C484: The Last Struggle / Jean
The approaching army was the regular army of the Republic of Dhahran. Immediately, the Sword Saint, Kiyone and the others prepared for battle.
When the Dhahran forces surrounded Musashi, they did not immediately launch an attack, and only one ride-hover approached. The action was too defenseless to be a trap, so we decided to wait and see what would happen.
“Jean! Jean, can you hear me! You know who I am!”
It was a familiar voice coming from the ride-hover. Apparently, he knew I was here. Well, it seems that’s not the only reason he was here with his army in tow.
I could tell from the angry and impatient tone of his voice that he was being very hard pressed.
“I hear you. What does the great President want with such a commoner?”
“Don’t play games with me! Your manipulations have ruined everything! With the help of the Elysian Empire, this country would have grown bigger and richer, but……my plans……my ambitions……Jean! You are the only one I will not forgive!”
“You really are an idiot. I don’t know what you were promised by the Elysian Empire, but do you really think they will keep their word?　They’ll just use you and leave you to die when you’re no longer useful.”
“Ugh, shut up!  I will not let that happen, I am the one who is using the Elysian Empire! I am the one who will win in the end!”
Where did it go wrong and how did he become such a distorted human being?
When we first met, he may have had an elitist attitude, but he would not have been this arrogant. There must have been something that changed him, but I don’t have time to think about it now.
“What kind of victory are you looking at? Are you really happy with that victory? Are you acting with the people in mind? You are the head of this country, and your first consideration should be the happiness of your people, not your own ambitions!”
“Gghh……don’t lecture me! Enough! You are going to disappear now!　There’s no use talking to you! I won’t even accept your surrender, so be prepared!”
After spitting this out, Bouddarga returned to his own army.
It seemed that he was going to launch an attack. From the look of him, I guess he knows there is no point in winning this battle.
I guess he was frustrated that I had interfered and in a way he was just taking out his frustration on me.
“The enemy is attacking. Excalibur, Kiku Ichimonji, Onimaru Kunitsuna, Toratetsu, go out! Give them a thorough beating! Musashi, cover the magicraft squadron and bombard the enemy ride carriers!”
Although we were outnumbered and only had 4 magicrafts while the enemy had over 300, we were stronger.
After seeing Sword Saint fight earlier I think he alone can deal with all the enemies here.
