Damn she's soft. Kill her and enemy's technology will stagnate again

Is that Rozuru guy part spider or what? How in the world did he just casually scale that wall without any tools? I get that the masonry might not be as uniform as today's standards, but it's not like there would be footholds in it, this is a military installation after all.

She's obviously an otherworlder so yeah, no match for an empowered resident of this world. Leaving her was indeed a bad idea, should have at least tried to take her with them. Shouldn't be much of a problem with both having inhuman strength.

Thank you for the mass update

Do they really know that it was all her doing it?
Besides, it's still just a little unarmed girl in front of them.

Depends on what you mean by "all of it". She herself admited to designing and building the catapult, a weapon that didn't exist in this world (though the MC already presented the idea). She calls herself an "engineer" when no one so far in the story used such a term (and indeed there would have been craftsmen instead). She also claims to be from a forest on the country's border, which sounds familiar.

Is she also responsible for iron technology? Can't say but it's logical to assume that, after all the concept is more involved than just the ore itself. I suppose there could be a twist in which she's just another McGyver girl like Valetta (though the latter at least has the excuse of having access to otherworldy knowledge from Kazura's books), but that would mean the enemy country has someone else that actually is an otherworlder - even their general noticed that it's just weird for the names for both countries' innovations to be the same. He probably assumend Arcadia stole it from them, since he obviously does not know about otherworlders, otherwise it would have clicked to him immediately.

As for her being "just a little girl", I get that, but consider one thing - she had no problem providing the military a weapon that crushed the fort's walls and resulted in much bloodshed on both sides of the battle (for all the survivors they let go, there were still said to be a lot of casualties). She was quite proud of herself, in fact. This is in stark contrast to Kazura, who was reluctant to share any offensive technology until this very incident. The only reason he did was to save someone he cared about.

I would have thought Zirconia would kill the engineer even if she was a young girl. Those recent backstory chapters made me think she would take any opportunity to reduce the military threat of the country that murdered and raped her family and village. Oh well. Maybe she feels differently or has some personal limits after raising a stepdaughter.

Did Valeta throw the noise alarm over the wall? Won't the enemy pick it up and inspect it? Not that I think they can learn much from a tiny circuit board, watch battery, and plastic housing.

just like other said she admit to be the engineer of the weapons. I might be wrong but the man in charge also comment on how a genius advance both of their countries' technology which can only meant the girl is the one.

You missed a critical character development for her then. The point at which she asked the MC for power, while saying she'd use it to kill the entirety of Valvert's population.

There's nothing to learn unless you're a civilization that hasn't yet figured out how to miniaturize and standardize it's electronic components. The device is kind of proof that Arcadia has someone or some thing beyond that world's comprehension helping them, which normally might be enough to turn the rest of the world against them. The problem is, that device has probably already ran out of energy, so it's an inert bauble now that looks like some elaborate art piece.

Yeah, I don't understand why they didn't took her. She could be very valuable asset even as hostage.

They'd need to escape while carrying her. It's difficult enough as it is.

While I agree, fck it. She already hesitated killing her thinking about her past actions. Could've also used her to fall on, but her hesitation to kill her makes it clear she wouldn't be used as a landing pad.
