Arms dealer in another world

1920 Surrounded Red Crystal Tribe 3

The scouts don't come straight to the Red Crystal Tribe. Not all of them came in one direction, but they were scattered in different directions and looking for something.

“You don't seem to know the location of the Red Crystal Tribe yet. ”

“Then shall we go in quickly? Or should I wait a little longer? ”

They were both there for the first time. Fast entry saves time, but it may be the way to tell the location of the Red Crystal Tribe from this side by leaving traces of self.

But the guards chose the former. The entrance to the Red Crystal Tribe is a cave that can be seen from the hills of Yarn. It was only a matter of time before the cave itself was discovered.

“There's no need to waste time. It's not like it's going to be hidden anyway. ”

“Got it.”

Soon, the escort proceeded through the cave.

I went into the tribe.

Even the Red Crystal tribe was already aware of the strange presence outside. There was a tension among the remaining tribesmen. Each of them saw preparing for battle with a gun, or a silver axe or a knife.

The escort immediately approaches Gellod. Gelrod also had his own double barrel shotgun and two bolt action rifles strapped to his back.

“Is everything all right? ”

“Yes, I got you to the meeting place safely without any stragglers. ”

“Good for you.”

“On my way, I saw a group of Imperial scouts. ”

“I'm sure they did. There's no doubt they're after our tribe now." ”

“If that's the case, then it's best we all get out of here together. ”

“Of course......

Gellod couldn't hide his bitter expression.

Although it is a village that was built to rob others, it has come to prosper and develop its weapons business in partnership with its guards.

It is the way out of the village completely, and will not come back. Unless the Empire forces are completely incinerated in this region.

The guard said, waiting for Gellod to recover his mind.

“Are you ready to evacuate? ”

“I need a little more time. ”

“Is it hard right now? ”

“I'm taking the rest of them with me. And like you said, we need to blow up every weapons factory, every kite, etc. That's the easy part, isn't it? ”

“I understand.”

Looks like the escape will be slower than I thought. Of course, there was no way. Blow up areas that need to be blown up quickly, and discard or dispose of personnel that interfere with early evacuation.

However, Gelerod had no intention of discarding or disposing of the disturbing personnel. However, if we say that we want to kill or deal with people, such as old people who get in the way here, we will only be angry.

Instead of telling a story that won't work, the guard decided to move with the situation. We needed Gellord's full enemy cooperation to overcome the situation.

Once security is compromised,

C.

“Chieftain, perhaps you should touch the tribes. ”

“What are you talking about! Are you suggesting someone abandon them? ”

“That's not it. We should take everyone we can, but there may be tribesmen caught by the enemy. If so, it would be fortunate for us to be able to take care of them from where they're being held. ”

“That……

“The words of the people captured alive in the empire will not be good. The chief ended up in more pain and misery than he did to the Dwarves of the Grey Wind.

will eventually die. The mirror iron mask, as I know it, is crueler than any Imperial army I know. ”

“I won't ask you to abandon your people in the first place. But even those who have been handed over to the enemy can't save them. It would be better for them to get rid of it with our hands. ”

Gellod frowns as he looks at the guard.

“That's you, but the truth is different. ”

“Am I wrong? What are the captured tribes?

Because you're afraid to spit out important information? ”

The escort and the longtime Gellod have been looking directly at the nature of the security. However, it was not enough security to reveal all of my secrets.

“I will not say there is no such reason, but the comfort of the Red Crystal Tribe is also important. Depending on what the people are saying to the Empire, even if we flee, the comfort of the tribes can be compromised. So we need to keep in mind the worst case scenario. ”

“… I see. ”

Reassure yourself,

Gelrod didn't say anything more about what he thought he could do. I don't like it, but I also know that there is no other way.

It was a guard that convinced Gellod to do so, but I was not comfortable.

It's not just the fact that one Dwarf needs to be dealt with. Rather, the problem was that the work was delayed and the situation became difficult.

“Cecilia, keep an eye out. ”

“Got it.”

The guard who sent Cecilia went to see imir.

“Apparently, he's been quiet. ”

“Of course. I want to keep an eye on you in this battle. ”

“Are you not going into battle? ”

“You want my help? ”

I felt tempted at the moment I was escorting Imir's question. Obviously, it can be very helpful to have the help of Imir. But we may not be able to afford it if we owe it to him with the help of imir.

“I don't need it now. ”

“I see. The Mirror Iron Mask desperately needs my help. ”

“In contrast to the mirrors, iron masks.

Mara. ”

“Why should I do that? ”

“Word of advice. Dealing with a madman is always a problem. ”

“Hmph, I'll keep that in mind. ”

You can't be as stubborn as imir says. But I didn't think I would cause any trouble or do it right away.

