Chapter 3: Bolstering
NOTHING greases the way quite like money, no matter the playstyle. So, how does someone explain a strategy that lets money and Mana do all the heavy lifting? Whether you define that playstyle as Lucrative, Resource Fat, or Overpowered, applying it to Mynoghra changed the empire’s landscape in the blink of an eye.
Streets and buildings with fantastical designs had suddenly appeared in the center of the forest, already warped by the effects of the Cursed Terrain. If that wasn’t bizarre enough, mountains of gold coins littered every street corner, to the point they could be considered a nuisance. Gold…a nuisance…
An unusual pair was walking through the capital, taking in the mystifying new sights.
“I daresay…the sudden increase in buildings makes me feel like I’ve come to an entirely different city,” Elder Moltar remarked, stroking his beard.
“That’s because I selected every facility as soon as it became available to me,” Takuto responded.
Ѐ ň u m̃ ă
Takuto and Elder Moltar were going around checking on the operational status of the newly built facilities and giving detailed instructions to the citizens assigned to them. Everyone secretly wondered why the king was doing his inspection only after building the facilities, but that was entirely because the construction speed happened faster than he could take action—pouring that much excess Mana into Emergency Production really sped things up.
This was why Atou had to leave her usual station at Takuto’s side to survey another facility on the city outskirts. Takuto would’ve preferred to have joined her instead, but he couldn’t prioritize his own wishes when they were short on time and personnel.

Aside from the Market, he also created the Training Grounds, Learning Institute, and Living Reeds facilities. All the facilities he could produce at Mynoghra’s current stage were already completed through his use of Emergency Production and were in full swing.
Why couldn’t he build more when he still had an abundance of gold coins? There was a strategy game reason for that.
“We need to research new technology before we can advance further,” Takuto explained to Elder Moltar. “We’ll temporarily halt production of new buildings.”
There was a hard limit to how far his cheat-like method of exchanging piles of gold coins for Mana could take him. This limit appeared in the form of Research and Technology—he had already constructed all the facilities Mynoghra could possess at its current technological level. Unfortunately, there were no means available to make it so he could instantaneously finish researching new technology. It was practically impossible for him to build the next facility without acquiring some new technology.
Ёnu m̊ а .і̊ d̀
“I see.” Elder Moltar nodded. “Since we’ve finished constructing the treehouses and other facilities, I have transferred the personnel allocated to those projects to research. Our research speed should increase exponentially now that we’ve entrusted manual labor duties, such as Food production, to the Homunculus you created, Your Majesty.”
“Good. We need the intellectuals assigned to jobs that actually use their intellect. Leave all the simple and mindless tasks to the Homunculus.”
Every building under construction, such as the Treehouses and Farms, was fully completed thanks to the excess Mana. With all the primary facilities taken care of, Takuto also started producing more of Mynoghra’s unique race, the Homunculus. He didn’t have much work for them besides managing the Farms and Food production, but that was more than valuable enough when he considered how it freed up the intellectual Dark Elves for research.
With children now being educated at the Learning Institute, it was safe to say that Mynoghra had finally reached the stage of being a sustainable empire.

“Still, I must admit my surprise at the endless amount of gold that shows no sign of decreasing even after producing so many buildings…” Elder Moltar said, his tone laced with concern as he gazed up at the haphazardly piled mountains of gold strewn carelessly around the main road extending from the city’s center. “We can only hope no one with untoward thoughts shows up.”
Ẇеb̈ n̊оvê l Е ṅǔm_å
It was only natural Elder Moltar would be disconcerted by the inestimable amount of gold that seemingly ignored the existence of “economics,” but his concerns lay more with what might happen should word leak of their wealth to the outside world.
Gold was an equally precious and highly sought-after resource in this world and Eternal Nations. Any bandits who dared venture into Mynoghra territory would meet their untimely end at the hands of the miasma oozing from the Cursed Terrain long before they reached the city. But the last thing anyone wanted was to draw more unwanted attention from the likes of the Holy Kingdom of Qualia and similar empires.
Takuto thought he could solve the problem by exchanging all the gold for Mana, but he was stuck at this bizarre impasse because he’d quickly hit whatever Mana Max storage limit his empire had at its current stage.
Endless mountains of gold exist in the country reigned over by the King of Ruin. Put like that, it sounded like the cliché setting for some sort of fairy tale or children’s story. Seeing it in person was something else altogether…especially since Takuto and his people were on the side that had to protect the gold.
“That’s why expanding our military is of urgent concern.”
Elder Moltar nodded his head extra hard in agreement with his king.

