Leone Reappears!

The Northern Snow Region of the Teigu World.

The natural scenery here has a strong fantasy element.

The magnificent and majestic plateau mountains are covered in silver, the vast and white forests and snowfields are boundless, and ice crystal snowflakes are dancing between heaven and earth.

It was on this beautiful yet cold, pristine white earth.

Looking down from high above, one can see a surging black line stretching from the eastern horizon to the southern horizon, like a black python winding its way through the snow.

Zoom in further, zoom in...

First came the roar of various engines, followed by the sounds of vehicles moving and people shouting, which echoed across the fields.

This was actually a huge convoy consisting of hundreds of medium and large-sized vehicles.

Most of them were large trucks carrying various supplies and laborers, while the remaining small number were large gray and white motorhomes.

Front, both ends, and the end.

They were all escorted and followed by strong, black-clad soldiers riding Heavy Motorcycle.

These soldiers were well-equipped with cold-weather gear.

From top to bottom.

A hooded cape, windproof goggles to protect against wind and snow, a tight-fitting and breathable face mask, thick and warm earmuffs, a non-bulky winter coat, long trousers, and high-necked combat boots with fleece lining.

Because the entire set of equipment is black in varying shades.

More than two hours later.

The convoy, stretching for miles, braved the howling wind and snow, and finally arrived at the front of a rugged and massive city.

It's like a savage behemoth lying dormant on the snowy earth.

Beneath the towering city gate.

Vice Admiral Doberman, who had received advance notice, was already waiting there with two of his brigade commanders.

Since Charlotte Oven led his 3rd Division to the western front, Douglas Bullet then led the 1st Division south to join Onigumo's 2nd Division.

This 'Seka Fortress City,' originally the capital of the Randel people the Empire, was garrisoned by the 4th Division of his 1st Main Battle Legion.

Because this city is located right in the center of the entire Snow Region, any unexpected events on any front can be promptly addressed with support.

The war is almost over, but they haven't moved a single soldier.

This left the entire 4th Division, including Doberman, quite frustrated.

Although completing the garrison duty would earn some merit, how could it compare to killing enemies on the battlefield?

The most frustrating thing is that they will also have to act as guards for this construction team to prevent any Danger Beasts or clueless individuals from interfering with the progress of the entire construction.

Fortunately, Akainu Admiral that once the 'Seka Fortress City' is rebuilt...

Their 4th Division would also be responsible for guarding during the talks, so all these combined contributions were barely acceptable.

At least they were stronger than Dalmatian's 5th Division, who had been stationed at the Star Gate Base from beginning to end.

That's right.

After careful consideration, the World Government has decided to completely rebuild the 'Seka Fortress City'.

This location is ideal because it not only has a very suitable geographical location but also has ample readily available materials, which can greatly shorten the construction time.

"Hello, Vice Admiral Doberman, this is Pica, Deputy Director of the Construction Division. Has the city been completely evacuated?"

At this moment, Pica, who was nearly five meters tall and wearing thick gray winter clothes, got off the RV and came to Doberman with more than a dozen team leaders behind him.

Yes.

After several years of diligent study, coupled with experience in various engineering projects and the power of the Paramecia Stone-Stone Fruit.

Pica has not only obtained his senior architect certification, but has also been promoted to the position of Deputy Director. Now, everyone in the Construction Division believes that he will be the future director.

However, his high-pitched voice, which was completely incongruous with his giant figure, remained unchanged.

However, Vice Admiral Doberman and his officers were no ordinary men; their unwavering resolve prevented them from making the slightest impolite gesture or behavior.

"We've already evacuated. We've set up camp one kilometer to the north, so we can handle anything that happens promptly. You can focus on your construction."

"That's good, thank you everyone."

Pica nodded after hearing Doberman's words, then turned to his subordinates and instructed them, "Go in and remove all the non-rock materials first!"

"Yes!"

The cadres responded in unison and then quickly ran towards their respective groups' convoys.

Doberman had no interest in wasting time talking nonsense with Gato in this freezing weather.

He left behind a major Rear Admiral and his main combat regiment to guard the area, and, accompanied by hundreds of soldiers, led the other Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral to the newly established camp in the north.

At the same time.

Teams of workers dressed in gray winter clothes and carrying various tools jumped off the trucks and surged into the city gates like a tide, then branched out into different parts of the city.

Behind them, the trucks did not turn around and leave, but instead followed them slowly into the area.

They are responsible for moving the disassembled parts out.

Just as the construction team was working enthusiastically and preparing for a major undertaking, Vice Admiral Doberman and others returned to the divisional camp where tens of thousands of troops were stationed.

One after another, large black military tents stood neatly arranged on the silvery-white plain.

The roads are clearly marked, the areas are well-organized, and every ten meters or so there is a Lighthouse shining brightly, with faint warm light and wisps of heat emanating from the tents.

Those are large-sized Lamp Dial and large-sized Heat Dial.

With the Air Force Headquarters established on the former "God Island," now renamed "Elbess," these magical shellfish from the Sky Island have been successfully cultivated on a large scale.

Although production is not yet sufficient for external sales, it is sufficient to supply the World Government internally.

Especially the military.

"Reporting to the division commander, three hours ago, a woman claiming to be a former Imperial Army Lieutenant General was brought back by Major Ronnie and his squad who were on patrol!"

"Besides her own Teigu 'Lion King,' she also possesses the Teigu 'Incursio' of the fallen Imperial Army General Brand!"

"It's just the 'Incursio' activation device; the red-bladed, silver-shafted spear is damaged, supposedly broken by Vice Admiral 'Demon Shark'."

Doberman's dark, scarred face showed surprise after hearing the report from the Rear Admiral who had been in charge of guarding the area while he was away.

The officers and soldiers behind him exchanged bewildered glances.

"Since she's from the Empire, what's she doing here?" Doberman asked, voicing everyone's thoughts.

But the Rear Admiral came to report replied, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"This Vice Admiral Leone said he wants to join us and doesn't want to return to the Empire. He also hopes to meet Army Lieutenant General Nahashu of the Imperial Army, who was captured by Onigumo Vice Admiral Onigumo."

"Okay, I understand. Take me to see her!"

After a moment's thought, Doberman decided to talk to the other party.

The other party is a Vice Admiral, so at least they are equals in rank. Moreover, he brought two Teigu with him, so he definitely needs to be taken seriously.

As for the damage to one of them, that's no big deal; someone will surely take care of fixing it.

"Yes!"

Cough cough, I'm almost better now. Fortunately, it wasn't a positive case, just a pretty bad cold.

Also, to make it easier for everyone to read, I'll release the next two chapters together once they're finished.
