The number of gathered《Saviors》 of the Japanese Division actually amounted to 200 people .
Certainly, it was a large-scale mobilization never seen before .
At the time of the subjugation of the Dreadnought Sea Demon species in Tokyo Bay, of which the worst memories remained vivid, a number of that degree couldn’t be gathered .
It could be said that this was an evidence that the Japanese Division had been growing steadily these three years since then .
As this became a joint operation between Japan, Britain and France, it could be said that this was a demonstration towards the other countries .
Number was power .

That was the standard practice of Order .
Therefore──
Who would have thought that the frontline would collapse in just 5 minutes?
– I don’t believe it . This is a lie! A damn lieeeeee!
The second platoon leader, Toomine, who belonged to Tokyo Headquarters, spat out and raised hell .
As a veteran who had gone through many battlefields since the establishment of the Japanese Division, it was difficult for him to accept this reality .
Countless butterflies flew in front, on the right, on the left and even behind him .
He was surrounded by monster butterflies that swarmed people and gave them electric shocks with their bodies made of electric current .
Even if they were crushed or smashed, the electric butterflies gracefully and flutteringly flew down from the sky and attacked .
By the time he looked up at them, the electric butterflies covered the sky completely, his eyes were nothing but dazzled by them .
Extremely gruesome but beautiful grim reapers .
The fantastic view that concealed the heavens was in fact nothing but the scenery of hell itself .
Not just Toomine . Around 200《Saviors》 were fighting with all they had to deal with the attacking electric butterflies .
Everyone was doing the best they could do to manage one way or another the swarm of butterflies to avoid the death right before their eyes .
There was no chain of command anymore .
Toomine himself forgot to issue instructions to the troops under his command .
And what was absolutely terrifying was──
The fact that these electric butterflies weren’t the enemy that had to be defeated .
The body that kept producing electric butterflies infinitely .
A monster with a total length of 300 meters and a height of over 60 meters .
Fortress . *
TN: Fortress is the furigana reading for Stronghold-class 《Metaphysical》 .
The beetle-like thing with seven horns shook the ground every time it moved its six legs .
His subordinates were scattered all at once .
Toomine shouted as he was blown away by the impact of the stomps .
– This isn’t a battle anymore!
It was neither slaughter nor trampling down .
Humans didn’t unintentionally call “trampling ants underfoot” that way .
Toomine was thrown violently against the ground, he rolled and stood up, feeling desperation and then, and without a moment’s delay, shouted at the swarming electric butterflies while driving them away and looked up at the head of Fortress with blurred vision .
– Please! I ask of you! We’re sorry!
He begged and prayed to the expressionless and inorganic face peculiar to insects .
In ancient times, men and women fell into a state of mind in which they regarded the huge organisms called whales as sacred .
And yet . Since there were two other monsters like this raging on the battlefield, it was no surprise that he was dumbfounded .
Originally, the person he should be praying to would be Suruga Andou .
At the time of the battle in Tokyo Bay, that saint led them .
But not now .
Because of the decision of fools who had plenty of political power, he was unable to leave Tokyo .
– It’d be great if they displayed versatility at times like this!
Therefore, only curses accumulated .
– There’s no way we can fight with a monster like this without Surugsama…
Therefore, only despair accumulated .
The first large-scale joint operation across countries of《Order》 .
The rise of the curtain was the worst .
Who would have hypothesized the situation they had fallen into?
And yet, there were many people who were eagerly waiting and prepared to the unprecedented large-scale operation for more than 10 days .
Yes, two weeks ago from today .
The situation unfolded with the rescue of Flavie Sakho──
