The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

The people of heaven think that the top of the Apollo Empire is the Grand Duke of Targia, now that the Empress is dead.

Though confused by the appearance of the Imperial Sear Eyetria, the leader recognizes that he is the Grand Duke of his brother.

Behind them was the House of Lords of the Elderly, which ruled the Empire in substance, but the people did not doubt that the Grand Duke of Talguia was the leader.

The Grand Duke formed an army to crush the forces of darkness. This is a way to deceive the House of Lords and to destroy the Emperor's power outside the island.... the Grand Duke, who oversees the forces of darkness, is using this as an opportunity to abolish the House of Lords and become the ruler of Apollo and the world with fame.

I think it was quite a trick, but perhaps the Grand Duke had a reason to do so. I don't know what that is.

Nonsense.

The Dark Force Crusaders are a distraction to the elders of the House of Lords, while the White Elf Fugitive Fleet is an undesirable presence for Talgear. As long as the problematic sea eye trials are merging, they can never be ignored.

The Grand Duke therefore ordered the pursuit and destruction of a fleet of fugitives, using part of the fleet separately from the crusaders.

... well, I won't let that happen.

A pursuit squadron airship overhead. I looked up at it from Tyrant's cockpit.

Western fleet Battleship 1 and Cruiser 4 turn to the engine nozzle defenselessly without noticing the ambush forces lurking on the ground.

"Unlock the shielding for each machine!

Magus machines assimilated to the ground with magic camouflage appear one after another. Nim and Karen, Elf Ridara Glass Modifications, Children's Ridara Golm Modifications, and Shea Lava Modifications have prepared for this attack.

The weapon is a modified Hevy Plasmarancher - an anti-ship attack weapon carried by AS Bechmos. I've made the anti-ship plasma cannon AS-sized, but it's powerful with origami.

However, what Behemoth held with one arm under the premise of heavy equipment has become a kind of large weapon like a cannon with both hands in a Magus machine.

Thank you, Deacy, for learning enough to recreate the weapons of the old times.

"Aim for the enemy ship's engines! Shoot!"

Ten blue flares burst, directly hitting the back of the enemy ship and its vulnerable engine nozzle. Soon the ship's hull will be shaken by vibrations and explosions, slowly lowering altitude.

We won't be able to pursue the fleet now.

"All right, pull it out!

We need to evacuate before the Interceptors come out.... I don't want the kids to be too hard on me.

Santon is still new to my memory.

We beat up the pursuers and returned to the fleet. No damage! I always want this.

When I landed the aircraft on the flagship Andrea, I saw the Black Knight Ridara Dub and SS Ridara Garda parked in the hangar.

Jin!

Goldine, the SS captain, welcomed me.

"Thank you very much. How'd it go?

The pursuers won't be able to move for a while.

I answered indifferently.

"I think there are some big turns here."

"You want to join the perimeter fleet?

"We have a target for the Enemy."

It's a process of killing the peripheral fleet, not the fugitive fleet.

"It's my belly to slap the peripheral fleet in the middle of a duel against the dark forces, but I can't let them do it."

I agree with that.

Goldin nodded.

"But I still can't believe it. The Grand Duke was connected to the forces of darkness."

"It's the darkness of the Apollo Empire. You've seen the sealing order."

I said that ironically. The other day, I got a confidential order I showed the Golden Empire executives.

"Few Apollo soldiers think the forces of darkness are on their side."

I'll break the deal.

"I think it's the only way to save the perimeter fleet."

"... hmm"

"And the forces of darkness must be fought. It's troublesome to do this at the same time."

"I just need to narrow it down to one of them...."

That's what I said, Goldine, but I shrug my shoulders.

"The idea that the Crusaders will fight the forces of darkness is not next if we miss this one. If we do not strike the dark forces before the Grand Duke has full control of Apollo's floating island, the rebels' enemies will double."

Both the Grand Duke's Apollo Army and the Dark Force Army are opposed. Then the rebels will have little chance of winning.

And the White Knight and Black Knight were excavated in the same place as the rebels in the old days. In history, the White Knight must survive the battle against the forces of darkness. White Knight Dini Agnos Ridara Byrne in the peripheral fleet needs to be rescued at all costs.

"If we destroy the forces of darkness, it will be a battle to liberate the Grand Duke's ruled Apollo."

"Hmm. We must recapture the island from him and allow our Empress Valisa to triumph."

Goltine nodded with a rough nose. That's right, Emperor, you don't blur.

"Rendezvous the fleet to form the backbone of the rebels. And what we need is a base where we can replenish."

It's a headache.

The SS captain frowned. Even though it's strict, I only look angry when I look at you like that.

"With the exception of Apollo Floating Island, it is a base on the ground, but the only places where fleet size can be stationed are the home of the fleet in each direction."

"And on the other hand, the fleet base is breathing the Grand Duke."

Even if somewhere else had taken over the fleet base, Agio, a continental exterminator on Floating Island One of Apollo, would have blown up each base in one blow.

"So I'm thinking of building a secret base."

"Secret base?

"Yes, the candidate has already been decided. Then we can build a secret underground base that can hold the fleet."

"It's easy for me to say....."

Goldin is skeptical.

"It will be months of work to raise Apollo's total strength, including a base to house the fleet. Use a lot of people and materials. The crew of this fleet, even if they get the materials from somewhere, it's impossible to build a base without the enemy noticing."

"Well, normally. But you're lucky. [M] There are people here who have experience in building bases."

Time is no problem when it comes to the hands of an architectural cheat called Dungeon Master.

... but I have a job in the Dark Force Crusaders, so there's no time to lose.

While I'm in the Amiwool squad, I might die of overwork if I don't rest in my room except for a meeting.
