A cup of coffee, a newspaper, and Richardson, who had placed them on the table, got up from his chair and walked out of the room.

The current location is a room in the soldier's base, and there is a world map hanging on the wall, and many of the locations are specially marked with the 'X' symbol, but all the symbols are crossed horizontally with black markers.

Richardson, who didn't pay attention to this, opened the door, and after the soldiers in the corridor heard the sound and stopped and motioned for them to continue their work, Richardson checked the time again.

Well, it's time to assemble.

He made his way through the hallways, through the connected areas with many levels, using many people ID cards with different permissions and effects, and he hoped that he could improve them in the future and make things easier.

However, although this method is actually very clumsy, it can bring good results in defending against foreign invasions.

Duplicate certifications require multiple confirmations, and if someone notices something wrong on the way, they can prepare in advance and draw up a plan to solve the problem.

Leaving the building and coming to the square, the soldiers who belonged directly to Gu Wu practiced as usual, and they could see that a lot of supplies were being transported from the helicopter.

In order to solve the problems that have occurred all over the world before, they have consumed a lot of resources, but fortunately, they have sufficient funds and can replenish them all as soon as possible.

And Richardson's purpose here is precisely because of the 'previous problem'.

Look at the other entrance and exit directly across the square, where a commander is communicating with his troops.

"Good morning, Mr. Richardson, the expatriate troops have been redeployed, and the areas where the problem may have occurred have been normal so far."

"I think so, those abnormal situations shouldn't have happened, in short, the training task after the return of the army will be handed over to you."

"Yes!!"

Bypassing the other party, Richardson entered the floor not far away.

The area had a hive structure, but instead of underground, he was heading to a meeting point on the second floor.

Walking up the stairs, Richardson, who arrived at his destination, grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open, and the sound of other people's conversations broke into his ears at the same time.

"No, no, Sister Tina, we have to do it, and the flowers made of ribbons are more beautiful."

"It's too much trouble...... Just buy this colorful wrapping paper. ”

Two familiar little girls are shopping for items with a tablet.

They are not very old and their personalities are not mature, but their strength and merits are beyond doubt, and it can be said that they can surpass most people in actual combat.

Of course, Richardson knew that Gu Wu didn't want them to fight, and he had the same idea as he had children and granddaughters.

Back to the present......

There were not just two little girls in the room, but a teenager sitting in the corner, and next to him was a quiet man with an eye patch and reading a book.

"Mr. Kaneki, I recently read the book you recommended earlier, and there are a lot of things I don't understand."

"I'll give you the interpretation book later, but please read it before then, Allen-kun."

In addition to them, there are people who have not yet returned, as well as people who run the various cities, although most of these people participate in the rally in the form of projections.

The report had already been reported, and Richardson's reason for holding the rally was more to reconfirm it to those involved and tell them not to worry about it anymore.

After all, the 'monster incident' that broke out in the past made some city managers who lacked combat effectiveness very panicked.

So when Gu Wu himself was on a business trip, Richardson, who was the housekeeper, announced on his behalf, and no one objected to this.

"Good morning, everyone."

"Uncle Richardson, we all know that!"

Picking up Richardson's words, the person who spoke was Louise.

"The monster events and distorted emergencies that used to spread everywhere are gone, right? Martial law can also be ended, and everyone can rest. ”

The anomalous situation is not resolved, but disappears automatically, meaning that the problems of this world are starting to improve.

Since the incident happened gradually after Gu Wu went on a business trip, its disappearance in turn proved that Gu Wu was about to return here.

"That's true, but regular check-ups are still necessary, and I hope everyone is aware of that; In response to the enemy that emerged at that time, our side made a detailed report and research through the information provided by the actual combat video, assuming that ...... However, if you encounter it again, if the type is the same, you can use the same method to destroy it. ”

Monsters that emerge from warped space can also be targeted, and this is clear to everyone.

After saying that, Richardson looked at the people in the room as projections

"In order to better solve the trouble, let's talk about other things, and strive to solve Mr. Gu Wu's troubles to the greatest extent before he returns."

While waiting for Gu Wu, they also looked into the distance.

————

The waiting time is long, so what do the people who are waiting for think?

Some people say that it is also painful to be 'waited', after all, it is easy to make mistakes at this time when you have to carry the expectations that others have placed on you.

Anz thought about this, but he thought that Gu Wu should not be that kind of person.

Because I felt this way when I played before.

Gu Wu was always able to control his strength very well, weakening when he should weaken and strengthening when he should strengthen, perfectly interpreting the drama of conflict between friend and foe, but without burdening each other.

Sure enough, Gu Wu, who is also a traverser, has something special.

However, what Ainz really focuses on is not the strength of the other party, but the 'power to actively travel through space'.

Ainz had used teleportation in this world, and the destination was set in the real world, but it turned out to be useless; So what kind of power does Gu Wu hold to break this limitation? Can that special power really travel to different worlds?

In response to this problem, in fact, the events that are happening in front of us can be proved from the side.

Ambushing Gu Wu's enemies, as if they could foresee the future, they had set traps here in advance, and the magic they created was a 'special barrier' formed through the leylines.

It's not accurate to use 'enchantment', and it can be said that it is another plane made of magic, which is why it is difficult to interfere directly.

However, with the passage of time, the techniques created by a large amount of magic power that originally seemed unbreakable have gradually collapsed, and it has been proved that Gu Wu will not be bound by space.

