"Guys, are you hurt?

"It's okay."

"Mm-hmm. Fine."

Ashley, who was watching the rear guard, gave a bright grin and Sheila also replied, turning her shoulders gently.

"I'm fine, too"

And, Grace smiles. Rosemary, who was watching Mallane, also looked at this one and nodded. Illumhilt, Serafina and Pietro are fine too. Hmm. No injuries to everyone, either.

Even though there was still sea water, it's a favorable field and condition here, so on land it's like complete or something?

Grace and Ignis, Durahan and Pietro's divers are quickly starting to split up and line up the families of the king of the sea rolling there at the dock.

Some people seem to be conscious, but the will of war seems to be lost. In the first place, though not sweet enough to leave it in a state where it can be fought.

"Go."

Launch a magically-filled valor over the sky. Once we make sure everyone's not hurt, the next step is to double-check the surrounding situation. We have to make sure there are no separate teams.

The troops came next because the scout, the Tsubako, did not return. Using the time between the detection of the anomaly and the arrival of the reconnaissance team here from the Sea Capital as a guide, this one will also be in the form of an attack over there. I mean, is there somewhat of a speed battle coming from here?

First of all, we'll need to get in touch with everyone on the comms while we pack the highbras and rendezvous with everyone. As it is, they will attack the Sea Capital without doing their next move.

I'll have to defrost the water gate once I can make sure the perimeter is safe. Ah...... Restoration of the floors and walls at the dock.

Whatever it is, it is the end of the line when you are stuck in the back. The non-combatants are on land...... which means they are planning to have the Duke's territory evacuated and are preparing for various things even in Ianos. Let's start the operation while leaving the eye of surveillance by the Spirit of Water in the waters where Rovisa was attacked.

"I heard you were okay."

The Duke returns to the dock after being contacted.

"Yes, they packed it."

Some guys had a heavy degree of injury there, but they use some healing magic, or a minimum allowance to the extent that they don't die, and then they consolidate it with dirt magic instead of gips and at the same time seal their abilities.

Since supplies from Term Wills arrive during the sealing procedure, it is possible to attach a bracelet that acts as a curse precisely.

"Well... let's keep them in jail. I wonder if I'll be able to treat you later."

The Duke informs the soldiers to that effect. It is packed so it can be loaded and transported to the luggage. Soldiers unload their families from the dock.

"Right. After the King of the Sea falls, in some cases, you may be allowed to liberate yourself."

It depends on the guys around here. Compliance with Queen Eldraine and compliance with the law of Grantios would be the minimum condition. The spell can incorporate contract magic, so it can be conditioned in a variety of ways.

Besides...... if you listen in detail to the old stories that are passed down to Grantios, it is likely that there will be a part where the presence of the king is reinforcing the people, so if the king falls, he will not be able to exert as much power as he does now.

"Dear Theodore, the thawing around the Watergate is over"

Ashley says. Ice to water can also be changed by water magic. It's not that much trouble if you can concentrate on your work.

"Mm-hmm. Then I guess I'll fix what I broke"

"Hmm. I don't think so."

And the Duke said.

"No body," you say?

"No, I thought the trail of battle would be completely clean... Well, that was bullshit."

Hmmm...... Don't feel like a duke. So, do you want to leave a few joints when restoring it? The hassle doesn't change much, and sometimes it makes you structurally weak.

The Duke was unexpectedly pleased when the strength of the structure was restored in such directions as securing, while leaving some traces of the battle on the floors, exterior walls, etc. at the dock.

Well, there's nothing particularly bad or bad about the Duke's tense, so that's good... and other work goes on.

Have non-combatants, their guardians, etc. evacuated to the Duke's home base. Take the Sirius back and forth and the transport is complete.

I've made a roster in advance, and I've been accompanied by several half-fish soldiers.

And - we boarded the Sirius, too, and headed back to Ianos. Then it was loaded with supplies and checked, and it was followed by meticulous work, so to this day.

We're done loading and inspecting supplies.

"We've completed personnel boarding and call-ups."

Old Siegmund and Elliot come to the bridge to report. They will march with the Cavaliers and Soldiers of Ianos on board the watermen and the Seyrains towards the capital of the sea.

"Thank you"

And thank you both. This task has just come to a halt, and Grand Duke Devonis has spoken to me.

"I'm sorry, Lord Theodore. Nice to meet you."

With the Duke's territory at every percentage, Grand Duke Devonis eventually boarded the Sirius, so he calmed down.

The fact that the Grand Duke and the Duke are aligned to cooperate with the Queen also leads to the stability of sea routes near the Duke's territory, which makes a better impression.

"No. If you've noticed, I'd be happy to point it out"

"Okay. Let's try to help."

Grand Duke Devonis nods quietly.

"I will escort Grand Duke Devonis and Duke Driscoll."

Prince Hellfreet puts his hand on his chest and gives him a compliment.

"Best wishes. Neither do we intend to pass the enemy to the bridge."

"Hmm. How dependable."

That's what the Grand Duke said and broke up with him. Well, I have to live up to my trust.

"Lord Theodore. We're ready for this one, too. I'd like to see Lord Theodore on deck, if I may."

Queen Eldraine is coming to the bridge.

"Okay."

Nod and accompany Queen Eldraine.

Out on deck...... there were Grantios generals aligned.

On the streets of Ianos, neatly lined with troops, they look up to Queen Eldraine.

Queen Eldraine was hailed by the generals when she showed herself. As the Queen responds to it with her hands wide open, her voice grows louder and louder.

Queen Eldraine lowers her hand so that her voice can calm down. The generals also became quiet in response to the move. Anticipating the time, Queen Eldraine sounds dignified.

"My compatriots! Brave warriors! Proud sea spears! Until today, you put up well!

"Whoa, whoa!

The generals raise their spears high and raise their voices.

"The enemy is Waldom and his family! You're a miserable son of a bitch to call a king of the sea! As ghostly as the past is, if it is in the inheritance, its power will never be an insult! But we can't follow this! For we must confront the national calamity, betting on the mercy of our Mother who left us this abundance of sea, on the gratitude of our fathers who have mercied and raised us, and on the pride of the people of the sea! Because we must restore peace to this hand for the smile of our children and grandchildren tomorrow!

Raising a golden scepter, Queen Eldraine points in the direction of Grantios.

"They chased the capital and came female to female in Ianos because of this time of day! From now on, the concubines will attack Grantios to restore the peace of the capital and the sea to this hand again! You have nothing to fear! We're not the only ones! There are brave men on earth with noble intentions in their hearts with us! We have to live up to this warm friendship! Proud will be the spear that pierces the enemy's scales and will surely triumph over our hands!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

During the Ianos, a roaring voice echoes. The generals raised their voices as they raised their spears overhead many times.

"Victory to Her Majesty Queen Eldraine!

"Victory!

"Glory to Grantios!

"Glory that!

Queen Eldraine nods to Eagle Deep as she receives her cheer. Then we see the time and head back to the ship. I followed the deck in the way I followed it.

"I'm sorry. If you had a magician, you would have raised the morale of the generals."

Queen Eldraine said on her return to the ship.

"No. Above all, if it helps."

Answering that, Queen Eldraine narrowed her eyes and nodded.

Whatever...... finally marching on Grantios. Continue north at the speed of the generals accompanying the Sirius. Camping and such will be done along the way, but before Waldom and the others show their next move, they will be able to take the form of an attack from here to near Grantios.
