Since the start of the flying ship assault, the sounds of battle had continuously reverberated throughout the capital. But now, all of a sudden, the quiet of night had returned. Already the Kuscheperkan army’s presence in the city had been nearly eliminated, and there was no fighting to be seen in the capital. The black-armored knights tightened their cordon on the royal palace while the flying ships did the same from the sky.

That was when the front gates were thrown open, revealing a line of Lesvants. They were still wearing multitudes of decorations, as if they were about to conduct a ceremony of some sort. Given that they’d been stationed inside the royal palace, they likely weren’t meant to be counted on as a combat force, and the fact that they’d been forced into battle like this spoke of how dire the situation had become for the Kuscheperkans.

But from the Jaloudekian army’s perspective, the Lesvants were irrelevant; all their attention was focused on the machine in the middle of the line. There stood a silhouette knight that was markedly more ornate: Kuscheperka’s royal knight, the Cartoga Ol Kuschere. Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to make out most of its elegant design given that the night was so dark even moonlight was in short supply, and the only reliable sources of light were the fires. Even in such a situation, though, the silhouette knight served as a good marker for the levitating ships in the air.

In the midst of so many Lesvants that couldn’t hide their nervousness, Cartoga Ol Kuschere—with King Augusti in the pilot’s seat—quietly looked up at the largest flying ship.

“I heard that King Bardomelo has recently taken ill. So there’s no way he’s in that ship, but...” he muttered to himself.

Though it seemed reckless, Cartoga Ol Kuschere stepped out on its own. No one attacked it. Instead, one of the levitating ships landed on the pathway leading to the royal palace. Surprisingly for its size, the ship touched down quietly, prompting the king to watch on curiously.

“Thank goodness; it seems they’re accepting my proposal. And that’s just perfect...” Once again, the king was speaking to himself.

The king’s silhouette knight, painted with ocher as its base color, shined dully in the night as it smoothly drew its sword. It then pointed the tip of its weapon up to the sky ahead, as if it were praying. Next, it took the sword, twirled it so it faced down, and stabbed it into the ground. The Jaloudekian knights nearby gulped. This was a formal challenge, following ancient customs. And there was only one opponent present that would be worthy of facing the king’s Cartoga Ol Kushchere in single combat.

King Augusti smiled fearlessly from his cockpit, his boldness a vast departure from his normal demeanor. “My name is Augusti Valio Kuscheperka! Ruler of the Kingdom of Kuscheperka! I believe your general is in that flying ship; can you hear me?!”

A single machine stood up on the deck of the ship in response—the only pure white silhouette knight in a sea of black Tyrantors.
