The True Empire fleet is approaching. It seemed like a flock of fish, and it was clearly different from the orderly attack so far.

On the command bridge of the second Fleet flagship of the Kingdom of Verrillard, Duke Jarjee, the Duke of Jarjee sees the incoming enemy fleet head-on.

"Incoming call from 1st fleet" King Emman ". The first fleet is firing from the side of the enemy fleet. The second fleet was attacked at its own discretion, and that's it!"

Jarzy nodded at the report of the correspondence seat.

"Roger that," he replied. - Captain, let's go. "

"Yes, my lord. All ships ready for artillery and missile battles!" Objective, enemy fleet at the front! ”

The enemy is deploying a barrier crystal defense.

Chief of Staff Urbork spoke.

"Until the enemy fires, attack with anti-boundary missiles." If the enemy fights back, we can use the artillery to fight them back! "

Hmm. - Did you hear that, Captain?

Jarzee is uncomfortable with what the side general says. The method of warfare using barrier crystal defense has changed dramatically recently.

The Verrillard Kingdom has information about it, but Jarzi has learned it well. And General Ulbork came back to me with an admonition.... the next king, the duke, is going to love a talented man.

The True Great Imperial Fleet is getting closer and closer. I didn't change my formation during this period. Is this a new formation or a new tactic in itself?

According to the hostile ship's identification data, it appears to be a recently confirmed new vessel, a modified version of it. I don't have any details, but I don't think it's much different from the base ship.

--I 've got a bad feeling...

This is a distinctly different fleet operation from the Great Empire fleet so far. Are you going to deploy your barrier crystal defenses to launch melee and melee artillery battles? Or is it equipped with some kind of new weapon?

Sir, we're ready to attack!

The captain turned around and asked for instructions. Jarzy raised her arms and knocked her head down.

Alright, attack!

"Anti-junction missile, launch!"

Hey!

Anti-ship missiles were launched one after the other from the neck missile tube of the flagship Duke Jargon.

The Yamato class, Kii class, and cruiser ships also launched missile attacks. The missiles were attacked in sequence from the incoming ships in front of the True Great Imperial Fleet.

Special metal warhead missiles passing through the barrier crystal defense membrane hit the hull of the Great Imperial ship, causing it to spark red.

The tactical monitor also shows the missiles hitting. One by one, the enemy cruiser's response disappears. The view of the bridge window also revealed a flicker of smoke from the enemy fleet as it crashed.

"Enemy Battleship 1, departure." Cruiser two, no, three, sink. Three frigates, guaranteed to sink! "

Operator's report. And-

"Enemy ship, fire!"

The red plasma light blinked. The Great Empire fleet fought back with a plasma cannon.

- That's right. More than our missiles passing through the barrier, if we don't abandon our barrier defenses and fight back, we'll be hit one way or the other.

Jarzee laughs. A light bullet has flown in from the enemy fleet, but our deployed barrier crystal defenses have disabled it.

The captain raised his voice.

Unlock the barrier crystal defense. Main guns, start firing on enemy ships! ”

The time has come for the 45.7-centimetre plasma canon of Duke Jargon to burn. The barrier crystal defenses are interfering with our main gun fire. We'll fight from here on out.

"Artillery chief, in front of the Duke." Do your best! "

Leave it to me!

The exchange between the Captain and the Artillery Leader will leave Jarzee to ruin.

And a 45.7-centimeter quadruple plasma canon emitted blue lightning. Two sets of four plasma shells in a straight line are sucked into a Saville-class Battleship with no barrier crystal defenses. I pierced through the defensive shields and armor and scattered the Great Empire Battleship.

Enemy Battleship, sink!

Alright--Jargie peeked at her white teeth. I'd really like to clap my hands and be happy, but I'll weigh myself in on the Commander. I was proud to see that the first battleship to bear my name was a very powerful one.

The Daiwa class battleship's 45.7 cm triple cannon and the Kii class assault cannon's 40.6 cm onslaught resulted in successive explosions and sinking of the Great Imperial Ship.

In the wall formation, Yamato class and Kii class were attached to the top, bottom, left, and right sides of [Duke Jargon], biting the enemy fleet from the front.

Ise, Ikoma, Myoko, and Ambar II attacks also pierced the enemy ships and raised their pillars.

"It's fragile.... a fragile enemy."

In addition to the frontal bombardment of the second fleet, the first fleet, led by King Emmanu, will also be bombarded from the side, destroying and sinking the ships of the Great Imperial Fleet.

"... that's weird."

Chief of Staff Urbork's expression clouded.

The enemy fleet's course remains unchanged.

That's right. An explosion spreading across the front. Enemies are getting closer and closer. The firepower of the Kingdom's fleet overwhelms the enemy, and it seems that my damage is increasing.

"Why are you poking at me...!"

Chief of Staff Urbork sweats coldly.

"Why don't you change your course!"

"Perhaps you're ready to hit your body...!?"

Jarzee is in a hurry. The Empire knows that the fleets of the Kingdom of Verrillard have been very powerful in their battles.

Isn't that why you've come up with a different method of warfare? Launches a high-quality flesh-thinning attack. "And it was a dense assault for that...?"

Even if the previous ship sinks, the next ship will push on. If you push harder with a few seconds, even if the previous ship is sunk, the last of the subsequent ships will be able to make their way into our pockets.

In fact, the Empire Starfleet has been sinking the vanguard ships one after another, but the next ships are approaching the second fleet.

“All ships, artillery and watch out for enemy ships!”

Jarsey exclaimed. As expected, if we can hit an object of that mass, we won't be able to do anything. Brother-Jin promised that he would be fine with a Battleship class collision with King Emmanu's armor, but the rest of the ship won't.

It looked like he was winning this much, and he was actually being pushed into a wiggle... "

Jarsey licked her lips.

"That's the Great Empire...!"

- If you do it suddenly, play it with the barrier crystal defense. - No, wait!

What if the enemy ship was made of materials that would allow it to pass through the barrier crystal defenses? That's how the Apollo Magic Civilization ships are made, and perhaps so are their successors, the new ships of the Empire.

Then, if you deploy the barrier crystals on each other, they will collide and bounce, but if the opponent breaks the barrier and pushes in, they will pass through our barrier crystal defense!

"Damn...!"

Jarzy noticed a fatal mistake. If the hostiles were really after each other's bodies, I realized that they were stuck in the middle of the operation.

--If I had noticed it sooner...!

The Great Imperial fleet was already on the verge.
