Chapter 737: Please Indicate the Direction You Wish to Go!
[Puff! Puff!]
Two flashes of Blade Light swept past. The heads of the Hobgoblin and the small goblin were instantly cut off by Levi, who then kicked them into the pit that Mima Amatori had previously cleaved open.
Meanwhile, Tengen Uzui normally picked up the other Goblin corpses and threw them into the pit.
"Hello, although I know you can't understand, could you please cooperate? Otherwise, I might have to resort to force."
Mima Amatori walked up to the Otherworld Soldier and said in a very gentle tone.
The latter was currently in Severe Pain all over his body, especially the places injured during the Combat and his chest, which had been brutally kicked by Levi.
But as an Imperial Guard Knight who had undergone Training for many years, he still possessed the Willpower to endure pain.
What is this guy saying?
Judging by his tone, it seems like he's instructing me about something, with a hint of threat.
Is he telling me not to move around? Or not to resist?
"Yo, this person is very smart. He actually guessed that you were instructing him not to move around just from your tone," Mr. Shu praised.
Mima Amatori raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Is that so? That makes things a lot easier for us. However, it's not enough for just us to know what he's thinking. We need him to understand what we mean so that normal Communication can take place."
Hugh naturally understood this Principle.
He thought for a moment, said "Let's try Hand Signals," then extended his Right Hand in front of the Otherworld Soldier, pointed to the other party's Head, then pointed to himself, and nodded at the same time.
A string of Black Lines instantly appeared on Mima Amatori's Head.
"You're..."
Mr. Shu chuckled awkwardly, "Ahem, I'm indicating that I can know the thoughts inside the other party's Head."
Meanwhile.
The Otherworld Soldier was also trying hard to think and understand Hugh's actions.
He pointed to my Head, then pointed to himself, and then nodded. What does this mean?
The other party's Robe attire should be a Mage robe from somewhere. Is that Green Eyeball on his forehead a Magic Item?
So...
Does the other party mean that he can see what I'm thinking in my mind through that Green Eyeball?!
The next moment.
The Otherworld Soldier saw the other party start nodding repeatedly again and even raised his Right Hand to give him a thumbs-up. Did he guess correctly?
"Wow, is this person really just an ordinary Soldier? He actually guessed it!"
Mr. Shu exclaimed.
This shocked Mima Amatori. Did the other party really understand such simple three actions?
"It should be because this World has Supernatural Power like Magic."
Hugh, as a seasoned Intermediate Alchemist, habitually began to analyze.
"So, he can understand and speculate about this eye-shaped Imperial Arms on my forehead and Mind-related Supernatural Ability through the Concepts of Magic and Magic Item."
"Indeed..."
Mima Amatori deeply agreed with this.
If it were a Kabaneri World Person from his origin, they would absolutely not be able to guess that the other party possessed a Superpower that could know their thoughts just through three simple Hand Signals.
Mr. Shu suddenly said, "He's starting to introduce himself."
Meanwhile.
This Otherworld Soldier thought in his Heart while also speaking it out.
He knew that Mr. Shu couldn't understand what he was saying, but it felt very uncomfortable just thinking it without speaking it aloud.
"Mr. Strange Mage, although I don't know why you can't understand the Halkeginian Language, if you can hear my current thoughts, could you clap your Palm?"
The next second, he indeed saw Mr. Shu raise his hand and clap once in front of him.
This made Tengen Uzui and Levi, who had 'cleaned up' the Goblins, look over curiously. Then, with Rapport, they walked to the Edge to be vigilant of the depths of the Dark Forest.
They had encountered many strange Creatures before, some of which displayed peculiar Supernatural Ability.
They were very similar to the 'Danger Beast' in the Imperial Arms World.
Coupled with the Smell of Blood permeating the area, they could guess that many carnivorous Creatures were definitely approaching at this moment.
Their job was to deal with them and prevent them from disturbing Mr. Shu and the others from gathering Intelligence about this World's Civilization.
This kind of Matter didn't require Mima Amatori to specifically instruct them.
After all, one was from the Survey Corps, and the other was from the Demon Slayer Corps and also a Ninja. It could be said to be basic professional conduct.
On this side.
Mr. Shu was carefully listening to the Otherworld Soldier's Inner Voice using the 'Insight' Function of 'Five-Sight Almighty'.
The reason he was chosen from among many Alchemists was because he had gained the usage approval for this Imperial Arms.
As for the Original Copy Imperial Arms User, Green from the Imperial Intelligence Division, his usage rights were naturally stripped, as it was difficult for him to compete with an Intermediate Alchemist.
"Excellent, you can really hear my thoughts!"
"Then, I will now formally introduce myself. I am Andal Nunes, a Member of the Imperial Guard Knights belonging to the Albion Royal Family, and also a Baron of the Albion Kingdom."
