Brand's Plan!

North of the Imperial Capital.

At the south gate of the Mount Famu defense camp, Leone and Bonney, two rare Vice Admiral in the Army, stood with Seryu, the Seryu of the 'Ten Kings' under the Science Department, waiting for someone's arrival.

They say three women make a drama, but when these women got together, it wasn't as lively as one might expect; instead, the atmosphere was rather dull and oppressive.

Only the cold winds that occasionally blow from the north swirl and howl across the ground.

They stood quietly in front of the gate for about twenty minutes.

Until Bonney suddenly spoke up to remind her.

"They've arrived."

"Look at the sky!"

Lost in thought, Leona quickly looked up and saw many black dots flying in from the south, which immediately brought a joyful smile to her face.

"Did Admiral Brand bring the Air Force with him?"

"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 defeated soldiers from the north that nearly a thousand rockets they had fired had been intercepted by seven enemy soldiers working together.

This caused Seryu to place an even higher value on the World Government.

Not long after.

One hundred or so crimson dragons, each seventeen meters long and nearly six meters wide, descended from the sky. These were the 'Fire Dragon,' a first-class Danger Beasts that the Empire had successfully tamed over hundreds of years, and which served exclusively in the Air Force.

On the back of these Fire Dragon stood an elite knight clad in crimson armor, a Black Blade at his waist.

What's most striking are their long, thick weapons with black and red stripes on their backs, and an exceptionally large caliber, resembling some kind of artillery.

That was the "Dragonfire Spear," a mass-producible Shingu created six hundred years ago by the "Sacred Emperor" in Imitation Magic the Teigu "Rengoku Suicide Fire Dragon," using the fire-breathing organs of a "Dragonfire Gun" as biological material.

Although it doesn't possess the 'flames that cannot be extinguished with water' like the former, nor can it spew out thick magma, nor does it have a super-large-scale self-destruction.

However, the 'Dragonfire Gun' can spray fire up to 500 meters away and can directly absorb air as fuel.

So theoretically, as long as there is enough air and these 'Purgatory Knights' are strong enough to lift it, they can keep shooting flames from the air.

Combined with the fire-breathing ability of the 'Fire Dragon' and the 'Exploding Ant' insect-type Danger Beasts creature it carries, it can further enhance its power.

To date, hundreds of thousands of the Alkemi Army and thousands of Alchemists have been perished in the inferno.

"Admiral Brand!"

Leone, Bonney, Seryu saw Brand jump down from the back of the leading Fire Dragon and rushed to meet him.

"Yes, I just surveyed the entire defensive line from the air, and you've done an excellent job."

Admiral Brand, with a hearty smile revealing his pearly white teeth, gave them a thumbs-up in praise before introducing the white-armored knights who had jumped down behind him.

The man had curly blond hair, yellow eyes, a handsome face, and a strong, slender build; he was about 1.75 meters tall.

A white bird feather was tucked behind her left ear, and she exuded a comfortable and elegant aura.

"This is Headquarters Vice Admiral Lan from the Air Force Headquarters. He will be under my command temporarily from now on. You two can get to know each other."

"Wow, he's pretty handsome!"

Bonney, with her rather outgoing personality, sized up the other person while making a teasing remark.

Leone, contrary to his usual behavior, did not make any 'extreme' moves. He simply nodded and calmly stated his name and position, which was considered a greeting.

"Bonney, take Ran and the others to find a campsite to settle down. Leone and Seryu, tell me about the recent situation."

As he spoke, Brand led the way through the camp gate, heading towards the central tent in the distance.

"Yes!"

The group responded in unison.

"Admiral, according to the intelligence reported by the scouts we sent out, the enemy forces are still stationed at the Muer Fortress, and large numbers of troops are arriving every day."

"Perhaps because there's not enough room in the fortress, they've already set up camps and tents stretching for miles outside the city."

"In addition, the scouts said they also saw some strange figures."

Leone followed behind Brand, recounting the latest information she had gathered in detail. She was now completely immersed in the war.

Leone believed that this was the only way to rescue Nahashu as quickly as possible.

Yes.

She firmly believed that Nahashu was still alive!

"What strange figure?"

"And can our scouts get close enough to gather this intelligence?"

Brand asked without turning his head, and walked into the large tent where two guards lifted the tent flap. The warmth from the fireplace immediately swept away all the cold.

"The scouts said they saw unusually tall Titans, as well as figures that looked like humanoid animals, and people with unusually long arms, legs, or necks."

Seeing that Admiral Brand taken the main seat, Leone also sat down in a chair to the side.

Of course, there was also Seryu, who silently followed.

"It sounds like a mythical race from epic legends, but since they've conquered multiple other worlds, it's not surprising that they have different races under their command."

Brand stroked his chin thoughtfully.

It's possible that this world is inhabited by all sorts of extraordinary beings, or 'Danger Beasts'.

Therefore, they found it much easier to accept these incredible things than in the previous three worlds.

"But it's okay, they have Titans over there, and we have Fire Dragon here~~"

Brand looked completely unconcerned and optimistic.

"Yes."

Leone nodded, and then answered the other person's second question.

"The other side doesn't seem to care about our scouts' observations and hasn't sent anyone out to stop them."

"Haha--Looks like we've been underestimated. Is this the confidence you get after conquering three worlds?" Brand laughed. "That's a good thing. Arrogance often leads to defeat!"

His gaze then fell upon Seryu.

"Commander Seryu, when I came here, His Majesty told me that you are carrying a 'Five-Path Rotary Furnace' and have been authorized to use it at any time. I wonder if you have been informed of this?"

"Yes, I received a notification from the Dr. Stylish last night!"

Seryu, holding the little white dog, gave it a very serious affirmation.

The so-called 'Ten Kings Judgment Corps' actually only has her equipment that is 'Ten Kings'; the equipment worn by the other members is only 'Eight Kings'.

The two things they lack are ballistic missiles and Five-Path Rotary Furnace.

"Good!"

Brand was satisfied with Seryu's answer, but then he heard Leone ask expectantly, "Admiral, shall we then launch an attack on Muer Fortress?"

"This."

"Leone, you should know that according to the previous reports from the defeated soldiers, the person who defeated Nahashu was not that powerful enemy who controlled eight longswords with his hair, but another monster who could release beams of energy from his mouth and palms."

"Besides that, the opposing camp also has a powerful swordsman who can instantly kill Vice Admiral Izo."

Brand's meaning was self-evident, but just as Leone was eager to argue, he waved his hand, signaling her to calm down.

"However, we have an absolute numerical advantage. Hundreds of thousands of troops can only unleash their full power when launching a massive offensive. Simply defending is tantamount to waiting for death!"

Leone was overjoyed and immediately stood up, exclaiming, "Then I'll do it!"

"No!"

"You Teigu are to hold the line. You are not allowed to go into battle without my orders. I just said that we must take advantage of our numerical superiority!" Brand interrupted her decisively.

Having already mastered Haki, he knew very well that most of the high-ranking generals of the World Government also possessed Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

In such a situation, if these Rear Admiral and Vice Admiral are easily dispatched, the result will likely be that they are killed one by one by the enemy, and the morale of the entire army will collapse rapidly.

It would be better to keep them in the rear as much as possible.

At the same time.

During this process, I will try my best to help them master the power of Haki as well, so that they can then fight against the opponent's strong individuals.
