Chapter 168 - Guy Crimson

The Victory Ceremony ended without a hitch.

There were some who had evolved in unexpected ways, and others whose evolutions were put on hold, but none who had gone berserk.

All in all, a success I’d say.

But we didn’t have time to relax. We were still at war after all.

The troops that invaded Tempest were all taken care of, but there were still the Aircrafts coming in from the north by the sea ―― or rather, air ―― route.

I’ve already contacted Ruminas and Hinata.

“Hmph! I’ll just turn the tables on them!”

Ruminas had declared.

I didn’t think that that she would go to that much trouble just for humans.

But the Council and the Holy City Ruberius were in a cooperation pact with us.

A north western army was stationed around Ruberius acting at the Western Nations’ interception force.

In other words, Ruberius, being on the western edge, was the best place to position those troops.

In addition, many Holy Knights were deployed by the Religion HQ, and Ruberius also had their its own forces.

Hinata, who was head of the Committee, and Ruminas didn’t show that much hostility towards each other, and in fact, the latter was probably helping out in earnest.

Well, it enough just to be cooperative.

Ruminas may just want to be of help to Hinata, but her reasons didn’t matter.

After contacting Hinata, I sent the reserve troops, who had come as out reinforcement back, to Ingracia.

If they were being maintained as an army in Tempest, food and lodging costs would bury a hole in our funds.

They would be swiftly deployed to Ruberius as support in case Ruminas was in a pinch.

Tempest had become the convergence point between the Council and the Committee’s activities, so the other countries were busy preparing.

Soon enough, the majority of travelers would also flow through Tempest, but at present, Ingracia held that role.

But of those travelling independently, many took the opportunity to pass through Tempest.

Around a third of the soldiers and adventurers, rather than returning to Ingracia, had opted to lodge in the kingdom of Brumund and surrounding towns to see how things would play out.

They couldn’t move to Tempest as the not many trade routes had been established yet, but they expected that this country would become the center of culture and economy in less than 2 years time.

They were wise to observe the situation.

For this reason, only the armies form other countries were sent to Ingracia, as they would be deployed as reinforcements for the north west army when the time came.

Though, if we could expect 300 Aircrafts coming fully equipped, that would mean around 100,000 troops.

Considering logistics, filling them up to maximum capacity was not probable.

Consulting with Calgurio, Aircrafts ―― or rather Airships, he insisted ―― could each carry 400 troops.

A minimum of 50 Mages were necessary for a ship to be operable.

The transport of the Beast Corps was left to an individual called Major General Xam’d.

“In all likelihood, the remaining of the Aerial Fighter Legion members would likely be scientist.
