Arms dealer in another world
Arms dealer in another world
Blood clot under the ground, 1949
Chase of the Earth 1
I saw both the explosion and collapse at the entrance of the cave, and several other explosions from afar.
Reports have not come yet, but I can only guess what happened. Reports of couriers soon came in not far from Natalia's expectations.
“They blew up the cave entrance! ”
“I see.”
Not long after, another messenger came running and said,
“I've found what's thought to be their secret passageway! And... I think they blew it up there, too. ”
“Got it.”
There were some sacrifices, but Natalia did not feel any regrets. In war, casualties are obedient, and when it comes to violence, many casualties are obeyed.
Rather, the situation in front of me was more important. As information continued to come in, there was something of interest to me or to Italy.
“Not only was the will of the lion ignored, but the rebels killed him. ”
“Yes. The first shot was apparently blocked by the shield, but it was still killed in the second shot. ”
Natalia's head quickly turns to the testimony of the soldier who witnessed the lion's death.
You walk to the magical shield, especially worried about the lion getting shot. But I ended up getting shot and killed.
I couldn't do it.
A normal gun would have held a few rounds of armor. However, shooting a lion with just two shots is more likely than a normal gun.
Unlike normal shooting, stronger sniper. Natalia knew a good shot at this.
‘There was information that an Elven family traveling with an arms dealer had a special gun. It seemed like a gun that was stronger and could shoot farther than a normal gun. Don't...
It was not enough to be sure with just the story I had just heard. But I'm sure
It was enough to have a hunch.
If the elven woman who is always with the arms dealer is in the Red Crystal tribe, then the weapons dealer named Sir is also in the Red Crystal tribe.
Although not 100%, it seemed quite likely. Just that, Natalia felt her heart beating.
If the weapon dealer is really in the Red Crystal tribe, we have a chance to face him again.
This encounter was definitely different until now. Natalia is in an unexpected place, in an unexpected form.
However, the appearance of security did not mean that Natalia's plan was compromised.
From the beginning, we were able to see that it was rather good. I made a plate for the long run, and there were some sacrifices, but the start was successful.
The Red Crystal Tribe was closed by bombing the cave, the largest entrance to the tribe, and by blowing up the passageway that made it an emergency escape route.
That is, the tribe of red crystals is truly like a rat in a poison.
There is no need to show that the Imperial Army is too conspicuous in this situation. Rather, the enemy
It is wise to make them show excessive movement.
If there really is an arms dealer in that cave, you can catch the enemies in there by making a mess. Then the disagreement with the arms dealer is over.
Natalia received a new report just in time.
“The invited wizards have arrived. ”
“Bring him here. ”
Natalia has invited a number of special wizards for this battle. They were experts in cursing magic, and animists.
A few wizards will appear soon. These were the experts in cursing magic.
Curse magic generally tends to be treated as horse proprietary water. However, there was also curse magic from the magical discipline of the earthly world, not the dark power used by the Mages.
It's not the power of the Horses, it's magic from the power and knowledge of the earth, so there's no reason to go up to the pyre to study such curse magic.
However, due to the assessment that the curse magic itself was disgusting, there were very few people who learned related magic, and there were very few experts.
In the Empire, I managed to separate wizards skilled in this kind of curse magic. All Situations
It was not a useful existence, but there was definitely a useful situation.
Like right now.
“There's a group of traitors beneath the collapsed cave. ”
“If it's underground, are they dwarves? ”
“Yes. The dwarf tribe underground. Now that all the entrances are down, their babies will be on board. But if their town is stockpiled with food, it's a different story. Can you handle that food with your curses? ”
“Of course you can. If you want, you can also try spreading the plague. ”
“That won't do. ”
The effects of the curse magic were more varied than I expected. It was possible to spoil food, ruin farming, and make livestock or humans sick with infectious diseases.
The only thing that's contagious is that it doesn't stop with humans. If an epidemic spread to all your factions to spread the plague to your enemies, you could sit back and lose your troops.
It was enough to get rid of food for now. The wizards who understood Natalia's intentions accepted it.
“I understand.”
“How long will it take? ”
“About two days. ”
“I'll wait.”
Considering the situation, I don't think I'll be making much of a move in the Red Crystal Tribe right now. We'll keep an eye on things, too. After realizing it was a mistake, it will be too late.
