"Teleportation complete. The Merson III has arrived at the battlefield. Who is calling for the warship?"

Judy's voice immediately rang out again:

"This is the 8th Legion of the Federation's Demon Tide Extermination Army, currently carrying out a Level 3 Demon Tide Extermination mission codenamed 051776. We have encountered an unexpected event involving the mutation and evolution of the Demon Tide Lord, and therefore request support. The target is located approximately 400 meters from your ship at the 2 o'clock position. We request your ship to carry out firepower to destroy it."

"Melson III received. Target located and locked. Firepower destruction operation to commence. Nearby friendly forces are requested to take cover in accordance with the 'Guide to Naval Gun Warfare Coordination'."

The alloy warship in the air responded quickly, rapidly turning its hull to adjust its angle, positioning its side against the three giant Palico bears to allow more of its cannons to fire.

The three-headed giant Palico bear showed obvious panic after the warship appeared. Its first reaction was to try to escape, but how could four legs outrun something flying in the sky?

So the three giant Pallas's Bears tried to fight back, their two tongues constantly spraying acidic breath, their rooster heads clucking incessantly, and their paws grabbing large rocks and throwing them into the air.

But none of it worked.

The three-headed giant Palladium, which stands taller than a 10-story building when upright, is quite large, but compared to an aerial warship that is over 120 meters long, it is still just a small stray dog ​​in front of a car.

Regardless of the ability or magic, only when the numerical values ​​are similar do you need to compete on mechanics; if the numerical difference is too large, you will be crushed no matter what mechanics you use.

The three-headed giant Palico had previously overwhelmed human mages like Judy with its superior stats, but now it's being crushed by one of the pinnacles of human magical technology.

All its struggles and counterattacks were completely ineffective against the magical shield of the airship; it couldn't even scratch off a single speck of paint after trying for a long time.

Then came the simultaneous firing of the ship's guns, with the six main guns and 36 secondary guns on one side of the USS Merson III unleashing their firepower on the three giant Palico bears.

These weapons don't have any fancy magical effects; they simply compress magic and then fire it out in the form of cannons... simple and brutal, yet very efficient.

"Well..."

The three giant Pallas's rooster head crowed one last time before falling completely silent.

The dark green scales that once troubled the mages were no different from newspaper shells in the face of the naval cannon fire. In just a few seconds, the entire three-headed giant Palico was reduced to nothing.

"Wow... Is that our Allen Federation's magic warship? I've only ever seen it in picture books describing that war before, this is the first time I've ever seen one in person... It's so cool!"

Yulia and Pancake had already returned to Emerald and the others when the magic warship appeared, because there was no need to film the following scenes up close, and it was too dangerous.

"uh-huh."

Emery held her head high with great pride, extremely pleased with herself.

The name "Melson III" clearly indicates that this magical warship is also a weapon of war manufactured by the Melson family. The entire Federation Army has a total of seven such magical warships, all named with "Melson" as a prefix followed by a numerical designation.

There's no way around it; these magical warships are simply too expensive. Even the federal government would struggle to afford to buy and maintain them. If the federal government were to cover all the costs, the taxes that federal citizens are currently paying would likely double.

Therefore, these seven magical warships were essentially sold and given to the Federation Army by the Melson Group, with subsequent maintenance completely free of charge. The condition was that all warships must be named after Melson, and the captains must be members of the Melson family or people recommended by the Melson Group.

"Speaking of which, these magical warships have a deep connection with you, Emeryte."

Julia had clearly thought of this as well, and looked at Emerald with great interest:

"Can I go up and take a look later? I've been able to fly for quite a while, but I've never ridden in such a large aerial vehicle before..."

It's obvious that Yulia is very curious about the magic warship, even itching to get in touch with it.

"Hum~"

Such a good opportunity shouldn't be wasted without teasing her, so Emery first gave a rather frivolous laugh, then reached out to touch Julia's leg:

"You know what? Back when we were at the Federal Noble Girls' Academy, if those upperclassmen and underclassmen wanted to visit the magic warship, they'd have to sleep with me for at least a week... Julia, how many nights are you planning to sleep with me?"

"Huh? This...this...this?"

Yulia actually hesitated. She really liked the magic warship, and she seemed less resistant to sleeping with Emerald.

There was nothing she could do; Emerald would tease Julia about this topic all the time, and Julia had long had a premonition that she would eventually be won over by Emerald.

