117. Snoring Dwarf
The subjugation team, who took a day off while receiving the lord’s hospitality, immediately entered the canyon.
Because it was one of the continent’s many bans, the party was nervous and the monsters began to welcome visitors one by one.
wow-
stop it!
Unfold the shield!
It’s poison!
I couldn’t say it was easy, even with empty words. However, the number of monsters was small in Berge’s view.
‘Compared to that time, it has decreased considerably.’
There was a difference compared to when I came to catch the Bileaf.
Berge knew that was a sign that things were going according to plan.
‘You’re doing great.’
According to Berge’s advice, some monsters in the canyon were gathered and turned into undead.
As the number of undead increases, the Magi will be dispersed and the quality will drop, but it was better than the meaningless defeat of the monsters spread throughout the canyon.
‘By the way, what did you want to prepare?’
The 3rd Prince listened to Hillen Cargill’s advice and prepared something. However, until the day came and the moment we entered the canyon, we didn’t see anything special.
‘Is it a last resort?’
Either way, you just need to be successful. There was also quite a bit of fun to look forward to.
Since it was on the way to subjugating the Warlock, the atmosphere might loosen up a bit, but the tension itself did not go away.
However, the fact that Berge was annoyed with him was annoyed.
Tristar Jespine.
From the moment he first saw him, he had a reverence for Hillen Cargill, and from the moment he entered the canyon he clinged to his side and chattered.
“Dr. Hillen, I wish I could tell you a little more about the Tower of the Beast.”
“The Tower of the Beast was like a jungle or rain forest. Some layers were wet and swampy and some layers of dense forest greeted us.”
“I wish I could see it in person. Why am I not a hero, it’s really sad. Oh, were the monsters also beasts?”
“of course.”
“How was the moment you defeated the Demon King?”
“The Demon King of the Beasts was a cunning person. Using what we know their rules, we left only a minimum of monsters on the lower floors of the tower and gathered all our power at the top.”
“Oh my God, so?”
“I lost.”
“···yes?”
“We lost half of our power and managed to escape. The wounds I received from the demon king at that time are still engraved on my body.”
Trista closed her eyes.
“…But hasn’t the tower of the beast collapsed?”
“I knocked it down on the second challenge.”
“Oh, I remember. Akan’s group Martial Arts …, no, the Kingdom Army moved to make the second heroic act in an instant.”
“Yeah, good timing. The Demon King’s Tower cannot be restored immediately. Although the first heroic journey was unsuccessful, it inflicted a heavy blow…”
Trista, who was trying to curse Akan, saw Roselle’s gaze and changed her words. Hillen continued, and Roselle snorted, avoiding the prince’s gaze.
“Whoever sees it will know that that kid did it all. I failed because of someone.”
“It wasn’t Hillen’s fault.”
“Are you on the same side?”
“I will tell you the truth.”
Hillen was right. If he had held up a little bit better against Draxon, he wouldn’t have failed so disastrously.
But what? I hated seeing Roselle Charter more arrogant than telling the truth.
“stop.”
That was then.
The lead stopped. The flag went up.
“what?”
“What is in front of you?”
The murmur grew louder. In front of me, something stood in the way of the canyon.
it was a knight
It was the knights.
There were over a hundred troops.
However, there was no sign of the family that should have been for a knight. intentionally deleted.
“·················ogue.”
The third prince swallowed a moan.
It wasn’t just them. Hundreds of soldiers were blocking the path of the canyon, including the Knights Templar behind them.
They were all wearing clothes other than the imperial attire, and all had their faces covered.
“Who are you like?”
“I do not know. To be honest, all three other royal families are on the dragon’s line.”
The first prince, the second prince, and the first princess were people who could do this.
“If it’s too late, you go. The 3rd Prince must make the biggest contribution. There is no time to delay here.”
“Their level is not formidable.”
“Are you saying you’re weak even if you feed two demon kings?”
“I ate one on my own, but…”
“There’s no way you could have eaten it on your own. Who did you sacrifice?”
“·················ogue.”
Even when Berge and Hillen whispered and chatted, the army of the third prince did not stop.
