It was the morning of the day after the training. Hierd was back in the manor and everything was tranquil and cold. Very cold. And when he looked outside his window he saw. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lipoiCfrd
"It's winter."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJspe7r8cEX
The clouds above were grey and the sky's light was rather dim. It made it quite hard to see if there were any figures walking on the road or beside the houses. As the white snow had already ran rampant across the streets and the houses' roofs were covered in it. The coldness had shivered Hierd to the bone as he wore only a dress-shirt and a pair of uncomfortable slacks he got from some closet inside the manor. Frankly, he was too exhausted to wear anything yesterday night but figured that anything would go.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9tQBQwbF6
A knock. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDEmYFj6pR
"Wait a second!" He yelled. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUbpoF4j5O
He put on his boots and then his suit. Then his cap. The suit made him warmer then he imagined. But he decided to put on gloves as well. He fixed his hair and quickly brushed his teeth. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfGJrChpnn
He opened the door.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFcNazfWiL
"Good Morning, Lord Hierd." It was Adelheid, and he was wearing a Venit-Ille black uniform. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykeLL3quwt
"Where did you get it?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CFiVhrAIv
"You don't remember?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPytAL8BW9Z
"No...?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPC1qDnqW3
"You keep a box of them stored in the... 'Just-in-case' section in the storage room downstairs. And I was dying for one of your uniforms."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLAeIIyALy
They both chuckled. "Well uh... What is it?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC6pZ2meXU
"There's some people who wish to meet you." He chuckled nervously.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1AJPjWlah
"Who?"
( * )
"Good Morning, lord." A captain, presumably of a ship of course. He didn't scream pirate or England's finest. His face evoked that 'captain-Barbossa' look as he had rather long hair with some locks of hair being braided. His hat too, that hat was the only thing that would distinguish him truly in a crowd of pirates. As it was decorated with decorated with a golden seal of sort and he had also this distinct sailor-accent.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5hkbgzyJ0
"Good Morning to you too." Hierd grunted as he sat down on his chair. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fPwlTMtEl
"I'm Captain Jack Huntsman! At your service." He saluted. it was the first instance of a salute Hierd had ever seen before. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQQc4mycQw
"What do you wish of me, sir Jack?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2CgFKPl41
"I unde'stan' that ur' coun'tree possesses a... Unique ship? Ein' Iron ship say yee." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalFFkGl4qh
Hierd pulled a face as he tried to understand what he said. But as he understood fully, his gaze was then cast onto Adelheid. "I've never told anyone except the ones who were at the meeting that day about an iron ship." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlRb27tCMN
"How do you know this?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ340dcKTRMB
"Ere' sir Adeelheed told's me that. Which tells I that yee' needs a cap for yee' ship, me lord." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT9FoyXckV
He sighed. "Such a ship my country has in their possession is as big as this whole city-"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx2JU1wuy6
"WHAT!? For the lord's dane o' I be damned! Your country has a ship like that!? I needs to see it, me lord!" His excitement had jumped out, getting out of his chair just to stand up and celebrate. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEYWjx008G
"Let me continue, sir Jack." He sat back down, his excitement in the fact still evident. "Though, we have multiple other ships smaller than that. Our biggest of ships are called; Battleships. and our smallest of ships are called; Corvettes. The bigger the ship, the more men are needed to house and power such a behomoth, as well as it's many guns."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuNPYU6Uv7
"Many guns!? Battleships!?" He was awestruck, astonished by the nature of the words Hierd was clashing them with. "If it'd be bigger than ye city than that'd mean that it'd be slow, right me lord? I can't begin to imagine just how many wooden sails and masts ye has to just move that!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgDubDIVIV
"Well, it uses another invention. Have you seen our guns and trucks, sir Jack?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OJEo3fV4X
"Much indeed! Ur' soldiers ride them things everyday! For goodness sake the transportation of supplies from port to house hasn't been more easier! I thank ye soldiers for that oun. But, dem' iron moving things ye called trucks? They're some magical power, me lord. Magic I tell. And yet I see no magic any where round' that thing!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidCuEjlwd0
"It'd be a pain to explain the mechanism. But in the topic of ships. It has a similar property. But because of this invention we use for our battleships. Even the wooden ships widely used today, the frigates to the galleons wouldn't outmatch the speed of a battleship." He smirked. "I can say confidently that one battleship could destroy a fleet of five-hundred galleons."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCpUftrt5X
The atmostphere darkened to an extent. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAOw08ex8k
"That's... That's certainly a hell of a ship, me lord. I'd like two!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ839AP3Ta
"Ha..." He sighed. "That's not going to happen, sir. Unless of course an admiral of my country wishes to accompany. However, we... We are quite held-aback by something in the fatherland."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAfKgbhZbE
"I see, I see." His eyes pierced Hierd's. It was as if he was looking into his mind. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuEm5czP4R
Uncomfortable; he said. "However... Though I won't be able to... Supply the demand, I still wish to have a navy. I am not aware of how the sea works and having someone who I believe... Lives, in the waters, you in my command would be very much appreciated!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLsizZN3FA
"Thank yee' lord."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfJLMEki9L
"But." He interjected. "You will need to complete the basic soldier course. That is currently being conducted by my Major, Naturvege. I believe you can start tommorow."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rDMWLvzNI
He remained silent. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfvmNFi1WB
"Your presence will be requested for tommorow's training, you will recieve a suit, a luger, and a sword."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFHCt87kSC
"Thank yee' kindly."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9mQvy1DBv
"However." He interjected. "Your suit will differ from the others. I wish to employ you as Germany's first naval captain. And, if your training does well, captain, you will then be training how to use a destroyer."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ8NQzell3
"A destroyer!?" He exclaimed. "Der' name evokes me' a certain kind of way! Destroyer... What'er it's differences to ur' battleship, me lord?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBgmO5i9eu
"It is noticeably... Smaller, then a battleship. But it's nimbleness and its armaments compare in a way to the battleship."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVcRCPLpX9
"I see..." he was rubbing his chin. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv73iSVDFVv
"I think we are done here, I am to do something else today. You may see yourself out." After saying this, his eyes gazed towards Adelheid. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA9zeAZFts
Jack bowed down low, and quite animatedly, he marched out. As if he was balancing himself on an imaginary rocking wooden ship. And as the wooden door of the office slammed shut. Adelheid nervously sat on one of the chairs. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAWcuNBbQT
"I have yet to tell the public about the 'iron ship' I had mentioned in the first meeting we had ever." He started intently at Adelheid. "So what happened? Why'd you told him?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaih6UwRHG
He sighed. "I had... Told captain Jack of your iron ship once in a conversation. And well... After hearing that, he wished to meet you."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEH4dNfbpf
"When?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hOG3Nshm6
"It was some days ago. But you were occupied with the kicking out the syndicate, so I had told him that he couldn't meet you then, but now that... You're in-a-way, free of some hurdles. I told him to come today. But... I did not expect him to come this early."
