We left the lake and headed back to the neutral city (Athlopolis) as soon as we had finished post-processing and information-sharing that could be done at the scene.
I wasn't prepared to be too thoughtful because I was prepared with the policy of avoiding camping as much as possible, and most importantly, I have a mountain of information I want to take back to the ground as soon as possible.
That's why I decided to turn back to the neutral city (Athlopolis) by sunset when the ceiling Sora stops emitting light and stay overnight in the room provided by Administrator Fraxinus… Before I do that, I need to be the leader of this operation.
Ahead, accompanied by a garnet, was the grand capitol where Fluxinus, without flesh, lodged his soul.
This time it was not necessary to give Fraxinus some kind of report, but apart from that need, there was a reason why he wanted to hear about Fraxinus, who lived long ago.
"Thank you for taking the time to make this happen. Actually, I wanted to ask you something about medallions and warcraft..."
I will briefly present the matter as I look up at the most luminous wall of the Great Capitol - that is, the place where Fraxinus' consciousness and magic resided.
First, I will explain the two warcraft that fought in the lake, and report that they were behaving as if they were one warcraft.
And of course, they were the keepers blocking their way into the third tier.
What you ask on top of that is something you wouldn't know if it weren't for Fluxinus or Gandalf the Demon King or Ayre the High Elf.
"Combine multiple Warcraft. I will give you an order to serve... and I will ask you straight in. Have you ever operated a warcraft in this way in a battle where ancient magical civilizations were destroyed?
Over time, a mass of magic lodged in the back of the wall becomes more radiant, and a voice rises directly in his head.
'… I will answer in turn. The first is that multiple warcraft have joined together, but I do not know of any such examples. Perhaps after I left the third tier, Agate Lamb created a new technology.'
"Is it possible that Gandalf the Demon King didn't even know?
'I can't deny it. If they were going to be hostile to Gandalf sooner or later, it's no wonder they deliberately lay low on information.'
This is as expected.
If Agate Lamb knew he could produce such a substitute, it would be unnatural that some information had not come from around Gandalf, where he had a bent and collaborative relationship.
'And it's the service of the Warcraft... but in a way it's affirmative, in a way it has to be denied'
"And say?
"It has been studied since that time about the warcraft's warfare. Gandalf, Evaldi, and Alphazur… it was a challenge addressed not only by our fellow researchers, but also by a number of researchers'
"In a way, affirmation, can we assume that the effort has borne fruit"
Fraxinus' magic lump shines faintly to affirm my questioning.
"Generate warcraft with medallions as nuclei and operate as a force of war on the human side. It came to fruition, albeit limited in itself, but the operation was very limited '
"Limited, is it? How the hell..."
"One thing was that the rewriting of the target of the attack was exhaustive and that giving detailed orders could not be achieved at last. Other reasons include that the establishment of technology was at the end of civilization, plugged in at a time when we no longer had to renounce resistance '.
Think back to the warcraft you've fought so far.
It just seemed like the first Scoll to fight for self-defense, but the next muspel to engage was clearly operated as Agate Lamb's force of war.
Manipulating the warcraft that drove ancient magical civilizations to annihilation as a force of war - the tactics that Agate Lamb was carrying out at that time seemed to have been knitted out in the midst of a battle that hung civilizational annihilation.
"I couldn't give you detailed orders. So this time Dagon and Mother Hydra's behavior was impossible by the standards of the day."
'Yes. Hide yourself at the bottom of the lake as ordered and precisely eliminate intruders into the underground waterways… I have never seen a warcraft manipulated to this point as intended'
Convince springs ahead of surprise.
Those two didn't strip their fangs to protect themselves, like Scoll did, but were clearly acting with the aim of eliminating intruders.
And like Muspel, he wasn't just excited in a situation where we could fight the enemy in front of us, he was fighting the exact way we pulled our legs.
'I can think of about two reasons. The first is the possibility that Agate Lamb's technological innovations have allowed him to give finer orders than he once did. And the other...'
"Is it possible that the Warcraft is obeying their will?"
'... you're right. Warcraft is a being that magically generated medallions into the nucleus, but at the same time is a life form with self. Most warcraft were beastly intellect...'
"That's enough. Wolves can identify who to follow, and even bears fight with their heads."
Did you develop the art of controlling as a magical being, or did you knit the means to serve as an organism?
Regardless of the method, there is no doubt that Agate Lamb controls the Warcraft and uses it as a force of war.
It was worth just taking the trouble to get to Fluxinus.
It is a testimony that will greatly contribute to the estimation of future enemy forces.
"... yes, just one last thing"
As I walked away, I turned to Fraxinus and asked him one last question.
"Most of the warcraft meant beastly intelligence, but did some individuals have a bit of human intelligence?"
This is an unfounded thought.
I'm just asking here and here for some idea that maybe it exists.
But the response from Fraxinus was against such a mild motive.
"Among a few warcraft, individuals with the same intelligence as humans and capable of communicating with each other… we called them divine beasts. Lurking in the fourth hierarchy that Gandalf lurked himself, a being that creates an endless number of dragons for his family… it is also a life form with the same personality as a human being, an individual of the divine beast '
