Book 11: Chapter 13: Super Avid
The Imperial Army moves.
By the time Aluna received the news, one million imperial troops had begun their invasion on the front lines.
"A million? They were still saving their strength?"
Talking with the chiefs of staff on the bridge of the flagship, Aluna had doubts about the number of Imperial troops.
If they had that many, why didn't they put them in from the beginning?
One of the chiefs of staff speculated from the information he had obtained.
"I expect that the enemy is not the army of the Banfield family, but the majority of the Imperial Army."
"--Have they brought in the original imperial army?"
Liam is the one who attacked with only the Banfield family, and it is normal for them to fight in cooperation with the imperial army.
"The duke is a very strong man, but he's not a very good leader. Even for the Duke, losing several hundred thousand ships must be quite a blow."
Aluna was taken aback by Liam, who had relied on the imperial army to invade.
"But still, that's a million. We can intercept them with three times that number."
The High Kingdom also suffered heavy losses, but still had the advantage of defending itself locally. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝒃𝒏𝓸𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝙢
Aluna's face turned grim.
"I will never forget the bitterness I feel for the way he ignored me on the battlefield."
Then an unbelievable report came to Aluna.
"Your Royal Highness!"
"What is it?"
"The imperial army has defeated our fleet one after another, and is heading for the capital planet! We cannot stop their momentum!"
"What!?"
When she heard that a fleet of one million ships was aiming for the capital city in a straight line, Aluna did not understand.
It makes sense to target the enemy's capital, but it would be foolish to do so without any preparation.
There would be supply and maintenance problems, and above all, it would be like being isolated in enemy territory.
Normally, the war would proceed more slowly, with more important strongholds under control.
"Have they underestimated us?"
Aluna could not understand Liam's behavior.
However, when she heard that the imperial army was still gaining momentum, she became concerned.
"--Rally all the forces. Don't allow any more individual attacks!"
In the space of the High Kingdoms.
I board the Avid and lightly grip the controls, tapping my index finger.
The surrounding scenery projected on the monitor is the fleet of the High Kingdoms, which has been transformed into debris - space trash.
"It is true that they are strong, and yet the High Kingdom's fleet is this weak."
On either side of Avid, who is holding a sword, are the figures of Ein and Tsubai of Amarillis.
Tsubai's left arm has been repaired locally for emergency repairs.
Ostensibly, the two were brought along as escort aircraft, but the real intention was to teach them how to behave on the battlefield.
In other words, it is part of their training.
Avid makes the two aircraft create a distance between them and make them look back.
A friendly fleet comes into view.
The reorganized fleet was more cohesive than before.
It was far from ideal, but still better than before.
"The High Kingdom will be a good opponent. Don't you think so?"
I asked my Junior sisters while intimidating them, and they were showing a more composed face than before.
Their faces appeared on the monitor, but the slight sweetness that had been there was gone.
They have the glazed look in their eyes when we met.
--the eyes of a swordsman.
"Yes. But I'll kill Aluna myself."
Rinho interrupted, saying that she would not allow that.
"I told you she's my prey. I'll kill her first."
I can feel the killing intent in their normal conversation.
It seems that being separated from their master has allowed them to regain their original strength.
If this is true, they should be able to show their strength regardless if they are under a master or not.
"She's too much for you guys. Besides, I said I would deal with her. This time, be patient."
"Senior Brother! Why?"
As I stared through the monitor at the two who defied my order, Avid released its hand and reached for the necks of the two Amaryllis aircraft.
The swords drifting in space disappear into the magic circle that has appeared.
The two Amaryllis aircrafts were resisting Avid desperately.
Apparently, Avid was also frustrated.
"I told you we don't have time for this. I'm going to get this over with and I'm going back to my planet."
Fuuka and Rinho looked down in frustration.
Then, Tia sends a message.
"Liam-sama! A report has come in from the scout ship. The High Kingdom's army is gathering near the capital planet. The number of ships is about three million."
I heard that Aluna had prepared a stage for us to go to the capital planet.