"Recently, this Nation experienced a very serious Noble Rebellion. In order to escort Crown Prince Wales to safely evacuate, I was unfortunately injured during Combat with the pursuing Rebel Army and lost Consciousness. When I woke up, I was already here."
"I request your help to return to the Crown Prince's side as soon as possible. Please!"
After speaking, Knight Ander Bowed towards Mr. Shu and Mima Amatori and remained bent over for a long time, unwilling to straighten up.
"Rebellion, War, this is good news..."
Mima Amatori felt this was a very good opportunity after hearing the words relayed by Mr. Shu.
After all, War often reveals a lot of information and makes it easier to gauge how deep the 'Water' is in this World.
"Let's move to another location and set up a visible second Camp, then draw a Map of this vicinity and have Knight Ander point out the Direction of that Crown Prince."
"Alright!"
Mr. Shu had no objection to this. He immediately walked over and helped Knight Ander up, then communicated with him using difficult Hand Signals, and finally patted his Shoulder, signaling him to relax.
Mima Amatori walked to the side and informed Mekko and Chelsea, who were waiting at the Star Gate Camp, about the Situation here through his Earphone.
"That's the Situation. We'll notify you to come over once we've finished building the Camp here."
"Okay, Captain Amatori~"
Chelsea glanced at Mekko, who showed no Expression, and seeing that she had no intention of responding, she then lively and sweetly laughed:
"You don't need to worry about us. Sister Mie Huo is amazing! A Black Humanoid Monster with Wings came to Attack earlier, and she easily dealt with it!"
Mima Amatori gave a Smile, "Yes, Mekko has indeed become much Strong."
An hour later, the few of them selected a relatively hidden place in the Forest.
Then, under the effect of Mr. Shu's Alchemy, three two-story Stone Houses and a circle of Stone Walls with a Stone Gate instantly rose from the ground.
It must be said.
Having an Alchemist in the Team is a huge help in Logistics.
Knight Ander was shocked again.
He personally witnessed this Mage who could hear his Inner Voice simply draw something like a Magic Array on the ground, then clap his hands together and activate this Earth Magic.
What shocked him was that this Mr. Mage didn't use a Magic Staff?
This was a sign of a High-Level Magic User!
He himself was currently unable to use any Magic because he didn't have his 'Magic Sword' with him, although as a Knight who was more skilled in Swordsmanship, he didn't know much Magic anyway...
A moment later, Mima Amatori gently placed the nearby Map they had jointly drawn onto the Stone Table in front of Knight Ander.
"Come, let him point to the Direction he wants to go next."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 738: How Many Officers Does the World Government Have?
Sea Star Mainland.
The conclusion of the 1502 Reverie and the end of the Liberation Day Gala caused intense upheaval and clamor throughout the entire World.
Previously, only the Officials of the World Government were busy working tirelessly every day. Now, however, all the Allied Kingdom Royalty, Nobility, and even the Common People at the bottom levels were compelled to take action, striving to keep up with the World Government's pace of development. At the same time, they more closely felt the Great Tide of the Era sweeping over them.
The World Government had promised the Kings of all Affiliated Countries. Once the League of Nations in the Demon Slayer World was formally established and joined the World Government as the main entity, the Star Gate leading to that World would be opened to the Royalty of the various Kingdoms on World. At that time, they could form Kingdom Merchant Fleets and engage in Free Trade with the countries in the Demon Slayer World. But there was a Requirement. They must complete the Basic Living Conditions Guarantee Work for all their Citizens and pass the audit conducted by Investigation Teams dispatched by the Relevant Departments of the World Government. Whichever country completed it first would gain priority Right of Passage. In any case, the World Government's Target was that every Sea Star Person would have a house to live in and food to eat, and be able to live and work with dignity in the Future. That is, to achieve a truly Moderately Prosperous Society!
To be honest, the majority of the various Resources needed during the implementation of this Bill were actually provided by the World Government. Especially for those poor Small Countries and Small Islands. The World Government was basically helping them build the main facilities of their Cities free of charge. This deeply moved the Royalty of many Small Countries, leading to instances where they voluntarily gave up their Kingdom Qualification and became Cities under the direct Jurisdiction of the World Government. Just like Water Seven and Sabaody Archipelago. This led the Higher-ups of the World Government to ponder deeply. Many Small Countries on the Sea Star Mainland seemed truly unnecessary to exist as countries. After all, they were simply too small.
Meanwhile.
The formal introduction of the Law on Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration.
Also plunged the Holy Land Treasury Department under the Grand Steward Institute and the Police Stations in various places into exceptional busyness.
