Despite this, they kept repeating this ridiculous task, probably because they had no other choice.
(Can’t we even do this?)
If the repeated tasks of the "Theon" can be dealt with using human sea tactics, more time and manpower can be saved.
But Xiaojing and the others couldn't even rush into the darkness.
He can't even achieve that level of...combat strength.
Without the weapons obtained from "Witch's General Store", even normal attacks would be difficult, and even simple tasks like this would not be helpful.
In that case, just like Hummingbird said, it will only become a burden to Theon.
"Do you really know nothing?"
Xiaojing clenched her fists tightly, as if her nails were about to sink into her.
Presumably only Anna, Misty, and Hummingbird, who were standing near the bridge, could hear it.
"...Rather, why do you do this? What's wrong with leaving things you can't do to people who can do it?"
As the saying goes, people should make the best use of their talents, and Hummingbird is right.
It is by no means a bad thing to entrust the magician named Xion with what Achid and the others cannot do as humans.
——Even so, is it right to blame everything on him?
Just when Ajit asked himself, a brisk melody sounded on the bridge at an inappropriate time.
The source is the mobile phone in Xiaojing’s breast pocket.
"!"
Aki noticed this and answered the phone without hesitation.
I knew this was by no means an action that should be taken in combat, but my instinct told me that the call coming in at this time was no accident.
"Hello, Mr. Lightsaber Captain, please let me help quickly."
Miranda's voice carried across the bridge through the loudspeaker.
She seemed to know everything about what was going on here, and after a few casual pleasantries, she got down to business.
"I know everything that's happening over there now, including what happened with Xion. ... It seems too ridiculous."
“We want to help Easter, is there anything we can do?”
"...The kid seems to have met a very good person."
With a hint of joy in her voice, Anna answered calmly: "I don't know."
"Although I live a long life, I am just a witch. I only know about magic, but not war...so I don't know what you can do now."
"Yeah……"
"However, I can help you...it's not me, it's my daughter."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight noise from the mobile phone.
"Did you hear that? I'm a witch who went to investigate the area."
A girl's voice different from Miranda's came from the speaker. It seems to have switched to a multi-person call.
"I will help everyone in the 'Ghost'! Although I don't have the power like Grandma Miranda, I am within the scope of what I can do! There are also obstacles on the deck, please don't attack me."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, I hurriedly looked at the deck, and there was indeed a figure in a black cloak standing there.
Not to mention the black cloak, what is particularly impressive is the ancient bamboo broom in his hand.
Although I care about when it appeared, there are more important things than that right now.
"Without further ado, what can you do on the deck?"
"Is the current situation to use a magic defense wall to protect this battleship? Because its size can only last a few minutes, but if it is an arm of earth, I can resist it. I can also use some offensive magic later."
"Also, let's call me Jem." She said, and I agreed while thinking.
Miranda, who lent so much material and wisdom this time, since it is left to him, there is no need to doubt James' ability.
If "Mistolstan" can be protected by a defensive wall, Chunma and other mobile armored troops can be sent to cover Theon.
But is this the best approach?
Even if Haruma and the others went to a dark place, there would be almost nothing to do.
"The most important thing now is to find out the whereabouts of the big diver in the dark... In that case!"
Including the help of the witches, Aki thought of a way based on everything he could use now.
I'm afraid I won't be able to come up with anything better if I spend more time.
Having made this judgment, Ajit quickly explained the strategy to the members and witches on the bridge.
"Captain! That's too dangerous! The worst thing is that the 'Mist' will sink!"
After explaining, Mist immediately retorted with a wailing voice, but Akid always remained calm.
"I understand this, but I think this is the best choice. And if Istar can't defeat the big diver if we continue to wait and see, then we are all doomed."
"Having said that..."
"Lord James, what about you?... I'm afraid you bear the greatest burden."
"Ah?! To be honest, I'm so scared that I don't want to do it..."
Jem was creating a negative atmosphere when Miranda's "ho ho ho" voice broke in.
"I think that's a good idea...right, Jem?"
"Although I have a plan, am I capable of it..."
"If you don't skimp on the gems...that's okay, right?"
"...You are right."
"So, there is no problem with Jem. As long as she has the will, she is more capable than the self-report just now."
Although it may seem a bit overwhelming, the most important gem should be no problem.
If so, the battle plan can be implemented.
"Lord Hummingbird, if necessary, can I open the cage and let you escape?"
Like Mist said, the worst case scenario is that the "Misttine" will fall off.
Miranda understands magic and Jem's strength better than Ji and the others. She thinks there will be no problem, but there is a possibility.
"...It's so arrogant to imitate Lord Theon. He's not weak enough to be worrying."
But Hummingbird unhappily rejected Ajid's proposal. Then he spoke into his headphones.
"Lord James, even though it is insignificant, I will help you... Even though you are at the bottom, this is the magic power of God's Familiar. It should be very suitable for filth."
"Really? Great! I'll control the details, please concentrate on turning the magic."
"Understood."
The hummingbird talking to Jem surprised Aki and the others.
"...Are you locked in a birdcage?"
"What is blocked is "trying to escape from the birdcage." If you don't have the intention to escape, you can more or less do it."
"But how has your mood changed?"
Hummingbird, who had always shown a negative attitude towards the battle, suddenly made a request for assistance.
To Xiaojing and the others, this was a surprising change.
"Even if you tell him to run away, this idiot won't listen. Even such an idiot cannot ignore death... As a dependent of the military god Huitzilopochtori, since he has made up his mind to fight, You can’t ignore him.”
So, I had no choice but to cooperate, Hummingbird turned his face and said.
I don’t know if it’s because I really have no choice, or if I’m trying to hide my shyness.
It's just that in this situation, he can help her, which is extremely grateful to Xiaojing.
After saying thank you, the other party would turn his face away, but Xiaojing was not in a bad mood.
"Mist, we implement the strategy, do you have any objections?"
"……No."
"Can other members do it too?"
Although Mist was dissatisfied, he still nodded.
The other bridge members responded forcefully.
In this case, Xiaojing has no reason to hesitate.
"——Let's attack the mysterious darkness from now on...!"
"Ah! Really, I can't see anything!"
Xion, who was driven out of the darkness, said viciously to Shanda.
Since just now, I have jumped into the darkness many times to find the location of the big dive, but the view in the darkness is even worse than from the outside - I can't see anything.
Not to mention the sensors, even Theon was disturbed by the strong filth and could not sense satisfactorily.
"Master Xion, even if you can block it with a defensive wall, I still don't admire you for rushing into a filthy environment so many times."
"I know, but other than that, I have no way of finding out where he is."
As the source of the invaders, it is a curse that will exist as long as the world lasts.
Things that are invisible to humans and often exist in this world like air, but if you accidentally come into contact with something that can be seen and condensed, you will not be safe.
Soon the soul becomes tainted, causing physical problems in the best case and death in the worst case.
