Hello again fellow Readers, it has been a long time now, but I just finished this chapter. Well then let's get it started.

Location: imperial capital, senate building

This was an embarrassment, your majesty. a middle-aged man with short black hair stood in the middle of the Senate. He wore a purple and orange cloak. This was Marquis Casel, leader of the emperial front of him sat a man with short blonde hair, a mustache and a beard. This was the emperor, Molt Sol Augustus.

"We have lost 60% of our Military strength. What do you want us to do? How would you handle this Situation." he said. Around him the Senate began to murmur. They were worried since the defeat of their army against the unknown enemy. And now said enemy set up their base on Alnus Hill, a sacred place for the empire.

"Casel you are not alone with you worries." The emperor said. "Yes it's true that we have lost our Military. It's to be feared that the vassals of the empire and the other countries may revolt and attack the imperial capital. How pathetic." that caught Casel off guard. "every time our empire was in danger, the emperor, the Senate and the people became one to face the danger and so it grow in strength." Molt said. "No war can be won without losses. That's why I will make no one responcible for this battle. If a foreign Nation really should try to siege the capital, I'm sure None of you would waste time in court." he said smiling.

With that he ahd the majority of the Senate on his side. The members started to chuckle and grin with self-convidence. However Casel was None of them. "To pass all the responcibility..." he said to himself.

"But what are we going to do?" an older man said. "The army we had sent was defeated in just two days. And now the enemy captured the gate and is Setting up their base. We tried of course to reclaim the hill. But the enemy in the distance. He remembered the gun shots and how his men were killed. "I've never seen such Magic."

"We must fight them!" a voice in the senate yelled. A muscular bald man in a gray armor, most likely a General. "We can get soldiers from the other countries. Then we can reclaim Alnus and attcack the lands beyond the gate again." he yelled.

"What can a battle with brute force achieve?" anothr voice cried. "We would just repeat Godasen's mistake." another one yelled.

The whole Senate erupted in shouts. They all had only one Thing in common, to fight the invaders. Molt then raised his Hand and the crowd fell silent immediatly.

"I don't intend to do nothing about this. The only Option we have left, is to fight." The Senate gasped. "So sent Messages to our tributaries and neighboring states. Ask for help to defend the continent from These men from another world. We will sent the army of the united kingdoms, Godù Rino Gwaban, to an attack to Alnus Hill." Molt said.

The Senate broke out in cheers and shouts like "Loyalty to emperor Molt". The elderly man looked around helpless, like None of them listened what he just said. Casel however approached Molt. "Your majesty, the hill of Alnus shall be buried under the corpses of horses and riders." Casel said. Molt however only grinned at this.

The next day

Location: Assemble of the kings

In a tent the kings of the states around the empire sat on a table, when a messenger of the emoire briefed them in the current Situation.

"What about the emperial army?" One of them asked.

"Our army nearly faces the enemy directly. Our commander cannot leave his current position." the messenger stated. "It's expected from the army of the united kingdoms to attack Alnus in the dawn."

"Good then my troops will be at the front." one of kings said. "No my should be on the front." another one said. Soon the kings argued about who would be at the front. Excluded from one, Duran king of Elbe. He had long brown hair, a mustache and a beard. He also wore a red and black eyepatch.

After the Messenger left the kings discussed about their victory. Next to Duran the duke of the league principality sighed. "It's a shame that our men won't be at the front."

"Not even 10000 men from the other world stand against our 30000. Do you really think the only way to get honour is to fight at the front?" Duran said.

"When you knew about this why didn't you asked for the front line?" the duke asked.

"I have a bad Feeling about this?" Duran replied.

"It seems like even the Lion of Elbe Duran is helpless against the age." the duke laughed.

The next day

Location: valley around Alnus hill

The army of the united kingdoms marched towards Alnus Hill. The king of Duran was a bit late so he let himself get briefed in.

"The other kingdoms are in position my lord." a soldiers said.

"What about the empire?" Duran asked.

"Well... around the hill they were nowhere to be found."

"What?"

Meanwhile with the army.

The troops marched Forward, when the troops seemed to notice that no emperial army was there. Then a loud Explosion occured in the middle of the Forces. They could only wonder when the artillery of the JSDF shot the soldiers down. King Duran only felt the vibrations of the explosions not far away.