Facilities weren’t the only thing Takuto had produced using his Mana. He’d used his abundance of Mana to produce enough of Mynoghra’s elite units to make anyone antsy with anticipation.
The current defense force swarming Mynoghra’s capital consisted of the following units:
・3 Headhunting Bugs
・28 Long-legged Bugs
・15 Brain Eaters
・30 Giant Pitcher Plants
Е n̈ u m̂ ӓ
Takuto made up for his lack of basic units requiring Upkeep or specific citizen types by producing an abundance of unique units. If nothing else, Mynoghra now had the sheer numbers that would be hard to defeat if they holed themselves up within this one city.
“I must say,” Elder Moltar began, turning stark white as he reviewed the set of sinister abilities listed on the document he procured from his robe pocket, “every single one possesses powerful abilities that inflict special effects on Humanoids. I can sense their deeply rooted desire to destroy all humanity.”

“Having abilities that specifically target Humanoids is always convenient, after all…” Takuto replied nonchalantly. Mynoghra was designed to be the enemy of all Humanoids, so it made sense why its abilities and traits skewed toward anti-Humanoid effects.
At any rate, their current known potential enemies were the mostly Human Holy Kingdom of Qualia and the Elven El-Nah Alliance of Elementals. Since both were Humanoid, Mynoghra’s skewed abilities were perfect.
But it’d be foolish to think that was all there was to the world at large. It was quite possible yet another unknown force like Brave Questers’ Demon Lord Army could emerge on the playing field.
“But we’re still far from where we need to be,” Takuto said. “You and the rest of the Dark Elves have a very important role to play too. Probably the most important role when it comes to bolstering our forces.”
Е̌_ň u mа̀
“I presume you are referring to this?” Elder Moltar grinned as he pulled a single book from his robe and showed it to Takuto.
It was a makeshift book with no cover that consisted of a bundle of paper tied together with string. But they both knew that the information contained within the book was far more valuable than it appeared—a perfect case of don’t judge a book by its lack of a cover.
“The Land of the Gods is truly marvelous! Who knew that war…that killing people could be done so efficiently!” Elder Moltar mused.
What Elder Moltar held in his hand was the book Takuto and Atou had stayed up all night making by transcribing and summarizing the elements necessary for battle from various books spanning Earth’s history that Takuto had produced with Emergency Production. Anyone who read this book detailing the sins of another world from beginning to end, no matter how uneducated, would have the theoretical tools to conduct modern warfare in this land of fantasy. Takuto was exhausted from the unusual workload, but seeing Elder Moltar carry it everywhere like a priceless treasure made it worth the effort.

“However, I do wonder what kind of place the Land of the Gods is to have so many advanced war tactics that can only be described as chilling…” Elder Moltar muttered.
“Well, it’s definitely a weird place. Can’t really say whether it’s a comfortable place to live or not,” Takuto replied, purposefully being vague about it.
Ẇ еb n̄ о̇v е̃l̆ Е̂ ṅ u m а
“Hrm… Is that so?”
Takuto would only explain his former world to a certain extent, and that was it. He couldn’t really go in-depth about it after he’d already explained it away as the Land of the Gods.
“Anyways,” Takuto said, changing the topic, “how’s it going? Think you can learn from it?”
“To a certain extent, yes. We’re currently at the stage where I am discussing the contents in earnest with Gia and Emle. But since much of the information pertains to technology completely unknown to us, we won’t be able to grasp and apply it overnight…”
“That comes with the territory.”
Futuristic technologies and ideas are complex and diverse. Those aren’t things that can be immediately put to use just because someone gives you a guidebook on them. They needed to analyze and reconstruct the elements that would apply to them in this world where magic and racial traits played a huge role.

