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

The number of aircraft carriers in our Willidis Fleet/Allied Elf Fleet is 16.

The Great Empire scouts have identified six of our carriers.

However, in fact, there was one aircraft carrier in the elf fleet, but I don't think it looked like an aircraft carrier and was recognized.

Apart from this, Stealth's aircraft carrier, Tutsha, acted differently from the main unit, and there was a fleet of aircraft carriers under Arlie's command in the airspace further away from the Elf's village.

From the beginning, the number of aircraft carriers and their number of onboard aircraft exceeded that of the Great Empire.

The 3rd Fleet carrier I ordered set off the waiting fleet.

The First Air Corps consists of an Argus-class armoured aircraft carrier, Argus, and a battle-fighting Aurora Class Aircraft carrier, Aurora.

The Second Air Corps consists of three Seoul-class aircraft carriers, "Hiryu", "Soryu" and "Unryu", which are general-purpose aircraft carriers with an emphasis on mass production.

The 3rd Air Corps has three Intrepid-class large aircraft carriers with the onboard capabilities of Willidis I, "Intrepid," "Dauntless," and "Enterprise."

Fighters flew one after the other from the flight deck of these eight aircraft carriers, or from the side gates of the hangar.

The first group fired was 400 aircraft.This is still less than half the number of ships in the third fleet.

These planes are headed for the Elves, but the armored carrier of the Third Fleet, Argus, has two portal ships.With this, it had nothing to do with the distance.

The 3rd Fleet, via the portal, will join me in the 2nd Fleet.We formed a formation of fighter aircraft from the 3rd Aircraft carrier "Lentus", "Fortus" and "Liebertas" of our 5th Air Corps to intercept the Imperial Air Force.

Well, I was on the flagship Diamante, watching the tactical monitor.The observation pods and reconnaissance information are updated in real time so you can see both movements in hand.

Interceptors, engage.

Diamante, the flagship core, reported.

The Tactical Monitor is enlarged and the red dots on the enemy side disappear one after the other.

"First, a pre-emptive missile attack..."

Preemptive punch with a long-range guidance weapon.If the enemy does not have anti-missile equipment, this is a very effective attack.

Less than a minute after the start of the engagement, the reaction of the Imperial planes disappeared considerably.Looks like a huge herd of fish is eating from the edge.

They were divided into scattering airframes, formation that continued to advance regardless, and formation that tried to manoeuvre once to detour.

"It was the fighters that scattered.It's probably an attack plane that keeps coming in. "

When I murmured, Diamante agreed.

"Yes, I can identify enemy models. I'll put it on the monitor."

Two types of enemy airframes were displayed.

It is a familiar LaRoth fighter aircraft of the age of magical civilization and an attack aircraft in the form of a dragonfly.

"... he's a new face."

According to Shapeshifter Intelligence reports, this dragonfly is an attack plane called Riverli.

They're slower than fighters and less armored, but they're equipped with anti-ship guns called plasma magic bullets.It is not a guiding weapon, but it is powerful and has the same Attack as a Cruiser Class main gun.

Willidis vessels have defensive shields, so they will be able to withstand one or two shots, but if they take more in a row, it is expected that medium and small vessels will penetrate the shield.

"Well, it's going to be hard to get to the fleet."

I took a gentle breath.

Willidis aircraft entering melee combat from a missile attack.We can't even keep our distance as long as we're holding our defenses behind the Elves' backs.The distance will shrink... but you won't have to worry.



The command tower of the second fleet of the Great Empire, the flagship Lampos.Lieutenant General Hughes opened his eyes.

"Destroyed? Within five minutes!?"

……

The air constable is biting his lips.

An air strike on the enemy fleet by an airline that spoke so much was completely stopped by an interception by the Willidis army.

The chief of staff opened his mouth.

"What the hell is going on? Have we turned 380 and failed to reach the enemy fleet?"

"Perhaps all the hostiles coming up from the aircraft carrier were fighters."

The air staff said to squeeze it out.

"This fighter, which is supposed to prevent enemy fighters, is attacked more than twice as hard by enemies, and the attacker can be a duck in front of the fighter.As a result, I was wiped out..... "

"... that means our air power has been halved without causing any damage to our enemies?"

Fuse couldn't hide his disappointment. The air staff is in a hurry.

"No, I think I was able to inflict some Bleed on enemy fighters!Haven't done any damage at all.... "

"But is the enemy fleet intact?"

The chief of staff frowned. The air staff nodded.

"Yes, the enemy's air defense capability exceeded our expectations.But there's something I've learned. "

"What happened?"

"Enemies only carry fighters on their carriers!Our assault squad has been prevented, but instead, our enemies have no power to attack our fleet! "

If there were only "six" aircraft carriers on Willidis's side, it would be impossible to stop the 380 Imperial Air Corps without fighters.

The chief of staff put his hand on his chin.

"Does that mean the enemy can't air strike us even if they can't prevent an air strike?"

"That's right!"

The Air Staff Officer assured me that no one in the Second Fleet Command, including him, knows the exact number of actual enemy aircraft carriers.

Fighter Aircraft Specialized Aircraft carriers were merely conjectures, and Willidis Third Fleet aircrafts were loaded with on-board bombers and attackers.

"Chief of Staff, what should we do next?"

"I think we should halt the launch of the second strike squad once the air strike has failed and challenge the final battle of the fleet."

"Fleet Showdown"

Lieutenant-General Hughes nodded.

"Alright, the second fleet is now entering the Elves!Launch a fleet battle against an enemy fleet with lines of defense! "
