I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!

“I'm sorry.”

An injured soldier comes to me and hangs his head on his knees.

He was treated, but the scar is still vivid.

The soldier in the Colonel's position will tell me what happened.

"We've been attacked by a pirate fleet." I fought back, but my enemies were devastated. "

There are several secret resupply bases on Banff's territory that can be used during defensive operations.

That guard fleet was attacked by a pirate fleet.

Their stockpiles have been stolen and their defensive fleets destroyed.

I get up and get close to the Colonel.

"You've been properly trained, and your weaponry is at an average level." That's for sure, isn't it? "

Yes, yes.

The colonel affirmed his regret.

Depending on what you're asking, I trained you and I gave you the proper equipment, but you lost? Because it is the same as being asked.

I'll call the Colonel.

"So if you lose, you can't help it." You need to get some rest. "

"What? But..."

"The enemy was stronger." This is the truth. I will escort you out of my fleet. Return to this planet with the wounded under Klaus' command. Well, I guess I'll send him to the hospital anyway. "

I don't think Klaus would force a defeated fleet to the front line.

When I sent it, I could see that it was sent backwards.

At the end of the story, the soldiers take out the injured colonel.

Yulisia, who was watching the situation, turned her anxious gaze to me.

Troublesome. Only the former pirates can easily spot the existence of a secret base.

"I've been running and hiding, so it's easy to find." It's a hassle to leave them alone. "

To figure out what to do now, I project a simplified stereoscopic image of the battlefield in front of me.

When I thought about what to do before I saw the footage, I felt like I saw something in the corner of my sight.

It's like an animal, like a dog.

I'm sure you saw it wrong.

"--Noise?"

My gaze was on the way out of my territory.

This route appears to have been invaded by the Imperial Army.

Ulysses noticed this and manipulated the device.

"That's the route that the Imperial Army is supposed to have invaded." It appears that the Empire is sending us supplies now. The planet that served as a resupply base must be very happy with the booming economy that has fallen by now. ”

If it becomes a resupply base used by the Imperial fleet, we can continue to develop it even if we don't want to receive subsidies.

The planet appears to have been sent as a substitute by the Empire, but the lonely planet is now in the process of becoming an urban development.

"Enemy supply base."

Ulysses shook his head when he heard me mutter.

"I can't aim." I can't use long-range warp in the first place. Repeated short-range warp arrivals have fuel problems. ”

Aim for a resupply base, but we only have fuel for one way.

It is impossible to escape, and if you fail, you will be annihilated.

“Besides, if you try to send a large fleet, you will be noticed.”

What's the size of the enemy unnoticed?

It must be up to the limit of 30,000.

Thirty thousand is quite a size from my point of view.

There's more than enough of them.

"There aren't many of them in a war of this magnitude."

Sure enough, there are eight million ships on the battlefield on both sides.

I don't know if it's 30,000, but I'm not convinced.

"Thirty thousand ships in my fleet."

When I muttered, Ulysses hurriedly convinced me to stop.

"It's reckless to hit a resupply base at that scale." The Imperial Army is not stupid, and we have an army. ”

Even if we could send a fleet of hundreds of thousands of ships to smash through, this time the realm would be thin.

The dispersal of our forces will endanger our homeworld.

But 30,000 won't be a problem, right?

"I've decided. Let's hit the resupply base first." I'll turn them into bags of rats. "

"Were you listening to me? If you move a large fleet, you'll see your enemies.”

"It's possible now." Besides, only my fleet can move. "

"-He?"

Eurysia was surprised by the stupid look on her face, but ignored it and gave orders to the soldiers who were nearby.

"Tell Klaus." I'll be out of territory for a while, but I'll take care of the rest. "

Yes, yes!

◇

Cleo, the general, couldn't hide his excitement on the fortress bridge.

Standing up from the decorated sheet, he welcomed the reinforcement commanders projected on the screen with his hands spread out.

“Thank you for coming. Let's welcome your arrival."

Thank you very much. It was worth our while. "

The faces of the commanders projected in the air are mixed with those of the nobility and patrol fleet commanders.

Aristocrats and servicemen were gathered under Cleo, leaving their territories and strongholds.

What a number of two million ships.

This swelled Cleo's fleet to four million.

We are now led by three million Hampson fleets attacking the Tier 1 fleet, and we are glad to have more than that.

So, what is the Crown Prince's goal?

"--My fleet will be waiting at this location designated as home."

Cleo answers the question asked by one of the nobles with a frustrated face.

When the nobleman saw it, he narrowed his eyes slightly and advised Cleo.

Oh, my God! Marquis Hampson is underestimated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

What?

"It would be wrong for the Crown Prince, who leads a large army of four million people, to be in the base without doing anything. At this scale, you can also go to Liam's hometown.”

Cleo knew what the nobility was trying to say.

(Does this guy want to trick me into aiming at Liam's bookstars?)

The aristocrats who came to Banfield's territory were trying to plunder their own stomachs.

Cleo can see that, but at the same time something inside him speaks.

It's like... somebody inspired me.

