Chapter 54: Mobilization
The entry of the rest of the guests marked the start of the dinner party, a small affair that turned out to be just the smiths, the guard officers, and Princess Alexis along with Royal Advisor Morgana, a Techno Witch.
The Techno Witches were an odd bunch, they were somewhat like artificers, but their devices didn’t actually work without magic. Instead, they added magic to broken and nonfunctional items and made them work as intended.
Something about that just felt off to Dominic, like they should pick one or the other, either technology or magic. But that was not their way, and the items that they made were powerful.
The Inventory Cubes and other storage items were mostly made by Techno Witches, since the Wizards who could use space magic were much less common. But the ones that the Witches made just felt creepy to Dominic for no apparent reason. It wasn’t like they did anything unusual to make them, not like the alchemists and their potions.
The magic just felt odd to Dominic.
The Princess cleared her throat and greeted the room. "Welcome everyone. I am glad that you could all come on such short notice, but we have an urgent matter that we need to have dealt with before the morning comes.
There have been signs that there is a hidden force behind the attacks on Cygnia City and the surrounding villages. So, we are organizing missions to send out the reserve regiments to hunt for the suspected leader of the attacks.
For those of you who haven’t seen it before, this means a full mobilization of the army, including sending out support staff with the Regiments to keep them operating. The army has most of the logistics staff, the cooks, the tailors, and such. But the Smiths, the Tailors and the Artificers in the employ of the Palace will all be called upon to send members with the regiments.
You are the senior staff in the forge, along with your apprentices, who are the most likely to be called upon, so we have brought you here today to discuss any concerns you might have. If I can’t answer your queries, then the officers here will be able to."
