Episode XIX: Unconfirmed Flying Fortress

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

The morning before the war.

An unfamiliar thing floated in the sky looking up from the terrace of the royal castle.

A small island and a castle on it.

It was very similar to the stuff that appeared in the Galliver Travel Book, or in the animated work on the subject.

"... is that the rapputa"

Gray Alpha Centauri, one of the < Four Spirits of the Yellow River >.

That's the castle that's now floating over the king's capital.

As we had previously heard from Xuan Yu, he came to escort Tsanron and Elizabeth.

We talked about leaving before the war, but it's critical because it's the day before.

Even when I logged in for a short time at Necafe on May 4th, I heard that my arrival was delayed due to trouble......

A pillar of light stretches from the rapture to the corners of the city… into an open square, and people and objects climb through it like elevators. It would be a guy called a tractor beam.

We will embark on a journey to the Yellow River with the people and supplies that accompany the Xunyus.

Tian followed the people of the Yellow River who followed Tsanlong and the ladies who followed Elizabeth.

Apparently < Master > recruited hopeful people from those outside the rankings who could not take part in the war.

All are contracted using a [contract], and I have little to worry about being betrayed.

Usually, < master > with a logout is not considered suitable for long term escort assignments, but this time it overlaps with the war period.

Escorts are also possible because they can be accompanied without first logging out during the three-day war.

With Xuan Yu accompanying her, we can also take advantage of her mobile savepoint, which is her belongings. It seems that Tsanrong will manage it on his behalf even when there are no Xunyu, thereby making it okay to travel after the war period.

Also, when Mr. Gray logs out, he docks at an oasis dotted in Cardina. Including that, he's got permission from Cardina.

That's why they keep getting into the rapturer.

We see that from the terrace of the royal castle to which he was invited.

That said, it is some of the members who are currently here. Me and Nemesis, only Senior Beasley.

Mr. Raleigh is usually absent.

Marie is going to meet someone who has requested an escort, and to talk to Mr. Gray that his brother knows him.

Mr. Figaro is in Gideon because he hoped for the last mock fight before Xunyu left for the Yellow River. Mr. Hannya is escorted. By now we may have settled and headed from Gideon to the King's Capital. Those three won't take long.

Xia Da is preparing to purchase items in Wangdu, etc.

And Luke... I don't know.

Xia, who was accompanying her, said she had been returned about ten days earlier in internal time.

Luke says he's in a cage somewhere by himself.

Even when I asked where that was, Xia didn't talk about it because she was being stopped.

However, they needed the Kasumi Tykyokus, so it was possible to detect that they were ahead of the move while avoiding < master >.

... it's Luke who will be a ton of demos when you take your eyes off him. Something may be wrong this time.

Either way, now we'll just have to hope you're back safe.

"Still, it's kind of a clerical load."

Huh, that's how Nemesis shrugged as he watched the Laputa tractor beam.

"We're supposed to have a ceremony, but the situation is the situation."

"... right"

He was right about the seniors watching Raputa prepare to leave next door.

The princess's entrance. If it were normal, we would have sent it out in grand.

But this country will go to war tomorrow... late this evening.

Therefore, I can't even perform the ceremony. Rather, this is because it is close to evacuation.

…………

Now Azrite and her sister Theresia are making their final farewell to Elizabeth.

Or thinking it could be a lifetime goodbye.

No one can divide it in there.

So not only are we... but Liliana and Integra are here as well.

"Did Liliana and the others travel with the Azrites after this?"

"Yes, even the facilities built in the border zone. … I am anxious."

Some of the rules set in this war are a little out of the basics.

"Designated persons do not move from designated facilities in the border zone during the war period".

In both countries, and in contact with the top of both countries, do not approach the facility more than constantly.

Do not engage in harmful behavior, including combat behavior in the facility.

not to carry out attacks on facilities, etc.

It was the King who brought these sets of rules with him.

Says it's because of the fear that 'if we set the rules for Tri-Flags to clearly determine victory or defeat, and the leaders are going to be harmed here, then the ruling could also be broken'.

It makes sense. Indeed, if the upper echelons of both countries disappear, the confusion will not subside even after the war.

It also deals with cases like [Bandit King] at the last harmonious meeting within the rules. The same goes for attacks from out of range.

