Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 477

 

Heavy Burden



Firearms were the most revolutionary technology in the history of the empire


Can be used by anyone and produces consistent results


Therefore, it is an extremely dangerous weapon.


If handled correctly, even a child can instantly kill an adult.


That's why absolute management is necessary


However, there is still a possibility that it will be stolen by dangerous people.


It was also assumed that a traitor would appear within the empire like this time.



"Kuh! The Empire's latest weapon!"


"We couldn't hit them at all!"



No wonder


For times like this, we Temple Knights have been trained to deal with firearms.


Moreover, the time to prepare, aim, and fire is too slow.


The line of sight and the direction of the muzzle are so direct that you can tell where you're aiming.


In that case, if you move sideways in time with the muzzle flash, you won't be hit.



"First one!"



Basically, you can't shoot a gun without a hand.


If you get close immediately and cut it from the wrist down, they won't be able to handle it.



"Done here, too."


"Likewise, now there are three of them."


"I've neutralized three people."



The credit was skewed, but oh well.


They were lowly bandits who had no formation and acted sloppily.



"There were a lot of things on the ship!"



The remaining one had already taken control of the ship.


Inside were the orphans who were about to have something done to them


There's a big barrel next to them...



"Don't touch that, okay?"


"Uwa!"


"Is this blue water?"


"Seriously? It's the first time I've seen it."



Eerie blue murky water as seen in the document


It's the devil's water that turns you into a mad soldier once you drink it.



"Let's take the children out of here!"


"Roger that!"


"I'll prepare the first aid kit!"


"They have a lot of extra supplies, so we can use those as well."


"Roger~!"




----------




The rescued children had many injuries, but there was no evidence that they had drunk the blue water.


We captured bandits, lots of firearms, blue water, orphans


We can't do it alone, so we're requesting reinforcements.


After a while, the leader fell from the sky.



"Fuu!"



He effortlessly lands while carrying a huge wooden box.



"Thank you for your hard work, Commander."


"…Yeah, are you done here?"


"Yeah, we don't have enough hands, so I requested reinforcements to come."


"I see... the ship sank."


"Bandits too?"


"Yeah, there is no obligation to help them, and the stolen firearms are more important to the Empire than their lives."


"That's true."


"I'll go back to the imperial capital first, okay?"


"Yes, please convey the details to His Majesty the Emperor."


"Then I'll leave the rest to you guys."



With that said, the leader runs towards the imperial capital.


Something about that back looked sad.
