Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

Sixty days after the demon king's proclamation.

The work on the lake and canal was completed.

For the record, a lot of work progresses about every ten days because we adjust the itinerary to do so.

Yoichi examines the approximate workload at [Appraisal Ω], and manages Rosanna and Arana and other headquarters personnel separately in 5 or 10 days to make it easier to check progress.

The canal looks good too.

"Yes, you all did your best."

With Yoichi and Minori on board, Suzak is flying over the canal towards the big river.

The canal is about 200 meters wide and the water depth averages 15 meters and is about 10 kilometers long.

I flew slowly to see the state of the canal, but it took me a few minutes to see the big river.

It's huge.

"That's right. Was it the Blue Dragon?

"Yes."

The Great River, which serves as a source of water for man-made lakes, had no name because it did not flow into the human sphere in the first place.

That's why I had to name it, but before that, I had to name the artificial lake.

Artificial lake?

According to a voice from Sheehan, the lake within the enchantment of the Allied Human Forces was named Lake Xuanwu.

Before the battle of the Red Wall, the famous scene of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao (yes) created Xuanwu Pond for naval training.

Well, after that, you manipulated Cao to lose, right?Isn't it bad luck?

Over there is the pond, over here is the lake.It's okay. "

"Oh, wow, I see... then, that's fine."

For the record, it seems that a depth of 5 meters is the boundary between the pond and the lake.

After that, when Mt. Zhu Chi, Lake Xuanwu, the Great River became the Blue Dragon River, and finally the Canal became the Small Dragon Canal.

The two riders on Suzak's back saw a large river flowing gently.

The river is more than ten kilometers wide, and the farther it stands on the shore, the wider it is than you can see.

The gently flowing water level burst unexpectedly.

"What is it, a monster!?

In the next moment, a giant snake-shaped monster came out of the water, causing a sickle head.

"Surpent, is it?

"Oh, it's big anyway."

Appraisal revealed that it was a Greater River Serpent Emperor.

It is as large as you can imagine from its name.It was a catastrophic monster with a body length of more than 200 meters, and even a head that came out of the water was as large as a white whale.

On the banks of the river, many people were working for the installation of water gates and the construction of canals, and they were disturbed by the sudden appearance of giant monsters.

This is also the depths of the demon, and I've encountered a lot of monsters, but it seems I've never seen so many monsters before.

"I have to do something about it...."

It is a nasty monster.

If Yoichi had defeated, he would have used anti-tank missiles that had defeated earth dragons in the past, but he needed to shoot more than 10 shots in the head.

But this giant surpent will dive into the water before it can be defeated.

It would then be difficult to defeat with a missile and would require a torpedo, but it is not a weapon that can be handled by one person.

What about the other members?

First of all, Samantha and Rosanna are out of the question.

Since Charlotte came here, he seems to be establishing his own fighting style while asking Minori and Ortance to teach him, but it's not a way to fight big guys, and above all, he has little experience fighting monsters.

Sheehan, who deals with the long knife, may be able to defeat it, but if he dives into the water at an early stage, he will lose his hand, so he won't always win.

It turns out that this Greater River Serpent Emperor is a rather troublesome monster.

Nevertheless, if there were any remaining members, they could be defeated alone.

Alana will be able to drop his neck with a flash of an axe spear, and Amy will be able to rule without having to fight in the first place.

And Minori.

"Shall I defeat him?

With her magic of cutting hundreds of magical trees close to steel, she'll be able to drop her neck with a single blow.

If you feel like it, you can burn it black with lightning strikes or freeze it in the river water.

"No, I don't think so."

From the riverbank, a man jumped toward the giant surpent.

Compared to the monster's giant body, it is as big as bean grains such as humans.

"What is that?

"Master."

Despite being a magical hideaway, Celeste, who always wore leather pants on his shirt, jumped lightly a distance of about 50 meters from the shore and landed on the tip of the surpent.

And when I stepped in a big step, I threw the bottom of my palm between the monster's eyebrows.

--Dong!!

Heavy sound like something explodes.The shock transmitted the body of the surpent and waved the water surface.

