Chapter 58
##058
Squeak! Squeak!
Going Missha began to rotate in the opposite direction.
It was for immediate refire.
“Enemy batteries are still intact. hurry! Move! Move! Move!!!!”
Lian urged the gun room through the communication tube.
-Hey guys. Our cute captain wishes!! hurry up!!
The sound of missing teeth leaked through the communication tube.
they moved recklessly.
To Rihanna’s satisfaction.
Bubber Beopbung!!!
The horse cannon fired fire towards the fortress again.
The castle gate, so large that even a floating ship could pass through, was smashed.
Kwaaang!!
It went backwards with a roar.
“my… sh*t! Damage dear… … .”
The soldiers behind him couldn’t escape.
“Quaaagh!”
The soldiers of the fort behind it were crushed, leaving nothing but screams.
“crazy!! It was right.”
“Tom are you okay?!”
“Damn it. My ears are all tingling.”
As the size of the gate was large, people around it were also shocked by the shock when they passed through.
I was in a half panic and didn’t know what to do.
Buff!!!
But are the walls intact?
The Going Misha quickly hit the horse guns deployed in the gateway fortress.
The horse cannons on the fortress wall were unable to counterattack at the sudden blow and exploded helplessly.
woooooong!!
It even caused a mana detonation, but fortunately, the personnel were not properly deployed yet.
However, that alone completely demoralized the troops in the fortress.
Some of the walls had collapsed, and some were blown up by flames, emitting acrid smoke.
It was the result of a fort against a fort.
“Gajwaaa!!”
Lian shouted into the communication sphere and manipulated the crystal sphere.
Click! Click! Click!!
The Going Misha slowly turned and made a forcible breakthrough into the fortress.
But no one stopped it.
Originally, it would be very difficult to capture such a fortress with a floating ship.
The fort was also topographically high. This is because the fort is made of stone, whereas most floating ships are made of wood.
No matter how ironclad the Going Missha is, the dramatic situation like now has occurred because of a surprise attack from close range.
“kid. Is it okay to act recklessly like this?”
The vice-captain asked with a slightly worried face.
“Heh heh. The fool is an idiot. It’s not like we did anything mean like lowering the Synsenrom Empire’s flag.”
Yes. Now, the Synsenrom Empire and the Roysen Kingdom.
“It is also on display. This wasn’t a surprise or anything, it was a gentlemanly attack. Not like a pirate.”
There is no truce yet.
Winter just came and stopped the war for a while.
Still, the international community viewed the Shul area as a disputed area or the land of the Sinsenrom Empire.
“And we are hired, no allies, by this prince of the New Roman Empire.”
“then… … .”
“It is time for plunder. Uncle Vice Captain. Go!”
“hahahaha! My body was itching. It worked.”
The vice-captain brought the settings of the communication port and called out to the Marine waiting room.
“Go-jaaa!!!”
Ooooooooo!!!
Cheers erupted from the Marines’ waiting room.
In the meantime, I rested quite a lot.
Except for subduing 5 of Nerder’s agent knights who followed him a while ago.
Kwagwagwang!!!
The Going Missha spewed hemp in all directions this time.
It was a wish to kill the enemy’s spirit.
burrr!!!
Five auto hoses slid down on the planks lowered by the Going Missha.
After that, pirates of fast movement pour out as if plundering.
“Commander!! Wake up!!”
The adjutant awakened the still-absorbed fortress commander.
The enemies have already crossed the gate and entered the fortress.
“What. You mean this wasn’t a dream?”
“Give me an order quickly.”
“therefore… … .”
The Fortress Commander still had an accident.
“Quickly! Commander. now… … .”
Ride and ride!!!
The sound of the horse gun continued like roasting beans.
Intermittent fighting appears to have taken place.
pop! pop! pop!!!
The Going Misha threatened the enemy by spraying magic cannon into a distant place where there were no allies.
“do… escape. No, retreat.”
“I still have a medical history. It’s barely a piece of opulence. Our Roysen kingdom… Kuck!!”
bang!!!
The adjutant fell with the sound of a horse gun.
Enemies have already arrived this far.
“here!! He is the enemy commander.”
one of the pirates shouted.
The eyes of several enemies who are not in combat are focused in this direction.
with glistening eyes.
“Hee-hee!!!”
Did he come to his senses only after his adjutant fell?
The commander threw himself under the walls of the fortress as it were.
slam!!
