The Immortal Genius Spearman (144)
Heinel’s forest cottage.

This was the place where even high-ranking nobles could not enter without permission.

And Heinel returned there again.

He looked at the Philipp in front of him and asked.

“What did you ask me to find out?”

“It was a deeper connection than I thought.”

“Can you explain briefly?”

In an atmosphere different from usual, Philip nodded and said.

“It seems like the first contact was made three years ago, right after Damien enlisted in the military.”

Philip began the story of how Damien and the Hamel Group first met, and how Ercal had given them exclusive operating rights and supplied the 6th Legion.

The Hamelin merchants had already become one of the most influential merchants in the Baroque kingdom, ranking among the top three.

And that explosive growth took just three years.

During those three years, the existence of Damien was deeply embedded in me.

“Furthermore, we recently discovered a master named Torel in Miltobern and started investing there, and we were growing a huge amount of wheat in the southern part of the Baroque Kingdom.”

Even Torel of Miltobern, though not a wheat farmer, was associated with Damian.

“Are you saying that Damien is moving the top?”

“You can’t see it that way, but it seems clear that they are partners. In fact, it’s true that Damien has achieved tremendous growth by pushing what he has earned as merit to the Hamel Group.”

But this part cannot be viewed negatively.

“There is even talk of shifting the supply delivery of the entire military to the Hamel Group. This is because their performance has been outstanding.”

“then…….”

Heinel closed his eyes.

I was quite interested in Damien in connection with the last incident.

There is no exact basis, but if you guide me a little better… … .

“Do you think my thoughts are too far-fetched?”

“Apart from that thought, I think his accomplishments and talents are real.”

Even the very cautious Philip acknowledged Damien’s talent.

then…….

“Try putting a chimney in the Hamelin top.”

“Okay, I understand. If there’s anything important we need to discuss, please let me know.”

Heinel shook his head at Philip’s words.

“No, there’s nothing to emphasize, just… … .”

Philip nodded at Heinel’s continued words.

* * *

“… …Duke Heinel?”

“yes.”

What came out of DL’s mouth was quite unexpected.

Because an unexpected name popped up.

“Why did Duke Heinel contact the Hamel Group?”

It’s a conspiracy of one country.

In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a being with power almost comparable to that of a king.

But no matter how large that person is, would he contact a single superior first?

It was something that couldn’t have happened without a special reason.

“That’s… there’s no special reason. And although it’s said to be a call from Duke Heinel, it was someone below him who came.”

“Was that… … the person down there a tall, thin, old man with a thick mustache?”

“… … How do you know that?”

Philip went there himself.

In fact, the fact that Philip went meant that Heinel had personally ordered it.

At Damien’s expression, DL said.

“I have decided to guarantee you a bit more freedom of movement within the kingdom, including the dukedom. In simple terms, I will become the guardian of the Hamel Merchant Company.”

A high-ranking official who has Heinel as his guardian within the kingdom.

It was a determination to raise it to the highest position.

But why Heinel?

“I can’t understand your intentions at all. Why you’re doing that… I don’t really understand.”

DL shook his head as he spoke. But Damian seemed to be thinking about something.

“It’s definitely a favor with a reason. And… … I don’t think the reason will harm the top, so let’s wait and see for now.”

If I ever get the chance to meet Heinel again, I could ask him… … .

‘I can’t guarantee that we’ll meet again.’

Just meeting him once is practically a stroke of luck.

Because I am a person who is reluctant to meet people.

At Damian’s words, DL simply nodded.

Anyway, nothing will change even if I worry about it now.

As much as he had the Duke as his guardian.

“I need to push forward with the ongoing project as quickly as possible.”

DL spoke firmly.

Damien smiled faintly at him.

“Then let’s go inside. It’s okay now.”

Damien just wished to see Calon again.

* * *

Business in Miltobern was progressing faster than expected.

No, it would be more accurate to say that the driving force behind Hamel’s business is enormous.

“The weapons for the regular soldiers who are currently joining the 6th Legion are being manufactured in Miltobern. Of course… … if it changes to the entire Legion, then we plan to make the entire districts of other territories into blacksmith cities.”

“If that place were to open, I would consider moving there.”

Thorel said to DL’s words.

It seemed like he had already finished talking with Thorel.

“I think you’ll be able to prepare that part well. So… … Now, just keep an eye on the Empire’s movements and keep an eye on them. The moment they move, there won’t be any more time to relax.”

“All right.”

Then, Tor-El, who was standing next to him, asked Damian.

“Is there anything else I can help you with?”

“Hmm… … Then can I ask you one favor?”

“Of course.”

“May I request a shield and spear?”

“A shield and a spear?”

Damian nodded to Thorel’s question.

The path that the Kaion unit should take in the future must also be clearly presented.

‘We need to transform into a unit with more powerful attack power.’

