Chapter 605. Beyond the sky (3) We must start now.
After checking the necessary personnel, supplies, and weapons for the last time, all the subjugation parties to subdue the Caduceus boarded the ship. Then, the entrance was closed, filled with the insufficient amount of wanjungje, and covered with the remaining iron plate to close it.
Everyone on board was told how the ship would reach the sea, so everyone seemed nervous.
“… … Mr. Arell.”
“wait.”
I nodded to Dia and stepped out in front of everyone.
I asked Dia to use magic on the rest of the ships so they could hear what I was saying.
And I clapped my hands briefly to get everyone's attention.
“Well, since I've already said it once, you should know how this ship will head to the battlefield. Is there anyone who didn’t get it when I asked about it?”
“… … That's right.”
The soldiers hesitantly answered.
Are you scared because you heard it?
That would be scary
No matter how great our technological prowess is, it's ridiculous to blow a ship all the way to the sea.
It would be scary to imagine what would happen if something went wrong.
Knowing that, I answered with a big smile on purpose.
“Don't worry! I rode it, but would it fall to the wrong place for no reason? isn't it? you there what do you think about it?”
When I deliberately pointed out the question, the article hesitated a little, then shrugged.
“Is there anything wrong with it? If the lord and no one else were in danger, there would be no way he would get on it.”
“This guy says the same thing. So don't worry. The ship always arrives. So, what do you think?”
I clapped my hands once more and this time seriously.
“Think only about defeating enemies.”
It reminded us once again that the place we were going was a battlefield.
“How many times have I visited Ernesia Kingdom! There were guys who didn't like where we lived and attacked us.
But each time, we were the ones who won in the end! Don't be scared. The world is on our side! Victory will be like that too.”
Absolutely I will make it.
Keeping those words to myself, I encouraged them.
“ruler! let's go!”
A shout that followed.
Checking their morale again, I sat down.
And he wore a belt to secure his body so he wouldn't bounce off.
After the soldiers and sailors also secured their bodies with belts, a report was heard that everything was ready.
I instructed the outside team to contact me via dia.
“Say it.”
“yes… …
Dia simply said ‘launch'.
You can tell by feeling that a large number of people are busy moving outside.
And one by one they move away from the cannon.
It's time to fire.
This time, silence reigned in the cabin.
Nervousness, tension, thinking about what will happen from now on, I will bite my tongue if I don't keep my mouth shut.
“Going into ignition.”
Dia, who received a signal from outside, made a small announcement.
the inside of the cannon.
At the aft of the iron plate covering the ship, there is a tank containing a large amount of mana propellant produced by applying the mana engine, and a propeller to discharge it.
After all, it's more like a rocket than a cannon.
It's not about breaking through the atmosphere, it's just about flying and landing in a parabola with just propulsion, so it can be done with improvised equipment.
At the signal, the mana propellant was ignited.
I could feel the presence of a large amount of mana igniting in the rear.
Firepower is momentum.
Massive sparks are power.
Ah, may the world be full of power.
… … Well, I'm sorry I can't see it.
There will probably be a rare scene where a large amount of flame erupts from the inside of the cannon outside, but I can't see it because I'm inside.
And slowly, I started to feel like I was moving forward.
Soldiers and knights held their breath as if I wasn't the only one feeling it.
“… … You are going.”
The shaking gradually changes to the feeling of moving forward, and finally.
cooong!
”hmm? I”
t he? ?
At the same time as the heavy shock, a fairly unusual acceleration pressed down on our bodies.
Although not comparable to a real rocket, the thrust and acceleration are considerable.
“oh! fly! It really flies!”
Enjoying no small amount of acceleration, the boat carrying us soared through the sky.
? ? ?
Those who watched the shooting of the boat from the outside were speechless for a while in a daze.
The spectacle of a large amount of flames being stretched out like a tail and huge iron blocks being fired in a row and moving away in an instant made the spectators even more nervous.
“wow… … It really flew.”
While Pena was worried, she inadvertently said something stupid, but no one responded.
The iron wire that was shot out reached the outer boundary of the territory in an instant.
Naturally, the armor that was blocking Pahilia sensed it and moved.
However, there is no way that cans weighing less than 0.5 ton can stop thousands of tons of iron.
The armor also shot arrows and tried to block objects passing through the sky, but they failed to block them and allowed them to pass through to the point of futility.
All that was left was five thick lines of smoke that remained as if the ship had left traces of its passing through the sky.
“Are you trying to get it right… …
“I will arrive. None other than Arel-nim, right? He wouldn’t ride himself into something he couldn’t do.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Pena agreed as well.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried, but the rest of us, including her, can't afford to be idly worried about a ship that flew away.
“Certainly, according to Arel-sama’s words, we should be nervous as well.”
Seina muttered rather seriously as she looked around the area outside the territory.
And sure enough, a messenger came running and reported to them.
“This is a report. According to the observer's report, the boat safely passed over the territory. and… …
It's a good thing that the ship left safely.
But there is no time to be at ease.
