Survival in Another World With My Master

We must look not only at killing, but also at saving. Sure, Sylvie's right. Sylvie, our goal is to reclaim the kingdom of Merinard, not to kill all the people of the Holy King.

Killing is a means, not an end. It seems that at some point I've forgotten the point. [M]

"But killing them is easier than keeping them alive."

"Of course it is."

Sylphie laughs bitterly at my story. After all, what we need now is the power to restore the kingdom of Merinard from the Holy King. In other words, destruction and killing and violence.

"Either way, once, maybe two or three times, you have to pull the side of the Holy King's Landing and make him think that it's not right to put your hand in the Kingdom of Merinard. In the meantime, it's time to turn the rudder in the direction of survival."

I see. We have to win first. "

Although violence does not produce anything, flower garden theories such as abandoning combat power does not make sense in reality. It's a reality to be beaten unilaterally if you don't show it again.

It is a luxury that only the absolute winner is allowed to avoid killing his enemies as much as possible. At least not for us at the moment.

That's why I decided to release the weapon to Sylvie, which is already under development. Sharing information is important.

"Basically, I think we're going to start a defensive battle in the fort."

"Well, we're small. It would be reckless to set up a battle. Using Koske's abilities, we can get close to our enemies in the shade and build a fort before it gets brighter."

"and hit the enemy with a Happy air strike."

Sylphie nodded at my words. I think that the weakness of fortifications and fortifications ends at this point, "inability to move from the place where it was built." No matter how robust and powerful a stronghold it may be from the enemy, it will not pose any threat if it is not close to its base or traffic hub.

The only way to solve that is to build a castle overnight with my craft abilities and an aerial bombardment by Harpy.

We'll build our base near the enemy base, and when we're ready to defend ourselves, we'll launch Happy's aerial bombardment at the enemy base. There will be no way for an enemy to engage in aerial bombardment from a position beyond the reach of arrows and magic. It will be a rare blow unilaterally. It is even conceivable that the match will be decided.

If our enemies were wise, they would have attacked us sooner rather than later to destroy our base. But what awaits there is further violence.

"Waiting for the incoming enemy soldiers are the improved crossbow gunfire and the grenade bombardment. Of course, there will be more air strikes by Harpy. And I also made these."

That's what I pulled out, something like a patterned grenade. Unlike a grenade with a handle, the part touching the handle is not hollow but piled, and the string with a thin metal pile extends from the part touching the warhead. It would also be different in that the warhead part is larger and the shell looks thicker.

"Anti-personnel landmines. Well, it's a trap. Stick this part of the pile on the ground so that the string is pinned and the other one on the ground. And when someone hooks up and pulls the string... it's a bang. The gunpowder in the warhead explodes, spreading a finely shattered metal shell around it."

"Isn't that... dangerous?

The brilliant Sylvie quickly recognized the dangers of this weapon.

"Yes, it's dangerous. It must be installed to ensure it is retrieved after the battle is over. If you don't manage it properly, it's going to be a big deal. If you get caught by an enemy ally, it'll explode."

"You'd better not use that weapon as much as you can."

Yeah, I think so, too.

This number is overwhelmingly low. I believe that anti-personnel mines will be a valuable weapon for us to bridge that number gap. Craft costs are cheap, right?

Then again, there are some of these.

That said, I can install an architectural block on the ground, one cubic meter long, tightly tied to a red cylinder. It says "TNT" on the side.

"What's that?

"Explosive blocks. If you light a fire, it will probably explode."

Maybe?

"I made it, but it hasn't detonated yet."

"I see. So, what do you use that stuff for?

"I wonder if I can use it as a trap, but I'm stuck."

No material has been found in this world that could be used to detonate remotely. The fuse is built so we can pull the string from a distant place and blow it up. I want a safer and more secure electrical blast, or a redstone blast. I'll talk to Isla when I get back.

"I wish there was a way to make sure it detonated from a remote location."

"From a distant place... will it detonate if you light it?

"Yeah, I think it'll detonate."

"Then I wonder if I can use a flare arrow, fire magic, or magic tools. Sure, magic equipment would be good. You should talk to Isla."

"Okay. By the way, if I can definitely blow this thing up from a distance, I dare to let my enemies take the fort and blow up the whole army."

"... Koske can't think of anything surprising."

"Not much."

I think we should dig a tunnel and blow up the enemy base barrier or just below the fort. Bomb dismantling is a man's romance, right?

