September 19, 7451

In the evening.

Khaled's suburbs are at the forefront of the Daybus and Cambridge kingdoms.

With the power of the cannon at its core, Alec's Blue Tiger Knights were able to capture the flats that were so good for attacking the city of Khaled.

Whether or not there are three streets from this flat to the city of Khaled, the only place that can be opened to stretch the formation closer than here is the 200m square in front of the barrier that protects the east and west of the city of Khaled.

So close to the city - I didn't have the courage to stay within the range of curving arrows and magic attacks.

This place was attacked only a week ago, and a fort with earth walls has already been built in the formation.

Of course, it goes without saying that the fortress was owned by Lane.

It is now used to heal wounded soldiers who occupy this place, to evacuate prisoners, and to rest the soldiers.

But it will also be over in about a week.

Earlier this month, early horses from Land Greens arrived with good news while Daybus forces were still stationed in Mokuluis.

They say, "We have finished all tests in artillery operations. Send the two cannons to the front line quickly. Arrival in Mokuluis is scheduled from the 22nd to the 25th of this month."

In response, Alec adjusted his schedule and spawned.

"As long as the cannons are delivered..."

Khaled's city sits behind a bay that opens to the south, with cliffs cut off to the north and solid stone walls to the east and west.

"Ah, with a cannon like that..."

Alec and Mule stand on the fort's walls, looking out at the giant walls that protect the distant city of Khaled.

As they imagined, if the cannon could perform as expected at the time of design, the gate on that wall could be easily destroyed.

However, in order to do so, we must place the cannon within 100 meters of the gate.

In front of the wall, a heavy cannon shall be carried in a place open at 200 m, and then assembled and loaded with projectiles and artillery shells.

For the next shot and subsequent shots, the cannon is completely covered to cool the cannon barrel, and forced cooling is performed with water.

The Royal Capital cell reported that, as expected, the assembly time is around 30 minutes, the maximum time for aiming adjustment after installation is 5 minutes, and the interval between the next firing and the fine aiming adjustment is at least 15 minutes (however, if the lane emits water, it can be greatly shortened).

Regardless of the time until the first shot, the interval between shots seems to be 15 minutes, but it is very short considering that it has the power to destroy the walls and gates that protect the city of Khaled.

It was about a fraction shorter than the front-loaded cannon used on Earth.

If you hit the gate, you can punch a hole in it.

Even if it is not, it is surely distorted.

Repairs in the short amount of time before the next projectile is fired are literally impossible unless you use magic.

With just a few shots, the gate will be useless, and nothing will stop our cavalry and infantry from getting in.

Thinking about it, I can't use a conventional tactic that repeats dozens or even hundreds of mobile castle hammers (cats).

Instead of destroying the gate, it's normal to send soldiers through the wall to secure the gate and open it from the inside.

As for Alec, he also had a plan to conquer in a way that could be described as traditional in a sense.

However, given the defensive nature of the reconnaissance wall, it may take several hours, however short, unless Khaled has an informant on his side.

Depending on the situation, it may take days, and even if the operation makes ideal progress, the number of soldiers that will be lost when climbing the wall will increase in proportion to time.

Considering that, it takes fifteen minutes to fire the next projectile, but the presence of the cannon is huge.

No matter how powerful the cannon was, the location itself was within range of attack magic and bows and arrows from the wall, and would take some damage.

However, if you use fake tactics such as deploying troops and attaching them to walls, it is unlikely that you will be able to launch a large number of arrows or valuable attack magic to target strange things that you may not be familiar with at first glance.

If that were to happen from the outset, it is unlikely that a senior Kambit officer defending Khaled would have to suspect the reincarnation of any of his people.

"It seems that the arrival at Mokuluis will be at a later date, so it will be two days after that. What do we do? As soon as we arrive?

I want to see the actual assembly, and I won't do it as soon as I arrive. It will be the next day. "

Hmm. That's true, too.

"Well, I still have some time to spare, and I'd like to consult with Lane." Give the soldiers plenty of rest. "

Okay... hm?

