Is that the goal of this raid?
That's right. It's a research facility that's under the control of the general.
Grace nodded at Lexi's question.
The Wisteria Mercenaries have arrived on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Rhodelia, at the request of the Five Nations.
The content of the request is the suppression of the research facility.
Looking down at the Aldis, a grey research facility with horns lurks in the woods.
Given the size of the building, the number of people in it will be more than a hundred.
It seemed like a very large facility.
And then, instead of raiding, our job is to suppress.
Grace corrected her concern about the expression of her words, but Lexie on the other hand was blowing in the wind.
Neither one of them has changed, right?
"It must be very different." We're not fighting soldiers or mercenaries this time.We don't have to shy away from anyone who comes at us with a weapon, but it's not about killing an irresistible human being. ”
"Yes, yes, I know."Securing research materials and researchers is a top priority.If that's not possible, how about incinerating the materials and destroying the equipment? "
Derwat interrupts the conversation between the two.
"Then why don't you surround the building and roast the whole thing from the outside?"
This time, Viktor made a mistake.
"I'm not impressed with killing non-combatants."We're not bandits. "
Derwat, treated as a bandit, shows a swollen face for a moment, then turns his gaze to the three soldiers who are a short distance away.
"Does that make sense to you, soldier watchman?"
"I'm not a watchdog."I'm the guide, I'm the guide. "
It's the same thing, isn't it?
It's very important that you're here before the founding.
Repeating the same interaction with someone, Darwat slightly shrugged his shoulders and backed off.
"Well, I don't know if I've even killed people because I like them."If you can't resist, I'll try to tie you up with a rope. "
Darwat switched his attitude gently and made a shelter (hissing) above his eyes with his left hand, and asked questions while looking at the building.
"That's why I have a research facility in such a despicable place again."Isn't this usually on the grounds of the Royal Castle? "
"Come on. Do you just want to let people touch you, or are you researching something dangerous..."You might find out if you go inside. just..... "
What is it?
You might find something that isn't even a random thing.
It wasn't long before Aldis and the others broke into the research facility after a long meeting.
There are a total of three entrances and exits to the facility.
The Wisteria Mercenaries also divide their personnel into three groups and surround themselves so that they don't miss out on the researchers.
"Hey, Aldis."
"What the hell?"
While waiting for the signal to enter, Rouchell called out to Aldis with an anxious expression.
Somehow I recognize that building.
"... it's a strange thing, so am I."
A grey building to break into from now on.
The colors and shapes evoke Aldis' spinning memories.
Strangely linear and decorative form.A mysterious wall surface with no seams anywhere with a single gray color.
When Aldis regained his ego as Aldis, the atmosphere of the building in front of him and the place where he was captured was too similar.
"Like Viktor said, I think I can find something that isn't even rough."
It was Aldis who was in a dark mood and was about to be filled, but he couldn't stay down forever.
Rush in!
Grace's orders are for the crew to burst into the building.
An armed person, thought to be a gatekeeper, points his spear at us, but the difference in individual strength and number of people is obvious.
Without a proper battle, the Ardis quickly defeated the gatekeepers and fell into the inside of the facility.
You look exactly like me, right?
Following Grace, who was leading the way, Ardis tweeted to spit it out, looking at the passageways in the building and the equipment provided.
Everything was just like the buildings that Aldis and Luchel had captured.
Eventually, the crew scattered across the building as they formed teams of several people.
Aldis himself, along with Rouchell, was on Grace's team, stepping into the back of the building.
After dividing the tangled aisle and checking it with a gaze, and checking some small rooms, I arrived at a place that was obviously different from the room I'd seen before, which I could call a hall.
A long desk and a lot of chairs lined up in a room for meetings and rallies.
There is nothing unusual when I look around.
An empty hall where there is no one and there is no place for anything.
The sound of battle came from a distance.
I'm guessing our people who broke in from the other two places are engaged right now.
But the halls of Aldis were silent as if they were isolated from the commotion.
That's weird.
“What do you want?”
Luchell asked Grace as she glanced around the hall with a suspicious face.
"Don't you think there are too few people?"
"That's for sure..."
"You can even think that the place we happened to come through was a place with few people..."In that case, there are fewer sounds than expected from other places. "
Grace was right.
Sure, you can hear the sound of battle from a distance, but it's also uninterrupted and quickly subsides.
It's a building with more than a hundred people, no matter how many research facilities there are.
Considering that the guards would have been there, Grace's idea that there was too little resistance after the assault could not be attributed to her.
"I can't just rendezvous with you once..."Soldier, what do you think-- "
”Giaaaaaaaa!”
