＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□■Nearby airspace

In Infinite Dendrogram, large group combat frequently reverses defense when the wide-area annihilation type does not work.

A battlefield that presupposes one-of-a-kind trump cards with special skills and special weapons.

If you don't wipe out each other with a trump card, another trump card will be triggered.

The number of cards is equal to the number of trumps, and the rewards of the trumps are repeated until a large number of people sway in the game.

This air battle is a typical example of this.

And judging by the amount of forces I could see, I had already decided on a lot of them.

The Tsiklon Special Attack Squad has lost more than 90% of its power to the tactics of the Wellkin Alliance.The remaining battle force was divided by the stagnant waters of Galguille, which spread over two kilometers around the < Terminal Cloud >, and was hunted down by the < Master >, who was skilled in anti-air combat.

I was supposed to have attacked, but the prey that fell into the trap was no longer the same.

Can you push it through like this?

While saying that, Seven Eyes was shooting down one after another the Lexless series that was flying overhead.

Hypersonic archery by [Overtake/Sonic], the secret of [Windbreak Archer].

The arrows fired from the Amenokago Yumi accurately penetrated the Lechless series, where evasive motion reached its limit after being chased by air power.

"The owner sees a backfill in the enemy."Well, I can still handle it. "

Fall once retracted Icarus when his faction gained an advantage.

So the buffs from the Werkin Alliance's air power have disappeared, but we need them.

To shoot down again with Icarus' Special Ability when the second enemy faction really appears.

My Special Ability consumes a lot of MP and SP, but I've already regained most of it.

The assumption is that the flight will be longer than the original. The Wellkin Alliance also has a number of crew members on board to restore the MP and SP of others.

Icarus' Special Ability can be reactivated even if new enemies appear immediately.

“The owner and the sub-owner are fighting, but there's no need for them.No matter what comes, if there's a battle in the sky... we can handle it alone. "

"No, Mr. Fall, that's called a flag."If you say that, you'll suddenly get beaten up. "

The slide that maintained the lightning membrane continued to shoot lightning attribute magic into the static waters of Gargouille.

Occasionally, the Special Attack Team's [Master], who had lost the Lexless Series to a seven-eyed sniper, fell and was killed by electrocution.

Still at low altitude, the Special Attackers cannot break through this, so they have no choice but to go around the stranded waters. As a result, they are forced to gradually deploy their power.

The fall drops, the seven-eyes definitely reduce the number, and the slides limit the battlefield.

These three have created the pace of the entire clan, and the rest of the clan are riding on it to get an edge.

Moreover, Fall and Seven Eyes are on top of the Terminal Cloud, protected by a double barrier.

It is not easy to break this cooperation.

However, if we were to do that (...)...

─ ─ Of course, it was because it was on a slide outside the barrier.

"... what about you?"

The slide shouted in amazement and bewilderment.

That's because just now in front of me... my driving Garguille's head flew (...).

The bone flesh flies from the impact point in a circular shape, and the wings are losing strength.

Therefore, as a natural progression, the slide on your back... falls into the water (...) with the rest of your torso.

No, me?

I didn't flag it myself, did I?"With a silly face, Galguille's body and slide fell into the static water, and he touched the water he charged and turned black.

Aerial alert!

The Seven Eyes called out to the members.

I could see it in his eyes.

The traces of the attack on Gargouille were almost circular to the neck.

The direction of attack was directly below or above.Considering the stagnant water area, it is narrowed down to one side.

”... that's farther than I thought.”

At the same time that the [Aurora] mumbled to Cadence, dozens of plane shadows plummeted from above the [Terminal Cloud].

◇◆◇

□■Surrounding airspace - Overhead

Not long before Gargouille fell.

Far above the Terminal Cloud, at an altitude of 120000 meters... the limit altitude of the Pure Dragon class.

――――

There was a huge gun with wings.

On the side, like the nose art of a fighter, the coat of arms insignia of the dragon with two legs on its bow is depicted.

The upper part of the weapon, which has an uncomfortable feeling that the wings are in the sky, is a seating space covered by a canopy.

There was a man in the cockpit who looked like a pilot.

The all-back blonde and open-breasted rider jacket is unlikely to be part of this fantasy world.

Rather, it would look better in a realistic, bad biker meeting place... a man with such an atmosphere.

