Volume 2 Chapter 4 Kazad Repair Chaos Chapter 31: Something Ready to Move in the Dark (I)
Under the cloudless clear sky, there are two hobbling figures in the corner of the Dreiser's Rider Academy, the twins Chid and Artie. The two who were scolded by their father Joakim together with their sister were also told by the teacher after returning to the school park.,It's already covered in bruises.。 The two of them looked listless.,Walking in the corridor of the school park, which is known for its vast school space.。
They came out for a walk, and they wanted to just lie down and sleep, relying on the thought that "we had to confirm Al's condition". The two of them, who had squeezed out their last strength, arrived at the workshop of the Riding Gymnastics Department, and as soon as they saw the boss, they rushed forward to ask.
"Silver boy, that guy should be educating the Duke over there...... ahem, explain to the Duke. 」
"...... Ai - Er ......"
The Boss looked at the exhausted twins, who knelt on their knees, with a look that didn't know whether to say pity or sympathy. The two thought that if they came to ask the boss at the beginning, they wouldn't have to make a big deal out of it at all, so they couldn't help but laugh dryly.
"That's it, the boy won't be back for a while. Alas, what an eye-opener. The Duke cried a little at the end......
Listening to the boss touch his beard and speak, the twins did so and answered perfunctorily on the ground. The Boss didn't mind much, just nodded, and went on to explain what had been decided in Kazadexiu. Because he also believes that the twins are involved in the development of new machines, it is necessary to convey these things.
"Oh, just sit down. The new aircraft is currently decided to be managed by Lord Duke. In other words, the new machine development plan will be led by the Duke. We ride and forge engineers to see the progress over there, and it is possible that after graduating halfway, we will be sent directly to the National Machinery Research Institute, or a factory that develops new types of machines. 」
Exhausted, Kid looked up in fright.
"Boss, are you going to leave soon?"
He couldn't hide the loneliness in his voice. For Chid and Artie, the seniors of the Riding Gymnastics Department are different from their classmates and playmates, they are not only partners in the same struggle, but also as big brothers. When I heard that they were leaving, I was somewhat shocked.
"I'm going to graduate next year, don't put that on that face. 」
The Boss poked Kidd on the head, trying to shake the sentimental atmosphere away, but the dwarven fist's power was beyond imagination and Kidd rolled back.
As Artie gradually distanced herself from the boss, he cleared his throat and returned to the topic.
"Ah—there's one more thing I have to say. The boy didn't come back because the ...... was arguing over how to deal with the teenager. 」
"Dispose of ...... El?"
"That's right. Although the guy said that he wanted to stay in the school until he graduated,But to be honest,The situation simply doesn't allow for this.。 We are working hard to develop new types of aircraft, but our "qualifications" are different. It was impossible for him to remain in class as he was. 」
It took a moment for their heads to understand what the boss was saying. I just heard that the boss was leaving, and the news I heard now was very important, which made the twins' faces gradually turn blue.
"Huh...... Ah, Ah, boss, does it mean that Al is also going to the National Machinery Research Institute?"
"Will ...... El go away!?"
It's a future they never thought of. Because of the advent of the new machine, it is not clear whether they will become knights or not, but they have always thought that they will be with Al until they graduate. This is not wishful thinking, after all, they are also like-minded classmates. Today, however, the situation has changed dramatically, hindering the path of the future that is rightfully secured. The impactful content caused the twins to bow their heads and fall silent. The Boss was trying to stop them, when they to
Kid jerked his head up, exuding a resolute momentum.
"I decided. Now go find Al right away. 」
Chid's whisper made the Boss and Artie look surprised and turned to him.
"Bastard, how much effort do you think it will take? How can you just go! And the boy will come back sooner or later, so don't be in a hurry......
"I don't care! I'm going to go to him now!!Ask him face to face!!I don't want him to stay there like this!!"
The sudden anger of the usually lazy Chid makes others understand that her mind has been decided.
"Calm down, you're going to that far away place?"
"There's a Phantom Armor! With that, you can run faster than a horse!!"
Seeing Artie raise his fist like this, the boss couldn't help but hold his head and break his head, because he knew that the twins were Al direct disciples, and they were likely to really do what they said. Having said that, the journey to Kazadexiu is not as simple as words, and the movement between the inner kingdom of Verard is already full of crises due to the existence of demonic beasts. Only experienced and well-prepared people are likely to hit the road. No matter how powerful the twins are, this kind of behavior can only be said to be self-sufficient. The boss is trying in every possible way to stop them from coming.
But what stopped the agitated twins was a calm voice coming from behind.
