[Time goes back (back), just after a fleet of pitch-black fleets appeared in Mongolia -]

"Like Gojo said, you really showed up."

"I've been preparing for this time. It's not about panicking... you'll probably get orders from up there soon"

Shimizu and Sakagi are at the Gifu base of the militia, watching news flowing from television.

To counter the mysterious air force that suddenly appeared in Mongolia, Mongolian, Chinese and Russian troops immediately marched out and asked the nations for reinforcements.

Because it was supposed to be the case, the operational headquarters would soon be set up in Europe and the deployment of Prometheus would be decided.

However, because of the distance to Mongolia, the Air Force decided that it would not have fuel unless it went through several countries, which was thought to take some time to reach the battlefield.

In response to this request for assistance, even in Japan...

[Osaka - Prime Minister's residence]

"Are you still here..."

"Yes, what General Gojo was saying beforehand has become a reality. I'm just ready."

Tada, the prime minister, and Okada (each), the new minister of defense, were in talks at the official residence.

"Chitose, Gifu, and Ashiya's aviation militia base are packed with special units that rendezvous with land, so if you have orders, you can always dispatch them"

There was nothing wrong with Tada deciding on his first post-war order, as all five articles had ended before he went to Antarctica, including coordination with the relevant cabinet members and the necessary legal developments.

"Before I give the order, I want to convey the word directly to the crew who will actually be seconded. Can you connect the relay?

"I'll be ready in a minute"

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

That day, the aviation militia base of Gifu was bummed. Because we were certain that we would be given a dispatch order.

Sakagi, in particular, was entrusted with the overall command of a special unit composed by three aviation militias: Thousand Years Old, Gifu and Ashiya.

"Don't be too uptight!

"Oh...... but I can't even slow down. We'll be out in no time. I'm still very anxious."

"Don't worry. I have a (...) a (...) tsu (...) prepared with Gojo for this time. It's gonna work."

Starting with Sakagi and Shimizu, all the troops scheduled for deployment were gathered in one of the bases' rooms. A large monitor is installed in the center of the room.

They were told that a relay from the official residence was coming in, and the crew were positively (just) posturing. The monitor shows the Prime Minister's face, Tada, and begins to speak to the crew.

"I would like to say a word to the militiamen gathered in front of this screen as Prime Ministers. We will now proceed to the battlefield as requested by the United Nations. '

It was clear to all militia members here that it would not have easily been achieved without prior rooting, even at the request of the United Nations.

"It is painful to send you to dangerous battlefields. But I believe that your work will contribute greatly to world peace and protect the lives of the Japanese people. '

The nervousness runs on the spot with Tada cutting words.

"I order the 10th Air Regiment Flight Group, the Special Flight Corps, to deploy under the collective right of self-defence!

"Salute!"

On the decree of Sakagi, the soldiers gathered on the spot salute each other simultaneously. That was the first order since the launch of the militia to tolerate the use of force abroad.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Me and Shimizu were on their way to the runway ready for fighters and transporters to fly right away.

"Sakaki, what's the status quo? I was talking to an executive at the Defense Department earlier, so you're getting intel."

"Oh, it seems the Mongolian army is already in a state of devastation. Looks like the Chinese and Russian armies are continuing their attacks in the form of pinches..."

"Are you struggling?

"The opponent is launching tens of thousands of fighters from a black mothership. It means they have the same science and technology over there as we do."

"Same thing, there would be quite a difference in power, wouldn't there?

"There are reports that any attack on the other mother ship or fighter will be held back by an invisible barrier"

"Then..."

"But when a few attacks hit, the barrier disappeared, and then even a normal attack seems to be possible to shoot down"

"So you can take down even a normal weapon. Unlike the monsters... Is that why they sent the monsters in instead of coming directly to us?

"Oh, that's possible. They're attacking large motherships with intercontinental ballistic missiles from the United States and the EU, but if they hit a few of these too, they can break through the barrier. But there are too many of them. China, Russian troops could also be devastated if support slows down"

"It matters how quickly the forces of the world can come together... but why Mongolia? I wonder if it makes any sense geographically."

I was also thinking about the question of fresh water...

"I don't know... is it strategic or I can't control the location of the emergence in detail... there's a lot of uncertainty"

"So is the purpose. There's a lot of them, but I don't think it's enough to turn the whole world against the enemy."

"There are also sightings from the Chinese army of several large motherships landing and doing something. It's gonna feel bad."

"Oh, if it's a communication jamming or a device that calls in a monster, this one will be overwhelmingly disadvantaged. We have to stop it."

What was right in front of us when we got to the runway was the fighter F35. It's not just a fighter. The children brought by Mr. Gojo have been improved with strange powers.

At first I thought it was a joke, but I showed a performance that went off track in the test flight.

"Shimizu, I'm boarding my own land unit and transporter to the ground. You'll be ahead of us, but be careful."

"Oh, I know"

"Show me the strength of your former ace pilot"

"You don't expect much. But, well... I'll just try."

That's what Shimizu says and boards the F35, awaiting orders to launch. Because we need to rendezvous on the path with the troops of the F35 coming from hundreds of miles and thousands of years old.

I got on the transporter, too, and waited for that.

