[Bags]

I was asleep at a loud volume with an alarm sound. Bagus! Oh, how lucky I am ...

A week ago, I had just commanded a fleet of Tau Vegas two-star fleets, but I have no luck to encounter Bagus.

(Theo, number and distance?)

[One fleet. Sixteen BG-I cruisers. Distance, about 30,000 light seconds]

Oh, it was not the worst yet.

(Notified all ships, first alert)

With this one fleet alone, a branch fleet under my command could be managed.

The division consists of only three satellite-class destroyers, apart from my star-class heavy cruiser [Theo]. A split fleet is just a squadron of names.

(Call the U.S. Colonel, Governor of the Colony, U.S.

In a hurry, he changed into a uniform and waited frustrated, and a governor with a sleepy face appeared. The governor is a colonial star governor with a population of 20,000. Probably a politician who has been beaten by a political conflict within the Adele government.

"Who is it? What time do you think it is now?"

"I'm Lt. Commander Iris Konrad, commander of a fleet in the squadron. Bagus has appeared."

"Nah, what!? ... Why? I haven't seen it before! Is it true?"

"No doubt, start evacuation of residents immediately. In this case, emergency evacuation plan C would be the most suitable."

"It's C! Isn't it the immediate destruction of the colonial star! No, it's no good. It's finally starting to make a profit. Years, no, if it's bad, it will take longer. ''

"I can't come back while you're alive after the bugs appear."

This colonial star is just a colonial star with scarce resources. There is no way to make a profit worth the defense costs of having a regular fleet stationed. Perhaps the colonization plan will be frozen for decades.

"Lt. Col., do something with your fleet!"

Is the governor confused? Why don't you understand this situation? No more wasting time. If it is impossible to distinguish between a regular fleet and a split fleet consisting of one heavy cruiser and three destroyers, it would be a waste of time to explain.

"Governor, I, as the Commander-in-Chief of this system, urge the implementation of Emergency Evacuation Plan C in accordance with Article 8, Paragraph A of the Imperial Army Code."

"Did you not hear me? In the fleet, I was telling Bags to do something."

"I acknowledge that your request has been denied, are you sure?"

"It's terrible!

Probably not confused, just sick. Why can such a poor man be governor? … It may be that the reign of the empire has finally faded.

"Then I will issue martial law on the entire Tau Vegas 2 system."

"Nah, what !? I can't afford to do that!"

(What's the name of the Colonial Athena system?)

[Vegas]

"Vegas, were you listening?"

"of course"

"You have come under my command"

"Yes, I confirmed."

"Temporarily suspend the authority of His Excellency Cheetos. Implement Emergency Evacuation Plan C and immediately evacuate residents."

"OK"

"When evacuation of residents is completed, destroy everything according to the regulations."

"OK"

I cut off communication ignoring the cheetos' noise. Wrap the VR terminal around your neck.

(Theo, captains?)

[Waiting]

The next moment, I was sitting on top of a virtual world strategy room.

"Do you know the situation?"

The three captains nodded.

"I have to deal with this Bagus fleet for the time being."

"But just four boats can do it?"

"I have no choice but to do something right away."

""Roger that""

He returned instantly to the real world.

Quickly leave the captain's cabin and run to the bridge. When we arrived at the bridge, the bridge crews were already seated. I also sat in the captain ’s seat and immediately issued a command.

"Immediate advance in the first standard formation for the Bagus fleet, maximum speed"

"Okay. First standard formation, maximum battle speed. We will be engaged after about 50 minutes."

(Theo, isn't there a good strategy?)

[Tactical Sigma One, whose captain was being researched, might be good, given his opponent's strength and speed]

The sigma one is a fleet maneuver that focuses on the opponent and attacks it from a medium range while orbiting around the opponent at high speed. Certainly, the firepower of the heavy cruiser [Theo] far exceeds that of Bagus' BG-I cruiser, and even the satellite class has not lost. It is mobility that is superior to Bagus who excels in overall firepower. I could go.

