Chapters Chapter 59. The War Begins (1/2)

“Buy 300 soldiers as well as two D-ranked magic cannons and four artillery machines.”

“Magic cannons?”

“Are they similar to the cannons on Earth?”

“As if. As a D-ranked unit, its range and damage are low, but it is still the best card that we have.”

Compared to the cannons on Earth, Pangaea’s ones were definitely lackl.u.s.ter, but it still had a significant effect, especially in the low levels.

The higher-ranked cannons were definitely able to rival those of Earth.

An example of this was Hecate. She had a shooting range of 10km with 74 cannons that could shoot from the air. This was one of her famed attacks, one that she self-proclaimed as “Fire”.

“Okay, got it.”

“And add in two battle ogres as well as eight troll guards.”

“Since we bought some already, isn’t it better to just buy more cannons?”

“There is a limit of how many you can buy depending on the level of the Lord. The maximum you can buy right now should be two.”

“Oh.”

Lee Chae-Rin nodded, understanding the situation.

“This… is so expensive…”

Lee Chae-Rin’s eyes widened as she looked at the price of the magic cannons.

• Magic Cannon

Type: Magic weapon

*Limit of bullets due to level (max 10)

*There are no limits to how many cannons you can have if you take them

*Can be further upgraded with gold.

“You should use them after upgrading them first.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Get ready. You need to make sure that the cannons are covered with something. If our enemies see it, it would be troublesome.”

After Lee Chae-Rin left the war room, Kang Chul-In started thinking.

A war that’s like a real war…. It’s been some time.

Wars in Pangaea were vastly different from the ones on Earth.

The army, made up of both humans and monsters, fought against enemies and also used magically loaded weapons to shoot from far away.

And not only that, but there were also magicians like Nilus that made a huge difference.

However, the true key factor and “flowers of war” were superhumans like Kang Chul-In.

If someone was over Level 100, they could definitely influence the battlefield hugely.

A great example of this was Kang Chul-In and Dorian, who had changed almost impossible fights to ones that they won with their sheer strength.

There was also a time when Kang Chul-In had destroyed one of Rothschild’s fortress’s halls all by himself and was known as a legend after.

Kang Chul-In could still remember the excitement he felt back then. Maybe he went to war to experience those feelings again.

Of course, the difference of strength between the old and new Kang Chul-In was huge, but the fact that he still roamed the battlefield remained the same.

“Mr. Chul-In, when shall we move our army?”

After she had gotten the job of getting rid of the guerilla squad from Kang Chul-In, Lee Chae-Rin seemed impatient to move.

“There will be a signal.”

“Signal? Will Podolski send us a signal?”

“This isn’t Earth. There is no way for Podolski to be able to do that.”

“That’s true…”

“The signal will be given by the enemies.”

“What?”

Lee Chae-Rin couldn’t understand Kang Chul-In’s words.

The enemies would give them a signal?

That didn’t make sense to her. It wasn’t as if the enemies were going to say “we’re having a war!” to them in a welcoming manner. To her, Kang Chul-In’s words didn’t make sense.

“Look at the sky, and you will get the answer.”

Kang Chul-In sipped the wine of the Dorado territory and pointed towards the sky.

“The… sky?”

Lee Chae-Rin followed Kang Chul-In’s fingertips and looked up.

“… My eyes hurt.”

“Should we try using Cosmic Force instead?”

“No money. If we use money like that, we will go bankrupt in no time. Even you shouldn’t have money right now.”

“True…”

Lee Chae-Rin had spent nearly all of her gold buying the troops just now. If she was unable to take back Nidavellir, she would also become like Kang Chul-In and become a poor Lord.

Time passed until it became noon.

“That’s the signal,” Kang Chul-In said.

“The signal?”

“There.”

Kang Chul-In pointed towards scouting hawks that were flying through the air.

And there weren’t just one or two of them.

There were almost ten of them. It was definitely to check her territory.

“Because they are having an all-out war, they are afraid of their backside,” Kang Chul-In explained.

“Then…”

“They are going to fight soon. How bad would your territory look in their eyes?”

“Right!”

Listening to Kang Chul-In’s explanations, Lee Chae-Rin thought of the state of things in Dorado right now.

Hobos lying on the streets, corpses everywhere, soldiers without discipline, burning buildings. Everything would seem bad to them.

“They would be able to think that we are out of action and go to war with a calm state of mind.”

“Then…”

“Then we strike them in the back, just like you said?”

“Exactly.”

Kang Chul-In nodded.

“Let’s go. We will let them taste hell.”

I will do it, Mr. Chul-In!

Although Lee Chae-Rin was nervous because this was her first battle, she thought of the stable man who never swayed as well as the man she now loved. She clenched her teeth.
