There was a group of people on horseback on the outskirts of Birdland as early as possible.

It is in the westernmost corner of the continent that the golden route was headed by Allied leader Bayolf Harden, in the direction of the harbour where Madame had previously grasped information.

Sei, who rendezvous a little late, just ran over next to Bayolf.

“Alliance Lord”

“Well done for coming, Sai.”

“… honestly, I don’t know what’s going on.”

“Actually, it was just now that I understood.”

“Well, let me explain something to you. – Oh? There doesn’t seem to be a consultant, but which one?

“Because this commotion is his fault, too.”

But keep the word.

“I don’t care. If you think it’s just faster to move the plan forward, your mind is just as quiet as usual.”

Speaking to Sai about what had happened and what he was going to do, Bayolf looked only at the end of the wilderness and his eyes had no strays whatsoever.

Even now that it’s all brightened up……

And even if it’s the status quo that pissed Ishtalika off.

“Your word, sir.”

No matter how powerful the golden route is, Sai complains.

“The odds must not seem limitless to everyone. Alliance leader, what are you going to do from here?

“What do you think I was preparing that harbor for?

…………

“A lot of people are mistaken, but my destiny is not such a city. I thought this would happen eventually. That’s why I have a lot of the equipment in port – no, I have it at a maritime base (,,,)”

Unlike the basement of the Great Arena, the harbour at the westernmost end of the continent cannot be concealed, but naturally outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Plus.

“You haven’t found the ship inside the dock yet, even if it’s an Ishtarika spy.”

“But”

“But what? Does that mean we still don’t have enough power?… I’d rather worry about Sai, but don’t look like a lost child.”

Remaining on the horse, he turns the stream to Sei.

“Even we have demon stone cannons. Even if it is not a replacement for the main gun class held by the Ishtarika fleet, it has more than double the number of Demon Stone cannons. And…”

Sei’s spine felt cold against Bayolf’s accidentally directed grin.

A glimpse of the ruthless side that Bayolf’s eyes usually don’t show, transforming him into something compelling that encloses the cruelty deep in the heart that the warriors fear.

“All remnants of Vafar’s eggs received from him are transported to a maritime base”

Well, now I want you to follow me quietly.

Bayolf couldn’t say anything to the last word he said. Sei nodded honestly and gave it back.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

It was early the next morning that they reached the port where the continent was at its westernmost tip.

Sometimes we had already received contact, or the port is already in a state of war.

Now, the harbour situation resembled the current harbour town of Roundheart, full of technology that had not previously existed on this continent. The pier, situated at the tip of the cobblestone laid on the edge, is well maintained and looks good on the blue sea plains.

Though the berthed battleships were slightly smaller than Ishtarika’s, dozens of them lined up spectacularly.

“……………… so much”

“You’ve never been here before, we’re heading to our maritime base from here.”

“Get on the boat, huh?

“No, the giant ship in the dock over there is a maritime base.”

Then Sei looked at the hand Bayolf pointed at.

What was there was a huge building, no less than Birdland’s Grand Arena.

At first glance it just seemed like a square stone wall could be done, but a good look caught my eye with the lights by the steel and many magic props that surrounded me.

Would it be a giant metal shutter built along the sea later?

It was a luxurious shutter with tattoos and decorations, similar to a door to enter a set of classrooms, at the Royal Kingsland School, where Ein knew better.

“Where’s Vafar?

“Over there.”

and now Bayolf, who pointed to the sea plains.

On the other hand, a dark elf warrior who narrows his eyes but can’t find what it looks like.

“In the northwest ocean ahead, a battleship with Vafar eggs is deployed. – Eighteen ships of our highest strength.”

“Huh – surprised. I didn’t know you were getting so many eggs from your advisor.”

“Oh, because I was relocating my research base at a time when I was able to successfully cultivate in the Grand Arena.”

“But I don’t know. I don’t think the Vafar I’ve seen can adapt to battle in the sea. Clearly, it would have been more meaningful to increase the number of battleships”

But naturally there is no point in that either.

Bay Olf is only a calm, confident face that doesn’t break.

Put your hand on Sei’s shoulder when you smile gracefully.

“They’re more flexible creatures than we think.”

I say this and then I get off the horse.

“Follow me. I want you to burn it in Sai’s eyes, the heart of our golden route.”

There is definite confidence in the way he heads to the dock.

Sai also silently followed and walked.

“I’ll sail immediately, okay?

“Oh, oh… I don’t mind”

“What’s the matter, you don’t have the usual hegemony”

“… I don’t even know why, but I think I’m confused”

“Confused?”

