62 – Chapter 22. Vampire Hunter E – 2

“I didn’t know it would be like this… ….”
“That’s it.”
For more than two days after dropping the unit commander-level aircraft, the enemy camp was silent.
I ran into the runway as planned, but the hangar was empty as if I had withdrawn.
I collected explosives and ruined the runway to the point that I couldn’t use it for a while, but something unpleasant did not go away.
“I’ll go to the enemy headquarters and see.”
“Anyway, it’s dangerous. The enemy’s anti-aircraft guns are still intact.”
“What is the military force?”
“… Not confirmed.”
Did you really withdraw?
Once I returned to the base, I had an operational meeting with Tiran and other senior-level spirits.
“It’s an air battle, but the enemies can’t launch aircraft anymore. I think we will win if we just attack.”
“Our ground troops are very poor. Still, if you wait a little bit, you’ll have an assortment. Tyran?”
“That’s right. We’ve just started printing tanks, so we’ll have a ground army soon. Support will come soon.”
Tyrando and the elemental executives seem to plan to attack by mobilizing ground forces as well.
It was a principled and standard method, but something didn’t feel right.
“Do you have a friend who knows what kind of weapon the enemy captain drives?”
I didn’t open my mouth, probably because everyone didn’t know.
Then, the intermediate water spirit quietly spoke.
“I know the oldest soldier here. He’s a friend who has been fighting on the front lines since the first gates opened, just in case you know.”
“Then can you call the soldier?”
“Yes.”
After a while, the soldier who entered the conference room was a low-level water spirit.
“Loyalty. I heard he was looking for me.”
“Nice to meet you. I was wondering if you’ve ever seen an enemy captain.”
The water spirit thought for a moment, then put his pen into his body and squirted ink on the paper and drew a picture.
“You look younger than Erif-sama, and slightly higher than Tyran-sama. Asmodian red eyes and sharp fangs. He is a long, silver-haired, presumed vampire.”
When I saw the montage drawn on the paper, I had no choice but to tap my forehead.
That’s the guy you dropped from the giant plane the other day.
“This guy might be around here.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
Tiran leaned towards me with a half curious and half worried expression.
“The last time a huge plane came in, I had a little fight with him on it. I dropped it down and it was probably near our camp.”
“Ummm. Nothing was reported.”
“Gather up the soldiers who were doing the anti-aircraft fire at that time.”
“I see.”
As a result of such interrogation, we were able to obtain many testimonies of seeing something crashing from an airplane.
And along with the testimony that something had fallen towards the ruins to the west of the base, the turbulent movement observed over the two days was also noticeable.
“The reconnaissance unit is missing?”
“Yes. Even though the time to return has passed, there is no communication, so I was just about to report it.”
“Where is it?”
“Near West Ruins.”
What the report meant was clear.
There was tension in the camp.
“Tiran. Relocate the anti-aircraft guns near the western ruins.”
“Okay. I will prepare the ground forces as well.”
“Once the drones are sent to reconnaissance, once the location is confirmed, we will launch the first strike.”
After preparing a response system in an instant, we took action.
Tiran redeployed anti-aircraft guns and selected a unit to drive out the enemy captain,
With my drone, I put on the armor that Tyran had remade, and commanded the ground forces to form a siege,
The vampire hunt has begun.
“Is Kanbal still quiet?”
“Yes. There are still some troops in the south of Jafir, but strangely there is no reaction. Even though it was obvious who had infiltrated and retrieved the tokens.”
Arumanan’s thoughts deepened upon hearing the report from the Operation Commander.
Kanbal, a common enemy of Canael and Selmeier, was a country with potential that could not be ignored.
In order to suppress them, who possessed a ground force comparable to that of Selmeier, the stronghold of the Irish continent, the Canael Kingdom has developed asymmetric forces.
The air battleship and carrier Aruma Nan and his wing squadron, not only on the continent of Ireland, but also on the continent of Pavis beyond, had no country to compete against.
Kanbal’s militant national tendencies seem to have been silenced because of its air power.
In the past, there was a history of attacking Selmeier and Canael in turn.
They weren’t the only ones to stand still.
In that case, I have no choice but to assume that their target number is separate.
‘Have you ever been in a place where Miffy has been hard to resist?’
Arumanan deliberately shows up frequently at public events, subtly appealing to the fact that there is a person who purifies the tokens.
The biggest possibility was that Kanbal, who was deceived by it, was watching, thinking that the token would “Explode”.
He didn’t even think that there was another humanoid spirit.
If Arumanan had not been seen for more than a few days, Kanbal would have attacked immediately.
It must have been assumed that the enemy inside the token was strong enough to bind Arumanan for at least a few days.
Can Erif, whose memory and strength are unstable, defeat such an enemy?
Worrying about her that she has already been in her spirit realm for her week, Aruma Nan let out her long sigh.
‘By the way, I heard that a Chromanium man visited Erif. Did she say acquaintance?’
I didn’t know much about the process of purifying the Demon’s Mark, but I knew that only those with a strong affinity for the Spirit Master or higher could enter the Spirit Realm through the token.
And the fact that those who have a close relationship with him and have a certain affinity for spirits can enter in the form of help.
For example, with the exception of the humanoid spirits Erif, himself, and Master Chromium, Kariya’s advanced spirits can directly purify the Demon’s Mark, and the number of people who can help him is limited.
