Lord of Training - Chapter 80



Only Krnovel

80. You made it too late.

Darkness has come.

Why can’t we get used to the darkness?

The abyss was this dark.

Where else on the other side would the gate have been created?

I’ve been lucky most of the time so far, so I hope I’ll be lucky this time too······.

The surroundings became brighter.

Creak! Creak!

‘Seagull?’

Seagulls are flying in the sky.

I looked behind me.

Lush palm trees and small waterfalls.

And then I saw the E-class dimensional gate I had created, 20 meters in diameter.

Oh! I’m so lucky.

Because the waterfall and palm trees perfectly obscured the dimensional gate.

There’s no need to worry about getting caught.

‘But which beach is this?’

First, I put the dimensional gate generator I had in my hand into the alchemist’s workshop.

Without this, I would never have thought of making such a plan.

A dimensional gate was created using a medium-sized dimensional core obtained from the Aquila Order.

Considering that a medium-sized dimensional core with 46% of dimensional energy remaining created an E-class dimensional gate, it seems that the medium-sized dimensional core is several times more concentrated than the small dimensional core.

It’s a shame to waste the medium-sized dimensional core, but there was nothing I could do.

‘I can’t just leave 11 orbital giants behind!’

That’s also bishop level.

The last legacy created by the elves was the Orbital Gigant.

It wasn’t a 7-meter-tall Knight-class orbital giant, but a 9-meter-tall Bishop-class orbital giant.

It’s not like the gigantic ones will disappear right away, but someone could come back and take them by raiding the S-rank labyrinth gate again.

When it was an unknown space, there was a vague fear, but it was a gate that had already been cleared once.

The strategy will come out in no time.

In particular, with five named-class aerial magic knights, it might be dangerous to take down an S-class dimensional dragon that flew in the sky, but it would be enough to take down S-class ground monsters like the scorpion monster that was caught yesterday.

The Lacrosse Empire had seven named-class magic knights, the Arica Republic had six, and the Atlan Kingdom had four.

Even if we force Harry into the team, Atlan is still 5 people.

At this level, it was impossible to conquer the S-rank labyrinth gate again.

Besides, you can’t empty the kingdom and the front lines and put the named people into the labyrinth gate all at once, right?

so······.

‘Atlan will not be able to attack the S-rank labyrinth gate for the time being!’

But an empire or a republic is quite possible.

There are a lot of named ones, and there will be twice as many elite-level aerial magic knights as there are of us.

If they attack the Labyrinth Gate again and obtain the Dimensional Core, they will take the Orbital Gigant.

I had no choice.

If all of this fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be a tilted game.

So I decided to take care of everything.

‘Let’s first find out where this place is.’

Paaaaang!

Soared into the air.

however!

‘I guess my luck has run out······.’

Of all places, this place happened to be an island.

Looking around, there were islands of similar size spread out far into the distance.

But it was a scene I had seen many times somewhere.

For a moment, the Kingdom of Nubua under the Kingdom of Atlan came to mind.

Half of the country is made up of islands, and it is a hot country all year round.

He was an enemy of Atlantis.

Most likely it is the Kingdom of Nubia.

‘Then how do you move 12 orbital giants to the territory?’

The Orbital Gigant was a Knight-class ship with a height of 7 meters, and was equipped with large caterpillar tracks on its bottom and cannons on its wide shoulders, so it could not even fit into a subspace warehouse (lv. 3) with a diameter of 10 meters.

Moreover, the Bishop-class ship was two meters taller than that ship, so I was worried about how to move this huge ship.

No matter how you get a ship, this is the Kingdom of Nubua, which is like enemy territory.

‘Let’s go back to the labyrinth gate for now.’

Now that I had a rough idea of ​​where this place was, I planned to go back into the labyrinth gate and start by getting the Orbital Gigant.

I stood again in front of the E-class gate I had come out of.

Swish!

***

The view is becoming more and more familiar.

This was the corner room I entered.

‘If we want to send an orbital giant through this gate, we’ll have to destroy the entire surrounding area.’

The gate is 20 meters wide, but this room is only 3 meters high. So even if it breaks down, it needs to be wider.

I sat there for a while and waited.

I waited for the mission to appear.

But the mission status window did not appear.

As expected, I didn’t enter through the original entrance, so the labyrinth gate system didn’t recognize me.

My gate was a kind of backdoor.

“Oh! I can bring my subordinates here later and have them level up!”

