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

Ariez floating island military port. I asked the returning Phantom Anger, as well as all Shadow Fleet ships, to install defensive shield equipment.

The Great Imperial Army is on the front line with its own country and struggles to renovate the ship without exchanging supplies, but our fleet, which can return immediately to its home port at the portal gate, can also carry out its renovation work quickly.

The ship was renovated sequentially by Diamante and other artificial cores and shapeshifter workers. In addition to shielding equipment, the addition of ray machine guns will also be parallel.

Mr. Bell, who was watching this, looked at me with a reluctant face.

"You don't like eating so many shots."

"Oh, you don't like it at all."

Instead, we have to take this seriously. Just one shot, just one shot. You have to take a sweet look at this blow and avoid causing fatal mistakes.

"This is reflection."

That's what I'm going to take advantage of next.

As the damaged light aircraft carrier 'Bindicator' will be turned to repair, Phantom Anger will have it operate on three light aircraft carriers.

In the meantime, SS Intelligence contacted me.

Says one of the key figures in the Great Imperial Magic Army, Ma Dong Scien, showed up at the Western side military command. There are also reports that MMB-5 was secretly transported to the Western Army and also to the Eastern Army.

Dr. Ma Dong snuck up on SS Intelligence's intelligence network. But before the infiltrating shapeshifter operative, it was a glimpse!

I immediately ordered SS Intelligence to track down Dr. Ma Dong. Significant progress can be expected in elucidating the secret routes on which he operates and in discovering the base of the hidden Magic Army Special Development Corps. You don't get to miss this!

The concern is the presence of MMB-5 deployed on the front line. Where and how does Western General Shade intend to use this? It is likely that it will be used for the invasion of the Kingdom of Verilardo, as it was last year, and we must pay attention to that trend.

SS Intelligence will work hard, and this one will encourage weapon-making and strengthening the defense system.

In the meantime, the Marquis of Creniere came from the territory of Creniere, next door to the territory of Tokitumo.

Lord's Mansion in Noi Arvent. In that office, I received a visiting Marquis.

"Welcome to Noi Arvent, Marquis of Creniere"

"Mm-hmm. You look better than anything, Tokitomo Weather"

In the late forties, the marquis with the right width sat on the sofa for visitors after shaking hands with me.

"There's something remarkable about Noi Arvent's reconstruction. Not as much as Wang Du, but is it becoming the best city in the eastern realm?

"I'm afraid. Honestly, I didn't think it would make me or this big."

Noi Arvent, which is totally like a big city. I'm surprised myself because it's something that keeps changing in the gap that I've taken my eyes off a little bit.

People gather, buildings are being built, and exterior walls are being repeatedly expanded. The artificial core that manages the city, Garnett, supports it at his leisure, but tells Parzi, acting delegate, that Artur, the assistant, is very busy day after day.

"... is my son doing well?

"Artur, you work well for me."

I commend the son of the Marquis of Creniere, whom I keep.

"Because he's serious and smart. The experience of Krenière as acting lord of Fresser's territory is also alive. With experience like this, you'll be a good lord in the future."

"Under the Tokitomo climate, I want you to learn a lot. The kingdom changes dramatically. Don't let the course of time leave you alone."

Big change. The course of the times. The Marquis of Creniere is taking the lead, firmly looking to the future. That kind of thing, I have to learn, too.

"… where is this tea?

Marquis Creniere expressed interest in my tea.... Speaking of which, the Marquis' house loved tea. Artur, I think I heard that from you, and his sister, Mr. Eckleen, was a Tea Party.

"That's the brand Karan. of the inside of the elf."

"Elf's!

The Marquis' blue eyes lit up.

"I see, that's precious. I wonder if I can get some of this for a souvenir, Tokitomo Wen. Of course, let me buy it for instant money"

You Tea Party... I respond to his requests with a bitter smile.

Recent negotiations on the arms expansion of the elves led to the importation of goods from inside the elves. Elves that don't make big deals with humans in the first place, so what comes in from them is largely valuable. Many were expensive from rare value.

"Later, I was wondering if you could show me around the city if you had time, Tokitomo Wen. The town you built, even for me, I want to make a great reference."

"Okay."

If you have time. If so, we will have to get down to business early.

"Krenière, I came here today to..."

"Uhm. You know Tokitomo weather, but Novelcion's on the Imperial side"

We are talking about Eastern territorial defense. After the earlier Battle of the Unbancers, the Marquis of Creniere expanded its territory, but the corner of it, the former Trame Territory, is adjacent to the Novelcion Nation. As a result of putting reconstruction behind us, only deserted territory is rolling.

How dare you, I think it was made defenseless in front of a hostile neighbor. But the Marquis of Creniere must have been convinced that Novelcion would not attack.

The threat of the Great Empire. I knew the country was consolidating its northern defenses to minimize the power of the areas adjacent to the old Trame territory.

but that also changed the situation with Novelcion on the side of the Great Empire.

"If they attack us like this, there will be an army of Novelción pushing against my Krenière and your Tokitumo territory."

I nodded. To this end, it strengthens the defenses of each fort in the Territory and also prepares it for combat in the Eastern Territory.

"Defense of the Eastern Border,"

"I would call it the Eastern Territory because of the old Trame Territory, but I think it is inevitable that there will be a war here with Novelsión. I'd like you to put up a joint front when you invade Tokitomo and Novelsión."

I mean, I want my Willidis army to join the defense, too.

Out of sight, I was defenseless because I wanted to draw this battle power. I dared to make defense handy, is. I don't think the impenetrable Marquis of Creniere would fail to defend himself without any thought. The scars of the Unbancer battle are deep, and I guess this is what happened on account of everything.

Nevertheless, as far as I'm concerned, I have to say this.

"Of course it is. We will spare no effort to talk about the entire Eastern realm of the kingdom."

"It's quick and helpful"

Honestly, it's not human resources. It would be helpful if the battle could be completed in the eastern realm of Krenière without involving Tokitomo territory in the war.

In fact, if the eastern realm falls, the enemy could come this way. If you want to fight anyway, I want to do it on other land.

"So let's discuss exactly what we're going to do"

"Um, but before that, Tokitomo Weather. You have a detailed map of the eastern realm of Creniere, don't you? I'd like to buy that later, too, but for now, why don't you show it here?

Looking at the map, you'll want the one called Operation Conference. but you know very well that I have detailed maps of all parts of the kingdom. Well, it's better than being complained about. If you mean to buy it, let's also arrange it.

Marquis Creniere said I was making it ready for the Shapeshifter Maid.

"There are no people in the East Territories right now. For that matter, it is a land where dangerous beasts travel."

"Are you a warcraft?"

People disappear and other creatures become active. Was there a warcraft-prone land or something on the old Trame territory...?

"So I want to start with a massive Warcraft crusade that combines field research. Eventually people will enter and settlements will be formed, but we want to eliminate dangerous warcraft for pioneering purposes"

At last - Marquis Cleniere stared at me.

"Near the border between Tokitomo territory and the eastern territory, I would ask you to create a settlement that should also be called a supply base"
