Everyone has a plan... (10)
#9. Their Situation: The Situation of the Black Anvil Clan
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of iron and stone colliding.
“This is the last one!”
“Just a little more effort!”
“The stone is too hard! It seems to contain ore, so we should try targeting another place...”
“Shut up! We don’t have much time left! The five days we originally promised have already passed and there’s not much left of the one extra day we got! Here! If we can’t break through here, we can never be liberated!”
“Ah, I understand!”
At the shouting of the dwarf Elder whose face was flushed red, the dwarves holding pickaxes started swinging their pickaxes.
“Damn...”
Seeing that, the dwarf Elder looked down at his slightly trembling hands.
“Did I rest too long...”
Although still active as a blacksmith, decades had passed since he retired as a miner.
Striking iron with a hammer and striking rock with a pickaxe look similar but are completely different tasks.
The motions for tempering and the motions for destruction are totally different.
“I’ve grown old.”
Just staying up for five days straight, yet his hands already lacked strength.
The dwarf Elder smiled bitterly as he felt the passage of time.
“Everyone move aside!”
“Here, Elder!”
“Dieres?”
Dieres, one of the dwarf Elders collapsed first.
He appeared holding a pickaxe.
“I collapsed first!”
Boom!
“Careful, Elder!”
“The tunnel will collapse!”
Seeing Dieres charge forward with all his might, the other dwarves cried out in surprise.
But.
“We’ll die anyway if we can’t break through!”
The other dwarves couldn’t stop Dieres who was rapidly gaining speed.
“Break!”
“Ga, Ganggi!”
Ganggi, the symbol of the Swordsmaster.
The moment it manifested on the pickaxe.
Kwaang!
With a massive explosive sound, the last boulder blocking the dwarves was shattered.
“Ha, was it black iron?”
Seeing a fragment of the rare ore black iron, the dwarf Elder smiled.
A mineral that’s so hard to come across, right below their village where they lived.
“Is this good luck?”
A rock so tough that even veteran dwarf miners struggled.
While this section may have been special, if the entire surrounding area had this level of hardness, they would be able to get their hands on a top-grade black iron mine.
“First we have to reclaim the village. No, we need to be liberated first, right?”
The dwarf Elder who sighed deeply stared beyond the shattered wall.
“Still not there yet.”
Although the rocks were removed, they had yet to reach their destination.
“This is just the beginning.”
They had solved the most difficult problem, but many cumbersome tasks still remained.
“Prepare the magic.”
What blocked the dwarves’ path was a weak earthen wall.
It could be dug faster than rock but had the downside of easily crumbling.
“Understood!”
“As usual, dig in shifts of six teams.”
“Yes, Elder!”
One group of dwarves started digging away soil with pickaxes while another group began hardening the soil, and two dwarves used wind elemental magic to circulate the air.
After 30 minutes.
The first team to deplete all their magic took a break and was replaced by the next team, then the team after that.
As the sixth team exited, the first team re-entered, continuously digging away at the tunnel.
And then.
Fwoosh!
Beyond the pickaxe, a ray of light illuminated the dwarf miner.
“Lig, light!”
“We made it! Success!”
“Ah ah, finally... finally...!”
4 hours and 30 minutes after removing the stone walls.
The dwarves could return to their hometown.
“Alright then...”
They were quite a distance from the village where the Black Anvil clan lived but there’s no way they could miss seeing the massive ramparts.
Nodding at their greatest masterpiece, the dwarves who saw the world filled with light shouted.
“Time to bolt!”
“Yes, Elder!”
Beyond those ramparts prowled the sinister army of evil god.
The black dots flying around the ramparts like flies could be none other than the sinister army of evil god greedily eyeing the ramparts.
They couldn’t afford to linger around and become part of the sinister army of the evil god.
They who continuously carried out the evil-handed Hectare’s commands, along with his evil disciples.
Now they needed... Freedom.
The freedom to live once more as artisans, as blacksmiths!
“Let’s go!”
Leaving behind the bright world, the dwarves re-entered the darkness.
“...Yeah. Don’t get hit by the metal bat.”
“I’ll just send my men from behind, so I’ll be fine.”
“I guess so.”
Watching the back of the nodding hero, Mirea grabbed her throbbing heart.
“How long has it been...”
The fear of facing death.
Mirea’s expression was full of strange anticipation.
“Okay.”
The divided troops into three begin to move.
One is the hero and a very small number of troops.
Their purpose is to request the Hero Alliance, the Kingdom Alliance, and the Religion Alliance to attack the Demon King.
The second are those moving through the secret passage made by the dwarves.
They will secretly infiltrate the village of the Black Anvil clan.
Disguised there as citizens and soldiers of the Kingdom of Beresseryl, they will find their target.
And.
“The opponent is the weapon of the Black Anvil clan. An ordinary human can sweep away the army of evil god with this weapon.”
“Made in Black Anvil...”
“Gulp.”
Dozens of people dressed in black were looking up at the huge castle walls.
“Even if it’s us, we could die if we get hit. So be careful. We’ll be liberated after this is over, so it’d be a waste to die, right?”
Their number was the smallest, but they were also the best of the Ast kidnapping group.
Each one was a sword master and a great sorcerer. Or summoners at a similar level to great sorcerers.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Mirea didn’t completely trust the Black Anvil clan.
The instructor she knew could have already detected the existence of the tunnels.
The image of the instructor holding the metal bat in the narrow passage vividly came to Mirea’s mind.
That’s why they decided to infiltrate using fair means.
“What’s the signal?”
“Not yet.”
“I see?”
The Demon King attacks.
That was the signal.
Boom! Thump! Kuuuuuu!
“Splendid.”
The loud noises coming from afar.
Bigger than the explosions of Beresseryl Kingdom army weapons that she often heard, a smile appeared on Mirea’s lips.
“Now it begins.”
“Yes!”
Using magic to quickly and stealthily climb up the wall and onto the top of the castle walls.
There were quite a lot of soldiers in the rear, but...
“Let’s go down.”
“Roger.”
...Ordinary soldiers couldn’t notice their movement.
As they quickly dropped down below the castle walls and hid their bodies in the shadows.
-C, Captain!
“Already found us?”
As an urgent voice echoed through the communication artifact.
Mirea took out her magic tool.
“What’s going on?”
-Th, That’s...
Hearing Mirea’s composed voice, the member stuttered.
-Si, Sir Ast!
“You found him?”
-We f, found him but...
“I see? So where is he?”
-...!
Mirea’s expression, which had a smile while holding the communication artifact, froze as it was.
“What... Did you say?”
-The Beresseryl Kingdom army opened the gates, and Sir Ast is at the vanguard...
Thud.
Mirea dropped her magic tool and started to turn pale.
“What, what is this?”
The person she knew would not do such a thing.
Yet if he did this!
“Does that mean we can get out through there...”
Would that be possible?
-Captain, what should we do!
The member’s flustered voice was heard from the fallen magic tool.
‘I’m the captain. The captain. Captain!’
“First, observe the situation. It might not be real.”
‘It could be an impersonator. Or it could be real, targeting that possibility... Then again, the impersonator itself could be...’
With her mind complicated, Mirea could make only one judgement.
“We’ll go there too.”
First thing’s first, she had to check with her own eyes.
