Episode 95: Dorad Defense Battle 3

The vicinity of the nest is solidified by Dorad's soldiers. The Dorad side will decide the policy for now, so our role is over for now.

"What do we do?

Michelle looks at me and asks.

"I don't care what they say. It was a sudden event, and I think you can decide that the defense battle itself is over. It was over when I wiped it out before, and after that, why don't we just let it go?

"Right."

Michelle's gaze moves toward the nest hole. I'm curious, but what do I do?

"Sure, there's a queen-like presence in the nest hole," it said on the bulletin board, but is there one this time?

That's what Kara's been asking me. Swain has written information about the post-Einfast defense hive sweep on the bulletin board. Naturally there are players who know that.

"Maybe. I'm pretty sure we'll sweep the nest completely after this, but the question is, who's gonna do it?"

The information is public. Including the fact that the nest hole was full of grudges and that it had no fruit at all. How many players want to get in there? Maybe he's not here.

"What do you do with Fist? I don't even seem to have to ask."

Look at me. Gunhild laughs. Now I'm fully equipped for hunting. However, only the cape is removed.

"You can't even leave me alone. In the meantime, I'll offer my cooperation to Dread. What are we gonna do?

"I'll accompany you. You have to put a drop on your balls."

Gunhild smiled invincibly as he slapped his shoulder with an axe.

"I will participate. I think I'll probably keep the MP."

"I'll join you because I still have the arrows in stock, too. I don't have [dark vision], but with Carla, we'll be able to secure the light source."

Kara and Shana expressed their participation. But Kara, can you still afford MP?

"I have a long main wepon, so it's a little harsh in a small place, but it seems like a sword goes through, so I'll join you."

"I have mace in the sub, too, so go with it. I'm just saying that as a wall job, it's not going to help. [Wall (Lampert)] It would be different if I had the skill."

Michelle and Gordon both used long weapons. I don't know what it would be like to get to the hall downstairs, but it would be tough to pick it up in the aisle along the way. If you're a Demon opponent, you can't help but have heavy armor to be an advantage. By the way, [walls] are two names for Jerido.

"In the meantime, why don't you go over to the nest hole? It's time to decide what to do with Dread."

Tell everyone that, and I'll move off the spot.

The entrance to the nest hole was solidified by Dorad's soldiers and no other player appeared. I guess it would have been different if this had been a normal cave, but is it still a necklace? I guess it's also why there's no fruit in it. It's not like the Demons have special experience.

As we approached, a few soldiers began to move to stop it.

"I'm a Gentile Fist. By sweeping the nest hole, can you ask Master Alphonse Braoze to follow you?

Before anyone could do anything, I named him and told him what to do, and one of the soldiers rushed off. Ha?

"Fist, did you do something to that soldier?

"No, nothing"

Gordon asks if you noticed the soldier's attitude was strange. But I don't know. Naturally, I've never met a soldier before.

After a short wait, the soldier just returned. Bring in a few knights. Did you come all the way over here?

"Sorry to keep you busy"

"No, you've come a lot. Thank you for working with us for Dorad."

When I bowed my head, the little knight in the lead took off his helm. It was Al's face that emerged from under it.

"Hey, Fist. What about you?

I heard Gunhild asking from behind. Oh, no. You're all first person.

"You, Lord Dorad's brother, are Alphonse Braozy."

I could see the tension running. Well, it's a clan of lords. You're usually surprised.

"We're still in the middle of a fight right now. You don't have to be afraid."

When he hastily saw the Gunhilds bow their heads in pieces, Master Al laughed and turned a serious eye on this one.

"Lord Fist. I heard about the nest sweep, but does that mean you can help me?

"Yes, if you could add us to the unit that's sending us in."

"Really? Thank you for your offer. It's just embarrassing, but I can't get the troops out of here."

No, why? Morale on Dread's side is high, albeit with danger. I don't think there's any reason to be cowardly in our fight to protect our city.

"It will be quicker for you to look at it. Come here."

Turn your heels back and Master Al heads towards the entrance to the nest hole. We follow suit.

"I see."

And where I could see the entrance to the nest hole, I understood.

I didn't realize when the Demons were gushing, but they were leaking out of the nest. That's pretty thick too. That's worse than the exasperation I found before.

"It's too intense. There seems to be a limit somewhere in there that we can't go any further."

A few tents were set up a short distance away, and I could see soldier-like people sleeping in them. They must be the ones who got hurt.

"You can increase your resistance with Potion for Air Poisoning."

"Yes, the status quo after doing it"

Master Al looks at the nest hole with regret.

"Dear Alphonse, In the case of Einfast, we have heard that the temper during the nest hole sweep has not been this far. Over time, you'll lose your temper, but it's also about giving the Demons time."

I told him to go away and leave it to this one later.

The city knights are also entering Ainfast's nest, which would have been larger than here. So I'm pretty sure that's going to diminish your temper until it's possible. It's just that over time, that's all the more Demons will be. I just want to avoid overlooking the restoration of my power.

There will be some things I think that leave the key to outsiders. Even the knights and soldiers would have pride in being in charge of the city's defenses, and what we would do could be to smear mud on their faces. But Master Al seems to have prioritized cleaning things up over those things.

