＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

About ■a player

To put it in a nutshell, it was Player.

I want to play.

I want to do something interesting.

But I don't want to be in danger.

He also had a composite of the feelings that many people had and the feelings that accompanied the usual [game].

"Nnnh......"

Spending his free time in the tournament of games he had been playing, he started Infinite Dendrogram because it was a game of conversation.

The impression he had when he first logged in was simple.

That's not what I thought.

Clear, yet fast, changing vision.

Sound of scrubbing with air when falling.

The coolness of the atmosphere above the touching sky.

The smell of wind that I have never smelled.

And after landing unnaturally and without incident... the taste of soil after falling over.

That reality was too much for him, who wanted a 'game'.

Is it a game of dreams? Are the people who think about this catchphrase overworked and having nightmares?

Well then, this is a [reality] that has become so confusing.

I have a sense of moving my body.

There is no pain, but there is a feeling of fatigue.

It took a long time to get around, and the battle was more troublesome than athletic every time.

At least not the play he asked for. I bought it at a premier price that would scrape the prize money of the tournament, so the cost is unfortunate, but it doesn't suit my taste.

I thought, "Well, let's stop looking at the rumored [Embrio] hatching gacha."

If something terrible comes out from this, it will become a spoiler.

But in conclusion, he never left Infinite Dendrogram here.

Either because of his nature, or to keep him away.

The hatched Embrio brought the Infinite Dendrogram closer to what he wanted.

[...? A tree with (...)? No, is it a chair?

Trees with space for one person.

Although Embrio seemed realistic, he sat around it for the time being.

Then the tree sinks into the shadow of the tree itself... no.

He accepted the astonishing change of circumstances without moving.

If you dare to linguisticize your thoughts at that time, it would be like, "You don't have to die in real life", "If you play games, you'll have fun with surprises and fears".

Then, in the shadows, he was excited for a moment, "What kind of event is going to happen?"

And the fruit fell from the branches of the tree, and leaped, and rose up from the shadow of the water upon the earth.

The fruit becomes human and turns into a doll like a plant-based golem.

At that point, his eyesight and hearing were linked to that of the doll.

Huh. I see. This is a 'game'.

< Infinite Dendrogram > itself is a dive VR game, but it feels like you're playing a VR game.

The golem's body moves as he thinks, and there is no fatigue.

If you don't want to walk on your own, you can have fun in the hot sands of the desert.

Sitting in a chair where no one attacks, he moves a doll that can be said to be his counterpart.

It was a very game-changing way of doing things, and it was the driving force that kept Infinite Dendrogram going.

■Wangdong Station Town

It was built on the east side of the capital along the trading route of the Easter Plain.

It is a small town of unlimited size close to the village and has no saving points, but it is well known for its many traders' lodgings, as it is halfway between the east end of the kingdom and the territory of Count Ajani.

On the second floor of an inn with a reputation for "delicious food" in such a post town, there was a figure of a certain man.

The man wearing a simple shirt and jeans, which would have no gear effect, was the one who was moved by [Venom King] Splendida......

The body was sitting in a wooden canopy in a different space of Mumyo in the shadow at the foot of the doppelgänger.

You don't have to go out of your way to stay at the inn because the main body always stays there, and if you recreate the body, you'll be tied up.

Splendida stayed in the inn as part of the operation... not just a matter of mood.

The highest quality ships in Caldina were enjoyed before they were ruined in a major incident.

After killing Efraim in the church of the king's capital and fleeing, I thought, "There was an inn that served a reputable breakfast."

I didn't know what would happen to the kingdom itself, so I stayed there before I couldn't eat it.

It was an inn that did not throw out his work during the war, and the breakfast he tasted at the taste link with the doppelgänger was satisfactory. If the management continues after the war, I will come again.

In addition, the sigil indicating that it is the master has disappeared from the left hand of the counterpart, and since it is not the quality equipment handled by the master, it is only visible to ordinary people (Tian).

Neither the innkeepers who hosted him nor the people in this city dreamed that he was the "super" of the empire.

Compared to other [super], Splendida took part in the war quite relaxedly (...), apart from whether this expression was correct.

He had no idea what the Empire was up to... or what the King was thinking.

But Splendida had a different stance than the others.

Not for my best friend like [Beast King], not for my master's instructions like [Demon General], not for my clan and my revenge like [Professor], not for my longing like [Cyclist King], not for my companions like [Magic Bullet King].

The reason for Splendida is - half interesting (...).

I thought it would be interesting to be able to participate in a special position called "Super" in a major event called war, so I received the imperial quest.

Of course, I was asked to collect data from the ally's [Crystal] (Quest), but that was also the incidental goal (Sub), not the main one.

He's here to enjoy Infinite Dendrogram.

That's why the King, knowing his ability to survive, only operated as a decoy, not as a life itself.

Like the half-threatened Igoronak, I decided it was dangerous to trust him.

On the other hand, since it is judged that most people move according to the instructions of Foie Gras, it is easy to use as a fighting force, including difficult to die.

The task entrusted to him now is to defeat Rey and the Kingdom by any means necessary.

"Hmmm......"

Such a Splendida figure sits on the bed and hits the radio in the ear.

The body with an auditory link was also listening to the voice (...) of the duplicate.

As planned, we'll head to the eastern border. Please stand by outside. Yes, as you can see. "

Barbaroy Bad Byrne's voice is heard from the radio that the counterpart hits his ear.

To be precise, the only scout unit of the Empire that intercepted the transmission was lurking near the capital... It was the only recording sent to Splendida.

