131 – Ed’s Proposal

“Rescue all drowned people”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes!”

Meanwhile, Ed, who had watched the battleship being destroyed, gave the following command with a calm expression on his face, as if he knew this would happen.

An order was given to rescue the Klendor sailors who had fallen into the water.

Letting them all die could lead to diplomatic friction.

“There is definitely a big difference in specifications.”

A dreadnought battleship that is centuries ahead of the battleships of Klendor.

As a result, I wasn’t even an opponent in the first place.

It was almost like an adult playing with a child.

Because of this, Ed was very considerate of Bianca, and the last shot was fired only at one turret.

If all five turrets had fired simultaneously, I can guarantee that there would not have been a single survivor on the battleship.

The battleships would also have been completely shattered into powder.

“I’d like to warm up a bit too.”

Soon, Ed decided to test the performance of the suit’s ‘Leviathan’ mode and rescue the drowned man.

His men move in perfect order and launch dozens of lifeboats.

Ed began walking to the stern of the dreadnought alone.

At the same time, a crack appeared in the air and the parts of the suit stuck to Ed’s body and began elaborate assembly.

Now, the installation speed has become significantly faster, and the suit was completed in just a few steps.

-Geee! Slam!

When Ed stood at the end of the stern.

The front part of the helmet is put on and the suit is completely completed.

As soon as the suit was completed, Ed dived into the sea, and as soon as he entered the sea, the suit sensed the seawater and began to automatically transform into Leviathan mode.

It was an overwhelming visual reminiscent of a sea dragon monster.

-Shooooo!

Soon, Ed ran through the sea.

Unconscious Klendor sailors were sinking in the sea.

Ed immediately turned on the lights and started shooting nets to retrieve the crew.

“·····!!!”

However, there were sailors in the sea who did not lose consciousness, and among them was Bianca.

As she was swimming through the sea trying to save her crew, as soon as she saw Ed, she was so startled that she started to panic.

Ed’s capture of the sailor looked like an unidentified sea monster snatching its prey for predation.

【It flies. Edgar Fix.】

Ed approached the embarrassed Bianca and revealed his identity to her.

And by personifying the appearance of the bloody Leviathan mode, we took care not to feel fear.

【This may be helpful.】

Eventually, Ed put Bianca on a ventilator.

Bianca felt her breathing become easier and her eyes widened.

【Save the crew. Because I don’t have time.】

With those words, Ed moved to another place again.

This is to facilitate rescue operations by putting oxygen masks on conscious sailors like Bianca.

As a result of Ed’s hurried movement, he was able to get all of the Klendor submerged people onto the lifeboats.

The lifeboat with all the flood victims returned to the main ship, and the sailors on the deck raised all the lifeboats and dragged the unconscious Klendor sailors onto the deck.

I brought healing spell scrolls and treated them.

“Move all injured Klendor to Building C accommodation. “Tear off all wet clothes, throw them away, and cover them with a blanket.”

“”Yes!””

When Ed gave the order to collect the fainted Klendor crew, Ed’s men began to carry out the task.

Several executives, including Bianca, bowed their heads to Ed and thanked him for his favor.

“Goodbye. “Let’s recover your body first.”

With those words, Ed returned to the bridge.

Bianca bowed her head to Ed’s generosity and clenched his fists.

He planned to play with the enemy ships to his heart’s content and kill at least a few people under the pretext of training.

Only then will we be able to avenge the humiliation suffered by Clendor.

‘I lost completely…’

But after being beaten by a very powerful opponent, I no longer had any will left for revenge.

Rather, I was fortunate to have survived.

That includes all of the subordinates he cares about.

All of this was thanks to Edgar Fix’s mercy.

“Please follow me. “I will guide you to your lodgings for recovery.”

While I was so lost in thought.

Grick posed as a guide for Bianca and several executives.

Soon, Bianca and the executives who followed him into the Dreadnought opened their eyes and looked around.

They were literally witnessing future technology that was several centuries ahead of their time, so they could not help but be overwhelmed by all the scenery inside.

