「Papa! Please! Wake up!!」
「Ugh…」
He’s awakened by the call of his beloved daughter.
His consciousness is a blur, memories of before and after were still unclear, his whole body aches but somehow, he managed to stay alive.
「What happened to me? Ugh」
「Papa, no! Stay still! You’ll get hurt!」
Mira hastily held down Adon who was trying to get up while enduring the pain.
Small fragments embedded in his body from the orichalcum grenade and the effect of the divine iron inhibits the mana. The injury that heals naturally didn’t heal and blood flows out of Adon’s body, forming pools of it.
If he were an ordinary human, he would’ve bled to death, but a Kiryu’s tenacious life force somehow managed to keep Adon living.
「Philip said it. If this shard remains embedded, the injury won’t heal, so we need to first remove it from the wound. You must be in pain, but please bear with it, Papa」
Mira uses her magic to make a small knife and cut open the wound. When the knife touches the shard of divine iron, it disappeared, she used a large pair of tweezers to remove the fragment, stopped the bleeding from the wound and bandaged it.
After removing most of the fragments, he’s given a potion to treat the wound and restore the lost blood. The potion, made from regular monster materials, contained a great deal of magic power, and gradually healed Adon’s body, which suffered near death and severe injuries.
「Sorry, Mira. You saved me. So, what’s the situation? What happened to the Knights? What about Philip?」
Adon, having sensed that he had just survived, was finally able to focus on other things.
Then, he remembered the new weapon the dwarves have made, he was easily shot down by the fierce assault of the tanks and he was injured severely. Who would’ve thought that the dwarves could bring out weapons like that? The knights who were supervising and those below Adon were careless, they were easily annihilated as prey of the divine iron shells.
Even Philip, a great lord, would have disadvantage against the tank. They’re still struggling, or in worst case, they may have fallen already. Or so Adon thought.
「If you’re talking about the tanks, Alec already took them down! It was amazing! Can you see it?」
But, Mira’s carefree reply was full of joy, contrary to Adon’s expectations. Lifting up Adon’s upper body, who had fallen in the middle slope of the Great mine, and supported him so the grassland is visible.
「……」
He’s lost for words.
A view beyond Adon’s imagination spreads out.
The tank unit, who had been wielding such might, was crammed into a large hole and had been frozen solid. Some tanks were fortunate enough to avoid falling into the pit, but they were blown off the ground and rendered immobile by the routine freezing water torture.
Adon’s pride creaked on the sight of them defeating an opponent so easily when he can’t even touch them.

「ーーI never expected the tank units to be annihilated」
The Dwarf King, who watched the performance of the tank unit in the middle of the Great Mine, was groaning.
The tanks were devised and designed by the Dwarf King. Of course, he knows the extent of that power. They predicted that the tank units had the ability to overrun the North.
But in reality, they only managed to defeat several of the monitoring knights. They couldn’t even reach the Great Lord’s residence were easily rendered incapable of action.
「Their response is too quick. Does that mean the other side was better?」
The Kiryu prefers pushing opponents with long distance magic attacks, so they never imagined that they’d blow the ground away and use lake water. The Dwarf King regrets that he looked down on the Kiryu.
Actually, it was Alec who came up with that battle tactic, and the feints and traps were largely based on the creative works he read in his previous life. If Philip’s daughter hadn’t brought Alec to their place, they wouldn’t have been defeated so easily.
「Regret comes later. For now, there’s one thing to accomplish」
Gogogogogo…
The Dwarf king spreads his magic.
The exit opens on the mid-slope of the large mine, which had been cleverly concealed. Then.
Thud, thud!!
A gigantic, hand-shaped weapon with a total length exceeding ten meters have appeared.