Because as people in various places continuously became Billionaires overnight by handing over Devil Fruits, and this was heavily promoted by the Propaganda Department on the Official Live Channel and the World Economic Journal. More and more people spontaneously bought the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and then started searching for Devil Fruits around them. They started by searching the mountain Jungles on their own Islands. After digging these places three feet deep, they either became lucky winners who got rich overnight, or they found nothing and chose to take a Ship to nearby Islands to continue searching. This caused a large number of Ships of all sizes to appear on the Great Sea everywhere, giving people a Feeling that the 'Great Pirate Era' had reappeared in the World.
But these Ships were not Pirate Ships, but sailed under the Flag of Adventure Groups. Then they publicly claimed to be 'Devil Fruit Hunters', explaining that they were Adventurers specifically helping the World Government find Devil Fruits.
This also made the Marine Headquarters lively. After all, among these so-called 'Devil Fruit Hunters', there were certainly some Bastards who committed excessive acts, such as killing people to steal Fruits or something similar. Once such acts were discovered, Bounties would need to be issued, and they would be Arrested as Pirates.
Naturally.
In such an Atmosphere, the World Government also collected a continuous stream of Devil Fruits from the Four Seas and various places, and the Contact Information of registered Devil Fruit Users.
This immediately triggered a Talent Scramble among various Departments. The Marines, Army, Air Force, and even Cipher Pol and the Ministry of Police Affairs, all offered high Treatment to attract these Ability Users to join. Furthermore, the Royalty of those Strong Countries and Rich Countries, in order to recruit Powerhouses for the Merchant Caravans they were forming, also generously spent vast sums to join this 'Ability User Scramble'.
Especially the contestants who achieved excellent Results in the previous 'Top 100 Combat Power Competition' and had not yet joined any Influence/Power, became sought-after hot commodities.
The World Government had no intention of stopping this kind of thing. In the eyes of Im and the Five Elders, this kind of internal Benign Competition was quite good and even worth Encouragement.
"There are so many unqualified people in the Military..."
Still on Noah's Ark in the Titan World.
Im sat in the Study Room, looking displeased at the Document on the table.
This was the Result Report of the 'First Military Triennial Officer Combat Power Assessment' that had just concluded a few days ago. It stated that over a thousand Officers of various ranks did not even meet the basic Condition for the first Physical Fitness Assessment. This included one Vice Admiral and two Rear Admirals.
These people would certainly be Demoted next. However, the good news was that a large number of Officers also performed better than their current Military Rank level, and these people needed to be Promoted. Overall, this major Assessment had a very good Effect. It not only gave the Military High Command a deeper understanding of the Situation of the Officers in the Military but also optimized and adjusted the Overall Structure of the Army, making Combat Power and Military Rank a better match.
At the same time.
It also created a Sense of Urgency in the hearts of these Military Officers, as this kind of major Assessment would be conducted every three years from now on. This required them to maintain their Physical Condition and continuously improve upon it to keep their Military Rank.
It is worth mentioning that Enel gained fame among the Three Forces through this major Assessment. Not only because of his Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability, but also because he defeated challenging Officers of various ranks starting from Colonel, leaping to become the current Air Force Vice Admiral.
There was just one regrettable point. When Enel finally challenged an Admiral, he encountered King, who also belonged to the Air Force Headquarters. After a fierce Thunder and fire battle between the two sides, Enel was ultimately defeated and his Path to Promotion stopped at the Vice Admiral level.
This was not surprising. The current King was extraordinary. At the age of twenty-seven, his Physical Condition had reached its peak. Furthermore, he had already mastered the Armament Haki Internal Destruction Technique, his Observation Haki had reached the level of Future Sight, coupled with Life Return, Six Styles Profound Meaning, and Swordsmanship that had reached the Swordsman Realm.
Overall.
The current King was definitely much stronger than the Future King!
The key was that the Lunarian race, under Im's instruction, had been freed from the World Government's centuries-long pursuit order and were allowed to Procreate and grow stronger.
Now the Biochemical Research Institute had obtained King's consent and cultivated a female Lunarian based on his Lineage Factor. And they guaranteed him that they would absolutely not implement any Ideological Imprints, and would definitely give him a fellow race member who was free in Body and Heart and healthy.
This point was also a Requirement from Im.
Returning to King.
Zephyr, the current Fleet Admiral of the Air Force, after seeing the battle between King and Enel, stated that King would definitely reach Admiral Level Combat Power before the age of thirty, or possibly even earlier!
That's right, he was talking about the Admirals of the past. After all, the current Admirals in the Military were already stronger than they were back then, and with the recent Assisted Cultivation using Gravity Fields, it was foreseeable that they would only get stronger and stronger.
"The Whole Army has seven Admirals, ten Admirals, one hundred fifty-three Vice Admirals, four hundred sixty-five Rear Admirals, one thousand five hundred twenty-one Commodores, and over one hundred fifty-four thousand Headquarters Officers of the four Field Grade ranks: Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, and Senior Colonel..."
