"It's alright, after all, it's a copy of someone else's, so its power is still somewhat lacking."

Abigail wasn't entirely satisfied, but considering it was a knock-off, the power was already quite good. Besides, the magic cannon used for firing was only made of materials that could support such an effect. At least it managed to fire a full shot, which was already quite an achievement.

"Isn't this power enough?"

The adjutant standing beside Abigail asked in surprise at her words.

"Not enough. It's just killing a big turtle. What's so surprising about that?"

"That's a giant armored beast known for its strongest defense. If the rebels who besieged the capital back then had a cannon like yours, the empire might have already been overthrown."

Abigail could understand the adjutant's surprise, but understanding was one thing, and agreeing with it was another.

"By the way, Abigail, what's the name of this weapon? I think I heard you mention Starburst..."

"No, this thing can't really be called a starburst, it's more like a starburst."

Abigail made a casual remark, but Lionel took it seriously.

"Let's call it the Starlight Explosion Cannon."

"Forehead......"

Abigail watched speechlessly as Lionel actually applied that name directly to him.

"Whatever you want."

"Abigail, I have another request. Could you please contribute the technology for manufacturing this Starburst Cannon?"

"Let's talk about it later... I think you should explain things to the people below as soon as possible."

Abigail pointed to the chaotic mechs in the distance as she spoke.

Lionel immediately pulled out his communicator, and sure enough, it was in complete chaos. Some were asking what had just happened, others were speculating whether it was a new Imperial weapon, and some were even debating who should win this battle.

After glancing at Lionel's explanation of what had just happened over the communicator, Abigail walked toward the now completely dead giant armored beast.

"This thing is really big. Now I'm quite curious about how big the other legendary creatures are."

Abigail murmured to herself, just then a mech appeared beside her.

The captain of the second squad climbed down from the mech.

"Miss Abigail, you are truly amazing."

"It seems you already know what just happened."

"Yes, the leader has told us everything you've done. You're really amazing. Since we met, you've brought us so many surprises, most of which we've never heard of before. Sometimes I really wonder if you're not from this world. It's said that there are other worlds beyond this one. Although it's just a hypothesis, seeing you makes me feel that only this can explain it."

Listening to the second squad leader's joke, it has to be said, by sheer chance, he was right. Of course, he had no idea he was right. At that moment, he was merely expressing his surprise at what Abigail had done in this way.

"By the way, has Lionel figured out what to do with this giant tortoise?"

At this point, the captain of the second squad couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Actually, the captain probably doesn't know what to do either. Who would have thought that the giant armored beast with the strongest defense would be killed like this? However, abandoning it is probably impossible. At least we must find a way to take away the outer layer of armor of the giant armored beast, and we don't even know what valuable things are inside its body."

Just then, the captain's communicator rang.

He then connected the communicator, which was used by the regimental commander to issue orders to each squad.

"The commander has given the order. Given the immense value of the giant armored beast, we may have to stay here for the night. The communications department will use the ultra-long-range communicator to contact Leopold. What we need to do now is guard the giant armored beast's corpse and begin preliminary exploration."

"Oh, are we going to stay another night? This place isn't comfortable to sleep in. Oh right, we've finished eating the big bird from yesterday. We need to find some new food today. I wonder if the meat of this big turtle is any good."

“If the meat of the giant armored beast is really edible, given its size, even if the entire population of a city ate it for a year, you still wouldn’t be able to finish it. Miss Abigail, I have other things to do next, so I’ll be leaving now.”

After saying that, the captain climbed into his mech and left.

In the following time, the entire Third Mech Regiment gathered around the giant armored beast's body to defend it. Abigail tried to find edible parts inside the beast's body. However, the result was that the thing's interior was also composed of various mineral structures; it really was a creature that ate dirt.

Finally, having no other choice, Abigail could only find some ordinary animals. She originally wanted to find another Sako bird, but all the birds had vanished without a trace, and who knows where they had fled to.

Meanwhile, news that the Third Mech Regiment had killed a giant armored beast reached Emperor Ivan the Great in the capital that very night. After all, this was a momentous event worthy of being recorded in history.

Is this really true?

"Yes, Your Majesty. This message came directly from the Lord of Leopold, so it should be true."

"Giant beast, I want to see that guy named Abigail."

"I understand. I will pass on the message and have Abigail come to see His Majesty."

The ministers did not find Ivan the Great's decision to meet Abigail unusual. During Ivan the Great's reign, many scientists and inventors from the common people had already gained his favor.

As the minister turned and left, Ivan's thoughts were quite different.

"Starlight Burst... Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha?"

Although there was no video, based on the scene described in the report, Ivan was quite certain that this was Nanoha's signature move, Starburst. Without a doubt, Abigail, like him, was also a transmigrator.

Just as Abigail had guessed, the man named Ivan was indeed a time traveler. And not from Earth, the 97th extraterrestrial world, but from another Earth, a world where the anime/manga series *Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha* existed.

