"That said, it is what it is," Alvaron replied with a small nod. He picked up his cup and took a sip of tea before continuing, "As I mentioned earlier, two of our warships were destroyed by those monsters. General Luvistar, you're well aware of how advanced those ships are, aren't you?"
Luvistar wore a serious expression as he gave a slight nod.
"Yes, I know, Duke Austin. Our two newest warships are equipped with twenty-two magic cannons on both sides. Each cannon is powerful enough to destroy a city wall in a single shot. That's why they're so expensive," he explained solemnly.
The newest warship was the most advanced vessel owned by the Great Velmora Empire. Its development had taken more than twenty years before it was finally ready for deployment.
Since the eastern region bordered the sea, it was only natural that they were given priority to receive these ships.