As the distance drew closer, the knights built a wall of shields. The archers pointed their bows.
“Who are you?”
The 3rd Prince stopped his troops. A knight came out with a visor covering his face completely from the other side.
“Nice to meet you, my lord.”
“It’s the first time. It’s my first time since I’ve even altered my voice. Do you not know how disrespectful it is to hide your face in front of the royal family?”
“I ask for your understanding that this is inevitable due to circumstances.”
“I understand. So stay away.”
“We ask for your understanding that due to circumstances, we will not be able to fulfill that as well.”
The third prince glared at him. The knight calmly spread his fingers.
“I have no intention of harming Your Majesty. just three days. I want you to be here with us for three days.”
“Do you mean that you don’t subjugate me?”
“I just want you to relax.”
it was dog shit
The canyon is large and wide. The forks extending in all directions are quite complicated.
But gathering here was not common.
They were the imperial family of the empire, the loyalists who followed them, and the elites of each family. For them, three days was more than enough to make a big difference from the latecomers.
“Do you think I will obey?”
“Then you have to stop your Majesty so that I can respond.”
“It is treason to attack the imperial family. Also, since this is a matter of obeying the orders of His Majesty the Great Emperor, it is not enough to destroy the Gu family.”
“There are only monsters here.”
“Who are you?”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Is it the first older brother or the second older brother? Or who?”
“I still don’t know.”
“Take off that helmet yourself and check it out.”
“I hope you don’t. Isn’t it a good thing for each other?”
“That remains to be seen.”

Martin turned and returned to his camp. A meeting was called immediately.“Who do you think is the owner?”
“For mercenaries, they are extraordinary. They are well-trained regulars.”
“If it is, it must be the first older brother or the older sister.”

Martin frowned. It would have been better if it was the 2nd prince. When he did something, he liked to use mercenaries rather than go out on his own.And it wasn’t that he was demeaning the mercenaries, but it was true that he was relatively easy to deal with compared to the army of the nobles.
“Is there another way?”
“I could turn around, but I would be very late.”
“External commander.”
It blocked the path very nicely. All that was left was whether to break through or wasted three days without moving.
“You should definitely know who they are…”
“Probably one of the Knights of the Lions.”
The lion was the symbol of the Osrian duke. And the White Lion, Black Lion, and Red Lion Knights, who took the lion as a symbol, were the symbols of the dukes.
“What is the reason?”
“I cannot fathom the end of that article in which I spoke with Your Majesty.”
Everyone groaned at Baron Bayleaf’s words.
After all, the only reason left behind is the Knights of the Lions to be superior to the Baron who commands the best knights of the Marquis Eincheil.
“You still have to go through it.”
Hillen raised her hand and spoke.
“To throw away three days like this means to give up the competition.”
“How did you deal with the damage?”
“It’s a warlock subjugation. The damage is, of course, inevitable.”
“Something like a warlock…”
“Baron Otto. This subjugation is by no means a warlock ‘like’. If it were, I would have wiped it all by myself. I didn’t even have to tell you.”
“…awesome.”
“That’s right.”
Roselle Charter nodded in agreement. The baron’s face wrinkled even more.
“The Hillen Ball.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Can you beat that knight?”
“I am Hillen Cargill.”
“I believe it.”
“I believed in you like that, but I was ruined. right?”
Roselle laughed softly and whispered. Fortunately, no one but Hillen heard.
“Please take your seat into consideration.”
“of course. I don’t like those kids either. Dare to block someone?”
She shouted at Martin.
“The Third Prince? If you wish, I will melt them all with my flame.”
“Thank you.”

Martin thought for a moment. And soon a nobleman was called.“Baron Cromwell.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“I’m going to write what I prepared.”
“majesty?”
Baron Cromwell’s eyes widened.
“Isn’t that what you prepared to deal with the undead?”
Read at noblemtl.com
Martin had Baron Cromwell secretly prepared just in case.“There are two types of demons, Hillen and Roselle. It would be better to entrust the warrior to the undead and the warlock rather than the human. If we lose our strength against them, there is no damage as great as that.”
