"Master, we could head to either Billings or Rapid first." After studying the map for a while, Xiang An spoke to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Do we have enough time?" Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned slightly, crouching beside the map as he examined the locations of the various cities marked on it.
Billings was far away. The straight-line distance from the Great Salt Lake to Billings was roughly three times the straight-line distance from the Great Salt Lake to Green River. It was an immense distance, yet only eleven and a half days remained until the negotiations at Green River.
"It took us over three days to get from Riverton to the Great Salt Lake. Billings is even farther, so it would probably take around four days." Lawrence frowned as well and looked up at Xiang An. "We may not make it in time. What would be the point of going there?"
"It's mainly because of Master's creative idea." Xiang An stroked his beard. "Though it would be a country that exists only within this Singularity, we still need a rear base to make advancing and retreating more convenient."
"And outside the enemy's sphere of influence, while still being close enough, the most suitable places are these two cities called Billings and Rapid."
Some time ago, Fujimaru Ritsuka had proposed a rather shocking idea.
"On this continent, we establish a new country that exists only within this Singularity." Fujimaru Ritsuka raised one finger, his expression grave. "Only then will both sides truly be standing on the same starting line at the negotiating table."
"And the king of this country..." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked toward Artoria Alter and Xiang An.
"Wait, wait, hold on a second!" Roman interrupted Fujimaru Ritsuka over the comms. "Why has this suddenly turned into establishing a country!? This feels so strange!"
