Episode 593. Give me my boat (2)
“I know that strange winds have been blowing among the high-ranking nobles of the Kingdom of Felsen lately. With Duke Hummel at the forefront.”
“The Viscount must have come too?”
“Of course I came. Of course, I took care of things.”
Are you still willing to help me?
“Are you going to help anyway?”
“The world will not know who I received what from. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.”
“… … Pretty bold.”
What I mean is that you just have to wipe your mouth.
He was talking quite absurd, but he burst out laughing and then straightened up.
“And I don’t think it would benefit us if they won.”
“You want us to take care and win the victory?”
“Even if the Kingdom of Ernesia loses, there will be nothing to lose after that.”
He is thinking of walking a tightrope.
The Felsen kingdom’s current actions are also questionable, so it is to help me in case of an emergency.
Even after the kingdom was defeated, I thought that if I did that, I would take good care of the situation.
“Or are you offended?”
“No, actually, I quite like someone like the Viscount.”
These are not empty words.
A wise man is always welcome.
“You’re joking too much.”
“Whether it’s a joke or a joke, it doesn’t matter. so? What kind of help would he give us if he summoned it so boldly? Can I look forward to it?”
Well, I can roughly guess the extent to which he can help.
You can’t explicitly intervene.
If we succeed, he too will be caught off guard until the situation is settled.
So I won’t do anything to get my tail caught.
At best, it’ll help us crawl into the port city without a hitch.
“Assistance is only a little bit of guidance.”
Viscount Gernil said so and pointed towards the cave behind him.
“Is that the way the cave will guide you?”
“If you follow this inside, you will be able to get inside the port city.”
“A secret passage… …
It’s quite an anachronistic passage, but considering the time when the port city was built, it’s possible.
And even to me, Viscount Gernil isn’t telling lies right now.
“Doesn’t anyone else know about that passage?”
“The ones encamped in the city right now are not our soldiers.”
“That means you don’t know.”
Outsiders do not know, and the Viscount also did not share information about this passage 1? U:
? =
“This is all I can do. There was an accident where someone came in and recaptured the boat by a road I did not know. Is it enough?”
“hmm. Well, that’s enough.”
It’s an assistant in the range that was fully expected, and it’s perfect.
If I can go into hiding, then it’s up to me.
‘By the way, there are a lot of friends who strangely tell me the byway these days.’
Will my popularity see the light?
Yes, it’s something to live honestly and see.
“However, after passing through this passage, I cannot guarantee it.”
I know what he’s worried about
You are free to enter, but what will you do after that?
After recapturing the ship? What are you going to do after that?
You ask.
“I know. Recapture is always up to us. I know you don’t have to worry about that.”
I expressed my gratitude and confidently declared.
“That much is easy for us.”
It’s just like holding a spoon.
It’s a problem that it’s five thousand-ton spoons, but there’s no problem.
If so, I won’t stop you. After going through the secret passage that Viscount Gernil gave us, we were finally able to safely enter the port city.
Connected to this passage is a large warehouse in the port.
After opening the secret door blocked by luggage, a welcome salty and rotten fishy smell greets us.
“… … So Arell? Is it really that simple?”
“… … It might be simple if you guys work hard.”
“It’s not that simple.”
The ones who don’t put any effort into it are all of you who are working hard instead of me.
I believe you. I believe you will work hard to get it back.
So run hard.
“… … Oh, I knew that.”
Seina let out a long sigh, saying that she knew that now.
“Then, what will Arel-nim do? Would you like to wait here?”
“No way. After all, isn’t the goal for all of us to get to the ship?”
You should already know what we are going to do because we have told everyone well.
then that’s one
I stretched out my arms towards Seina.
“Won’t you take me?”
Because he is a self-proclaimed weak lord who can only run 100 meters in 20 seconds in front of everyone.
I will stick with the concept until the end.
At least until the world ends.
“… … I wonder if it was necessary to dry it after all.”
Seina smiled bitterly and picked me up.
Don’t worry. I am lighter than I look and she is strong.
no… … There is no law saying that a man should not listen to a woman hugging him.
So, I hope you don’t think of me as rude.
Actually, I’m pretty satisfied.
* * *
To sum up what happened after that, Seina, who was holding me and running, ran all over the port with all her might and headed for the ship.
And the soldiers who were surprised to see us were handled skillfully by the mercenary villagers.
Most of the people guarding these places are ordinary soldiers.
Most of the people who were able to make it difficult would have been recruited into the unit to attack Ernesia Kingdom.
Most of all, they didn’t expect that the enemy would suddenly come out of the warehouse, so they were more lethargic than they thought.
The soldiers were ambushed by our mercenaries and subdued.
I clicked my tongue as I watched the soldiers quickly dumped into the sea.
“It’s pitiful. tsk tsk… … Well, it’s pathetic, so I have to say thank you.”
While being hugged by Seina, I called them pathetic and pathetic.
“Is that what you’re going to say while holding me?”
“of course!”