Either way, this information would undoubtedly change Mynoghra.
The forebearers of the information contained within that book had shed far more blood and left much deeper ditches piled high with bodies than the people of this world. The resentful voices of the dead whispered to them through the pages to add more friends to their ranks.
Takuto was being awfully talkative despite Atou’s absence. What kind of emotions lurked in the dark depths of his heart as he cheerily answered Elder Moltar’s questions?
Banging sounds that shook the very ground could be heard in the direction they were heading. The sounds grew louder the closer they got to the Training Grounds.
Within those grounds was the technology of death the world known as the Land of the Gods had obtained in exchange for generations of slaughter. The lid to hell quietly slid open in search of new victims with the introduction of this forbidden technology.
E n̆u̇m̊ ă_
The Training Grounds were built further away from the city center in a place that had been cleared of trees—a highly unusual sight within the Accursed Lands where the evil civilization of Mynoghra dwelled. They had set up all the basic facilities required to train soldiers there, including everything from training dummies and training gear to high ground for trainers to watch over mock battles. Sure, it was a primitive setup, but it was the perfect starting point for the Dark Elves, who’d never trained as an organized group before.
Except…this facility meant to train new recruits was being used for a different kind of training.

“Looking good out there,” Takuto said with a smile.
BANG! BANG! BANG! A cadence of loud pops and cracks shook the surrounding trees, and with each bang, the training dummies visible at the opposite end of the Training Grounds exploded, along with the ground under them. At the entrance to the Training Grounds was a group of Dark Elf Warriors commanded by Gia, holding weapons that shouldn’t exist in this world.
Weapons that shoot projectiles with the power of gunpowder to kill the enemy.
The Dark Elf Warriors were training with Dragunov sniper rifles, also known as SVD-63s.
Ёnu mа .і̃d̀
“Your Majesty! Thank you for coming all this way!” Gia, who’d been presiding over the training, glanced in Takuto’s direction and quickly called the troops to attention. “Platoon, ATTENTION!”
The platoon lined up in perfect order with their weapons as if they were a single body, rather than many separate individuals.
“Carry on. You can all return to training,” Takuto said, satisfied with their unified and disciplined greeting.
“Things seem to be shaping up well, but…how’s it going on a deeper level?” Elder Moltar asked, raking his gaze over the grounds.

“The sound and recoil are still a bit much for some…” Gia responded, trailing off a bit. “Their accuracy has steadily improved, but there’s still quite a steep learning curve going from the bow to this, so they aren’t combat-ready yet.”
Takuto and Elder Moltar followed Gia to the Training Support Tower built into a nearby giant tree to discuss the matter away from the deafening gunfire. Gia sounded slightly dissatisfied with the troops’ current skill level, especially compared to how content he was with their perfect show of order when coming to attention before their king. Was he being a bit meek and vague in his reply because of his pride? His strained expression spoke volumes about his regret and vexation about not meeting Takuto’s expectations.
Ẅ е b̃ n̂о́v̊.ӗ l Ѐṅ u mǎ
But Takuto himself was more than satisfied with the results. This was their first time using firearms, after all. Not only had they never handled a gun before, but they almost certainly hadn’t seen one either. Not in this world. Although guns fall under the same long-range weapon category as bows, that’s the extent of their similarities. Furthermore, Dark Elves didn’t have the same aptitude for bows that Elves did. Takuto was fully aware they wouldn’t master guns right away.
“Hrm,” Elder Moltar hummed, stroking his beard. “Would you mind demonstrating by shooting that target there, Gia?” He flashed a wicked grin as he looked at the gun strapped to Gia’s back.
Gia’s weapon of choice was an anti-materiel rifle, which was about a full size larger than the Dragunovs used by the rest of the Warriors. The bullet weight and velocity of anti-materiel rifles gives them exceptional long-range capability even when compared with designated sniper rifles, but that also makes them significantly more unwieldy. The recoil of this weapon is so high that it’s known to break collar bones and dislocate shoulders. Every time Gia fired a shot, he was pushed slightly backward from the force of it.
The old sage knew all too well the struggles Gia was having with the cumbersome weapon.
“Grr…” Gia cursed under his breath. “I would be honored if you watched, Your Majesty.”
Takuto pretty much picked up on the situation from the grin spreading ever wider on Elder Moltar’s face. But Gia braced the weapon in a kneeling position before he could intervene. They were currently standing on the open balcony of the Training Support Tower. Gia aimed at the target situated in the Training Grounds below.

