Episode 224: The Demonic Continent, First Battle
What kind of place is the Demonic Continent - a rocky and sandy continent with a gotten land like Mars that runs everywhere.
The trees are also low compared to other continents and are dusty because it doesn't rain too much.
We were running on M998A1 Hanvey (pseudo) on such a demonic continent.
Next to me driving, in the passenger seat, Mr. Gigi arms up and stares at the distance.
At first glance, that attitude seems to hold up somewhat, but is actually pale.
Hi. I don't seem to really like this Hanvey ride. Because of the untidy ground, Mr. Gigi's nose moves perfectly whenever he sways from scratch.
If I say it in people, I guess I'm making my face stretch.
My daughter-in-law plus alpha is aligned on the opposite long bench installed in the rear carrier section.
Now, how could a car that was on Earth in a previous life exist in this other world?
Of course, because I made it.
As I drove, I thought back to how I reacted when I showed Hanvey to Gigi and the others.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
Two days after the arrival of the demonic continent.
As predicted, we have been questioned by the Adventurer's Good Offices Association (Alliance) for a Heavy Rock Crusade.
Step through the earth of the demonic continent through the walls opposite the harbor.
Originally, you travel from the city's Heidingsfeld to heavy-rock sightings by carriage or horse.
Because I'm not just a short walk away.
But this time I didn't even rent a carriage or a horse.
Because we use newly developed magic tools to move around the demonic continent.
It's just near the walls, and it's not funny to make them look aggressive where people's eyes are, so they move around somewhat before putting them out on the lease.
"It'll be fine around here. Reese, please."
"Okay."
She wraps her palms around and takes out the magic tools she had stored in 'Infinite Storage'.
"Is this Lute's moving magic tool?
Mr. Gigi looks intrigued and turns his gaze to the moving magic tool - the M998A1 Hanvey - that appeared in front of him.
Except for Mr. Gigi, I'm not surprised because I've already seen it and I've tested it several times.
To be honest, I even bothered to be critical about which model to manufacture, but eventually I stepped into the manufacture of the M998A1 Hanvey.
So what the hell kind of car is M998A1 Hanvey?
Before giving that explanation first, we have to talk briefly about 'Jeep'.
In World War II, the U.S. Army operated a variety of mass-produced, centralized tactical vehicles.
Among them, a wide range of used military vehicles, such as moving to the front line, retreating to the rear, and transporting supplies rather than just personnel, were 'jeeps' (Willis MB, Ford GPW, produced during World War II. the production companies are just different and the two are of the same specification).
Even today, Jeeps are active in many countries' armies for mobility, light transport, etc.
However, the quantity and mass of weapons and equipment on board increases as we usher in the twenty-first century. It wasn't just the Jeep's successor again, it was all about cargo cars and small trucks in a single derivative.
As a result, it was the Hanvey series that was manufactured and developed.
Compared to the early Jeeps, Hanvey has grown larger and evolved into several times more powerful.
It was also abbreviated HMMWV (High - Mobility Multi - Purpose Wheeled Vehicle) rather than a light transport vehicle.
But just as hard as it is to call it, it becomes known as HUMVEE within the U.S. Army.
For commercial use it is called Hammer (HUMVER).
But from now on, let me call you 'Hanvey'.
Hanvey has produced about a hundred thousand kilograms since the American military adopted the formula in 1982 (mass production deployment since 1985).
And Hanvey gradually incorporated the experience gained from those wars & conflicts, creating a multitude of vehicle models - and evolved so much that they were separate.
However, it is the most basic type of vehicle, unarmed, open-top M998A1 soldier and freight transport type Hanvey that I have stepped into manufacturing this time.
Why did you choose the most basic M998A1, because we wanted the U.S. military to go through combat and develop it - sounds good, but to be honest, it was just a handful to manufacture this M998A1 Hanvey.
The steel frame that forms the backbone of Hanvey's basic vehicle platform (substituted with magical liquid metal) is a ladder frame (ladder-shaped frame. Two frames passing back and forth are called side members, and those that fall on ladder steps are called cross members. Ladder means ladder, by the way). There are five cross members.
Engines, seats, etc. can be attached to this frame.
The engine is also located behind the front wheel shaft, or midship engine (the engine is installed near the center of the vehicle bench. However, this is due to the effect of putting the radiator to sleep by means of submersion and bomb protection, etc., rather than balancing measures. Hence, the front grille of Hanvey has a distinctive appearance on the top).
Because Hanvey does not have a basic roof, the windshield frame present in the front is equipped with a degree of strength that is not a problem even if it falls.
You can also install a roof and put weapons there.
But just couldn't reproduce it until the engine.
For this reason, it is the demon stone motor that moves with magic.
So to be precise, it is a demon stone motor vehicle that is not an electric vehicle.
