□ [Armored Pilot] Hugo Receps

After leaving the special hall, we split into two hands.

Mr. Manigold and Mr. Isala headed to the bridge, which was responsible for controlling the ship, starting with steering.

It's the most important point we have to defend, and to explain the status quo to the captains who won't be able to grasp what's going on in the hall.

Me and Cuco, as well as Mr. Eldridge and Mr. Niara, were tasked with sweeping the remnants of the ship in turn from the commercial blocks.

It was Mr Eldridge who said we should start with the commercial block.

The reason was very convincing: 'The fact that they used the ship's information equipment meant that the commercial blocks were definitely contained'.

So now we're looking for a commercial block.

"Hey, what are you doing?

But abruptly, Cuco threw those words at Mr. Eldridge, who preceded him.

"Cuco?"

"I'm hiding, what?

"It's kind of awkward. I feel like I'm having a rough time."

…………

To Cuco's words, Mr. Eldridge was silent.

But somehow... it also looks like cold sweat is passing on to the neck muscle.

"... actually"

"What do you mean?"

"In the mall of the commercial block, there are members of the clan. I was worried and in a hurry about her bluffing (status quo). I'm sorry I mixed up my personal feelings at this time."

"No, as Mr. Eldridge said, I'm pretty sure there's an orthodox government on the commercial block"

Even if there are other reasons, the commercial blocks definitely have Dreyfe Orthodox government, so we have to deal with them.

"Besides, it's only natural that you're worried about your people."

"If you say so, it will help"

Mr. Eldridge said that with a really horrible face.

I guess he's a good clan owner who cares about his clan.

That's how we made it through the aisle to the commercial block.

"It's a quick start. Coming."

Shortly after entering the commercial block, Mr. Eldridge prompted a warning.

Then one [Marshall II] - a fairly custom aircraft and - nearly ten infantry approached us.

Mr. Eldridge immediately waved his right hand and used his skills to take away his opponent's fuselage as he did in the hall.

But...... its fuselage was not taken away, nor did it stop it from moving forward.

"Why...?

"… a fairly high level of anti-theft aircraft. I failed to make the" Greater Big Pocket "decision twice in a row. They didn't just look different from the people in the hall."

That is what Mr Eldridge replied to my question.

Indeed, [Marshall II] has a system to combat theft… a system to inhibit the skills of theft and robbery systems, to be precise, can be listed. It is an applied development technique for some item boxes.

However, since the measures at the highest level cost materials close to the main unit in themselves, the advanced ones were not used much.

It would be about my [White Rose] and my master's [Blue Opera].

"When this happens, we just have to destroy it in direct combat and move on..."

I saw a little rush on Mr. Eldridge's face.

I'm sure that tells you about a fellow man who would be on this commercial block.

"Leave this place to me. Mr. Eldridge and the others first. Cuco!"

"Uh-oh, mam."

I "Immediately Release" [White Rose] from the item box and get in immediately.

Cuco also immediately merges with [White Rose].

"... I left it to you"

"Please.... mam?

Mr Eldridge and Ms Niara rushed in a different direction from their impending enemies by saying so.

Drop it off and I'll start the fight too.

"Cuco, what about Hellgate?

"Bullshit. Those guys, they're all fucked up."

If the pilots and infantry of the looming custom aircraft, both of which will have the number of fellow crusaders...... no problem.

Mr. Eldridge and Mr. Niara have already set themselves aside, and I don't see any other people.

I can use it now.

"Range range is narrowed to fifty meters for use"

"Whoa."

"- The Hell Gate."

Moments later, the infantry soldiers who were within fifty meters freeze.

Some have frozen parts of their hands and feet, and some have frozen half of their bodies.

Some escaped judgment, but suddenly I see confusion.

Some of them attempted an attack on this one, but all gunpowder firearm bullets are bounced by [White Rose] mythical metal alloy armor.

Unlike magic formulas, gunpowder formulas that are no different in power no matter who uses them. Power is also known at the portable firearms level, and the defense of [White Rose], which focuses solely on defense, cannot be removed.

There's only one thing to be aware of.

"His Nakami (...). Not yet."

"Seems so."

As Cuco pointed out, the custom aircraft launches an attack on this one without lacking any excitement as to whether the pilot has escaped [frozen] judgment.

The power of portable firearms held by the Orthodox government is seen in the hall directed at Mr. Manigold.

If you take that, [White Rose] but it's not totally no damage.

So focus on avoiding the opponent's attacks and preventing direct attacks to start.

Time is on our side.

"Joo-san Biao"

And a second judgment.

The [freeze] of the infantry proceeded further, and now the ones that were not frozen earlier also began to freeze. Some were frozen all over their bodies.

