Moving Castle in Peru
As the morning dawned, the horrors of the previous day were revealed. The vast plain was full of traces of battle. Bloodstains, ashes, and pits dug terribly. The land where all the curves were carved was so hideous that it was pitiful.
However, even in the midst of this, the wild beasts were happily rummaging through the corpses.
Not only the mount, but also the weapons and tools on the corpse are all valuable assets. The monks who had fled to take possession of the legacy left by the dragon army and other monks flocked.
The wolves were full in the festival of dead bodies. The reason why new corpses didn’t pile up was probably thanks to the camp leader’s strict order.
“There! Properly bury the body you turned!”
A Seungnyang, who was about to leave the corpse behind and take his belongings, clicked his tongue.
“Sheesh, that’s tricky. He’s an afterthought anyway.”
“I will not tell you to be polite to the dead. At least be polite to your landlord!”
“Okay. Well, if you’re a water owner, it’s cheaper to dig a hole and bury it.”
While the seungnyang grumbled and buried the body, the captain sighed deeply and approached us.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. I wanted to collect the corpse before Peru left. If their corpses remain, the fleeing solvent unit might come to retrieve them.”
Of course, it’s not because of camaraderie. This is because the corpses of the solvent troops contain too many resources for the solvent troops to use. If it was a dragonfly unit with fast mobility, it could attack and run away with only wings and thrusters. They must have feared this possibility.
But…. I glanced at Hilde. Hilde noticed my gaze and smiled heartily.
“hehehe. Why, Father?”
“Nothing.”
Is that so? That human killed the placenta of the solvent unit? It’s also a method of stealing the face of a comrade and flying in the sky, assassinating one after another in the air. The reason why the dragonfly troops scattered and fled was not because they were ragtag, but because they couldn’t tell who was friend and foe.
What a terrifying ability. It’s creepy.
The regressor asked the camp leader.
“Jannokhoeju?”
“Stay at camp. You’re breaking the seal on the Juggernaut.”
“Still?”
“It will be over soon. Follow me.”
The leader left his men behind the scenes and headed for the camp.

Most of the wildcats were enjoying the big tree outside, so the camp was filled with a pleasant calm. It was so lively that it was hard to imagine that it was a land where hundreds of people died.
It’s not that strange. Nations are wandering lands. It is extremely rare for seungnyang to meet again after parting. For them, death means separation.
The leader said as he passed between those who were taking care of their wealth.
“It has already been revealed, so I will tell you. Peru is the master of green tea. However, he does not build any special forces and goes alone.”
“It means loner. It seemed a little like that.”
“… It’s not wrong. There are many difficulties in raising money with his ability.”
The leader, who spoke the uncomfortable truth, added as if to make an excuse.
“On the other hand, if you think about it the other way around, it’s difficult to find a hoeju that is as safe as that one. Take a look at the heat blast lord Rocket. He and his men are blowing money. Whether you use it or not, you always hunt for others. In contrast, Peru is not very interested in money.”
“Even if I collect them, they will disappear because of their abilities someday?”
“… I don’t know about that because I entered Peru’s mind and never came out. Anyway, Peru-sama is a gentle person who doesn’t like to fight.”
The leader, who secretly glared at me, turned his head and looked to one side.
“You will not be welcomed, but you will have no reason to be hostile. Please take good care of me.”
“Yes, Father. Do not worry. We will take good care of it.”
“… Hey, is this person really this noisy?”
The impatient leader asked the regressor. Then the regressor asked me.
“What are you complaining about?”
“That person is spinning around. Instead of pretending to be polite, I tried to stimulate them to express their true feelings.”
“Yes.”
“… That’s it. I didn’t say anything.”
The leader shook his head and started walking. So we gradually headed deeper into the camp.
“We are here. Over there.”
Peru was standing in front of a furnace that was billowing with white smoke. The sight of throwing broken metal into the furnace looked somewhat lonely. The captain called Peru.
“Peru. They came.”
Peru heard the captain’s voice and turned his head. Peru, who confirmed our appearance, looked back at the furnace and said.
“… For a moment. It’s still there.”
“Okay. I have work to do, so I’ll go first. Be safe.”
“… Thank you.”
The leader bowed his head and walked away. After that came silence. The regressor asked in frustration at the sight of Peru throwing metal without saying anything.
“There’s something left, but you keep putting it in?”
“… Menstruum.”
“Solvent? Animal?”
“… No. Rocket’s weapon.”
There is only one weapon for Rocket. His juggernaut, the Solvent. As soon as he realized that, the regressor was shocked and asked.
“Juggernaut? There’s a Juggernaut in that furnace?”
“… Huh.”
“I heard that the only person who can alchemize it is the Golden Sutra. What are you?”
“… Pension, no. I can only disassemble.”
