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

From Ariez Floating Island, a red fleet sails.

In addition to the two light aircraft carriers - "Livenge" and "Marauder" - there are a total of six small fleets: type I cruiser, landing corvette and two golem escorts.

The fleet flagship is' Livenge '. I was on that bridge. The ship core controlling the unmanned fleet is Esmeralda Core,' Emerald '. Diamante, a fleet flagship, has added capabilities to the Shipcore that was left on Ariel's floating island.

By the way, unlike the Safilos, which are artificial cores, Esmeralda Core is a pure Ship Core. Its magic generation capabilities are precision, self-fleet regeneration and repair, missile-based weapons, etc.

"Fleet, form a single longitudinal formation. Using Portal Gate E"

Emerald proclaims in a relaxed manner. I don't mind keeping my mouth shut, but for once, there's me and the Lassiers on board.

She is a green-haired female soldier, only of the same type as Esmeralda, but with a mild sisterly appearance compared to Shadow Fleet's girlfriend.

The fleet heads to the portal ring named Gate E.

Into a huge circle of blue light, stick 'Livenge' in the lead. The signal light in the ring surrounding the portal is green - it represents access. If it is dangerous, such as the presence of enemies beyond the ring, the signal light turns red.

Dive Gate E and go to the next location. Altitude 12,000 meters. There are countless portal rings floating around. That number, a dozen already. Despite its high altitude, the appearance of countless giant rings floating around shows heterogeneity.

The rings correspond to the portals we have set up in the Union respectively. The general portal ring is installed at a high altitude where you can't even climb a Grand Empire airship, but in the unlikely event that a passing presence creeps through the portal, then head straight to Willidis - a procedure to prevent this from happening. Simply because the number of portals has increased.

"Confirm Nievalanka Ring 2. Needle 3-1-0"

Emerald selects a portal close to his destination to guide his fleet.... Yeah, honestly, there's nothing I do here. You can sit in the captain's seat and sleep. I won't, though.

And pass the second portal. There, on the eastern side of the continent, the skies of the Union. Led by the light aircraft carrier Livenge, the red fleet leaves for the western region of the Nievalanca country, at an altitude of 12,000.

As the fleet descends, from a single longitudinal formation, two aircraft carriers are transformed into formations surrounded by four frigates. Cruiser takes the lead. The Golem Escort is left and right of the aircraft carrier, and the Corvette is at the rear.

The target of this attack is the Third Air Fleet of the Great Empire, which is deployed in the Nievalanca Nation. Currently, the fleet, divided into multiple groups, has repeatedly launched an air strike on the main impact of Nivalanka.

This country, both in the Union and in the north, had springtime, but there was also a lot of snow in the winter, and the ground was muddy with melted snow, delaying the invasion of ground troops.

If it matches the Army, it will give the enemy time to take action. That means the Air Force is circling one foot ahead with a preemptive air strike to a key Nievalanka military base.

Fortunately it is divided into several groups. Don't miss this opportunity and destroy the dispersed Third Air Fleet to each!

SS Intelligence reports that the enemy fleet's attack targets, and approximate positions, are grasped. And a leading dragon-eye reconnaissance aircraft reported the latest enemy position here.

"Over the Zapaniva Plains, we have found the Imperial Fleet. Altitude 3000. Cruiser 5, Corvette 8, heading east at cruise speed '

"Thirteenth Cruise Squad and thirty-five, thirty-six Guards for the castle city of Peril."

Preliminary information and the position and number of enemy ships determine that. It is a fleet sent to bomb Peril, the defensive stronghold of Nievalanca. The Imperial Army attacks relentlessly even in cities inhabited by ordinary people if they have bases. We have to do something about it before the inhabitants are sacrificed.

Emmerod looked back.

"Commander, would you like us to launch an attack team?

"Do it."

If I approve, the green-haired Ship Core quickly issued a battle placement to all ships.

"Emerald, I'm going to look in the hangar. I'll leave it to you."

