This is a conclusion I reached after much thought.
I couldn't let go of Shub Ardella.
She was a princess who ruled over the fish-people, cannibals of the sea, and an admiral of the Cheonchang fleet.
All of the high-ranking officers and captains of the Cheonchang Fleet are mermaids.
When she fulfills her thousand-year oath and returns to the abyss, all of the fleet's high-ranking officials will evaporate.
Then even a powerful fleet would end up like a headless snake.
Jerilis and Mateos are preparing for a large-scale amphibious landing and seaborne supply operation.
Her assistance was indispensable in the fight against the Amir emirates of the Southern Continent.
Also, even if she did help in the war as a mermaid princess, not everything would go well.
Unlike other races, mermaids tend to view humans as prey, and Shuv Ardella even had a tribe of fishmen under her command.
The moment she vows revenge for a thousand years of oppression, the southern coast of the Empire will burn.
The fish people who came up onto land will hold a banquet full of people.
The fleet that has to stop it is the Cheonchang fleet, and its former admiral is Shuv Ardella.
For the Emperor and the Saint's operations, and to manage the Empire's dangers, she can never be released.
I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but it's something that needs to be done.
Well then, someone has to do it.
This was my reward for her devotion.
I looked down at Shuv Ardella.
She sat inside a giant seashell and glared at me.
Her blue eyes sparkled like a tidal wave about to collapse.
“I have served you for a thousand years.”
There was an indescribable emotion in that beautiful voice.
I raised my chin arrogantly and smiled smugly.
“If I’ve been doing this for a thousand years, wouldn’t it be okay to live like that for the rest of my life?”
“I! I kept my oath!”
It wasn't an unreasonable excuse.
“You used the fish tribe without telling us.”
“!”
“I understand that. You also needed swordsmen to shed blood on behalf of your people. But isn’t it the law that a lord takes responsibility for his subordinates? The incident caused by the fish-men in the southern seas is also your responsibility. Still, did you faithfully fulfill your oath?”
That goes against the rule to 'protect the southern seas'.
Shuv Ardella also took a deep breath as if he noticed it.
Her face turned pale.
I laughed like crazy and shouted.
“Serve us forever! Shuv Ardella!”
Saaaaah-!
The golden aura of the dragon's words rose gently around me.
At the same time, the dragon that had been seeping into Shuv Ardella reacted.
Crackle, crackle!
Golden lightning burst from within her, tightening around her body like a net.
“Kwaaaaak!”
The mermaid princess screamed, and I held out my golden hand.
“Catch me. We’re going together. So that this world doesn’t end.”
Shuv Ardella looked up at me with bloodshot eyes.
She shook her head with a small but firm gesture.
“You might as well kill me, Soletaras.”
And then, as she cried out, she cried out in a beautiful and majestic voice.
“I will kill you! For my freedom and the freedom of my race!”
Yeah, that's how it should be.
A mermaid princess with lush red hair, deep blue eyes, and a mysterious yet passionate impression.
She puffed out her chest and looked up at the sky as she sang.
“Follow me. Save me.”
Bubbling, bubbling!
The next moment, the ring of lakes surrounding the sand island began to boil violently.
“Your Majesty Valen.”
Srrrrrr!
Tentia Kyung took out the Manha and the Hwahan and looked around.
“Karrrrr!”
“For the princess!”
“We will go to the deepest part!”
Choaaaah! Choaaaah! Choaaaah!
Fishmen warriors burst out from all directions, creating a spray of water and surfacing onto land.
“Catch the landlubbers!”
Fish-man warriors with scales thicker than a shield and a body that is at least a head taller than me.
“Whoaaahhh-!”
The 'Octopus Guardians' have muscular bodies and powerful tentacles covered in giant shell armor.

“Chwieeeek!”
'Foreign sea dragons' are giant sea snakes that are over 10 meters long and have four pairs of crab legs.
Moon, moon!
The 'Nongge Tentacle Warrior' who carries a huge horse-drawn carriage on his back, and the 'Nongge General' who has armor that shines golden.
“I'll chew it up for you.”
