The Branded Female Fencer

Guilty Sword, Part 10 - Prep Period ① ~

"Kiko, I need the next document."

"That's a rare motivation. Will there be abnormal weather tomorrow?"

"Unfortunately, I can't afford to hang out with jokes. That's just too much work. Something called work increases faster than maggots and mice. The greatest enemy of my life."

"Can't you make a good joke? Yes, it's a replacement."

And he laid a bunch of papers upon Miriazal's desk. From the side, orange infarcts and maples each keep the same paperwork. On a pile of paperwork so that he could no longer see Miriazar sitting there, Miriazar had a pulling laugh on his mouth as he passed by to be shuddered.

"... Oops, aren't you willing to help?

"Unfortunately, we're pretty busy too. If you're cleaning up the paperwork, we're moving them to confirm it, right? In a mouthless place, the beginning and end of pulling out even the reserve and retirees to leave the job to them. Unfortunately, I'm so full that I feel like borrowing cats and even Moe Bird's mouth."

"Is there a shortage of manpower everywhere? Let's sort things out a little bit."

Miriazal retrieves a single seal. That's an application form from Alphilis. There was a further wish written inside.

"Have you read the application form from Alphilis?

"No way. I'm not the one who does such nonsense. I'm still very impressed with this."

"What about maple?

"Me too. I'm just a messenger."

"Hmm, so where did Alphilis get this information from?

"What does it say?

Maple rarely asked Miriazal a question. Maple has also become a liaison between Alphilis and Miriazar, and since then he has more and more opportunities to speak directly with Miriazar. Maple feared and respected Miriazal until then, and was reluctant to talk, but realized that Miriazal was not craving a puppet that was true to him. It is only those who have their own opinions and are able to express their views that Miriazal desires. Therefore, the mouthless must know the art of killing their hearts, and the art of using their hearts. It is those who can do two conflicting things that will make Miriazal's best friend.

After knowing that, Maple became more aggressive than ever in his conversation with Miriazar. If I had time, I would go into and out of the library where Miriazal had simmered in and begun to seek knowledge. For the first time there, the maple was gradually becoming perceptible of Miriazal's actions, as well as those of Alphilis.

Miriazal, who enjoys growing maple, usually returns things funny, but only this time Miriazal has also responded with a complex look.

"The Alphilis guy asked me to lend him a weapons production plant. Well, what's the matter with you?"

"Weapons production... where did she tell that story?

Kazuko cuts back with a strange face. No one should know about Arnelia's weapons factory. If you know, is there a traitor, or is Alphilis' information network out of the group? I am serving as a Kingsamurai today, and the orange infarct stares at the maple. If the information were to leak, it would be most likely to leak through the maple. Maple also thought of the possibility and felt the ambient air cool for a step.

But Miriazal is the wind that blows wherever he feels the air.

"Calm down. I don't know what I imagine every country would do with their own weapons and protective equipment production. Then what they do not state that fact clearly is that there is no definitive evidence. I know very little about the place, even with no mouth. Now, Maple still needs to know."

"Yes, I certainly don't know"

I just insist that the maple is here. Orange infarct alert seems to have dropped one step. Miriazar continues.

"Alphilis will naturally go for that possibility. But lending the place of production is a bold demand. Maybe she has something to be sure of."

"Because you want to? No, rather, what does she want to make?

"That's funny inside. He wants to make something that uses gunpowder to launch iron. The current stone thrower is too large to carry, so I said it would be lighter. I guess this will hold up to a long march. There's a lot more, but this is the most visible weapon for now."

"So you're talking about weapons development."

He nodded lightly at the words of Miriazal, looking at the letter as if it were interesting. There were numerous approximations of the weapons discussed by Alphilis with Cowen.

Alphilis always thought. To fight the Demon King, the average soldier must have the power to fight. But it takes time to train people to fight them. Alphilis also knew that since the Demon King would be reinforced one after the other, we would soon be unable to catch up.

Then let him possess a strong weapon - Alphilis knows that a man with a spear is more troublesome than a sword if he is a miscellaneous soldier. Because the spear gives reassurance to those who have it in its range of attack. Weak if nostalgic, but because of the reassurance of being able to take first hand, inexperienced soldiers are told that having a spear is more effective on the battlefield than a sword. And after thinking about it, Alphilis came to the idea of a more powerful weapon that could be attacked from a distance, more secure and as a weapon. One of them was the idea that we should be able to strike iron chunks instead of arrows.

The same idea was also in Cowen. One of the most distressing aspects of her thinking about tactics was the siege war. In the flatlands there is indeed a variety of controversial military laws, but when the opponent stands in the castle, suddenly the tactics decrease in number. Climb the ladder, dig holes and infiltrate, or pile up earthbags. However, a limited number of such tactics are all taken into account in the construction of the castle today. It is no exaggeration to say that the method of building castles, fearful but less devised of the physical abilities of beasts, has brought stability to the nations of today. The castles and fortifications that countries make today boast of the robustness of the iron walls as they stand. Breaking through requires special weapons and training like a castle attacker. She therefore needed to devise a new siege weapon from scratch.

The idea of a throwing weapon so that the answer such two have arrived can destroy the walls of the castle. It was at this time that the prototype of the weapon, later known as "artillery", was born. The only difference in the idea was that Alphilis thought to defeat the Demon King, and Cowen came up with it as a siege weapon.
