Chapter 2722: Chapter 1173: Winter Banquet

"Yes, this is the exclusive flying mount prepared for you, to assist you in inspecting the realm. This is our latest model of the Armed Ray Fish, not only has the layout been readjusted, but the equipment carried with it has also been significantly improved and upgraded." Gaven’s expression carried an irrepressible sense of pride.

This was modified overnight after learning of Zalanda’s pregnancy.

"Making it my exclusive flying mount seems a bit wasteful, there are plenty of places in our realm that could use it!" Zalanda’s eyebrows revealed her undisguised delight, but her reason outweighed her emotion.

Although the number of Armed Ray Fish under Gaven’s control was gradually increasing, having already surpassed single digits, just the adult Ray Fish alone had reached twelve.

However, his realm was sufficiently scattered, and the need to employ them was substantial, making it often difficult to manage.

"Good steel should be used on the cutting edge, serving as your flying mount is not wasteful but rather the greatest manifestation of its value." Gaven always had his reasoning, "Come, let me give you a detailed introduction to their functions, after you see it, you can decide whether it’s wasteful."

Gaven cast the Flying Spell on both of them, slowly flying towards the Armed Ray Fish.

Seeing the figures of the two, the egg-shaped cabin on the underside of the Armed Ray Fish slowly opened, two rows of Knights dressed in white heraldic robes embroidered with the Red Knight insignia awaited on both sides, bowing and greeting, "First Lord Knight/Third Lord Knight."

From how they addressed Gaven and Zalanda, it was clear they were all Holy Strategists from the exclusive altar of the Lady Strategy.

"At ease." Gaven waved his hand, "Go about your own business, we will tour by ourselves."

"As you command." The two teams of Holy Strategists left in neat unison, heading to their respective posts.

This was commonplace for Gaven and Zalanda, as it was the standard configuration for the exclusive altar of Strategy, and had long since become integrated into their realm.

Zalanda curiously observed the surroundings, it was compact but not cramped, many places were made of air glass, providing a clear view of the situation below.

"Here is your personal bedroom, though it is only thirty square meters, it suffices for your personal living quarters.

This is the nursery, after the three little ones are born, you can keep them by your side at any time.

Here is the communal dining area, with supplies that can sustain a full complement for half a month.

This is the lecture hall, not only capable of amplifying, but also projecting your image in a giant projection to inspire.

This is the combat command room, capable of zooming the battlefield information below onto a phantom sand table through aerial overhead scanning, facilitating an overall view and remote command.

Here’s the strategists’ chamber, which can accommodate twenty strategists to assist you in your work, equipped according to your preference.

Above is the Shadow Summoning Array, activated it can directly summon support from Weizemay Manor, with several Shadow Teams always on standby, each having at least quasi-legendary strength, not only rich in combat experience but also capable of a second summoning, directly calling on Slaughter Undead from the Bottomless Abyss’s Slaughter Territory for assistance, the type of Undead summoned is based on your needs.

In addition, four Shadow Flyers are stationed half a kilometer away on all sides, providing invisible escort protection."

Gaven thoroughly introduced the configuration of this Queen ship.

It had basically eliminated its own combat capabilities, primarily serving as an aerial vehicle, with all abilities focused on support, capable of mobilizing speeches and conducting real-time battlefield command.

Both the attack and defense capabilities were entrusted to the more specialized Shadow Flyers and summoning abilities.

"You’ve thought this through thoroughly." Zalanda praised without hesitation, without blindly refusing.

This Queen ship was not only practical but also an excellent tool to showcase status and strength.

Compared to land inspection, it saved time and effort and could save a substantial amount of money.

The inspection of the realm by a King or a Lord was an important task for Rulers.

Such actions maintained the stability of the entire realm, enhanced communication with local lieges, and deepened mutual affection.

"Now is the best time for inspection, to reassure and invigorate the confidence of the lieges, by the time the inspection is completed, the Midwinter Festival will be around the corner." Gaven had clearly planned out Zalanda’s upcoming schedule.

"Alright, we’ll do as you say." Zalanda readily agreed.

Cloud Manta’s hover flight mode was extremely stable in the air, making it imperceptible inside.

Even as a Quasi-Legendary Warrior, nearing maternity, she only experienced slight inconvenience in movement, unable to engage in vigorous activities, riding the Armed Ray Fish without any hindrance.

After a bit of preparation, they set out on the third day on the path to inspect the realm, tracing a large counterclockwise circle along the Conqueror Path.

Throughout the journey, they flew at ultra-low altitude, allowing the lieges below to clearly see the shape of the Armed Ray Fish.

To avoid unnecessary disturbances, Zalanda first dispatched Messengers to warn the lieges along the way.

Instead, it created a promotional effect, every place the Queen ship passed drew countless cheers and crowds from the lieges, and Zalanda would seize the opportunity to give a speech, maximizing cohesion and boosting morale.

The lieges were incredibly humble, compared to a king whose very name they might not know, Zalanda was undoubtedly a more tangible presence, truly appearing before them to encourage and uplift, solving practical problems and making their lives better.
