“Take it.”

“T. . .This is?”

I wanted to absorb it as is, but. . . doing so would create a Wrath stat and likely cause demonic power to run wild.

Oswald was truly becoming a physical monster. From that day on, Oswald diligently prayed and purified the essence whenever he had spare time. Thanks to this, his holy power level also increased significantly, and his ‘Chronos’ prayer skill rose from heroic level 1 to level 9.

“Aaah. . . Chronos. . . I praise you!”

Due to the fact that Winnipeg City had been wiped off the map, the expeditionary force had to return to Minneapolis. Most of the casualties were avoided thanks to fighting with high-performance, high-firepower weapons such as the Tiger tanks, but. . . it was unknown how long they could keep fighting like this.

Still, the fact that the Imperial Expeditionary Force had defeated the Archduke of Wrath was soon transmitted to the whole world through CID, and it was said that the Imperial Empire was the leading force of the human empire.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Corps Commander. I am Major General Vasily Chuikov, commander of the CID peacekeeping force.”

“I’m sure you had a hard time coming all this way. I am Brigadier General Oswald Winchester, in charge of the Expeditionary Force.”

“I heard that you have defeated the Wrath Legion.”

“Yes, with the help of the Order, we were able to banish the Archduke of Wrath.”

“May I ask what you plan to do in the future?”

“For now, we plan to give the soldiers who have been through the contaminated area a break due to fatigue. We will probably stay for another week.”

“What about after that?”

“Of course, we must march to defeat the Pride Legion.”

“In that case, I will make sure that the Elf Alliance forces coordinate their movements to match yours.”

“I would be grateful if you could do that.”

After exchanging opinions with the peacekeeping force commander, Oswald saw off Commander Vasily and sat down in his office as if he had collapsed.

“Haa. . . There’s nothing good about being promoted. . . ”

He felt like throwing away this damn corps commander position, but. . . he still had time left on his mandatory service.

While he was sitting there blankly for a long time, Gilgamesh came in.

“Ah! Colonel Gil.”

“. . . . . .”

Oswald, who was tired of calling Gilgamesh’s full name, had recently started to call him Gil, the first letter of Gilgamesh’s name, like a surname.

“As instructed by the Corps Commander, I have selected those with User-level skills and above.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“By the way, what do you plan to do with them?”

Oswald smiled at Gilgamesh’s question and answered.

“I plan to test the new weapons made by the high dragon Quetzalcoatl and the dwarves.”

“Quetzalcoatl?”

“Think of him as a dragon who is as skilled as a dwarf and crazy about making things.”

“Hmm. . .”

“Let’s go quickly. I want to use this new weapon as soon as possible.”

Oswald had originally planned to give this weapon to the Expeditionary Force from the beginning, but. . . he had been so busy and had been moving so urgently that he had forgotten about it for a while.

Then, when he finally had some free time, Oswald took out the 1,000 exoskeletons and 500 power suits that he had received from Quetzalcoatl from the magic bag that Quetzalcoatl had given him, and spread them out in the training ground.

Of course, the power suits were stored in a subspace in the form of bracelets, and they were magically processed so that when magic power was injected into the bracelets, they would automatically be equipped on the body. The 500 expert officers were given 500 power suits.

“Put on the bracelets and inject magic power!”

At Oswald’s command, the expert officers put the large bracelets on their wrists, and they automatically shrank in size and fit snugly on their wrists. Then, they poured in magic power, and the runes carved on the bracelets glowed, and soon the light engulfed the entire bodies of the officers wearing them.

Like that, after almost 5 seconds, the personnel wearing the power suits revealed themselves.

[𝐖𝐡-𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬?]

“I think it will be easier to understand if you think of it as a miniaturized version of Gigant. From now on, you will participate in battles using this new weapon. So, starting today, we will start training to fight while wearing the suits. Each suit has an artificial spirit to assist you in combat and training, so please follow the instructions of the artificial spirit. That is all!”

Next, the 1,000 non-commissioned officers of User level were fitted with exoskeletons. Oswald, who had already experienced using exoskeletons several times, explained to the NCOs in detail how to handle the exoskeletons.

Thus began the adaptation training. The exoskeleton unit was also equipped with a simple artificial spirit. Using that simple artificial spirit, they could handle the weapons equipped on the exoskeleton, and the aiming assist system was installed in the artificial spirit, so they could fire the heavy machine guns and small cannons mounted on their shoulder frames.

Of course, these two weapons also had magazines that used spatial expansion magic, so they were able to unleash a considerable amount of firepower.

“When did you make something like this?”

Alicia looked at the exoskeletons and power suits with interest. In particular, she was eager to learn about the power suits, which were full of runes she had never seen before. . . . . .

“Alicia, that’s enough.”

“Can’t I take it apart?”

“I’ve already given three to Maesterium, so go there and take a look.”

“That’s mean.”

“We need to use them at full capacity right now, so we can’t disassemble them.”

“Yes, Corps Commander.”

Alicia muttered and went out, and Oswald shook his head.

Like that, a week passed and. . . the Expeditionary Force set out to drive out the Archduke of Pride.

This time, the expedition did not take the troops of the Paranos Principality with them. Although the demons and dimaens in the area had been wiped out while dealing with the Archduke of Wrath, the regular army of the Paranos Principality was left in Minneapolis City just in case.

During the break, one more aerial battleship, ‘Metatron’, was deployed. In addition, the downed Kaiser fighters were also resupplied, and the existing Kaiser fighter squadron of the Athena-class battleship was completed.