Soon an order was given by the command, first a fighter unit of the fresh water men, followed by a transporter with us flying after them.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Geneva, Switzerland

A joint strategic headquarters between the United Nations and the European Parliament had been set up to provide information gathered from satellites and national armies to the Member States of the United Nations and the various media.

"China's air force wear and tear rate, over 50%. The Russian army's wear and tear rate also exceeds 40%. If you stay put, we'll lose vital combat power before reinforcements arrive."

"Can't we expect reinforcements from neighboring countries?

"Many countries seem to give priority to their own defence. I was wondering if there was a way to do that."

What I was packing in this Geneva was a gathering of United Nations staff, Members of the European Parliament and military personnel of the United Nations forces. They had a rough discussion, but only a common perception was that the situation was bad.

In the meantime...

"Rapidly approaching aircraft shadows, about 100 aircraft formations."

"I guess I'm on your side. What country?"

"This identification code... Japan, it's a militia aircraft!

"Japan?"

Many were surprised to hear of Japan. The same is true of the earlier thoughts from the time of making the request for support to the time of arrival, because Japan was known not to march abroad because it did not like the use of militia force.

"Whatever it is, it's dangerous to go into this battlefield in a formation of about 100 aircraft. You'd better back off and join the rest of the army."

"That's … heading straight to the center of the battlefield"

"What!?

"We're within range of the enemy mother ship!

Naturally everyone thought that militia planes would also be shot down because many of their friends had been dropped with their opponents' powerful firearms.

However, on the radar provided by the Chinese army, the aircraft shadows of enemy aircraft in front of the militia are lost one after the other.

Those on the spot did not know what was going on.

"Footage, coming."

The footage sent by the Chinese army is shown on a large screen monitor placed at command headquarters. Everyone doubts the sight.

What the militia was on was a normal F35 looking. But it prevents attacks from enemies with light barriers, and attacks are carried out with laser-like objects, not bullets.

The attack breaks through enemy barriers and shoots down enemy fighters with one blow. Even the barrier deployed by the black mother ship penetrated and exploded, as did the armor of the battleship.

The mother ship falls to the ground as she raises the black smoke.

"Oh, my God... it's totally different from Prometheus.” How did Japan make such a thing!?

The people in front of the monitor had no choice but to keep an eye on the sight of diminishing enemy power.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Destroy each aircraft, individually, and destroy each!

"" Roger!

The ten F35s that were arriving at me scattered, steadily shooting down enemy fighters.

"And that's awesome power..."

This fuselage, the F35 modification "Amaterasu", uses a solar stone as a power source. It's a hell of a thing to fly for 72 hours in a row.

Not only is it maneuverable, but if you fill it with energy, it empties wind holes in the enemy's fuselage like a laser.

It is an impossible substitute for modern science and technology.

Once the boy named Noah and the young twins saw the fighter blueprints, they easily built the parts they needed.

"Ten o'clock direction, enemy planes twenty!

"Intercept with mid-range air-to-air missiles -"

Including my fighters, the airplanes that were scattered around me set their sights on the enemy.

"Fire!"

Missiles unleashed simultaneously head toward the enemy aircraft as they follow.

Built in Orihalcon, warheads easily break through enemy ”magic barriers" and land bullets. It exploded in the air and burst into flames and fell away.

"Ok!"

We now know that our air power works for our enemies. And then...

As per prior information, four large motherships have landed on the ground. It seems to build something in the center of it, with an arrangement that protects all sides.

We have to do something about that.

"Third Flight! Come to me, attack the ground facility!!

"" Roger!

Thirteen airplanes, including mine, enter the range of four motherships. From enemy battleships, they intercept with rainy simultaneous fire.

Laser-like attacks seem to dominate over there as well.

But the powerful magic barrier of "Heavenly Lighting" prevents all attacks. Through the defensive line of the battleship, looking at the central flatlands, a black building caught my eye.

I don't know what you're building, but it's up to you.

"All planes, charge!

It is by the cockpit meter that the solar stone's energy is stored that we can grasp. I hear this guy has the same effect as the "magic” Mr. Gojo uses.

The enemy's "Magic Barrier” is also lightly breached. I asked for it.

"Shoot me!!

The lasers released from the thirteen aircraft head straight for the building. But...

"What!?

The laser was bounced and exploded in front of the building. Battleships and other more powerful "magic barriers” appear to be being erected.

"No..."

It's hard to destroy with an attack from the sky.

"I have no choice. I'll leave the ground to the Sakagis, and we'll focus on air warfare. Get here!

"" Ha. "

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

[United Nations Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland]

"Indian, Pakistani and Korean troops joined the air war.” Prometheus "will arrive shortly. The war is beginning to rage."

"Is the problem on the ground..."

"All units approaching the mysterious building have been destroyed."

"Is the earth stronger to protect than the sky...... what is there over there?

"Some things are like monsters, reports are up."

It was obvious to everyone that the buildings on the ground were dangerous, but they could only hold hands. At that time...

"Telephone calls from Chinese troops, also from European troops -"

"What!?

"Soon we will be in combat territory, with our respective transporters. On board are Peacock and Sanctuary Knights!
