The Holy Kingdom
Capital city
Royal Palace
Inside the white palace of Roble Holy Kingdom, behind it majesty and beauty, behind close door and inside an office fit for a prince sit a tall man with blue eyes and straight long blond hair who appeared to be in his late twenties or his early thirties, he currently working in some document but his mind is still thinking about the attack on E-rantel he heard, and confirmed, about.
This man name is Caspond Bessarez, the kind prince and older brother of Calca. Ever since he ceded the succession to his sister he been busy with assisting her and dealing with the merchant there been increase of bandit and request from the merchant guild to fortify the road, there still no response from the nobility about it aside from the usual bickering and the Sorcerer Kingdom is moving. He sigh before move to window behind his desk that overlook the entire city.
He stay there for some time before a knock snap him from his musing "enter" a servant come and inform him that his guest is already waiting for him, he thank him and preparing for the discussion he going to have with the raising noble, Lumia. Originally he wanted to find out her intention about the kingdom, it was rare that daughter of some exile noble come back with less than noble intention, he see firsthand on those kind of people.
But now with attack on Sorcerer Kingdom and clear moving threat of demihuman coming together under this 'demon lord' Jaldabaoth that attacked Re-Eztize capital inside it capital, it have been somewhat a necessary to ensure support from the nobility and merchant if anything to happen in near future. And considering Lumia have one of the most famous one, it become clear that he need her support.
Caspond frown, he may need to use some underhanded tactic to get her cooperate, and even though he dislike working with person with somewhat shabby background, he can't deny that she do have big influence on the merchant, especially Mirai. The rising star of a merchant that climb the rank with incredible speed, he don't know much about her or her origin but he know that she first appear on large town of Herkat alongside her caravan from her supplier she call 'forge'.
And with the Sorcerer kingdom moving from the attack of E-rantel, it was a matter of time before he call his vassal and start marching against whoever attack him. Caspond already see a pattern of some sort from his action on some international level, he will not have this attack go unpunished and worst case scenario for him is that he marching his army down south.
And as such he must prepare, the kingdom must prepare, for troubled time is ahead, he could see it.
He stop momentarily in front of door before open it, inside is simple room of a table with two chair with a window overlooking the castle proper. Sitting on one of the chair sit a woman with white hair, pale healthy skin and sky blue eyes, she wear a light blue dress with white accent and few pieces of silver jewelry that he could see.
She smile to him as he walk and sit in front of her.
"I believe we have not properly introduce with each other, greeting my name is Caspond Bessarez, the prince of Ruble Holy Kingdom"
"Greeting to you too my prince, my name is Lumia Aldetore, patron of Mirai"
After introducing each other, began the talking
"So my prince, what are your desire of me?"
"Nothing much, I just want to talked"
"Oh? About what? The other noble, your sister, state of the kingdom or-"
At this her smile turn sour for a moment but she cover it up quickly, Caspond will surely miss it if he not intently study her feature
"The attack up north?"
"Oh? You hear about it?"
"Word travel fast, especially about that kind of rumor, I admittedly surprise about that, who attack the sorcerer kingdom is either a fool or an opportunist"
"Indeed but what concern me is the fallout of this attack might crash into us"
At this she seem thinking for a moment before responding
"That is certainly a possibility, the king from what I hear will not let that kind of trespass go unpunished and if thing go down there he will want some answer and we will be in his range to do his thing"
He nod "That's right, the after effect of this attack will likely spread like wild fire to other nation like Re-Eztize or Bahamuth but it will likely spread to us too"
"That concerning"
"Yes"
Silent descend for a moment as either side silently contemplating the consequence of such thing
For Lumia however, the situation give so much opportunity for the fleets here. They still trying to establish significant present on the new world to counter Ainz influence and it seem she can get that thing sorted out. If I can manipulate thing to the right direction, and with some clever word I can possibly make them our vassal, without us even sacking a single city! And if we lucky and those grave dweller indeed go south we will be hero, not villain!
