112. Love’s Secret Meeting.
Peaceful enemy territory today too.
Reconnaissance is essential before an operation.
In the dark of night, my hands, wearing black dimensional gloves, entered the Imperial Army camp without difficulty.
Chuck, chuck, chuck!
“No problem on patrol!”
That’s too much!
I came in secretly······.
As Phelps said, they were only focused on ground reconnaissance.
Of course, there are also aerial magic knights patrolling the skies occasionally, but they are rarely seen.
‘But there really are a lot of troops.’
This was the largest group of imperial troops, and there were many sentries guarding it, perhaps because Princess Scarlett was there.
And there were about 50 tents and pavilions.
In short, this was the base camp of the Lacrosse Empire.
Since Phelps and the sharp-eyed Kalin had already reconnoitred from high above, they had a rough idea of the structure here.
‘The Seven Princesses’ tent was said to be behind the supply warehouse.’
Dododo! Dododo dododo!
He moved to the supply warehouse, moving his five fingers diligently.
The downside of Dimensional Armor is that it is slow.
You said it was the biggest tent, so that must be it.
I found the supply depot without difficulty.
There are two soldiers guarding it.
First, I went around the warehouse and sneaked inside.
‘Huh? The quantity of goods is less than I thought?’
The quartermaster’s quarters were very large, but there wasn’t much stuff in them.
In one corner were stacks of military supplies, such as ammunition, and in another corner were stacks of about thirty boxes of canned goods.
There was also a water jug filled with clean water.
Even if you add them all up, it only takes up about 1/8 of the warehouse.
This supply warehouse only has enough for a few days. The rest must be in the Seven Princesses’ subspace warehouse!
“insect!”
At the sound of the sentry’s greeting, I quickly climbed up onto the ammunition box and put my hands down.
Two people came inside.
“Just replenish five boxes of ammunition, three boxes of wine, and five boxes of cigarettes.”
“I can give you ammunition, but I can only give you one case of wine and three cases of cigarettes.”
“What? I was supposed to send supplies to the Eastern Base tomorrow, and they also said they’d send a case of wine and two cases of cigarettes!”
“I’m sorry. We have been ordered to refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol as the expedition will be long.”
“Oh my! Major Slaus, are you really going to do this? Aren’t we from the same ridiculous territory?”
“But there’s nothing I can do. It’s an order from above······”
“No, just give me one more box.”
The lieutenant colonel was addressing a quartermaster wearing the rank of major.
“And aren’t we alumni of the Imperial Military Academy?”
“If you look at it that way, half of the imperial officers are from the same school.”
“Oh! Don’t do that. Save some face for me.”
Then the lieutenant colonel thrust something into the major’s pocket.
“It’s weak.”
“What, something like this······. Then this is just this once.”
“Thank you.”
“Please wait a moment.”
Shhhh!
A five-meter-long subspace warehouse opened inside the warehouse.
Then the supply officer went inside, and after a while he got on a small truck and came out of the subspace.
The truck contained five cases of ammunition, two cases of wine, and four cases of cigarettes.
“Come outside.”
“yes!”
The sentry came in.
“Fly this!”
“yes!”
The sentries began to move the boxes.
“Watch out! If you break even one bottle of liquor or lose even one pack of cigarettes, you will be shot.”
“yes!”
After unloading all the items, Major Slaus drove a small truck into the subspace and came out a moment later.
“It’s over now.”
“When I get back, buy me a drink.”
“I have to buy the alcohol.”
“Should we play a game of poker today too?”
“I’m sorry. I have to go to the western base early tomorrow to replenish supplies.”
“Huh! You’ve had a hard time too.”
“What can I do? Two of the supply officers are dead, so I have to run harder.”
“How’s the atmosphere at the western base?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. The atmosphere there is completely different from here. They say they only eat and hunt.”
“This is terrible.”
The two went outside talking.
‘There are two people with subspace storage!’
This base isn’t called a base camp for nothing.
Here they were distributing supplies to other units.
The Empire dispatched four supply officers with subspace warehouses.
It seems like they’ve been hunting here for a long time, trying to get dimensional cores and increase the experience of their aerial magic knights.
But since the two are dead, if we just kidnap the supply officer and the 7th princess······.
‘Then I guess I should take that guy with me too.’
I quickly climbed down from the box and followed the supply officer.
