Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 600

 

Plucking



The sun appears from the horizon


In that light, our nation's capital appears.



"We can't use fire arrows."


"It was raining late at night, but isn’t it wrong to shoot fire arrows at the place we are about to occupy?"


"I'm kidding"


"That would be fine. Any additional communication from Shanze?"


"Nothing, I guess we just have to follow the plan."



Invade the capital


We understand what a grave sin it is.


But it's good if you win


If you win, it will be justice.


The Empire, which is the greatest concern, is also watched over by our comrades.


Currently, there are only 6 Empire airships on the southwestern continent.


From now on, the capitals of 24 countries and 185 major cities will become battlefields.


They can't even handle this number.



"We will march when the sun fully appears."


"I unders..."



One of my comrades stops mid-sentence.



"What's wrong?"


"Ah... what is this..."



He turns his head to the right while facing me.



"Hey?"


"W-wait... ah, wait, what is this? Stop it, someone please stop it!"



The sound of broken bones echoed


Suddenly his head moved in the wrong direction and he died.


Still, the neck continued to turn, and then the waist also turned in the same direction, and the corpse's neck and waist were torn off.


I suddenly remembered the warning.



"All the forces..."



I couldn't finish saying those words




---




Center of the southwestern continent


An environment where it is difficult for people to live at an altitude of 6,000 meters


We operate the latest type of airship and remain in place. We are in a situation where we can only survive inside the ship where the air pressure has been adjusted.


However, in that environment, there is only one person who is outside.



There was no sign of her suffering in the extreme cold and thin air.


That's why she was so beautiful standing in the twilight.



"Captain"


"Yes?"


"How long should we continue like this?"



Our ship has already been at this location for 10 days.


What we do


No one knows that including me


No, I guess only the girl outside knows.


Her long white hair blowing in the strong wind looks so beautiful



"We'll wait until we get her orders."


"…I got it"


"Are you worried about her?"


"No, I'll keep quiet."


"I see, that's good. There are some things you shouldn't get involved in, so just have breakfast."


"Ha! Excuse me."



I guess our conversations are blocked by the thick glass and can't be conveyed to her.


Then she suddenly points somewhere far away.


Then, mana dwells in the tip of her finger.


It's like a lit candle


I don't know how she did it, but she put it in her palm.


Clench


When the fire goes out, it lights up again by pointing somewhere.


Repeating it over and over again



"Captain, we have intercepted the transmission."


"What kind of communication?"


"It's an old-fashioned communication that isn't even encrypted."


"Is it a distress signal?"


"Yeah... I've received a message from Yukikaze-sama."



Yukikaze-sama is like a mother to us.


Although she was stern, her tone was kind, but at that moment it was different.


In a cold, emotionless tone, she simply said, [Don't do anything about that old-fashioned communication].



On that day, we will remain here until ordered to withdraw in the evening.


In the end, we return to the Empire without knowing anything.


The next day, I heard a rumor.


There is a group in the southwestern continent that is attempting to stage a large-scale rebellion.


That's the rumor


It is said that all of their leaders died under mysterious circumstances.



...We don't know anything


That's fine.
