#34. Everyone has a plan... (1)

“This is the amount we can offer.”

“Thank you. Thank you so much.”

“No, not at all. The Demon King is the enemy of the world. Rather, we should apologize for not being able to fight alongside you.”

The one who kept grabbing my hand and paying endless thanks was the Count who had come from the neighboring country.

The situation was dire with the Demon King right at our doorstep, making everyone anxious. When the dwarves personally offered to provide their latest weapons free of charge, how could he not be grateful?

“No, really, thank you.”

Seeing a high nobility Count kneel down to the ground, I could tell how powerful the Demon King’s momentum was.

“The usage is simple, I left instructions... The power is....”

Rather than explaining thousands of times, it’s better to show once.

We decided to bring out a prepared magical device (failure) and demonstrate.

“If you preload the arrows like this, it works. Think of it as loading a crossbow. It might be easier to understand.”

*click*

I directed the dwarf attendant to demonstrate the loading motion.

“After that, just put a magic stone in the back mechanism. And when you press fire....”

Boom!

With an explosive noise, hundreds of arrows loaded in the magical device flew up into the sky.

“All loaded arrows will fire like this.”

“Oh, incredible!”

“The important part is that you can confirm where the arrows land.”

I took the Count of the neighboring country, whose jaws had dropped in awe, to where the target of the magical device was.

Now was not the time to be impressed yet.

“Th-this is unbelievable!”

I looked at the Count, his jaws wide open once again, with a satisfied expression.

Yes, you should be amazed when you see such innovative technology.

“What do you think?”

“A-amazing. There is the disadvantage that it takes quite some time to reload, but with this much firepower, it’s well worth taking on.”

Where the arrows of the magical device landed was a rocky mountain nearby.

In various parts of the rocky mountain, which was full of extremely hard rocks, arrows fired from the magical device were stuck.

“Arrows that can pierce steel...”

To further emphasize the visual impact, I had placed steel shields made of iron in various parts of the rocky mountain.

Seeing the power of the dwarf-made magical device (failed product) that pierced even the steel shields, he shivered.

“W-with this...”

“Yes. This level of power should be enough to attack the evil god’s army.”

There is only one reason why so many kingdoms have collapsed before the evil god’s army.

Because the evil god’s army was far too strong.

Saying this might sound obvious.

The strong wins and the weak losses.

No matter how many excuses there may be for defeat, the reason why one loses in war is because the enemy was strong and one’s own army was weak.

Whether it be numbers, quality of troops, ability of generals.

Eventually, evaluating all those things becomes combat power. The strong prevails and the weak falls, that is the way of things.

However, the evil god’s army needs to be evaluated a bit differently.

Empowerment.

All monsters tainted by evil become empowered.

Even goblins, considered the weakest monsters, demonstrate the combat power of a single soldier once tainted by evil.

Normally, goblins are monsters that even beginning adventurers can catch. But the moment they are tainted by evil, they transform into monsters even specialized goblin slayers find difficult to deal with.

Especially orcs, usually seen as a training game, become extremely tricky once tainted by evil.

Ordinary arrows become useless, and only personnel at the level of junior knights capable of using swordsmanship can inflict damage.

The bow. It is the basis of war.Updated chapters on

Why give spears to soldiers rather than swords?

Because spears are faster to learn and easier to utilize compared to swords.

What is generally expected of soldiers is to form formations.

It is unfair to expect combat abilities beyond that from people who normally farm the land and raise livestock for food.

That’s why spears rather than swords are given to them.

In battles between humans, just forming spear formations is enough to efficiently deal with enemy attacks.

The reason bows are the basis of war is the same.

Even easier to use than spears.

Of course, any soldier trained to an extent would know. That despite appearances, accounting for distance, direction, and wind, bows are extremely difficult weapons compared to directly swinging spears.

Furthermore, the moment magic is used, it shows the highest difficulty among all weapons!

The fact that the number of bowmasters do not amount to even one tenth the number of swordsmasters shows this common knowledge.

Yet in war, accuracy was unneeded.

“Thank you very much.”

Seeing the Count shedding tears for real, I patted his shoulder as if it were nothing.

“Until the kingdom collapses, we will reinforce this castle and make weapons. If the kingdom is in danger by any chance... Please use this castle.”

“I will tell His Majesty.”

As I watched the people from the neighboring country leaving after the final farewell, I smiled benevolently.

And,

“Dharman.”

“Yes, honorary elder.”

“Have all the dwarves fled according to plan?”

“That’s right.”

“Destination?”

“In the direction the imperial forces are moving.”

“Fools.”

After hearing all of Dharman’s reports, I scoffed.

“The enemy’s enemy is not an ally.”

“That’s right.”

If they were ordinary imperial soldiers, they would cooperate when they saw dwarves.

But which unit do the imperial forces coming now belong to?

It was the Princess’ unit.

Most of the Princess’ unit were those who got hit by the wooden bat, and a few were those that I and the metal bat had beaten up.

To them, dwarves were the most dangerous beings in the world, and the Black Anvil clan were more evil than the followers of the evil god.

“There’s no such suicidal act like that.”

“They are foolish people who do not see the grand plan of the honorary elder, Hectare.”

Seeing Dharman, who played the role of double spy perfectly, bow his head, I smiled satisfactorily.

“You’ve worked hard all this time.”

“No, not at all.”

“I don’t lie. As promised, I will free you, and as long as you do not betray me, you will not be attacked by the metal bat”

“Thank you, honorary elder!”

Seeing Dharman shedding even more emotional tears than the Count, I gave him my last advice.

“The empire means hell. Your souls will be exploited and you will have to fight the metal bat. So you guys should take refuge in another race.”

“I understand!”

A few days later, Dharman and the dwarves who followed me all left.

Only I, a human, and the evil god, metal bat, were left in the village of the Black Anvil clan.

“So what do we do now? No matter how perfect this place is, you can’t stop it alone, can you?”

It was the metal bat, kicking the floor in boredom.

“No matter how good the weapons you lent, they were all failures. Such things cannot possibly stop the evil god forces!”

No matter how good a weapon it was, a failure was a failure.

While good ones had about 50 percent of the power of successful models, most had less than 10 percent power.

Of course, even that alone makes it a revolutionary weapon, but it cannot be compared to successful models containing state-of-the-art dwarf technology.

“It’s going to fail and bounce away anyway. This way.”

I subtly showed the bait.

The best castle walls on the continent.

I hinted that I would make the latest weapons until I was pushed back to it.

From the weapons given as a service, they will know how powerful the latest weapons are!

“This castle was never meant for dwarves in the first place.”

Humans and elves are the only ones who can fight the evil god forces.

No matter how sturdy the castle walls, the moment dwarves make contact near the evil god forces, they become the enemy.

Would I want a situation where enemies arise naturally inside the castle walls?!

“The Kingdom of Baresseryl will fall, and some of its people will come here!”

I will stay here as long as possible until then, create a scene, and escape.

The plan was perfect.

However,

“Huh?”

The failures were too powerful beyond my expectations.
