The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 216: A Moment in a Separate Mansion

As he stepped down to the Howe family apartment and down from White Twilight, Senior Lily rushed over.

"-How 'd you do that? Success?

Senior Lily has been helping me manufacture flame barrels since this morning.

"Yeah. Almost all of them must have exploded."

"Good."

Senior Lily said as he stroked his chest down relieved.

It's my idea, so sticky, it's not Senior Lily's fault if I fail...

"Well, but that's a problem. Because if there's no net, it'll crack."

Since it is a weapon that presupposes that there is a net, on the contrary, a flame bottle is better if there is no net.

Well, a barrel would definitely crack the whole thing if you dropped it, so after that the gunpowder would ignite, but it's not a very optimal way to burn.

"I've been thinking about it, but I think it's good to make it out of metal."

"Well, you're right"

In the future.

"However, when it comes to metal containers that can't be broken even if dropped from that altitude, inside..."

When it comes to creating incendiary shells that have nothing to do with whether there are nets or not, we need containers that fall but don't break the other way around.

Then the thickness of the meat becomes thicker and heavier. It is harder for eagles to put on board and also increases the amount of gunpowder needed to break the container.

"The containers are made of thin plates and don't attach cone-shaped sturdy iron to one of the cylinders. Then we'll go down on our own in the air?

Oh, did you have that hand?

Why didn't I think of that?

"I don't think the container itself will crack even if it's made quite thin if you try to fall off the sturdy spot. Then the penetration comes out, so maybe the ship's opponent can penetrate the deck."

"That would be nice"

Looking at it from the air, the power of the self-explosion ceremony was amazing, so it seems like it would be a good idea to proceed with the improvement in that direction, even if it is slightly higher.

Another advantage of self-exploding formulas is that they can add strong thermal energy to the liquid that becomes the ignite at once.

In other words, it does not necessarily have to be a light oily liquid that can be easily ignited by sparks, since the heat source is not an ignited cloth or anything, but a powder that gives a huge amount of heat.

It may be difficult to keep the crude oil intact, but it will no longer be necessary to have the luxury of using only the best parts distilled.

"Well, when it comes to mass production, we can't have a little burn today or tomorrow..."

"It's okay. You don't have to make it to this fight. It's enough to develop it after winning."

"Really? Well, I doubt I'll win. Yuri-kun Yashi"

"So how many barrels did you have?

I only dropped forty-two flame barrels because I only took them for what I had finished making.

Only a few.

"I've got thirty for now. And I think I can collect about seventy of them from a city other than Wang Du. But it looks like we're gonna have to make something new."

"Well, it's half the size."

Naturally, it is not possible to load eagles with large barrels such as those used to mature alcohol in distilleries.

Barrel sizes ranging from ten litres to twenty litres, to the extent that they could be piled on eagles, were not produced in large quantities due to niche demand, and only forty-two were in stock at the Barrel Shop in Wang Du.

The wealthy people would buy it in large barrels of about five hundred litres, and the countrymen, like it would take more than a day or two to get to the liquor store, would buy it in barrels of about a hundred litres.

Drinking alcohol that lives in the city makes it possible to go to the liquor store on a daily basis, so even home drinkers buy alcohol in something like a barbecue bump.

There is not much demand for barrels ranging from 10 litres to 20 litres, which feels like they are short and long in the belt.

Now that the distribution of bottles is rapidly spreading, there is still little demand.

"Well, let the King's Capital bring it in his spare time eagle. Just prepare the explosives, please. For immediate use as soon as oil is transferred from the flame bottle."

"Yes. You should also experiment with mixing fluids other than light oils. Yeah, right?

"Oh, please, if you can. For now, I don't mind just light oil liquids."

"I'll do it ~. Or because I actually did some more. This."

Senior Lily took out something she had in her back hand when she said so.

It's a cylindrical black object, with strings out.

"Oh... this is good"

"If it's light oil liquid, it might be, but I was wondering if it would be a bad idea if the crude oil was damp. If you do this, you'll have a few hours. Do it?

As you can see from what I've seen, this is what made the asphalt stick to the barrel explosive.

Asphalt is the last remaining drooling liquid in the process of crude oil distillation and solidifies at room temperature.

I guess I dipped it in an iron pan or something melted asphalt with a chong while holding the string.

Because the surface will be somewhat stiff, they will be easier to handle than just wrapped in paper.

"Didn't it explode?

"Substances and monsters that dissolve in a little over a hundred degrees. Gunpowder's gonna go about 300 degrees.

"If you screw up the temperature control, it will be a major accident. I'm very worried."

Whether the molten asphalt is one hundred degrees or three hundred degrees, etc., cannot be seen from the outside.

If it overheats and plunges into an asphalt that reaches 300 degrees, the dissolved asphalt will scatter momentum.

Naturally, the workers will not be safe, and this could lead to a fatal accident. You won't have to die to suffer terrible burns.

"Ugh, yeah... I'll be careful when handling gunpowder..."

"What am I saying when I'm making you do this, but be careful...... when soaking gunpowder, work with a small amount tested after turning off the heat source. I mean, don't work for yourself"

"Yeah, I will. If anything happens now, it's hard..."

No, I'm in trouble whenever I get hurt...

"Well, I'm gonna go now 'cause I'm stuck with work."

