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

Thirty hours later, the Imperial Space Forces - or the Independent Fleet against the Starfleet, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Serena - launched simultaneous attacks on several Red Flag Starfleet strongholds in the Rifil system.

"Our target is Bravo, the enemy base."

"I didn't know there were two Space Bandit nodes in the same system.When were they planning a raid? "

There's a lot to say about space bandits' hubs, but a relatively large number of them have been converted into larger asteroids.Perforate the interior and house the structure therein as a living compartment.Bring other asteroids and connect them with the structure if expansion is needed.

Why bother retrofitting asteroids, of course, is to hide our bases from the eyes of our mercenaries, system forces, and the Imperial Space Force, who are targeting space bandits.A retrofitted asteroid base is harder to discover than a base made of ordinary man-made structures.There are countless things in the system, so we can't scrutinize them one by one - no, but could we possibly have opportunistic intelligence?Is there any countermeasure?At least in SOL, it was set that there were many bases that modified asteroids for that reason.

Incidentally, there is no space bandit base that uses a special structure that is highly stealthy.Pretty special though. I don't know what kind of hexahedron I saw in the SOL event, but anyway, the polyhedron's SF chic appearance made it highly stealthy and difficult to supplement the radar.

Eventually, players reacted to warheads, torpedoes, EMLs, and missiles, and exploded brilliantly.

"It's not just the base, it's going to take a while.Still, there are two things you've been hunting for a long time.I wonder if you even got a big buyer? "

"Buyer?"

"After all, space bandits are also a business.The fact that we have two bases means that even if we invest that much, we can recover it.If we catch the elves, it's reasonable to assume that there are large customers who will pay just to catch them. "

Nevertheless, many of the elves are beautiful and have a long life span.He is also a potential psychologist.Would it be too much to be a dark slave without a big customer?

"No, you might think too much.The elves seem to sell very well. "

"You have a lot of beauty, Elves."

"I know it's a compliment, but it's a delicate feeling when you talk about your value as a slave."

Elma, who was noticed by me and Mimi, had a calm expression.Well, I guess so. You look like you're selling high, cute.It's subtle even if they say so.

"It's about time you stopped thinking about the backdrop."

Yeah, let's do that.

The synchronous voyage is almost complete and we will arrive at the space bandit base of Bravo.Our assault force is led by Lieutenant-Colonel Serena in an independent fleet against the Starfleet, accompanied by mercenaries, including myself.Incidentally, the army in the Rifil system - which seems to have many Rose clans - is attacking the space bandit stronghold, Alpha, and a mix of Imperial Space Forces convoked from other systems.I have heard that there was a lot of heat in the system forces in the Rifil system as an opportunity for stigma to return.

You're nervous.

"Really? I think you can take it easy.I don't want to be alarmed. "

"Why?"

"You were eating under a system lockdown, right?I don't think we have half the power of the Starbase. "

Ah, I see.

"I can't be as alarmed as Hiro said.They don't know what to do when they're hunted down. "

"You can say that. You might get a rash and break the singing crystal."

"That's troublesome...."

My analogy makes Mimi twitch her cheeks.The singing crystal is a nasty object that attracts a large number of crystal organisms on the spot when destroyed, and it was an item that triggered a Raid Event when used in SOL.In this world, it is a super dangerous item that is prohibited to possess.

If you think about it, what the hell is it?It's an amazing thing to think about the massive amount of crystalline organisms that jump through time and space when you destroy them.If we can analyze it well, it will be a hint of new FTL navigation technology.

"Come on, concentrate. I'm going to warp out."

"Oops, I'm sorry. Let's get started."

Dogong! and the roar sounded, and the distant stars that were flowing back like glowing arrows stopped moving.

Commander to each ship. Remove resistance from enemy nodes.Destroy enemy base defense modules with precision shelling of large ships.Medium and small vessels are cleared of direct masks.The onboard aircraft will defend the large ships. "

"Copy that. Here we go."

"Eisa, change to sensor range, combat mode."

"Generator, from cruise output to combat output.Weapon system activated, subsystem standby. You can go anytime. "

"All right, I'll take the spear. Elma, heat sink activation"

"Hey!?"

Spray Krishna's thrusters with maximum power and head to the Space Bandit node.Yeah, it's the type of base that remodeled the asteroid, as expected.When I look at it, I see something like a maintenance dock. Is this the way it is?

"There are many energy reactions to enemy bases.Defense Module activated!Anti-air gunfire is coming! "

Chaff Flair!

"I know!"

As the emergency cooling unit works, the tingling sounds and cools rapidly into the cockpit, Elma says so and deploys Chaff and Flare simultaneously.At the same time, when we activated the afterburner for a moment and accelerated rapidly, a large number of large-calibre laser shells penetrated the space we were in until a moment ago.It's an air-to-air attack from a Starbase defense module.I was fooled by the flare's heat source and Chaff's perturbation.

Oh, no, it's a little loose.Safe because it's not a direct hit.

"Hey, did you grab it!?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Here we go. It's a mess."

Large-calibre laser cannons equipped to these bases are powerful and accurate, but they are not very compact.Moving around at a distance can be difficult to re-aim so easily, and shooting poorly can get your allies involved.And with Krishna's acceleration, you'll be able to dive into your pocket after a blow.

Now, the moment I thought about combat maneuvers, I got a transmission. Commander Serena.

"This is Commander. Krishna, stay on course. Countdown. Five, four..."

"Really!? Elma, activate the shield cell!"

"Ah, already!"

Whether you're sneaking a large-calibre laser cannon or a medium-caliber melee defense laser, a multi-cannon turret, or a Seeker missile attack!If we can't avoid it properly, we'll be stuck!?

"Ugh, you're being shot!?"

"Goddamn it! Keep it, keep it!"

The course remains intact, spraying afterburners to fill up the space bandit base at maximum combat speed - but after all, straight manoeuvres with no twist cannot avoid anti-aircraft fire. Bam bam bam.

Stop it, you're gonna die! No, you're antagonizing the recharge in the Critical Shield Cell!?

Is it less than I thought?

"Three, two, one..."

At the end of the countdown, a storm of large-calibre laser guns illuminated from behind struck the Starbase, causing massive explosions everywhere.Apparently, they destroyed an anti-aircraft defense module targeting Krishna with a large ship cannon.

"It's a good job. You can move on from here."

"Remember, seriously."

I can't afford to make up for my anger.I really won't forgive you.

Of course, I will reward you for your work. Commander, out. "

"That's not what I meant!"

"Communication is down."

"Me too....."

I feel like I have felt the greatest danger to my life since I came to this world when I was on a ship.If it weren't for Krishna, it would've melted.

"Just stay calm. They're saving our lives."

"Got it! Shit!"

Anyway, I don't want you to come back alive and shoot that beautiful face.In some cases, they don't quit the duel.

"But you kept your shields... one mistake and you crashed."

"I see... you've kept it strange."

Elma is tilting her neck.Why are you tilting your head? [M]I assume you were in charge of the shield.

"Was the Space Bandit's defense module a bit more sluggish than I thought?"

"Oh, yeah, that's possible."

Perhaps due to lack of maintenance, the output was not as expected.If the laser lens remains dirty or the focus adjustment is too sweet, it will be less powerful.

Well, let's focus on the fight now.

It's my fault, but it seems that the Space Bandit base's defense modules have been almost disabled, and if I look at the location where the blackjacks are not coming out, they're really depleted.After that, if we crush the survival of the defense module while watching out for the launch of the direct mask, this base will be completely naked.Let's get rid of it. Lieutenant-Colonel Serena will definitely punch you once more. Absolutely.
