Behind the Scenes

Tuesday, October 18th

Word that a base had been seized quickly reached Ralgwin. He’d been furious just the other day upon hearing that a factory was attacked, so the communications officer making the report now was trembling with fear... but Ralgwin took the news surprisingly well.

“Good work. That will be all,” he said calmly.

“Y-Yes, sir! Pardon me!” the officer yelped with a salute. He then returned to his seat with a perplexed expression.

His fellow soldiers looked at him piteously, but they also looked a bit mystified to see him unharmed. Several bases had now been captured since the factory fell, and Ralgwin had been alarmingly quiet in response to it all. Was everything really all right...? They exchanged looks, each one of them wondering the same thing.

“Hmm, it seems that our outermost shell is under attack,” Grevanas observed. He’d heard the report as well, but unlike the soldiers, he wasn’t surprised by Ralgwin’s reaction. He simply nodded as if it were a matter of course while looking up at the hologram projecting related data.

“Yes,” Ralgwin agreed. “We can safely ignore any attempt to breach that shell.”

After losing his factory, Ralgwin had instituted sweeping changes to logistics and information management in his army. The new structure of his network was like a multilayered eggshell, with people, supplies, and information traveling across the surfaces of their respective shells with limited access to the other layers. Any base that connected layers was moved regularly, and intel about any such connection was guarded with the utmost secrecy. This reduced the risk of losing critical locations and intel to the Imperial Army, whose latest conquests were limited to bases on the outermost shell and therefore posed no real threat to Ralgwin and his men.

“Splendid planning, Ralgwin-dono,” Grevanas offered.

“After the crippling loss of the factory, it was necessary,” Ralgwin replied.

“Indeed.”

“That said, this latest attack did exact a cost. We’ve lost the stockpile of magic weapons we had stored at that base,” Ralgwin continued.

“It was meant to be a key outpost in our next offensive, after all.”

Nefilforan’s hunch had been right. The magic and spiritual energy weapons she’d recovered from the captured base were intended for an attack on the royal families and the Blue Knight. Losing them was a blow all its own to Ralgwin’s plans.

“Speaking of our future plans, I bear good tidings,” said Grevanas. He had an idea of how to make up for the lost weapons.

“Oh? Has there been a new development in your research?” Ralgwin inquired.

The fall of the factory had been a long list of losses for the rebels, but they’d come away from the devastation with one gain—a black goo known as spiritual energy waste, which could store negative spiritual energy and give rise to living corpses. Grevanas had devoted himself to studying the substance of late.

“I’m now on the verge of being able to control the waste,” he proclaimed.

When Grevanas had first harvested the waste, it was only capable of infecting victims and spreading, making it mostly useless as a weapon.