It is time to engage the Bagus fleet.

"Slave the tactics of all ships to [Theo] with my authority."

"Done"

"Tactical Sigma One, Execution"

"I will do it"

There is not much human turn in fleet battles. Controlling the firing and maneuvering of all firearms was instantaneous, leaving little room for human intervention. It is almost a battle between this AI and Bagus' AI just by instructing the policies and goals by chance.

Of course, AI on the human side has better performance, so in that sense it is more advantageous, but the Bagus fleet has three times the number of ships in terms of the number of ships. I couldn't be alert for a moment.

This branch fleet moves around the Bagus fleet at high speed and fiddles.

"One ship destroyed"

"Oh!"

"Two ships destroyed"

"Oh!"

Tactical Sigma One seems to be effective in this operation. Slaughter the Bagus cruiser one after another.

"The Bagus fleet, three more ... No, all ships have been destroyed."

"Oh!" "I'm done!"

"Immediately return to orbit of Colonial Athena and assist in evacuation. First cruise speed."

"OK"

The bridge crew looks at me with respect, but I'm not doing anything. I studied tactics, but [Theo] did it, and I saw it just like everyone else.

The colonial ship used when people came to the system was used as the space station for the colonial star. However, it has not been so long since the colonization, so cold sleep and hyperspace navigation were still available and could be used as evacuation vessels.

However, as the population has grown since colonization, the increase may need to be shared among three satellite-class destroyers.

Pistons were transported by a large shuttle with only three aircraft, and the residents of the colonial star Athena were raised one after another in orbit.

A week later, transportation has gone smoothly and more than 20,000 people are already in orbit. The boarding of the colonial ship has also been completed, and there is some room so that you can leave with a few people on the last shuttle. However, it was unlikely that the colony would be able to accommodate the ship alone, and that it would have to be split into a fleet of destroyers.

[Bags]

(Oh ... composition and position?)

[BG-II cruiser, 16 ships. Distance, about 40,000 light seconds]

Oh, it was just a little bit more time ... One star-class heavy cruiser can't compete with 16 BG-IIs larger than the BG-I. The BG-II cruiser has better firepower and mobility than this satellite class destroyer. The situation does not change much if we fight with three ships in the division. Ah, at least there's only two more to go if there's a star class ...

What to do Now, when the three shuttles descending on the planet return, all people have been withdrawn.

(Theo, how long is the time required for all people to evacuate and transition to hyperspace navigation?)

[One hour and thirty-two minutes left]

so much! ?

More than six hundred people will board the three shuttles. Six hundred people ...

On the planet, people were on the shuttle in a hurry. Check the situation on the video. There were many young children in the queue waiting to board.

First, let's leave the colonial ship first. There are few merit to keep. He immediately instructed that.

Those who get into orbit with three shuttles have no choice but to share the three destroyers.

(Theo, can the shuttles be shared among the three destroyers?)

[Is possible]

(Furthermore, how to split the crew of this ship?)

[No problem]

(Call the captains to the meeting)

Captains appeared one after another as I waited in the virtual world's operation room.

"I'll make time on my theo. Wait for the shuttle to arrive and let the people hop on to the Dachs Air Force Base. Oh, and let the crew of my ship hop on."

"Such! We will fight!"

Other captains seem to agree.

"The situation doesn't change much with the addition of three satellite-class ships. I'm the commander of this squadron. Follow me. If my time hunting fails, leave immediately without waiting for the shuttle to arrive. That, Captain Carth, junior commander, make sure you're in command.

"…… OK"

"So, for a short time, it was nice to work with everyone. Good luck to everyone."

`` 'Commander's luck' ''

Returned to the real world captain's seat.

We know, of course, that the action military personnel should take in this situation is to forsake the people coming up on the shuttle and withdraw immediately.

But I couldn't. I am disqualified from military service. At the very least, I'll pay for it myself.

"All members, leave. Start evacuating to consort."

"Captain !?"

