Biba Amatori's Second Suggestion!
Empress.
The Prince of Wales led his newly subjugated army of over 60,000 men, aboard only about 90 remaining magical airships, and successfully returned to the Albion Kingdom, thousands of meters above the ground.
At the same time.
He also left the bodies of hundreds of nobles and generals who led the rebellion on the land of the Tristain Kingdom.
The Prince of Wales appears to be very mild-mannered.
But after two years of war experience, he has long since developed a resilience and temperament beyond his years.
With Biba Amatori assisting her from the side.
Therefore, he did not hesitate much when issuing the order to eliminate them, because he knew that if these nobles and generals were not killed, there would be endless trouble.
The Prince of Wales returned to his homeland in high spirits.
With an army of over 60,000, he had no intention of dispersing his forces, but instead marched straight towards the capital, Londinium.
The fortresses and towns along the way surrendered with little resistance, and even those that did resist were swept away in an overwhelming manner.
However, quite a few rebellious nobles desperately fled the kingdom aboard their private magical airships.
The Prince of Wales ignored these people.
Because he can't manage it now.
Louise's previous Void Magic not only burned the magic warship to ashes but also wiped out all the Fire Dragon knights, so there are currently no aerial combat units capable of pursuing it.
Moreover, everyone has left, and the country is clean now, which is a good thing.
As for the wealth taken away by the nobles, the Prince of Wales has no interest in it now.
His only thought now is to quickly bring order to the entire Albion Kingdom, ascend to the throne, and then use that as a pretext to propose to Henrietta!
The Prince of Wales was intrigued by Biba Amatori's previous suggestion.
Because he Henrietta, and Henrietta loves him, he dares to offend the Germania Kingdom!
With a goal in mind.
The Prince of Wales was naturally very motivated.
Meanwhile, Biba Amatori only brought Levi with her.
Because Chelsea and Horobi were left behind in the Tristain Kingdom to protect Louise, while Mr. Hugh volunteered to stay at the Magic Academy to continue his research.
Dean Aulder Osmond also welcomed him.
After all, Alchemists with genuine skills are extremely rare, and it would certainly be beneficial to have more exchanges with them. They even invited Mr. Hugh to give lectures to their students.
It's worth mentioning.
Mr. Hugh noticed that this world also had alchemy, and that it was divided into two types.
One type is alchemy magic within earth magic, which can transform stones into metals such as brass, steel, silver, and gold.
That's outrageous.
Because in the Alchemy system of the Alchemi Kingdom, only Alchemists who have reached the Sacred Mark level can disregard the elements of the raw materials and create substances of other elements.
For example, things like stones turning into gold.
However, this alchemical magic has a strange aspect: it can only ignore the elements of the raw materials, but it cannot ignore the quality of the raw materials.
In other words, ten grams of stone can only produce ten grams of gold.
However, the Stigmata Alchemist can disregard mass and turn ten grams of stone into one hundred grams of gold.
Therefore, although alchemical magic is very magical, it is still inferior to Sacred Mark- level alchemy.
Another type is the more authentic, higher-level alchemy that does not rely on magic and can be refined regardless of material elements. No one in the academy knows this, but it is recorded in detail in related books.
It is said that only those who master this kind of alchemy are called Alchemists.
In this way.
More than a month has passed.
The Prince of Wales finally stabilized the situation in the Kingdom of Albion and applied to the United Kingdom of Halbarromaria for the title of King.
Because this world is still in an era of 'divine right of kings'.
In Romalia, the pope held a higher status than the kings, who were even required to kneel before the pope until the pope allowed them to rise.
Meanwhile, Biba Amatori had become the Prince of Wales' trusted right-hand man.
With his help, the Albion Kingdom has begun to reforge cannons and is preparing to transform thirty magical airships into magical warships.
The Prince of Wales questioned the need for so many magical warships.
Biba Amatori's answer was that the entire army of Fire Dragon knights that had accompanied the army had been wiped out. Although there were still about ten cubs left in the country, there was no need to worry about them becoming extinct.
It would be difficult to raise another Dragon Rider Corps.
Without Fire Dragon knights, the only way to compensate for aerial defense is to rely on magic warships.
After all, the Albion Kingdom is an aerial kingdom.
No matter which direction the enemy invades from, they can only arrive by air, so Air Force power is essential.
The Prince of Wales had no objection to this reason and agreed to Biba Amatori's plan, continuing his preparations for receiving the Pope.
But Biba Amatori's actions became increasingly aggressive.
The artisans who had begun to work on forging cannons actually developed a bolt-action breech-loading rifle based on the Flintlock.
He was very familiar with this.
The 'Steam Gun' in the Kabane World back then was like this, except that the power to fire the bullets was not gunpowder, but high-pressure steam.
It wasn't that Biba Amatori didn't want to make better firearms, but he didn't know how to make them.
Fortunately, this bolt-action breech-loading rifle can easily penetrate most of the armor or helmets in this world.
Furthermore, the craftsmanship requirements are not very high, and the artisans in this world are fully capable of mass-producing them.
Although the initial output was not very high, Biba Amatori dispatched several mages skilled in alchemy and reinforcement magic to help, and the output increased at a visible rate.
Once I've collected a thousand of them.
Together with Levi, he trained the first batch of soldiers who could skillfully use this gun, and then had these soldiers teach more soldiers.
The Prince of Wales was naturally aware of the entire process.
He was somewhat worried about the appearance of these firearms, feeling that they were too dangerous.
Not only would it make the war exceptionally brutal, but, as Sir Anderson and his men said, it would pose a tremendous threat to mages.
Although mages have various magical means to defend against these bullets if they are prepared, being ambushed would be disastrous.
Even setting aside the fact that low-level mages need to chant spells, even high-level mages might not be able to react in time.
However.
Biba Amatori's words led the Prince of Wales to acquiesce.
"Your Highness, while the likelihood of the Germania Kingdom launching a military campaign out of anger is low, it's not absolute."
"If the other side really starts a war, then these weapons will give our Albion soldiers a higher survival rate on the battlefield, and will also better protect your love with Princess Henrietta!"
This is truly an impeccable reason.
Whether as the ruler of a country or as a man, he could not oppose it.
Not long after.
Under the authorization ceremony presided over by the Pope of Romalia, the Prince of Wales finally became King of Wales, which inspired him to write a marriage proposal letter to Princess Henrietta afterward.
At the same time, following Biba Amatori's suggestion, the letter Princess Henrietta had previously written to him was sent to the Germania Kingdom.
This was to let the third king know that Princess Henrietta already had a sweetheart and that they had developed feelings for each other during their engagement.
Although this would damage Princess Henrietta's reputation, Wales decided to do so after a difficult decision.
All he wants now is to marry the woman he loves.
"Mr. Amatori, I hope everything goes well. I really don't want this matter to cause another deadly war, especially with another major power."
The King of Wales looked helplessly at Biba Amatori, but Biba Amatori did not answer him. Instead, she suddenly suggested:
"Your Highness, I suggest that you first make Princess Henrietta Queen of Tristain, and then marry her. This way, you can smoothly annex the Tristain Kingdom into our country."
"What?!"
The King of Wales was shocked; he even doubted whether he had misheard.
