- The 13th day of the Pure Bud Moon.The time was just around 1: 00 p.m.
The weather is as snow as usual.Nevertheless, it is not a major descent, and there is no obstacle to the subject's monitoring.
(It would be helpful if you didn't go down... no.)
While lurking in the shade of darkness.
Fatigued soldiers cried for cloudy weather as soon as they got off.If it snows a lot, snowy waterways are used.If the snowflake channel is used, Lenore and the others will not be able to escape.In the meantime, at least, you don't have to keep your guard down.
(... and so on, you shouldn't neglect...)
Five days before Lenore and the others were found.
Keep an eye out for the skilled girls in the harsh snow and cold.A mission within a safe wall, considering facing a grudge monster or outlaw outside.Nevertheless, I wonder if there has ever been such a difficult job.
Soldiers who were wondering if it might be time for a quick shift rushed back into gripping the binoculars.
Lenore and Mertina left the inn.It's the disguise I'm wearing.
(Again, in daylight...!)
We don't know when it's going to come down in earnest, so it shouldn't be an escape.
Nevertheless, that's work.Fly communication skills and alert colleagues who are hiding in the same way at other locations.
One of my associates blurred over the communications.
"Shopping... maybe I want to change my hideout."
"Well... they've been here for at least five days. It's about time."
So you're looking for a place closer to the northwest exit.
"I wonder where it is.What is a convenient accommodation for them? "
I didn't tell anyone clearly, but General Bendism picked up the murmur.
No, there are no hotels northwest of here.
Eh?
"There's no doubt I was looking at the machine at that inn.If we abandon it, there's no other way to make a deal. "
So it's just a purchase?
They walk slowly and disappear to the corner of the building.
"... I'm going that way, Halken. Please."
Copy that.
Keep your friends informed and breathe heavily.
--The abnormality was about ten minutes old.
"... passing through the shopping district... No, this is crazy."
I hear Halken's gruesome voice.
What's wrong?
"... I can't get off the road..."
"What?"
Both target names are heading northwest...They're passing the route they think they're going to get out of there. "
What does that mean?
"Okay, if you want to go 500 more miles from there, please let me know again."
General Bendism's calm instructions flew.
Copy that.
Halken across the line of communication answers.
"They're headed for the escape...?No, but that's not true... in this daylight. "
He looked up at heaven without thinking. The snow is as sparkling as ever.I don't know when it will come down.According to the weather forecaster's announcement, it is definitely expected to "descend" first.In other words, the snowflake channel starts almost reliably.
"... for example..."
The thought-provoking voice of General Bendism.
"From here on out... yeah, just an hour or so.What if it didn't snow?
Maybe it was a question of self.
"... you can escape during the day if you don't use the snowy waterway."
"Hmm...."
That is true.But I don't know when the waterway starts... that is, when it starts snowing.
And this is not a simple choice between falling or not.Either way, it's going down.The weather in Badalnois... near the Imperial Capital is like that.I know that any person who lives in this country is a child.
I would never make such a choice, at least if I were in the same position.
Though I wanted to find out the answer quickly, I whispered to the ripple of communication in a slightly impatient manner.
"... hey, Halken, how are the two of you?"
There is no response from the other side.
Not too loud, neither the original nor the child was noticed by the subject.Turn up your voice a little bit.
"Hey, Halken, what's going on with you two?"
But I still haven't heard back.
It was General Bendism who moved quickly.
"... squad two, squad three, respond. …………
The answer won't come back.From Halken, from the two squads that should be waiting nearby, and from the three squads.
"... ma, no way...!"
Sophisticated General Bendism moved faster than he could raise the concern.
─ Everyone, prepare! I will determine that the target has attempted to escape!Deploy as planned!
"... I understand. Thank you very much."
Omzolf, who cut off communications from General Bendism, slowly stood up after closing the book he was reading.
Mertina and Lenore are on the move.Silenced the guard.
After receiving the report, Omzolf himself was surprisingly calm. Take a deep breath.
--The time has come.
He weaves his jacket, leaves his room, and develops communication while walking in the hallway.The opponent responded quickly as if they had been waiting.
"Reever, this is Migas Sintia."
"Reever, it's Oomzolf. I just got word that they're moving.According to General Bendism's report, there is no doubt that he is aiming to escape the imperial capital first.As I told you the other day... this time, I will ask for your help as well.Do you mind? "
Yeah, I don't mind. Kuku
"... Thank you very much."
While cutting off communication, Omzolf stroked his chest down with his heart.
It was a Migasintia who refused to take part in the crusade against vendetta in the Courtyard region, but I was comfortable with this request to join Lenore and Mertina in the operation.Now I can't refuse it as if it were a whim.
(I still can't guess what he's thinking....)