"I haven't alot of experience about naval warships. And the sea is definitely not my expertise. And as the fatherland is busying themselves, I'd have to teach the sailors. I didn't want to create a navy this early in. However..." He rested his back onto the seat. "It definitely isn't bad." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ldJiQP2e
Adelheid sighed in relief.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YYpbX5bdf
"But as punishment. You will be reading the manual on how to operate a destroyer. As I have yet to learn-up on how to operate one, per-say."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxRU7HtqP6
Adlheid sighed in defeat. "I shall, lord."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphgTGIa3So
"Now, I must meet with Pomlik. I believe I've given him enough time to develop even a prototype."
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8E361D6mp

558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75QAfo5Iho
The cold of the outside was even more than the inside of the manor. The smoke coming out of the brick chimneys had made the place look busy even though there wasn't even a single hint of a person outside. Only the occasional adventurer or that ignorant man in summer clothing. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiXKZod8xO
His squad was behind him, their hands were in their pouches as they were not given gloves unlike Hierd. "Does Naturvege intend to hold a training today?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD1nOEHdB4
"Yes, lord."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9ay3yE0m1
"In this climate?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLReBA76i0
"Yes, lord."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCi4DpbbUt
"Have they already marched towards Venit Ille?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFUBFJPsX3
"Yes, lord. It was approximately dawn when their march was conducted." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3RRwaMHqs
"I feel sorry for those recruits, their uniforms weren't made for the cold!" Hierd cried out a comical whimper.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1az5V2vR19
A quick turn, and their eyes were sighted on the craft guild's walls and door. There were a dozen chimneys on it's roof. The smoked that released from it had, in-a-way, darkened the sky. And that distinct smell of gunpowder flooded the road beside it. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBT6x9uSrk
Coming nearer, Hierd noticed the lack of customers. The people were detered by the now pungent smell. The windows were blocked off with a curtain of sorts, if one were to go by such a guild one would think it'd be a factory of sorts and not a guild. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYQbrmtJiX
One of his soldiers opened the front door.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi8dG33Nc6
A cloud of smoke. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQL0ejyJMa
Hierd coughed, shoo-ing the smoke away from his face. "Goodness! Pomlik! Pomlik! I can barely see anything inside here!" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUKPanLsAT
"Gahh!" Exclaimed a suprised voice. "Is that the lord!? Quick, quick! Everyone open the windows!" A scatter of footsteps neared Hierd. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxi2e0xcqu
He felt as if he was getting pushed, shoved a little to that side and that side. But after some loud three-or-so minutes the black smoke that blocked any visibility had simply went away. The outside of the guild looked as if an explosion had just went off and the smoke was being let-away. Scared a couple people too.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1kjxq5uVR
The inside had a factory's decorum. The dwarves were dressed with weird suits that covered their whole skin and the wood that was near that gunpowder was covered with a tarp, supposedly to prevent the wood from burning.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoNZN7STvS
"Good Afternoon, lord." Said an exhausted Pomlik. "We were just testing out one of our bullet experiments. And as you may see." He looked behind him, to the weird factory-like ornaments that were attached from ceiling to floor and floor to ceiling. And at the middle of it all, a contraption. Hierd walked over to it.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7kOWqxzeP
"Ah! Be careful, lord, you may trip and fall."He reached out his hands towards him as if he was helping a baby take it's first steps. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMpHc47lxX
He nodded it off and continued to walk forward. "Can you explain to me what's happening here?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpWBcSt1Sa
"Yes, of course my lord." He skedaddled over to him. His workers had came to his assistance. Hierd had bent down to get to the level of said contraption. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RwWrTxI0M
"Based on my understanding of how the luger works, I devised this... Contraption. A metal striker with the same cylinderical hole, which is modeled the same as the luger's you had shown me." He pointed at it. "This thing strikes the metal hole at the back of the cartriage--and speaking of cartiages--" He pulled out from his vest's pocket a bullet, it looked like the 9mm Parabellum the luger uses. Hierd had opened his palm and Pomlik carefully placed the bullet on it. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVtiII6WOb
Hierd looked at the bullet with astonishment. "They managed to make one of these in what... Two? Three, days? Impressive."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1C4d1im5V
"How much and how long did it take?" Hierd placed the bullet down carefully on the metal plate that was the contraption. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9KQbETE5q
Pomlik chuckled. "Well actually! It took us just a day, my lord."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTWUoJ1ikP
"A day!?" Hierd was aweshocked! "That's terrifiying, and amazing! Nice work, Pomlik!" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxFAud2hlD
"Thank you kindly, my lord." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTOE5ot8o1
"How did you--" Taking a quick glance at the workers behind him, he added; "And your companions, create it?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZe8A6mGvD
"A dwarf's enginuity is better experienced than said, lord." He looked smug and confident, the dwarves behind him had the same expression as his. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycsO2YKqHC
