Episode Two: War Boundaries

□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

"I don't like it. I was just telling you about the pageant, but the Beasleys are going to be there?

After the next job was decided, the werewolf cherry blossoms have asked that question.

"Yep.... with that tone of mouth, wolf cherry blossoms too?

"Oh, you're one of the Rankers, so the interview was here."

I will attend this request, of course, outside of our party.

A duel ranker acquaintance hears Juliette and Chelsea, Mr. Riser and Mr. Bishmal will be joining us.

Azrite told me that Senior Feminized Students and Senior Moonshadow will also participate. Anything seems to be an accumulation of hearts and minds that will promptly repay some of the debts made in Mr. Hannya's case.

Furthermore, this time my brother will also participate. I recently questioned my brother's offer, which I didn't really want to get out of Gideon, but it would still be comforting if my brother would stay by my side.

At this point, the formation on the kingdom's side is powerful. Seniors also said 'you have more fighting power than the last war'.

However, some people are absent.

Ms Figaro had a seizure in real life after her recent proposal and is unable to participate because she is in the hospital. Hanya seems to be accompanying Figaro in real life, too, and she doesn't look like she's logged in here.

Mr. Laylay was originally an irregular logged-in person, so he's not here this time either.

As a result, there were two out of five participants in Super.

"What about cashmere?

"I hear Darling has some business at home just that day. You don't seem to know if you can log in by the time."

The absence of Cashmere, the Kingdom's most powerful form of personal combat alongside Mr. Figaro, is painful.

But like Mr. Laylay, the inability to stay within Dendro at that time is also a matter of no choice.

Tom also said that circumstances prevented him from participating.

That guy said, "Isn't that the operational side?" It seems there have been rumors for a long time, so maybe it's that fence.

"When the werewolf cherry blossoms participate... it will be a joint front between me and the werewolf cherry blossoms and the Super Killer. … reminds me of the King's Capital in March"

Speaking of which, the three of us here were central figures in that blockade.

Three people who were once hostile to the kingdom in some conspiracy, now fight all together to defend the kingdom.

Considering that, there is also some emotional depth.

"Where did Eldridge go for the rest of him......"

"Ah. I have a bit of information for you. After that incident, he said he was rolling around fighting [Corpse Immortal] Xuan Yu, [Earth Goddess] Fatum, [Archdeacon] Soy Sauce Antibacterial, [Slashing God (The Sabre)] Numerous Majority (Murder Sushi) Shashi (Saki) and < Super > everywhere."

"I've never heard of the last one but... that's a very scaly name"

An unlimited majority (10 times 68) ….

"That's what I thought when I first heard it, too. By the way, Shashi said his last name was his real name."

"You know Marie?

"I know you from your training days over there. It's super in heaven and earth."

Heaven and earth... You don't hear a lot about Super over there because it's pinched across the continent and opposite.

"" Yinglong ",“ Magic is the strongest ",“ Human bomb ",“ Breaking boundaries ”to Todome?... Eldridge guy, why are you always fighting and selling to such a bad person? Wasn't he a little more discreet?

"Our Castle was dissolved in the wake of that incident, but I guess Goblin Street had a lot of pain. Trying to cover that, you must have overlaid your defeat. … it is proof left that I have fought all my bad opponents"

"With him, the range of tactics will expand again. It's a very strong type for people who are good at it."

On the contrary, you mean someone who has been fighting and challenging that much < super >?

It's called a tactic thing I've heard before, after all, [Robbery King] Eldridge must be a fierce man.

"Well, I don't mind about him. Whatever you do, you're one of us at your next job. We used to kill each other, but let's get along."

"Right."

"Oh. Nice to meet you"

I told him that, and he shook hands.

Wolf cherry blossoms are good people too...... pig rush in PK though.

□ [Dead Soldier] Ray Sterling

Then I immediately transferred to [Dead Soldier]. [Dead Soldier] had no transfer conditions and the transfer was easy because he was a general purpose job transferable in most crystals.

So now, we're going away for a little while at the party and we're on a level.

Me and Luke, Marie who changed jobs to [reporters] and senior who changed jobs to [shield giants], the other two frames are Marilyn and Audrey. I generally do it in this kind of organization when I level up.

