Chapter 757: A Mysterious Power in the Far West

Itami sat in her great hall, gazing upon her advisors and the heads of various government sectors. In the months since she had developed the plans for her new naval vessels, she had been doing her best to modernize her armed forces and expand her influence across the realm.