“- No, it’s nothing”

I didn’t say it, but Sei didn’t believe Bayolf.

He had no plans to turn Ishtarika against his enemies, and if he did, he didn’t even know that Ishtarika was among the interracial people in the underground research facility.

No matter how many nationalities you’re losing, it wouldn’t be strange if Ishtarika moved for a reason.

“And the Alliance Lord… what’s the plan you were saying by the time you got here?

“I’ll tell you. In our ship.”

Anyway, it wasn’t long before I headed to the dock so I could be taken by the expensive Bayolf.

One small town is no less large than a huge ship sitting in a dock that is likely to fit.

Does this work?

Says Bayolf, who was also acutely aware of Sei’s doubts.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s lightweight to the extreme.”

Says Ishtarika doesn’t perform as well as its proud sea dragon ship Leviathan. If you try to make it the same performance, you can’t have a single piece of material you need, and it’s just a chunk of iron waiting to sink.

“I just want my country”

“………… hmm?

“I told you, it’s my plan. I want my country. How successful I am, I am nothing but a merchant. Where countries had influence, until then.”

“I don’t know, how can that be the reason for nation-building”

“If you become king – because everyone will recognize me”

“Say it again, I don’t know. Even though everyone has already admitted their ally, Bayolf Harden.”

Then Bayolf laughs all the time and makes me feel uncommon and sad.

Lower the edge of the eye slowly.

The corner of his mouth raised to mock only one side.

“Even the same merchant can’t beat him (Graf). Yes, everyone doesn’t admit it. – That’s it.”

Walking toward the ship, with a voice so slight that it doesn’t sound like Sai.

“So is my mother.”

Even as his heart was eroded by grief and anger, he put his strength into gripping fists.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The waters around here were also rock dam territorial waters.

In other words, the northwest sea of destination is off the coast of Rockdam, and if it were, the golden route would not allow any of them to cross without permission, except to stay.

But Rockdam says naval power is not as special, and the surrounding seafields are quiet.

The line of twenty battleships surrounding what Bayolf called a maritime base was spectacular, so much so that almost all of the warriors and researchers, including the crew, were intoxicated by their power.

“I’ve been watching, but the reason why I’m so flexible with this demon called Vafar.”

I think the surrounding battleships have accidentally rocked, and the same number of Vafar shows up at sea as the battleships. As many as twenty giant demons wielded fierceness in the giant arena.

In advance of his further battle power, Sei opened his eyes only to spit without attempting to do so.

And see why Vafar is able to swim and talk.

“Is that the advice of a counselor?”

“Oh yeah. A demon named Vafar can be manipulated by demonic stones when it is in the growth stage. For example, you can wear fins and Kraken’s feet as you do now by continuing to give the demonic stones of the sea.”

“What a sight…”

It’s just a little creepy.

I understood that something called an organism is something that keeps changing over time, but that’s what makes it so easy. I never thought my figure would change as if I were going to do clay finishing.

It was greatly understandable that it existed sufficiently as a force of war.

It’s just that the creeps can’t dive in the ringing.

“Come on – guardians of our golden route!

When Bayolf stands on the bow and spreads his arms, he commands twenty vafar drifting in the sea.

“Ahead is our new base! Shake that power. Eh! Prove that gold can shine in the ocean!

Then something glows at Bayolf’s disposal.

Sei, who was next door, has no further interest, knowing that it is the magic prop used for the order. Now he was distracted by what Vafar would do drifting in the sea.

Eventually, it was as if it would meet that interest.

Vafar moved out simultaneously, six swords gripped by six arms slightly reflecting light in the sea.

If you think one Vafar has returned to sea, a demon was pierced at the end of the sword, and the other Vafar floated the bodies of several demons with the surfacing.

It is often the case that when it comes to sea demons, they are even more powerful and difficult opponents than land demons – but it has not been a lifetime at all, just ravages them.

Come on, let’s move on.

Bayolf stays all cheered up.

I have just spoken of a single decree.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The desolate sea was violent everywhere. Even demons living in the sea plains lurk deep in the sea, to the point of saying they are powerless against pure natural violence.

The wind stroking the sea plains is also strong again due to the sudden breakdown of the weather.

However, a fleet spanning dozens of ships continues its course with our faces.

All loaded with crystalline weapons of technology, the whole thing is added to demonic material, covered with artificially developed but not for long and robust material.

Storms on rough waves, and demons.

Whatever struck me, I never felt fear.

– – The ship that leads, Bayolf standing on its deck, trembles into certain emotions.

“Gold is power… there was no mistake in this idea”

An eloquence that speaks with both arms spread like wings in intense rain and wind.

