Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 745: On the Deck of Blue Ice

Wake up.

It floats in a glass tube filled with light green mucus. Connected by several cords, it supplies a variety of information and Blue Blood. I reached out and saw that it was a yellow painted plane.

"He's dead."

She suddenly leaked her voice and bubbles floated in the slime.

Backup Data Installation Completed

I'm starting up the backup plane.

Release the lock on the tank.

The glass tube opens left and right together with the system announcement. The mucus was drained, the cord was cut, and I was free.

Ledge ~!

"Haha!?"

Frosted in a cylindrically lined facility, a skeleton castle-type Lycan slope rushes over and grabs a fierce tackle in its belly. I managed to catch it and realized that she was a spare Letty.

"Did Letty go back to dying?"

"Me too."

From behind emerged the Type-Fairy spare plane. From that voice, I can tell that the lacto is inside.

Is that all of you?

"Well, I can't help it." There's nothing I can do about it. "

Letty said as she stepped on the metal net at her feet regretfully. When I heard that, I also remembered what happened on [Black Pig's Tooth Island] a few minutes ago.

Simply put, we lost. The most powerful and prestigious Knights in the world, Astra, was still dumbfounded.

His swordfight cracked the orc herd and opened the way to life. It was good until we got in there, but the problem was then. More orcs appeared in the woods. In addition, the giant orc in the center of the forest waved the club in his hand, and many of his enemies and allies were blown away.

What should I say without calling it irrational? After all, we didn't even get to the feet of the boss-like giant orc, and we were crushed by an overwhelming amount of material that was wiped out or destroyed.

Oh, I wonder what's going to happen to the plane recoveries.

I can't help it now that I'm dead. I was wondering if I could safely retrieve the plane rolling on the ground.

“In the meantime, would you like to go there?”

I have no choice but to do so.

On Letty's suggestion, we leave the Update Center for now. For the first time in an hour, Mizuhanome is as vibrant as ever.

However, some of the players, especially the battle professional ones, have a majestic look on their faces. It seems that the case of [Black Pig's Tooth Island] is already known.

Airframe Recovery Support Flight, we'll be leaving soon!

Looking around the city, we spotted a player raising his voice just outside the Update Center. Dressed in silver armor and the emblem of the eagle, he was a member of the Knights of the Eagle. He's calling out to the spare airplane players, like the Dessert Dolls, who keep coming out of the Update Center.

Aircrafts recovery support. It's just right, isn't it? "

"Do you want to give us a ride?"

Apparently, it was one of the Knights' support projects. Many players have returned to Black Pig's Fang Island at the same time, so they will help us retrieve their planes.

This is what happens when you cross a ship. I'm escorted by the Knights along with the other players and boarded the Knights' super-large, multi-unit residential armored armored pale ice ship Leviathan, which was docked in the harbor block. If we were to transport large numbers at once, I think it would be more convenient than Yata Glass.

I knew the Knights' ships were big after all.

"Compared to our" water mirror ", the digits are different"

Letty and Lact looked across the wide deck and let out a voice of admiration. It was the Knights' main ship, but it was the wrong size. Its length is over 300 meters and the deck is as wide as a ground.

Leviathan, let's sail!

Along with the voice of the Knights, a huge ship moves.

As the players gathered at the edge of the ship cheered on the white waves, the ship embarked into the ocean and made its way to the island beyond the [Oshima of the Flower Monkey].

Hello, Mr. Ledge!

"Whoa!? If anyone thinks it's Astra?"

A large-scale singing arts movement by 35 mechanics gazes at the blurry blue horizon on the ship, and suddenly a voice is heard from behind. In astonishment, a backup type-humanoid was approaching at close range.

He hears his refreshing voice and sees what's inside. And at the same time, I was surprised.

"I can't believe we're going back to Astra."

"Haha. I was surprised too. I thought I avoided all attacks.

Having said that, Astra smiles refreshedly at the skeleton. It's strange because the handsome workmanship still oozes like a silver Dessert doll with yellow paint.

As for me, I'd be more surprised if Mr. Ledge died.

Astra stands next to me and leaves her back at the edge of the boat.

"I bought too much. I die too." I mean, when I was about to die, retrieve the plane, and go back, there was this thing. "

Is that so?