"Speaking of which, Marilyn and Audrey, aren't you getting bigger than you first saw?

"Are you fat?

To the words of Nemesis, Marilyn and Audrey protest by ringing 'VAMOO' or 'KIEE'. The gender seems to be female, so maybe the word "fat" was NG.

"Both Marilyn and Audrey are getting pretty level. Perhaps the race will change within it."

That's what Luke says and strokes Marilyn and Audrey's neck.

Speaking of which, I've previously heard that 'monsters can change to race as individuals level up'.

It's like a longevity RPG that grows monsters in balls, but part of it seems to be the result of the monsters getting stronger that way.

Are you saying that two of the subdragon classes could also be in a higher class now?

"If I can grow by the conference in two weeks, I can broaden my tactics... but I don't know if I'll make it."

"Oh well."

"But Mr. Ray's working on it, and I'll keep it as strong as I can."

"Thank you, Luke"

But on a level, you're more than double it.

... I'll try harder too.

"By the way, Mr. Ray. Looks like we're focusing on a pageant meeting in two weeks, but you know that's where the story doesn't end?

Marie throws those words at me as I sit on the carriage of a dragon car.

"Oh. If something happened at the pageant two weeks later, you're talking about a high official going straight to war, aren't you?

"Exactly. Oh, special specifications during the war...... do you know what the story is about?

"I know. I looked into it after Franklin."

The war begins when the heads of State of the warring parties activate a mechanism that is above consent.

It is also known as the War Conclave, which simultaneously activates and imposes special specifications on the territory of the warring States and on the whole of Dendro.

There are three main specifications.

The first is' Login Restrictions in War Parties of the Master '.

During the war, only those within thirtieth place in the rankings of each country can enter.

During the war, boundaries are developed to mark the border and the out-of-ranking masters are closed. Force you to log out even if you were in the country at the start of the.

Crusades and duels rankings are limited in number, but if they belong only to the clan that entered the clan rankings for the duration of the war, they will no longer be played.

The aim of this specification is twofold.

First, the reduction of damage.

Without ranking restrictions, the inevitable participation in the war increases, as does the damage both countries suffer in the war. That's one reason to keep it down.

However, in this specification, a ranker other than a Party to the War may also enter a Party to the War.

In fact, Cardina is sending a ranker into Drife in the last war.

The second aim is the prevention of crime.

To play the Master who multiplies the war to commit a crime.

Like members of the famous clan, for example, the internationally nominated < master > does not belong to the country and is inevitably not even in the rankings, so it is ejected by the junction during the war.

They say this specification prevents crimes from being committed everywhere during the war.

I wish I could do this from time to time, but it seems that there is a time limit for me to be able to continuously start the War Realm, and I can't do it.

The second special specification is' Increased internal time '.

Normally, the interior of the dendro passes three times as long as the real one, but accelerates to thirty times (...) during the war.

This applies to the whole of Dendro, so it seems to be close to bonus time for < masters > outside the warring countries.

But what it means is that a month's time passes in a day is very heavy.

War is a month... often settled during a real day, as it is also limited to a month in time within Dendro to be able to use continuously.

At the same time, what it means is… "If you become a death penalty during the war, you can't log back in during the war".

During the war, you can't come back to the war any more when you fall.

If you die on the way, you will no longer be able to do it until the war is over.

The third special specification is' Conditions of victory '.

Upon activation, both countries present victory conditions and demands.

It is the victory of those who achieve the victory conditions first, and the defeated side must swallow the demands offered by the other party.

This is more than the highest-class [contract] I've ever heard before, and it is said that if it were to be a rebellion, there would be more tragic consequences to be had than the destruction of the whole territory in war.

Most importantly, this is like a safety to prevent excessive destruction in war, or… to make it fair.

It seems that Dendro's war is the one that deceives and rebels less than the war in real life because of the [contract] and the specifications of the "terms of victory" and becomes a head-on battle. Or is it structured that way?

However, there are certain rules for the presentation of the conditions of victory that will be the liver of war.

If one side puts up a difficult victory condition, the other has to set the same level of difficulty.

In the last war, the kingdom also had to fit under the heavy condition of 'complete withdrawal of the Imperial Army from the territory' because the Empire set out the heavy condition of 'fall of the King's Capital'.