"Did Alnus became a volcano?" he asked himself. When he reached the ledge of the valley, he saw a big smoke creen. When the dust seetled, he saw it. It was a gruesome sight to behold. Thousands of men sead on the ground, the smell of death was in the air. One of Duran's soldiers tried hard not to vomit. "Where is the king of alguna? And Modwan? Where is Duke Ligù?" Duran asked himself.

First offensive - approx. 10000 dead

Second offensive - approx. 40000 dead

Back at the camp of the allied kingsdoms

"Over the half of our 100000 men strong army is lost! How could this happen?" a soldier said.

"Why didn't the impirial army arrived yet? No even they are helpless against them!" another said.

"we Need to retreat." another said.

I won't go back into my kingdom." Duran said, receiving a gasp of the soldier. "Not until I have avenged this with an arrow."

"But we are powerless against them."

"Maybe tonight. We have new moon. We should be able to reach Alnus from the other side tonight." Duran said.

At night

Duran's troops sneaked through the night, when suddenly flares illuminated the night sky. Duran knew what that meant. "Everyone Forward. Riders and men run. Run! RUN! RUN!" he shouted. Then the artillery shot at the army. Duran still rode forth with full Speed. He then rode in a fence of barbed wires, forcing the horse to shake him off. The soldiers tried to protect their king with a barrier of shields, but those were soon breached with bullets.

Duran went forward until he spotted a bow and arrow. He shot the arrow but couldn't see if it hit something. "Why?" was the only Thing he said, before he begun to laugh like a mad man. Then a artillery missile exploded in front of him and he lost consciousness.

The next morning

Hitoshi, Itami and sergeant Kurata Takeo were on the now barren field. Many vultures had been attracted by the sheer number of corpses and Hitoshi couldn't blame them. After the battle against the emperial army, Hitoshi went to the battlefield to cut a pieces of meat out of the corpses. He had to eat after all. He went alone to a part to the field, hoped that no one watched before he cut something off and quickly put it in his mouth. He missed his butcher knife. The combat knife wasn't suited to cut bones, but better then nothing. He could have brought his quinque with him, but a mysterious gray suitcase would be a bit suspicious. Hitoshi had still the two qiunques of the CCG officers, he killed back there to remind him why he joined the JSDF. Both were koukaku and cut very good through flesh and bones. But Hitoshi preferred the butcher knife, make it look more like a Serial killer and not ghoul with a quinque.

Itami inspected a broken bow, when Testsuya spoke up. "Approx. 60000 dead on the enemies side."

"120000 with those in Ginza." Itami muttered.

"Feeling sorry for the enemy?" Testsya asked.

"Look at the numbers. With what kind of country are we dealing with?" Itami said before throwing the broken bow away.

'Apparantly an under-developed one with no real industry or technological advantages, that increases it's power by conquering other countries.' Hitoshi thought. But something was off. The tattered banners didn't show the same emblem as the ones in Ginza. 'What's going on here?' he thought, before turning back his attention to the others there was still work to do.

Location: imperial palace

"After the army was defeated they lost their leaders and headed back home." the messenger of the emperor finished. He was standing in front of the throne, where Molt sat relaxed.

"Just as planned. That eliminates the danger of the neighboring countries. Burn every city and village between Alnus and the capital to the ground. Poision the vells and take the livestock." he said.

"Scorched earth tactics. I fear less taxes income and apostasy." "Apostasy?" Molt asked.

"Casel and a few others could plan a revolt against you, your majesty."

"So we can take care of the entire senate as well. Let the emperial Police take care of this." Then the door slammed opened and a Young red-haired entered the room. The Messenger qiuckly retreated in front of the princess. Pina Co Lada (A/N: Seriously?) one of the many children of the emperor.

"Pina, why are you here?" Molt asked.

"Because of Alnus of course." she said. "I heard that an unknown force has taken over the sacred Alnus Hill and repeled the imperial army. Why are you father doing nothing about it?"

The Messenger tried to defuse the Situation. "We will gather troups and..." "Silence." Pina cut him off. "This will not stop the enemy from advancing towards us."

"You are right. But we know nothing about this enemy." Molt said. "You are coming just in the right moment. I want you and your order of knights to scout them."

"Me and my order of knights?" Pina looked bewildered.

