I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!

"The pirate fleet is moving backwards and attacking us - no, we're attacking each other!?"

The unbelievable news echoed over the bridge.

Upon hearing that, Yulisia quickly turned her attention to the Commander-in-Chief with a bitter look on her face.

The Commander-in-Chief, Liam, hasn't changed his complexion when he learns that the Pirate Fleet is attacking each of his allies.

"Master Liam, it's dangerous as it is."

The situation remained precarious, but even more so.

Liam puts his right hand forward.

"Reassemble after dispersing"

When Liam's orders were given, the fleet, which maintained a conical assault formation, began to think twice.

The formation collapsed into a situation where the enemy allies were disrupted.

Ulysses was bursting with cold sweat from his fears.

(It's almost like collapsed!?)

The pirate fleet's attack only seems to have destroyed the Banff fleet.

But Liam didn't have the slightest sense of crisis.

Rather, I even see confidence.

"--I 'm sorry, but what I'm taking with me is an elite among the elite who have been fighting since the early days." Don't think it's going to collapse like this. "

As your fleet spreads out, you quickly sew between enemy fleets and get out of the battlefield.

The enemy fleet being attacked by the pirate fleet is in disarray and we cannot afford to stand by.

There were ships attacking from time to time, but they were uncluttered and not a threat.

Rather, the threat is the pirate fleet.

Shortly after passing a few dozen meters beside the enemy ship, a pirate fleet bombarded the area beside Argos.

Enemy ships pierced by beams of light explode and Argos' shields glow pale.

We were protecting Argos from the debris that occurred.

In such a situation, Liam gives instructions.

"Ships that are confident in their defenses must defend their allies." Then the pirate artillery will shield the enemy. "

It's easy to say, but if you can do it, you won't have a hard time.

But Liam's fleet will do it.

Ulysses couldn't believe Liam, but he thought it impossible for a fleet to give Liam orders.

(What, these guys!? How can you execute such an order!?)

Liam was sitting in front of Yulisia in a daze, talking to the military.

"Excellent group action." If you show it at the ceremony, you'll get the money. "

Liam replied lightly, with a serious look on the military's face - a joke.

"If it's normal time, I'll participate as much as I want." If we can earn it ourselves, we won't have to be called golden cannibals. ”

"I'm sorry, but I've been busy for a while. The ceremony is ahead of time."

Seeing Liam having this conversation on the battlefield, Ulysses was dizzy.

◇

A pirate fleet flagship.

On the bridge, Cosmo laughed at the collapsed Banff fleet.

She claps her knees and looks happy.

"You don't expect me to come and kill each of my allies. Nevertheless, watching that Banff fleet collapse will be a lifelong story of pride.”

House Banfield's fleet has been destroyed.

If you try Cosmo, it's a big deal.

When you have more status, honor, and wealth than ever before, you begin to calculate in your heart.

The bridge crew was floating as well, but they were trained so they didn't make much noise like they did in the pirate era.

Cosmo was convinced of his victory, but he turned a blind eye to a slight sense of discomfort.

"--What do you mean?"

Towards the end of the battle, a slightly nervous secretary realized that Cosmo was acting strange.

What's the matter, my lord?

"Something's wrong. They can't be--"

Cosmo's unpleasant premonition is overwhelming.

The Banfields' fleet, which they thought had collapsed, began regrouping as they made their way out of the battlefields where their enemies were swarming.

I was surprised that the secretary had noticed.

My Lord!?

"All fleets, charge now!" I'll beat them up before we gather and form up! "

Cosmo was right to start acting immediately.

House Banfield's fleet has not been able to assemble in time and is not even ready for formation.

Now, now's my chance!

I had a bad feeling about Cosmo, and I wanted to beat Liam at this timing anyway.

◇

"You're faster than I thought."

"If you are praising your enemies!? What are you going to do?" No matter how elite you are, you can't win if you're attacked in this situation! "

The pirate fleet moved unexpectedly fast, and I was forced to make a decision.

If we keep bumping into the enemy fleet, we'll be out of luck.

When I take my seat, I give orders to Ulysses.

"I'm giving you Avid. I'll buy you some time, so hurry up and gather."

Huh? Uhm...

I really wanted to finish the battle with the fleet, but not like Klaus.

I also wanted to earn some credit as Starfleet Commander, but it doesn't seem to be right for me.

- Well, it doesn't matter.

I'm not a knight or a soldier, I'm just an evil lord.

"I'll finish you off with a push."

◇

As Cosmo's fleet attempted to attack the Banfield family fleet, only one Mobile Knight flew out.

I would have even handled the usual Cosmo look in front of the heroes who came out to protect the fleet.

However, we have a problem with the coming plane.

The operator made a report, but his mouth was shaking.

"Avid! This is Avid! I have confirmed the spatial magic." The magic circle confirmed the appearance of a giant Battleship. It looks like a very large Mobile Knight built in the Seventh Weapon Factory! "

An irritated Cosmo waved his fist down on his armrest.

The general is coming out!

It's not just justice.

If this wasn't Liam, Cosmo would have been happy to take it down.

The enemy was stupid and helpful.

However, Liam was the opponent.

The frightened secretary took a step back as he saw Avid's giant battleship transform into a humanoid.

"Is that a plane called the Griffin?" I'm not a Mobile Knight anymore. "

Cosmo agrees.

I'd like to complain to the idiots at the Seventh Arms Factory who created Griffin.

But when Avid joins Griffin, Griffin's twin eyes shine.

"Incoming! Deploy shields!" Stretch thickly across the entire surface. Then get all the shield ships forward! ”

As Griffin puts his big hand on the pirate fleet, each fingertip starts to glow - immediately afterwards, ten lights strike Cosmo's fleet.