The trouble is, if the magic runs out, you have to open the bonnet once and pour the magic directly or replace it with a spare one.
Tires are also substituted using demonic materials with rubber-like materials.
The spare tires are left in the leash 'infinite storage'.
Honestly, the performance of a Demon Stone motor vehicle does not extend far to the M998A1 Hanvey.
It just looks just like it.
So I stick with the M998A1 Hanvey (pseudo) and add it in my chest.
I only pull out the parts that I can explain to Gigi and make her talk and listen.
"... you mean a carriage that doesn't need a horn horse, that moves with magic"
"Right. And the speed is not comparable to a carriage."
"Chris, I was also amazed at the sniper rifle that Lady uses, but this made something interesting again. Lute is as clever as ever. I used to make rare treats when I was in the mansion."
Mr. Gigi nods again and again in his arms as he nostalgic.
No, I don't know about talking about confectionery making and weapons and vehicle manufacturing in the same row...
Maya screams in an excited voice as she speaks for my mood.
"What are you talking about! This isn't about being clever or anything like that! We've developed a whole new magic tool called Demon Stone Motor! And when I say its high usage value! If this were announced to the public, how much the magic tools researchers of the world would stop the heart! That's such a stunning revolutionary feat! With the popularity of this Demon Stone Motor, you can transport supplies in incredibly fast and massive quantities faster than traveling by carriage! This is coming! I'm coming! The Great, Leather, and Revolution by Master Lute!
For some reason, Maya stretches one hand to her chest and the other to the sky.
Mr. Gigi nods again several times at such Maya's remarks and groans, 'Really?'.
Somehow these two conversations don't get weird and harassing.
"And for now, I don't even have time, shall we just move on? I'll drive. Mr. Gigi is next door, and Snow and the others will be asked in the back cargo bay space."
Everyone obeys my instructions and gets on board.
Incidentally, the number of people who can board can be put in the driver's seat & two passenger's seats and eight in the cargo section.
I can afford even the current number of people.
And I drive the M998A1 Hanvey (pseudo) to where Heavy Rock is.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
A bunch of heavy rocks are roaring and rushing this way.
The number is about thirty.
I see heavy rock for the first time, but I'm wrapped up in small and large rocks all over my body like armor.
They play it easy with swords, spears, and elementary attack magic with that rock.
Sure enough, if you're a co-adventurer, you're on the loose.
But it's Chris Gunsmith we're dealing with right now.
Plus she sits tight between Hanvey's carriage, her bench, and turns to Heavy Rock coming after SVD (Dragnov sniper gun).
We were checking to see if we could fight the demons of the Demon Continent in turn.
Sure, I heard Heavy Rock acts in the herd, but I didn't imagine he was traveling in such numbers.
If it had been a carriage, they would have caught up to me right away.
But what we're on right now is Hanvey, a high-orbit general-purpose wheelbarrow on Earth, in a previous life.
It's more difficult to maintain a speed that you don't shake off.
And at first, he had an SVD (Dragnov sniper gun) to see if Chris could fight and reduce the number of heavy locks.
Darn!
Chris fires 7.62mm x 54R!
Stick a heavy lock eyeball and send a bullet straight into the deepest part of your head.
Heavy locks that just cover your entire body with rocks can't harden your eyes and head interior either. The momentum collapses on the spot and rolls off the ground well for a couple of degrees.
Chris points the gun right at the second one.
Darn!
Darn!
Darn!
Shots fired three times in a row.
The three heavy rocks rolled down the ground like the first one.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
You got hit on the head by a buddy, one heavy rock growls.
As you run, strip off your own rocks that adhere to your shoulders beckoning.
The rocks are large in softball.
I've thrown that at you without hesitation!
The rock hits Hanvey faster than the wind.
"Mazz!"
I'm about to cut my steering wheel.
'Bakaaan!' the rock splashed in the air before reaching Hanvey.
Apparently, Chris shot it out.
She points at the heavy lock she's been throwing and shoots back all in return.
Of course, the heavy rock that threw her bullet couldn't possibly come off rolls down the ground.
The body vibrates irregularly because it runs on unpaved ground. And Chris hasn't missed a shot yet.
Same shooting technique.
This is how Chris snipes the heavy locks coming after him as he escapes in Hanvey to reduce the number.
With some reduction in numbers, we tried to see if our powers worked.
About thirty minutes from the start of the fight.
Safe, I was able to defeat about thirty heavy locks I encountered.
Stop Hanvey when Chris has reduced the number and he has five left. Down, I, Snow, Reese, Shea and Gigi dealt with each other one at a time.
Me and Snow are AK47. The magazine kept full armor ammunition just in case.
Armored rounds were fine and they were able to pierce and knock down heavy rocks.
Reese uses the PKM of the general-purpose machine gun General Purpose Machine Gun. Concentrate the bullet on the head and bring it down.