The Celestians once again jumped and landed lightly on the original riverbank.

The Greater River Serpent Emperor looked intact, but his body was shaking.

"Yoichi! Collect it now!!

The Celestians who had already anticipated Yoichi's visit shouted.

"Yes, yes, it's still rough for a manservant...."

Yoichi smiled bitterly, but stored the carcass before the monster's giant body fell.

The sudden disappearance of the monster's giant body created space in the water, creating many waves and vortexes.

It's a rough shot at the bottom of the palm.

As he stepped down from Suzak, Yoichi called out to the Celestians.

"You'll be able to train in about a hundred years."

"Isn't it practically impossible?"

The Greater Reverse Serpent Emperor's brain was destroyed by a single blow until it was almost soup-like.

It was impossible to push just by force, and Yoichi could not imagine how much technology was needed.

"You're riding something more convenient.If you can fly one of those, can I get one or two of the Demon King's necks?

Fighting one-on-one makes it possible for the Celestians to win the Demon King by themselves.

"Unfortunately, the closer we get to the Demon King Castle, the more monsters are twisting."

The Demon King can produce 1 million monsters in a day.At the moment, tens of millions of monsters were already waiting near the castle.

Even the monsters of the flight system have already exceeded 10 million kindly. Even with the flight ability of Suzak, it is impossible to reach the Demon King Castle through that time.

Even if you are lucky enough to arrive at the Demon King Castle, Pablo has many traps to intercept the intruders, and the journey from there is still a long one.

Even if we could confront each other, it was very difficult to create a one-on-one situation with the Demon King that could produce monsters at a rate of 10 or more per second.

"Well, then, the mob should be moving in 100 days."

That's right.

A hundred days later, the Demon King army begins an invasion of the human sphere.

That means that the forces near the Demon King Castle will be dispersed and weakened.

"Oh, Celeste, thank God."

Short but in good shape, a man with a bearded face appears to both of them.

"It's work. I can't thank you enough."

The Celestians were in charge of defense here and around the canal.

Though not as steep as the magic, it has extensive experience in the forest, and mainly Mailgrad adventurers are guarding the area.

Looking around lightly, some people noticed Yang Yi and waved their hands.

So, is that your young lady's secret child?

Ah.

The bearded man looks at Yoichi and smiles nicely.

"You're always taking care of me."I'm Verg, who runs the Civil Engineering Guild."

"No, that's why I'm late.I'm Yoichi the Adventurer. "

Yoichi has a lot of interaction with civil engineering guilds and equipment, and I think I've seen Verg before, but they're kind of busy.

The mistakes overlapped many times, and it was the first time I saw each other.

"Why is Mr Werg here?

"The construction of the water gate was handled by the boss.No, you've helped me a lot with this one. "

It is a water gate installed between the Blue Dragon River and the Xiaolong Canal, but most of the other foundations are made in various parts of the continent.

By transporting it, Yang Yi was able to shorten the production period considerably.

However, even if they were to be carried, they would not face each other because they would take (...) out (...) to the ground while they were above.

"Anyway, there was a big one at the end."

"You should have been glad before you opened the gate."

"It is true. I'm not scared to think I'd get into the canal."

Verg nodded to Celestine's words several times and looked at Yoichi as if he had come up with something.

"By the way, Yoichi recovered the body, right?

Yeah, well...

Yoichi's abilities are shared to some extent with the upper levels of Operations.

"That's it, let's make one bone a very good building material.Make sure you join the Civil Engineering Guild. "

"Rest assured. The Adventurer Alliance will wholesale it for the right price."

To the broken Celeste, Werg turned to the traffic.

"Mum, as usual, you stubborn bastard...!

"I took it down, I took it back, I don't care what you think, it's ours."

"Why don't you tell me the right thing?"

Werg, shrugging his shoulders, turned his back to the Celestians and walked toward the gate.

"Hello, you bastards!It's time to open the gate!

Werg's call was followed by a loud cheer from the crew.

The water gate slowly rises.

The water of the river, which wetted the canal like a twitch, gradually increased in volume.

The more the gates opened, the stronger the flow, which quickly reached a momentum that could be called a torrent.
