Summary
In the Red Dragon City, Castor gets word that the entire city except for the knights in the air force have evacuated. He gets word of the attack on Georg Carmine's forces and is upset that Souma may not see him at the bigger threat. He also asks for his general, Tolman, to stay out of the fighting.

Carla announces that Souma's army has arrived on the Battleship Albert that's on treads. Souma comes on the Gemstone broadcast saying that this attack is for a siege because of its cannons. Castor is impressed but can't change sides. He sends Carla out with the wyvern knights to stop the battleship. Carla flies out and after a hard-fought battle, takes down the battleship. However, there isn't a single person on board and only leftover armor is cluttering around. Carla quickly realizes that Souma used the battleship as a distraction as Souma meets Castor Vargas face-to-face for the first time.
