YM778.TV Chapter 410
As the number of attempts to establish a communication connection with the main unit accumulates, an ominous feeling engulfs the whole body.
There was nothing else I could do.
“Once more.”
“Yes……”
I just keep trying.
However, no matter how many more times I contacted him after that, there was no connection with the main unit.
‘…what happened.’
Originally, the plan of our expedition was like this.
1. Home base surprise and infiltration.
2. Use the Eye of the Sky to contact the main unit in the Dragon Mountains.
3. After destroying the target and escaping, join the main body that has come to meet you.
The core of this strike plan is to temporarily gather strength and break through one front, then meet at the tangent point and retreat with us.
But…
“It’s a failure.”
The most important main unit cannot be contacted.
‘Couldn’t it… have abandoned us?’
I suddenly thought of the worst possibility, but I quickly shook my head.
To use such an army once and throw it away?
There is no reason for the royal family to do such a thing.
It is reasonable to assume that something went wrong on the main unit side. No, even in the worst case, there is only one thing I have to do.
Just like it has been since the first day I opened my eyes in this body.
Aaaaaaaang-!
to survive.
“Captain! How long do we have to hold out!”
I made up my mind one last time before making a decision.
“Chief Campbell says it’s the limit now!”
‘Cause we don’t have time anymore
It is necessary to choose the best number within limited resources.
What will help you survive the most?
It didn’t take long to make a decision.
Although I don’t know if this is the best option.
Tuk-tuk.
ok let’s go with this
I can’t think of a better way otherwise.
“Aquraba.”
“Please speak.”
“Completely cancel the designation of communication coordinates.”
So far, we’ve only tried to contact you by calling a designated phone number.
But…
“Yes? Then, what we say will be transmitted to all regions without restrictions…?”
“That’s what I want.”
Wouldn’t it be meaningless to leave a missed call to someone who doesn’t even answer?
“…all right.”
Acuraba seemed to think about it for a while after correctly grasping my meaning, but eventually agreed without objection.
And…
“It’s done. I set the bandwidth to max.”
Aqurava handed me the message stone that was set up within no time.
Click.
I carefully pressed the button.
I was a little nervous.
Because the current setting is similar to the radio transmission mode.
Regardless of whether it is an enemy or an ally, as long as the Message Stone is turned on, communications will be transmitted throughout the continent.
But…
“Listen, everyone.”
So what do you mean?
[Listen, everyone.]
As if echoing, the sound emitted by the activated message stones all around.
It is the main unit’s responsibility for not being contacted.
I don’t know what’s so busy, but what else can a barbarian do when the main unit is closing their ears?
“The Eye of the Sky is destroyed.”
[The Eye of the Sky is destroyed.]
I had no choice but to punch the voice into my ear hole.
***
A desolate plain with dull colors.
And…
“…….”
The ‘Eye of the Sky’ was shattered horribly.
Swoop.
A man took off his robe, revealing his face hidden beneath it.
The hideous skin, as if acidic substances had been poured into it.
“…how did this happen?”
When the man with the terrible look looked around, those who met eyes were busy lowering their gazes.
“you.”
The man reached out and grabbed the nearest explorer by the neck.
“Keuhh kuk! Buy and save me! Lee Regal Bagos!”
“If you want to live, tell me what happened here.”
“I’ll tell you…! I can’t hide everything!”
As the strangled explorer cried out desperately, the Regal Vagos also let go of the power in their hands.
Even if you are punished, you have to listen to the circumstances.
[Speaks again. The Eye of the Sky has been destroyed.]
[We will head to the contact area from now on.]
After that communication, the message stone became inoperable, so he hurriedly returned with his troops and couldn’t figure out exactly what had happened here. .
That’s why…….
“To sum it all up, you just stared at it without doing anything until they came in and destroyed the Eye of the Sky and ran away using the scalpel teleport.”
The more I heard the circumstances, the more anger surged like a tidal wave.