As a result, the Empire did not reach the King's Capital with the intervention of Cardina, although it had seized the former Lunings territory in the last war, and the Kingdom failed to achieve the condition that it could leave its territory because it had been defeated by the Imperial Army. Both failed to achieve the terms of victory and reached a truce in the draw.

But in this regard, it is said, 'Did the Empire set this victory condition by thinking from the beginning to the measures of the next good'?

To win and end the old Lunings territory on the way to the Wang capital, even if it could not be won for any reason.

For the record, it seems that if one side "unlocks the War Realm" along the way, it will also automatically be a victory for the other side. So it's unclear what to do with the right victory conditions, but it's also possible to target both the lifting of the War Conclave.

Of course, you can also wage war without launching the War Realm.

But what awaits ahead is the total force battle lost even the line of "how far to go to war".

It is also visible that the civilian population is involved in numerous… sacrifices, as is the case with Franklin in Gideon and with [the Demon General] in Calcellatan.

Hence, even in Dendro's history, he has used the War Conclave with "Conditions of Victory" as if it were a game.

And, assuming that the two countries split at the harmony conference, they would use < War Connection > after having stated the time.

"So what do you think is our biggest problem when it comes to war?

"... that no one is a ranker"

One of the specifications, "Login Restrictions in War Parties of the Master," prevents you from staying in the Kingdom and Empire, which are war parties, except for the Ranker.

And since we are not rankers as one, we will be rounded up and bounced out as we are.

But it's hard to rank now.

Crusade rankings competing for accumulated points for monster crusades are single-pitchers of wide area annihilation and ancient ginseng.

A duel can be won by betting rank with a ranker, but you have to score at least a certain amount in a duel by the time you try the bottom thirty of the rankings in the first place.

Inevitably, crusades and duels don't have enough time.

When that happens, the only path left is clan ranking.

Clan rankings seem to aggregate and rank Quest Difficulties achieved so far for all members.

That's also a point system based on difficulty rather than simply aggregating, and they say the more difficulty you have, the higher the points.

However, it multiplies by two points in difficulty one, four points in two and eight points in three...... omitted en route, nine being 512 points.

And the top 10 points of difficulty fluctuate from time to time, but they are at least 10240 (...) points.

"... of, given the legality of that number, isn't ten one hundred and twenty-four? Is that a different digit?

I don't think so either, but they say 10 of the difficulty of the quest is a specification that jumps both difficulty and points.

It should be noted that the points are divided by the number of human beings involved in completing the quest, which seems to be a mechanism distributed evenly to each.

It is even said that if you complete a number of difficulty levels 10 in solo, you will be placed in the clan rankings on that alone, but few such people will.

A clan that enters the clan ranking is a clan that mostly performs quests with a large number of people. Some clans are elite enough to solve high-difficulty quests such as eight or nine, but they can be described as a minority.

I am also convinced that one of the kingdoms is Senior Feminized Student. Abandoned groups with the largest number of people, most of whom consider Dendro to be real. It's weirder if you're not first.

There are many clans that recruit temporary members in order to enter the rankings, such as now, which is likely to be a war, and the ranking may vary depending on that..., but the first place in the Moon Life Meeting will still be immovable.

Incidentally, the rankings will be updated every three months in real life, but the announcement date for the next rank is a week after this time.

There is also an increase in clan membership in the city of Gideon, as it is just in front of a harmonious meeting that could lead to war.

It should be noted that in the last empire, temporary members looking to participate in the war also took a cut and moved to a clan in the rankings if their subscribed clan could not be included.

That's the ant, so it's possible to join as long as you get into a clan in the rankings before the war.

"It's hard to be a ranker in crusades and duels now, so I think when it comes to war, you'll be joining the clan temporarily"

"Well, that's the only way, isn't it? Even me and Beasley didn't have the strength to crusade or duel monsters."

"... you were in the bottom of the clan rankings when Wesen was alive, but now you're not in any rankings"

Really? Because K&R is at the top of the clan rankings, are seniors who were PK clans of the same size also in the rankings?

"Would you like to borrow it from the Chairman's < Lunar Meeting >? I suppose you'd let me join you if you asked me, wouldn't you?

