System vs Rebirth Chapter 1141: Navy Commander

“I need your assistance to make sure that the tragedy doesn’t happen for the third time.”

Vivi didn’t understand what Noel meant for the third time. The only tragedy that happened in history was when his ancestor lost his wife to the demon king.

However, Anna couldn’t feel moved. Noel was simply counting their previous lives as a tragedy. In the end, Noel failed to work with Anna in their previous lives, which caused them to be unable to reach a higher stage. And it wouldn’t be weird to say that if Anna and Noel joined hands in their previous lives, they might still be able to challenge the demon king.

Vivi said, “Sure. I’ll do my best to assist you. If you have any questions, you can ask me about them. However, most of the time, I will guide this girl.”

“In that case, will it be fine to let you command our navy?”

“Where is your territory?” Vivi asked.

“It’s located in the north of Muivell Kingdom.” Noel looked around. “Do we have any paper here?”

“I’ll grab it.” Anna hurriedly went to the room and brought back a piece of paper and a pencil.

Noel then drew a rough sketch of the world map. He marked two places, which were his Ardagan territory and his ancestor’s territory. “I believe it’s something like this. The current family’s land is about 4 hours away if we ignore the demons.”

“I see. It seems that the Muivell Kingdom has been greatly reduced in the past one thousand years. No, I guess they have expanded it again.” Vivi frowned. “After the battle against the demon king, the Muivell Kingdom shrank to a fifth of this size. The same applied to the Greenwood Kingdom.”

“Yes. But it doesn’t seem that they have reached their golden age.”

“Indeed. Alex was a monster back then. With Margaretha taking the helm, the expansion was crazy. Sadly, it caused one problem in the past.” Vivi pointed at their current land. “Due to the rapid expansion, most of the land was basically empty. When the demon king attacked us, the Ardagan family was alone.”

Noel nodded in understanding. “Right now, I’m planning to expand the Ardagan family, but instead of the land, I’m increasing the number of cities. We have also turned most nobles in the northern area into our allies. Some are reliable, while others are questionable. Anyway, we also plan to work on expanding our road and building more trains and airships.

This way, we can create an integrated system that allows us to reinforce neighboring cities and use it in a similar fashion as an omni-directional reinforcement attack.”

“Trains and airships? Now that I think about it, what kind of technology and culture does this place have after a thousand years? No, never mind. I’ll be seeing it with my own eyes first before I give you any advice in that area.” Vivi sighed.

“Understood. In that case, regarding taking the command of our navy…”

“If I’m not wrong, there should be a river somewhere around here, right? Or has it changed?”

“I believe it has been diverted slightly. The river is close to my city right now, which is around here.” Noel corrected her.

“I see. That’s enough for now. Our force?”

“We haven’t trained anyone yet. However, we have made some small ships as well as a giant ship. We’re planning to reinforce them with runes. I’m not sure about the size of our navy though.”

“I see. How many people can you access? I mean, you can turn into soldiers?”

“As a marquis, I’m allowed to create 50,000 soldiers. And my land should have no problem taking on about a million people. As for the distribution, I’m planning to have ten thousand of them as our elites related to runes or any other specialized combat. The remaining forty thousand will be directed to normal soldiers.

Of course, I’m planning to build numerous cities since each city can also recruit its own soldiers. If I play it right, I can get about a hundred thousand soldiers.”

“Fifty thousand, huh?” Vivi squinted her eyes. “What’s the size of the ship?”

“It can easily bring at least five thousand people.”

“In that case, give me all those five thousand soldiers. I’ll turn them into elites.”

“It’s a bit hard right now. We will have to wait until my land is officially opened. And the cities haven’t been built yet.”

“That’s fine. I can use that time to make her a spirit grandmaster first. People will respect her more that way.” Vivi agreed.

“Understood. I’ll make an arrangement.” Noel nodded. “It’s just… I’m sorry, but I’d like to ask you to act separately from here on. The current political situation is not good for me.”

“So you want us to travel to your territory by ourselves?”

“Yes.”

“That’s fine. She can become a spirit grandmaster during the journey, and I can learn more about this world.”

“Thank you very much. I believe that’s all I have to discuss right now, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to ask Incetta if she knows about the protective screen that the auction house is using. And where they’re being produced…” Noel glanced at Incetta.

Unfortunately, Incetta shook her head. “I’m sorry. I have never thought about it.”

“It’s fine. In that case, please take your time to rest in this room. Anna and I will stroll around first.” Noel stood up. “If Vivi doesn’t have anything to ask, I’ll take my leave here.”

“Nope!” Vivi waved her hand, even though Noel didn’t see it. She looked satisfied with Noel’s quality.

Now that they were left alone in the room, Vivi couldn’t help but say, “So, how is it, kid? Are you going to accept my training? If you do and somehow want to reinstate your family and become a noble, you are going to create a family with the correct name. That’s my only condition.”

“My closest relatives have been killed, and my family is trying to eliminate me and everything that is dear to me, no matter if they are objects or people. Besides, it’s not like I have a lot of good memories of that family, so I don’t mind about the condition. But allow me to bury this hatred.

I don’t want the current family to be destroyed as well, simply because the blood running in our veins is the same.”

“I don’t care about that. Just don’t become a pushover.”

“Thank you.”

“In that case, call me Teacher! I will teach you everything I know about fighting and nightlife. Yes, I’ll definitely teach you about the nightlife.” Vivi nodded with a serious expression.

“W-What are you talking about? How perverted.” Incetta’s face became red again.

“Listen, kid. I don’t care about what others think. I’m just tired of people saying that if a man is intimate with multiple women, people call him a chad. But if a woman is intimate with multiple men, people call him a slut. So I just live a fulfilling life without caring about people’s double standards.

Of course, you can ignore what I say if that means you’re living according to your own ideal.” Vivi harrumphed.

“I don’t fully understand all the terms you’re using, but just teach me how to fight.” Incetta looked away.

“Hahaha. You are a quiet-type girl. They are innocent, shy, and don’t talk a lot. But once they’re in the room, all hell breaks loose. The bed will bre—Mmphh!” Vivi’s mouth was sealed by Incetta’s hands.

She glared at Vivi while saying, “Let’s train, dear Teacher!” with an embarrassed face.

“Alright.” Vivi smiled wryly. Incetta released her hands, which caused Vivi to think of something weird. ‘Wait a minute. She can actually touch me?’

An evil grin appeared on Vivi’s face as she couldn’t help but think, ‘It seems that I won’t be bored on this journey.’
