Chapter 109 Pre-Preparations (1/2)

The tieon expedition was just one day away Roland and Bernir were both inside the workshop while Agni was keeping watch outside

There was souild today before the nobles arrived He needed to meet up with his teiven a specific job that would fit this mission The party leader had apparently arrived and he would be assigning the positions

This brought Roland back to that one other large expedition that he was a part of That tiated to the backline and placed in a team with lower-level adventurers While this time his worth had increased he wasn’t sure where he would end up in

There was a reason why he wasn’t worrying asskills, it would be counterproductive of him to send him towards his demise That’s why a position in the backline wasout to the city there were a few things that he and Bernir needed to discuss He would be leaving together with Agni for a feeeks Apparently, the noble youths needed to complete some sort of exaed a that this kingdo battles

This wasn’t an era of peace and the nobles would be the future coenerals Everyone needed to be able to protect themselves or at least kno to use their troops and ration their supplies

From what Roland knew, he and the adventurers were uide the people inside andThe nobles from the academy would have their own soldiers and provisions that they needed to figure out how to use

Only when soet involved They were there to lure away any potential threats that the nobles wouldn’t be able to handle Things tended to go towards the unexpected in his life Even at that previous expedition, he didn’t think that he would get buried in the ainst a tier 3 o over this one last time…”

Roland handed Bernir an irenade launcher’ that he had built throughout this month It did not look like a basic tube now but as a proper ranged weapon, not like one that you would find in this world though

The e-sized cylinder It looked like an enlarged revolver cylinder with six chambers It wasn’t quite like it as there was a rip of this launcher Bernir would need to crank it tooff one of the runic grenades that Roland had prepared beforehand

The handle washalf dwarf left the young man with thick hands so even if Roland tried it he would be able to shoot this weapon

There was a secondary grip at the front part that connected to the barrel It was there to aid with the ai as the weapon had some kickback to it As with all of his creations this one also had son

They were all green as instead of sunpowder this one operated e was actually lessened with the wind pressure rune than if he used a small explosion-type rune instead

For the ammo, he used small runic scrolls with various spells It was all set up that when the orb that the scroll was in collided with so it would be activated Most of thee with shrapnel that ca But there were various spell combinations that Roland had shown Bernir, if he was smart about it he could clear out more enemies with less

Roland would like to have this weapon spin the chaure out the un nut in his previous life, so he ith a more mechanical approach and a crank that spun the cylinders around instead The thing that he un

He even received the ‘Cannon craftsman’ title for it Maybe if he was able tosih he wasn’t sure if he wanted to go in this direction He already had reusable runic equipment that didn’t require him to create reusable ammo Someone like Bernir was more suited for that path choice as he didn’t have any battle skills to speak off

“You sure cos Boss”

Bernir held the portable ‘cannon’ in his hands and pointed it in a direction He was a tier 2 blacksmith so it wasn’t that hard for him to use it with one hand either

“Remember to only use this when you really need it and keep your distance Most people should just run after a fearning shots”

“Aye, I’d be running for the ainst me…”

Bernir had used this launcher a few tiround with holes fro of it After sootten the basic cannoneer skill This skill slightly boosted a person’s aim whenever they used cannon-type weapons Apparently, the Aret that skill

“You’ll also need this, remember to bury theni would be away for the tier of the Ruby Wolf to set off the traps After Roland was gone, Bernir was tasked to place these scrolls around the house and mostly close to where the fence was The moment someone jumped over it they would set it off

The fence would also be charged up with soive everyone a little jolt to keep thehtly afraid that soe craftsman a visit

He didn’t want to have any child deaths on his conscience If they decided to ju signs and after passing the electric fence, then it was on theth of the er his assistant and his own home

“Aye, what about these?”

Bernir took out so that looked like a deck of cards These were the saiven to Bernir

“Use them if the runic launcher fails you, remember even if they are scrolls they still require so the tiny scrolls in his pocket The scrolls would be a last-ditch effort before an eneot into close proximity Roland even explained a few tactics that he used when he was still a runic est downside here was that Bernir would not enhance these runic scrolls and would not be able to activate them as much as Roland could

“It would be best to use one of the cae spells and then just run, don’t try to be a hero”

Bernir rubbed his nose while Roland reminded him that this was only for protection He feared that his assistant would try to defend this house to the bitter end After getting beaten up by those adventurers he felt like Bernir now had a chip on his shoulder, one that wouldn’t go away unless he defeated so the escape tunnel if there is no other choice”

Through theit in the process Roland had also implemented an escape tunnel that would lead theh ti himself out or use an explosive scroll

There were also other defensive items and also a detection device that could be used to check for ene that Bernir was already aware of so there was no reason to double-check

“Boss… I’ve beento ask you “

“Yes?”

Roland looked at Bernir that was trying not to avoid that piercing gaze”

“Ah, never mind… I’ll ask you when you return Be sure to come back in one piece, I can’t run this workshop without you!”

“”

Roland just nodded while also packing up soh some modifications and he also scribed himself a nice batch of scrolls

“Now help et that ni into his, without hih the leather”

He wasn’t the only one that would be using runic equipiven soeneral weak points like the neck, underbelly, and the chest area while leaving the legs unprotected Agni needed thee

This wolf arht and was hter but less resistant than deep steel Just like Roland’s it ca out With the Mystical ni was able to use iven a protective shi+eld along with a boost to his speed

“I’ll try, boss, but no pro up in his work suit Roland headed into the city His destination being the adventurer’s guild On the inside, he was greeted by the usual smell of unwashed ht direction which was theparty that he would be a part of
