■ [Red Crystal Shatterer] cockpit

When the kingdom and empire began to collide on the plains of the northwest.

Hikaru was silent with a cockpit of [red crystal] lurking behind the line of defense and underground.

(... so far, as planned by the Emperor)

After the raid on the Labyrinth, it moved to the northwest regardless of whether it was true or not.

Join forces led by Murdoch and wait 'till there's movement' behind them.

This is what the Emperor had told Hikaru and the others beforehand.

Everyone at the party now understands that it was instructed to "be a fishing bait", even though it was not made clear.

The imperial side's aim is to wipe out the Kingdom's power at once.

Assumed to be in charge of the defense of, and those who were entrusted with the defense of.

Excluding these, the kingdom's power will be scattered throughout the kingdom to destroy the imperial flag.

In fact, however, most < Masters > were gathered in the area centered around King's Landing.

That's because if there's a flag discovery report coming from somewhere, it's easiest to concentrate on moving from King's Landing in the middle of the country.

Especially not a small party unit, many clans with dozens to more than 100 people were prepared for the movement. The exception is the Air Transport Clan, which is probably about the size of the Welkin Alliance, which allows almost all of its members to travel at high speeds over long distances.

And this time, the information obtained was not from the flag... but it was a terminal role that could never be ignored to relay the flag transfer.

Therefore, the clan that was assembled in King's Landing gathered in the northwestern part of the kingdom to destroy the small terminal player and bumped into [Rider], [Eater], and.

Power reserved to reduce the amount of power that should be put into flag battles.

(The kingdom has moved the power that can be moved, and has also put it into the [King of Doom]. There's also the Demon King and the Super Killer.)

When the kingdom entered the plains, they entered Mokmokren's time and captured their power via. I couldn't use my Special Ability, but it was still enough to search for enemies.

(Does the imperial side have a chance to crush the opponent, or is imperial combat power a loss assumption because it is aimed at cutting it?)

At this point, Hikaru and the others... do not know that Murdoch's power... is capable of destroying the kingdom on a single horse.

Therefore, when comparing the strength of the two, it was judged to be a difference of "it is not strange which wins".

In fact, after Luke's tactics became the dominant kingdom, Murdoch turned the board upside down by himself and eventually confronted the abandoned Albert... but there's nothing to know at this point.

"Hikaru, what do we do?

"... let's be honest. Things change faster than I expected. Too fast."

Respond to Mitch's inquiry with a bitter expression.

Hikaru assumed that it would be much slower for the Kingdom to march northwest.

I thought it was the first night or the second day that they would gather forces comparable to those of the Empire to accurately find the [Red Crystal] that was diving underground and wait for them to attack.

But soon after dawn they moved and arrived in the middle of the day.

"Large's Embryo cannot be reused yet, and the charge of [Veldrion F] is insufficient. In this situation, it is unlikely that we will be able to fight the way we expected."

In this regard, Hikaru was aware of his lack of reach.

Perhaps the emperor and Luke had read this development, but Hikaru's thoughts did not go far.

Of course, no one can compare to those two... no.

"Still, there's something we have to do on this battlefield."

"Is that...?

Fearful Small… Hikaru tells the girl at the heart of this battlefield.

"--Destroy the Kingdom's Radar."

Hikaru's words nodded his companions in Kokpit.

"Enemies chased by grasping the movement of [Red Crystal] going underground. If we leave this alone, we will continue to be targeted. They won't leave me or the Super Small alone."

Recently, I heard from Murdoch about Luke's visit shortly after the first round of [Radio Battalion].

And when Mitsu-chi's Mokmo-clen entered the range of effects, he jacked his vision.

In that view, they are looking at the face of the Tykioks.

Hikaru was super, and everyone was underground.

I realized that it was this ability of Embryo that followed us. (In fact, until we got closer, we followed them by Nemesis' inner senses, but they couldn't tell the difference.)

From what they see today, there is no more terrifying opponent than Kasumi, and I can't leave her alone.

Hikaru and the others must crush Kasumi as radars who can chase them, just as the Kingdom wants to destroy the small terminal.

"Guys, they're moving."

In Mitch's words, all the cockpits looked at Mockmockery.

There, she saw Audrey's back from above the emerald clouds.

"I dare to fly over the sky..."

