59 – Chapter 21. Top Heligan – 1
– 60 –
The place where they flew at the highest possible altitude to avoid the enemy’s pursuit was the Selmeier-Kanael border area in the southeast of Stilon, northeast of Zafir.
A small hill rising between the two countries was a visible indication of the border.
It was past midnight when we arrived at the secret facility located there.
In a wide open space, people slowly moved a rod filled with the magic of light to induce landing.
After landing the main body and escorting the injured Alpha team members, he took the badge and entered the prepared underground bunker.
The soldiers of Canael, including the commander of operations, who were waiting there, greeted them with a smile.
“I am glad that the operation ended safely. You’ll have to put in a little more effort. And… ….”
The operation commander looked at him as if he was in trouble.
“Is something wrong?”
“That’s right, the person on the ‘Emperor’ side requested a connection.”
Why does Master Chromium know about this?
When I thought about it for a moment, it was strange that I didn’t know. You were the one who arranged the tangent with Arumanan in the first place.
If it was a Master Chromium person on this continent, there was a high possibility that it was Yuri Nail.
“Squire?”
“Do you know someone?”
“It’s an acquaintance.”
“Then what will you do?”
I was worried for a while.
Chromium was on the same side as me, so he doesn’t seem to have any intention of harming me, and he indirectly helped me save Sila last time.
Maybe, like last time, we may have to seek the help of the main characters or other outsiders.
“It will be helpful if you call me.”
“I see. So, as soon as the preparations are complete, let’s start purifying the tokens.”
“Do you have anything to eat? I didn’t eat dinner…….”
The operation commander opened his eyes and smiled as if he had heard something unexpected.
“As long as there is combat food, there is enough.”
“Then let’s take a look at Canael’s battle food, shall we?”
The basement of the facility.
One single bed in a large space.
Dangerous weapons were aimed at it all at once.
Unless you are quite mentally strong, no one can sleep peacefully there.
“If the Demon Demon’s token is activated, we will immediately rescue Erif and then launch a volley at the open portal. And we have to take down this building and bring in Selmeier’s forces.”
“Well. Wouldn’t it be better to throw the token into the sea?
“I don’t know what will come out of the token. If the demon’s naval power comes out, it’s like releasing a tank unit in the middle of the city.”
“Oh, I guess.”
I climbed onto the bed where dozens of cannons and guns were aimed.
For some reason, I ate battle food that felt like my last meal.
It didn’t taste as good as what I ate during the Shinma War in the past.
After eating, he took out the demon’s token.
“Then, thank you. If you leave, your Excellency will also go in, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
“You called me because that shouldn’t happen, right?”
“I do.”
The operation commander smiled and stroked his beard.
“Silla. Can I come in with you?”
At my call, Sila appeared from the air.
She sat on the bed and looked at the token of the demon in front of me, then shook her head.
[[[It seems a bit difficult to interfere with the realm of the higher spirits guarding here.]]
“Yes? I can’t help it.”
She took a few deep breaths and spoke to the Canaelites who were watching me nervously.
“I will go.”
As she held her Demon Demon’s token in her hand, she heard her pounding heartbeat as her heart trembled.
My vision was narrow and dark, and I felt all my nerves being concentrated in the hand holding the token.
And my vision went black and my mind moved away from the physical world.
Unlike last time, I didn’t feel like I woke up after fainting.
I came to my senses at some point, so I have to say that I have entered the spirit realm.
I looked around and it was inside the building.
The dark interior was dreary without any furniture, but it was not a half-destroyed building like the last time.
I looked out the window, vigilant about the strangely quiet surroundings.
It was a landscape that was not much different from the last time.
Smoke was rising from all over the collapsed city center, and the sky was covered with dark red clouds.
First, you should check the quest.
I took out the dog tag from my pocket, but unlike the last time, there was a kill mark on one side.
“Oh, what, this.”
Looking at the chariot-shaped kill mark with an anchor in the ground, it was clear that he was the one who killed him last time.
Being curious, I looked at the kill mark and came to my senses.
Now is not the time to be like this.
You must quickly join the allies and defeat the enemy leader.
“AH-XP1 MISFIRE”
When I read the name engraved on the dog tag, the main quest window came to mind.
