The Martial Unity

"How much does the Grintle-edged hammer cost for renting?" Rui asked the storekeeper.

"A gold coin for every twenty-four hours sir." She replied. "This doesn't include charges for damaging, destroying, or losing the tool either. Any amount of wear and tear will be charged based on the charges for restoration."

Rui nodded while sighing inwardly. A gold coin a day was enough for one person to lead a good life. Paying that much for a hammer seemed obscene. However, he did understand the rationale. The hammer was not ordinary, not at all. It was made from esoteric alloys that were not easy to procure and were quite valuable. Materials that could withstand Squire-level power were far from abundant and were highly in demand.

He also needed to meet the client before beginning the mission as requested by the client in the mission bill.

('He probably wants to coordinate a siege on the fort right after the mission is completed and the siege weapon is gone.') Rui figured.

In order to destroy the weapon, he would need to cause enough damage to their military or to the fort itself to prove that he was worth employing the weapon on. Meaning once he destroyed the weapon the damaged fort would be at its weakest it had ever been likely since the Britannian Empire had taken over and turned it into a colony.
