Fairy: What do you call borrowing power?Is this unknown?

squeak...

The closed door was slowly opened.

Jeff walked in slowly, the previous fight with Natsu didn't seem to cause him any trouble.

No joy or anger could be seen on his calm face, he walked to the main seat and sat down slowly.

・・・ Flowers・・・

Jeff took a deep breath and spoke first: "Tell me, say what you have."

"There's no need to hide it."

Hearing this, there seemed to be a gleam of light in the eyes of Inber sitting beside him under the lens.

Asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, have you made a decision?"

"Ah... there's no need to think about it anymore." Jeff nodded lightly.

"I... am going to act!"

The words were calm.

But as Inber, who knows Jeff very well.

But he could clearly hear the... blood hidden under those calm words!

This means that Fairy Tail is about to welcome a...

Iron Emperor!

boom----

Already unable to bear it any longer, Agil slapped the table heavily with his palm.

Anger was undisguised on his face.

"Then let's go to war, Your Majesty!!!"

"Those goblins are too rampant!"

"And then?" Inbel turned Ajill aside: "A mindless attack will only make you refill the score, don't you understand this? Ajill."

... .. 0

Those words were merciless, even though they were both twelve shields, Inber reprimanded Agil without any scruples.

With veins popping up on his face, Agil glared at Inber angrily.

He really wanted to refute, but thousands of words came to his lips, but in the end he didn't know how to respond to Inber.

Just like before, go directly to that guy named Luo Xingchen?

Don't be ridiculous, you can't beat it at all, okay?

As much as he didn't want to admit it, but...it was the truth.

"Okay." Olgast said.

"Failure is not a disgrace. This defeat also made us understand that there are not no mages on Ishgar who can compete with our twelve shields."

"The aloof gaze needs to be withdrawn. For His Majesty's victory, we must not be arrogant!"

Olgast's words were sonorous and powerful, so that everyone present did not have any rebuttals.

Taking a deep breath, Olgast leaned back on the back of the chair.

For the first time, a look of hesitation appeared on the old man's face.

He muttered: "Now, we should think about the matter about this man Luo Xingchen."

"Wait a minute, the battle damage hasn't come out yet." Val said.

"The information is still being collected. Everything about Luo Xingchen will determine our attitude towards this man."

Having said that, Walton paused.

"What is certain is that... the S-level judgment is no longer enough to describe the threat of this man."

"You mean... a higher level of risk determination?" Inbel helped his eyes on the bridge of his nose.

His eyes turned to Val.

In response, Val nodded slightly.

"Wait, the results of this battle are still being analyzed and summarized, and Timaria and Brandish himself Bradman are also missing."

"My mechanical double was also destroyed... this time it was predictable..."

Val stared at the crowd present.

Word by word:

"Our losses are extremely heavy!" said Dao.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

drop by drop...

There was a sound from the magic crystal screen behind Val.

It caught Val's eye.

Turning around, Val stretched out his hand to manipulate the console.

He opened the received letter and read it at a glance.

The expression on his face gradually became serious.

"Is there a battle report about this time?"

Inber behind him asked.

In this regard, Val nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "This is the battle report sent by our soldiers just after tapping this battle."

Turning his head, he looked at the crowd in the conference room.

His face was a bit ugly: "This time, first of all, my mechanical soldiers are almost lost. Not to mention the time needed to manufacture them, the money is also a lot of money."

"Money doesn't matter to the Alvarez Empire." Inbel pushed his glasses and spoke slowly.

"It's just...in terms of time..." At this point, he couldn't help but look at Jeff in the main seat.

"March [-]" "I'm afraid it's too late, but it won't affect much."

Jeff leaned on the back of the chair, leaning on the armrest with one hand and rubbing his chin with the other, muttering.

He looked at Val: "Continue."

"In addition, the town has been traumatized on a large scale. Almost thousands of residents have completely lost their homes. The reconstruction work is also a big problem."

"Then, there is the most important loss of twelve shields."

Having said that, even Val's tone gradually became serious.

"According to our search, Bradman has been confirmed dead. Reinhardt tried to summon Bradman's corpse, but it succeeded."

"However, Brandish and Timaria did not succeed. It is currently estimated that they are missing, and they are likely to be captured by the goblin group."

"Have you lost three twelve shields at once..." Hearing the news.

Inber's brows were tightly wrinkled.

Not only Inber, but everyone present fell silent at this moment.

Most of the present were more or less involved in this battle.

Although they all know that the other party is completely different from any enemy they have met before.

However, when the specific battle report was presented in front of them.

They still couldn't help but gasped.

This is the biggest loss since the establishment of the Holy Twelve Shields.

Three twelve shields!

The Alvarez Empire has never lost a twelve-shield mage until today.

These are all among the 12 strongest people in the Alvarez Empire.

In the past, no matter what kind of missions were carried out, these 12 people could not be threatened.

Taking Ishgar as an example, it is the loss of three monsters at the level of four heavenly kings.

Even if the Alvarez Empire is very powerful, it cannot withstand such a loss.

"This is a lesson!"

Olgast spoke in a deep voice.

Looking directly at everyone present: "In the past, we always thought that the Twelve Shields of the Protectors were invincible, that is, apart from His Majesty, the strongest mages."

"However, this battle taught us a bloody lesson."

Taking a deep breath, Olgast's old eyes seemed to return to the past.

When facing Luo Xingchen directly.

That sense of powerlessness...was even more exaggerated than when facing Zeref.

He didn't know who was stronger in the battle between Luo Xingchen and Jeff.

However, there is no doubt that he is no longer an opponent at the same level as himself and others.

"Now Luo Xingchen's strength is indeed beyond my expectation." It seemed that he had seen through Ougaste's inner thoughts.

Jeff's expression remained unchanged.

The index finger tapped regularly on the armrest of the seat.

He spoke again: "Even Fairy Tail, Natsu and the others have grown beyond imagination."

"But, for now, they're not enough."