“GHH!”
After a few beats of silence, a large boom shook the wooden floorboards, and Takuto saw the shoulder blown off the training dummy in the distance.
Gia’s accuracy was beyond acceptable. A shot like that could immobilize an Under Paladin. The only thing that left him wanting was that Gia didn’t land his shot in the center of the chest. Even so, Takuto was impressed by his ability to accurately hit the target with an anti-materiel rifle while only bracing it in an unsupported kneeling position.
Man, this gun’s seriously awesome, Takuto thought. Contrary to Gia, gritting his teeth in vexation at having missed his target, Takuto was pleased with the results.
As a matter of fact, Takuto’s real aim in training the Dark Elves in how to use sniper rifles was to make full use of their excellent night vision. As a race that navigated the night as easily as they did the day, they would have an overwhelming advantage during nighttime raids and assassinations. And judging by Captain Gia’s proficiency with the weapons, they seemed more than capable of reaching the level of skill Takuto required for his strategy.
The strategy he wanted the Dark Elf Warriors to fulfill for him involved becoming a raiding party that could unilaterally shoot the enemy under the cover of darkness.
Е ǹ u m̂_а̀ .ī d
“That’s more than I could ask for from an unsupported kneeling position,” Takuto said to Gia.
“…! I don’t deserve such praise! I will continue to improve myself!”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Takuto meant his comment as praise given in consideration for the circumstances of the shot, but Gia’s reaction oozed with chagrin. Apparently, he’d determined the comment to be a consolation for his failure. Takuto hadn’t meant it like that, but if taking it that way was going to motivate him, then there was no reason to correct it.
…After all, the people of Takuto’s old world had long surpassed the results produced by the Dark Elf Warriors.
Besides, anti-material rifles aren’t typically meant to be shot by an unsupported kneeling position. Perhaps it was because they still lacked an understanding of guns that they couldn’t comprehend the awesomeness of easily wielding something weighing more than twenty pounds.
Seeing how far Gia had come gave Takuto hope that the Warriors he was training would soon be ready and rearing for real combat too. Few living creatures could dodge bullets from a sniper rifle that could travel thousands, even tens of thousands, of feet. Barbarians with tough, stony hides like the Hill Giants and elite soldiers such as High Paladins might be able to withstand the first shot, but they could just down them in a barrage of bullets.
Еn.ùmа̃
With that in mind, Takuto was extremely pleased with the current results. Or at least he had been…
BOOOOOOOM! Takuto heard an even louder noise than gunfire come from right beside him. He looked up and shifted his gaze toward the explosive sound. There he saw Maria target practicing with an even heavier anti-material rifle—and she was firing from an unsupported standing position!
“Wow! Amazing as always, Big Sista!” Caria cheered and held out her hands to use the gun next.
“I shoot with the mind’s eye,” Maria boasted, nodding like she was very pleased with herself as she tossed her younger sister the heavy gun like a toy.

Caria caught the gun with the same ease her sister had tossed it to her and assumed the same standing position as if she were a child excitedly wielding a branch like it was a make-believe gun instead of the real deal.
Takuto was pretty sure that gun weighed more than forty pounds. They were definitely using it in a way that drastically differed from its original design.
Еn̆ ùm̂ а̀ . í d̊
Due to its absurd size, weight, and possible range, two to three-man sniper teams are required when using an anti-materiel rifle. The operating crew usually helps when firing and transporting the gun as well. The recoil produced by the cartridges employed dictates that these rifles are also designed to be fired from the prone position and usually with bipods and other accessories to help stabilize it. Using it in any other way is bound to knock over the operator or severely injure them.
Obviously, they weren’t the type of gun used for target practice.
“Do I hold it like this?” Caria asked. “Yay! I hit the target!”
The farthest dummy on the grounds below exploded into pieces, accompanied by a noise that shook the inner eardrum. The training dummy might’ve been inorganic, but it was still a harrowing sight to see it shredded by a bullet. Caria’s perfect shot pierced right through the heart. Most life forms wouldn’t even be able to register that they’d died if they were on the receiving end of that bullet.
After that, the twin sisters squeed and giggled as they happily mowed down the dummies with bullet after bullet. How could one even describe such a scene aside from calling it…extraordinary?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Of course, there was one pitiful Dark Elf present who couldn’t openly rejoice over the younger generation’s success.
Forced to witness their surreal skill, Gia’s shoulders slumped as his pride shattered into even more pieces than the dummies.
On this day, Gia, a renowned Dark Elf Warrior whose name was feared throughout the land, had suffered defeat at the hands of two little girls.
“I-I’ll continue to i-improve…”
Takuto just barely heard Gia’s wisp of a voice. His spirits had been completely crushed and stomped on.
“Th-The twins are special…”
Ŵ èb nov̌ еľ Е̃n̄u m ä
This time Takuto couldn’t help but actually offer the poor Dark Elf some words of consolation. He could sympathize with the Warrior Captain, since he was positive he’d be just as depressed in his shoes.
But there was a good reason why the twins stood a cut above the rest—they were Witches and Heroes who’d inherited Isla’s powers. Even when they weren’t in berserker mode under the full moon’s influence, they had immense strength and latent abilities. If anything, Gia was doing an amazing job keeping pace with them.

