Meanwhile, Maple and me were progressing through the quest.

Just as Mi had free time, Maple, who was reluctant to help her finish crispy, literally turned monsters into charcoal by combining overwhelming firepower and overwhelming defense.

Ignis's excellent mobility, and the high attack power that Maple could not do alone, allowed him to easily digest the remaining quests.

The quest was all over, so the two of them decided to come back to town and report their accomplishments.

I'm back with ease!

"Compared to syrup. Could it be faster than [tyranny]?"

I think it's fast!

[Rage] is also faster than the usual maple, but the status of the outer skin does not grow, so the difference between the bird and the ignis, which originally had a higher [AGI], is open.

Mi lowered Ignis in front of the entrance, put it back in the ring, and the two of them entered the town.

Have you looked around the town?

It's still a long way. It's huge, and there are two of them.

"There are cannons on the walls that surround the town." There are other places outside the royal castle where soldiers work. "

Do you use cannons, too?

"It's an event, isn't it? I don't know, there were shells and maybe even a cannon?”

If you have anti-aircraft gear that anyone can use, it won't be safe if you fly. More and more Tame Monsters with the ability to fly are considered to have high mobility or the need to be accustomed to flying in the first place.

Canade seems to be watching the town, so I'll ask you later.

"That's good." So, if you're curious, I'll go check it out. "

Yeah! I will!

The two of them walked to the reporting place while talking. Now that you've reported the request you were receiving, the next difficulty request will be added. Monsters are expected to emerge stronger, and the Quest's destination has shifted from the early Quests, which were mostly woods and flatlands, to terrain where there are cases such as mountains, valleys, and deep caves that cannot be fought freely.

It looks a little difficult.

Yeah, that's right.

Ah, I see. Um, what's going on with me?

With more players around, Maple asked Mi, who had returned to the [Flame Emperor], about his plans for the future.

"I'm sorry, I can't go out with you until today." I look forward to fighting with you again. "

Yeah! Me too!

When I gave Maple a smile and returned it, it broke up here today. Although it was a party that was suddenly formed, we have grasped each other's abilities so far, and the progress of the quest is excellent.

After accepting a new quest for the next time, Mi left the building to break up with Maple.

"I don't know what to do..."

It's not bad to go on a new quest, or to look around the city as we talked about earlier.

Thinking about what to do, Maple decided to significantly change the destination of her exploration, as the quest was sometimes partitioned here.

Yeah, I'd like to proceed with both!

Now I'm not just going to take a little tour of the city, I'm going to explore the land of fire and wasteland.

[Maple Tree] is still spending time exploring the country of water and nature. Maple is the first to start a quest over there.

"Let's play a bit more today!"

So Maple stopped accepting quests here and left the country again.

After leaving the country, Maple continues his leisurely air journey as he boarded the syrup. There are no flying monsters in the area that have been flat for some time after leaving the town, and it is smooth and comfortable.

"If you look at it from the sky again... the outlook is good"

Of course, it is because it is seen from above, but the reason why the outlook is good is that the flat ground is continuous.

The flat terrain that lasted for a while after leaving the city was difficult to attack and protect. The tactics of using surprise and ambush to start the battle in an advantageous situation, such as during the fourth event, cannot be used until it is a promising level.

There is no doubt that the front of the town will be a logarithmic match. If so, Maple looked to the left and right to see what was going on around her.

Outside the front, various terrains are spread out, and there are habits such as the frozen forest that Maple conquered, and the area where Sally was investigating had debuffs just by stepping in.

I wonder if Sally's plan... is to go that way over the flatland?

From the trend of events so far, I predict how Maple will attack herself. Only Maple could move freely through the [Maple Tree]. That's why there must be some part of the maple that only Maple can see.

"There are monsters in the sky over there and I can't fly... but it looks like it's easy to fly over there!"

I look back at the flight I've been flying so far, wondering if there was anything else to be aware of when I was flying.

"... yes, the wind!"

Maple's eyes hurt when she was forced to blow out of the syrup by a gust of wind from the side when she was in the third layer.

It's not just the visible things that are threatening, but the strong winds are typical of them.

"Mmm... I don't know if you're just looking at it. Come on!"

From now on, I will actively decide to travel in syrup and fly to the town. As for the sky, Maple is going to look into it and help Sally.

If [Tenacious Guardian] and [Brutality] remained in exploring the unknown, they would not be defeated unless something significant happened.

Although the difficulty is that the person's mobility ability is low, other abilities have been helpful in significantly reducing the risk during the survey, and can be said to be suitable for attacking at first sight.