Still, it would be great to have the help of Migasinthitia, one of Badalnois's best talented men, and soldiers loyal to them, as we want to put as much power into this operation as we can.
Speeding up, Omzolf flies communication to the next contact.Leave it for a while.
"... Reever, this is Gotofree Clinic."
Reever, this is Omzolf.
I heard a faint breathing noise from the other side.It's about her sharp. Your voice must have made you feel better.
"I just got word, Mr. Bergrette, that they're moving.Is it possible to handle it? "
...... of course!
"This Moment" that I might visit in the last few days.She would have spent a restless time, but she also returned a strong affirmation through the heart.
"I will also lead the soldiers to the scene.As agreed beforehand... depending on the situation, you will need to assist the soldiers.... and then... locally. "
"... I understand."
Keep the conversation to a minimum and get off to the lobby.
Thirty soldiers, who had already received reports from General Bendism, greeted Omzolf with salute.
He is the chief saint of a kingdom, and his guardians.All of them were ex-soldiers who had been transferred from the Order.Omzolf himself knows that it is called the "Omzolfist" classification.
"We are ready to worship the priest.You can leave at any time. "
"Thank you. Let's get going."
Leave the palace at the end of the unit.The first time I greeted the Virgin was through the cold. And the blunt sky.
The outside world, not through the window, was under a dark gray cloud.
(... are you scratching your feet?Don't hurt me.You always were.... but...)
Throw her an unanswered question somewhere in this city.
And then...
"... you believed me." It's not coming down. "
Omzolf murmured in a voice that no one could hear.
"Then I believe you, too."
Smaller, but stronger than ever.
"Mel, I can definitely stop you here."
To make this operation a success.To put an end to this situation.
Omzolf quietly spinned communication.
"Wow! That's so generous."
Under cloudy weather, in the corner of the pavement, Mertina stood up with a voice.
Shooting at the soldiers who were watching us around and silencing them, five more soldiers immediately burst in.
They don't act like they're coming straight in, but they fly their assault tactics by hiding behind blocks like buildings.
Yoo-hoo
Ice bullet pulling a white tail.Mertina and Lenore embraced them and stood up to fight back.
That's the Badalnois soldier, 'I know'.I will not imitate the opponent of "Immaculate Nornzite" as coming straight from the front.
Still, it's not enough.
Mertina, pointing her index fingers directly beneath her feet, fired an ice bullet.The three fired shots landed on the ground and each flew to the nearest street lamp with a recoil.One after the other, it hits the iron pillars and jumps from there to the roofs, walls, and street trees of the building.further reflecting on the reflection,
Haha!
Gwah
At the end, the soldiers used shields and shields to shoot them through the back.In the meantime, it's only three seconds.
Come on, let's go, Len.
"... yeah"
About three and a half kilometers from here to the outlet in the northwest.
Whether or not the soldiers who noticed the abnormality were able to shake off the chase and escape.
… No.
We must escape.
If they lose, no one will be able to expose the darkness.
In the middle of the day, the snow is also flickering, so there is a good amount of traffic between people.
"Over there, don't lose sight!"
"Whoa, what is it?"
Kyah
Citizens rushing off the road see soldiers running through them.
I'm so sorry.
Lenore and Mertina slipped through the crowd a little further.
During that time,
Shudder
Mertina turned her index finger backwards and fired an ice bullet.
Oops!
Like a flash flying in a straight line, it passes next to the people in between.And finally, a direct blow to the incoming soldier's head.He stumbled and fell.
"Wow!? Hmm, what is it!?"
"Oops! Suddenly someone fell down!"
While the people stood still, Lenore and the others made a distance.
The soldiers who followed were stunned to see something incredible.
"I shot you in a crowd like this!What are you going to do if you hit the people...!? "
No, it's okay.
"That's right, imitating Ariel... Meltina Snow, I really went down the wrong path."
"No, it's not. Meltina won't take it off... we'll definitely be the only ones in this business!That's all I've got!Everybody scatter! This crowd is no shackle to him! "
The soldier, raising his voice, blew up as if to prove his words.
"Damn, no! You can do it unilaterally, don't chase me here!Shoot from around! "
Three kilometers to the northwest exit.
Wow, I knew it.
Surprised by the wind, Mertina responded without haste.
Something happened when the people on the side of the road suddenly jumped in.I mean, they were soldiers in plain clothes pretending to be people.They were watching the streets so that Lenore and the others wouldn't jump into the waterway.
Mertina clasped one of her grabbed hands with a leopard.
What did you think?
I smiled.
"If you get close enough, you can catch me. Did you think so?"
Tan, gently. Mertina stepped on the sidewalk as she danced, and an ice storm erupted from under her feet.
"Ghhhhhh!?"
Soldiers who had a decent bath nearby could blow up and stand in the vicinity.
And the moment my vision got worse,
"I'm coming right now, Len!"