Still have concerns.

"You both look worried. Well, don't worry. Fighting is forbidden, so you can't use rough tactics. Besides, if I had a [Great Sage (I)], I'd probably do something about it. At least enough to get Ultimia away."

That's what Integra said to me and Liliana, and she strained her chest.

"... just which rule. Maybe it doesn't have to be. Azrite, it's sealed, right?

[Original Holy Sword] Use to turn down all things.

Once on the battlefield, you can also defeat that [Beast King] and the personal survival type that the Empire hired.

I guess that's why you want to keep it isolated by the rules, my brother also said.

"I guess you're right. And I'm not proud of it, but I've been designated because I did a lot of things in the Kingsville raid, too. However, in exchange for that, I'd appreciate it if we could also seal that Tian warfare force over there. Especially since you know how troublesome [General None] is."

"... indeed"

Dr. Mario's Legion of Dolls, also a Secret Service soldier. In this war to destroy the flag, it would be a terrible pain in the ass if it were to be used against the enemy.

[Punch God] Even for Claudia, I hear that Azrite and I have mutual fighting power.

The rule of isolating each other's important tiens is mutually beneficial.

offset, arguably.

... I can't wipe away the anxiety of where the trap is being set because it has been so far.

'Cause I'm hitting my hands for what if. You're you. Good luck with the war. That sounds like a tough one. "

"Oh.... about Azrite, please"

"I'll take care of it."

That's what Integra said and smiled nicely.

…………

There was just one person on the side with a depressed face.

"Mr. Liliana?

"... that's okay. Me, because I'm still weak and unreliable compared to the two of us...... Mr. Ray has overtaken me on a level as well..."

Depressed...... and a bit obstinate.

Isn't this the first time Liliana's had this attitude?

That's what I think, Integra hears.

"Ah. Me and Ultimia are super positions. I guess I'm in the mood of being left alone in childhood.... I taught [Heavenly Knight] the terms of his transfer, but he couldn't complete it by the war."

Is that what you mean......

"What terms, by the way?

"You can tell me, but don't leak it elsewhere. Because Liliana looks pathetic."

"Okay."

To Integra, who whispers, nod.

If the information spreads and some < master > gets it, I'm too sorry for the boulder.

"Strong enemy destruction. [Saint Knight] Kanst. Knight lineage level 150 +. Damage inflicted in the state of use of" Sacred Another Silver Light "20 million. Damage dealt in" Grand Cross "20 million. 2 million Damage Reduced in" Protecting the Holy Knight ". Recovery magically recovers 20 million. In short, a pack of things you can do with [the Holy Knight]"

"I see..."

Maybe Sacred Another Silver Light became a necklace and couldn't get into [Heavenly Knight].

I still haven't gotten the conditions for damage or recovery either.

But if you work hard, you're likely to take it.

... Let's talk to Liliana when the conditions have been met first.

I have the idea of keeping it temporarily before someone else takes it.

"But if this is Tian, isn't the Guardian of the Holy Knight tough?

It is directly linked to a crisis in life, albeit with fewer numbers than others.

It would be dangerous to take heavy damage at once, so you would need to be bombarded thousands or tens of thousands of times in detail.

"Yeah. And Liliana is also a necklace for destroying powerful enemies, isn't she? That's the top pure dragon class...... [Dragon King], and then you have to be active enough to MVP the super job opponent"

One of the [Holy Knight's] transition conditions was' Shred and defeat subdragon-class HP by more than 50% ', but it would mean an upgraded version of that condition.

... I knew if I died, I'd be tough on Tian at the end?

"Even if I support you, I can't see the right person inside. If you're dealing with someone like UBM, even if you work out a plan, they can kill you. Bad aftertaste, huh?

"Right..."

I feel sorry for the bad aftertaste if that happens to my best friend on his own terms.

"It's Integra, by the way. I'd like to ask you one thing."

"... what?

"Don't you know the terms of the super position where [the dead soldier] is involved? Now I'm exploring the terms..."

"Hmm?

To Nemesis's question, Integra thinks.

"They also involve [the Holy Knight] and the Spellmaster lineage"

"[Dead Soldier]...... hmm. [Holy Knight]...... hmm. …………

After roaring in arms, he meditated and became silent.

