Early in the morning - I was just picking up an early breakfast and getting ready to leave my quarters, and a call from Guildsaber headquarters went into Mr. Serafina.

Stampede in District Five started earlier than expected. He said that the Guildsaber unit in District 5 and the searchers with the summoned title, as well as the searchers in District 5, had already met with a response.

Entering the 'Green Hall' and going to Guildsaber headquarters, Mr. Kuselka and Mr. Hoslow, as well as the crew of the Guildsaber unit, were waiting.

"Thank you for having responded to the call. There's already been a battle going on in the city of District 5, so I'll explain the situation."

"This time the stampede was caused by the" Sandy Sea "… although it is a unit every few months, this labyrinth tends to have an inevitable increase in the number of individuals due to the demonic ecology. When I come out of the city, I respond with a total outing, but at parties below average level 10, I just crusade the hell out of them."

Mr Hoslow, Mr Couzelka's assistant, explains it to me instead. Average level 10 - a party that is surely stronger than us if we just look at the level, a demon that struggles against the whole thing.

That, too, would mean demons moving all over the city. The defensive side will also have to disperse its forces, and it will always be difficult to respond in favourable circumstances.

"But one by one, it will certainly be an effective battle. Destroy the enemy 'named' and the stampede will stop, but struggle is imperative when 'named' acts with the surroundings. I know it's going to be a tough fight, but I want you to be as conscious as possible of breaking up demons and also think about joining up if other parties seem to be struggling"

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for the surrounding trends."

"... I'm not your boss or anything, so if you answer me honestly, that's... what"

"Hoslow, not if it's lit. Stay nervous."

"Yes, sir."

I intend to reply normally, but Mr Hoslow's reaction is favourable. Will the seekers called by other districts be nervous or hard to respond to?

"... it's a good place to be in the back, but I don't know what I'm talking about."

"Mr. Fifty Storms, what's wrong?

"Yes, no... Kohon. Let's do our best because they called me, and I tried to tell you."

"Wow, you heard something completely different about me, didn't you?

"Mi, misaki... not really, anything to stir up like that..."

"I think it would be preferable if Lord Hoslow liked Lord Atobe."

Mr. Serafina is not at all lost in saying those things, and he says them with a straight face - in these cases it lights up better. Mr. Hoslow was also scratching his cheek as he walked.

"There are some non-combat personnel at Lord Atobe's party. After the transfer, you will remain on standby within Guildsaber headquarters in Ward 5."

"Thank you for your companion's consideration. Are we supposed to fight as instructed at first?"

"Oh...... if it's hard to crusade, you don't have to. Explorers have no obligation to suppress Stampede, but some of them will go ahead and fight demons. Not necessarily militarily unfavourable"

Same as when the stampede happened in the Eighth arrondissement - even if you're ready to fight demons in the labyrinth, you don't go on and fight demons that have come out of the city, many of them. That's definitely not because we have to take part in the crackdown, but because it's customary to wait and solve it.

But Guildsaber also wants a little more power so that the Seeker can dive into the Labyrinth with a little safety. So there was a voice for us.

"... I will also tell the Atobe lords. District 5 has a corridor formed to hunt down demons for powerful demons when they come out of the city."

"Lieutenant Kuselka Third Class Dragon, that doesn't give them yet..."

"It's not early. Demons hunted down in the 'Corridor' may attack using vehicle weapons such as' Punch Corner Cars' or using special weapons planted in the city itself. If these are to be used, seek advice from nearby Alliance Sabres, if possible. If a guild saber uses a weapon, avoid getting involved."

"You can leave the role of pushing 'named' into the 'corridor' to us guild sabers. But if I need your help... then thank you."

Mr. Hoslow bows his head - that's a good idea that he's not calling us by decorations because he has a title about us.

"This time, up to two charms granted 'Poison Resistance 3' will be paid to the parties participating in the crackdown. Please consult with the member to be equipped and decide."

