Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2469 Unless the Magic Emperor really exists!

Army Headquarters.

Senior female military officer quarters.

Around 10:30 a.m. on May 10th.

The cool night breeze, characteristic of the region in autumn, blew in through the open windows.

The room was furnished very simply, in line with the owner's usual style.

The only thing on the corner of the table was a pot of pea shooters burning with flames.

This added a touch of passion and vitality to the residence of the newly promoted army general.

The recently concluded all-army combat capability assessment was like a storm sweeping through the military, and its aftershocks have not yet completely subsided.

But for Mereoleona, she appeared unusually calm at this moment.

She had just finished taking a shower.

Her long, crimson hair cascaded over her shoulders like flowing lava.

Wearing a comfortable bathrobe, he sat at the table, his gaze fixed intently ahead.

A screen of light projected by an image Den Den Mushi splits in two.

The faces of the two young men were clearly visible.

These were her two younger brothers, whom she cared about most and was most proud of.

Fagleyn and Leobert of the Vanmillian family.

"The notice has come down."

"At 8:00 AM tomorrow, the first summit battle will take place in area RL1111."

Merleona's voice was steady and powerful, showing no sign of pre-battle tension.

Instead, it carried a subtle, almost imperceptible excitement.

On the left side of the light screen, Fagraine.

This second brother is known for his meticulousness and sense of responsibility.

At this moment, he frowned slightly and rubbed the red cross mark in the center of his forehead.

This mark symbolizes 'one who has conquered himself and has the resolve to become a king'.

It belongs to the Vanmillion family and has been passed down through generations to fulfill their vow.

He was not wearing a navy or army uniform, but a dark blue military uniform with a black trench coat.

Next, look at the collar insignia.

It clearly represents the rank of Major General in the Astral Legion.

"Big sister, things have come to this point, Leo and I can only wish you good luck in your martial arts career."

"only."

Fagrain paused, his tone tinged with concern, "Tomorrow's opponent will be no ordinary foe."

"Brother is right!"

On the right-hand screen, seventeen-year-old Leobert, already displaying youthful vigor, eagerly took over the conversation and shouted:
"Big sister, I mentioned it to you last time!"

"That Admiral Sakazuki, he's no ordinary admiral!"

"President Edward told me explicitly that he is the Star Core Purgatory Martial God!"

"And the God of War is a being above the Admiral, the true supreme fighting force of the World Government!"

"Of the five current generals in the Army Headquarters, only 'Crocodile' Crocodile is not a war god!"

"That's why so many people challenge him!"

"You've really picked the toughest bone!"

Merleona listened to her two younger brothers' worried words.

A hearty smile spread across his face.

The flames burning in his eyes almost seemed to overflow through the image.

"My initial choice to challenge Admiral Akainu was because I heard that he was one of the World Government's top fire-type experts."

"If we shrink back now because we know the other side is stronger."

"Does she even deserve to be called the 'Uncrowned and Undefeated Lioness'?"

"The stronger the opponent, the brighter my flames will burn!"

"To witness a higher level of firepower is something every flame user dreams of!"

Seeing that the eldest sister looked eager to try.

Fagraine in the picture shook his head helplessly, but he could understand her thoughts.

That's just their fiery nature.

Even if it means being a moth drawn to a flame, it will strive to become a blazing moth that devours the flames completely.

So he decided to change the subject temporarily and chat about their recent situations to lighten the mood.

"Alright, we understand your determination, big sister."

Faglan adjusted his posture.

The 'fire spirit' Salamander, perched on his shoulder, was resting with its eyes closed in the form of a mini fire dragon.

"Let's talk about our situation."

"The framework of the Thirteenth Ophiuchus Star Group is finally up and running."

As he spoke, a hint of weariness appeared on his face, but his eyes were bright and alert, suggesting that he had a very fulfilling life.

"Training of magic knights, deployment of magical puppets, and testing of new magical equipment"

"Everything started from scratch, and everyone was incredibly busy."

"However, under Lady Princia's leadership, our work is progressing smoothly."

When the eleventh generation Magic Emperor, now the Legion Commander, was mentioned, Fagraine's tone immediately became respectful.

“I also recently received a message from the Zu world.”

"Under President Conrad Leto's leadership, the Clover Federation has gradually stabilized its political situation, and people's livelihoods are rapidly recovering."

"Thinking about this, I feel that all the busyness I'm doing right now is worthwhile."

"The emergence of a world government has indeed played a very positive role in unifying forces and eliminating various wars."

Upon hearing Fagleen finish speaking, Leobert immediately puffed out his chest and, with youthful pride, said:

"Sister, brother, the talents of us from Vanmilian are pillars of strength wherever we are!"

"I've secured my position as the leader of the 'Crimson Lion King' guild!"

"Those guys from the Zero Magic and Falmat worlds were initially a little suspicious of me because I'm young!"

"Now, they've all been subdued with their strength!"

"Also, I recently passed the Mage Association's combat strength assessment and was rated as an A-rank mage."

But when the topic came up, he lost his smugness and his tone became serious.

"However, there's nothing to be proud of."

"Among the twelve magic knight orders directly under the Mage Association, I am the only captain. Zack, the captain of 'Violet Orca', Chuluk, the captain of 'Fire Sprite', and Gish, the captain of 'Water Sprite', are all A-rank."

"The other eight team leaders are all genuine S-rank."

"It is said that only those who reach the S-rank possess combat power comparable to military generals."

"So I need to work harder and raise my strength to S-rank as soon as possible."

At this point, Leobert clenched his fist with unwavering determination.

"We must never disgrace the Vanmillian family and the Crimson Lion King!"

Merleona and Faglene on the two virtual screens nodded in approval.

"That's right, that's right!"

At this moment, Leobert suddenly became excited.

"I have more good news!"

"A few days ago, Peremena formally challenged Jack, the leader of the 'Earth Elf' group!"

Merleona and Fagraine showed interest.

Peremena.

The former earth spirit possessed by the Diamond Kingdom was incredibly powerful, no less so than Fagraine, so they were all very familiar with him.

"That Jack is from the Zero Magic World," Leobert explained excitedly.

"Pelemena displayed S-rank earth magic skills, decisively defeating her opponent and seizing the position of captain!"

"This is such a great honor for the people of the Black Grass World!"

"You guys do the math, nine out of the twelve regimental commanders are our men!"

"Only the Water Sprite Team, Fire Sprite Team, and Wind Sprite Team remain in the Zero Magic World."

"Moreover, among these three groups, only the Wind Elf Group's leader, Karina, is an S-rank, and they also have a very powerful Thunder Bird familiar."

He lowered his voice slightly as he spoke, his voice tinged with the joy of his family's growing power.

"The Mage Association is now basically dominated by our Black Grass World."

"Even the second-generation president, Edward, is our twentieth generation Magic Emperor."

“The magicians who joined the Zero Magic World and the Falmat World a few years ago.”

"Although they worked hard to establish the association in its early stages."

"But now most of the power is concentrated in the management and the two magic academies."

"However, they have that 'God of Void Magic,' Brimir."

The mere mention of that name weighed heavily on Leobert's mind.

President Edward told him that.

There is no one in the entire Black Grass World who can rival Brimir in strength.
