Kujonin

Episode 198

Operation Blood Rain continued on March 3.

In the daytime, about 10 shadows used by Melmo set up sleeping smoke and paralytic smoke-traps in the forest, and at night, when the movements of the shadowics became active, the rain of blood Let down.

On the morning of the third day, Seth was caught when a beastman boy soldier came to see the fort.

"What do you do? President"

Seth asked me for instructions.

"Are you a prisoner and use it for negotiations? Well, ask Thione or Ap. We're exterminators. We don't know what to do with prisoners."

"understood"

"Why aren't you suffering from shadowic?"

A beastman boy soldier about to be taken to Seth asked. The enemy seemed to think that the shadow rush occurred and that this side was also damaged.

"There's no damage here because we set up."

"No way! Is there a monster who can use that many demons? And is shadowy a ghost-type monster?

About 10 Mermo were used. Normally, ghost-type monsters are difficult to use. I don't think it's that difficult if you know what it is, but it's scary because you don't.

"I do not pass information to the enemy. It is a trade secret."

The beastman soldier lost language and was taken to Seth with a frightened look.

The enemy may have lost his numbness because he would send boy soldiers to scout.

I was thinking about a defense method against "Rapid Staff". Since Rapid Shooting Wand uses fire magic, I made a magic wand that could set up a water barrier. With magical power, a water shield appears from the end of a wand like an umbrella, and can guard the fireballs that have been released.

For now, only the Lautaro cavalry seems to be working. The cavalry has a lot of people who sing the stars, so they seem to be good at handling magic tools. Certainly, he was a poor trader, but remembered that he was dexterous.

While talking to Lautaro about the comfort of using a water shield cane, fog suddenly began to build up around the fort. It is not unusual for fog to appear in the morning, but for the time being, enemy attacks are possible. Of a monster. The soldiers enter the fort building, and we wear masks.

As I developed my detection skills and looked out of the fort, I saw a man running straight into the fort from the forest. Soon, there was a sound of tapping the fort door,

"Please help! Shadowic is coming! Please open the door!"

Shouted.

"Some of the enemy soldiers. Most of the fog was around the fort."

Isle got down next to me and said,

"This is Bersa, the fog doesn't look poisonous. Maybe we're the only ones poisoning in the fog. '

Bersa contacted me with a communication bag.

"Melmo! Open the door when I signal!"

"Confirmed"

He set a sticky trap in front of the fort door and signaled Mermo, and raised the trapezoidal door.

A small boy soldier, disguised as a peddler carrying a large backpack, rushed into the fort through the door. As expected, he fell into a sticky trap and fell down while saying "Guhe".

"What is this! What are you doing?"

I kept a rucksack from a dwarf boy soldier lying on the ground and let Mermo inspect it. I removed the sticky trap and tied up the boy soldier with a rope.

"Why do you do this ?! What did I do?"

"Did you come to help your fellow? He's still a beastman."

I didn't answer the boy soldier's words, but instead I asked.

The enemy soldiers were moving in pairs, so the beastman and the dwarf soldier may have been buddies. What was a buddy?

"President, in the rucksack, a 'rapid wand' and other small vase magic tools, paralyzing and sleeping pills for the little monsters, like the ones sold by Rapa Sucre and others. There were hallucinating flowers, and a little hard bread and a little bit of water, and the life in the forest seemed tough. "

Melmo has reported.

"Hey, the enemy is using poison properly. Just because the food is gone. It's almost bloody to get food in the forest. But this is also to keep us safe. Watch out, it might be a trap. ''

"President of Komuro. We will take over."

Lautaro's men came out of the fort building and said: The soldiers are coming out of the building, knowing that the fog is poison free.

"Please"

I deposited the dwarf soldiers to Lautaro's men.

Now that we have a second Quick-Wand, we begin experimenting with a cane that can set up a water barrier. Even with the same cane, there may be individual differences, and I am also concerned about the speed of setting up a water barrier. Thione arrived while experimenting with Lautaro on the training ground, redrawing the magic circle.

"As a result of interrogating the two, a fire hero is coming tonight."

"Ah, really !?"

In a report from Thione, I raised my voice.

The hero is a target of combo company extermination, so I want to see it from a distance.

`` There seems to be a way for the Army of the Fireland to have contact with distant people, and the brave of fire will deliver food on an `` flying ship '' to soldiers who have been exhausted by the `` Blood Rain Operation '' every day It ’s coming. ”

Isn't a way of contacting a distant person like a communication bag? An airship is like an airship. The last time I read in a book, I wrote that I would use a lot of magic stones to move it, but the country is so much wet.

"Is an airship so big? You need a place to get out of the sky. President, how effective is a smoke-trapping paralysis and sleeping pill?"

Lautaro heard about Thione's report.

"If you want to do it, it will be effective until the sun sets. If you want to make the time faster, mask it, and do you have a wind magic ...? Yes, there was. Use it."

Earlier, I showed a board depicting the magic circle of wind magic used to speed up the movement of the Red Dragon.

"Now, let's fly the smoke."

"Wow, the recoil is amazing. It just seems to be powerful. I borrow it."

"here you go"

I lend Lautaro a wind magic board.

"Thione, our cavalry enters the forest and takes control of the grasslands where airships are likely to descend.

Lautaro has decided on the name of the stick on which the water barrier can be set up.

"If it's okay now, we can prepare only for the staff."

"I understand. Please prepare immediately."

"Okay. But, Mr. Lautaro, Feehorse can be treated with paralysis and sleeping pills."

