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

The fast cruiser on the Shade Fleet flagship disappeared.

I was on the bridge of the cruise ship Diamante, alternating between the battle I saw through the reinforced window and the battle situation monitor.

The way it disappeared seemed to be that of the magic fixture's metastatic stone.... that the Imperial Ship is a transfer?

"Damn, they do it......!

Punching by Imperial Cruiser troops with inferior performance. General Shade, I see, is the only one who fights in a completely different way than the way the Empire did until then.

Oh, shit. Exactly, this is what makes my intestines boil down, too. I really allowed 'Onyx' to leave!

"My lord."

The fleet core Diamante looks back from the terminal.

"Enemy ship, all destroyed. No Enemy Shadows Around"

"... thank you"

"And here's a report from the reconnaissance aircraft. 'Onyx' appears near the residual fleet of Shade fleets that were behind the battlefield. Probably metastases."

Yeah, is the 'onyx' that disappeared also traveling in metastasis? But I don't think that was the same as the metastatic stone. If you could transfer yourself in the first place, you wouldn't have had to have had a Shade fleet storm in.

"What is the position of 'Onyx'?

"Approximately 110 km from here. If you go fast, you can capture it."

"Let's track him down!

Jarzy in the command seat stood up.

"It's a shame to miss the enemy flagship here! The damage to our fleet seems insignificant.

Jarzy asks Diamante to confirm.

"Yes, a few ships were damaged in the destroyer, but most ships are able to continue fighting."

"Then we should chase him and stab Todome!

"No, I'm not going after you"

I made myself clear. "What?" said Jarzy, sounding surprised, and Diamante slightly decapitated.

"'Onyx' is a fast cruise ship. If I find out this one's after me, I'll run away with that leg. If that happens, once you get distanced, you can't catch up anymore."

"But brother!

"More than that. Send an emergency directive to Diamante, each liaison officer and facility stationed in the Kingdom"

To the word emergency directive, Diamante corrected her posture.

"Ask him to confirm it as soon as possible. Content:" Location, facility report, and whether enemy aircrafts are observed or not ". Hurry!"

"Ha!"

Diamante makes the core body of the console execute orders from me. Jarzy asked.

"Sorry, brother. I have no idea... can you explain it to me?

"The enemy has transferred the ship"

I can take the captain's seat. Honestly, the frustration hasn't resolved yet.

"I had no information about that. But if the Empire could have used that means of transfer on more ships..."

"... what if?

"We can slip through our enemies' eyes with a metastasis and attack anywhere in the kingdom we want."

Jarzy was stunned.

"No way... the battle is over now, no way, you're telling me that the large fleet was over!?

"I don't know that. Maybe it's just that ship of General Shade's gear. I haven't even grabbed SS Intelligence. … which is why we need to confirm"

The Empire always comes out of information on the Emperor's Route.

If that transfer can be used on a fleet scale, the current enemy and air defense regime must be fundamentally reviewed.

This is an extremely serious situation. It is so important that it becomes a trivial issue, such as the suspension of enemy flagship pursuits.

At this moment, I can never say for sure that the capital of the king or the cities of the kingdom are burning down.

Slightly, Diamante gathered reports from all over the kingdom and reported them to me and Jarzy.

"Within the kingdom, no place has been attacked. There's no example of an enemy airship sighting."

"... apparently the worst could have been avoided"

I shrugged my shoulders unexpectedly and Jarzy exhaled loudly as if I had had had a heartfelt relief.

"That and a report from a reconnaissance aircraft, near the enemy transport fleet, found General Shade's flagship. Apparently, he was transferring under a fleet of friends."

"I'm relieved to hear that"

Finally, I was horrified. Honestly, I was also anxious until I found out where General Shade was.

"Nevertheless, intelligence needs to check again. Once the Imperial Ship's transfer attack is in full swing, it's no bother."

"But brother. The Great Empire has lost a new fleet."

To what Jarzy said, I shake my head to the side.

"There is also a lot of information in the Great Empire that we have yet to grasp. We don't even know yet how much our enemies collect and force their magical civilized weapons"

There may be times when the hundred or so fleets that have been destroyed today are being revived.... Whatever we searched for, there were wreckages of nearly three hundred ships in total, albeit useless, underground structures with broken world trees.

If you have the same size of structure on the side of the Great Empire, there's a chance you can mobilize that many.

"Diamante, gathering orders to the fleet. All you have to do is compile a damage report."

"I understand, my lord."

Diamante moves to work. When I take the captain's seat, I walk over to the strategic board at the rear of the bridge. As I was asking the Shapeshifter soldiers for coffee, Jarzy stepped out of the command seat and stood next to me.

"Complete victory this time, what can I say?

"I missed the enemy flagship"

And it wouldn't be too nice to have been able to hold General Shade back while he pulled him out onto the battlefield. I'll have the coffee that the soldiers brought, and I'll look down at the board.

"This is the first time I've seen a fleet battle..."

Jarzy smiled bitterly.

"I went from what to what I imagined. Again, I thought my brother was amazing."

……

"The disadvantage at the beginning, honestly, chilled the liver. But that wasn't supposed to happen to my brother either. Big win if you finish it.... Yes, before we fought, we were already settled"

"That would be the strategy."

I glance at Jarzy.

"Even you, before you fight your enemies on the battlefield, will you think about how to proceed and move your army to win?

"... um. I was taught how to move the army."

The Duke frowned.

"How do we place troops against enemy forces and how do we fight them - think so, but then there's the place to bet on individual work. If you open the lid, there are places where you don't know how to fall."

That's what happens when you don't have a comms plane and it's a battlefield like a cavalry or a soldier storming. The level of skill of each unit is the battle of things. The individual decisions of the front-line commander are quite influential.

"I can't tell you well, we're going to explore the winner as we move the pawn on the board, but by the time my brother sits in front of the board, he's already won... like that"

"What's that?"

You're such a cheat bastard. I can't get that far either, can I?

"Well, the ideal is to win without fighting."

"When you're already on the battlefield, you mean they're losing!

... I feel a little different, but that's what I like. You're dead, aren't you?

It's just Jarzy, isn't it a little too much lifting?

"Whatever that is, this has crushed the enemy's spring battle -"

"My lord, a reconnaissance aircraft called!

SS correspondent looked back from the terminal.

"In the north of the Zygen Plains, a land unit of the Great Empire emerges. Now heading south!