"That's all I'm thinking about right now. I'll talk to you when I come up with something."

"Hmm... Koske, don't you want to improve your bolt action rifle?

Sylphie said that when he retrieved the explosives block.

Improvement?

"I think it would be stronger if we could fire more and faster."

"Oh, Sylphie is amazing. Indeed, there are such weapons in my world. Or rather, a bolt action rifle with a small number of rounds and no ability to shoot, as Sylphie said, is the main type of rifle that can shoot multiple rounds."

Really? Why don't you make it?

Sylvie leaned her neck. No, she's cute.

"For some reason, ammunition consumption is too intense. Serial guns are definitely powerful, but there's a lot of waste. You're going to scatter bullets like hot water. Currently, producing enough ammunition to operate multiple rifles is difficult in terms of cost. In other words, it is difficult for all 300 people to equip and operate bolt action rifles. If we were to operate satisfactorily with our current production capacity, there would be about a dozen finesse."

Really? I mean, guns are basically gold predators, right?

"That's what it is. Especially ammo. Regarding the maintenance cost of the main unit, the cross-bow and bolt action rifle are not much different, but the cost of procuring arrows is too different."

If you get a lot of lead, copper, and nitrite, that's a different story.

"I'm not a bolt action rifle, but I'm making another gun. This, this, this."

That's what I'm talking about from the inventory. Remove the four guns. One is a pistol with a rotary magazine, the so-called revolver. The other is a magazine-exchangeable automatic pistol. The third is a long gun with two thick barrels arranged vertically. The last one is a fat gun with a similar design to the second gun. This is a barrel.

"Quite a lot, isn't it?

"This is a revolver-type pistol, this is an automatic pistol, this is an up-and-down shotgun, and the last one is a second developmental, pump-action shotgun."

"Hmm... how is it different from a bolt action rifle? This pistol is easy to understand, but... can I have it?

Nice. I didn't put any bullets in it.

With my permission, Silfi grabbed the revolver and watched carefully. Oh, a brown elf and a revolver... don't look good. Serious silfi looks great because she's a cool beauty. This is good.

Surprisingly heavy.

Well, that's a lump of iron. A pistol is a short-range weapon. The gun was six shots in a row, this one up to eight shots in a row. Fires the lead ball just before your finger. Close enough to kill humans with a single blow. "

By the way, both are hamburger country pistols. Personally, I like vodka guns, too, but I do.

"Is this for short-range combat?

I see. In my world, the use of swords and spears in short-range combat has become obsolete, so I basically fought with a serial rifle, and in short-range combat, I fought with a submachine gun that can shoot guns and bullets like this. "

"But you can only shoot six shots, right? Isn't that a problem in times of turmoil?

Yeah, it's a real fantasy world resident question. A sword or spear can be used many times unless it breaks.

"In the first place, such a battle rarely happens in my world. Think about it, each of us has a serial rifle? If you're going to start a riot, you're going to get banged up and holed up. Rifles can't be used in unexpected encounters, and self-defense is often used. And the cops... I think it's a weapon used by the guards."

Still, some of them are crazy enough to cheat on a bayonet attack in the 21st century. The army in the country of tea is really crazy. (Praise)

"I see... where's my big gun?

"There are no melee fights, and whatever you say, this is a melee rifle. Well, it's still a normal effective range up to about 50 meters."

"Well, how is it different from a rifle?

"This can release various types of bullets. You can shoot multiple bullets at the same time, or you can shoot countless smaller bullets. You can also shoot a large bullet. Basically, the smaller the bullet you shoot, the more you don't drop your range."

"Hmm... for what purpose?

"City fights, indoor fights when enemies break into buildings. And it's often used for hunting."

"I see. Is this it?

"There's more. You want to see it?

"I want to see everything first, anyway."

"Okay. Let's go up to the Wall."

Put the gun in the inventory and climb the barrier with Silfi. And I removed a large weapon from the inventory and installed it. This is an installation object, right?

That's a pretty big crossbow.

"It's called a barista. Fly arrows as thick as a spear. Turn this lever around and squeeze the strings. Let's try it."

Hmm.

Work together to turn the lever behind the barista and pull the string. Quite powerful, this.

"You pulled it, so?

This is the arrow for the barista.

"... almost a spear."

"I understand."

Set a dedicated arrow on the barista and move the pedestal to move the aiming.

"Fire to pull this lever. Shoot me in the distance."

