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

On the boulder, Chris never visited Emperor Castle on a daily basis. I didn't, but after Her Royal Highness has become reluctant to deal with it for what it's worth, she's somehow - somehow, she seems very interested in my women's universal history.

"Well, let's talk about Dr. Shoko today."

"Give me a break"

There was nothing with Dr. Shawko! I feel like I've got a little bit of a good vibe, but to me, for an inspection. Ahh! I remember too strongly I did! But I lose the Crown Princess's offense and I talk. Do whatever you have to do now.

Crush another day like that. At last, we welcome you to the previous game, the Space Warfare Department.

The Department of Space Warfare will be a simulated battle using a real machine. Laser cannons and shields drop output for mock warfare, and live ammunition weapons use mock ammunition - but the power to bounce and fly when a biological human is lost. On top of that, the ship runs a damage management program for simulated warfare, and the referee's ship runs multiple assessment programs to serve as a referee. This referee is an Imperial Space Force ship that does not participate in mock warfare, and it is similarly in the Imperial Space Force exercise that serves as a stadium.

"Dear Hiro, who will join the war if it's not a mercenary?

"What I can imagine is an Imperial Astronaut onboard, but there might be others. Does Elma know what it is?

"A manoeuvring knight will come out, too."

"Mobile Knight"

What, that cool title even rides a man-made maneuver weapon? There were no man-made manoeuvres in the SOL, so if they do, what the hell do you want?

"It's a pattern of well-armed mercenaries being held by nobles and knighted. So the descendants serve the home as mobile knights for generations. There are quite a few of them on board."

You're not even on a manned maneuver weapon.

"At least you don't see it in the Empire. Apparently, the military bladeist faction has set out to equip the anti-ship blade, but I've heard that the cost and poor maintenance were a problem and the hiring was duly dropped off."

"Is there to be"

Ola, I'm getting a little excited. Is the problem so poorly maintained that even the military is missed recruiting? Well, I guess there's a good reason not to be hired.

"Are those manoeuvring knights strong?

"Is it?

"Stop doing Mimi's mane because it's not cute. Pinkie when it comes to strength. There are manoeuvring knights who continue to use the old ships of their ancestors."

I mean, there's a strong one, too.

"That's what I'm here for. In terms of mercenary rank, the Gold Rank equivalent of a manoeuvred knight is also in ruins. A manoeuvring knight, he runs bees and policing activities against alien thieves in the dominant territory. As a private soldier at home or as its commander. Some of them are famous."

"So you have a lot of experience in action."

"In some cases, it's better than the Imperial Air Force."

I see, so you can't even insult a maneuverable knight. If the nobles are on the back, they might be fully equipped. If you're using an ancient ship from your ancestors, you won't have to worry.

At the end of the day, it's hard to beat a ship no matter how good its arm is, if it has a fundamental performance difference. Regardless, if your arm isn't catching up even if it's only good for the ship, you can't pull out the performance of the ship and lose.

"Of course, the Imperial Aeronautical Army has some amazing skills called ace pilots. Pilots like that have a lot of experience in action, so you might get stuck when you insult them"

"I see. And mercenaries too."

"It must be the person you should be most careful about. If you're above the Gold Rank, you've got a lot of experience in action, and your ship is pretty powerful."

"Right."

However, Zero Thieves do not lean around the Imperial Capital. So inevitably the number of mercenaries is not that high either. If they were here, they would probably be mercenary regiments who mainly escort merchant convoys who came to buy goods from the Imperial City. Unlike the type of lone wolves like me, those people tend to specialize in mass combat.

Conversely, there are a lot of people who aren't that good at personal warfare. In my reading, I don't think mercenaries around the capital will be my opponents. Maybe he's got some business to run, like me, and he's amazing like he's coming to the Imperial City.

"Well, let's relax. If you do what you always do, you'll get your own results."

"Right!

"Right. Well, I'm not too worried."

"Come on, I finally did it! Your previous match, your last event is a space battle between battleships! Simulated warfare means the output of laser cannons and shields will be dropped, and live ammunition weapons will also be used, but what about the area?

"Even though I said I dropped the output, it's the kind of power that would wipe out in an instant if you hit a living person directly, so it wouldn't turn out to be dangerous. Besides, the shield output is also dropped, so if contact occurs, there can be a major accident. Don't worry, there's an Imperial Air Force rescue boat waiting for you in case of that. Enjoy a powerful battle in action by the participants."

Today's commentary looks like a woman. No way, Major Serena - no, you officially became a lieutenant colonel. I thought it was Lieutenant Colonel Serena, but it looks like someone else at all. You look like someone from the Imperial Air Force out of your outfit.

"Will the attention still be Captain Hilo?

"Of course that's true. He made his presence look intense both in the White Blade and in the White Soldiers. According to the information, space warfare is the battlefield he's best at. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of battle you're going to show me."

Um, I feel pressure from words. Well, I think you'll live up to your expectations.

"So this is the first game of the tournament. The first match is between Captain Rex, a Gold Ranker belonging to the Mercenary Corps" Arrow of Light, and Ensign Nielsen, a member of the twenty-eighth Defense Fleet of the Imperial Aeronautics Army. "

"The mercenary regiment" Arrow of Light "..."

A female soldier in the commentary begins introducing the participants. A mercenary regiment called Arrow of Light is a mercenary regiment that mainly serves as a merchant convoy escort, and that pilot like Rex seems to have a shooting down score among them as the top cutting captain. Second Lieutenant Nielsen is an Imperial Astronautical Army onboard pilot who is shooting down numerous enemy onboard aircraft in the war against neighboring Berebelem Federation?

