2717 - - 72-37 Next move

While Jin and his group were strengthening their defenses on Horai Island, <>'s > was also making his next move.

<> is ......>>.

1. they refuse to even exchange information with others who belong to different groups.

2. The way it does so is closer to antagonism than to rejection. 2. It seems to be hostile only when approached more than necessary.

3. It has the same appearance as our security golem, but its performance is much higher.

It was guessed to be .......

So <> dispatches more golems.

Fortunately, the number of Golems in <> was large, and not only for security purposes.

This is because they have been produced and enriched little by little over the course of 4000 years.

>. And they had more engineers than us, so they were making improvements......>>.

If you are right, it is no wonder that the Golem at the Oeste base has higher performance than the one at the Jonar base, which has been making the same Golem (and had no choice but to keep on making it), because they kept on improving it.

<>.

Concluding this, <> decides to send out ten guard golems.

The method is <>.

Even though they had lost contact, <<1(Uno)>> and <<2(Dos)>> had set up a <> 50 km before their destination.

If Jin had heard this, he might have said, "That sounds like a save point.

The difference is that it is not an actual save point, but a base for retreat and reinforcements.

< was set up under the overhanging eaves of a large rock.

It was not permanent, and could be maintained for a few days or months at most.

As a side note, the ...... magic circle takes longer to activate than the warp gate, even though it is from the <> of the <>.

In comparison, the <> can transfer an object in about 0.3 seconds after activation, but the <> takes about 30 seconds.

This time lag is significant in an emergency.

However, since it does not require a special magical device (Magi Device). It is a great advantage that it can be placed anywhere with the knowledge and skill to draw a precise magic circle.

* * * * * * * * * *

< has sent more reinforcements.

A member of the Shinobi Forces who was monitoring the shifting magic circle, Shih-Shi, reports to Horaijima.

The old man thought that he would take this opportunity to get more information about the magic circle used by the <.

Is there any difference compared to what is already known?　If so, why?

Is there something better than what is already known?

We wanted to conduct such an investigation.

As it turned out, it did not make any difference.

Incidentally, the local Shinobi Unit, Hope, Lando1, and Smith1 have returned to Horai Island in turns to undergo remodeling.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

The ten golems sent out by the transfer magic circle arrived at their destination in a little over an hour.

And as before, they were allowed to act autonomously at the site.

However, one of them was under the control of .

This time, that one will be <<1> and will be in command.

The following golems are <<2>> to <<10>>.

［All right, first of all, let's retrieve <<1> and <<2>. <<<10>>>,go!]

［Go!]

The golem called <<10>> approaches the two stopped golems.

［It doesn't stop, does it?]

That's no wonder. Jin has already retrieved the bullets from the magic tools used.

［The effect may have worn off with the passage of time. Be on your guard, <<10>>.]

［Yes, sir.]

First, <<10>> drags <<1>>, whose legs are still intact.

<<1> confirms this himself.

［There's nothing out of the ordinary. ......]

Since there are no magic tools, the effects of <> and <> have also expired.

So, you are simply forced to <>.

［<>

...... Yes.

<<1> rebooted without any problem.

［Do you have anything to report?

Yes. I don't know what kind of attack it was, but it seems to have stopped due to a sudden decrease in mana.

［I see. ...... Make sure the conversation takes place on the magic line.]

［Yes, sir.]

［That's fine. ...... This is a tentative name for a ...... that should be in this vicinity, but it's so that ......'s magical brain can listen in.]

<1>>"We'll have them listen in on purpose, to show them we're here," <1> explained.

［Okay.]

［...... Next up was <<2>.

Now <1> went to <2>.

He then drags <<2(doss)>> with him, holding the two cut legs.

<<1>> examines <<2(doss)>>.

［Hmm, other than the cut on his leg, there's nothing unusual about him.]

Then he restarts <<2(dos)>>,

［<1(uno)>, you may now announce yourself as <11>. <<2(dos)>> is <<12>>. And since <<12>> will not be able to move, have <<11>> carry him to the transfer magic circle.]

And he ordered <<11>> to repair it when they returned to the Jonar base.

［Leave this to us.]

［Understood.]

And <<1>(Uno)><11> and <2>(Dos)><12> returned to once more. They returned to <> once.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

［Now, we must search for the Oeste base. I don't know what they call their base, though.]

［Understood.]

And the search begins.

This time there are ten of them, so we split into five groups of two each and walk around a larger area.

［It's a pity that, at this stage of the game, there is no more effective way to find them. ......]

<1>(=Jonathan) walks around the area blabbing.

He waits for the to appear. .......
