After we defeated the basilisk above the lake, the airship continued to press toward the inside of Woodcastle, just like that.
Originally, if we tried to fly over the castle, we would get shot down and couldnt even complain. However, since the barrier stone was destroyed, there was no one to criticize us.
Or rather, we could save Lyss from a pinch exactly because we quickly rushed in from the unobstructed sky.
There was a basilisk hovering over the castle. Chrisse shot a 7.62x51mm high-explosive magic stone round through its eye socket, making the bullet explode inside its skull, and killed it.
Noticing Lyss, Luna called out from the airship and waved her hands to let Lyss know that she was all right.
Oneechaaaaan!
Having confirmed her sisters safety, Lyss showed a relieved expression.
However, the current situation was an urgent one.
Shia had been wounded. Her maid clothes were stained with blood and her eyes were closed. It looked like she was unconscious.
From the destroyed barrier stone, dragoons were coming out in large numbers.
As I thought, it would really reach the number 10000 that was written in the record book.
Considering the barbed wire was gone, they did good holding out with just the PKM.
To not let their hard works be in vain, I couldnt let the damage increase anymore.
Snow! Meiya! Have you finished the preparation!?
Its ok!
It can go anytime!
I nodded at their powerful replies, and called out loud to Lyss, who was hugging Shia below.
Make a foxhole right now and take cover inside it! Im gonna shoot a really big firework!
Lyss heard my words and instructed the soldiers behind her.
The magicians cooperated and made a big, deep hole, and they hid inside it.
Lyss also made a foxhole by herself and hid in it with Shia.
After Id confirmed that everyone had taken cover, I went and stood in front of the automatic grenade launcher that was based on the Mk19, which I made at the same time as the PKM (general purpose machine gun) as insurance.
Now then, what was an automatic grenade launcher?
Grenade came from the Spanish word granada, which means pomegranate fruit.
A grenade that was designed to be thrown by hand is called a hand grenade.
In regards to a grenade launcher, you didnt throw it manually like a hand grenade; it was a tool to launch the grenade forward called a grenade launcher (its name changes depending on if its a rifle model, or pistol model etc., but for now lets just call them all grenade launcher).
Normal grenade launchers could only shoot one shot before having to reload, and other models could reach 5~6 shots, but the automatic grenade launcher I made this time used abelt linkto link the grenades together (like a machine guns ammo belt) and could continuously shoot 30~50 shots.
If you could continuously shoot grenades that would explode and shower fragments around, then it would be more effective at defeating enemies hiding in bushes or on the riverside than the machine gun; it was a weapon that was made with that ideology.
The construction was also simple, just applying the shooting mechanism of a heavy machine gun to grenades.
However, the ammo for the automatic grenade launcher was 40mm big, so it couldnt be helped that the launcher was also big.
Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
An ear ringing neigh.
While I was conversing with Snow, a basilisk showed itself from the destroyed barrier stone.
The one that came out this time seemed to be the biggest.
However, before this Mk19 model automatic grenade launcher, it was just a slightly bigger lizard. Nothing more, nothing less.
Before it could take off, I pounded a round of 40mm explosive magic stone buckshot onto its back.
Piiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
With just one shot, the basilisks chicken wings were burned down into pieces and it was robbed of its ability to fly.
I shot a few more rounds, aiming at the ground to nail it in one place.
At the end, I aimed at its head, and the iron balls packed inside turned it into a beehive.
I overwhelmed it without giving it any time to use the petrifying magic eye.
Since the dragoons were flooding out from the destroyed barrier stone, I aimed at the opening and shot. The grenades went inside the hole and exploded.
Pomf! Pomf! Pomf!
Over and over and over, I kept shooting while aimed at the opening hole.
The dragoons coming out became prey to the flame, explosion, and iron buckshot immediately.
By the time I spent all the ammo, most of the basilisks and dragoons were annihilated.
We landed the airship at the barrier stone square.
Oneechan!
Luna jumped down the airship, ran towards, and hugged her big sister, Lyss.
Lyss also hugged her little sister, who returned safely.
When we reached where they were standing, they stopped hugging and wiped the tears from their eyes.
Lute-san, everyone Thank you for saving my sister, and my country.
Without minding the soldiers, she bowed her head really low.
I smiled at her.
Dont sweat it. Arent we comrades?
Yes, youre right. We are precious comrades.
While her eyes were still soaked with tears, her chest throbbed as she raised a beautiful laugh.
Just like that, we had successfully avoided the High Elf Kingdom Enols destruction crisis that was written about in the record book.