Meltina shouted loudly.
"No, don't let him escape!"
Let me!
Two soldiers lurking nearby rushed out.I completely forgot my defenses, and I'm going to chase the runner.
"... ah!?"
It was seared.
Launch the ice spell that Lenore had finished chanting against the defenseless they realized.
"Shit... haha!"
Guwa!
Soldiers who had been exposed to a block of ice flying in a straight line collapsed on the spot without difficulty.
"Fufu, I got hooked. I got hooked.That's a good connection. All right, let's do this, Len. "
"... yeah"
Lenore returns a small favor to the smile of a haunted granddaughter.
And soon after rest, he ran through.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."
As he tried to cross a street, Mertina stopped Lenore with an unusual and pressing voice.
"Over there"
At the tip of the white "penta", there was an entrance to the sewer under a street tree off the pavement.And there are about three soldiers there.
"... I see, that's a familiar face.They're the Whites. "
A faction that swears allegiance to the Snowstorm White Knights Gracela Duela.Among the Badalnois soldiers, they are especially known for their warriors.That's right, I don't know about Lenore at first glance, but it seems that Mertina can tell.
"An exceptional place to get into the waterway, even if you don't open the lid... they keep an eye on the mighty.I didn't think we'd run into each other like this. "
Of course, Mertina can neutralize the Whites without any problems.But they also heard the sound of the Rigidbody, and they will not be hit by it alone.They'll eat more than we expected, or they'll call for reinforcements.There is also the possibility that an ambush is lurking where it is not known at first sight.
In other words, if you put your hand in it, you have a high profit margin.
"On the contrary, most of the Whites are supposed to be guarding the sewers."
"... yeah"
If they're not good enough to move around, both of them wish and come true.The means of entering the runway from the sewer will be crushed, but it is easy to confront because only that much will be pursued by the general soldiers.
Come on, let's go.
As the sky clouds became darker, the two of them cut through the distance of 100 miles without interruption.
"... Mel..."
"Yeah, I know."
He leaned over to the side of the street tree and gazed forward.
There is no strange empty land there.If you proceed straight ahead, the point of passage is the shortest distance to the desired de-export.
The snow is scarce. The neighbors probably don't miss the snowstorm because few people use it to shorten their streets.
…………
Lenore asks about the surroundings while pushing and killing up the tension.
... no.
There is no 'him' in that place like the arena set for 'him'.
In the daytime, the Corps should not have anticipated Lenore's escape.If Bergrette and the others had been waiting at the Royal Palace in the first place, the staffing might not have been in time.Around 20 minutes from the start of the escape.Flying a carriage is remarkable.
(... the carriage won't get stuck today because it hasn't been snowed out yet.Maybe in time... neither)
Either way, we don't have a choice.
If you bypass from left to right, you will be far away.In the meantime, the regiment may be ready.
"It's okay, Len. I'll break through whoever comes. Let's go."
"...... yeah"
I don't even have time to get lost. Lenore keeps the surgery free at all times.
"... let's go, Mel"
The two nodded and ran towards the empty land.
There is no chaser in front or back.General soldiers can't stop them in the first place.All they can do is buy time at best.
- Well then.
The absence of soldiers around meant that there was no longer any need to buy time.
I realized that the moment I stepped into the empty space.
Because it was so cold compared to the surroundings. It was so frightening.
"Len!"
Unprecedented, extremely pressing Meltina's voice.
……
Lenore peeled her eyes.
Appeared.
Walls circled around open spaces.From the exit side, from the end where we're going.
In this place, the "other party" was waiting.
But...
Shh!
Without hesitation, Mertina fires a blow from her fingertips.I can't afford to laugh in her face so far."This Person" is such an opponent.
The appearing "he" proves his power, but he plays it most easily with the release of the heroic "penta".
(... why...?!)
Why is this person here?
No, it's not.
It wasn't the person I had originally anticipated.
--It wasn't that current-protected thing.
Computation went crazy. To Lenore, whose response is delayed due to upset,
"We don't have time to stop.I'll take care of this. Kill him and follow him immediately.Len, you go first. "
Mertina told him immediately.
"... okay."
Lenore nodded without hesitation.
From the beginning, I didn't think we could get out side by side.No matter how many of Badalnois's most powerful 'pieces' of Mertina are there, the Royal Palace side is not that sweet.
Confrontation with this opponent. In strength, if you are here, your feet will be tight.If that's the case, I'll leave it to Mertina, and we'll have to go first.
It is also assumed that the situation will be divided, and the rendezvous place outside is also decided.
"--fu!"
Meltina ran towards the enemy, spraying ice bullets from her fingertips.The trajectory that bounced in all directions was a random attack that protected Lenore at the same time as the attack.
While the white flashes staggered, Lenore ran straight through the gap to the exit.
