Chapter Five: The arsenal and the Royal Family[]
The Albion air force’s arsenal was located in the outskirts of its capital, Londinium, in the town of Rosyth Before the Revolutionary War (which is what the Reconquista were calling the civil war that had just ended recently), that place used to be called the Royal air force’s arsenal And thus, there were all sorts of buildings The nus withiron Next to them were piles and piles of timber used for shi+p constructions and repairs
The large red brick building was the control center The three colored flag of Reconquista could be seen fluttering proudly But the thing that stood out e battleshi+p which seemed to reach the skies
The Lexington, the flagshi+p of the fleet, was anchored and covered by a cloth, sie tent, to protect it from rain The warshi+p stretched across two hundred e wooden board so that it could be remodeled as soon as possible
The king of Albion, Oliver Cro with some attendants
“What a big, dependable looking shi+p With a shi+p like this, doesn’t it feel like we can rule the world, chief rigger?”
“You speak too highly of me”
The chief rigger appointed to the fleet led by the Lexington, Sir Henry Bowood, replied half heartedly He was on the Reconquista’s side and was the co the revolutionary war Credited with destroying two eneton He was to assu was completed It was one of the customs of the Albion air force
“Look at those big cannons!”
Cromwell pointed at the cannons on the side of the shi+p
“These neeapons are like the syathering Albion’s alche to the calculations…”
The longhaired woe of approximately 15 times that of the cannons used on Tristain and Germania warshi+ps”
“Thank you, Miss Sheffield”
Bowood looked at Sheffield She emitted a somewhat cold atmosphere She was around her mid-twenties and wore a neat, thin black coat He had never seen such a weird appearance She wasn’t wearing a e?
Cromwell nodded with satisfaction and patted Bowood on the back
“She’s froy she learned froic arts She possesses knowledge of technology that is new to us You should get to know each other”
Bowood nodded in a bored ly believed that soldiers should not get involved in politics In other words, he was a purely militaristic person The fleet commander, who outranked him, had joined the rebel army, and so he had no choice but to participate in the revolutionary war as a captain of the Reconquista fleet For hi Albion's tradition - noblesse oblige, a noble duty, Albion was still a dom Cromas someone despicable who had just seized power and the throne
“There probably isn't a fleet on Halkeginia that can n fleet now,” Bowood had purposefully called the fleet by its old na his cynicism, Cromwell smiled
“Mr Bowood The Royal Sovereign no longer exists in Albion”
“True However, if you attend the wedding ceremony with these new cannons, I’ar demonstration of power”
Cro and president of the council of nobles, and the cabinet ministers of The Republic of the Holy Albion (Albion’s new na ceremony of the Tristain princess and the prince of Gerton fleet
Bringing new ood ould be seen as sounboat diplomacy
Cromwell replied casually, “Ah yes, I haven’t explained the scheood will visit' to you, have I?”
“Scheme?”
Another conspiracy? Bowood felt a headache co
Cromwell softly whispered in Bowood’s ears
“What?! I haven’t heard of such a disgraceful act in all my life!”
“It’s all a part of ly
“Didn’t we just recently sign a non-aggression treaty with Tristain! In Albion’s long history, we haven’t broken a single treaty!” shouted an enraged Bowood
“Mr Bowood I shall not forgive you for any further political criticis that the council has decided upon and approved Do you plan on going against the council? Since when did you become a politician?”
With that, Boas speechless To him, soldiers were swords and shi+elds that did not object They were the faithful watchdogs of the country, and proud ones at that If it was a decision froher rank, then they could only follow those orders
“You will soil our country’s nainia Our country will be known for cowardly breaking treaties” Said Bowood, disturbed
“Soil the country’s nainia shall be ruled under our Reconquista flag When we regain the holy lands from the elves, no one will care about such trivial matters”
Bowood drew close to Cromwell
“Breaking a treaty is so even your own country?!”
A nearby man pulled out his wand and restrained Bowood Bowood could recognize the face hidden underneath the hood
“Y-Your highness?” a shocked Bohispered
The face was of Prince Wales, who had died in battle
“Captain, I wonder if you would be able to say those words to your once superior officer?”
Bowood dropped down to his knees Wales reached out his hands and kissed Bowood He became pale Those hands were as cold as ice
Cromalked out with his attendants Wales also followed suit The only one left was Bowood, standing still, shocked Wales, who had died, was living and e in the water arts Even he, an expert in water s, had not heard of a spell that could bring life to someone once dead
Perhaps it was a gole a user in the water branch, he knew perfectly well the floater inside living things, including that of Wales
It was definitely an unknown foric And Cro rumor he had heard, and started to shake
That the holy king Cromwell could control “Void”…