The dimensional cores and elven relics will be in the Seven Princesses’ subspace warehouse, but most of the supplies will be in Major Slaus’ subspace.
If we’re going to raid them all anyway, raiding them both would be a huge setback for their expedition.
A moment later I saw Slaus enter the tent.
‘Shall we begin now?’
I appeared from behind the tent.
It’s not like the uniform has changed.
Anyone could see that I was now a lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Army.
[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.3) skill.]
I went into the supply officer’s tent.
“who are you?”
“Major Slaus, don’t you even salute your superior?”
“insect!”
puck!
“Cough!”
Received before the supply post collapsed.
I took out the mirroring face necklace from the workshop, put it around the supply officer’s neck, and pressed the button. When you copy a face while fainting, the pupils are not exactly the same, but it’s night now, so it’s okay.
I copied my face and wore a mirrored face necklace around my neck.
When I pressed the button, I was now Major Slaus in plain sight.
Next, he opened the water bottle on his waist.
Gulp gulp gulp!
As I poured the water jug, the high-level water spirit Puke appeared inside.
Puke transformed into the form of Iris and stared at me.
But then he noticed my dimensional energy aura and saluted me.
“Kkuit!”
“Yeah, it’s Kkuit.”
I accepted the salute.
If I don’t salute him, he gets upset and won’t listen to me all day.
What kind of superior spirit is like a child?
“Puke. Black!”
“Kkuit!”
Puke’s body color instantly changed to a deep black.
This guy was a very unusual spirit.
Puke could change into any color and even fly.
Perhaps he gained that ability by absorbing the dimensional core.
“Here, grab this guy and take him to the sky! Iris will be waiting.”
“Kkuit!”
I saluted again.
Puke wrapped his arms around the supply officer and then his body floated up.
“Ah! Leave some room to breathe.”
“Kkuit!”
I went out first.
After looking around, he sent Puke up into the sky.
Even if you look around, you will rub your own eyes.
Because it would just look like a black shadow.
And then headed straight to the Seven Princesses’ tent.
***
Two escort magic knights were guarding the tent of the Scarlet Seventh Princess.
As I approached, the magic knights snickered.
‘What? Have they found out already?’
[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.3) skill.]
I have to finish him off with my dagger without making any noise······.
It was time to get closer and pull out the dagger.
“Hey! Slaus, is today the day?”
“yes?”
“Did the princess call you?”
What does this mean?
The princess calls the supply officer in the middle of the night?
“That’s right.”
I answered first.
“The lights went out a little while ago. Come on in.”
The two escorts not only made way for me, but they also smoked cigarettes and moved on!
Could this be it?
The royal family’s norigae?
Or are they secretly in love with each other?
What does it matter?
I didn’t see any blood, so I’m thankful.
Somehow things seem to be going well.
I woke up the sleeping Scarlet Princess.
“Huh? Who are you?”
“I’m going. Slaus.”
“Slaus? I’m not calling you today······.”
puck!
I finished it in one go with ease.
I stuck my head out of the tent with the unconscious 7th princess at my side.
And I looked around and at the sky.
It’s not like there are no sentries in the sky.
And when no one was in sight, it flew up quietly.
High, very high.
And then he left the Imperial Army camp with Iris, who was waiting.
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
We entered a large cave where the agents were waiting.
“Hurry up! You never know when the Imperials might start searching for you two.”
Phelps asked with a puzzled look.
“But why two?”
“They both have subspace warehouses.”
“ah!”
Duncan first copied the 7th Princess’ subspace warehouse skill and opened a 10-meter-wide subspace entrance.
Duncan now had his copy skill at level 3, so he could interfere with the spells of Awakened beings within 100 meters and copy their skills.
Then, he moved the four steel battle dolls that were to carry the items first, and then he himself went into the subspace warehouse.
After a while.
A large truck pulled out.
Phelps also opened the entrance to a 10-meter-wide subspace warehouse.
Since his subspace warehouse was also level 3, the space inside the warehouse increased enormously. Phelps got on the large truck that Duncan had gotten off and drove it into his subspace warehouse.
And then Ensign Duncan, who had just gotten out of the truck, approached me.
“Here they are. 13 small dimensional cores.”
“As expected, Scarlett has it all.”
I received the dimensional core and placed it in the alchemist’s workshop.
