Snow began to gleam in the fort. It's finally starting to feel like a full-fledged winter.

A few days ago, a splendid carriage, guarded by two battalions, entered the Kingdom of Cardina across the river.

Even with the arrows of the heavily armed infantry, they continued to march as they defended themselves with shields so that nothing was going on. I guess he's pretty sharp. That minimizes the damage.

Now the forces of the enemy stationed in the Kingdom of Cardina have swelled to seven battalion sizes.

"Apparently, we've deployed two battalions to the south fort, one battalion to the king's capital and the north fort, and two battalions to the west fort."

"Thank you for your hard work. This will make it easier to work out a plan."

Mr. Lady checked the deployment of the enemy forces, but the merchants' traffic still looks like a free pass. Exactly, the Wang capital and the west fort. Besides, the north fort seems to reload, but it told me that there are few policing units in the towns and villages.

I guess this also depends on the activity of the righteous allies.

As soon as you see the wolf, you seem to rush.

They can't even complain to us because there's something wrong with them. It seems to relieve the stress of Mr. Zairas and his family well, but I feel that the stress of the princess is gradually increasing because we are going to discuss such a story after dinner.

"Something that doesn't work like this between Doddone and this?

"Sometimes, it's a hassle to make, and it's pretty hard to use."

As usual, the princess asked me about the wine after the meal.

Mr. Zaylus is interested in my story.

"You're gonna do that one more time? It doesn't mean it's going to work again."

"I admit it's powerful, but sometimes it doesn't explode, right?

Mr. Torrell is also skeptical. Even I have no idea that the second time will work.

If I were to make it, it would be gunpowder... but there must have been a fraction ratio. You don't remember Raw Hate and that.

Trying to make it with trial and error. It would be tough if this one exploded, so I've been silent.

"Sure, I think that's too much. You can be smaller than that!

"I have something that needs to be pretended before I tell you to go well, but it's a hassle until I make it."

"It doesn't even sound like a banter. In a situation where the snow can't move. Why don't you make it first?

Sure, because after breakfast you just wave a wooden knife at Marutai against him for about 30 minutes. Speaking of free, I'm free.

That's why I asked Mr. Talnes for a bag of nitrous stones and sulphur.

Ask the Dwarf craftsman for a stone mould and a fluy, and procure charcoal from the village for one basket on his back.

The production location provided me with one of the cabins I built by the gates of the fort.

"Nitrite is fertilizer in the field. If you mix it in the fallen leaves and put it to sleep, it becomes a good fertilizer, but you also make it on a tree-lined road south of the barracks?

"Sulphur can be used to improve the fire of fire arrows, so why don't you say we shoot more fire arrows into the fort?

When I look at the packages that arrive at the dawn of the year and I'm nicking, I hear stories like that coming from behind me.

After all, you don't know.

If so, it seems like it will be quite useful for the sake of being able to do so.

Finely crush the raw material with a stone mold and remove the powder with fluy. When those days lasted for ten days, three raw materials were amply stored in the turtles of baked earthenware with powder.

Next, it's a mixture of this, but the ratio is the problem, right?

Mix the sulfur, nitrite and charcoal together in 1: 1: 1 and wrap in paper.

Change the ratio slightly next...... I decided to start experimenting where I had about ten such paper wraps.

I heard that gunpowder would explode when sealed and only burn momentum if released, so I decided to build a foundation with stone in the middle of the courtyard of the fort and spread the paper wrap over it to light the fire.

Place a small mobile stove about 3 m away and wrap a thin string around the tip of a long wooden stick to create an ignition rod.

Because of the danger, when I lowered the people I had gathered behind me, I put the first paper wrap on the stone to expose the gunpowder inside. This is the same ratio guy......

Look around you making sure the string of ignition bars is on fire. They're all interested and watching, but they're not inside the line I wrote with a stick. I can protect this properly...

Bring the string burning with about 3m of stick close to the gunpowder and light the fire.

The fire just slowly spread. Sulphur burns and smoke rises. This is a failure......

With a stick, drop the paper wrap from the top of the stone and with the tip of the stick into the hole you dug beside it.

One after the other, the paper wrap is lit.

That's not very fragrant. Still, the paper wrapping that increased the nitrite ratio boosted the fire with momentum.

It is definitely a product that has only increased the ratio of nitrous stones in 1: 1: 5.

I'm getting a little bit of it. Next, let's increase the ratio of nitrous stones to see the limit points.

The next day, exams were to be held in the same place, but now the audience was less than half.

It's not very funny, I guess.

It was my first few experiments. The powder that lit the fire raised the flame more than 1 m and burned all at once.

The next gunpowder burned the same way, so the ratio looks good if you do it earlier.

On the third day, the production of the ignition line is carried out without experimentation. Sprinkle the powder with water and refine, knitting the strings again as they are refined into loose strings.