"What do you say?

"Hmm, I don't care if the battle doesn't start, but it feels like Lex is going to be more trouble when he sees the fuselage"

The ship that a mercenary named Rex uses is a high-speed missile platform. It is a fuselage in the style of flirting with enemy aircraft in quick movements and attacking them with numerous seeker missiles. If you divide the spare generator output into attacks, you can also engage in melee warfare, so don't be alarmed by the aircraft.

Ensign Nielsen's driven fuselage against is the standard ship carrier of the Imperial Air Force. I have no habits, an honest masterpiece of manipulation, but I have no pointy spot. It's a multi-role fighter equipped with both lasers, multi-cannons and seeker missile pods. Such a mediocre fuselage, but Ensign Nielsen's fuselage is a bee military aircraft. It would be a very troublesome opponent depending on Ensign's arm, as the performance of each part and the fuselage itself is more than one turn higher than that of the mercenary's aircraft.

"It depends on Ensign Nielsen's arm."

"Right. As far as I'm concerned, it's probably easier for Ensign Nielsen."

"It's a hassle to be sprayed with Seeker missiles."

"That."

I don't know what to say. Saturation attacks by Seeker missiles are not cool. Krishna's mobility doesn't mean she can't shake it off, but in the meantime, she won't be very happy because it limits her attack and evasion manoeuvres. Flair or chaff can deceive you to some extent, but even the other person will understand that. We must be putting together a strategy on that.

"Ho ho, boulders are gold ranked. Don't do it."

"Right."

The game is progressing with a Gold Rank Mercenary Rex advantage. They are hunting down their opponents without letting them do anything because of a saturated attack by a large number of Seeker missiles from afar. Ensign Nielsen has successfully escaped so far using flares and other deceptive equipment, but has not been able to fight back.

"Do mercenaries win this better?

"If only I could attack you."

Rex's use of Seeker missiles is skillful. Not only is he directly aiming, but he even uses a "put missile" to hunt down Ensign Nielsen, which keeps the missile in advance in the direction of the opponent's escape and causes him to start tracking with a time difference. However, there are weaknesses in the missile-based configuration.

"You escaped."

"Right."

It was Rex, who had been hunting down Ensign Nielsen with a missile for a while, but apparently the missile's ammunition finally bottomed out. Ensign Nielsen's fuselage isn't intact either, so I guess it's an abdominal desire to end up with a laser. Ensign Nielsen against is a one-off offense. The two aircraft's intersect visibly, and the light strips glow in the void.

"What do you think?

"I'd put up a melee before I completely ran out of ammo. Perhaps you still have the missile?

"Right."

It is the next moment that I said so. The explosion occurred the moment the two ships crossed. Apparently, as I expected, the mercenary Rex still had a Seeker missile. Perhaps when crossing with Ensign Nielsen, he also took the inertia of the fuselage and knocked the missile in at close range.

But the battle had not yet arrived.

"That's a military aircraft, no shooting down verdict yet"

"You're tough."

A fierce dogfight begins again, but now it's time to shoot the missile completely off, and Rex was gradually cornered by Ensign Nielsen, who ended up shot down.

"I knew it was the defeat that couldn't be decided once and for all in the first offense"

"At the beginning, Ensign Nielsen's sober judgment, who was completely on the run and invited to drain his enemies, divided the battle."

"I see -... how would Master Hiro have fought?

"If you were a Rex opponent, you'd have broken through with flares and chuffs and intercepted a Seeker missile with a shotgun, set up a quick attack and shot it down. Ensign Nielsen, if you're dealing with a dogfight, you're not going to lose, and I think you can win anything with a pull and shoot at four heavy laser guns."

Wait for your turn as you discuss your thoughts on the current battle with each other. We'll be here quite a bit later this time. Or not even seed this time. Wouldn't it be okay not to treat him special if he was good at the field? His Majesty the Fuckin 'Emperor's face is behind his brain saying something like that. Ha, no way.

"Come on, next up, who's been the cut off from this game before you! Here comes Captain Hiro!

"I've seen his combat data, too, but he's going to do a bit of an incredible combat maneuver. Looking forward to seeing what kind of battle you have."

Announcers and commentary female military men are heard from wide area communication channels.

"Dear Hiro, you are expected."

"I have trouble being expected. I'm not going out of my way to maneuver like a bend."

"You can do what you always do."

That's what Elma says and flaunts her shoulders. Well, that's true, too. I don't even have to bother to feel it.

"The opponent is Sir Weisel, who acts as a manoeuvring knight at the Count Ledlan's house! We are usually in charge of policing in Count Ledran territory and have extensive experience in fighting the Zero Thieves."

"Captain Hilo's fuselage is an unfamiliar model, but Sir Weisel's used fuselage is a small battleship that is also employed by the Imperial Space Force. It is a ship larger than the onboard aircraft and equipped with a more powerful generator. It's a very similar ship to a mercenary battleship."

"I see, which do you see as advantageous in fuselage performance?

"It's difficult to evaluate a ship called Krishna, driven by Captain Hiro, because it's a completely unknown ship, but according to the material, it seems to be an aggressive ship that combines high mobility and firepower. Sir Weisel's compact battleship against - Sabre IV - is also a high-performance ship that combines mobility with high firepower. Again, the pilot's arm will determine the battle trend."

"I see this is suddenly going to be a fierce fight. Now we start counting down the start of the match!

The countdown to the start of the game began. At the same time activate the Weapon System and deploy four heavy laser guns and two shotguns.

"What about the operation?

"Go straight and bust it"

At the end of the countdown, I sprayed Krishna's thrusters with maximum output.
