I Am No King's

Chapter 198 – Artillery

~Emir POV~

"Target is visible. They just got out of the building."

"good. I'm getting ready."

I concentrated, popping up an artillery image in the head. Not only the finished image, but all the parts ranging from the largest, the sleeve, to the smallest, the bolt. As much as I could, I changed the Krat that was ready behind us. Within a short period of time, four artillery pieces were already standing tall, ready to break the calmness and darkness of the night.

In military school, I was taught to operate artillery. However, before this, I had never tried to make it. Wh why? The tank is more than enough.

However, according to Lugalgin and Inanna, on the battlefield, artillery is much more reliable than tanks. Wh why? Because the range of the tank was too close, it was only a few kilometers. With a low angle of fire, every shot I fired would instantly give an indication of my whereabouts.

On the other hand, artillery has a firing range of up to several tens of kilometers. One a few, one a few tens. Different unit! With that far range, I could blow up anyone and anything from the next town without worrying about the opponent knowing my location. Does this mean artillery is my efficient attack? Yay! I finally had an efficient attack.

In order to make good artillery, Lugalgin drove me to a nearby military base and made me disassemble, clean, and reassemble the artillery, many times. He chose the most commonly used type, the Hoz-7. Since I can already make tanks from Krat, it doesn't take long to be able to make artillery. The basic components are almost the same. Five days is enough.

People say I'm talented, but I refuse. I feel pretty good in the military not because I'm talented, but because it's the only escape from the royal family's life. Since childhood, I know, and they also know, that I am not suitable to be a noble let alone a royal family. However, the title due to heredity could not be released just like that.

Finally, rather than being told to learn manners and how to behave as a noble, I would rather go into the military. So, I'm an expert because I've been doing all this for a long time, since I was a kid. I'm not at all talented.

And, Lugalgin realized this. He never said I was talented in the military. According to Lugalgin, I actually have another talent and it just so happens that the military needs it. Inanna also agrees with Lugalgin. Unfortunately, even though I asked many times, they never explained what my talent was.

Well, nevermind.

"Emir, direction N45E, slope 32."

"Good."

As per Inanna's direction, I began to rotate the direction of the artillery barrel. The direction of N45E indicates an angle from the north, North, 45 degrees to the east, East. For slope, the angle is calculated from the flat surface. Although this place is not flat, the angle indicator on the side makes it easy for me to adjust the angle of the slope. Since we were not aiming for the farthest distance, Inanna did not give the maximum angle, which is 45 degrees.

To be able to rotate and even tilt the artillery barrel, I needed very high concentration. My head felt pressured from all directions, completely hurting. Sweat runs throughout the body.

On the other hand, Inanna sat neatly and leisurely in front of the artillery. He uses a laptop to monitor the target's movements and simulate shots.

Since Lugalgin is the head of intelligence, we have access to all the security cameras in this kingdom. I had hoped that we could find and clean up the three six-pillar organizations easily because it had access to every security camera. However, unfortunately, the security cameras of every organization are not connected to the internet.

All organizations, including Agade, have different computer servers for security cameras and the internet. So, if we want to access the security camera, we have to go straight into the security room and hack the camera from the inside, directly connect the cable. Then mah, it's the same as lying!

The target this time is some people who are considered quite important in Orion. They are dealing arms with other organizations. The transactions they do are limited to price negotiations and handover time, nothing more.

Initially, we were thinking of carrying out an attack when the handover of the weapon was done, such as when subduing a fake Agade. However, Lugalgin had another opinion. If we attack at that time, their guard will be very tight because they know they will be targeted.

On the other hand, if only price and time discussion, the people of the organization will conduct meetings in public places, with minimal security. Meetings in public places, such as restaurants and hotels, are common because the black market has a code of conduct not to involve non-black market people. In other words, try not to drag civilians.

If we attack opponents, in the middle of the city after the meeting and without harming or dragging civilians, just as Lugalgin wants to show off power to them and as if to say, "I can attack you anytime anywhere without dragging civilians,". So, according to Lugalgin, sometimes sending a message is more important than giving a loss to an opponent.

"Alright, they're on a long straight road route. Several alleys and intersections were already emptied, ensuring their arrival time in the firing zone. Emir, ready?"

"Ready!"

"Wait for my words."

"GUNSHOT!"

"HUH!"

I screamed, exhaled, opened fire, and closed my ears simultaneously.

Dar dar dar dar dar dar

Although it had been closed with both hands, the explosive sound of the four artillery barrels was still able to reach the eardrum. I opened fire continuously, waiting for the cue from Inanna.

Inanna looks normal, both hands are still in front of the laptop. In both ears, he wore a headset with noise cancelling. Apparently, he mixed his iron parts with lead to control.

"Enough!"

I stopped the shot. The deafening sound was no longer heard. The night is back here. Inanna took off the headset that covered her ears, leaving her lying around.

The reason Inanna didn't cover my ears with a noise cancelling headset was that I didn't know when she was going to give me a cue. If there is a time lag between Inanna giving a warning and I open fire because I wait for my ears to close, the shot has the potential to miss.

"How's it?"

"Attime,"

Since our distance was quite far, it took him a few dozen seconds for his attack to reach the opponent. It's different when I control a tank turret that doesn't take five seconds until the bullet reaches the opponent.

Uh, wait a minute. If the speed of artillery shells is higher than that of tanks, what if I also use artillery to fight at close range? Young, maybe not. At close range, tank and artillery shells may only have a difference of less than 1 second to reach the opponent. So, maybe this isn't a good idea. Plus, I wasn't sure I could make this heavy and complex artillery float.

"HIT! Target detonated!"
