## Chronology

### Great Race-Demon War Arc

At the beginning of the Battle of Divine Forest, Malastras looked down on the Divine Forest from on top of a small hill jotting from above the plain. He could see the black dots in the sky far off to the east and heard the sound of insects fluttering their wings which grew louder by the second. He ordered unfurled its black wings and flew off.

Division Commander Matsushita Takao saw a black, winged creature through a pair of binoculars from a Kurogane Type 95 scout car with shrine elf Calel, who confirmed Malastras as an enemy and then emanated a bright red light from a flare gun into the dim, cloudy sky. Matsushita then pulled out a flare gun, pointed it to the sky, and pulled the trigger. The Zero fighters spotted the demons and fired them with a 20mm autocannon shell, killing them.

After the Red Ogre had withdrawn from the attack, Calel, who was observing the battle from afar with a pair of binoculars given to him by Matsushita, was at a loss for words. He witnessed the Demon Army, which had been causing so much damage to their forces, being forced back by the Imperial Japanese tanks. The divine flying ships (Zero fighters) burn the earth away, the force of iron land dragons (tanks), and the advancing soldiers of the emissaries drove away the magical beasts. The power wielded by the Emissaries of the Sun God was real. However, while it might have been a surprising, near-unbelievable experience for Calel, the emissaries of the Sun God weren’t as exhilarated as he was.

Matsushita asked him about other creatures that were as potent as the Red Ogre. Calel surveyed the battlefield through the binoculars and explained to him that Malastras was the next most dangerous with his strong magical attacks including his hellfire of darkness. Hearing Calel’s explanation, Matsushita and the others came to the same conclusion. They may have come to that conclusion since they were the ones that had unilaterally defeated the Red Ogre with their tanks, thought Calel. As an elf, the primary representatives of this world, Calel sighed in frustration at their lack of power in comparison to the emissaries.

After the Demon Army’s numbers dwindled, the Red Ogre and Malastras escaped from the battle. The Imperial Army advanced steadily to chase and encircle the evaporating Demon Army. Since the emissaries didn’t suffer a single casualty, Calel held a slight expectation that the emissaries might be able to completely rid of the Demon Army’s Rodenius Dispatch Force on the Divine Forest

Later, Calel participated with the twenty high-ranking personnel from the Alliance of the Races and the Emissaries of the Sun God in the high-level meeting at the sanctuary inside the Divine Forest. He listened to them discussing lots their plan but did not speak. Right after Vice Admiral Kasai Ryuuken and General Matsushita Takao discussed their plan for invading the southeastern Philades Continent, the formation of their forces decided promptly to split into two that would each take the eastern and western routes.