Faster and stronger than anyone else.

A unit that can act as a strong shield while also becoming a sharp spear that can pierce the enemy.

Damien started drawing a shield and a spear on paper right then and there.

The shield is square in shape and extends from the shoulder to the knee.

And the window was drawn with a slightly hooked shape at the bottom of the blade.

Tor-El nodded as he looked at the window Damian had drawn for him.

“How much quantity do you need?”

“I need 200.”

“… … There are a lot. I guess I’ll have to work hard to make them for a while.”

“It’s not something that’s needed right now, so please proceed while doing what you were doing. I don’t want to ruin the plan by forcing it.”

“I will try my best to make it. But… … Who are you planning to give this shield and spear to?”

There was nothing unusual, but if Damien cared this much… … .

“Are you by any chance one of Damien’s men?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Ever since I heard Calon’s name, I felt more motivated than before.

I was also getting anxious at the thought that I could meet him at any time.

‘We need to prepare more thoroughly.’

I held back my anger and waited for that day.

“Then let’s meet again next time.”

Damian said, lifting the spear that Thorel had made for him.

Diana, who was standing next to him, also bowed her head to Thorel and greeted him.

“I will use it well, thank you very much.”

“No problem. See you later.”

After greeting each other, Damien turned around.

If I were to return to the unit, I would have a serious conversation with Leonhark about training the unit members.

This is because the direction in which the Kaion unit should move forward was clearly outlined based on the experience up to now.

“… … Let’s go back.”

“yes.”

There’s a mountain of work to be done from now on.

So Damian returned to Balfate with Diana.

And at the same time.

“… … What?”

“The Imperial army is advancing by sea… …!”

The Empire’s sword began to extend to the Artian Kingdom, which had not been attacked even once until now.

* * *

The Kingdom of Artian was a kingdom located in the southwestern part of the continent.

The structure of the continent was a thick crescent moon with its mouth open to the left, so in order to get to the Artian Kingdom, you had to go through the Baroque Kingdom.

That was one of the reasons why the Artian Kingdom was able to endure so steadfastly throughout its long history.

That’s because the Baroque Kingdom, one of the great powers of the continent, was standing firm at the entrance.

And if there was another way, it was to use the sea to enter the Artian Kingdom.

With the exception of the east bordering the Baroque Kingdom, the west, south, and north are all bordered by the sea, so it was necessary to always be aware of invasions via sea routes.

However, since the Artian Kingdom had two Auror Masters, they were actually always one step behind when it came to being invaded.

but.

“… … What is that?”

Northern Coast Guard of the Artian Kingdom.

The soldier who was watching the sea from a high watchtower frowned at the sight of something black in the distance.

The sea at night is especially dark.

If you look closely, you can’t tell the difference between the sea and the sky.

But somewhere in the middle, I felt like a dark shadow was being cast.

The soldier looked at the senior officer next to him and said.

“Sergeant Carl Vison. Don’t you think something appeared over there?”

“Ah… … What the hell. What’s going on at this hour of the morning, Inma? Did the Kraken show up?”

“No, that’s not it… … .”

But soon the soldier’s eyes began to shake violently.

Even though it was a lightless vessel, I could instinctively tell that it was a huge number of ships.

The soldier shouted.

“That’s an enemy warship! That’s an enemy warship!”

“what?”

The senior named Carlvison jumped up from his seat and rubbed his eyes.

Damn, he was a bit dazed from being asleep, but he strained his eyes and looked ahead.

As the successor said, it really was a military ship.

That too… … .

“It’s the Empire!”

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!

Carl Vison started ringing the bell like crazy.

“Enemy warships! Imperial warships have appeared!”

As he shouted loudly, soldiers of the Artian Kingdom began to rush out from the guard barracks below.

And Captain Homunt, who was guarding the northern coastal border, frowned at the sight of the imperial warships in the distance.

“… … Have we finally come this far?”

I already knew that the Empire was waging a war of conquest against the continent.

But I thought it would end with a fight on land.

They didn’t expect it to come to them this quickly… … .

but.

“I will make you regret ever coming to this land.”

Homunt hurriedly commanded his soldiers and prepared for battle.

The archers were ready to shoot arrows immediately if the imperial soldiers came ashore.

“Prepare the ballista!”

“yes!”

A massive weapon capable of destroying warships.

With the appearance of Ballista, full-scale battle preparations began.

Homun’s eyes flashed with life.

“Before you set foot on this land, I’ll make half of you fish food… …!”

Finally, the prepared ballista took aim at the imperial warships.

At that, Homunt pointed his sword forward and shouted.

“Destroy all enemy ships! Ballista, fire!”

Boom!

With a loud roar, the ballista’s arrows of incredible thickness and length flew towards the imperial warships.

It was the first battle between the Empire and Artian.
