The southern area of Aureatia. The terrain there, intricate ravines all intersecting with one another, was not formed from nature.

The topography was carved up so the pioneers of ages past could pass through the precipitous ravine, creating a large-scale transportation route connecting the Kingdoms with the cities of the southern region.

Given these circumstances, this tract of land, with many marketplaces and lodgings set up to serve as a hub for the coming and going caravans, was not strictly considered a city. It was called the Gumana Trading Post.

However, now, no matter what time of day, there were no traces of merchants coming and going to be seen. Packing the ravine full was a garrison of the Aureatia army, tasked with surveying and handling the impending natural disaster attack.

“So, this whole Particle Storm thing… I’ve actually heard about it, too.”

Among them all, the sight of a boy, barely sixteen years of age, dressed in general’s garb was a peculiar one to behold.

Looking down over the view of the ravine from the makeshift operational headquarters, he had one elbow thrust onto the tactician’s table.

The youngest man among Aureatia’s Twenty-Nine Officials. Twenty-Second General, Mizial the Iron-Piercing Plumeshade.

“It’s basically like typhoon or drought, right? It’s just weather. Honestly, there’s pretty much no reason to bring troops with us at all, really. Just having numbers isn’t gonna do much to stop it.”

“If all the theories up until now are true, then yes, that would be true.”

The man replying had only one arm. Twenty-Fifth General, Kayon the Thundering. He was reputed to be a man of great caliber who more than made up for the abilities of Mizial, exceptionally immature for a top-level government official.

“But, well, just the fact that a weather pattern supposed to be unique to the Yamaga Barrens moved this far, and is approaching Aureatia, makes it all abnormal. It makes more sense to consider things like Jelki said.”

“You mean, about how if it’s true form isn’t any weather, it can be stopped?”

“I wonder. If that information’s correct, it could be even worse than a simple storm.”

Mizial’s apprehensions were justifiable. If the Yamaga Barrens’ Particle Storm itself was indeed descending upon them, there wasn’t a single thing the Aureatia soldiers could do. With even steel armor proving worthless against the furious particles of dust, they would simply have their skin shaven off and die.

“But if we kept waiting without doing anything, everyone would start to wonder what the hell the army was thinking. At the bare minimum, leading the evacuation, providing material transport support, and then reconstruction aid. There’re mountains of stuff to handle on top of surveying the Particle Storm. We have barely any time until it arrives.”

“And we’re still getting stuck with grunt work, huh? The Okahu and Old Kingdoms’ fronts are already in bad enough shape. Can we really be mobilizing this many troops? I get that it’s that much of an emergency and all, but still.”

Mizial the Iron-Piercing Plumeshade was a military officer who showed more acumen with offensives on the front lines than giving strategic commands from the rear.
