Silence reigned in the fortress built in Hiyama, west of Dorga. About 500 soldiers were packed in here, and all of them were looking out at the sea in a daze. Ahead of their gazes, huge ships, like whales, filled the sea.
They could see it clearly from the top of the mountain where Linos had set up camp.
"I didn't expect them to have built such a huge ship. Is he planning to go to the Grand Zero Inn and beco a pirate king?
It was Linos who was muttering sothing like that. Kunogen, who was standing nearby, glanced at him upon hearing his voice, but then turned his gaze back to the sea with a wry smile on his face, as if he did not understand the aning of his words.
"I don't get it. ......"
It was Matkal who muttered to no one in particular. She moved her head slowly from side to side, carefully observing the fleet of ships floating on the sea.
"Why are they deploying their fleet so close to that fort? There are twenty ...... forty ships. A few ships will be enough to hold the fort. Why don't they head for Dorga?
"Oh, Mato. That's what I told him to do."
"Master Linos?"
Matocalu looked doubtful, but Linos nodded slowly with a satisfied smile on his face.
The first ti I saw Matkal, I was surprised to see him.
Around the sa ti, the Warlovian Imperial Army also received reports of the appearance of a huge fleet of ships.
"Which army is it?
I don't know.
The one who opens his mouth with a deep crease between his eyebrows is the deputy commander-in-chief, Shee Wa. She is flanked by her sister, Gigi, who has a troubled expression on her face.
"This morning, a fleet of ships suddenly appeared in the sea of Hiyama. The situation since then is unknown.
"Are there any national emblems on the sails of the ships?"
There is no such thing.
First, find out who this fleet is.
We are doing our best to find out.
Sheeva stared in the direction of the fort, a look of abhorrence on her face.
"I don't think Burial can organize a fleet of that many ships. ....... Reinforcents......? If so, they would have contacted us first. ......"
Mumbling to herself, Shee Wa's brain is racing. But even with her brilliant mind, she was unable to identify the fleet of ships that appeared offshore.
She was not the only one who could not identify the fleet that had appeared offshore.
"......kuaaaah."
A yawn escapes . It was early this morning when I fell asleep. I've been working a little too hard.
I tried to get Matkal to say "I love you," but he didn't say it. In all the years we have been married, I have never heard her say "I love you" or "I love you" to . The only word I have heard her say is "I'm in love with you" twice. So last night, as a punishnt, I asked her to say "I love you" to .
But it was quite difficult. She shook her head when I asked her to say it. She said, "I'm embarrassed. Such a statent ignited my manly instincts. In the end, it took until dawn to finally get her to say it.
It was a stupid thing to do. I should have created a better mood for her to whisper her love to . When Rico hears what happened last night, he is going to get a lot of complaints.
...... Matocal was adorable, by the way. Unlike usual, his eyes were closed, his eyebrows wiggled, and he mumbled, "I'm in love ...... with you, ......"...he was so cute.
Thinking of this, I turn my eyes to Matocal in front of . She is calm. She must have had less than three hours of sleep. ....... However, she does not seem to be in the slightest.
"Excuse ."
A beautiful, clear voice brings back to reality. I looked over and saw a woman standing there. It's Vieille. She is dressed in a sky-blue, easy-to-move combat uniform. I rember seeing this sowhere: .......
It has been a long ti, King Agartha. At your command, we, the 40,000 n of the New Crimiana Army, are here.
"Vieille, I'm so glad you ca. I had no idea that you had built so many of those huge ships. You're a good man, aren't you?
"Ho-ho-ho. I am honored by your complints. I did it all for the soldiers' sake.
"Oh, what do you an?"
"Even just a cramped sea trip ....... At least give them a big room to rest. That's what I thought."
So they built a ship that big. I'll give him that."
Vieille smiles at my words and puts on a good-humored expression on her face. She told that she had co to this camp without using the Posehay transfer. She had landed on the beach from the sea in a small boat and passed close to the fortress to get here. It seems that the blue clothes she is wearing is a magic item that hides her presence and magic power. Even I, though I was a little paranoid, could not feel her presence until she appeared in front of . She must be wearing quite an item. As one would expect from the leader of the world's largest cult.
"I have seen the fortress along the way and found it to be quite solid. How will you proceed with the battle? If you don't mind, please let know.
"Yes. We're going to hit that fort tomorrow.
"What? Is the assault ......?"
Yes.
What can we do for you? Attack from the sea ......?"
"Yes. Early tomorrow morning, I want you to bring the ship to the very edge of that fort. We'll follow up with instructions.
Awe, sir.
"By the way, Vieille. How are you going to get back to your ship?"
I'll ride ho on horseback.
"Did you co alone ......?"
Yes. I'm here alone.
You're still a daredevil, you know that?
"It's easier to be alone and less conspicuous."
She giggles when she says that. I sigh loudly and open my mouth.
"Well, I'll take you back to your ship. If you get attacked on the way back, you'll be in a lot of trouble.
"Well, can you give a lift?"
Vieille's face lights up in a way I have never seen before.
"What's your boat?"
"The boat with the white roof, sir."
"Okay."
I call a soldier and give him instructions. He looks blank for a mont, but then he suddenly becos awe-struck and leaves the place.
"Perhaps you would like to send ho in that Pegasus? It would be my greatest pleasure to fly alone with the King of Agartha."
Vieille looks happy. At that mont, the soldier returns, kneels down in front of , and offers a stone the size of my fist.
"Thank you, thank you. ...... Sadakichi."
Soon a faerie dragon appears. At the sa ti, my hand glows. I hand the stone to Sadakichi, and he disappears shortly thereafter. Vieille looks on with a blank expression.
"Here."
I took a small stone out of my pocket and handed it to her.
"Where is this ......?"
"It's a transfer warding stone. If we can channel the magic through it, we can get back to the ship."
"...... thank you, sir."
Vieille had an indescribable expression on her face, and I continued to speak.
"By the way, Vieille. Are those clothes of yours sold sowhere?"
"No. I had it specially made for you.
"If that's the case, you'd better change it right away."
"......? What do you an?"
"That's Nauka, right? Fans over there are very demanding. It would be better to change the design before you are exposed to too much criticism. Besides, the rights are complicated, aren't they?"
"...... We are sorry. I don't understand what you an."
"...... Well, that's a good point."
I give a dry laugh. At that mont, a soldier cos to and announces that I have a visitor. It was three commanders of the Warlovian Imperial Army. .......