"Oh, let's leave Feehorse down, because we're the only one who can handle 'Wand on the wall' right now, because there's a lot of people who are starry."

"I see. Let's send it to Seth."

"No, I'm going to be prominent, so I'll do something here. Talk to Thione and the scouts.

Rautaro's initiative led to the “Northern Forest Suppression Operation”.

That said, we have very little to do. Just prepare a mask and "Wand on the water wall", give Lautaro a communication bag, and just say, "If there is anything, please call for help." The cavalry also prepared rackets for shadowics. Most of them come from southern caves, so they seem to know how to get rid of shadowics.

"Wait, wait."

Once you send the cavalry, you have to wait.

As I waited while slowly grilling the meat of the supper monster, I was contacted by a communication bag.

"President, can you hear me? 』

"I can hear you."

"Your mission is complete. Tell Ap and turn the feehorse down the highway. "

"Roger that"

According to Lautaro's instructions, he told Ap to send Fehos to the highway. After a while, Lautaro and his cavalry came out on the highway carrying enemy soldiers.

"This is it! No, sleeping humans are heavy."

Lautaro returned to the fort with enemy troops on Feehorse. Before the sun set in the western mountains.

"Before sunset. Good time. What's the damage?"

"Hey. It was easy to catch because the president's medicine was working. Well, not everyone would have been caught."

"I think there is also fatigue."

"Hahhh, blood rain and shadows are attacking me at night. Ah! You can use the" Wand of the Waterwall ", that's it. You only need to know the shooting direction to prevent it, so Sassa wants to add this to the army's defenses I will tell you. "

There was a chance to make money unexpectedly, but I guess there is no money now. Let's sell for a while.

"Hey, I'm a little tired ..."

"I'm ready for dinner."

"I'm saved. After eating, I'll head to the airship arrival site in the woods. What will the presidents do?"

"Is it okay to see from a distance without disturbing you? I want to see the airship and the hero of fire."

"Oh, no problem."

Feehorse crossed us. On the back of Feehorse are stunned enemy soldiers, shedding blood from their nose.

"By the way, do you know the enemy's damage?"

"There's no dead since we've caught everyone alive. The one who resists was only a bit rough. Oh, President, do you know what this is?"

Lautaro shows a fragment of a vase with a magic circle. The magic circle is like a part of the wind magic circle, but it's a shard and I'm not sure.

"It's like wind magic. What was the enemy using for?"

"Maybe your subordinates say you've contacted the brave of the fire now. Well, I'll ask you a question. Okay!

Lautaro was clapping his hands and instructing his men.

"Well, are we ready?"

I'm going to gather the Komuro Company employees and discuss the fire hero to be exterminated.

As the sun set, the forest turned black.

We gather on the tower and talk while watching the surroundings.

"So, what do you do? If you come out of the airship, kill it?"

I asked Ayl what to do with the brave of fire.

"No, it's dangerous because the fire spirits may be nearby. First of all, watch out. There are many prisoners, so it would be great if we could talk about a ceasefire agreement."

I hope that the negotiations can lead to a total truce and reach a peace treaty. The diplomatic skills of both sides will be questioned, but it does not matter to the cleaning and extermination companies.

"It seems that some POWs are from different countries ..."

"Oh, they're mercenary nations? Seth's caught boy soldiers are also from mercenary nations."

Melmo and Versa have reported what they learned inside the fort.

"Oh, that's what he had, but do you all know this?"

That's why Seth has shown something like a tiny needle. I couldn't see it well, so I approached the magic stone light.

"I've seen it somewhere ... I wonder where it was. Desert!"

Bersa took out her notebook and started turning over the pages.

"Oh, there! It resembles the cactus needle you found in the desert during locust hopper removal."

"Is that so ?! I understand!"

Everyone was surprised at Bersa's knowledge.

"It should be a bit of a hallucination. I tried it when Mamascal and Naoki got drunk."

"Just because you don't have a memory doesn't mean you can do anything!"

I pinched Versa's cheeks.

"Fumafan"

"But the enemy also uses hallucinatory poison, right?"

Rita asked.

"But it doesn't seem to use too much poison."

"We may just have seen too much poison in the Southern Hemisphere. Fuha."

Bow told me that they were all convinced. Poor standards may be a bit strange in the Comlo Company.

"Once you're defending yourself against the walls of magic and fighting poison, protect the Great Plains soldiers if the enemy uses poison. It would be nice if we could see the fire hero from afar. I hope we can negotiate well. "

As they saw Lautaros from the fort, they jumped off the tower and followed.

He ran behind the equestrian squadron on a feehorse in the woods. I don't use flying brooms today because there is no rain of blood and it seems noticeable when flying in the sky. Even Rita and Mermo, which are said to be slow in the Comlo Company, were not late. It was difficult to keep pace because it was faster than Feehorse in the first place. This is also thanks to running around the Southern Hemisphere.

The place where the airship arrived was a flower field that was vacant in the forest, and there were no trees. It is said that magic stone lamps are placed in the shape of a cross in the flower garden. The prisoner interrogated by Thione seems to have vomited.

We set up on trees about 30 meters from the flower garden, looked up at the sky and waited for the airship.

Gown, Gown.

I began to hear sounds that I had never heard of in this world, and when I looked up in the eastern sky, an oval-shaped black thing like an airship was flying towards me.

"Is that an airship?"

The airship came while illuminating the ground with a magic stone lamp like a searchlight. As you approach, you can see the size. It has a length of 60 meters and a diameter of about 20 meters. Anyway it's huge.

"Can you land on that flower field?"

We were just looking at the black airship.
