Chapter 867 – Swamp in the Swampwood Forest (3)
***
“I didn’t know you’d come back already.”
As Congress nears its end, and there’s still no room for where and how to distribute power, I talk to Chiara Colido.
The President of the Asherard Society and him, who are you? Anyway, there is also Dr. Something who cooperated with us in the crisis of life. Name? Oh, will I remember?
“Other people suffered a lot. I did my best to play and eat.”
Kiara waving her cast-off arm. He barely noticed my gaze and said.
“I found an artifact that heals wounds in the Hittite ruins. Unfortunately, it was disposable, but it healed quickly by amplifying the effect of the elixir.”
“It’s a reassuring story amidst the bleak news.”
After he stopped by Kanesh, the capital of the Hittites, he was too busy to see his face.
Still, aren’t adventurers the best when it comes to subjugating monsters? Monster Hunter Kiara.
“So, where is that ‘method’?”
Tyrsi asked. I guess it’s because I’m concerned. Fortunately, the grounds arrived quickly.
“That’s it.”
What Asherard pointed out was, obviously, a well-preserved relic. It was a huge statue, but if there were no patterns or decorations on the skin, you would have thought it was a real giant.
“That device… ?”
“That’s right, Mr. Armashnas. It’s the Hittite’s dimension-shifting blockade device Terracotta.”
Is that an artifact that Kiara and Asherard excavated to the bone? My eyes opened up.
A moment ago, Kiara appeared out of nowhere and said.
─Weaknesses are sometimes the main pillars of counterattacks.
──If you rush into it thinking that now is your chance, it’s easy to get hit back.
—So, we just have to counterattack like that.
The device that prevents dimension movement, 《Terracotta》, was enough to refute the congressman’s point.
—I believe in your status, achievements, and skills, and I will forget about your sudden intrusion. What device?
—When invaders from the other world appear in the capital city, it’s an insect screen to keep them from escaping.
《Terracotta》’s performance can be summarized in one line.
It’s the same as Kanesh’s device we’ve been trapped in.
“Theoretically, if you use this device, you can block the warp magic used by the children of the stars. If you limit the effect to a narrow range, it is even possible to completely confine it.”
“It’s just pulling the coordinates and throwing them into the containment dimension.”
Even Henir, who uses the authority of the material god Libertas, is not good at this.
That artifact confined the whole area of Kanesh to a dimensional wall, but concentrates it on one person? Wouldn’t it feel like making the Great Wall of China into a cube and locking a bulldozer inside?
It is the legacy of the Hittites, a country that reached out to the realm of the gods without the protection of the gods.
There are plenty of reasons to believe in its performance.
─Is there really no chance of missing the enemy or failing?
Wouldn’t the enemy’s guerrilla units escape as best they could? Despite such a question, Kiara answered.
─As with all fights, if the skill level is equal, it becomes a mana fight.
──If the strength of our allies invested in defending the capital is not enough to prevent the enemy from escaping, wouldn’t it be wiser for us to consider surrendering rather than fighting back?
To sum it up, it means that if you can’t even catch a bouncing kid, you shouldn’t fight!
And it was also said to quit cavil for the sake of cavil.
Of course, there was no one to answer, ‘Oh, that’s right, because we’re dog-eat-dog’, so now I was deciding where to distribute power.
Perhaps the hourglass that constantly pours down also played a role.
As the device was being installed, Kiara said.
“The remaining problem is… Who is our ‘next enemy’, how strong is it, and where is it?”
It winks because it demands an explanation. I gave only brief information, and Kiara, who heard the telepathy, scratched her cheek.
“To think that there are so many dangerous enemies in the world, I feel that my knowledge is short. I thought the external enemies of the master class were the dragons of Kitai or transcendence monsters whose habitats were known.”
“Maybe we can have a sudden meeting with those transcendental monsters on this occasion.”
“That’s true, it’s the news that makes the heart of an adventurer who hears it beat.”
It was an answer like a fool who was a bit crazy about fighting, but what better than asking for help to escape because I’m scared and scared. Let’s think good.
-Palak. Even now, dispatches and mailings from all over the world, and documents that summarized the contents of the report were posted on the desk. It wasn’t long before it was written with magic, so I looked through the paper where the ink was less dry. “Southern Ichilia. Euphius and Hiespania in the West. Aquiltiora of the North.〉 The old man gradually recited the six battlegrounds. An area where fierce battles are expected… In other words, it is a land where dangerous monsters have nested. Monsters that will cause tremendous damage if you want to subjugate them as a regular soldier! Aren’t there the giant scorpion-like guys that Gildart and Gildart sliced through in the past at Narmer-Nile? It was a place where such guys were expected to pop out. 〈──And the eastern Aurelius territory, and the old Armashnas territory.〉 Former Armashnas Territory. Land named after the first senator, in other words, the founding father of Romania. It was once a territory ruled by the Armashnas family.
He paused and stopped talking, but did not look back at Tyrsi.
The reason the atmosphere was a little gloomy was probably because the weakening of national power was so painful.
It’s a meeting that takes time, like a shallow fire. However, if he skipped this because he was in a hurry and acted rudely, he would lose the fight he could win. I crossed my arms.
〈… Chiara Colido, President of the Federation. Ahead of this unprecedented cataclysm, can we ask for your adventurer’s guild’s help?”