Heh… strange, usually we are the villain, oh well there first for everything Lumia know Grand Admiral, and most of other Admiral including her, didn't like working together with a kingdom what so ever but Lumia dint want to take the other more complicate route so she just going in with the most direct approach
"*sigh* well I can see what make you concern and I presume the queen is already know about this?"
"Yes"
"Alright my prince, I guess you calling me here is not just to discuss the turbulence time ahead right?"
"Correct, as you say turbulence time ahead and so to protect the kingdom we need to unite"
"So you need my help? I'm sorry my prince but I fail to see where I can be use of"
"Nonsense, everybody have their own uses, from farmer to noble everybody have it, and now the kingdom need all the help it can get"
"Hmm"
Caspond hope that Lumia could help him secure the nobility support, she maybe a newcomer and view with suspicion by the other noble but even they can't deny she have influence on smaller noble and even on one or two big family and not to mention her connection with Mirai. He still wary of her and her background but his choice is limited
"I agree with you my prince, just tell me what you want and it shall be done at best of my capability and I presume you want me to persuade the other to you?"
"Yes, but I like it that my name mention only on the passing word"
"Oh? How come"
"There few that still distrust me and my sister about the succession years ago and this could make them move in… worrying direction"
"Ah, forgive me my prince I do not know"
"Don't worry about it, when time come I deal with them myself"
"If so then, we still have long discussion ahead of us, I hope it okay with you?"
"No problem, I already prepare for this eventuality"
While Lumia and Caspond discus various topic and Mirai dealing with her own problem with the nobility. Up north, pass the great forest and down to the border kingdom of the near collapse dragon kingdom, another set of scheme from the fleets will come to light. And this time they will take a role they never thought they will take, role of a savior (not that Luther complain)
(9Liiiiiiiineeeeee break0)
Dragon kingdom
Capital city
"They hold up surprisingly well for kingdom on the brink of collapse"
"They did, the queen must be at least competent for it"
"Or just too insecure and decide to hide in form of children"
"That is in fact true"
In the plaza of the city two person found talking away at the base of fountain in the middle of plaza. They wore simple clothing of brown pant and dark green clothe and not much else, they also carry large brown bag on their back, if one took a look on them they easily pass as just two commoner talking with each other.
But the truth is far from it
These two are Mizuki and Edward, commodore and operator of the Deth Fleets, just lazing around in the middle of day. Waiting for time to enact their plan. They arrive to the city an hour ago alongside the refuge, get in easily due with cover story just like the rest of refugee.
"How the ship doing?" ask Mizuki
"All system green and ready for combat, the scout have mapped the beastmen city and the other three conquer cities for best placement of explosive"
"The army?"
"Marching, based on their speed they will arrive tomorrow from now"
"Good enough window for us then" Mizuki nod
They lapse into comfortable silence as all going to plan for once since Nazarick start being dick about it. Mizuki plan on this occasion is simple, parley with the queen, destroy the army after sufficient amount of time wrecking the last line of defense, then saboteur do their job alongside some wraith in the cities, and then watch the firework on the beastmen city.
Simple
Now they she only need to wait till night fall and she could talk to the queen, one Draudillon Oriculus. It was quite a shock when Lumia inform her trough massage about her having dragon blood in her veins, this cause her to change some of her plan to make sure nothing bad happen and if it happen, it shall be dealt accordingly.
Even diluted dragonkin poses potential power that could rival their dragonoid counterpart and she will NOT have that kind of enemy to the fleets.
Also she have confirmation from her source that a group of adventures name Blue Rose, the adamantine tier adventures group that answer the call to aid. Now all this usually not matter to her and the fleets as a whole but when you throw a vampire capable of fighting Entoma, one of Pleiades combat maid, now you have fleets attention. Even if the combat maid Pleiades is not so strong like the Guardian it still worth mentioning as they usual deploy as shock infantry during the war.
