Let's Manage The Tower

I didn't do anything with Marco until two days after the captain told me to.

I tried to find out if I couldn't do more than one, but the result was a disaster.

No matter what I did, I couldn't cross the line.

Wizards capable of long-range communication have reported the situation to their home countries.

There are not many, but not all, magicians who can communicate remotely.

The larger the country, the more it has.

Because it is so important, it can be seen from the dispatch of the Tiger Son's Wizard that we also attach importance to this matter.

The instructions from my country, through the wizard, continued as before.

After all, it was Marco who made the same judgment as Marco, and Marco's chest was calm about it.

Two days after the message was sent.

Two more merchant ships have arrived from the Central Continent.

One of them was an old ship near abandonment.

Barely visible, the two ships docked for some time, but eventually abandoned the ship near the abandoned ship and only the other approached Marco's fleet.

Unlike the previous merchant vessel, we now know that we are clearly targeting Marco's fleet.

I didn't think it would do anything to the boulder because it was not an armed vessel and there was only one, but it was still natural to be vigilant.

Above all, I don't know what it means to leave the other ship behind.

As we did so, we approached a certain distance, but we were communicating from that position.

You know that if they get too close, it's dangerous.

Ship-to-ship communication is a common thing in the world so that accidents do not occur.

That's how I communicated with you.

The contents were that the captain and a few others would like to meet.

Marco made an immediate decision and sent an acknowledgement.

The opposing merchant vessel came up with a canoe and approached Marco's flagship.

I couldn't tell if it was to keep us alert and not to know the power of the fight, or if we dared to keep us alert to a small number of people.

Anyway, the crew on the approaching canoe was immediately accommodated on the flagship.

All five of them were on the canoe.

One of them was clearly a civilian for this negotiation rather than a sailor.

I'm sure that civilian has been dealing with Marco.

"Nice to meet you. I came from the administrative office of the Amamiya Tower. My name is Colorado."

"I am Marco, Admiral of the Third Fleet of the Kingdom of Column."

We greeted each other and decided to hear the requirements immediately.

"So, what are the requirements this time?

Marco embraced Colorado lightly because he did not expect the Central Continental side to open the battlefield.

In the first place, there are no merchant ships or armed ships on the Central Continent.

In the central continent, where there is no state, there is little point in possessing such a thing.

Even if something like a battle happens, Marco thinks it's because he's ashore.

Of course, this idea was true not only for Marco, but also for the analysis of the column kingdom.

"My requirements are threefold. One is that you want me to forgive you for contacting me. The second thing is, don't move this fleet for a while after I get in touch. Thirdly, I want you to pay attention to that abandoned ship."

"Is that all?

"That's right. That's all."

"What are our benefits from doing so?

He said with a little intimidation that he was not willing to respond to the enemy's demands.

The intimidated Colorado shouted lightly without changing his expression.

"This proud fleet won't sink."

The words were echoed by the men around him.

"You think we can sink into just two merchant ships?

"Ha ha ha. No way. That scrap ship is genuine, just a scrap ship. There is no one on board now. The other ship is just a merchant ship, and the only combatants are monster adventurers."

Of course, monsters emerge in the sea.

It's the same as hiring an escort for a merchant caravan to take on such anti-monster personnel.

It didn't seem to Marco that Colorado was lying.

It is understandable that the ship in Colorado was just a merchant ship.

It doesn't look like a combatant is on board at all.

Of course, it is common to hide it in the warehouse, so I will not be alarmed.

"... where are we going to get in touch?

"Of course Amamiya Tower?

Colorado told me where else there was.

"What does it say?

"To tell them you're ready."

Ready?

"It's that abandoned ship. When we get to where we want to be, we're supposed to lower people."

I don't know what that means.

Why did you bring that ship here?

I guess it makes sense because I brought it with me when we were there.

"What are you going to do with that abandoned ship?

"Well, I don't know much about it either. They just use the power of the tower to sink it in one shot. After seeing that, he wants us to be prepared for a little chat."

"... the power of the tower?

"Sounds like it. As I said before, I don't know the details."

Colorado talks indifferently about whether he knows the surrounding situation or not.

So far, the pace is completely in Colorado.

"Ah, by the way, there's no point in doing something to me right now. After a certain amount of time, I'm supposed to decide what happened to me and do it without saying it."

Marco whispered in his heart.

It seems that the countermeasures around the boulder are solid.

I thought it was an amateur civilian such as a fight, but the boulder wasn't that sweet.

"... okay. I'll try to get in touch with you."

After hearing Marco's reply, Colorado immediately began to make contact on the spot.

Of course, Marco heard the conversation, but there was nothing unnatural about it.

I was simply ready, so I just contacted you anytime.

The opponent also acknowledged it and the communication was cut off immediately.

Marco saw the exchange and remembered how he was communicating.

Existing magic equipment should have been disposable and used only in places like ships.

Alternatively, the Wizard has no choice but to communicate directly.

But Marco doesn't seem to be using magic, and his tools don't look disposable.

Marco tried to ask questions about the tool, but before that Colorado pointed to the abandoned ship.

"It's time to take a good look. If your men's lives are at stake."

As soon as Colorado said so, it happened.

The first ones I noticed were the wizards of the fighters.

I felt more powerful than I had ever felt before, from the abandoned ship.

There was a huge explosion on the abandoned ship before we could tell it.

There was a scrap ship quite far away, but the effects were reaching the fleet.

A little, but not all, of the hot air that appears to have been generated at the time of the explosion has arrived.

The crew of the fleet who saw the explosion could not speak for a while.

Marco looked at it the same way, but as the leader of the fleet, he desperately stayed out of sight.

Everyone in the fleet would have thought the same at this time.

If that explosion were directed at this ship,

Everyone imagined the same and came to the same conclusion.

Without being able to resist anything, I wonder if it will just sink.