Im looked at the final string of numbers on the Report, feeling slightly excited. These were the total number of Officers in the World Government's Whole Army after this major Assessment, or rather, these were the Available Combat Power under his command.
As for why the Officer Rank Combatants only numbered these hundred thousand or so, it was mainly because most of the Marines from the Four Seas had been transferred to the Ministry of Police Affairs. Coupled with this major Assessment. It also Demoted a large number of unqualified Majors back to Captain or First Lieutenant, causing the number of Officers (Field Grade) to shrink significantly.
However, the Overall Quality had improved greatly...
Thank you very much to the Disciple of Lotov Brand Cocktail for the 1000 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 739: Harry Potter? Goblin Slayer?
After reading this Report, Im had a clearer understanding of the World Government's Combat Power and Military Strength Scale.
Looking at it this way, the Ninja Alliance Army of 100,000 Chunin and above in the Ninja World seemed a bit too weak compared to the current World Government.
However, for the current World Government, the most important issue right now is how to improve Administrative Efficiency.
If this problem isn't solved, even if they conquer more Worlds later, it will be difficult to manage and Development them effectively.
But what Method is there?
As a Transmigrator, the first thing Im thought of was naturally to improve Government Affairs Efficiency through electronic Networks.
As mentioned before, the World actually has Computers, and also a Local Area Network System based on Den Den Mushi, but it is mainly used for Surveillance and Communication within Buildings.
For example, Impel Down, and the Academy of Science Inland (on the island) of Punk Hazard.
But what is needed now is a larger-scale and more mature Internet System, which is somewhat difficult, unless an Otherworld in a modern Society can be opened immediately.
So when Im learned that the Fifth Star Gate would be a Magic World, he was actually a little disappointed.
As for which specific World it was.
Just by looking at the Prophecy Paintings of Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the Peace Way Cult Master, he really couldn't tell.
However, the Mage holding a Small Wand in the painting, along with Capes of various colors and the European Attire Style, made him wonder if it might be the `Harry Potter` World.
Uh...
If it really was 'Harry Potter', then the Era this World is in seems quite modern?
However, when Im learned that the Sky of this Fifth Otherworld had two Moons, this conjecture came to an abrupt halt, as the 'Harry Potter' World does not have two Moons.
But among the various Fantasy Works he had read back then, he remembered there weren't many Worlds with two Moons.
The one he remembered most clearly seemed to be `Goblin Slayer`.
This is why Im requested that after sending people in, the Star Gate should be closed for a period of Time.
Because he remembered that in this 'Goblin Slayer' World, there existed a group of Deities who could control the Fate of a certain person or Race through dice.
For example, the reason why the Human Race in this World has a strong Fear of Goblins, who are much weaker than themselves, is because these 'Fate Deities' were secretly pulling the strings.
Therefore, Im didn't hold much Hope that Mima Amatori and the others would return alive.
Because once they were discovered to be Otherworlders, they would likely become playthings for these 'Fate Deities'.
"Vegapunk's personal Report?"
After reading several Documents from different Departments, Im also saw this Document from the Academy of Science and became interested in it.
Because he has always attached great Importance to any News about Vegapunk.
Science and Technology is the primary Productivity.
Although this statement seems somewhat inappropriate when applied to the World.
But it is enough for him to value the Development of Technology.
"`Super Den Den Mushi Online Public Library Plan`?"
As Im read, his Expression became increasingly solemn, but the spark of Excitement in his Gaze grew stronger.
[Bang!]
Suddenly, he slammed his palm on the Tabletop, and his Excited mood made him shout 'Genius' in his Heart. This Vegapunk is truly a peerless Genius.
Giving the Brain-Brain Fruit to a Den Den Mushi with all Functions, turning it into what he called a 'Super Den Den Mushi'.
Then Development a 'Brainwave Antenna' that can upload people's Memory from their Brains to the 'Super Den Den Mushi' through specially cultivated Special Den Den Mushi.
Achieving the Effect of allowing people to transfer Knowledge and browse News at any Time within the 'Super Den Den Mushi's' Infinite Brain Capacity.
For example.
If you want to know how to make a dish.
Then you can tell the 'Super Den Den Mushi' your Requirement through the 'Antenna' and the 'Special Den Den Mushi' in your hand.
Then the 'Super Den Den Mushi' can transfer the relevant Knowledge from its 'Brain' to that person's Brain.
Or.
You can also choose to refuse the transfer to the Brain and instead transfer it to the 'Special Den Den Mushi' in your hand.
Allowing it to present the cooking process in the form of Writing, pictures, or Footage by projecting a Virtual Reality Image.
What is this?