Dozens of ships were pierced by a single beam.

I was lucky enough to get rid of Cosmo's flagship, but it wasn't an attack I wanted to take on too many times.

Other weapons mounted on the Griffin attack the fleet.

Not only optical weapons, but also live ammunition weapons are attacking one after another.

The idea of using a single plane against a fleet would be a mistake in the first place!

When Cosmo yelled, a nearby friendly ship exploded.

I am complaining because it is very effective at the moment.

The situation in which it is directed at us is irritating.

"- I'll use it."

I was told it was the same, and the secretary immediately contacted me as soon as she noticed it.

◇

Avid - Inside the Griffin.

I let go of the joystick in the cockpit and put my hands behind my head as I watched the battlefield from the monitor.

"It's boring when it ends with a push, but it's refreshing."

Thanks to the influence of Machine Heart, Griffin is now even more powerful.

It also performed superiorly compared to its predecessor.

I'm switching to autopilot and watching, but that's the end of the fight.

"The fleet of attacked Imperial forces..."

The fleet of allied Imperial forces gathered as they fled the battlefield.

In a way, it's like being held hostage by a pirate fleet and we're running out of numbers.

It looked like you were running out of supplies and the battle was tough.

Leave us alone and we will surrender.

The pirate fleet used spatial magic when I was distracting myself.

Something huge is coming out.

"--Thinking is the same thing."

A giant mobile knight emerged from a gigantic magic circle.

It was the same size as the griffin, and the gray and rusted areas that were not painted were prominent.

Since it was constructed roughly, it seems that there is no deformation mechanism.

It first appeared in the form of a human being, but the figure was similar to that of a griffin.

"Same as Griffin?"

Murmuring, the face of the man who is the commander of the pirate fleet is shown on the monitor.

The man in the window was a man named Cosmo, wearing a pirate hat.

How do you feel, General?

"Don't talk cheaply."

Cosmo casually gives up, but Cosmo keeps talking, saying, "Let's have more fun talking."

Your Griffin built the Seventh Weapon Factory, but the Empire actually built the same weapon.

"I thought so. But at least change your appearance."

That's what you tell the factories you built. But the appearance was the same, but the contents were different. After all, we have eliminated the futile mechanism of deformation and made it more robust. "

Do you want to boast that you've made it stronger without waste?

"I have the same trump card as yours, no... even more trump cards." That's not a plane either. Of course Hampson and Moss, but you also have the Crown Prince with you. ”

That's a pain in the ass.

Is it possible to think together?

If you have such a trump card, you can use it from the beginning - I can't tell you that.

At any rate, Griffin's overwhelming strength on the battlefield is a bullshit operation cost.

If we're going to have one, we'd better get a fleet ready.

Once you move it, you'll need servicing, but I don't think the enemy can afford to do that anyway.

In a situation where supplies are scarce, if you're not good enough, you have to throw them away.

If you don't use it, it won't be more than that.

You're a loser, Liam.

"Watch out, Mishita."

Fakes are pointing at Griffin's chest.

When the light was focused on it, it was released and the main gun was fired.

A very thick beam hits Griffin.

Cosmo seems convinced of his victory.

"If you had a little more attitude, I would have killed you with ease." The rest of your men are going to see hell. "

It looks like you're going to mess with your men after you defeat me.

Griffin, swallowed by light, crosses his arms and fortifies his defenses.

"You don't have to worry about it first." More than that, you just have to worry about yourself. "

When I decide how to handle Cosmo, I grip the joystick and move Griffin.

As Griffin's engine groans, he moves into the light.

Moving against the flow, the counterfeit increased its output even further.

Discharge is occurring from the inside because it is impossible even though the burden is large.

"I'm sorry I bothered to get you a fake -- don't think it's the same plane as before." We're constantly evolving. "

The effects of Machine Heart extend to Griffin through Avid.

As Griffin approached the fake, he reached out and pierced his chest.

Just keep inserting your other hand and tearing it from the inside.

Oh no!?

I'll teach Cosmo to surprise you.

"Did you use rare metal for the fake?" --Thank you for taking the trouble to bring me resources. I'll take good care of it.

When Griffin forcibly tears up a fake, debris bursts nearby.

Collect it using the alchemy chest hidden inside Avid.

Garbage scattered around is converted into particles of light and gathered in the griffin.

What did you do!?

I can't answer Cosmo who doesn't understand what's going on - I'll point Griffin's main gun at the pirate fleet.

Cosmo's complexion turned pale when she saw the light converge on her chest.

“I'm not going to tell you. And then -- well, you ransacked my territory, didn't you?"

One of the reasons we attacked the resupply base was to beat them up.

Cosmo doesn't beg for his life just by stealing from me as his allied ships are being destroyed one after another.

"This is the end for all of you." Is there anything else I can say? ”

Asked, Cosmo gives an unstoppable smile.

I was rampaging around. I was expecting this to happen in the future. "

Quick to give up.

"However, even if I win here, it's the same." No matter how many victories you make, the Empire will win in the end! National power is different in the first place. I'm looking forward to seeing you go to hell with me. ”

If there really is hell, I will definitely fall.

But what's wrong with that?

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to enjoy the world for a while. You'll be waiting until I arrive."

Are you going to defeat the Empire? Reinforcements immediately-- "

I know you want to say that reinforcements and the next expeditionary force will be dispatched - no.

I don't have it.

Reinforcements aren't coming.

How's it going?

Cosmo is surprised, Griffin approaches the scattered pirate fleet and finds the flagship.

Cosmo grabs my flagship with a giant hand.

"You're a privilege."

--To help your hard-working subordinates, let's prepare one gift for them.

Well, it's about time they cut the trump card, huh?