"Well, atleast we have the bullet. How much did you make?" He said again. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh5GE5xiMl
"Ah," He looked to the heavens, gouging his memories and grasping at one. "Ten. We had used all but one in our experimenting today. Three had worked to our favor."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6nOsd7oEy
"A three-in-ten chance of firing?" Hierd inquired. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ251h194KbP
"No, not of that sort, lord. More of that the rest of rounds exploded immidiately or was weak in power."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf8KQ9h8zF
"And the three?" He pressed on. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGFaQIZWs9
"They had fired as intended! Or was that we had saw when we fired that luger's 9mm... Parabellum? You had given to us."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7RQwOjXFH
Hierd stood up as his knees were about to give away. Looking at the whole thing in disbelief. "This'd turn out easier than I thought it would be, now, to commision them to make and keep making these bullets..."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfZmwUGA3s
"I wish for the guild to continue making a successful version of the 9mm bullet." He took a breath. "Because of this, the guild will need both resources and money to continue operating, correct?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauCzA1NA68
They nodded. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlLkc89Wn5
"And as well as you upkeeping the guild's primary purpose, I wish to install a factory. However, this factory will not be connected to the craft guild."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7gGydG8BI
"Not be connected? My lord, do you imply that we are to abandon the guild and work under you?" Said a dwarf behind Pomlik. The other dwarves were intrigued in what answer will utter from Hierd regarding it. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU9sAZJsnr
"What if?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctwxkP7Sxu
"Well..." Said Pomlik. "This neither is bad nor good, is it? Whilst the guild will not be directly affiliated with any military campaign, it will concern the guild seeing that their workers have indeed gone under your rule, my lord. And too comes that question, 'What will become of the guild after?' This I take notice, will effect merchants and the people."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZowuWpDOl
Hierd had taken a step back and questioned himself. "This is hard. Without the guild, comes that uncertainty. What will happen with the city? Without the guild, What'll happen to the merchants and the adventurers? What if..."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaXRH3p0hq
"I shall shut down the craft's guild instead!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBLrc4S6iJ
"Wha-- What!?"
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0aOLRkQnV
( * )
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyFGSwHK9E
At the manor, Hierd had gathered the engineers and architects who attended the last meeting. Pomlik and other members of the craft guild was there. Adelheid had sat at the side to spectate the meeting. "I will be, at the creation of the factory I wish made, banning the guild, the craft guild, to be operating in the city."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRGDkbUyBJ
Silence and intrigue filled the air. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneQRJ1zi25
"This... New factory," started Pomlik. "Shall it be the same uses as what the guild does already?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnuWPbUCcf
"It shall work exactly the same as the guild, but! It shall be run under a new name. Under a new guise. That of my nation, that of my army, that of my rule." He pressed his hands together, interlocking. "In the building of this factory, I stress the fact that the way of making buildings in this country's common sense is satirical to my country's advanced kind. We use... More advanced methods of building, whilst the kingdom's are inferior to ours. I shall introduce a new compound, a new way of building, and a new way of architecture and of engineering."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnenk2wbpkg
A silent applause. The engineers looked at him with a smile. The architects were intrigued and were suprised. "These methods, my lord." Said one of the architects. "How come are they inferior to the kingom's?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKPkBRJhTU
"Supported by steel, carried by concrete." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2etntDkVvx
"Concrete?" They all looked at Hierd with confusion and awe. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MlYAPk8vG
"Yes, concrete." He said again. "Concrete is something that at it's base is merely powder. But after a complex chemical change, shall turn into a mush. This mush shall then be used to shape a building. Then when time grows older, shall this mush harden as much as rock. And, the steel? Concrete in it of itself is weak without support, much alike using stone without wood for houses two-up. So, we use rebar, something that is made of steel and poured with said concrete. Building this integrity never before seen. Outrivaling any other method out there."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9QnLHMqHS
The engineers were shocked and confused. And everyone else in the room was merely braindead to the amount of words spat on about by Hierd. His ramble was rather incoherent to the ones who couldn't understand. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRICLw4rxYm
"When do you wish the build be started, my lord?" Said one of the engineers. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEs1Dk3VP5
"I wish for the engineering team and the architectural team to cohere with themselves. And under a week's time, learn the effects, the how's and whys. And begin trying out methods of making buildings. By the usual brick, or by another architectural design."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYEVpjniWk
"Oh? Then if we have the time today, may we talk of those architectural and engineering designs and techniques? As the engineer team's leader, I wish--no--my comrades and I wish for these knowledge to reach our ears now and not a moment later." His eyes had sparkled under the heavy stars that said, I'm intrested, get me hooked.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2sxtouLaf
"That certainly is something I wish to do as well." He said with a grin. He placed his hand on his lap.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF9E7J5aWb