Seems to think a lot deeper.

"... I can't say for sure that that information is all I have, sorry"

That's what Integra said and apologized for when she opened her eyes again.

"Right..."

Well, you said the axe seems to be a pretty complicated condition, too.

Specific conditions among composite system super positions, or something.

"Well, I'll do a little research."

"Oh, please"

"Whatever. Because that's not how you get an unconditional super job. Shall I offer you something more understandable?"

Something easy to understand?

"[Brilliant Jade Ride], I've just been banned in the morning."

"............... are you serious"

At this time the day before the war...?

You don't have time to level up when you change jobs, do you?

"Travelling to Kalceratan is also dangerous at this time, and it's easier to avoid it"

"... right"

While on the move, the Empire's < Master > attacked me and I'm not stylish about Despena or anything.

... [Dark Knight] even if replaced with [Dark Knight], will it be after the war?

The lifting of Silver's third skill is also in your custody until then.

"... I wish they had lifted the ban before the level-up tour"

"Well, there are many things in life that are different from what you want."

That's what Integra said, slapping her shoulder to comfort her.

The voice seemed to hold some sense of reality.

◇ ◇ ◇

□ [Unconfirmed Flying Fortress Laputa]

Flying fortress over Wang Du, Raputa.

In the command room of the fortress, there were two figures.

No, it may not look like two (...) people.

Because... they were both wearing worn guns.

"So, why the belated bear?

"Todo was bypassing to avoid the battle of Cardina. I didn't think there'd be a fight on that scale, Todo. '

Todo's Dress Answers the Bear's Dress Question.

The bear, without mention, [Destroyer King] Shu Sterling.

And Todo is… [Commander-in-Chief] Gray Alpha Centauri.

"The conflict between Cardina and Gran Barroa in the example?

'No. Then I guess it was derived... Todo'

'What? Then what were you fighting for, Bear?

In response to Shu's query, Gray manipulates and responds to Raputa's terminal.

Several pictures are shown on the command room screen.

"On the one hand, Cardina's [god of earth]." The most powerful magic you know, Todo. "

"I guess."

The photographs show giant sandstorms and the rise of the desert itself, as well as giant golems that are confused with the mountains.

Once Shu was also relative, it is a number of local attribute magic exercised by stopping by the substandard magic of Fatum.

But now in this picture, Shu paid more attention to... the sky (...).

Thunderlight covering heaven.

Blowing storm.

And the sunlight pouring out of the unnatural slices of clouds - the scorching heat that burns the ground.

Alternatively, the sky was causing an anomaly by hanging a ring on the manipulated earth of [the god of the earth].

"Todo, who in Cardina fought such a massive battle with [the god of earth]"

"... that's no way"

To the phenomenon of photography... Shu had an idea of the existence that could trigger it.

In a sense, the name of that person, who should also be referred to as his fellow Fatum….

"- [Tenjin (Dj Atmos)]"

To affirm that presumption, Gray mentioned one name.

"A living witness 600 years ago. The culmination of the Three Gods that sealed the [King of Champions] of Ka. Legendary demon who continued to drill magic after the Great Tribulation through the long-lived life of the species...... Todo '

…………

Before Fatum was once called “Magic Most Powerful," it was the [Great Sage] of his predecessors who called him “Magic Most Powerful” in Tian.

Even before that, there would have been many magic jobs that gave them the same two names.

However, the names of the assailants… may have been obtained as a result of the demon's disconnection from the world.

Not so much, it's out of standard.

[Heavenly God] of “Sealed by the King"... Snusumulik is.

"... Unexpected Big Name Bear"

"Magic... Heavenly Attributes In the treatment of magic, there is no one beyond [Heavenly God] Todo. The battle between such things and [the god of the earth], that there is no choice but to change the route Todo '

'I don't think I'm wrong about judging you, bear. So, which one won the bear?

'... if I had checked the results, I might have crashed again Todo'

"Maybe......"

Once upon a time, in the northern part of the continent, this Raputa has crashed.

He knew with his own hands that clashes of mighty power sometimes caused such things.

(... but why did those two fight again?

The strongest [gods of heaven] and [gods of earth] in history.

The most powerful decisive battle in the magic world.

