Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 539

 

Anger



-Break off of transmission source confirmed-



Niyo reports in an emotionless voice.


When I look up, I can see that scene in my field of vision as well.


Piles of broken bodies rain down amid the rubble of Tuega.


Shirufi is probably mixed in as well.



"What is the state of Tuega’s collapse?"



With Shirufi gone, the accuracy and speed of information will drop significantly.


Still, scholars hastily calculate the situation from the reports of messengers and outside knights.



"The damage to the Imperial Capital will be reduced to 97% compared to the initial prediction."



The speed of collapse was too fast


It would have worked fine if it wasn't for the Baldner faction's attack.


Preventing just 3% is meaningless.


There is no denying that the damage is devastating.



"The situation is hopeless."


"Yukikaze-sama... permission to implement plan 2."



Another solution had already been thought of.


However, for scholars, it is also something that requires a desperate determination.



"…I allow the implementation of the second plan!"


"I got it!"


"Notifying all knights! Notifying all knights! The first plan failed, so we will now implement the second plan. Repeat, execute the second plan."


"Give me that!"



I took the communicator device and sent it to all the knights.



"Everyone! We must avoid the worst-case scenario! We must make the second plan a success at all costs. Those who are prepared for the meaning of this should act. Those who do not want to die should leave and retreat. I’ll allow you to do that."



There were no people who bowed down after hearing my words, not even one.


That makes me very happy.


It was also sad at the same time.



"Wyvern knights, rise to a height of 25 kilometers above sea level, please follow Sedona's instructions."



The first plan was to gradually dismantle the collapsed parts of Tuega.


The second plan, on the other hand, was to completely cut down Tuega.


Cut down all the parts that are currently safe.


Completely separate Tuega from the sea surface


Throw Tuega into space with the centrifugal force



"Niyo, what's the success rate?"


"If it was in its earliest stages, the success rate would be 25%. With the destruction of the top, it dropped to 12%."


"I guess it hurts that the outer mass has decreased"



To carry it out, the knights must work inside Tuega.


The inside is collapsing right now.


There is almost no chance of returning home alive.



-Yukikaze-sama!-



I can hear the wyvern knight's cry over the transmission.



-Tuega is moving! It's shooting...-



After those words, one of the knights' signals disappears.


Niyo told me about the situation.



"Pulse guns have been confirmed to appear from Tuega's inner and outer walls. Unidentified radio waves have been received from far above, coming from a Baldner faction ship. It appears they have hacked Tuega and activated the self-defense program."



Niyo gave me accurate information



"Those damn people!"



Do you want to go so far as to exterminate us?



"Wince, do anything about that damn ship!"


-Please don't be unreasonable-



Even Wince cannot reach the ship's altitude.


It's said to be in a position where even Vouivre's sword can't reach it.


At this point, Baldner's intervention left us with nothing to do.


All we can do now is watch



-Yukikaze, can you hear me?-



A calm voice is heard from the communication device.


He remained calm in this situation.



"Shiro! Why are you on the deck!"


-I'll go out-


"No! If you die, everything will be ruined!"


-If I don't go out, it'll be ruined-


"No, no, it's not."



Even if Tuega collapses and causes fatal damage to the current civilization,


Few people should survive


If I had to say something cruel


People, the empire, the emperor, the civilization


Everything can be changed


I don't know how long it will take to get back to our current level, but it's possible.



But Shiro is different.


The only reason we can stand against Elfriade in the current situation is because of Shiro.


If we lose Shiro, our strongest card, we will be overrun by Elfriade.


Therefore, no matter what the sacrifice, I can't afford to lose Shiro.



-If Tuega collapses, Baldner would be in a strong position-



That's right


The reason the continent and the empire were able to gain time to become so powerful was because Prelati and Baldner were glaring at each other.


But now, Prelati is destroyed before my eyes.


That's why I can't take the bad step of losing Shiro.



-It's simple, right?-



Shiro says it casually.



-Burn the flies above, cut off Tuega, and come back alive. Look, all I have to do is follow these three things-


"You think that's impossible!"


-It's possible, it's possible!-



With that, Shiro spread his wings and flew toward where Wince was.


In the end


We are powerless
