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

Shortly after the hyperdrive warp out, our Imperial Starfleet entered the battle against crystalline life forms. The main enemy is the medium crystal life form subspecies, tentatively known as the Guardian Crystal.

Since this battle was something that could have been assumed with information from 'he', no upset is seen throughout the Imperial Aeronautical Army. The formation of a crystalline life-form annihilation fleet based on uncertain information from sources and the preparation of specific operations broke bones, but it was worth it.

Regardless, I haven't said a word that it's information from him. I heard more from him, and combined it with the information gathered by the third and fourth scout fleets, I made it up as an analytical result, scouting the captains of the other fleets and the commanders of the front-line bases with three inches of tongue.

Stupid. Honestly, I heard it in the wind rumors. I don't need to tell you that I heard it from a mercenary. As it turns out, it also leads to protecting a source called him.

"Initial response to crystalline life forms doesn't seem to be a problem."

Thickly-positioned, fast corvettes attract the attention of crystalline life-forms-Guardian crystals as they operate. Soon the mercenaries' small ships began to join the front, and the mercenaries' medium-sized and large ships have already begun shelling. Imperial NASA ships are also preparing for simultaneous artillery fire.

"Yes, the Major's analysis seems to have been brilliantly positive."

"Right."

Although it's actually his information, not my analysis. Well, I don't have a problem with the results. If this operation succeeds without flaws, it will be my feat.

"This is Krishna. It bypasses the front line and penetrates the flank of an enemy group. Use reaction warhead torpedoes to draw the enemy's attention, so be careful not to get caught in the explosion '

That's what he calls it in broad bands, sharing data such as the position of his own ship and the burst range of the penetration course reaction warhead.

"Same as always."

"The Silver Sword Wing Assault Medal is not Dada."

His ship - Krishna - runs from side to side into a herd of crystalline life forms and eats through its interior. Apparently he's not only breaking through that herd, but also making a fierce attack on crystalline life forms as he breaks through.

Besides, speed is unusual. The fact that he has barely slowed down since he entered proves that his maneuvering skills are in the realm of divinity. What kind of training does it pack and how many dead lines dive into to create such a mercenary?

"Target data synchronization complete!

"Let's smash it while he's attracting our enemies. Synchronized Artillery, Begin"

"iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

All imperial NASA ships integrate the data so that no artillery targets are exposed, and turn it into a perfectly controlled herd to initiate synchronous artillery fire. Laser shelling emitted simultaneously from numerous ships dazzled dark space.

Sliding through between the Guardian crystals trying to turn back toward this one, he punches a shotgun at close range, breaking through the shivering cosmic space of the crystalline life form as he destroys the small crystalline life form about to storm from the front with the indiscriminate firing of four heavy laser guns.

Guardian crystals attack with light rays and light bullets without hesitation, but Krishna's robust shield takes those attacks without difficulty.

Shield, it's still stable.

"Their rays aren't as powerful as they seem. The light bullet hurts a lot, but if you're giving it speed because the bullet speed is slow and the aim is sweet, you won't hit it first. The only thing that's at stake is a breakthrough."

"Still, there are limits. Gradually, the shield capacity is shredded."

"You both can afford it under this circumstance..."

I can't confirm it because I can't keep my eyes off the main monitor on the boulder, but the tension seeped out of Mimi's voice in color. That's because if you get a small crystalline life form thrust or stick it on the side of a Guardian crystal, you'll jump around like a pinball between the crystalline life forms.

Naturally, when that happens, the shield disappears quickly, so the only way to do this is to get stuck in a crystalline life form and blow it up. Well, I'm not going to make that mortal mistake.

"The Imperial Astronautical Army has sent us artillery warning data! Synchronized shelling, coming!

Many powerful laser shelling landed behind Krishna at the same time as Mimi's words. Guardian crystals exposed to high-output laser shelling evaporate and explode with intense light. Military battleships on boulders, cruiser class laser shelling are different in power. I'm just saying it's no fart to have some laser resistance.

"That's very powerful."

