Golden Experience

Episode 442 "Armored Beast Ride"

Although it is an "underground dive" without complaining about stealth, the only disadvantage is that the condition on the ground is unknown. Just as you can't see us from the other side, you can't see us from the other side. Therefore, I don't know which area is being moved now.

Given that it travels at a slower rate than walking on the sea floor, it is expected that it will take a considerable amount of time to move underground and get out of the tree sea.

I wanted to leave the transfer to someone because it was troublesome, but Bechmos has individual authentication. Except for Lyla, you can't board.

Lyla had no choice but to travel underground for days at the exact speed of a cow's walk.

In the meantime, Rare said she had solved one of the Western continent's problems.

They didn't tell me exactly what happened. Wait, the tea party.

Lyla's expectations seemed to have been met because she quietly said that she might have solved something by blowing it away anyway.

"─ ─ It's about time. Can we get a little closer to the surface?"

Slowly bring Behemoth up to the surface and close to the edge to open the hatch.

Some of the hatch parts and Behimos protrusions have been exposed to the surface, but since they appeared while activating the skill, the ground has not been raised.

The exposed area also appears to have been buried there from the beginning.

I have no idea what the rationale is, but according to the specifications or sealed diary, Bechmos has a very high affinity for the local attributes.

It seemed that "underground diving" was being realized with mysterious technology that applied the magic of local attributes or something.

The technology allows Behemoth to swim in the mud, but to travel underground.

But whoever built Behemoth, I don't think he can come up with this technology from nowhere. Maybe there are monsters who possess this skill naturally.

Lyla, who went out, closed her hatch and looked around.

The meadow.

The refreshing wind softly strokes the flowers and passes by.

"I knew I was going through the tree sea because I wasn't disturbed by the roots when I was floating... Oh, I wonder if that's the Tree Sea. Is it still visible? I knew I didn't earn the distance."

You can travel to Bechmos like this, but we don't know how long it will take to reach human space.

In the first place, the benefits of riding on Bechmos in the human realm are thin. It just stands out for nothing.

I was able to satisfy some of the desire to get on board and be outraged, and Behemoth is still good at destruction. Lyla doesn't want to destroy human habitat. Not yet.

"... let's leave it here. I'm not saying it's faster to walk, but I'm sure it's faster."

I was wondering if I would cover up around the hatch or exposed protrusions, but poor disguise work seems to be counterproductive.

You should leave it here as if it had been buried from the beginning.

Anyway, Lyla is the only one who can open the hatch, and no one can dig up all of Behemoth.

Even Lyla has an unknown defense that she can destroy if she wants to. It shouldn't be a problem to leave it like this.

As far as I can think, it may be easy for Rare to destroy it, but I can't imagine going all the way from the Western continent to the Southern continent and suddenly blowing up Behemoth, who doesn't know where he's buried. There is no reason to do so.

It's not necessarily the same destructive presence here as Rare, but it's unlikely, and it should be discreet where it is.

Otherwise, an army of demons of that magnitude would have already perished.

Whichever faction they were in, if they acted aggressively, there could be no war.

What Rare usually does is unilaterally destroy and kill.

When I activated "Camo" and "Hidden Vault" and ascended to the sky, I immediately saw smoke rising in the south.

It's too much smoke and too many cigarettes.

After some battle, there must have been traces of a burning of the village.

If the Tree Sea is the habitation area of the demons, is it outside the human area?

If there is a battle going on there, is that the result of the demon's invasion of human space?

In any case, it is a good opportunity to learn about the situation in the Southern continent. Lyla decided to go there.

The source of smoke was the building.

Fighting seems to have broken out in a village-like settlement.

The battle itself seemed to have ended, with the demons clearing out several human corpses and their weapons.

I don't care about the body, but this weapon is important.

Will the total length be about three to four meters?

It looks like a beast made of metal with an atmosphere similar to Behemoth's.

It's the same or a little bigger than the alien demons, but the overall shape is similar, or it looks like the demon is cleaning up the mechanical demon. In a metaphorical way, the designer is probably the same.

This is what the Great Devil said earlier, the Armored Beast Rider.

There aren't many Armored Beast Riders destroyed, and I wonder if there are five of them in the whole village.

It is quick to judge with this much sample, but the animal with the motif seems to be a city.

There were three types of animals: four-legged animals like cats, reptiles like lizards, and primates like gorillas.

If you classify it as a weapon, it will be difficult to match the standard if it is so different in shape, and the serviceability is probably the worst.

However, when it comes to such a realistic problem, there is something really romantic about this defeated armament.

Looking out at the super-precision reproduced diorama.

I'd like to take two of them home, but it's a delicate line as to whether or not they'll fit into the inventory at that size.

If it is destroyed in two, it is likely that each can be put as a separate object, but there is no point in taking back the broken one. No, it's not pointless at all, but I really want to get the perfect product.