I am OK. Hiding power is always my concept.
That’s how we were able to enter the inside of the iron wire without much trouble.
“… … Well, it looks better than expected.”
The five iron wires seized here were all seemingly fine on the outside.
I didn’t think it would have been sunk hastily, but I guessed that one place might not have been damaged, but the condition of the iron wire is fine except for the cargo being stolen.
Could it be that those idiots from Felsen Kingdom really thought to use this ship for themselves?
I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart because their greed is as I expected.
About the same time he was taking a rough look at the ship’s condition, Avenna came and talked about the current situation.
For some reason, he tossed the soldier whose neck had turned 340 degrees with one hand while explaining the situation.
“The seizure of the ship has just been completed, but… … After this… …
Occupying the ship was a success, but I guess you want to say that the next problem is.
Now, the soldiers who heard the commotion are coming from outside.
It’s very difficult to break through.
The most desirable thing is that the sea is empty, so we can move the boat and leave.
Currently there are no sailors here.
Ovulation is not something that beginners can move recklessly.
“don’t worry. If it went according to plan, all we had to do was get here. Hurry up and install the one you brought.”
Under my direction, the mercenaries set up the separately brought tools on the deck of the ship.
“This…
“It’s nothing. signal flare.”
It’s a simple light flare.
Soon, flares were fired upwards, radiating a deep blue light in the air.
Even in the daytime, it is clearly visible from a distance.
And soon, a unique reaction to teleport was felt, and a number of wizards poured out.
It was the Territory Wizards who had been lurking outside the city beforehand, and Dia.
“… … It looks like you’ve arrived. Thank you for your effort We will take over the rest.”
“Whew… … I wish you well.”
Everyone breathes a sigh of relief when the wizards successfully arrive.
This is the original plan.
In order to move the ship, the wizard’s ability is required, but of course the enemy is also prepared.
If you infiltrate by teleport, you will be caught because of the unique mana wave.
Therefore, even if it is cumbersome, the agile mercenaries have no choice but to call the wizards after quietly and quickly occupying the target and securing safety.
“Okay then Dia. Will you move the boat as scheduled?”
“Yes, it is simple.”
There are as many as five ships weighing thousands of tons, but teleportation devices for extra-large mass transport have already been developed, so you can use them.
Because teleport is great.
The iron ship carrying us was able to leave this port safely.
before the scenery changes.
The faces of the soldiers who looked at us like dogs chasing chickens were truly worth seeing.
This boat will take it back again.
Because it was mine from the beginning.
In the first place, there’s no law to get on a boat and escape to the sea, right? yes?
The landscape changed to a familiar world of pure white snow.
It is moved to a pre-determined point.
Our current destination is the plains outside the city of Pahilia.
There is enough space to stand a few iron wires.
Aken and other dwarves and technicians are already waiting here.
They immediately went to work inspecting the ship.
“… … Can’t we move to the workshop right away?”
Archen frowned and asked.
As time is running out, you want to hurry as much as possible.
But I did not relinquish the order to look closely.
Because it all needs to be.
“just in case. We moved to the plains in preparation for an accident.”
“It certainly needs to be.”
Aken soon understood.
Blowing it straight into the workshop would be an unwise decision.
Perhaps the kingdom of Felsen or the people behind it did something wrong.
I searched once, but I need to investigate once more.
After checking again to see if there are any hidden spies and any suspicious devices, it will be sent to the workshop only after determining that there is no problem.
“Actually, this was found through a crack in the deck.”
Dia came out quietly and held out something.
It is an object in the shape of an elongated cylinder.
“wow! Is it a bomb?”
It was like a bomb in which the magic formula engraved inside the barrel emitted flames and exploded.
They know what a bomb is.
Seina hated seeing the dangerous goods that Dia brought.
“… … no. If you put it out calmly, what will you do dangerously?”
“it’s okay. It was immediately invalidated upon discovery. At least it won’t explode when I have it in my hand.”
As if to prove safety, Dia whirled the bomb in her hand and turned it on top of her hand.
I’m feeling these days, but strangely, the playfulness has increased.
Let Dia blow the bomb up and cancel the nullification spell.
Bang! It exploded.
However, seeing that no sound was heard, it seemed that a silence spell had been applied.
You won’t see it in the city.
Dia handles the bomb the same way over and over again.
I was strangely excited more than that.
“… … Isn’t it a pretty fireworks display?”
“If you don’t think it’s a bomb planted on my ship.”
It was good to look after too.
If I hadn’t warned the wizards, including her, in advance, it would have exploded upon recapture.
“Anyway, after you finish your investigation in earnest, move on and start working.”
“… … Um, do you really intend to use this as a warship?”
Aken, who had been called, cleared his throat and asked again.
I understand you don’t like it.
But it is necessary.
“I can’t help it. I need it to fight them. you know?”
“It is true. hmm. ok let me do that.”
“How long will the operation take?”
“It won’t take long. The necessary things are already prepared… …