Unlike its huge body, it lands with quite agile movements.
The wind blows around him.
“do… escape. No, I have to tell the emperor about this!!”
He started running fast.
It was so fast that no one could catch up with it.
“sh*t!! The commander runs away!!!”
The morale of the soldiers completely collapsed when the commander and adjutant disappeared.
Lian came out of the Going Missha belatedly, raised a horse gun on the deck, and fired wildly.
“Phew. bantling. Is that right?”
The navigator shook his head.
The magic pistol had a short killing range and poor accuracy.
“It’s just a feeling.”
The surroundings were already being quickly cleaned up.
There was no need for Lian and the guards to move.
“Hoo~~!”
Lian blew the haze of the magic pistol with his breath.
Seeing that, the navigator shook his head.
* * *
“One. two. three… four!”
After the battle, the number of personnel began to be identified.
Originally, the event was held only after departing from the ship, but now it was performed leisurely on land.
“One trillion. no problem!”
“This Joe. Everyone is here!”
“Three sets… … .”
The attack was so one-sided that there were no casualties.
No one was hurt, but it was minor.
The most severely injured were those who, while chasing the enemy, took the wrong step and fell down the stairs.
“hahahaha! This is a great strategist!”
“bantling. You barely destroyed a fort, what kind of strategist are you?”
“Heh heh. This is a foreshadowing of a great grand strategy. The little ball has already been shot!!”
When Rian, who was excited, lightly pushed forward with his fists clenched… The navigator had already taken a map and was on the way to the Going Missha without a word.
In his arms were more detailed maps of the Schul region found in the fort.
“Eight. I was proving the greatness of the main seat.”
“So kid. What about those guys?”
The vice-captain pointed to the captives on one side.
“Just. Leave me alone.”
“It’s too bad… … .”
In the pirate’s eyes, a strong man would make a good slave.
It’s also good for money.
“There’s no room to store things, so what can I do with them? It’s not like taking it to Tria and selling it.”
Basically, it is illegal to enslave ordinary people to trade.
in almost all continents.
crime or or not being able to pay it back. During the war, the ransom was not paid even during negotiations with the other country. If it is a people who believe in a religion that is not recognized by the Yul Continent. exception though.
Of course, this couldn’t be kept well.
The biggest producers of slaves are pirates.
“Arthur. Their tails are being stepped on because they are on the military register.”
Unlike other countries, the kingdom of Roysen is mostly a standing army.
It is different from other countries that hire and recruit mercenaries from time to time.
“What is it like?”
“The Chuno soldiers of the Roysen Kingdom are not infamous for nothing.”
Although it was a standing army, the treatment was not good.
In severe cases, when drinking at a bar and not having money to drink, he would sign the enlistment papers on the condition that he pay for the drink instead.
– Feed them.
– Let’s put it to sleep.
– put it on Look at the military uniform, is it really cool? If you wear this, girls… … .
They are naive young people who fell for the tricks of the conscription officer.
When I came, I saw it.
-This is too hard!
– Why is the salary so… … .
-The girls in the neighborhood are twisted!!
A very different reality. So there can be no desertion.
Of course, most of them are caught.
“hmm… That’s a little troublesome.”
“If you openly enslave and get caught, it only increases your notoriety.”
Most, if not all, pirates trade slaves.
From nob le mt l. com
Just try not to get caught.
If caught, there is a bounty. Pretty hard.
Usually, a bounty was put on the church side, so if you caught it, you could raise your honor.
So it’s best not to take the bounty.
“now. Grab your things quickly. Comrades, let’s float fast~”
Lian smiled and boarded the Going Missha.
“Did you hear? Hurry up and move!!”
When the vice-captain ordered, the members moved quickly.
creaking.
The pulley attached to the side of the boat eagerly lifted the items.
Of course, the light ones were hung with ropes and pulled up by manpower.
I don’t know anything else, but the ability to carry things was the strongest job group.
“Let’s go!!”
Lian’s voice echoed through all the speakers on the Going Missha.
woooooo!!!
The pirates let out a satisfied roar.
The remaining soldiers of the fort were depressed.
Wheein~!
A cold wind is blowing hard… Even the clothes they were wearing were robbed and left unattended.
Glad you’re wearing underwear.
If a villager below the fort came to see the situation, what better sight could there be?
Still, I hoped that someone would come soon to release the chains.
