◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (140)

Geographically, the Artian Kingdom was bound to be under check by the Meladion Kingdom and the Baroque Kingdom.

Fortunately, when Byron, the second prince, became king, a strong alliance was formed with the Kingdom of Meladion.

In his past life, Byron had married the daughter of Duke Heron of the Kingdom of Meladion.

This caused Byron to immediately begin expanding his territory into the Baroque kingdom and start a bloody war.

‘At that time, the Kranum from the Kingdom of Meladion was of great help.’

I don’t remember exactly, but from now on, I’d say it was roughly 4 or 5 years later?

A new method of processing Kranum is developed by an eccentric mineral researcher in the Kingdom of Meladion.

This is also combined with the very common copper.

The ore, which had been used only as a luxury item for noble ladies, is being reprocessed and brings about a new revolution in the magical world.

‘The wizards’ staff abilities have been enhanced with processed Kranum.’

The development of magicians, who were already slow to develop and rare, instantly strengthened national power.

It was thanks to such support that the Artian Kingdom was able to wage an all-out war against the Baroque Kingdom.

In any case, if we can process something called Kranium at this time, it would be like having a great weapon in the future.

Of course, it is not something to rush for the Artian Kingdom, which still does not have many magicians.

But I thought it was enough of a weapon to convince these two people.

Sangkleen and Saila tilted their heads at Lian’s question.

“Cranium?”

“I know. But why are you asking, Cranium?”

It was Saila who asked the question.

I wasn’t really interested in it, but I knew the name.

“Isn’t that a jewel used as a luxury item?”

“That’s right. However, Kranium is a mineral of much greater value than we know. If we obtain Kaizal, we will not only be freeing the slave prisoners and turning back the painful history of the kingdom, but we will also be obtaining a resource that could be of great help to the future of the kingdom.”

Lian spoke firmly. Ceyla sighed softly as she looked at Lian like that.

“Cranium is of greater value than we know… Lian, if what you say is true, then its value must be proven first. In this situation, is it so important that we should take out Arrowhead and attack that place?”

Sangkleen nodded slightly at Seyla’s question.

Because in such an important matter there must be a valid basis.

Lian answered.

“Do you happen to know anything about the attribute weapon?”

“Attribute Invincible?”

“Are you talking about the artifacts that are said to be floating around among the nobles? Weapons and armor that display certain properties when infused with magic power?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“There’s so much to know about talking to you. Why do you ask?”

Sangkeulen frowned slightly, perhaps feeling that the conversation was going around in circles.

Meanwhile, Seyla, who was next to him, was looking at Lian with a calm expression.

Lian continued speaking quickly, thinking that she shouldn’t drag out the conversation.

“The one who made that attribute weapon is a blacksmith named Walter in Belotra. And the one who supports him is the Hamel Merchant Association. This time, the method of processing Kranum was also discovered through the research of the Hamel Merchant Association. Although progress is slow, if Kranum production increases, it will be of great help in revolutionizing the kingdom’s magic world.”

“Hamel top?”

“Yes, we have a close relationship as well, and he helped us fight the Hulk in Bieltona in the past.”

“Hmm…….”

If a clear name comes out, the story is a little different.

Besides, isn’t the attribute weapon already an innovative topic that has become a hot topic among the nobles?

Of course, it was an object of envy for many nobles who dreamed of becoming knights, although they were not interested in weapons like the Sangklen.

As the mood changed slightly, Lian continued speaking without missing a beat.

“Kaijal is the place with the most kraanium on the continent. If we can get hold of it, we will gain much more than we can imagine.”

“Hmm…… I understand what you’re saying. Actually, I don’t really know about the revolution in the magical world or anything like that…….”

Seila trailed off slightly and looked at Sangkleen.

Sangkeulen shook his head slightly as if he was not satisfied. Saila said to him.

“I fully understand the value you are talking about. However, I do not think that it is important enough to delay the advance northward in this war and go to Khaizal. Nor do I have the capacity to do so.”

“That’s right. It’s important to advance north when the timing is right. That’s why I told you that the Arrowhead unit will go separately.”

Lian spoke straight away, looking at the map spread out on the table.

“It will take at least a week for the main force to reach the next battle site. The more people there are, the slower the speed will be.”

Lian continued, pointing to the map.

“Besides, the opponent will be preparing fiercely from now on. It is already an irreversible mistake to have handed over the play ball.”

Lian, who was saying those words, shut her mouth tightly and fell into thought. After thinking for a moment, Lian looked at Sangkeulen and Seila and said.

“……Ten days, whether it works or not, I will finish the work within ten days and follow the main force.”

“Ten days? Even if Kaizal isn’t a military stronghold, it won’t be easy, right?”

“Even so, I think it’s a possibility worth trying. I think it could solve the problems our kingdom has along with the acquisition of the Cranium I mentioned earlier.”

“Hmm…….”

Sangkeulen’s expression after hearing the story was not very good. Seila’s expression did not seem very favorable either.

This may be a natural reaction.

The Arrowhead unit’s contribution to capturing Plebol was remarkable.

It is bound to be a burden to dispose of that much power.

Seila nodded at Lian’s words.

“Okay, I understand. Let’s talk and I’ll give you an answer. Stay out.”

“All right.”

Lian answered Seyla’s question obediently and left the conference room.

I think I did the best I could, but… … .

“Ugh…….”

Lian, who returned to where his men were, sighed deeply.

Because I felt like I said something wrong.

Isaac, who was standing next to him, tilted his head and asked.