"Voice, give me a book about German architecture."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMCIez7m5C
[REQUEST GRANTED: DER VATERLAND'S ARCHITEKTUR]558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP2A5IepFs
The book laid on his lap, he didn't bring it out yet though. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTSsAG7TqA
"What is your name, sir?" Inquired Hierd.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XCpWlvvgw
"I am Dior, my lord." He got up and bowed. "I am the engineering team's leader, and have undergone many engineering challenges in my career, all, of course, suceeding." He said with a confident smile. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO6W7dLmyj
Hierd looked closely at him. He was rather pale, but so would anyone in winter. And his figure looked rather small. His face made him looked younger than his greying hair entailed. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFGXzKimb5
"My lord." Said Adelheid with a worried expression. "Auferstehen always strikes at winter's dawn. Though the exact timing may be off by week or day, Auferstehen breaks at winter, in the worst of times." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPz0yWHiih
Looking ignorant of the news, he said; "We don't need to worry just yet, Adelheid. The making of such factories will be an afterthought, but as I know we wil win the battle, why not stress to plan the future's delight?" He smiled from ear to ear. "Besides, I am not letting the city fall in the hands of a demon's."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm24ppmcBh
"I see, lord." The men in the meeting room applauded Hierd's confidence and audacity silently. He then rested back on the wall and crossed his arms. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN9nkV2etm
"In the meanwhile, as I had said, the engineers and architects shall experiment with the making of concrete. The craft guild will continue their working in Unchean until, of course, the factory be done." He looked up and thought for a bit. "Presumably... At the end of Auferstehen I take it."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fiRM4HPHT
"Thank you, lord." Said Pomlik. "However, I pain to ask; this... Creating of a new factory. Will it benefit the people better than the guild already does? Shall it get more supplies? Shall it become a better environment, for both member and customer?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5XKlE6kSn
"That is a possibility, and that too is something I wish! But, we can't say really what'll happen. But I, with my knowledge and the architects and engineers. Hope to ensure a better environment and a larger one in fact."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE0RmvE8GL
"A larger one?" Questioned one of the engineers. "The city does not currently possess many plots to build upon."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPQN4aXXbp
"Then we shall destroy the walls!" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlTzexLwJ0
"Destroy the walls!?" He stood up and exclaimed. "Excuse my speech, my lord, however the walls have long protected the city and it's citizens for years more than I could count! I stress that after we tear down these walls, the next Auferstehen shall be detrimental, deadly, and hell-ish."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXTqi4xhaO
"My country shall overcome anything. Everything. Not one man, nor monster shall overcome the weaponry my country has in their hands. And as much as you stress, I too shall stress that I will protect and I will destroy anything that comes to our living with malicious intent."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkuXckD4de
The man sat back down. "If so do you wish, my lord." He said nervously.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWrjkZk7TK
"Now." He rested upon his chair. " Lets talk architecture!"

In the cold, white fields that was the Venit Ille's training grounds. Was the company of soldiers huddled together and confided warmth with the rubbing of their hands and the covering of their ears. However, the majority of the men had adjusted to the cold and were completely fine. But it can be said that the cold had dissipated as the snow's raining from the morning was gone and the sun was seeable.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWiWZ4nPit
With noses red and faces pale, Naturvege, after putting the sabre on his belt, yelled; "Soldiers! Do you remember what we are to do today!?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUIfiAHOx4
"Yes, sir!" They yelled in chorus. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMedZuZevYo
Naturvege walked to one of them. "You! What is it that we're to do today?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqua4yoIoh
"W-we, are to train-to-to, use the sabre, sir!" He stuttered not from the cold but from the pressuring of Naturvege. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBXAY0CrXn
"Can't you speak, soldier!? Speak up! If you will just stutter your speech, have you any right to call yourself a soldier-in-training!?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaNotVIQR7
"We are to train to use the sabre, si-sir!" He had said in a blitz. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp0MozgU7f
Naturvege stepped far back. "Yes! Yes! We will be training with sabres the lord has given us!"
The sound of the blade exiting the scabbard was a pleasure to the ears of knights. And Naturvege looked to have been reminiscing his days as one as he looked and admired it. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwoh7nmtZH
"This beauty, is a cavalry sword! It shall be swung by one hand whilst your other shall hold your luger!" He slashed the air. "It's razor sharpness shall make it easier to drive your blade deep into your enemy's flesh. And with the combined effort of your luger, which shall shoot while slashing, will make killing your enemy something comparable to child's play!" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksJcAs8AUb
They looked at Naturvege with observant eyes, the sabre, it was a quality they have never before seen in a sword. And the handle looked to have been furnished with a gold-like plating. They figeted, not because of the cold but of the sword, that sabre they carried in their scabbards. Terrified that they'd damage the gold plating and be too cowardly to swing. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P9HTBUKrM
"I! Will split you all in groups of thirty!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "Of the six groups that will be made, the squad leaders and I will begin training you to swing your sabres! Now, split!"

