Arms dealer in another world

172 A.D. Before the Great Storm 3

After the conversation, the escort heads with the group to the Castle Tower. Between the fortress's resistance and the outer castles, there were several towers that served as lookouts, all clearly visible to the outside of the fortress, making it a good place to install neutralizers such as Gatling.

When I climbed the tower, the scenery around the fortress was more visible than ever.

Fortress on the plateau, the Empire army in the east and west.

It is estimated that an attack will be launched on the four sides, completely surrounding all of South and North Korea. This side will also deploy troops across the four sides to face him.

Among them, the stronghold's weakest defense was the southern castle.

Above all, there were minor problems with the terrain because of the large force coming in at once, but in the south there was an open field with no obstacles, so it was best for the large force to come in without any door.

Lewis and his allies expected the Empire to focus its efforts to the south. That's why the escorts

It was also a tower just south of the fortress.

“These towers have four guns in them.

“Yes. One in each direction, northeast, southwest, east, west. ”

“With a tower this strong, you won't have to put up much of a fight, right? ”

“There will be a defensive force, and magic will be able to strengthen the room rain more, so if you go crazy, the tower itself will not collapse or do anything. ”

The guard who heard Cecilia's answer nods.

“I see. Then Gatling will have access to the tower.

You'd better deploy. ”

“How will you deploy? Two towers, one at a time? Or two in one tower? ”

“No matter how powerful Gatling is, there is no guarantee that he will be able to fully control the enemy outbreak like a pack of dogs. It's not like installing it once won't move it, so it's better to run both units at once. ”

“Definitely, there is a reasonable word. It is predicted that the enemy's attack will be concentrated from this direction to the south. ”

After a long look at the fortress, the security concluded.

“Okay, then let's install two Gatlings in one tower. If anything changes, we can put it in a magical backpack. You know that, move according to it. ”

“How specifically? ”

“Basically, you'd better stay out of the tower. However, depending on the circumstances of the battle, the sniper, and the In Champ with him, will sometimes be busy moving. Enemy attacks will continue on the south side as well as on the other side. Maybe it's time for me and Gatling to make a move. Be prepared for that. ”

“Okay."

A few days later, reports came in that the Imperial Army had set off for Yosai. It was an example that we would arrive in two days because the troops were gathered not far away.

The escort who heard the report set up Gatling as an experiment on the southern tower. Guards and soldiers trained by Cecilia and Lucas as as well as Gatling.

“Okay, then. ”

A guard pulled two Gatlings out of a magical backpack on the wagon above the watchtower.

You secured the Gatling. It wasn't that hard to build a good cradle to hold Gatling as long as the cart or floor is flat.

The guard who placed the Gatling machine gun on the watchtower fired a few rounds as a test. Suddenly, the distance from the outer wall of the watchtower was well over 100 meters, but the bullet was placed where the target was aimed.

“Okay, that's it. ”

The escort tests the trained soldiers. I've been trained to use all Gatling, reload, etc., so I have a role to play in handling Gatling myself or assisting marksmen.

I could.

Once the escort reaches that point, Gatling puts the machine gun back in the magic backpack and inspects all four lookouts.

I don't know what the situation is, so I asked you to make room for a wagon or stand so I can set up Gatling on any watchtower. The inspection showed that everything was perfect.

“You've done enough. ”

That night, I could see a flame burning from afar. There was no fire anywhere. A crowd with fire came this way.

It's an imperial army marching at night.

The guard who watches it from afar mutters.

“It's quite extraordinary. ”

Even though I could not see the details because of the night, I could only recognize what was clearly a large army. On top of that, not only on earth, but also in the sky, the Imperial Aviator appeared to be coming with him.

Weapon level is definitely much higher this way. However, the enemy is more numerous, elite, and will also master magic more skillfully.

Like always, it didn't seem like another battle. Weapon Excellence

Faith and carelessness can only lead to defeat.

The guard, who knew the facts better than anyone, held his heart, but on the one hand thought of someone else.

‘If you iron the mirror......

He said he was definitely alive. He also said he wasn't chasing him, he was chasing the Red Crystal tribe that was the foundation of the security business.

If imir hadn't lied, there wouldn't be a mirror iron mask in that army. But the security guard still bothered her.

As long as he's alive, he'll be in the escort room again.

It will hurt. No, even at this moment, it may be planning something that will interfere with the escort or move into practice.

‘I hope the Red Crystal Tribe is safe. ’

If the Red Crystal Tribe is found or collapsed by the Empire even if they win this war, they will not win even if they win as a bodyguard.

I still needed more time. In order to build a foundation to sustain the business, even if the Red Crystal Tribe collapses.

Mirror iron mask, led by Natalia

The main task of Beros' forces these days was to investigate Dwarves, deal with them, and eliminate them if necessary.

