A little over an hour after the magic airship started sailing, there was a reaction from the magic passive radar.

"Koosuke-san, the passive radar has captured magical reactions other than the Dragon Cavalry in the air at ten o'clock." The magnitude of magic is about half that of Weyburn. ”

How many are there?

"Um, thirteen... no, fifteen? There was a variation in the magnitude of the magic power, and it was a little precise because of the accuracy. The distance is about 15 kilometers."

It's urgent to improve the accuracy of the magic passive radar... Darco, this is Korsuke, come in.

"Yes, Captain."

"The ship's magic passive radar captured some kind of magic response." The aerial position is around fifteen, and the magic power is about half that of Weyburn. It was thought to be a herd of flying biters. Please contact the Dragon Cavalry. "

Eye Iser

While listening to Dalco's response, control the magic tube on the bridge to broadcast the entire ship.

"I captured the thoughtful reaction of a flying biter at a position of about 15 km at ten o'clock. The number is around fifteen." All personnel, Class III Combat Arrangement "

The third type of battle arrangement is to be prepared to intercept whenever there is a notification. Specifically, people who are off duty can wear battle gear to hold their weapons and fight at any time. This refers to a state in which all combatants actually reach their station with their weapons in hand when they enter the second combat position, and a state in which they are ready to use their weapons so that they can start intercepting at any time when they enter the first combat position. That's how we're doing right now, but if something goes wrong in the future, we'll probably be able to fix it. After all, I don't have a track record of operating a magic airship, so I'm exploring everything.

What do we do?

"The decision to fight is thrown at the Mountain Kingdom of Dragonis." Awaiting judgment of nullity. "

And, a few minutes to say to Isla. Dalco contacted us.

Captain, we need to contact the enemy and confirm their cooperation.

Okay. As you can see, the Dragon Cavalry caught a swarm and the first shot was a lightning cannon.

That's what I'm telling you, Eisa.

"Altitude, speed, stay this way. Setting course for ten o'clock. All personnel, Type 2 Combat Arrangement"

"Eye Iser"

The mage who served as the helmsman answered my instructions and turned the wheel. Now, at a distance of 15 kilometers, don't engage the enemy immediately. In my case, I don't get ready to fight, I just pick a loaded weapon from a shortcut, and it ends in a flash. In a sense, it is always the first type of battle arrangement.

What about me?

"Ira is waiting here. Aira and I have a different range of response when an unexpected event occurs on the magic airship itself."

”Hmm... I can't help it”

In fact, this magic airship is like a collection of advanced magic items, so if something unexpected happens - for example, if you take damage and cause some kind of dysfunction - Isla can respond more quickly and accurately than I can. I also learned a little about magic and magic tools from Aira and Ifrita, but I'm still like an amateur of Peppa. Only from the knowledge of the earth and the knowledge of various games can we give useful advice to Islay and the others, but in terms of the depth of knowledge, it is still about the level of the toes. I haven't even been to the place where my ankle is soaked.

"Well, I have to do something else to get out." About fifteen of them would make a good opponent. "

"Hmm, that's right."

More than twenty Weyburns fought simultaneously in the Sorel Mountains. I couldn't do anything with a flying biter.

“But beware, the Flying Biter is a lesser monster than Weyburn, but not Weyburn.”

"That's true." Let's not be alarmed. "

Even if the threat level as a monster is lower than that of Weyburn, it's not necessarily easier for us, and hence for this magic airship. It's possible that our gunmen won't shoot faster than Weyburn.

"The predecessor Dragon Cavalry, the Flying Biter, and the Suspect Monster Group made contact with the enemy." They're approaching our ship. "

"All hands, first class combat deployment." Be careful not to involve the Dragon Cavalry in the thunderclap. It's more important not to accidentally fire on your allies than to involve a lot of enemies. ”

Use the magic tube to fly instructions all over the ship. Incidentally, the non-combatants were to retreat to the hull when the Type 2 combat position was issued. The martial arts officers... apparently almost all of them were fully armed and left on the deck. Well, I was riding to watch the game, so it was only natural.

"I can see it."

"Seriously? You have good eyes..."

When I heard Aira murmuring as she looked ahead, I pulled the telescope out of the inventory. It's an elongated monocular. I thought it would be better to have a fantasy atmosphere somehow. By the way, binoculars are already made with binoculars.

"Ah, yes, steering man, steering man." Point to the port side of an incoming horde of monsters. "

"Eye Iser"

The thunderclap cannon is arranged in the neck of the ship and on the left and right sides of the ship, so it has a higher firepower pointing toward either side of the ship than toward the front. Hmm, that's it. If you think about your ability to attack, you might want to line up three or four lightning cannons in the hull and increase the firepower directly in front of you. I didn't need a gunner if I had a fixed firing direction in front of me, or a loader if I wanted to supply magic power to fire from the Magic Stone Furnace. I didn't have to think about recoil, unlike a gunpowder cannon. When we get back to the country, I'll put it up for renovation.

Actually, I thought the same thing when I fought Weyburn in the Sorel Mountains. But I didn't have time to renovate it, so it was just like that. This ship is a ruinous emergency. I can't help it if there's roughness in various places. As for the placement of the cannon, I think I was too drawn by the concept of a cannon set on either side of the ship. I have to reflect on this.

We'll be closing soon.

"Beware of accidental fire on friendly forces. Permission to use all weapons."

When I get here, there's nothing more I can do. I would go out and help out when the battle on the Fine Deck was at a disadvantage. After that, Ted and Dalco take command of the battle on the scene.

GAOOOOOOOOO!

The pale light filled the port side of the magic airship along with the thunder that thundered its ears. Two port gates and a lightning cannon at the bow of the ship proved their power. I could see a lot of elongated shadows falling freely, black as a flying biter. Whether you were struck by a direct lightning strike from a lightning cannon, or you were paralyzed or stunned by sound and light until you were not struck by a direct lightning strike... Either way, if you can fall freely from this altitude and hit the ground, you won't be saved from death. As far as I could see, the Dragon Cavalry didn't suffer any damage.

The thunderclap of the thunderclap cannon was somewhat more than the sound of a silly magic gun firing, and the rest of the flying biter that was flying fluttering down the air with a bloody flower. It's smaller than Weyburn, but it's better for some of my demon musketeers because of the thunderclap. The Thunderclap cannon has a high synergy with Magic Guns, as it can temporarily steal the opponent's sight and hearing without hitting them directly.

The flying biter's magic response has been wiped out.

"Roger that, soldier. Class I combat redeployment disarmed." Wait in Class 2 combat position until the threat is cleared. "

For the time being, the first grabbing is OK. Once the Dragon Cavalry has confirmed the safety of the area, we will resume our march.
