I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!
Banfield Battle Defense Part 9
In front of a fleet of 120,000 hostiles, the Banfield family's fleet was changing formations in a calm manner.
An elite fleet that responds quickly to hostile fleet formations would be the case.
Looking at it from the bridge of Argos, I listen to the soldiers.
"The enemy fleet is forming a spherical formation after dispersal."
Is it possible that the fleets that are able to cooperate with each other have come together?
"You're going to besiege us and slap us."
There was a one-to-four power difference.
A pirate fleet that faces us in quadruples makes a hard-fought impression.
It seems true that he was trained in the army.
Four-fold difference---that's enough.
Murmuring honest feelings, Yulisia, the lieutenant standing next to me, turns her attention to me.
That attitude, which included shock, seemed to give up somewhere.
Liam is the one who destroyed the army with the oligarchs, so I think we can afford to have such a large number.
"Don't say it in a thorny way. I'm your employer."
"If you can survive, you'll be in a good mood." Right in front of you is the Imperial Army's elite. ”
We have gathered ex-space pirates to train and educate us like officers.
The weapons that have been given are only state-of-the-art.
Regular forces led by the pirate fleet use appraisers and mobile knights who are the mainstay of the Imperial Army's active service.
I don't care about the pirates, they've got both numbers and quality.
From Eurysia, don't go pirate hunting like you've done before! I guess you want to say that.
"I don't care. I'm the one who wins."
"Where does that confidence come from?"
When I looked at the monitor, I could see the status of the abbreviated battlefield. It shows allies, enemies, and other information.
Looking at it reminds me of the past.
"--You 've fulfilled your promise to Brian."
Yes?
I told Yurysia a strange old story about why the name of the butler came out.
"Do you know the story of disarmament when I took over the territory?"
Eurysia shook her head as she shook her head, thinking she knew for sure.
No, I don't know.
"--The lowest occupancy rate was in our private army, which was full of prosperity." If I tried to secure a budget for disarmament, Brian would underestimate it, and I was opposed to it. ”
After explaining it to her, Ulysses gave a convincing expression.
I can understand your thoughts, too.
"At that time, I promised Brian. I will disarm, but eventually I will have a fleet worthy of me. I thought the 30,000 ships I'm leading were just fulfilling my promise to Brian."
Filled with emotion, Yulisia, with her narrow eyes, looked at me.
What?
In this situation, we can't afford to talk about the past.
There's plenty of room.
Even though she had answered, Ulysses put her hand on her waist and sighed tinyly.
Well, if it isn't for my lieutenant, it's a scene of execution for disrespect.
◇
Cosmo, facing the Banfields' fleet, looked at the monitor uneasily with his arms crossed.
I was abandoned while watching the simplified battlefield.
The beauties that had been serving the surroundings had been lowered, and only the beauty's first officer was present.
We're going after Banfield's bastard and we're going to take back the supply base.
The First Officer asks puzzledly when he spills his stupidity into a situation where he has no choice but to fight Liam.
This is four times the number of enemies?
"If he's a little inferior, we'll get rid of him." I'm sure I've shown you the materials, too? "
I was a former space pirate, but Cosmo wasn't incompetent.
If they were incompetent, they would have fallen through the severe training and education of the Imperial Army.
Besides, he was a man who had been promoted to the rank of general.
Even Hampson's plan to never fight was agreed to, because Liam's intel had been hammered into his head in advance.
Rather, he was going to run away if asked to.
When ordered to fight, I was going to fight lightly and pretend to be defeated.
Because even if my reputation drops, I think it's better to die than to die.
The lieutenant looks at his simplified size and the size of his opponent's army, and he is not satisfied.
“We are winning both in quality and in numbers.”
"If that's enough to win, neither Goaz nor Barkley will lose."
"--It's the names of the most nostalgic pirates."
"Both are pirates who have been active since I was a young man." The Goaz bastard was a pirate and led a fleet of tens of thousands. When I was younger, I was passionate about becoming a pirate more than Goaz. "
It was complicated for Cosmo that Liam defeated his objective.
The First Officer looked troubled.
“The Goazs are the barons of the Empire anyway, the Barkleys.”
Cosmo starts talking about the Barkley family, which was crushed by Liam.
"Whether they're nobles or not, they're space pirates." The Barkley family, led by hundreds of thousands of such ships, has also been defeated by Liam. I swore to be a big pirate when I was young enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. "
I'm tired of the old stories, but the lieutenant sighs in small breaths.
"Your Lordship is a fine man." I haven't lost to Goaz or Barkley. ”
"- Well, that's all the old stories." We must recapture the resupply base for the Crown Prince who has done the incompetent work. "
There is also the option of escape?
"Oh, oh, oh, oh! Try to escape here. The Expeditionary Force will suffer, and we will be held accountable and executed. ― ― ― I have no choice but to move on.
