After a short time, we will communicate lightly with the mercenaries who will act together before we leave.
Speaking of which, this is the first time in our world that we have acted as the leader of a temporary fleet.Well, not all of them are beginners, and as a leader, I don't think you need to take care of them.
“As stated in the request, the final destination is the Eignorus system, which is located five systems away from the gateway.Since we will share the route setting data, please input it into your navigation system. "
Okay, okay, I'll get back to you.Some are silent, but I won't force you to answer.If you don't do what you're told, just report it to the mercenary guild.
"Ultra-light speed voyage and hyperdrive are synchronized with the biggest black lotus.I'm going to apply for a sync from Black Lotus, so if you approve it, I'll take care of the rest.However, there is a possibility of an attack from the Interdict during hyperdrive or ultra-light speed voyages.We can handle the voyage itself, but be ready in case of an emergency.Otherwise, it might explode while standing on the battlefield. "
As I said that, a few people ask me a question.To sum up, do you have any idea what kind of opponents might be attacking other than the usual thieves - that's how you have to gather your gestures? That's the content.
"As you may know, the Red Flag sweeping operation that started a short while ago dared the Star Thieves to launch a second attack on Leafy IV in the Leafy system."Whatever you think, the Elves in the Leafle system may be resented by the remnants of the Red Flag.Also, I'm likely to be resented for being an active sweeper.In other words, it's not like there's a zero chance of a thank you coming, so I took care of it. "
You seem to be generally satisfied with my explanation.There are a few people who still suspect or show an attitude of not trusting, but that is within their expectations.These people have good noses because they can sense the danger.
Well, my reward is a little bit of a bargain so that I don't get suspicious of the mercenaries, and the risk felt by the mercenaries who look for requests to join the fleet is reduced.In addition, we made significant concessions regarding the crusade bounty and loot, and if the cosmic bandits attacked, we would have created a feeling that it would be a ruined profit.
"Um... it's like I'm cheating on you."
When I finished my correspondence, Mimi stared at me in the face with a little frown between her brows.
“I'm not fooling you. It's kind of dangerous to openly say that Crimson Lance is suspicious."
"We're not sure about that, are we?"
It seems that Mimi's spirit is screaming at the pressure on the side of ordering the mine action, but it's just a daily sight that Elma and I don't care about.In fulfilling this request, even if someone dies, it's just that he's had bad luck with the dead guy's arm.
Whether it's the Iron Rankers, the Bronze Rankers, or the Silver Rankers, they're more professional than mercenaries, and they work as mercenaries at the risk of their own lives.
Of course, I am not willing to let you die recklessly, as I am a member of the same fleet, albeit temporarily.I'm going to stand around and make sure my people don't get shot down if anything happens.But ultimately, it's up to you to save your own life.I'm doing my best to do that.It was part of that that I hired them.
"Mimi, I'm not a story hero, I'm just a mercenary."And he is not a saint.That's why I'm not willing to sacrifice the lives of others to save myself and everyone else.And I'm not trying to escape by using the mercenaries I hired as my complete shield, or by throwing them away as pawns?In the unlikely event of an attack, I will fight back as much as I can. "
"I see..."
Looks like you're still not convinced.Hmm, I've experienced a lot of easy battles, so I'm a little confused.How did you explain it?
"Mimi, it seems like you're mistaken, but it's impossible to face the Crimson Lance headed by Marie, even if you say that Hiro has the skill to master perverted maneuvers and Krishna has out-of-standard performance."Until now, Mimi has seen Hiro lightly take victory over the army of the Federation of Belem, the crystal life form, and the previous games, right? "
Yes.
"Until now, Hiro has won in such situations because basically Hiro has always dominated the flow of battle with the attacking side, and the chaos and perverted maneuvers caused by the ambush.It was the first time I was a member of the Federation of Belem. "
It is a singing crystal that is a particularly dangerous object that summons crystalline life forms from nowhere.Indeed, without the crystalline life form summoned by that singing crystal, it would have been impossible to defeat the Federation of Bellevue with the strength of the system forces and mercenaries deployed in the Tarmaine system at that time.
"But this time, it's the worst case scenario of a fleet of mercenaries in the Gold Rankers."A ship with unparalleled capabilities compared to a Space Bandit would be able to launch a highly coordinated battle with the appropriate skill.No matter how much Hiro's perverted maneuver and Krishna fought from the front, there was no chance of winning.That's the kind of opponent, the fleet of gold trunkers. "
"Thank you for explaining for me."But did you have to say "pervert maneuver" three times?
"There it is."
I can't complain anymore when I am told that I have the urge to make you feel strong will.I see, it was necessary.Then there's no helping it. Yeah, I can't help it.
But, if Hiro-sama says that, he's going to twist it lightly, right?
“That's right. I'm telling you, I'm a little suspicious that I won't be able to win if I'm actually entangled with the Crimson Lance people.”
That said, both of you stare at my face.
I'm good at a lot of battles, but I can't be honest because I don't know exactly what my opponent is capable of, and I can only predict the performance of the plane.
Honestly, I don't know if I have to fight.I couldn't beat it if I considered the total durability, including the simple total firepower and shields.Krishna's shields are more likely to miss an attack if they're attacked by a laser cannon that is virtually unavoidable.There was some armor as the last stronghold, but it was still a small ship, so I couldn't trust it that much.
"No matter what, it's best not to fight."
"That's right, that's the best."
I wonder if it's going to work that way?
It's going to be difficult.
To be honest, I'm totally giving up.That's why we're trying to hire mercenaries to create a slightly more advantageous situation.If Krishna can handle anything, I don't have to struggle like this... but the world isn't going well.
Master, it's time to leave port soon.
"Understood. Fleet, request departure and meet us at Point Alpha."Mimi, please apply for departure. "
Yes!
Respond cheerfully and begin to apply for departure. Remove your gaze from Mimi and look toward the space where Crimson Lance was anchored.The place has already been emptied and there are several other ships docked instead.Apparently, they all left the ship the day after I sent out the request.
However, four hours ago, when we came up from Leafy IV into space, a small scout ship that explored our movements was stuck in Leafy IV's satellite orbit.They left two days ago at the latest.
Look at the number and give up
I hope you give up.
Elma shrugged her shoulders at my blur.I really think so.
