Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1580: Chapter 850: Drama Master, Fifth Princess (Part 3)

After a simple farewell with Blue Mountain, Black headed to the Third Division to report in.

Blue Mountain watched the back of the Crimson Blood Team, lost in thought. He turned to Lu Zhe and said, “I am the eldest son of the Kennedy Marquis. Can you help me get a message? I wish to visit Marquis Bolton?”

…

…

The Duke of Storm City has arrived.

The massive black aerial fortress, the Storm, slowly arrived above the outpost base. Around it, hundreds of floating airships hovered, like birds around a towering tree.

The sky was obscured, and everyone couldn’t help but look up at the base of the Storm.

On it were countless main firepower railguns and hives for charging drones.

It looked extraordinarily magnificent.

An aerial fortress was like a city in the sky, the most formidable strategic weapon above the heavens.

The next moment, hundreds of floating airships descended, preparing to dock at the outpost base for refueling and rearming.

The last time the Duke of Storm City impeached Marquis Bolton was because, a year and a half ago, the Roosevelt Kingdom went to war with the Giant Dynasty over minerals. The Duke’s fleet passed by here wanting to dock, but there wasn’t even a place on the ground for the airships to land.

After landing, the Duke’s soldiers couldn’t find weapons, couldn’t find fuel, and even ended up eating half-cooked potatoes in the mess hall…

It was utterly absurd.

This time was different. Hundreds of floating airships landed simultaneously, and within less than half an hour, they were all docked, adhering to the strictest standards… even though half of the ground at the outpost base had cracked.

Meanwhile, an even larger floating airship descended from the aerial fortress.

Those with discernment knew this was the ride gifted by King Roosevelt to the four major dukes.

After landing, the Duke of Storm City, standing over two meters tall and draped in a black robe, walked down from the floating airship slowly. Overlooking the masses, he calmly asked, “This time, the outpost base looks decent. Where is Bolton? Why hasn’t he come out to see me?”

The Duke of Storm City is a master, not only because of his demigod rank but also his ability in military campaigns.

So, outsiders might look at the operations of the outpost base and only see order, unable to comment further.

But only the Duke of Storm City and Black Spider knew how difficult it was to maintain that order after all the officers were executed!

Ruling a large country is like cooking a small fish; only someone who has managed an outpost base knows how difficult it is. Tens of thousands of commands had to be issued daily. How did one Bolton manage without officers?

Is Bolton some artificial intelligence?

Of course, Bolton is not.

Black Spider, following behind the Duke of Storm City, said quietly, “The previous communication mentioned he just finished his duties and went to sleep.”

The Duke of Storm City snorted coldly, “Went to sleep? Have you checked the Superconductor World?”

“He just deleted his account and restarted; we don’t know his ID yet and can’t find him,” Black Spider said softly.

The Duke of Storm City said, “Let’s go, let’s see if this political rising star has been disguising himself for three years, or if he’s been assisted by someone outstanding. I spoke with him before, If he was playing dumb back then, I would think more highly of him. But if not, the talent beside Bolton needs to be identified and brought to me, for he’s wasted by staying with Bolton.”

With that, a large group of people surged towards the office building.

As they moved, Black Spider signaled to her elite arbiters, suggesting they subtly surround the office building.

In reality, she and the Duke of Storm City did not trust Bolton’s abilities. Bolton used to be a minor actor; do you really believe he acted clueless for three years and then suddenly became a political adept with repeated successes?

Most would believe it, but not the Duke of Storm City.

So they came today to uncover Bolton’s true nature and take the talent with them.

Meanwhile, another floating airship flew in from the sky, quickly landing at the outpost base.

Black Spider’s pupils slightly contracted when she saw the Drama Master’s emblem: a purely golden scepter painted on the airship’s hull.

The airship opened its bridge, and a slender woman in a black robe, with its hood over her head, stepped down.

The Duke of Storm City paused, nodded slightly, and said coolly, “So it’s the Fifth Princess Royal who has arrived.”

The Fifth Princess walked past him, not stopping.

After taking a few steps, she returned, looking up at the Duke of Storm City, “My father said he saw fragments of my fate, but he only told you, is that true?”

The Duke of Storm City replied, “Yes, Fifth Princess Royal.”

“What is my fate?” the Fifth Princess inquired.

“You can ask His Majesty yourself.”

The Fifth Princess stared at the Duke of Storm City, “Did he see your fate fragment?”

“No, he hasn’t.”

The Fifth Princess smiled, “Perhaps I will soon see your fate, and I’ll share it with you then.”

The Duke of Storm City frowned slightly; this Fifth Princess was clearly suggesting that she was about to cross into the realm of demigods, as only demigod Drama Masters could see the fate of demigods!

No wonder the Fifth Princess’s power has grown so significant, being able even to appoint a wastrel as commander of an outpost base.

In the Royal City, choices have been quietly made.

This Fifth Princess will become someone the Kingdom cannot ignore.

The Duke of Storm City laughed, “Then congratulations to the Fifth Princess.”

“Thank you,” the Fifth Princess continued into the building, “Let’s see what my husband is up to. He has probably been working hard recently. I brought a new novice edict from my father; after this war, he will return to the Central Royal City to take over the Mechanical Manufacturing Department, though I think this might just be a transition. I might hope more for him to take over the Logistics Department, what do you think?”

The Mechanical Manufacturing Department controls the production license and certification of all mechanical limbs, holding real power but is not core.

But the Logistics Department is different, it’s part of the Military Committee, holding real substantial power.

The Duke of Storm City was indifferent, “As long as the Princess is happy.”

In the history of the Roosevelt Kingdom, there have been seven female emperors in nearly a thousand years, and no one can be certain whether this Fifth Princess will become the eighth.

The elite arbiter forces withdrew, no longer surrounding the office building; the Duke of Storm City decided to observe further.
