154. Waste Incinerator (1)
The meeting point Forrest said was a closed garbage incinerator outside Area W.
It is said that this is an ambitious public facility built by a city council member from District W.
He said that he planned to secure the finances of the district by disposing of not only the waste in the W area but also the garbage in other areas.
In fact, even in the early days of the construction of the incineration plant, the plan met and it was said that it played a major role in securing the budget.
Garbage is always a problem…
However, a problem arose shortly thereafter.
The huge smoke and stench generated during the incineration process caused fatal inconvenience to nearby residents, and a demonstration to close the incinerator took place shortly thereafter.
A city council member who invested a considerable amount of money and received advance payments from other districts tried to maintain the incinerator somehow,
Residents learned that the smoke from the incinerator would make them sick, and protested even more fiercely, and a war broke out between city councilors and local residents shortly thereafter.
Residents attacked the incinerator workers and sent them to the hospital, and without losing even the city councilor, they secretly hired the police as well as the Pink Man to suppress the protests.
Of course, the series of processes is quite noisy and known throughout Landa, and the real estate market and image of District W plummeted.
It has contributed greatly to the slums it is today.
By the time the incinerator was restarted by barely suppressing the protests, the Spatial School had entered the garbage industry and was pushed out of competition, unable to recover half of the original incinerator construction and shut it down.
In this way, the incinerator did not even fulfill its original role and remained as a symbol rather than a symbol of the W area.
“By the way, is Wallace in a place like this?”
Oliver, who had come with Joe, Sam, and Owen, asked Arthur.
Behind Arthur’s back stood the people he had seen at the ditch the other day.
A woman with a silk hat armed with a magic gun, a man with mechanical arms and goggles, a man with exoskeleton gloves, etc.
Everyone seemed well prepared.
“Yes, I heard it from a trusted source. I heard that the director of the crime firm in this district helped out.”
Crime Firm Director. Murphy knew.
He is the co-head of Landa’s crime-firm branch, and said that, like city councilors, there is one in one or two districts.
They are the giants of the world behind Landa, and their influence is said to extend throughout the United Kingdom.
“I don’t understand, why is the director of the Crime Firm helping the remnants of the Liberation Army?”
“Rebel.”
“Yes?”
“I’ve felt it for a long time, but it’s a wrong expression. It’s called the Liberal Army. The rebels are the correct term.”
Arthur, an ex-military, skipped that part out of sync with the flow of the story.
Actually, it wasn’t that strange. Whatever it was, he was also a soldier who fought for the United Kingdom. Rather, it could be said that it was natural.
Oliver asked, correcting.
“…why is the director of the Crime Firm helping the remnant of the Kell rebels?”
“Well, there’s a story here that Isa is from Northland.”
“Northland?”
“Yeah, there are quite a few Northers coming down south from their poor hometown. Anyway, the main business of moving here is smuggling with Northland, and they mainly dealt with high-quality illegal potions, scrolls, and black magic items. I went up to that position with that business, so I said everything.”
“…are you saying that the Kell rebels and Isa were dealing with each other?”
“Well, I don’t know the details. However, it is not impossible. The Kell Rebels need something to trade with to get money, and there are always people who want to take a little risk and get something good.”
Oliver nodded in agreement. This city certainly rolls with that feeling.
power and profit.
“Then, is there any chance that the Crime Firm can help?”
“That is impossible. Our broker found out, and it was confirmed that the situation was the situation, so we only provided a place to rest and left the rest. Seriously, if you get caught for helping the rebels, you get caught under the treason law. It’s not something that can be settled with a bribe or two. There will never be any outside intervention. right. Macbore?”
Arthur turned and looked at his comrade with mechanical arms and goggles, and asked.
He put on a large telescope-like machine over his goggles and looked around.
“I think so, there are only about forty people in the incinerator, and there are no other people around except those who are presumed to be beggars.”
Forty or so, it seemed like a good enough number to try.
Arthur’s manpower was twelve, all equipped with the latest equipment with the support of the city, and Oliver’s side was also useful in its own way.
Of course, Kell’s Free Independence Army personnel wouldn’t be too shabby either, but it seemed like a good enough thing to do.
Oliver asked Arthur.
“May I ask what the plan is? I know that Arthur is in charge of conducting the field.”
“right. Thank you for your willingness to accept.”
