Arms dealer in another world

133 coins. First battle of the unknown mountain.

2.

The Imperial Army moved relentlessly.

Finally, a siege around the headquarters of the United Nations was completed, and 5,000 troops were assembled to fight them.

The headquarters of the United Nations was in the barren mountains.

No more humans, no more monsters, no more animals.

It was hardly as desolate as the water, so the control of the empire was little.

I couldn't even name the mountain because it was a place that didn't care about humans or other races. That is, it was a very good place for traitors to hide.

Even though it was a strange place for the Empire, fortunately, there was some data left after previous adventurers explored the region. Based on the data and new information, we were able to locate the Anti-Imperial Union stronghold.

It was a cliff cave at the foot of a mountain.

Adventurers who explored it decades ago

According to reports, the cliff cave is difficult to access, but large enough for hundreds of people to stay in. It was a good place for traitors to hide and plot.

Before the siege was complete, Natalia sent elite troops to scout the area. Some of them made it to the cave entrance and made it back safely.

Once there, there is no doubt that the cave is the home of the traitors. There's a certain amount of traitors in all of them.

“The number of traitors seems to be hundreds, no matter how many. ”

“I see. Don't you know how many of them are armed with weapons called guns and bombs? ”

“I couldn't investigate that far. ”

Reportedly, Natalia sighs a little.

Even though I had won once, I also could not see the new weapons of the traitors.

Moreover, not only guns and bombs, but also a new weapon called poison gas, and there was no clear solution to the poison gas.

Surely the traitors will use such new weapons in this battle. Even this

Given the fact that the battle was an attack on an enemy stronghold, there was also the possibility that another new weapon would appear that had never been seen before.

That's why Natalia brought an army of 5,000 with her. No matter how great the new weapon, it can be overwhelmed by numbers.

“How many wizards are on our side? ”

“About 200 people. ”

“I see. Protecting the wizards comes first. ”

The best way to deal with new weapons is through magic. You're a warrior, not a wizard.

It was only possible for someone like Natalia to reach the level of superhuman.

Milan also participated in the operation. Natalia inspected the operation once again with Milan and his deputy Sean, etc.

“This is their stronghold. There is only one way to get to the cave, this narrow mountain pass. With the support of the flight troops, it will eventually go up the mountain passage and secure the entrance to the cave, and then the troops will enter the cave and wipe out the enemies. You don't have to tell me that the enemy will interfere in this process. ”

Milan heard Natalia's explanation.

Commented.

“Caves are caves, but aren't there other places where they might be able to move? ”

“Yes. I doubt the rebels would have thrown an entire army into the cave." A handful of them are outside the cave trying to interfere with our operation. Total, Bombs, Poison Gas. With their new weapons, even a small number of troops can force immense damage to their allies. ”

“I know you've strengthened your guard to stop it.... Split full with it? ”

“Hopefully enough. ”

Milan couldn't help but think of a better alternative than Natalia.

It was impossible for an empire to completely block guerrilla warfare or attempted terrorist attacks with a handful of people. other than to make them give up such things on the fence, or to minimize damage even when attacked.

Shawn makes his point.

“If possible, it would be ideal to stop the enemies from using their new weapons. ”

“How?”

“Wouldn't it be better to be magically proactive from the start? ”

“Are you suggesting we bring the Wizards to the front? ”

“That's right.”

Ordinary soldiers armed with spears are hard to wield in front of guns and bombs.

Even an armed soldier with a spear sword would be useful if the enemy's line collapsed, but it was hard to think that an armed enemy line such as a gun and a bomb would exert great power in a healthy situation.

So was the bow, the gun, the bow.

The same long-range weapon, but under normal circumstances, there was no doubt that the gun was much more powerful than the bow.

Obviously, Shawn's opinions were close. Magically intercept or suppress enemy new weapons, and use overwhelming numbers to wipe out enemies.

Even the Imperial Guards received a handful of fighters, so this operation was advantageous.

The problem was that if it failed, the damage would be that big. Regular troops can be replenished, but wizards are not easily replenished.

I put a wizard in charge early, annihilated.

What if I get beat up? I could make things worse from the start.

Shawn didn't know that, either. He took that risk and thought it was best.

Ultimately, Natalia has the right to decide. Now Milan was only number two.

Accepting Sean's opinion as a factor one, Natalia's responsibility will also be the greatest. Failure will be Natalia's fault.

After much thought, Natalia makes her decision.

“Sean, you have a reasonable opinion. ”

“I understand.”

