＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Eltrame]

When the battle between Eldridge and Emily began, Niara was on the palm of a white < Maggie > towards the power block.

I wanted to see Eldridge fight if I meant it, but she chose to help him in a different role than to be a foot wrapper.

Breaking down the Orthodox government of the power block with Hugo is her role now.

"… so my hand tag is as I have just said"

We checked each other's bills on the road because we were going to form an impromptu collaboration. Information on Niara's sniping abilities and six mechanical birds, Hugo's Hell Gate and Purgatory Flash, and fuselage specs are shared.

If you try Niara, Hellgate is an irregular skill, and if paired with the durable [White Rose], it doesn't seem to have any enemies.

But I knew in a conversation with Eldridge on the commercial block that it wasn't.

"What if the enemy power of the Power Block has disabled Hell Gate just like the power of the Mall?

'... the principle, I've already roughly guessed. That must be...'

Regarding the reasons why it didn't go through, Hugo has been tipped in a conversation with Eldridge and has since given himself some answers to think about it.

Therefore, some consideration was also being given to how to deal with it.

Hugo tells Niara his own assumptions and what to do with them.

"If you can bring it into this shape, you can activate Hellgate.... if the disabling is for the reason just stated, '

"The former is fine. But the latter... I was wondering if it would be difficult to use because of the cost."

The two will continue to consult and assemble their plans for a battle in the power block.

Niara shows difficulty in Hugo's plan, and Hugo makes a suggestion to make up for it.

Repeat that for a couple of minutes...... eventually Niara nodded too.

"... I see, is it a three-step arrangement? It may be a little different from, say, the 'three arrows' … in the eastern idiom, but it seems valid"

It should be noted that "Three Arrows" is an anecdote of the Maori family's letter of lesson and not a proverb (idiom).

'karma', then, the idioms of the East, as Niara calls them, are occasionally mixed with something that is not proverbial.

"All in all, it's a pretty unscrupulous tactic, but if we get that far... On the contrary, do you think you have someone you need to do that with?

'... you may be here'

Hugo remembers Faye's words, which have already become a death penalty.

- Earlier, Kim Pi, Big and Strong seemed to be running!

If that's what you think it is, Hugo thought it wasn't enough to be as vigilant.

■ [Eltrame] - Power block

"Engine Suspension Process, Complete"

"It takes more to remove from the hull than this."

Orthodox government soldiers equipped with armoured type are working in front of the power reactor mounted on the [Eltram].

There was also the appearance of a golden fuselage with great lance… [Imperial Glory] and two [Marshall II] aircraft, as if to oversee the work. [Imperial Glory] holds Lance with a subarm that extends from his right hand and shoulder.

"Hurry up. Apparently, the situation is moving towards something we don't want."

Curtis said so quietly in the cockpit of [Imperial Glory], but in a hurry.

In fact, things are getting worse, as he says.

Sudden emergency heard from the comms. No one answers the query as to why, and even the person in charge of the special hall, which was an important point of occupation, has no voice communication.

In Todome, the host plane, which was responsible for bypassing their secret communications and disrupting other communications, has fallen.

It is certain that there are hostile forces. Not far away, when I get my hands around this power block too...... Curtis is also noticing.

'Major General Erdona, it will take enough to remove. Shouldn't this place be... retreating?

Such communications arrive from one of the two [Marshall II] planes brought in as bureaucratic aircraft.

I guess Curtis realizes as well and fears that the power of the special hall and the enemy power that crushed the host aircraft could push him here.

Retreating to contain any further damage is not a tactical mistake.

But......

"It's a stupid question. You should never make the same statement again."

With that word - the golden fuselage stuck the lance in its hand to the cockpit of the bureaucratic plane.

"Hih, hi......!?

The bureaucratic pilot screams.

Next to the ten centimetres of his head...... because he had Lance's tip.

That's not just because of the threat, I stabbed him without hitting the pilot......

His [Marshall II] has not damaged anything but a hole in his chest armor.

No damage propagates to other areas with Lance's contact impact, just a few holes and a tip in the space directly next to the pilot...... such super precision maneuvering.