Still, the movement of the custom machine is not dull.

"... Cuco, what's their count?

"... maybe, hachiju (...) or so"

…………

Failing 80% twice in a row is probable.

But odd discomfort...... and I remember chills.

"... fighting in a positive way"

"Uh-oh, mam."

The Hell Gate doesn't go through. Whatever the reason, I felt that way.

This one also has a portable firearm and an ice blade for proximity, relative to a custom machine.

- Strong skills have their drawbacks.

- Doesn't Hugo and Cuco have weaknesses we're not even aware of yet?

Mr. Manigold's words were wooden in his head.

□ ■ [Eltrame] - Commercial block

Sleeping military men were being stripped of their figure by Faye as the sirens rang.

"Peppy, shut up. It sounds like a comm machine."

At first I was surprised by the comms that started ringing in the color, but nothing happened after that. Though I tried hiding again, there is no sign of new enemies coming.

So Faye had left it to ring and left it untouched, but the siren, which never stopped ringing, gradually became depressing.

"Oh, yeah."

Faye "Steeled" it just for the May Fly and forced it to be quiet by serving his item box.

"It's convenient to have a telecom. Hehe, you're earning so much extra money. Atashi sounds like a real prize this time! Overeating Pocky The owner's fondness goes up the eel even if his stomach is subtracted!

He was gutting himself with a full grin like that...... but.

Shortly afterwards, a desert-specified [Marshall II] appeared in her sight in a hover drive.

"Nah!? Atashi wouldn't even allow the shooting. It should have been a silent job! I knew it was because of the siren earlier..."

"Is this where the comms disconnect is!

…………

Apparently, the comms themselves were markers to check the current position of their buddies, and that's what they came rushing for, although they were punished by the item box.

(... oh, this is madzilla)

[Marshall II] pointing the gun gate at her is called < Dragon Subgrade Magic Gear >.

When calculating the basic performance as a status, it is for subdragons.

But that's just a basic performance story.

Performance is improved with the passenger's skills, including "piloting", and the firearm firepower carried is calculated separately.

Therefore, it can be said that < Subdragon Magingear > is definitely stronger than Subdragon first.

…………

And Faye is not the opponent of the enemy.

It is a build that does not extend except for AGI and DEX over the original, and the state anomaly attacks of daggers that can be used in interpersonal are not thorough on thick crusts and armored opponents.

Even if you run away, it's faster than Faye from the speed at which it showed up. Perhaps the pilot is a [disease pilot].

Most importantly, Maggie isn't even the size you can steal from Steel. Eldridge can steal the whole fuselage because it's [Robbery King] 's Greater Big Pocket.

I mean, Faye had no hitters, he was packed.

(How much... what do we do?!? Oh, yeah!

The hunted fay woke up the body of a soldier who was in a... [forced sleep] state.

And......

"If I spare my people's lives, I won't attack them!

That's what I said, I shoved a dagger around my neck.

He seemed like a really small villain.

(hehe, this way you're sure to stop the movement...... there is?

However, although the opponent's [Marshall II] stopped moving for only a moment... he immediately aimed at the gun gate.

"Hey, can't you see my buddy?!?

"Our countrymen don't deserve to be defeated by Kosovar mud."

"Migya!? The history of the planet and the hero show were demonstrating that excessive Solemnity would collapse!?

It is a statement that does not contemplate the general premise that the opponent does not know the history of the planet or the hero show.

Although it is like the Dreiffe Orthodox government itself was a solemn subject in the Empire.

Whatever it is, the little villain smudged hostage tactics also make no sense, Faye is buried by artillery along with military men in [forced sleep] condition......

"If you lose to Koso Mud, you don't qualify? - Then you're disqualified."

At the same time that such words reached Faye's ears from behind [Marshall II]...... [Marshall II] could disappear (...).

……

Later, there was the figure of a pilot falling to the floor in a manoeuvring position with the expression of not knowing what had happened….

"There's a gap!

He was instantly slapped abnormally in Fay's Shifus Geschpenst and fell into [forced sleep] just as his fellow attempters tried to bury him.

"Phew! Huh! Justice wins!

"... Justice, huh? We are the bandit clan..."

There was a voice that contemplated meaning to the words of the winning Faye.

When Faye turns around, there's...

"Whatever, I'm glad I made it"

There was an Eldridge figure who robbed [Marshall II] now to save her.

"Owner! Seriously, I missed you! You were so careful. Whoa!

Faye now jumped to hold on to Chance and Eldridge, but

"I won't allow that"

I was caught by Niara, who broke in just before.

"... oh, I missed Niara too."