Of course, not all Dwarves are to be treated harshly. The Dwarves who cooperated with the Empire treated them as kindly as possible. Of course, it meant that it was mild by the standards of the mirror iron mask.

“Is that all? ”

“Yes, yes. ”

The dwarf chieftain winked at Natalia and gave her all the letters of the door. In terms of loyalty to the Empire, the annual tax returns, and the surrounding tribes.

It was a neat document.

In fact, Natalia was not as sweet as a common dwarf. Dwarves are exclusive to other races, and elves are often very exclusive.

Natalia was a hybrid of Elves and Humans, and was often excluded by almost all races.

Half-Elf Woman. It was natural for a dwarf to be excluded from his personality or abilities.

But that's always the case if the opponent pretends or ignores you.

It was because the opponent in front of him, the infamous mirror iron mask, had rejected him as a Half Elf and it was obvious what would happen to him.

The forces of Natalia and Kelberus have already come here after destroying a few of the non-cooperative Dwarf tribes. Natalia still had blood stains on her boots and waist.

Natalia studies the documents with sharp eyes, still wearing a mirror-like iron mask. While she was shredding the documents, Kelberus' men scoured the tribe in a humble manner.

As a result, fortunately, this tribe

A loyal tribe of good Dwarves concludes. Natalia also did not remove the dagger.

“Keep your allegiance to the Empire. The Empire will repay him. ”

“I will keep in mind. ”

“And this document. ”

Natalia's documents were written by the tribe about the nearby tribes. More than ten tribes were known to have not proven their loyalty to the Empire or even revolt.

Some of them have already been smashed into the hands of Kelberus, but some of them are still intact.

There were many.

“Is it reliable? ”

“That's what we see. You don't need to be friends with those who haven't proven their loyalty to the Empire. That's why I did a separate investigation and documented it. ”

“I see. That's wise. ”

Natalia looks back at the document.

Not enough oak. Not enough gray wind. Not enough Red Crystals. You see this name, such as the lack of clear pumpkins. Most of the names Natalia saw more than once. To the Empire

A tribal lease trojan whose allegiance has not been proven.

“I'll have to find one of these next time. ”

As Natalia mutters, she leaves the tribe with a document.

Milan came to Natalia and said,

“I've just received some new information. ”

“What information? ”

“You said you went to Lothia. ”

“I see. As expected, the main force is Navallon.

Are you aiming for a bird? ”

“Yes, and...

Milan hesitated for a moment.

“It is said that the arms dealer is in Fort Navallon. ”

“I see.”

Surprisingly, Natalia doesn't shake much. The eyes in the mask just flashed for a moment.

Instead of shaking, Natalia asks again.

“Were there any orders to join, or to cooperate in, that battle? ”

“No, there was no such thing. ”

“Then we can continue our work. ”

“Of course.”

Clearly, the Kelberus forces were unable to accompany them on their way.

Radin and Lucia were created by the grace of two powerful men to survive. It was the day they disobeyed either of them who acted independently without their order.

Natalia knew that better than anyone. I also didn't feel the need to overdo it now.

“Nothing to worry about. The arms dealer won't die anyway. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“It means he's not the only one who can catch an army. ”

“Does that mean our allies will be defeated? ”

“That's not it. But even if there really is an arms dealer in the fortress, even if an ally wins, they won't be able to catch him. He's so cunning, he'll find a way to live. ”

“Then...

“So let's do our job. In order to catch him, we must first destroy his nest. If this is really one of the Dwarves' nests,

You have to destroy to get to him. ”

Natalia's eyes were as frowning as the moment she faced the arms dealer.

Milan looked at Natalia like that for some reason.

The arms dealer they are chasing, he is not really just a person who can be pushed by force to catch.

If you push with your strength, you will always miss like you did. You can break the nest first, break the wings before you can catch it without missing it. Obviously Natalia wasn't thinking wrong.

The problem was Natalia's mental state.

Maybe, more than the loyalty to the Empire, the comfort of the Empire, think of him as an arms dealer.

Of course, that does not necessarily mean a rebellion against the Empire or a rebellion against the Empire. However, when I looked at Natalia these days, I felt something increasingly dangerous.

At one time, I thought I had abandoned my obsession with the arms dealer to some extent and was faithful to my own mission, but now I see that's not it. Regardless of the Empire's defeat, I felt the determination to catch the arms dealer himself.

‘It's dangerous......

But Milan had no choice but to speak his mind. Without any evidence, it was not just a thought of its own, nor was it foolish enough to ridicule its superior.

Whether he knew Milan's insides or not, Natalia didn't even look him in the eye. You look at the list of dwarf tribes with an icy eye and find a new target.