Curtis [the superpilot] had all the skill he could have.

"Withdrawal is impossible"

Withdrawal is not a tactical mistake, but it is not possible for Curtis to be strategic.

If we don't hold down the power reactor here, they won't get anything from this raid... on the contrary, they'll just have lost the bulk of their power.

Then the eyes of the recurrence disappeared as well.

At least, it would be a long way off on a ten-year basis.

Curtis cannot tolerate that.

For as little as ten years, we will free the Empire from Reinhardt... because the day of saving Claudia will be the first to come.

"Securing power reactors and weapon development are also imperative to replenish lost battle power. If you can't, then neither the Dreiffe Orthodox Government nor your lives will end here today. Do you understand?

Slowly pulling through Lance's tip, he asks quietly, threatening.

There is only one answer to that.

"Sa, sir, yes!

"Great. Stay alert... that's quick"

The sensor eye that fits in the dragon head moves visibly and eventually focuses on the door leading to the other blocks.

Sensor eyes were capturing signs of approaching from beyond that door.

"This size, magic usage pattern... enemies too"

Shortly after Curtis' words, he broke through the door - a pure white < Maggie > appeared wrapped in ice armor.

- The Hell Gate!

Realizing that the word heard shortly afterwards is a declaration of skill use, the Dragonhead deploys an energy shield on both arms.

However, there was no impact from the skill attack… instead I heard screams from bureaucratic pilots and those who were in the process of removing them.

The footage captured by the camera on the back shows more than half of the body frozen and frightened in armor.

(Extensive cooling skills? However, there is no significant change in the surface temperature of [Glory]. And the bureaucratic plane...... is one safe?)

The only one screaming is a fuselage with a hole in chest armor at Lance earlier.

"F, n?

Curtis leaks a voice of doubt.

At the same time, however, operate the panel next to the joystick and activate the optional equipment of the fuselage.

Immediately afterwards, [Imperial Glory] 's Sensor Eye… Connected anecdotal reward weapon [Staring Triple Eye Dragsite] switches visual mode to observe ambient changes.

Then he realized that some energy was being released around the enemy aircraft.

Conversely, thermal energy continues to move from [frozen] to enemy aircraft.

(That fuselage, it exudes a strange field of power? Close to the previously crusaded [Coke Dragon King] 's limited versus biological burning skills. Is that what caused the freeze)

If you look at the screaming bureaucratic plane, its odd force field is pouring from an empty hole in chest armor into the interior.

But [Imperial Glory] against a single bureaucratic plane, the force field just flows through the armored surface and doesn't penetrate inside.

(The difference is... airtightness (...))

◇

"Huh...!

In the cockpit of [White Rose], Hugo tongues at the expected development.

(I knew it wouldn't freeze...!

Hugo could also guess at Eldridge's tips on why Hellgate didn't work in the fight at the mall.

That means that airtightness will have something to do with it.

Infantry outside the fuselage did not freeze, but pilots inside the fuselage.

Even for that pilot, it froze as soon as the armor was damaged.

This means that the air... needs to be exposed to the influenced air of Hell Gate to be exact.

I can imagine the reason for that, even for Hugo.

Not only does Cuco's Hell Gate freeze the subject, but it also accumulates thermal energy in Cuco itself during freezing.

That is also to be used in Purgatory Flash, the second skill, which is why… thermal energy needs to be moved.

And Cuco can't do the art of transcending space and absorbing thermal energy.

Because she is not a territory that transforms the laws of space.

Instead of interfering with the space itself, Cuco uses the air between itself and its opponents as a catalyst (...) for the movement of thermal energy.

Therefore, the person completely cut off from the outside air - has not received the skill.

You can also take away Bishmall's heat, which has been turned into a mass of flames, as long as it touches the air, but you can't suck away a single human without touching it.

(How could you not notice this weakness before...... ok)

Hugo has carried out several verifications under Franklin since he was in the Triangle of Wisdom regarding the Hell Gate.

Naturally, some of the verifications were also used against the person on [Marshall II].

At that time, the internal pilot was also frozen, so Hugo and Franklin decided that the Hell Gate was also valid for Maggie.