“No, I’m not good at conducting things, so it’s okay. What’s more work than that?”
Arthur pointed straight to McVor with goggles and mechanical arms.
He took out of his bag four clay figures resembling birds.
Judging from the form in which magical energy was flowing, it looked like a golem.
“Macbore will stir the inside with that golem first. Not great, just throwing a few grenades and shooting guns. Still, it’ll be enough to get you distracted.”
Oliver nodded.
“Then, I and Richard and others will be at the forefront and enter at once. Then, Dave, let me sweep you away with powerful firepower.”
Oliver nodded.
After disturbing the golem, dig into it with a high-defense manpower, and swept it with powerful firepower.
It was a simple, yet effective method.
“After that, each of us will fight. Even if I ask you to cooperate more than this, your hands and feet won’t fit anyway. Do you have any problems?”
Oliver looked at Joe’s party. They nodded their heads to see if they understood enough.
“·····There is not.”
“Okay then, let’s start.”
***
With Arthur’s declaration, the operation began.
According to Arthur’s words, the first move is Macbore.
Wearing mechanical arms and goggles, he flew four bird-golems.
The bird-golem flew down with the power of magical power, descended in the middle of the incinerator, and then bang! bang! The sound of a bomb exploding was heard.
“great! All melee fighters, including Richard, are in charge formation!”
At Arthur’s call, Richard, wearing exoskeleton armor, pulled out a shield and a huge sword, and stood at the vanguard, while the melee fighters wearing iron cloaks formed a V-shaped formation.
Starting with the exoskeleton armor, the magic contained in the steel cloak slowly moved, and the blue magic particles gathered together to form a translucent magic shield.
I remember the security guards using something like this when they broke into Mattel’s basement.
“With this, unless it’s a cannonball or similar firepower magic, you can stop everything. Dave.”
Oliver nodded and stood right behind the vanguard with Joe and the rest of the range, followed by the rest of the ranged support personnel.
Arthur exclaimed when the formation was ready.
“Then, let’s get to work, guys!”
Richard, wearing exoskeleton armor, increased the output of the armor and rushed straight ahead.
Pussuk-! Pussuk-! Wow hey hey hey!!
He ran forward with a mechanical sound, and the rest of the manpower followed him around him.
As they entered the incinerator, a machine turned into a lump of metal or a pile of illegally dumped rubbish blocked their way, but Richard wielded a huge knife close to a blunt weapon and went straight ahead, breaking down obstacles as well as walls.
Looking at the torn drum, it seemed that more than ten people could cut it into pieces at a time.
bang-!! Whoops! Pava-Puck!!
As they rushed forward, breaking down small obstacles, the remnants of the Kell Freedom and Independence Army came into sight.
They looked cluttered because of the sudden intrusion of a bird-golem, but when Richard checked it out, he was stunned.
“It’s an intruder!”
That didn’t mean he didn’t respond. When they saw Richard who appeared while breaking the wall, the enemies all turned their guns at once.
“Shield deployment!”
Close combatants including Richard immediately increased the output of the equipment to increase the strength and range of the shield.
“Dave!”
“Yes.”
Simultaneously with the answer, Oliver strengthened the warlock’s vision.
As the world turns dark, the ordinary person’s vision blurs, and emotions begin to become clearer instead.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not only those in front of us, but also those who are beyond the wall or far away.‘Well·····. I’m preparing something.’
Oliver cast a targeting magic at the enemies, then made a black dart with a las boom with one hand and threw it into the air.
The black mass of emotions turned into countless blades in the air, and each flew towards the target in a deformed curve.
aa!! A small explosion occurred as soon as the sharp piercing sound hit the target.
pop! Puff-! bang!!
A small but accurate explosion. Numerous screams resounded, and the enemies were thrown into confusion.
As the firing stopped momentarily, Arthur stretched his golem arm forward just in time.
The large amount of magical energy flowing inside the golem’s prosthetic arm rapidly increased, gathered in a single point, and then fired as it was.
The magic laser flew in a straight line and caused extensive damage to the surroundings.
With him, the shield disappeared, and Richard and other melee combat personnel and Joe’s party charged as they were and began to engage in close combat with the enemies.
Richard pushed in with his colleagues and wielded a huge sword to cut through the enemies, and Joe and his party teamed up to defeat the enemies.