By the second day, meant too the second class. It started a bit later than the first as Adelheid postponed it a little because of the craft guild's meeting.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGnZMI0eb5
The soldiers focused, looking at the blackboard and their notes. They were far away from the cold of the outside, very far away. As the inside of the classrooms were so hot that the soldiers, whoms't were wearing black trench suits, had gotten rid of them in order to just stop sweating. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlpDlcqnnl
In the breakroom, Adelheid and Jamie were tending to their due rest. They had showed themselves out early as the classes they were teaching were more than understanding of their lessons. And left them to review on it, though they'll come back after some moment's notice. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLGhELcJ27
Jamie had made tea, it was a warm-yellow in color, and Adelheid had never seen anything like it before. And that aroma it exuded made it to Adelheid's scenes. It played with him.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgUkQswwoA
"What is this?" He picked the cup up and examined it. He took a sniff, the aroma was quite enchanting. Sweet and floral, he thought. He took a sip.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M7Owd7J0L
"That is a gift from lord Hierd, sir Adelheid." She smiled as she saw him drink it. "I believe it is called... Jasmine tea?" She sipped it too.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcdXa0EzzZ
They both looked and were indeed relaxed. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEIMelH3kI
The heat of the tea made drinking it quite hard in an already hot environment, but just because of it's taste and aroma, one wouldn't resist drinking it. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV64KEcXAjD
The outside, Adelheid looked. Was quite lively in spite of the season. Whether the people were confident in their lord regarding Auferstehen's striking, or that they were merely oblivious to it all. But no, such thing wouldn't be. The first would have to be right, he thought. The clouds began to clear up and he could see children playing with the snow. Making snowballs, throwing them at their friends. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbL5kL4dB5
It was a scene never before seen during his father's rule. As his father prioritized a strict policy, that everyone stayed home and that no person will eat more than they are given, that they should ration their food. Ever were theirs abundant, would be given to Unchean's army.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6OfPqtRxD
He gave a light sigh. His eyes looked thankful. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64i39kuOvL
"Is there something wrong, sir Adelheid?" She went closer to Adelheid, to assess his expression. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7tzf6QvP5
"No, nothing." He pulled himself back, to farther himself from her face. "It's just that, It feels like summer inside here." Commented Adelheid, sipping his cup of tea. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv2FyPeD0z
"Ah that?" She pulled herself back to her seat. "I am not quite sure of the logistics of it all, since I heard it from the soldiers but..." She recollected a little bit about the thing she heard. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTAjQIfZlR
"The dwarves were experimenting a... Heat gem, of sorts?" Said Jamie. "I have no idea what and how it works. But, it works splendidly." She smiled and continued to sip her own tea. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzBmmVR5g1
"Do you think it came from the academy?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsJHjPirrO
"How could the academy come to this controlled city?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mFp7pogP
"By ship." He said with enthusiasm. "I suppose the locked And Shut law imposed by Hierd doesn't apply that much to overseas people? The craft guild would not have enough trouble with their contacts with the academy, well... The academy is contracted to help guilds about new stuff and all."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZd7oClyBI
"Fair enough, sir Adelheid."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBXJLOP8hu
"Well, atleast we're away from the cold." He turned to look at her. "How was your class, miss Jamie?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFpbmC4flL
"Please, sir Adelheid, call me Jamie." She became quickly flustered. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV8m80Heqb
"Ah, yes." He chuckled. "I forgot! Well, then, Jamie, what of your class?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JDZrsNzUK
Her face turned quickly serious. "It was fine, sir. The soldiers had understood mostly what I had disscussed about. I'm sure Auferstehen will be nothing but a brush of the wind for the soldiers. A... Live-action training session, is what one could say it would be."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlC24QKbOj
"You're rather confident for the capabilities of the army." He sipped his tea. "How so?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAeIEyLcrx
"Frankly, sir;" She recollected some thoughts before saying; "Hierd's army is hundreds of times more better than what the previous lord of Unchean had. I had no qualms with that previous lord, but I would rather he perish and give way for Hierd. For if he were to rule longer than he did, this city'd fall to ruin." Her face had a dark mood to it, and Adelheid rolled a sweat down his face lookign at her. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmjHDtLulc
"With our addition, and as well as sir Naturvege's training. Our army will be stronger than ever. And may all applause go to our lord, Hierd." She continued.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClUn2pApMs
"Our diplomatical challenges will come in a matter of weeks." He stared outside. "At the end of this damned Auferstehen, the kingdom will come with blades and rocks and they'll throw them at us. And with that, too will the rest of the world come at us. With sharp eyes and metal swords. Whether or not our lord can indeed be the best, may we live to see that future."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy0RZCT1y1
"I agree to that, sir Adelheid. But I am sure that lord Hierd has cards that shall be dealt when times have become dire."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QDtdgBziX
The breakroom's door had opened with a large bang. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBxlEJ0tW6
"Ahhhh!" Yelled in exhaustion by the young nuns. "That's another completed!" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UT0nk6Tna
Adelheid stood up from his wooden seat. "Good Afternoon, sisters."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXbifslQSB
"Good Afternoon, sir Adelheid." They bowed down. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUOFFz9a0q
He sat back down. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwXBTGmN5m
The nuns had sat on their chairs. And soon enough the break room was lively in chatter. Flerida, grasped by the aromatic tea, came to Jamie and Adelheid's table. "Good afternoon." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxnHvvz0ZI
"Good afternoon." She said expressionless. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUZIHMq7h4
"May I ask a question?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NRDorf7Az
"Which is?" She sipped her tea. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJICSuc4dBk
"That tea, what is it?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOLhbEqH3D
"It is Jasmine tea, given to me by lord Hierd."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAVoC9mYEx
"Ah?" She said, twiddled her thumbs. "If it is a gift, I shan't intervene-"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TBFDaUDh1
"Do you wish to taste the tea, sister?" Interjected Adelheid. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRCRkm1fsT
"Well, the lord gave it to you, sir. I must be acting in disrespect if I were to taste it." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzOGc6Wbww
"No, no, don't be. I will prepare a basket-ful of such tea by tommorow, sister."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECzceJRZ4u
"Umm..." She became nervous. However, just near her, a ball of negative influence became more and more opaque by the second. "I think--" Sweat rolled down her face as Jamie's face began to slowly look her way-- "I should go, sir." She hurried away. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcdWfPTK1P
Adelheid, perplexed, then looked at Jamie. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBOIQPwbuy
"I'm sure the lord will give the nuns some commodities, such as tea, sir. You musn't worry." She said with a smile. It looked rather deceitful.

