"Ok, arrival... that's what's great about it"
One tongue-in-cheek Taro for flying massive communications and drive particle reactions. Logs of communication records have been kept up to date and drive particles have been observed everywhere in the vicinity.
"Reported by EAP1, Mr. Taylor. The enemy appears to be engaged in deceptive manipulation using overdrive space reservations."
"Sounds like it. I can see that. Hold on, I don't know what's going on with this."
What you see on the radar is a swarm of ripples, like a lake surface on a rainy day. Sometimes more than one appearance may occur behind the fleet, or space reservations may occur at very close range. I look at it and I think to Taro, "Can't you ignore it?," said Marr.
"I also feel that's the best part, but it sucks if any of this was real. It'll be a recreation of one day's retreat."
"Then just like before...... you know what? It's not like we can get away anywhere this time."
"With Soyuko. I don't know about this one, anyway, if you're going to follow me. It's easier to slip through the Alpha system than to go out of your way to fight and risk it."
Taro answers that to Marl, he will be ready to fight whenever the battle begins. An automated series of BISHOP functions are executed and in just a few seconds they are in a combatable state. I won't go like this if it's a new shipbuilding, but Plum II was a familiar ship in my hand. Optimized functions have been prepared in advance, including shipwrecks and interactions with each device.
"All right, keep rendezvous and absorb pressure, while retreating to the rear. No need to push back. All ships, attack initiated!!
Along with Taro's orders, shelling by beam begins from the fleet of RS1. Nearly 100 beam swarms, when they reach distant enemies, cause some blinking of destruction.
"Someone said it would hit a few shots. Keep each ship free to fire. Xiaomei, send me the target priority list."
"Copy that, Mr. Taylor. Data Link, Update"
"Taylor!! Some space bookings are now fixed!!
"Damn, I knew it wasn't just a blind eye"
Some of the swings on the radar screen glow strongly, which is fixed as a light point.
"... you drove a long way. What's the point?
The fixed light point was quite far away, at least not in such a place that the beam shelling would reach.
"That's only three planes, too... it's kind of creepy. Careful, Taylor."
"Oh, I know. Let's mark it and make sure you get a warning when you make a strange move...... OK"
When Taro adjusts the radar so that the target's light points glow red, he continues to make settings for a small number of enemy ships that will warp in. They are all scattered scattered over quite a long distance, but they do not show any particularly tactical behavior-like movements. Twelve aircraft seemed to have warped at the moment, but unfortunately I didn't know their intentions.
"Mr. Taylor, we've observed a massive fleet drive-in at the front back distance. It's over a hundred, probably the enemy's main unit."
Turn your face closer to the monitor for unexpected enemy movements. The formation of the enemy was as long as an arrow heading this way, and this one waiting was in a very favorable shape. The enemy can only take part in an attack by a few ships carrying out battle, but most of these ships can be fired upon.
"You failed Link Warp? You don't know how the enemy moves very well. As I said earlier, there's no need to push me back... Hmm..."
Taro with a smaller end to the expansion that can be read from the radar screen.
"You're pushing..."
"You're pushing..."
The fierce shelling of allies has concentrated on ships coming at the head of the enemy, causing numerous damage. The enemy comes forward foolishly and straight, but appears to be attacking a concentrated firepower.
"This is communication from EAP1, Mr. Taylor. Change the plan of operations to plan D."
"Plan D - and aggressive interception? He said he was coming over?
"Looks like it. EAP 1 and 2 are ready for the drive. Looks like they're putting EAP3 on standby at its original base."
"I know it's a battlefield... isn't that crazy?
Twist your neck and think about Taro.
The enemy Expeditionary Army should be the fleet that has always fought on the front lines since the full-scale battle began. Overall, they were supposed to have veterans who had won more than the same number of EAP fleets at times. Would such a veteran ever disrupt the fleet with a warp failure? Not to mention with a large number of electronic warplanes that can be used to deceive space reservations.
"... will you contact Sakura?
"Wait a minute... we're connected"
As Marl said, Sakura's appearance on the monitor.
"" Hey son-in-law. How's it going over there? I hear you've got an enemy? ""
Sakura with a slight but somewhat drawn grin. It could be an indication of her trying to be grand as a commander.
"Hey Sakura. I'll tell you as many times as I can, I don't know what I can do about that son-in-law... well, leave that alone. It's your fleet, but could you wait there with EAP3?
