＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

■ Vanderheim, Imperial Capital

In the corner of the Imperial capital, the heart of the Dreiffe Empire, there is a liquor store with a large area of grounds.

This is a rare place in the Empire.

Speaking of what's unusual...... it's still open (...).

The progression of hunger on a country-by-country basis has resulted in much of the food being distributed, and the price of over-the-counter food has followed a steep path.

Therefore, it is not uncommon in the empire today for customers to dwindle and restaurants not to be able to maintain their management… without being able to purchase ingredients in the first place.

Still, with the help of repeaters, including Master, this store is still going on.

For this reason, it was also used for occasional < Master > meetings.

"Guys, you got together a lot today"

[Magic Cannon King] Herdine Rockzapper, the owner of the Imperial Clan Rankings # 2 and < FullMetalWolves >, said so in the face of the gathering.

He looks around at those on the table with a clear drink in his hands… a glass of hungry, distracting water that is prevalent in the Empire.

There were more than ten people in the store, and the outfit was without any shards of unity... but they had one thing in common.

All of them are... well known in the Empire.

"Today, as I told you earlier in my e-mail, I will explain the rules of the next war that Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia has taught me. The official announcement comes first, but you may speak to me, who is my acquaintance and the corner of my power."

"Major power... isn't that us?"

"< Super > has a high formula for crushing each other. If so, it is our quasi-class power that determines the battle."

Now gathered in this shop, all are super positions in the Empire.

In Infinite Dendrogram, they are quasi-strong fierce men who are second only to super.

Additionally, the so-called worlds and those close to them in thought are gathered together.

"The biggest difference in power between the empire and the kingdom is between us, super positions. The kingdom's superiority decreased and the empire increased. And I've heard the same thing about the“ tournament "that I couldn't replenish, except for the" King of extermination ", which is super."

The kingdom assumed a development into war and held a "tournament” to bridge the war power gap.

But much of Cardina's intervention plundered from the side, and Alberto, who was placed instead, is also known for his weakness in the duel with Figaro.

Therefore, the kingdom's power of war was still at a tough stage.

"... right. Let's talk about it before the rules."

Herdine takes a bunch of paper together from the item box for a number of people and begins to give it to the assembled face.

He was a mammoth man.

It should be noted that his maiden, Fenrill, does not particularly help and eats thinly chopped salami at a remote table. Other people's biotypes are similar.

"This is the list of quasi in the rankings. Information was bought and created from. There may be an update, but consider everyone on here to be in the next war. It also says as much build as it turns out to be a job, combat style. I want you to remember your face too."

"Mr. Hell, wasn't this expensive?

"It's a necessary investment. It would be cheaper than the survival of the country."

The purchase of this information was not expensed by the State, but was purchased voluntarily by Herdyne.

But he didn't spare it.

"Those who stand out in the battle system are the [Drawer God], [Cat God], [Fallen Heavenly Knight], [Fu Princess], and [Dark Princess] of the duel rankers. Crusade Rankers' [Dunhuo], [Storm King], [Assassin King], [General Fei]. Ranker Clan [Ice King] of Wiki Codification Department and Alter Kingdom Branch, [Sickle King] of AETL Union. And I couldn't buy the information, but there are rumors that Ka belongs to the kingdom now. Twelve together."

"That's quite enough for the decrease."

"All of them are menacing fierces, but the Empire has more than twice as many combat super positions. This is where winning and losing can be a factor."

The Imperial Quasi are roughly half of those gathered here today, almost the same number apart.

It is a group of playwrights who do not go against a group of herdines with many worldly and near-worldly playwrights, but whose strength is certain.

There it is, and those who are putting it together… The owner of the third clan should be giving an explanation.

"Also, as an advantage over the number of people, this one has fewer duel rankers and suppressed information exposure. I checked with the < DIN > just in case, but it didn't contain as much information as the Kingdom."

Some super positions assembled on this occasion have rankers, but few duel rankers have much exposure to the public.

Speaking of why, the imperial duel was until not long ago a mythical class summons show for [General Demon], and those who fight were only defeated. If it wasn't fun, it wasn't popular with the audience, and even if it didn't win, it didn't have much benefit.

That was coming here and it was turning into a benefit.

"I see..."

Each of the superiors of the Empire looked at the material.

At the same time, I will see who seems to be compatible with me.

But unexpectedly, one frowned.

"Hey, forget one, Herdine."

"[Robbery King]? But I hear he was wanted and left the kingdom. The [Sword King] of < Babylonian Combat Regiment > has also retired for a long time, and now the proxy..."

"Chicken. Nozoki bastard."