Internet + Peripheral Brain-Computer Interface + Artificial Intelligence + Virtual Reality World!
"Such an amazing thing, and it's only meant to be an Online Library?"
Im was almost crying and laughing.
It seems that despite Vegapunk's extremely high IQ, he still cannot escape the limitations of his thinking.
He truly underestimated the Potential of this 'Super Den Den Mushi Plan'.
This thing seems like it can be used as the World Government's online office System.
After all, Den Den Mushi themselves can Understand human speech, and now with the various enhancements from the Brain-Brain Fruit Ability.
They can be completely regarded as biological Strong Artificial Intelligence, helping the various Departments of the World Government handle many complex tasks.
However, this requires some Construction first.
Just like the Internet in the Technology World requires countless programmers to add bricks and mortar for the Development of one software after another with different Functions.
Right now, the 'Super Den Den Mushi's' Brain, apart from the Scientific Knowledge recently uploaded by Vegapunk, can truly be said to be completely blank.
Furthermore, various Rules, Zone, and Authority settings need to be made for it.
You can't really let anyone get Vegapunk's Knowledge, can you?
The World Government would not have such a naive idea.
"Let's get the Government's internal office System up and running first!"
Im immediately picked up a Pen and began writing down his Memory and Orders on a blank piece of Paper.
He Understood very clearly that this Technology and Plan would usher the entire World into a new Era.
This is skipping who knows how many Technology stages!
However, the World Government currently desperately needs Talent who have a full Understanding of 'Virtual Reality' and can carry out Development.
It's okay if they don't have any right now; they can let the subordinates figure it out themselves.
The World is so vast, he doesn't believe they can't find people with Talent in this area.
If worst comes to worst, he can try it himself. After all, he has watched many anime, Movies, and Novels in this area.
However, the 'Brainwave Antenna' Design Blueprint that Vegapunk provided in this Report is somewhat unsightly.
Are the future Sea Star People going to have to wear a red Apple on their Heads?
——World's Dividing Line——
In the Otherworld of the Fifth Star Gate, Mima Amatori and the others, who had rested for a night.
Had finished their basic washing and Breakfast in the Stone House with relatively complete Living Facilities.
Incidentally, they also changed into Clothing that was more in line with the Style of This World, based on the Memory in Knight Ander's Brain.
Here, they must once again thank the greatness of Alchemy!
Everyone deeply experienced the convenience that Mr. Shu brought to the entire Team.
The group of seven traveled through mountains and forests.
After casually killing a few Monsters that rushed towards them, Mima Amatori and the others arrived at the western Edge of the Valais Alps Mountain Range, as Knight Ander had said.
Indeed.
Here they saw a horrific Ancient Battlefield, filled with dense Human Soldier Corpses as far as the eye could see, with many Birds and Beasts type Monsters enjoying a feast among them.
Goblins, Trolls, Night Monkeys, Black Wolves, Vultures, Crows, Fierce Tigers, truly everything was there...
"Then we will temporarily split up here according to the Plan."
"Levi, Mekko, Tengen Uzui, you investigate to the north, it's best to find a Town and Infiltrate, while Chelsea, Mr. Shu, Knight Ander, and I will go look for the Crown Prince Wales."
Mima Amatori no longer looked at these messy Scenes.
He now needed more News to determine the next Course of Action.
And that Crown Prince, who was currently fleeing, was clearly a good Breakthrough point...
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 740: Such Weak Magic?!
"Kill!"
"You damned Traitors!"
"For Archbishop Regen Kista!"
"Long live Archbishop Regen Kista!!"
Somewhere in the Wilderness on the southwest corner of the Valais Alps Mountain Range.
A strange Army totaling over ten thousand people from both sides.
They were Slaughtering each other under the Scorching Sun at noon, the sounds of Screams and falling Corpses echoing endlessly.
The reason they were called strange was because within the ranks of both sides, there were many people who could release various Elements of Magic through Staffs or Blades.
For example, exploding Flames, Ice Spikes that could pierce Armor, or Whirlwinds that could blow people into the air.
Their presence constantly turned large numbers of low-level Soldiers into Corpses with bizarre death poses or Flesh and Blood wrapped in Iron Plating, making the Battlefield colorful, lively, and roaring.
"So this is Magic? It looks... quite boring~"
Hidden on a nearby Mountain Slope, Mima Amatori maintained a Smile on his face as he overlooked the entire Battlefield.
He simply commented on the first Otherworld War he had witnessed.
Chelsea and Mr. Shu beside him also nodded in agreement.
Only Knight Ander was confused because he couldn't understand.
This Knight looked at the Battlefield below, wanting very much to charge in and kill all those Bastards who followed the Traitors.
But his Rationality kept reminding him of his most important Mission right now.
