“They are retreating as if they are running away without even fighting.”
“Why? Is it because another Archduke appeared a while ago?”
“Yes, it seems that the Elondil Empire and the Orion Empire, frightened by that, decided to retreat, and others were swept away by it.”
“Tsk, they acted like they were the bravest in the world. . . . . . I understand the Elondil Empire retreating, but it’s a bit surprising that Orion is retreating.”
Oswald didn’t know it well, but the Wood Elves hated the artificially created life form, the homunculus, and because of that, their legion was made up solely of their own race, without any homunculi.
Therefore, they could not simply throw away their troops like the Elondil Empire. The only reason the Wood Elves were able to maintain a certain population was because they had more births than the High Elves or Dark Elves.
“The empire must also learn homunculus production magic.”
They couldn’t keep throwing away lives in wars forever. No matter how much Oswald was not from this world. . . If he couldn’t feel any guilt in this war where hundreds of thousands could die just by his order, he wasn’t human. Of course. . . On the other side of that. . . . . .

What enemy would be afraid if they used a elite homunculus combat unit with their fear removed? He had already asked Alicia to find ways to create homunculi.
He had also recruited elves living on the Titan continent through the church, trained them as Peace Eye agents, and sent them to the Elondil Empire. Of course, he intended to have them steal homunculus production magic and technology.
There was intelligence from Peace Eye behind Oswald’s thinking like this.
According to the intelligence from Peace Eye, the 3rd prince had started creating a combat unit using chimeras, and the number had already reached 50,000. Oswald, who had also become stronger through the chimera procedure, could tell how powerful the chimera combat unit would be without even having to see it.
That’s why the prince Valentine was appointing his supporters as western margraves to check the 3rd prince’s chimera unit.

Royman von Kronen, Earl of Normandy.
Royman put Kronen as his middle name so as not to lose the identity of his original family name, Kronen. Gilgamesh also used the name Gilgamesh von Arkad, Earl of Barcelona.

Oswald, who came to his senses, was spending time worrying about this and that. . . Finally, those who had left for the northwest expedition returned to Seattle. Oswald clicked his tongue as he watched the allied soldiers, who were drooping as if they had lost the war without even fighting.
“Tsk, they’re idiots.”
Soon after, Oswald had a meeting with Lieutenant General George Marshall, commander of the New Millennium Federation Army.
“You must have had a hard time because of those idiot elves.”
“No, as expected, the only one we can trust is the human empire.”
“The troops of the Imperial Empire will be joining us soon, so why don’t we discuss the future of the country with us?”
Oswald, who had exchanged great stories with Lieutenant General Marshall, came to discuss the chronic weapon problem of the New Millennium Federation.
They were currently armed with the Winchester series, but they couldn’t fight with outdated weapons forever. He wanted to ask them to sell imperial standard rifles like the Os rifle, but it was difficult because the empire prohibited it.
So, Lieutenant General Marshall was asking Oswald, the father of imperial weapons, for advice as a second best option. Oswald wondered what to do, and then decided to help them.
‘𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺, 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔1 𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔1 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦.’
They were weaker than the empire’s weapons, but they were weapons that could become the strongest weapons in the New Continent right now.
“Alright, I’ll give you some advice. For that, I’d like you to call the designers from the Federation’s arsenal here. . . How about it?”
“Of course.”
Thus, designers from the New Millennium Federation’s arsenal headed to Seattle City in droves.
Soon after, Oswald met with the designers from the Federation’s arsenal and used Blood Daemon to showcase two weapons, and allowed them to disassemble them and draw blueprints.
Later, when the designers asked for the names of the guns, Oswald named them the NM1 Garand and the NM1 Carbine, taking NM from New Millennium.
The New Millennium Federation’s arsenal, which had already received technology sharing from the empire, was thinking of developing their own weapons, and now that they had obtained such distinctive weapons, they decided to use them as a basis to re-arm the Federation soldiers.
‘𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘍𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦, 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸.’
The Federation, which had absorbed all of the autonomous zones belonging to the Sun Mercenary Group and purified and absorbed the central part of the New Continent, had grown considerably in size.
Thanks to that, those who had been living in the autonomous zones of the Sun Mercenary Group and had evacuated to the Kingdom of Britannia began to return and settle down again. The Kingdom of Britannia was dissatisfied with the sudden outflow of population, but. . . Since they were not their own citizens in the first place, there was no way to force them.
Therefore, King ‘William Henry XIX of Britannia’ sent a diplomatic mission to the New Millennium Federation to establish a quasi-alliance, and the Federation, which saw no need to create another enemy on this harsh continent, concluded a mutual defense treaty with the Kingdom of Britannia.