"I'm in awe. - From" Livenge "and" Marauder, "First Attack Squad, Launch Ship"

I'm heading backwards from the bridge on the head of the aircraft carrier. It should be noted that when you take the corridor from the bridge, you will reach the control room where you can see the hangar. As the Shapeshifter Control Officer skipped the instructions, I looked through the control room window into the hangar.

Length 60 meters, width 40 meters, height 15 meters. Parked there are TF-5 Storm Dagger fighters and TA-2 Talon attackers.

A group of aircraft stored with their wings folded to accommodate the small capacity of light aircraft carriers.

Spreading the main wing, the TF-5, which looks like a dagger, is a fighter that also utilizes Shadow Fleet. Now it stores its wings, so it is shaped like a kunai.

TA-2 Talon, on the other hand, is an attacker developed with ground attacks as its main task. In the world where I was, the former sudden descent bomber, the Yunkers JU87 - aka Stuka - is a similar airframe. I lost the propeller and fixed legs from the JU87, and it felt like one of them was downsized around and the length of the torso was shortened. In the hangar, the wings are folded, which is difficult to understand, but when the main wing is deployed, it becomes inversely gale-shaped.

The arming of that talon has a built-in Maggiacanone on the main wing. It has 1 20mm machine gun at the neck, a wepon pylon at the bottom of the torso and 4 wepon pylons at the back of the main wing as well.

This time, an anti-ship attack mission means suspending an ASM-1 anti-ship missile 1, a multi-mounted rocket bullet pod on the main wing, or an ASM-1 under the torso.

It is a shipboard attacker by category, but it is actually closer to a shipboard bomber.

With the side gates of the hangar open and the TF-5, TA-2 idling the Demon Stone engine, it floats off the floor in turn.

All of these onboard aircraft are loaded with replica floating stones. Replicas that vary in height that can be floated by weight, but altitude of 10,000 could be floated at leisure for about a small aircraft.

Well, it's something you can't fly without spreading your wings, but thanks to the floating stone, you can fly even with your main wing closed when you launch from the hangar. Then the runway is not necessary, so both Storm Dagger and Talon fly directly, outside.

When you go outside, blow the engine and accelerate. At the same time the main wing, which was closed, opens and turns into an aircraft like silhouette.

I'll drop off the assault squad and head back to the bridge from the control room. There is something emotional about thinking for yourself and seeing Willidis face to face and built aircraft fly. I'm in the mood to watch the chicks nest.

When we got to the bridge, Lassia, who was talking to Emerald, reported.

"Ten TF-5 fighters, sixteen TA-2 bombs, ten TH-2 attacks - first strike team, all launch ships complete. No faulty machines, Master Jin."

All right. I asked while sitting in the captain's seat.

"Is the number of assault planes sufficient?

"If the performance of an Imperial ship as it stands, we will calculate it as adequate"

Emerald answered naturally. Lassia supplements.

"What, because Talon and Eyre are in action for the first time. If it's not enough, I was wondering if I could give you an extra."

I'm talking about Eel - TH-2.

Sixteen meters long, and because of its larger fuselage, it is not a hangar, but a fuselage that was parked on the upper surface of the light aircraft carrier, on the departure deck.

The format is a general-purpose aircraft with replica floating stone, although it is a Tokitomo workshop helicopter. There is a cockpit block on the neck from which a torso extends straight like an elongated rod. He has no main wing and looks heterogeneous with two small moving tails.

It can be described as a bone-like silhouette of flying fish. Eal-eel is something I used to say. The entire length is long, but the width is small alongside the storm dagger with the wings closed for the absence of the main wing.

Only one movable booster is located at the bottom of the elongated torso.

Armed with one 20mm machine gun fixed to the neck. And then there are two multi-racks, a pair of wepon pylons on the torso. It is an eel capable of carrying transport containers and the like, but this time it is a launch with two ASM-3 large anti-ship missiles.

The Red Fleet Air Force is finally celebrating its first real battle on the United Nations front. How do these, manipulated by skilled shapeshifter pilots and golem cores, slaughter the small fleet of empires?

I kept an eye on the war monitor.