He should introduce these powerful Adventurers to the Crown Prince.
As an Imperial Guard Knight, although usually silent, he clearly understood how difficult Crown Prince Wales's situation was.
Currently, they could only barely control this southernmost Zone, an area roughly one-tenth the size of the entire Albion Kingdom.
In other words, ninety percent of the entire Kingdom's territory had already been Occupied by the Nobility who were incited by the Regen Chista Cult to rebel.
Also, these few people couldn't understand Halkeginian Language.
Although this point was strange, in Knight Ander's view, it was precisely because of this that they were more Trustworthy, at least proving they weren't from the enemy Faction/Camp.
As for the problem of language barrier, although he couldn't solve it, Crown Prince Wales definitely had a Method.
If you asked why: Because of Magic.
Mima Amatori and the other two were still observing the Battlefield below.
As mentioned before, much Intelligence about a World could be obtained from War.
But as they watched, they became somewhat disappointed.
This thing called Magic didn't seem very impressive.
Analyzing from the bottom up.
The low-level Soldiers on both sides were truly just Ordinary People holding Blades, and their Equipment was very rudimentary. Their displayed Sword Skill, Speed, Strength, and other aspects were even less worth mentioning.
One must know that in the Imperial Arms World, even The Empire and the Alchemy Kingdom had Troops armed with Cold Weapons like this.
But they were already equipped with uniform full body Armor, and the Mass was very good, enough to withstand ordinary Firearms Bullets.
Looking at the Troops on both sides in This World, only a very small number of people had full Armor on their bodies.
Then there were the upper-level Magic Knights and the Mages standing in the back, constantly acting as 'Turrets', firing various Elements of Magic into the enemy Faction/Camp.
These Magic Knights, their Sword Skill—or rather, Sword Skill—couldn't be said to be bad, but they certainly weren't excellent either.
The Hotei, Flames, and other things occasionally released from their Long Swords.
In Mima Amatori's opinion, their Effect was nothing special.
They weren't as useful as the Pistol and Grenades hanging in his Clothing.
And the Ranged Magic released by those Mages through the Staffs in their hands.
It was mainly based on exploding Fireballs, with Power roughly equivalent to a Rocket Launcher, but with the advantage of being able to fire continuously in a short Time.
And then, that was it.
Mima Amatori didn't even see a single person or thing that could make his eyes light up.
Oh right.
In the ranks of those called Rebels by Knight Ander, there were also some Human Form Monsters said to be Trolls.
Their Height was estimated to be over two meters, their skin was rough and thick, and their Strength was also considerably greater than that of Ordinary People.
The thick, long Kanabo in their hands were swung with great Power.
Each time, they could smash several low-level Soldiers of the Crown Prince's side flying.
They were somewhat similar to the Hobgoblin that Levi brought back last night.
However, they were quickly dealt with by two or three Imperial Guard Knights working together.
It seemed these Trolls weren't much smarter than Hobgoblins.
Only their Skin Color was grayish-blue, and purple saliva was dripping from their mouths.
"Alright, let's keep going. Let's find Crown Prince Wales first."
Mima Amatori shook his Head in disappointment.
This made him have less expectation for Crown Prince Wales as well.
However, Knight Anderson had told them before that Crown Prince Wales might be able to solve the problem of language barrier through Magic, which was a very attractive point.
If it was really possible, then the Value of this Crown Prince, or rather this kind of Magic, would be too great for the World Government.
Moreover, Mima Amatori felt that the Crown Prince's Identity also had potential for utilization.
He was very Familiarize with this.
When Mima Amatori was in Hinamoto back then, he was also considered a Crown Prince of a country.
Although he was later deposed by that old guy, he knew how great the Effect brought by this Identity was.
Because they had to avoid the areas where fighting was taking place.
The group walked and stopped along the way until Dusk, when the Sunset slowly set amidst the Sunset Glow. They finally arrived at the City Gate of a Fortress under the guidance of Knight Anderson.
Facing such a heavily Guarded Military Fortress, Mima Amatori and the other two showed no Ripple, just calmly watching Knight Anderson negotiate with the other party.
Mima Amatori and Mr. Shu, naturally, were bold because of their high skill.
Having witnessed so many Wars along the way, it was truly difficult for them to feel any awe towards the Army of This World.
Of course, they also remained vigilant in their Heart.
After all, who knew if there were even more powerful Mages in This World?
"You few can rest in Terrell Fortress tonight. I have already had them prepare Rooms and dinner!"
Knight Ander walked over and said this to Mr. Shu, and the latter repeated his words to Mima Amatori and Chelsea.
"Okay."
Mima Amatori didn't say much, because they couldn't make the other party understand their words yet.
A moment later.
The three of them were assigned three Rooms within the Fortress that could only be described as average. Afterward, the few of them gathered in Mima Amatori's Room without any hesitation.
