On that day, the declaration of war was announced to all people who lived in the world.
A huge image was projected in the sky.
The boy with blue eyes in the projection opened his mouth dignifiedly.
『My name is Velda. The one who brings destruction to this world.
Today, on this day and at this time, I declare a war to the residents of the entire world.
Life or death.
All of you should fight as hard as possible. Well then, shall we begin? Armageddon (The Final War)!』
Those words became the signal of the start.
From the huge gate that appeared in the sky, armies of angels spring out in succession.
The world was immediately wrapped in chaos.
Oh dear, we received a preemptive strike.
By the oath from Velda, the former Angra Mainyu, thus the game begins.
However, Velda huh.
Angra Mainyu having that name means that there is no trace of Yuuki’s personality anymore.
Though I don’t know what kind of effect it had, I did comprehend that a completely different plan was put into motion.
「I don’t care whether it is Velda or something else, I will beat him speechless!」
「Yeah that’s right. There is no reason to trouble Rimuru-sama.」
「Yes. Considering that I want to go out and see places I never seen, wishing for world destruction is unacceptable.」
Ul, Testa and Carrera are talking as they please.
If it’s me, I would be more careful of Yuuki, though I feel this is not an easy task.
I wonder from where did these three’s confidence come from.
The situation of each country is projected by my surveillance magic on several large screens which I installed in the control room, which is in the Joint Operations Headquarters.
The situation is not good, yet it is not the worst either. Due to prior communications, the governing body of each country were able to expect this situation.
Though with limited time, the arrangements for the evacuation instructions to the people were put in order. The problem is the chaos that will occur due to the prolonged war and food shortage.
Hinata is also cooperating in leading the people, so the evacuation was finished by yesterday. The people who were doubting it before, are now quiet.
I wonder till when this status will keep.
Right now, people who were confused by fear and people who complained because of their anxiety are few. However, such people will increase as time passes.
The people in the capital cities, where the evacuation is completed, only have enough food for about a week.
Because the help hasn’t reached the people of the rural areas, only a warning was conveyed. Later, under the command of the local government, in the current situation, each of them will cope with it by themselves.
I think that a considerable amount of effort will be needed just to maintain the current state.
Because The Great War has occurred every 500 years, only the shelters are prepared.
