Legions Grow On My Phone

chapter 13



13 Tue – True Power (2)

The Legion certainly has tremendous potential.

With its potential, it has become a force that crosses the great stairs from the cell mass of the lowest layer.

However, there were so many different kinds of living things in the ecosystem of this vast cave.

[The results of the reconnaissance are out. Countless traces were found, but unfortunately, no traces of the group were found on the next floor]

“…what did the Legion decide?”

[Actually, the Legion is used to doing this. It is about acquiring and analyzing unknown information. But now I’m a little more careful]

In fact, the corps only strengthened reconnaissance, but took no action.

Because we were the ones who knew better than anyone how strong the group was.

In the first place, he hadn’t absorbed the entire stairway yet.

“The problem is not the simple group that is supposed to be the opponent. What about in this case?”

[You mean the player’s units fighting each other? Of course, there is only one answer.]

Even though it is a simple letter, there is something cool about it.

I was somewhat expecting an answer.

“Fight?”

[Competition, victory, culling. what the hell is the problem That’s what the original ecosystem is like]

We spoke almost simultaneously.

Of course, even if I knew this, I was not at ease.

“If we win, the opposing player…”

[If we lose, you die too]

I shut my eyes tight.

Yes, the moment I got caught up in this strange app in the first place.

From that moment on, everything is twisted.

I enjoyed it like raising ants, but now I can’t take it lightly.

“…Then we have to win. What should we do?”

[As always, you watch your children. when they seem clogged. Then tell me how

In the end, it didn’t change what I was doing.

All I have to do is watch as I always do.

And… if I could give anything, it was just to help.

“First of all, you need to know what the hell these guys are doing.”

[Yes. In fact, the Legion continues its reconnaissance while accumulating energy to detonate. The place we will call the 11th Stairway was a small tributary that did not qualify as a Grand Staircase. There are only traces of them here, and the traces lead upstairs]

The Legion made use of the scouts of various sizes that it had made so far, sparingly.

From small bees to lizards like wyverns with wings of birds and bats.

As a result of scouring the 11th floor, only traces were obtained.

Then the conclusion was drawn.

They came out of the ‘expedition’ from the upper floors down.

“If the other person saw us… wouldn’t they know?”

I forgot the obvious.

It is the racial characteristic of our corps and the strongest strength.

[right. We are not alone in the absence of data. No, the disadvantage in information warfare is the opponent. see The Legion’s scouts have found something]

The screen flickered as if he had just found something.

He struggled to contain his pounding heart and looked at the screen.

I could see the 12th floor being observed by a scout in the form of a bee.

“…mouse?”

Thousands of living creatures were seen.

It’s just that these guys, like so many beasts living here, didn’t fit my common sense at all.

Fluffy hair.

Black eyes and sniffling nose.

A long tail and a compact physique that is neither too big nor too small by this cave.

At least in terms of appearance, it’s a perfect mouse.

“No, but what kind of rats…”

It’s just that the actions and detailed movements they take were the complete opposite of the rats in my common sense.

First of all, the people who gathered together as if they were a reconnaissance force and were on a four perimeter guard were standing hunched over and using their hands freely.

Besides, he had various tools in his hands.

A spear with a sharp awl at the tip, a crossbow loaded with needles, a shield or helmet made of pieces of metal, etc.

[The Legion has no information about metal. I can only guess that it would be quite strong enough to hunt earth dragons. Above all, they were collective and smarter than any living creature I had ever met.]

“I still don’t know where I’m from or how many there are.”

[They have spotted a friendly scout. A small lizard with bat wings. The corps deliberately threw out scouts to measure their fighting power as they had an argument.]

Then a collision occurred.

Some of the rats aimed their crossbows at the flying lizards.

It is an exquisitely crafted miniature crossbow. I decided that those rats couldn’t have made it themselves.

“&@%♤!”

With a squeaking sound, needles shining in the light of the glowstone were shot, piercing the lizard’s wings and body.

somewhat expected.

