Episode 57

The palace of the Kingdom of Tria, the capital of the Sinsenrom Empire.
There was a beautiful woman going through a mountain of paperwork.
Empress Theresia of the Synsenrom Empire.
“Your emperor. There is an urgent call from Nerder.”
No wonder he is called the emperor.
The emperor of the Sinsenrom Empire was her husband Porochi, but the real ruler was her, who was also the Queen of the Tria Kingdom.
“hmm? in Nerder? There was nothing special in the kingdom of Ybel… … .”
She was not particularly interested in Nerder.
It was just a land that his cousin, the King of Ibel Kingdom, showed interest in.
If there was a problem in Nerder, it could be seen that the kingdom of Ibel was inevitably involved.
“that is. This prince has appeared!!”
“what??!! What did you just say?!”
She jumped up from her chair in surprise.
From nob le mt l. com
Judging from the way she held her belly in her hands, she looked like she was pregnant.
“Leopold appeared… I was giving thanks to God just for returning without dying. So what do you say you are doing?!”
A drop of tear falls down along the line of her graceful face.
She was determined to prepare for war, but she was also the mother of a child.
I had received word from the Ingleson Kingdom before, but I didn’t know it would come to the North Sea rather than the Middle Sea.
“It appears to have departed two days ago from the Republic of Nerder.”
“But why now?!”
It’s not a complicated route, just borrowing Nerder’s long-distance communication.
“It seems that the minister dispatched to Nerder took great care to maintain secrecy. There’s something a little strange about it… … .”
Long-distance communication, equivalent to the distance between countries, cannot be operated by individuals or secret societies.
It was so expensive and complicated.
It was the reason why Lian was able to change the game of naval battles by capturing the communication line.
The envoy dispatched to Nerder dared to deliver the letter through the intelligence route.
So the news is bound to be late.
“okay. What is it written on? no. I’ll see. here… … .”
Opening the letter, Theresia slightly frowned.
contents is.
[My dear lord and member of the Sinsenrom Empire… (syncopation)… In winter… (syncopation)… You are the second son… … .]
The rhetoric and greetings were so long that I had to skip several times to read the main body.
Even though this secret letter was abbreviated because I had to use short-term communication magic in between, it seemed that he was working hard to make it look good.
Nerder probably feels downgraded because the Republic is not an important place for the Sinsenrom Empire.
Despite his efforts, Theresia does not pay attention to the project dispatched to Nerder.
“why… What the hell did they go through to make them want to see their mother’s army with their own eyes? What to worry about… … .”
Sinsenrom Empire is a country that has been at war for 30 years.
All sorts of countries got involved in that war.
As much as it was at the center, the army’s power is not bad.
“It’s my lovely second request, so there’s nothing I can’t do!”
Feeling moved, Theresia clenched her fists.
“Haona. your majesty! When spring comes, you have to go out. To give the soldiers a little more rest. What’s more, they haven’t even been drafted yet, let alone organized.”
Theresia turned her head to the chancellor.
Overwhelms the chancellor with his unique charismatic eyes.
“We just meet a little earlier.”
Then, in a slightly softer tone.
“I have to train anyway. Maybe now is the right time. Immediately mobilize all forces and send the elite first to prepare for review.”
“All right. Her Majesty the Empress.”

Going Missha moves at night. During the day, it hid in a shady place like a mountain and rested.
As usual, let’s break the dawn.
The Going Missha went to a corner and stopped operating.
“Quaaa!!!”
Normal sailors are lively even at daytime, but the two missionaries had red eyes.
“I really can’t eat it.”
“Uncle navigator. Goji is right in front of you. Just cheer up a little.”
Lian shouted Fighting.
The navigator was no different than a navigation.
He who lived by watching only Ye Hao for a long time. I was wrestling with a map.
It’s not even a map you’re familiar with. It was a complex military map made from books in the Thrang Empire.
There are some precise parts. There were a lot of sloppy parts.
– I guess this is not the way.
Even if Lian was a deceased person, he couldn’t memorize the entire map.
