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

"That Prison Flower insulted the Marville mercenaries! Who else in this world can resist such a terrible bombardment? Just ask who else can resist it!"

After more than a thousand mercenaries were easily wiped out, the city of Marvell immediately opened the city and surrendered.

No wonder no one has dared to attack the empire head-on in the past ten years - with such super-standard weapons stationed in the empire, any ground forces are just sitting ducks.

However, after the excitement, people immediately started discussing another matter.

"...No, with our limited manpower and strength, are we going to compete with the princess for territory?"

"That Marquis is the shady guy, the Empire is just trying to cheat us out of our registration fees!"

"We'll see how they plan to explain it tomorrow."

The princess's high-profile appearance did cause a sense of frustration among the honorary nobles who participated in the war.

After all, most people didn't even have their own attendants, so they could only find mercenaries willing to cooperate and sign long-term contracts. The few contestants who had backup didn't dare to break the rules and bring many combatants, so they just brought more money and supplies.

——But the princess drove a warship over.

In the afternoon, the palace ship had already flown outside the city of Moti. However, since there was no air port for flying ships nearby, it simply anchored in the air.

At this point, regardless of whether one has any dissatisfaction or not, when one really sees the black battleship with one's own eyes, one will involuntarily feel a bit of awe in one's heart.

"…That is the absolute power that symbolizes the empire."

……

In addition to paying attention to the princess's movements, the people in Moti City were also observing Aarons' reaction.

This honorary marquis was just a well-known incompetent waste some time ago, but unexpectedly, after being summoned by the emperor, he suddenly became the princess's fiancé.

Some people said that he got the treasure left by Marquis Moti, some said that this was just a political deal between the emperor and other great nobles, and some said that the princess was just an incompetent person with no talent - in short, no one believed that Aarons had any real strength.

Of course, there were a small number of people who believed that Aarons actually had some special talent hidden all along, but they did not discuss it with others, so this view did not spread.

However, reporters soon discovered that Aarons once again left the Marquis's Palace under the escort of the Royal Guards.

"The Marquis is leaving town? Is he going to see Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"But the ship didn't land? How is he going to get on?"

"Aren't there small flying machines like that? The kind that can be operated if you know wind magic."

Since there were no interview opportunities, the reporters just followed Aarons from a distance. After seeing Aarons go out of the city gate closest to the airship, they immediately dispersed.

Whatever Aarons and the princess had to talk about, it didn't stop them from writing a draft for that evening.

"Marquis, over there is the flying car that is coming to pick you up."

Aarons certainly had no time to care about those reporters - he had received a call from the Third Prince before, saying that someone was already waiting for him on the airship.

"Is that a car? It has no wheels."

"The wheels are just decorations. People who have never ridden on one won't understand."

After leaving the city, Aarons looked at the flying car that looked like a wheelless van and had been waiting for him not far away, and the memories of his previous life came flooding back to him.

"Then you can send them here. I will go visit Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Yes. We will be waiting at the city gate, and we will escort you home after you come down."

The Royal Guards were very dedicated to their duties, so Aarons didn't want to say anything polite. Now his identity was a little sensitive, and he had to pay attention to his personal safety at all times.

"Can you please go back and ask my Karin to come over and wait with us? Karin is the wolf girl you met before."

"Yes, please don't worry."

After saying goodbye to the three bodyguards, Aarons walked to the flying car. When a female magician standing next to the car saw him, she took the initiative to bow to him.

"Good afternoon, Lord Marquis Aarons Moti. I am the pilot of the flying car responsible for taking you aboard."

“Should I ride on this?”

"Yes, because the Yumenhua has been anchored in the air, this kind of car is the only way to get on and off the ship."

Aarons didn't know magic or military, and he had no idea what the characteristics of the Empire's air battleships were. But he began to question why the Empire didn't send battleships to support it when the beast tide attacked the territory.

"This type of ship should fly very fast, right? Why didn't there appear so many during the last border beast tide?"

"Don't you know? Although the Empire's air battleships do have overwhelming firepower, the amount of magic source stones consumed in each battle is also terrifying. In the battle this morning, the five tons of magic source stones we brought were almost used up."

"I see. It's a fuel problem."

Although he is not a professional, Aarons knows that logistics support is a troublesome and complicated matter.

The magic source stone itself is a special mineral that is large in size and light in weight, and its mining and transportation are actually quite troublesome.

And if this type of ship has to spend a lot of time refueling after each attack, it really cannot be used as a quick response weapon.

"Please hold on tight, we are about to take off."

After sitting in a seat similar to that of a van, Aarons immediately felt the restraint of gravity - he felt like he was climbing at high speed in an elevator, and it didn't feel like he was in a car at all.

However, this feeling of oppression soon disappeared. The windowless carriage shook slightly for a few times and then came to a complete stop.

"We are already on board. Please follow me. Her Royal Highness the Princess is waiting for you."

Knowing that he was just a guest, Aarons did not intend to do anything unnecessary. After getting off the car, he immediately followed the female magician and moved around in the cabin.

The battleship's cabin was not as spacious as the passenger ships he had been on before. Most of the cabins and passages seemed very small. After asking the female magician who led the way, he roughly understood the reason.

"Because the magic source furnace is too large, four magic source furnaces take up half of the entire ship's space. More than half of the remaining space is used to store magic source stones and install various magic arrays, so the living area actually only has less than one-fifth of the space."

——Aarons originally thought that the interior of this ship should be a luxurious palace in the sky, but he didn't expect it to be a war machine that prioritizes efficiency above all else.

"Just go through that door and I'll meet you outside."

"Thank you."

Because the cabin door looked plain and serious, and didn't look like a princess's boudoir at all, Aarons didn't pay too much attention to it and simply rang the doorbell on the wall.

"I'm Aarons Moti, and I want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The person inside did not reply, but the hatch slowly opened by itself. When the warm light flowed out from the open door and shone on Aarons, he also saw the person he wanted to see.

"Welcome to my palace in the sky, Marquis."

——Imperial Princess, Claire Armand.