'Shark Warrior', a high-ranking fish-man with a shark-like head and two heads larger than the average fish-man.
Choaaaah!
The 'sea giant' is a 7m tall fish-like creature.
“To the wave I brought!”
“Sea, swallow that enemy!”
And there are even beautiful mermaids who stick their heads out of the water and recite spells.
I looked at Lord Tentia with a relaxed smile.
“Your Majesty. For the sake of the Empire and Your Majesty, please help us stop these foreign bastards.”
She lifted her visor.
“Your Majesty Valen.”
There was a desolate smile in the sad red eyes, and a triumphant smile on the proudly closed lips.
“Honestly, I was a little rebuking Your Majesty until the Little Mermaid Princess pleaded with me.”
“It seems different now.”
“Look at those guys. No matter how you look at them, don’t you think their behavior is not worthy of the knight’s mercy?”
Wedge!
A harpoon flew in and aimed for Sir Tentia.
visor!
She swung her sword, the Hwahan, and cut the harpoon in half.
Crunch.
Sir Tentia lowered his helmet visor again and turned around, his cloak billowing.
“Anything Your Majesty desires. This Tentia will bring it to you. And-.”
"also?"
“I wanted to have a proper fight with a fisherman at least once.”
＊ ＊ ＊
“Sea monsters, man-eating demons. The guardian of light and the sharpest sword of the imperial family has arrived! Do you dare to step onto land, you who breathe through gills?”
The Red Knight of the Mangnani had a bright red mana blade wrapped around his mirror-wide sword.
Tsk tsk tsk!
A mana blade, sticky as blood and blazing as fire, wrapped around the longsword and burned.
“Whoa!”
The first thing that rushed toward her was a sea giant, a monster four times the size of a fish-man warrior.
Boom! Boom!
The giant, nearly four times the size of the Red Knight, looked like it could crush her with just a light kick.
Phew!
A thick sole rose into the sky, obscuring the enemy knight's vision.
Taat!
At that moment, Tentia aimed her sword forward at shoulder height and kicked the ground.
thud!
The sea giant's kick resonated throughout the sand island, but Tentia quickly dodged and stabbed the giant with her fireball under the knee of the other leg.
Tsk tsk tsk!
The sea giant's scales were as thick as a span and as hard as steel, but the knight's mana blade and the northern sword, both highly forged, shattered the giant's scales like glass and sank into the cross guard until they were stopped.
"under!"
Choaack!
The enemy knight let out a loud roar and drew his sword.
“Ouch!”
A sea giant with half its knees cut off collapsed like a tower.
bang!
The enemy knight finished him off by stabbing him in the neck, then leapt backwards.
The fish-man warriors came running, holding harpoons in one hand and swords in the other.
“Throw it, La!”
“Armored, mindless! Shock me!”
Wedge! Wedge! Wedge!
Dozens of harpoons, their blue-tipped tips glowing, cast shadows over her head.
"after."
Tentia held the pommel with one hand at the end of the handle and the other hand close under the cross guard, and swung the sword alternately left and right.
My wrists were tingling from the aftereffects of cutting the giant's knee, but I couldn't show myself backing down now.
Sieeeeing!
Hwahan drew red circles in succession.
Wedge! Wedge! Wedge!
The harpoons of the fish-man warriors flew straight towards Tentia without colliding with each other, and hit the red circle directly.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A powerful javelin that could pierce people and the pillars behind them was hurled diagonally.
Phew, phew!
The steel boots dug into the sandy floor due to the tremendous force, but Tentia succeeded in blocking and repelling all attacks in the end.
“Garrrrr!”
Spoon, spoon!
But the battle was just beginning.
The fish-man warriors, who were over 2 meters tall, now came right up to us, and behind them, the crab warriors carrying sea cucumbers swung their huge pincers, and even the shark warriors were mixed in among the fish-man warriors.
Tentia exhaled hot breath and pulled out the Yonggol Sword Manha with her left hand.
Srrrrrr!
The black, strangely luminous blade, neither bone nor metal, was swallowed by the red mana blade before it could even begin to glow.
Chomp!
She spun around in place and unleashed a mana blast at the Nongge warriors.
