Now no one is tying these workers up. It is the rules or fears created by the military that bind them together. In other words, it doesn't really exist.
“We are. They're breaking into the military headquarters. You mean we had to destroy the military's assets while at the same time locking the military's feet?”
I walked slowly and tapped the nearest wagon in the hangar.
“If you don’t run away with your wagon, you have no choice but to destroy these precious wagons that you have worked so hard to build, right?”
A feeling of embarrassment spread. It's the attitude that has nothing to do with you breaking the wagon. It is a positive reaction.
The bar of the mind is not one. Rather, it is closer to an iron castle with dozens of gates. Even if one door is locked tightly, all of them can be escaped by gently opening the back door. It doesn't matter, it means that this is an unbarred door.
“I say it differently. If you want to preserve your wagon, just ride it and move it to a safe place. If not, like this.”
Exactly, the moment I popped my finger, the car's body was terribly dented.
“Ahhhhh!”
Someone's scream rang out. It was that terrible. Darkness wrapped around the chariot like a snake, and gradually tightened and pierced its sharp fangs.
Broken gears are scattered like guts. It seemed to return to the days when alchemy steel was an ingot.
“I mean, I had to break it down. I am a worker just like you, so I want to reduce my work as much as possible.”
Of course I didn't do it. I just borrowed Tyr's power for a while. But in their eyes it must have seemed like I was dealing with this darkness.
“You are too much! A car that was painstakingly built!”
“Are there any good people here who will save me from the trouble of destroying all of this?”
I grabbed my hand and waved it, and Tyr, who saw it, followed the same action with darkness. The carriage swayed back and forth, vomiting parts more violently.
“Or am I going to do the irrational labor of breaking things down and you guys getting better parts and making new ones, one to break and the other to fix?”
They cannot escape. Because the military has tied their hearts. He instilled fear and fear in them, saying that if they voluntarily leave their place of work, they will be punished more severely.
So, the backdoor that I create is not a departure from work.
reducing work.
“ruler! We form a union! They're laborers who don't want to work with each other! I won't break it, you guys won't make it, so we compromise! Move the wagon to a safe place! As we came to the north, some of the bases were completely destroyed, so the place must be empty! I can park there for a while!”
Someone with a furoshiki on their head was the first to get up and run towards the carriage. Rumbling, she was the first to get into her wagon and spin her thunder wheel, and the wagon began to move with a rattling sound.
“… I can’t let it break.”
“okay. If I had to make it again. rather… .”
The first time is difficult, but once the water bursts, the rest flows naturally. The workers, who looked at each other, nodded their heads coldly and got up. They sent their hearts out through the backdoor I had prepared.
Following the mind, the body also went out. Because the chains that bound them only bound their hearts.
“uh? what?”
rumble rumble.
It was quite a sight for the laborers to see so many wagons escaping into the darkness.
It is not large enough to cause the country to stumble, but it will be a loss that is difficult to ignore even from the military's point of view. The fact that he had stolen the taxes of the military was filled with pride.
The returnee, who just returned from destroying the factory, widened his eyes when he saw the hangar where people were leaving.
“What car was there?”
I said, banging the last remaining one.
“it's okay. I've left the last one here. It’s the best.”
“Who are the workers? When the factory burns down, they act like they're on fire. Did you escape?”
“Escape! sound to be honoured. They just participated in the active evacuation to protect the military vehicle, which is the property of the military.”
“what. It’s the same thing.”
“It’s different.”
I left the back door open, but the chain is still there. Some laborers will run away, enjoying the freedom they have regained in the blink of an eye, while others may hang out nearby without leaving the headquarters.
Rather, it is more dangerous. to themselves and to the military.
“From the military point of view, I would hate a guy who wanders around for nothing rather than a worker who runs away altogether. It will cause even greater chaos in the military because they have little desire to run away!”
The image of us riding in a horse-drawn carriage until now will remain in our minds. You can't help but be sensitive to each and every car. I'll grab everything to check the contents.
Allergy operation against the so-called military.
'Are you saying you used so many people as bait? Knowing what will happen to the workers who escaped at will… .'
Should I even care about that? That's the case over there.
They are the ones who decided, and it is the military that is tormenting them. I have no idea why I should feel responsible for intervening in my relationship.
The returner murmured as he looked at the back of the departing wagon.
“you… It’s pretty ruthless.”
“no. They want to cut down on the military's power. You did the job successfully, so why are you scolding me?”
“It’s not really a tree.”
“It’s not a criticism, it’s a compliment! If you did a job properly, you would say, 'Well done.' I, 'Thank you.' It’s only natural to say!”
People with poor sociability know that if they say something out of their mouth, they may even develop an allergy. The returner was just that. The type who shy away from social activities, including compliments.
“What a surprise… .”
“Wow, the use of people is no different from the military.”
When I shed a word like a grumbling, the returner was furious.
“It is not! Anyway, I'm not as good as the military! Praise, I can't do it!”
“Come on, where are you going? As it is a bow-down temple, you will have to be more careful.”
“Cheet… .”
The zealous returnee looked at me and spit out.
“It’s pretty good. Well done.”
“Not enough.”