He lay flat on a horizontal seat, holding a rifle-like joystick with a pull bar, peeking into the scope descending from the upper part of the cockpit.

A dragon and its master are visible through the reticle.

Have you finished gathering the information, Gandor

The female voice of Hallheim came from the radio installed on the plane.

"Oh, I can see it."I don't know. My hands are up in the mountains.Tsiklon's husbands did their job, too. "

The automatic translation of < Infinite Dendrogram > makes it sound like a regional accent with a distinctive intonation in the native language of the listener, and the man-Gandor responds to Hallheim.

The words he uttered were an indication that he was watching the tragedy of his camp.

But that's good.

Tikron and the others are discarded pawns to expose their opponent's tactics from the beginning.

That role has already been fulfilled.

Now then, the second group (...). Thank you.

On my own.

After Gandor has lost communication with Hallheim, he calls another communicator.

"I can't hear you? Did you see that?"The first team did their job.We're in a nervous position, too. Are you going to cum? "

There was a thoughtful response from the communicator as to whether it would be enough for a few dozen people.

At the same time, you can hear the flapping of the wings, the sound of the engine, and the sound of hovering.

Anyway, it's a sound that can only be heard around here.

Immediately - I couldn't reach 10,000 meters below where I was hunting unilaterally.

Between them (...) and the battlefield, there is a curtain built by several of the things present here.

Block the sound and deceive the light.

Whether I listened or stared, I didn't notice.

Not to mention if I was focused on hunting down the enemy in front of me.

"It looks like you're getting ready."Look... as planned, I'm the best spear. "

Then he peeked past the scope of the target...... and pulled the iron at Gargouille.

Linked to his fingertips, a massive gun fires a supersonic bullet into his eyes.

I can't sense the murderous spirits happening far away, and I can't avoid them when I see an imminent danger.

As a result, the shells that ran through the distance of 10,000 meters in a few seconds caused Galguille to die, and the corpses fell into the charged waters.

The opponent wasn't equipped with a [Brooch]...... Guardian who couldn't equip it.

Shoot, hit, and die.It was an easy target to target.

"I'm the Beauty Four."

Sniping, he joked and praised himself as he raised his tongue.

I took my eyes off the scope and put back on the sunglasses I had been wearing before the sniping.

"You did it, buddy."

That's what Gandor says, stroking his seat.

The seat trembles as it reacts to the sole.

From the slot in front of the driver's seat, the card marked "Bow" was ejected and disappeared into dust.

Cooooooooo

Immediately after that, a roaring exhaust sound flowed into the sky.

It was the roar of a loyal knight beast.

It's the voice between the machine and the beast - and it's right.

The anomaly of a gun with wings returns its appearance to its original form.

The jaw closes from the top and bottom to cover the muzzle, and the barrel of the gun bends to form a "neck".

The stabilizer, which stretched from the fighter's torso to the left and right, had steel wings mimicking bones and membranes, and the parts that were senseless in the air were the claw arms (landing gear).

The extended tail has a vertical tail with a rudder and a horizontal stabilizer with an elevator.

The sigil was also redrawn from "Dragon with Bow" to "Dragon with Folded Wings".

A transformed dragon, a firearm, and a fighter were mixed together in the sky, a shadow that could not have been seen in nature.

The driver's seat also deformed from the sniper position, and the seat arrangement similar to the driver's seat of the Mazine Gear... is the default driver's seat.

Gandor puts his back on the seat after a day of work and exhales.

"Phew. There's a lot of blood."

During the transformation, shadows other than them disappeared from the surroundings.

His snipers are already on the move.

Dozens of flying objects - The second formation of the Special Assault Team dares to descend into the battlefield.

The speed is not the ratio of the Lexless series or the Suside series.

They are both advanced Embrio.

The second formation consists of only Embrio and Master, who have the ability to fly.

A fewer and more powerful air power than the first battle.

With that power, you'll clear the enemy's hand in the first battle.

It was the tactic of the Special Assault Corps.

”Well, I can't say anything about humans either, but... it's kind of stupid”

Gandor sends his gaze outside the canopy.

He hadn't even touched the outside air, but - he felt the slightest change and coldness.

Instantly remove the blank card from the left hand's coat of arms and insert it into the slot.