Woohoo!
“……Karrrrr!”
The Mana Blade surged like a red tidal wave, splitting the void as it became a dazzling crescent moon.
bang!
The Malmijal Crab Musa, who was hit directly by Mana Blast, literally burst apart.
Pieces of shell, foul-smelling entrails, and shards of sea snail flew in all directions.
But the remaining Malmijal crab warriors extended their blue flame tentacles without fear, and the fish-man warriors did not flinch either.
"ha!"
Tentia shouted again and flew into the midst of the fish-man warriors.
＊ ＊ ＊
Valencian slowly descended from the top of the sandbar, hurling a spear of fire.
Watching his dignified gait, I felt as if this was a theater stage rather than a fierce battlefield.
pop!
As the flames spread like waves across the sandy bottom, one of the fish-man octopus guardians screamed and curled up.
“Whoa!”
pop!
Once the fire got on his body, it didn't go out, but instead dug into his eye sockets and small wounds, burning his flesh.
“Did you think you would be safe from my flames if you were in a seashell?”
With mermaid sorcerers everywhere, it was dangerous to prepare a grand technique that could burn down the entire community.
'The race itself is proficient in mental magic. If you prepare something big, you can be knocked down with just one Dispel.'
He analyzed the situation while acting as Taeyeon under tension.
Choaaaah!
A 'spear of water' soared from Lake Gori.
Wedge!
Valencian dodged, and the water spear struck the common ceiling, sending up shards of stone.
“Those mermaid bastards!”
The mermaids began to sing.
“Look. At. Me.”
“Ra, RaRaRaRaRa. Ra, RaRaRaRa.”
A bright and enchanting singing voice was heard.
Each syllable was a spell that bewitched the mind and gave power over water.
It was a magic that had captivated countless sailors throughout history, freezing and solidifying both mind and body at the same time.
“Ugh!”
"majesty!"
It was enough to make even the average Tentia and Valencian stagger for a moment.
The fishmen's cutlasses and harpoons stabbed Tentia indiscriminately.
Boom! Boom!
Tentia's platinum armor was a masterpiece, crafted by the best blacksmiths in the capital and engraved with circuitry by the best magicians of the imperial family.
However, the attack that applied the energy of water that permeates everywhere penetrated the small cracks in her armor and gave her body a deep shock.
“Ugh!”
The Shark Warrior emerged from his slaughter of the fish-man warriors, raising his huge cutlass.
A mouth full of teeth gaped open.
"kyung!"
Upon seeing this, Valencianus tried to throw a spear of fire at Shark Musa.
Normally, this would have been possible through willpower alone, but impatience and the mermaid's song scattered his concentration, and he had to light a flame within his right palm.
Charrrr!
Cheeeeek!
It was the gap the mermaids had been waiting for.
Chains made of water shot out from the mermaids' fingertips and bound Valencian's hands and legs.
The energy of the deep sea suppressed the energy of the flame, and the flames died down in the hands of the Grand Duke of Mangnani.
Chilly!
It was an attack that was even more hostile to Valencianus, who possessed the nature of a fire spirit.
He shivered from the chill that seemed to freeze him to his bones.
“They are neither human nor fish!”
He howled even more ferociously and put strength into his arms.
Wood crunch!
The body, forged with the blood of dragons and ogres and stabilized by the energy of Az, displayed strength far beyond human limitations.
Choaaaak!
“Whoa!”
Sixteen mermaids who had been holding onto his right arm were dragged out of the lake and rolled onto a sandbar.
But before the Dragon Blood Emperor's wrath could burn the mermaids' bodies, the remaining mermaids shot out spears of water.
Choaaaah! Choaaaah! Choaaaah!
As the race is what it is, the attacks were much more heavily imbued with the aura of water than those of human magicians.
“Ugh!”
The Duke of Mangnani trembled like a sinner being burned by a soldering iron.
His white hair was disheveled, his uniform was torn, and his handsome face was distorted.
Arianne, a blue-haired mermaid and the adjutant of Shuv Ardella, took advantage of the opportunity to approach her master.
“Princess! I will let you go now.”
