Elizalina

 * Back on the ground, Elizalina looked on from the hospital room, alongside Worst and Accel, witnessing Fiamma's Star of Bethlehem fly towards them with Archangel Gabriel close. (Vol. 21 ch. 7 part 3)

Privateers

 * Digurv's Village Has Been Attacked By Privateers A Fair Few Times Before. They were able to use cars to flee every time until now though, leaving behind enough loot to satisfy the bandits, but since the privateers have better equipment courtesy of the Russian army and the village has no fuel but the small amount to run the generator they can't do that this time. (20 ch. 2 part 9)
 * Hamazura And Digurv Were Hiding In The Clinic. Of course they were, they didn't go out all guns blazing from the start. They were hiding in the basement of the clinic, hoping the privateers would just loot the place and move on, but they instead drove their armored vehicle through the wall, unaware the building has a basement, and collapsed through the floor. Hereafter Hamazura and Digurv scatter and decide to try and take out the anti-aircraft vehicle patrolling. (20 ch. 3 pt 1)
 * In the anime Hamazura is incredibly lucky to bounce that landmine off the vehicle and right under its tracks (III Episode 20), while in the novel Digurv stated they could be used as grenades and explode on impact. So what happened is that it just blew up once it hit the gun turret. The Blast Didn't Disable The Vehicle, nope, it was fine. It did cause the nearby building to collapse however, and the rubble that caused did block both its movements and the gun turret. (20 ch 3 pt 4)
 * The privateer infantry is Stuck in a hole. They were all in the armored vehicle that crashed into the clinic basement, so the villagers just kept them under guard with their AKs and that was that. Not much the infantry could do at that point.(20 ch 3 pt 9)
 * they got a bit of a breather before the second wave of enemies, alerted because the first wave didn't contact back, showed up. Hamazura and the villagers used this time to disarm all the privateers and lock them up. The villagers did want to execute them but relented when Hamazura, the one who took out the anti-aircraft vehicle, asked them not to. It's only after all the current enemies were dealt with that one of the villagers come rushing in, yelling about three dots being visible on the radar. Oh yeah, there were three helicopters as well.(20 ch 3 pt 9)
 * Originally Acqua didn't show up for quite a while yet and so the villagers had to figure out a way to deal with the incoming three helicopters. At first they planned to flee into the forest (as their houses to hide in are now destroyed) and spread out so they could be mistaken for animals moving in the brush. But Hamazura figures out the true reason: so that when one group inevitably gets shot a fewer amount of people die. They're splitting up to minimise casualties.(20 ch 3 pt 9)
 * Hamazura can't accept this however and decides to fight back. Luckily our privateers were nice enough to... "donate" an anti-aircraft gun, and so they set to work removing the rubble from it. They need at least three people to operate it though: one driver, one gunner, and one spotter. Hamazura is a given, Digurv volunteers, and just when they're about to look for a third person, the Russian soldier walks up to them, having defrosted himself.(20 ch 3 pt 9) We then cut to our three brave warriors in the anti-aircraft vehicle encountering the helicopters. Turns out they specialise in hit-and-run tactics, and so will perform flying passes overhead at high speeds firing at them. (20 ch 4 pt 3)
 * When the first helicopter fires a missile at them Hamazura is quick to hide behind tree cover, blocking the shot. In the opening created by this shot the trio quickly fires back, but misses the helicopter on purpose, instead hitting one behind it preparing for a second attack.
 * The other two helicopters get back into formation and chase the vehicle fleeing in the woods. Unfortunately they were visible on the rader though and so one helicopter fires his gatling gun at it, causing the target to explode. Luckily its target turns out to be an empty car instead of Hamazura and the gang. Predicting this scenario the villagers had hid vehicles in the woods to confuse the radar, and with another opening created our trio shoots down another helicopter.(20 ch 4 pt 3)
 * But their luck finally ran out. Due to the previous gatling gun fire nearly all trees were cut down and they had no cover nor distraction to protect them from the final helicopter. But just as they were about to get hit the final helicopter suddenly sprouts a sword.(20 ch 4 pt 7)

Lambskin parchment

 * due to Sellick G. Kirnov's small camera, Accelerator realizes that the designated point to turn in the parchments turns out to be a Russian military base near the border of the Elizalina Alliance, but before Accelerator and Misaka Worst could plan their next move, the ground all around them begins to shake. (vol 21 ch. 6 part 2)
 * Accelerator thinks back to the connection between Aiwass and the stolen parchments, and realizes that the flying fortress was controlling the movements of Gabriel. Accelerator sees this as the answer; that the flying fortress has the technology to break the connection between Last Order, and Aiwass. (Vol. 21 ch. 7 part 3)
 * The parchments emit a hateful aura as the Accel group notices that the two angels Gabriel and Kazakiri in the air nosedive after them (vol 21 ch. 8 part 5)
 * Accelerator asks Kazakiri if the parchments are what she was here for (vol. 21 ch.8 part 7)
 * Archangel Gabriel had failed to retrieve the parchments that Accelerator had stolen. However, due to Gabriel's high perception, the archangel was able to sense the information on the parchments as Fiamma was able to acquire the necessary information he needed for his plan. That information being the symbols of the other three God's Right Seat archangels outside Michael which he already had deep knowledge of due to being the fourth member of God's Right Seat. (Vol. 21 ch. 8 part 9)
 * Accelerator will obtain the parameters to alter Index's song, the parchments he is carrying. Accelerator explains to Misaka Worst that if he was to piece together what he learned from Academy City with the techniques that exist outside the city's knowledge on the parchments, he could find the correct parameters (vol 22 ch 9 part 3). Misaka Worst takes a look at the parchments for herself, and wonders how beings of the science side will manage to create parameters from the magic symbols on the papers. Accelerator explains was able to bypass the song's encoding by using simple math to break the pieces into readable bits of information, but is unable to solve the puzzle to reform said information because there's a missing piece. He admits that doing this with only his math calculations is not enough, and has to rely on whatever is on the parchments to create the required parameters. (Vol. 22 ch. 11 part 1)

