<Infinite Dendrogram>

Episode 83: Open Combat

□■Nearby airspace

From the moment Cadence ordered him to intercept, the crude structure above the clouds transformed its appearance.

From the facility, you'll be dressed in cold weather. The masters will jump out one after the other, ride on their own Embrio, and start preparing to deploy.

In turn, [Barrier Magician (Wall Mancer)] and [Barrier Magician (Barrier Mancer)], who are usually responsible for the protection of passengers, have joined forces to form a huge multi-layered barrier to protect the [Terminal Cloud].

Inside, a variety of anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft varistors are deployed.

Change is not only about the movement of those people.

The air circulates around the area, and the wind intensifies, increasing the speed of the wind.

At that time, a small storm was born, as if the clouds of the Terminal Cloud were the eyes of a typhoon.

It was an artificial natural disaster caused by Cadence.The approaching thing shall be baptized by a storm, and the disguise that is wrapped around it shall be stripped, and if the wings are weak, they shall be crushed.

Storms, multi-layered bulwarks, anti-aircraft equipment, and people.

The base in the clouds... was transformed into an aerial fortress.

"Now, the Imperial Flying Forces." When will you attack me? "

Standing on the clouds and watching the swirling storm from the inside, one of the core members...... Air Combat Controller [Flash Technician] Fall mutters.

"Mr. Fall, if the Empire is going to attack this base, we will follow suit..."

“As decided at a meeting in the clan before this war started.You don't have to be the main follower of this war. "

Fall rejects the words of the [Jewel] on his right hand.

"In any case, losing your horse is a high risk."Even in this battle, follower personnel should accompany the large Embrio or concentrate on intercepting it on the Terminal Cloud. "

The Wellkin Alliance is a clan that gathers together to make a living from combat and movement in the sky, but its methods are divided into two types: the Embryo and the Devil... and the Magic Flyer (Cadence).

And the battle in this war...... I decided not to send out the main servant to avoid the loss of servant in my off-duty activities as a Welkin Alliance.

It doesn't matter if our base gets attacked.

As we talked about earlier in the cafeteria, there is no substitute for the demons that members like to use in their bases to defend themselves.

If I were to add the intentions of the core members of the Fall, it would be more troublesome to be retired by a follower-style member with a shock of losing the follower.

"... I understand."

The proffering demonic member nodded reluctantly and headed towards Embrio, which seemed to have mixed birds with other members' helicopters.

While seeing him off, Fall thinks.

(Rather than defending your base, do you have an aversion to sidelining yourself in a war that has put the fate of the Kingdom at risk?Still, it is easy for members of the demonic system to become world-class thinkers.)

The core members, including Fall, are playful minds, but they don't say bad things about the world.

However, there are things that should be prioritized as a clan and things that shouldn't, and I hope you will follow the clan's policies.

Wellkin Alliance is classified as a clan, but the actual situation is that the airlines in Infinite Dendrogram are... companies.

You're here.

Looking at the wall of the storm, it appears that a huge object is about to break through it.

The object that pushed its tip out of the storm was flashing irregularly.

She appeared, disappeared, and seemed unstable... but gradually approached the Terminal Cloud.

Eventually, the sole that completely appeared was a galley ship-like vessel.

Sixteen versus thirty-two waves protruding from the side of the hull travel through the air, scratching the sky and clouds rather than the waves on the surface of the water.

("Optical Camo.") In addition, he has the ability to escape detection, and he also has the ability to fly.It's very multifunctional, isn't it?The owner's storm is breaking through.I don't think I've put in an unknown type of Super Embrio, and it's probably the type that requires external costs or the sixth type that needs to be filled for a long time before it runs out.... by the way, there was a famous Embrio in the Empire that used ships.)

Fall analyzed the information from the ship, and there was a name in his memory.

"... Karon (...)"

Fall speaks of the name Embrio, which he remembers.There was no information such as "flying", "optical camouflage" or "signal blocking", but the name of the underworld defender was appropriate for that ship.

And Fall knew the name because he was famous for dealing with.

"I thought that clan fighter was destroyed in the battle of the Northwest... but apparently, this battlefield is going to be a corporate battle..."

The reason why Fall knew Karon's name was because it was the < Embrio > of a well-known clan subowner.

And this clan is the largest commercial... technology development clan in the Empire.

That is, the Triangle of Wisdom.

◇◆

You're already in an intercept position, aren't you?

Looking down at the fortified [Terminal Cloud], this giant boat... the [Fortune Caron] 's [Master] spoke to himself to confirm.

