Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 88.2

The war had broken out inevitably, and the 1st Prince Valentine, who was cooperating with the Empire to minimize its casualties, was cooperating with the Empire as much as possible.

He had been spending all his time rooting out the liberal revolutionaries who were active within the Empire. The problem was. . . . The news from the front lines was getting on Valentine’s nerves.

“At this rate, even the second-year students of the academy may be drafted.”

“I guess I should step in.”

“Even for Your Highness, it would be difficult to catch those who move stealthily. It would be better to leave it to Royman.”

At Oswald’s words, Valentine looked at Royman, who was nearby.

“Royman? Do you mean to use the Kronen family?”

“Yes. Just as the enemy assassinates our officers and staff, we can also assassinate the enemy’s officers and staff, can’t we?”

“Hmm. . . . Not bad. Royman, is it possible?”

“The enemy officers who actually command the troops are not that strong. . . . I think it’s worth a try.”

“Good, I’ll cover the expenses with my personal funds. Mobilize as many assassins as possible and return the favor.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

“Rather than that, Oswald, are there no better weapons than the ones we have now? If we make them now, they will be of great help when we fight Chaos and war later?”

“Certainly. . . . But the problem is that if we create weapons that are better than these and deploy them to the Western Military District, it could cause problems in the future.”

“What kind of problems?”

“From what I understand, the commander of the Western Military District, Duke Liechtenstein, supports the 3rd Prince Douglas. If the 3rd Prince were to raise a banner with Chaos on his back. . . . We would face the strengthened Western Military District forces.”

“Hmm. . . . We can’t arm only the Central Military District.”

This was because there was no justification for arming other military districts with new weapons first, unless there were more battlefields.

“Don’t worry. It will probably escalate into a full-scale war in a month or two. . . . I don’t think there will be any opposition by then, even if we arm the Central Military District with new weapons.”

“Is it really inevitable that the war will escalate into a full-scale war?”

“If the Empire is satisfied with taking the northern territory of the Republic, it will end. . . . But if not, then our participation is almost certain.”

The Kingdom of Francia, the Kingdom of Holland, and the Kingdom of Britannia were already concentrating their forces on the border.

“The problem is that if the war escalates, we may end up drafting even the second-year students.”

There were reserve officers and staff, but their numbers were not large. If they continued to engage in assassination battles with the enemy officers and staff, the direction of the war could be determined by the supply of officers and staff.

“For now, let’s develop new weapons in the Winchester Principality. I’ll support that with Peacemaker funds.”

“Yes, well. . . . I’ll give it a try.”

That day, Oswald went to see the headmaster.

“What is it?”

“Headmaster, I need some help.”

“What kind of help do you need?”

“Do you know any dwarves?”

“Dwarves. . . . ”

“I have some weapons to make in preparation for the war against Chaos. . . . I don’t want to entrust them to the Empire, because I think it will only lead to civil war. . . . ”

Oswald looked at him with anticipation, hoping that he would introduce him to the dwarves of the Dragon Mountains.

The dwarves, who had absorbed all the technology of eastern and western Titan, had developed even more advanced science and engineering.

They had found a way to harness pure electrical energy, not magical energy. This electrical energy technology was being utilized in the eastern part of the continent and was continuing to develop.

“I see you have an idea of the dwarves you want.”

“Haha. . . . ”

“I knew it was as good as decided when Cadet Oswald asked me to introduce the dwarves when he said he was making weapons.”

“That’s right. I would like you to introduce me to the dwarves of the Dragon Mountains, Headmaster. And also to the knowledge dragon, Quetzalcoatl.”

“Hahahaha, you never fail to live up to expectations. Very well, shall we go now?”

“Can you do that?”

“Of course. In the meantime, I will have to use this friend as a substitute for Cadet Oswald.”

A guard homunculus entered the headmaster’s office, and as the headmaster snapped his fingers, the homunculus transformed into Oswald.

“I will inform the surrounding people.”

“Thank you, Headmaster.”

“I will give the homunculus a communication terminal that can contact Cadet Oswald in case of difficult questions. Please answer it in a timely manner.”

“I will keep that in mind as well.”

“Well then.”

Headmaster Aurei held out his hand, and as Oswald took it, they disappeared in a bright flash of light.

The next place Oswald appeared was a huge city filled with dazzling light and sweltering heat.

‘𝘞𝘰𝘸. . . . ‘

This place, which most closely resembled a modern city. . . . Oswald knew exactly where it was.

This was the dwarven holy city of Karaz City.
