Pseudo-Villaines
Resistant
While Jean was in Feldberg, Rose and his army had occupied Nebelhorn City the day that Count Feldberg's body was cremated and his ashes were made into pork by Jean.
Although Jean had already eradicated most of the elements of the resistance, the forces that Rose commanded still gained a little resistance from the opposing side. Jean did it on purpose. His soldiers were mostly new recruits and they needed experience on the battlefield.
Rose is a strict but gentle girl. He destroys anyone who fights him but is compassionate to the one who gives up.
Jean didn't take issue with it when a news came to her. He had told Rose that he could do whatever he liked. After all, such a thing did not bother Jean at all.
Rose stationed 1000 troops in the city of Feldberg. Includes 100 elite knights trained by Rose and Jean directly. Their job is to keep the security inside the city. They were also ordered to monitor the movements of the population. In many ways, Rose was a very alert girl.
"Mr Jean, we...."
That day, one of the knights approached Jean and whispered something. Hearing that, Jean immediately rushed to follow the knight somewhere.
There is a small building in the corner of Feldberg's mansion count. Once the door opened, there was nothing. It's just a dusty room. However, there was a large object located in the corner of the room and covered by a shabby cloth.
Jean went forward and pulled the cloth away. His smile bloomed when he saw what was behind it. A long giant tube with empty space on the inside until the front is black stretched out before him.
His knights were confused as to why Jean was smiling so widely like that. But it is not his right to question it. With initiative, she asked permission to leave the room, which Jean answered with a nod. Now, only he himself is here.
Seeing this, he remembered one of his father's lecture sessions many years ago.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
"Jean, what kind of weapon do you think is the most dangerous when used in war?"
That night, the lecture session was over. It's just a discussion.
Jean, who was eight at the time, tilted her head. What he thought of was a magician with immense power. Little Jean once read in a fairy tale that one witch is equivalent to thousands of troops.
Upon hearing Jean's reply, Nikolai laughed. It was a childish answer but also brilliant. Normally, a young Jean shouldn't be able to answer that.
"You're right, Jean. A powerful magician could send thousands of troops to death. However, their numbers are rare and very difficult to find. When they die or can no longer go to war, it will be very difficult to find a replacement."
Hearing his son's question, Nikolai began to draw something on a wooden board. A large tube-shaped object with a hole in front of it. There is a rope that stands on the back.
"This is the new technology of the Vancouver empire and the Orleans kingdom, Jean. This thing is called a [Cannon] or cannon. This tool they use to break into the enemy castle and give a blow to the opponent.
"Although it is expensive and not easy to produce, it is much cheaper when compared to building facilities to improve the quality of [Mage]. Replacing it is much easier if it is destroyed or damaged.
"This is what will change the course of future battles, son. Remember that."
At that moment Jean just nodded. He was amazed by the technology called the cannon. Though....the picture that his father made was very bad.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
"Who would have thought that I could see this thing in person. I don't think Count Feldberg can produce this thing. It seems like he bought secretly a long time ago and placed it here. Too bad he didn't have time to use it."
Count Feldberg had at least bought this item before Jean took control of Dublin. Because if he bought it now, Jean would definitely trace its whereabouts given the port in Bucharest and the highway in Dublin are under his control.
Jean secured this cannon. Well, nobody's gonna take it. But just in case, he ordered his 20 elite Knights to prevent anyone from going to this place.
Jean decided to return to Nebelhorn after his affairs at Feldberg had been completed. He just took a few days to get there considering he didn't sleep at all. At best stop just to rest his riding horse.
When he got there, he saw something interesting.
Rose was lining up over 1000 people. They look lethargic and tired. Therefore, he went to Rose and asked her what was really going on. The answer he got made him excited.
"They were the ones attacking us all of a sudden, Mr. Jean. 20 of our soldiers were killed along with 5 other Knights. Initially these people numbered 3000. But we managed to reduce it to 1000 people."
Jean nodded. From Rose's view, her master did not look angry after hearing what had happened. However, the order that came out of his mouth made Rose surprised.
"Execute all these people and drag their whole family into the labor camp."