When Maple added a new exploration of the sky to her future plans, she flew the syrup towards the city.

Maple enters the city and stops her as she goes on a quest.

"Is there a cannon or something like that in this town?"

It seems that there is no difference in those parts, but I decided to check them myself, so Maple decided to walk along the wall surrounding the town.

According to Mi, there must be a staircase up the wall somewhere along the wall.

"It looks hot... isn't it?"

Walking for a while looking at the lava flowing through the town, I was able to find a staircase protruding from the side of the wall.

There it is!

Maple walks up the long staircase to the top of the wall. Above the wall, there was a passageway, and the distance between them was so low that it was about the height of the Maple's chest, and there were cannons like Mi said.

”There's a hole in it... so I'll just shoot it from the tip here?”

Both countries follow the same pattern, with plains without a place to hide in front of the town. I don't know how powerful the cannon is, but it's a powerful situation. Ranged attacks are owned by each player, and if you use the difference between the height of the passage and the height of the wall to attack with magic or a bow, you'll be worn out in a semi-automatic way before approaching the town.

Maple can also cause enormous damage by releasing weapons and poison attacks from here, including the immediate death effect of the [Poison Spell].

In the first place, Maple was quite strong against the incoming opponent by its very nature.

"Ah! There are shells!"... I wonder if I can use it? "

The Maple that came before the shell noticed that it could be picked up there, and the only thing he could get was cannon shells, so it seemed like he could hold up to three.

I can't just throw a lot of them into the inventory like a potion and fire them, but if some of them go around and shoot them, they'll be able to keep attacking.

Let's shoot it once!

When Maple stands in front of the cannon and uses the projectile, the projectile is automatically loaded, making a loud noise and firing towards the field.

"Ohhh... but I wonder if I can guess...?"

In a PVP match, the target is the player. Considering that the aiming method would be much more difficult compared to the usual [Machine God] weapon, it seemed that Maple would be difficult to use her own technology.

"Just remember something." Iz-san and Sally might be able to do it. "

There were a number of cannons, but they didn't all differ in their potency or effectiveness. If we all shoot, it could be a threat, but we have no choice but to try it out in real life.

This was the Maple that tried to get back to its original direction, but I just joined the player who came up the stairs there.

Ah! Frederica!

"Hmm? Ahh, hey, Maple. Are you alone today?"

"I think everyone is somewhere in the field... but I'm exploring alone!"

"That's right." It's unusual to meet Maple like this. Even though it's supposed to be remarkable equipment and skills... where do you usually explore? "

”Hmm... I'm just walking the field normally, just like everyone else?”

"I can't trust the ordinary [maple tree]."

Huh! That's not true!

"Fufufu, how about that?"

I suspected that the [Maple Tree] had an unusual group of skills.

“Did Frederica come here to see it too?

That's right, I'm in charge of information gathering and back support.

Frederica says that and confirms the view from the top of the wall.

"Buffs... up to that place." There are a lot of us, and even if it hardens too much, the range of attack is..... "

When fighting Raid Bosses, Frederica's inexhaustible MPs and tons of Wide-Area Buff Skills became powerful weapons.

However, he is less durable than a player who is outflanking and hardening his armor, and would like to help from a safe place like this wall if he can.

However, there is also the issue of range, which is involved in the formation, so the advantages and disadvantages in the captured area must be considered more severely. It was not like Maple, who seemed to survive suddenly being thrown into the middle of the battlefield.

"Frederica is in this country, isn't she?"

"Huh? Right now?" After all, we don't know what to do. Are those Maples over here? "

"Am I the only one here now?" We're all splitting up and exploring! "

"The number of [maple trees] is small."

If the [Holy Sword Gathered] belonged to a much larger number of players, it would definitely have more information even if they were exploring in the same way.

Even Sulley, who is good at gathering information, can't gather enough information in the same amount of time. The difference in the number of personnel cannot be easily filled.

"I don't know what to do in the end, but..." It seems like all the guilds are going to the same side of the pane. "

"That's right."

"Isn't that easier to win?" Well, I guess I'll follow the Guildmaster's policy. "

As Frederica, it doesn't seem to change much in either country, so it's easier to do it in the same way as Paine, Drag, and Dredd.

I said stay on the winning horse

"[Gathering Holy Sword] You're strong..."

”Whatever... even if the number of people is small, how can I talk to the guild master of [Maple Tree] who is a few elites and active in the event?”

What, all of a sudden?

Would you like to chat at our guild home for a bit?

Huh?

Maple looked strangely surprised by the invitation, but without any reason to refuse, she followed Frederica's suggestion.
