"I can't cooperate with the guy who came to destroy our world!"
This Jaga, who was probably Atalanta's right-hand man, made a loud announcement to everyone present.
"… Me too!"
"Count me in!"
"…"
After the remaining Jaga looked at each other, some also raised their hands in righteous indignation, and some fell into silence and did not say a word.
"The guy who destroyed the world …"
Tachika Fujimaru froze in place. "That refers to …"
"Huh?"
Esders stood at the door of the conference room, and he could not help but smirk as if he felt that it was interesting.
"… I'm sorry, Tachika."
Atalanta's expression kept changing. Under the burning gazes of several Yakas that were filled with anticipation, she gritted her teeth and relaxed. Finally, she made a decision.
"I can't watch these children in front of me disappear, please forgive me."
Atalanta liked children.
That was something that Tachika Fujimaru knew when she was in Chaldea. For children, she was even willing to fall into evil. If it was for those Jaga children, it was also expected that she would part ways with her.
"So … why?"
The red-haired girl bit her lip and asked Atalanta and the Jaga in front of her with confusion.
"…"
Atalanta silently looked away and did not answer, but her eyes were full of apology.
"It's funny!"
A cold voice came from behind. Esders's words passed over Tachika Fujimaru and stabbed straight at Atalanta.
"You mean, the dozens of children in front of you, even if it is expanded to the entire anomaly zone, are more important than the hundreds of millions of children in the entire history of pan-human history? The hundreds of millions of children in pan-human history can't even compare to the tens of thousands of children in the anomaly zone. This side should live, and the other side should die? "
Esders's tone was full of ridicule.
Laughing at Atalanta's naivety, her buffoonery, her ridiculousness.
Between tens of thousands and hundreds of millions, if placed on a scale, there was no need to hesitate at all. Anyone would choose the more important side.
However, Atalanta did the opposite and chose the lighter side.
For the sake of tens of thousands, he had chosen to give up hundreds of millions.
No matter who it was, the moment they found out about her choice, they would find it unbelievable or even ridiculous.
"…"
Atalanta still didn't speak, but she lowered her head so that no one could see her face. They could only see that her body was trembling slightly.
"Stop talking!"
Jaga, who was the first to speak, glared angrily at the two people at the door.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to pretend anymore! We're not on the same side as you. Seeing that you've helped us a lot these past few days, we won't do anything. You can leave now! "
"That's right! Leave! "
The other Jaga also raised their fists and shouted. They looked at Tachika Fujimaru with resentment and hatred.
"…"
The red-haired girl opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her lips felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds. She couldn't open her mouth at all.
Esders narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous color appeared in his eyes.
Other than Ryuga, no one had ever dared to yell at her. After looking at her with hatred, they dared to ask her to leave. Usually, the people who did that would not even leave a corpse behind.
"Report-! Report-! "
Just when the two sides were in a deadlock, a scout suddenly shouted in panic and came to the front of the conference room.
"Not good! Not good, leader! A large number of soldiers are observed approaching the stronghold! There are at least more than ten thousand people! It is likely that they are the army from Moscow! "
"What?!"
Voices of horror soon filled the entire conference room.
…
Below the cliff.
More than ten thousand Jaga soldiers, all wearing winter coats, marched in the mountains against the snowstorm. The army formed several long lines.
At this moment, this army was coming from all directions to surround the stronghold of the rebel army.
After the arrival of the army was detected, panic quickly spread throughout the rebel stronghold. Screams and children's cries filled more than a hundred houses of various sizes.
"… It is indeed the army from Moscow!"
Atalanta stood on the watchtower and looked down at the long line of soldiers marching below. Her face became very ugly.
"But why would the army from Moscow suddenly appear here?"
There was no news at all before this, and there were no signs at all!
Tachika Fujimaru and Esders, along with the Jaga soldiers who were arguing before, came to the gate of the fortress to observe the movements of the army below.
Although there were signs of division in the conference room before, at this moment, the situation was urgent. The biggest threat at the moment was the Tsar's army.
"There are snowstorms in Russia all year round, and the visibility is very low."
Ryuga's figure appeared in the field unknowingly. Her unpredictable footsteps surprised the Jaga soldiers and made them nervous. They were afraid that Ryuga would attack them.
All of them knew that this outrageously beautiful Old Breed male was the frightening existence that had killed Vasilyevich! Although he looked thin and weak, he had terrifying power beyond imagination.
"Moreover, there are traces of spells on the bodies of those soldiers."
Ryuga's gaze swept back and forth among the army at the foot of the mountain for a moment. She examined them and said, "The level of the spells is quite high. Even I have never seen anything like it in my life. It is not worse than Chaldea's Tamamo-no-Mae."
Spells and magic were not exactly the same.
Although they were both tactics used to change phenomena, the essence of magic was to arrange the program of existing things, while the essence of spells was to use one's own body as the material to arrange the program.
Generally speaking, incantations were more likely to appear in Japan or in the indigenous tribes that were isolated from the rest of the world. In essence, it was a spell that spread over a small area. In the Clock Tower, it was even looked down upon as only second-rate magicians would study it.
But on the body of the army at the foot of the mountain, there were traces of large-scale spells.
With a very high level of spells to cover the army's tracks, plus the natural snowstorm as a cover, it was basically impossible to find their whereabouts unless they were right in front of them.
"That is –?!"
Tachika Fujimaru's eyes suddenly focused. With the help of her eyes that were strengthened by a very small amount of magic in her body, she saw the figure of the commander standing at the front of the army.
It was a girl with long white hair, wearing a snow-white dress, holding a faceless golden hair doll in her arms. At this moment, she was commanding the army with a cold face.
Anastasia!
She led the Slaughter Hunters to invade Chaldea and froze the entire Chaldea. She was a follower of Cadoc!
Now she actually took the initiative to attack the stronghold of the rebel army?
Is this the meaning of a decisive battle?
