Trapped in Another World With No Magic

Chapter 86: Flight of the Valkyries Part 1

Four dragons land at Fort Twilight the day after Choul sent Rose and Blue to deliver the message from Empress Sundenelle. Daniel wrote a reply, and he authorized a mission for Ryuogriar and Geirahoel.

Choul kneels before the two dragon Empresses, while the commanders and their troops imitate him. "Your Graces, you honor us with your presence."

Ryuogriar replies proudly, "You all have done excellent work capturing and reinforcing Fort Twilight. We are pleased with your results."

Geirahoel adds loudly, "All of you have worked tirelessly for the Fievegal, and his Grace, Emperor Daniel, is most pleased, as are we. But, the war is not over. If you disappoint us, you will bring disgrace not only on yourselves, but Emperor Daniel as well. Do not disappoint us."

The soldiers and Choul cheer together. Geirahoel smiles with a proud and prideful smirk.

"Your words are more than we deserve," replies Choul.

Ryuogriar smirks. "Our words are no more nor less than you deserve. You have worked well, but as my sister has said, it is not over yet. Rise, and resume your work. Empress Geirahoel and I shall speak with the General further."

"Thank you, your Graces!" cheer the soldiers and commanders. They obey, returning to their work as Ryuogriar states, "Rise, Sir Choul. We have to discuss the next steps."

Choul nods, standing up. "Your Grace."

Geirahoel points at him, saying sternly, "You should consider yourself lucky that we came all this way."

"I sincerely do, your Illustrious Majesty. What can I do for you?"

Ryuogriar gestures over her shoulder. "We have delivered the message from Daniel, but we have use for Rose and Blue now. They have agreed to help with our mission. Do you have need of these two dragons for your defensive strategy, Sir Choul?"

Choul looks at Blue and Rose, who are behind Ryuogriar and Geirahoel, remaining respectfully silent.

"I have no objection, your Grace. But, I would ask if you truly need them. I can make use of them, as you know."

The platinum dragon looks around, verifying that they are not being monitored, and she casts a simple spell, isolating sound around them; something she learned from Wenlianna, who created a magic device for the same purpose.

"We will be assaulting the gathered forces of the Demon Covenant, and additional firepower and minimized troop presence will be invaluable to our mission."

"Y-You're assaulting the Covenant army?"

"Yes. Geirahoel and I have volunteered."

"We were asked by the lady Empresses," chimes in Rose. "With your permission, General, we would like to accept this opportunity."

Choul nods. "Understood. I'll make due without you for now." He looks at Ryuogriar. "Will they be alright without large scale magic defenses, your Grace? If not, I could volunteer in their place and have them take over command here."

"We will not be engaging in a protracted battle of attrition. We will do several quick strafes with fire and destroy the Orbicharium. Whatever their retaliation, it should disrupt any attempts to attack Fort Twilight or Fort Peony. As you know, our dear co-consorts from the east have attachment to Fort Peony, specifically. We are officially becoming the wedge between the east and west, and Daniel granted us permission to demonstrate our resolve and power."

"I see... Blue, Rose? I'll take your place if you choose."

They shake their heads. "Please worry not, General. We will fight valiantly to protect the Empresses and serve their needs."
