The 5 Elemental Lord
To Admiral Mahaa
“What are you doing!!”
Immediately Emperor Zeno awoke from his sleep after hearing the noise of the commotion outside the camp. In addition, he also heard the sound of a slap that made him unable to not stand up. Because he was really bothered with his rest. But who would have thought, it was already evening which showed that he was asleep for half a day.
The curious Zeno, finally came out of the camp and saw Mahaa scolding all out his sea warriors. Of course, Zeno immediately approached admiral Mahaa who seemed unable to contain his emotions.
“Admiral, what's up?” Ask Zeno.
“Honor to emperor.” Mahaa who was surprised by the voice immediately turned around and gave an honor to Zeno. The soldiers behind him.
“Emperor need not be angry. I will give them an appropriate punishment for not giving the emperor a proper place to rest to wait for me. In addition, I also apologize for arriving late after getting an order from Nora.”
Zeno scratched his head hearing what the seemingly strange Mahaa said. The problem is, Mahaa himself is too excessive to scold his naval soldiers, because basically they are not wrong, only Zeno is too excessive to go down without the knowledge of the soldiers.
“Already admiral, they didn't know that I was in camp.”
“But the emperor, should they follow you when they know that you arrived here.” Admiral Mahaa protested.
“Do not scold them again, this is an order!” Zeno said firmly.
Mahaa lowered her head as she said softly, “Both emperor I understand.”
Zeno heaved a sigh of relief as admiral Mahaa no longer bragged. He also looked to the side where the warships were still neatly lined up. However, the new ship that Zeno had created did not seem to be visible, as it was covered by the warship in front of him, so it seemed, Mahaa herself was not too surprised and had yet to realize.
“Admiral, I want to show you something.” Zeno moved as if he was controlling something, rather he blew a wind towards Admiral Mahaa.
Sure enough, very easily, Mahaa was like riding a wind tornado that made her soar high in the air. Mahaa gasped in shock as she suddenly flew after Zeno who had previously flown anyway. But the difference is, Zeno flew without using anything, while he was riding a tornado.
To Mahaa's surprise, he saw an ice ship that was gigantic in size and larger than the others. Moreover, he felt slightly different with the number of ships, he saw that the battleships were increasing in number in contrast to before.
“What Nora told you not to look for the project head again?” Zeno stopped in the air, as did Mahaa. Moreover, as he spoke he also turned his head towards his actions.
“If I can grow a tree, then creating a ship is not too difficult either. Not much, maybe the number is only a hundred plus the largest ship that one.” Zeno said as he pointed towards the ice ship he had created this morning.
“Seratus? And you said it wasn't much and just? You are absolutely crazy.” Mahaa sat in while rolling her eyeballs. He was completely unable to withstand the madness of emperor Zeno whose strength was far above that of an elementalist in general.
“Lantas why do you seem to tell me to look for the head of the shipbuilder if you yourself can make it yourself?” Admiral Mahaa asked.
“I just want to make his finances and board more useful. But who would have thought, they said that the empire could not afford to pay the workers. So, there's no other choice. Besides, I will actually increase the imperial budget after the war, otherwise, this empire will always continue to depend on me.” Zeno sighed in great annoyance.
“In addition, I also give you a gift admiral.” Zeno pointed towards one of his ships that was none other than an ice ship before admiral Mahaa asked what the reward was. “Ice ship, the biggest one is for you. But instead, I want to see your most powerful ability to defeat the fleet of Mare Enbarum ships later.”
Mahaa seemed to be unable to breathe suffocating after hearing what Zeno said, however, she did not want to show any disrespect in the presence of the emperor, he tried to act calm while slightly bowing while touching his chest. “It would be an honor for me if the emperor did say that. However, I admiral Mahaa cannot accept this too special gift, your highness the emperor.”
Although it is professional like that, but it is just a small talk for Mahaa. He was actually eager to receive the gift, moreover the one who gave him was a respected emperor. He also hoped that the emperor would force him to accept it.
“Alright, I'll drown him.” Zeno took a breath, extended his hand towards the ship and lowered it. And of course, the ship was slowly sinking
This made Mahaa smile bitterly and break out in cold sweat. But what he said was a joke to make it look like a small talk. But who would have thought, the emperor took it so seriously and immediately drowned it without thinking.
Mahaa immediately thought briefly to make an excuse for the emperor to abandon his intentions. And, without hesitation, he said in a slightly high tone, “I'm sorry emperor, it seems that we need such a large ship to fight as our main force. So, I don't mind taking care of it.”
Zeno sighed and smiled faintly between his cold face, then he raised the ice ship back to sea level as he had. Lazily, he said, “Already expected, you will say so admiral. So how, you accept it or not?”
“Of course I received it with pleasure.” Mahaa smiled wryly as she scratched her non-itchy head before she bowed back. “If the Emperor did give it to me, then I, admiral Mahaa really say a thousand thanks. Instead, and as per your request, I will show you the best war strategy to defeat the fleet of ships belonging to Mare Enbarum.”
“Good.” Said Zeno while lowering himself and Mahaa to head back to the mainland.
Right on the coast where the sand beach is soft snow. Zeno and Mahaa rested on it, with the soldiers also slightly bowing their bodies towards Zeno, as they felt guilty for not welcoming Zeno more.
However, Zeno did not mind it, what he thought today was to return home to the imperial palace since it was getting late. However, it seemed that this time he did not want to move as fast as light, but instead used a horse carriage, as well as wanting to see places, there was a problem that made him have to hurry to intervene.
