Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 674

 

Withdraw



"Lou, to the right!"


"I see it!"



Before the airship arrived at the Holy Kingdom, information about the monster was sent one after another from the Empire.


In a situation where there is an appropriate oxygen environment, they will never stop their activities unless the core is destroyed.


The position of the core does not match in all individuals.



-This is Jormungand IV, knight numbers 55 to 80, please respond-



The measures we took to confront



"This is number 68, alive and well."


-Confirmed all numbers are alive, it's time for change-


"Understood. Lou, I'll be back."


"Understood, Kaito."



A senior knight steps forward to confront the monster and search for the core.


Destroy the core discovered by the low-class knight.


It's a two-man cell activity.



-Carbon dioxide was fired-



Me and my buddy Lou wear masks.


Immediately after that, a warhead fired from the airship Jormungand IV landed right in front of us.


High concentration of carbon dioxide fills the surrounding area



"Let's go, Lou."


"Yes"



This gas doesn't last that long either.


However, it is a sure way to inhibit the monster's actions.



"Damn, if only there was a way to operate in this gas."


"It's said to be over 70 degrees in the center. You'll die."


"I know, I wish I had more time to improve."


'Right."



On our way back to the airship while complaining



"Good work."



I run into a knight who has come to take our place.



"How many left?"


"We were able to kill 18 of them. But there are still quite a lot."


"It looks like it's going to take a long time..."


"Still, it's not as bad as it could be."


"That's true. Someone came during our break."


"Who?"


"High-ranking official of the Holy Kingdom."


"Did they come for comfort?"


"No, no, the Holy Kingdom's army was routed at the border between the south and the north."


"That's not good... hey, that's..."


"Well, Jormungand still has supplies, and it's able to fight in other places as well. It's good enough to hide the people who evacuated... what's going on?"



While talking


I can see the shadow of the airship from the shoulder of the replacement knight.



"Hey, why is the airship taking off?"


"No way! Jormungand, respond!"


-…………-



No response from the airship



"Additional carbon dioxide is not coming. The monster's activity will resume!"



As Lou shouts


The monster lifted its body and started walking towards us.



"Let's go back to the airport!"


"No, just you and Lou go back."


"What did you say!"


"We can't take these guys with us. Go, Kaito, leave us. Kirk, follow me!"


"I got it!"



With no hope of support or replacement, they resumed fighting the monster.




――――




Holy Kingdom airport where the airship landed


There were a large number of residents of the Holy Kingdom.



"What’s going on?"



Airship radio operators and captains


Their bodies were dumped where the airship had been.


The cause of death was shooting...



"It's a gunpowder bullet."



A shell casing was also found nearby.


The Empire uses coil guns.


There are no cartridges



"Kaito, come here."



Lou is holding a man


A wounded man wearing the military uniform of the Holy Kingdom, the rank insignia is... warrant officer.



"What happened?"



He apologetically began to explain the situation.


The true identity of the high-ranking official from the Holy Kingdom who came here


It's a royalty


No, on the contrary, it was the King of the Northern part himself.


He said he had something important to say, so he boarded the airship.


They shot the crew and escaped on their own.


He was shot by his allies when he tried to stop them.


It is said that he was thrown off the airship along with the corpses.



"Those bastards!"



Dozens of refugees who had come with them rushed to force their way aboard and were shot.



"Lou, do you think there's a communicator at this airport?"


"I'll look for it. Should I connect it to the Empire or another airship?"


"Yeah, if that's not possible, please explain the situation to another knight."



If we can't even do that, we'll have to run and tell them.


They successfully captured the airship and leisurely flew towards the sea...



"Hey, hey, hey! That's!"



They don't know anything


They're between the empire's continent and the falling monsters.



"Louーーーーー! Communication, quickly!"


"It's impossible! The communication device won't turn on!"



I saw a light from beyond the horizon


Jormungand


One of the Empire's largest airships


That fourth generation was shot down by an ally's railgun, a moment that made ignominious history.