It was still unknown why such powerful vampire chose to go with humans and others, but it was only matter of time before they know it anyway so there that.
Edward look to the sky for a moment before saying "sir I suggest we found a place to rest, this heat becoming unbearable"
"Yeah you right"
And with that they began walking toward the city, in search for a place to rest until nightfall.
Royal Castle
"Thank you for answering our call"
"It's nothing your majesty, it's our duty to answer the call for help"
"Still thank you for coming here"
In the throne room of the royal castle sit a young girl in purple dress and purple hair to match and purple eyes with cute voice, standing beside her is a middle age man with graying brown hair and brown eyes and wearing white robe with green accent and green pants. The young girl is the queen of the dragon kingdom, Draudillon Oriculus and her prime minister.
Beyond the queen is stand several figure, one is deck in full armor and great sword at his back and his face is cover by the helmet he wearing, beside him is small figure wearing reddish robe and a uncanny mask giving it an overall weird appearance. Behind this figure stand two more person one is a muscular woman with shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes and wearing crimson heavy plate armor and silver tiara in her head, beside her is a girl with slender figure and dressed in light clothes and armor and wearing blue ribbon on her hair.
The iron clad man is Cerabrate, the leader of the only adamantine class adventure group in the kingdom, the crystal tear. The other three is member of another adamantine class adventure group, blue rose. Although missing two of its member due to their task at the Re-Eztize capital the three of they still go anyway.
They are Evileye, Gagaran and Tia.
"Not to worry too much my dear, maybe we could have this conversation somewhere private? I have a lot to discus with you"
"Refrain your tongue man or you found something important missing"
"Okay, okay no need to get that far"
In the back Gagaran mutter "pedo bastard" and the queen look uncomfortable
"How about you two? Interesting seeing something you like"
"No" "go away" "if you look at them once more I crush your spine"
"Okay, okay I go away right now" and with that the perverted knight gone it a flash. Leaving the rest behind.
"I still think getting rid of him is the best option for us, I don't know how long I can tolerate his present" the prime minister spat at that
"No, we need every help we can" she directed her eyes back to the blue rose and smile "still thank you very much to come here, I will see it to myself that you are rewarded appropriately"
"There no need for that your highness" Evileye replay
"If you say so" she seem thinking something for a moment "by the way where your leader, Lakyus? And isn't you have a twin Tia?"
"They still in Re-Eztize capital, protecting the princess, with the news of attack on sorcerer kingdom proven true it got the king quite a scare and hire them to be her temporary bodyguard" Gagaran said
"So it's true, the 'mighty' sorcerer kingdom get attacked by unknown third party, interesting" the prime minister mumble the last word "anyway you can stay in the city for today, the beastmen army arrive tomorrow if our scout is true"
"Once more thank you for answering our call for aid" and with that the three adventures exit the throne room leaving both of them alone, Draudillon collapse on her throne and massaging her head "this is so hard, why can't everything be simple"
"Because that how the world work"
"I know but still it very tiring"
"Well on the more pressing matter, with them here and the sunlight scripture team from Slane we could possibly hold them long enough for proper military aid"
"I hope so, I dearly hope so"
Later That Night
In the queen private chamber Draudillon having trouble to sleep, she already revert back to her original form, which is a mature curvaceous figure, very different than her previous child body. It was few of her abilities due to dragon blood that flow in her vein, it also gift her the power of wild magic, a form of magic native to the new world that fall to disparity due to tier magic the six great gods brought.
How long can we hold? Are we going to win tomorrow this kind of thought already circle her head for duration of the night, making her sleep difficult, worry circling her heart and fear cling into it, she try to calm it down to no result. Because of this she misses small presence that just enter her sleeping chamber
"My, my you truly are wonderful my queen"
Her eyes snap open and jump into defensive position, her mind race for possible answer as the voice laugh assassin? Kidnaper? Hostile demihuman? Whoever they are they manage to infiltrate my room when I'm still awake Draudillon already on edge through the day and this just push it.