“……Why are you doing that?”

“No, I just… thought maybe I did something wrong.”

“That means…….”

“Then nothing happened?”

“Shouldn’t I like this?”

The surrounding soldiers spoke with a cheerful tone.

The fact that Lian, who had gone with a determined expression, came back disappointed meant that his plan had fallen through.

That means,

“I don’t think there will be any accidents.”

“Whew… I was so nervous.”

Brant spoke softly, looking at Florent who was next to him. However, upon hearing those words, Lian frowned and said.

“What? Should we try some physical training in the enemy camp from the morning?”

“Hahaha, just kidding. Do you think I really liked it? Hahaha…….”

Lian just let out a small sigh at the reactions of her unit members.

Certainly, for Sangkeulen and Seila, the topic of innovation in the magical world is bound to be quite alienating.

There was no topic that could strongly persuade them right now.

Not long after, a soldier approached Lian.

“Lord Lian, Lord Sangkleon has summoned you.”

You’ve already made your decision.

It didn’t take much time… … .

‘… … It didn’t work.’

Lian tried to suppress her regret and went back into the conference room where Sangkeulen and Seyla were. And the moment Lian entered,

“I don’t allow it.”

“yes?”

Lian’s eyes shook slightly at Sangkeulen’s calm answer.

I thought it wouldn’t work out, of course…

Saila continued speaking immediately.

“But it’s only for ten days.”

“Are you saying it’s been ten days since the unit departed?”

“okay.”

Lian’s eyes sparkled at Seyla’s words.

The main force will move in two days.

In fact, even if we assume that today is almost over, we still have one and a half days left.

‘Then, it would be like gaining about 12 days of time.’

Lian immediately began to picture the situation in her head.

If you hurry from here to Khajal, you can get there in about two days.

Of course, a detailed operation might be necessary, but from the moment he thought of Kaizal, one plan occurred to Lian.

‘It’s a bit precarious, but… … .’

Wasn’t this an operation originally planned to be carried out for ten days?

Rather, it is quite possible now that I have some free time.

“thank you.”

“……I really can’t stop you.”

Ceyla burst out laughing at the absurdity.

From the moment Sangklen gave permission, Lian’s mind was filled with thoughts about Kaizal.

“Then let’s go back.”

So Lian hurriedly left the conference room.

Even though it’s only the 12th, he has a lot to do from this moment on.

And right after Lian left,

“……I’m embarrassed.”

“What are you saying?”

Sang-Klein is the type of person who rarely reveals his true feelings like this.

Saila asked him about the unexpected words that came out of his mouth.

Sangkeulen sighed softly and said to Seyla.

“Isn’t that what we were supposed to do?”

Although the number is not large, it is clear that prisoners of the kingdom are being held in Khaizal and forced to work.

Ethan, who ascended the throne three years ago, was also aware of this problem and was determined to solve it.

Therefore, if there was any positive benefit to be gained from this war, the liberation of Khaizal was also in mind.

“But that wasn’t the priority.”

“This can only be done if there is a clear victory against the Kingdom of Meladion. I believe the general’s choice was not wrong.”

Ceyla assessed the situation calmly.

If you march straight to the capital of the Kingdom of Meladion and pressure them into surrendering, you can later liberate the prisoners in Kaijal.

Sangkeulen also knows that fact, but

“That doesn’t justify our neglect. And…….”

Sangkeulen looked at the door Lian had exited through, drawing a small curve at the corner of his mouth.

“It’s comforting to know that there are young people who are aware of these issues.”

At those words, Seyla also smiled slightly.

“What’s happening all of a sudden?”

“……It was meant to be.”

The three deputy captains who had gathered at Lian’s sudden call looked at Lian.

Among them, Isaac looked at Lian with his lips tightly shut as if he had expected this.

Lian unfolded the map he had brought and spoke to them.

“I’m sure you all know about Kaiser, right?”

“Kaiser…….”

“Hmm…….”

Raymond exhaled with a serious expression as Varus muttered.

Because I know very well what the word Kaijal means to the Artian Kingdom.

And with just that one word, you could tell right away what Lian was trying to do.

“The size of the labor camp in Kaiser is not that big, but it is quite difficult to enter. There have been several attempts in the past within the kingdom, but they have all failed.”

“It is something that must be done, but… I’m not sure if it is right to suddenly leave like this and go to Kaizal. Wouldn’t it be better to focus on the war against the Meladion Kingdom for now, win, and then aim for the liberation of Kaizal?”

Varus and Raymond spoke to Lian.

I knew full well what he was trying to do, but I thought it was virtually impossible.

Lian shook her head.

As Raymond said, there is also a possibility that we can liberate Kaizal through a victory over the Kingdom of Meladion.

But the Kingdom of Meladion will never let go of Kaizal.

‘The guys will soon learn about Cranium.’

If so, it is obvious that Kaizal will be buried under the water again. Moreover,

‘We can’t just let Meldir be taken away by the Kingdom of Meladion.’

Meldir, who has great talent for magic, and Kranum, which has great potential as a material for magic wands.

‘Have it all.’

Lian is already completely different from her past life. That is why she has no intention of making any more concessions.

“No, it must be done now.”

Lian spoke firmly.

Maybe this will be my first and last opportunity to work with Kaiser.

Lian pointed to the map.

“We…… will enter Kaiser through this side.”

And looking at the place Lian pointed,

“……yes?”

“There…….”

“Umm…….”

The expressions on the faces of the three deputy captains began to darken rapidly.