"If it's just sleeping and nothing else, it's not bad..."

After hesitating for several seconds, Yulia finally made a rather self-deceiving decision and decided to tell it.

Just kidding!

But Emerald suddenly withdrew her hand and pinched Julia's cheek again:

"You're my friend, so visiting the magic warship is a piece of cake, right? You're not really planning to sleep with me, are you? Aren't you a hypocrite?"

"you……!"

Even if Julia wasn't good at using her brain, she could tell at this moment that she had been bullied and teased by Emeryte once again. Her face immediately puffed up into a purple swollen shape, and she even dodged her foot.

"Hmph, Emery is such a bad guy!"

Miss Julia, who was not good at swearing and even less willing to hit Emerald, could only complain like this and make a face at Emerald.

While they were chatting and laughing, the battle was completely over. The three-headed giant Palico bear was completely destroyed by the salvo of the ship's cannons, leaving not even a trace of it.

The Merson III did not leave immediately, but hovered in the air. Then a beam of light shot down from below the ship and carried the people out.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be around 50 years old. He had the rank of senior colonel on his shoulder, and his hair was a light pink color, somewhat similar to that of Emery.

"Hello, I am……"

After receiving quick treatment from the medic, Judy rushed back to the front lines and immediately greeted the man with a smile, wanting to shake his hand.

The pink-haired man ignored Judy and walked straight to Emerald, bowing slightly and politely greeting her.

"I've met the eldest lady."

"Oh dear, oh dear, how many times have I told you, Uncle Enoch, you're practically my elder, just call me Little Ellie~~"

Amelie quickly jumped off the giant crab, curtsied while lifting the hem of her skirt, her smile both obedient and mischievous.

"It's fine to call you Little Ellie now, but you are, after all, the eldest daughter of the main branch of the family. You still need to show proper etiquette every time we meet."

Enoch laughed heartily and gently patted Amelie's shoulder:

"I watched your movie too, and I thought it was pretty good. I reckon your entrepreneurial trial won't be too difficult, Ellie, so I'll congratulate you in advance."

After saying that, he looked at Yulia, who was peeking around curiously, and generously extended his hand:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Julia... Little Ellie's business plan seems to revolve around you, and I hope you can help her realize her dream!"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course I'll do my best, Uncle Enoch!"

Julia seemed very excited; she shook Enoch's hand up and down as she spoke:

"Emerite's business plan aligns with my dream! Helping Emeralite achieve her business plan is also fulfilling my own dream!"

"Haha, that's good."

Enoch smiled again, then looked at Emerald with a more serious expression:

“I know you’re doing this for a movie, Ellie, but it’s too dangerous and reckless for someone of your status to be on the front lines. In the future, let the staff handle these kinds of things.”

"Yes, I know, Uncle Enoch, but don't worry too much."

Emerald nodded obediently at first, then chuckled proudly:

"As a daughter of the Melson family, I am quite familiar with the equipment and combat capabilities of the Federation Army. A mere Level 3 magic tide is really not dangerous. Senior Judy has always taken good care of me. This time, it was just an unfortunate accident."

"Oh?"

Enoch then looked at Judy, whose face had been quite pale:

"So you're the young lady's classmate? Why didn't you say so sooner? It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Enoch Melson, a senior colonel in the Federation Army, and the captain of the Melson III."

"...It's a pleasure to meet you, Captain Enoch. I am Judy, Judy Bessie."

Judy nearly choked on her breath, forcing a smile as she shook hands with Enoch, inwardly cursing him vehemently.

Well... you looked down on me because I was the vice commander of the punitive expedition and a major, but you became so polite to me after finding out I was Emerald's classmate? I... damn it, sometimes I really envy Emerald so much, she's just born to win.

Therefore, I must become a general!!!

Judy's desire for power and status grew stronger, and she realized once again that her status as Emery's senior was more useful than that of the general's daughter in many situations.

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Enoch decided to leave. After all, the magic warship had many missions to complete. If it weren't for Ameliete being there, the Melson III wouldn't have stayed; it would have left immediately after killing the three giant Pallet Bears.

"Little Ellie lives in Locke City now, right?"

After greeting Judy and the sickly colonel he had contacted via the communication device, Enoch ignored them and looked at Emerald once more:

"Want to take my boat back? The wilderness is quite dangerous, and teleportation magic isn't very convenient to use."

