At the same time. 

　In the far west of the world continent, in the Schultz Federation──

　The Kūrenmaderu Radio Tower, the home base of the humanity rebellion resistance, was filled with unprecedented tension and commotion.

「Commander Min! An emergency message from Agito says that the entire mining area of the town is surrounded by unknown monsters!」

　From the communications room to the commander’s office. 

　The first words from the mercenary who rushed into the crowded room breathlessly caused the lined up captains to all turn grim.

「Guns and gunpowder are ineffective, and a part of the battlefront has already collapsed! At this rate, Agito will be destroyed before morning comes…………！」

「Wh, what do you mean?! Communications Officer Glenn!」

　Hitting the table, the female commander stood up vigorously in reaction. 

　Mistraum・Schulten・Biscetti. 

　The young girl who controlled the mercenaries of Western Schultz had a face turning pale. 

「Communication has been lost with both Commander Balmung and Command Jeanne’s units. Haven’t you just reported that?! Is, is this the same report……?!」

「Commander Min, keep yourself together.」

　The old soldier who was an assistant commander admonished her with a hoarse voice. 

　Captain Grings, who had taken over for the girl for the real commanding, had both of his arms on the table and his brow wrinkled. 

「The two commanders headed to the southwestern part of the federation. And Agito is to the east. The directions are almost opposite, so it’s unlikely that they were involved in the same incident.」

「So, so then……」

「Communications Officer Glenn.」

　The old soldier glared at the soldier standing in front of the door. 

「What do you mean by an unknown monster. If guns and gunpowder don’t work, does that mean it’s an unidentified cryptid?」

「……Unclear.」

「What?」

「It’s a monster that looks like a mass of steel! Its whole body is like steel or a machine, and the soldiers stationed in Agito also had never seen anything like it!」

「────」

　Silence, the office was quiet. (TL: silence is meant to be sfx)

　Commander Min, Commander-In-Chief Grings, and the ten or more commanders standing in a line were stunned speechless. 

「Wh, what’s going on……Commander Balmung and Commander Jeanne’s locations are unknown. And a new race that we have never seen before has just appeared……」

　The young girl screamed. 

　The tense cry echoed. 

「What in the world is going on in this federation?!」
