Episode 1346. What if we also have a new weapon that is just as good?
Eastern Peromuros.
Minos.
Lunch hour.
Heidi, the chalet manager and cook, said as she placed a plate of stew on the table.
“I don’t know why the number of street vendors has increased so much in the neighborhood these days.”
Elio asked back without thinking.
“Isn’t it good to have a lot of street vendors?”
“It’s good, but I feel uncomfortable because the number of outsiders is suddenly increasing. I wonder why people keep coming to this remote village saying they have something to sell… … .”
“Weren’t there any street vendors before?”
“There were street vendors… … . “It’s not like it’s going to double during the war, is it?”
“You’re saying it’s not the villagers selling their goods, but the outsiders?”
“That’s right. Seeing as they don’t have any family, it doesn’t seem like they are refugees. The items they sell are of good quality, wherever they come from. “It’s like a store, not a street vendor.”
“How amazing.”
“yes. There’s a lot going on, right? “If you’re going to take refuge, you should go to a big city. There’s something to eat in a small mountain village.”
“Big cities can turn into battlefields.”
“Oh, that’s it again. “So are they really people who came to escape the war?”
She tilted her head, checked that there was no food missing on the table, and then quietly left.
After a while, Elio finished eating and went out of the chalet.
On his way to the mountain, he turned around to see what the wind was blowing.
indeed! As Heidi said, street vendors were seen all over the streets.
Some of them were clearly destitute, but many were not.
The items sold were also different.
People with shabby appearance sold the animals they hunted and the fruits they gathered.
On the other hand, food ingredients such as flour and rice, various spices, and tanned leather were piled up in front of the cleanly dressed people.
It felt like I was seeing street vendors in Petropolis (an island) rather than a mountainous village.
‘Besides, they’re all young.’
Elio looked closely at the street vendors, wondering if anything was happening.
However, mana was not detected.
However, you should not trust it because only such people may have been selected.
He said, ‘How many people should I use the speech method for?’ He then shook his head.
Not only was it annoying, but I also felt like, ‘What would I do if I knew his identity?’
Elio leisurely looked around the village and returned to the chalet.

Adriatic Kingdom.
Krasion.
While Count Larva Omar met the great nobles of the south, Fabian hung out with barons and barons.
Howard and Crea, who were from the Empire, had no one in particular to meet, so they quietly followed Count Larva Omar.
Lately, the person Fabian has been working hard to build a relationship with is Baron Coleman Opener, the company commander of the Comet Unit.
He met Baron Colman Opener every night at an upscale bar, with entertainment expenses provided by Count Larva Omar.
Upscale bar ‘Where the Clouds Stay’.
In a typical bar in the South, the owner sells alcohol and snacks alone and customers drink across a long wooden table.
However, the high-end bar not only added a dozen tables, but also had young ladies serve drinks to customers.
If a customer and a girl happened to make eye contact, it would lead to prostitution, so naturally, the price of alcohol was high.
Even though it was a wartime event, strangely enough, the bars were busy.
Maybe it was because neither the Kingdom Army nor the Empire Army touched bars.
Late at night.
A pretty girl approached the table where two young men were sitting across from each other.
A man in his mid-twenties glanced at the young lady and spoke to the man across from him.
“I am okay. “If you like, you can have me sit next to you.”
Then Baron Coleman Offner, who was in his mid-thirties, let out a sheepish smile.
“I’m sorry for getting you drunk… … “What are you doing?”
Yet his eyes never left the young lady.
The young man, Fabian, smiled and glanced at the young lady.
The young lady sat down next to Baron Coleman Opener and filled his empty glass.
“I heard that the imperial army attacked Peromuros again. “Is this true?”
“Uh, you’ve been shooting magic cannons since last night? “This time, it looks like they’re shelling from all sides, so I guess they’re trying to put an end to it.”
“There was a rumor that the war would end once Peromuros was occupied… … . “Are there any talks about mediating the war with the Empire?”
“What is the end? “The war begins now.”
“Not a peace agreement?”
“Our corps recently changed its name from ‘Iron Wall’ to ‘Victory.’ A major troop reorganization was also carried out. Do you think that ‘victory’ and ‘a hard beating and a reluctant peace agreement’ go together?”
As he became sober, Baron Colman Opener talked more than usual.
Fabian secretly looked at the other person.
“But the Imperial Army has the Iron Legion, right? I heard that if you get hit by Exitium, the Sword Master will die and a hole will be created in the steel golem? “How do you deal with those guys?”
“Peromuros is a piece of cake. Do you know what I mean? “They just left it there to keep the attention of the imperial army.”
“Is there anything that big?”
Fabian, who believed that ‘the fate of the Adriatic kingdom depends on Peromuros,’ blinked his eyes in bewilderment.
“Thank goodness they don’t know what’s going on in Krazion.”
“What happened?”
“I told you. Our corps’ name has changed. “Kkkkkk.”
“You can change the name, whatever. “The contents are still the same, right?”
“Who says it’s the same? I heard it has been reorganized a lot. Even in our unit… … .”
While the two men talked about the military, the young lady kept emptying her glass next to her.
Then, when the bottle was empty, he would bring new alcohol on his own.
Fabian was afraid of money, but he did not stop because information was more valuable.
Still, the young lady seemed to notice, and once or twice she let out an exclamation from the side.
Every time the young lady reacted, Baron Colman Opener became more triumphant and stammered, not knowing what to say or not.
