Reincarnated as the fourth son of a noble and tamed an SS-rank dragon-Chapter 28: War

Kaly gave the necklace to Darius, while he made the potions with Nyme, she went to the village to get information about the dimensions of the wood, she was having more work than she would have liked, but it was part of it.

Darius managed to use magic on 20 cauldrons, then he ran out of mana and waited for his mana to recover.

"Has your mana run out?"

"Yes, apparently potions use up more mana than magic itself."

"How much mana do you have?"

"Let me see," he walked over to the board and placed his hand on it. "My total is 26,862 points, I’m at 1,372 points. So I spend more than 1,300 points per cauldron. That’s a lot of mana."

"This necklace recovers mana quickly, so you’ll soon be able to finish all the cauldrons."

He waited a while longer and managed to get mana for the other cauldrons, he finished just before Kaly came back, she took a barrel out of the bag of items.

"This is a barrel I got from a dwarf, it’s bigger on the inside and works like an item bag, but in a different way. It has a capacity of 1,000 liters. We’ll fill it up and have potions for a few days."

"Are we going to make them all today?"

"Yes, recover all your mana and I’ll get on with the job."

With the 35 cauldrons, they can produce 8,400 potions in one go and the barrel can hold a little more than four times that amount, so by filling up they would only have two days’ supply. Still, this makes it easier to meet some demands while they still don’t have their own factory.

Kaly continued making potions. She managed to make one cauldron after another and when one cooled down, Nyme would refill the potion bottles and Kaly would go back to making more potions. Darius used his mana to create more weak potions, with the necklace he could do it without pausing.

After a while they finished all 20,000 potions and managed to fill the barrel. They went out into the garden and Kaly asked Darius to repeat the training, he had been idle for a few days, but he needed to strengthen his body, Nyme also went for a run and then did some push-ups. She was a bit slow, but at the same time she got less tired.

They stayed like this until the end of the day when Kaly paid everyone.

After Darius’ long bath, they went to dinner, where they chatted for a while and then Kaly handed Lucian 300 gold coins, payment for the use of the mansion and the village as part of the potions operation.

"300 gold coins?" Amanda couldn’t believe it, she was rather jealous of Kaly for that. She has been in this house for a long time and has never contributed anything, but Kaly has achieved a lot in just a few days.

As the days went by, Kaly continued to make potions with Darius and Nyme, who was now able to fill a cauldron and use it to make potions. Everyone’s training remained the same, with a lot of progress. Shiva finished making all the swords and Kaly got more magical artifacts for Lucian’s small army.

She had always thought his army was small, in fact it was, Lucian just couldn’t keep it up. The King was harming potential opponents and so he could barely keep his mansion running, but he still managed to keep up appearances.

The day of war had arrived. The King would attack the neighboring kingdom, Sarcosia, they would attack and meanwhile, the nobles on Duke Kael’s side would attack the castle and take the crown by force as a form of punishment for something as senseless as a war. The plan was almost perfect, except that the nobles on the King’s side had almost twice the military strength and they wouldn’t give up and possibly wouldn’t accept Kael as the new King.

But the King was afraid of Kaly, he saw her strength, but at the same time, he knew she was a noble from Drakonia, he could use that as a reason not to sign the pact between the countries and the continent would be politically weak. Because all help would be needed against the Demon King.

Kaly was wearing the armor, it fit her body and this made her breasts harden Darius couldn’t stop staring as her body gradually underwent some changes.

In order not to be recognized, she used a disguise, change magic, she changed her hair color to blonde and her face became a little thinner, her nose thinner and her eyes became lilac. She braided her hair.

She looked different, but Darius still saw her as the same woman, especially as her breasts were still the same size. When she walked they didn’t sway, that was sad, the movements of her breasts as she walked fast were like poetry.

At the city gate some troops were gathered with some generals, a group of nobles were wearing armor and started a march, and they were leaving. The King told the whole capital that they were defending themselves against a possible threat. Equipment similar to loudspeakers was installed around the city, emitting the sound that the King spoke inside a room in the Castle. He could also use it like a television and broadcast the message by video, but most commonly it was just his voice echoing through the city.

The nobles of the Side of Kael were in the Capital, they were in hiding and the King knew it, so the court mages were vigilant, as were the four jacks. Even after the shame, they were still at the King’s side.

"It’ll be easy, but I’ll control my power, I won’t use more than 10%," Kaly said as he waited for the march.

Lucian was wearing armor adorned with gold and small blue crystals, he was waiting for a few minutes and then started the march, the soldiers were wearing the sword of mythril and the magical artifacts, some were without. As there were few of them, only the soldiers on the front line were wearing the artifacts.

They walked slowly to a part of the Capital, there they met up with other troops, they were 5,000 soldiers, few compared to the troops in the Castle, but the plan was to tire out the enemy, let them attack while they defended themselves with a few mages, then they would attack with everything. It was simple and they didn’t stop to think of other ways to carry out the attack, it was a very simple plan. But it was what they had at the moment.

Lucian went ahead and waited for the moment when all the initial troops would have left the Capital.

He was watching the Castle, after a while he gave the signal and they began the attack, some archers started attacking arrows that two mages, whom Baronet Bali had sent, were setting on fire. The arrows with fire were countered by a defense spell.

Kaly stood at the front and used a weaker spell, she was using the staff of mythril, Luciam was looking at the staff, it seemed heavy and her movements could be slowed down by it. But she moved as if the staff were made of feathers, her strength was great enough that the weight didn’t interfere.

She lifted the staff with her right hand and accumulated mana at the tip, she was careful not to use any magic that was too strong, so she used fireball spells, she made the smallest fireballs she could. When she hit the magic shield, it shattered and a huge explosion occurred, the mage who was using the protection spell flew off and crashed somewhere. Kaly didn’t see because of the great wall that separated the Castle from the rest of the Capital.

"You used a very strong spell," Duke Kael said as he approached the Castle.

"I used the weakest magic I could find, this staff of mine is really amplifying my spells. Look," she said casting the same spell without the staff, it failed to hit anything as it was erased in the air.

"Where did you get this staff?"

"I placed an order with..." Before she could finish speaking she was hit in the arm, by an air spell that cut off her left arm. The one who cast the spell was the mage Aelyn, she seemed to recognize Kaly somehow, as her face had an expression of the purest pleasure. That or she had just had sex, was what Kaly was thinking at the moment. She felt pain and confusion.

Kaly ducked quickly and almost fell, she held the staff tightly in her right hand and at the same time she used area healing magic, some people were hurt, while she healed the soldiers she also healed her arm, which began to grow.

Kaly began to accumulate more magic while erecting a magic shield, no enemy spell could get through it. She then attacked, causing Aelyn’s entire body to be reduced to ashes.