"GUARD, INTRUDER"
"Save you're breathe your highness no one can hear us here"
"What did you do?!"
"Nothing, aside from placing several silence spell that is"
She glare at the direction of the voice "what do you want? I presume you not sneaking into royal chamber at night just to have little chat with me"
"On the contrary I do came here to talk with you, queen Draudillon Oriculus"
Her eyes widen in surprise nobody but the prime minister should know that "h-how you know?"
"We have our own way"
She shake her head and glare "it still not answer the question, what do you want?"
"To talk to you"
"About what?"
"Helping you" a figure emerge from the dark in front of her, the figure is clearly female with full lips, small nose and round eyes with brown hair and silver eyes. What catch her attention the most is how the eyes glow in the darken room and she could see two canine fang jutting from her upper lip when she smile "greeting your highness, I'm Mizuki, humble servant of the fleets will"
"W-what are you?"
She only smile "vampire"
Draudillon body went rigid and then start trembling, she know the story of vampire, powerful undead creature with hunger for blood. She even read the story of Landfall, the vampire that destroy an entire kingdom single handily before being killed by the thirteen heroes.
And now one of those creature standing in front of her, telling her she want to help calm down Draudillon, calm down you are queen of dragon kingdom, granddaughter of Brightness Dragon Lord, you have the power of wild magic on your side, calm down but her body betray her mind as her hand is shaking and sweat began to pour "*deep breath* y-you're saying that you w-want to help?"
"Yes"
"Why? Y-you certainly dint need anything from us, right?"
"I told you before, I just a humble servant of the fleets will, and the fleets want you and your kingdom to survive"
"W-what?"
"*sigh* I'm here to help you kill all those beastmen out there, reconquering your cities, and make sure they don't attempt something similar for a long time" her smile become a bit restrained at that, Mizuki already beginning to irritate and she must have good attitude to save her plan "beside you desperately need help"
There silence for a moment, Draudillon really didn't trust this vampire but her right, she need any help she can get to defeat the beastmen army, but are she ready to receive help from an undead of all thing? And what is this 'fleets' she serve and why it want her kingdom to survive.
*gulp* gods please protect me "I-if I accept, what happen next"
"Nothing free in this world so we like for a bit of payment, you see our leader have plan, big plan and we need something for it"
There we go, they do need something from me, but what and who are their leader "what do you want"
At this Mizuki only smile, revealing her fang "servitude"
"W-WHAT!? You want-"
Mizuki cut her "Let me explain, we want you to be our protectorate, what that mean? Well we protect you and we will get some money from your kingdom, not much really only 10 to 15% total income" she drew a paper scroll from her coat "all the necessary information is in this scroll and if you accept our offer then please signed it, we will help you at once"
"And if I refuse?"
"You don't"
Tension rise and thicket in instant as two being stare at each other, one want to save her nation but doesn't want to deal with undead, the other one interesting in which one the 'dragon' queen will chose either way she will serve the fleets, one way or the other muse Mizuki
"Give the scroll" and Mizuki smile as she handed the scroll and watch her read it, the scroll written and signed by the Grand Admiral herself and the contend depict the term and requirement as the benefits of serving the fleets. The term is that the kingdom will submit to the Grand Admiral authority and pay her tribute and will be protected from any threat, inside or out by the fleets' armada and will be generally left alone for most of the time, they still allowed to trade and interact with the outside world and can cover their 'contract', with the fleets if they wish so.
Draudillon read it for couple of minutes, her face turn into varying degree of emotion, making Mizuki more impatient come on signed it already we don't have all nigh here. After couple more minute Draudillon sigh, her shoulder drop as she think it more and more clearly, her kingdom need help and this is just too much to just throwaway and just like the vampire said I don't have a choice
"I need to discuss this with my prime minister and nobility, could you wait until tomorrow?"