"Such a unique form of architecture." Said one of the architects. "It looks like a castle's designs! The arches, the unique intricacy. It's very fasinating! But the construction of one, will be something that'll take months to make, my lord." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50nl02VLHA
Looking at him, intrigue was all that was left in the architect's eyes. "Which is why we'll be starting that practicing of using cement tommorow."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH9mq4HvUA
"Thank you, lord." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllWkMbBHdk
"No, I should thank you." He smiled. "Your cooperation with us is greatly appreciated."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHOsHNc8Lc
They stood up. "Goodbye, lord Hierd." They said in unison. Bowing as they said it. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ0qAs5kyk
Hierd sat in the silence for a bit. Then as time grew old, stood up and opened the door. The ghast of cold had brushed him, the window was open. He felt blood rushing towards his head. "May someone close that damned window!?" He exclaimed. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5TmiqQoPh
A maid ran fast to him. "I am very sorry my lord!" She put her hand and slammed the window down. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgvN6ag4xO
"Thank you." He neared her. "I've yet to see you before, who are you?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW8KLXLrQ5
"You don't need to know my name, my lord!" She put her head down. "I am sorry for not closing the window earlier."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu79KT5d21j
"I..." He looked at his past self with a sigh. "I should be sorry, I yelled at you. Please, continue on your day."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm14EzESFEB
"Th-thank you, my lord." She lowered herself as she bowed then swiftly made her exit. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8r5oKbljo
Looking at her as he went away. Hierd thought to himself; "What happened there...? I got irritated all of the sudden. I think I've been overdoing myself recently. Gotta get a break. But... How can I get a rest when battle's near. Damn."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eZy5ycQsn
He massaged his head. A headache was coming in. "I guess winter's not really the thing for me."
558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy9LxmwSOh

558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM4GiHdyUW
After a night of blissful sleep, Hierd woke up with the feeling that one gets when getting a full ten hours of sleep. At peace and rejuvinated. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9iV687voi
A knock. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI2kheHDfK
"Wait just one moment!" He yelled. He got up from his bed. Wore his suit and slacks, his boots and cap. Brushed his teeth and applied this time a fragrant perfume. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uxkRlCiqq
He went to the door and opened it. "Yes?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwvOC7SegC
It was Adelheid once more. Looking at him, his mood dropped remembering the last time he was woken up by him. "Good Morning, lord Hierd. I'm here to report the progress over the three days."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZa3qHcnay
"Oh? Well isn't that good." He smiled, bringing back up his mood. "But you didn't need to, Adelheid."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgVkzDPYbo
"Well, even if, I'd still need to."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLuhhxKMYS
"Why so?"

Back again at the office. This time, there was an abundance of members who were there. The room was so full that there weren't enough chairs to fit them all. The chiefs of all the guilds were there, too did their accomplices came with. Friedrick was there, the architects and the engineers, and Adelheid as well. Looking at it all, Hierd's face was nervous and was dripping with sweat. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zOEsJQiRb
The room was full of chatter but as Hierd stood up, it all stopped. "Good morning, everyone!" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYqLh5lRwk
"Goodmorning, lord!" They stood up and bowed. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiynWZ83OZ9
After they had sat down onto their wooden seats, a brief moment of awkward silence incited Hierd to say; "Well... Everyone. Thank you for waiting for my presence. I do not know how this meeting will ensue, so I propose that it shall go from left to right." He smiled after ending the statement. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MLFBMLL5S
The man farthest left had stood up. It was the engineer from the day before. "My lord." He stood and bowed. "I came here to inquire of the... Cement practicing?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz1PTIAB8h
"Ah, I will teach you how just after the meeting, you may wait till then." Dior, the engineer had sat down. His companions then gossiped with each other. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjfKGjOgTN
Beside him, the merchant guild's chief had gotten up, it took awhile for Hierd to remember his name but after some time, he got it. Felliz! 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPXejcJJ5T
"My lord." He bowed, gracefully so. "I wish to know the current situation about the craft guild. A new factory? The deconsecrating of the craft guild of Unchean concerns the guilds and too the people. We would like a follow-up regarding it." He bowed again before sitting down. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89HWaqh96E
Hierd took a second to gather his thoughts. "Unchean, indeed, will be deconsecrating the craft guild from operating inside the city walls. Take this to no hostility, I wish only to have the craft guild under my name. And a way of doing this, is to deconsecrate and replace the craft guild. Thus the factory."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbod2NmHxnO
"And I take it, this factory is better than the current workplace of the craft guild?" Inquired Felliz with intrigued eyes, 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFoMbhWhI2
"Yes, for it includes a wider plot and the construction will have many engineering marvels of Germany inside of it. And as time grows on, wish for all Unchean to have the same engineering marvels."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTPqmLjDFl
"And this is related to the... Breaking down of the walls?" He inquired, his face looked the same as how a journalist expresses intrest upon some thing.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicoXelLMc0
"Yes." He sighed. "The walls are something that invoke the feeling of being trapped. One could say; like a prison. Though in the policy I have proposed and laid down under the Unchean people, wherein they cannot leave. The walls make me seem like a totalitarian leader with a regime befitting a monster." Seeing his face, Hierd thought that he wished to question about after the fact.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB3IRMrYL2
"The walls will not, of course, be torn down during Auferstehen, and instead, after it. And even by the next Auferstehen, I profess that Germany's armaments will be enough to deal with the behemoths. And there is no need to worry about what will happen." Hierd smirked. "My country's greatness will outrival their strength. Besides! How come that there are kingdoms still alive today?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjuhp1zO1r
Felliz nodded with a smile. "Thank you for answering my questions, lord Hierd."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXkAKybl2C