I was doing it with such clumsy hands that Radnen, a dwarf who came to see how things were going, helped me.

When I see that I have returned to the original string beautifully, I still admire that the Dwarves have clever hands.

On the fourth day, since about 3m of the ignition wire has been formed, cut three pieces to a length of about 10, 15 and 20 cm to confirm the combustion time.

If the heart beats instead of the clock and ignites the ignition line, the result was six, eight, and thirteen seconds. I guess fifteen cm would be half D in this unit. Seems like you should think of it as ten heartbeats at this length.

The next thing I know, I put gunpowder in it, but I had the woodworker rip out a wooden stick that was 5 cm long and 20 cm long, and I stuffed the gunpowder in it and plugged the fuse wire into it and pushed it in with paper.

I just made ten, and I can finally do a big experiment.

When we're all drinking wine after dinner, we'll tell everyone that it's apparently finished.

"You're going to use that bowery fire? I don't think it's going to do much good..."

The Princess is suspicious. The people who snort at the words are also a problem.

"We've made some improvements, so get together west of the fort tomorrow. I thought you said you'd try everything."

"Right. We're free during the day, too. You'll still need to see Lord Banter more than just say he's finished."

Mr. Torrell seems suspicious, too.

I really need you to change your mind about this. Quit your seat early and return to your room for the final finish.

Wrap a barrel of gunpowder in the arrow of my long bow tightly in thread.

I can shoot quite a bit because I'm mixed up with everyone and practicing bows, but the distance is somewhat like Mr. O'Brie's and the aim is more off than the princess's. But this should be enough for me to fly far away.

Wait, there was something like a rocket with a similar weapon. You can fly with the explosive power of gunpowder, too, so you might be able to.

I lay down early thinking about that.

The next day, after breakfast, a lot of people gathered on a gentle slope west of the fort. Looks like the guards are gathering on the western watchtower of the fort as well.

Mu has a small stove with charcoal, and I wrap my long bow and five arrows in a cloth and carry them on my back.

Knowing our arrival, everyone surrounded me in a semi-circular fashion.

"You use a bow? It still doesn't look like that Bower."

"Well, watch. It's a hassle to use, but please take a good look at Zairas."

Spread the cloth wrap around your back and take out the first arrow.

A slight bending of the conductive wire extending from the tip attached near the yaziri slowly squeezed.

"Mu. Light the ignition line!

With a stick stuck in his cell phone stove, Mu set off an arrow at the same time as he lit the ignition line.

Hulu Hulu...... and the moment the arrow made a noise and flew away and fell to the ground. Doddorn! and burst and the snow-covered ground raises the earthen smoke.

"" "What!

"That's not what Banter calls it. [Mel] It seems more powerful. And you won't get [Mel] 's flamethrower until that distance."

"Can you use it on us, too?

"After that, there are four bottles, so try them. I have a trick on this cylinder mounted on this arrow. Light this string. There will be that explosion in about ten heartbeats. Release the arrow as soon as you light the fire. That explosion will happen on the spot, even if we're trying to target it."

"Okay. The point is, you just have to be in that direction beforehand. I'll be the first one."

Mr. Zairas is checking with Mr. Torrell.

Where Mr. Torrell nodded, Mr. Zairas leads the arrow to the bow and squeezes it.

"Ignite!"

In a hurry, Mu lit the ignition line.

Immediately an arrow is released and an explosion occurs much further away than mine.

The five arrows I prepared were immediately gone, but they seemed to understand the power and how to use them.

He looks excited and discusses how to use it for future battles.

Faster than that, I need to get back to the fort. It's going to freeze. Mu and Mailey are about to warm up by holding a small stove.

We're back in the fort hall, but everyone still seems excited about the power of the weapons earlier.

Marianne and the others made us some tea, so I hope you chill your head a little.

"Common sense of war is gonna change!

"If we let that go at once, there's no problem with how the opponent is a big army."

"So, where do you use it!

Everyone looked at me at the princess's words.

"After that, I have five left. I'm going to teach someone how to make it, but I'd say dozens of them can be made from raw materials I've got. I'm going to shoot that into the fort..."

"Tell Radnen. Seems pretty interested."

"Thank you for taking care of me by making a spark wire. Copy that."

It's not that hard if you know the ratio. Although it is troublesome.

"If you have five left, it was my turn tonight. At the fort at the foot."

Mr. Torrell looks happy. The neighbor Zairus has a regrettable look.

"Well, let's take an alternating shot with Torrell. So, where does the banter want to use it the most?

"It's a southern fort that requires two battalions at the border of the Kingdom of Crabble!

Everyone's face is delighted.

The absolute place to protect it is the stone bridge that was built with Crabble. We must make sure that the stone bridge is never tried to cross counts.

In preventing it from happening, this weapon would be extremely powerful.