Shea rarely uses coffers, and "wasp knife" - translated directly, she hasn't used a "tin bee knife" in a long time.
He stabbed the blade of the knife into a heavy lock eyeball, sprayed gas made of magic accumulated in the pattern, and ripped the inside of his head into a snag.
Mr. Gigi used the magic of the wind.
Wind x Wind intermediate magic to wrap wind blades around arms
The range of attack is extremely narrow, but it seems to be highly penetrating.
It was piercing Heavy Rock's heart like a task and causing him to die instantly.
Mr. Gigi is really strong.
That's Mage B Plus.
How on earth is my husband strong that even Gigi can't stand his teeth...
In the meantime, we experienced a lot of combat experience.
"... but again, I think the demons of the Demonic Continent are really scary."
"Really? I beat him up easier than I thought."
We were pulling a redeemable spot from the body of the heavy rock we took down.
Heavy Rock's redeemable material is Demon Stone.
The chest of the body, almost in the central part, has stones of a different colour than the other rocks.
This is the Demon Stone.
Demonic stones that can be taken from heavy rocks can build up more magic than they look with better quality than normal objects.
I reply to Snow's dialogue as he pulls such demonic stones out of the heavy rock.
"The attack did go through, but that's not the problem, and the demons of the Demon Continent are very belligerent compared to those of other continents. Normally, if there were 30 of them and one of them was defeated after another, some of them would escape on the way, wouldn't they? Yet Heavy Rock literally didn't try to escape until he was the last one. Isn't this a little scary?
'Sure. You can't get out of your mind until you defeat the last one,' he says, putting up a mini blackboard so Chris agrees with me.
"Demons of the Demonic Continent do not diminish their warfare at all to the extent that one arm or leg has been severed a thousand times. Anything with a strong life force strikes me, even if it's just my neck. So be careful not to be alarmed just because Lute and the others have defeated you."
Mr. Gigi does not stop the work and speaks a word of caution.
Oh, man, I came to a totally awesome place.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
After recovering the Heavy Rock demon stone, the body was incinerated.
Not to feed other demons.
I ran more Hanvey and fought several times looking for Heavy Rock.
Enough for the feel, I realized that the firearms in my hand would pass through this demonic continent as well.
Then take Hanvey to Heidingsfeld and head back to Harbor Street.
Eventually, he came back to the city a little after noon.
Once again, we turn Hanvey into unlimited storage for the lease and walk into the city.
Cash changeover is mostly just around the corner through the gate.
Because adventurers don't want to carry heavy baggage long enough, and because things can be too big to carry all over the city.
Mr. Gigi had the bag filled with heavy rock demon stones.
I'm going straight to the cash changer with that leg - but one, I dive through the gate and my leg stops right away.
One of them is Reese Gunsmith.
"!? Lara, sister...... ugh!
"Eh! Hey! Reese!"
All of a sudden, she runs all over the city.
Her legs aren't that fast, but they all fall behind because they've been amazed and hardened.
"And for now, I'm going after you, so everyone go to the cash changer!
Not hearing back, I leave Snow and the others on the spot and follow Reese.
She runs the crowd, so sometimes she goes back, back, apologizing for hitting the passers-by's body.
Reese bent the corner, so I put my strength into my legs, and I chase after her.
Turning around the corner, about 30 m away, I discovered her comparing the left and right paths.
"Reese!"
Speaking up, Reese looks back and finally remembers us.
"Shh, excuse me! I left you guys and ran out."
"No, don't worry about it. So what happened? Suddenly. Sounds like he was screaming Reese's sister's name right before he ran out."
Reese trembles on my shoulder at my word.
In the alley, I didn't immediately notice because I was hiding in the shade of the building, but her complexion was turning blue.
It's as if my whole body has bled out......
Reese tells in a fine voice.
"... I did"
Mouth the fact she saw earlier with her tone and expression, 'Incredible'.
"My sister, Lara Enor Memea, was in the city crowd earlier......"
Reese's sister, High Elf Kingdom Enole, First Princess, Lara Enole Memea disappeared decades ago during a war on the demonic continent.
No one has been able to locate it since then.
Reese, Lara's real sister, tells me she saw her like that at Heidingsfeld, Harbor Street, the gateway to this demonic continent.
"... forgive me for being rude, but isn't that a mistake or something?
"No, you can't possibly see it wrong. That was definitely Lara's sister. But how could your sister be in a place like this..."
Reese baffled with a blue-white face.
Hold and support her body, which is still about to fall.
Reese grabs my clothes, too.
A demonic continent where demon kings still survive.
Decades ago, Lara Enor Memere, who should have disappeared.
And why Count Dan Gate Blood is hostile to us.
All this is a little too much to clean up as a 'coincidence'.
It's like an insinuation that something ominous happens.
Me and Reese didn't say anything, but they felt that way.