"Of course, no problem. I was just thinking of taking my friends to visit Ship III."

Emery readily agreed, and even deliberately put her arm around Julia's waist in public:

"Some people have been eagerly waiting for this for a long time."

Yulia, unusually, did not struggle. She was overjoyed after hearing that she could visit the ship and was now full of anticipation. Even if Emery had only put her arm around her waist, or even if she had taken the opportunity to do something more outrageous to her, she probably wouldn't have reacted.

"...Little Ellie, you're bringing your friends on board for a tour again? You haven't changed at all, haha!"

Enoch raised an eyebrow with a slightly odd tone, then burst into hearty laughter:

"Then come on over... Speaking of which, the young men on the ship asked me the other day if the young lady would no longer bring her classmates to play after graduation, and they all expressed their regret."

After all, Emerald and her classmates were all fair-skinned, beautiful, and hot heiresses. Even if the crew members knew they had no chance, it was still good to take a second look.

Julia, however, suddenly snapped out of her daze and realized the hidden meaning in Enoch's words. She couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at Emerald:

"Oh... so you weren't just kidding me, Emerald. You actually tricked your upperclassmen and underclassmen into bed with the promise of visiting the magic warship?"

"Cough cough cough cough..." xN

A chorus of coughs immediately erupted around them, and everyone looked somewhat speechless... How could they actually say something like that out loud? It's enough to just keep it to yourself.

"You stupid!"

Emery was unusually annoyed. She pinched Julia's chubby leg hard and stomped on Julia's foot before heading towards the warship with Marcy and Viliana.

"...Hey?"

Yulia could only stick out her tongue and give everyone an apologetic look:

"I'm so sorry, I was just talking nonsense for a moment, please don't believe me! Emery is actually a really good person, beautiful and kind-hearted, she would never use any means to trick girls into bed..."

Yulia tried really hard, but in the end she couldn't keep up the story.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders around when they were talking, so no one said anything more about it in the end.

Amelie and her group formally bid farewell to Judy and boarded the Melson III.

Chapter 119 Recalling the Federation's past, when its troops besieged the city, full of vigor and high spirits.

The 120-meter-long aerial magic warship is really cool from the outside. Even girls who see it often can't help but want to go inside and take a look. Yulia was like that, as were many of Amelie's previous classmates.

But once they actually boarded the ship, many people were slightly disappointed.

Because this is a warship, the energy and combat components of the entire ship occupy a large amount of space, leaving very little room for personnel to move around. The living conditions on board can be described as harsh.

When Amelie first boarded the magic warship, she even recalled the retired nuclear submarine she had visited in a naval museum on Earth in her previous life. The bed inside was so narrow that one could only sleep on their side, which still left a deep impression on her.

Of course, the conditions on a magic warship are better than those on a submarine, but only by a small margin. Even the captain's cabin in Inott is very small, not even as big as the bathroom in Amelie's house.

"Hello, Miss!"

"Idiot! That's so tacky. You should have greeted her with 'Good day, Miss!'"

"Oh, oh, oh... May I ask how you are, Miss?"

Emery was clearly not a first-timer on the Melson III, and had probably been there quite a few times. Almost all the crew members knew her and greeted her warmly as soon as they met.

"Everyone has worked hard. Keep up the good work, and you can have some fun during your vacation."

Emery waved back generously and smiled as she offered a few words of encouragement.

Upon reaching the ship's mess hall, the most spacious area, Emerald, amidst the expectant gazes of the crew, opened her storage space:

"Well, this trip to the ship was a bit out of my plan, so I didn't prepare any special gifts for everyone. These are just some things I use myself, so I'm giving them to you to help you pass the time."

"Great!"

"This is fantastic! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

The officers and soldiers on board immediately cheered.

Yulia curiously went over to take a look and found that it wasn't what she had thought—Amelie had given her socks and such as rewards—but rather some entertainment items.

There are fashion magazines, newsweeklies, picture books, stress-relieving toys, and even a few magical devices that can play movies and short dramas.

"The magic warship looks cool, but carrying out missions on board is actually very hard work."

Seeing that Julia seemed a little confused, Amelie explained to her with a smile:

"Often, these officers and soldiers will be unable to land for dozens of days or even months during a single patrol mission. They are well paid and have no shortage of money, but there is a severe lack of entertainment on board. Even if they bring some entertainment products with them when they board the ship, they will be tired of them after a few months."