"The breakdown is [Demon King], [Super Killer], Ray Sterling's [Embryo], the role of radar, and two others. No, and it's easier to fight than to get into a group, but I don't think I want to join the Empire either."

When I told the imperial side of the approach from the sky, Hikaru thought that there was no way to deal with it, and Hikaru also agreed. Rather, I even think that if there is a change in the imperial movement by communicating information, the Kingdom will break through the gap.

In fact, if we try to communicate and respond to Luke and the others, Emerald will change the movement from a turbulent heavy rain to a natural disaster of sweeping.

(The problem when we deal with it alone is that even though the Demon King alone is incompatible, it is also added to it. In addition, our power is dropping. Then....)

While Luke and the others were approaching, Hikaru considered countermeasures, including those that could be used from a pre-planned plan, and shaped the intercept... and waited for Luke and the others.

□ ■ Northwest Kingdom of Alter, above

While Murdoch was fighting on the Kingdom's Master and Tall Hammer.

The faces of the Death Period, with the exception of Alberto, were riding Audrey after Igoronac, the “immortal”.

It's a situation where you know you'll get shot if you fly over.

However, Emerald's scoring cut the rays, and even asked Alberto continue the widespread annihilation, pushing the opponent into a situation where they were not satisfied with the search.

The concern is with the Vision Jack used in the Tomb Labyrinth, but the imperial movement has not changed.

It is unclear at this time whether it was a trap or because it broke through the other party's vigilance net.

However, Luke had determined that the latter was likely and was on high alert.

"Mr. Nemesis, what do you think?

Looking down at the forests ahead of the plains, Luke asked.

"... the closer we get, the more accurate direction we can see. Above ground... no, this is... underground."

Luke thinks of the words of Nemesis.

(I don't think it is the performance of the current magic machine. Should we see them lurking underground, with special armor or imitations like Ray's silver or [second model]?)

That assumption is correct, and the "Red Crystal Shatterer" operated by Igoronak of "Immortality" was created by the third generation of Flagman, who inherited part of the knowledge of the master craftsman, with the support of the Brilliant Ballman.

It is performing better than the current magic machine and is still watching as it dives into hundreds of underground metels.

"Kasumi-san. What about Taikyokuz?"

"Uh-huh. I saw it... But it hasn't arrived twice yet, so if we get off the ground... maybe..."

"I see.... lowering altitude. Be vigilant."

On Luke's instructions, Audrey lowered his altitude.

"─ Killing Sense !

--It was at that moment that a bullet faster than the sound struck Luke and Nemesis.

Three bullets flying from the other side.

They're all targeting Kasumi.

……

The bullet that flew from both directions was wearing Liz's critical guard.

Bullets approaching from the other side

"Counter Absorption!

It was blocked by the unfolded wall of light of Nemesis.

"Sniper!? From three places at the same time!?

Marie and Io were moving next to her, shouting doubts.

Marie fires an alkane shell set on a black and red bomb.

Io is Mode: Shattered - pulls the trigger of the Gorin transformed into a giant bazooka.

Return the bomb in two directions when the sniper shell arrives.

Luke and the others were standing in a powered suit in the woods created by the explosion.

Igoronac!

Each Igoronak had a weapon like a sniper rifle.

Those who were targeted by Marie's Alcan Shell were shot and damaged, but they still seem to be able to move. Those attacked by Ao apparently avoided a direct hit, even though they were dirty with soot, the damage was minor.

And both activated the self-healing abilities they had shown many times in the Gravemark Labyrinth, and kept moving and hiding in the woods.

--Meanwhile, the fourth sniper is targeting Audrey.

Kieee!?

She performed an emergency evasion, but has more people on her back than she avoided the fire from the earlier [Radio Battalion].

Audrey couldn't avoid dropping them, so he took a bullet to his wing.

As the blade is damaged, the descent speed increases at an unintended speed.

"From next to next....!

"You must have been waiting for some planes in advance."

A formation that waits and kills the opponent who comes after us.

Did the opponent read that Luke and the others would breach the imperial defense line, or did they take precautions?

(I don't know how many more planes there are, but if you think about the energy that moves this much even here, the other party's Super Embryo can decide on that kind of thing. However, enemies who use that amount of energy should be more powerful at knocking on it than relying on the minions' tactics)

It is oddly the same as Murdoch's true battle against Alberto.