“Miss, if your house breaks down, call me. “I am the company commander of the engineer unit.”
“Oh my, is that so?”
The young lady emptied her drink again, not knowing what an engineer unit was.
When the young lady’s response did not meet expectations, Baron Coleman Opener spoke again.
“This is not an engineer unit that just does odd jobs. “It’s a combat engineer unit that has never been seen before.”
“Brother, what is a combat engineer unit?”
“The engineer unit that moves with the steel golem is the combat engineer unit.”
“Wow! “Is there a steel golem in your unit?”
“That’s the way it is.”
As Baron Coleman Offner shrugged his shoulders, the slightly intoxicated young lady inadvertently delivered the fatal blow.
“But you said the steel golem is no match for the Empire’s new weapon? They say it has a lot of holes, like tofu. Ah, I want to eat tofu. “Can I order some tofu?”
“Oh, order it, order it. Of course, there is Exitium in the imperial army… … .”
Unfortunately, the young lady got up without listening to Baron Coleman Opener’s story.
He went to get tofu.
Baron Coleman Opener, who was gritting his teeth, spoke in a low voice.
“Soon a major counterattack will begin. “At that time, our victorious army will crush the steel army.”
“But brother, the imperial army has Exitium… … .”
“What if we also have a new weapon that is just as good? So, if we destroy the Iron Legion, what do you think the war will be like?”
“Once the Iron Legion is destroyed, they will push into the Imperial Territory.”
“Our Victory Corps will be at the forefront. “I didn’t change my name for nothing.”
“Do you have a new weapon?”
When Fabian showed interest, Baron Colman Opener looked around for a moment and then spoke in a whisper.
“there is. Just wait and see. “Our victorious legion will crush the empire’s iron legion.”
Just as Fabian was about to ask more, the young lady returned with a plate of tofu.
The drinking party continued, but belatedly, ‘Oops!’ Perhaps Baron Coleman Opener did not mention the unit’s story anymore.
Near midnight, Fabian returned to Cusco Castle, leaving behind Baron Coleman Opener, who was disappointed.
next day.
Cusco Castle.
At breakfast, Fabian told Count Larva Omar, Howard, and Crea about his conversation with Baron Coleman Opener, commander of the Combat Engineer Company, the night before.
“… … It seems that the newly reorganized Victory Legion has a new weapon for the Southern Kingdom Army. It has not been confirmed what type of weapon it was. I asked him a few times, but he avoided answering. “I thought they might get suspicious if I kept digging into it, so I stopped there.”
Count Larva Omar, who had been providing the money, said with a smile.
“Good job. Leave the rest to me. If I reveal that I know that much… … The Southern Kingdom’s great nobles will no longer try to hide it. “Anyway, I’m surprised you were preparing a great counterattack like that.”
Howard, who had been listening quietly, quietly intervened.
“I thought the southern kingdoms would make their last stand, but… … . I never dreamed that I would come out with a new weapon. “I guess that new weapon was sold out of the back door by the Magic Tower, right?”
“That’s very likely. “The only place with the technology to create such a new weapon is the Magic Tower.”
Then Crea spoke carefully.
“If the Southern Kingdom’s new weapon was made in the Magic Tower… … . Is the ‘Spearhead of Chaos’ in the Magic Tower?”
Count Larva Omar muttered.
“It’s either the magician at the Magic Tower or… … . Or he could be a weapons dealer who sold the new weapons developed by the Magic Tower to both the Empire and the Southern Kingdom.”
Fabian, who was shaking his head, spoke in a confident tone.
“As of now, it seems most likely that the Southern Kingdom’s ‘new weapon developer’ and the ‘weapon dealer’ who supplied the Southern Kingdom with new weapons are the ‘spearheads of the chaos.’”
“I need to find out who the developer and arms dealer of the new weapon are through the Southern and Northern Kingdoms.”
“Then I will return to Count Lagoa and tell him that. “As soon as Count Omar finds out what the Southern Kingdom’s new weapon is, please let us know.”
Then Crea said with a worried face.
“I heard you said you would die if you stayed in Minos?”
“are you okay. I heard there was an unknown artillery battle taking place in Minos? If you look at it, you can see that it was a fight between the Mana Steel Legion and Count Lagoa. If you have touched Count Lagoa, you can say that the Marquis of Stauren is finished. “For now, the danger will have passed.”
“Still, if Count Lagoa tells you to leave again, don’t be stubborn and come back right away. “Did you know?”
“Of course. I am also a person who wants to live a long life. Count Omar, may we leave as soon as we finish eating?”
“I know. “He’s not the kind of person who will stay even if you catch him.”
“Oh, but I can’t leave if the Count stops me. “As you know.”
“I have no intention of catching you. “The fact that there is a new weapon in the Southern Kingdom is important information that Lord Lagoa also needs.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I hope Lord Lagoa will forgive Batalion’s troops. In this situation, if even the Batalion unit disappears… … . Because the damage the empire will suffer is too great. If that happens, the world will fall into uncontrollable chaos.”
“I will convey the Count’s concerns.”
“Make it hard.”
After finishing breakfast a little while later, Fabian immediately went back to his accommodation and packed his bags.
The thought of returning to Count Elio Lagoa again made me feel excited.
Howard and Crea grabbed some food from the kitchen and brought it to Fabian.
At the time Fabian left Cusco Castle, Elio also left the chalet.
