Gaiden Episode 30

I walked all the way with the Parker's head in the dusty wind.

Parker has spoken in a spiritual tale to see if he was bored without his limbs.

"It's really strange how you walk. What kind of technology?

"It's a secret tactic that can only be passed on to the elders of the werewolf tribe. ...... This is a technique for hunting werewolf. "

The elders of the werewolf are veteran warriors, but can't win if they fight head-on against a powerful mutant wolf like the Gurney Brothers.

However, it is demons that cannot be shown unless they win.

And among the werewolf, there are those who break the rules of the werewolf.

In such cases, it is said that assassination techniques for anti-wolf were helpful.

Elders use this technique only to punish their family.

"The elders use magic to breathe, eliminating even the heart sounds and body odors. It's difficult to detect their attack. ''

"I see, that is the elders' trump card. After all demons are power. "

Parker was originally a human, so he seemed to enjoy some of the demonic customs.

He goes on like this.

"Do you think there is danger lurking in the ground, right? And I think it reacts to the footsteps and weight of the walker. '

"Ah. There may be predators in the ground, or quicksand that sinks with the weight of a person. '

However, quicksand should be noticed by dragons in the desert.

So they are most likely predators.

However, I don't have a way to explore the ground, so get Parker to do it.

"Is there a spirit body in this underground?

"There are no people or demons. Just ... what? I sensed a terribly large and sparse spirit. About forty steps ahead of you, the depth is ...

Parker's voice that echoes directly to my head is somehow puzzled.

"I'm just alive, but I don't feel like I'm alive." And I can hardly feel the mental movements. "

Almost understood.

I smile at the guess, and look back at the points that Parker taught me.

The dragons and the werewolf nodded silently.

Then I turn back softly.

Parker mutters while turning back.

"Hey, wasn't it okay for me to go alone? I'm lighter than a cat person, so if I'm a cat person I'll be fine

Oh, right? If you take off your clothes, it's just bones. forgot.

But after all, he couldn't be tied to this stealth action ...

Be careful next time.

When I returned to reflect, I gathered everyone and started a briefing.

"I know what the danger is. A predator hiding in the ground. It's pretty big, but life seems to be slow. It's an ambush predator."

It is a type that thoroughly saves energy, reduces basal metabolism, and waits months or years for prey to pass.

This type gives up running and catching prey, so jumping out of the sand will not be a long rampage.

maybe.

So I plan.

"The enemy will jump out of the sand in a single shot or swallow the sand and its prey. Either way, they will not move until the prey comes directly above."

Then, she shines her eyes as she cannot curb her curiosity.

"I'm running right above, Lieutenant. I'm lighter than an adult Ryujin and I'm more confident in the arts."

Young guys don't try to be mad at once ...

I smiled involuntarily and stroked his head.

"I buy it, but I don't have to take that risk at all. Just make a slight impact right above him. Skull squad, adjust the power of the siege gun to the weakest. Shoot at the point "

The four youngest brothers of the Werewolf Corps ... but they're all good adults, but the Sukuji brothers nodd anyway.

"Okay, captain."

"The later wolves are at maximum output and the sandscale warriors are ready to use their usual weapons."

Then the warriors with sandy scales nod slightly.

"Then we have a spear. The spear can be thrown, and we can throw a stone with a sling."

"Okay. I'll do a retreat or chase after I've fired my assault rifle.

"I understand"

Finally I look at the cat people.

"Collect your luggage and evacuate backwards. The apprentice is a catman escort."

Soon Friede, Shirin and Joshua look dissatisfied.

As expected, she wasn't as young as protesting the commander, but she still wanted to fight.

sorry.

So I said,

"It's the job of the future lieutenant to be a sober task in the rear. Only when this can be done will you be able to live and fight at the forefront."

Parker then puts her head on her torso and says something extra.

"You were in charge of the invasion on the forefront right after you were appointed as a deputy lieutenant about a dozen years ago? I was negotiating with the demons behind the scenes."

"Negotiations with humans at the forefront are also straightforward underground work."

At that time, it was just a repetition of intimidation and reverence.

Well, let's do it quickly before soaking in memories.

I command sixteen werewolf squads.

"The werewolf corps, row formation! The squeegee squadron continued to fire at the designated point from the maximum range! Be alert and advance as soon as all units landed!"

"Since you fired the threat, right?"

I nodded because Hammam asked.

"Yes. Assuming that there is a monster in the sand, watch the opponent's reaction. At the same time, I want to approach so that the opponent does not notice. The opponent should probably detect the position with this walking vibration. If the explosion causes vibrations, the enemy will not notice this approach. ''

"So that's it"

Unless your opponent has any perceived foul perception, foul perception requires a perceived cost.

Most monsters are creatures that are an extension of evolution, so there shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary.

Now, let's give instructions to other people.

"The Sandscale Warriors will advance at their discretion after the engagement begins, giving priority to rescue and support if the werewolf squad is attacked."

"I've acknowledged"

And do you want to work on this bone without tension?

"Parker keeps capturing the enemy's ghost. Ask for immediate reporting of any movement."

"Yeah, I'm already doing it."

Damn, it's a really damn brother.

Alright, let's call it a long time demon hunt. Don't recall fighting the island octopus in Minami Shizumi.

