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

The bounty story was settled. Let me check the amount again and use it as a bonus to my colleagues, future territorial operations and military funds.

"Uh, gin. He came because of me. If you don't have sudden business, why don't you go talk to him?

King Eman recommended booze and seats to me. Consultation, what...?

"Do you know Nort Harwen? North of the kingdom - exactly in the northwest."

I feel like I've heard it, and I don't think so. I couldn't think of anything, so I'll say no.

Jarzy said as he took his seat.

"It's a land facing the Norte Sea, one of the few facing the sea in our country. Speaking of Nort Harwen, it was like Count Verger's territory"

"Exactly"

The king nodded. Well, the Norte Sea - Mr. Bell opens his mouth to me with his neck hanging.

"Look, you went to Espio Volcano a long time ago. Near there."

Speaking of which, I went to collect demon stones. Well, the destination was a volcano, so I don't know about it with Nort Harwen. But, Mr. Bell, you remembered very well.

"What's wrong with that Nort Harwen?

"Hmm, as Jarzy said, Count Verger, the lord, has a rather critical feeling about the Great Empire. He's been talking to me."

According to the king's story, the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Verilardo faces the Norte Sea. By the way, to the west is the neighbouring kingdom of Riviere, which crosses the Yale River, the Great River, and borders are formed. The Yale River stretches to the southern side of the continent, the South Sea.

It's hard to tell by the mouth, so I'll order the Shapeshifter Maid to bring me a map. A map of Western countries, based on records obtained by reconnaissance flights, was spread out on the desk.

"The Great Empire supposedly will dominate our northwest facing the Norte Sea and the Kingdom of Riviere in order to contain this great river"

Map of Western countries - Looking around pointing to King Eman, I associate a map of Europe in my world. Just around Germany is the Norte Sea. The sea is devouring the continent in a semi-circular fashion.

By analogy, is the Kingdom of Veriraldo around Austria and the Kingdom of Riviere around Switzerland?... Well, there is no Italy to the south and there is no Mediterranean.

"If we take control of this coast and the entrance to the Great River, the Great Empire will gain the foothold to enter the southern seas without bypassing the western side of the continent where the Western countries are located."

The fact that we will not have to bypass the western side of the continent has important implications for the Great Empire of Digratore, which aims to dominate the continent. If you master the Yale River, it will also be easier to enter the southern side of the continent.

"The Yale River has long been used for trade to the southern part of the continent. But lately, there's been an increase in pirates in the Norte Sea, and it's like the Great Empire is behind it."

"They'll do it."

If I snorted, Mr. Bell agreed.

"Before a full-scale invasion, it's their usual means to make a proper scene."

"It's not just the pirates, it's the Shaeville kingdom to the north... now it's imperial territory, but they've also got information that a new Grand Empire military ship has been deployed to the port facing the Norte Sea"

The Great Imperial Navy - although they tend to be caught by the air fleet all the time, they have a powerful water fleet. Most importantly, at this level of the world,

By Shapeshifter Intelligence, gathering intelligence on the Great Imperial Army, I was naturally forced to look into the enemy navy.

Sailboats - if you say it in my world, it's the equivalent around carracks and galeon ships. Although the sea seems slightly more advanced than on land, there is currently a rapid modernisation, and new ships equipped with steam engines were in turn in service.

The same goes for cannons with gunpowder, but it's definitely a knowledgeable move from another world. At present, the strengthening of the navy has been curtailed because of the priority given to air vessels, but plans have been made to apply the technology of air vessels.

If this is successful, it will soak up ship evolution and cheat evolution to armoured ship level.... Horrible in a few years, not at all.

Jarzy roared.

"The Great Empire is planning an invasion of the Kingdom of Veriraldo from the Norte Sea," he said?

"No, the status quo comes from the old Shaville kingdom with a plan for the Army and Aircraft going south."

That's what my SS Intelligence is grasping at. The Great Empire was preparing for this during the winter months.

"But they're also about to attack Western countries. You can turn a relatively spare naval force here."

If the Great Invasion from the North of the Kingdom of Veriraldo fails in the 4th month, the Great Empire will not have the possibility to plan a landing operation from the sea either.

King Eman saw me.

"But so far, no outright invasion?

"Yes, but if there is movement in the Imperial Navy, there may be times when operations are quickly worked out and transferred to execution"

It is a great empire in which air ships take precedence. As a navy, there is also the possibility of screwing up plans and coming up against us for self-reinforcement and martial arts medals.

Depending on how the Navy works, the invasion can be quicker if they intend to take control of the Norte Sea. Well, SS Intelligence will let you know before then.

Blah, if a sailboat or an early armored ship is the opponent, send even one airship, such as an attack by the air fleet or an ambal, and it will make it unrivalled.

"So, was it Count Verger...? What does the Count want from his father-in-law?

Reinforcements for Kingdom defense? Or a request for assistance for countervailing measures?

"Strengthen our defenses for the Great Empire's invasion - specifically, if we can't deploy fighters and tanks to Nort Harwen."

Fighters or tanks!? I doubted my ears.

"Uh... Count Verger, did you request that?

"Hmm. Eastern disturbances - I hear rumors of Willidis army fighters and tanks spreading in the fight against the unbancers. The Marquis also inquired about several cases, but the Earl of Verger apparently has his mouth."

I knew the information was spreading... Well, the first VF-1 fighter, the VT-1 tank of the Kingdom of Verilardo, is due to be officially unveiled in Kingsville and Cainighin territory in the near future. Yes... it has not yet been announced to the public.

"For what I've never seen, you seem to be buying a lot of new weapons"

"I have a reputation for liking new things"

King Eman credited Count Verger with that.

"In his letter, he said that he would prepare the facilities for tanks and fighters here, so he hoped to deploy them as soon as possible if he could get permission."

……

"What's up, Jin?

Mr. Bell peeks into my face. No, I felt something strange.... uh, 'I'm ready to prepare a facility for tanks and fighters here'?

"Count Verger has seen the real thing of tanks and fighters...?

At least, if you're not more familiar with it than you heard about it in the rumors, what would the word come out about preparing the facility? In this world where there are people who say tanks are steel warcraft.

Besides, if you don't understand what kind of weapon, there's no way you're going to request deployment. If fighters were passing on at such a level as what flies in the air, or tanks run on the ground loaded with artillery weapons, who can imagine then repelling a ship on the sea?

There are ways to use it, such as loading bombs on fighters and bombing them, intercepting enemies trying to land tanks in line on the coast. But that should be the knowledge of the rest of the world after modern times, not the human thought of this world.

... Assuming that he had reached that idea independently, Count Verger would be a genius.

Or maybe the Count himself or there are other worlds around him.
