The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

At the base near Kotsuraha, I was leading the army history and watching the mortars captured in a faraway winding.

Eight soldiers surround the vicinity of the captured mortar.

The mortar has a round bar called a cannon ear (broom) on both sides of the slouchy cannon, which is shaped to hook it to the base.

The cannon ears are oiled and can be caused by a handle attached to the top to shake your head up and down.

The arms supporting the cannon ears grew from the foundation, which was made of solid wood like pillowwood.

The foundation has four handles on each side, two on the front and two on the back, for a total of twelve.

The two in the middle that are sandwiched back and forth can be held with one hand, and the two in front and back can be held with both hands.

Will the weight be about two to three hundred kilograms in total?

It is not a weight that even eight people can hold lightly.

The eight soldiers kneel on the grassy ground beneath, holding a handle, each staring into the sky.

Looking at the sky, too, one soldier on a king eagle descended into a steep descent.

A soldier who discovered the eagle at about the same time as me said, "Ten thirty! scream."

The mortar was instantly lifted, and this was pinned with a numbered bill on the ground, but at ten and a half o'clock it matched the pitch and placed it on the ground.

A soldier located behind the mortar instantly angles up and fastens.

A soldier with a fire rope put a stick on the fire gate.

Push, I heard a noise, white smoke stood thin.

The eagle wakes his head at low altitude and raises his altitude again.

"That wasn't bad earlier. Now what's the winning rate?

"I thought maybe three out of ten."

Unfortunately, the ancient ginseng soldier entrusted with this squad said.

It's pathetic to be offered such an unclear role.

"Let me practice all day. That's this grade. What do you think?"

Gathered here were the greats of the Heavenly Knight, who led the eagle, among military officials.

When I hear that,

"If I were you, I wouldn't even think about using it."

Gino Toga, who was in today, said tough things.

I'm even frowning.

"It is unrealistic to allow a waiting alert, like now, to continue for a long time to react instantly when an enemy arrives. Even then, the current interception was a tough one, either in time or not. If we're going to guard supplies and ships, given that we need to continue what we have for about twelve hours a day, interception with this cannon doesn't seem realistic."

It was true.

"In the Battle of the Hot Bridge, you knew the direction and timing of the eagle entering, didn't you? So to speak, I waited."

"Well, yeah."

"If the timing and direction of the eagle can be inferred, all you have to do is adjust the elevation angle and ignite. That could be shot down. But in reality, I think it happens only under really limited circumstances."

You say what I want.

"Who else has an opinion?

With that said, now the Heavenly Knight of the Rube family raised his hand.

Sure, I think he was quite a superior.

"In that fight, there were quite a few circumstances. First, that the sun cannot be used"

That day three days ago, it was clear.

With the sun on its back, it generally becomes a backlight and makes it difficult to see the eagle.

"The Hot Bridge is a bridge that stretches north and south. The sun moving from east to west was not available."

I wonder about that.

I thought in my heart.

Even as it stretches east and west, the bridge does not exist inside that the sun is coming on the bridge's extension line.

Also, the sun moves, so it depends on the time.

"We also needed to lower altitude and increase accuracy because the bridge width was too narrow to target. In other words, maintaining altitude and using the sun seems to make interception less likely."

Well, that concludes.

The bridge is about four meters wide, so from an altitude of about a hundred meters, it's pretty hard to aim for.

In the actual attack, there is no problem where it is somewhat uneven.

Because the combustible liquid is sprayed with bees, causing an extended burn.

It's best to hit the target, but even if not, some damage occurs.

But not for bridges.

If you don't let him hit you, he'll fall into the river.

Naturally, there won't be a fire extension or anything like that.

That would have made me want to lower my altitude and focus on precision.

"Those who have other opinions, objections are fine. Anything?"

That being said, there was no one to raise their hands.

Well, it's simple reason. No more.

"Okay, from me. I want the effective range of the cannon to be considered a distance of about a hundred steps on foot. Just so that in reality we take respite and throw it about a hundred and fifty steps high off the ground. When you return to your ranks, put up a sign at a distance of one hundred and fifty steps to understand the distance."

When it comes to one hundred and fifty steps, it's actually about a hundred meters.

A hundred steps, about sixty six meters.

"Why make room for one hundred and fifty steps. This is because shooting by long-barrelled artillery is believed to reach higher levels. Of course, we're talking about a single bullet, not a shotgun filled with small grains."

I'll keep talking.

"Yesterday, I did some experiments and came to the conclusion that it would be dangerous to shoot with a single bullet, even if it was more than two hundred steps. Of course, as you all know, the actual artillery is not the same as a strong bow, and it doesn't have the ability to kill at that distance."

When I stopped near Gino, I punched him in the chest, Don.

Strong enough not to bother.