Natalia has decided to be patient. I desperately wanted to run and find the arms dealer, but I endured it.
Natalia still has that kind of reason.
The Red Crystal Tribe has entered an emergency.
The situation might have been better if the Empire Army had invaded with hostility. It was painful for the Empire Army to figure out the secret passageway before they could use it.
“How the hell did they find out? ”
“I don't know. I've seen you poking around like there's a secret passageway. ”
“Could it have been leaked? ”
You escort the dwarves into chaos and ask Gellord.
“Is the secret passageway completely blocked? ”
“I'm glad it's not that bad. I dug a lot of holes. But the problem was that we found the most important passageway, the one we dug out the farthest. ”
It was definitely a troublesome situation. As Gelodh had said, he dug several secret passageways, and the exits were also above each other.
However, if the exit is within the Imperial Army's perimeter, then the secret passageway is meaningless. Escaping through the exit farthest from the Red Crystal Tribe.
It would be safest, but the passageway itself was destroyed.
“Is there no other path but the secret passageway made by the tribe? ”
“There's an underground cave that we can't reach.... They don't even know where they're going, and you know, they're like a nest of salamanders and other monsters. ”
I can't be sure the security guard didn't notice. When I first came to the Red Crystal Tribe, my bodyguard and Cecilia went on a salamander hunt to earn their trust.
I don't know where it goes, and monsters
It was more likely to be a fight with the Li Empire than a crowded place.
“Then we'd better keep an eye on the other side of the secret passageway while watching the Empire Army's movements." We have time. ”
“That would be nice. Let's do it.”
So the day went on without a hitch. There was no movement on the other side of the secret passageway, and on the tribal entrance.
Except for the detonated passageway, all other passageways were located within the siege network built by the Imperial Army and would not be available except in the worst case.
One more day passed while watching like that. Imperial troops still did not appear to be anything else, but other defects were detected.
“Security, something is wrong. ”
“What?”
“I don't know the details, but something magical is flowing in. ”
Lucas' words remain unguarded. Perhaps in his area of expertise, magic is Lucas' area of expertise, so I had to listen to him more and more carefully.
“Don't you know what it is? ”
“We should investigate. ”
“Then do it. ”
It was Lucas who immediately went into the investigation, but there were limits to conducting the investigation alone.
There were only two enchanted men in this Red Crystal tribe. One was Lucas, and the other was imir.
After Lucas's investigation turned out to be unsuccessful, the escort went to see imir.
“Imir, there is a magical energy circulating here. ”
“Yes. I felt it, too. ”
“Since we didn't use magic,
An empire. They won't use magic to help us. Do you understand what this is? ”
“Of course. I felt it before you asked. ”
If you felt it, you could have told me before you asked. However, the security guard pressed fury that this‘ common sense question ’did not work for imir.
“I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. ”
“What's in it for me to tell you? ”
I honestly expected this kind of reaction, so my anger did not add up.
The guard said, keeping his cool.
“We are at a disadvantage now, compared to the Empire. In a situation like this, even for a fairer game, you have to know what magic is used in the Empire. ”
“Phew, I don't have much convincing words... Let me tell you something special for a more interesting viewing experience. It's curse magic.”
“Curse magic? ”
“Yes.”
The knowledge of the guardian's curse magic was only to the extent that it existed. There was Lucas, who was more knowledgeable by the guards.
“What curse is this? ”
“I don't know about that. If it is magic of the horse system, you would know the details, but it is not magic of the horse system, but human magic. I don't know everything. ”
“… Lucas. What can you do with cursed magic? ”
“I'm not your specialty, either. The basic thing is to bring misfortune to the opponent, spread an epidemic, ruin farming...
“Does that mean you can actually do it? ”
“If that's the right spell. ”
Security remained confused for a moment that this world is a real world of magic.
If you say that the curse on earth destroys infectious diseases or farming, you are a strange person with medieval lifestyle. However, in this world, it is a proven way of thinking of modern people.
“Then, if you are an Imperial Army, what curse do you think you would be under right now? ”
“Well……. Maybe it's the epidemic? Because if you're trapped in a cave, you could wipe out all of us. ”
“I've never heard of an infectious disease within the tribe. ”
“Then maybe not. If it was an epidemic, we'd already have patients. Well, there's a lot of other curses, but if you spread something like an epidemic and then another town, something terrible is going to happen. If it's not an epidemic...
