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

When you asked me if there was any benefit to protecting the Eziogs, there was nothing I could do but be hostile.

Anyway, you're the one who did the most damage to our Phantom Anger. I just didn't feel like bringing them on my side.

"It's a lie!

Vail glanced at him.

"You're trying to use us, too, aren't you? An empire flying magician. I'm stronger than the magicians there. So, that's the kind of soul audacity you're trying to make me fight the Empire?

"... that sounds like the best story ever."

I shook my head to the side.

"Yes, but we only accept applicants, so we don't force people who aren't willing to fight."

Instead, don't go in if you can, because if a biological person joins you and you get killed in battle with it, this one will be hard.

I respect the will, so I accept the applicant, though. But there are also casualties in the Kingsguard and Dark Elf volunteers. There are no casualties in the ship system, but there are fighters, AS pilots, etc...

The boys and girls went out of their way. Ma, I've been raised to fight so far, and they won't pin me down if I'm told otherwise, so I'll need re-education or rehab.

Ebis, this time, I asked you to go out with me because of the rescue of a colleague, but we haven't discussed what we're going to do next time.

"We'll discuss the future later and we'll take our time to decide. Don't panic, we'll serve you a meal or a place to live here for the moment"

"You're telling me to believe...?

Still a veil of suspicious eyes. I can't help but not trust you easily. "I think I'll just have to believe it," Ebis said out loud.

"Well, I have a separate case, so I'll let you leave. Talk to Dr. Elisa later."

In that sense, I leave it to Elisa. I asked her to accompany me for this. When the green-haired beauty appeared, they all took a hack and a breath. Even that veil didn't miss the red cheeks, no, I missed him.

I'm moving to the transport cockpit. The SS pilot was instructed to take a course to Ariel's Floating Island, and I moved to the next location with a portal ring.

That's inside the warship. It was the bridge of Shadow Fleet flagship Kialval.

"My lord."

Esmeralda of Ship Core welcomed me. Anthropomorphizing into a shortcut green-haired female soldier, she turned her gaze to the war map.

"A Magic Army cruiser breaks into the Jahada Valley. We believe you will soon arrive at Elian's secret laboratory."

"Yeah.... any reports from undercover?

"Control on board is complete. The name of the ship is' Triwiu '. We're entering the Eyrian airship dock now."

Much better.

Now, let me explain a little bit about the upside down to this.

When we arrived at Castle Cos, Vail and other Eziog agents were rebelling. They were aiming for a hangar, but even leaving it like this and letting it escape, they knew the Great Empire was bound to come out in pursuit.

So wait in front of the hangar, use a stun bullet to paralyze it, and then protect it after being powerless. We evacuated the Eziogs from Castle Cos under the cover of SS operative Colonel Timpasta.

And of the Magic Army Special Development Corps that came...... er, was it Colonel Visley? He decided to hand over the SS operatives who turned into Eziog boys and girls and ask them to guide him to what they call the secret laboratory.

... Well, that disfigured SS operative represented his nature with an imperial cruiser that housed the transport boat, killed the crew, and took over the ship.

Later, we found out where that secret laboratory was, and then we destroyed it. Shadow Fleet can crush the base of the Magic Army Special Development Corps, and yet the Eziogs have also played like dead, so they don't have to go after him safely.... if all goes well, though.

"My lord, the infiltrators have sent me an internal diagram of the Eyrian Institute."

"That's fast."

Esmeralda displays the transmitted information on the monitor.

There is a facility at the bottom of the valley with an experimental site. The grounds surrounded by exterior walls are lined with palace-like buildings and countless factory-squared buildings. Plus two docks for aircrafts on the table. One was entering the valley, and there seemed to be a research facility in the basement as well.

At the bottom of the valley, on the surface, it is possible to fire ships and air strikes, but it is difficult to attack underground. We have to send in a direct control unit.

"There were reports that 'Triwiu' would enter the underground dock in the valley. Looks like they're taking Eziog to the underground lab."

And - Esmeralda added.

"We are reporting that an additional anti-aircraft magic cannon has been placed."

Three red dots appear on the map. Prepare for the Shadow Fleet raid, I guess. Well, it's not hard to beat it as long as you know where it is.

"Now let's get the air force out and attack the ground facility. After hitting the ground, we'll send reinforcements from the landers."

"I understand, my lord."

An alarm has been sounded aboard announcing battle placement.

Darkness looms. Shadow Fleet, twenty ships are flying high altitude in alert formation.

In time, the movement became hasty with three light aircraft carriers.

Based on the hull of a Type I cruiser, this aircraft carrier is very similar to a transporter modified light aircraft carrier because of its silhouette.

However, the type I cruiser on which it was based is one hundred and fifty metres longer than the original and slightly larger than the transport base on which the hull was forced to be extended.

With the exception of hangars, aircraft bomb depots, flight decks, etc., productivity and ease of maintenance have improved due to the hull structure common to Type I cruisers for the most part.

Shadow Fleet's light aircraft carriers Sabre, Traiter and Fanatic immediately begin work on the attack team's launch.

If the pitch-black painted Storm Dagger fighter, Talon onboard bomber, flies out of the side gate of the hangar, the Ghost fighter and the Eyre IIB attacker equipped with an enhanced bombing unit (again different from Phantom Anger's Eyre II and additional equipment) will start a floating launch ship from the flight deck.

This time, one hundred and eighty aircraft are flown from three light aircraft carriers, but it is possible to operate forty-eight aircraft and a total of one hundred and forty-four aircraft for each aircraft carrier, assorted maximum loads.

Attack team, launch complete.

To Esmeralda's report, I nodded about the captain's seat.

Now, if the assault team attacks the surface, and later, the infiltrators take control of the underground facility, we're done with this operation.

Do well, Mr. Bell.