I'm curious about the future after the cooperation below, so Anz won't let outsiders come and disturb him.

"Miss Altair, a new batch of enemies has appeared in the surrounding area, and most of them will be on the scene in ten minutes, so if you want to stop them, you need to act quickly."

"I understand that, those guys are also magicians?"

"In this world, most of the battles need to use magic, after all, compared to the confrontation of cold weapons, the damage added by the spell can intuitively improve the strength and effect, bringing obvious benefits."

"For magic...... What do you recommend? ”

Altaïr only asked casually, after all, she planned to fight without contact.

This question was answered by Dimiugos

"If you don't know each other, just flank before the investigation is clear."

In response to this, Shatia has a different view

"Crush them straight from the front! Anyway, those guys are just miscellaneous fish that don't enter the stream, and compared to Lord Ainz, it's like heaven and earth apart, so why bother to act cautiously? ”

Except for an assault or an assault, this is Shatia's straightforward tactic.

Albede, looking into the distance, smiled.

"What are you laughing at, Albede."

"I'm just wondering when you're going to use your brain to think about things."

"At least I have, not like you."

"You're hallucinating again."

When Jarbede, who only wanted to be provocative, interacted with Shatia instead of agreeing with each other, Cosetes proposed his own idea

"Lord Ainz, how about a direct long-range strike? As before, it is certain that they can be delayed and left in a mess. ”

"An early attack is really the best option."

Ainz responded, and Altair, who had listened to their conversation, turned to the gaps that had been born in the void again.

These gaps are like cracks torn open by brute force, exuding an ominous aura.

For the sake of concealment, Ainz has set up a technique to eliminate the aura, but as long as the enemy has the heart, under the various problems caused by those gaps, strong magic fluctuations will reveal the location, so that those people can quickly see through the concealment here.

No way, Anz hadn't fought against the torn space so far, and he didn't know if the gap was void or another world, and he wasn't very interested in the answer to that question anyway.

"No need to investigate."

Altaïr rejected the previous proposal for an investigation.

"It's up to me to fight directly against those who rushed over, you can support in the rear, and if you do this, you don't have to worry about your identity being completely exposed, so that everyone in the world knows about your existence."

"I have no reason to support humanity, everything I have done before is for the sake of Lord Ainz!"

Yarbed, who had come to Ainz's side, said this very seriously, and then looked at Ainz with a red face.

Case......

Ainz thought of a trick, and he spoke it.

"I will have my apostle walk with you, and there will be remote support from here when the time comes."

"I see."

With that, Altaïr flew off into the distance, heading towards the new group of enemies, and with him, the apostles that Ainz had just created.

"Okay, before Gu Wu comes out, let's drive away the insects that came to disturb us."

When Altair flew to his destination and locked onto the enemy, a powerful long-range spell strike quickly came.

"Get out of here."

Altaïr whispered, and the music played with the support of Ainz and the others destroyed the ground where a team was advancing, causing a detonation that caused the world to tremble!!

————

It was shaking and trembling.

The sound of fine rubble bouncing off the ground beneath his feet further made the scene noisy.

Lancelot, the boy, and the cowboy joined the remnants of the other traversers, but technically speaking, they were not estranged and still hostile.

That being said, this hostility is now hidden, replaced by 'stopping the invasion of the burning army of bones and ensuring that there is time to win', so cooperation between the two sides is the main means to achieve this goal.

However, since attacking the target will increase the contraction of the world, people who choose to defend completely are naturally in a passive situation.

Lancelot, who was in the middle of it, was constantly hit by the oncoming heat wave, and the sword light of the soul power she released did not cut through the enemy's body, but took the initiative to create cracks and gaps in this empty island, and had the ability to delay the enemy's advance.

"Completely interrupt the magic of the sea of trees! Then unleash an attack towards the earth! Create a special separation zone! In addition, don't use water techniques, block and suppress with earth and stones! It's useless to use water for such a fire! ”

One of the traversers shouted so loudly that he gave his own order.

"Don't be stunned! Take action!! ”

It has to be said that this is the best option, so the large force, including the three of Lancelot, went into action.

Because of the nature of his abilities, the boy could not use his power to hinder the enemy from a long distance, so he could only keep retreating, trying to cooperate with him to let people fly earth and rocks, and use them to cover the flames.

And the cowboy's revolver has a lot of effects, which is enough to adapt to the ever-changing battlefield.

With each bullet, the ravines of the earth are stretched and stretched, leaving the monsters in the air and falling downward.

Every traverser is contributing, even if the number is one-tenth of that of the monsters, but with the blessing of ability, a huge ravine can be easily formed.

It's just that......

"They're coming on flying beasts!! These damn bunch of damn things! ”

"Down! No! It's a catch! With the technique of bondage! We can counter it! ”

"Got it!!"

"The speed begins!!"

All the staff did not relax in the slightest, relying on each other's cooperation to constantly switch tactics to deal with the monsters' changing moves.

And at this moment, everyone at the scene felt a strange shock.

The same goes for the monster army on front, which seems to have slowed down and is not as manic as it used to be.

Behind the crowd......

The distorted space created by the glasses magician's last technique, and Gu Wu who disappeared inside, something must have happened.

Maybe it's a victory, maybe it's a defeat.

No matter what, now they just have to persevere!

Whatever the outcome, this is the final battle!

"Let's get to the end of the speed!!"

Some shouted, some shouted, some were silent, some were nervous, some were flustered.

And everything is brewing in that invisible space.