Cosmo decides to get ready, putting on his pirate hat and putting his right hand in front of him.
"Surround the Banff fleet with the entire fleet!" Don't be alarmed by the small number of enemies. We're going to get eaten! "
At the behest of Cosmo, the Expeditionary Force moves out.
◇
I stand up from the seat and give orders, looking at the hostile fleet that has started to surround the Banff fleet.
"It seems interesting, so I'll take command." It's a charge toward the most fragile spot. "
We don't want to be surrounded, so we need to target a fleet of Space Pirate pirates who are clearly fragile.
The Commander is taking my orders and giving me detailed orders.
"Hah. All armies, target the space pirates."
At the commander's behest, the staff will give detailed instructions to the entire army.
Normally, noblemen like me would sit down.
It would be better for an aristocrat to keep his mouth shut and laugh at the work of the soldiers.
Aristocrats who talk like me are hated by soldiers.
But what's wrong with that?
It's an army I've prepared.
I'm the employer.
"Kill the pirates from the universe."
House Banfield's fleet charges at the weakest parts of the enemy fleet.
With both sides facing each other and going straight ahead, the front shines unmistakably when a long-range optical weapon is fired.
The energy field protecting the ship was blocked by an optical weapon that was emitting light.
Bridge's staff were giving instructions one after the other.
"Push the shield ships forward!"
"We will soon move to medium-range close-range combat." Hurry up and get ready. "
The Mobile Knights are ready to go!
The pirate ship directly in front of us was on a frontal collision course with Argos.
Ulysses, who understood it, turned away and screamed a little.
"Heehee"
"--breaks and tears"
The Argos, who can't evade, surprised the enemy, cut the rudder and turn their neck to the right.
"Hey, hey, don't show me your stomach."
The Argos hull has been pierced into their hull and ripped apart.
An explosion occurs, but the energy field blocks the explosion and Argos does not shake.
Argos, a chunk of rare metal, can't even do damage this much.
Then a cannon in Argos targets the enemy.
Launch the optical weapon as it is.
Lasers were also emitted from the large lenses that slid through the armor plates, piercing the pirate ships near Argos.
The pirate ship's energy field is easily penetrated, and the area hit by the laser glows red and dissolves.
Due to the collisional attack, the point where the laser hit was drawn like a line and exploded away from Argos.
"Too fragile, too fragile. You're lucky to be in front of my fleet on such a pirate ship?"
Except for Argos.
We were the only ones who were able to maintain our formation when the pirate ships were being destroyed and the fleets bumped into each other.
The pirate fleet was disperse, unable to maintain its formation.
Banfield's fleet of assault formations are breaking out of the siege to target the next prey.
Next thing you know... we're going to go after the regular army.
◇
Cosmo, who saw the Banfields fight, was hanging from the seat.
"Are they crazy? Are you going to charge all of a sudden, even if it's your opponent? I don't want to fly any more than I've seen it in rumors and data."
Cosmo laughed with his right hand on his face when his fleet of allies were destroyed.
House Banff's fleet has maintained its momentum and is on its way to the regular army fleet sent by Hampson.
Regular fleets are attempting to create a defensive-focused formation to intercept the incoming Banff fleet.
However, I was confused by the sudden change in formation.
The lieutenant who was watching the situation was slightly irritated.
"Useless and unhelpful."
The pirates, easily torn apart by the Banfields, are calling for help from Cosmo's fleet.
While ignoring it, Cosmo instructed his men to change their formation.
"The fleet that Hampson gave us is no good." I'm going to change formations and hit the Banffs in the middle of now. "
Cosmo's orders are followed by new ones from the staff.
The First Officer seemed impressed that he had previewed Cosmo's thoughts.
Siege with a regular fleet. Punching behind enemies while they're holding back is effective. ”
They must have come up with a plan to poke behind the Banfields while our allies were holding out.
However, Cosmo denies the First Officer's plan.
"No, I'll bury my allies."
“How's it going?
Surprised and dumbfounded, Cosmo remembered the unprecedented peril of the Banff fleet.
"I've been dying many times." But this time I don't like goosebumps. I'm telling you they're really dangerous. If we're not prepared to sharpen ourselves, we're in danger, too. "
I don't know anything about a regular fleet, but my lieutenant is a former space pirate.
I shook my head with a smile, believing in Cosmo's insight.
"They don't have the luck to be dispatched."
Cosmo laughed, convinced by the Lieutenant's appearance, that Rock was my Lieutenant.
"Bad luck on the battlefield."
The operator notifies you that your allies and enemies are within combat range.
"We are now at combatable range with our fleet of allies and hostiles!" --The enemy fleet won't stop!? "
However, the formation changes were not made in time and were easily pierced by a fleet of Banfields laying out conical formations.
Cosmo puts his right hand forward.
“Now's your chance! Kill Banfield for every ally!!"