"This is an order, deputy director"

"However!"

"I'll try to earn some time. Please, Sala. Listen."

"... Okay, Iris. All members! Departure!"

Bridge crews salute one after another and leave. I also replied and parted.

"Bad, I'll get you going. Theo."

"Okay, I'll get along. Captain."

"Declare a first-class emergency. Theo, ignore all regulations and take full control of the ship's entire system."

"accomplished"

This allows me to maneuver to some extent. All crew split off the landing craft and liaisons and left the ship. Of course, the battle bots on board the landing craft are left on the ship.

"Then, let's go to the Bagus fleet at maximum speed. I'll leave all control of the ship."

"Roger that"

The Bagus fleet is on alert, or sailing slower than usual. This is convenient.

You're about to engage the Bagus fleet soon.

"Tactical Sigma One, Execution"

"Roger that"

Around the Bagus fleet, attack at medium range. As expected, the BG-II cruiser is different from the BG-I. Not easy.

"Destroy one ship. Bagus fleet attack is unusual.

After all! As I expected. I thought that if I went by one ship, I would surely do this. What Bugs wants most is human technology. You want to get this ship without breaking it. Of course, even if this ship were destroyed, it would not be possible for Bagus to get it. At the moment of the wreck, Theo will completely self-destruct according to regulations.

If you want to reduce the number of opponents in this situation ...

After five more were destroyed, the attack pattern changed. No more damage will be forgiven. Up to here?

"Prefer avoidance over attack"

"Roger that"

"How much time do you need?"

"The shuttle is arriving and we are about to begin transfer. It takes an estimated 36 minutes to transition to hyperspace navigation."

Oh, is there still more than 30 minutes? It has come very close to Colonial Star. How long can I keep this state?

He managed to destroy one more ship while prioritizing evasion. There are only nine remaining. If you proceed, the constable ship in orbit of Colonial Athena will be in range within five minutes. But the time needed is 25 minutes.

"Can a small explosion occur near the engine section?"

"Is possible"

"Then, once in a good place to separate the attack from Bagus, it escapes out of range, drifts after exploding, and of course, unshielding."

"Captain? Are you sure?"

"There's no other way to get more attention."

"I see. I'll do it."

This is one or eight bets. I could only think about this.

After surviving a series of attacks by the Bagus fleet, he made a sharp turn and reached maximum speed. After gaining distance, vibrations were transmitted to the hull. Theo probably exploded near the engine section. How did Bagus react?

Hooray! I've eaten! Nine ships have been deployed to surround Theo. Oh, this is fine. Most feared was that they divided the fleet. He really wants human technology.

"Activate the combat bot and the general-purpose bot to help protect the passage following the bridge."

"Roger that"

Eliminating bots without destroying the ship will be a challenge.

"If Bagus tried to take something out or access the system, he would immediately defeat himself."

"OK"

"Is it possible to jam Bagus's communication? Don't let any information leak out of this ship. You can always kill yourself at your discretion."

"I understand"

Bagus attached three ships to Theo, stretching them like a passage. Defeats the armor of the ship and invades immediately. It's quite clever. Perhaps he was planning an operation aiming for such an opportunity.

The battle bot and the general-purpose bot waiting in the passage were immediately engaged. Another 15 minutes.

The Baggs do not seem afraid of damage. One after another, they send armored insect soldiers from the access road and engage in battle bots. Combat bots are starting to suffer. And enough.

Bagus finally arrived before the bridge. Immediately, the armor of the sliding door is broken. Oh, is this the human enemy, Bags? This is the first time I have seen anything other than a specimen. Six more minutes.

Beetle type II which is in the basic category. It is a terrible figure covered with rough hair and outer shell. The whole body is greasy and greasy. And this smell! I feel sick.

They have swarmed into the bridge. She seems to be talking about something, but of course not sure. Then he started operating a portable device like a small box.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

Bagus spoke! No, not the Bags but the voice from the mobile device, but I spoke.

