Chapter 264 – 24. You’re Already Stuck.
+++
“Have you got any results?”
A woman with an innocent, but at the same time, a lewd face looked up at the sky and asked. Next to her was a woman who was similar but more stiff. Her tight-fitting suit could have made her look clunky, but her great beauty and cool atmosphere replaced it with charm.
“Not at all… To be honest, if I hadn’t known the function beforehand, I wouldn’t have even guessed what it was.”
“Hmm.”
A huge structure that appeared on top of the central base a few days ago.
This, which looks to be about 1km in diameter, is a so-called ‘gate’, a new means of inter-floor movement by the continental powers.
As the commander of the currently gathered reinforcements – in fact, the Allied Forces – and one of the seven gods leading a single faction, Palutena could not stand by and ignore its appearance. Besides, it’s an imminent situation right now. What had been limited to local warfare for a long time was heated up by Nost’s massive invasion. So, even a little bit suspicious should be pointed out, but that thing called ‘Gate’ was openly the advance guard of the enemy.
“Is there not enough time after all?”
“… I was skeptical about that too. They said it was not a matter of time.”
“No, does that make sense? We can copy and use the magic of continental ones. You can also use heavenly power there. I can even imitate Nobling, albeit to a limited extent. But it’s not that there’s not enough time, and you just can’t get a sense of it?”
“I heard that it is an extremely advanced science… To be honest, I can’t believe it either.”
“Um….”
Parthena furrowed her brows in her disapproving face, then snapped one of her feet her as if riding a rhythm.
It is a well-known fact that if we leave that gigantic structure as it is, enemies will come riding on it. I attached a research team to see if there was anything to find out, but in fact, even this was a dangerous move. Originally, it should have been destroyed as soon as it appeared.
And now, having learned that research was virtually impossible, there was no reason to stop that judgment.
The problem is that even that destruction doesn’t work as intended.
“By the way, the destructive test has already been completed. It seems that this one doesn’t make sense at all.”
“What the hell did you create….”
Shaking her head with a tired face, she lowered her head as she looked up at the sky.
A huge group that can be seen immediately if you look around. Hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered under that structure. Because you never know when the enemy will pop out, you were preparing in advance.
“We’re doing this because of man-made structures, right? It’s just a man-made structure?”
“Precisely, it is a structure created by human-made puppets.”
“That is it. I’ve never heard of or seen anything like this. If you have this level of ability, why on earth did humanity live under the oppression and oppression of the Council?”
“Rumors say that he is not a human here.”
“Are you not human here?”
“There are rumors that he came from another world. It feels like a different world that often appears in novels these days.”
“….”
Palutena’s face her was strangely distorted.
“I thought you were sincere in everything… Did you see that?”
“… I only watched it to gather information.”
“What information do you look for in a novel? Say something that makes sense.”
“… Really.”
When Astyros spoke seriously with an expression of resentment, Parthena reluctantly nodded her head. It was still a completely unreliable horse, but she is the one and only Archangel of Palutena. She has to believe
“Hmmmm… Anyway, according to those rumors, I’m not a human here, so of course I don’t have any hatred or antipathy towards the committee that humans here would have.”
“Something like love for my own people? Wouldn’t it make you angry to see your own people being treated like that?”
“I don’t think he’s very philanthropic.”
“Yeah, well, if you were like that, that would be it.”
After giving her affirmation to her endlessly jotting down notes in her notebook, she looked up at her sky again.
A structure that cannot be studied or destroyed.
It was a kind of door that made it possible to move between floors, and at the same time, the absolute wall that blocked the advance seemed to have no gaps.
“I can’t help it. All I can do now is keep an eye on it. If you think about it, it’s more advantageous for us to fight here anyway, right? They say they will come over on their own, but there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“Yes. No matter how surprised they are, they are still in the aggressor’s position. No matter how many troops you bring, if you prepare well, you can turn it into an opportunity.”
“Okay. Just intercept well. Children, keep your discipline up, and if you notice even the slightest oddity, immediately go off the alarm and switch to an all-out attack.”
“Yes. Miss Palutena.”