Soon after, Cecilia returns.

“Not just a scout, but a large army. ”

“Have you already begun the siege? ”

“Apparently so. ”

The Empire was also moving fairly quickly. In this situation, it seemed impossible to get ready to flee before the siege was complete.

Soon, a large gathering of guards and the Red Crystal tribe dwarves took place.

Soon after Cecilia announced that the Imperial Army was under siege, the atmosphere became noisy.

“The Empire already? ”

“As soon as we're ready, we should run for the secret passageway! ”

Guardian Gel has heard of the secret passageway.

I asked Lord.

“It turns out there was a secret passageway built just in case. ”

“Yes. Just in case, I dug a few.

“Where does it lead? ”

“I dug it up in the province of Rotia. If things get bad enough to abandon the town, there won't be anywhere else to go. ”

Clearly, this was a wise choice.

The problem was the length and exit of the passageway. The non-wheat passageway was designed to be able to move quietly, but was shorter than expected.

At least a few kilometers away from the Imperium's siege lines and escape the pursuit, the passageway was only a kilometer long.

I dug several forks, but there was only one exit, so I couldn't use deceiving tactics in many directions.

In fact, it was hard to blame the secret passageway for being short. It was great that a tribe, not a kingdom, sold a secret passageway about a kilometer in length.

Anyway, I like to make the most of the secret passageway. Fortunately, the Imperial Army didn't seem to know the existence of the secret passageway.

Ka.

The escorts and the dwarves meet head to head, and opinions come together.

“It's a plot to lure them into the village, fight a few times, smash them into pieces, and then escape through the secret passageway. ”

“Yes, Chief. ”

Running off into a secret passageway without any action would undoubtedly be a waste of Imperial pursuit.

Of course, they will be chased by the Imperial Army even if they fight and flee, but they will be chased by a prize trove that has broken their strength once and for all.

Being chased by the opposition is very different. Once if possible, it was necessary to bend the force a few times if necessary.

“Then let's make a plan. ”

“The problem is that the mirrors are almost certain to have iron masks. I've faced guns and bombs several times in the mirror iron mask, so I will prepare a countermeasure in my own way. This will not be an easy battle. ”

It is impossible to unilaterally slaughter an enemy you know nothing about with guns and bombs. Ultimately, the difference between strategy, and each other's power, will determine the win or lose.

Gellod nods decisively.

“Got it. I'll make the most of it. ”

“Yes, Chief. ”

Empire scouts were able to find the entrance to the Red Crystal Tribe without much effort.

“Is this the cave? ”

“I'm sure. I thought you said it was an underground village through the caves. ”

The scouts' information was immediately sent to the commander, Natalia, of Kelbe Ross' unit.

“I found the entrance to the tribe. ”

“I think so. We also found traces of someone recently going in and out. ”

“Then let's circle around the cave we found and create a siege net. And...

Once given the order, Natalia recalls what she learned while destroying Dwarf villages.

Most Dwarf villages are located underground. Underground is definitely better for stopping enemy attacks than on the ground, but if you can't stop an enemy attack, you'll end up like a rat in poison.

For this reason, most Dwarf villages have their own preparations. The most representative was the secret passageway. Secret passageways the enemy doesn't know about.

We sneak out of the sun.

‘If they really had made weapons deals with the arms dealers, they would have been cunning. Those cunning bastards would have cared to keep themselves safe. Then...

Natalia, who concluded one thing, gave her separate orders.

“It is likely that there will be a secret passageway in the near future. Gather all the men you can. ”

“Yes.”

“Usually it will be hard to find, but if they start to use it and move around, it will be easy to find. The barrel's pretty far.

We may have to search a wide range to find it. ”

“I understand.”

Thousands of troops have been deployed in this operation. However, there were about a thousand people who participated in the battle, and the rest of the troops formed a siege net and participated in the form of waiting or searching parties.

The number of insurgents armed with guns and bombs is meaningless. Only more victims in front of overwhelming firepower.

The situation was not good enough to consume an unlimited number of troops while using the corpse as a meat shield.

The situation in the province of Lothia has not been resolved, so the Imperial Army has been suffering from a shortage of troops while deploying and replenishing troops here and there.

By the way, if you were to receive heavy reinforcements in a region outside of Governor Radin's jurisdiction, that would mean the end of Governor Radin. Eventually, I had to fight with a limited force.

At the very least, it was that the number of troops received generous supply support although limited.

In addition, a thousand troops for combat were all elite, and they were also supported by equipment and tools that were suitable for firearms and bombs. Yi

You've done enough with Ladin as well.

If you fail this time, hell awaits. Natalia holds her heart and waits for the imminent battle.