"That's why you can't fight military battleships and cruisers directly from the front. If you stick around, there's no way."

With the current shelling, hostility seems to have turned towards the Imperial Starfleet, slowing down the Guardian Crystal attack on Krishna as soon as possible. It's not me who misses this gap. Immediately fire the remaining two reaction warhead torpedoes into a herd of forward crystalline life forms and flip them into an empty 'hole' in a herd of crystalline life forms with synchronous artillery fire from the Imperial Aeronautical Army. Awesome G hits me on the turn, but I'm used to this.

"Damn... reaction warhead torpedo, it burst! Crystal life form, I'll be back here again!

"Okay. I'll drag you around."

"That's easier."

We started to flee on the flip, and our front is Skuska thanks to the shelling of the Imperial Air Force. There is no creation to escape from crystalline life forms that follow from the rear in this state. Krishna wins overwhelmingly at speed. It is an easy task to run the ship with a little light bullet flying from behind.

"Synchronized shelling, we'll be back"

Again behind Krishna, a powerful synchronous artillery shell of the Imperial Aeronautical Army lands on the flank of the crystalline life forms that evacuate and push over. Laser artillery fire, calculated and exhausted to allow no overlap in attack targets and maximum effect, evaporated and detonated most of the rest of the crystalline life form. All that remains now is the survival of a tiny number of crystalline life forms that have escaped synchronous artillery fire and crystalline life that is in turmoil with the Corvettes and mercenary ships of the Imperial Navy.

"We're going into a riot and we're going into a doom."

"Ha!"

Copy that.

Before long, the surrounding crystalline life form was annihilated.

"Good day. Go into supply and maintenance."

"Please, and I think the damaged mercenary ships are coming to get repairs and supplies again, so stay with me."

"Okay, you're in a hurry"

Get off Tallap and tell the mechanic sisters that and take Mimi and Elma to the dining room in the living quarters. To take advantage of the supply and maintenance time.

"Well, that was tough."

"Sort of."

"Well, well, well."

"I think it's about Hiro who can do that so-so. At least I can't."

Each sourced a drink from Tetsujin Fifth for one dose. Oh, cold drinks stain my body after the battle. My favorite flavor these days is Lemon. Mimi seems to prefer the banana system and Elma the grape flavor. Well, it's 0% fruit juice! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Huh? I was wondering if you wouldn't drink the carbonated beverage that I bought in Sierra III, such as the carbonated coke in the example?

Yeah, it's more like this, quiet, calm, something to taste and drink when your mind is at peace. It's not something to taste cluttered in between fights. There are only a few of them. It's more important to me than a reaction warhead torpedo.

As I was taking a dose, a call rang from my phone information device. Looks like a call from Major Serena. I'll operate the terminal, transfer it to the dining room holo display and start communicating.

Yes. Hi, it's Hiro.

Major Serena across the holo display looks around at us taking one dose, puts one breath down and opens his tease mouth.

'Congratulations first. You're once again the top ace in the number of destroys.'

"Thank you. We've been helped by rapid backup shelling."

'Thanks to you for a good meal. Since the enemy started heading to Krishna before the rampage with the avant-garde got in full swing, the avant-garde wear and tear turned out to be negligible as well. Thank you.'

"That's more than anything. So, what's up?

'No, I was just trying to put words of labor on the top ace. Next, slap the enemy's main circle. As soon as we're done replenishing the small ships, we'll move on to action, so we intend to.'

"Eyeymom"

As I saluted towards the holo display, Major Serena smiled slightly before disconnecting.

"... what was it?

"Come on?"

"Hmmm...... are you up to something?

He was Major Serena, who had no faith in us because of his actions so far. I don't think I find anything particularly suspicious in retrospect of the content of the conversation. Looks like you've been communicating to me to give me a compliment that really worked.

"Well, the compliment is that I'll take it honestly"

"Is it okay......?

"I don't think you've ever been up to anything in your current conversation with a boulder."

It is Major Serena who has no credibility in returning it. Normal behavior and impression are important.
