30. Landing Operation

* * *

 

 

 

 

 

 

A strong wind blowing from the sea.

Countless masts and flags at their peaks stretch into the hundreds and thousands.

 

 

“It’s incredible.”

 

 

A spectacle so grand it’s hard to believe.

Hancock and Lamias went to Agnillo as the advance team, but even so, hundreds of ships were anchored, waiting for their turn.

 

 

Especially the ships-of-the-line were so large that they were truly jaw-dropping.

They were larger than any ship previously built, even larger than those of the Mei Empire, and the cannons on their sides inspired fear.

 

 

“Indeed. The sight of the sailors and soldiers boarding is also quite a sight.”

 

 

Iliana left a short comment.

 

 

Besides the sword at her waist, she also carried a large sack on her back, which was a custom-made firearm gifted by Muninn.

It’s been several months since she started carrying it around, seemingly quite pleased with it.

Her marksmanship was as excellent as Aran’s archery skills.

 

 

“Some nobles are anxious, but… seeing these ships will dispel those feelings.”

 

 

He looked at the soldiers boarding the ships.

They were all looking at the ships with curious eyes, especially the new ship-of-the-line.

 

 

“Hehe. This is all my money.”

 

 

Moe put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.

 

“That’s right. Thank you.”

“Hmph. If you’re thankful, you should treat me better.”

 

 

It’s a legendary tale, but true, that she personally funded the construction of 100 ships-of-the-line, nicknamed ‘money-eating hippos’. He clearly saw the number ‘7,000 Stadions’ printed on her bank account.

 

 

“The construction costs, maintenance costs, and even the remodeling costs were all from my own pocket.”

 

She approached Aran as if wanting something.

However, she didn’t say anything and only wore a meaningful smile.

 

 

“…What do you want?”

“Stroke my hair or something.”

 

 

Iliana spat out those words and boarded the flagship.

 

“Hmm….”

 

 

Moe subtly offered her head as if she really wanted it.

It was barely noticeable unless you looked closely, but it was definitely there.

 

 

He cautiously raised his hand and gently placed it on her head.

 

 

“Heu-heung.”

 

Moe made a strange expression.

Whether it was good or not. It would be nice to have accurate feedback.

 

 

“Be grateful to me.”

 

And then she proudly sticks out her chest again.

 

For a moment, Aran felt mischievous and grabbed her plump breasts.

 

“Hik!”

 

 

Moe flinched and was startled.

 

 

“Haha! Then I’ll be going now.”

“Eiii! I don’t like this treatment! I don’t like it!”

 

Moe kicked the floor wildly and rampaged.

 

 

“I’m going to beat you up when you get back!”

“Okay. See you then.”

 

 

With that, Aran boarded the flagship.

 

Cornelia and Theodora were already swamped with work and couldn’t say goodbye, but he didn’t feel sad because he knew it wasn’t the last time.

 

 

‘I can come back anytime I want.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When he boarded the flagship, Terrin and Iliana were already giving various orders and commanding the sailors.

 

 

“Is it three years by the count?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The war with Srodia. I commanded a large army back then too.”

“Ah.”

“I wasn’t there at that time, though.”

 

Terrin smiled awkwardly.

 

At that time, she was traveling all over the place, following her wanderlust.

 

 

“Where were you, Duchess?”

“I was packing ginseng tightly in Goryeo. I remember the pirates I encountered back then. They were riding Panokseon, coastal warships, and came all the way to the ocean.”

 

 

‘Of course, I killed them all,’ Terrin added.

With her strength, it would be strange for her to be captured by pirates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the supplies and soldiers were all loaded, the entire fleet finally unfurled its sails.

They fluttered in the wind and began to move towards the sea in order.

 

 

“I’ll be in command, so Your Highness should spend time with Mama.”

 

 

Terrin pushed Aran and Iliana into the cabin with a sly smile.

 

 

Located at the rear of the ship-of-the-line, this fairly large space was mostly glass walls, and beyond them was a balcony where you could clearly see the scenery of the sea and the spectacle of the fleet.

 

 

“Hmph. Well, since the Duchess is doing that, let’s leave it to her.”

 

Iliana said that and put down the weapons she was wearing on the table in the middle.

