"Well, if that's the case, good is quick. Let's get moving. Kyle, you gather people. Of course, there are soldiers who make up the lead army, but we need to have the people to rule the territory, and then, yes, the people who will eventually live there."

"Okay. But may I ask you a favor, Mr. Ars, if you'd like to recruit from Vulcania?

"Oh, if Kyle wants to speak up and follow us, take him. It's okay."

"Yes, thank you, brother Ars."

"That's fine. So, Leon's okay, right? Whether it's in Fontana or Kyle's call to gather people."

"Yeah, I don't mind. May I speak to Mr. Galloway?

"Yeah, you can do whatever you want with Kai. Good luck, Kai."

"Thank you, Garold."

Kyle is the main leader in the territorial acquisition war.

Of course, I am worried about whether it is really okay.

After all, Kyle built a house called House Reed, but he's always been there for me.

Many of the Reed's family names were not specifically organized to form the Order of Ministers.

But Kyle used a lot of people in Barca and Fontana throughout his work.

As a result, the network itself is quite wide.

If Kyle speaks up and those people disappear at once, we don't know what will happen to our territory.

But we'll have to decide how prepared we are.

I told you to take as much as you want so that you can stand up.

Well, we'll figure it out.

I've grown talent so far, and I don't think this is going to work.

I also got permission from the King, Garold, and I can't pull it back anymore.

"Um, what's next? Talk to your part-time brother and form a Vulcan army. And then I asked you to make a deal with the Kingdom of Resolute, Leon."

"I see. But there's an important problem, Ars. If we're going to take the area around the sacred capital, we'd like to do it as soon as possible."

"I guess. After all, there are alliances of great nobility, including the Linzats, that may attack next year."

"Exactly. When are you going to move? It's already autumn this year and winter is approaching. Will it move with next year's snow melt?

"No, it'll be too late. We're moving now."

"Eh, now? I understand that Ars has been moving his army in the winter before, but it's impossible, right? You don't even have a Reed Army yet.

"Oh, no, Leon. It's not the army that's moving right now. It's me. I'll get ready first."

"... I see. I see. Then we must also hasten to negotiate with the Kingdom of Resolute. Before we get in touch with them, the Reed family flag might be flying south."

"I appreciate your quick understanding. Okay, I'll go."

The site of the sacred capital and the land near it are quite far from the kingdom of Fontana.

I've invaded the Percival labyrinth before.

It took days for Valkyrie's feet to run through it.

But if the existing army had been moving on foot, it would have taken longer.

It was a distance that was not strange even after February or March had passed just by traveling.

Further afield, the sacred capital used to travel at Valkyrie's speed for about 10 days when it returned quickly after defeating Najah.

If the leader had organized an army immediately this time, it would have taken more time to prepare, and it would have taken more time to move.

It is already autumn and it will soon be winter.

That's why Leon probably didn't think I'd move right now.

But now I have more means of transportation.

Today, Valkyrie's feet are no longer the fastest way to get around, and there is an airborne vehicle called a magic airship that is faster than that.

Vehicles travel at speeds close to 10000m altitude without obstacles.

Immediately after the discussion, I boarded the magic airship and headed south.

Fly far above other aristocratic territories to reach the site of the sacred capital.

Then, I waited for the next night while I waited in the air.

Watching as it gets dark and no longer worried to be seen by anyone, get down to the land of the holy city transformed into salt and start working.

"There's nobody around. All right, let's do it, Kaiser Valkyrie. Don't ask for magic supplies."

"Cui"

In the darkness of the night, I was in the Holy City with Kaiser Valkyrie.

Kaiser Valkyrie, the god of ice and knowledge, crouches down and puts a horn on my head.

A corner of Kaiser Valkyrie that contains a high density of magic transformed by Synthesis with the Labyrinth nucleus.

Magic flows to me from that corner.

And while I was using that magic, I kept pouring it into the ruins of the Holy City.

It spreads the magic that has been kneaded into the ground and continues to penetrate deeper into the ground.

How long have I been doing that?

It used to be called the Holy City, but my magic fills the land of death that was turned into salt and the salt flowed in rain and so on.

When I felt that magic was fully filled, I consumed magic to change the soil on the ground.

The soil invaded by salt turns into a floating stone.

As the surrounding land turned into a floating stone, the site of the sacred capital was separated from the chain of the earth and gradually floated into the sky.

Success.

Previously, when we launched Vulcania into the sky, we had to beforehand familiarize the land with magic from a labyrinth nucleus called Atmosphere.

But I wasn't ready for it this time.

However, the magic familiarity in the area was very good.

Probably thanks to Kaiser Valkyrie.

Rather, it may be related to the labyrinth nucleus [synthesized] by Kaiser Valkyrie.

After all, the labyrinth nucleus was originally under the sacred capital, and it was already here, at least a few thousand years before Aisha became an idol.

Bingo predicted that the magic of Kaiser Valkyrie, which originally consisted of the labyrinth nucleus, might be familiar with the area.

So I'm ready for House Reed to gain territory.

Launch the sacred capital site into the sky, just like the heavenly Vulcania, and set up a transfer magic formation there.

It was only a few days after the discussion that we succeeded in securing an outpost that no one could attack.