(When it comes to the Labyrinth, is it safer for them than the outcome of the battle? It's not very masterly stylish... But this time, when and where...)

Luke, what are we gonna do from here? You're going down!

Luke's less than a second of fast thinking is blocked by questions from his fellow Nemesis.

(... that's not the place to think right now.)

"I'm going down. Kasumi-san, Fuji-no-san. Parallel to tactics A and B communicated in advance. Me, Marie, and Io go to the guard. Nemesis, if you need one, use Counter Absorption."

Everyone nodded to Luke's instructions and jumped off as Audrey landed between the trees in the forest.

Luke returns the wounded Audrey to [Jewel] while releasing Taller.

"Taller"

I know you didn't tell me, but I'll be careful not to eat the magic of my daughter and child. It's a hassle to add or subtract.... "

While activating his abilities as MP Eater, Taller is alert to his surroundings.

"Barnes, please...!

Kasumi is a Wall Summon Monster [Balloon Golem]... and surrounds herself and Fujin with five Group-shaped Summon Monsters, [Balloon Golem Troops].

Outside, Marie and Io stood by their weapons, and Luke was ready to attack with four pieces: Babi, Liz, and Taller.

The dependency is still alive. Now that Luke can't afford the level and has used it in the Gravemark Labyrinth, he can only use the power of his family for a few minutes during the war.

In the current situation, it can't be cut yet.

Three more snipers were fired at them as soon as they landed.

One was played by Liz, one was offset by a penetrating missile by Marie, and the last one was destroyed by piercing through the integrity of the Balloons, but it didn't hit the two inside.

The rest of the Baloons are spaced apart and once again hide themselves.

(Told the customer that the other party wouldn't come near us. We found a natural enemy named Taller in the Tomb Labyrinth, and they're going to shoot us from afar.)

Although the producer Mero has already left, it can be immediately repaired by her < Embryo > [Igoronac type].

However, it won't activate if you absorb the magic that was charged to repair it.

An immortal fighter can instantly be eaten by even the magic of the activation after a meeting with Tarler, turning it into junk.

Knowing that, Igoronak, the Immortal, cannot engage his enemies in melee battles.

(At the same time, there is no ambush or bombardment by nearby gates. We know what's in our hands. If you reopen the gate next to us, we'll shoot you through the gate.)

The gates of the change ring pass through non-human beings.

Luke confirms that at least items and monsters pass through.

Therefore, it is also possible to shoot Gem and Marie's alkan shell inside the gate to attack Igoronak's main body.

If you're afraid of its development, you won't be able to release [gems] like you did in the Tombmark Labyrinth.

Three more bullets will be fired while Luke thinks.

Liz played both shots, and Io used the Gorn of the Great Axe as a shield.

(Three more shots each. Except when Audrey was shot, he always fired three shots at a time. I'm sure we're trying to deal with it, but why are the three shots...?

Luke remembers the cockpit of [Red Crystal] he only saw once through the gate, and the Vito he was inside.

(Considering the voice, age and gender, there are two candidates for pilotage. Considering the character inferred from the words and the expression at that time, he is in charge of the pilot. And he had gloves on his hands that were clearly of a different design than usual. If that's the controller, can you simultaneously manipulate up to 10 fingers of both hands? But in order to guarantee precision... no.)

After reviewing the information stored in a short amount of time, Luke leads the information that appears to be close to the answer…… and denies it himself.

(If we can operate simultaneously, they will be able to intervene more in that battle, which has even cut off the privileged armor to take us down. It can be moved in one operation. Besides, considering the battle in the Tombstone Labyrinth and the operation of the [Blaster Eye], there is only one vision that can be jacked with a shuffle. Not enough manpower or vision to shoot accurately from three directions simultaneously)

Luke modifies the direction of thought from the information he already has.

(You may be changing the aircraft you fly one after another, but you should still be able to shoot at the same time. And since there is no such difference in the firing sound, it does not appear to be simultaneous firing due to the difference between the switching of operation and the distance. then.....)

After considering the possibility that it should be denied, Luke filled in his own reasoning....

Kasumi-san.

"Ha, yes!

"You can just open your eyes for a moment (...), so tell me."

― ― Asked Kasumi what to ask about the answer.
