Ishgar Southwest Border.

This is a border city at the edge of the continent.

At this time, the terrain is extremely high, but the resources are very few. It has been in a state of poverty and isolation for hundreds of years.

The former rulers used military force to maintain their rule in this marginal and impoverished city.

The cruel rule made the people here miserable. In this city far away from the center of the continent, poverty and oppression are the main themes, not magic.

The already poor people were squeezed to mine magic mines and magic device factories, and gave up large tracts of grassland and their homes.

At that time, the streets in the city were like a gray rag, with dilapidated houses and sad faces everywhere.

The children wore patched clothes and looked for some food to fill their stomachs in the cracks of the stones.

Most people looked up and could only see the soldiers inside the city wall. Their cold eyes reminded that the city was under the iron fist of the rule.

The people living here are gray even in their dreams.

Until that day, a huge black warship hovered over the city, devouring the filth of the entire city like a giant beast.

The poor people looked up.

I saw a man wearing blue and white armor and bathed in golden light slowly landing.

With his arrival, the originally strong and selfish soldiers seemed more fragile than them.

And the life that was originally miserable seemed to have found the light of its own life.

Now, everything has changed.

Hal's rule and the policies implemented by Mavis are like a spring rain, moistening this dry land and blooming a vibrant high mountain flower for this plateau city.

Two years ago, the rails of the magic train finally entered this plateau, bringing unprecedented prosperity and openness.

Countless stories of wizards entered their ears.

People realized that the outside world is so broad, gorgeous and colorful.

Those streets that were once full of sorrow are now spacious and tidy.

Magic street lamps stand in every corner, and the soft light makes the night no longer dark.

Fire magic devices light warm fires in families, water magic devices bring clean water sources, and even circulation magic devices keep the city's air and climate comfortable.

People no longer need to worry about harsh taxes, and the streets are full of vendors' cries and children's laughter.

The faces of soldiers patrolling are no longer indifferent, but more at ease and confident.

In the city square, huge magic projectors keep playing the big magic fighting competition, which has become a hot topic for people after dinner.

"Yesterday's game was so good!"

"Yes! I have never seen such a powerful wizard in my life!"

"It's worthy of our Ishgar Empire! It's really a gathering of strong people!"

On the street, two little boys are imitating the wizards they admire most.

"Fire dragon's iron fist!" A boy waved his fist, imitating Natsu's fighting posture, grinning brightly.

"No! Gray is the strongest! Look at my ice form!" The other boy was not to be outdone, and slapped his palm on the ground fiercely, as if he could create a huge icicle in the next second.

"You two brats, what kind of fire dragon ice magician! It's obviously Mr. Makarov who is the most powerful! The giant form can smash the whole city with one punch!" A middle-aged man interrupted drunkenly, but his face was full of admiration for Makarov.

A young man with a strange tattoo on his face smiled slightly, shook his head, and said: "You are still too naive, General Jellal is the real strong man! At a young age, he is one of the ten holy magicians and a councilor. Now he has become the strongest god general in our empire. It was he who saved our city back then"

He pointed to the magic projection not far away, which happened to be a playback of Jellal's heroic fighting figure, with dazzling golden light.

"Hiccup! Indeed! General Jellal was brilliant yesterday!"

Not far away, a pair of old people sat on a bench by the roadside, enjoying the warm sunshine.

They had witnessed the darkest era of this city, and now, they are enjoying their old age with long-lost smiles on their faces.

At this time, high in the sky, hundreds of black warships can be vaguely seen between the clouds quietly floating above the huge red magic circle.

The magic circle emits a faint red light, as if a huge invisible energy net covers the entire sky, constantly drawing magic power from the atmosphere.

This allows these warships to float all year round, without consuming any magic crystals, and without frequent energy replenishment.

From a distance, they spread out over a large area, like a black giant beast in the sky, guarding the sky of the southwest border of the Ishgar Empire, ready to support the empire at any timeWars in various places.

In order not to interfere with the daily life of the people on the ground, the fleet has been docked in the sky.

When night falls, you can even vaguely see their black outlines and the red light of the magic circle flashing in the clouds from the ground.

In the center of this dark black fleet, there is a unique warship floating - a pink and white imperial warship.

It forms a strong contrast with the solemn and solemn ships around it, and it is particularly eye-catching.

This is the garrison command ship. Although it does not look majestic, it is the core command center of the entire fleet.

On the bridge, an imperial official wearing white ministerial clothes is gently putting down the magic transmitter beside his ear, with a solemn expression.

He straightened his back and replied loudly in a loud voice: "Received! My troops will arrive on time before this evening!"

Then he turned and looked at the command center. Sitting on the command seat is a girl dressed in pink and white clothes - Melty.

She crossed her legs, looking lazy, holding a lollipop in her mouth, and holding a magic projector, which showed the scene of Ultia freezing the entire virtual Magnolia.

"Ah~ So handsome, Ultia~ Even when angry, you are so beautiful~" Melty said excitedly in a low voice.

"Lord Melty, His Majesty ordered us to unite the garrisons of other cities, a total of one million imperial troops to go to Kurokas!"

The official's voice was loud and his face was a little excited. This was the largest military operation in the history of the empire.

Melty was startled and secretly hid the magic projector behind her: "Ah... you finally remembered me!"

Her voice was a bit naive, as if she was tired of waiting. Then she blinked and showed an expectant expression, "Eh? One million? Wow, so many people! This is the first time!"

"Yes, Lord Melty," the official said respectfully, "It seems that Kurokas may have encountered some big trouble."

Melty suddenly jumped up from her seat and waved her arms excitedly: "What are you waiting for! Get going! It's finally my turn to appear!"

She showed a sly smile on her face, and her eyes flashed with excitement and expectation, "This is the order of His Majesty Hal! Brother Kitty, you have no reason to stop me~"

Soon after, the entire battleship began to operate, the huge magic array lit up again, and a strong red light enveloped the entire sky.

The battleship engine made a low roar, the magic power in the surrounding air was quickly absorbed, and the entire fleet slowly began to move.

The red magic circle was like a dazzling halo, enveloping the entire fleet. It seemed as if a legion from the sky was marching towards Kurokas in an unstoppable manner.