“… To be honest, you said you did well. What more do you need?”
“Oh, it was nice to just have some sincerity.”
“No, this was meant to compliment you… . Eight, it's ok. Yes, you are good.”
It was around the time the returner gave him a pint cup.
Someone stuck their head out of the first carriage. It was a princess who covered her hair with a furoshiki.
“Me, Huey? Is the play over?”
Oops. You haven't said it's over yet. I thought you'd notice it, but I guess you've been waiting inside.
I sent the princess an ok sign.
“yes! Princess, that was a good performance! Thanks for your efforts!”
“after. I'm glad it was helpful. I was very nervous because he suddenly asked me to act.”
The princess clenched her sweaty palms a few times and then spread them out, sweeping her chest.
To prevent hair from getting caught in the gears, workers often cut their hair short or wrap it with a cloth.
Thanks to this, the princess managed to fit her distinctive pale pink hair in the crowd without revealing it. She and using her ability to bring peace to her group, she was the first to carry her gun and run her into her chariot.
nothing If there is no wind, there is no business. Originally, my job was to open the plate where the tiger was caught.
“Tyr worked hard too! After all, it was an overwhelming, unfamiliar directing! She might be the best Grand Magician Girl of the year!”
[This is it. It is always fun to watch a play.]
Tyr, who was covering himself in darkness, smiled calmly. The returner noticed her truth and muttered.
“what. it was a riot What is the difference between you and the military?”
“It’s different! At least I'm not going to give a summary or send them to the inner 'lab' for not listening! My gift is freedom!”
How can you say such a rant? You see me like an army!
Leaving me running, the returner opened the door of the carriage. Inside her, her princess greeted her.
“Oh, the ball! You worked hard!”
“Princess too. You must have suffered a lot, but you worked hard.”
Why do you naturally only get compliments on princesses? Are you discriminating?
“Oh, no, no… ! This is the only thing that helps… !”
“no. It will be more helpful in the future.”
'The reason that the new kingdom, which was re-established after the fall of the military kingdom, kept its dynasty in the midst of the chaos was all thanks to the power of the princess. Heh, even me… Disillusioned, but not hostile. With that power, I can definitely use it better.'
At the remarks with a firm will, the princess, who seemed to have dropped her heart, clenched her furoshiki with both hands and avoided her gaze.
If that's the way it is, the compliments come in at a very timely manner. Princess, don't be fooled. It's really a thorny road.
This was the state where all the luggage had been loaded in the car that had been seen in advance. The preparations were finished with Historia and the Returner riding on it.
Up to now, all our movements were being captured by the military. But now that night has come and darkness has spread everywhere, we are faster than the military for this half-day.
That is exactly what Historia was aiming for. before start-up.
I'm afraid he's not a general from the military, the strategy is like the military.
“Leah. Where is your next destination?”
Historia, who got on last, gave the instructions.
“Alchemy steel smelter. It's a natural procedure. If the supply of alchemy steel is disrupted, the mid- to long-term supply plan will be disrupted.”
“Oh, that’s a good job. Is a general a general? What is the distance and direction?”
“early. 20 minutes northwest. In the first place, they were built close to each other in order to quickly supply materials for the wagon.”
Alchemy steel smelter, good. If there are a lot of alchemy materials there, I might be able to supplement the cards I wrote a little.
Meanwhile, the regressor who recalled the bad memories frowned.
“Alchemy River… .”
Alchemy Steel Smelter. A place where alchemy of minerals and alchemy substances is refined into steel, where the flesh of the military is formed. There are many factories that produce other products with alchemical steel, but this is the only one that produces alchemical steel.
Alchemy Kang is the lifeblood of the military. Therefore, if this place is destroyed, the military should fall in fear, not knowing when the stock of the Alchemy River will run out. From weapons to building materials to packets. A time-limited sentence is imposed on all resources that exist in the military.
However.
The returnee did not havetily nod his head. Because I knew what kind of place it was.
“It is… . Melting iron by killing people… .”
Historia affirmed the returner's answer.
“It is a place full of heinous criminals who can be killed right now.”
You need alchemy to make an alchemy steel. In order to use alchemy, knowledge of the structure as well as magical power is required.
And the easiest source of magic to make is a living human.
In other words.
The Alchemy Steel Smelter is a factory that squeezes a lot of people to produce Alchemy Steel.
It is a part of the 'inside' where the workers at the automobile assembly plant did not want to go even if they died.
“Are you smelting alchemy steel?”
The princess responded. She didn't know what an alchemy steel smelter was, but she knew it was important.
“There! That's where our collaborators are hiding! They will be waiting for us there!”
'It's your chance! Finally, maybe we can help too… !'
The princess spoke innocently, but some people, including me, who knew the reality of the place, did not readily answer that it went well. The princess' attitude was too bright to point out.
“Are you hiding? Level 5, in the innermost labor yard where only those arrested for committing irreparable crimes go?”
However, Historia, who didn't care much about the princess, shot him with a more cynical attitude. At her unexpected words, the princess looked like a rabbit and asked.
“yes?”
“It’s like a mouse infiltrating a cat house. It wasn't hidden, it was caught.”
