Chapter 599: Admiral Bulat's Idea!
North of the Imperial Capital.
At the South Main Gate of the Farn Mountain Defense Line Military Camp, Leone and Bonny, two rare Female Vice Admirals of the Army, were standing together with Commander Seryu, who belonged to the Science Department's 'Ten Kings', waiting for someone's arrival.
They say three women make a scene, but with these few gathered, it wasn't as lively as one might imagine. Instead, the Atmosphere was somewhat heavy and oppressive.
Only the Cold Wind occasionally blowing from the North would swirl on the ground, whistling continuously.
They stood silently in front of the Main Gate like this for about twenty minutes.
Until Bonny suddenly spoke up to remind them.
"They're here."
"Look in the sky!"
Leone, who was preoccupied with her thoughts, quickly raised her head to look into the distance. Sure enough, she saw many flying black dots appearing in the southern sky, which immediately brought a Smile of joy to her Face.
"Did Admiral Bulat bring the Air Force Unit as well?"
"That should be the case. After all, our opponent this time is extraordinary."
Seryu nodded in agreement, holding the Little White Dog in her arms.
She had already heard from the Routed Soldiers coming from the North that their previous launch of nearly a thousand Rocket had been Intercept by seven of the enemy working together.
This caused Seryu's Importance of the World Government to rise sharply.
Not long after.
Hundreds of Flying Dragon, completely red, seventeen meters long, and nearly six meters wide, were seen landing from the Air one after another. These were the Rank A Danger Beast 'Fire Dragon' that The Empire had successfully tamed over hundreds of years, specifically serving in the Air Force Unit.
Standing on the backs of these Fire Dragon were Elite in full Red Armor, with Black Blades at their waists.
And what was most eye-catching were the thick, long weapons behind them, black and red, with an extra-large Caliber, looking like some kind of Cannon.
That was the 'Dragon Fire Gun', a mass-producible Ministerial Arms created by the Holy Emperor six hundred years ago, imitating the Imperial Arms 'Purgatory Incarnation: Rubicante', using the 'Fire Dragon's' flame-spraying organ as Biomaterial.
Although it didn't possess the 'flame that cannot be extinguished by Water' like the former, nor could it spray thick Magma, nor did it have a super large range self-detonation.
But the 'Dragon Fire Gun' had a flame-spraying distance of five hundred meters and could directly absorb Air as Fuel.
So, theoretically, as long as there was enough Air, and the Stamina of these 'Purgatory Knight' could lift it, they could continuously spray Flame from the Air.
Coupled with the 'Fire Dragon's' own flame-spraying Ability and the Insect-type Danger Beast 'Explosion Ant' they carried with them.
To this day, they have buried hundreds of thousands of the Alchemy Army and over a thousand Alchemist in the Sea of Fire.
"Admiral Bulat!"
Leone, Bonny, and Seryu saw Blande jump down from the back of the leading Fire Dragon and quickly went up to greet him.
"Mm, I just surveyed the Defense Line from the Air. You've done very well."
Admiral Bulat had a hearty Smile on his Face, showing his white teeth, and gave them a thumbs-up in praise. Then, he introduced the White Armored Knight who jumped down after him.
This person had curly yellow hair, yellow Pupil, a handsome Face, and a strong, slender build, about one meter seventy-five tall.
A white Bird Feather was tucked behind his left ear, and his whole body exuded an elegant aura that made people feel comfortable.
"This is Ran, a Vice Admiral from the Air Force Headquarters. He will temporarily be under my command. Get to know each other."
"Oh, quite handsome!"
Bonny, who had a more cheerful Personality, commented playfully while sizing up the other person.
Leone, however, was uncharacteristically without any 'excessive' actions. She just nodded and calmly stated her Name and Position, considering it a greeting.
"Bonny, you take Ran and the others to find a Camp to settle down. Leone and Seryu, you tell me about the recent Situation."
Blande said as he walked ahead into the Camp Gate, heading towards the main tent in the distance.
"Yes!"
The few of them responded in unison.