(What's the matter? Why Bagus speaks?)

[Guess, the rumors of the example would be true]

Example rumors? Oh, rumors of that ... It is rumored that a considerable number of humans are being taken away by Bagus. The rumor stems from the incompatibility between the number of dead bodies and the number of corpses in the attacked colony. According to the rumors, aren't the human beings bred like livestock and rising up to Bagus's table as high-end ingredients? It was said. It was true ... Oh, I just don't want to walk that life ...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

Is this a translator? I want you to give up the system. I talked again about what made him numb.

"no"

"Don't bother, let go. Otherwise, you'll fall."

"Please kill me"

Bags seem to be confused by the simple killing. It's a little, and it's a little May fly.

"I'll do it, I'll give it away. Otherwise I'll eat it."

Why your arm? Oh, are you threatened? Do you think I am not self-destructing for my own protection? Ah, this Bugs stupidity is a blessing to humanity. If we were smarter we wouldn't know what was going on.

"No, don't eat"

I didn't know Bagus's feelings, but he was shaking his body. I'm sure you'll be happy.

"No, I'm going to eat.

"The system will not surrender, but do not eat"

"I'm going to eat.

"The system will not surrender, but do not eat"

He seems to have noticed that he has been foolish. I grabbed my arm and began to bite from the tip of my finger. I scream. One minute left.

… Four, three, two, one. I stopped screaming. Of course, it doesn't hurt or itch from the beginning because Nanom cuts the sense of arms.

(What is the time to criticality of the reactor?)

[Of course, it doesn't matter, but if you want it, you can get the maximum effect if you can get 3 more minutes.]

so. Let's finish the handover.

"Captain Curse"

The screen shows Captain Curse sitting in the destroyer's captain's seat. Next to the captain is Deputy Commander Sala. Sala was crying. She may have been too stimulating.

All ships should be aware of the ship's status, as it is monitored by all ships.

Bags and others are surprised at the sudden start of the screen, and they are fleeing and may fly. Bagus, who was biting my arm, was finally released.

"Captain Carth will delegate command of your fleet to you."

"… OK"

"Sara, how are you?"

"Wow ... Captain!"

Sarah was a friend she had been with since I was the destroyer captain.

"Captain Curse, I'm sorry but I'd like to send you a personal letter, are you okay?"

"Of course. There is no problem because you can always switch to hyperspace navigation."

"I'll send it later."

Communication ended. The Baggs seem to be talking about something, if they don't know the situation.

"Teo, this isn't that big of a figure, so make it in plain clothes and make it look like you're in the captain's room. Of course the noise is cut."

My left arm was eaten up to the elbow. Such a figure cannot be shown to the family.

"I understand. Please."

"Selina, Sharon. How are you! The picture you sent me during this time! I was really good at drawing! Mom, I was surprised! Aaron, you two, please answer me, I love you ... ......

The Baggs are looking here, as if they had been taken away. She suddenly smiled and started waving at Bagus, so she seemed surprised. What do you mean to take a holo video to your family while dozens of Bagus watches? I don't know what's in my life.

"Reactor has reached criticality"

"Yes. Teo, I took care of everything."

"No, I was honored to serve the captain."

Overlooking the Bagus. Of course, he doesn't seem to know the situation. Well, thank you for letting me shoot the video without disturbing you.

"Well, you guys! Let's meet in hell!

The explosion destroyed five of the nine Bagus fleets. The four distant vessels were also severely damaged and destroyed by three revengeful satellite-class destroyers.

The Imperial Command, in honor of Lt. Col. Iris Konrad's heroic behavior, was promoted to a second-class brigadier general.

Also, when the last video of the brigadier general leaked from the imperial army's data bank that never leaked, it spread immediately throughout the galaxy and reverberated, and the brigadier general was sent the highest order, the Galactic Grand Cross Order. I was able to.

In response, it was decided that Brigadier General Iris Konrad could be named after the Galaxy-class dreadnoughts under construction.
