While Ady and Batson was whispering and nodding to each other, the preparations were proceeding smoothly. The Knight Commander Eru decided the plan, and assigned tasks to the members.
"I will lead the rescue team. Chid and Ady will come with us too.”
"Huh!? Us?"
Not just Ady, even Chid was panicking after being named.
"Yes. You two can pilot Motor Beat just like me, and are the pilots of the Tzendrinbles too. In order to keep the transport and infiltration forces to the minimum, you two would be indispensable members.”
"I see… I understand, Eru! Let’s rescue the princess together!"
Ady raised her fist stronger than usual, and Chid shrugged as if it couldn’t be helped. Emrys who was listening quietly grabbed Eru’s head and said:
"Hey Ernesti, I want to join the rescue team, no matter what. What do you think I came all the way here to do?”
Eru escaped the claws grabbing his head and shaking it, then agreed with a sigh. Emrys might not be that compatible with the mission, but it was no use trying to dissuade him.
"That’s the members of the rescue team. Next… I will be handing an important task to Edgar-sempai, Di-sempai, Helvi-sempai and all squads of the Silver Phoenix Knights."
The Squad Captains straightened their backs and gathered in front of the Knight Commander Eru. They had an inkling about where the conversations was heading, the main force’s mission was probably to divert the enemy’s attention. This was a dangerous move, but their expression were determined. Eru took out a pile of paper out of nowhere, showed it to them and said:
"In order to let the Kuschepercas fight too, I thought up a plan to remodel the Resvants. These are the designs."
"Huh!? When did you… That’s impressive as always."
Although the Squad Captains were surprised, they still took the blueprints carefully. Eru puffed his chest proudly, then reverted to his serious expression and said:
“I hope the squads can bring this along to convince the nobles in the region. When we successfully carry out the rescue mission, it would mean the return of the country’s monarch. What is left would be a war to reclaim the nation. At that time, not just us, they will need to fight too, and this is a way to give them some strength.”
The Squad Captains suddenly felt the blueprints in their hands turned heavier. In a sense, these blueprints would decide the future of this lands.
"… Really now, you are making it sound so easy."
"But this is interesting. I am more suited for defense anyway, I will make sure the plans are handed to the aristocrats safety, and give the enemy a huge surprise.”
Not just Edgar, all the members raised their arms in a loud cheer. And so, the rescue team and main forces stepped onto their own battlefield. The Silver Phoenix Knights that appeared calm on the surface but was as turbulent as a storm began their plans.
"Fufu, the princess rescue plan! That sounds good… Ahh, being rescued by Eru, I’m so jealous…”
"Stop talking nonsense. Come, we have an important mission on hand, go get ready."
Amongst the Knights getting ready to move, Chid grabbed the collar of the dreaming Ady and dragged her away.