“···Yes. I take orders.”
“Sir, what have you prepared?”
Hillen asked Trista, whom he was somewhat familiar with. Trista smiled.
“You will see it. I want to see them panic as soon as possible.”
The soldiers of the 3rd Prince’s camp began to move busily.
* * *
“···Oh My God. I didn’t expect to see that until here.”
Berge was purely admiring.
“Isn’t that what Fail-sama intended?”
“It has absolutely nothing to do with it. And in the beginning, I had no reaction at all. I’m not crazy about that.”
“It is, indeed.”
Granada nodded.
The 3rd Prince put the knights in the front row, obscured the opponent’s view, and pulled out a bunch of things from behind.
it was a cannon A magic cannon that fires magic bullets that have been processed into magic. That was the back door.
“How is it? Hillen Ball. If it is the Hundred Moon’s magic cannon, it will be able to wipe out their ranks.”
“Surely it is, my lord, why are you using a magic cannon?”
“It was prepared by my brother after receiving the advice of the public. It’s one of the surest ways to deal with the undead, isn’t it?”
“It is.”
There are three surest ways to deal with the undead.
Or erase the magic itself with dimensional interference.
or burn them all with fire.
Destroy them without a trace to prevent them from coming back to life.
In that sense, the magic cannon was more than anything, it was a device that could surely erase the undead.
A huge explosion burns everything and at the same time smashes it to pieces that can’t be retrieved.
Unfortunately, this time, the target was not the undead, which was the original target, but the same empire.
Hillen rushed to Martin’s side.
“Are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“They must be the Knights of the Dukes.”
“You take all my worries away.”
“Your Majesty must be fine, so why don’t you catch the Demon King of Erzest?”
“right. Then you can save Kaede too.”

Martin chuckled.“It’s okay. Because they are thieves who can’t even reveal their own family. At the same time, a traitor who wants to assassinate the royal family. Even if I die, I have nowhere to complain.”
At the point of hiding their identity, no one will question their death.
“Because your brother isn’t that clumsy.”
“Anyway, there is a good thing. Isn’t it the same empire?”
No matter how much the emperor’s acquiescence was, this went beyond the limit. Everyone will think so.
“Years ago, I went on a monster slaying in Arcaz. Even then, my brothers and my sister were together.”
The reason was the same this time. Noblesse Oblige. Of course it was competition.
“How do you think it would be?”
“The subjugation was successful.”
“The subjugation was successful. But I lost more than half of the Marquis’ troops who helped me. No one else, but my older brother’s handiwork.”
I couldn’t do anything like that. All the balls were taken by the three, and so was the reputation.
That was the decisive moment when the third prince began to fall behind.
“I also knew I had to keep the good. It’s the same empire.”
But it wasn’t. The emperor was alone with the royal family who had returned from his mission. And he laughed at Martin.
“He said he lacked willpower, and he said he was an idiot who couldn’t work harder.”
At first, I thought it was because I simply couldn’t set the ball like a ball. It wasn’t.
“I later understood what it meant. His Majesty was keeping the nobles in check with the pretext of succession to the throne.”
“·················ogue.”
The swear word ‘crazy’ barely stopped in front of his mouth.
“As in all countries, there has always been a power struggle between emperors and nobles in empires.”
“···Even though.”
“We must not forget that His Majesty is the one who killed all his brothers and sisters and took his place. That’s why you’re more wary of the power of your subjects than anyone else.”
“Isn’t the nobles just sitting still?”
“I thought so too, but seeing that there have been no problems so far, I think we may have found a compromise of our own.”
Exactly, only you know.
“Ugh.”
Hillen swallowed the saliva. To keep their subjects in check, watching their children stalk each other’s lives, the nobles are accepting it again.
‘Isn’t this a crazy country?’
How did it become an empire and maintain its current strength and power?
“Anyway, I’m going to get back to the point and smash the battle lines with my magic cannons, then charge and wipe them out all at once. Wouldn’t that be a big deal to you?”
“···of course.”
“Please.”
