"Where is the person who caused the shipwreck?" Seeing Hai Long lying down collectively, Star asked with a straight face.
"It's me. It has nothing to do with my tribe." Trastra responded immediately.
If he and his children stepped on the dragon king's tail, it would be enough for a dragon to bear the responsibility for this kind of thing. Even though Star is not a dragon king at first glance, he might be able to do such a thing. In its eyes, it is not the same as the unfathomable dragon king.
Nowhere to go.
"Where's the boat? I don't think it's enough to just sink the boat."
"I thought about waiting for the people inside to drown and salvage it, but... the boat was not found for a while. At that time, I was concerned that there were a lot of negative energy things inside, so I didn't dare to get too close, so I lost it."
"Put your head over here!"
Star touched Trastra and checked the memory, and could only admit that what he told was the truth.
"Mobile your tribe to look for it, and - take me to your sea dragon's treasure house." Although there was also a customary robbery, Costa actually came here for another purpose this time.
While Terra Stella had to obey and go back to make arrangements, Star took out the map from his small satchel and looked at it.
This is not a map used in the human world, but an ocean map that was obtained from Wakagihime and is mainly about the ocean.
Although they already knew the so-called plug-in location of the protagonist of this otherworldly work pointed out by Wakagagi, the fairies who did not have the means to go to sea were helpless, and they did not want to take advantage of Wakagagi who was also a traveler.
Aren't these sea dragons usable now? Since they can indeed dive into the deep sea by tricking them intentionally or unintentionally, then they can be used, right?
Besides, that location seems to be quite close to here.
"Pissy, let's see if you have any excuses to be lazy in the future, huh."

In the morning, the Urban Alliance, the Junker City--
Junker is a city centered on Junker City, close to the ocean, occupying several islands and more than a dozen surrounding villages. It basically relies on fishery and handicrafts, as well as certain trade exchanges with other surrounding cities to maintain its operations. It joined a year ago
Urban Alliance.
The so-called Urban Alliance is not a federal group, but a loose alliance that unites many countries that tolerate demihumans in order to deal with the invasion of the Bahas Imperial Army supported by the human supremacist church and temple.
There is a place that can be called a palace in the center of the city, but if the imperial people saw it, they would definitely laugh at it, because the building is very simple. In the eyes of the imperial people, a mayor of the empire can have such a residence. But from this
Judging from the fact that the country only has one city, this setting is very practical, which fully shows that the royal family of this country is not someone who is extravagant and wasteful in this regard.
However, King Junker is currently troubled in his palace.
"Do we need to continue to increase our troops?"
"yes."
Faced with the question of General Zofis, whom he personally appointed, King Juncker answered in a feeble voice, and then directly showed him the document at hand.
As Zofis scanned the text above, his brows furrowed more and more tightly: "Even if the front line is tight, there should be a limit."
In fact, Zofis has never personally directed a war within the human race, but he also understands the burden of constantly asking allied city-states to mobilize military support like this.
"That's just to say, ugh."
On the Ijenistan side, a 60,000-strong army cobbled together by more than a dozen city-states faced off against the 40,000-strong army of the empire, but they did not gain an advantage.
The reasons are many-
One reason why the front-line soldiers complained a little is that for some reason the Imperial Army has a much higher proportion of magic casters. Even first-level magic is very fatal to ordinary soldiers who have no experience in dealing with magic.
However, the physical abilities of the magic casters are relatively poor. Although some elite units were sent to sneak attack the enemy's magic caster group, they were all discovered and ambushed and annihilated. Even if the assassin group was sent out, the result would be the same.
Now that I think about it, the proportion of newbies who are magic casters seems to be a bit high. It feels like they are trying to catch a duck, and the enemy might instead be targeting the latter to expand their results.
But there is another important reason that everyone knows——
The alliance's armies did not have unified command. Each unit was commanded by commanders from different city-states, and operations were carried out in close contact with each other. Everyone wanted to preserve their own strength. As a result, they clearly had a quantitative advantage and no quality disadvantage, but they ended up fighting like this.
.
In just a few days, the frontline suffered more than 10,000 casualties, while the Empire's losses were only one-third of the Alliance's. However, from the perspective of defensive warfare, the Empire did not invade the Urban Alliance, so it was not a failure, right?
However, the fact that the losses were heavy cannot be changed.
Then Ijenistan continued to ask for support from other city-states. After the first and second times, a total of 5,000 city defense troops in the city were dispatched to support the front line. The only ones that could continue to be gathered were the Guards and Guards.
Soldiers are responsible for patrolling and maintaining public security. The former cannot be used easily, and the combat effectiveness of the latter cannot be guaranteed.
"Unfortunately, this time our country continues to meet their demands, which can only make the front line work harder," Zoffis said.
King Junker: "I know this, but what if the front line is defeated?"
Zofis: "We can only try our best to withdraw our troops and pray that other cities will work harder to resist the empire. We are three cities away from the empire, so it shouldn't be so easy to attack here. It's not that we expect disaster in other places, it's just the military strength
If it’s really not enough, the only thing you can rely on is exchanging space for time.”
The Urban Alliance is a place where humans and some demihumans coexist, so the imperial army coming from a country where humans are supreme will definitely not win the hearts of the people. Depending on the situation, the temple may even massacre civilians. This will intensify the conflict and may extend to the city.
The Imperial Army's supply lines within the alliance will no longer be stable.
All we can expect now is this.
Although King Junker understood it, he had no choice but to try to squeeze his head and put forward an argument: "Can't demihuman adventurers be allowed to participate in the war? Although it is an iron rule for adventurers not to interfere in national politics, demihumans are destined to walk in the war.
The empire is on opposite sides, and even adventurers cannot be neutral."
Just as Zofis was about to say something, a guard suddenly came to report: "Report, there is a riot in the city!"
"At this time? What on earth is going on!"
"It seems like a private fight between two magic chanters...it's nearby!"
"Hundan, how could there be such an accident! Hurry..."
Before Zuofis finished speaking, there was a violent explosion outside. Immediately afterwards, one side of the wall collapsed, and flames poured in from the hole...