"--The elephant is the glory of battle (Weyburn), the flying wings (Flying)!"

In response to Gandor's proclamation, Wyvern transforms himself further.

Transition to a form that folds the body, shuts the neck, reduces air resistance, and flies faster.

The sigil on the side of the aircraft has also been transformed into a "dragon with wide wings".

A gun with wings, a third figure after a mechanical dragon - a complete fighter.

The pilot's seat also transforms into a fighter's seat, and Gandor grabs the lever with both hands.

Just like that, I lowered my nose and descended into the battlefield just like my friends.

Instantly reaches its maximum speed and falls from the sky at several times the speed of sound.

― ― Immediately after that, a great vortex of wind occurred at the altitude where they were.

It was the secret magic of [Storm King (Cadence)], [The Great Storm (Tempest)].

A giant crusher without substance that attracts, entangles, and crushes surrounding objects due to a storm.

A dozen seconds in real time from Gandor's sniping.

In just that amount of time, the sky over 1,000 meters is set as the starting point, and the great magic that swallows the 2000 meters radius is emitted.

I read that the second formation was coming, not the first one, and I thought I had taken the time to prepare my magic.

I was confident that my clan members would be able to defeat the first team with more than 2000 bodies without any pain, so I was prepared for late arrivals.

"You're such a big guy!?"

The tooth storm did not catch Gandor and Weyburn descending at several times the speed of sound.

But the speed was inferior, swallowing up a dozen Embrios that were overtaken by Weyburn and crushing them in pieces.

Or perhaps this was the second best place to go.

If the distance at sniping was close, if the second formation moved slowly after the sniping, if the multiple concealment was detected, then the second formation was all turned into empty algal debris (...).

Without Weyburn's ability to fly and more than 10,000 meters of sniping, this counter-attack threatened to wipe them all out.

"I can't let out that kind of air where it's thin!"

Wind Attribute Magic... In order to reduce the magic effect of manipulating the movement of the air, the second formation was held back by the thinness of the air.

It was speculated that the relatively low altitude of 2000 was to maintain the magical effect of Cadence.

However, the reality is that the time to activation has slightly increased, and the damage has been reduced, but it is not zero.

"I... crossed the line!"

With the storm of destruction and the wreckage of his allies at his back, Weyburn reaches the altitude of.Fighter dragons dance in the middle of the battlefield where the First Faction and the Wellkin Alliance compete.

"Son of a bitch!"

Wyvern, who had reached the battlefield first in the second formation, stared seven eyes at Amenokago Yumi's arrows...

"--I already know that."

Gandor's Weyburn continued to descend straight ahead.

Passing sideways through the barrier-covered < terminal cloud >, the aircraft flies horizontally at a lower altitude of 300 meters.

"......"

The moment I woke up from the nose, I overlooked the aim of the sniper...... Seven eyes.

(Really?)

Gandor's failure to shoot the bow was unexpected.

(I will give priority to those who are close to me and those who are easy to target and those who are on the "upper" side.Even after the water disappeared.You can only shoot [Mon] at altitudes higher than your own.]

[Shoot up and down to steal Amenokago Yumi].

The motif was a Tenko bow that was owned by Tenzuki Tenzuki (Wakawaka Hiroko), who appeared in Japanese mythology.

He shot the heavenly bird with his bow and arrow, but the arrow reached the high heavens.

The god of Takatenhara threw an arrow down to the ground with the vow "If there is evil in Tenkuyoko, this arrow should be hit", and as a result, Tenkuyuko died.

The motif that Amenokago Yumi obtained from this anecdote is the nature of "a bow and arrow that shoots even the command of God, but when it is released downward, it takes the life of the owner".

Therefore, if an arrow fired from the Amenokago Yumi hits an opponent at a lower altitude than the seven-eyes... the damage will be returned to the seven-eyes themselves (...).

Due to its enormous risk, it is a flying organism special effect.

The stagnant waters of Gargouille were also designed to limit enemies upwards and aid in the shooting of the seven-eyes.

Of course, Gandor and the others had no prior knowledge of such information.

However, the results of intelligence gathering at the expense of the First Squad were inconceivable.

Without knowing the name or motif of Amenokago Yumi, I analyzed the behavior and read the weaknesses.