“But sending so many wizards to the vanguard is too dangerous. Send a small number of wizards to the front line to assist and, if safety is confirmed, send the Magister in person from then on. ”

Shawn, of course, did not disagree with Milan or the others. We didn't have a better option in this situation.

Thus, 5,000 troops centered on Natalia marched to the mountain where the Union of the Anti-Imperials resides.

“Spectacular.”

A guard watches the camp from the mountaintops mutters.

I can see 5,000 troops gathered together and moving in one piece beneath the mountain. It's hard to deal with, given that the number is 10 times this way, and external support can also be expected.

On the other hand, this is only one-tenth of the number right now, and we can't expect outside support until we take down the enemy. It was a situation that was hard to see even when trying to look at the situation optimistically.

I did almost everything I could over here. Just one last key to the mission.

There's only one left.

The guard looked after Cecilia, who was following him.

“I want to play the most important role in this battle. ”

“What is it?”

“You lead the snipers. ”

Some of the snipers remained in the stronghold just in case, and the rest were ready to go out and take down the enemy force.

Cecilia is fully equipped to lead them. The tribe was once the best warrior.

He has experience leading a small number of troops, and is a marksman that no one can argue with.

The problem was that no matter how powerful Cecilia was, it would be a really dangerous mission.

The escort hesitated to give Cecilia command of the operation. Since it was good enough for Cecilia, it was not easy to take the risk of losing precious human ashes.

But if you lose this war, you will lose everything. The escort came here to increase the chances of winning the war.

After considering the possibilities, it seemed that Cecilia would have the best chance of sexual intercourse.

I didn't know Cecilia was like that. Even the fact that he will become more dangerous.

“Got it.”

Cecilia's answer was surprisingly refreshing. The guard smiles bitterly.

“Thank you.”

“If it wasn't for me, there wouldn't be anyone else to do it.

“True. Your abilities are unique, and

I'm the only one I can trust right now. ”

“Do you really believe me? ”

“Of course. I may look like a self-righteous son of a bitch, but I'm a person. You can't live with 100% suspicion and 0% trust. Because then I would have gone to a mental hospital, not a business. ”

“That's touching.”

“Thank you. You can be more impressed. It's not easy to live my faith even though, you and Lucas did it. ”

“… I didn't expect to come this far with you.

C. ”

“I agree.”

“I'll be back, then. ”

First, the guard called Cecilia, who was about to go down the mountain.

“Cecilia.”

Crab ’’

“Take care of yourself. Be successful, come back safe. ”

You can't expect a more dedicated escort from the guard. Cecilia smiles small and goes down the mountain first.

“Then I'll do everything I can

I have to.

5,000 troops have encamped just below the mountain where the anti-empire alliance resides. Some surrounded the entire mountain and built a siege net, while others were ready to go whenever orders were issued.

Fortunately, for the Imperial Army, the troops were not attacked until they camped beneath the mountain. There have been no reports of troop movements or attacks in other areas.

“Maybe now they're scared and they're out of control? ”

Those who view the situation as optimistic

Yes, but Natalia was not so optimistic about the situation.

“Given the traitors' abilities, they could have done something to attack us if they wanted to. But more than that, he's trying to get us into this mountain and bring us to justice. ”

Attacking the Imperial Army first means getting the car out of there early. When a card is revealed early, it is that easy to deal with. I took out the cards as late as possible and it seemed to be my mood.

On the other hand, it was strange. Because of the arms dealers, insurgents have a lot of new weapons up to guns, bombs, poison gas.

It's already widely known.

That's why we need to hide it from the Empire army as far as the stronghold is concerned. It would be better to use your weapons as quickly as possible and slow down the progress of the Imperium troops a bit.

“The traitors are up to something. ”

Milan thought the same.

“Whatever the traitors are up to, it is most important that they do not spread it properly. ”

“I know. Let's surround the mountain completely and search and advance thoroughly. ”

If it were a dense mountain, the search would be much more difficult. Fortunately, the climate was barren, so the trees and grass were not dense.

According to a pre-scouting report, the mountain had only half a stone field that did not give up grass, and the rest of the area grew as small as a grass or tall tree. It was an impossible environment for a few to hide, but ambushed by troops.

But the mountain itself was pretty rough. At some point, the path was a narrow trail leading up to the cliff cave where the rebels live.

However, up to a certain height, troops were able to move and make camp. The soldiers will suffer a lot.

But...

Soon after Natalia's command, the troops began to search thoroughly for the limits to which they could move. I didn't know when guns, bombs, poison gas were going to fly, so the whole army had to move under tension.