Even when arrows flew at her, Kiara just replied as if she had expected them.
Kiara just smiles with a gloomy expression. It seemed to mean not to hit it with your bare mouth. ─Bingle. And then his eyes came to me. I said while sitting with my arms undone. “This is an issue that transcends national and racial differences. I can’t ignore people’s pain either. This is an individual answer, not Wolfhedin, the aristocrat of Britannia.〉 〈… Thank you. Regardless, I will lend you a hand.” The congressman who said that each province should be abandoned raised his head and asked a question. Those receiving help would not be able to tell them to go here or there. It is said that the position of diplomacy is to put a steel plate on one’s face and do something shameless and rude, but didn’t I take the lead? Participating in the war is my personal answer. I mean, I didn’t discuss it with Elisabeth, saying, “Give me Mr. There’s no way that Henir, who dreams of fucking mankind, will stop even if I take my hand off, so I accepted the concession. ‘Let’s go to the forefront. Because there is no war that can be solved by avoiding it.〉 If you put a premium on the concession called ‘battlefield’, you will be able to get more value for it. I rubbed the ink from my hand onto the paper and declared to the colorful lawmakers. 〈I’m going to Azwishia.〉 The old estate of Armashnas. To the land where Tyrsi was born.

“Hmm. After all, you came here to say something obvious.”
When I returned to the inn, Dana said it was nothing.
Fran also nodded her head and swung her dainty fist.
“Henir sees Norr as his nemesis! You’ve got your wisdom, so it’s only natural to fight.”
Yes it is Even if the stage changes, the result does not change.
Henir is an enemy who interferes with the future of living happily with her wives. She is therefore Juggin. Crow, wow, wow.
“Ugh. But wouldn’t it be difficult to find out where Henir is when it’s so noisy?”
As if worried about that, Lalilura put her finger on her chin and twisted her head in a corner.
“No, there is.”
Despite my concerns, I answered calmly.
“Think of Henir’s purpose. In common sense, could it be possible to completely wipe out humans by forming tens of thousands of mithril-class new god troops?”
“It’s a little bit like what I’m saying… Wouldn’t that be possible?”
Veronica, a member of that tribe, answered, but I shook my head.
“The method is so ignorant. If I was going to push through with force, a meteor shower would have already fallen on the capital of a human country with little ties to me, such as Weitznia or Germania, which I can’t predict.”
“Ah, that’s right. Ugh, that’s scary… “
Do you feel it as much as you have become stronger? It was Lari Lula stroking her forearm as she shivered.
I live as usual, but a goblin pops out of the sky and shoots Meteor at full auto until the magazine runs out and bounces? Even a Nimiral disaster movie wouldn’t even break even if the plot was like that.
However, in reality, probability is more important than drama. It was a trick that could actually happen.
Pan…
Thinking of something, Nefertiti stared at me and said,
“Nord. Did you announce the existence of the offspring of the stars to prevent that from happening?”
“Yes. It increased the reach of Wisdom.”
If it is possible to confirm with certainty who did what, the direction becomes clear.
As a result, they will attack either Romania, Britannia, or my family.
Then, of course, ‘the future where people who have lost their country, assets, and families grab us by the collar and pursue them’ and so on would have been reflected in my eyes. That foreknowledge is possible.
“A guy with a good head is rather easy to predict. You can’t just close your eyes and do crazy things.”
The words that simple and clear unflow can take away the card that Henir can play.
As I looked at the items inside the medallion, I frowned.
“So the focus of the problem is not the idea in Henir’s calf, but the authority.”
“That bastard’s authority? Why the ability to get inspired?”
“Sister. I mean, it’s a great idea. I’m talking about ideas that transcend expectations.”
Many people have seen an apple fall, but have not been able to relate it to gravity.
I was from the generation that grew up playing Nintendo, but I never thought about what it would be like to apply that touch panel to a smartphone or kiosk. That is, until the real thing comes out.
“Just as I find out information that I wouldn’t normally know through foreknowledge, his ideas and points of interest will exceed our guesses. Anyway, Odin said he was a high-powered bastard who asked for his opinion?”
Loki, who was speechless, nodded silently.
The cool idea contest is Henir’s specialty, and he comes out.
It is natural to be at a disadvantage if you stick with the enemy’s nawabari.
Even a kendo master would be beaten to death if he competed in judo without a weapon, and even a national judo representative would break his forearm if he blocked a jukdo with his bare hands.
“It should be taken for granted that the real purpose is unpredictable even though it is embarrassing. It’s the power to think of ‘a plan we can’t stop’. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time if I squeezed my brain?”
Just because I can’t transform into a dragon like Kiara did doesn’t make me a dragon warrior, and even if I complained that Wooshin’s invincible power was a scam, I wouldn’t gain invincible muscles.
Henir’s authority surpasses mine in terms of strategy.
Perhaps my enemies will think, ‘You fucking foresight’, but just like him, I can’t help but drink water from the power of my enemies.
It’s just that I also have some abilities that exceed that guy’s.
“The time has come to show the true worth of an elite druid.”
Our odds are in my, Wolfhedin’s power.
A fight between the power of ingenuity and the power of foresight.
The skirmish had just entered the skirmish.