Elder Moltar was naturally aware of this, since he’d heard about the twins from Takuto, but he merely cackled at the whippersnapper’s defeat rather than encourage him. Offering unnecessary words of comfort would only hurt a Dark Elf Warrior’s pride, and more than anything else, Elder Moltar had the most terrible assurance that the youngster would snap back from this defeat even stronger.
Takuto had already shown his support twice, so he didn’t feel the need to say more when he figured Gia would work it out on his own eventually.
Men not knowing how to comfort other men seemed to plague every race in every world.

“BUT there is something that concerns me, Your Majesty…” Elder Moltar said, shifting the conversation away from Gia and his deflated pride.
“What’s that?” Takuto asked, prompting him to go on.
“This consumable projectile you call ammunition, I believe?” Elder Moltar ventured. “We’ve been using buckets of it for target practice. Won’t it eventually be a drain on our resources?”
Elder Moltar was concerned with the amount of ammo required for training the troops. Emergency Production produced everything from the guns to the ammunition. As much of an unfair advantage the mountains of gold coins from Brave Questers gave them, they’d eventually run out and no longer have anything left to exchange for Mana. He was afraid their supply would run dry in the future if they burned through too much ammunition now.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But Takuto already had the solution to that problem.
“Oh yeah, we’ve got that taken care of. You’ve collected as many shells, cartridges, and bullets as you can, right?”
Е̂ n̊ ů m.а
“Of course, Your Majesty. The entire Warrior corps collects everything on the field as soon as training is finished. Isn’t that right, Gia?” Elder Moltar turned to confirm the situation with the Warrior Captain.
“Yes, sir!” Gia responded in a resounding voice, immediately perking up and standing at attention to give his report. “We don’t let a single bullet created by His Majesty’s mighty hands go to waste!” He spoke with such fervor, he seemed to be trying to make up for falling behind the twins with sheer energy.
“Then it’s all good.” Takuto gave a satisfied nod, a wry smile turning up the corner of his lips at the Warrior Captain’s perky reaction. “Bullets, shells, and cartridges can be exchanged at a good rate as Metals, essentially making them free.”
Lead, Brass, Soft Steel—bullets, shells, and cartridges consisted of several different types of valuable Metals. And anything that had a value as Metal could be exchanged at the Market for Mana. The Market ended up treating those items as Minerals since they were a combination of materials, but that didn’t pose much of a problem.
Being able to almost completely recover the cost of ammunition felt like too much of an unfair advantage even to Takuto, who’d confirmed it worked.
From the base weapon to the consumable ammunition, guns are huge money hogs. The cost only goes up when trying to train troops to a combat-ready level, because they need to practice a lot with live rounds. This is where the costs typically swell out of control, making maintaining and Upkeeping an army that uses guns extremely difficult.

