91 – Episode 91 Skill Level MAX
Following the magic stone necklace,
I challenged the magic stone ring.
Unlike a necklace, a ring must have a smaller stone attached.
Then,
“Has the effect decreased?”
If reduced to a certain size,
The effect of chasing away goblins has been reduced.
It seemed like it needed to be at least the size of a thumb.
“It’s a shame. “It would be nice to sell rings too.”
If the effect is the same,
The smaller the magic stone that goes in, the better.
There is a limit to the amount of magic energy that can be injected per day.
“Because the magic stone necklace is not a bad income. “Let’s just keep going like this for now.”
The material for the magic stone necklace is simple.
An ordinary stone.
Leash.
Absorb the demonic energy of the cultivated land here and inject it and that’s it.
“Not bad for extra income.”
This is additional income gained from removing magic from cultivated land, which must be done anyway.
Even while we are focusing on removing magic from farmland and producing magic stones,
The Frontier territory continued to develop.
A new village was built,
Nomads moved in there.
That’s not all.
The production of firearms with triggers is also steadily progressing.
In this way, we remove the evil energy from the agricultural land,
When focusing on producing small magic stones,
An unexpected person came to visit.
“Mr. Alencia?”
“Do you have time?”
“Of course.”
I brush the dust off my knees,
I stood up from my seat.
“Please come this way.”
Alencia was guided to the temporary government office in the new village.
The car is ready,
Alencia did not speak until she had finished drinking the tea.
After a long time has passed,
Alencia opened her mouth with difficulty.
“A few weeks after the Battle of Paonia, someone came to Vampire’s Mansion.”
What does this mean all of a sudden?
First, I focused on the story.
“The visitor was the Count of Valois.”
The family of the Counts of Valois.
The powerhouse of the northern coastal region.
A prestigious family of an empire, both in name and reality, with military, economic, and political power.
In particular, the reason they are famous is because they are one of the electors who have the right to elect the emperor.
“Why are they in Ireland…?”
“It seems like the denomination has moved. “The Counts of Valois serve the moon goddess.”
From Noble mtl dot com
My father and I executed the temple knights and priests of the Moon Church.
It seems that the Church of the Moon took action over that issue.
“What did they say?”
“They say they will hold you responsible for killing the goddess’ servant.”
“Didn’t the priests and temple knights make a mistake? They…”
He killed his mother and tried to take over Frontier.
“I know. However, their claims are different. “It is claimed that the temple and temple knight who visited Ireland to measure magic power were attacked.”
“This is absurd. There is data collected by hunters anyway. If you use this…”
Allen Xia shook her head.
“They won’t accept it. Rather, they will refute it by saying it was fabricated. Moreover, considering their political power…”
If you don’t believe the evidence, there is no way to persuade.
However, this also applies to the opponent.
“Then they don’t have any evidence either?”
“That’s right. That’s why the minor lord of Valois challenged you to a duel. Because power is truth.”
“It won’t be one-on-one, right?”
“Of course. Many-to-many battle. “They seem to want a reenactment of the Battle of Paonia.”
“Can’t we avoid it?”
Many soldiers were lost in the Battle of Paonia.
I wanted to avoid battle if possible.
“I’m sorry. Even the Duke’s family can’t stop it forever. “If the duel is aborted, then there will be a real war.”
Duel.
This is a means of resolving conflicts between nobles.
Duel is a mixture of war and sport.
There is judgment,
There is a rule.
Instead, the rest is like a real war.
Blood is rampant and people die.
The reason for creating this duel is,
Reduce large-scale wars within the empire,
It was to prevent the weakening of the empire’s power.
If the nobles go to war every time there is conflict,
General soldiers, knights, and wizards will die in large numbers.
‘It’s a real war…’
Unfortunately, Monster Island cannot go to war with continental nobles.
The situation is such that food independence is not possible right now.
“Are the rules set?”
“This is a showdown between you and the Valois lord. “For power, only the troops possessed by the small lord can be mobilized.”
If only the power of the small lord could be mobilized,
I am not pushed back either.
“The problem is that the Count of Valois has a separate order of knights directly under the minor lord.”
It was indeed a prestigious family.
A group of knights under the direct control of Lord So.
“You believe that.”
“That’s right. “They must have figured out the general situation of the Battle of Paonia.”
