Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Vol 10 Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Troy City was still gloomy and suffering .

However, I couldn’t give my people time to rest or hold funerals for them . From their perspective, the anthropoids came from the end of the world, but to me, they were just a part of the map in the North .

At least, Ling Yue informed me of how many races there are in the North, though . At present, the anthropoids make up the majority of the population in the North, but they’re also separated into different tribes . At present, the four largest tribes are the Werewolves, Panthermen, the Winged Race, and the Fishmen . The Fox tribe was originally a very large tribe, too, but Ling Yue is the only survivor of the tribe .

According to the map, I think that our most brutal battle will be the large plains in the centre of the North . The North is surrounded by dangerous tall mountains . Once we pass by the Grand Canyon and a valley, we will arrive at a large plain . Two rivers initially ran through the plain, so it should’ve been fertile soil there . However, the river froze long ago; consequently, it’s just barren land there now .

We might have to fight a battle against a strong defence force in the valley . Once we pass the valley, we’ll arrive at the plains, where we will definitely engage in a long battle . As a matter of fact, I may struggle to find stable footing once I get to the plains after powering through the valley to get there .

I must come up with a way to defeat the enemies at the valley and figure out how to find stable footing once we arrive at the plains . Otherwise, we won’t be able to move our heavy cannons across due to the small space available from the Grand Canyon to the valley .

“Behind the palace of the monarch of the North’s palace is a snowy mountain . The stone walls are extremely thick . Extremely thick . Further, they’re also reinforced with magic, so cannons alone are unlikely to be effective . ”

I aimed at the anthropoid in front of me and pulled the trigger . My bullet pierced through his left shoulder, and he cried out in pain, but he continued to look at me with a furious look .

“A shot fired from two-hundred yards away can wound them, but it won’t incapacitate them . That said…”

I picked up a rifle and pulled the trigger again . The bullet flew through the air and shattered the anthropoid’s head . It reduced the inside of this head to pieces, and then stayed stuck in his head . He cried out before dropping to the ground .

“You can still deal significant damage from two-hundred yards away with a shot to the head . It’s a direct kill . ”

I placed the rifle down then looked at Ling Yue, who was next to me . I smiled, “Ah, I heard you . I’ll just utilise another method, since the palace walls are so thick . ”

“If we need to take it down by force, we’ll suffer lots of injuries and deaths, because of the design of the city . I believe in the anthropoids construction capabilities . If you want to take it by force, you…”

“I never said that I would take it by force . I was saying that we could use another method . ” I looked at the data in front of me and continued, “These prisoners of war are much more useful than the horde of anthropoids . I now have data on the bodies of the anthropoids . It doesn’t seem as though their fur can withstand the force of bullets . It’s just that we won’t be able to stop anthropoids that have no sense of pain if we don’t deal enough damage to wound them substantially . ”

Ling Yue looked at the sheet of paper in front of me in silence . From my standpoint, it was data that I collected from thousands of anthropoid prisoners of war . To Ling Yue, however, the data was covered in blood that I gathered after savagely killing her own kind . I stroked her head then turned around . I wiped my hand, and then shouted .

Gunshots and final cries from the anthropoids went off behind me .

Ling Yue tightly grabbed onto my cape and left with me . She didn’t take a final look .

“That’s roughly it . I believe that you can make it for sure, Big Sis . We have the materials and funds to make them, so you don’t need to worry about a thing . ”

A few minutes after, Lorana looked at me . She frowned as she scratched her head, “Your Majesty, I certainly can make them, but I don’t understand what you want these for… These things are heavy to transport, after all… Plus, we need to make ammunition…”

“You don’t need to worry about that . It won’t take many shots, and I have no intention of forming a team . My only intent for it is to use it as a weapon to attack their city . ”

“To attack the anthropoids’ last castle? I’m honestly not sure if a cannon of this size is enough…”

“Obviously, I won’t do something so stupid . I have other plans; you, therefore, don’t need to worry, Big Sis . You just need to create it for me . ”

Lorana looked at me and laughed as she rubbed her head, “You really have grown up, huh? You told me everything in the past, but now you’re holding back . I am only your worker, though, so I don’t have any right to ask too much . Nonetheless, since you have chosen to go to the North, would you be able to find something?”

I nodded and replied, “Of course I can; what is it?”

“Brilliant Moon Stone . ”

Lorana enunciated a name that I’d never heard of before . I looked at her with a stupefied look, and she looked back at me the same way . She then made shrugged with her palms supinated, “Sorry, Your Majesty . I do not have a live example to show you, because it is only produced in the North . It no longer exists here . However, it is a great object for storing mana, hence why I really want to use it . ”

“Store mana?”

My first thought was whether or not I could store some of the mana inside me that goes berserk on full-moon nights using it . Lorana didn’t seem to want to do that, though . She looked at me and took out her notes . She explained, “The truth is, trying to combine humanity’s machines with elven magic was researched long ago . Our seniors left behind high plenty of information and blueprints to examine and create some tools . The thing is, machines operated with mana in that fashion lack the most important component, and that is a mana supply . ”

I lingered for a moment .

‘Mana operated machines? Isn’t that similar to relying on humanity’s internal combustion engine?! That could ignite an industrial revolution!’

I lingered for a moment .

‘Mana operated machines? Isn’t that similar to relying on humanity’s internal combustion engine?! That could ignite an industrial revolution!’

“That is because mana cannot be stored . Ruby and emerald can store very little, too little, in actual fact . That’s not to mention that they are so expensive that they can only be used once . There is no way to use them as a source of energy supply . ”

I nodded . I guess I could consider it to be akin to a battery that can supply mana to machines, then .

“Brilliant Moon Stones are the best stones for storing mana . According to what is recorded, only Brilliant Moon Stones can store mana once, and then be refilled using the moon at night . Further, they should be very cheap in the North, since it was produced mainly to the North of the Grand Canyon . It’s just that they were not important back then . After all, they did not think of that function . I have thought of many machines already . If you could find the area where it is manufactured, I will be able to make my designs a reality . ”

I looked at Lorana, stupefied . I was lost for words . She, however, looked very serious . She wasn’t joking .

‘It turns out an industrial revolution was right by my side this entire time!’