"These blows occur. Even if the power attenuates and the lead balls get to this degree of strength, I don't know what will happen if they hit the steeply descending eagle from the front. It could break your bones, and if it hits your head, you might pass out."

Since there has never been any data on Wang Eagle being attacked in flight, there is no need to collect cases of what kind of injury he would have suffered if he had been attacked.

It's natural to start something new, but it was something else.

"Given that, it's hard to say it's safe to walk more than two hundred steps. - But distance doesn't just affect the power of the bullet. It also affects ballistics. Experiments have shown that if you take about one hundred and fifty steps of altitude, the actual ballistics will be considerably lower than the aim. I mean, normally you just aim and shoot, you just pass pretty underneath the eagle, and you don't hit it. This is why we made it a hundred and fifty steps at our leisure, number two."

Can I add one more thing?

"Nevertheless, it is also conceivable that in the task of destroying such things as the artillery at the time of the Great Fortress of Verdun, more than a hundred gunmen will be firing simultaneously. In that case, take more altitude, throw down the quantity and make it a sea of fire."

Okay, now I'm done with what I'm trying to say.

"You got it. Then the decision is tomorrow. Don't let everyone fail to prepare."

I then went into Kotsuraha's mansion and gave instructions for various tasks.

If I was writing at the desk in the office, the door would be knocked.

"Go ahead."

"Excuse me."

It was Gino Toga who came in saying that.

"Gino? Are you sure you want to stay free?

Gino is in the service of building up the Second Army and parts of the Bov family, but it was time to let the Wang Capital assemble.

"I'm in the process of doing my last finish. I'm busy, but I'm here today to find time."

"Well, sit down."

Gino recommended the chair because he remained standing.

"Excuse me."

That's what I say, sit on the couch for visitors.

"Well, I'm not anxious to see the battle of the Utans. But watch your escape. The soldiers must feel the war is imminent."

"I understand. Without delay."

"The example carriage, it's going to be one hundred and thirty eventually. Consider electing your crew."

"I have spared one hundred and eighty candidates"

"Right. Lai Lai"

Looks fine.

A person who thinks for himself if he asks, and does it quite well, is a convenient thing.

"By the way, it's an earlier mortar..."

"What?

"I thought the idea was interesting. It's just hard to be practical."

"That's not bad, but there are several technical challenges. It's hard to be practical."

I don't know who thought about it, but sooner or later the problem will emerge.

If you're going to waste money and people in that direction, it's a money making thing.

"Is it a technical challenge? If you don't mind, could you tell me?"

"First of all, the swirling is shit. We don't talk about that, so instead of fixing the foundation and the body, we need to make sure it turns like a powdered ground molar."

In other words, allow the funnel to rotate in such a way that it overlaps two.

It is most primitive to smooth them both and make them slip with oil, but if possible pinch the round bars in between at equal intervals so that they can roll over them.

"Right. It's too late to move it off the ground."

"The barrel needs to be a little longer, too."

"I heard it's technically difficult to lengthen the cannon casings,"

What do you know about it?

"Right. The great thing about mortars is that they can thicken the thickness of the flesh because of their short shells. Don't worry about rupturing."

The evolution of artillery is also a battle against rupture.

Meat thickness is thinned, lightened and cost cut while ensuring non-bursting strength.

If it is made into a long shell, the acceleration due to gas pressure is applied for that matter, and the bullet is loaded with kinetic energy.

However, as a result, it seems to be too blunt to handle on the battlefield, fortress, or ship, it is the end of the line.

To that end, they devise materials or allow the metal inside the cannon cavity itself to remain under stress that counteracts internal pressure.

In the case of mortars, few techniques are required for the absence of a shell.

"When it gets heavier than that, even horses won't be able to carry it..."

"Well, even when it comes to extending it, it's just a little bit. If you review the thickness of the meat, you won't have to gain so much weight."

Maybe it's all miscellaneous with the artisan experience and the mess.

If it's bad, it could be about two-thirds thick, but it's perfectly fine.

"The rest is bullets. Make it binary burst type."

"Two bursts...?

Gino looked surprised.

"You'll make a barrel of metal that fits perfectly into the cannon cavity. That makes it a shell saya."

"Ha."

"Put half the gunpowder in there and put on the ignition line. Put a shotgun in it from the top and cover it. Make the shell a little longer as the total length increases"

"I see… do you make the shell itself look like a small cannon"

Fast to understand.

"But what about ignition?

"When you fire the mortar, it will automatically ignite with a blast. Put the trigger on your butt."

"Oh...... I see"

Well, it's going to be a lot of work when it comes to actually making it.

At the very least, mortars… or anti-aircraft guns need to be of a standard common to all countries.

This one is on the side of dealing with it, so I won't take it seriously, but I don't feel there are so many technical barriers.

Maybe it will come out once it's actually made, but for now, there's nothing difficult with the native technology to make and test a prototype.

