Gardo Castle, eastern Krul region of the Kingdom of Riviers. King Passé, your line has arrived at the stronghold of the kingdom's forces.

I sent His Majesty the King and returned to the Kingdom of Verilardo after a face-to-face meeting with the local lord and commander. I have the task of communicating the will of King Passé to King Eman. It will be later on about the formal military alliance, but that will be someone other than me.

King Passé asked the Willidis army to stay in preparation for the raid of the Great Empire's airship. Actually, I can't help it because I have no hands or feet to attack from the sky, but I didn't think it would be a good idea for me to retain my power until a military alliance was signed.

So if you report me approaching the airship, then not the kingdom of Verilardo, but the Air Corps of the Marquis of Tokitumo rush as an acquaintance, in the form of.

That is why I will lend you one magic communications aircraft, the royal family, and at the same time place the assault Yangtze cruiser 'Pegasus' near the airspace of the Kingdom of Riviere.

Well, early on home, Deacy complained.

"If you mean to go alone, don't you think I should take you too?

"... I thought if I took you, the Dungeon Core, you might get pryed into by the other side."

Simply because, when I walked with him, I would give an explanation to King Passé and the knights, that was the trouble. It's true that if they're interested over there, they'll be in trouble.

While I was away, a fleet led by Early and Lassia ran through imperial territory like a typhoon. They blew up the Great Empire's magic absorption plant and its construction site.

I hear reports directly from Shadow Fleet, Phantom Anger and the two men who led both fleets. The operation was successful, and all known magic plants were transformed into ashes.

"I lost about ten aircraft on board."

Early brought a color of worry to that hissy eye.

"The enemy also normally deployed a magic weapon with a long range there. Were you wary of our raid? … it may be spreading as enemy air defenses by now."

"In addition to that, we'll be deploying a guided weapon called an explosive spear."

I heard SS Intelligence put the weapon in the Imperial Air Carrier Air Corps as the main weapon at an earlier meeting.

It was still the only prototype weapon in some units, but plans for full production were already built in the Empire's own country, and they move to mass manufacturing early. That's all you want to see Phantom Anger's aviation fleet as a threat and send it to the front as soon as possible.

"We need some sort of action"

Lassia said without breaking her upright immobility posture.

"If they make you say things in numbers, you'll be able to cut this battle in no time."

"Exactly. As long as this one has magic, the fuselage can be replenished immediately. Pilots can handle it with shapeshifters, but magic isn't inexhaustible."

That's what I fear. As long as you have the magic power, you have a Terra Fidelitian manufacturing facility that can produce more and more weapons. The increasing size and supply of weapons to the coalition forces had also seen an accelerating rise in the magic power of the weapons and ammunition consumed. So if you get hit by a war of attrition or something, it's only a matter of time before you get flat.

Expansion of consumption. Don't insult the barracks.

"Manufacture of weapons, weapons, supplies, etc. that do not rely on magic. We have to push it forward."

Willidis today, all the prosperity of Tokitumo territory is only if it is magical. But that was because there was nothing until then, and when we could afford it, we were going to move to production that did not rely on magic.... It's also what I was thinking for when my magic was depleted.

"That, then, Early, Lassia. You both did a great job. Get some rest."

"Yeah."

"Yes, sir."

The two nodded. Early glanced at the clock.

"It's time for lunch, but how about we come together?

"Thank you. I'd love to, but I have to report to King Eman. Maybe lunch will be there... are you coming?

"Well, let me interrupt. I want to hear about the Kingdom of Riviere, too."

I'm talking about your neighbor's country. Being royal, I guess I'm also quite interested.

"Are you coming, Lassia?

"Dinner with His Majesty the King, right? I'm honored, but I won't hesitate."

Mr. Dark Elf stepped back with a ladylike thank you.... Well, even I wouldn't have liked a royal meal if it were normal, so I know how you feel. Here at Willidis, it's already family grumpy, calm lunchtime, so I don't care.

At Willidis Dining Room, me and Early had lunch with King Eman. Even so, while soothing, the content was quite political, though.

"First of all, it was a great effort on the part of the messenger. I'm glad we're having dinner together again."

I received the words of labor from King Eman, and I report from King Riviere, King Passé, that I wish to conclude a formal military alliance with the Kingdom of Veriraldo. The demands from the side of the Kingdom of Veriraldo seemed generally swallowing and King Eman seemed satisfied.

With the Great Empire throwing an airship in the pursuit of King Passé, the imperialists of Riviere are seen as moving towards a royalist crusade, with some modernization.

Therefore, I told the King that even as the Kingdom of Verilardo, we should support the Royalists with the least amount of mechanical weapons. King Eman seemed uninteresting, but I did not disagree with him on this, as it was expected at the stage where we talked about forming an alliance.

It's just good enough to give you a peek at the sentiment that it's not funny. It's not a public place, it's a human being with King Eman.

"It is inevitable to support the Royalists of Riviere with weapons, but the defensive forces of the western part of our country must also be equipped to deal with them."

While I strengthened my neighbor, my protection is handy and it's a real fall.

"The West is ready for the introduction of mechanical weapons on Valiere territory. Let's start with that and spread it to the surrounding nobles."

"It's Marcus' house."

King Eman seems to have remembered the name of our aviation magic knight.

"How's it going?

"Yeah, that house looks at one scale of the Willidis weapon, so both the Count, who is at the top, and Lord Lasse, who will be next principals, are aggressive"

"Had you already hit the fabric stone? That's great."

King Eman broke his face. You seem to be in a better mood than anything else.

"By the way, what's going on with the negotiations with the Union?

"Mr. Bell is negotiating with the king of Ouramgorisa. It would be a crack if you were asked to do something so unreasonable or unsaveable, but it's Mr. Bell, so I was wondering if it's okay."

"Hmm, Mr. Bell wouldn't have to worry"

As the words put it, King Eman nodded as he had no doubt at all.

"When that happens, the East will have to make the Empire grow up too, but now this West is going to make a scene"

"Right."

"Riviere, Shaeville, and Novelcion. The western side of the Great Empire will be ready to invade."

"To the north, the northern army of Jarzy. To the east, Marquis Creniere and my Willidis army. The Norte Sea has Count Verger's Norte Sea Fleet…"

If you have to, Allies Floating Island's Willidis Air Fleet is holding back. I can handle being invaded, but I'm still scared of the Imperial secret weapons group coming out of where this one hasn't grabbed it.

Enemies that have no peace of mind at all, even with their current power. I'd also like to ventilate around here...