The scouts who had to fly in the sky in the first place had weak durability.

“..tt.”

However, seeing the bodies of the fallen scouts and seeing how they liked each other made their stomachs full.

[Ah, the legion is rejoicing]

“What?”

However, it seemed that the training was not enough for me to understand the corps yet.

[Tools, tools are coveted. I’m craving that shiny, hard, pointy thing. Those tiny furry beasts used mysterious objects to capture much larger opponents. It was that power that I coveted. The Legion was convinced that it was a new clue that would evolve us one step further. This will be recorded in our history. This is the moment I first encountered that the Legion was a tool]

“…Yes. The concept of a tool was first introduced.”

[Recognizing that that was the secret to the rats becoming stronger, the corps set a goal. I’m going to eat them and have that power. But they used those crude tools to catch the earth dragon. Obviously that’s not all of them.]

“Then what are you going to do?”

[There is only one answer. Eat some of them first and find out everything about them]

A mournful cry came from below.

My condolences to those mice.

I don’t know if those rats have a colony consciousness like us.

Those scouts will be hunted here.

[I don’t know what the racial characteristics they have. At first, the corps didn’t even care about that. Even if this moment is caught, what’s the problem? They’re just being eaten by a large new lizard downstairs.]

Legionaries with dark blue carapaces prepared to face the Earth Dragon climbed up and greeted them.

Even though it’s a mouse’s face, you can see the expression. hardened a lot.

[They are smart. It doesn’t seem like a match with only five, so he tries to run away. But the legion is sincere]

Dozens of large flying species with bat wings soared behind the small car-level lizards slowly crawling out at the same time.

“@%#&!”

The astonished bastards counterattack with crossbows.

However, in the first place, they were created with the assumption that air combat rather than reconnaissance was the case.

Large wings comparable to those of birds of prey.

They were clad in claws, stinger tails and carapaces, and they rushed in at once and slashed them to pieces.

[…a large beast that travels alone must have been easily hunted. But would they dare to hunt us? You will have to fight with us, not hunt.]

All the slaughtered corpses were collected and delivered to the nest downstairs where they were digested and absorbed.

All non-living objects, such as needles, crossbows, and spears that cannot be absorbed, were also recovered.

[The Legion is curious. What the hell are these tools? how to use it]

The gluttony of the Legion was now beyond simple predation.

*

[The corps begins to prepare for war]

Reconnaissance continued, and additional gnomes were found on the 13th floor.

I saw a fortress built using stones and mushrooms.

It’s rough, but it’s definitely a fortress.

There were at least over 100 rats there.

“Are you just trying to imitate them?”

I flinched and muttered.

If the Legion wanted this tool, I had to give it to you.

like the opposing player.

[Considering both efficiency and possibility, an optimal conclusion has been reached. It’s still premature. He was clearly envisioning a future that would evolve in a better, more efficient way.]

Surprisingly, however, the Legion was not obsessed with tools.

In terms of purpose, he is infinitely rational and cold.

Because in the first place, it was a creature that was incomprehensible to human emotions.

[Their response is dry and lukewarm. sure you don’t know Even the opposing player.]

The energy accumulated during that time began to be used explosively.

Hundreds or thousands of huge eggs started pouring out.

[It’s time to tell the true war to the arrogant furry, who have been hunting beasts, like us, and have been victorious. It is obviously a war of the same kind, between one faction]

[But who is better at war? The Legion was convinced it was us. There is no legion that is as good at warfare as us.]

It was an instantaneous situation.

The corps, which has steadily replenished its soldiers, will use a tactic of squeezing it down at once with an overwhelming quantity and a sword-like command and technique unique to the military consciousness.

It seemed to me that we could win if there were no means hidden by those rats.

“If you win a war with a player, what reward do you get? No, now let’s be honest. Those rat players…are you on Earth?”

I looked at the screen and muttered blankly.

One of the things I’ve been wondering about so far.

About how big the scale of this game board is.