"This must be the second timer I've encountered. I wonder what kind of surprise you'll bring me this time. I'm really looking forward to it."

Meanwhile, Abigail was unaware that her casual actions had already caught Ivan's attention, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. That's the confidence of someone with real power.

After a night's rest, the transport corps that had come from Leopold joined up with the Third Armored Regiment. Also arriving was a man who appeared to be from the Imperial capital, Leander, who arrogantly demanded that Abigail meet him.

"Are you Abigail?"

"Well, it's me."

In the camp where the commander was stationed, a man dressed as a noble official looked at Abigail and asked her a question.

"Someone wants to see you. Come back with me right now. What a lucky guy."

The official looked arrogant and seemed to look down on Abigail, whom he considered a commoner.

"Honestly, if it weren't for orders from above, I wouldn't want to come to this godforsaken place. It's full of sand and dust, and I'm covered in dirt. And they actually made me, the noble one, pick up a commoner kid."

Abigail felt quite annoyed by the officials who looked at her like she was a lucky person.

"Who are you? Why should I listen to you?"

"I am a nobleman of the empire. How dare you, a commoner, disobey my orders?"

"So what if I disobey? What can you do to me?"

"You are incredibly audacious! Today I will show you what the consequences are for disobeying a noble's orders! Guards, seize her!"

Clearly used to it, the official, without a word, immediately tried to order his men to arrest Abigail. However, to his surprise, no one around moved, making his actions appear quite comical.

"What are you all doing? Seize this lowly commoner who dares to offend me!"

However, even though he appeared extremely angry, no one responded to him. In fact, those around him seemed to be laughing at him.

"You...you..."

Seeing the soldiers around him making no attempt to hide their mockery, the noble official's face turned red with anger.

"Commander of the Third Mech Regiment, look at your soldiers! How dare they disobey my orders, given that I am a nobleman? Is this the kind of soldiers you've trained?"

"I don't need you to judge what kind of soldiers I've trained. I advise you to think carefully about how you're going to go back and explain this."

In fact, Lionel also disliked this official very much. Moreover, Lionel considered Abigail one of his own, and how could he not stand up for her when she was being bullied?

"you you......"

The official pointed at Lionel, trembling and unable to speak.

"Lieutenant, see the guests out."

Then the adjutant walked over, a mocking smile on his face, and said to the official:

"Sir, let's go."

"You...you all..."

The official then left angrily, since he had no other recourse but to get angry.

"Is this person mentally ill?"

After the official left, Abigail looked at Lionel speechlessly and asked...

"You'll get used to it. This is the imperial nobility, a bunch of arrogant fools. Even though His Majesty has made efforts to deal with them, there are still so many like them. This guy probably doesn't know that His Majesty wants to see you. If he knew, he certainly wouldn't be acting like this."

"Oh, so he's just cannon fodder! Not even a minor character."

Abigail said with a look of disdain.

“Abigail, although this guy is despicable, he did bring His Majesty’s orders. I will arrange for someone to take you to the capital. Please make some preparations.”

"Alright, for your sake, I'll go and meet that Emperor Ivan the Great. To be honest, I'm quite interested in that guy."

“Abigail, although I know this is your personality, you can’t be so rude in front of His Majesty. Although His Majesty may not care about these things, as a subject, you must show the most basic respect.”

"Oh, okay, no problem."

Abigail gave a perfunctory reply. Although she had verbally agreed, how she should face His Majesty in the end would depend on Ivan the Great's performance.

"By the way, what about my mecha? You promised me that."

"Don't worry, the mech will be reserved for you, as long as you're still willing to come to the front lines then."

Lionel said with a smile.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll head back now."

Afterwards, the Third Armored Regiment escorted the transport troops from Leopold back to Leopold. Abigail was originally supposed to board an airship bound for Leander after arriving in Leopold. However, a major event occurred there.

Chapter 199 Danger Approaching

Today, Abigail finally witnessed just how helpless a city can be under the threat of a behemoth.

Not long after the group arrived in Leopold, while people were still focused on the huge carcass of the giant armored beast, a colossal creature was quietly moving towards Leopold.

Leopold, a vital industrial city in the Empire, is home to mecha manufacturing plants. Unlike Seko, a commercial city with only a small garrison, Leopold is equipped with a full regiment of guards. Furthermore, Leopold's city walls are heavily fortified with magical cannons.

Furthermore, because Leopold manufactures mechs, this group's mechs are always kept in excellent condition. However, in return, the area is frequently attacked by the kingdom. Even if they can't occupy the area, simply destroying the mech manufacturing plant would effectively weaken the empire's strength.

However, all of this will vanish after today.

Meanwhile, in a vast open area outside Leopold, the carcass of the giant armored beast was transported here. The open area was also packed with people who had come to see the legendary creature.

It's important to know that, in human history, apart from one giant armored beast that was once defeated by a nation's combined efforts, no one has been able to defeat any other legendary creature to date.