“That’s it… Regal Bagos is out on the campaign, and his troops are empty—.”
“You mean it’s my fault?”
“Keah kuhk! Oh no! It’s just because they cowardly dragged the monsters…! That said, we couldn’t do it!”
“…a piece of crap.”
Soon, as the Regal Vagos energized his hand, the terrified explorer vomited out one person’s name.
“Tittana Aqurava!”
“Titana Aquraba…?”
It was a name that the man also knew.
By the time he joined Orculis, he was one of the most renowned explorers of his time.
“That old woman was there…?”
“It’s not just her! Fire Golden Hawk James Carla! White Sword Kaislan! There were so many other famous explorers! Please have mercy…!”
The explorer, who felt death intuition, begged in a trembling voice, and then a man walked slowly from afar, saying,
“Vagos, stop it. They couldn’t help it.”
Cale Elbard Zenegger.
He was the one who acted as the staff of the group he led.
When he heard the news that the royal family’s expedition had infiltrated through Ice Rock, he was the one who asked us not to act rashly and protect this place.
Is that why?
I thought I should have listened to this guy, but on the other hand, I felt repulsive.
“Keil, you don’t step out. I’m just trying to punish you properly.”
“If so, why is that man? Everyone should be responsible for not being able to protect this place. It’s not fair.”
“Then we can punish everyone here.”
The explorers who had only noticed those words shook their shoulders, and the man who had been giving advice sighed and took out the last card.
“…If that’s the case, the captain won’t stand still.”
Head of Orcules.
Traitor Ricardo Lühenprague.
“This bastard…!”
At that name, Regal Bagos also got angry and grabbed the staff member by the collar, but that was all.
No matter how much he was, he couldn’t ignore the name.
“Now that something like this has happened, the captain, who was on the front line, will return soon and try to figure out the situation. For now, don’t be alarmed and wait.”
“…Sheesh.”
In the end, Regal Bagos cooled his anger inwardly.
I didn’t want to make things more reprehensible in the midst of not knowing what the leader would say just by ignoring the staff’s words and going outside.
But…
“The man after the blood spirit? Lichen Shuitz?”
“Yes yes! I’m sure. He was the head of the expedition. I’m sure I heard him called Shuitz! Most of all, he used [Giant] too!”
Regal Bagos’ body trembled as he calmed down his excitement and investigated the ‘guy’ who made fun of him.
This is because as soon as I heard [Giantness], I felt an unknown sense of deja vu.
“Kale!”
“What are you doing?”
“Bring the Message Stone.”
The staff did not even question his order and took out the message stone, and Regal Vagos snatched it.
And…
click.
The recorded voice was played back by manipulating the buttons.
[me? The front yard of Neg’s house.]
[If you know, come find me?]
[Yes, work hard.]
The voice of ‘That Guy’ makes your fists work just by listening to it.
At the same time, that voice that seemed to have been heard somewhere.
clack clack clack.
Regal Bagos, who was playing the recorded voice over and over again, soon let go of his hands and laughed.
“…I thought it was a familiar voice.”
Was that so
Regal Bagos finally realized the identity of the owner of the voice.
[Speaks again. The Eye of the Sky has been destroyed.]
[We will head to the tangent area from now on.]
The enemy who did not remember for over three years until he recovered his body and regained his memory due to Amelia Rain Wales’ betrayal.
A thief who stole a precious sword obtained at a great price.
I thought I was dead until now.
“Are you alive?”
Perhaps the royal family knows his true identity.
No, it might have been the royal family’s fault for faking death in the first place.
Otherwise, there would be no way that an expedition with a big player like Aqlava would have been appointed as the head of an expedition that was reputed to be a ‘man after the blood spirit’.
“Bjorn Yandel.”
As if recalling the anger of the day, Regal Bagos stood up after silently reciting his name.
“Kale! Gather all the troops! We’ll track down the fugitives from now on!”