"It... I honestly want to avoid it"

You're going to owe me as much as you want, and I'm afraid of later.

"I don't know anyone else... Cashmere's < K&R > is also in the rankings, but that's hard because it's essentially Cashmere and its fan clubs"

... Even if it's a PK clan, it seems better than a senior feminized student's.

"In the meantime, I've been talking about letting Chelsea's clan borrow it for a while, so I'll hit that one"

"Oh. Is that the Golden Pirates? Don't worry about it."

The Golden Pirates are a clan owned by Chelsea, the No. 8 duel ranked "Vagrant Golden Sea".

A clan that has crossed from Gran Baroa with her, she works from duels to quests and dungeon explorations.

The clan rankings have come and gone between 10th and 20th, so the publication date for the next ranking will also be in ten or eighty-nine.

That's what I thought, and I had promised a temporary accession between mock wars.

"Not only for me, but when someone I know wants to, they say it's okay. I think we can work it out."

"Really? Why don't you ask me when I get back to Gideon just in case?

"Okay."

Then we continued our hunt that day to the point where the sun tilted, and by the time the sun set, we were back in Gideon.

That's how I decided to rendezvous with everyone else at a restaurant I used a lot later, and I went to talk to Chelsea about joining the clan.

And Chelsea, the person she was looking for, was single-handedly snagging alcohol jocks in the dining room where she was going.

"Ugh... I can't believe I'm in love... I don't give a shit about love..."

I'm leaning down with a thick negative aura that I don't think is my usual luxurious and flamboyant girlfriend.

"Chelsea...... cheer up"

By the side, duel ranker buddy Juliette is gently stroking his head to comfort him.

Note that she has juice in her cup because Real is a minor.

"Juliette.... what happened to Chelsea?

…… It's because of the emotional business that people carry. "

Speaking up, Juliette turns to us.

And you've explained the situation to me the way you always talk.

"Trouble with a relationship?

"Ruri. The ruin of the golden group came by love, and with the twilight of today it all departed."

"... the clan began to collapse in the midst of an emotional disbanded this evening?

Juliette nodded to my confirmation.

But even if it's affirmed, I'm in trouble.

Anyway, even if the Golden Pirates were dissolved, there were no plans or anything.

"... Chelsea, why the hell are you doing that again?

"............ do you hear that?

Chelsea looks up and turns to me with a red face with a fixed eye.

Honestly, I'm scared.

"Uh... but yeah. Ray was talking about joining the clan during the war, and I'm not supposed to explain it."

That being said, Chelsea sighed and began to explain.

"The starting point was that there was a bastard in the clan who had twenty strands."

"Niju..."

… it is also something that has spread its hands far too wide.

I mean, physically possible. That multiple affair.

"I hear you've been doing pretty well, but I think I finally found out about this last love festival"

Since it's a couple festivals, has the date booked all over?

Or the women "going on a date with that guy", "Huh? He's my boyfriend," he said, "No! It's my balls! ♪ Maybe I found out like a potato crawl ♪

... rather something I didn't find out until the Love Fight Festival.

"He quit us so he could escape, but the crack spread from there... Finally, our clan is disbanded today"

"I don't know what to say..."

It kind of makes me sad when I think that's the end of the mighty clan.

It's a human gathering in the end, so maybe there's nothing we can do when that relationship breaks down.

"So... you know what makes me angriest about this?

"No, not at all..."

Chelsea looked even more horrible when I shook her head.

I didn't even bite the shard myself. "

Her words bore emotions indistinguishable from sadness and anger.

Honestly, I don't know what to say.

Juliette next door to Chelsea seems to be grating somewhere, too.

'... you weren't even approached by a numb guy like you going out with twenty people'

You're never gonna say that, are you?

Worst of all, every dining room will be crushed with liquid gold (Poseidon).

Maybe the twenty strand man didn't freak out and powder Chelsea's strength either.

"... love is shit..."

"Chelsea is... cute, isn't she?

Juliette was gently stroking Chelsea's head as she leaned down again emitting a negative aura.

... In the meantime, I felt I had to leave this place to Juliette.

But this really came.

Now that the relying < Golden Pirates > are gone, what should I do with the clan problem......

"... don't we have to go into the Moon Sessions?

............... Oh, my God.

To be continued