Her name is Hallheim.

The Empire's biggest clan... is its sub-owner and treasurer.

"You are aware of our movements."Was it a detector-type Embrio?The stealth feature was also given in the Reasonable Options. "

She is one of the central figures in this operation... Terminal Cloud, and Karon serves as the mother ship of the Special Assault Corps.

The reason for this is the functionality of Karon.

Karon's unique skill, Reasonable Options, is to dedicate "Money" to Karon to gain a choice of optional abilities.

The fact that I was sailing in the sky now, the Optical Camo that worked until the storm peeled off, and the wind attribute resistance that was withstanding the storm were also acquired through this unique skill.

The price of dozens of options varies, but the comparatively low flight capacity is 100,000 lire per hour.Although it is higher than the actual airplane fuel cost, it can be said to be reasonable (fair price) considering that this is Infinite Dendrogram.

Multifunctional enough to throw money.And because it assumes external costs from the beginning, the rate of return on costs is good.That is also the characteristic of this Karon.

Are you ready?

Having said that, Hallheim looks back at the ship.

Caron, who was supposed to be a galley ship, had more than a hundred Special Attack Squad members aboard without being particularly cramped.

This is also the expansion of the interior space with the "Reasonable Option".

For the record, it is an option that needs to be used with caution, as it can be disastrous when the option expires while fully loaded.

“Yeah. No problem.”

One of the Special Attack Squad members, the [Phantom Beast Cavalry] Tsikron, nodded to Hallheim's words.

The same was true of the other participants, who were always ready to jump into the air holding the [Jewel].

He was not a member of the Triangle of Wisdom, but of the Full Metal Wolves.

He was selected as a member of this aerial base attack because he was a cavalry and aerial combat was possible.

Special Attack Squadrons were gathered from all corners of the Empire with air combat abilities, and collaborative training was conducted before the war.As a result, Tsiklon survived the attack on the base he was defending.

"However, the opponent is ready to intercept, but the battle force is slow to develop."Best of all, there's no one to follow. "

“Perhaps you are wary of undermining the tools of commerce.”

Hallheim was also aware of the Werkin Alliance's policy of not letting out demons that were in danger of losing.

"I don't think we can do the same operation as this one."

There are many cavalry members in the Special Assault Corps who are devilish, but they are given a different monster than the one they usually ride.

“From the very beginning, the Lexless Series has raised its specs on the premise of short-term operations.Regardless of wear and tear, please fight here with the intention of crushing it. ”

Roger that.

Daredevil (Reckless).

It was named after a new group of monsters created by Franklin.

There is no such thing as an ego, which is similar to the Suside series, but if it is not ridden, it will not even move properly, and its lifespan is short by a week.

But as long as you do one or two battles on the premise that the cavalry system operates, there's nothing wrong with it.It was prepared by Franklin on the premise of cooperating with other "masters".

In addition to that, the flying Suside series was released from the [Jewel] equipped with Karon at the start of the operation, and the [Terminal Cloud] was imprinted as an attack target.

That's the first tactic of the Special Assault Corps.

"We will take the lead, and they will take the lead."This is going to be like exposing their special skills and hands. ”

The Werkin Alliance is the top clan in the Kingdom and the largest air transport clan in the Seven Kingdoms.

That being the case, the hands of the members are unknown.

Above the sky, above the clouds is not a field for people to spend time in, and there is no chance to see the battle up close.Telephoto observation is also limited.

The exceptions are [Storm King] Cadence, who is considered to be the user of the large-scale wind attribute magic, and [Flying General] Leaf, who uses the tactics of ravaging thousands of shadow birds.

"I don't care. You can't beat them unharmed."The sky has become a battlefield for us too.I know how scary and bottomless the Wellkin Alliance is. "

Tsiklon said so, and straddled the Winged Dragon Lechless series called from [Jewel].

Fully penetrate the storms unfolding in the vicinity of the < Terminal Cloud >.

Then the battle begins.

"But no matter how big the opponent is, I'll do my part (decoy)."... let's go! "

That said, he saluted Hallheim and took off from Karon.

He will be followed by the other Special Assault Teams.

"Suside series, release (release). Release sequentially from [Jewel]"

Hallheim is also seeing them off as he unleashes the Suside Series.

The first team of the Special Attack Squadron deployed 2,000 flying forces of 1,000 men.

At this moment, the biggest aerial battle began with Infinite Dendrogram, set in the Terminal Cloud.