Everyone breathes in pride drifting into prestigious standing, making them feel joy for what they have done about him and strong expectations for the future ahead.

His voice had been delivered to each ship through demonic props.

Is it the waves that shake a belt of ships, or the tremor of joy in response to his words?

Whatever it is, don’t let it seem like God or something about ourselves going through this watershed with our faces. The fact that not only demons, but even natural marvels, could not help but make their minds dazzle.

Also because Vafar, who guards his surroundings, had absolute trust.

Vafar is so belligerent that he chases even demons trying to escape and pierces them with his sword, yet he is terribly loyal to the Lord, Bayolf.

This was one end of Bayolf’s confidence, and he was proud to say that maritime power was no less than Ishtarika’s.

“The fog around me is getting thicker. This thick fog is unusual off the coast of Rockdam…”

“I don’t mind. Come on, move on.”

Bayolf responds with his hands up to his subordinates’ reports.

He said it was fog.

Attention should be paid to clashes between allies, but I wasn’t worried about that.

But the waves accidentally disappeared. I’m just saying there wasn’t a wave from the start, neglect.

Looking around for a few seconds.

The fleet I was leading and my own ship, the dense fog cages that surrounded it.

“I apologize for every once in a while…… ugh! Wow, not one of our ships has advanced… I don’t know why… it looks like the flow of water is blocking our progress… ugh!

“How’s the fleet progressing? Even the demons showed up?

“I don’t even know that…… ugh! Please return to the ship once!

“It’s okay, nothing to worry about with our power”

“But…”

“Just in case it can’t be anything. As long as we have an array, our maritime power is absolutely…”

Yeah, I didn’t have to worry about anything.

Even so.

“Gahhhhh!?

Wood-spirited Vafar screams on a rough seafield.

It was never a roar or anything, it was clearly a sad voice.

Soon a part of my voice became red stained with blood.

“… check the situation.”

“Ha-ha-ha!

One more head while I’m doing this……

And the third head screams and floats powerlessly at sea.

It couldn’t have been in case.

The years spent for this plan, and the funds are interminable. But it wasn’t just that, because there was no forecast in the mindfulness, and it was the best plan I could have had.

But that was a long time ago.

It was from the sea at the front until a man’s voice was heard.

“- Hello”

An anomaly where tiny human voices arrive so much that they say there are no waves around. But it did sound like two ears standing at the stern.

When I turned my eyes, the roots of the thick trees that had appeared a few dozen meters away at some point.

And there is the figure of one man who laid down his hips on it. The man is looking down at the sea and can’t see his face. However, dark brown hair wet in the rain was lustrously attached to the neck muscle.

Look at him, Bayolf standing on the bow unconsciously trembles all over his body.

Follow your survival instincts and give directions without understanding being driven to the trembling self.

“Give that man a demon stone cannon.”

Why would you do such an overattack? He gets furious when he sees a man standing next to him being so distracted.

“Release it quickly!

“Ha… ha!

Two battleships, which were proceeding to defend their sides, unleash their main guns.

Just one, point it at the man in front of you.

Extremely colorful light, fluctuations, and shock waves create great waves and become overwhelming violence. Like a war in history, it’s a mass of killing intent to wipe everything out without a trace.

“Why? How could that king prince… ugh.”

After giving the instructions, the man sipped and watched. He said he would be absolutely fine with that. Believe me wholeheartedly, plead a few seconds later that I would gain heartfelt relief.

But then I looked up at the sky and understood that my wish did not come true when I saw a broken cloud.

“Neither do we”

Such a man stood on the roots of a tree at some point.

No scratches whatsoever on the demonic stone cannon streak, flat out.

The sword flashes run through the sea following the words.

A battleship that should have been going both sides was broken between blinks.

The impact of the moment becomes a strong wind and strokes the sea level.

“We’re confident in our maritime capabilities, too.”

The man standing at the root of the tree eventually brutally scratched his hair, which was wet with water, with his hands. Face in the sun and see the ship in a pleasant sea breeze.

“El, Al”

There, it was the giant two sea dragons that shook and appeared.

“……………………………………………………………………………….”

…………

One head, only Elle, his sister, laid her face on the roots of the tree beside Ain, and looked up about him and raised her voice.

And the other one, his brother Al, claims to exist by stretching his body to the universe behind Ain. There is no squeaking, but a sharp pair of eyes glimpse the battleship group Bayolf awaits.

I notice it here. Bayolf saw the blood dripping from Al’s mouth that appeared behind Ain and understood what had happened to Vafar.
