Episode 88: Armor Ant's Nest
Two months have passed since the hunting of armor ant nests. We have not yet attacked the first armored ant nest.
"Oh, the shaven is powerful."
"Thank you"
Allen is now in a village that forges a mythril ore at the foot of the White Dragon Mountains into a mythril in a blast furnace. This is a village I started making in April.
Allen is now carrying lumber with men in a rather murky village.
The reason I am here is that I tried to clear out more than 1,000 armor ants and killed more than 200 a day, but I couldn't beat it even after a month. He continued to hunt five days a week, two days a week, so he should have defeated over 2,000 armor ants in January.
However, it continues to spring. This nest may be as large as 3,000 or 5,000, which happens to be more than the 1,000 we heard.
In fact, it can be expected that it was a very large nest, but there is one thing to worry about. The armor ants who have defeated nearly 200 have disappeared beautifully the next time they head to the nest. Perhaps new armor ants are being made by feeding on the corpses of armor ants. Armor ants continue to be born, feeding on armor ants. Only fear.
Then, it is not possible to recover the defeated armor ants in order not to feed the new armor ants. The armor ants that continue to spring indefinitely are in the way and magic stones cannot be recovered. Experience is better than any of the previous hunts, but there is no financial taste.
So I consulted with the butler. In the story of the knight commander, I knew that he had been quite flexible so far, so I asked him for no good.
I would like you to take a hunting turn and a break in succession and stay overnight.
Armor ant nests in the White Dragon Mountains are far from Allen, who has increased speed with levels and protection. This is not enough time for hunting. Therefore, the current waiter, hunting turn, and vacation schedule are switched, so that the hunting turn and the break are continuous. We talked about hunting for two consecutive days.

Butler makes a difficult face to say that he stays out. He seemed to be refused, so he asked if he could help the village to forge Mithril, but he agreed to say so much.
According to my servant, Rickel, staying out basically seems useless. It was often said that permission was granted. Apparently he said he couldn't.
It would make sense to spend one night in this village to capture armor ants for two consecutive days, so that even a few hours of helping a village at the foot of the White Dragon Mountains could help you.
The number of defeats of 200 armor ants per day was increased to 300.
From mid-April, the nest of armor ants began to change for two consecutive days, staying overnight in a village at the foot of the White Dragon Mountains.
After helping the log carrier and other villages in the foothills of the White Dragon Mountains, as if killing armor ants that appeared in the nest as usual, unprecedented changes occurred.
The armor ants coming out of the nest have finally stopped.
(It's coming! At last my persistence!
A fixed number of armor ants were always gushing out, but new armor ants did not come out if defeated as before.
(This is the time of the attack. What to do)
There is a huge hole that is 3 meters wide and wide open.
(I brought a torch or a magic light for lighting, but first let me go to the summons)
I want to check the condition inside the nest. There should be a queen armor ant inside, so you have to find out where the queen armor is in the nest.
Investigation inside the hole is necessary.
(Now, do you want to send a chappie in the hole?
Determine what to send. Send a bird D summoner who has a special skill "Yame" for darkness, instead of a bird G summoner.
(Hmm, chappy doesn't play a role yet.)
Summoning levels have increased, and useful skills such as sharing have increased. We are investigating what kind of playing place is possible for all Summons if possible.
I think that the special skill "voice imitation" of the bird G summoning beast is quite useful. Especially when sharing is involved, the range of applications is considerably widened.
Verification of voice imitation ・ Can imitate human voice
Conditions for imitating the voice-You must listen to the subject's voice-You must know the name of the subject
When there was no sharing, I had to specify the content of the words and the voice of the person within 50 meters. It was difficult to use, but sharing greatly increased the usefulness of this feat. The voice object and the content can always be instructed, and the location can be moved. The possibilities have expanded considerably, but for now there is no use.
Despite this, the summons of bird D continue to move through the hole.
(The inside is quite large. This is not enough for one body.)
Going back and forth. The huge armor ants inhabit more than 1,000 bodies, and the bottom looks like a pretty labyrinth. The tunnel continues forever, branching out several times.
Here, the opponent of the queen armor ant and the summons of bird D are added three more, and go into the nest.
(I see, this is a small room.
Allen transcribes the nest's strategy map into the spellbook, moving the four summons forward. It turned into a small room where it branched, and it was a dead end.
It was not that there were no armor ants as they infiltrated. A bird D summoned by a large jaw of an armor ant in a small room.
(Gunnu, don't give up. Uh)
The armored ants were found to be still in the nest. I saw about 3 bodies before they were killed, so it seems that there is a reasonable number.
Consider a strategy for burrow capture.
The four bird D summoners that are currently summoned will remain intact, and four new summons of the already summoned beast D will be shared.
The three birds D summon the beast in advance to create a capture map. If you are killed, resummon only the amount that was killed. Proceed through a tunnel that slowly descends from the place where it was killed. Get a complete picture of this nest.
Then, mark the capture map created in the magic book at the place where the armor ants were killed. A formation unit of three beasts D and one bird D rushes into the marked place. All armor ants in the small room are destroyed. Occasionally I kill all larvae in my small room.
The summon beast of Beast D is completely invisible because it is a dark tunnel that does not allow light to pass through. I don't even see Allen sharing. Based on the visible information of the special skill "Yome" of the bird D summoning with him, he instructs the monster D summoning beast.
The burrow that started in the morning is too late. When he was just beginning, he was in good shape, but the armor ants were not silent.
(Gu, again trapped)
Armor ants are about the size of a burrow. Since the burrow and the armor are almost the same size, if there is an armor ant, we cannot go further. There is an armor ant trying to get back to the dead end. Since it cannot be defeated just by the summon beast of bird D, it becomes a completely trapped form. In that case, return to the card once. When you return to the card, it will be automatically stored in the holder, so resummon and reenter the burrow.
Of course, armor ants are also in the passage. The Summon of Beast D will be defeated both in the aisle and in the small room. The armor ants can't move forward because they get in the way, so pull the crushed head to the handle or push it to move the corpse of armor ants. The summons need to be able to pack well into small rooms and dead ends so that they can proceed.
(I feel like I'm doing puzzles. Is this a burrow capture?)
Fill the map, defeat the armor ants, and move the defeated armor ants forward. I feel like playing some kind of puzzle game.
When Allen was Kenichi in his previous life, there was a mini-game in the game. Although it is an adventure fantasy for some reason, there are quiz tournaments and mini games in mini games. The ant nest capture feels like this.
Finally, after the evening, the summon of Bird D finally found the largest armor ant at the bottom of the burrow.