But right now, it doesn't fit into an authentic government airframe.

The reason for this is......

"... I guess that means we weren't completely airtight"

What I recall is the day Hugo left the clan.

- Surface and surface machines for tests sunk at the bottom of the experimental pool.

That sight that was sinking, flooding inside the cockpit and making noise that it was a failure.

- There is no way that airtightness, which was not even perfect for both surface and surface aircraft, is secured by land warplanes.

It is a group of people, there are many technicians in real life, and we have a proven track record of developing a man-made robot.

But on the contrary, he was originally an amateur when it came to Magingear.

In contrast, the Orthodox government… The First Armored Battalion is a more armored and tank-type professional. The magic mechanical technology stored is that of the elite and veterans, and if they try to increase the airtightness for desert specifications, it will be perfect without some leaks.

In the first place, the very fact that we are even getting our hands on the airtightness of the cockpit as well as the hover on the leg for desert specifications is proof left that the original airtightness was inferior.

Regardless of his imagination, in his technical skills, the Orthodox Government had a length of less than a day.

(That golden fuselage...... I remember seeing it in the dossier photo. That's the special machine my sister said before...... But if you look where it's still working, the airtightness is also refurbished...)

There's no sign of freezing on the other two planes, except for one that had a hole in the cockpit for some reason.

But......

"What are you going to do, Hugo?

"As per the advance meeting......!

Unlike the mall, the case of not getting through to the opponent was already within the assumption.

Shortly afterwards - there was a hole in [Marshall II] 's chest armor that was safe.

"- Hit"

The [White Rose] acoustic sensor captures the slightest voice heard from the rear.

The Lord of the Voice was... Niara, who laid to sleep with a great rifle.

What she has is a magical (...) sniper gun.

Unlike gunpowder firearms whose power does not fluctuate no matter who uses them, magical firearms whose power fluctuates depending on the magic infused and the skill level of the user.

Therefore, if you charge the MP and fire along with your skills, you can also shoot through the subdragon crust... Armor of the subdragon.

I should have been meeting with Niara before this went into the power block.

If the opponent in the cockpit didn't freeze, break his armor and freeze it, just like the battle at the mall.

Niara also waited in a sniper position before [White Rose] entered.

'Gi,..................!

The pilot of [Marshall II], who was shot through by Niara, tried to scream at the pain of the bullet. But earlier than that, his whole body [froze] in the second judgment of Hellgate. I guess there were more fellow crusaders than the other pilot.

At the same time, the others who were frozen (...) freeze completely.

As such, there is silence in the power block.

The power furnace stops, with two airplanes with multiple ice statues and nothing to say.

The pure white fuselage that did it and the niara that keeps putting sniper guns outside the power block.

And I didn't move...... the golden fuselage I was turning to see.

Curtis himself, however, did not move while capturing the total annihilation of the distribution with multiple sensors of vision and energy.

"Well... I doubt it"

Let's repeat.

I didn't fail to move.

I didn't move (...).

'If you didn't set me up with your first hand, just the two of you (...)?

……

Curtis's question is thrown.

At the same time, Niara's next bullet hits [Imperial Glory] 's chest armor directly.

But with the light metal noise... the bullet was bounced and bounced the day after tomorrow.

"This [frozen], I presume, is conditional on reduced airtightness due to cockpit breakage? The first sniper didn't target [Glory] because the armor strength was unknown. Therefore, the first bullet, which has a high probability of being hit, was aimed at [Marshall II], which definitely exits the chest armor. I chose to reduce the number of enemies first. '

Curtis went on to say the words, as if he had stated Niara's thoughts as they stood.

'If you have a second sniper, or a different kind of attacker, you won't miss the opportunity for an ambush. I should have set it up at the same time. That's why... the only hostile thing here right now is you and the sniper behind you with the ability to freeze'

Curtis was extremely calm, discerning the power of Hugo and his men.

'Well, shall I state my doubts? Why didn't you set me up at the time of the ambush?

…………

To inquire, Hugo is silent.

But even in silence... Curtis speaks of the answer.

