Chapter 325
A superb Patraxion who challenged a country to a duel and actually made it a success.
The rider recalled his anecdote and spat out curse words.
“…a crazy bastard.”
“It’s a duel. Raise your weapon. Victory is justice, so the victor will get this land. That’s the Heavenly God… No, the Earth Mother will protect it this time.”
But you can’t back off. If the opponent backed down saying they were willing to go to war, there would only be a greater loss.
This is why it does not disappear just because everyone avoids war. cried the jockey.
“I’m not going to back down lightly!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha! The desired sea!”
The war between nations and nations broke out with the cry of one person.
“therefore. The vanguard led by the celestial song defeated the wicked invaders and raised the flag of the country high.”
After the solo song, Hilde bowed and waited for our reaction. Tyr and I clapped our hands a little, and Aji stared at me, then tapped the floor with his paws as if imitating me. The only one who stayed still was the regressor.
In a two-eyed village, one-eyed people always look strange. For a moment, the eyes focused on the regressor. The regressor, who caught everyone’s attention with his silence, clicked his tongue instead of clapping his hands.
“It’s already gone.”
“You broke in! What have you been listening to so far? they first! It’s gnawing at Tantalus! The military is always on the defensive!”
“You were thinking of advancing to the mainland no matter what. Am I wrong?”
At the regressor’s sharp point, Hilde shut her mouth. After a while, Hilde replied with a smile as if she had been caught.
“Hmm. That’s really weird. Normally, I look like a child in elementary school, but sometimes my knowledge is as old as a 100-year-old old man?”
“shut up. If you really wanted to protect it, you would have sent the Corps of Engineers rather than the Corps. You know who the fool is.”
‘It was like that in the previous episode too. Back then the nations were much more cautious than this. Because of the undead’s corpse golem, neither the military nor the nations could hastily approach…’
The regressor is also subtly similar to me. I talk about the answer I got by reading people’s minds as if I reasoned, but the regressor talks about the experience he had before the regression as if he had predicted it. Both are cheating and cheating.
If it hadn’t been for a regression, I would have seen the empty bottom. I can’t help it. Just like mind reading is an ability, regression is an ability. If you twist it, I should have regressed.
‘Was the simple look you show sometimes a bold decision? I thought it was my father’s chess piece… but I have to think differently.’
Hilde did not know that fact and adjusted her evaluation of the regressor.
“Whoops. So you know? What a difficult decision the military had to make. You gave up quite a bit to accept the truce you pushed for?”
“Is it difficult? It’s just there.”
“Staying still while gathering the strength to advance to the heart of the enemy. That’s the hardest thing… but you’re not saying this without knowing anything.”
“….”
‘It’s just standing still. Is that difficult?’
I mean you don’t know. Although it doesn’t show off at all on the outside.
I’m going to tell you a little bit so that you don’t feel too embarrassing.
“Is it because of the supply network?”
“yes. A military vacuum in the military is an administrative vacuum. It’s not a job for a soldier to just stand still, right? I have to carry luggage and do construction work throughout the military. They were hastily gathered and left in the empty field, so the damage is not the only one. It’s okay now because I have the supplies I’ve accumulated, but later…”
Hilde, who pretended to count something with her fingers, let out a deep sigh and blurted out her words.
“A week to be honest. After that, we must march at least to prevent the disintegration of the Legion. So, can you give me more strength? Do I have to reach the Golden Palace a week ago and hand out an armistice?”
“one week?”
“Why are you lacking?”
“No, that’s enough.”
‘What is a truce? It will be easy if you just convince the military. Because the nations are relatively weak.’
The regressor answered indifferently. Hilde stared at the regressor before adding a word.
“I will tell you one more thing. A week is enough time for us and all nations to complete their preparations. If it had gone according to the original plan, we would have broken the brunt of the enemy, cut off information, and advanced by defeating the Juggernauts individually, but we can’t do that after a week.”
“Why is the war difficult because of us, so ask for help?”
“If you’re going to stop the war, I mean make sure you do it. The war that will happen in a month will be dozens of times more terrible than the war that should have happened yesterday.”
Hilde tends to say serious things with an infinitely light face. It’s a skill that I developed in my own way, but it’s creepy, so I want you to take care of yourself.
The regressor, who had nothing to say, looked away and answered.
“…Tch. Anyone who sees you will know that you love peace. So, do you know where the Golden Palace is?”
Hilde smiled and replied.
“I don’t know! Who knows where the moving palace might be right now?”
“Well, it is. Let’s go and find it. No matter how hard you can find it, if you hear Claudia, you will know the information. wait for a sec. I had a map…”
The regressor turned and rummaged in her pocket. In the meantime, Hilde, who was watching me, sneaked up to me. Somehow, I kept my body tight so that Tir or the regressor couldn’t hear me, and whispered while using Qigong.
“Father, please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not trying to hide it, neither ‘me’ nor she really knows. That’s…”
“Because you can’t see?”
“…yes. You know that.”
Hilde smiled lightly and nodded.
A clairvoyant can see everything in the world, but can only ‘see’ to an extent. In other words, if the light doesn’t reach it, it’s going to be a big challenge. Tyr, who is said to be the greatest enemy of Seonghwangcheong, does not walk around in the dark for nothing.