"Squeegee squad starts firing!"

Along with my command, the four wolf scourges begin to fire menacing fire in turn. A weak explosion occurred about 50 meters away.

Then, the moment the first impact occurred, the sandy area was dented and dented. I saw the sand run down like a waterfall. A sight like an ant's nest appears.

"Continue to shoot menacing shots around! Disperse the impact appropriately and confuse the enemy!

The werewolf gradually begin to move forward.

The squeegee's fire has little killing power, but it does make enough impact on the ground. The sand soars and flows in the wind.

The me and the werewolf squad approached the edge of the mortar-shaped spot in a way that shook away.

If you get too close, your feet may collapse, but you need to get close to the bottom to shoot at the bottom of the mortar.

"Hammam, put on a lifeline and approach the target.

"So the deputy secretary ... no, it's good."

Hammam sighed, wrapping a rope around his waist.

We approach the sand slope with our ropes.

"That is"

A large mouth was visible at the bottom of the mortar. It is difficult to understand the distance, but it is a circle about 3 meters in diameter, resembling the mouth of a lamprey.

It's kind of a worm, but it's definitely a train size if its mouth is big.

Sharp tusks grew without gaps in the cylindrical oral cavity, and the tusks were turned back. If you get caught in that, you won't get out.

"Great teeth, Lieutenant"

"Oh, well done"

"What is it?"

Hammam tilted his neck while holding on to the rope, so I explained while my feet were being taken on the sand slope.

"He now has only his mouth exposed, and his mouth is full of tusks and is armored to protect himself.

"Sure ... I hope the magic gun works."

Whether it works is questionable.

But such a huge predator cannot be left as it is.

"Hammam squad starts attack into enemy mouth. Aim well"

"Roger that"

The Hammams hold the rifle with one hand and aim at the bottom of the hole while descending with a rope. At first glance, it resembles the rappelling assault of a special unit of the past.

Fufufu, cool ... Did the Demon Army finally come here?

At the same time as the impact, sand gushed out of a huge mouth like a geyser. Intermittently, a large amount of sand is expelled at a furious rate.

It's hard to tell if you're suffering or just a conditional reflex.

Because it is reacting for the time being, it is determined that damage is being done, and the attack continues.

"Lee, light bullets are scattered because of the sand."

"There's endless sand to blow out and it's awkward. Well, let's keep shooting in turn. Once you've shot out, take over for others."

I remain on the spot and hold my beloved “Attack”.

The ammunition you don't know isn't just because you're inexhaustible.

I converted a lot of magical power into light bullets, and fired up with the magician's privilege, full-auto shooting.

The sand is pouring down on me, but it is not a direct hit. I'm fine if I have a lifeline.

However, the whole body becomes rough.

In the middle of the desert with no baths and no rivers, this is hard ...

But it seems to be working a little, so I'll take a shot and shoot around.

The other wolves also took turns firing.

The latest prototype-type siege rifle is magazine-type, so that the power source storage steel can be replaced.

Since the structure is complicated, how to mass-produce is an issue for the future, but the performance seems to be satisfactory.

He senses the position of his prey by vibration, but we are only shooting, so his location is not barred.

Now he's sprinkling the sand louder and oscillating all around, so we won't know where we are.

The question is whether you can beat him before the ammunition runs out.

As expected, ammunition was gradually running out.

"Ah !? I'm sorry, Captain I dropped one ... I'm a guy I haven't used yet."

Expensive steel magazines are washed away by sand and disappear into the mouth of the demon.

I laughed at the member who looked apologetic.

"If you're safe, no problem. Go up and take turns."

"Hah!"

And the squeegees who had shot a lot earlier with threatening shots were shot first.

"Weid-elder brother ... Elder! There is no more Soma steel to replace!"

Since they are not magicians, they cannot charge magic quickly.

It can not be helped.

"You can take turns and go to the keeper with a lifeline! In the meantime, let's carry the Storm Steel from behind!"

I take out the magic communicator from my bosom. It simplifies Eleora's communication earrings, increasing productivity and robustness.

Instead, it became a little bigger and became a smartphone size.

I grabbed it and shouted to the apprentices who were waiting behind him.

"Friede, bring all the magazines of the sword!

"Wow, my dad!

It's a pretty tense voice. You may have been surprised because my tone is different from usual.

Right now I'm not "Dad" but "A Deputy of the Demon King".

Friede's scream approached with terrible moments, without any time to think about it.

"Father!

Did you notice it at last?

Later, she shouts at Friede, who looks into the slope.

"Don't get any closer! Give it all to the squeegee squad and go back down!"

"Yes, yes! Deputy!"

Friede salutes.

At that moment, the gushing sand accidentally hit Friede.

`` Wow !? ''

Friede slips his feet to a staggered beat.

Friede fell on the edge of the slope.

"Ah!?"

Someone shouted. No, maybe it was my voice.

Friede's body slides down the slope as if swallowed by torrents.

Friede raises his body at once, but his feet are fine powder-like sand particles. The flowing sand flows down the slope.

Fride does not have a lifeline.

On the contrary, several heavy cloth bags were hung from both shoulders, and it was a weight that sealed the usual lightness.

Its contents are Storm Steel, an iron alloy.

"Oto ..."

Earlier than Friede shouted, I turned into a werewolf.
