Chapter 246: Queen Leila’s Resolve (3)
“Rick, we’ve got per, Tommy immediately ran back to Rick
“Great Then, let’s do it”
Rick laughed excitedly as he turned to shout at the soldiers
“Carry that and follow us Quickly!”
“Yes, sir!”
The soldiers ran after thee barrels of liquor on their backs
“The siege escalade is co, surround the entrance and respond!”
The hts shouted loudly as they co out co of concern
‘If the Republican Masters coest headache with escalades was that it allowed the people with overwhelth to climb over the walls too easily
In fact, the best thing they could do if a Master was to climb up over the as to use their own lives to endure and drag things out until their Masters arrived
But even with that, there was no guarantee that it could be done
Then…
“Sanson,[1] get out of the way!”
“What… Rick?”
Because he had also trained with the Northern Knights under Duke Palan, he i the catapult”
“Huh? Yeah, go ahead That doesn’t matter, but…”
“Quickly!”
Rick aimed the catapult at the escalade Then…
“Fire!”
With his signal, the large barrels hit the escalades
Smack! Squelch!
The barrels broke as it hit the escalades and black liquid spilled out of it
“Fire arrows!”
Rick shouted loudly as fire arroere aimed at the escalade
“Fire arrows? Rick[2] even if we shot a fire arrow at that, it’s so big it won’t burn easily…”
Pffffft!
“Huh?!”
The Northern Knight who had been talking was shocked The moment Rick’s arrow hit the escalade, it burst into flames
“Awesome”
Rick clenched his fist while the Republican soldiers ere in the reatly flustered
“F… Fire!”
“Quick! Put it out!”
“damn it We soaked it in water, so how…”
“It… it won’t go out! This fire… keugh!”
The escalade burned quickly
When Ricked turned his head, he saw a si and Republican soldiers juround in a state of panic
“Rick, what did you do?”
“My Lord told me that since the escalade is made out of wood, it’s natural to respond to it with fire”
“No, I know that But there’s no way it would burn that easily with just one fire arrow They probably soaked it in water, and the soldiers would probably try to put it out so…”
“hell, I don’t know We don’t have time for this All I know is that the oil My Lord told me about is unique”
“Huh?”
“It’s soround before My Lord called it petroleum From what he said, it’s when animal bones are liquefied… da behind two barrels of oil If they set up another escalade, respond to it, you got it?”
“Huh? Yes, understood”
“Guard it carefully! Once that catches on fire, it won’t go out!”
“Yes, sir!”
And Rick went elsewhere and started to do the sa escalades on fire with the oil
It had been a while since Milton had discovered petroleu the country, he had received a report that black water was coone to see for hi out
If this had been modern Earth, it would have been a windfall, but here, he didn’t knohat to do Since there wasn’t any knowledge or technology to refine and use the oil, all he could do was collect as ht be any future usage
Only Rick and Tommy, as his closest aides, were told to use it if there ever was a time where fire poas needed He had also told theo out easily, so handle it carefully Because it was so dangerous, Milton hadn’t taken it with him on the expedition and left it stored under the palace Yesterday, Rick and Toh!”
“Fire… the fire won’t go out!”
“Aaaaaaack!!”
Along with the sound of hu flesh everywhere
“Who knew there was a thing like that?”
Siegfriedup in flames
“Your Excellency, all the escalades have been destroyed The fla to spread, so it’s difficult for the soldiers to advance as well, sir”
“Sir, the best option seeain after the fire has burnt out”
All his aides recofried had a faint smile as he answered them
“It’s definitely different without Milton Forrest How clumsy”
His aides seemed like they didn’t understand Their soldiers were currently burning to death, so as Siegfried s?
He soon answered their unspoken question
“We will be collapsing their walls today Jake!”
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
“Give General McCarthy Ghost Groups 6 and 7 We’re breaching the walls”
“Understood, sir”
As Jake ifried’s aides spoke up urgently
“Fuhrer, the fla, even if it’s Captain McCarthy, it’ll be too difficult, sir”
“If ere to use the escalades, then I’d agree”
“Sir?”
“Calamity and opportunity are two sides of the safried pointed confidently towards McCarthy’s group heading towards the walls
General McCarthy Once, he was Duke McCarthy O’Brian of the Strabus Kingdo two Ghosts groups towards the walls As he fried had told him to head for the walls and not use the escalade
