The Sended's

Chapter 48: Ex Terra, Scienta

Four thousand is enough to encircle the city of Ladenvield, which is even smaller than the city of Ruby, and we moved quickly to close all of Ladenvield's access outside their walls

I divided my three armies for three different campsites because there were only three sides of the wall that we could climb, the South side of them was covered with the Cherry Mountains that stretched from Edelfield to here

Ruby's army, ready when the sun is completely gone.

"Oh? Look at that sight,"

There are many districts outside the walls of the city of Ladenvield, most of them miners, loggers, hunters, and some of the jobs that they think are low-end jobs

Perhaps because it is also their situation in terms of economic and food needs, they do not know their priorities.

And the view I'm referring to is of the little people who are most likely these lower-class workers, they're right in front of the city gates and begging the guards to come in

"I don't like this sight, Ryuu," Kyouka said

Ladenvield, a land not ruled by a monarch like King, Emperor, Khan, or anything like that, they are actually a new wind in this period. The ones holding power are the ones they call the Council of Ladenvield

Their system of government should be similar to that of the Republics of the past, for example Rome and Athens. But it seems to have failed

Kyouka next to me seemed very uncomfortable, she even bit her own lips. Especially when the arrows were shot to crush the unrest that had arisen, it made him completely shocked and furious on the other side

"Yumu!" he even yelled at me

"T-Relax Kyouka first," Maou tried to calm her down

Because of the arrow shot, their citizens ran. They returned to their respective homes outside the district, desperate and resigned to their fate for us to slaughter-Hey! We will not slaughter you!

"Tonight we'll take a break, but I want a group to go to those districts and convince the people there,"

The torches were lit, one torch for three soldiers. From the top of the wall there will be thousands of tiny lights that glow like fireflies, and well, their morale will drop.

I did say that the siege was the most boring thing, but I also wanted to try something new. For example, mind games like this, hopefully useful....

Then I don't want any civilians who can be our deterrent to the siege tomorrow, so I'm telling people to evacuate them tonight. If for Kyouka this is a rescue action, but honestly I can not think of it that way

Maybe someday?

Now let's go to sleep, good night....

"Hey! Shouldn't you be watching the evacuation?!"

"Ehh. You did that Kyouka, I want to sleep,"

"Based on you," he seems to have given up

Uh! I thought

"Maou, how's the project?" much

"No problem, you can sleep well" he replied

Whoa! He's an understanding, intelligent, and kind-hearted man perhaps? Why did he become an otaku in his previous life? Wait.... Is he really an otaku? Or just because he's playing games so I assume so?

Urgh....

"Then good night, you two," I walked into the tent waving my hand.

Actually what Ryuu asked for is not that difficult, it is true that in this age there may be only a few who can make it but with my future knowledge I can make it too

"Master Diablo, the woods are coming,"

"Well, put them on the vacant lot, then please call my team to get there, please,"

Even though it's night, but I'm used to working late in the world. You see when I see Kyouka who works hard, I also certainly can not laze

But Ryuu.

I took a sketch of the project this time and brought it to where it was going to be built

When others rest, we will do this. So that tomorrow morning Ryuu can use it and win this siege faster.

By the time I got to the location, where there was already pile by pile of wood and dozens of people who were my team to build this project, they lined up as soon as they saw me

"Good night gentlemen, we have a job to do. Then I'll ask you guys for an empty hour tomorrow, which is important we have to finish this in the morning" I explained

"Ready sir!"

"How many are you currently?" much

"There are 55 masters in total,"

55 year.....

"Then for the five groups and choose your leader, then these leaders come forward and take this sketch,"

After marching back according to his group, five people advanced according to my instructions. Then I explained everything to them and shared the five sketches I had for them to explain back to their group

"I want each group to build one, then if there's still time then we'll build a second project together,"

"Okay Sir!"

All the materials are available, all the tools I have brought from the city, we should be able to build the five things Ryuu asked for before he woke up.

I heard Ryuu woke up very early.

"Maou!" It's Kyouka

"Why haven't you slept yet?" continue my

He approached and looked at my sketch that was on the table

"So this is what Ryuu means to be able to hasten the siege?" said

I also came closer

"Yes, I'm also sure these two things can do that,"

"Eh.... Then what else do you need?" Kyouka asked while looking me in the eye

"H-huh? N-no more, everything is available here, the rest I just need water to wet the animal's skin,"

Nervous again, but how else, right? She is my dream girl!

Umm. although the large crown covered her hair, she was still beautiful. Uh! I should be focused, for now I will work on this project first

"Where do you plan to get water? I mean we do have a lot, but it's for other purposes,"

He was right, we had water that we brought from the capital but it was for the purposes of drinking this army, in fact it would be lacking if this siege dragged on, eating Ryuu desperately wanting both of these things

"The only way is to take the sea water, because there is no flowing river near here" I replied

Even I know that building a city on a plateau where no river flows is not the first and best option, so why do they still do that?

Ryuu says all cities have their own history, and so does Ladenvield

The city was once a refuge from the kingdom of Edelfield which at that time had a bad King, that was the origin of Ladenvield and their association with Edelfield

So the city of Ladenvield itself is not neatly arranged like the city of Ruby, because from the beginning they did not intend to build a city there, but even the incident....

"But the beach is also quite far away, if you want to be close then go to the cliff and take sea water with a bucket associated with a rope. That's dangerous...... I wish there was rain so your job would be easy,"

And. what Kyouka said came true.

Right after he said that, black clouds began to appear above us and there was not too heavy rain. Moisturize the dry skin that we have prepared

I was so amazed at it, it seemed like everything Kyouka said would come true....

"How can...?"

"Hehe,"

H-hoi what happened? Why is the ground wet? Was it raining last night? As I recall yesterday afternoon the sky was very clear

Ugh, I have to go to the toilet, then I'll wash my face.

"Miss-miss Rune!"

Hm? I was washing my face but suddenly a soldier came in fear and was nervous

"Why? Did the enemy send troops out their walls?"

"Not that miss, but-but....."

I immediately ran towards the direction indicated by the soldier

Hey-hey what the hell is this?! How could this all be overnight? I know that Maou is a genius but...... Is it possible?! Well, this is just one of the powers of Science, I can't wait for the rest

In this campground is still quiet, here alone there are some people who just sleep on the ground. I'm sure they're Maou's team in charge of building this whole thing, this masterpiece

Some may disagree with me, because this is a machine to kill and to speed up murder anyway....

"Where's diablo?" much

"Sir diablo's still resting in that tent over there, miss. Same with the Queen, too,"

"Eh?! They both slept?!"

"T-no! That's not what I mean, miss! Her Majesty the Queen rests in her own tent,"

Oh.. I misunderstood, tehe...

Hahaha, but I have to thank Maou when she wakes up. Moreover, he also added a layer of wet leather so that the wood behind him so immune from fire, although the troops inside can still feel the heat but it can be tricked by spraying water to them periodically

"Anu.... Do I need to wake Mr Diablo?"

"No need, we will also start the attack during the day, now you call your comrades and take two or three horse-drawn carriages, then collect the rocks that are about the size of your circumference,"

"Yes!" then he left

I waited here for a while, but in a short time had gathered hundreds of soldiers who were curious about what things were here, even though they did not dare to approach because there was me.....

Not bad to be feared either, I would prefer to be respected anyway but well later it would also be so after I won a few more battles

Why don't I let them get closer? That's because I'm lazy to explain the mechanics of this war machine, let Maou explain it when she wakes up

Hm? What war machine did Maou build?

Well....

It was a tower of siege and manjanik