"" Hmm? Lord Lin told me that the front line has become favorable? ""
"That's true... there's no excuse for that. I feel like I'm going to do something about it, so if I can, I want to split the fleet."
"" I see... All right, let's do that. I'll report it to Lynn from here, but can I just say it directly to you? I'm sure Lynn would listen honestly. ""
"No, maybe Lynn will agree, but the surroundings aren't. I don't know where the horse bones are. I'm more certain Sakura said it than the man suggested it."
"" Right. Hmm, this is still a heavy town for EAP. Leave it to me. ""
Sakura stretches her chest like she's good at something. Taro turns his gaze back to the radar screen when he finishes communicating with her with a bitter laugh.
"Now there's nothing. - After the war, it's a neck job."
"If there's a good reason, there won't be a problem, Mr. Taylor. Besides, if we lose, we won't even have to go to the headstand."
"Hehe, you saved me a lot of trouble. All right, looks like EAP2 interrupted the jump. You think I'm gonna do my best over here?"
Battleship Inferno bridge. When Lorenzo stirred the cup with his trembling hands, he concentrated on the strong alcoholic sensation that burned his stomach. I am not willing to expose myself to the ugliness of drinking too much and getting drunk going, etc., but I needed to do something about the intolerable tension. Defeat as it stands is directly linked to death.
"What's happening with the deployment of the Sunflower Squad"
"Yes, as it stands, about 50% of the deployment is closed"
"How did the enemy notice you?"
"No, he looks alert, but especially the movements that were his eyes. Ah."
Lorenzo looks sharply at the voice of his men who have returned the report.
"It appears that enemy fleet number two has stopped the drive. Space Reservation, Opened"
For just a few moments, Lorenzo opens his eyes. When he smashed his tongue small, he shifted his eyes to a tactical screen composed of holographies.
"Was that a little too blatant? No, let's just say the main enemy fleet is coming."
When Lorenzo said that to comfort himself, he thought of the fleet, which continued to grow over time. They were a complete sacrifice for the operation, and they could not lose for them.
"... you're brilliant with your enemies. Especially this one. Did I mention Rising Sun?
Lorenzo looks at the fleet labeled 'RS1' that shows brilliant manoeuvre on the tactical screen and narrows his eyes. If there must have been a previous report, search the data bank on BISHOP.
"I see. This is the example............... any sign of exposure to live ammunition weapons or unidentified attacks?
"No, there are no such reports at the moment."
"Hmm. Is it warm?
Lorenzo arms together and shakes his legs saggily. I didn't think just one battleship could do this, but it can produce unexpected results. What if they drop the flagship on a special attack? What if only electronic warplanes are attacked intensively? And most importantly...
"It's not good when you're headed to the Sunflower Squad...... increase the pressure!! But never let them retreat!!
Having determined that RS1 needs to be placed centrally, Lorenzo uses his own voice and BISHOP to fly instructions to the fleet. His fleet receives directives and pushes the front line with some more vigour than earlier.
"Enemy EAP1 drives in. They think the front line will collapse in no time."
Lorenzo nods silently to reports from his men. More than 30 ships have already been damaged, half of which have been subject to sinking determination. Cold sweat flowed through the damage, which was never less, but it was also within the scope of prior assumptions. But if the front line collapses, the enemy fleet will be killed in pursuit of this main fleet, which is still scattered without formation. If that happens, the damage will be enough to make you hate to imagine it.
"Sunflower Squad deployments yet!!
"70% are currently completing the deployment!!
"Hurry up!! It can't be too late!!
The war situation had largely shifted as he read, but it was unexpected that the enemy main fleet would come to the front line so quickly. All the maneuvers I've thought about to attract the fleet have been wasted, and it seemed difficult to adequately prepare for a special blow.
"Sunflower unit, 80% of deployments are over"
"B Fleet, Battleship Littorio is judged to be broken!!
"The enemy main fleet is breaking through the center. Frontline collapses!!
Lorenzo manages to contain the urge to scratch his head to report one negative pour after another.
"What to do... What to do..."
When Lorenzo presses his chest, he looks out for one function that rises on BISHOP. The Sunflower unit has not yet been able to deploy sufficiently, and we do not know if it can be as powerful as envisaged.
"Battleship Littorio, sunk!! Central, the enemy is creeping in!!
"... Damn, I can't help it!! Operation Drive Storm, activate it!!