Senior Lily tells him to break up the conversation,

"See you later."

So I went back to the mansion.

That's sudden. What the hell is wrong with you?

"Lord Chief."

"Wow."

I was suddenly called out.

"What is it, Soim?"

I know you weren't eavesdropping, but he was holding back in the shade.

I wonder if it was hard for me to come out because I was young and capricious.

"Yes, sir. We're past you."

Playful. Bowed.

What's going on?

"Are you all right? Well, have you been able to feed yourself?"

Soim ate a shoulder watermark when he was going to decide to die in a fierce battle with a witch, and was very disappointed, so he went home to heal once.

I thought you were going to stay hidden, but it looks like you're back.

"I was greatly disappointed by the army of witches, but I wanted to take the spear again. I was hoping you could join me at the end of the line."

"Are you all right? Nothing, you can stay hidden. Who did you name the Medal of No Shame on?"

They've become famous in samurai neighborhoods, and they even have some weird street names at the end of the day.

I guess I've had enough.

War isn't something a soldier can change, and if you were satisfied, it would be easier for you to rest.

"No, because my grandson told me. As soon as we're excited."

"What did they say?"

"I wonder if heaven is saying that survival still has a role to play,"

Doesn't that mean you still have a role to play in being a grandpa and watching your grandson's grandson?

I met the current owner of the Hao family the other day, but I definitely am.

Grandpa, I was worried you might get bogged down.

"So it's up to me to recap that the last true enemy this soim deserves was the Crusaders, and to arouse them."

Thanks, they interpreted it differently.

"Tell you what, the witch gesture was in the front seat."

"Ugh......"

My teacher has a headache.

"But I was listening to the conversation earlier with indignation, what if this battle, is an easy win?

Looks worried somewhere.

Do you have trouble winning easy......

"There's no way. There's about 100,000 of them. Maybe 120,000 or so."

If we can completely destroy the enemy's barracks, we can win without fighting, but unfortunately we don't have the remnants of the flame bottle.

I'm burning so hard to beat down the barracks, but the guys are taking care of it, and the barracks are piled up in small pieces and away from each other.

Unlike nets and the like, this is a kind of measure that is hard to solve.

Like before, it hasn't even happened this time with gunpowder mixed in the pile of luggage to detonate it.

Perhaps the kind of gunpowder is housed in the tent.

Destroying the ship has been successful, but food is being transported by carriage from the Issue City State Zone.

This is vast, thin and small as a supply line, but it is difficult to block it completely.

Thousands of horses are hiccupping back and forth, and this doesn't make much sense to burn and kill dozens of them with a flame bottle or something.

A new first aid bridge wooden bridge is already on the hot bridge as well.

He let the low-floor ship he had prepared upstream go in while burning, and once he succeeded in destroying it, but now he's finished repairing it.

Well, on a narrow supply line to that extent, it won't support 120,000 people's food, but it will add up somewhat.

"Ho... So you said earlier to reassure your woman."

"You deserve it as a general. What are you gonna do, make him fear for nothing?"

Dimitri, I won't tell you to rest in the ranks of the military leaders, but otherwise, you should always reassure them.

Especially Senior Lily and others, who have a reputation for being close to me, so you'd feel like the people around her would be fine if she took it easy.

"I see. I'm impressed with this soim"

Soim bowed his head again and expressed a great deal of respect.

"So, you want to fight?

"Of course you are"

Then we have a great story to talk about.

"I have a plan to gather the outstanding cavalry out of Kirchina to form a team. I can barely use Boff and Noza's cavalry, so I have extra cakedrip."

The cavalry does not care about dying from gunfire, but needs the will to rush into a position where gunpowder smoke can burst, so it serves only a brave (or not) cuss in training.

"I'll put about fifty horsemen on you, especially the brilliant ones. How about leading that cavalry?"

"It's an honor. Be sure to meet your expectations."

Soim shone his eyes and gave me a great salute.

He's so happy.

"The task of that unit is the crushing of a scout light cavalry that precedes the army. Keep one decent knight from the Boff family familiar with the surrounding geography"

"I see. You're slowing your legs down."

When the main military force marches, a reconnaissance light cavalry is rolled out ahead, removing the danger of ambush.

If that scout light cavalry does not return or meet his enemies, the main army force will be pressured to respond for a moment and will be stopped for a moment.

Soim is also a military official, so I guess he understands the ripple effect of that heap, even if I don't mention it.

"There are plenty of places on this main street from Mittal that go through the woods. Around there, land surveys are used to cut the way out and wipe out all the scouts. However, if the enemy is a powerful reconnaissance force, you don't have to deal with them."

"Yes. Got it. I've done the same thing before."

Have you done it before?

That's the kung fu of the year...... it's not Dada who has a long military history.

"If the enemy seems to reopen and speed up the march, he decides to ambush with about a thousand infantry men. We have a unit for that, so keep in touch."

It's a boulder.

"It could be more or less a month of military service, okay? If it's better to make a showdown, I will."

"I know how to strain and loosen this soim. There's nothing like a month or so. I'd like you to come with me, Corporal, a little brilliant."

"Okay. Let's talk about it."

Though, we're all like the kind of guys whose names have been roared in Kirchna, so that doesn't seem necessary either.

"Then write the decree and come to the office."

Copy that, sir.

I started walking towards the mansion.
