As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"Am I right? His Majesty will definitely come to save us."

"Hahaha, you were right this time!"

"Alright, hurry up and get the soldiers to reunite with His Majesty. But why did His Majesty come alone?"

"The reinforcements are probably just behind us. Look, His Majesty's mech is clearly more powerful than any of the mechs currently in use."

"That's true."

So, the soldiers who were originally stationed inside the city for defense came out of the city one by one in their mechs.

"What on earth is going on? And what's with that mech?! Damn it, I've never heard of them having such a powerful mech."

"Commander, what do we do now? It looks like their reinforcements have arrived. Should we retreat?"

"No retreat! It's just one mech! Charge! Everyone, charge! I refuse to believe that one mech can stop us. We have the advantage now!"

At this moment, the commander decided to take a desperate gamble. Although the previous attack had been blocked by this mech, their forces still had the advantage in numbers. So what if the enemy had sent such a powerful-looking mech? Even ants can kill an elephant. Could their many soldiers be stopped by an extra mech?

As a result, the two armies clashed directly outside Leopold City.

At this moment, Abigail was floating in the air, watching the fierce battle below.

As you can see, in this world, the Zaku is truly invincible. The super alloy defense of its construction is so strong that it doesn't even need to defend against the opponent's magic cannon, because it simply cannot be penetrated.

In terms of attack, the Zaku's attacks are almost 100% accurate, and its powerful fire control system equipped with AI-assisted aiming directly increases its combat power.

Although it looked like a battle between two sides, the fight seemed to be his personal showcase. It felt like Zaku alone could wipe out the entire enemy army.

Under such circumstances, the morale of the Mid Kingdom, which was initially confident of victory, plummeted. Some even deserted.

On the other hand, seeing their emperor so brave and fearless, the soldiers were naturally filled with excitement and their morale soared.

This rise and fall directly widened the gap.

"Commander, we can't hold them off any longer. Let's retreat, or it will be too late."

At this moment, the commander behind the army looked at the tall mech with hatred.

Bang.........

"hateful!"

He slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

"retreat!!"

With the commander's order given, the soldiers who were still fighting breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around without hesitation, increased their speed to the maximum, and ran away.

Seeing the soldiers turn and leave, Ivan, who was controlling the Zaku, did not order them to pursue.

Firstly, while he could catch up with his own Zaku, the other mechs couldn't. Although he wasn't afraid of them, it would still be quite troublesome for him to catch up alone.

Moreover, there are too many of these people. If they just scatter, I will have no way to pursue them again.

"Go ahead and run, let's see where you can run to. Soon, I will lead my army and crush your Kingdom of Mid!"

After saying that, Ivan turned around and looked at the warriors who had fought alongside him.

"Gentlemen, I now declare this war a victory for us!"

Cheers immediately followed throughout Leopold.

Next, the battlefield was cleaned up.

These soldiers have done this countless times.

However, this time, it was a bit more solemn than before.

"Is this the weapon they used to fire those powerful magic beams?"

At this moment, in a research lab in Leopold, Ivan was observing a staff that seemed no different from the others.

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to our energy analysis, the magic power within is far greater than that of the staves equipped by other ordinary soldiers. Moreover, he had already consumed a large amount of magic power before this, yet even the remaining amount is still enormous."

One of the researchers, wearing a white lab coat, held up a report and addressed the group.

"Were there any other discoveries besides these?"

"Your Majesty, we tested the materials of this staff and found that although it is similar in appearance to other staffs, it is made of different materials. The maximum amount of magic power that other staffs can withstand is negligible compared to this staff. However, we do not know the specific materials of this staff. But, judging from the fact that the other party only has one, it should be a very rare or difficult-to-manufacture material."

"Okay, continue the research. Let me know if there are any new developments."

After saying that, Ivan turned and left the research lab.

"His Majesty."

On the way back, Lionel came to Ivan's side.

"Lionel, it's been a long time since I've seen you. You seem to be in good spirits."

"Yes, it's been about half a year."

"It's been about half a year. You've been with me for quite a while now. What do you think I'll do next?"

"Your Majesty, based on my understanding of you, you probably want to press your advantage and pursue the victory directly."

“That’s right, but we have to wait a bit longer. After all, Leopold has been through so many battles, and the soldiers are quite exhausted. I also need to gather more troops. I’ve already notified the First, Second, and Fourth Mech Regiments, and I believe they will be able to assemble here soon.”

"How confident is Your Majesty this time?"

"Ten percent."

Ivan said confidently.

Lionel smiled upon hearing Ivan's words. In his heart, since Ivan had given such certainty, victory was inevitable.

"Let's go, let's have a good victory celebration today, and let all the soldiers enjoy the joy of this victory."

Looking at Ivan's hearty smile, Lionel knew that the man now was the same valiant general he had followed back then.

"Yes!"

............

In contrast to the singing and dancing outside, a man dressed as a nobleman was making a phone call in a room.

"What is it?"

A muffled voice came from the phone.

"My lord, Leopold has held out."

"You held on? Tell me the details."

"Yes."

Then, the nobleman recounted the events that had occurred.

"Really? That guy is still so...unpredictable. What are his plans next?"

"According to my intelligence, he seems to be preparing to launch a general offensive and directly occupy the Kingdom of Mid.

"I see. But why did he suddenly make such a decision? But it's also a stroke of luck. It seems our revival plan can begin."

Upon hearing the man's words on the phone, the nobleman was startled, but then his face lit up with excitement.

"Is the master finally going to take action?"

"Okay, now you keep an eye on that guy's situation and notify me immediately if there are any new changes."

"Yes, I understand. I will tell the adults everything he did."

"Yes, very good. As long as our operation succeeds, His Highness will ensure you receive the reward you deserve."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

The other party then hung up the phone.

Even so, the nobleman's face still retained the excitement from before.

"Father, the wait is over, the wait is finally over. I will definitely make our family regain its former glory."

At this moment, Ivan was still unaware that a conspiracy was unfolding against him; he was currently enjoying drinks and conversation with the warriors in the city.

Honestly, the fact that the emperor of the empire was so close to the people made the soldiers at the victory banquet feel flattered.

Abigail naturally attended the celebration party as well.

At the celebration party, Abigail unexpectedly ran into Jessica.

To Abigail's even greater surprise, Jessica has now become a full-fledged mech pilot.

"Jessica, I didn't expect that you would seize the opportunity to become a mecha pilot in the short time I was away."

"It was also due to luck. Because of the Mid Kingdom's construction project, all available combat forces were put to use, and I was able to obtain a mecha. However, for some reason, the captain gave me the latest model mecha. He even initially wanted to give one to Buddy, but that guy was disappointing."

Jessica glanced at Buddy beside her as she spoke.

Buddy noticed Jessica's gaze and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"I see. It seems he still remembers the agreement."

"The previous agreement?"

Jessica asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

"Oh, by the way, Abigail, how did you suddenly disappear? You were still inside your mech before the battle ended, but when the battlefield was being cleaned up, your mech was still there, but you had vanished."

"Oh, you mean that? Don't worry about it. Some things are hard to explain. This involves imperial secrets, and you don't want to be..."

As Abigail spoke, she made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Is it that serious? Okay, then I won't ask anymore."

Seeing Abigail's serious expression, Jessica was genuinely intimidated by her pretense.

And so, the evening passed by in a blur of jokes and banter.

Afterwards, Abigail and his men stayed at the factory for two more days while waiting for the other legions to assemble, and nothing particularly noteworthy happened during those two days.

Two days later.

On the city wall, Ivan looked down at the massive army and smiled.

There were also four regimental commanders standing beside him.