"can't do, you signed it here or reject our offer here is your only choice, beside your prime minister will understand you choice here either way and for the nobility, well they don't exactly have any more power so you can kill or reshuffle them if you want"
With that her shoulder drop even further "*sigh* this will cause an uproar not just among the nobility but among the populace"
"I'm sure you will find a way to keep them satisfied, after all if they raise a rebellion we will crush them"
"P-please don't"
"Heh, suite yourself" at this Mizuki withdraw a black quill from her coat "do you have you choice? Your highness"
"I will regret this but I need all the help I can" mumble Draudillon as she grab the quill and, with very reluctant hand, signed the scroll. Immediately the scroll burst into green fire before dissipating quickly. Draudillon jumped when it happen and calm down after it, Mizuki smile just gone feral after the fire.
Mizuki retrieve the quill from her and take a ring from her coat once again "here take this, this symbolize your contract with the fleets and as long as you wear it no fleets monster or members will hurt you" Draudillon take the ring slowly before inspecting it, the ring made of solid gold and there words engrave on its side "if you don't want to wear it then it's okay, it's not mandatory or anything"
"I wear it" she almost shouting it, slowly she slip it into her index finger, the ring fit comfortably on her finger and the word flare for a moment before settling in. Draudillon could feel the magic of the ring, not powerful but still notable as an item, she notice the word engrave on it but can't understand the hell of it "what these symbol mean?"
Mizuki only smile as she slowly step back into the darkness "the death do not rest for its only purpose is to serve" her figure swallow by the dark and before Mizuki teleport back, she said one last thing to the her new comrade in the Deth Fleets "happy to be your friend, dragonkin Draudillon Oriculus"
And with that Mizuki teleported out, leaving Draudillon to think/regret her decision.
Fortress Ship Polymer
Edward standing in the middle of the command center of the ship, the room is circular with various blue magic circle and few translucent phantom standing in few larger circle with many more smaller circles floating around them either. Edward have few circles surround him and while he not too attuned with magic like the phantom or mage he is still operator, commander and captain of the fortress ship
A ping alerted him to one of the circle, he dragged it in front of him before the circle flash green and voice coming from it, it was Mizuki voice "she accept it, the operation is a go" and with that the circle flash back to blue. Edward already dragged another circle in front of him before pressing it, the circle flash red and then suddenly the entire room flash red as more and more magic circle flash red and soon all of the magic circles is red.
"Whelp" he crack his neck before putting both hand forward, two identical magic circles come to being and surround both his arm, the circles is far more complicated than the rest of it, having various rune and even smaller circle inside them. If the command room is the brain, then the circles is the spine "time to work"
And with that the signal is sent to multiple assassins and saboteurs team across the occupied territory, the signal is simple
Kill all beastmen
Black Death
Luther Office
Having done her various paper and duty, left the grand admiral with increasing bored mood. Even with the war in the horizon ("not if I have say in it!") she still could feel herself be bored, all that left is waiting. Her order on the dragon kingdom should save them from death and even thought she really, really dislike the idea of having god dammed vassal nothing she could do now.
