Turse's out, Nora's in. That was what happened back then that made Zeno shake his head, because he knew that Nora would be very worse compared to Turse. Moreover, Nora's ever-smiling gaze showed her teeth which made Zeno very bored.
But this time, the look on Nora's face looked different, it seemed that she this time came up with a serious problem that left Zeno wondering. Maybe because Nora always played in the room of the imperial financial council, which made her always begged by them, so Nora seemed to bring serious news.
“What did you do with Turse earlier?”
Not what Zeno expected, Nora asked that, making Zeno pat her head and look at Nora expressionlessly. “Nora, when you enter my room at least knock on the door first.”
“I won't know what you guys are going to do exactly if I don't log in carelessly.” Nora narrowed her eyes towards Zeno.
“Alright, Turse came to talk about the archers. And you, what do you want to say when you're in my room?” Zeno said his potluck while asking afterwards.
Nora sighed with a smile as usual, “I think you guys did something suspicious.” Nora laughed softly before she got into such a serious discussion. “I heard the Emperor wants to upgrade the fleet? But the finance board predicts that we will not be able to pay workers to build dozens of ships in a fast time.”
“If you still want to upgrade the Ship Fleet, then the financial council will raise the taxes of our people and the merchants. And it awaits your decision. You better consider the decision.” Nora tried to explain.
Zeno sighed a little heavily, then he said, "I thought the finance board would say that." Zeno rubbed his face before he continued saying, "But, I've thought of something."
"No, there is no need to raise taxes to the people and the merchants. It'll trouble them all, besides I'll keep upgrading the fleet." Zeno continued his words.
"How's that? Aren't you going to pay the shipbuilders?" Turse raised his eyebrows out of curiosity.
"Do you think I am a ruthless emperor? You don't need to know. In addition, tell admiral Mahaa not to look for the head of the shipbuilding project. If necessary, tell him to follow me at the Fleet harbor of naval ships. Go back, to the finance board that I'll keep upgrading the ship fleet without using workers." Zeno immediately stood up and walked out of his room.
"Good Emperor." Nora nodded excitedly.
Zeno was outside the imperial palace with a face that had absolutely no spirit. He floated in the air and then disappeared, no, rather he was moving towards the northeast at the speed of light. It looks like he disappeared.
Zeno was already on the seaboard. With hundreds of ships floating. Not only that, there were also the soldiers who belonged to the navy were training vigorously.
Instantly, the soldiers immediately bowed their knees in salute as a Zeno suddenly appeared. Zeno simply nodded and went past them without saying anything, because most importantly, he wanted to do something shocking again.
What he did, again floated in midair, moved over an empty body of water among the hundreds of ships affected. Then, full of energy, he raised his hand slowly.
Not stopping, in other waters, appeared four more ships that were exactly the same as warships from the sea.
Zeno sighed, he smiled in relief and nodded, "Just tired of taking out 10 warships. It might seem strange and absurd, but those rulers once said that I could bring out all kinds, all forms of techniques from all corners of the world at a complete stage."
It was quite absurd, but Zeno could indeed master any kind of technique as long as it was related to his five elements. While the ship, made of wood, while wood is a combination of earth and water elements, so for Zeno it is quite easy to make.
Not wanting to stop, Zeno raised his hand back slowly, so that ten ships appeared in unison. Then, he repeated it over and over again, resulting in the appearance of a hundred new battleships that Zeno had just created.
"That's why the emperor is now ranked the first strongest emperor." Said one of the soldiers who was unceasingly shocked.
"I heard the emperor did that because he wanted to do battle with Mare Enbarum Empire that was on the shadow continent?" Ask the other soldiers.
"True, to take revenge for the death of emperor Aurroa. That's why he's upgrading the fleet of ships like that."
Zeno breathed heavily, completely draining so many orcs. He was even new this time, which was to make a hundred warships in a day of his life. But on the other hand, having the ability to control, control and subdue the 5 elements is really fun, he can even do anything with nature such as stopping the collapse of glaciers, snowstorms and earthquakes easily. People can also be protected.
Zeno took his breath so deeply back, this time he again raised his hand slowly. However, it was seen that Zeno was as if it was very heavy to lift it.
However, the ship that came out from the cold sea this time was much larger than the others. The wood? No, this ship looks more or less like floating ice. Indeed, the ship is made of very large ice.
"This is the last." Zeno breathed heavily. His head also looked dizzy with his staggered body, yet he forced to stay upright and tried to descend towards the shore like a drunk.
"There are 101 new ships, I hope you can use them wisely. Which means, there are 246 ships. Besides, I'm expecting your abilities later, soldier!" Zeno cried even though he had a headache.
"Ready to understand the emperor!" Shouted the soldiers loudly.
Zeno did not dare to head back towards the empire at the speed of light anymore. Because he knew that his people were almost at the limit. So he chose to rest in the camp of the troops for a while. At least he can take a nap and recover his strength.
It may seem strange that an emperor sleeps in the camp of his army. However Zeno did not care and stayed to sleep inside a seemingly empty camp tent without the knowledge of others, even though it felt inappropriate and would humble himself Zeno as an emperor.