"That is of course when you are and don't just pretend to be real soliders." Molt added. Pina looked at her father with a look of anger and recognition.

"Your wish is my command, my majesty." Pina said while bowing to her father.

Location: Alnus hill

Hitoshi had a pretty good day. He had breakfast, had patrolled around the hill and was currently reading a dictionary of the new worlds language, while sitting on a rock. The gouvernement had ordered the JSDF to go in contact with the inhabitants of the special reason and to form friendly realtionships with them. Hitoshi had to say it was a good first step. However it seemed like whoever was behind the Ginza incident didn't want that to happen. He thought back to Anteiku. When he checked his post on the day before he went to the special region, he found a postcard and a photo. On the postcard were encouraging words from the staff and the picture showed them. He really liked however that Touka wrote 'Try not to get into trouble, you idiot.' He had to chuckle.

"What are you doing here?" a female voice tore him out his thoughts. Hitoshi looked up and saw his now-fellow Sergeant Shino Kuribayashi, or how some people called her behind her back 'the small monster with tits'. "Shouldn't you be on attention for incoming orders?" she said.

"Hello to you to Kuribayashi. I'm attentive as always and right now I'm preparing myself." Hitoshi said.

"Preparing for what?" she barked. Hitoshi just showed her the book he was reading. After a quick glance he continued to read. "Alright then." she turned around to take her leave.

"Wait a second." he said. Shino halted and turned around. "Are you mad or something that I'm now a Sergeant like you or something?" he asked. Of course Sergeant first class was over Sergeant but didn't Change the fact that they were both sergeants now. The Response was an attempted punch in his face, when Hitoshi just caught it not looking away from his book. Shino tried to Punch him with the other Hand, but he just jumped of the bolder, twisted her arms around and pressed her against the bolder he was sitting before.

"See, attentive as always." Hitoshi said. Shino however wanted to break free with kicks, because her other arm bwas between the rock and her body.

*FLAP*

Hitoshi had shut the book and now used his other arm to block her kicks. After a minute Shino gave up and Hitoshi released her.

"I'm not jealous at you or something like that. I just don't think you have what it takes to be a Sergeant at all." Shino said.

"If I'm so bad at being a sergeant why don't you help me become a better one?" Hitoshi said. Shino then looked suprised at her friend. Ever since their match, they actually became good friends. Hitoshi could be a bit brutal at times and was a great sparing partner. Hitoshi smiled at her then held his hand forward, offering a handshake. She took the hand.

"Well then, for good cooperation Mori-san." she said.

"Hope so as well Kuribayashi-senpai." he said. She then walked off. Hitoshi sighed, while glancing back in his book.

Despite the fact of being a social and tolerant person, he still couldn't talk to women. He had seen some good looking ghoul women, but mostly the would try to eat Hitoshi as soon as possible or had an unbearable personality, like Touka when she's annoyed. (Back in the Anteiku: Touka suddenly felt urge to kill someone.) Also Hitoshi was a ghoul himself, what meant that if he would take a human as a girlfriend, that there was still a big chance that he would eat her. Over the months he trained with Yomo again, he learned about Nishiki and his girlfriend. Hitoshi had to say it was quite something to see a human that still accepted him as her boyfriend. But he was more interrested who Touka's boyfriend was.

He then got an order by Kuribayashi over his radio.

"Mori, here is Kuribayashi." she said.

"Here is Mori, what's the matter?" he asked. He didn't like to be called by his Family name.

"You're ordered to come to the armored cars, so get ready." she said before cutting the connection.

Hitoshi stood up and walked to his destination. 'This day is going to suck.' he thought to himself.

"Third recon team ready for duty." Soichiro Kuwahara said while saluting with the rest of the team, towards Itami. Hitoshi didn't know why, but somehow he is in Itami's group to travel around the special region and to investigate the culture and politics of it's inhabitants. He looked at the other 14 members, but he only caught Furuta Hitoshi's and Akira's names. He already knew Mari and Shino back then he was a trainee.

Itami stood in front of them and said unsure "Well then let's go I guess."

Shino eyed him "Can he even be a leader?" she muttered to herself, however Mori had heard that. 'Oh boy what did I got myself into. If Touka would know about that, she would probably yell at me again.' Mori thought.