I don't have to fight those unscrupulous barriers that I can't make without rubber or that I have to look for new chemicals of a particular nature.

"If you determine the length of the fuse line, you can set it to explode in the air at about this height, right? For example, firing, ignited, bursting in the air in two seconds. Still enough, the assault altitude can be extended."

"Ha... well thought out"

After that, is it enough to make the ignition open (flint lock)?

This is not so much of a problem either, as it is only necessary to install the device.

"But if we go this far, we won't solve the fundamental problem. Doesn't make much sense."

"What is the fundamental problem?

"One shot would take some time to load. Even if the first wave can be prevented, there's nothing you can do if the second wave comes before loading"

I don't know how much money it would cost to deploy a bunch of units, and Dre and Dre shot the first wave...

The bullet itself would be quite expensive in the first place.

"The first one gets stuck and manoeuvres differently than a sudden descent to avoid shelling. And the main unit could break in from a different angle... or something like that. It's easy to deal with either way."

I guess it will be a genuine threat after the machine guns are formed.

Until we can do that, we'll be talking about a pretty future, though, because technical problems are creating huge mountain ranges.

If God gave me a set of tungsten tool steel cutting tools, it would be a lot easier to talk about.

"I see, I get it. You don't have to worry about it for the time being."

"For now."

"Is the rest of the problem, rather, on this side? The number of flame bottles produced…"

"Right. I thought I had a little more money left to sell to the general... but I couldn't collect that much"

Hi, they used it quite a bit in training.

"How many bottles are left now?

"It's like two thousand copies. Not a lot."

The oil well was buried in an accident, which caused a dramatic drop in output.

We're just finishing up a new well.

"I see...... well, I don't think it's much. Even if you could assault three people per bottle... six thousand people?"

The fact that you can kill three people with one flame bottle is a story if you hit it well, in fact, if you throw a hundred bottles at the same time, the harm radius overlaps, and it doesn't mean you can burn three people per bottle.

Six thousand is actually an unlikely ideal number, and in fact, four thousand would be a good place.

"If you're using it on people, don't be missing it"

In the case of the Rube family, we bought it ourselves, so we let it go because it's not from a muscle we can mouth out about how to use it.

"That would be why tomorrow's attack. I won't join you, but I wish you good luck."

I don't care if a man tells me.

"Oh. I'll do my best."

Well, I know it's going to work, but you don't know what's going to happen on the battlefield.

Suddenly dragons may appear, and novel anti-aircraft guns, like I said earlier, may come out with mountains.

If it's between the same Shans, I don't think they're going to have that ready, but the Klu aren't the ones who know what they're going to do.

"By the way, I'd like to ask you one more thing."

"What?

Is there anything else?

"It's about Master Terre."

Oh......

"Is that the point? What a waste of time."

I came all the way to Kotsuraha. I thought you were here to chat, but until now, the story seemed preposterous.

"No, it's never like that -"

Gino rushes to deny it, but doesn't think so.

My face was different when I cut out the story.

"What? Don't tell me you want me to make a match."

"No, I want to ask you how you are now..."

I haven't made a public statement, but I'm not hiding it, so if it's hard to hear, I feel like I should look into it, but I guess there's a lot going on.

Without someone like an intelligence agent, this kind of investigation can be difficult to investigate.

"I'm in the king's capital."

"Really...? If possible, could you evacuate me to Karakumi?

After all, as a former Kirchner, there seems to be something I don't know.

I've already crushed the Tuni Chartres.

"Hmm... I don't know, because you're in the position that I don't care. It is Terre's will to be in the king's capital. I'll give you a hand if you want to evacuate, but I'm not going to tell you to evacuate from here. I don't care what you say."

I don't care if he dies as a result.

"Well, for what you go and persuade in person, nothing's wrong. Why don't we go and talk about it? I'll write to you so I can see you."

"... let me do that"

"But I don't think they'll respond to evacuation."

When I say that, as I add,

"Why is that?

And Gino said, looking honestly strange.

I guess it's because I'm in love with Dora.

"I've been in love with Dora Godwin since the retreat two years ago."

When I said that, Gino looked a little funny with her mouth open pocan.

"Teru. Dora's not in love."

I don't know what the current situation is.

"Dora Godwin is from the First Army? Your Excellency's friend's?

"Oh, I don't know, but they had odd connections. I'm in love. I don't know if it's gonna stick."

"Ha... Really?"

The sister of an admired relative gets married. I'm shocked. He looks like that.

Oh, my God.

I wouldn't have been personally in love......

I really don't understand the psychology of the one with a strong sense of respect for royalty.

"What do we do? If you don't want to see me, I won't write to you."

"No, I'll see you. Best regards,"

Gino lowered his head deeply at his best angle today.

I guess this was the real deal.
