Chapter 40 - Secret Weapon

Chapter 40: Secret Weapon

In the middle of the night, Joshua woke up and found that there was a movement against his body

He found that the drunk Mondette was leaning on his side, and Alexia was also sleeping on his chest.

“What’s going on!”

He recalled what had happened just now. He had not expected such things to have happened!

Josh drank too much more than Mondette, so the two of them began to bet that whoever lost would be at the other’s mercy!

In the end, the two of them were both drunk until they were dizzy, so Joshua was ready to send Mondette to her room.

In the end, she carefully walked into his room and slept until now.

Sensing that she had made a mistake, Alexia sneaked into the room. She wanted to apologize to Joshua but found that the two of them had already fallen asleep.

So, Alexia leaned on Joshua and fell asleep.

Seeing that the two of them were still deeply asleep, Joshua quietly carried them to the side and prepared to leave.

At this time, Alexia said from the inside, “Joshua, forgive me! I shouldn’t have done it!”

Looking at this silly child, Joshua gently stroked her head and whispered in her ear, “Not only will I not blame you, but I also thank you for saving Mondette!”

Then, he turned around and exited the room.

After leaving the residence, Joshua immediately went to the Science and Technology Academy.

At this time, the entire Science and Technology Academy was busy. Everyone was working hard on the weapons.

Alger moved a box of materials from the warehouse to the front line forgers and then went to Joshua’s side.

“These things came in such a timely manner In less than three days, all the equipment will be completed, and there will even be enough backup supplies.”

Seeing that Alger was so happy, Joshua said to him, “All of this is thanks to Mondette who desperately rushed here! If she didn’t appear in time, we would only be left with scraps.”

“Hahaha! Mondette, right? Next time, I must have a good drink with her.”

Originally, Joshua wanted to rush back to the city hall, but Alger did not let him leave. He brought him to the Underground Research Institute of the Science and Technology Academy.

On the empty field, there were a few long tubes that looked like cannons.

“Cannons?”

Alger shook his finger and explained, “This is a magic cannon! After being filled, it can release a huge energy beam that can cause fatal damage to the enemy!”

“That’s so powerful!”

Saying this, Alger filled one of the magic cannons with some elementary magic stones and then shot it at a distant target.

A beam of light flashed and the magic cannon focused on the target’s armor, turning it into ashes.

Alger immediately explained, “Although the magic cannon’s attack on enhanced metal is very effective, it doesn’t have much attack power against stone walls and people.

“But this time, the enemy has knights and they are all wearing full body armor! With this, we can gain an advantage!”

Hearing Alger’s explanation, Joshua immediately beamed with joy.

“This is really good stuff! It seems that I can’t show my sincerity by just giving Mondette my thanks. I’ll think of a way to make it up to her!”

With that, he left the Science and Technology Academy and went to the city hall.

Mortimer had been waiting for Joshua for a long time because the enemies were already gathering and could come over at any time.

Looking at the information on his desk, Joshua immediately called for Georgi.

“How are the preparations going?”

“It is estimated that the enemy will require four days to arrive. We are all prepared to greet them with our swords. The traps on the battlefield have all been set up. When the time comes, we can jump straight into battle!”

Hearing Georgi’s words, Joshua sat down in his chair in peace.

In the distant Tobomori City, Duke Richard had all his troops ready to go.

This time, there were not only 1,000 elite knights, but also 2,000 infantrymen.

In order to ensure 100% victory this time, Richard directly dispatched 1,000 iron-armored corps from his territory to provide support.

“With 4,000 soldiers, I don’t believe that we can’t take down Puba Village this time!”

With this, Duke Richard personally led the expedition, intending to chop off Joshua’s head himself.

However, the journey was not as good as he had imagined. It was supposed to be a four-day journey but it had taken them an extra three days.

Along the way, they either encountered all kinds of ferocious beasts and unexpected disasters.

These things seemed to indicate something, which made Duke Richard very unhappy.

“Men!”

The adjutant quickly walked over from behind him.

“What are your orders, my Lord?”

“Is our journey still long?”

The adjutant quickly contacted the vanguard unit and a few minutes later, news came.

“My lord, there’s about one more day!”

“Very good, it seems that our victory is right in front of us.”

In Puba Village, the army of more than three thousand people near the garrison was ready to go. All of their equipment was the best they had.

Although they were just basic equipment and weapons, the quality of the equipment was determined by the standards of the forgers.

In addition, these things were all made with Alger’s heavily modified materials, so all of them were better equipped than the soldiers in Duke Richard’s army.

The start of the war was a few days later than expected. It was pouring.

This weather made Richard’s knights and heavy soldiers extremely uncomfortable. They were drenched and many of the soldiers were sick from the cold.

Looking at the increasingly difficult road ahead of them, Richard could not help but point at the sky and curse, “You want to obstruct me? Don’t even think about it!”

The moment he finished speaking, the rain became heavier. The muddy ground in the forest made it extremely difficult for the soldiers to walk.

The cavalry also stopped riding their horses and began to walk on foot. Their horses could not bear the extra weight brought by the rain, so they could only stop and wait for the rain to stop.

The old village chief of Puba Village, Carl, looked at the rain outside and felt the energy between heaven and earth.

A magic power flew directly into the sky through his body.

This rain was supposed to only last for half a day but under the effect of this energy, it lasted for an entire day.

Old Village Chief Carl muttered, “Joshua, I can only help you so much. Everything depends on you!”

Looking at the rain in the sky, Joshua could not help but sigh, “The right time, the right place, and the right person. I have all three! Our army will win this war!”

Joshua was not the only one who thought so. Mortimer, Georgi, and the others behind Joshua felt the same thing.