Sam supported him with his dual pistols, and Owen broke down obstacles and enemies with an iron stick, among which Joe’s performance stood out the most.
He gave his body black magic to increase agility, and then wrapped his fist around the black armor that Oliver had taught him, and crushed the enemies.
To some extent, even when a disease-related warlock swelled his body almost twice as much as he jumped, Joe’s outstretched fist was enough to hit the wall with a single blow.
bang-! Kwagwang!!
Pretty impressive scene.
Sam and Owen, as well as Arthur’s side, paused for a moment and looked surprised.
“Oh, that’s great.”
Arthur, who blows his golem’s prosthetic arm to smash the enemy, and breathes flames with his opposite hand, said with genuine admiration.
“Honestly, he’s a friend I decided to work with because of you, but he’s pretty good at it. It makes my job a lot easier.”
That was true.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Not only Joe’s party, but Arthur’s melee fighters were pushing each other to crush the Kell Free Independence Army,The long-distance fighters, including the silk-hat woman, climbed up each building and occupied an advantageous position.
In addition to checking the enemies with normal firearms, they attacked more than heavy weapons with magic guns, inflicting serious damage to the enemies.
was pushed unilaterally. At least on the surface.
“Even the enemies don’t seem to have given up.”
Oliver said, looking at the emotional state of his enemies.
It was true that I was embarrassed and afraid, but it didn’t seem like I gave up on everything.
Rather, it was waiting for something.
Arthur nodded as if in agreement.
“That’s right. It’s pushed, but it’s not collapsing. I’m trying to pass the time somehow. Wallace is an excellent wizard, so maybe he’s preparing something. A skilled wizard doesn’t know what he’ll do with just a little bit of time.”
That was then. A beep sounded from the communication device in Arthur’s front pocket.
[ah. oh Leader.]
Beep- Arthur answered, pressing the communicator.
“Macbore. What’s up?”
[The rebels are running inside the incinerator.]
“That, I know. They are pushing.”
[Push faster. Trying to start the incinerator.]
“Incinerator?”
[Yeah, didn’t Wallace call it the Elemental School, also the Agni Small School? Even if it absorbs the firepower of the incinerator, it hurts my head.]
Agni school.
I remember seeing it in a bounty document.
As one of the small schools belonging to the Elemental School, it was said to be a school that specializes in fire magic.
Although it feels somewhat weakened now, it was a school with a long and strong tradition, engaged in various activities in both warfare and industry.
Arthur exclaimed, radiating annoyance.
“Does that make sense?! This incinerator has been closed for over 10 years, hasn’t it?”
[How do I know? What I checked is that the machine is running now. Now- Pot!! Cheeky supportive!! now! I’m sorry, I just hit the last golem. Sorry, I can’t do anything more than this.]
“Damn it!”
Arthur was genuinely annoyed.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand. If the incinerator is really operating, and if it absorbs its firepower, there is nothing burdensome.
There was a gap between the power of magic and the sky and the earth depending on how it used the surrounding environment.
Oliver to understand the situation, said Oliver.
“Is it dangerous if I go on like this?”
“right! I can’t help it. We have no choice but to go inside as quickly as possible.”
“Then I’ll go inside first, Arthur, so please bring the people and come as soon as possible.”
“what?”
Instead of answering Arthur’s question, Oliver put on a black suit and applied additional black magic.
The translucent black shroud that wrapped around the body turned dark and began to draw high output at the same time.
Inspired by teaching Joe, the black suit’s structure was improved, and the efficiency seemed to be much better than before.
‘Hold the main line with a thick thread and secure flexibility by connecting the periphery with a dense thread… Write it down.’
In that state, Oliver concentrated the dark magic energy on his legs and ran forward and jumped.
He jumped up the second floor of the building at once, climbed the wall as it was, and quickly dug into the center of the incineration device.
A few enemies shot in the way, but it seemed difficult to hit Oliver, who was moving fast from high places.
So Oliver leisurely dug into the center of the incinerator.
When we arrived at the center, we saw a dozen people there preparing the machines to operate.
I don’t know much about the machine, but it seems that part of the abandoned incinerator was somehow operated.
To be honest, I had never met a flame wizard and wondered what to do with it, but Oliver decided to put his work first.
I chanted after extracting emotions in my hands.