Approximate directions and major locations.
– Mister navigator. Have a good look!
-no. Just because it’s a map doesn’t mean it’s accurate. It’s not my fault.
I was more lost than I thought, but I was on my way to finding it somehow.
Occasionally, private houses came out, but I didn’t have to worry about that.
– Go get some water.
-yes?! on this night Is it looting?
-This is inside the Synsenrom Empire. Just give money and buy it.
-It’s a pity.
I didn’t really care too much about security.
The Going Misha will arrive first before their sightings are told.
Still, the ban on looting was to glorify later rumors.
“young master!!!”
A little kid came in as a missionary.
Rihanna is also a kid, but she looks much younger.
It was Vezimir’s younger brother, Betz.
“uh… okay. Our cute dreaming doctor.”
“Because I’m going to become an alchemy pharmacist. young master.”
“It’s good to be both a doctor and a doctor. So what happened?”
“I wanted you to collect herbs. Looking at the environment here, I think there is a lot to be gained.”
He would often come to me in the morning like that and ask for permission.
Of course, his older brother Vezimir was collecting herbs.
Come to think of it, Vegemir, the future poison king, is also a very nice guy.
When I see him not ignoring his younger brother’s words and listening to them even though he grumbles.
“Come back at noon instead. Starting today, I will move during the day.”
“Yes!! thank you young master.”
Betz went outside with Vezimir.
At Lian’s words, the navigator tilted his head.
“bantling! It’s daytime. You’ve been doing well during the day.”
“hehehe. It takes less than half a day to reach the Schul area.”
“therefore! You’re going to wander around the area in broad daylight?!”
Ryan shook his head.
“You said it’s been a while since you haven’t fired a gun. Is it right to shoot at night? We should shoot during the day.”
Actually, there was a bigger reason.
It is to show off its presence to the residents of the Shull area.
arguing at night If you run away, only rumors will remain in the end.
There is a saying that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred days.
You have to show it in moderation.
“Even the navigator, close your eyes quickly. We will be leaving in the afternoon.”
Ryan said that and sat in the captain’s seat. and soon.
nice.

“kid. wake up. You asked me to wake you up?!”
someone shook me awake
“Hmm. hmmm I want to eat sooju with soup~”
Ryan waved his hands in the air and talked in his sleep.
“Ugh. Am I a babysitter? How can you wake a child from sleep?”
“Sometimes you say you’re a lord~”
“what? When did you wake up?”
“Wash up a bit. The smell of soup comes from the body of the vice captain. hamm~”
Ryan got up from his seat and stretched.
It is noon when the sun pecks at the top of the head.
I couldn’t sleep for several hours, and my body was very tired.
“mister. uncle navigator. wake up.”
This time, Lian woke the navigator.
“Ahhhhh~ Shuttle Haksen~ Beer woo~”
The navigator also talked heavily in his sleep.
I’ve been through a lot of hardships for the past few days.
For reference, Shurein Haxen was a pork feet dish that was mainly eaten in the Ger Kingdom Union.
It looks like something you ate deliciously in the Nerder Republic.
“Mr. Vice Captain.”
“Why are you calling me all of a sudden?”
“Give me your hand.”
“huh? So here we go. Suddenly the hand… Aww!!”
Lian put the vice-captain’s hand on the navigator’s mouth.
finally broke
Ryan seems to be complaining.
“Then I’m going to wash up a bit.”
“Pirates don’t wash well. What if you use precious water for washing?”
“That is old. Going Missha is the latest model. How nice the shower room is!”
Especially in the sea, it draws in water. While cooling the engine heat, it makes purified water with steam and stores it.
A small amount of salt can be obtained as a by-product.
‘Some things are better than the world I lived in.’
So, even if there is not enough water, there will be no dripping.
no, left
How unwashed these pirates are.
Rather, water was scarce when moving over land.
As water went in to cool the engines, land-based floats were inevitably smaller.
‘The raid… This afternoon would be suitable.’

The border of the Sul region, where it touches the northern Ger kingdom union area.