Astyros’s notebook, which was constantly containing notes, finally burst! Folded
“By the way, Miss Palutena.”
“Yes?”
“Why didn’t you use cotton yarn?”
“…… Do I have to do that?”
“I would have told you I had to.”
“Ha… Anyone who sees you will know that you are a god and I am an archangel. Yes?”
“This is a necessary action.”
“Please trust me.”
“Please tell me something that makes sense.”
“… Are you really arrogant these days?”
“This is a necessary action.”
“This is very—”
“Palutena-sama!!!”
Flutter.
A woman with bobbed black hair came down to her side who was just in a fit of heat.
An archangel, judging from the fact that it has four pairs of wings. He was a member of the reinforcements sent by God, who recognized the seriousness of this incident.
Looking at her face her, she was a woman who was in charge of the supply line with the rear department, but she was flying in such a hurry. The faces of Palutena and Astyros who were watching hardened at the same time.
“What’s going on so quickly?”
“A gate has appeared on the 30th floor!!”
“… What?”
“What do you mean? Is that a gate to the rear?”
If it was on the 30th floor, it would be 2 floors above the girls. Full back in the current situation. In addition, to prepare for an invasion, the public seat and its surroundings were thoroughly monitored, and this was the case even after the appearance of the gate. In the meantime, I had never heard that the seat resonated or the gate worked, but a gate suddenly appeared from the rear?
It crossed my mind for a moment that it might be a bad prank, but it was unlikely that someone the size of an archangel would perform such a skit with such a serious face.
Aware of the seriousness of the situation, Astyros took out his notebook again.
“Palutena-sama, if the gate was built on the 30th floor, it should be considered that the connection from the 31st floor was cut off.”
“… Where is the public seat?”
Even if the gate is built, it is still possible to move between floors using the ball seat, as long as it is intact. However, even in this situation, she thought of it the moment she said that there was no way she would have left the empty seat, even if it was to the point of somehow going back to the rear and even constructing the gate.
Just as expected,
The archangel who came to report bit his lip.
“On the 31st floor… It seems to have been cut off.”
“No… What were you doing? Or is there a traitor on our side?”
“Sorry.”
Gate in front.
Behind the gate.
It’s completely like a sandwich.
It’s not just a sandwich, it’s a 500,000-strong sandwich.
The amount of supplies they consume in a day is beyond imagination, but of course you can’t keep them all piled up. No, you don’t have to. After all, since it’s a tower, there’s no way the supply line from the upper floors will be cut off.
But it was cut off
I don’t know how the hell it penetrated the front line, but I passed through proudly and created an absolute defense line called the gate behind the gear.
“Are you trying to kill me like this? Continental guys would know, right? That it doesn’t die so easily. At least for a few months—”
“Palutena-sama, it doesn’t seem like that.”
Astyros, who was taking notes, pointed to the sky.
The gate, which boasted a magnificent scale and was proudly located, began to show off a different sense of coercion than usual.
Woo woo woo.
It feels like a ball seat resonates.
A rumbling sound that connected space with space spread around the gate.
“… What do you mean? At best, blocking it with a retreat and attacking right away? Do you know what kind of chase this is?”
“Escape… You seem to be trying to stop it?”
“So! You’re out of your mind!”
I can annihilate anyone like you.
What are you trying to show off? Or maybe you don’t know the number of heavenly troops gathered here?
No, it’s just a strategic error in the first place. It is a very natural fact that the damage to allies should be reduced only when the enemy has a way to live. If there is no escape route, serious damage will occur because they will fight to the death.
Seriously, if you don’t mean to eat all of the 500,000 Heavenly Army, then this is just crazy….
“Even if you don’t know the number of our troops… This is not a sensible strategy. If it were me, I would have just waited.”
“Me too. Anyway, let’s start with the command! An hour is really urgent!”
Palutena shook her head, immediately summoned all the commanding departments and launched an all-out attack on the entire army.
Although there was an unexpected ambush that a gate was built in the rear, there was only one thing to do when the enemy invaded like this.
Concentrate the strength of 500,000 troops to intercept the enemy as soon as it jumps out.
Don’t let me pick out a single bone!
