Manga World: Bringing Steam Technology to the World of Sanctuary-Chapter 118: The Gulf of ...

"Christel, who are you talking to?"

"Jaina! With an ally who will help us defeat and capture Andariel, hehehe"

"huh? I don't see any here..." Jaina looked around the room as she brought a silver metal tray with plates and glasses filled with food and nourishment.

At some point while Christel was distracted while talking with Metaria, Jaina walked in and saw Christel sitting on the bed and talking to herself while holding her cat-shaped pendant in front of her chest.

"You can meet later, what do you bring on the tray?"

"Chiiiiiii~"

"Ehhh~ why are you looking at me like this? And why do you chiiiii~?"

"You're not cheating on me, are you?"

"How could I cheat you! Cough, cough" Christel couldn't keep his eyes on Jaina and lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"I brought your breakfast, Sunny-side-up eggs, bacon, corn tortillas, and juice..."

"Thank you, I love it..."

"sniff sniff"

"What are you doing?"

"You always smell freshly showered and there is also the smell of other girls but very little..."

"What are you, a hunting dog?"

Christel ignored Jaina and started eating his breakfast. After a series of modifications to the lands of the once known Blood Moor, as well as purification and fertilization of the land, agriculture is now yielding crops to maintain healthy nutrition for the sisters of the Sightless Eye.

Christel can now not only eat with his beloved corn tortillas as he did in his native country thanks to the seeds he brought back from the modern world.

But, thanks to environmentally friendly control and administration of sowing and harvesting, livestock is also bearing fruit, poultry now reproduce more thanks to the great food they find in the fields, as well as dairy cows and beef and pork are now more accessible.

There is no longer a need to eat meat contaminated by hellish energies, which makes the Rogues now friendlier and no longer in an irritable state.

"The first time you brought me food; it was just a piece of stale ham from some strange animal and some milk with a stale bread. Now everyone eats the same as what I'm eating right now?"

Christel asked.

"Mm! Thanks to Christel, everyone eats better now and is happier."

"It's everyone's job, I wouldn't just maintain a field and take care of the animals at the same time while defending against hellish monsters"

"But since your arrival you have changed the fate of us sisters, mmuack~ hehe~ you taste like bacon"

After finishing breakfast, Jaina helped Christel get dressed. From the day they faced Griswold, and Christel's -combat transformation- show, Jaina has loved the design of the dress that Christel wore with materialized moon energy.

So since then, Christel wonders if Jaina has left her magical studies and now taken up the profession of Tailoring.

But since she is still an apprentice tailor, Christel doesn't have to fight long to wear his usual leather pants and vest shirt again.

Christel went down from his room at the top of Tristan Cathedral to the first floor where there is a very large wooden table filled with maps and papers.

"Good morning everyone!"

"Good morning Little One"

"Good morning Christel!"

"Good morning!"

"..."

Malachar, Zara, Korgar and others greeted Christel.

Malachar has stayed in Tristan doing research and experiments at the bottom of the Cathedral, though Akara was reluctant at first, but after creating magical arrays of defense around where the space fissure to hell is, Malachar has been studying space and the connection to that dimension with everyone's approval.

What we learned from the dimension of hell can give us ways to contain demons and easily find the source of hellish corruption in our world.

It can also help us understand how Diablo escaped its sealing, and how to contain it in the future. He also brought Xul so that he could learn more about demons and use them for his understanding of Necromancer magic.

Isendra and Lyara have learned a lot about space and take their notes with Akara to modify and simplify portal scrolls and space anchor points for teleportation.

There are a total of 16 levels divided into four areas, namely four floors below the Cathedral where the building material is kept as those used in the construction of Tristan Cathedral. Then there are the Catacombs, here the atmosphere changes, and you no longer feel that you are in the Cathedral but in a dark and terrifying dungeon, with rough and damp stone material on the walls of the corridors, the area of the catacombs is very dark and creepy.

After the four levels of the Catacombs, you leave the dark place and arrive at what is already a deep cave. Unlike the strange darkness in the catacombs and the terrifying atmosphere, the caves are more with a natural feel, there is a lot of earth elements in these cave levels as well as rare herbs and materials that can grow in one place deep in the earth.

In the end you reach the levels of Hell. Although it's not the real hell, it feels like with every floor you go down, you'll get closer to the real hell. Temperatures begin to rise with each level of depth.

