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

——Three days ago.

After temporarily repelling the monsters created by Duke Booker, the Yumenhua headed towards the southern front of the empire.

If they wanted to raid the cities of the Sunset Kingdom, they would have to get the cooperation of the Southern Border Guards - but the one who commanded the Second Legion to fight against the Sunset Kingdom was the Second Prince, whom he had never dealt with before.

Without the cooperation of the other party, it would be difficult for his warship to pass through the war zone and enter the Sunset Kingdom.

"Has the Second Legion responded?"

"No. We also sent requests to the remaining Third Army that had not yet evacuated and the Fifth Army that was still preparing, but we didn't receive any response."

After hearing this somewhat puzzling answer, Aarons also felt something was wrong.

Even though they were warned by the Second Prince because they supported the Third Prince, the Border Guard Corps should never ignore the call of an Imperial battleship.

"Keep calling them, activate all the spare frequency bands, and don't miss any information."

The magical communications in this world are similar to radio waves. As long as a specific proportion of other elements are mixed into the special thunder magic, voice communication with the corresponding target can be carried out.

The light magic used to record images is easily affected by the natural environment, so it is not suitable for direct transmission without a medium.

"Captain, there are two crew representatives who wish to speak with you."

"Representatives? Let them come over."

The captain's room of the Yumonhua is not very spacious, so ordinary crew members are not allowed to enter and exit at will.

However, Aarons did not intend to refuse the meeting with the crew representatives - the two people who specifically applied to see him must have something special to say.

After all, he was leading more than a hundred people on a suicide mission, so it was normal for the crew to have some thoughts.

"Captain, excuse me."

Not long after, two crew members walked into the command room.

From the way the two were dressed, it could be seen that one of them was an original crew member of the Yumenhua, while the other was a volunteer following Aarons.

These two men could indeed represent the rest of the crew—for the people on board now consisted of these two kinds of people.

"What do you two want to talk to me about?"

"Captain, we are sorry to bother you at this time. We just want to tell you something very important to us."

"There's nothing to do right now, just say whatever you want to say."

The original crew member looked to be in his forties, and from his aura one could tell that he must have participated in many battles in the past.

After he saluted Aarons with great respect, he slowly told him a surprising truth.

"We, the first crew members of the Yumenhua, were actually former subordinates of Marquis Moti."

"What... Did you ever participate in that war..."

"Yes, after the war ended and the Marquis handed over his military power to the Empire, we were immediately assigned to be the personal guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and later became crew members of the Yumenhua."

It seems that Marquis Moti and the Emperor had already made some arrangements for this - although most of the soldiers who participated in that war retired normally, some elite soldiers were still retained.

And now, they have chosen to become Aarons' subordinates.

"Captain... No, Master Aarons, we old fellows who have followed the Marquis through thick and thin, actually know that you are not a dull and incompetent person."

The war with Cadia and Corinth officially ended when Aarons was ten years old, so the veterans who participated in the war may indeed have known him from his past.

But Aarons doesn't think he has any merits worth following.

"Master... Oh no, Captain. The group I represent is not as powerful as them. We followed you to fight off those monsters last time... We witnessed your true abilities."

"Really? But I didn't do anything at the time."

"No, if it weren't for your command, we would all have died there... For guys like us who are neither strong nor qualified to be mercenaries, only by following you can we feel the meaning of life."

Although Aarons, a person from another world, has no intuitive feeling about force and fighting, for most people in this world, respecting the strong is their common sense.

And this strong person does not only refer to personal strength, but also includes leaders who can lead others to challenge strong enemies - but Aarons is not clear about this.

"Captain, we tell you these things only to let you know our determination. No matter what kind of battle we face next, we will obey your orders."

"For us, if we can die gloriously on the battlefield... it is much better than living in the world in a muddle."

Although the crew members were ready to die, this was not in line with Aarons' values ​​at all.

To him, every human life has special value - especially those who are stronger than himself.

"I don't think that's—"

"Captain! We received a reply to the communication! It's from the Third Legion!"

Aarons had intended to take this opportunity to express his thoughts, but before he could open his mouth, a navigator in charge of communications suddenly made a loud report.

——They finally contacted the troops on the southern front.

"Switch to public mode. I want to talk to the other party."

"Yes - this is Yumenhuahao, please reply when you hear me."

[The magic is coming again - damn it! Hey, hey! Are you the reinforcements sent by the Empire? ! The Twilight people are launching a full-scale attack on us! Now only one battalion of our Third Legion and the new recruits of the Fifth Legion are holding their ground! ]

However, when the communication was finally connected, what Aarons and the crew heard was the chaotic roar of the soldiers on the front line.

"What happened? Please report your identity and current situation in detail!"

[No time for more nonsense! Those bastards from the Second Legion all ran away at some point! If no one comes to support us, we will all be killed by the Twilight people! If you are reinforcements, come quickly! Where is the medic!? There are wounded people over there——]

Just when everyone was in shock, some chaotic communications were cut off due to strong magical interference.

——What exactly happened on the front line?

The remaining troops of the Third Legion and the new recruits of the Fifth Legion, which were in the process of changing guard, were desperately fighting against the Ximu people, but the Second Legion, which was supposed to be the main force, suddenly left the defense line?

"Captain, our repeated calls have not been answered... What do you think?"

"Something has happened... All the ships, listen up! The Yumenhua will immediately start heading for the southern border of the empire at full speed! All personnel will now enter the first level combat readiness state!"

Although the existing intelligence is completely insufficient, any hesitation in this situation could result in incalculable losses.

So Aarons decisively gave the order - no matter what happened on the front line, they had to rush to support as quickly as possible.

"Keep contacting the troops on the front line! Also tell me the estimated time of arrival!"

"At full speed—about four hours!"

"Don't worry about fuel consumption, just run all engines to maximum!"

When an ominous premonition began to appear in Aarons' heart, his mind also entered a state of ecstasy.

And this is the signal that the battle is about to begin.