It looks like someone sent a message from someone who was keeping an eye on the surrounding area.

Two slaves from the Baron Gegran family belonging to the Hakuho Knights arrived in the ranks, but I was wondering if I could pass through.

"Are you a slave at Lane's?" Let him go through to the court wizard. "



"Hexer, Jack, can I have a minute?"

Lane was in the small room assigned to the Hexers in the fort.

About an hour ago, two slaves came to visit her from her parents' house.

Is that involved?

Did something big happen in King's Landing?

Here you go.

A lane enters Hexer's words.

Of course, this fortress was made by magic, and there was no door in the room because it hadn't been many days since its creation.

"Can you block the entrance with a blanket or something?"

When I entered the room, Lane said something a little noisy.

Hexer frowned and shook his head at the words.

Of course there's a blanket, but there's no way to secure it by hanging it at the entrance.

"Okay. I'm sorry, but can you come to my room?"

When they say that, the two of them have to turn around and follow the lane that leaves the room on the right.

There is a cloth hanging from top to bottom at the entrance of the lane room, which is not visible from the corridor.

"Yo, Miss, and Jace. I'm sorry, but you need to eat something outside."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lane ordered the two people waiting in the room to step aside and invited Hexer and Jack in.

Something a little strange happened. I speak Japanese.

Having said that, Lane sat down on her bed (just shaping the soil and putting a blanket on it).

Ah? Ahh...

Hexer and Jack sat down on the floor, responding in a low voice.

Those are the kids that were casting out on the Dart Plain.

I see.

We both knew that Lane personally bought child slaves and gave them magic education.

Of course, I don't remember my face or name.

The two of them were in different places, but one of them was investigating a forest fire near Lake Cervonne on the 13th of last month.

Hmmm.

Forest fire? We need to investigate how big it is.

"Yeah. The fire itself doesn't matter right now... it's not good, but it's going on." That's where I met the Rombert guy. It was discovered, so I tried to escape. It was hardened with soil. "

”... hey, don't say that lightly.”

Is there anyone besides Lane who can do that?

Both Hexer and Jack said in a dazed voice, but they immediately remembered.

By the way, Denan or Zincade? Didn't they build a big castle or something?

Tankur and Denan, Kincade. You were covered with earth walls from village to village... and a castle covered with stone walls was built in Gimali and Muse...... ”

Anyway, the stone builder can build big earth walls, so he can do that... even a black witch can do it...

Lane nodded slowly and inherited the words.

'Yes, I think it's very likely that someone did that. Ah, that's a young man. "

What's your name?

I didn't say that.

Well, there's no way that Ronaldo didn't bother to name himself.

In Jack's words, Lane shrugged his shoulders.

"... anyway, I met someone who was so good at witchcraft in the Dart Plains... It seems that my slave was only told a little story after he was checked out for his status and confirmed to be a Geghran slave." So they sent me a message and they let me go. "

Huh? Message?

This.

Lane showed the two of them a small board.

Is it Japanese?

It only seems to be in Japanese.

That's right. After confirming that I was Geghran's slave, I only verbally told him to remember it well.

That's......

Yeah. I need to know that Lane is reborn from Japan...

You didn't say that, did you?

That's right...

There was a report that a Rombert named Marquis Greedo had been reincarnated when he came to the capital.

Yeah, but she was a woman.

"There were other people who were reborn, right? Also, the person who said the message had red hair and black eyes......]

There was also a report. that you defeated a dragon in the underground labyrinth of Rombert...... ”

Greedy, sure.

It must be the same rebirth as us after all.

"Wait a minute. The color of my hair and eyes only matches the information." It's decided... I said Japanese, and at least the man who messaged Lane and this slave was reborn and seems to have made no mistake. "

But Marquis Greedo is reborn, isn't he? The color of my hair and eyes matched. It could be that person. "

Come on brother, do you think the Marquis will be watching the forest fires in the middle of the Dart Plains?... ah, no, maybe I will. I'm as good at magic as a lane... I think it was that guy who built earth walls in Denan and Zincade and stone walls in Gimari and so on... ”

The three looked at each other in a serious way.