“I will surely meet your expectations.”
Hillen held the sword sternly.
* * *
The leader of the Knights of the White Lion, Calum, looked at the third prince’s camp calmly.
Those who were busy moving did not seem to back down easily.
“Prepare for battle.”
“Are they going to attack?”
“If you were the third prince, would you back down?”
“It won’t.”
Even if not, Milli was the third prince compared to other members of the royal family. If nothing was achieved here, there was a high possibility that even the remaining interest of the emperor would disappear.
Whether it was soup or bread, the third prince had to pierce them. And their mission is to delay the time somehow no matter how the 3rd Prince reacts.
“There is the Knights of the White Hawk and the Order of the Blue Hawk Wizard, and Helen Cargill and Roselle Chartres.”
“There is no chance of a head-to-head match.”
White hawk and blue hawk. The history of the Marquis Eincheil was not intimidating. However, the two warriors and their raid could never be vigilant.
In particular, Roselle Charter’s wide-area fire magic had a good reputation, and Hillen Cargill, who killed the two demon kings, had no idea where the end would be.
“I’ll take Hillen Cargill. If they charge in, defend appropriately and then retreat. Don’t forget that the goal is to take the time anyway.”
“Yes.”
Calum felt his hands tingle. He was a born knight, and the battle with the strong always made his heart race.
‘There are few heroes in history who killed the two demon kings. If not at a time like this, when are you going to fight someone like that?’
He slowly drew his sword and looked at their formation again.
That was the moment.
“It moves.”
“Prepare.”
I thought that the charge of the knights would begin.
But they didn’t charge. The leading knights and soldiers widened the gap, and something huge appeared between them.
“···crazy.”
“Oh My God.”
It was a gun barrel. It was a huge cannon.
“…a guess who we are and wipe it out with a magic cannon?”
Countless cannons were pushing their guns toward the White Lion Knights and the Duchess.
This was the sound of the very end. It didn’t match the usual gentle behavior of the 3rd Prince.
But there was no time to think deeply.
“Wizards! Open your shield right now! Retreat immediately!”
Callum exclaimed urgently. But before his cry reached everyone.
bang bang-
The cannon opened the door. The magic cannons blew fire.
“Martin, you crazy bird…!”
A rain of shells fell on the duke’s privates.

Magic cannons are the product of magic engineering.It uses mana stones as power to ignite it, and fires a cannonball gathered with magical power.
A magic cannon that adds one more acceleration of firing and bursts the condensed mana is an item that cannot ignore its destructive power.
However, the reason it is not used well is because its effectiveness decreases.
A magic cannon is a heavenly weapon, but it was the dwarfs with excellent dexterity who first developed the magic cannon.
Their smelting, metallurgy, and the way they engraved magic circuits far surpassed humans and dared not surpass them.
The magic cannons created by such dwarves may be a common and common weapon to them, but to humans, they were bombs that could explode and harpoon their allies.
Such a magic cannon was a hundred gates.
The muzzle of the white gate spit out flames at the enemies all at once.
bang bang-
A bang is heard.
The ground turned over.
The horses screamed.
The soldiers were shattered, leaving no corpses behind.
Listening to the symphony of brutal destruction, Berge made a brief comment.
“Compared to what the logger made, it’s far short of that.”
The reload speed, the destructive power, and the bullet speed are everything.
“Yeah, Logger is one of the best craftsmen in the Dwarven Kingdom.”
Granada corrected his thinking.
“Is that so?”
“It’s like that.”
That was then.
quaw-
Aww-
live!
Another bang was heard. It wasn’t the enemy. It was a friendly camp, and it was the screams of the soldiers who were firing magic cannons.
The magic cannon could not withstand the impact of the fire and exploded.
“Oh my gosh. You are branching out.”
Berger snorted.
“Still, isn’t that a bit harsh? There has never been anything like that ever made by a snub-nosed dwarf.”
“So that’s…”
Granada, who was going to continue explaining, sighed and gave up.
To be honest, even if he thinks about it, just looking at the logger in the tower is because he was just a crazy Dwarf 1.