It's a monster!
Grace was about to ask the guide when she heard a scream coming from above.
Those guys up there!
One of my companions rushes out to see if his voice is familiar.
Then Grace followed him.
"I'm going to cover you!" Don't be vigilant! "
Of course, Aldis couldn't leave his people in trouble.
While holding each weapon, she followed Grace to the stairs and ran upstairs.
Ardis rushes into a room that seems to be the source of the scream, and then stops.
"Geez..."
What was spreading out in front of Aldis and the others was a miserable attempt to turn away.
An indifferent room that is never too big.
But the only thing that was distinctive was the shape of the room.
Because the floor, the wall, and even the ceiling were reddened.
It is human blood that is dyed.
As if to prove it, the walls and ceilings are crushed by strong shocks, and human meat lumps that can no longer maintain their original shape are stuck.
"What, what... is this guy?!"
Located in the middle of the tragedy is a seemingly unusual existence.
The form itself is close to man.
Two arms, two legs, and a large head resting on her torso.If it's just the size, it looks like a teenager.
But it was clear that it was not human.
It's not armor, it's not clothes, it's something as hard as a burnt person.
The deformity was on the floor, and he had a mouthful of blood on his mouth.
Only the sounds of pitch-pitter and freaks bleeding echo, and only the words of someone pass through the silence.
Transforming... things
Be right in your words, monster.
A scary gaze ran down Aldis's back.
"I'm not kidding."
He suddenly shook his head and clenched his sword.
The monster's face turned towards us.
A sore face without eyes and nose.Notable among them is a small red stone embedded in the forehead.
Moments...
One of my companions was ripped off his neck and died.
It's fast!
Spread out!
I was stunned for a moment.
The many mercenaries who had passed through the dead ends immediately began to move.
"Turn your back on the wall!"
Don't forget the barrier!
I took positions to surround the monsters while calling out to each other, but their speed far exceeded Aldis' predictions.
Giggle!
A fellow can't escape the monster that suddenly approaches and gets bitten by his arm.
"Shit, let go! Let go!"
With the other arm, I poked a dagger into the back of the monster, but the opponent didn't seem to be frightened at all.
On the contrary, with a staggering grip, I torn the arms of my companions by force.
”Giaaaaaaaa!”
"You son of a bitch!"
The other people who came to my aid are slaughtered by monsters one after another.
But the blade was all turned back with epidermis.
It seems that the surface of a monster like Freckles is much harder than it looks.
"Mi...... zu......"
The sound spills out of the monster's mouth.
Depending on what I wanted to hear, it seemed as if I was complaining about what the human voice sounded like.
The monster dropped its mouth on the floor and attacked a new target.
The target was the three mercenaries who were slaughtered earlier.
Instantly filling the distance, the monster's sore mouth opened and some liquid was spit out.
"Get out of the way!"
The three of them have moved on to evasive action before Grace's warning arrived.
But the movement of the monster did so.
Ughhhh!
Two of the three of them bathed themselves properly, unable to avoid the liquid, and their bodies melted without leaving any bones, like waxes that were heated.
"Ah, my legs!"
The last person also gets liquid on one leg.
The skin below the knee melted and the remaining area was reddened as if it had been burnt.
”Eek!”
Seeing the grotesque sight, Rouchell screamed briefly.
Is that the call water?The monster's face turned to Lucille.
Lou!
Aldis quickly broke through between the monster and Lucille as he unfolded the multiple barriers.
The monster's face is so burnt that it can't tell the difference between his eyes and his nose.
But at that time, Aldis felt the monster's gaze be directed at him.
"Y...... zu!"
A monster approaches Aldis with something like a groan.
"Grrrr!"
It is not an opponent that can be prevented by a half-hearted barrier.
Understanding that, Aldis leans back on his defenses without any consideration for counterattacks.
A monster's hand stretched out, and Aldis's unfolding barrier quickly shattered in an attempt to stop it.
One, two, three...
Aldis was impatient with the barrier that was breaking down so quickly.
"First of all...!"
When I thought I couldn't stand it, a new barrier unfolded before Aldis.
Ardis was convinced that it was due to Rouchell without any basis, but his body moved naturally to defend itself.
With a monster without eyes, I couldn't get that aim from my gaze, so I had to move my sword to prevent it from reaching out to my hand.
A monster's hand touches Aldis's sword.
"Guu...!"
Instantly, Aldis' sword was pushed into an abnormal force.
Unimaginable power from that stature, the monster distorts Aldis' sword.
The unpleasant sound of the sword was complaining that its limit was near.
