ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 458: Drago, Oh Dragon! PART 35 Part 2

「If we defeat the clones, the horns and their power will be freed once more, but if we won’t defeat them, the clones will be rampaging about the battlefield with no end in sight…… And we would not want that, so thanks but no thanks.」

「I can see that when it comes to this battle it is one troublesome thing after another, huh…… Karoshis! We need to regroup, and we need to do it now! Divide our forces into five equal parts, that’s for starters! And appoint some sub leaders as well! We cannot possibly hope to manage all of those mini battles all on our own! And if they just keep on attacking without any coordination, it won’t get them anywhere!」

「Alright! Roger that! But I also think that we need to rotate our forces in between the clones and the main body! That way we should make it easier for all the participants that are currently fighting here!」

「Alright, then I’m going to leave everything in here in your capable hands! So make sure to not screw this up! Hey, Sanraku! If you keep on making some flashy attacks like that, it will only make me want to contribute something to this fight as well, you know!?」

「Yeah, sure, go right ahead and do that! Fine by me! Oh, and also…… You don’t mind if my cannon also joins in on the fight, do you……?」

All of a sudden the crowd of players opened up to let a huge set of mechanical armor pass through. It was coming right towards Sanraku and Saiga-100 at a tremendous speed…… and then it came to a full stop right in front of Sanraku. Looking closely, there was also a Vorpal Bunny sitting right on top of the mecha’s head.

「Report: Mission Accomplished, My Master. I have succeeded in procuring the individual named Emul.」

「Sanraku-san! I’m here! Just like you wished!」

「Alright, Emul! This is it! The final showdown! So go out there and blow all of that magical load of yours right into Siegwurm’s ugly face!」

「Alright!」

Humans. Vorpal Bunnies. Mechanical Dolls.

Seeing the members of three different races standing side by side and fighting together caused a huge smile to appear on Siegwurm’s face. For him, it was a really nostalgic sight, seeing individuals so different and yet united under the banner of the same goal.

「TRYING TO AIM AT MY HORNS AND BREAK THEM, HUH……? KUKUKUKU…… OH, IT BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES……」

And while Saiga-100, who was watching the scene up close, was getting a little jealous of the fact that this player was taking a key role in the ongoing events, and that he most probably went to the places she had no opportunity of going to and seeing the things she was yet to see.

「From here on out this will just be a matter of good field control and switching the fighters every now and then…… Sanraku! I’m going to assist you, so go out there and create a frontline!」

「Fine by me! But don’t you dare to stab me from behind! Then I will get really mad!」

The incision is the bluish-purple ax spear halberd, and the commander’s holy sword is placed behind, and a platoon of weapons with six famous swords and magic swords as servants is assembled.

The aim is the Golden Dragon King, and other players who were confused by the impact of the appearance of Siegwurm’s clone also hold their weapons and form a siege net surrounding Siegwrum once again.

「THEN COME RIGHT AT ME HERE!!! PREPARE FOR YOUR DEATHS AND I SHALL DO THE SAME…… PROVE TO ME THAT YOUR BLOOD IS STRONG ENOUGH TO BEST MY THUNDER AND FIRE!!!」

Let us go back in time for a little bit.

「Well, I must say that in the beginning I was rather skeptical about this thing…… About that original plan of yours involving gathering all of the clear conditions for the Unique Scenario EX and getting them done all in one fell swoop……」

There is a woman who just keeps on spinning words out of her mouth without stopping even for a single moment.

「I knew that ShangriLa Frontier’s systems tend to be crazy, I mean, it is kind of this game’s staple characteristic at this point in time, but still…… I wonder if it will also mean that it will be possible to save this thing and turn it around once the Quest Collapse is going to be upon us? I would like to avoid that, of course, but you never know……」

And this whole situation was only possible because that Akitsu Akane fellow managed to make contact with the Black Dragon Noirlind. Otherwise a situation like their current one would only remain in the realm of if and maybes, never to become reality.

In other words, the fact that the White Dragon Bryleinego, the Red Dragon Red Howl, and the Green Dragon Brockentreed all came here at the same time is not because of some quest conditions. It is purely because some player actions led them to come here.

When the White Dragon looked at the front line base, the only thing she said was: “This will be a good place to relocate myself into”.

The Green Dragon Brockentreed seemed to be convinced that Tottori the Simane was here.

「Is it just me, or does it feel like someone steered them all into coming here at the same time, hmm?」

「Hmm, I see? That is certainly an interesting theory to have there……」

One woman is asking the question, and the other woman is answering them.

One woman was spinning around while brandishing her golden spear as if it was as light as a feather. Another woman was holding onto a staff and casting spells with its help. The two of them may have been smiling at one another, but you could say that those were just masks. What could have been hiding behind those masks? Nobody knows.

「It’s not like I’m trying to point my fingers at anyone or anything here, but if there is even a sliver of chance of this being the truth, then I can’t possibly ignore it, now can I?」

「…… Fufufu, at least let me say this here: no matter what it may be here, I can assure you that it won’t abbreviate all that much from what you guys had planned.」

「So how is it? I have heard rumors that you are interested in our dear Sanraku-kun, but what it is exactly that you are scheming……?」

Arthur Pencilgon and Deepslaughter. Two women wearing smiles for masks. With not traces of hostility to be felt in between them, the two meet at the edge of the currently ongoing battlefield.

「Arthur Pencilgon, you are the master of the guild that Sanraku belongs to…… So I’d say that it would be nice if we could get along with one another?」

「As long as we shall keep our relations purely business-like, my dear Deepslaughter-chan?」

Those who created this situation in the first place. Those who gathered here to participate in the events unfolding. What are both sides going to say here?