World War III

 * Sherry Cromwell wanting to make both the magic and science side think they were going into war in order to isolate themselves from each other (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 06 Chapter 4 Part 5)
 * Russia was already firing missiles from all sorts of angles, but they were all being accurately shot down. Most were being intercepted outside the atmosphere, but some were being blown away by a mysterious beam 5 seconds after launching. (20 ch. 3 pt 3)
 * Elizalina bombings: “It seems the Russian army is trying to build up a base near the border,” said Lessar who must have gathered information from the nearby residents beforehand. “The basic configuration they’re using includes vehicles with a missile launcher and a howitzer on them. It looks like they’re planning on tossing explosives into the Elizalina Alliance borders from a distance of 30 or 40 kilometers. But that isn’t the true purpose behind it. If they truly wanted to bomb them, they would just have the air force use some ground-attack aircraft or bombers. That way, it wouldn’t really matter how far away they were. They could turn the entire country into a sea of flames all at once. …They’re trying to trick people with the immediate specs. There is no real need to build this base.” (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 20Chapter 2 Part 6)/ The Russian army was going to use this war to start bombings and a serious invasion into the Elizalina Alliance which they’ve wanted for some time, right? (vol 21 ch. 6 part 2)
 * Spying in Elizalina: Sellick G. Kirnov. The Russian army was going to use this war to start bombings and a serious invasion into the Elizalina Alliance which they’ve wanted for some time, right? Normally, they would withdraw the spies before the bombings. The spies who were scheduled to withdraw were hurriedly ordered to remain behind a few hours ago. And then additional spies were sent to join them here. Mission: To photograph the insides of the Elizalina Alliance military facilities. He had a small camera to do it with So any secret documents could be taken out of the facilities and then to a designated point before the bombings. Apparently, someone on the other side of a monitor was going to give him more specific instructions.” (vol 21 ch. 6 part 2)
 * Kremlin Report (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 20 War Report 1)
 * Opasnosti/Nu-AD 1967 (Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 21 ch. 7 Between the Lines 5)
 * why Academy City has been fighting this war pacifically, at least on the surface: this way they can pretend to be merely protecting the Russian populace from their own government trying to inflict harm upon them. In fact Russia using the Kremlin Report, or nearly using it, is exactly what Academy City wants: it makes for amazing PR.
 * the EU war front pressing in towards Moscow from Eastern Europe.(vol 21 ch. 7 part 7)
 * The talk shows were just going over serious news about most countries accepting Academy City even though its belligerent interactions had been one of the things that led to World War III. This was because Academy City had paid out large amounts of money to pay for reconstruction after the war. (NT1 ch. 3 Part 5)
 * The situation is unstable enough due to World War III. A lot of countries and regions are dissatisfied with the lack of financial support for the restoration work Academy City is leading. (NT3 ch. 3 Part 8)
 * the TV was left on news about the end of World War III. It was something about the weapons not needed now that the war was over being transported to Districts 2 and 23. (NT1 ch. 3 Part 7)
 * the recovery and return of the parts of churches and cathedrals from across the world that had been used to construct the Star of Bethlehem (NT2 Epilogue)
 * the giant golden rings and bones that appeared at the end of World War III were being disposed of in the ocean near Hawaii/the EU is planning to dispose of their golden rings and bones via the Atlantic Ocean, but they do not have enough sources of funds to cover it (NT3 Prologue)
 * “As the main battlefield of World War III, Russia is in the process of being restored by Academy City’s technology and America’s funds.” (NT3 Part 24)
 * “There was a rush to build as many bases as possible in order to deal with World War III. The war ended much sooner than anyone expected, but money given to a project can’t be taken back…or rather, won’t be given up. A lot of meaningless construction is still going on.” (NT3 ch. 3 Part 2)
 * the EU? They’re having economic troubles of their own and they were left ruined by that war without being able to profit. (NT3 ch. 5 Part 14)
 * My country was torn apart by World War III. And yet there were a few countries and areas that benefitted from that war. The primary examples are Academy City and the United States. On top of that, they are remaking my country as they see fit by controlling the flow of money being sent in the name of war restorations. Winter is coming. They have requisitioned the natural gas pipelines, claiming it is so they can repair them, but they are delaying that work for the sake of clearly unnecessary construction. They know full well that heating is a lifeline there in the winter, but they are having people swear their loyalty.” (NT3 ch. 5 Part 4)
 * “The technology of the cooperative institutions that made this declaration is not up to the level of Academy City, but they were loaned a great number of leading edge unmanned weapons during World War III which are still in use after the war for the sake of keeping the peace. If these weapons are not returned, it is possible a large scale military conflict will break out with Academy City made weapons on both sides.” (NT 3 Epilogue Part 4)
 * Baggage City had been forcibly taken over by the military during World War III, because it was expected to function well as a central point along the railroad network, so it would transport materiel to the front. However, before the urban buildings could be destroyed and the military facilities could be constructed, the war had quickly ended, leaving the base in a state of half-completion. Normally, the city would have been returned to its original residents at that point, but that was not to be. It was said to be due to military interests, but a lot was unknown about the process by which the military ended up selling Baggage City to the Anti-Academy City Science Guardians. (NT4 Sub.04)
 * I could probably buy up the entire EU now that it has declined from the back-to-back conflicts of British Halloween, World War Three, and the Magic God Siege in Denmark. (NT20 ch. 1 part 4)
