"Oh, oh, it looks like these kids are still working hard. Although it was a bit tricky in the end, how to say it, it can probably be given fifty points? Speaking of a hundred out of a perfect score, fifty points is not bad, and why do humans use 100 to make a full score, obviously we still have numbers like 5, 10, 1000, etc., but it turns out to be 100, and I always like integers, sure enough, for the convenience of calculation, but if the calculation is convenient, 10 points are obviously easier to calculate than 100 points, this is ......"

"Shut up ......"

Unnourishing fragments and cold interruptions.

With the snap of the folding fan and the bones of the fan, a cloud of mist suddenly dispersed in the middle of the originally chaotic battlefield, and two figures seemed to move instantly, appearing on the originally empty battlefield.

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up. Speaking of which, your fog manipulation skills are getting stronger and stronger, and we are obviously here, but none of them have noticed it! And the bullet can pass through our body, this is just a bunker, I said, with this technology, isn't it that any sword fighter or something can't hurt you, what sword emperor, what seven pillars, can't hurt you, then you have a lot of ways to fight back, plus your two disgusting I mean cool Shikami, it's ......"

"I said, shut up......"

"Okay, you're so boring."

"And...... It's not that no one has noticed. Didn't you notice......"

"Huh? Are you trying to show that those guys are 'human' too? ”

The two were the mysterious people who had been chatting on the roof of the IBC building late at night. An indifferent man in a kimono [Phantom] and a man who likes to have broken thoughts and riding a small dragon on his shoulder before. It's just that the lizard-like little dragon didn't lie on his shoulder today.

At this moment, the man of broken thoughts pointed to one side of the forest, which was a strange gesture, because there was only endless green and brown on that side.

However, with the small talk of the two people, the soldiers wearing black helmets and black armor and holding heavy machine guns maintained an encirclement formation and pressed towards them.

"Hmph, is it because Fafergnan is not here that he is so bold? Oops, hey, I didn't expect that Fafergnan would scare that stupid big man, so I didn't bring the result, but was underestimated......"

The man smiled, his eyes full of anger.

"Haha, I didn't think about it that much. If the lizard is there, we'll get rid of it together. ”

In the darkness, a small man suddenly appeared, wearing a suit and a turban, with a faint smell of herbs on his body, and holding a strangely shaped guiding weapon that could barely be called a spear.

It is the weapon developed by the Karuman consortium - the guiding spear.

"Are you sure we won't bring the 'dragon' here?"

As he spoke, the phantom opened his hands with a snap, and almost at the same time, a thin mist enveloped everyone, not very concentrated, and did not block the vision.

And the man with broken thoughts strode back and said, "I'm sorry, if Fafergnan is not there, my combat power will not be able to exert my combat power, so it's okay to leave it to you alone, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"Wait."

The battle was about to begin, and the man in the turban, Mussel, suddenly interrupted: "Don't you report your name first?" I am Mussel Gerald, Executive Minister, of the Karumen Consortium. The nickname is Hurricane. ”

“…… The snake that devours the body belongs to, the executor is an alternate, [Phantom]. ”

"Together, Executor XX, [Dragon of Judgment]. Telling you the code name is enough, right? ”

"Ah, that's enough. Next, it's time for the 'Hell of a Life'! Two one-way tickets, of course. ”

With Mussel's voice, the heavy fire encirclement of thirty people surrounded the two of them and fired a volley of furious bullets.

And what's weird is ......

The bullets hit without exception, and without exception they missed.

How so?

As if the phantoms and dragons of judgment simply didn't exist there.

The bullet sped away, passing through the human body that seemed to be there, and then continued unhindered.

It was as if it weren't the usual bones and flesh that made up these two people, but fog.

Did you hit it, or did you miss it? In short, looking at the appearance of the two people unscathed, it should be regarded as a miss. Behind the phantom, the fog grew thicker, as if it was using the thick fog to generate a body, and the monster made of the fog showed its hideous minions on the fog-filled battlefield.

"There's no need to dwell on it here. Walk. ”

The phantom said simply, patting the Judgment Dragon on the shoulder, and suddenly a cloud of mist engulfed the two of them, and when the fog dissipated, the two men and the abandoned armored vehicle of the garrison were gone.

"Cut, it looks like it's going to be beaten, but it just leaves such a strange thing behind?"

Mussel said with regret.

At heart, Mussel is also a battle maniac. If it weren't for the insane, fanatical desire to fight, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the Carumon Consortium for that long.