Hearing the job name, several of us gathered looked bitter.

[Light King]. He stretched out his legs to the Empire and made fun of him.

No one knew his name and no one saw his face directly in this, but some of them dealt with light attribute magic, which is also synonymous, and its < embrio >.

"... he's got cases all over the kingdom, too. Aren't you going to join the war?

"The other way around. Though I guess that shit is caught at the end of the crusade ranks for watching the game. Definitely a peek from somewhere. Besides, we'll get a lot of numbers to make it last."

Interrupt.

The words seemed to say that [the King of Light] could easily defeat himself, who was supposed to be a super position of his own.

Several, including him, feared [the King of Light].

[King of Light] ranked thirtieth in the Crusade Rankings.

But that's just sitting there daring...... only the relative knows he's the kingdom's biggest ranking con man.

That's more than the extreme of role-play, which is ranked 13th in all rankings, and the difference is huge.

"Um, I heard rumors that [Battousai] defeated that chrono..."

The words cloud more faces.

However, it is not the name of the [Drawer God (Cashmere)], but the name of the [Ra God] Krono.

PK, Chrono hunting for the sixth form. Many of the people who feed on it are here in quasi.

"Did you beat me? Seriously?"

"To [Battousai], who broke Chrono's super acceleration, light speed fucking gay shooting [Light King]? AGI type just loses when it hits you."

"... sucks, they're gonna drop more than one of us"

Needless to say, they are skilled, so they were familiar with AGI and END, except for the particularities of Embrio, which dictate victory and defeat.

[Battousai] is the fastest truncating platform in the kingdom that broke the fastest of the empires.

[Light King] is the petitioner of a laser that does not do AGI, and is instantly inescapable without resistance gear to light attributes.

Neither of them can beat an AGI type below the same size unless they are more compatible.

The Imperial Quasi-Supervisors were also aware of the vice of the two when they turned to their enemies.

"... I'm fine. Numerous advantages exist on this side, but the next war is not a total win between the two armies. There is room to choose the battlefield with the right opponent"

"Is that the rule you were saying?"

"Oh."

When Herdyne raises her right arm sassy, Fenrill, who was eating until then, starts moving acne as soon as possible, pulling store curtains, lighting down and darkening the room.

At the same time, Herdyne took a magic item like a projector out of the item box and began projecting it onto the white wall of the store.

"What's this?

"I've been making video VTR in clans to explain the rules"

"............... you're a real mama"

There were things that were just doing second place in the clan after that.

Eventually, when the footage starts to flow, Herdyne starts explaining along with it.

It's like... no, I'm sure he was rehearsing. The timing is perfect.

"< Tri Flags >. That's the format of the next war."

"Flag?"

The video shows three flags so as to answer the voices of the questions that have been leaked.

But it's all different shapes.

"This rule, as its name suggests, is a victory condition for destroying three flags on the other side."

The first flag is much larger than the human being to be compared, and higher than a two-story building.

"< fort > is a large installed flag. It is designed sturdy to withstand a certain number of attacks, but if installed, it will not be able to move from its coordinates. Both armies choose and install somewhere within a set war area"

The second flag was about the size of an adult male.

"< treasure > is a small, portable flag. Smaller than humans, but can't behave in an item box. This one can be destroyed in one blow if it has the power to attack."

And the last flag was... the human silhouette as it was.

"And. This selects a specific. If that < master > becomes a death penalty, it will be seen as flag destruction"

In Herdyne's explanation, the superiors leak the words "Hmm" or "ho".

"But what if I log out?

"It doesn't treat you like a sabotage. However, if the other two flags are logged out at the time they are destroyed, they will be seen as the disappearance of all flags and defeated. The same is true if you get out of the area. Well, you're on the same terms."

"I see. There's a risk even if you stay."

"How long is the time limit for war -......? And what about winning and losing when you timed up...?

"The time limit and start time, plus the war area, are to be determined at the moment. It will be decided by bilateral consultation. But when it comes to time-ups, the more flagged side that stays wins."

Although no decision has yet been made, Herdyne has made a prediction about the area.

Perhaps it will be old Lunnings territory.

It has been turned into a deserted wilderness by the onslaught of [Gloria], and you don't have to worry about involving Tian to wage war.

"What happens if you have the same number?

"It will be the slowest destroyed Flag Side victory"

"If that's exactly the same time -...?

"... I don't think so, but staying alive is a priority. If both are destroyed or are left... it will be a duel for each delegate. That's the basic rule."

"Is it basic -...?

