I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary

You can't do that.

You can't do that?

"Aren't you and I equipped to prevent it? Of course they do."

I see.

The helmet that Lieutenant-Colonel Serena is equipped with, as well as the universal mask that I am equipped with, have the ability to defend against such biological and chemical weapons. I'm not the type that covers my entire head, I'm just the type that covers my face, so I can't completely shut out a chemical weapon that penetrates through my skin.

Should I buy a full set of combat armor similar to Major Serena's for the future? But lightweight power armor isn't enough... well, if you're a manufacturer of lightweight power armor, you'll also be dealing with combat armor, so think about it then.

"How's it going?

"Some forces are already entering the interior to secure the bridgehead. External force sweeps will be over soon."

That said, Lieutenant-Colonel Serena is slightly running her fingertips into the void. I don't see it, but I think they're manipulating the interface on the helmet's HUD to fly commands to combat bots and soldiers under their command. I am impressed that Lieutenant-Colonel Serena is still noble around doing such work without suffering while having a conversation with me.

"Well, if we're going to do that, we'll have orbital bombardment that wipes us out as soon as this place is known."

"That was also true. You should have caught him alive. I can't help it."

"It's in my mouth. Well, it would be nice if we could make sure he died and prove that he was Gerritz himself."

"There's no need to raise another leader."

"What kind of barbarian is a leader?"

Lieutenant-Colonel Serena expresses himself to be a leader. No, it's not convincing to say that people who swing their swords happily are barbaric to rise to the top. I mean, you just got Grappler's neck, right?

"Well, when I put my neck down, What the hell did Gerritz come here for?

"You'll buy me some time. I think I'm going to cage in this structure and wait for a rescue from the Earl of Ikthermal."

"Hmm, I don't know...."

I don't think you'll fall in love with me. I don't think there's a way out deep inside that structure, and I think it's a bad place to cage. There is no escape if we are hunted down like this. Often, that's what cage castles are called.

Well, when I say that, this Cormatt IV itself is like a trail that can't get out once it has escaped. Now that the Imperial Space Force and the Earl of Darainwald are in orbit, they will catch us as soon as we try to escape the atmosphere.

"It's a drill machine that drills and moves underground at high speeds.

"I've never heard of such a machine, have you?

"I've never heard of it."

I feel like I can do it with the technical power of this world, but I don't even know if it's real.

"I think it's ridiculous to assume something you don't even know if it's in a boulder."

I see. Well, what about the other possibilities... the possibility that the evidence is being destroyed?

"Evidence destroyed?

"You know he should avoid being caught alive or having his body recovered and proven to be Gerrits-Ixamal. So you're deliberately trying to take the results of being eaten by twisted people, having difficulty recovering their bodies, and going missing in the first place."

"... well, that's the most unpleasant pattern. Looking around the structure to find the" leftovers ", scratching their bellies and stripping them of their contents. But I think we're going to be able to do that, and I think we're going into the stars with suppression."

"... that's for sure."

Evidence is perfectly destroyed when every ship enters the stars. If you're going to throw your life away and try to destroy evidence, you're more certain. If so, is the line of evidence hidden?

"As far as the other Twisted people are concerned, I'm sure they're in a hurry. I think something unexpected is happening."

"Really?

"Yes, perhaps you didn't expect me to track you down to Cormatt IV. The intention to shake off at the speed of the suppression was overwhelmed by you, exposing the incubator, and the location of the base structure was broken during subsequent descent reconnaissance operations. And the drop troops that were supposed to be in Cormatt III overwhelmed our military advantage."

"Hmm, it's completely packed. But you still won't stop resisting or surrender....."

I don't know who Gerritz is. But it's like breaking through an Imperial Space Force siege net and trying to escape to Cormatt IV. I can imagine that I am a pretty bad person in my life.

"After all, is it reasonable to think of it as a cage castle waiting for rescue....."

"At least that's what I think. Nevertheless, the Cormat system is under the control of the Earl of Darrenwald, and Cormat IV is the planet on which the Earl of Darrenwald is terraforming. Besides, I don't think it's possible for the Earl of Ikthermal to intervene, as long as our Imperial Space Force is working on Gerritz's capture."

I knew it was jammed.

"This is just a bad thing to do. This is not the case even if it is tailored to the evil. It's not free to move the army."

"Well, that's true... I see?

Maybe it's just harassment, this. The destruction of oneself will certainly be accompanied by as many people as possible, to the detriment of Count Darainwald's family as much as possible. The Earl of Darainwald will probably bear a small part of the cost of the operation in connection with the mobilization of the Imperial Space Force this time.

"What do you mean by that?

"No, this one. Either way, I thought it would be bold enough to scratch around to the fullest extent and harass you."

"... that's what the Earl of Ikthermal would do."

After hearing my thoughts, Commander Serena sighed with a very disgusting face.

Why does a noble family with such recognition keep wandering around? I wonder if it's a complicated and strange situation. Well, it doesn't matter to me. Don't get involved with the Earl of Ikthermal. I remember.

I was worried that the cleaning in the structure went well. An entrance is opened to the structure, a bridgehead is secured, and the interior of the structure is investigated and cleaned. There seems to have been some damage to the military combat bot in the process, but it is not a combat bot that stops with some damage. Thermal force, armor, and numbers pushed it, and finally the deepest part of it - the entrance into the basement - began.

I wonder if the terrestrial structure went off beautifully.

"I couldn't leave behind the grief of reckoning, so I had to clean it up."

That's true.

It's not funny that you're always being targeted. It must have been a tough hand to clean up the ground structure first.

"Mmm...."

"What happened?

"A fighter bot is sweeping and investigating the basement and has discovered artifacts. Looks like we got a hit."

Good for you.

But what the hell is that? It's probably like a plant that produces twisted kids. But plants that produce infinitely without materials, no matter how much technology advances in this world, are unlikely to be able to do so. Where the hell did you get that "ingredient"?

"I don't know how it affects terraforming... if there were a few things like this on the planet."

"I don't think it's going to happen if we destroy it from one end with an orbital bombing."

"Oops, you're making a more muscular statement than I thought.

"Because it's efficient. It would be a waste of money to destroy them with a Land War Force."

Sure, that might be true, but don't you care about environmental damage? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Destroy the Twisted for each environment, then we can fix it again. It's certainly efficient.

"Perhaps Gerritz is also in the underground man-made structure. We're on our way."

"Eye Mom"

Shouldn't we just leave it to the bots? I thought so, but I had to get it back as alive as possible. I don't really care, but would you like to go out with me?

I hope this is the last battle.