This is a technology that can never be imitated.

“······.”

Eventually, Bianca, who was assigned a private lodging, took off all of his wet clothes and wrapped herself in a blanket to raise her body temperature.

As my body began to recover and regain stability little by little, the cook on duty on board the battleship gave me some warm soup.

Finally, after taking a bite of soup, Bianca’s shoulders began to shake slightly.

She is sobbing.

The battleship that was his pride and everything has sunk.

“H…Huh…Huhuh…Huh…”

It wasn’t just that.

A truly overwhelming defeat.

Attack, defense, maneuver. It wasn’t even a match for all of those factors.

I felt like I was blocked by a huge wall that I could never overcome no matter what I did.

Today, Bianca’s ambition was completely dashed.

-Knock knock.

At that time, a knock was heard.

I answered with a cracked voice and Ed came in.

Bianca’s body suddenly stiffened and her muscles began to become stiff.

Learned fear made Bianca, who was once very energetic, calm down.

“Does the food suit your taste?”

“····Yes, yes. Wow, it’s delicious… Okay, thank you…”

Ed nodded.

And then I saw Bianca’s somewhat bloodshot state.

I could guess what her mental state was by seeing the tear stains spread here and there.

“·······.”

And Bianca, feeling Ed’s gaze, became restless.

An overwhelming technological gap that is enough to create such a crazy giant.

The terrifying appearance of Leviathan mode seen underwater.

All of that was engraved deep in her bones.

“····I will tell you straight.”

While Bianca was shaking, Ed opened her mouth.

And what Ed said was shocking.

“The Empire is looking for an opportunity to exact revenge on Klendor. “Soon there will be war.”

“····!!!!”

Bianca’s pupils dilated greatly at Ed’s shocking remarks.

The tremors of my body began to get worse.

In the meantime, Ed continued.

“Of course, my battleship will take the lead in that war. And you know very well what the outcome of that war will be.”

“····Ah, ah… Ah… That, that, that, that, that…”

“But I want peace. “I hope that the two countries can reach an amicable agreement and establish a military-lord relationship without war.”

Ed said that and she sighed softly.

Bianca was shivering so much that her blanket slipped and fell on her floor.

Soon, Ed picked up the blanket again, wrapped it around her body, and continued his next words.

“Well, Prince Ian will never accept these peaceful methods. You’ll want to fight until the end. So, I would like to give you a good offer, but can’t you take the lead in promoting peaceful relations between our two countries? The Empire is ready to push you to become the next leader. “You just have to accept it.”

Ed said and grabbed Bianca’s shoulder.

He continued her next words, staring straight into her eyes as if he were going to eat her.

“If you just accept it, you will be able to defeat all your brothers and ascend to the throne. “Because it ended well and without war, Klendor’s diplomatic rights will be guaranteed to some extent.”

Bianca looked at Ed with her blank face.

She looked at his beautiful face, enticing her with a gentle voice.

The more I listened to the voice, the more I felt as if I was being possessed.

“There is no need to be so scared. “I am on your side.”

Ed said and brushed Bianca’s wet bangs.

Bianca smiled faintly as she looked up at Ed’s face looking down at her.

It was a beautiful face.

“Think about it carefully. “Because it’s the only way you can win.”

With those words, Ed left Bianca’s dorm.

Bianca stared into space with a blank face, as if possessed by a ghost.

Ed’s voice sounded like an auditory hallucination, as if it was still floating in my ears.

His voice, body odor, beautiful face, eyes, smile.

All of that confused me.

-Thump. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

My heart began to beat rapidly.

Sadness and anger due to the defeat I experienced today. And frustration and fear began to mix together.

-Thump. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

At the same time, the image of Ed rescuing drowning sailors came to mind.

He was also reminded of how kind he was to his subordinates, and how he spared no resources for treatment and recovery.

His sweet voice said he would help me.

“Haa…Haa…Haa…”

Bianca lay down on the bed, breathing heavily.

She rolled up into a ball and placed her hand on his frantically beating heart.

The fantasy of Ed never left my head.