There are now 28 small dimensional cores!
I felt like I got rich for a moment.
It was when Duncan and Phelps had been in and out of each other’s subspace warehouses a dozen times.
The 7th princess woke up.
“Ahem! Where am I······.”
puck!
Iris knocked her out again.
“Keep going!”
Brrrrrr!
How many items are in that warehouse?
Duncan and Phelps went in and out of the subspace warehouse endlessly.
Then the day dawned.
“Wow! My warehouse is half full.”
Major Phelps shook his head.
“You asked when we would be able to fill up the large warehouse, but it was done in an instant.”
“I didn’t have time to organize it, so I just poured it out on the floor and piled it up.”
“There’s nothing we can do. We’ll sort this out later with Duncan and the steel battle dolls when we have time.”
“Phew! That must be it.”
Phelps, just hold on a little longer.
If I become an S-rank and open the Abyss Gate, I will be able to draw souls into the dimensional marionette steel dolls in my workshop.
Then, instead of a steel fighting doll that simply follows orders, a steel fighting doll that is as smart as a human is born.
Then it will be easy to organize the subspace warehouse.
I don’t know, but Phelps’ subspace warehouse must be a mess right now.
Brrrrrr!
Duncan came out.
“Is it over now?”
“I think I still have to go back and forth twenty more times.”
“What? This is really gross. This won’t work. Let’s get out of here. Everyone, let’s go west!”
“yes!”
We continued moving west.
And when I entered the first labyrinth gate that night, I entered the gorilla monster’s nest where I had stayed for a while.
“Continue working here.”
“yes!”
First, the Seven Princesses’ subspace warehouse was emptied, and then it was Slaus’s turn.
Brrrrrr! Squeak!
Duncan got out of the truck with wide eyes.
“Oh no. There’s more stuff in this subspace.”
“More?”
Major Slaus’s level 3 subspace warehouse was nothing short of a legion-sized supply depot.
There were weapons and ammunition, shells, horsepower trucks and horsepower batteries, alcohol and cigarettes, food, tents, awnings, and even a tramcar.
The tank was probably carrying Quartermaster Slaus.
Because an important supply convoy might die as soon as they enter the labyrinth gate. Ah! Two of them are already dead.
While Phelps and Duncan were struggling, I took out the Imperial tracked tank and examined it.
Veronica, who was next to me, said.
“I can feel the dimensional energy inside.”
“yes?”
The orbital tank contained dimensional energy batteries rather than magic batteries.
‘When did they develop this?’
Certainly, the Empire’s technological prowess was advanced.
An orbital gigantic vessel with a small dimensional core lasts for ten years.
However, only one could be operated.
However, if you create and charge a dimensional energy battery, the energy will run out quickly, but one small dimensional core could operate at least several hundred orbital tanks.
‘We need to make this as soon as possible!’
I had to tell Archduke Harry about this right away.
But if you ask where I got the Imperial Dimensional Battery, what would you say?
I’ll have to think about that.
The driver’s seat inside the tank was not much different from that of a tracked tank.
‘This is definitely not something I made recently.’
It was built long ago by someone who had obtained the blueprints or knew that such an orbital device existed.
Looking at things like this, the Emperor of the Empire is a mysterious figure.
Are you really a reincarnation?
I really wanted to meet you at least once.
In this way, the power of the empire was increasing day by day.
There are even knights of the Airborne Magic Knights storming the Labyrinth Gate······.
Still, I did a good job of keeping myself in check.
Just imagine, Named and Elite-level Aerial Magic Knights training here for months to catch and defeat S- and A-rank dimensional monsters!
The gap between us and them will only widen further.
But they will have to leave the gate soon.
Because I took it all out.
It took another full day to move everything from the subspace warehouse of the Slaus supply store.
And the food and some supplies were placed in Stella’s subspace warehouse.
“Major Slaus! Release this! I forgive you all!”
The 7th princess, with her arms and legs tied and her eyes covered, shouted from the corner.
Iris, who was watching this, stood up from her seat, walked over and struck the nape of Sudo’s neck.
Thud! Thud!
‘When the Seven Princesses wake up, their bodies will hurt a little.’
So the work on Slaus’ subspace warehouse was also completed.
Now, only trash remains in the subspace of the two people.
“Chief, what should we do with these two?”
I looked at the two people who were tied up and passed out.