At that time, he faced considerable difficulties from the 100 temple knights.
If Alencia and her father had not helped, they could have been defeated.
“Please accept the confrontation.”
“… I’m sorry.”
“However, please take time. “I have to prepare too.”
“… If the situation is unfavorable, you can surrender. “I will definitely protect you.”
Alencia left her village with her last words.
.
.
I also left the village,
Started with iron.
“If the Battle of Paonia is recreated, do you think you can beat me?”
After the battle,
I realized the lack of military power.
Isn’t that why they even made gunpowder weapons?
Of course, not all problems have been solved.
Even if he had a gun, the knight was a burden.
Arriving at Iron,
I was briefed on the gun situation first.
Status of firearms)
50 Regular firearms.
100 Trigger guns.
The maximum number of firearms without triggers is 150.
Results of gun power test)
Sword user’s mana penetration O
Sword Expert’s Mana Penetration
…
Piercing the priest’s shield
“The Sword Expert’s mana is impenetrable.”
All knights are sword experts or higher.
In other words, if you decide to protect yourself, you cannot be killed with a firearm.
After the gun report,
The contents of the cannon came out.
Cannon status)
4 Cannons.
Cannon power test results)
Perhaps because the cannon ball was thicker, its penetrating power was less than that of a firearm.
Instead, the range is much longer,
If you hit it right, you can wipe out the troops in your path.
What is different from the Battle of Paonia?
There are 150 guns and 4 cannons.
You must use this to lead the battle to victory.
“First… Attach the artifact to 50 triggerless guns.”
“If it’s an artifact…?”
“I had an idea last time. “Lighting gunpowder with an artifact.”
“Wasn’t that canceled due to cost?”
“It’s okay. If it’s 50 tablets. “It’s urgent right now.”
Ordered the improvement of 50 triggerless firearms,
Visited a firearms training range.
Soldiers were practicing adding gunpowder and bullets.
“Um…”
The first thought I had when I saw the training was
It was ‘a mess’.
Everyone loaded their firearms in a way that was convenient for them.
“Hans.”
“Yes! Lord Su!”
Hans, who was leading the firearms training, came running.
“Create an efficient reloading motion. Divide the movement into several steps and train step by step.”
“Ah… Yes! All right!”
I thought about my military service in Korea.
Before deploying the unit,
A few weeks of training at the training center.
I received a lot of training in that short period of time.
From rituals to chemical and biological warfare, grenades, individual combat, and shooting.
In other words, shooting training lasts only a few days.
In that short period of time, I learned how to use a gun and even completed zero-point shooting.
‘It may be harder to handle than a Korean rifle, but you will still get used to shooting it before the duel.’

Vampires Mansion.
There was a war of words there.
“It’s been more than two months since I requested a duel. “I can’t put it off any longer.”
Alencia was impressed by the examiner’s words.
Elwin asked to postpone the battle,
It wasn’t easy.
This is because Vampires has been taking their time.
“We will set the duel date for the 1st of next month. “Will the Vampire House also accept it?”
“It will be at the end of next month.”
“A duel is like a small war. “The period cannot be extended indefinitely at the request of one party.”
“Then, we will give in until the middle of next month. Doesn’t it take time to travel from Valois Territory to the Frontier anyway?”
The examiner thought for a moment and nodded.
“Good. I will set the date like that. Then, the number of troops on both sides is…”
Just setting a date is not the end.
Duel is a measure to reduce casualties compared to war.
The number that could be mobilized also had to be strictly controlled.
A war of words broke out again over this issue.
**

Iron Village.
Alencia’s letter arrived there.
“Has the date been decided? And the size of the troops…”
Soldier 1500.
Mercenary 150.
New building 10.
Wizard (3 circles or less) 2.
The number that can be mobilized is written,
Alencia further explained below.
[… The number of troops that could be mobilized was negotiated depending on the size of the troops on both sides. … The wizard was in the northern subjugation war…]
Vampires northern subjugation battle.
This is a battle I participated in.
At that time, Elena and her classmates were moving together.
Alencia said they were my subordinates.
Thanks to you, you can now use two wizards.
Even if it is less than 3 circles.
I raised my head,
I saw the person who brought the letter.
“Brother, I am here, so don’t worry.”
Circle 3 Wizard Elena spoke in her confident voice.