"That's right, Cleo! I'm with you now." Plus, with a fleet this size, it's easy to beat Liam's stars! ”

― ― The guide standing diagonally behind Cleo was convincing him to get into Cleo with all his might.

No one can see the conductor, not even Cleo's voice.

However, the voice of the Conductor echoed in Cleo's heart.

(Whether Hampson is present or not, I can beat Liam by myself. With a fleet this size, we can do enough pushing)

Listening to Cleo's heart, the Conductor raises both corners of his mouth and starts laughing in a good mood.

"I knew you were the best, Cleo." When you become Emperor, I will support you with all my might. The Empire is going to be an interesting country. "

The Conductor who imagines Cleo's ruling empire speaks what he thinks.

"Cleo--you 're a villain with more trinkets than Liam." You're the real scoundrel. "

It was a joyful guide, but there was a small light a few tens of meters behind it.

If you close your eyes, the light that looks like a dog looks like it's gazing at the guide.

Then the Conductor looked back.

"What are you looking at there?"

Laughing, he emitted a black aura and saw the small light that was staring at him.

The little light quickly disappears, but the Conductor smiles.

"Is it a spirit body? What a dwarf." I don't know how much you can do to me now, but you'll be rewarded for following me around. "

As the Conductor reaches for his right hand, a small light that was supposed to have escaped is captured by black smoke.

The little light that was attracted was still shining in the hands created by the black smoke.

When the guide touches his face, he swallows the light with his mouth wide open.

Abominable creature!

Her jagged teeth and wide open mouth were unimaginable from her face.

The little light that I saw wobbled, but somehow the resistance weakened.

"Did you give up? That's a pleasure!!"

The little light was swallowed, chewed and swallowed.

The guide licks her lips with her long tongue to make them clean.

"--It's a spirit related to Liam's previous life." Even so, it's really annoying to think that animal spirits like this have been doing well so far. "

Stretch your spine and straighten your stance.

The Conductor smiled and was convinced that there was no longer a presence to help Liam.

"But now, the existence that helped Liam from behind has disappeared." Liam, this is the real hell. "

Liam thinks he's so lucky, and the guide laughs.

And Cleo, who had been thinking about it until now, told me.

― ― The team is now marching toward the Banfield family's star. I'll stab Liam! "

The bridge crew and the aristocrats who heard it cheered.

The guide, who nodded happily and repeatedly, spilled a drop of tears.

"Excellent decision. You have nothing to fear from Liam now." You can just leave it to me. That's all, Cleo - your victory. "

Cleo, protected by a strong Conductor, starts marching on the Banff home planet.

◇

The main unit of the Expeditionary Force moves.

Nothing surprised me when I heard the news, except the Banfields.

The most surprised was Cleo's assistant, Hampson.

"What the hell!?"

I got up from the seat and was stuck with the knight who brought me the report.

Stuck knights report the details to Shinobi.

“So, we started marching on the Banfield home planet with the addition of a private fleet of aristocrats and a patrol fleet of armies that we joined as a loyalist.”

Upon hearing the report of such a knight, Hampson points out that important information is missing.

The size of the Italian army!

"Hah! Two million." I wonder if this is also due to the prestige of Lord Cleo. "

Hampson turned his back on his face and thought about something else before he even asked Cleo to give up his knight.

(2 million!? How can a fleet of that size be gathered!? I don't think a supply line is secured by an army of that size in the first place)

They call themselves the Righteous Army, but if you say so, it's a fleet to gather.

Aristocrats on board for the Banfields' wealth, patrol fleets led by their associates, and army outsiders.

Hampson wasn't expecting to be a force for the thieves who were trying to plunder him.

(Banfield hated you and put it together? But we don't have a plan to keep that many supplies.)

The biggest problem was the resupply.

We have a resupply base on the rear planet, where we are gathering supplies from across the Empire.

Still, it was not enough to sustain the new fleet of 2 million.

Hampson gets angry at unplanned reinforcements.

Is the Crown Prince in such a hurry? Klaus is not too sweet to protect the star to win with the 2 million boats he collects.)

Hampson yells at the knight who brought the report.

"Put the Crown Prince down immediately!" Get rid of the idiots who call themselves Yoshihiro! "

“But what about you?

However, the Knight of Unsolicited Messages was unhappy with Hampson's orders.

So Hampson goes out of his way to teach you the problem.

"A collection of two million ships that we can't resupply ourselves will be useful on the battlefield!" Our supplies will soon be exhausted. In Banfield's realm, the main force just stopped moving. Let the Crown Prince leave immediately. "

Yes, yes!

The Knight finally cooled off from his excitement at Hampson's explanation and hurried back to the main unit.

Seeing him, Hampson questioned the quality of the knights around Cleo.

At the same time, I hold my head.

(Until halfway through, things were going according to our schedule, but why did you come here and collapse? Was Lord Cleo fascinated by the bad guys?)

Even though I should have been crushed like this, I felt that Cleo's decision would cause my army to lean heavily.

Hampson gives orders to his surroundings.

"I can't stay long anymore. Our forces will soon defeat the enemies in front of them and rendezvous with the main force."

Hurry to take down the planet defended by Tier and rally to the main unit.