"Of course I can't let you go. 」
Edgar immediately grabbed the two of them by the arm, forcing them to stop.
"Senior Edgar!?Let me go!"
"No, you two listen, the journey to Kazadeshu is dangerous! Even if there is an illusion armor—no matter how extraordinary your skills are, you will not be allowed to go. I know how ...... you feel, but now we have to wait. 」
The two of them finally still had the sanity not to draw their wands. Edgar grabbed the arms of the two of them, and without strengthening the magic, he couldn't break it with the strength of a child, and it turned out to be a kick power contest with a grab and a push. Hyvet and Dietrich, who walked in from behind them, looked at them with embarrassed expressions.
"......By the way, Dee, that guy hasn't fixed it yet, has he?"
In the awkward atmosphere of heated arguments in the workshop, this untimely and relaxed speech suddenly sounded. Under everyone's gaze, he smiled childlike and pointed behind him with his chin. Although everyone in the audience showed surprised expressions as they changed their words, they still turned their heads in the direction he pointed.
In front of me, the Phantom Knight maintenance table at the end of the workshop sat a half-assembled body. It is constructed with rope-shaped crystalline muscles, and is equipped with only one armored body, with an uninstalled exterior hanging around the perimeter. One of them reacted particularly strongly to the "crimson" armor.
"It's Guyer, I remember that halfway through the assembly you went to Kazad to repair it. Oh, it's about to be completed...... Uh, boss, isn't the construction of the new machine being put under the Duke's control, and is it currently suspended? What are you going to do?"
Its rider Dietrich, his face changed from joy to bewilderment, and his expression was quite changeable.
"Oh, I won't make new ones, but it's not a pleasure to give up halfway through the cultivation to this point. I can only finish this guy. 」
Dietrich asked happily, and the boss kept nodding in explanation. The others ignored the two in a harmonious atmosphere, and became more and more confused.
"The new machine is managed by Lord Duke, so it can't just be left in Lesia. You can't trouble the Duke because of this little thing, so we'll have to take it, right?"
Dietrich's expression was fixed on the smiling face, while Edgar and Hevi, who were slowly beginning to understand what the boss wanted to say, showed very complicated expressions.
"It's too unreliable to let Gouyère go on the road, Edgar will also come with Earl Camber, and we will pull out the carriage by the way, after all, it may need to be repaired on the way, and maybe we will have to let the extra passengers sit somewhere. 」
Knowing what was being said, Kid and Artie looked at the boss with wide eyes. The boss's face, buried under his beard, deftly bent into a smile.
"Hey, boss, you don't have to pamper them like this if you want to help these two people. 」
"Oh, I'm not for them, it's 'just going over there.'" It's just that something could go wrong. 」
Hearing this, Edgar shrugged his shoulders unbearably. The boss was completely stubborn, this was simply pampering the twins, right?, but he just swallowed back with a wry smile.
"Hey- I didn't expect you to be so nice to a child, boss. 」
"Hmph, it's my compatriots who have swung the mallets together, the dwarves won't ignore the difficulties of their compatriots...... the boys are their friends, right?
The Boss puffed out his chest in a puffed up, and they could only smile bitterly back. Although Edgar strongly stops the twins, he also understands that they suddenly hear that they are going to be separated from their friends and want to do something for them. Although this action was very "deliberate", he made himself understand the importance of speaking and let go of the twins' hands.
The two children happily touched the boss's thick fist with their small fists. This picture warmed the hearts of the maintenance team who listened to their noisy noise. They then chatted with their sleeves and jerked into action.
"The exterior is roughly finished in Hachijo! 」
"The details can probably be appropriated for backup. The crane came over, and the installation action was fast!"
The atmosphere of relaxation in the last second disappeared, and the workshop regained some of the vitality of iron and flame, and began to operate beyond the usual. Against the backdrop of the noise of the pulleys, the crisp sound of a hammer hitting the metal overlaps. After all kinds of activities in this period of time, the craftsmanship of the maintenance class has reached a higher level. Under their skillful hands, the Red Phantom Knight was close to completing his posture.
"...... woo, do you really want to take Guyair away? It's been repaired with great difficulty...... shouldn't I just ask Kazadexiu to hire me? 」
"Dee, that ...... cheer up. 」
In the steaming workshop, Dietrich was the only one who watched with mixed feelings as the red body was assembled step by step.
After receiving the notification of the attack of the demonic beast and the wolf smoke, the Vermilion Rabbit Knights rushed to the village of Dagne, which was located in the wolf smoke. The formation consisted of one squadron of Gadatoya (nine), plus one squadron of ten of Commander Cadiaria. Also used for relatively close distances, they allow Phantom Riders to run at extraordinary speeds.