How do I let her think to subjugate them when I mean to just save them… oh right lore she could not help but chuckle at the thought when something wrong, blame the lore. The lore that I, myself wrote "*Chuckle* how do I brought myself so low"
At first she thought her plan of saving the dragon kingdom will be easy, get in, kill the beastmen, and get out but somehow, someFUCKINGhow it turn into plan to overtake the dragon kingdom, it start with Mizuki, the commodore she chose, asking what her goal on this mission and from that point it spiral into theory worthy of conspiracy theorist hall of fame because how in all fuckity fuck that she think my plan is to take over them, yes I understand we need solid base, but we already have that on the holy kingdom and how oh how the Admirals get to my plan, I already secretive about it, and decide that my plan is to set up ANOTHER power base *groan* sometimes I really hate how perceptive they can be, and how easily misunderstanding spiral into this hot mess
Luther already having headache before because she bored and now her mind supplement this little thing. She slammed her head down on her desk, hard, but all that do only worsen her mind I think I prefer being bored please, rather than contemplating recent event
Then a scroll materialize in front of her, Luther raise her head to see it and widen her eyes "holy crap she actually agree to this!?" she immediately snatch it and open the scroll. Down on the bottom, there lies her signature and another one beside her "holy fuck, she bloody agree" the signature is simple yet elegant and she could read the names it depict, Draudillon Oriculus
Thousand though race on her mind and know half of those though is because of her lore, she never imagine in her wildest dream she going to be a boss of somebody, especially not to a monarch who govern a kingdom she order to save "well, I guess informing Listmen will be next action, I have no idea how to do this" she mumble the last one as she send it to Listmen, not before wrapping it in green ribbon.
With that done, she back to drop her head on her desk and moaning loudly about how unfair is the world and begging to the massager to hurry up and deliver momonga letter and scroll to her. She already red the report from Listmen and Crux, the kingdoms is beginning to real back from her accidental attack on SK and now the SK is already pulling the string to coerce more peoples under their thumb, Luther have no doubt that is Demiurge doing. She also hear the news on the new trade deal with the dwarfs that momonga manage to strike, she have no doubt her attack play role on that one and their movement seamed rush on several report she read, apparently her attack force them to act more earlier.
What with several demihuman kingdoms and tribes, like dwarf kingdom and lizard man tribe and various other smaller entity already under their thumb and with the region she classified as northern jungle, another jungle near a village named Carne, which momonga first appear apparently, under their territory, the southern jungle which the beastmen first originating is still mostly free of SK influence, but she heard disturbing report that before she appear apparently Demiurge operate on the area, no doubt planning something.
But with the Fleets rooting down anything Nazarick related near the holy kingdom with blazing hatred, it seam Nazarick completely cancel their plan on the south and bank all manpower on their plan up north "small sliver of silver on this mess up situation, no doubt Demiurge planning something terrible on this kingdom. Why, oh why must you created him like that Ulbert, and the lore you write to him *grumble*"
Luther mind is already full of Nazarick and Fleets but she have to make more room because another just burst into existence in front of her, this time she just open the scroll while her head still down and with great sigh, raise her head to see what on the scroll
…
…
"You gotta be kidding me" Luther said as she read the scroll "the prisoners try to escape, again, and beaten back, again *sigh* now I regret drinking their blood that day *grumble* at least the girl, Alice if I remember have passive skill [Mana Observation], how the hell do she have it"
Her prisoners is one of the mysteries she trying to solve, how the girl have the skill and why her brother doesn't, and is her eyes is the source of it, and it threw another wrench to her already tired mind
"Ugh, fuck this, let the morning me handle it" and with that she teleport out to her bedroom, but not before sending a note to Marty saying 'leave them alone for now, I'm going to handle them in the morning'. As soon as the bed come into sigh, she just collapse into it, and with another powerful sleep spell, she sleep like a log.
That the plan if not [Massage] ping her, she groan, usually she will ignore it but she know that only Admirals use [Massage] when something important must reach her ears fast
[You better have good reason to call me right now] she literally growl at it
[Apologize Grand Admiral, this is Unit A-B 132457 responsible for the Maintenance Corp of the Deth Fleets, physical section] Luther groan even more at that, she completely forgotten about the Maintenance Flotilla. In game they exist only to provide passive buff on the fleets and round up the fleets lore, but now that the lore become real that mean so too them. In lore they are the one that keep the fleets functioning at peak condition, maintaining the ships, repair and making sure the ships and many, many magical system and circuit from degrading, a sort of repair man for the fleets
They separate into two section, one of the more unique branch body of the fleets, the physical and the magical, from their name everyone could tell what role they play. And Unit A-B 132457, a mid-level automaton, is one of two leader of the Corp, it is in charge of the physical section of it
And now it was calling her [what do you want? And it better be good] her voice took chilling edge at that but her mind is just doesn't care enough for it
[We discover something problematic on the Forge ship magical connection]
[Which one?]