“Main Quest: Demon’s Token – Army of Fear (Elemental World)
-Goal: To win in air battle (spirit realm)
-Reward: Advanced Fire Spirit ‘Tiran’, 4 Fire Spirit Evolution Stones, 5 High-end Training Books]
“Aerial warfare?”
As if answering my question, I heard the sound of something moving outside the window.
I stood by the window and glanced out to see a tank of the Spirit Army.
It went well. If I reveal my identity and join him…….
At that time, a noise similar to a siren was heard from somewhere.
Why Ae Ae Ae-
Instinctively, at the sound of the noise, he wrapped his arms around his head and fell on his stomach with his stomach off the floor.
Kooung
Soon, with a vibration that shook the ground, a fire broke out outside the window.
I carefully looked out the window as the siren sounded farther away.
The chariot of the spirit army was destroyed and destroyed.
There were no survivors.
“Is it after you’ve already taken over the air?”
Hey, it was just before the demon’s token was detonated, so it was not unusual for a higher spirit to be attacked at any time.
If you don’t move quickly, your allies may be annihilated.
“To what extent is unification possible?”
A mid-level wind spirit came out of the dog tag in response to my question.
“I contacted Arumanan the other day, so everything can be opened in the spirit world. If the captain only implements the armor, he will return to full-body mode.”
“Do you know how to make armor?”
“We don’t know.”
No matter how much I search through my memories, it feels like I just did it, so I can’t get a good feel for it.
“For once, unify all parts.”
“I see.”
The dog tag flashed and seven parts were installed.
“Armor… …. Armor.”
Let’s shout something first.
“Fit!”
“Come out!”
“Armor on!”
“Status window!”
“Armor of silver, protect me according to the covenant!”
No matter how many words I shouted, no armor was created.
“… Let’s just go.”
I went out through the window on the opposite side of the narrow alley, not on the wide street where the tram had exploded earlier.
As I slowly ascended and climbed onto the roof, I could see the whole situation at a glance.
The darkened side and the slightly brighter side.
The range of the forces was about 7:3.
Smoke was rising from all over the bright area.
I looked up and saw black planes flying through the sky.
The sound of sirens and explosions from the enemy dive bombers could be heard in the distance.
The magic fired from the Spirit’s anti-aircraft guns lit up the sky, but the enemy’s air power was too much.
It would not be strange if the headquarters of the Spirit Army exploded even now.
Should go to support quickly.
“By the way, is there no way to use the friend in the drone?”
I asked a question to the subordinate spirit attached to the united parts, but a butterfly-shaped intermediate spirit popped out of the dog tag.
It was a little scary because it was almost the size of my torso.
Insect-specific inorganic eyes are a little… ….
“The drones I control are treated as corps under Erif-sama. If you order them to come out, you can go out right away.”
“Then will you come with me?”
The drone came out with a feeling similar to when the main body was taken out of the dog tag.
I didn’t know it because I couldn’t see it well in the physical world, but the butterfly-shaped spirit was controlling the drone with its wings laid down and covering the top of the drone.
So, a rare scene was created in which butterflies move up, down, left and right without flapping their wings.
I was a little scared.
After watching the battle for a while, the enemy’s plane took advantage of the gap away from the ally’s base, kicked off the roof and jumped into the sky.
Originally, it flew in the refreshing wind, but the air of the spirit world invaded by demons was sticky and unpleasant.
I don’t think this was the case when fighting the Army of Nightmare, maybe it has something to do with the tendencies of the enemies.
“Go upstairs and watch for enemies coming. It’s a bit difficult to get a view here.”
“I see.”
The drone soared high in the sky.
I flew low among the ruins and headed towards the base of the spirits.
It took some time to fly along the alley, but I arrived at the friendly base safely.
The spirits, who looked at me from a distance, waved their arms as if they knew my identity.
When I landed on a suitable vacant lot, the spirits stood around me at an appropriate distance.
The atmosphere is a little strange.
Among them, a mid-level earth spirit who appears to be a veteran approached one step closer.
“Are you General Misfire by any chance?”
“Yes. I’m here to help.”
The spirits were buzzing, and starting with the spirits of the earth that came first, they began to kneel down one by one.
“What are you doing?”
“God has not abandoned us yet. General! Please. Get those wicked bastards out of here.”
Their faces were full of fear and despair.
At that time, the drone that followed me returned from reconnaissance.
