The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

William Booker actually didn't want to come to the border.

In his eyes, neither the princess nor Aarons were important characters - even if these two people really had some special powers, they were meaningless in the face of absolute numbers.

The reason why the strong in this world cannot rule the weak at will is because pure power has its limits.

Whether it is physical or mental strength, once it is exhausted, it will be impossible to continue fighting. No matter how powerful a level 5 warrior is, he still needs to eat and sleep.

Those who have crossed the boundary and reached level six are fools who have taken the wrong path - giving up the most important power in exchange for other things is simply meaningless.

"Those guys don't understand the power of wealth, so they will never be my opponent."

What can money buy? The battleship he owns says it all.

Precisely because the Empire possesses such powerful weapons, neither the Cadians who once invaded the Empire nor the Evening People who constantly harassed the Empire's borders in the south dared to launch a full-scale attack on the Empire.

As long as you have enough wealth, you can possess such power - the firepower of this battleship is even more powerful than that of the Yumenhua, which serves as the princess's palace.

"Master, we have entered the border area and will be able to land at the airport in half an hour."

"No, tell the bridge that we should go to Moti City first... Don't worry about the regulations. I just want to show those guys our strength."

This [Golden Bridge] can easily tear apart a 5,000-man ground corps. And the external armor specially reinforced with magical beast materials can also resist the fourth or even fifth level of magic bombardment.

Even if the opponent has deployed magic cannons that can fire into the air in advance, this ship can locate and destroy it at the fastest speed.

"Also, have the First Squadron get ready. Let them disembark immediately after landing. Their mission is to investigate what weapons Aarons Moti used last time, and find a way to seize some if possible."

"Yes, sir. What about the second brigade?"

"They are the main force in attacking that base. Let them rest now."

He brought 600 soldiers with him, 800 if the crew were included - most of them had mid-level third-level strength, and more than a hundred had reached the fourth level.

This is just a part of my strength. As long as I am willing, hundreds or thousands of people will come to support me.

And what about that Aarons Moti?

……

"You guys step back, I need to rest for a while."

Because he had a premonition that this journey would be very boring, William didn't plan to waste too much energy.

All he had to do was to crush that overconfident marquis step by step and let everyone know the true power of the imperial nobles.

"Report! There seems to be something in the air... something is approaching us quickly!"

"In the air? If it's a flying monster, use the ship's guns to scare it away."

Why would such a small matter make these servants so panicked? William opened the curtains with some annoyance and looked towards the dim night sky.

——There is nothing in the sky except stars. There is nothing to be afraid of.

[Bridge report! An unknown object is... No! That thing is moving so fast... so fast!]

When the crew's frightened voices came from the ship's radio, William finally realized that something was wrong.

At this moment, a strange dark red glow suddenly flashed past the window, leaving a clearly visible trail.

Something just brushed past the battleship!

"Is it a high-level magical beast? Transfer all the magic power to the defense array first!"

William's command was timely and accurate.

When you have no idea of ​​your opponent's detailed situation and cannot escape at will, the best strategy is of course to prioritize defense.

According to common sense, as long as the opponent launches an attack, he will definitely reveal a flaw.

「That thing is coming back again! Wait, it looks like it’s going to… ahhhh, run—」

"What's going on?! Answer me! Hey!"

However, before William's order could be executed, a disturbing vibration suddenly spread throughout the battleship.

The bridge commander, who was originally in contact with William through the radio, let out a shrill scream and then there was no sound again.

"Damn it! Hurry up and get some people to check it out--"

Just as William was yelling at his men, there was a sudden explosion at the rear of the ship - then the battleship shook violently, causing everyone to fall to the ground.

The battleship was attacked!

[Report, report! Magic Source Furnace No. 1 has been destroyed! It was light... a strange red light! It went straight through the outer armor and the hull, and hit the Magic Source Furnace! ]

"What?! How can such a thing be——"

[Waaaaa! The bridge is... it's completely burned! There's lava everywhere... Help, help! ]

What on earth just happened?

In just a few tens of seconds, this warship that should have been invincible actually suffered two consecutive attacks?

Moreover, the damaged parts were the most critical bridge and magic source furnace! The warship, which had lost control and power, would soon fall.

"Asshole! Someone come and protect me! Even if this ship crashes, nothing can happen to me!"

"Yes! Open that ancient scroll quickly!"

The warship, which was not functioning properly, had begun to tilt, but William's men used the ancient magic scrolls in time to protect the Duke's heir.

Even if the battleship's magic source furnace exploded when it crashed, this ancient magic should be able to withstand the impact of spiritual power. After the magic shield was set up, the people hiding inside finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the hell is going on! How can a monster be so powerful?!"

[Of course it's impossible, because the one attacking you is not a monster at all. ]

The cabin broadcast, which had been completely silent, suddenly sounded at this moment. However, the female voice coming from it did not belong to anyone in the Booker family.

[My apprentice was taken care of by you last time, William Booker... so now she is going to seek revenge on you personally.]

"Who are you? You damned bastard! How dare you attack the Duke's heir... Tell me your name!"

[There's no need for that. After all, you're going to be dead soon - lock onto the location with the strongest magic fluctuations, and fire both railguns at the next turn!]

When the female voice on the radio suddenly stopped, William Booker saw the being approaching him from the tilted window.

Just like a meteor that brought disaster, the pitch-black giant wing that was rushing towards him at high speed, dragging a dark red glow, suddenly opened its huge mouth connected to purgatory and spewed out two streams of hot torrents like lava.

Then, the light mercilessly penetrated, melted, and devoured everything it touched, exploding into a gorgeous scarlet flower at the end of its flight.

“What… is…?”

——And this was the last thought of the Duke's heir in his short life.