The inside of the labyrinth gate gave a lot of experience points, and the dimensional energy and mana concentration was several times higher than other gates.

So, you can hunt monsters and level up in a storm.

Before that, everyone needs to awaken the high-speed flight technique. If we meet the Dimensional Dragon, we’ll all be wiped out.

I headed to the hangar.

Eight Bishop-class orbital giants literally disappeared without a trace.

I moved to the Bishop-class orbital giant I was riding.

The hatch on the lower tracked vehicle was the driver’s seat, and the hatch on the chest was the combat cockpit with the spirit cannon and moving upper body.

Chi-chik!

– Colonel Alain!

Major Audrey’s voice was heard in an urgent tone.

I guess now you realize I’m not here.

You’re probably asking where I am?

In times like this, ignorance is the best.

Chi-chik!

“It’s me. Captain Alain.”

– Colonel Alain, where are you?

“Well, I don’t know. I’m in a strange place.”

– A strange place?

“I clearly came out of the labyrinth gate, but I fell into an unknown place.”

Chi-chik!

– Ah! Can I talk to you here?

This time it was the voice of Archduke Harry Russell.

Even Archduke Harry now knows that we use dimensional radio.

Chi-chik!

– Colonel Alain, you went somewhere else?

“Yes, that’s right. When I came to, I was in a completely unfamiliar place. And I was alone.”

– Huh! I don’t know what’s going on. We all came back out to the entrance of the labyrinth gate. Is that a safe place?

“Yes! It’s safe.”

Harry’s voice was worried about me.

Well, then, since you saved my life with the bulletproof vest I gave you, you’re like a savior to me.

Chi-chik!

“What happened with the Empire?”

– Nothing happened. When they first came out, everyone was mixed together and the atmosphere was tense, but soon the Empire and the Allied Forces separated and fell apart, and now they are moving to their respective camps.

I asked what I was most curious about.

“Are our battalion members safe?”

– Just wait a moment.

Chi-chik!

– This is Captain Phelps. Fortunately, there were no flying monsters in the area where the agents landed, so everyone is safe.

Phew! A sigh of relief was breathed.

But the soldiers’ casualties were unavoidable.

Nearly 5,000 soldiers went in, and only about 2,000 came out alive.

There were also quite a few casualties among the Atlan Kingdom’s troops.

The Imperial Army’s damage was said to be similar.

So, the right answer was to just pick out the Aviation Magic Knights from the beginning.

Chi-chik!

– What happened to the inheritance?

It was Archduke Harry’s voice again.

“Don’t worry. I brought it.”

– That’s fortunate.

“Where did the remaining two legacies go?”

– Unfortunately, two Knight-class orbital giants were taken from the Empire.

I also felt sorry about this.

So the Empire took 5 in total, Atlan took 4, including the one I took, and the Republic of Arica took 2.

It seemed likely that the Republic of Arica would soon attack the Labyrinth Gate again.

Because they have the smallest orbital gigantic footprint.

Chi-chik!

“Don’t worry about me, take care of your inheritance, and be careful when you withdraw.”

– Okay. You take care of yourself too.

Chi-chik!

– This is Major Audrey. I will take good care of the men, so don’t worry. If you know where it is, just contact me. We will come and pick you up.

“Okay.”

– But why is Lieutenant Colonel Nicole here in our battalion?

For a moment, Major Audrey’s tone seemed to become a little harsh.

Why are you asking questions?

“Huh? What? The radio is not working well. Are you running low on dimensional energy? I’ll contact you later.”

I turned off the dimensional radio.

Upon returning home, I planned to formally welcome Lieutenant Colonel Nicole Braschi into the battalion.

Since Major Audrey and Lieutenant Colonel Nicole are both elite-level magic knights, they will probably fight over who is better or what rank they have.

So it seemed like a good idea to give the two some time to get to know each other.

What’s important now?

‘It’s farming!’

Why is it that people only take the last inheritance?

The Elf base is so large, I’m sure there are many useful relics other than the Orbital Gigant.

First, I took out the small dimensional core from the orbital gigant I was riding and placed it in the workshop.

This will be re-equipped when farming is finished and you move to the orbital gigantic.

I started to slowly look around the base.

***

‘Yeah! There’s no way this won’t exist.’

I found dimensional radios. A lot of them.

There is nothing more useful on the battlefield than this.

It was possible that the Empire also had dimensional radios.

