ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 463: Dragon, Oh Dragon! PART 40 Part 2
* * * ? ? ? * * *
Let’s explain! Sasolis Nomata is a prototype building that was verified and approved by one of the top Carpenters belonging to the Guild “Library”.
And there is one more thing that was verified here: It is possible to declare war even if you carry a handicap of the enemy’s fortress being several times larger even if the resource values are the same?
Skull Azuchi Castle’s tower uses a large amount of monster material for its outer shell, and its resource value is actually tens of thousands, which is a nonstandard value.
If so, how could one possibly prepare a building that can counter it…… And the answer here is Sasolis Nomata!
「Would it be okay to earn resource value by using a large amount of rare gems and rare materials of crystal scorpions to create tiles and such?」
It is a shack that is ostensibly sober, built in the territory of Skull Azuchi Castle. But its insides would put even as surreal of a place as Skull Azuchi Castle to shame. That’s how weird and unrealistic it was.
The materials used to create it are all high–rare, high-resource gems, ores, and crystals, all of which are devoted to decorating the interior of the hut!
As a side note, the number of challenge runs that the material provider needed to take to procure it all was fifty eight! Then it was just a matter of passing the materials to the player in the Library.
「Can a person really remove humanity from their movement to that extent?」
And with that being said……

Sasolis Nomata has no attack function, as one might have expected by its looks. So no surprise there.
Sasolis Nomata has almost no defense function whatsoever. So here there are no surprises, either.
But Sasolis Nomata has Kyogoku on its side, which is more than enough to assure its survival.
「It’s a shame that you are not from some bigger guild, you know?」
「Guha!?」
Tonight, Kyogoku’s Black Sword “Kenryu Gokaku” was hungry for blood like never before. And because of that Kyogoku has been moving forward while committing one act of violence after another
「…………」
One of the tips to attain success in Bakumatsu Online is to constantly move while anticipating you opponent’s actions, thus acting from one surprise to another, like a cold-blooded machine. It’s a risky strategy, but something way better than having to constantly be wary of surprise attacks yourself.
「Hiding behind something, is that your idea of a surprise attack? I have seen it all before, so I’m all used to it by now.」
「H-How!? I was making sure that you wouldn’t see me……!?」
「Kuh, at this rate she is going to be unstoppable! Kill her! Stop thinking about you own well—being and kill her!!」
Bakumatsu Online Trivia Number Two: always aim for one on one battles, never try to go one versus many. It’s like asking to get yourself killed.
「Guh, this is……」
「She pierced his throat like it was nothing……!?」
「I wish that a surprise attack of this level was enough to actually make me feel something…… But hey, at least you tried. So points for that, at least. Try to do a better job next time around.」
You don’t always have to settle matters here and now. If you can’t return to battle until the battle with the surprise attacker is over, just don’t do it. Therefore, by applying a mental “shaking” that piercing someone’s throat can create, the movement of other people was stopped with an effect more than simple damage could ever hope to accomplish.
Two quick flashes. Slashing the surprise attacker and stabbing the other person who holds his throat in shock and disbelief. It’s a shame that people here can’t bleed, but oh well. Kyogoku then puts the sword away into its sheath and presses on like nothing out of the ordinary happened here.
「Now then…… No matter how many small fries I will defeat, unless I take the enemy commander’s head, this won’t be a total victory. And since I have only one life at this, I need to be extra careful……」
Bakumatsu Online Trivia Number Three: if it means scoring an awesome Divine Punishment, recklessness can be forgiven! It’s the thrill of the challenge that counts!
「Just for the case like that I have brought a whole lot of recovery potions with me. So I guess I can knock myself out with this, right?」
After all, there is no way that normal players can have any chance against a human being contaminated with the color of Bakumatsu Online and its madness. It’s just a wall that cannot be beaten, no matter how hard one might try.
* * * * * *
「A siege battle, huh……. I guess that they must have decided to take Skull Azuchi Castle out of the picture in order to get rid of the anti-Noirlind buff the place is supplying the players with…… Or not. They might actually have an entirely separate reason for acting the way they did.」
Although it was something that was totally unexpected even for E-Miria herself, she still had her role to play here. And even if it meant asking her best friend for something she would normally never even think of doing, it would only be a matter of apologizing to her friend enough times later on. Skull Azuchi Castle needed to stay strong in order to see this battle to its conclusion. Having thought that, E-Miria let out a sigh and her thoughts naturally started to switch gears inside of her head.
「Once again, thank you so much for this. You did not have to listen to my unreasonable request, but you did it nonetheless.」
「Ahaha, no need to apologize. I don’t really mind it all that much. “Wolfgang” Guild…… Welp, they might have formed an alliance with some over the top guilds recently, but a thing like that does not sit all that well with me. It’s….. How should I put it……? It feels way too squishy. Now the question here is: who is the correct one here? But anyways, without enemies in here there would be no fun, so at least I am grateful for that!」
Speaking of the current situation, it can be said that the flow of the decisive battle phase is leaning mostly towards defeating Siegwrum, especially after that intervention from the Lady Saint.
But even so, there are those who agreed to fight alongside E-Miria in this conflict. And there was no real reason to think too much about it, or having to suffer needlessly because of Noirlind. And even if some of the guilds are starting to turn into their enemies, there are also those who would choose to stand right next to E-Miria and fight against Noirlind. So she was not alone in this.
If that was the case, it would be just like the leader of “Tempura Knights”, currently the largest guild in ShangriLa Frontier, said.
At the current moment it doesn’t matter all that much which side is right and which side is wrong. What’s important is that each side has something that they would like to accomplish with one another, and for doing that they would not hesitate to do everything that is possible in their power to accomplish those things.
「Alright, let’s go!」
The morning sun is drawing closer and the light of the moon is getting further and further away.
The battle between Gold Dragon and Black Dragon was approaching its climax fast.