"Here, the Kingdom side adds the rules. Well, naturally. The basic bones were set up by the imperial side and fair… the rules themselves were made fair regardless of the participating face. But it would also be unfair if the Kingdom side could not be involved in rulemaking. So the kingdom also adds rules to the extent that one side is not advantageous"

"Ho..."

"It makes sense. In this step from one to ten,"

I listen so much and start exchanging opinions with each other besides those who ask questions.

"Three Flags of Different Nature...... Hmm"

"If you say it in terms of protection, < fort > is a defensive battle. Is that a getaway fight?

"I see. At least as far as the Fort is concerned, will you take advantage of the number of empires?... unless attacked by the exterminating [Destroyer]."

"... I can only expect that from Mr. [Beast King] or Mr. Murdoch. Or Mr. Hell's gonna hit the bridge."

"Defense, or there will be escorts. It's a steeple."

"But with more escorts, there's a risk that we'll find out where we are."

"Or a hand that lets you grab the bluff based on that too. For example, if you escort an armored vehicle to this position, I suspect that there is an escort inside. Behind or behind."

"How about lurking your counter-type holdings inside an armored vehicle to respond to an ambush attack?

"You had one in our clan. Let me work it out a little."

"... you can bury it in the dirt without escort, or hide it."

"No, to the boulder. Is that... an ant?

"It is not a simple bump, it is also an informational battle of readings.... maybe careless, but funny. I want to do it when the survival of the country is not at stake."

"I know -..."

A gathering of veterans super positions.

And most of us, worlds and worlds alike, originally set foot in this < Infinite Dendrogram > as a game.

That's why we were immediately having a discussion about possible tactics on the rules and starting to simulate the coming < Tri Flags >.

At that stage, let's say Herdyne's prospects were successful.

"Anyway, who's going to be?

"Eighty-nine, the Empire's Splendida will be chosen"

To the natural doubts that emerged during the debate, Herdine set out her own expectations.

"Splendida and Igoronak. It is believed that this is why we recruited a personally viable super."

"... you mean that"

Flag of < life > seen as destruction by Despena.

If so, it is a sine qua non condition to place the personal survival type in.

At the stage of devising this rule, the presence of Splendida, who once tormented himself, may have been in Claudia.

His immortal presence may be the only thing unfair in this fair war game.

"I was lost either of them, but probably Splendida"

"But didn't you say you had a weakness or something?

"Oh. Not just him, but the personal survival type has some secret in its immortal gimmick. Splendida is also predictable."

Herdine nodded at the pointing... slapping the shoulder of the woman sitting next to her.

"But if you work with her, your weaknesses disappear, too"

"Is it me...?

Woman slapped on the shoulder. I was asking Herdyne the most questions... some prolonged speaking woman pointed to herself.

"Exactly, Juba. If I'm right, a kind of combo will be established between you and him. In addition, you should be vigilant… [The Pope] can also be a counter to the moon and moon"

"Really? -... Bye... Good luck..."

It remained slightly air-covered, but Juba nodded at Herdine's words.

That's how when the info is well known and the debate goes through a paragraph, Herdine hits her hand and grabs her attention.

"The next battle is between the enemy's strength and what's hanging."

Everyone is silently turning their gaze to Herdyne.

"The kingdom is not what it used to be. That [Gloria]...... [Four Forbidden Artillery Bullets] withstood and defeated even the most powerful demonic dragon that wiped out the Second Mobile Battalion < Three Giants >. Plus [Mad King] and [Destroyed King]."

It's very different from the last time there wasn't even one.

Even if Tian's power is diminishing, it's definitely the strongest kingdom of all time.

"And this one < super > is also struggling a lot with them in previous outposts. [The Beast King] is a substantial draw at the harmonious meeting. Franklin and the Legion of Monsters have told [the Destroyer King] that Logan has been defeated by [the Pope] or Ray Sterling of“ Unyielding ”...... [the Destroyer King] 's brother"

Distinction is what they clearly recognize as superficial.

To the fact that all of them are in pain even at their best and many are defeated...... nervousness runs.

"Even [the Beast King], who said clearly and gave all his strength, is the one who threatens to lose"

Even then, it was only part of the opponent's power.

Because it was not the last war, the kingdom from the Empire is also like an ambush demon with no idea of its total power.

"That's not why we have to do our job."

To Herdyne's words, we all nod together.

Whatever their opponent is, their quest to fulfill remains the same.

War and victory, that is the only path left before their… empire.

"For those to protect... victory over the Empire!

"" "Victory over the Empire!

Along with their intention to hang on to the war, they raise their cups.

All the contents of the cup they have are water.

Same as what the people of the Empire are drinking... it was just water with flavor.

as to show their will, that they are with the people of the Empire.

To be continued