"You have a discrepancy with the owner. I know how you feel."

Looking at the two people interacting like that, Eldridge thought, 'We're still good friends,' etc.

"Well, Faye. I just wanted to ask you one thing."

"My favorite food sounds like hot dogs full of The Warclout!

"No."

At the same time as Eldridge's words, Niara slapped him in the head and put in a scratch.

"The siren started ringing after Faye did something or before?

…………

Faye couldn't answer. "Ah. If I'm honest with you, he'll be pissed off," she also knew very well.

"... let's change the question. Did these guys siren?

"You're not ringing! Atashi worked silently!

"Now! I'm here to prove the innocence of Atashi! 'And all in all, Faye said so with a quick mouth.

"... well. Then can you delude me?"

To Faye's response, Eldridge relieved himself a little.

Such folds, heavy and hard footsteps echo towards them.

"Mr. Eldridge. Are you all right?

That was pure white... Hugo's [White Rose].

"Ah! Owner! It's prey! It's prey!

"No, Faye. That's our ally for this one."

"To?"

Faye looked like he floated a hatena mark, so Niara started explaining how it had been so far.

With those two sideways, Hugo and Eldridge also exchange words.

"I'm sorry you had to take it on."

"Yeah, Mr. Eldridge had to rush to the members, too."

"Oh. Thanks to you, we could rendezvous.... than that."

Eldridge immediately noticed the condition of [White Rose].

Damage to the frame is not thorough, but surface armor shows some damage.

That's not a small wound caused by an infantry firearm, but by [Marshall II] 's arming.

"Your skills, were they not covered by Hellgate?

In registering outside the scope, Hugo has explained his skills.

The effect is enhanced by the number of fellow crusaders, [frozen] definitive if it exceeds 100.

War...... It was an effective skill for professional military opponents after the Civil War, so neither did Eldridge think Hugo would be handsome so far.

"I need to talk to you about it."

◇ ◇ ◇

□ [Armored Pilot] Hugo Receps

After switching to a battle on positive offense, the settlement was quickly reached.

Not so long after the engagement...... because the pilot of the custom aircraft [frozen].

That would have been the fourth or fifth judgment.

While they were fighting each other for damage, suddenly 80% of their bodies [frozen] and the fuselage could no longer be maneuvered, and their entire bodies froze in the next decision.

Simply put, until then, I was finally hooked on a decision that I was fortunate enough to avoid.

But I didn't think that was all.

I thought maybe there was a factor that would seal Cuco's Hell Gate.

"What do you say?

…………

So I showed Mr. Eldridge the custom plane I fought for.

The frozen pilot has already been lowered and sidelined with the rest of the [frozen] military personnel.

It will later be handed over to the official constitution before [freezing] is lifted.

"This airframe, the anti-theft measures that prevented my skills, are used with the highest degree of purity. Plus, there's a lot of comms gear."

"For communications?

"Guess this is the source of communications jamming and the host of their network."

Commercial blocks were probably the most efficient way to bypass communications because they were near the center of the ship.

Requirements for Orthodox government to collaborate. If it is an important aircraft, I am also convinced that there were anti-theft skills in place.

…………

But then I don't know why I didn't [freeze] it by Hellgate.

Anti-theft, communication jamming, and communication hosts. None of it seemed to affect the judgment of Hell Gate.

"Have you ever used your skills against someone before?

"Several times in tests in the clan"

Sister-led validation experiment, it should have been.

At that time, the duel rankers in the clan aboard [Marshall II] and [Marshall II Modified] were [frozen]. If you think about it, it would have been an experiment on whether it could be used against duel rankers in Gideon.

"Then don't tell me what's the difference."

"Different sounds different, doesn't it? I saw it online before. [Marshall II] Pretty different."

Mr. Eldridge's clan member who joined him while knocking Conn over the injured chest armor of the custom aircraft...... that's what Faye said.

"The colors are different, and, uh, something different?

"Desert specifications. Covered to prevent dust from penetrating the joints, it increases the airtightness of the fuselage to accommodate air drying and low temperatures at night, and is equipped with hover running instead of roller dashes. Overall, it cost more money than normal. That's why it helps us."

"Sounds familiar, owner!

"I will look down on the prey. That's all."

"Nevertheless, how did they make the modifications so far? These are the soldiers who ran away from the country, right?

"Not enough premise, Niara."

Mr. Eldridge shook his head slowly at Mr. Niara's words.

"They're fugitives, but before that, the former First Armor Battalion. With the exception of the Special Agents, whose performance and settings are exceptional, they are the most elite troops in the Empire. They were the ones who handled, serviced and remodeled Maggie from the beginning. As for power suits and tanks, they are more than specialists. If they did, they'd be able to modify the [Marshall II] they brought out to suit the environment."