"Oh, okay."

Silfi uses a barista to target distant rocks and pull the firing lever. I made a loud noise and a string was played, and an arrow was ejected with great momentum. The flying spear-like arrow hits the rock with great accuracy, and the arrow pierces deep into the rock and crushes it.

"That's incredible."

"We fly farther than the Crossbow, so we can attack more distant enemies. I think we can destroy the broken castle hammer from afar. This is the next one."

Turn the barista into an inventory, and now remove the iron cannon and place it on the chest wall. Cannons aren't that big. The length of the cannon is about 1m. The caliber is less than 5 cm.

"What is this...? Is that a gun?

"What a pity. It's not a gun, it's a gun. It's called a swivel, and it's a weapon that flies bigger bullets farther than a gun. It's more powerful than the barista, but it's expensive to manufacture... as you can see, it uses a lot of iron, and gunpowder and shells are expensive. It's very powerful."

"So it's not suitable for mass production?

"At least now. I think if we take back the kingdom of Merinard and earn a mine, we'll change the story."

That said, I don't think there are any situations where we need guns. As far as Da Nang and Lord Leonard are concerned, I think Barista is good enough.

It is an undeveloped word about weapons in this world, especially projectiles. It is as good as fine bows and arrows, throwing spears, and pole catapults, and weapons with mechanical structures such as catapults, baristas, and crossbows are not well developed at all.

It's just speculation, but I think the cause is magic.

A skilled wizard casts magic that strikes enemies more powerfully from a distance than a bow or arrow. Nature and wizards have a higher status, and they turn to the ruler. The point is nobility and royalty.

Projectiles that could kill themselves from a distance are a threat to them as rulers. So the development will not be happy for them. I wonder if the development of mechanical technology has been hindered by the hands of the wizards who have gained a position, namely the nobles and royalties.

It might just be because it's magical, it's not considered necessary and it's not developing. I really think so, watching the elders fight in heaven and earth.

Let's try this one too. He said he was going to shoot a big bullet, but he's actually planning something else. "

"Really?

"Oh, wait a minute."

Select a specific ammunition from the inventory and load it with a command action. It's more secure than reloading on your own! You don't know anything about loading a preloaded cannon. Loading complete, aim the swivel.

I'm gonna shoot you.

Ah.

Doom! And there was an incomparable gunfire and countless tiny earth smokes in the wilderness.

"Wow, that was great. Did you fly a lot of little bullets?

"Oh, say canister bullets. That's the big one that shoots with the shotgun I showed you. We have to face down the enemy soldiers who push us to the fort."

If these were to be installed on the walls of ten fortifications, the infantry would not be able to swarm. With the current production capacity, we can't deploy it. And then there's the coaching... honestly, all you have to do is let them see me load it with command actions and remember. I don't have the knowledge.

"How long have I been making this stuff..."

"Tips and tricks during the rebuilding of the walls in the village."

All of this took time to create and it was hard. It was the bolt action rifle that adopted the quasi-style, so to speak. After thinking about power, interoperability, ammunition consumption, etc.

Except for the barista, the weapon I just released is almost like a specialty to me.

"Well, baristas are the only ones that can be officially adopted or mass produced, as I've just shown you. It's kind of a crossbow extension weapon, and it's pretty easy to master."

Some of these subhumans are proud of their world power, so they might wind up alone. With Schmel? It might be interesting to make a large crossbow for Schmel.

I will also mass produce anti-personnel mines. No weapon is more effective than that to bridge the gap.

"I see... but was that the gun? What a beautiful thing to say."

"Nh, do you like it? Would you like me to make one for Sylphie?

"Are you sure?

"Fine. I'll make it."

Silfi didn't show much interest in a bolt action rifle, but he didn't show much interest in a revolver... don't look good. Pale moon in one hand, revolver in one hand, sexy? Maybe I'll give you a cowboy hat.

Silver-haired cowboy dark elves and so on are too many attributes, yes. But you want to see it? I'd like to see it.

As for ammunition, I've made enough for you to use, and you should share it with Silfi. I need to teach you how to use it. Never get injured or die from a gun outbreak.

While thinking about it, Sir Leonard and the others came back when they booked a craft on an improved workbench with a Silfi revolver. You're kind of in a hurry.

"Welcome back. What's the matter? You're in such a hurry."

"I heard a lot of noise, so I hurried home. What was that noise?

Ah, it was the revolver. Honestly, I'm sorry.
