The war continued.
Brago's unstoppable warships continued to advance in every direction. The more they advanced the more distance they had with one another. Which mean, Brago had to send more warships out.
That was why Aldred let the warships keep advancing. Though his allies were screaming at him for every cities that they destroyed.
Aldred convinced them that they may lose the battles, but they will surely win the war. The fact that he was the only one who could effectively destroyed the warships made them listen.
There were other Diamond Ranks as well that could destroy the warships, but their ways need a more meticulous planning and secret treasures.
"Why not use the secret weapon?" Aldred asked the leaders.
He was currently sitting in his room with the projection of the world leaders all around the table.
"Don't every nation has a super weapon that you wouldn't use because that would destroy everything?"
"It's exactly why we don't want to use," a man said.
Aldred still did not know what the exact weapon was despite being an Emperor. He just did not have the chance to ask Edeline about it.
"This is something that threatened the whole continent. Since Brago has gone this far, he will not back down until he get everything. Just how destructive this weapons is anyway?"
"It's not that it is very destructive, we also can only use it once."
Everyone went silent after that. Aldred immediately understood why the topic never even came in the conversation. The super weapon could only be used once, and all of them were worried that a nation would attack them in the future.
"In that case, there is only one solution for this problem. All the nation should use their super weapons."
The intention was, if everyone used their one-time-use-super weapon, then no one would have a super weapon anymore.
But no one was assured by that proposal. What if a nation refused to use their super weapon? What if they secretly kept one?
They did not have complete trust with one another. There were always wariness inside their heart. Of course that was the case, if would be naive to be thinking otherwise.
Aldred sighed. "Since no one is willing to use their super weapon, then we have to fight this battle slowly. Grind the numbers of the enemy bit by bit and then strike the heart.
All over the continents, thousands of Diamond Ranks were working together to destroy the warships.
The Diamond Ranks used all kinds of methods such as sacrificing hundreds of thousands of Gold Ranks, distracting the enemy with numbers, using secret treasures, or combining their spells into one massive ultra-powerful attack.
Some even used their lifespan to destroy these warships.
But even though the number of warships were reduced, Brago's army continued to advance.
Aldred looked at the map and was satisfied. Edeline's spies had counter that there were over 2,000 squadron. Which mean, over 2,000 motherships. Each one could kill tens of Diamond Ranks.
But 14-20 motherships were destroyed every single day.
Which mean, the war shouldn't last longer than four months.
Aldred couldn't wait to explore the other continent. But first, he had to get rid of Brago and create a powerful army to protect this continent.
It was too bad that he couldn't increase his strength from destroy Brago's ships. The sailors on board were not even Diamond Ranks.
That made Aldred wonder. Did Brago brought any Diamond Ranks with him?
"Aldred," Edeline called and pointed towards the map. "Something changed."
Aldred shook the thoughts away and looked at the map. There, he saw the red dots were changing direction and all went towards the Ceraisian Empire.
"They are coming after me," Aldred said.
"Selia's spies must have known that you are the key."
Aldred bit his lips. "If they gathered and attacked the Ceraisian Empire, there is nothing I can do to stop them."
Though he could destroy 4 squadrons at once, it would be extremely hard to do more than that as the enemies became smarter and smarter the more they encountered him.
He relied on the element of surprise to defeat the warships, but if they already expected it, the element of surprise would be no more.
Surely, after getting attacked by Aldred for a bunch of times, the generals would have figured out his fighting patterns.
Past strategies that worked before might not work this time.
Suddenly, Stella teleported into the room. "Aldred, Dobbs and Corduul have something to show you."
"Did they made something powerful enough to solve our problem?"
"You need to see it for yourself."
Aldred nodded and teleported together with Stella.
They appeared in a secret lab. Its locations were only known by a handful of people, and it could only be accessed through teleportation.
"I don't have much time," Aldred said. "Show me what you made."
Dobbs smiled while Corduul was as expressionless as always.
"We made you something that can solve your problem." Dobbs pushed a cart with black cloth covering it.
He grabbed the cloth and pulled it down, revealing a weirdly shape, majestic black armor with eight wings. There were some signs of mechanical parts and magical parts in the joint. Copper lines and runes intermixed with each other on the surface of the armor.
It gave of a weird but yet powerful appearance into it.
"An armor? I thought I told you to make a weapon."
"It's impossible to make a weapon powerful enough to destroy those warships," Dobbs said. "Not with our current materials and knowledge."
"But we already have a powerful weapon."
"What is it?"
"You, Aldred. You are the most powerful weapon that we have. We made this armor so you will become even more unstoppable."
"I am listening."
Dobbs smiled. "What it can do is increase your speed the more mana you feed it. The speed limit is almost limitless, but judging by your vast amount of mana, I believe you could very much reach the limit in no time. With your power, I believe you can increase your speed by a thousand time."
"A thousand time? Are you serious?" Aldred could not believe what he just hear.
"That is true."
"I am amazed at what you two could create."
Dobbs laughed. "This isn't made by just the two of us."
"Who else helped you?"
"Us." Naley, Barne, and Zaxary came out of a room and greeted him.
"Using my father's vast library of knowledge, I thought I could be of some use. So I did."
Barne laughed. "I thought my engineering skill is needed so why not."
Zaxary gave him a thumbs up. "This armor had a small temporal drive inside it. You would at least be able to revert time back to 3-5 seconds ago. And you can also increase the speed of your mind, making it look like the world was in slow motion."
Aldred nodded with a smile. His godly eyes already gave him that kind of ability, he wondered how slow the world would look like if he used the temporal drive along with it.
"With this armor, you will be undefeatable." Dobbs smiled with confidence.