The soldiers guarding the fortress there were languidly basking in the warm sunlight.
occasionally.
all over
When the wooden floating boats pass through the gate, it is enough to go down briefly and inspect them.
The Sul area is the largest industrial area in the Northeast of the Yul continent.
It is a rich place with good quality iron and magic stones.
“Will there be another war?”
“yes. Not too long ago, the king personally led a large army through.”
Perhaps they will raid the harpoon kingdom.
It was to stabilize the rear during the war with the supply route and Sinsenrom Empire.
“It is us. what are you worried about I just need to protect the fort anyway.”
“I feel sorry for those who were dragged into the war.”
“Poor b*tch. We have to rot here for the rest of our lives before being discharged. I’d rather go to the battlefield and get loot. I get a meager salary here… … .”
“Hans! that… that… … .”
Suddenly, one of the soldiers guarding the fort stopped talking.
“what? Why are you making a fuss?”
What appeared in their eyes was a little unusual wealth.
The latest in ironclad armor with an elegant streamlined hull.
It’s a waste to use as a merchant ship, no, it’s a high-end type that can’t be used.
“what. That… … .”
“The Synsenrom Empire?”
There is nothing particularly strange about it.
The Ger Kingdom Union, which borders the border, is also a vassal state of the Sinsenrom Empire.
Of course, the Thirty Years’ War weakened their influence a lot, but… … .
“When those guys pass by here, they use the Ger Kingdom union flag, not the Synsenrom Empire flag!”
Now, the Sul region is occupied by the Roysen Kingdom.
I have to trade, so I don’t come here with the flag of the Sinsenrom Empire.
Moreover, the flag under it is also an unfamiliar pattern.
“west… no way. Wouldn’t that be creeping in?”
“So relaxed? It’s not like there’s a separate army attached.”
Common sense makes it crazy for a flotsam to attack a fortress single-handedly.
No, putting a floating ship into the siege warfare itself is not suitable for cost performance.
“Let’s inform them first!!”
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~
I immediately started ringing the bell. The commander guarding the fortress crawled out.
“what… hamm~”
He seemed still awake.
It’s not like it’s winter, and the day is warm, so I overslept for the first time in a while.
“A strange-looking opulence is approaching.”
“Isn’t it good?”
“Looking at the shape, it looks like a warship.”
Merchant ships were a little different in shape because loading was the most important.
Of course, when war breaks out, there are times when merchant ships are requisitioned to fight.
A long time ago, when the Ingleson Kingdom was at war with the Ibel Kingdom, they used merchant ships that way.
“Hmm. good. Let’s go.”
The commander of the fortress waddled up the stairs.
It was a stairway to the castle wall that I could climb only once a week.
“Huh! what… What is that?!”
The unidentified floating ship, already marked as Going Missha, approached close enough that the ship’s name could be read.
Very slowly, it is also coming up the steep hill leisurely.
The purpose is still unknown.
“hmm… Is it a diplomatic ship?”
The first thing that came to the commander’s mind was something that was extremely common sense.
Wouldn’t it be so if the newest model like that would proudly come here where there are few warships?
But the commander forgot one thing.
If you were a Shinigami, you had to wear a white flag together.
“hmm. I’ll have to see you soon.”
The Going Misha stood in front of the fortress’ huge gate.
It is so large that a floating ship can pass through it.
rattle! Kiki-kki-kki!
The Going Misha climbed a low hill and stood in front of the gateway fortress. Then, while standing, slowly begin to turn your body sideways.
Seeing that, the fortress commander’s thinking was temporarily paralyzed.
“what… what!!”
There were surprisingly many people who couldn’t react when faced with the impossible.
Especially when the mind is unprepared or untrained.
Stag play!
The gun of the Going Misha opened, and the horses poked their heads out there.
It was like saying hello. And then.
Beopbeopbeobung!
(Ahh hello!)
Mapo spewed fire.
Kwagwagwagwang!!!
The explosion blew up everywhere.
Despite the splashing of shrapnel and chaos on both sides, the fort commander still stood still.