Then there is no use in this village.

The village seems to have been equipped with barricades, but they have been completely destroyed. Looks like the barricade was facing south.

Given the northern location of the tree sea and the orientation of the barricade, it seems that this village is a devil's village where mankind has attacked. That's why there are so few human carcasses on the scale of the village.

However, the smoking building itself is not that big.

Some demons are slightly unfit to live in, or some demons will obviously not be able to get into the building.

From these circumstances, it is inferred that this village was originally a human village, but it was occupied by the devils and attacked by the human army to recapture it.

Professor reports that even in the western continent, humans have been deprived of their habitat by monsters, and everywhere seems to be a harsh environment for humans.

In that regard, the central continent was peaceful and good. We can afford to go to war between humans anyway.

It was just the right stage to call it the beginning of the continent.

We soon knew where the army of mankind had come from.

Because the Armored Beast Horse left a clear mark on the meadow.

I think that if the demons are concerned, they will be counterinvasive immediately, but I wonder if this is not because they are somewhat antagonistic to each other.

It seemed like the Great Demon looked down on humanity, but there was a discrepancy between the Commander's perception and the status quo on the front lines.

Perhaps if we could poke it well, it could be a counterattack for mankind, but it doesn't matter whether humankind on this continent wins or loses.

If only we could find out more about the Armored Beast Horse so long as humans survive.

The outpost we found seemed to be nothing more than a campsite with barricades similar to those found in the village earlier.

There are things like tents instead of dormitories and large tents instead of maintenance factories, but the Armor Beast rider is basically wild. There seemed to be no tent to replace the hangar.

When I approached the tent wondering what it was made of, it was sewn with tanned leather.

Speaking of such a large tent, there was the image of an ester canvas, but I don't think there is such a material. Natural leather may be cheaper in a world with many monsters and animals, even if it exists.

If the demon leather defeated in this tent is also used, the war will not end until either one of them is destroyed, so I turned to the wild armored beast rider.

There were still many kinds of armored beast riders lined up.

In addition to the types we've just seen, there are also slightly larger, Tyrannosaurus-like dinosaur types.

It's a little far away, and I wonder if it feels like an Ace or Commander plane.

It seems to have a texture close to iron when touched with a stick.

And that's all I know is that it's not an artifact, but it's an over-tech look.

"Okay, 'appraisal' and...."

The name of the weapon is still Armored Beast Knight.

The basic specifications are the same as Bechmos if the performance is separated.

All the abilities and stats of the characters on board will be replaced by Armored Beast Riders, which will be used to perform combat actions, etc.

I wonder if the talent set is quite high enough to be just out of sight in the 'appraisal' of the billing item.

However, skills and numbers seemed to vary from individual to individual, and there were also different types of armored beast riders. It might be customizable.

Also, like Behemoth, the Armor Beast Cavalry appears to have a personal registration and cannot be ridden by others as long as the current owner is alive.

It is a fatal disadvantage as a weapon, but if it is a prerequisite for the player to use it, it can be regarded as an irreplaceable specification.

The large dinosaur type was as powerful as Rare's queen ant.

This would be a considerable threat if mass production were possible, but if so, the war situation would be more favourable to mankind, and it is reasonable to assume that the number of units produced is limited. Or maybe there are fewer characters that can be handled even if they can be manufactured.

"I wonder if it's this dinosaur-shaped thing to take home. This size doesn't really make it into the inventory."

"─ ─ First aid must have been completed! Then it's no problem!

"─ ─ Problem! The demons must still be on alert in the attack earlier! Attacking again immediately ─ ─"

"But we can't leave our fallen comrades in the land! Even if you die, you won't be humiliated by demons! I have to get him home soon ─ ─"

"I know how you feel, but it's strategically pointless! I can't allow it as an Operations Officer!

"... that's why they say that you people in the staff field are not bleeding. War is only about people fighting. No token fights on the map. If we don't protect the dignity of those who died in battle, who will?

"However, the resources as an army are necessary for the soldiers to wear out ─ ─"

"Don't say that about wear and tear! Insufficient resources!? That's why I'm going alone!

And because we can't always do it, we have to do what we can when we can! When it's time, soldiers can also risk their lives because they can be trusted to protect their dignity with their lives!

There were two men and women approaching the dinosaur shape as they screamed.

An elf woman who seems to speak in a high-handed tone, and a skinny human man trying to conceal it.

They appear to belong to the same military organization, but there seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether they are in a different position or thinking.

From what I hear lightly, neither is decisively wrong.

If there is only one thing to say, it should be done in the meeting room, not in the open air that soldiers may be listening to.

Whatever it is, it seems that this dinosaur type is the horseman of an elf woman.

In that case, if you kill this woman, it will be fine and Lyla's.