The villages of the Kingdom of Verard have walls against monsters. However, due to various factors, it is not possible to build a completely surrounding wall, and most villages only have a specially reinforced wall in the center, and a very small fortress is built in it to store food and other supplies. When attacked by demonic beasts that humans cannot defeat, they take refuge in the fortress and raise wolf smoke to wait for the knights stationed nearby to come to their rescue.
Although these fortresses are small, they can be said to be the last line of defense for the villagers, and they are built strongly. It's just that this time the wolf smoke is red-the notification of the attack of the dueling-level demonic beast. In the face of monsters that the Phantom Knight, the strongest weapon of mankind, can compete with, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will not be able to withstand it for a long time. The Knights suppressed their anxiety and hurried to the village of Dagne.
There are a considerable number of dueling-level demonic beasts in the country, and disasters are also heard from time to time, so attacks are not uncommon. However, when the knights of the Vermilion Rabbit Knights arrived in Dagne Village, the number of demonic beasts there was not one or two—there were at least more than ten dueling-level demonic beasts around the village, and a considerable number of medium-sized and lower-level demonic beasts had gathered. The whole village seems to have become a paradise for monsters.
The sight chilled and incomprehensible the mounted troops who had been on reconnaissance in advance. They saw all kinds of demonic beasts such as armored bears, blunt dragons, and flame dancing tigers. Each of these monsters inhabits the vicinity, but each has its own territory and does not act together. It's unbelievable how they can congregate here, and each of them is in a state of maneuver, and you can even see individuals fighting each other.
The reconnaissance team cautiously advanced, and in it they found something that could never have happened. What leaped into their view was the terrible destruction of the impregnable wall protecting the inhabitants, and an armored bear sticking its head into the fortress as if to feast on "something". As soon as the squadron leader piloting Cadialia received the report from the reconnaissance unit, he decisively gave the order.
"All the team, head at full speed towards the center of the village. Take the Covenant Formation and defeat all the monsters that stand in your way. Once you arrive, you will do your best to protect the fortress!!"
It can already be said that it is a suicidal act to rush into the center surrounded by demonic beasts, but there is no opposition between the riding exercises, but a strong and powerful promise is heard. The troops formed at an astonishing speed, stowing their shields and taking up their mage armor and sword. Rather than defending, they intend to force their way through with their attacking power. At the command of the squadron leader, the squadron began to assault.
The running giant's footsteps roared like thunder, noticing that their monster was drawn over. Gadatoya's Flame Rifle, a magical suit wielded, glowed with tactical-level magic, and blasted away those monsters mercilessly as soon as it was seen. They struck like they were chasing their own magic bullets, and they made the shortest path to the center.
Warcraft have a numerical advantage, but they're not all concentrated in one place. A squadron of Phantom Knights forced back the Demon Beast in a dense formation and rushed to the fortress in one go.
The rumbling explosions around it finally alerted the armored bear that had stuck its head into the fortress, and it slowly raised its head. Disturbed by the interruption of "eating", it turned around with a dissatisfied roar - and thus missed the opportunity to fight. A thunderous roar struck it and then turned its head, and a whole group of knights fired their flaming spears at the same time, and swarmed up at lightning speed.
"Die!
Cadialia, who played as the striker of the Covenant formation, did not slow down, and the encouragement that was superior to Gadatoya's momentum was sharp, and he raised his spear and stabbed it.
Despite its carapace-like hardened skin, the armored bear is still no match for the menacing Cadiaria. This shot beautifully stabbed the armored bear in the head, penetrating the skin and cutting the flesh and bones, killing the armored bear with one blow. Kadialia, who didn't slow down in the slightest, just collided with the armored bear's corpse.
In order to protect the squadron leader who solved the Warcraft beautifully, the other Gadatoya quickly changed their formation, blocking the wall of the hole with a half-yuan formation, exuding a resolute momentum that would not let anyone pass. The remaining demonic beasts smelled the blood of the armored bear, became even more ferocious, and rushed desperately. Gadatoyab confronted the advancing tsunami.
The first wave of assault successfully reduced the number of Warcraft, and the squadron was almost equal to Warcraft in number, but they were facing a great crisis when they rushed into the Warcraft group. The assault just now had drastically drained their mana reserves, reducing their means of attack. The mana converter wails and makes a breath making sound to produce mana, but it can't chase the speed of the mech in order to dodge the fierce attacks of the demonic beasts.