And this level is where the Rogues have chosen to do a -Infernal- training, just like Zara, Korgar, Cassia, and other Rogues have started physical training in these levels.

In the caves, special herbs and fungi have begun to be cultivated that like this type of environment without sun and with a large amount of earth element. While the level of the catacombs is being cleansed and purified, it is not yet known what to do in these catacombs, but sometimes, two paladins, Carthas and Valen use the catacombs to meditate, pray and ask for prayers and train their control with the element of divine light in the terrifying darkness of the catacombs.

The more superficial levels, those of the Cathedral, are used to store food, weapons, materials, and other resources for war. And these are the reports Christel is reading after sitting down.

"The estimates of this corn and wheat crop, plus those already stored at Camp New Hope and Camp Rogue can sustain us through a year of war in the worst-case scenario that we lose crop fields and livestock in general."

"It's not enough"

"EH? Christel, we can all live for a year with stored food, how is it not enough?"

"You're thinking about it with all of us, from 550 to 600. But what if Lakrii's sisters can't hold Westmarch's army and have to come to us. There are 200 more.

And remember, we are not murderers, in war if we can capture the enemy alive we will do it, even if we kill without touching our hearts, but if they have already surrendered we cannot simply take their lives, so how many prisoners of war will we have? How many can we keep?"

"Mm! Christel is right! GUAHAHAHAHAHA! As expected of my disciple!"

Everyone at the table agreed with Korgar's words. They're glad Christel doesn't become those bloodthirsty kings of history.

"Fishing in the port of Lirio in the Iris beach and in the Narciso River is increasing, thanks to the method given by Christel, apart from keeping the fish frozen we can also make dried and pickled bottled fish that will last a long time, this will give us months of food"

"Mm! Remember to keep a sustainable system, not overfishing. By the way, how are my Smekr Toads?"

"Iiiug~" Jaina next to Christel shuddered in disgust.

After all the reports on provisions, food, materials, logistics were read. Christel began with the reports of Westmarch's movements.

In Christel's hand, there is a letter from the commanding general of Westmarch's army, General Tirion. Christel doesn't have to read it to know what's written, and after reading the letter Christel knows he wasn't wrong.

The letter practically commands unconditional surrender, threats of war otherwise, and other things that made Christel take the letter in his hands and make it a crumpled ball of parchment and throw it on the floor.

"What news do we have from Big Sister Lakrii?"

"That loser...."

"Moreina!" x2

"HA! I mean, Lakrii has sent a note, they have seen the army on horseback with the armor and flags of Westmarch, as well as civilian infantry and archers. Their scouts have managed to see caravans behind the army, it won't be long before they enter the Dark Wood."

Moreina gave the report of the intelligence of Lakrii and her Bloodsworn sisters that they have obtained from the enemy. Of course, but not before being scolded by Christel and Kashya at the same time.

"Big Sister Peige?" Christel asked. Peige is the Rogue that Christel sent to be the leader in Lily Port in its construction.

But Peige has shown prowess in management as well as navigation at sea. So, Christel gladly handed over the position as City Chief of the Lily Port City.

"Sister Peige has seen the Westmarch fleet on its last patrol at sea. At a distance of 666 kilometers. Sister Peige speculates that they have waited for the fleet from Westmarch Harbour on the Great Ocean side, circling the land until they crossed the strait north of the town of Bramwell and entered the Gulf of Westmarch, according to Peige's calculations of the speed of the ships of the kingdom of Westmarch, they would reach our shores in 5 days at the earliest..."

"What's up Christel?" Kashya saw Christel's face with a grimace of displeasure. Even with that grimace, Christel's face is still cute and looks adorable, making it difficult for Kashya to have a hard time self-control and is about to pinch Christel's cheeks.

"Gulf of Westmarch... I don't like it, we have to change the name!"

"GUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Support!"

"Nyahahahahahaha! ~ Second!"

"Good!"

"What name would be good?"

"How about the – Gulf of Christel -?"

"Refuse!!!" 'Jaina, don't help me like that... I feel like you said it on purpose. Do you know that in my native language, gulf (golfo) is a scoundrel gigolo?!?'

Christel instantly rejected the name Jaina recommended loudly and instantly.