Just looking at the pictures from a distance, it's obvious that it's a fierce crushing between wide-area extermination types.

Subsequent passage is also at stake, as residual magic alone will be frequent.

I'd say Gray's decision to reroute was the right one.

"That's the biggest reason I'm late, Todo"

'Hmm? Is there anything else?

"... you're confidential, Todo."

To Gray's words, Shu guessed, "Is the upper layer of the Yellow River entangled?"

This time, Gray should have picked him up because of the First Prince's intentions, but maybe there was a cross spear coming in there.

Other princes and princesses...... or by more superior beings.

You can't tell me who belongs to the kingdom

I didn't even think to ask Shu because I know that this wearing alien is quite an impersonal character.

Also, that's something else that bothers me.

"By the way, I was wondering when I'd be stuck."

"How many todos?

Ask Shu's question as Gray tilts Todo's neck.

'What's the end of that phrase? You didn't sound like that when we met before, did you?

'... if you wear a clothing guru, isn't it manners to end the story with an animal name?

Asking Gray back very seriously, Shu sighed, 'Maybe it wasn't my influence...'

◇ ◇ ◇

□ Wangdu/boarding waiting area

In the corner of the Wang capital were waiting for those who would be boarding the Raputa today.

in a designated square, which is pulled up to the rapture in turn.

It is also like waiting for the order of the attractions.

Some of the < master > of the escort said, "There really was a Raputa!" or "Balus!" and others who were playing with the monomane of certain animated works were also scattered.

Many of the masters here this time are the ones who have flashed out of the rankings.

But not more helpless than being a master.

The Elizabeth Fan Club, who left the AETL Coalition, would represent it.

Also, a party led by Grimes, who won one of the tournaments, was part of this escort to the Yellow River.

However, in this escort from the kingdom...... there was only one super position.

"Are you sure?

Marie asks the person standing beside her as she drops off boarding and loading into the Raputa.

"I don't mind. That's what I hoped for myself."

It was the old man dressed as the conductor who answered her question.

His name is [King of Music] Berdolbel.

Once defeated relative to Marie in Gideon's case, he is the former Imperial < master > of Ray's friendship in Calcheratan.

"Besides, I once annoyed her... Princess Elizabeth."

"Well, that's right"

The case of Gideon, where Elizabeth was abducted by Franklin. At that time, it was Berdolbel who joined the battle as a force on Franklin's side and defeated many.

Although Marie was the only one in the kingdom who knew who he was because it was an accidental and sonic killing.

"... I mean, you've been asking me to do this for a long time."

"Oh, from the Countess Calcellatan."

Berdolbel caught the Countess's eye in the carcellatan.

Since then, he has been entrusted with performing at tea parties, in addition to performing activities for orphanage children and people engaged in reconstruction.

And even at the time of this admission, the Countess had asked me to "If I may…".

It was the case of the Karchelatan, and the character who fought to protect the children was appreciated.

"If our performance is any consolation to the girl who leaves her hometown, it will mean something."

"It sounds good."

"... whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Berdolbel laughed small as he described the backdrop of the battle he had once fought.

"But you want to see the moment a hero stands, don't you? Isn't war the best time?

"Maybe. But I was once in the Empire, too. I was not dissatisfied with the treatment and interaction in the clan, and some of my good creative colleagues. Regardless of his engagement with [the Demon General] at Kalceratan, he can also wave a major player to participate in the war on the Kingdom's side. It's called trespassing."

"Is that what it is?"

"Is that not the case in the publishing industry?

Marie was thrilled by the words Belledor Bell casually unleashed.

"............... when did you notice?

"It's a bullet of special skill. After that, I found your book translated in a real bookstore. The brush was the same, so I immediately noticed."

Marie said, '... this grandfather, not just his ears, but his eyes?' And I was heartily surprised.

"Sooner or later, when you animate, call me. If my life isn't running out, I'll be in charge of the composition. If you wish."

"... can you. I don't have a serial right now."

"There 'll be plenty of time for you to walk out again."

"Is that what it is?

"It's like that."

That's how they stop the words and look up at the sky.

Eventually, the order came for Berdolbel to board.

"... I'll take my place."

"Regardless."

Thus, Marie dropped me off...... Berdolbel joined the journey to the Yellow River.

To be continued
