Let's Manage The Tower

Marco felt the surrounding atmosphere and, on the contrary, was able to calm down.

At least the present state is not good for the Kingdom of Columns.

Perfectly surrounding crew are caught in the blast.

If I, the Admiral, react in the same way as others around me, it will have an impact on future negotiations.

I thought it was a miracle that I was able to get back on my feet right away, even if I was bluffing.

Marco, who was able to think of such a thing in an instant and not express himself in his face, can be said to be a person who has even risen to the rank of Admiral of a country of boulders.

For some reason, Marco tried to speak up to Colorado, who was showing the same surprise expression, but unfortunately he was stopped by the other party's murmuring.

"No, no. This is more than you can imagine.

When Marco heard the murmur, he stopped moving unexpectedly.

I couldn't stop raising my doubts.

"... what?

Looking at Marco's doubts, Colorado shrugged his shoulders.

"I have permission, so I'm going to tell you, but they can only use it within a certain range, centered on the continent."

"... are you sure you want to tell me that?

Colorado sighed deeply at Marco, who overheard him.

"If you think about it normally, it won't work. It's not normal in many ways."

It goes without saying where Colorado is referring to "there".

"They say it's the power of the tower, whether you're stuck at the border or this attack."

"I see. So it can only be used within a certain range?

Normally, Marco tells Colorado what he thinks is important, and honestly listens to Marco, who is supposed to be an enemy somehow.

Marco remembered later, and he twisted his neck to see why he was listening honestly at this time.

"Well, I don't know if my current location is the limit."

"Do you really want me to tell you about the area?

"I would say to the boulder... but I really don't know. When it comes to towers, we also have places that are untouchable."

Marco inadvertently turned to Colorado, who breathed out as if he had given up.

Although the status quo is tentative, it is an exchange between opponents.

Naturally, I couldn't continue with the atmosphere as before, but I returned to the atmosphere as before.

Even so, Colorado left the flagship with two words and three words.

Of course, Colorado was instructed not to push us here right now.

Even if I catch up with you, I can't see the opposite, so I gave you time to properly contact my country to deal with it.

Of course, Marco understands the area.

And then we finished our first conversation with Colorado.

The next meeting was confirmed on the island, and Colorado returned to the merchant vessel he had boarded.

Looking at him, Marco sighed inside.

I felt depressed about how I conveyed what had just happened to my country.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

Marco's report, naturally (?) It was unacceptable at first.

That can't be happening. They kicked me in the face.

Nevertheless, it was difficult to deny it because everyone saw the same scene, even though they were not collectively hypnotized by the boulders.

There was also an opinion that the abandoned ship had been set up from the beginning, but Marco denied it in a story he heard from Colorado.

It was significant that Marco reported those stories as true at the risk of his job.

Reports suggest that if we continue to stay longer, the fleet itself will disappear.

Of course, an attack on a deserted ship without any defense would be different from a fleet of magicians with defensive magic.

That said, such a thing is no consolation.

I had the wizards analyze it to some extent before reporting it, but even if I could, it was judged impossible to protect the ship itself because it was full of people to protect it.

If I wanted to add more, I was surprised to hear in a chat with Colorado at a later meeting that the attack was contained.

I didn't think it was a joke and asked, but apparently it was true.

On the contrary, I asked the same question myself, but I was told that the same answer came back.

There is no way to make sure it is true, but if it is, the Central Continent will undoubtedly become inviolable to other continental states in the future.

There is no way to prevent such an attack.

To put aside his feelings, Marco communicated all of that information to his country without hiding it.

Of course, Marco's report was conveyed through the Wizard, so he simply conveyed the facts that he had learned so far.

Still, the impact was incredible.

"Do you want me to snake you?"

The men who were there reacted to the words of King Column Balm.

Following Marko's report, an emergency meeting has been held with the parties involved.

"Did you trust Admiral Marco's report?

That was said by those who did not believe in the presence of the assault weapon as reported.

In a sense, there are realists, but in this case it will only be troublesome.

All they see is profits from the western city of the Central Continent.

I do not believe in weapons that would easily destroy the fleet.

"What do you believe without believing his report?

And he kept silent in the king's words.

King Balm is not a fool to be danced by words alone.

The opinions from the scene were well listened to.

Rather, they tend to rely heavily on on-site opinions at these times.

Of course, the people around them also understand.

"Admiral Marko is a type of Admiral who can properly calculate damages and profits. I suppose it's true that he reports a lot of damage if he keeps going."

Military officials nodded at King Balm's report.

They know that Marco is not the type to make false reports to protect herself.

It is a type that clearly states that it can do what it can and cannot do.

In fact, it was a well-known story in the army that I was demoted several times.

"So you think the West Side will give up?

That's what one of the civilians said.

"I won't say that. Had it been an old country, it would have collapsed if the profits from that city had disappeared, but fortunately, wouldn't it be a different country now?

Everyone nodded to the king's words.

"So you accept Amamiya's opinion on the tower side?

"Is it unacceptable as a request?

Already, through Marco and Colorado, the position of the Amamiya tower is clear.

That is, a reciprocal trading relationship.

It was just one thing I wanted to do as a regular trading partner without having a national background.

Until now, we have made the most of our power as a nation and traded without killing, but that hand is no longer usable.

There will be no profit, but there will be no profit left.

It's a waste of time to let go.

I can't even see it if I move to a neighboring country as a trading partner.

Nothing more than the Kingdom of Column is a maritime nation in the Western Continent.

If that's all, you'd better get rid of the Amamiya Tower.

King Balm was judging that way.

As it stands, we are still in the process of being consulted.

The official announcement will come eventually. Rather, it's for that reason.

I don't know how it would come, but I was King Balm, who thought he would accept the story at the beginning of the formal negotiations.