"She's very thoughtful. We'll head there too."
Avid deployed a huge magic circle on his back, from which the bow of the giant battleship appeared.
Gradually, the entire ship appears, and the giant battleship begins to transform.
"Izel entertained me, but what about Aluna?"
The High Kingdoms' army awaits the imperial troops.
Aluna boarded the parent aircraft of the Arachne and viewed the battlefield from multiple angles from hundreds of child aircraft.
All of the hundreds of child machine were the eyes of Aluna.
A substandard maneuvering knight who can grasp the entire battlefield with a single aircraft.
However, Aluna saw an unbelievable sight.
"A monster."
The Imperial Army had brought to the battlefield a humanoid weapon larger than a battleship.
From the fingertips of each of these humanoid weapons, optical weapons were fired that could swallow a small ship.
The High Kingdom's battleship is pierced by the beam and explodes, and one of its child machine is also caught in the blast, destroying one of its views.
The experience feeds back, but nothing makes sense in this.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! That thing is a giant humanoid weapon that was defeated by the former crown prince, His Highness the Crown Prince Izel!"
Hearing the words from her subordinate, Aluna bites her back teeth.
Since Izel was able to defeat it, it should be no problem for Aluna, who claims to be the strongest, right?
Although she felt like she was told so, Aluna was having a hard time against the giant humanoid weapon.
(Have they improved their performance from when Izel defeated them?)
The child machines are approaching the giant humanoid weapons, but there are more weapons to intercept them.
Also troubling were the two aircraft flying around the giant humanoid weapon.
More than sixty of Arachne's child machines had already been destroyed.
"Die!"
Another child machine is destroyed by a double-bladed white aircraft.
"You're the reason Senior brother scolded me. --Get out of my sight!"
Aluna clicks her tongue as another white aircraft with a large sword destroys another child machine.
"It's stronger than last time. That's nasty."
She could have dealt with one or the other, but she was struggling against a giant humanoid weapon and two One-Flash swordsmen.
However, Aluna also has no intention of losing.
"If that's the case, then let's use this next one."
Two child machines, one at a time, would be made to cover the entire perimeter when they were back-to-back.
Then they began to aim at all but the giant humanoid weapon and the two One-Flash swordsmen.
"You are strong, but you can't fight a war alone. Now what do we do, Liam?"
Aluna switches to a plan to reduce Liam's allies first.
--It's boring.
That's what I thought.
The two sides had given up on defeating me and switched to a war of attrition to see who would finish crushing the small fry first.
The two sides continued to fight each other without a decisive blow, but Aluna's side started to aim at the surroundings rather than me.
In the meantime, a giant humanoid weapon - it has a long name, but I call it [Griffin].
The Griffin destroyed the High Kingdoms' vessels one after another.
They keep destroying each other's small fry and keep wearing each other out.
Useless. It's a completely futile battle.
Aluna's judgment may be correct, but it lacks interest for me.
But it is Aluna who is strong in war.
Izel was too much of a warrior.
"He is the type of person who is strong in the army. Izel is stronger as an individual than--"
As I was expressing my thoughts, I saw something interesting in the information Griffin had gathered.
When displayed on the monitor, I saw an ally fighting against the child machine of the ancient weapon that Aluna rides.
It is a battle between two mobile knights, but the child machine controlled by Aluna has the upper hand.
Both in terms of performance and the skill of their pilots, they are several steps ahead of ordinary knights.
There are units that counter with their numbers, and there are fleets that concentrate the main guns of their battleships.
In such a situation, a general maneuvering knight was destroying a child machine.
"--What, you're doing surprisingly well."
Most of the capable knights in the Banfield family are those who have drifted in from other places.
But among the knights who were making a difference on the battlefield, there were those who had come from the Banfield family.
It has been a hundred years since I prepared the knighthood, and at last some of the knights have begun to show their talents. fr eewebn ovel.com
The Banfield family's genuine aces were born.
"Was it worth losing half the fleet?"