Then she looked beyond the glass that covered almost the entire front.

 

 

The fluttering masts, the soldiers moving on the deck, and the ships cutting through the waves were spread out like a painting.

 

 

She approached with slow steps as if possessed by something and touched the glass.

 

 

A truly complex feeling.

 

 

War is never good, but for some reason, she felt like she couldn’t escape it.

This was already the second war she had experienced as Aran’s wife.

And this time, it was an unprecedented war involving millions, far exceeding the scale of the world wars that had occurred in the past.

 

 

The Mei Empire’s army alone numbered four million, and the Holy Kingdom’s army numbered one million. It was also unknown how many more reinforcements the Western Continent would send.

 

 

‘Maybe… ten million people will participate in the war…’

 

 

Seueuk.

 

 

Aran’s arms wrapped around her waist as she was lost in thought.

And his hand went down to her buttocks.

 

 

“…What are you doing?”

 

She turned around.

 

 

“I just thought the scenery was nice.”

“….”

 

 

If the scenery is nice, you should look at the scenery, why are you caressing me!

 

 

She was taken aback, but didn’t refuse.

 

 

“Didn’t Nuna just come in here for this purpose?”

 

 

He raised his hand that was around her waist and bit one of her breasts.

The soft flesh and the clothes covering it slipped out between his fingers.

 

 

“…Hmph. Pervert.”

 

 

She glanced at him and pulled up her short skirt, revealing her bare thighs.

If she lifted it a little more, her black lace underwear would be visible, but she stopped her hand right at that precarious moment.

 

 

“You take it off.”

 

She whispered with a voice already filled with moisture, and moved her hand to grab his thing.

It was clearly visible even through his clothes, and it throbbed as if happy to meet the woman’s hand.

 

 

While Aran pulled down her underwear, she took off Aran’s clothes.

 

With their lower bodies exposed, Aran kissed her neck and thrust his hips forward.

Iliana guided his thing into her forest.

 

 

Kkuuk.

 

 

“Eueung….”

 

 

His thing penetrated through the snugly wrapping vaginal walls.

It went deeper and deeper, finally reaching the entrance to her womb.

 

 

“Heueut…uh, when…is it this big…aahng….”

 

 

She moaned and leaned against the glass wall with both hands.

 

 

“Don’t you need foreplay?”

 

In my experience, women don’t get turned on without foreplay. Except for women like Seorae or Seorae or Seorae. (And Terrin too)

 

 

Iliana is a pervert, but not to that extent….

 

“It’s okay.”

 

 

She moved slightly, moaning ‘Heueut…’.

Judging by how wet she was inside, she seemed to be already excited.

 

 

‘I knew she was thinking this.’

 

 

Sex on a ship, watching the fleet beyond the glass.

It felt different.

 

 

Aran moved inside her and said.

 

 

“But Nuna,”

“Eueung…what is it…haahng….”

“Everyone’s watching.”

“Heuet?”

 

She was surprised and raised her head.

Oh my god.

The soldiers of the fleet following behind were drooling and staring.

 

 

“Th, they can see?!”

“Of course they can see.”

 

Except for the door to the balcony, the entire front is glass.

They can’t help but see.

And if there are soldiers with good eyesight….

 

 

“Eut…!”

 

 

Was it because of the thought of being seen?

Her vagina contracted strongly.

 

 

“Are you getting excited by showing yourself off?”

“There’s no way…!”

 

 

She didn’t know what to do and tried to stop, but Aran didn’t allow it.

He pushed her struggling body against the glass wall and moved his hips.

 

 

“Aheueuk! W, wait a minute…Araan! Haeuk!”

 

 

Aran churned inside her, hitting her fair buttocks with his thighs.

After all, she had shown herself explicitly when she was in Athens.

She was even enjoying various role-playing scenarios back then, so now it didn’t matter if she was seen having ordinary(?) sex.

 

 

He went even further and lifted one of Iliana’s legs.

 

 

“Hiik?! N, no Aran! This is really not okay!”

 

She screamed, but Aran moved roughly and blocked her struggles.

 

“They’re all women anyway.”

“Heuek! Still! Aheuk!”

 

She says that, but her body seems to be heating up.

Water poured out of her vulva every time his thing stabbed into her.