"Admiral, according to the Intelligence sent back by the scouts we sent out, the enemy Troops are still stationed at Muur Fortress, and large numbers of Troops are arriving every day."
"Perhaps because the Fortress can't accommodate them all, they have already set up encampments and Tent stretching for over ten miles outside the fortress."
"In addition, the scouts said they also saw some strange figures..."
Leone walked behind Blande, relaying the latest News she had gathered, one by one. She had now completely dedicated her Body and Mind to this War.
Because Leone felt that only by doing so could she perhaps rescue Nahas quickly.
Yes.
She firmly believed Nahas was still alive!
"What strange figures?"
"And were our scouts able to approach and get this Intelligence through Detection?"
Blande asked without turning his head, walking into the main tent whose entrance was held open by two guards. Immediately, the warmth from the Stove swept away all the Cold Wind.
"The scouts said they saw abnormally tall Giant, as well as figures that looked like humanoid animals, and people whose arms were either exceptionally long, or whose legs were exceptionally long, or whose necks were exceptionally long..."
Leone saw Admiral Bulat sit down in the main seat and then sat down on a chair beside him.
Of course, Seryu also followed silently.
"They sound like Mythical Races from epic Legend, but since the opponent is a Power that has conquered multiple Other World, it's not strange for them to have different Race under their command."
Blande said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.
Perhaps it was because this World itself had various Supernatural Creature, or 'Danger Beast'.
So, their acceptance of these incredible things was much easier than in the previous three World.
"But it doesn't matter. They have Giant, and we have Fire Dragon~~"
Blande looked optimistic, as if he didn't care at all.
"Yes."
Leone nodded, then answered the other person's second question.
"The opponent doesn't seem to care about our scouts observing them and hasn't sent anyone out to stop them."
"Haha—it seems we're being underestimated! Is this the Confidence of having conquered three World?" Blande laughed heartily. "This is a good thing. Arrogance often leads to Defeat!"
Immediately after, his Gaze fell upon Seryu.
"Commander Seryu, I heard His Majesty say on my way here that you are carrying a 'Five Paths Revolving Furnace' and have received authorization to use it at any time upon my Order. Have you been notified?"
"Yes, last night, I received the notification from Doctor Stylish!"
Seryu affirmed very seriously, holding the Little White Dog.
The so-called 'Ten Kings Judgment Unit' actually only had her Equipment as 'Ten Kings'; the Equipment on the other Member was only 'Eight Kings'.
The 'Two Kings' they lacked were precisely the 'Ballistic Missile' and the 'Five Paths Revolving Furnace'.
"Good!"
Blande was very satisfied with Seryu's answer, but then heard Leone ask with an expectant tone from the side, "Admiral, can we then launch an attack on Muur Fortress?"
"This..."
"Leone, you should know that according to the previous Report from the Routed Soldiers, the person who defeated Nahas was not that enemy Powerhouse who controlled eight Long Saber with his hair, but another Monster who could release Energy beams from his mouth and palms."
"Furthermore, there is a Sword Master Powerhouse in the opponent's Faction who could instantly kill Vice Admiral Izo..."
Blande's implied meaning was self-evident, but just as Leone was eager to argue, she saw the former wave his hand, signaling her to calm down.
"However, we have an absolute Military Advantage here. Hundreds of thousands of Troops will only exert their full Strength when launching a wave-like Offensive. Blindly defending is purely waiting for death!"
Leone was overjoyed and quickly stood up, shouting, "Then let me..."
"No!"
"You Imperial Arms User must hold the line. You are not allowed to sally forth without my Order. I just said, we must leverage the Military Advantage!" Blande resolutely interrupted her.
Having already mastered Haki, he was very clear that eight out of ten of the World Government's Higher-ups and Officer would also have Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
In such a Situation, easily sending out these Rear Admiral and Vice Admiral would very likely result in them being killed one by one by the opponent, and the Morale of the Whole Army would quickly collapse.
It was better to keep them in the rear as much as possible.
At the same Time.
In this process, he would try his best to help them also master the Strength of Haki. Only then would engaging the opponent's Powerhouse be the best choice...
