Aileck noticed sothing was amiss in the air as soon as he entered the hall.
The group of people who usually opposed him now gazed at him with a desire akin to a single man suddenly spotting a nearly unclothed stunning beauty.
Shuddering, Aileck felt a chill throughout his body, disgusted by his own thoughts.
He lowered his head and hurriedly walked forward, saying, "King, I have fulfilled my mission. The Giants have agreed to fight alongside us against Naraku."
Upon hearing this, Vistalia was shocked; he hadn't expected Aileck to actually succeed in persuading the Giants.
Originally, when Aileck volunteered to lobby the Giants, Vistalia had harbored no hope, thinking Aileck was not skilled in combat and it was better for him to leave.
If they failed, Aileck might survive in the Giant Rock Territory and carry the history of the Vistalia Kingdom far into the future.
But Aileck actually succeeded?!
Vistalia doubted his own ears and asked, "Aileck, you said the Giants agreed to fight alongside ?"
"Yes."
Aileck proudly stroked his white beard, his gaze sweeping over the Military Minister, faintly expressing, how did you belittle back then?
The Military Minister understood Aileck's thoughts but didn't care, eagerly asking, "Aileck, how did you convince the Giants to help?"
"Thanks to visitors from a Different World."
Aileck replied, turning to Vistalia and gravely stating, "King, during my visit to the Giant Rock Territory, I t a hostile army from the Different World also opposing Naraku.
They even revealed to that the giant monsters Naraku commands are none other than the once rulers who nearly dominated the Eastern Continent: the Dread Emperor."
"Absurd! Aileck, have you lost your mind!"
The Military Minister was furious, though perhaps not as angry as he seed, understanding the king's mindset.
He had risen to this rank by anticipating the king's thoughts.
And his words went unchallenged by Vistalia.
With a smile, Aileck said, "King, the guests from the Different World are just outside, and they've even brought hot weapons that allow ordinary soldiers to fight against monsters!
The Military Minister doesn't believe ? Go see for yourself."
Seeing Aileck's confident declarations, the expressions of the ministers present and Vistalia grew somber; was he not kidding?
"Then let et these guests from the Different World you're talking about."
...
Outside the grand hall, Aozawa stood with an interpreter.
Phoenix Academy Maggie and others were absent due to ti constraints; every bit of manpower had to be used wisely.
After a hasty eting, the Joint Chiefs of Staff changed their initial plans.
They decided the people of the Different World would go first.
The monsters were overwhelming, and regardless of newcors or veterans, anyone who could hold a machine gun and sweep forward wouldn't have to worry about armor-piercing bullets or high-explosive rounds missing the monsters.
Cannon fire was directed at targets to inflict wide-ranging damage.
Then, from the rear, they used drones and missiles, or operated fighter jets and bombers, to saturate the monsters below with intense fire.
Reducing casualties and injuries to their own people to a minimum was paramount.
The bloodshed and sacrifices would be left to the people of the Different World.
Therefore, Phoenix Academy Maggie and the others went to the remaining five countries to sell arms.
The base was working overti to transport a large quantity of firearms, rocket launchers, and cannons via the Giants to other nations.
They believed those countries facing threats from Naraku and the Dread Emperor wouldn't miss any chance to strengthen their combat capabilities with weapons.
"Aozawa, the king has agreed to et you and your companions. Rember not to be disrespectful when you see the king."
"Yes."
Aozawa carelessly replied.
This attitude left Aileck a bit helpless; after all, the difference between Treasure Users and Angel Envoys was not significant.
Not to ntion, Aozawa's Will-o'-the-wisp was a potent Noble Phantasm.
Aozawa entered the hall.
The decor was lavish, with gold as the the, accented with intricate patterns on the walls.
The ceiling boasted a vividly colored mural.
Depicting Vistalia's most glorious battle.
The nobles and ministers on both sides had distinctly different attire.
Nobles preferred grandeur.
Ministers emphasized dignified authority.
Vistalia wore a blend of both, his towering stature made him as mighty as a lion king in his pri.
Contrary to Aozawa's expectations, he had imagined that a king who had long enjoyed peace would have a sowhat less than perfect physique.
"King, this is the Treasure User from the Different World, Aozawa."
Aileck introduced, explaining, "From a nation without a king; please forgive his rudeness."
"A nation without a king?"
The Military Minister raised an eyebrow in surprise, "It's truly astounding; how do they maintain national operations without a monarch's leadership?"
Another noble countered, "Now is not the ti to explore that; the focus should be on his hot weapons."
Aileck spoke up, "Next, Aozawa will demonstrate the power of hot weapons with his Noble Phantasm, please remain calm."
The Military Minister frowned, suspecting that Aileck was being manipulated by people from the Different World, trying to harm the king, "King!"
Vistalia paused in thought, glanced at Aileck, who had clear and pure eyes: "Aileck, do you rember our agreent?"
"King, I certainly rember the Bullhorn Pact."
Aileck bowed.
That was from when he first t King Vistaria as a child.
Back then, the king had yet to awaken as an Angel Envoy and was rely a young boy tending cattle on behalf of nobles.