"Speaking of poison in the sand, that's it... a sasori. Well, labyrinth sasoris are a monster several times bigger than humans."

"Hih... Sa, is Sasori out of town full of that...!?

"Hiding and living in the sand makes it difficult to reduce the number of individuals. You can say the same thing about flying demons."

It's a razor demon, and it uses powerful poison - it could use ranged attacks, but the priority should be the Venom Control of the avant-garde. Give Mr. Serafina one charm, talk to him about the other, and have Theon wear it. Because Shion, the escort dog, sometimes goes' coverings' at his will.

"Now... we will move to Guildsaber headquarters in Ward Five. General, follow me."

"" "Ha!

When Mr. Couzelka leaves the room, Mr. Hoslow and the troopers follow. Mr. Adeline and the others said they'd be coming for rear support later, but they're already armed, lined up to drop us off first.

There are several doors in the hall at the penetration of the hallway. When Mr. Couzelka put his hand over one of them, the crystal embedded in the wall beside the door marked '5' with the notation of the Labyrinth Country, and the door opened.

Is the Guildsaber headquarters connected to all districts - if so, do the Kuselkas ever go to more than Quarter IV?

After walking inside the transfer door for a while, the air changes - Mr. Couzelka, who is leading me, opens the door, similar to the headquarters in District Seven, but out in a different place. And a waiting guild saber came running over.

"Lieutenant Kuselka 3rd Class Dragon, as we have been informed, a stampede has occurred unknown today! There are 134 demons so far and 13 crusades so far! The front is spreading from the entrance to the" Sandy Sea of the Sand "all over District 5!

"Roger. We'll check the war situation here and join the front. Our troops, and one party of the Encouragement Seekers, will join the battle, and later, as soon as the other troops arrive, we will provide backward support."

"Roger that! Immediately report to Fure 3rd Class Ryusa..."

"- I would like to report to HQ, a few demons are moving fast to the Eastern District! We are directing non-combatants to a place of refuge, but evacuation is not over yet!

There must be a lot of explorers in District Five, but 13 of the 134 were able to be defeated - hours after the stampede occurred. Then it's taking a lot of time just to crusade the whole thing.

"East of District Five...... that's a neighborhood with a lot of supporters living in. Captain Cuzelka, what do you want to do?

"Let's hurry. Lord Atobe, I will share the map. I should have given it to you in advance, but institutionally you are only supposed to be able to disclose it after you come to District 5...... sorry"

"No, it would be helpful enough if you could still tell me now"

"I like guys with good splits, I do. Atobe, will you come with us? I want to buy time for supporters living in towns and residents who can't fight to evacuate."

"Okay. Madoka will be here waiting for you and picking you up as soon as the crackdown is over"

"Yes... hey brothers, take care...!

The Guildsaber headquarters in Ward 5 also seemed to be built underground in the same way as Ward 7. Running through the hallway, up the stairs - I had the feeling I was transferring along the way, flying into a building on the ground.

"- Lord Atobe, gentlemen, stop!

I should have gone inside the Alliance building - I didn't think I needed to be alert to demonic attacks yet here, but the idea was sweet.

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Death Stalker G" activates "Poison Blaster"

Mr. Couzelka stopped his leg as he headed up the stairs and out into the hallway - something passing through the hallway with fierce momentum.

"The stray bullets are flying into the guild. Ah... watch out, that's both poison and lysate. If you don't want to make your gear stylish, don't touch what they throw up."

"Hoslow, I'm leaving. Come out while they're attacking you."

"Ever...... you can't just let Lord Captain go. I left the rough stuff to my men... I didn't ask!

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Kuselka" activates "Garm Drive" Speed, Dodge Rate Increased Significantly

· "Hoslow" activates "Battlecry" Party Attack and Defense Increase

· 'Hoslow' activates' Burst Dash '

(Fast... not only Mr. Kuselka, but also Mr. Heavy Duty Hoslow with the skills to travel fast... no, not if you're just watching...!