"... it was reported from the cells of the King's capital that there were no names other than those who directly matched the rebirth of Bharadikh. I think you can trust the content of this report itself....."

Hexer nodded to Jack's words.

"But it looks like they know about Lane." Or rather, because I knew it, I sent a message in Japanese to Lane's slave..... "

Yes, where did it leak from?

Lane holds her body in her arms and says:

Fearful emotions are clearly evident in the appearance.

I don't know... maybe there's even a Greed spy in Land Grease.

I think it's more natural to think like that. And the spy will also need knowledge to be able to identify rebirth. If you think about that, you may have grabbed all of our rebirth information... ah ”

Jack remembered Hexer's words, too.

Maybe it was that guy back then...

What about that time?

Lane, it's highly likely that our conversation was overheard at our house by an unknown rebirth......

Oh, I remember. It's possible that this person gave me my information...... ”

'Yeah. It would be expensive. I can't remember exactly what we were talking about, but we don't call each other by names. But lane and everyone else's names could have been mentioned. "

Maybe that's Greedo...

There is no such thing as a boulder.

At the same time, Jack and Lane look at each other and smile.

And Jack said, "You're the one who said there was a high probability of a dwarf because he was short, right?" 'I whispered.

"There are only two Ronbelt reborn names I'm holding here." Among them, there is only a marquis named Greed. There are characteristics of hair and eyes, but it is highly likely that Greed will wait for you to contact him. "

But how do I get in touch with you?

I don't know how to do that... well, what the hell are you waiting for?

Well, that's it. Simply thinking about it, it's possible that we are watching whether the threat or warning that we know you exist, or whether the information that we have received "waiting to be contacted" during our rebirth, will be shared. "

”Hey, big brother. How can I do that at the moment if it's shared... oh, it doesn't have to be right now...?”

I see. If it doesn't seem to be shared, you might think that we might be able to escape the rebirth.

That's right. That's not all. After receiving the message, Lane didn't even report it to Alec or Mule. First of all, the fact that she's talking to both of us... oh, that's too much to think about. It's better to tell this story to Alec or something. "

That's right.

Lane, it's better to go now, as soon as possible.

"Hmm, I know. But there's just a few more things to talk about.”

Well, it doesn't matter if it's a little bit, but what is it?

You said the two slaves were in separate places, didn't you?

Oh, is there something else?

Yes. I think you should tell Alec and the others, to be honest, but can you give me your opinion?

Yeah.

Lane starts talking with a small smile.

My slaves, by Lake Cervonne... oh, it's a completely different place than the one I just saw, but I found the dragon child.

Oh, is it safe for a child?

What's the matter with you?

I'm getting used to it...

Hah!?

It's a little loud!

The two of them shut their mouths in a panic when Lane pointed them out.

However, the dragon was a monster that took so much damage the other day.

”Even if it's a child, it seems to be about a meter in size, so you can't keep it secret so no one can understand it, right? Besides, it looks like a Pearl Dragon when it's in status....."

Pearl Dragon?

"It's a beautiful white scales dragon like a pearl." It is said that people often live by the sea. "

You know more.

”Oh, you didn't say that before? Before I entered the labyrinth of Venkelish, I went through quite a bit of literature on monsters. There seems to be a Pearl Dragon in the cave along the sea, about 20 meters long, even more south than Coract. It seems that the exhaling steam is hot, and if it is eaten by humans, there is not a thing, but people don't eat much. Fish and sea beasts have been seen flying around."

No... I see. But that's a dragon, isn't it?

That's right.

Hey, are you going to keep it?

Because it seems beautiful.

No, that's not the problem.

Don't you want to ride on your back? When you get used to it, you might fly on your back. ”

Oh, oh...

Getting used to it, are you getting used to it? A dragon?

Seems so. They're beginning to understand some words as well.

……

It is understandable for both of us to keep it, not to keep it, and not to hide it from dragons.

Either way, there's no harm in reporting it to Alec.

In addition, Jack thought, "I'd better dispose of it while I'm still a small, harmless child..."