That was included among the reasons why UL tried to kick us out. Tyr’s darkness covers Yuel’s clairvoyance. Even with clairvoyance, Yuel was deceived by not being able to grasp our diversionary operation.
‘…Besides, even Yuel doesn’t know the structure of the Golden Palace. Even my father would know.’
Still, there must be at least one person in the world who knows, right? It’s okay because you can read his thoughts. Let’s just approach.
“good. I have decided.”
The regressor, who was desperately looking at something alone, clapped his hands and called us together. The regressor took out a small map and laid it out in front of us.
A blank map with nothing written on it and nothing drawn on it. I want to know what kind of map this is, but those are the nations. On the cursed land, which has brought so many surveyors to despair, it is better to draw nothing at all. This is because it is a city, a topography, and changes every moment.
At the far right of the map, mountain ranges lined up like a folding screen. Surveyors trying to map the lands of the nations must have been delighted to discover the mountain. In a country where today is not like yesterday, it was the only feature that could be discerned.
Plus… surveyors aren’t the only ones who love the unchanging.
The regressor pointed out a point on the mountain range.
Claudia.
The name of a city placed alone on a map of nations. The most populous place in the world.
“First of all, we will head to Claudia, the only settled city in the nations. If you find the location of the golden palace by robbing a jackal or a juggernaut on the way, head there right away. If not, stop by Claudia and find out the location of the golden palace.”
“Claudia? It’s a city at the foot of the Cloud Mountains to the east, isn’t it?”
“okay. The Golden Palace is said to move freely, but Claudia, which serves as a base, does not move, so all you have to do is go. It’s also an easy place to meet people from the Golden Palace.”
In a good sense, it is a solid straight-up method that is not like a regressor. However, there is a problem.
“Claudia has to keep going up the mountain range. Can we get there in a week by cataphract?”
“This is too much. It has good defense, but not very fast.”
“So what? Could you please fly away?”
“No, you can’t fly that far with a thousand cherry blossoms. There is not enough space in the cherry tree. So we need an alternative.”
To come up with a strategy and a plan and suggest an alternative. Regressor, you all have ideas. For the first time, you’re starting to look a little trustworthy.
The regressor lifted the cherry tree and Jizan and looked around the cataphract with an infinitely cold expression.
“Let’s remodel.”
Why are you holding a knife and saying that… I’m worried about something. do you know what mods are? Surely it’s not a one-dimensional way of thinking…?
It must be my mood, but it felt like the cataphract was trembling.
The remodeling the regressor said was quite brutal and violent, as I expected.
First, the engine part with the wheel is separated so as not to be damaged. Then, cut off the upper part with a single knife with a jizan and a thousand cherry blossoms. The Cataphract is a masterpiece covered with 3-level alchemy steel and 4 levels added to the vulnerable part, but it could not withstand the cruel hands of the regressor.
[Ah ah ah. The Cataphract…]
The Golem shut his mouth as he watched the Cataphract disintegrate horribly.
It is the thick armor that accounts for most of the Cataphract’s weight. When the whole thing was cut and removed, the cataphract became extremely light.
The regressor looked at the Cataphract that had become a cart with a proud face.
“ruler! You can go a lot faster now!”
Then it is. should have dried
I shook my head and said.
“Mr Shay. Making it lighter doesn’t make it faster.”
“uh? why?”
‘I heard the wagon speeds up when the load is lightened?’
For some reason, it seemed a bit trustworthy, but it was just a lie. Does it go faster by removing the fat from the horse’s butt? The speed doesn’t change much. It’s a matter of structure and design.
Shaking his head, he spoke to the golem sitting stunned.
“…ha. Wait. Dizzy. How do you do this?”
[Huh…. Please destroy this aircraft…]
“I can’t forgive you for being comfortable with yourself. Open your eyes wide and get through this hell. That’s your duty, signalman.”
[…Correspondent Captain Dizzy… Okay. I will stand over this sadness.]
The regressor who made even the golem shed tears blinked his eyes, not even knowing what he had done wrong.
“How do I fix it to make it more usable?”
[In order to increase the speed as much as the weight is reduced… the size of the gears must be adjusted and the wheel reworked…]
“Can it be done?”
[Unless you are at the level of processing a wheel with alchemy… Realistically impossible…]
Sheesh. It’s breathtaking.
Up to the wheel can be processed. The problem is that I can’t read the golem’s mind. My ability is rather gained from reading other people’s thoughts rather than from myself.
I just listened to the golem’s explanation and reprocessed it according to the standard? With this lack of horsepower? Even if you somehow process a wheel of thunder, what kind of lightning will you put in it? It must have lacked mana for a long time.
“uh? no?”
When the regressor calmly asked, Hilde shook her head and stepped out.
“Phew. I can’t help it. Well, what does a person who wields a Demon God know about machinery?”
“What! There’s nothing wrong with being lighter!”
“It’s okay~. Look away.”
Hilde grabbed the wheel and pulled it out with all her might. The wheel that was firmly embedded in the heart of the Cataphract was pulled out powerlessly.
It is the power of a qigong master who reached a point. After crushing the steel with brute force, Hilde blew air into her fingernails and scratched the surface of the wheel. The hard wheel was deeply scratched.
‘I am an alchemist. An understanding of steel that changes matter with magical power.’
