Chapter 17: On the Road to Support

"Now that the preparations for reinforcements have been completed, in terms of numbers, there is an absolute advantage!"

"Now, all the troops have gone out to defend the border, especially ...... The rest of the troops are only those handmaidens who guard Her Majesty's surroundings, and it can be said that the whole army is dispatched. ”

"But right now, the main problem is that there is still time in terms of weapons, and if we have lethal heavy weapons, we can complete reinforcements in a while."

"Heavy weapons, this one is fine, I have it."

As he spoke, he pulled a pistol out of his pocket.

As he searched for weapons, everyone stared at him.

Then he took out the "Browning M2 heavy machine gun".

The gun uses 12.7Γ—99mm NATO bullets with an effective range of 2000m, which makes it slower to fire compared to other machine guns, but with a rate of about 500 to 600 rounds per minute, which is 3 times faster than other machine guns.

It can accurately hit a distance of about 800m away.

Once I was done with my selection, I summoned M2 on the table.

M2 appears after emitting a faint glow similar to that used when summoning M240.

"Lord Tingfeng, what's the difference between this gun and the other?"

"Hera is well asked, this gun shoots farther than the previous one, and with a certain accuracy, it allows you to snipe farther, and it can also be dispersed as before."

"Then I can be as active as I was that day!"

"Well, that's right, but the power is different from before, so be careful."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes"

Hera made a disappointed expression, but continued without worry.

"So? When do you think the enemy will go into action? ”

Seeing this, the queen asked.

"Heh, according to intelligence, the local enemy forces are likely to wait for supplies and reinforcements before attacking, and it seems that the attack will start in a week or so!"

The boss of the intelligence department spoke.

"How long does it take to get from here to Hamilton?"

The queen asked again.

"It takes a week to resupply, and if you resupply in Hamilton, ignore the intermediate supply, it can arrive in five days."

The intelligence boss spoke again.

"I'll leave the supply to you, and I'll give orders to the rescue forces to rescue Hamilton now! Strike tonight! ”

The queen made another decision.

After hearing this, they each made a supreme salute, and then quickly left the room and returned to their respective departments, where only he and Melia were left.

Melia remained motionless, covering her face with her hands.

Melia...... Don't be so frustrated, it'll be fine. ”

"Right now, I'm very scared...... Because I might lose my family on the battlefield again...... Maybe even you. ”

Melia has lost many vassals, friends, family, and subordinates in her past wars with the Dark Empire.

Anxiety arose from the impatience of Hamilton Castle being conquered and the capital approaching.

"It's okay, leave it to me! I also have a secret weapon. ”

In this rescue operation, he wanted to try something like a "test run" of the summoning.

So far he had only summoned firearms, but he could take out vehicles and armored vehicles and see what they were for.

They are in this world to see if they can run.

And then there's the operation and the like.

"Never leave me! I don't want to lose my family anymore. ”

"Mm-hmm, don't worry."

Then he hugged Melia and kissed her softly, as if she had been sucked into something.

The two waited silently for the time to leave.

From the City of Light, the march began at night as planned, and the faces of many soldiers froze, perhaps because of nervousness.

"Are we going to sacrifice ourselves for this country?"

"Stop! Don't say these things that disturb the morale of the military. ”

"Yes!"

Three days later, they reached the middle of the road connecting the royal capital to Hamilton, and when they took a short break to find a place to camp, the news of the approaching enemy patrol made the whole force nervous.

"Report!"

"What!"

"Our patrol has just spotted a group of people who appear to be an enemy patrol about two kilometers from here!"

"Powerful reconnaissance, ready to attack!"

"Yes!"

While saying this to the messenger, Serena was also ready to prepare his equipment and prepare to engage the enemy, he was attracted and loaded with the SIG716 he had brought, and he approached the heavily armed Serena on horseback and told her that he wanted to join the battle.

"Serena! Can I be together? ”

"Lord Tingfeng, this time is more dangerous, you can't go over!"

"Trust me, I have a weapon, it's totally fine."

"But I have His Majesty's strict order to protect your life!!"

"In that case, I'll go with you so you can protect me, won't you? Isn't that safe? ”

Hera took out a SIG716, expertly reloaded the magazine, pulled the lever, and loaded the first bullet into the chamber.

"With this, I will protect Lord Tingfeng, even if it costs me my life."

As if instigated, Sylvia and Lisa Mon, who participated in the march together, also took out SIG716.

Alice and Edith silently prepared the HK416 they had handed them earlier, and everyone loaded their bullets.

"I will also accompany you and protect you. I will dedicate my life to Lord Tingfu. ”

"Thank you."

Serena's men, Mint and Sakura, walked over.

"Okay, Sakura-chan, Mint, you guys follow up too, tell me what's going on."

"Yes."

Serena didn't seem satisfied, but reluctantly agreed.

"Thank you."

He said again.

So, the group began to crusade against the reconnaissance teamβ€”β€”β€”β€”

Tingfeng decided to take a detour to the road ahead and move along the road towards the forest in order to attack the enemy's reconnaissance forces.

However, to do this, they had to move faster than the cavalry, which was the main force of the enemy's reconnaissance forces.

To solve this problem, he deviated slightly from the road this time, took out the system and called the vehicle.

Summoned is the Humvee, a vehicle that can handle various tasks by installing various kits and additional armor, etc., as well as the M249 and M2 used in this operation on the roof.

He chose this because it was easy to use in future actions and operations.

"Good! Ride it and go to the enemy's flank! ”

"Lord Tingfeng? What is this tin box-like thing? ”

"It's a 'Humvee' for multiple soldiers to move, how can you say it...... It's like a carriage without horses moving. ”

Sakura, confused by this explanation, approached the Humvee and looked around.

"How do you move this thing? It was heavier than a horse-drawn carriage, and it didn't look like it could run. ”

"Don't complain about what adults have summoned!"

"Shut up! Genie! I don't listen to you. ”

"Alright, Sylvia, calm down, Sakura-chan too, everyone watch my operation."

He had never driven a car before, but the system had instilled in his mind the knowledge of how to drive.

Therefore, he was able to drive in a flash.