Then, Hierd's gaze fell onto the next one in line, Gerald. The adventurer guild's chief. Seeing his gaze, he stood up swiftly. "Lord." He bowed quickly, then sat back down again. "The adventurer guild's been having some problems."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs53POo5xR
"How so?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKVpublzOY
"We believe that the adventurer's been leaking information about Unchean's current situation. And we have done everything to stop it."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHPAff9FyG
Hierd sighed. "Well, it was inevitable. I thank you for trying to stop them. Let them be, if we will be in war with them anyhow, atleast let it be known that we stand, that Germany has invaded the kingdom. And no-one. Not even that king. Shall destroy the nation." He smiled. "Is that all, Gerald?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM5mZkAh5h
"Yes, lord; and thank you." His grin looked nervous.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH9rMlPWQ9
Then his glanced met with the right side. Adelheid, whoms't was looking at him, when their eyes met, Adelheid had startled himself up. "Lord." He bowed in quick succession. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrQubX401o
"The progress report?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlot8mHXQKY
"Yes." He fixed his posture and stood straight. "The education project has gone way above expectations."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgFuNpkMNs
"How so?" Hierd questioned him, adjusting his seat closer to the table. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WdhrGc3Hy
"The soldiers have demonstrated great learning capabilities. They had fully grasped basic mathemathics and had understood decently the ways of killing a monster. And are now with Naturvege and the captain to join the training."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCooaccwqsQ
"They're done with the schooling?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtVMUt2xnw
"No, we thought it'd last weeks, but as they had learnt the basic principles, we thought they needed a break for their good work."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmuguAl6JS
"Okay... Continue." He gestured his hands.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXMqVXboAe
"I wish for sir Pomlik to deliver it; it is in regards of the 9mm prototype."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdo4hlaQP6
Pomlik stood up on his wooden seat and announced himself to the meeting room. "Good morning everyone! I am, as you know, Pomlik. The chief of the craft guild."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKduPFYOvBL
They nodded.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o9bsPGyLF
"We proudly bring, under the work of the many men of the guild and the cooperation with the soldiers. The 9mm Pommil." He grabbed from his pocket the bullet he mentioned. It looked to have glittered under the light. He but it down next to Hierd. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3dAnLbLXj
"That is a very faithful remaking!" Remarked Hierd. Pomlik had grabbed another bullet from his pocket, it was the 9mm Parabellum; he put the two bullets side-by-side for Hierd to observe. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JPVTBlMu6
"A different name? I assume these rounds are special, in a way?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWMqD9slQZ
"Yes, lord." Pomlik said with a pleased smile. "Inside we have put a bit of our own dwarven technology. Whilst the outside remained the same, the inside has a special kind of gunpowder, so it takes a bit longer to make. However, we can make normal, regular ones for faster production. We are also in the process of making a contraption to make the process faster."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe0Tavr0mo
"That's good." He observed the 9mm Pommil closer. "So what is the difference between the two when firing?" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DUzcfovZd
The observers looked at the bullets with awe, the gold-look to the cylinder made them think it was some jewelry, however, some knew and understood what it really was used for. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvZcx8QMX1
"The Pommil, when fired, deals more penetration to the target, making things pierce through things like it were butter." He sighed. "However, because of this, the recoil felt is more treumendous. And, as I've observed, the amount of heat will probably melt the barrel faster, lord."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3YA7onfFE
"I see." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89U8QRCuDw
"So it's like a pack-a-punched version of a luger? Nice." Hierd smiled. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK2luDZKKg
"How much of the normal 9mm can you make?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2PhWXZQRr
"Right now, ten per day. However; if the contraptions we've devised are completed, I think we'd be able to make twenty a day, if the flow of materials are smooth."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiIQdxnEdj
"That's good." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zmergsxxC
Pomlik sat down on his seat, and as he had, Adelheid had stood up. "The training, is going smoothly, and it will end at two days. After captain Gerald has recieved basic training, we will be setting up a test for him to complete regarding the warship."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62UD0MsXsv
"Warship!?" The engineer exclaimed. The rest of the room had the same expression. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJHMWItRST
Taking the chance to entertain their silent questions filling the air. Hierd said. "Yes, warships. Not galleons or of frigates. But warships that clad in iron, warships capable of leveling ground. That, is what the Germany navy has."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8ghiWZubt
They sat on their seats silent. "We will be able to see them?" Questioned him. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFBQHa6zAt
"Yes, for this city does not have naval superiority, we will be doing so after Auferstehen."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP1eXgk0o7
Felliz had risen his hand. "Does this warship, where it is clad in iron, have great speed? And great defense?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrurolqj9kU
"Yes, and even ones which are bigger than the port can move faster than your galleons, frigates and all. And, they are not restricted to the wind's the sails flow with."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbi8LiS0xs
The merchant gasped. "May we know if they can be used for our merchant's guild? Such an invention will change the ways of sea travel and naval battle!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Hph8ZI6z
"I'm sorry, sir Felliz." He lowered his face. "These warships are to be used only for military purposes. However, it is not to be said that they cannot be used for the public. Infact there are some ships made for the public. For transportation or for cargo. But, the training of using these ships far outweigh the pros when sold without help. So we wish for the navy to be the rulers of the sea, and after, the soldiers will be able to then teach the public to use ships."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMiF56CgDF
"I see, well it was worth a try." He chuckled. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9DvPaInr8
Hierd smiled. He then switched his gaze to Adelheid. "Have you anymore to report?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbzKo7IqIw
"No, lord." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVjQLBow43
"Well then!" He stood up. "I think that's the end of the meeting everyone." He smiled.