“But the captain hasn’t arrived yet—”
“It’s okay. I take all the responsibility.”
It’s time to meet again.
***
Deadwood.
It is a field located in the western part of the Dragon Mountains, a territory of Noark that has never allowed the royal family to invade during the war, and also a
meeting area that has been promised with the royal family in advance.
“…….”
Waiting with bated breath there.
There’s no way they haven’t heard from us, so we believe they’ll come to the rescue if we wait.
“…….”
Crouching over the huge branches of trees that have lost their vitality, the anxious time continues.
It’s also the third day.
“If we had been contacted and immediately moved the main unit, it would have arrived yesterday.”
“Why… not coming!”
“Sir Kaislan, lower your voice. He says he can’t use voice control magic anymore because he doesn’t have enough energy.”
Until yesterday, everyone was encouraging each other, saying that the main unit would arrive soon, but the atmosphere gradually began to sharpen.
That’s natural.
The first death occurred this morning.
‘Philip Eintropy.’
He was an explorer who belonged to Melend Kaislan’s team.
His class was a navigator.
[Ocean current control] [Light weight] [Oversupply], etc. He mainly learned skills that would be useful for navigation, and died in the morning battle. We
had enough magic, but it was because the magic of stealth was temporarily broken because the magicians ran out of stamina.
The Noarks who were searching downstairs found us, and while fighting forcibly, our heads were crushed and we died instantly.
And that’s how it was . Now, a few more hours have passed.
”
Suitz, it’s not safe here
either . ”
The search will be intensified.
Even so, the number of Noarks passing down here is much higher than before. ”
We have to
make a decision.” What do you mean?”
“I can’t stay here forever. If rescuers don’t come, it’s better to abandon this place.”
“…What are you talking about! Did the royal family abandon us?”
“I didn’t say that. It’s just… the fact that we couldn’t be contacted……. If there is a situation on the other side, it’s right for us to actively move accordingly.” “There is a
point, but I’m the opposite. How far can you go when everyone is so tired? If discovered along the way, it will be annihilated.”
“So let’s wait? until when? Two days from now, the wizard’s magic will run out, right? Wouldn’t it be annihilation then?”
As always in an emergency situation, the opinions were divided.
‘ Haa……’
I only let out a deep sigh
.
That I had to make a choice in some way.
‘I’m going to go crazy.’
There are a total of three options.
The first one is to wait here in silence.
If the best outcome comes out, we will all be rescued intact.
On the other hand, if the worst outcome… ‘
I’ll die here as a dog.’ ‘
The second is to move without waiting and directly break through to the royal family’s sphere of influence.
Deadwood is far less important than the Dragon’s Mountains, so the front line is thin and there are few troops. That’s why it was
chosen as the tangent area. It’s
a completely ridiculous delusion . But
…
‘It’s really hard with less than 30 people.’
Even if only 10% of them arrive alive, it is close to a miracle.
In the worst case, it will be the same as the first one
.
The third is a kind of survival strategy.
As if the side of the base that was far from the front line was empty, if you go there and hide, you might be able to hold out until the labyrinth closes
. It won’t be shared until then.’ However, being exposed to risks for the longest period of time among the options above, it
is obvious that you will be exposed to numerous variables
.
Everyone dies.’
When the thought reached that point,
I laughed for some reason. I suddenly thought of that.
In the worst case, if the ending is annihilation anyway. When the best result comes out, isn’t it
reasonable to make the first choice that everyone can live with?
“…is an asshole.” “If we leave
and
the main force arrives! then! You can take responsibility then… Huh? What did you just say?”
I opened my mouth, roughly ignoring Kaislan’s question.
Even if I’m not sure about that choice.
Tuk-tuk.
Someone has to make a decision.
“Everyone, get ready and get out of here from now on.
” You mean you won’t wait?”
“Yes, the wind has already been blown enough. Oh, and don’t worry too much.”
I smiled at Kaislan.
“I’ll take all the responsibility.”