"Chelsea, Anderson and the other two have gone to the South Side. Follow him, find the Crown Prince's Position, and then Report back to us."
Mima Amatori looked at the dim Sunset outside the window and smiled slightly.
He had no interest in wasting Time here. Since they could meet the other party today, there was no need to wait until tomorrow. Moreover, the Surveillance level of the people in This World was truly too clumsy.
"Understood, Captain!"
Chelsea became serious upon hearing the formal Order. She immediately walked to the corner and used the Ability of the Imperial Arms 'Transformation Libre: Gaia Foundation'.
She transformed herself into a cute little mouse through the incredible 'Disguise' Ability.
After she left this small Building, she transformed into a yellow hawk common in This World at a corner, flapping its wings and flying towards the Sky to the south.
Soon, Chelsea saw Knight Anderson riding a Warhorse galloping towards the Jungle to the south from High Altitude. Behind him were two Imperial Guard Knights also wearing silver Armor and Black Robes.
After entering the Jungle, Chelsea descended from the Sky.
Then, using a large tree for concealment, she transformed into a black leopard a few seconds later and continued to follow in the dark.
"Is this the place?"
Finally, Chelsea saw Knight Anderson and the other two stop in front of the Main Gate of a white Church-style Building.
"Captain, I've found the Target location..."
She restored her Human Form and took out a small Den Den Mushi to give Mima Amatori a Report, as a Radio Headset would definitely not work at this Distance.
"Okay, keep an eye on that Crown Prince. We'll get there as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Chelsea received the Order and put the Den Den Mushi back in her pocket.
Immediately, she used the Imperial Arms' Ability again to transform into a Small Bird similar to a Sparrow, following behind Knight Anderson and the others. Two seconds before the Main Gate was about to close, she quickly flew in.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 741: Chelsea's Journey to Another World!
Inside the White Church deep within the jungle.
Knight Anderson and the other two were stunned as soon as they walked in.
At this moment,
Crown Prince Wales, whom they served, was standing in front of a man and a woman, his back facing the huge Window that had turned orange from the setting sun. He seemed to be presiding over something.
It looked like a wedding.
Because the Women with long pink hair was wearing a relatively simple white veil on her Head.
And on both sides of the Seating Area in the Church, stood four Imperial Guard Knights, each holding a 'Magic Sword'.
Seeing this,
Knight Anderson could only suppress the words he wanted to say and walked to a dark corner to silently wait for this strange wedding to end.
During this process,
No one noticed a Small Bird flying in through the crack of the Main Gate that was about to close behind the three of them.
"Is this... a wedding ceremony?"
Chelsea felt relieved when she saw that no one had noticed her presence.
At the same time, she focused her Line of Sight on the handsome Young Man wearing Luxurious Robes with a blue base and gold trim, exuding a refined temperament, with blond hair and blue Eyes.
Although no one introduced him, under these circumstances, a Normal Human could tell that he was Crown Prince Wales.
"But who is this guy?"
The Small Bird stopped on the Beam of the Rooftop, tilting its Head slightly in Doubt, and scanned the Creepy Man hiding behind the Stone Pillar below.
This person was wearing a green flat hat and had curly blond hair. He was stealthily raising his Right Hand, which wore an Amethyst Ring, and pointing it in the Direction of Crown Prince Wales and the other two.
And the Amethyst on that Ring seemed to be faintly glowing...
Meanwhile,
Crown Prince Wales was still presiding over the wedding, but Chelsea couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
And when he finished speaking, the man with ash-gray hair and a Black Robe standing opposite him responded with a single word in simple language, while also nodding.
This immediately led Chelsea to guess that Crown Prince Wales must have been asking if the other party was willing to marry the Girl beside him.
After all, in the Imperial Arms World, weddings were actually quite similar to this.
It was just that the Age gap between this pair of 'newlyweds' seemed visibly large; one was a scruffy-bearded uncle, while the other looked like a Little Girl who hadn't even reached adulthood yet...
"Huh?"
But when Crown Prince Wales said similar words to the Girl in front of him, the latter actually stammered and delayed giving an answer.
This naturally aroused Crown Prince Wales's Doubt, and then the ash-gray haired man seemed to be explaining something.
"Something's wrong!"
But Chelsea, as an Elite of the former Secret Police Force of The Empire, keenly sensed that something was off, especially with the Creepy Man below.
This guy had been holding up that glowing Amethyst Ring since the beginning.
"It should be a Magic Item similar to an Imperial Arms..."
Chelsea, transformed into a Small Bird, scanned back and forth between the Creepy Man and the bride Girl. She increasingly felt that the latter might be controlled by the former's Ring.
So what was his purpose in controlling her?