As a reminder of that fact, the messenger's report resonated heavily here.
“Those armors are starting to move this time!”
It was as if the ship that had been launched had been a signal flare announcing the start of the war.
At the same time, the battlefield, which had been temporarily stagnant, began to become noisy again.
And not only Fahilia.
All over this planet began to catch fire once again.
How long did he endure the heavy pressure that felt like pressing his body in front of him?
The actual time the ship flew was probably less than a few minutes.
Until a certain point, the pain is aggravated to the maximum, and from a certain moment, it gradually weakens.
And this time, I feel a subtle sense of floating, as if my feet are about to fall off the floor.
The propulsive force weakened and it started to fall down along the track according to inertia.
“Do you think it will fall soon?”
“The location is also on schedule. The same goes for other ships.”
The scenery outside was unknown, but through magic that roughly checked the coordinates, Dia announced that the ship was arriving smoothly.
I could already hear the breathing of relief at that fact.
“Get ready. We will collide soon.”
At the same time, Dia cast a spell.
He cast defensive magic on five ships at once.
Following Dia's signal, the entire shipboard shook greatly this time.
As if sliding through the sea, the outer armor plate was sunk into the water.
The sound of iron grinding and tearing.
The impacted outer armor plate was detached as it was by blasting the joints using pre-arranged magic.
Then, the cushioning material covering the warship was completely peeled off and washed away, and finally the warship carrying us could see the sun.
The great shaking gradually subsided, and finally all five warships landed safely on the sea.
Fortunately, the most ignorant departure method in the world ended successfully.
“Live!”
“Really arrived!”
“Oh God!”
“Long live the lord!”
Sailors and soldiers were thrilled and cheered.
… … Could it be that they were really afraid that things would go wrong in the event of an accident?
No, more than that, it's just the beginning, but it's difficult to cheer as if it's already over.
Currently, the place where we fell is near the coast on the Felsen Kingdom side.
And what kind of place is this?
It's enemy territory.
Of course, right now, a fleet belonging to the Felsen Kingdom was tightly surrounded and waiting for us.
A few of them were smashed and sinking, so it seems that we collided as we flew.
I'm sorry about this.
They would be embarrassed to see a warship suddenly flying overhead.
Seeing that they are still silent and unable to respond, it seems that everyone is bewildered.
Then one thing to do.
“. Shoot”
All five warships opened fire on the fleet of Felsen Kingdom.
Fireballs, electric shocks, and ice shells start flying nonstop from our warships.
“It works.”
One of the weapons I put on while remodeling this time.
It is a unique type of crossbow-shaped weapon currently used by soldiers.
It looks like a crossbow, but there is no bowstring, and instead, only red glowing rods are installed.
A mana turret that even ordinary soldiers can emit class 3 attack magic simply by manipulating it by inserting magic stones into it to supply mana.
The battery fired a flash all at once.
After sinking the surrounding fleet in an instant, we hurriedly departed as planned.
Now, from here, I plan to quickly hit the sea area where they are based.
“however? Lord? that… … Where are the reinforcements?”
Our driver looked around and asked.
If it went as planned, after sending the ship safely to the sea, I informed them that they would join the reinforcements here and depart as they were.
However, looking around, there were no ships floating in the waters around here except for ours that had just arrived and the Felsen Kingdom's fleet from a while ago.
“no way… … The plan went awry... … ?”
“don't worry. It's not like that.”
I leisurely tapped on the armrest as if to reassure myself, estimating the appropriate timing.
It's time to arrive soon.
“… … came.”
Dia was the first to notice.
It detected the change in mana.
And soon, the space on the deck shook and the space opened as it was, and a large number of troops poured down from within and began to board the ship one by one.
The troops sent by each alliance and their leaders had just arrived.
“indeed! You joined by teleport!”
“okay!”
Everyone admires it, but the reality will be a little different.
To be precise, the intention was to send reinforcements when we arrived safely.
If we hadn't sailed, they would have tried to give up.
I would have done the same, so I decided not to ask about it and quietly go over it.
“Arel-nim, then I… …
Dia hesitated slightly before speaking.
She has to go back now.
Now, when landing the ship, she also consumed quite a bit of strength with magic.
Afterwards, I had to hurry back to the Mage Tower to recover and take additional troops to help everyone in order to defend Pahilia.
“No problem, go. Aren’t you all waiting?”
Even if she stays here out of concern anyway, there's nothing she can do as she's almost exhausted.
“… … Are you really okay?”
“It’s okay, so come back.”
I said okay again and patted Dia lightly on the back.
It means go ahead.
Because there is no room for a long talk.
“Good work Dia. And don't leave it behind. can you?”
“… … yes. Then I wish you the best of luck.”
Dia teleported and disappeared.
“then! I'll check the number of people on board and order the deployment! As soon as the confirmation is over, let’s leave immediately!”
I gave orders to everyone and pointed out where we should be heading.
don't look back
The only place to go is in front of me.
“target! Go to the place where those who call themselves the Principality of the Caduceus! I will attack their city!”
