Chapter 29: The 3rd Colossal Biomachine Monster Strategy Meeting

The atmosphere in the room crackled with anticipation as Narumi, Christina, Amelia, Seraphina, the captain and deputy captain of the Gryphon Knight Order, the vice-leader of the Special Magic Knight Regiment, the strategist of Aurestear Kingdom, the leader of the ancient scholars, and the head of the magic craftsmen gathered for a crucial strategy meeting.

The meeting commenced with the head of magic craftsmen delivering a comprehensive report on the progress of mass-producing the Celestial Armor. He eloquently described the meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering dedication invested in creating each armor piece. The aim was to ensure the highest level of protection and to enhance the magic knights' abilities to their fullest potential.

Following the report, Amelia and the vice-leader of the Special Magic Knight Regiment provided an in-depth training update. They proudly shared the remarkable progress made by the magic knights in adapting to the Celestial Armor and mastering its unique capabilities. The room buzzed with nods of approval and heartfelt words of encouragement.

Then, it was Narumi's turn to take the floor, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He revealed an ingenious new function for the large shield that would enhance the magic knights' abilities even further. Through the installation of the magic core crystal, generously provided by Borwinter Kingdom, the shield would augment their magical prowess, making them truly formidable in battle.

Amelia's eyes widened in awe as Narumi continued his presentation. He unveiled a groundbreaking technological breakthrough—an advanced system that could convert surrounding mana energy into fuel energy, thereby increasing the operational time of the magic reactor by an impressive 37.48%. The room erupted with a mixture of amazement and deep admiration for Narumi's ingenuity.

The Leader of Ancient Scholars then provided a progress report on the successful installation of the new system onto the Floating High-Speed Bike. Thanks to this technological advancement, the bikes could now sustain an automatic energy shield. This development was significant since the previous version of the bikes couldn't support the energy shield due to excessive fuel energy consumption. The upgrade would prevent a repeat of the accident that occurred during the battle against the 2nd colossal biomachine monster.

Gesturing towards the holographic representation of the Floating High-Speed Bike on the meeting table, Narumi emphasized the importance of this upgrade. "With the installation of the automatic energy shield, the knights of the Gryphon Knight Order will gain an additional layer of defense, further enhancing their survivability on the battlefield. It will provide them with the confidence to push their limits and overcome any adversity."

Christina, Amelia, Seraphina, and everyone present couldn't contain their admiration. Praises for Narumi's genius and dedication filled the room, as they recognized the significant contributions he had made to their cause. They expressed their profound gratitude and heartfelt appreciation for his unwavering commitment to their safety and success.

Rising from her seat, Amelia's voice resonated with genuine admiration. "Narumi-sama, your relentless pursuit of innovation and unwavering dedication to our cause are truly commendable. With the Celestial Armor, the enhanced shield, and the upgraded Floating High-Speed Bike, we are now equipped to face the 3rd colossal biomachine monster with unwavering confidence. Your inventions will undoubtedly play a vital role in securing our victory."

A smug smile curved Christina's lips as she crossed her arms. "Of course, he's my Narumi. It's only natural that he's exceptional. If he couldn't accomplish something like this, he wouldn't be worthy of being my partner, right?" Although her words carried a hint of harshness, everyone in the meeting understood the underlying meaning, and they regarded her with warm eyes.

Seraphina, unable to contain her excitement, stood up as well, her eyes shining with adoration. "Yes! Narumi-nii-sama is always great! On behalf of Dustmoon Kingdom, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Narumi-nii-sama! Thank you, Narumi-nii-sama!" Narumi gently stroked her head, his smile radiating warmth as he replied, "I do this because I enjoy it, so there's no need to thank me so many times, Seraphina." Seraphina giggled innocently, "Ehehe!"

The other attendees also offered their heartfelt gratitude to Narumi, bowing and expressing their appreciation. Narumi humbly reciprocated their gestures, his cheeks slightly flushed. "Thank you all for your kind words. It is my honor to contribute to our collective effort. Let us continue to work together, combining our strengths and unwavering determination, to protect our land and defeat this formidable foe."

With a renewed determination and a shared sense of purpose, the group delved into discussing strategies and tactics, utilizing the newly acquired resources and technology. Amelia approached Narumi, a look of concern on her face. "Narumi-sama, I was wondering why we're not moving our forces to the large commercial city of Dustmoon Kingdom first. Wouldn't it make sense to be closer to where the 3rd colossal biomachine monster might appear?"

Narumi turned to face Amelia, slowly closing his eyes as he considered her question. He then opened his eyes and glanced out the window, where he could see the towering structures of the large factory adjacent to his workshop, with many magic craftsmen working tirelessly. With a thoughtful expression, he began to explain his reasoning.

"Amelia, there are a few reasons why I believe staying in the royal capital of Aurestear Kingdom is the best option for now," Narumi began. "Firstly, based on the unexpected timing when the 2nd colossal biomachine monster appeared, we can't be certain that the large commercial city of Dustmoon Kingdom will be the first target. If we were to move our forces there and Cloudewhale Kingdom or another country were to be attacked, our response would be delayed, and the damage could be significant."

He paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on the bustling cityscape outside. "Secondly, one of the most crucial tasks at hand is the mass production of the equipment I've invented. By remaining in Aurestear, we have easy access to the base of the magic craftsmen and ancient scholars who are essential human resources for this process. It would be more convenient to coordinate our efforts and ensure a smooth production line."

Narumi turned back to Amelia, his eyes filled with determination. "And finally, Aurestear Kingdom possesses abundant resources that I need to maintain our equipment. We have access to magic metals, high-pressure gas, and fuel energy—all crucial for maintaining and powering our equipment effectively. In the unfortunate event that we have to wait a long time in the large commercial city of Dustmoon Kingdom for the appearance of the 3rd colossal biomachine monster, running out of fuel energy would put us in a dangerous situation."

Then Christina chimed in, adding her input. "Amelia, I know it may seem counterintuitive to stay in Aurestear, but trust us, it's the best course of action for now. We need to ensure the production of these equipment and maintain a strong supply chain. And if you're free now, I want you to come here and help me set up this hologram mapping system and devise a strategy plan, rather than pressing your big body against my Narumi."

Amelia blushed slightly at Christina's teasing words but nodded in agreement. "Ara, it seems like we will need to do something more intimate at another time, Narumi-sama." She said to Narumi with a playful smile. Narumi, who felt something lacking when Amelia let go of his body, also smiled back. Amelia went to help Christina set up the hologram mapping system and began simulating the battle against the 3rd colossal biomachine monster.

After many simulated battles with their current forces against the 3rd colossal biomachine monster, Christina suggested the best plan. "I think the best plan is to use traps to hinder the movement of the 3rd colossal biomachine monster first."

Everyone agreed with this option, and Amelia added that if they could stop the monster's movement for several minutes, the magic knight team could restrain it with their binding magic, just like last time. With the new enhanced shield, their magic knights should be able to endure the monster's beam attacks for an hour.

"I see, that is the best option, but trapping the 3rd colossal biomachine monster, which destroys everything in its path, will not be easy." Narumi crossed his arms and pondered, while others also thought. Then Seraphina spoke up, "Then we should use slip traps! When I clean Narumi-nii's bathroom, there are many slippery places, so the monster will surely slip and fall!"

Seraphina's innocent trap suggestion left everyone speechless, but they realized it might be effective for this battle. They shared a mix of amusement and determination, knowing that their unconventional tactics might be the key to their success. With their plan in place, they continued to strategize and prepare for the inevitable confrontation with the 3rd colossal biomachine monster, their gestures and words reflecting their camaraderie and unwavering spirit.