Apart from Weyburn, anyone who can begin to fly at a lower altitude.

The wings are not qualified to fly, but the awe of the heavens is qualified!

Fall activates his second Special Ability against the incoming second team.

The glow of the sun (Icarus) that destroyed the first battle as its first sight.

The remnant strength of the first battalion is based on the shock I felt earlier.

I'll take a look at that, too.

The second formation, led by Gandor, was not upset.

Air power of the Werkin Alliance, which took off after the appearance of the sun (Icarus), and the difference in damage in the first battle.

The Gundors, who were looking straight up at them, had already figured out that the act of approach and the distance at the time of activation would be the key.

Therefore, those close enough to Icarus' Special Ability at the time it activates, like Weyburn, fly around unrestrained and attack the forces of the Werkin Alliance.

On the other hand, those who were far away at the time of activation attacked from the spot while maintaining a linear distance.

They are above the Terminal Cloud.

Therefore, if you shoot the attack directly underneath, it will reach a massive barrier, called the Terminal Cloud, which will damage the barrier.

Unlike the first formation, which was in the horizontal position, their attack was not as lossy even at a distance of 3,000 meters.

A member of the Wellkin Alliance is heading to intercept them in order to stop the attack from above... but that's not a problem for the 2nd side either.

(If I don't see it for the first time, I can handle it.Thank you for the first team.)

And it came to pass, when the first tribe was sacrificed, that the hands of the three who brought them to ruin were laid to rest.

If you destroy the barrier, you can also directly attack Falls and Seven Eyes.

In a situation where an enemy ally starts to disrupt, Cadence can't lightly emit great magic either.

Therefore, the remaining problem is...

"--Tokkahn (shouting)!"

--- Five thousand shadow birds (......) that form a flock.

It was a small black bird about the size of a sparrow, everything black.

However, the flight speed is close to the subsonic speed, which is equivalent to 50000 for AGI.

If such unbalanced black birds flew, it was as if a curtain had been hung over the sky.

And so the curtain...... a swarm of shadow birds attacked the second formation.

Some people sway the approaching shadow bird with supersonic flight, while others stay and shake it off with firepower.

The shadow birds were all fragile, and even less powerful than the lower magic birds would scatter if they were shot.

However, the number is large, and above all, it does not decrease (...).

One by one, they gushed out and went straight toward the enemy.

Then, a shadow bird came into contact with Embrio in the second formation, which had lost its firepower.

From the part touched, the body of [Embrio] was wiped out (...).

Ahh!

Anyone who has seen a fixed damage attack will immediately notice that the Shadowbird charge is one of its kind.

Unlike the three core members of the Special Attack Team, this phenomenon was informed in advance.

However, even if I knew about it, it was not easy to deal with.

Too many, too many

(This is the same as me... and is a superjob, fully synergistic (...)...!)

“Hello! It's a nice day!”

A strangely cheerful voice resounded on the battlefield against the second battlefield, including Gandor.

Even though it was a flesh voice without a loudspeaker or anything, it echoed well in the sky.

We and the Empire, let's both fight hard!

The voice of the Lord was a woman dressed like a South American national costume.

But the peculiar thing about the woman is not her clothes.

The woman stands on the clouds.

On a cloud that has not been immobilized.

I, Peruton, and the little birds will do their best!

No, that's not true.

A woman is not standing on a cloud.

I was hiding in the clouds... standing on top of a giant monster's head.

…………

A monster raises its head.

And it was two horns like deer that protruded from the cloud, and it was the deer's head.

But with the wings, it was definitely a monster bird.

An antlers of monstrous birds emerged from the sea of clouds, and from the shadows that appeared in the clouds -- the same number of shadow birds as those that were shot down and special attacks.

A swarm of shadow birds that emerge in colour, proportional to the cheerfulness of the woman.

That number is always 500.

The number of sub-sound speed flying objects equal to fixed damage shells is -50000.

"I am [General Flying (Sky General)] Reef!"Thank you for playing against me! "

"Isn't that right...? I'm Gandor"

I overheard it, so I introduced myself in a wrong place.

But it's only because he heard it that he turns his back on himself.

"- [Dragon Expeditionary Cavalry (Master Dragner)] Gandor."

---To the apex of the one who drives the bird, the name of the apex of the one who drives the dragon.
