Time flew by.

Under Mika, Airmid, and Mellie's rule, the once-declining Empire flourished, brimming with newfound vitality.

Thanks to Mellie's meticulous planning, the railway construction proceeded smoothly and was expected to reach Esdeath's northern territories soon.

Unlike Mika's previous world, this world possessed extraordinary powers. Influenced by this, the people were inherently stronger, and forging iron was a relatively simple task.

After all, they had already developed firearms.

Furthermore, with Dr. Stylish's scientific expertise, and the Empire's resources dedicated to this project, progress was rapid.

This was the legacy of a thousand-year-old empire.

"These are turbulent times," Mika mused, looking at the map spread before him. The routes marked in red indicated the path of Tatsumi's army, currently campaigning against the southern tribes.

Since Night Raid's departure, Tatsumi, Wave, and Run had rejoined the military, continuing their training in leadership and strategy.

After Esdeath's northern campaign concluded, and her troops returned to the capital for rest and reward, they had been dispatched south under Tatsumi's command.

"Thanks to Mellie's influence, the military commanders are united and respect Tatsumi despite his relative lack of experience."

"With their support, and Tatsumi's willingness to heed their advice, this campaign should proceed without a hitch."

"Moreover, the southern tribes don't possess any Teigu. Even if they encounter setbacks on the battlefield, our Teigu users can easily turn the tide."

Thinking of this, Mika rolled up the map and set it aside.

He had no concerns about Tatsumi's campaign. Both the northern and southern tribes had been weakened by Esdeath's previous conquests.

While ignoring them would allow them to recover, treating them as serious threats would be an overestimation. They couldn't muster any significant resistance.

"However, with so many large-scale projects underway, caution is still necessary."

The Empire's military was currently divided into four forces:

One, under Esdeath's command, securing the northern territories.

Another, led by Tatsumi, campaigning against the southern tribes.

A third, commanded by Airmid, stationed in the capital, ready to be deployed anywhere.

And the final force, secretly dispatched to the southern provinces to prevent the Revolutionary Army from gaining further ground.

Coupled with the ongoing railway construction, the Empire was indeed bustling with activity.

"But it will all be worth it." Mika smiled and returned to his official duties.

He soon came across a report on the Path of the Forge's development.

The new faith had spread throughout the Empire, particularly in the counties surrounding the capital, and had taken root in the villages and towns. These areas were now firmly under Mika's control.

"Excellent work." Satisfied with the progress, he finished reviewing the remaining documents. Thanks to Mellie, only the most important matters reached his desk.