It was a warm day, but still winter was winter.
* * *
It was not long before King Roysen Friedl heard the news.
At first, I blinked my eyes for a long time, wondering what to say.
“therefore. Baron Dou Jutiin. If what I heard is correct, it sounds like you abandoned the fort and your men and fled?”
“In any case, it was judged that it was more important to inform His Highness of this news quickly… … .”
Even in the midst of that, he came here and seemed to have borrowed an auto hose from a certain lord.
Also, since he was dressed cleanly, he must have been well received.
The lords of the Northern Ger Kingdom Union area would have treated him as an honored guest.
Although they are nominally enemies, they are the gatekeepers of the Shul area, the largest industrial area in the area.
“Are you saying that… … ?”
cold speech.
King Friedle was furious, but he suppressed his emotions as much as possible.
There were many eyes all around.
When a king goes to war and breaks down with emotion, his men are shaken.
The king should not easily express his emotions, whether he is happy or sad.
That was his philosophy.
at that time.
“His Highness the King!! It’s a telegram. They say that an armed floating boat has appeared in the Shul area and is raiding a military stronghold.”
In fact, in this world, it was faster to use communication magic than to move directly with people.
From nob le mt l. com
Just like now.
Of course, in the case of a marching army, a messenger on an auto horse had to move in between, but it was still much faster than people covering all distances.
“after… did you hear baron! The place you will run to is not where I am. It was a military stronghold in the Shul area! If it was a situation where you had to run away.”
“that… that… … .”
Baron Dou Jutiin bowed his head.
When he had already arrived here, the king had heard of the going Misha’s appearance a little earlier.
Now, very different news that he doesn’t know is being updated quickly.
“You will be handed over to court-martial.”
“I… majesty!!”
“Perhaps the verdict will most likely be the death penalty.”
Perhaps there was a possibility that King Friedle would put pressure on him to make it happen.
If he had been the king of another country, he could have ordered an immediate beheading, but this was a very rational king.
“I don’t want to look like that, so take me out right now.”
“buy… save… please save me!! majesty!! Oh my gosh.”
He was dragged out of the barracks.
King Friedel sighed.
“Incompetent and incompetent.”
“Aren’t there a few nobles in our Roysen kingdom?”
“That means you are incompetent. A guy who didn’t even go to the military academy was appointed as the commander of the fortress because he’s a nobleman, so it’s only going to take a while.”
It was himself who appointed him, but it was an inevitable action.
Even if you succeed in centralization, is it difficult to ignore their influence?
“I’ll have to look at my hands later.”
In the Kingdom of Roysen, the law of Rome, which was a great empire that encompassed the entire continent of Yul in the past, remained, so children inherited equally.
Unlike the eldest son’s inheritance, there were few landlords with large farms larger than a certain amount because the property was divided over generations.
Do I have to say that it’s all over the place?
They were called Junkers, and thanks to this, Roysen was able to quickly and strongly centralize power.
The creation of the first military academy could also be seen as the Kingdom of Roysen, which utilized the Junker class.
“More than that, there are no troops in the Shul area, so how can it be defeated by only one flotation ship?”
Floating ships are not omnipotent.
The roads that can be traveled are limited. Very vulnerable to ambush.
If you block the road, you have no choice but to stop. If the speed was high, it could be knocked over and overturned.
If it comes to a stable stop, then you can hit it with a hidden hemp or capture it with a large number of troops.
“that is… … .”
* * *
Ryan hummed a song.
“Flash in the east! Flash in the book!!! I am Hong Gil-dong.”
After entering the Shull area, the Going Missha deviated from the road again and went to the wrong place.
Again, I moved through the night.
What you can see beneath the sunset-covered mountains is a large city with a large river flowing through it.
It was the 3rd largest in the Schul area.
“no way… You don’t want to go there, do you?”
The navigator sighed.
The outskirts of the city were surrounded by walls.
The way the floating ship could go was blocked by obstacles. There was a floating boat dock quite far from the city.
The goods produced in the city seemed to be transported to the dock in horse-drawn carts.
There was no corner in sight for riches to enter.
But Ryan was confident.
“Heh heh… In the distant past, this place has been robbed by pirates.”
“huh? Are you talking about that river? No matter how wide it looks, there is no chin to pass by wealth.”
Furthermore, there was an arched bridge-cum-wall at the mouth of the river.
