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

The cruiser "Onyx", which departed from the Ihar shipyard, advanced eastward.

In addition, Battleship 1, Cruiser 2, and Frigate 3, which had left the dock in the same way, gathered around [Onyx].

Captain Lungar's expression tightened.

Are these allies?

If it was all Jin Amiwool's plan, it was the Willidis army operatives who were controlling this ship.

When the shade opened its mouth, the operative sitting in the communication seat looked back.

"General, each of the ships accompanying this one has launched a Willidis Military Bulletin." All ships, friendly forces. "

Roger that.

Shade nodded.

Don't be afraid, Jin Amiwool. Not only "Onyx", but also six warships in the middle of the turmoil.

The impromptu fleet escaped the shipyard and headed for the rendezvous point with the Willidis main force. I can't confirm the pursuer at the moment.

If the Central Control has fallen into the hands of the Willidis forces, they may not have noticed that they've taken the ship yet.

If we just keep going like this...

"Captain, react to the spotting device." We have an approaching ship. "

What's your identification?

"Five heavy cruisers of the Empire National Army." 35th Ocean Squadron "

Friendly army.

It was a breathing lounger, but the shade frowned.

Captain Lunger, it's not our army.

Acting as a Willidis army, the Great Emperor's army is no ally.

"And perhaps even a unit of the military forces." The shipyard disturbances are hostile forces, and they may have come out to join the fleet. ”

That's what Shade decided. Otherwise, we would not have encountered a cruiser squadron at this time.

Do you want to order a battle position?

Engagement is inevitable if you are an enemy.

- It's not a regular crew, but can you do it?

Shade thinks. The ship we captured is carrying a Willidis military operative. At first glance, he seems to be good at controlling ships and handling machines, but I doubt that he will be able to move his first ship at will.

"... no, keep going."

Are you sure, General?

Shade nodded at Lungar's confirmation.

Capture the ship and proceed to the rendezvous point. In the meantime, Jin Amiwool will stand by for backup (Emblem) in case the enemy gets in the way.

"I believe in our Lord Jin Amiwool."

I'll keep in mind that I'm going to call you my father-in-law.

A group of heavy Emperor National Army cruisers approaching the escape fleet heading eastward from the northeast.

Shade and Lungar stare at it on the [Onyx] bridge. The messenger looks back.

Enemy fleet is calling from magic communication.

"Ignore me. Keep moving."

At least, the other side didn't judge [Onyx] as an enemy.

If they were to come out of the shipyard, they would think that the infiltrated operatives would have taken it. The only thing that doesn't answer the call is that we can't throw away the possibility of communication equipment malfunctions or agents becoming unfamiliar, and we won't be able to fire easily without clear hostile action.

It's a battleship that we think we've taken. You don't want to scratch yourself with a frivolous judgment.

However, there are limits. I can't abandon the possibility of being paralyzed by silence and going out into hard means.

--Are you going to let me shoot that thing...?

"If I could shoot my brothers and sisters," said Jin Amiwool. He said he would not do anything to prove it by shooting at his compatriots.

But isn't this being tested?

I think of a shade.

If I could, I didn't say I wouldn't let you shoot me. Belonging to the Willidis army means fighting our fellow countrymen.

Doesn't that mean you have to fight when you have to? If so, we may not have cover until Shade shoots us.

Clido, my heart beats. In that case, the [Onyx] that I had already acquired would also be allowed to attack from the approaching Cruiser Squadron.

--No, with a Diamante-class defensive shield, even a bunch of heavy cruiser cannons could withstand it...

At least Onyx would be safe if we stayed on the defensive.... but the ships we escaped with won't.

If that happens, you won't be held responsible.

"Attention, Captain, enemy artillery." If you point it at us, shields will be tightened. If the enemy attacks, it will counterattack.... even as a compatriot. "

"... yes, I understand"

Lungar nodded.

A fleet of both sides approaching further. The Great Imperial Cruiser Squadron was sidelined. The 20-centimetre magic cannon was then directed at the escape fleet.

We must be ready at last. It happened when Shade regulated her breathing.

"Radar is picking up a fast moving object! Rapid approach to the enemy cruiser squadron!”

Operative Willidis, who was in charge of spotting the enemy, reported. Shortly thereafter, a number of explosions occurred on enemy Cosanta heavy cruisers.

"Attack!?"

"Cover us."

The shades are disharmonious. After all, Jin Amiwool had lurking support troops.

- This discovery and almost simultaneous assault are the tactics of attacking a fleet of landing ships bound for the Elf's landing pad.

Gaze at the battle monitor.

According to it, a missile suddenly appeared from empty space, and it seemed to have pushed the heavy cruiser group unexpectedly.

Lungar was stunned.

"What the hell is this...?"

Is there a ship you can't see?

Shade also frowned.

There is a magic of transparency. I applied it to my ship and disappeared - I thought so, and I couldn't stop smiling.

I often think of things like transparent magic on a large object like a ship. No one thinks of making the castle transparent. Shade thought it was as eccentric a thought as that.

--That's right, the man I was told was a magician...

You can't win this.

In any case, the fleet that escaped instantly managed to leave the battlefield in the face of the sinking of the enemy cruiser fleet.

Rendezvous with the troops on standby and follow the Empire in the Great Portal.

I didn't know there was such a way out.

Shade thought he couldn't capture the rebel fleet.