Not only that, but also four dragon cars set off from the capital toward the east, west, south, and north.

Moreover, the owner of the Dragon Car that left for the east was Barbaroy himself, and it was confirmed that someone like Ray Stirling would get on board. The other three were from the AETL Consortium.

"... now, is this blatant?"

The reconnaissance team was able to intercept communication magic, and it was the owner of an artificial satellite. The conversation that does not go through communication is unknown, and the indoor situation is unknown.

And even if there's an Embrio that can gather information, it doesn't mean you can figure it all out.

< Super > is an ordinary < Master > that cannot be reached, and above all, there is only one pair of human ears.

Whether Embrio can assist in getting the information from one region.

In the first place, there were not enough of them. The information person was hunted by [Light King] Eff and [Jealous Demon King] Zee because the original absolute number was small, and a considerable number of them were waiting for them at the Supply Gathering Point close to the Kingdom before the war.

This time, since there was a Ray Sterling in the interior of the King's City, the Empire was sending out a Master of the remaining information to explore the movement...

"This movement is very much like a trap..."

It is troubling that there is also a line called the main order.

As for other points that are troubling, it is possible to grasp the content of the communication, but it is also unknown to whom Barbaroy sent the communication.

Barbaroy only unilaterally communicated the words in correspondence, and the other party's response was unanswered.

From this, it seems that they are vigilant in intercepting communications.

But if you were alert... would you say something specific in the first place?

That is why it is possible to read the communication interception and dare to send false information through communication.

"I heard you sent a warning message to the Wellkin Alliance before this communication..." So, if we were able to procure that information, does the Kingdom still have an Embrio to gather information from? It seems that the radar that was crushing the troublesome ambush has fallen. "

The Kingdom must have reduced a handful of intelligence-gathering types, and as the number diminishes, so must the means to explore more than just the hand.

Splendida was the one who defeated the fighter who was the best at gathering information.

"That said, I know that the worst choice is to leave Ray Sterling in the capital." There is no doubt that it is the calculation to move. But east... east? "

On the eastern border, further east in the territory of Count Ajani to the east of the capital. It was originally a small country, Mayhem.

Why are you headed to such a place?

"He's definitely taking a lot of damage. Well then, you should be aiming for the [Female Pope], and normally you should be heading north...."

If the target moves, we should aim for it.

If we know where we want to go, we move to seal it off.

In addition to the battle of the first day, [Battoushin], [Sickle King], [Fallen Heaven Knight], and other mobility quasi- [Super] forces were wandering around the kingdom.

[Battoushin] was attacking at a speed that I couldn't handle.

The [Sickle King] unleashes an unidentified, instant death attack.

Fallen Knight has a higher strength and corresponding ability than the original, and increases his fighting power with two perk artifacts, and moves in coordination with other Duel Lancers.

Even if I was hunted down, I had no choice. Even the surviving Rankers were the top players, except for the < super >.

We still have the quasi-imperial quasi-quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial quasi-imperial

"On the way to the other side, is Barbaroy to the east? Well, you can't choose between the north and the west."

On the first day of the outpost battle, we crushed each other's rankers, and in terms of the number of dead, the Empire has more.

In the first place, however, Lancer... the number of members of the Lancer Clan makes the Empire superior.

Remaining members of the < LotJ > waiting in their native land are flowing into the kingdom from Runnings in the west and Barbaros in the north with supplies.

The Kingdom is aware of the added power, so it will hesitate to act on both sides.

"Strength...... Lancer...... hmm"

Suddenly, Splendida comes up with something.

Needless to say, Lancer is a powerful man.

However, a powerful person is not necessarily a ranker.

There were many who didn't need to be in the rankings.

Many of them retreat abroad before the war barrier unfolds and spend this thirty-fold bonus time.

One of them is Dalshan, a super-skilled [Celestial Chef] known as a chef who collects ingredients himself, with a shop in the capital.

"Rendezvous with non-rankers outside the border. Walk through the Cardina outside the war zone and head to Carcelatan, where they can escort Ray Stirling to the moonlight?”

The Empire originally gathered as many as possible into reception clans such as < LotJ > to participate in this war.

There was no fighting force waiting on Cardina's side outside the country.

Besides, the [Beast King] couldn't go out of range with his maximum strength.

If she is left outside the war zone, the defeat of the Empire will be confirmed.

By contrast, the Kingdom still has two flags when Ray Stirling goes out of range.

Thinking of it this way, it was a large but low-volume route.

I don't use airways because I'm wary of being captured by flying power or unexpected powerful monsters?

Still, depending on his mobility, he could travel to Carcelatan in the second day.

If we are to stop the escape from now on, we should stop it before we cross the border.

◆

At this time, Splendida's thinking was reasonable for the imperial side.

However, it was in order when the unexpected factor of betrayal of the [Incitement King] parade with the transfer gate ability was passed.

◆

"Even if the non-ranker is overthinking, it is certain that Barbaroy Bad Barn's dragon car is heading east (this way)." Let's ambush them at a point not far from the town. First, I'll guess, stop, and call for reinforcements if I have to. ”

Barbaroy was in the east, whether his aim was off or it was a trap.

Then Splendida moves her doppelgänger, judging that something (event) will happen.

His footwork was light because there was no risk.

If we have any concerns about him now, the kingdom will understand the intentions of the code left behind by the Effe.

But if they solve it, it won't matter.

His zone of safety (Til Na Norg) is not so fragile as to waver.

Because he was sure of it, he decided to hang on to the hanging fishing bait.

And if there's a way to rock his safety zone... I thought it would be interesting.