'The answer comes from what you knew (...). Because the moment I broke through the door and saw what this [Glory] looked like, I realized what this was going to be like. I mean, you know [Glory]... you're an imperial person'

"... ugh!

Hugo was poked at the core.

Yes, Hugo knew the catalog specs for [Imperial Glory].

I knew it was the most powerful aircraft, created by the combined forces.

That's why when I knew it at a glance... I couldn't launch the ambush I had planned.

"In addition, he is an associate of the Triangle of Wisdom. You can tell by looking at the fuselage. The development of the prototype, which is also not in the mass production phase. I see habits in the fuselage structure. It's their job to add that the part meshing is also sweet '

Right in front of me, I was told, "The work of the Triangle of Wisdom is cluttered," and Hugo was hauntingly irritated, but I couldn't move.

If we move, when things get worse at that moment... I can feel it.

"But its strength, mythical metal? When we make this [glory], we say, 'Mythical metals are not suitable for manoeuvre weapons because of their weight and processing difficulty. Above all, we can't secure the ingredients.' And this is what we do when we build our own fuselage?

That's what Curtis said, even though he didn't come into contact with the fuselage or attack it.

It's as if you can tell the specs of the fuselage just by looking at it.

- Actually, you know what I mean.

'No, its fuselage colour... white, not scarlet colour of hihihi-irokane. Alloy with mical ore?... Both mineral deposits within the Empire are on the Barbaros periphery. You know what,... you Reinhardt'

And as I remained to myself, I got to the answer myself...... Curtis pounded his tongue.

"[Glory] I didn't give it away at the time of production, so... At the time of [Glory] 's production, did you also assume that you would be hostile to me... and take the throne of the King? That outer road...... '

Curtis has a grudge against someone who's not in front of him.

The appearance looked full of gaps.

"Hugo, if you want to... now. If it's his count, he's hung up."

…………

Hugo nods quietly at Cuco's readings, which are passed on only to himself.

You don't have to destroy it.

Break the opponent's airtightness and you can win with it.

Only slightly, just distort the armor.

And Hugo drove [White Rose] to the golden fuselage,

"- Yeah, at this rate, you were right not to ambush."

- In an instant, they were stopping me from moving.

The movement of [White Rose] has been crushed, pierced through the right elbow and stopped by a lance that reached the floor.

……

It's not fast.

Like the [Blue Opera] in AR · I · CA, I didn't pack the distance with supersonic manoeuvres.

However, the movement was too optimal.

Like a master of martial arts...... very naturally plugging Lance into [White Rose].

But it's not the living who do it, it's the human... robot.

It is not a phenomenon that can be explained by the word skillful manipulation techniques, etc.

In the first place......

"Why, on [Rose's] armor...!

Built of mythical alloys, this airframe has the hardest defense of all.

Why is it so easy and pierced by the other Lance?

"This Lance is my perk weapon. [Needle crash death dragstinger]. You can control the diameter of the tip to 0.1 millimeters, but it won't break. A user-friendly spear. '

Curtis was in the palm of his hand lightly...... he revealed information on the perks martial arts he once gained by crusading [Needle Dragon King]. He is an associate of the [Imperial Glory] and also because he decided he had information about Curtis.

But that information is not the answer.

Just changing the diameter of the tip is far from the answer to why you are able to penetrate the armor.

You conveyed the signs of that doubt... Curtis sighs.

'So I said the part meshing is sweet'

Curtis repeats the foreword,

"-Isn 't there (...) a gap of 0.2mm in the elbow joint"

- He said he pierced a hole smaller than the hole in the needle... I told him before.

◆

For those who painted the current picture, Curtis Erdona is a dogma.

But if it's just a clown, it won't even be a pawn.

The most powerful men in the former empire.

Claudia Reinhardt Drife, a high-end.

Gifted Barbaros with mythical privileged weapons.

Mordo Macine, head of the Secret Service Corps.

And he, too, was recognised equal to those broken tians.

Numerous earth dragons descending from the Harsh Winter Mountains bordering the Empire, and a man who kept hunting [the Dragon King].

- Curtis Erdona of Dragon King Killer, the most powerful pilot on the continent.