Astra overestimates me, after all. I beat him in PVP only because the situation was overwhelmingly favorable.

However, despite the nail, Astra flushed with an ambiguous companion, whether she knew it or not.

So, what do you think of Mr. Ledge?

"I see... there's no information."

There you go. It's from the analysis team.

"... you're a strictly confidential guy, this."

It was the Orcs' appraisal that gave us what we were waiting for. The Knights have not compiled the primary data in their reports yet, and the Commander of the Knights has sidetracked the outside world.

Please don't let it spill out.

"I know."

If you say that, don't give it to me, or I'll want to give it back. But this young man will only laugh with Nikon.

I'll open the data and check the contents.

"Rough Boarman (Wild Oak)" "Mighty Boarman (Strong Oak)" "Boarman Officer (Oak General)" "Boarman Assassin (Oak Assassin)" "Boarman Magician (Oak Magician)" and so on. There are a wide variety of orcs, both what I saw and what I didn't see. All of this must have come from the woods in the earlier battle.

These are the protozoa that lived on the Black Pig's Fang Island.

Flow the information, read it, and mention where you were curious. It seemed that Astra was aware of it, too, and he nodded.

It's not "lived", it's "lived". I mean, something that once existed, but now it's not supposed to be. "

It's like a primitive creature.

I remember the plants stored in my farm and the botanical gardens of Wade.

Protozoa created to prepare a wild environment where seeds were sown by the Zero Period Early Survey and Reclamation Corps. And they plowed the wilderness, and quelled the waves, and seized the storm. And when it became a peaceful environment, they were unable to adapt to it and were extinct.

Is that a kind of primitive creature?

"Well, that's what it says." I think I'm rather close to the Black God Beast. "

The Black God Beast also once overflowed the earth.

A mighty being that is hostile to both the Shirakami Beast and the Miso civilization, in battle, and today is sealed in various places. It is also known that it is a researcher who lost his sanity due to the origins of the Zero-Year Preliminary Research and Development Corps, or more precisely, for some reason.

"If they are black god beasts, there must be a God nuclear entity." Take it to the undersea shrine and cleanse it, or take it to Konohanasakya and we may be able to do something about it. ”

"But in order to do that, you need to get close to the boss first." None of the other orcs were able to identify the Divine Nuclear Entity. ”

Astra seemed to think that the giant orc in the center of the forest had a Divine Nuclear entity. It seems that there were no such drop items in other "Rough Boarman (Wild Oak)".

It's going to break my bones to conquer it, isn't it?

“That's right, I honestly think it's tough at the moment.”

Astra admitted that she was surprisingly light. It may be that he himself has lost lightly, but it is wonderful to be able to judge rationally.

"But I don't know..."

I dig back in my memories and thoughts and roar in my arms. Astra has been looking at us.

Somehow, I don't think those orcs are black god beasts.

It was true that they wore black fur, but not all of them were black god beasts.

Astra didn't quite agree, so she asked for a detailed explanation.

The Black God Beast is even simpler, or rather, feels stupid.

"Are you stupid?"

Astra repeats what I said.

I feel like I'm saying something a little wrong, so I repeat my words.

"It's more instinctive, or more like an animal." You fought a pig-shaped black god beast on a snowy mountain before. "

"At that time, I think the cashier killed her instantly..."

It was a battle to drop the seeds of the Amatsumara. Therefore, I used the DAF system to defeat the "Double Tooth Albordil = Argos" that appeared.

I had been fighting the Black God Beast several times since then, but I felt that it was something different from the feeling I had at the Orc Battle.

"Albordil-Argos was ferocious. Instinctively, they were attacking everything they saw as enemies. So did the other Black God Beasts. But I think the orcs were fighting as an army."

Astra looks back on the previous battle. Nevertheless, he joined the fight from the middle of the day, so it was a delicate matter whether he would understand.

“More to the point, I'm sure the orcs are pretty intelligent at a certain point in time.”

“I see. That's right.”

This was a feature that no other protozoa or black god beast had before.

Are we really dealing with protozoa?

They specialize in and divide their work among native species of the same kind. Each of these professions enhances the overall strength of the company.

Its characteristics are the same as those of our reconnaissance team.