It was clearly to make her marry the ash-gray haired man beside her. This meant she wasn't willing, so following this Logic, the ash-gray haired man also had a problem.
These two guys should be in the same group. So what about Crown Prince Wales, who is currently presiding over the wedding?
As a fellow female, Chelsea naturally disliked their behavior of forcing a Girl into marriage. However, as a well-trained Secret Agent, coupled with her own relatively Calmness Personality.
So she remained in her Position, silently watching all of this continue under her Eyes.
But in her Heart, Chelsea also regarded Crown Prince Wales as a 'disgusting guy'.
After all, if the Crown Prince wasn't in league with these two, how could this Creepy Man hide at such a close Distance and remain undiscovered?
How useless must the Imperial Guard Knights around them be?
[Bang!]
"Louise!"
Suddenly, a Loud Noise and a shout appeared. Everyone in the Church abruptly looked towards the Main Gate and saw a black-haired Young Man carrying a Long Sword, appearing there, panting.
"Huh, why are this person's Clothing..."
Chelsea scanned the other party up and down in Doubt.
Jeans, a blue jacket... no matter how you looked at it, it was incompatible with the ancient European Style clothing of This World.
"Louise!!!"
The black-haired Young Man shouted towards the pink-haired Girl again.
The next moment, the pink-haired Girl's Pupil suddenly regained its luster. She immediately took off the white veil on her Head and also shouted back loudly at the black-haired Young Man.
"Saito!!"
"As expected..."
Chelsea smiled in her Heart. Such a scene, which should only appear in biographies, was actually happening right before her Eyes, and in an Otherworld at that. How interesting~
However, this also meant her Speculation was correct.
As for the subsequent developments, since Chelsea couldn't understand, she could only see them arguing about something.
The Imperial Guard Knights also slowly surrounded the black-haired Young Man under Crown Prince Wales's Order.
But the scene that happened the next moment left Chelsea dumbfounded.
The man with ash-white long hair suddenly pushed the pink-haired Girl beside him very rudely, and then used the scabbard, which was glowing green, to stab through Crown Prince Wales's Right Chest from behind.
The entire Matter happened too abruptly, causing the whole place to fall into a brief Dead Silence.
It wasn't until the scabbard wrapped in Wind Magic Power was pulled out of Crown Prince Wales's body, causing him to fall to the ground with a 'bang', that everyone reacted.
"Ah!!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!!"
The pink-haired Girl rushed to Crown Prince Wales, while the Imperial Guard Knights attacked the ash-gray haired man like madmen. For a Time, a fierce Combat broke out between the two sides.
Crown Prince Wales felt that his death was imminent. While giving the Girl a gentle Smile, he took off the Amethyst Silver Ring on his finger.
But just as he was about to close his Eyes.
Suddenly, a fair and tender hand reached out from beside him and forcefully placed a White Pill with a Purple Butterfly printed on its surface into his mouth.
At the same Time,
Crown Prince Wales heard a very strange pronunciation beside his ear. He couldn't understand it, but the worry and Nervousness in the tone made him instinctively choose to believe it and swallow it down.
"You... who are you?"
Louise looked at Chelsea, who had appeared out of thin air, in confusion. Hiraga Saito, who was beside her, tightened his grip on 'Derflinger', staring at the latter with a solemn expression.
Because he had just personally seen a Small Bird fly over and then transform into this Beauty with red long hair.
This was a Mage who had mastered a Transformation Technique he had never seen before!
"Bastard, damn it, you absolutely must not die! This is my first Mission for the World Government. If I fail even at just keeping an Eye on someone, how will I establish myself in CP8 in the future..."
Chelsea completely ignored Louise and Hiraga Saito, her Attention entirely focused on Crown Prince Wales. She continuously prayed in her Heart that the 'Purple Butterfly Emergency Pill' could save the other party.
Of course, it was also because she couldn't understand what the two were saying.
"Ahhhhh!"
On the other side, a Situation that left Chelsea speechless happened again.
The ash-gray haired man actually easily dealt with the eight Imperial Guard Knights beside him by unleashing Hotei from his Sword.
This resulted in the only Guards left beside them being the black-haired boy wearing jeans and a blue jacket, and Knight Anderson and the other three Imperial Guard Knights who had quickly come over.
She really found it hard to believe that these four people could stop the other party.
"So annoying, I'm not the Combat type! I wonder if Sister Kanroji's Breathing Style is reliable..."
Chelsea stood up helplessly, while also untying her Ministerial Arms 'Rattlesnake' from her Waist.
This was a Whip that could move according to the User's Will.
Mainly because she hadn't mastered 'Love Breathing' very well yet and didn't dare to use the Soft Nichirin Blade with a Blade much, so she was using 'Rattlesnake' as a substitute for now.
