Approach
"Okay, everyone's here!"
There are many knights in the conference room.
Among the knights in line are the instructors.
We, the cadets, are sandwiched between them.
"Twenty minutes ago, the 13th Airship Squadron went missing."
The person at the front is Wince-sama, explaining the situation.
She is now Acting Commander Wince.
"Commander Shiro Edgeworth is going in advance to confirm the situation and ensure their safety. The air fleet will launch in the next 40 minutes."
"Acting Commander, may I ask a question?"
"Go ahead."
"Where did it disappear?"
"The last communication was 1 hour and 30 minutes ago, 19,743 kilometers north-northwest of here."
Hearing those words, the knights make a fuss.
"Instructor, is there something over there?"
Sarah asks the instructor in a whisper.
"Ah, that's the only place where there are no plants. It's an unnatural place with melted glass scattered all over the ground."
"Is it a dangerous place?"
"There was nothing as of yesterday. I went there on a mission a month ago, but there was no danger at all, although it was creepy."
"Creepy?"
"I told you, right? There's no vegetation, the soil is bare, and there's no living things. It's not suitable for all animals in this world to live in."
Acting Commander Wince's explanation continues.
"The 3rd to 8th Knights will be dispatched. The airships will be the fifth and sixth, the fifth should be loaded with as many supplies as possible."
"We, the sixth, will be the lightest?"
"Yes, there is a possibility that the thirteenth airship is unable to navigate. Now, let's talk about the other knights and cadets who have been called."
Wince-sama looks at me.
"Right now, we're seeing a lot of wild animals approaching us. A herd of deer and a large number of wolves chasing them."
"Are we going to intercept them?"
The instructor asks
"Yes, if the fleeing deer passes through like this, there is a possibility that the wolves will attack our livestock."
"How many?"
"It is estimated that there are around 200."
The wolves of the Deep World are not like those of the Empire.
They are smaller and less powerful than the wolves of the Empire.
But their fangs are sharper and their speed is unmatched.
Many knights have nearly died because they were caught off guard.
The knight nearby is probably one of them.
There was a large wound on his neck where he rubbed it.
"In the event of a battle, immediately form a close formation. Never act alone."
The knights' expressions were different from usual.
Meanwhile, the instructor asks Wince-sama.
"What do the cadets do?"
"Basically, they will be protecting the livestock. However, if you feel in danger, please ensure your own safety even if you abandon the livestock."
