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

"Huh... The operation is over. The entire ship has returned to standard operation and started to increase its altitude."

Although Aarons had been pretending to be relaxed with Kuran in the communication, he actually didn't feel that relaxed.

In order to improve shooting accuracy, the White Bird actually landed under the clouds after the battle began - and because the stealth effect of the fog illusion might be reduced by shooting, Aarons had to use his mental power to precisely control every part of the ship's hull.

So after the battle, his consumption was actually the highest among everyone.

"All departments, report the situation."

[It has been confirmed that the enemy is retreating from different directions. Only about one-third of the personnel have been evacuated from the battlefield.]

[Conventional ammunition has been exhausted. Even if all the existing reserve materials are used up, only 20% can be replenished. However, the thermal fluid required for the railgun is still sufficient, so no replenishment is needed for the time being.]

Although the firepower just poured out was indeed very fierce, in fact, Shiratori only had so much ammunition reserves.

The only flaw of this aerial carrier is that it cannot hold sufficient supplies - even if there are streamlined and complete processing equipment on board, various raw materials cannot be generated out of thin air.

Therefore, after each battle, White Bird needs to replenish supplies.

"...Contact Duke Oufei and ask them to provide us with the supplies we need. Claire, I'll leave the negotiations with the people down there to you."

[Understood——I also have some things I want to investigate on the ground.]

Her Royal Highness the Princess will not return to the ship for a while, but with No. 1 to assist, Aarons is not too worried that there will be any problems with Clary.

He must rest now to recover his mental strength.

"Teacher Jiangyue, I have some ideas... I will write some materials and give them to you later, and we can discuss it then."

"Okay. You should go back and rest. We won't disturb you."

Aarons' fatigue was clearly visible, so the women's group would not make any demands on him at this time.

However, after Aarons left the command room, the expressions of everyone, including the navigators, became much more serious.

"...They said they wanted to lighten his burden, but when the fight really started, we had more free time than him."

"There's nothing we can do about it, Miss Yang. Only the Marquis has the ability to integrate information and conduct mental command... Miss Spider, could you please tell me how much redundancy this ship has now?"

"At least 30% of the hull structure alone is not in use, and the output of the Star Vein Furnace has always been less than half, so there are a lot of system redundancies."

The combat capability of this ship should not be just like this - if the firepower and defense were better, Aarons would not have to worry so much when commanding.

It is precisely because he now has to consider how to hide the hull and guard against attacks that his mental energy is consumed extra.

"The technical team must work out a plan as soon as possible. We cannot let the young master continue to be so tired. Pilot the flight, start taking turns to rest. Except for those on duty, everyone else, follow me to the conference room."

Xia Ye took most of the navigators away, apparently planning to conduct an emergency training. Jiang Yue stayed in the command room and began to browse the data recorded in the previous battle.

"Ms. Manta, go accompany the Marquis. You should be able to help him recover his mental strength. Besides, he is very tired now, so it's best not to do anything extra."

"I will. Pay attention."

Although Yalu is not used to human behavior patterns, she will never go against Aarons' will.

As long as Aarons made it clear that she refused, she wouldn't do anything extra.

"We must use all our resources... Let's make some emergency plans first."

In order to eliminate the unnecessary burden on Aarons, Jiangyue has been looking for a suitable method.

……

"What's wrong, Mr. Captain? Are you not used to talking to Yu?"

Compared to the anxiety in heaven, people on earth are not so nervous.

The powerful attack that came out of nowhere defeated the armies of the two princes and thwarted their plan to invade the Dukedom of Orpheus - and the surviving soldiers of the Duke of Orpheus got the opportunity to be grateful for being alive.

However, this only applies to ordinary soldiers who are unaware of the situation.

"No, this... Your Highness, you, weren't you..."

Kuran had witnessed Klia's awakening with his own eyes...so he couldn't be sure now whether the woman in front of him, who had folded the large mechanical wings on her back and did not hide her iconic slightly curly black-gold hair and bright and beautiful appearance, was the princess he once knew.

"Well, that was just a temper tantrum. I have the right to be angry, right?"

"Really... No I mean, this will be fine."

Feeling that he couldn't delve too deeply into this topic, Kuran shut up.

He actually had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, and some important information he wanted to pass on to Aarons - but the princess in front of him was obviously different from before, and he didn't know whether he should take the initiative to speak.

"Your Highness, the Marquis said that the negotiation will be decided by you."

"Oh, I see. Thank you for your reminder, Aili."

"Although it is indeed touching that you remember my name, it is more convenient to just call me Number One."

Since Number One used to be a follower serving Keliya, she has not forgotten her real name, Keliya.

But now, a code name with no personality may be more suitable for her since she often needs to carry out secret missions.

"Then Captain Kulan, you... ahem, sorry, I was too emotional just now. Captain, please take me to see the commander of the fortress."

"Ah... As you command, please come this way, Your Highness."

Seeing that Klia's high spirits were gradually subsiding, Kuran, who was originally a little nervous, also relaxed a little.

Number One followed the two of them silently, observing the situation inside the fortress.

"In fact, Duke Oufei did not require that this fortress must be defended at the beginning. It was His Royal Highness the Third Prince who determined that stationing troops here could buy more time, so he sent troops here."

"Oh? Was it Luo Lan's idea?"

"It's like this. His Excellency the Duke is now preparing a secret weapon that can turn the situation around in one fell swoop... Although I don't think this is very reliable, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has decided to trust him."

This matter cannot be explained in just a few words, so Keliya did not comment much, but just followed Kuran into the fortress commander's room.

——However, after entering the room, Claire saw two unexpected figures.
