The dwarf warrior rushed into the king’s workshop. He’s holding an envelop with the crest of the Crystial Family of the Great Lords of the North on his hand.
「That’s unexpected. Since it was them, I thought they’d immediately send their knights」
Since they are Kiryu, they have high pride and look down on the Dwarves. It’s expected that they would attack right away, but a week passed without any news.
According to the original plan, they were supposed to wait for the knights in the large mine and break through with a simultaneous tank barrage, but since there was no movement, they started considering whether to launch an attack now.
Why send their reply now? The Dwarf King opened the letter, wondering what was written.
「I see…」
The sender of the letter wasn’t Philip, the head of the Crystial family, but his daughter, Anastasia. He’s the one the Dwarf King wants to wed.
『Since I already have a wonderful husband, I refuse! To try and take me by force is utterly impolite! If you immediately present the gold and silver treasures made by the Dwarves as proof of your apology, the kind-hearted me will forgive you just this one time. If you don’t bring them right away, we’ll have the head of the Dwarf King himself』
The contents of the letter sent to the Dwarf King was like this. Words born from not yielding an inch and absolute belief in their victory.
Only a few women would speak so brazenly to the Dwarf King, who was a respected blacksmith even before ascending to the throne.
「Anastasia? She’s much more interesting than I thought」
The person, who was only interested in the mere catalyst for the war and the fact that they were of the blood of the women taken from the dwarven village, insolently aims for the Dwarf King’s head.
The king’s heart flutters for Anastasia, whom he hadn’t seen yet.
He desires to defeat the insolent opponent, subdue them, and thoroughly ravish them in ront of their partner.
The dark impulse arose, wanting to trample the parter, the lover, and the wife in front of the ragged loser.
「Prepare for war!! Bring out the tanks!! Make way!!」
「C-Certainly! We’ll begin preparations immediately.」
The fearsome weapons created by the dwarves: the tanks. The ruler of the surface, and the one who tramples.
Using cleverly hidden passages, they’re sent to the surface one after another.
A total of 500 dwarf tank units have been assembled in front of the great mine in no time.
「Forward!! Dwarf warriors!! Your aim is the enemy stronghold! The lord’s castle! Smash everything that stands in the way and reclaim everything they took from us!!!」
「「「「「Oooooooooooooh!!!!!」」」」」
Hearing a roar, the knights who were monitoring the great mine discovers a golden tsunami surging towards the Northern territories.
「Lord Adon! The stone eaters have appeared! There’s about 500 of them! They seem to be wielding a giant golden weapon nobody’s ever seen before」
「It’s finally time! Send a messenger to the castle right away! We’ll hold them until the reinforcements arrive!」
Adon, who had volunteered for the surveillance duty, had jumped out of the simple lodging that also served as the watchtower.
Both Anastasia and Mira are participating in this war. If Mira’s achievements were greater than Anastasia, the knights will also recognize Mira’s ability, the capability of Adan’s daughter.
「Stone eaters! You’re just a stepping stone for me and my daughter, well done! There may be many of you but the knights won’t be defeated easily」
To prove that his daughter is better than Philip’s daughter.
The golden shining tank appeared in front of Adon, who was determined to avenge his humiliation from before.
「How beautiful, they’re almost celebrating my future!」
The scene, which seemed to symbolize Adon’s shining future, made him smile.
「It’s easy to eat them all away, but the leading lady isn’t here yet. I’m going to stop you here, greedy scavengers!」
Feeling excited, he unleashed his magic power surging within him, and he fired a wide-range lightning bolt towards the fifty tanks forming a row.
「Now, you’re allーHuh?」
The magic of lightning attribute excels in speed and power, and it also inflicts the paralysis status. The enemy, who took Adon’s lightning should’ve been paralyzed and slowed down.
However, the golden armor, made from the divine iron that excels against magic, erased the lightning that spread over the wide area. The fact that he didn’t put that much magic power into it, thinking that he’s only stopping them temporarily had worked against him.
His attack had been nullified by the enemy, and the dwarf tank units bared their fangs at Adon, who had stopped moving. Dozens of tanks began attacking Adon and the others with anti-aircraft guns.
The rain of divine iron shells, devised to attack the Kiryu soaring freely across the sky, pours down upon the knights.
「Everyone, defendーーgyaaaaa!!!」
「My magic vanishesーguaaaaa!!!」
The defensive wall made from magic matter created by the knights was erased by the divine iron bullet, which penetrated and wounded the knight’s bodies.
The divine iron armor blocks the magic attacks emitted by the Kiryu and the divine iron bullets that pierce the magical defense wall. The new weapon of the dwarves, who had been preparing for years and decades to defeat the Kiryu, finally reached their vengeful enemy.