According to Sila, she was helped by a classmate at the same school when she purged the last demonic token.
Erif goes to school.
The sight of her attending her classes and hanging out with her friends is a sight that will make you smile, but once this issue is resolved, you will be able to return to your daily life.
‘Her please, give her back to her the strength of her past days, which overcame all her enemies.’
Arumanan had no choice but to pray.
May Erif overcome all trials and rescue the spirit world again.
“Ah, ah. Can you hear me?”
“That’s right. Me It’s hidden so it’ll take a while to find it.”
“Oh. As I said before, it’s not my fault.”
“Really? Branch manager, is it really true?”
Dark hallway. A girl was holding her communicator and chatting nonstop.
A brown ponytail tied loosely and a striking white gown.
The two eyes that look playful but languid on the other hand are full of anticipation.
Urine von Claudia, an exchange student at Celeste Military Academy, has been living in this small facility for the second day.
She watched movies with Erif, and she ate popcorn together, and she thought she was pretty friendly, but when she found out she wasn’t invited to her entry into the spirit world, she was also quite discouraged. .
When you get tired of pinching the cheeks of Erif, who is sleeping soundly because of her mean grudge, or rubbing her soft stomach or tickling her waist after lifting her clothes.
I received a call saying that the master and the spy agency under his command had found two ‘friends’.
She wondered if she could be invited to the spirit world through her friends, and Yuri sat across Erif’s bed with all kinds of firearms pointed at her, and she was eating popcorn.
“Excuse me, sir.”
I heard a voice that seemed a little scared.
She got out of bed, Yuri, and she went to her entrance after getting permission from a security guard who was standing nearby.
“Welcome, Chermia. Oh, was Shane there too?”
“Yuri-nee-senpai?”
Her two cute juniors looked at Yuri with surprised eyes.
When she heard that her friend was in danger, she would be surprised if her senior appeared out of the blue.
She plus she was the one who forced them into battle the last time she rescued Sila, so it wasn’t strange that she was bordering Zermia and Shane.
“Is this something your seniors made up?”
Yuri Nee refuted his words, pouting her mouth at Shane, who was staring at him sharply.
“Do you think I can prepare facilities like this in other countries?”
“It’s not like that… ….”
Chermia took a step forward in place of Shane, who was speechless.
“It seems that the situation is similar to the last time. More hostile.”
Looking at the weapons aimed at the bed Erif was lying on, Chermia clenched her fists.
Yuri Nee let out her innocent smile, and she turned behind the two of them and patted her shoulders.
“Come on. Let the anger settle inside. Are you aware of the situation? Just do it like last time.”
“Well, just last time.”
At Shane’s serious tone, Yuri-ne turned her head to say something.
Even though she was burdened by Yuri’s gaze looking at her right next to her face, Shane continued to speak.
“Can’t we ride something like Erif and help?”
“Aha. I’m already hoping for a dedicated weapon. Are you greedy?”
“I’m sorry.”
Yuri Four relaxed her shoulders and she pushed them both forward slightly.
The two of them approached Erif’s bed and looked at Yurine.
“It is good to have greed. Then, a present for greedy people!”
Yuri Ne put her hand on her own clothes and started looking for something with her.
Shane and Chermia turned their heads because the part they put their hands in was the front hem of the shirt.
“Do you know what an exclusive weapon is?”
“Isn’t it similar to the pendant Erif has? She learned that she could hold weapons and stuff like that.”
“Yes. It is very good to carry relics, but the efficiency is quite low due to the steady use of mana stones. So it’s not very useful…….”
Yuri Ne gave the two pendants she took out of her arms to Chermia and Shane.
Cermia accepted the red chariot-shaped pendant, and Shane accepted the blue person-shaped pendant.
“It’s something that even a few ace soldiers can’t get. Use it with caution. Well, even if you get seriously damaged inside, you’ll be fine on the outside.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. So, don’t spare your life, think of it as gaining practical experience and just fight.”
Yurine said with a smile.
That smile was a mix of playfulness that couldn’t be hidden and a bit of cruelty.
“Senior…… Who the hell are you?”
Yuri Ne shrugged her shoulders at Cermia’s question.
“I’m just an exchange student from Chromanium. I know these people a little better than others.”
When Yuri’s fingertips turned towards Erif, the two of them silently grabbed her pendant.
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask about ‘that person’, but the two of them made an implicit promise to hear from Erif himself, and laid their hands on the token Erif was holding, just like the last time.
“Oh. If you go there, call me.”
“Yes? What is that…….”
Cermia’s question was not completed.
After moving the two fallen asleep to a bunk with the soldiers, Yuri-ne faced the commander who came after receiving her call and threw off her playful mood.
“It’s Squire Yuri. Thank you for your cooperation.”
“No, Commander. This is because there is a lot to gain from the Chromanium side.”
“Heh heh. It’s good to be honest.”
“There is nothing to hide.”
Yuri As you laughed, the commander slowly nodded her head.
“Then, the two of you will have arrived ‘over there’ soon, so I’ll go in too.”
“Please.”
Yurine lay down next to Erif at first and pulled up the blanket.
“I will finish it within one day.”
Yurine put her hand on the token that was connected with Erif, Chermia, and Shane’s hands with black magic.
And finally, she was able to enter the spirit realm.