The loss of half of the fleet has brought new talents from the side of the fleet.
"Are the Knights coming together?"
Not only in numbers, but also in quality.
"I have to thank Aluna! I'll take care of her myself."
Griffin's hatch opens, and Avid, who had been stored there, steps out.
Griffin stopped moving and turned Avid in the direction of Aluna's presence.
As I moved forward, cutting off even the passing enemy aircraft - a child of the ancient weapon - I could see the ancient weapon that Aluna was riding in.
A battleship intervenes to protect Aluna, but when the unarmed Avid approaches, it is cut in two.
The double-crossed battleship passed through the space created by tearing left and right, and when it got in front of Alluna, it was surprised and forcefully created a distance between us.
While approaching the retreating Aluna with reverse thrust, it destroyed the approaching enemy maneuvering knights of the High Kingdom.
"What did you do? What did you do?"
It seems that Aluna doesn't understand what I'm doing.
It is no wonder that she cannot comprehend the sight of her allies around her being destroyed one after another.
After all, Avid does not possess a weapon.
From Aluna's point of view, it would appear MBas if her allies were being destroyed on their own.
"You saw through the flashes of Junior sisters, didn't you? Your talent is real."
"Don't be silly! You haven't done anything of the sort!"
Talented and experienced in real combat, Aluna is a strong opponent.
No wonder Rinho and Fuuka couldn't win.
If they were in the flesh, they would have won--the two of them could have been wounded too.
But even with Aluna, she couldn't see through my flash.
After all, neither Avid nor I were using weapons.
"This is the real One-Flash. Are you relieved to be dealing with half-baked Junior sisters of mine? If so, I'm sorry. I'm personally grateful to you, so I'll show you the real One-Flash.
I will show you.
The art of the deep is not to be seen.
Whoever sees it, will be killed! That's the secret.
But - my master said in the past.
A completed One-Flash is meaningless, even if it is seen.
After all, it is invisible.
As the ancient weapon purges its lower body, eight arms emerge from the mobile knight with a hint of Aluna.
"You took too long!"
Looking around, hundreds of child machines surrounded Avid.
Each of them had eight arms, from which attacks were about to be unleashed.
The idea of overwhelming with numbers is not bad.
The battle is about numbers.
But against my overwhelming strength, they are too few.
The attacks that poured in were bounced off Avid's field.
You should have prepared at least ten thousand units before challenging me. If it was this small, Izel was stronger than me."
Avid is a romantic aircraft that has abandoned cost-effectiveness.
It d weoesn't matter if it is an ancient weapon or not.
"Damn!"
I slowly approach Aluna, who can't destroy Avid, and tell her.
"I'll tell you something interesting. I modified the Avid when I fought Izel, and guess what I used?"
"No way!"
The eight-armed ancient weapon that Izel was riding.
What makes it different from Aluna is that it is an aircraft that pursued strength as an individual.
When it was finally destroyed, it turned to liquid, but I got it and had it analyzed.
The aircraft of Izel was useful. "What can you give me?"
The ancient weapon was analyzed, and Avid and Griffin were refurbished.
When I told them that they had contributed greatly to the improvement in performance, Aluna slashed at me.
It is not a blow out of passion, but jubilation.
"You're good! You're the best, Liam! Losers are food for the strong. If you become strong by eating me, it is an honor. Eat me and you will be strong."
The aircraft of Aluna, which is seriously slashing at us, has eight arms with beam swords appearing.
It is inferior to Izel's aircraft in favor of the swarm, but this woman's superiority lies elsewhere.
Plus, it's preferable as an individual.
She's a guy who wants my genes, but her grace is something I'd like Cleo to learn from her.
"I'll let you live."
Immediately after, I slashed away all the arms of the ancient weapon.
From the ancient weapon drifting in space comes Aluna's bitter voice.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
She's frustrated with me for not killing her, but this woman is a useful one.
I'll make her work for me until she dies.
"The High Kingdom and you, from this day on, I will control everything."
