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

The nascent air fleet of the Great Empire is moving towards the Kingdom of Verilardo.

SS intelligence reports, as well as latent reconnaissance of trade sabotage frigates and others, confirmed the appearance of that fleet.

I'm putting Willidis First Fleet on standby at Ariez Floating Island Military Port.

Total flagship, cruise ship 'Diamante'.

Fifth Battalion consisting of three Ambal Class Light Cruisers.

Eight blizzard-type destroyers from the third destroyer squad.

First Thunder Squad, ten Sizne-class missile boats.

Twenty-two ships in total.

However, groups of aircraft carriers such as the aircraft carrier Aurora, as well as the all-purpose cruiser Vanguard and the assault lander Pegasus, are not included in the first fleet.

Given the estimated performance difference, including the number of minutes, this fleet is at a disadvantage.... if only 'First Fleet Only'.

It should be noted that unicorns and other guerrilla ships are not included in the number.

Diamante said to me looking at the power table.

"Are you sure? Only in this first fleet?

"Just the first one."

I look at the other fleet formations and smile.

"The enemy even pulled out Marshal Airgal. Because of this, you want me to come inside the kingdom?

"What are you thinking?

"Yeah, I'd like to see Marshal Airgal."

I recently had dinner with His Majesty the Emperor. You want to meet with the enemy general in person and talk to him.

"I wish I could take 'Onyx' at last,"

"!? Are you going to be caught (barely) an enemy flagship?

Even though it's core, I'm surprised Diamante. Was that her out-of-count statement?

"Well, I won't force it. If that's possible. And for that, I'm going to keep the front door halfway open rather than closed."

"... attracting enemies and crushing them where they have entered with the main force"

"To see the enemy's reserve power, there is."

The route that SS intelligence has not grasped...... the power from the secret route that His Majesty the Abominable Emperor is involved in. This has burned my hands, but, as this one thinks, the enemy may also have an ambush with the same or more force as the First Air Fleet.

"So you dare be the First Fleet"

Understood, and Diamante. That's where SS Intelligence Sfera came in.

"My lord, the imperial navy of the Norte Sea has received directives for the start of 'Operation Summer'. The fleet that was sailing began to descend south in unison."

"Are you here?"

I took a seat.

"First fleet, prepare to sail. Even so, we'll be waiting in northern airspace for a while."

"Prepare for the enemy's first air fleet."

Diamante nodded.

"... but are you sure?

"Once the First Fleet has gone to the Norte Sea, the enemy main air fleet will invade the territory of the Kingdom of Verilardo at once. Stand by for restraint."

"It is also possible to send other fleets to the Norte Sea."

"I don't know if that's necessary."

The Norte Sea also has a navy.

"Shall I prepare a guerrilla squad, as an emergency reinforcement, just in case"

At present, the guerrilla squad, which uses the unicorn-class mobile cruiser as its flagship, has completed its formation of three squads.

"Then I'm going to Nort Harwen. As a Willidis army, I want to support the Norte fleet."

I flew to the site using the portal. We must first meet with Count Verger to intercept the Imperial Fleet.

"Leave me alone."

Mr. Bell followed me in the black cat.

"If you go, you won't be able to cross your sword directly, will you?

"Really? I think I have an idea, don't you?

When I went to the lord's house in Nort Harwen, the Count was told by a family order that he was in Mountain Castle on Fluff Island.

"Ghost King Kong, Hell's Mountain Castle..."

I shrugged unexpectedly. Was that the other way around?

"What's that?

Mr. Bell asked me on my shoulder.

"In the world I was in, it used to be a sailor song or something"

"... I'm not sure."

"Me too, I only know that phrase"

Chatting, take the portal to Fluff Island - Willidis Army Secret Military Port in its basement. Here are the docks and supply bases for Crocodile and Vaal Golem submarines.

Even so, except for the manned 'crocodile', the var-class submarine was paying for it. We are conducting reconnaissance operations in the Norte Sea to capture and track the southbound Imperial Navy fleet.

I also order 'Crocodile', which plants a portal inside, to sail. Maybe I'll take command from the submarine. The Vaal class is a submarine-shaped golem, so you have nowhere to ride......

Well, at Fluff Island Command, me and Mr. Bell met with Count Verger. If we tell him that the Empire has finally moved, the Earl has ordered the sailing to the fleet of Kraken military port, where the main force of the Norte Sea fleet is its home port.

Light Cruiser 1, Destroyer 1, Attack Sentry 3, plus Practice 2 and Large 1...

"Needless to say, in the Norte and enemy fleets, the difference in numbers is overwhelming"

Count Verger stroked his moustache and looked down at the nautical chart.

"We need to be particularly vigilant in the fleet of ships equipped with enemy Reciprocal engines. There are six armored ships and what the enemy calls cruisers. And a small aircraft carrier 3 with an aerial bod and a flying dragon carrier..."

"You're an aircraft carrier manoeuvre unit, albeit preliminary."

Even though the Navy had a low priority, it was natural for the Air Force to have a similar vessel of thought if it had an aircraft carrier.

To be clear, not as good as the air fleet, the Norte Sea Expansion fleet of the Great Empire also had the ability to overtake the general navy of this world.... are stronger than they were when they raided the Makanta military port.

But we haven't lost, sir.

Count Verger called me 'Secretary'. I've been told more things about His Excellency the Marquis, but this is the first time I've been called Secretary, and I'm getting a little moody.

"If Secretary Tokitomo's submarine fleet, and our Flying Falcon (Hiji-kun) air force, first destroy the disturbing Reciprocal Engine Ship, then we can do nothing about it with a minefield assault."

It's a gradual downsizing operation.

"Exactly"

Getting, and Count Verger grinned.
