Heavy Object

Three Legged Mountain Climbing is Life and Death / The Artillery Battle in the Iguazu Mountains I

Qwenthur and Havia's unit is sent to intercept forces from the Mass Driver Conglomerate in the Iguazu region of South America. Meanwhile, Milinda receives an invitation for a "mock battle" against the Legitimacy Kingdom's newest Object, the Bright Hopper, under the implicit understanding that she deliberately lose against it. After Qwenthur and Havia land in Iguazu, they find no evidence of any Object. At the command center, Froylatia is contacted by Halreed, a high ranking noble and the pilot of the Bright Hopper, who requests that Froylatia allow him to defeat the enemy Object. In response, Froylatia orders Qwenthur and Havia to find and destroy the enemy Object before the Bright Hopper's arrival. Judging from their conversation, Havia theorizes that Froylatia and Halreed have some sort of personal connection to each other.