"... I see"

"I'm also the one who feels troubled if Greater Big Pocket doesn't get through. You can't even target a pilot in Greater Takeover if you don't smack your armor like this."

That's what Mr. Eldridge said, touching the chest armor of the custom machine just like Faye......

"... by the way, Hugo. Is this wound in the fight?

He pointed at the crackling wound and asked me that.

"Yes, with this blade"

"Did the other pilot freeze after or before this wound?

"Huh? After... it should have been"

"Right...... I want to ask you another question. I'm involved in your information, okay?

Asked, looking back at Cuco...... she nodded.

"Yes."

"What about Cuco's TYPE (...)?

TYPE?

"Now Maiden with Advance, but..."

"It's not a hybrid with the territory, is it?

"Yes."

Even the clan often said, 'It's a skill like territory,' but only the Chariots line, except that Cuco is Maiden.

"So that's why it didn't work until this happens (...)"

"You know why?

"Oh, if the territory isn't mixed up"

"What's that?

Is it so important to see if the territory is mixed?

"Law (...) and Influence (...). Frozen space and weapon to freeze. Or freezers and liquid nitrogen."

"Huh?"

"The results are the same. But they can be different. And then you can think for yourself."

That's what Mr. Eldridge says, and he starts flirting with his suspended custom aircraft.

"Rather than using skills clutteringly, it is also important to verify the effectiveness and grasp the details. That would be the frontier between the first and second tiers."

"Owner, say something good!

"... you use your skills most clutteringly in our clan. You say?

"That's the fay look, and I guess that's why Shifus Geschpenst's ability traits are oh.... Okay."

While we were talking, Mr. Eldridge removed some parts from the custom machine… parts used to combat theft.

"Can I have this guy instead of tuition?

"Oh, yes."

"Thank you"

And Mr. Eldridge waved his arm and robbed a custom machine, beating him to the item box.

"Well, there won't be any more enemies on the commercial block. Should we head to the guest room next?

"Ah! That's right! Forget it!

To Mr. Eldridge's words, Faye raised his voice in haste.

"Earlier there was a golden, big, strong looking MaginGear running! I know which way he went because I'm letting him tail me on the trumpet!

Gold and large......?

It's like a special machine made before by the Triangle of Wisdom...

"Where are you now?

"Er... over there!

Faye closed her eyes and put her finger on the comet for a while to concentrate before pointing down diagonally.

That direction…….

"... power block?

"If you're not disembarking, don't be. And guess what, the fuselage would be the head of the Orthodox government. I've heard you flag such a looking airframe."

"Are you on your way, owner?

"... I just want to rendezvous with Manigold if possible. There would certainly be anti-theft measures in place. I can't help it."

I nod to that opinion, too.

Like the previous custom machine, some factors may make Hell Gate difficult to work with.

"Now that we've ejected the fuselage that was jamming communications, can't we get in touch?

"I'll try"

Let Mr. Manigold activate the comms that were deposited with him and get in touch.

Then there was an immediate response.

"Is that Hugo?

There's not much noise, and it looks like it's connected.

"Yes, we defeated the airframe that caused the communication jam on the commercial block. We also received information from Mr. Eldridge's clan members that the head of the Orthodox government was headed to the power block."

'Well, I see... This one recaptured the bridge. The ship's crew is safe. But the power furnace was stopped and is now running with residual magic. Not far away, the ship stops.'

"... you mean the Orthodox government shut down the power reactor?

'It's natural to think so... but I'm just curious about the fast stop process'

'It's like, you knew how to stop it, right?

... Indeed.

'Well, I understand the situation. I'll be there too...... what?

It was then.

From across the comms, you can hear the confusion of many people.

And I heard a slight explosion, and then I heard a louder explosion directly in my ear without a second difference...

"Is this...!?

"Escort the best ship, sink!

"Ship number two is also hit!

The comms will hear a status report that would belong to the bridge staff.

A frigate would mean a ship that was hitting a monster or other alert around the [Eltram].

'... foreword withdrawn. I don't think I can go that way. Deal with me in Hugo and Eldridge.'

"Mr. Manigold?

Outside the ship, which cannot be seen from the commercial block, what is happening?

We don't know.

But......

"Ship number two, the damage has increased... Boom!

"Ship number three is also hit!

"Four o'clock, unidentified reaction fast approaching from the other side of the horizon!

a predicament transmitted via a communication machine;

"- It's a dragon! The machine dragon (...) fired on the frigate...!?

The word... was rewarding the spike in the situation.

To be continued