When he heard the sound of a drone flying, the spirits who were kneeling on his knees fell to the ground.
“My subordinate.”
“Ah… ….”
The spirits wake up one by one.
When I saw them terrified at the sight of flying objects, something simmered in my chest.
How dare you scare our spirits.
“The main enemy of the enemy is the bombing base? I can deal with that.”
At my words, he guided me to the headquarters in a respectful manner, almost as if I was worshiping an idol of the spirits.
“Is this the headquarters?”
No matter how much I looked, all I could see was ruins.
“Because of their bombardment, we moved all the buildings on the ground underground. Thanks to you, I am still holding on.”
“… You’ve persevered.”
It is said that the train I saw barely made its way there in just a few days.
There would be no need to advance in such a hurry.
It is said that the facilities on the ground were about anti-aircraft guns or defense facilities, and the rest were all installed underground.
“Are there no tanks or ground troops in the enemy army?”
“There is. However, the defense facilities and the remaining ground forces are not formidable, so it seems to be ending with bombing.”
When I looked around again at the words of the mid-range earth spirit, defense facilities were lined up among the ruins.
Unlike Sila, something was a little strange.
An anti-aircraft gun that is concentrated only near the headquarters.
There were no traces of anti-aircraft guns near the broken anti-tank guns in front of them, and the facilities were all underground.
If you can pull out anti-aircraft guns this much, you’ll be able to block the bombers.
There was a high possibility that this was a commander’s mistake.
“Inform Tyran, the commander of this unit.”
“I, that’s… ….”
The reporter, who blinked his eyes slightly towards the spirit who was speechless, said as if making an excuse.
“The commander is not interested in commanding.”
“What?”
“We have come to this point because we focused only on the production of weapons, and the person who had been a lieutenant until recently took command at will.”
“Ha.”
I let out a sincere sigh.
The situation is crazy.
“Then who is the lieutenant?”
“It was bombed and destroyed a while ago. They can’t even come back to life with their special ammo. It was probably reborn from the outside.”
“That is fortunate. Anyway, I’ll have to see Tyran’s face.”
“Yes. We will guide you.”
When I was about to go into the basement following the mid-level earth spirit, the air raid siren sounded.
The spirits moved in unison to catch anti-aircraft guns or escape underground.
An anti-aircraft gun fired magic at the bombing squadron that appeared soon after.
However, the distance was quite far, and it seemed difficult to hit a bomber approaching at a high altitude.
Bombers who had gained time by firing anti-aircraft guns in advance were approaching without being checked.
As if to prove that the captain is giving up on his job, the overall training level was too bad compared to Sila’s unit.
“Ttt.”
After kicking the tongue once, Unification was cast.
The silver parts covered the whole body except the body.
“Miss Fire?”
“Erif. Call me like that from now on.”
It kicked off the ground and took off vertically.
I saw the enemy’s bombing squad lowering their altitude slightly.
Is it the bombing time?
“Hellfire spread, one sidewinder each.”
In unification mode, you can finally choose one option for Hellfire.
There are a lot of bombers, so I’ll have to form a barrage in spread mode.
[[It is ready.]]
“Okay. Let’s go.”
The drone approached the bombing squadron at maximum speed.
A biplane between the bombers came forward, but was hit by a sidewinder fired from my left hand and crashed.
“Then let’s try the main dish.”
I raised my right hand holding the Hellfire toward the bombing squadron that was about to disperse.
“Hellfire.”
The flames emitted from the gauntlet spread like a dragon’s breath.
Bombers hit by the Hellfire with recoil enough to be pushed back a few meters began to fall one by one with the fire burning.
“What is it? It’s a little different from shooting from a helicopter.”
In spread mode, it spread slightly radially and then shot as it is, but in the united state, it felt like a flamethrower with a wide range.
[[That is the strength of integration. The weapon’s destructive power may be weakened, but the range of applications it can be applied increases depending on the situation.]]
“That’s right.”
The two remaining bombers turned and began to flee.
I was able to annihilate the enemy’s bombing squadron without damaging allies by shooting down one drone and one by myself.
The spirits who had raised their heads after a long time came rushing in.
“You are also General Misfire!”
“Call me Erif.”
“Erif Punch! Hellfire Punch!”
“I believed you!”
After hanging out with the spirits for a while, I managed to go to the subterranean headquarters to meet Tyrann.