"- Mr Couzelka, Mr Hoslow, 'I will support you'!

He jumps out into the aisle and sees Mr. Kuselka and Mr. Hoslow, who precede him, and the demons who have broken into the entrance to the building.

◆ Demons encountered ◆

Death Stalker G Level 11 Hostile Poison Deactivation Attribute Reduction Drop:????

A giant sasori with a whole body covered in armor-like armor, about three times the body of an adult - whose tail tries to set a target for Mr. Couzelka, who walks at high speeds.

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Alicht" activates "Assist" Target: "Kuselka" and "Hosrow"

· "Alicht" activates "Supported Defense 1" Target: "Kuselka" and "Hosrow"

· "Alicht" launches "Supporting Attack 2" Supporting Details: "Force Shoot Stan"

· "Death Stalker G" activates "Poison Blaster" Target: "Kuselka"

· "Couselka" activates "Spin Defend" Disable "Poison Blaster"

"Ha...!

Mr. Kuselka rotates his sword to fog poison fluids released like jet water streams from the tail of a sasori - not just received with a sword, a defensive skill that consumes magic.

"- Hosrow!"

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Hoslow" activates "Power Charge" "Death Stalker G" hits Confusion Knockback in progress Stan

"Ohhhh!

"- Giggle!"

Mr. Couzelka flies to the side while Mr. Hoslow sets up a fierce tackle and blows a giant sasori wide open.

"This extra effect... Atobe, is that your skill...!

"- I'll push you outside at once...!

"Huh...!

Elitia and Theresia pop up and roll out 'Slashripper' and 'Azure Slash' - because of their attributes in 'Azure Slash', the attack hardly passes, but is aimed at knocking back and sending out enemies outside the building.

"Elitia, Theresia, 'Support'!

◆ Current situation ◆

-Alicht launches Supporting Attack 1

· "Elite Tier" activates "Slashripper" Target: "Death Stalker G"

· 'Theresia' activates' Azure Slash 'Target:' Death Stalker G '

· "Death Stalker G" changes to "Devil Scorpion Structure" Confusion, removes Stan Defense against Front Rises Defense against Rear

· Death Stalker G counter activated

(- What did you do... if you attack like this...!

"- In Zone V and above, attack 'when you can definitely attack'"

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Couselka" activates "Active Feint" Target: "Death Stalker G"

· Counter of "Death Stalker G" Target: "Couselka"

· "Kuselka" activates "Stream Wolf Smoke" Dodges "Death Stalker G" counter 2x Attack when counterattacking

"Become...!?

――

A 'Death Stalker' who was about to fight back against Elitia and Theresia changed his target and rolled out his tail needle - at that time he drew the enemy's aim to himself and made him try to dodge it.

"Captain, please leave your share... Huh!

- Follow them, Hoslow.

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Alicht" activates "Assisted" and "Supported Attack 1" Target: "Kuselka" and "Hoslow"

· "Kuselka" activates "Sword Rain" 12-step hit on "Death Stalker G" Double hit support damage 156

· "Slashripper" hits Death Stalker G "Support Damage 13

· "Elite tier" additional attack activated Hit support damage to "Death Stalker G" 13

· 'Azure Slash' hits' Death Stalker G 'Knockback Small Magic Burn

· "Hoslow" activates "Burst Shoulder" "Death Stalker G" Hits Battlefield Leaving Support Damage 13

The speed of Mr. Couzelka's moves seemed to flow exactly - the slaughter poured with a silver sword pierces the 'Death Stalker' like rain and sharpens its armor.

Ms Hoslow blew heavily where she had collapsed from the later Elitian and Teresian attacks with a slow but immensely powerful bump from her shoulder. I temporarily exit from this battlefield, not in the dimension of knockback.

"- Mr. Atobe, he's not finished yet! I'll take care of this place, head to the East End!

"We'll be rushing soon too! If you encounter 'Named', don't force it!