But a combination of fiendish elements in this world granted Mynoghra the power to make a gun-toting army a reality.
“Grenades and explosives cost a bit more, so we can’t use them as freely,” Takuto stated.
“Even without those, the sniper rifles and assault rifles our military is currently learning to use will undoubtedly change the battlefield as we know it,” Elder Moltar responded as he looked down at the Training Grounds with a pleased glint in his eyes. “Ours will surely be known as the Army of God. By your mighty command, Your Majesty, we have obtained unimaginable power.”
A man as wise as Elder Moltar surely understood how the untold killing power of modern weaponry could completely upend the way battle was conducted. Even Takuto agreed that they now had a devastating advantage. But the acrid memory of being outdone with Isla on his side viciously nagged at him never to let his guard down again.
Too many unknown supernatural entities existed in this world. No matter how powerful modern firearms were, there was no way to be sure they could one-sidedly annihilate entities like the Four Generals of the Demon Lord’s Army and the Demon Lord himself, who hailed from Brave Questers.
I can’t become complacent, Takuto told himself. I can’t relax and get comfortable.
Еn̆u m̊ ӑ
Besides, they had a fundamental problem that guns alone couldn’t solve.
“The world will be at the mercy of any military that has firearms. This should be enough to deter the other empires from foolishly attacking us, but…”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“But we severely lack the manpower to be a major threat…no?” Elder Moltar finished.
Mynoghra painfully lacked citizens that could join the military. Only a few dozen Warriors served under Gia’s command. Even if they added in the people who’d expressed a desire to join the Warriors after they recovered from illness and malnutrition, their numbers would barely reach one hundred. With potentially less than thirty active-duty members, they were painfully far from the numbers necessary to form a legitimate army.
“And we can’t arm the Homunculus, since they fire at random,” Takuto sighed.
“We’ll have a lot of friendly fire on our hands if we try,” Elder Moltar agreed with an even bigger sigh.
É.n̆ ūmа̊
They’d initially planned on solving their personnel problem by arming Mynoghra’s Homunculus with guns. If that had worked out, they could’ve used the Homunculus’s explosive reproduction rate to grow their army rapidly.
In Eternal Nations, weapons and the like are treated as equipable items. Takuto was hopeful because he had no issues commanding a battalion comprised of Homunculus equipped with primitive long-range weapons such as bows, but the system wasn’t going to make life that easy for him.
Homunculus were given the setting and nature of being unable to handle anything that required intelligence. Because of that, he could equip them with primitive weapons, such as swords and bows, but not more complex weaponry, such as crossbows and siege weapons. With this setting hanging over them, it was impossible for the Homunculus to wield firearms properly.
That meant they needed to find manpower elsewhere. Manpower that possessed a basic level of intelligence and would swear allegiance to the evil civilization of Mynoghra. And Takuto also had an idea of where to find just the people for the job.

“Well, at least there’s a solution,” Takuto said. “It’s about time I fulfilled my promise to you and your people.”
“Oooh! Could it be…!” Elder Moltar lit up with anticipation as Takuto finally uttered the words he’d been waiting for. Gia also perked up from where he was listening behind them.
Е ń úmа̃ .і_d̈
Takuto was alluding to his promise to welcome in the persecuted Dark Elves who were still wandering in exile. He’d always planned to make good on his word, it just got postponed due to the various chaos that had arrived in the interim.
He’d already learned through his diplomatic relations with Phon’kaven that there were a number of Dark Elf refugees taking sanctuary in their main cities. He just had to send for them. Their numbers weren’t much to write home about, but anything helped when Mynoghra was so short-handed they even tried to arm the Homunculus.
Takuto had several other ideas to work off of after that too. He’d also devised a slightly difficult-to-pull-off plan to solve their personnel shortage in one go based on the information gathered by the Long-legged Bugs, who’d been scouting the area around Dragontan. Whether it’d work or not relied on successful negotiations with Phon’kaven.
He wasn’t sure how they’d react to his proposal, but he believed it wouldn’t become too big of an issue when both parties already recognized the equal danger they were in. No one knows what the future holds, but they were still allies for now.
“Your Majesty! I have an urgent report for you!”
As Takuto was developing his strategy and thinking about how it’d play out, a Dark Elf hurriedly ascended the Training Support Tower. He seemed to have urgent news to report as he knelt before the king, a little short of breath.

“What is it?” Takuto gently prompted.
“A messenger has arrived from Dragontan. He has come bearing an official letter from Phon’kaven’s Staff Holder Pepe for the king!”
“Perfect timing!” Takuto slapped his hands together and nodded as yet another strategy hit him, bringing a smirk to his face. It was an effective and astonishing strategy that no one else would think of. “Summon Atou and the rest of the council members for an urgent meeting.”
There was much to discuss. Mynoghra’s policies might have changed on some matters, but respecting the Dark Elves’ opinions was still important to Takuto.
Now then, what matter has Phon’kaven approached us over this time?
As Takuto left the Training Support Tower in a good mood, Elder Moltar and Gia followed him, feeling deeply moved by the rapidly changing situation over the past few days and the level of command the king was taking.