[All of them]
[… Fuck, what the problem]
[The cable connecting one Forge ship with another is degrading at worrying rate]
[How?! I designed the damned thing myself] and with that her mind kick back into gear as any semblance of tiredness wash away in alarm, Luther know that she do not designed it but Luther of lore did it, and it the flash moment of panic she revert to the memory lore (as she like to call it) over her own [what wrong with it?!] she instantly shot up right over her bed.
[We run some test with the magical section and we found out that there something interference with the magic we use to hold the system all together]
[What is it?]
[We don't know Grand Admiral, but we suspect it was the native magic of this world degrading our own magic circuit]
[That's problematic, anything else]
[For now we are trying to stabilize the cable and repair any damage we know]
[Good I want you to get Richard and Forge to come to my office, you and your counterpart included this is something serious]
[Yes Grand Admiral] with that the connection terminated. Luther sigh again, just when she thought she could get some shut eyes more problem show up, and this time she can't get away by assign someone else on the job. The Forge ship is the back bone of her production, if those thing get destructed then its game over for her
"*Growl* let fix the damm thing" and with that she teleported out to her office again.
Fortress ship Polymer
"How the operation go" ask Mizuki toward Edward, she currently inside the command center of the ship, standing beside Edward as he directing the operation.
"The city has been clear out and the building they use blow up, no civilian casualties, we are rounding the rest of the beastmen on the operation area, the saboteur already planted the bomb on their capital"
"So all that left is their army and pressing the bottom?"
He grunted in response, making Mizuki smile "leave the city to me, I have something in mind"
"And?"
"If this work, the queen loyalty will be assure, either by fear or what, oh and capture couple of beastmen alive, I have feeling the Grand Admiral going to enjoy her time with them"
"Doubtful"
"Eh, if not I got some contact with first fleets that might give me a good deal, you know they always hunger for more test subject"
"You mean torture subject?"
"Yeah that too" Mizuki got serious expression on her face "anything new about Nazarick? We operate on the border of our influence"
"So far nothing but dead trail or old rumor, Nazarick focus on their territory last I read from Listmen Bulletin Board and with the 7th fleet rooting down anything Nazarick on the southern jungle it mean we have safety as long we don't go further north pass the Dragon Kingdom border"
"Lucky for us"
"Indeed"
"By the way this just in, we got a team from Slane Theocracy in their capital, planning to help them in the coming battle"
"And?"
"Kill them, we can't have them know we here, yesterday I must activate the barrier system, they got diviner albeit a weak one"
"*chuckle* why can't we just use the sniper cannon to snipe them? Because you know how accurate this thing is"
"Because I don't want to overlord the system and because you still not pay me"
Mizuki chuckle at that, Edward could be really blunt at some times but he damm efficient in what he do, mainly commanding the fortress ship. The ship currently resting near the capital city of the beastmen, while the fortress ship is spectacular at combat and holding the line, now they are using it as FOB to this operation.
She can't wait to devastate the beastmen army, with her skill and abilities it will be difficult as she mainly a frontline fighter but with the item she got from calling some favors she got with the mad commodore on the first fleet it will be a breeze
Literally
Continue
If you wondering why the SK have already dealing with the dwarf it's because it happen before the Paladin of the Holy Kingdom arc and after the Ruler of Conspiracy arc in light novel, there only so much I can make before I need to touch the other arc on the light novel or anime episode, beside I will touch them one way or another because the story is damm well put together.
Also please review, critic is welcome, and spam will be ignore.
