Episode Twenty: Army of Hell

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

"The Brilliant Jade Soldier...!?"

The emergence of more than 1000 brilliant jade soldiers.

We were warned by unexpected reports of murder.

"Where did you secure the fueled organism from...!

The question of nemesis was natural.

Given the Huangyu soldier's "We must store the organism and use it as a power source" specification, we thought the number of operations was limited to the number that was out in the mountains.

Assuming the stock of the fuselage is thousands, it doesn't make sense if you can't move it.

If, as you guessed yesterday, there were a handful of power-furnace-mounted machines, there's no way they could otherwise move without fuel.

but......,

'All the brilliant Jade soldiers that emerged, they had tubes attached to their backs...!

"Tubes?...... ugh!

In that answer, I found out why so many brilliant soldiers were moving.

"Power cable!!"

I should say magic cable to be exact, but the same thing.

Instead of piling up organisms these days, they gain energy to move directly from (...).

You won't be able to go away like the first individual I've encountered, beyond being wired.

But if you stay away from the ruins and defend yourself inside or at the entrance, that's enough.

Using the power of that monument itself, which is still alive after 2,000 years, it would be possible to activate the brilliant Jade Soldier if it were 1,000 bodies.

"Cable on your back, no if you cut the tube......!

"He said he executed it in the field, but didn't stop immediately... he reconnected himself,"

... I see, the measures are adequate.

Plus, if it's a short time, you can keep it running in the charge (charging) minutes from the cable.

It has troublesome specifications......!

"... So, Tom Cat and the others, any word from the penetrating members of

The voice of a guild official over a telecom answers Azrite's question in a harsh way.

'... a brilliant jade soldier who suddenly massed and attacked, plus half of them were defeated by linked traps. Many of the remaining masters did not go any further and fell into a glued state with the Brilliant Jade Soldier,'

< Master > is a powerful force.

However, in the opponent's mound called Inside, more than 1000 bodies are dropped if they fight the equivalent of a sub dragon.

Even if there was a big firepower, he probably couldn't do everything he could in a narrow space with some allies.

But we know someone who can make a full move in that situation.

"A lot of” means some of those who went ahead?

"[Cat God] Tom Cat shouted to the depths as he scratched through a large group of single, brilliant Jade soldiers,"

"Mr. Tom......!

Again, Mr. Tom was alive and well.

In a situation with far more enemies than yesterday, he's still fighting for me.

Copy that. We're moving on to defense.

'Okay. We'll get back to you as soon as we make another move. "

That's how the communication from the guild went out.

"... unexpected, no, maybe you should have assumed. Threats to the defense system."

Azrite on one hand is a sinking face.

"If this happens, Tom will have to take care of the plant shutdown."

"... oh"

The idea of "no matter how single Tom is," coupled with the thought of "if Tom is" from Tom's battle yesterday.

"... Either way, from the brilliant Jade soldiers that have now overflowed the entrance, we have to destroy them in turn"

"Uhm."

That's how when I tried to head to < ruins > to sweep the Huangyu soldiers - I got another incoming call to the comms machine that had just been cut off.

"What's going on?

"Dear Azrite, I just got some new information from < Ruins >...!

The voice seemed to be the same or more werewolf than it was earlier.

From the rear of the group who were responding to the Brilliant Jade soldier in "The Ruins," a wooden doll (...) has massively staged an ambush...!

"... Become!?"

Dolls.

Needless to say, that doll must have destroyed thirty of them in the mountains.

And perhaps... it's something that Dr. Mario is manipulating.

"At this time, a surprise attack……!?"

"... it makes sense. Now, what can be done to sandwich the power of the kingdom with the brilliant Jade Soldier (...). After that, I suppose there's a way to control the battle with the Brilliant Jade Soldiers and get inside."

A great opportunity to bury the trespassing power on the kingdom's side, huh?

"Dear Azrite, From the Countess, the Knights of Carcellatan territory - '

That communication was interrupted when a voice over the comms machine tried to say something on top of each other.

…… What's the matter with you?

Azrite asks, but only noise returns without connection.

I am anxious and will look at the city of Calcheratan but there is no abnormality there.

Apparently, communication just interrupted, and something didn't happen to the guild.

"… communication blocked, or"

The long-range communication blockade that has already been found is what Dr. Mario was doing.

I guess I switched that to a blockade that included long-range as well as short-range communications.

I thought that short-range communications could be used so far to slow down the exposure of the inability to use long-range communications, or maybe I was using them myself.

Since it is no longer necessary, did you also crush short-range communication?

"Horns on the rabbit, let's head to. More than Drife is pointing his power at us, so are we... Azrite?

I tried to get the silver out and head to the ruins.

But Azrite doesn't stare at the carcellatan and make it slight.

No, to be exact - I'm looking further beyond the Carcellatan.

"... hey, Ray"

Azrite asks with a trembling voice.

It wasn't a tremor of fear... it seemed to be indulging in some anger.

"What does it look like to you...... arr (...)?

Azrite pointed to the city of Calcherathan… of the mountain that lies ahead, above.

Under its cloudy weather......

□ Calcheratan/Inn

"Phew. That's it for the cabin."

Before dawn, Lefty, an employee of the inn where the Rays stayed, had been cleaning and feeding monsters' huts that resembled chickens kept in the inn since the early morning.

It is one of the tasks we do every day and the lefties are also aware of it as the beginning of the day.

"Next time we need to clean the bathroom before it opens."

Lefty was helped on the battlefield by the innkeeper.

Since then, he has also been given a provisional name and has been allowed to live and work in this inn.

I have lost my memory and right arm on the battlefield, but I am still entrusted with the task of being able to do so.

Lefty thought softly that his daily work would be a labor he had never done before losing his memory and right arm.

But it was still satisfying.

He had a sense of sufficiency to work hard in this inn.

Most importantly, the people in this inn...... and I liked Shirley.

One day I would be glad to cut this inn up with Shirley, but I also thought it was disproportionate for me without my right arm or face.

It should be noted that Shirley also has no reason to know that she likes him on the inside, or that her parents and other employees are also watching her two love hearts with a smile.

If he stays on his days without anything, his own arms and loss to his face and so on will naturally fade, and it will be only a matter of time before the two young people get along.

Keep it up, everything's fine, if you spend your day--

"Hmmm today............ Huh?

When Lefty saw the sky starting to rise in the sun and thought, "It's a raw cloudy sky today,"

"... Oh, yeah?

- I saw the sole.

Under the cloudy skies...... countless shadows, flying from the mountain with the inn and the mountain across the street across from the Karcheratan.

Sole had a dark gray body.

Sole was like a man to five bodies, growing wings.

Sole looked terribly ugly.

Sole was herded in as large a number as 2000.

"Ah, ah..."

Look at Sole, behind Lefty's brain...... the sight I saw somewhere revives.

That must be the sight before he lost his memory.

- A sight shouldered alongside the Kingsguard Knights dressed in white armor.

- A pleasant sight to be heard by the venerable [Heavenly Knight].

- The sight of the two armies starting to bump into each other shortly after the war began.

- The sight of soldiers on the front line being killed by countless monsters.

- The sight of a sole flying over 3000 miles from the sky to those of us.

- The sight of the knights of white armor being swarmed and killed by the sole.

- The sight of Sole eating a thousand slices of his right arm and facial skin.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!?"

Sole is a lefty before he lost his memory - something Alzar Brittis Jr once saw on the battlefield.

Sole was...... demon (...).

And so the three armies will come together.

3000 machines.

A thousand dolls.

And the demon of 2000.

On the morning of the third day after Ray's visit, Karcherathan was exposed to threats from the three armies.