558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmdsnRLpN1
After the meeting, Hierd had called the engineers and architects, outside the city to a place where it was dry and flat. As the snowfall was gone for now, it wouldn't interfere with anything. They had went via truck, and in it, was some sacks of cement. Hierd had picked up one of the sacks and set them onto the ground.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF1gox3PRv
"Alright!" Hierd yelled after a grunt. "This is cement!" He then ripped the sack open and poured the contents onto the dirt ground. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJZi8tybEo
"We first have to make a crater." There were a set of shovels on the truck. Hierd picked one up, seeing this, the engineers and architects picked their's too. They began making their crater. Hierd had opened a couple more sacks so that the mound with a crater could be supported. After it was moulded with the shovels Hierd then said; "Then! We put some gravel, it can be sand or crushed rocks too!" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF9ZlldSWK
He went to the back of the truck to gather a sack that was labeled; gravel. He walked over and poured gravel into the crater. "Then pour water." He looked to one of the engineers who were built. "Can you get the water from inside the truck? It's in the big barrel."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgEux6t5V8
"Yes, lord." He went to the back. And after a bit of minutes, he came rushing out towards Hierd. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIweiRtKXP
"Thank you." Hierd then picked it up and poured it's contents onto the cement-gravel pile. "Then, we mix it up. Please help me here."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle0mcQs3Ic
"Yes, lord." 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg2hUQyYRF
They used their shovels and began to ravel the mix of aggregate, water, and cement all together. After some long minutes of mixing, Hierd pointed out that when the when all the cement powder has disappeared the mixing should be stopped. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlycVj3JGqG
"There it is, everyone!" He yelled joyingly. "Concrete."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZUaUvOv0k
"It is to turn solid after some hours?"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2VHkZlMIh
"Yes." He smiled. "In this time, the concrete should be molded to a desired shape. If it were to be molded into a brick, which it can certainly could, a mold cast should be used instead. One could make it out of wood or of other materials. It can also be free handed. And after, once the bricks are made, you can use the same cement material to glue the bricks together."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aVSqySWJR
"Hmm, that is rather genious!" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsqV7RUnlq
"Indeed, you may take your time studying the properties of cement. I shall be off, some soldiers will come here to protect you and drive you to safety if ever the snow to reappear."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFmOnqhbl6
"Thank you ,lord!" They had all said in excitement. Their eyes were already sparkling at the amount of experiments they wished to do. Hierd had given them notebooks and pencils to write about their discoveries.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNUmzEzf8y
Looking from afar, Hierd commented; "Appreciate it! I needed to read some manual to even teach about making concrete, God! That was nerve-wracking. I hope they don't ask for anything else."

558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpqbBTccNq
In the training, as the snow cleared and the sky showed itself, Naturvege whoms't was teaching Gerald, that captain, the basics had noted that the training field was a bit too crowded. "Lets move the older soldiers to the mound above the village, and here can be the recruits. It'd be too crowded for any training to happen. You can take over for them, sir Friedrick."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok9iNtfuGM
"Thank you, sir." He then walked away, towards the troops.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSqrf5nsCh
They had just ended their sabre and luger training. A joint-training with the experienced and the newbies. The soldiers taught the recruits to fire. But they were none-the-wiser with the sabres, for they had yet to use a sabre before. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM6ydN2qby
"Soldiers!" His shouted reached the training field's end-to-end. "We are to move to the mound atop the village! The recruits are to stay here!"558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIZKpx0hic
"Yes, sir!" 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvd87tzjSx
The mass of ninety soldiers all moved under the lead of Friedrick, marching towards that mound. It was quite the steady upwards angle, and the cliff at the end was terrifying to say the least. And at that cliff, the entire training field was observable. And the sight was quite spectacular, as they had all been training to use the sabre, the little glints of iron reflecting and hitting their eyes made it looked like a wave of sorts. 558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XMi1pBUMa
Looking on, Friedrick admired it all. "A navy, an army." He chuckled. "Lord Hierd. May you succeed, for your glory; I know, will far-surpass any human who will have ever existed."