"You may not be able to say that in some circumstances...... I'll try to be us! Let's go, guys!

'Ha!!

Run out of the guild's entrance and head east. Explorer and Guildsaber are engaged in a mess - the building walls are melted in "Poison Blaster," the sasori tail needle is protruded and the cobblestone is turned up.

Not realizing that Sasori had taken the 'Devil Scorpion Standings', some were blown away by bathing in the counter, but shortly afterwards the 'Death Stalker' takes a concentrated fire from a distance and the smokescreen rises. However, it is not effectively hit by attribution reduction, and the sasori that pops out of the smoke begins to wield fierceness again.

"" Giggle......!!

"This... what, are you sure everyone's gonna be okay...?

I couldn't answer Masaki's query right away, letting him breathe out as he ran.

There was also a spectacular phase of "Stampede" in the Eighth Ward, but the dimensions are too different. The unity of a giant sasori has high breakthroughs and defenses, equipped with attacks that correspond to close and long distances, and does not sink easily even in the total attack of an eight-member party.

"- You guys head for the other street! As it were, they would break into districts with a lot of non-combatants!

"Huh... ok! Good luck to you all!

"Whoa... fuck you!

If this positional relationship, we can even help you pass by - with "Assr Assist".

(those two men and one woman...... will it work......!?

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Alicht" activates "Assist" Target: "Marcus," "Genji," "Liz"

· "Alicht" launches "Supporting Attack 2" Supporting Details: "Force Shoot Stan"

· 'Alicht' activates' Supporting Collaboration 1 '

· "Marcus" activates "Hammer Swing" "Death Stalker 22" hits Stan Concussion Added Collaborative Technique 1st Step

· "Genji" activates "One Hand Flat Penetration - Two Series" Two Stage Hit on "Death Stalker 22" Hard Time Extended Collaborative Techniques Second Stage

-Liz activates Delay Snipe Death Stalker 22 Hits Delay Disabled Stiff Time Extended Collaborative Technique Third Stage

· Cooperative moves "Hammer flat poke delay" stiff time extended concussion reinforced

"GREECHHHHHHH......!!

A skinhead guild saber wields a battle hammer (warhammer) to lift a scissors scissors, and a swordsman with a straight sword taps into a series of punches, plus a crossbow bolt pierces. Unsurprisingly, the sasori stepped on his feet as he spilled venom from his mouth.

"Oops!? I don't know what it is, but it's like a Special Attack... Wow...!

"Someone came by and supported me......!? Thanks!"

"And anyway, here's your chance... we're gonna roll up here!

I think we could have increased the damage as well, but the Stan effect has been extended and the 'Death Stalker' movement has stopped. Plus the Marcus and the three other party members attacked to grant a state anomaly, and their wins were beginning to be visible.

"Lord Atobe, you were brilliant. I didn't expect you to succeed in this short time…"

"Yeah, because I knew Stan was valid."

But 'azar assist' consumes a lot of magic - it's also hard to drink potion while running. In the future, in some cases, it may be necessary to acquire 'back-order' skills and have them share their magic powers with their peers.

I look down on the map of District Five that I showed on my license - I see a red dot up front, but is this the demon headed toward a non-combatant district? They travel fast enough to doubt their eyes, but sometimes they stop because they are engaged or because they are attacking residents?

"Soon we will receive our enemies, too, but how is the operation?

"If I could see it from a distance, I'd manage to stun it with me or Suzuna's attack before 'Poison Blaster' flies in. After that, the avant-garde attacks as usual, but if the enemy takes the 'Devil Scorpion Standing', Mr. Serafina should attack with a shield. That way I can turn back while preventing the counter. That setup consolidates the forward defense, but the rear defense seems to be thinner."

"Got it...... Huh!

I haven't seen all the demonic means of attack called 'Death Stalker' yet. We can't be alarmed at all if we find effective tactics - not only because we have to deliver results in District Five, but because we all have to be safe.
