Twenty minutes had passed since Halberd’s premonition. Through the vast rural plains of Aeros there ran straight gravel roads. On top of them lay timber crossties and rails laid by the Reincarnators, forming their railway lines which extended into the distance without end.

The undulating landscape had been either dug out or filled in, the railway lines trampling the ancestral wheat fields of this place. Even the fields that had not been filled in with earth had been abandoned, left to go to seed.

This infamous transcontinental railway, which had served as a symbol of the Reincarnators’ colonial policies, now lay in miserable destruction before Dill’s eyes.

“That’s one of the NR freight trains.”

“Looks like it had an altercation with that castle.”

“Were even the elite railway police powerless to stop it?”

The eighty-car freight train lay strewn on the ground like entrails. Nearby was the crater of a footprint left by the castle giant. Apparently the train had unluckily crossed paths with the giant along its route, and the giant had kicked it off the tracks.

The convoy stopped in order to investigate the wreckage. There were spears and arrows sticking out of the overturned carriages, and they had not come from the heroes of Krios. They were equipment carried by the regular army of the Terean Empire.

Rick walked up beside Dill, picked up a broken arrow, and muttered thoughtfully to himself. “Those slow coaches, who always arrived late to the party during the Holy War...or so we used to call them. Well, looks like they’ve been carrying on the fight in their own way.”

Dill had heard rumors that since the arrival of the Reincarnators five years prior, the remnants of the regular army had remained in the former territory of Terea, carrying out acts of guerrilla warfare. The freight train that had been trampled when the walking castle suddenly appeared would have been ideal prey for them. Anything of value had already been carried away.

“I would have been grateful if they’d worked to slow that castle down even a little...” Dill looked out over the plains in the direction of the giant’s footprints. He couldn’t even see the silhouette of Castle Krios. The distance between them had only continued to widen.

“Let’s be frank...you were the first one to suggest that. Stop screwing around and admit it. There’s a way for us to close the distance between us and the castle, isn’t there?” Dill seized the Manager, Toiler, and put the screws to him.

The scam artist hemmed and hawed. “Well, regardless of the fact that I can’t say for sure that there is no way...” Rust-colored eyes glared down at him. “...Um, there is a way. It’s a terribly dangerous method, though.”

“Understood. Let’s go with that.”

“Eh? Don’t you even want to know what it is first?” said Toiler, playing the fool. Dill pulled him closer still and glared at him.

“Let’s go with that. We’re running out of time.”

***

Another hour passed. The Halberd Brigade and the Reincarnators had deviated from the path taken by Castle Krios.