Peru shook her head and threw the last piece into the furnace. The furnace that swallowed the prey trembled as if it would explode at any moment.
“… Thermal bombing tried to self-destruct with Juggernaut. If I did, the precious Juggernaut would be gone. So i blocked it I had no intention of saving you.”
“Huh. You won’t die just because you exploded it?”
“… It doesn’t matter.”
Peru shook her head and turned the lever on the furnace. The furnace lid closed at an angle, and a rough boat horn could be heard through the gap. Between them, Peru’s low voice was heard.
“… When war breaks out, when rubble piles up. Nations grow rich. But a lot will die. The wildcats and the soldiers of the military.”
“Hmm? Well~ I don’t think the military is particularly likely to lose to the nations.”
“… It doesn’t matter either.”
It seems that neither the regressor nor Hilde understood the language of Peru.
Since the values are different, the focus is slightly off. Both the regressor and Hilde are discussing the outcome of the battle, but Peru doesn’t care about that. It doesn’t matter ‘which side you’re on’ to her values as she is an alchemist.
“What matters to you is not winning or losing, but total value, right? Are you reluctant to suffer losses in battles or wars?”
“… Huh.”
“It’s an alchemist’s mind. It is a bit unexpected that the entire value of the country is on one side of the scale.”
“… Not my scale Because it is the scale of the golden mirror.”
Finally, Peru performed its unique magic. I was frightened and tried to pull myself away, but fortunately this time the unique magic didn’t reach me. Peru’s power to disintegrate matter only worked inside the furnace.
With the combined power of Peru, the furnace really heats up.

Most furnaces are powered by magic. Before alchemy appeared, it was said to melt metal by making a big fire, but after the development of alchemy and white magic, that method was abandoned. He would alchemize metal with magical power itself, or if that was difficult, he would process it by generating flames with magical power.
However, the Juggernaut bestowed by the Golden Temple heats the furnace with Peru’s unique magic. Unique Mado is to impose one’s own rules on the world. Most of the cases are not compatible with anything because they are unique… The Golden Journey’s Juggernaut is a mystery beyond unique magic.
Power and heat escape from the steel collapsed by the unique magic. It is condensed even more as it is confined to the metal of the golden mirror. Then, the moment it crosses a certain critical point, it flows all over the Juggernaut on a complex mechanism.
Then the furnace began to rattle.
The stern surged through the mound of dirt. A giant caterpillar climbs against the pouring dirt and sand. Swimming in the sea of sand and dirt, the Juggernaut hidden in it appeared.
The furnace was just one part of this juggernaut. It was several times larger than that, including the part buried in the soil. With its streamlined tracks, the Juggernaut looked like a huge ship with a furnace as its horn.
The Juggernaut landed bluntly on the ground. Unfortunately, the fence in front of it was broken, but no one had time to care. In front of a huge vehicle with wheels over 3m tall, the fence was not even a stone beak.
“… So, I hope you don’t fight.”
Peru walked up on it. Peru, who looked back in front of the stairs, looked back.
“… Get on. I will guide you.”
There is no reason to refuse. We nodded our heads, and without a word, got on the Juggernaut….
In the meantime, Hilde asked as if she had suddenly remembered.
“Wait a minute. What about ‘our’ Cataphract?”
“This looks much better, shall we?”
“What are you talking about! The Military Cataphract is the most technological and superior all-weather mount! It is the essence of military technology that is more economical and quiet than a needlessly large Juggernaut, and can be used universally by ordinary soldiers!”
“I’m sorry, Hilde. But more than once riding the Juggernaut… I’m not satisfied with such an insignificant mount.”
“This can’t happen! Men know that big and grand is the best! You mustn’t throw away Jo Kang-ji’s wife!”
“Before Cataphracts, there were Aji dog sleds. After all, that was the first mount I ever made.”
“Bung! Never again! It’s hard!”
Aji shook his head as if he was fed up. Rather than saying that dog sledding is hard, it probably means that it’s hard to care about my safety hanging behind it. It will be difficult to ride dog sledding in the future.
At that time, Peru, who had been listening to the story, pointed to the deck and said.
“… Bring it I have room to put it.”
“I don’t like that proposal for some reason! It’s like Juggernaut boasts that it’s so great that it can carry ‘my’ Cataphract!”
“Until Hilde said it herself, it must have been a proposal with pure intentions.”
“That’s why I hate it even more! You should at least brag!”
Why are you complaining so much? Do you hate being compared by nations? Uhh, in fact, it’s clear that he loves the military more than anyone else.
Uh, wait.
“Wait a minute, Hilde. Rather, where did you put the Cataphract?”
“Yeah, outside the fence…. What.”
Hilde looked down. I saw something familiar under the trampled fence. The familiar mechanical device that was horribly broken and bounced off, too.
Acquire 1 military defeat.
Um what’s you saaaay…