For some reason, Mussel used his full strength against the demon before, and defeated it before it could react, and it was not too enjoyable at all. And ordinary Warcraft is simply not enough for him. Lanceter is an invincible opponent, he can't win, and no one likes a battle with no chance of winning. Arras is a good opponent, but his personality is too gloomy, and he consciously refuses to communicate with Mussel on weekdays.

Now it was easy to have an opponent who could fight with all their might, and they fled again......

"Forget it, let's just complete the goal, all that's left is to deal with this fog demon?"

Mussel twisted the spear into a beautiful blue band of light and walked towards the formed Fog Beast.

"I'm so angry."

――――――――――――――――――――――

The Medical University of St. Ursla had already received a notice, and as soon as Noelle and the others arrived, more than a dozen nurses immediately surrounded them.

The people who have been fighting all year round know more or less some first-aid common sense, and everyone in the car helped the guards to do simple treatment. Moreover, as soon as they left the Knox Forest, the people who were originally unconscious began to slowly wake up. After ruling out the possibility of their collaboration with the enemy, it can only be said that this is indeed a trick of the enemy.

It is worth mentioning that the testimony of the guards was surprisingly consistent.

I didn't see the enemy, and although there was a mist in the forest, it didn't affect the vision, so it was impossible for everyone to see the enemy clearly.

After taking everyone to the hospital, Noelle immediately drove back to the city.

"I mean, that monster, isn't it going to fly out of Crossbell like that?"

It's about a 30-minute drive from the medical university to the city, and during the ride, Randy half-jokingly stirs up the conversation, hoping to ease the silence.

"You still hope it doesn't fly out......"

You rarely showed a tired expression, he let out a long sigh, as if thinking of something helpless, and shook his head slightly.

"Huh? Why? Isn't it under our control after flying out? ”

Randy spoke of the common sentiments of ordinary citizens.

"Well, if only it were that simple." You sighed and looked at Lloyd.

Lloyd knew he wanted to say something, but unfortunately, this time even Lloyd somewhat agreed with Randy. As a last resort, You turned his gaze to Ellie......

Sure enough, Ellie also had a helpless and heavy expression, noticing that You was looking at herself, and this aspiring girl in politics explained in a depressed voice:

"Because, no matter where you go, it's going to be said to be a 'biological weapon developed by Crossbell', right?"

"Whew! How can this be! ”X4

Noelle driving, a pensive Lloyd, a silent Theo, and a playful Randy exclaimed at the same time.

"It's a pity. That's politics. Do you still remember the huge floating city that appeared in the Liber Mutation? ”

The mutation caused the entire territory of Liber and the borders of the empire to cease to be channeled, and the huge floating city suspended over Liber was the main culprit that caused the two countries to suffer.

According to the thinking of the general public, at this time, it should be the plot of the Erebonian Empire and the Liber Kingdom moving forward hand in hand, working together to fight against the unknown evil forces, and finally achieving great success.

But...... The facts are......

The Erebonian Empire condemned the Kingdom of Liber for developing a new weapon that could trigger the phenomenon of cessation of conduction, and now it is coming to invade Erebonia in order to avenge the Hundred Days War. As a result, the Erebonian Empire once again overwhelmed the border, and because of the phenomenon of stopping the channeling, a large number of steam-powered chariots that had been eliminated by the regular army for many years were used to invade the helpless Liber.

[Note: The Hundred Days War, a war in which the Erebonian Empire invaded the Kingdom of Liber about a decade ago.] In this war, Liber was the first to use a guided airship, and finally defeated the invaders in about a hundred days. Estelle's mother died in the war. 】

"Ah, I remember that was the culprit who caused Liber's mutation, right?"

Lloyd said uncertainly.

As a Crossbellian, it's understandable not to know about Liber.

"Hmm...... It was obviously irresistible, but the Empire had an unpredictable prophet who used the obsolete steam chariots and deployed troops on the border early. Then indiscriminately said that it was Liber's new weapon...... I don't need to say anything more, do I? ”

The words of swimming pierced Lloyd's heart like an awl.

Sure enough, the upright officer had an angry expression on his face.

Lloyd suddenly understood why Yu and Ellie had the same expressions.

Ellie continued to analyze: "If that griffin really escapes, I'm afraid it will cause a very serious international problem. Maybe it will even lead to the fall of Crossbell......"

"Abominable ......"

Randy snorted and slammed his fist into his leg.

Reading the air suddenly heavy, lobbying for a little reassuring words.

"Still, I don't think it went far."
