Naval Gacha System: It's Time To Monopolize The Seven Seas!

Chapter 143: | 143 | Preparation for the Finale

In the Magus Tower of the Colonial Dominion of Terra, the Viceroy walked through the gothic halls with furrowed eyebrows. The air was tense, as though war was amidst the horizon. It wasn't wrong, but it also wasn't right.

After all, it wasn't as though war was becoming inevitable by the minute. It had already started, and the Colonial Dominion of Terra was losing. Its territories were being liberated one after another.

They were returning to square one, and the Viceroy of Terra wasn't happy. His Sovereign had called upon his runic communicator and reminded him that attention was being pointed at the Colonial Dominion of Terra.

The emergence of an unexpected underdog, the United Navy, was attracting unwanted attention from several factions outside the Ferus Sea. Even foreign Colonial Dominions were thinking of intervening in the instability of the sea region.

'We need to defeat the United Navy. Otherwise, the Colonial Dominion of Terra will fall. I will be excommunicated and my family will be dishonored.' He thought to himself while clenching his fist.

The Colonial Dominion of Terra should have been the farthest from the Frontier. But why was it the first Colonial Dominion who's about to fall?

'It's also because of that dragoness!' The Viceroy felt anger after remembering what the dragoness had done to the southern colony. They received reports that the Dragon of the United Navy turned their military barracks into a wasteland, killing thousands of soldiers.

Naturally, this caused the morale of the military to almost collapsed. After all, what could they do against the Dragon of Liberation? The one that destroyed an entire colony's military strength on her own with remarkable ease.

Facing against her was akin to fighting against destiny or death. There was simply nothing they could do against her. Or so they thought... The Arch Magus appeared out of nowhere during the military meeting and told them that he had an idea regarding the dragoness.

And so, the Viceroy planned to meet with the Arch Magus and question him. He wanted to know how they would defeat the legendary dragon originating from the Frontier.

It didn't take long before he arrived at the end of the hallway. Before him stood a gigantic door, but as he touched its smooth surface, it moved as though it was light as a feather

The gothic doorway creaked as what emerged before him was the old decorations and statues scattered in a circular room. In its center was a table made of magical wood and a long chair built from the ashes of a Sea Leviathan.

On the ominous chair sat the Arch Magus of the Magus Tower, Gunther. He gazed at the Viceroy walking towards him and waved his hand, causing a chair to appear out of nowhere.

"What may be the reason of your visit, Sir Viceroy?" The Arch Magus calmly asked while the Viceroy sat on the chair and crossed his leg with the same furrowed expression as before. He lightly tapped the table and replied.

"The military has been following what you desire, Arch Magus. I need to know how you plan to handle the dragoness. I don't wish to be ignorant, nor am I naive enough to continue being as such." The Viceroy swiftly stated his reason to the Arch Magus.

"It appears that the Sovereign has become intrigued with our pitiful circumstance. Nonetheless, he trusts us enough to handle the problem ourselves. And we must do so, no matter what." Gunther stated to the Viceroy.

"Sir Viceroy, as the Sovereign has called for you. I shall respect his wishes and let you be less ignorant of our plan." Finally, the Arch Magus was about to reveal some details about the strategy against the Dragon of Liberation.

The Viceroy felt curious as his ears perked up, wanting to hear about the strategy of the Magus Tower. He wondered what kind of mystical things they planned to do to take care of the dragoness.

"Our plan is fairly simple. Our enemies can be separated into two forces. The United Navy and the Dragon of Liberation. The United Navy is strong, that is for sure. But with the Dragon of Liberation, they are unstoppable."

"In order to have a chance in the finale, we must take care of the Dragon of Liberation before fighting against the United Navy." The Arch Magus first stated the rationale of the strategy.

"But how will you take care of the dragoness, Sir Magus? She has a body almost rivalling that of a Sovereign, and complete authority over particular elements. She had gone much more stronger compared to herself in the Frontier."

The Viceroy expressed his uncertainty in fighting against the Dragon of Liberation. No matter what spell they cooked up. Unless a Sovereign emerges with their real body, they wouldn't stand a chance.

If the normal could have dealt with the dragon, she would have become nothing more but scattered treasures.

"That is correct. She is much stronger than us. No matter what we do, we wouldn't be able to defeat her." Unexpectedly, the Arch Magus was in agreement with the Viceroy's uncertainty. But he immediately changed his stance and continued. "But who said that he would be fighting her?"

"Eh?" The Viceroy felt confused, wondering what the Arch Magus meant. How could they deal with the United Navy without defeating the dragoness? She considers the heretical-organization as a part of her den.

She would defend it as though was protecting her mystical treasures.

"Fighting in an unstoppable battle is foolish." The Arch Magus remarked and continued. "So, instead of fighting, we must adopt another strategy."

"Our second option would be to separate them with one another. Without her, the United Navy would be on its own. If we manage to defeat the United Navy, even if we faced the wrath of the Dragon of Liberation, it would still be our victory." He calmly explained to the Viceroy.

"The Magus Tower is creating a spell that would do the job of separation. After that, your military and my Magi will attack the remaining of the United Navy in our full power." Gunther stood up from his seat and walked towards the balcony.

"But remember, Sir Viceroy. At that moment, death will have its clock ticking above us."