"… ensuring prompt safety should be a priority. Lord Fist, Dorad has officially asked me to sweep the demons in the nest hole."

"Okay. Then we'll get right to it."

Keep your head down and watch the Gunhilds. Looks like everyone's ready too. They all nodded, so we headed to the entrance to the den.

"Mr. Fist, are you acquainted with the great man of Dorad?

Carla asked in a low voice. Though in-game, I'm casually talking to the great guy. Is it natural that I care?

"The knights who helped the medium-sized demons in Einfast are the Alphonse. So, well, you said you liked it or you missed it"

Briefly, Kara and the others seem convinced. You'll be watching the defense video, and this explanation will suffice.

Take a peek into the nest hole. It is naturally dark because it is in the ground, but there is [dark vision] so there is no problem. The gradient's pretty steep. The size inside is about as critical as the medium size can get in and out.

Serve and drink a potion for air poisoning. If it's this tight, I don't know how effective it is, but I need to be prepared.

"Now, are you ready?

Looks like the Gunhilds are out of potion, too. I've got each piece of gear in my hand.

And

"My buddies leave a message except for Rhodes."

Quinn and the others, see the phantom beast. Given the narrow passage to reach the lower levels, Vint can't do it tall, and Quinn, Jane, and Falco's mobility dies. Rhodes himself won't get in the way if he's on Carla's shoulder, and nothing inhibits his own abilities, so he'll be fine.

Are you convinced of the area, and Quinn and the others didn't seem to disagree. Please wait for me. Especially Quinn and Jane. You guys, don't fight, okay?

"I'll take the lead as a scout. Next up are Gordon, Gunhild, Shana and Kara. Probably fine, but just in case, my lord is in Michelle. Kara will install a light source with magic. If you think it's the limit along the way, report it immediately. Okay, let's go."

I'll use [Signal Detection] just in case, but there's no demonic reaction. Like Swain said, you're going to figure it out.

Stepping into the nest hole, a terrible discomfort struck me. The air is heavy, or it seems to be wrapping around. There's a space there where you don't even like to breathe. [Qi Resistance] is present, even if the resistance is temporarily increased with the Qi Potion and the vitality is increased over time. It doesn't seem to interfere with my own behavior for now, but everyone seems pretty tight.

but the discomfort of my chi weakened. Soon, a thin light is covering my body. Not only me, but everyone.

"Rhodes, huh?

I looked at you in Carla's voice, and Rhodes on her shoulder was snapped. You don't feel like you've been hit. The membrane of light is wrapped around Rhodes. Does that mean he put up a protective film against Qi? What high performance.

"Thank you, Rhodes. I'll buy you some fruit later."

When I told him that, Rhodes replied with one leg up.

Well, Rhodes made it a lot easier, or everyone's restrictions on their behavior disappeared. Let's just say we move on within the present.

Sudden slopes are difficult to walk through. Some are narrow, but the scaffolding is bad. Almost in a straight line from the basement, there was a cylindrical passage, and the Demons seemed to have climbed with their claws up normally. If you do it badly, you're about to fall. If the rear tail falls, it is also a situation that could roll off and involve everyone. I'll have to activate [Walkthrough] to become a fence if I have to.

Along the way, the succession fell several times, but nothing like an avalanche, without being attacked by demons in the aisle. We arrived at the bottom. When Kara magically activates the light source everywhere, she sees what's going on around her.

It's a huge space there, but it's still not as big as all the Demons can handle. Five meters to the ceiling, about fifty meters square, I wonder.

And there's only one demon in the back of the square. Can I call it a large demon tribe, one that is bigger than a medium one? However, the shape is not that of the beast, if you insist, the frog. It also feels like a crushed wolf's head. And the belly part is attached to something like a large scale. Looks like a turtle belly. Such anomalies seemed to be sitting around.

Is that the individual called the Queen? That looks just like the image Swain showed me. The previous sweep didn't move off the spot, and the magic attack from a long distance made it easy to sink, but the [Silver Sword] & [Freedom Warriors] were not always easy for us. If there's no surroundings, Swain told me I might be fine alone, but I forbid to be alarmed. In the meantime, I guess I'll keep track of some future stuff.

"It feels like that's the big one... a monster."

I heard Gordon whining.

"You don't have any other demons. After all, are you paying for it?"

Look around while Michelle says so.

"So, how does it work?

"If you say so in the precedent, they crushed the queen with a magic attack, so I think that's fine. I'm curious how you'll react when you get close, but let's take safety measures. So, Carla, please. I don't know if the bow goes through, but I need Shana, too. Anyone who can make a long-range attack can join us."

I take the stones I have secured for throwing out of storage. [Magic Strike] It would be a power there if it were included.

Gordon and Michelle don't have anything, but Gunhild sets up an axe. Now we're ready for this one.

"All right, let's get started"

Kara begins chanting. As she unleashes her magic, we plan to launch a physical attack on this one as well.

It was.

"... what?

There was a change in the queen. A scaly object in the belly opened from the center of the body to the left and right. There is no meat under the scale. It also looks like a rippling black surface.

From there, the demons crawled out.
