Aldred and others walked to the receptionist desk who had been replaced with someone else, and then Aldred asked to buy some ship parts.
"Would you like to buy coastal ships or open sea?"
"What's the difference?"
"Coastal ships' materials are only suitable for coastal ships and they can only travel by the coastline."
"What if they go to the sea?"
"They will be destroyed by monsters."
"Then I will buy the open sea ships."
A magical projection showed all kinds of materials suitable for various parts of the ship such as the hull, mast, deck, cabin, gun port, and anchor.
"I don't know anything about ships," Aldred said. "Bartrem, what do you think?"
"I don't know anything about ships either."
"I know a thing or two," Zafrina said. "My dad has a port, and I have been on a ship before."
"Okay, what should we pick?" Aldred asked.
"It depends. Do you want a fast ship or strong ship?"
"Can I have it both fast and strong?"
"You can balance it, but it would probably be too expensive."
"Don't worry. I have 31 million merit points. We're going to spend it all on this one ship."
"Just one ship? You usually need to bring a few smaller ships along with you to take care of the speedy pirates."
"I am going to buy that in other places."
"Where?"
"Ceraisian. Where can I buy the best ship for warfare if not in the empire that always wage war on others. I figure I wouldn't be able to buy a powerful mothership there, so let's just buy the materials for the mothership here, and buy the smaller ship in Ceraisian."
Mary nodded. "You're right, Aldred. No one can buy a mothership in Ceraisian that easily. Only nobles can do that, and most of them are assigned to the Royal Navy anyway, so it's impossible for you to get one."
"Thought so. But getting the smaller ship is no problem right?"
"You can do that. The Navy is not at war, so there is no problem acquiring a few ships."
"Good. Zafrina, use all 31 million merit points however you want."
Zafrina smiled. "Will do."
She spent a few hours carefully picking the materials to build this ship. Aldred wants it large, powerful, and fast. He wanted powerful cannons on the side, and to his surprise, they had something like that.
"Buy them all," Aldred said.
Although he could create his own weapons using golemification and magical construction, his skill paled in comparison to the ones that was a master in creating magical weapons.
So the cannon was stronger than his spell by a large margin in damage output.
Aldred wasn't sure if Zafrina would buy one though. She knew more about ships, so he trusted her and let her pick the materials needed.
After a while, she was done picking the materials.
"I am sorry, sir, but your order is too big, so I will have to ask you to enter the storage room again to receive your item."
"Okay. You guys, wait here. I won't be long."
Aldred entered the storage room again, and he quickly received his things. He put them all inside his divine dimension.
"Thank you," Aldred said.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you, sir Aldred."
"Likewise," Aldred said.
Aldred left the room, and returned back to his comrades.
"All done?" Mary asked.
"Yep. Time for us to go to war."
"WAR!"
...
In the city of Puszlokajfa, there was a siege.
On the defendant side was the winged-man, firing arrows, canons, and catapults at the swarming army of Bugbear.
These hideous creatures were muscularly built. The majority of them only wore some cloth to cover their body from the waist down, and their big chest was bare to the eye.
These hairy creatures raised their maces, and slammed at the gates before the winged-men fired them with arrows.
But their numbers were too many.
"Sir Bavar, at this rate, the bugbear will take over the city."
"We cannot let that happen! We have defended this border for decades. If this city falls, the enemy will gain momentum. Call in more adventures to help."
Another soldier ran above the wall with haggard breathing, exhausted from sprinting. "Sir Bavar, news from Hajduvar. They have sent a promising adventurer to help us."
"One group of adventurers is not enough to tilt the favor of this war. Ask for more."
Bavar gritted his teeth. If they could call for a Platinum Rank reinforcement, that would be better. But there was an unwritten rule in warfare that Platinum Rank would only be used when one side wanted full annihilation of the opposition.
They don't want an all-out war to break out.
Suddenly, they saw an object flying in the sky, trailing with a blazing jet flame on its behind.
"What is that?"
Suddenly, the object plummeted towards the bugbear and then exploded.
BOOM!
A small portion of the army was blasted, and Bavar saw their formations become even more chaotic.
"It's our reinforcement!" Bavar shouted.
More and more of those objects came from the sky and crashed onto the enemy before exploding.
"Such power. Who casted that spell?" Bavar looked to the side and noticed a dozen or so gigantic golem shooting a lot of objects into the sky. These objects kept on flying until it hit its target before exploding.
"An army of golems! Unbelievable! Only a very powerful magician could usually use them. How is this possible?"
"Is it the Platinum Rank, sir?"
"No. A Platinum Rank golem would devastate the enemy all at once. This is the work of a Gold Rank golem master."
What's following behind the large golems was numerous 2 meter tall golems and they charged at high speed.
In their hand was what seemed to be common to rare weapons, and they quickly bashed into the enemy with their large body.
"Are those Rare quality weapons? And a lot of these golems have them."
Bavar looked at these golems with amazement. The golem master must be very rich to arm his golems with rare weapons.