However, there was no possibility of mutual eavesdropping or confusion.

If you gather all the charged dimensional radios in one place, place a dimensional core or dimensional core fragment on them, and turn the power off and on at the same time, you will connect to a new dimension simultaneously.

And from then on, radio transmissions would only take place through the dimension we were connected to, so there was little chance of other dimensional radio devices eavesdropping.

I don’t know, but the number of dimensions would be enormous.

‘Now! What else is there?’

The place I was inspecting now was a military facility where soldiers were staying.

This elven base was divided into a living quarters for the soldiers, a weapons warehouse to store weapons, a research building to research various weapons and equipment, a production building to create orbital gigantics, and a hangar to store the completed gigantics.

First, I went into the armory.

“As expected, this is a more modern gun!”

My prediction was correct.

The higher the gate level, the more modern the equipment was.

[Draco Assault Rifle – An automatic rifle modified from an older rifle with enhanced portability and rapid fire capability.

The barrel is made of dragon bone to increase durability. (Automatic/semi-automatic selection possible) Uses 20-round magazine.]

Huh! It’s a rifle, but it holds 20 rounds!

Plus, it’s lightweight and can fire as quickly as a machine gun, so I really like it.

There are two types of pistols that I use now.

One was a Lebel-style magic gun from the Atlan Kingdom, and the other was an elven magic gun obtained from an E-rank labyrinth gate.

Both were eight-shot, semi-automatic.

However, this Draco assault rifle can be set to semi-automatic when using skills, and to automatic otherwise, allowing for volley fire or suppressive fire.

‘It’s a completely aerial magic knight!’

I got 108 Draco assault rifles.

In this case, there was no need to use a submachine gun.

If the Empire or the Republic of Arica saw this, they would be pounding the ground in regret.

So, you have to look at it carefully.

I took hundreds of boxes containing special magazines and special bullets.

I put enough bullets in the workshop to last me a while without using any of them.

‘This is why I can’t open the labyrinth gate.’

Farming continued.

I found a pair of goggles on a shelf in one corner.

Of course, the elves also had aerial magic knights.

‘Huh? The color is changing?’

Those were unusual goggles.

It is made of spirit crystal and automatically changes color when exposed to light to protect the eyes.

These were goggles with an automatic tinting function.

Now I guess I’ll have to rewrite my air tactics textbook.

The elves’ magical engineering technology was beyond imagination.

It must have evolved because it had to fight the dimensional dragon in the sky.

I also got 80 pairs of auto-tinting goggles.

‘Haha! This has now been commercialized.’

We also found a bulletproof vest made from dragon bone plates.

At the D-class gate, it was just a prototype, but now there were dozens of these bulletproof vests.

Of course, I take care of this too.

With all these personal gear and orbital gigants, how did the elven dimension fall into ruin? I wondered.

‘Ah! I made it too late······.’

I felt bitter.

During the E-class labyrinth gate era, the elves were preparing for war among themselves.

During the D-class Labyrinth Gate era, the city and its surroundings were reduced to ruins by the Dimensional Dragon. Only then did the elves begin research to stop the Dimensional Dragon.

And it was only in the era of the S-class Labyrinth Gate that they were able to create a large number of weapons that could fight against dimensional monsters.

But now, there were 20 Bishop-class orbital giants in the hangar here, and a large number of new guns and equipment were found in the armory here.

That means there would have been a shortage of magic elves to use this weapon.

I paused for a moment to reflect on the elf who created this.

I’ll put this to good use to keep out monsters if they invade.

Of course, it is also used to protect the territory.

‘Then shall we go to the research building now?’

[Research Building]

‘What were they making here?’

Even though I’ve only cleared two of the labyrinth gates, I’ve always found good stuff in the lab.

Or maybe a dimensional core.

‘Ah! I have to search for the dimensional core first.’

I turned on the dimension detector.

And the search scope gradually expanded.

“haha!”

Laughter broke out.

There is a red light.

This wasn’t at the legacy level.

If so, then the dimensional core was clear.

That’s close too.

‘Where is this room······.’

First of all, I couldn’t see anything like a vacuum tube.

That’s why Archduke Harry and Brigadier General Enhardt couldn’t find it.

Why didn’t I think there would be more?

Well, Archduke Harry was busy running away, and Brigadier General Anne was busy chasing him.

Thanks to you, I’m the only one who benefits.

As we narrowed the detection range, the red light from the dimensional detector pointed above the corner table.
