The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Two incidents occurred that day in the Great Empire's own country, in the industrial city of Dhur.

Oh, my God, it was an early morning event with a thick fog.

The first case involved an escape disturbance in a workers' camp near the factory. The deserters who snuck into the armor production plant robbed the armor 'Karig', 'Ridalla II' and 'Doridor' before delivery. These were all destroyed after the repressive actions of the same city guard.

In the second case, one type II artillery tank in basic training was missing near Dool, traveling in thick fog. Subsequent searches uncovered the same vehicle, which was dispersed in explosions, and three crew members died. The wreckage will be recovered by the City Guard and sent to the factory to investigate the cause.

A completely different incident that happened the same day.

But behind this, no one on the side of the Great Empire noticed that there was work by the Willidis Army SS Intelligence.

I was in one of the warehouses on the premises of the Dool Weapons Manufacturing Plant group.

Wearing military uniforms, military hats of the Great Empire, you should look like an officer of the Great Imperial Army at first glance. It is a uniform close to aristocratic clothing after the industrial revolution. Uniforms also seem to be progressing compared to other countries in this world.... Well, from me, it's too retrotic.

"Lord Commander Garsta. This is the harvest."

"is, Master Jin"

"... call me Captain Su Asarli here, Lord Commander Garsta"

The officer of the Great Empire stretched his spine.

"... Are you sure, Captain?

"Good to see you, Commander."

As soon as possible, class differences reversed the language.

Lieutenant Colonel Garsta, Commander of the Dool Industrial City Garrison Unit, is a shapeshifter. With a replacement by Operation Parasite, the real Garsta is not already in the world.

"Transfer of three Aramur planes, one type II tank, best wishes"

"Ha, we have received it!

After a serious salute, I took another look at today's harvest.

A power suit made by the Great Empire - this is a substitute that was to have been robbed and destroyed in this morning's escape uproar.

Mass produced Aramur "Karig," Knight Aramur "Ridalla II" for Commander, and "Doridor" for rear support mage type Aramur. They line up here intact. They're all one head bigger than Willidis' power suit.

And type II artillery tank, the main tank of the Great Empire, an infinite orbital combat vehicle that converted a 57mm wildfire into a main gun. This is the one that went missing on the way home from the exercise.

Both were transported here, in a guide by SS intelligence and parasite operatives, while disguising the wreckage and deceiving the surrounding eyes.

I'll be staying longer, so I'll expand the portal and make my way to Willidis. It should be noted that all around the warehouse are SS agents. I'm on guard to keep outsiders out of here.

Even at this moment, if the enemy finds out I'm here... I am a little nervous because it is only a hassle. I know the shapeshifters are doing a perfect job, but anything unexpected happens.

I made sure I opened a portal big enough for tanks and armor to pass by, and when I nodded, Alamour and tanks piloted by SS intelligence went into the blue magic circle in turn.

The big Aramur walking around is different even from me, who is used to watching the power suit walk.

"Captain Asarly, do you want to visit the factory?

Lieutenant Colonel Garsta asked me.

"No, that'll be later. Because someone wants to see what we have transferred quickly."

"Right. That's right, there are tank and Aramur parts, but there are non-standard parts that have been inspected.... Well, if you assemble it, it'll be for a few cars"

"... thank you, Commander"

Make it look like a bad part and get a spare part.

Those non-standard parts on the floating plates also disappear into the portal. In time, I feel like I'm watching for longer, even though it's only a few minutes of events.

Finally, after checking all the transports, I saluted the Colonel again and crept through the portal. Next up, the secret base of Second Willidis.

It is the corner of the underground hangar pioneered and built with the power of Aguamarina and Deasi and Dungeon Core.

There's a bunch of sferas and SS mechanics there. And Gaea the Elf, Nork the Dwarf and other groups of engineers were waiting.

Welcome home, Lord.

Beginning with Sphera's greeting, Gaea, a magical armorer, just made a power suit out of the Great Empire

I look closer and closer.

Nork, the arms maker, also looked up at Aramur. During that time, he saw a Type II artillery tank and began to inspect his tracks around his legs.

After I disarm the portal, I walk over to Nork and do my gaze as well.

"... Unlike Willidis' magic generation, it's handmade. Here and here… Even the same tracks subtly develop the maker's habit, and you can see that it's different"

It's refreshing for me. If you let me handle the metal, it won't be suitable for Dwarves.

"Can you make it?

"I have a sample. Absolutely."

Nork slapped his chest forcefully. And then, when I leave it to Dwarf, Gaea is... obsessed with armor, so I'll let him like it.

Rendezvous with Spherer, and I'll leave the hangar behind.

"I also got spare parts. When you're done analyzing it, let's actually move it and test it."

"What else do you get? Aircraft and battle pods."

"Battle pods will not be as difficult as the more opportunities they create. Problem is, it's an airship."

Acquisition of Greater Imperial Weapons in Operations Steel. Stealing is not easy when you are also a warship that requires dozens to more than a hundred people lightly to operate.

"Target them all over the overhaul at the dock, or raid them where they are on a single-ship voyage to dominate and rob them in the White Soldier War..."

Raids during single-ship voyages are grounded and boarded, the crew is controlled, and the hurdles are quite high. Depending on the circumstances, the ship can be damaged or self-destructed and unavailable. I would consider a repressive operation to avoid that...... This would be better controlled by dogs for when there are few people...... Hmm.

Let's talk to Dr. Liana about this. That reminds me of another assignment I'm making while I'm traveling to the Great Empire.

Speaking of which, where is the long-range reconnaissance aircraft now?

Expansion of the scope of activities of SS Intelligence. Mainly on the eastern side - it is an operative infiltration operation into the Union. Poinix, a large general-purpose reconnaissance aircraft, transports operatives and airborne them down.

Also at the same time, a Dragon Eye Reconnaissance Flight is flying to create the latest map near the United States.

"According to the latest regular report, it appears to have broken into the former Cookapente country"

"Cookapente......"

To the name I haven't heard in a long time, my thoughts flew to heroic times. Fellows we fought together. Those who have fallen, I don't know what happened after I left, but how much do you survive?

"Lord?

"Once upon a time, I fought for the liberation of Cookapente."

Of the nine countries that make up the Union, one of them, the Kingdom of Cookapente, was under the control of the Great Empire, more than before I joined the war as a hero.

In the kingdom of Ouramgoritha, where I am at the heart of the Union, the warriors from that Cookapente have known me since before I raised my name as an adventurer. They were fighting to regain their usurped homeland, arguably the ones I had the deepest relationship with when I was active in the Union.

After being betrayed by the Union, it's me who cut the edge, but I'm still worried about the Cookapentes.

Information purchased from merchants says that already the Union has four countries under control by the Great Empire.

Cookapente, Provia, Trace, Calimatria - correction, I was also concerned about the Kingdom of Provia next door to Cookapente. Because I had a shallow relationship with that princess over there.

However, official information alleges that he was imprisoned and executed during the fall of the King's capital. It was a relationship we used with each other, but it hurt in the back of my chest because we had some emotions.

"... I hate the Union, but a lot of people personally liked it"

I was whining by accident. Speaking of which I am concerned, so is the Elizabeth Lady of the Kingdom of Ouramgoritha.

But at the same time, it raises the abomination. There's nothing wrong with Ellie herself, but it gets bitter as soon as she remembers her father, the Grand Marquis of Cremayu.

The heavy town of the Union that betrayed me and tried to eliminate me, one of them was him.
