「….what is it?」
「Because the kingdoms army is heading here as reinforcements. Whilst we gain time for them, would you take the civilians and join up with the kingdom army?」
「………………are you trying to die?」
「I don’t want to die…..but is there any other way to keep them occupied? Anyway, this city is done for. Even if the reinforcements come, their fighting power is not nearly enough to win」
As Karen said so, she turned her sight to the large fortress in the sky.
Suddenly a man’s face appeared projected from the fortress. He had silver hair and odd eyes.
『My name is Renya. I am another worlder from a different world. However, right now I am the exclusive mage of the Elsass magic empire, Gohon』
Hey, has something started now?
Due to the guys speech, everyone present was looking up at the man who calls himself Gohon.
『–and I tell the enemy of the empire. Lay down arms and surrender immediately. As long as you do that, I’ll allow you to live』
Listening the the man’s speech, Kazuya spoke to Chitose in a low voice.
「(Is this the so called Chunnibyou disease? It seems another troublesome enemy has appeared)」
「(Yes, that seems to be it. Since he believes himself to be a mage)」
A small explosive sound was suddenly heard as Kazuya was listening to Chitose.
Looking at the source of the sound, Black smoke was rising from the enemies headquarters.
「Was there an accident?」
「That seems to be the case」
Chitose said to Kazuya as she observed the enemies putting out the fire, using her binoculars.
Karen suddenly approached Kazuya.
「I wonder if I can make a request?」
「Well. To be honest I’m not really an adventurer, so I don’t know about that」
「….? What are you talking about?」
「Oh sorry, I was thinking to myself. Is it really necessary for Karen to become a decoy?」
「Did you not hear him? If we don’t do anything, we’ll be completely destroyed. Or what? Are you going to abandon the monster and beast people and surrender yourself to the empire?」
In the face of the overwhelming pressure of the Imperial troops, Kazuya had not considered surrendering. Regardless, she grabbed Kazuya by the neck, drawing in close whilst blushing red.
Kazuya glanced at Chitose, telling her to holster her Beretta, whilst he stared into the eyes of Karen.
「No….it would be impossible to do such a thing」
「Then, what can we do?」
「Oh, just watch」
Kazuya murmured as he undid the hand grasping his neck. He then grabbed his walkie talkie.
「All troops. Begin plan A. Attack, start!」
『『『『『『『『Understood!!』』』』』』』』
Ten seconds later, some thin, long objects appeared in the sky above the fort city one after another.
Karen was shocked, but this was understandable. What was flying above the fort city was a squad of F-22 Raptors as well as a barrage of AIM-120 BVRAAM air to air missiles.
The ships they were aiming at could not avoid the missiles, due to their speed reaching Mach 4. The sound of explosions filled the air as the missiles ate away at the ships, blowing their wings off.
The wooden ships had little to no defensive powers and were easily destroyed. Furthermore, due to the presence of gunpowder from the cannons used on the floating ships, it caused further explosions
Some of the missiles also hit the flying fortress, however they did little to no damage due to the powerful magic shield protecting it.
「………………Kazuya…..what did you do?……」
Karen somehow managed to squeeze out her voice as she watched in shock and awe as ship after ship was reduced to a falling fireball.
「Hahaha, are you surprised?」
Kazuya said so, laughing like a mischievous boy who had succeeded in a prank.
On the other hand, the fortress was in chaos to have suddenly received that missile attack.
「Royal Oak, Prince Andrew, St Michael, Victory and Prince are sinking! Flight is impossible, prepare for emergency landing!」
「The ally fleet has taken heavy damage, retreat now!!」
「Renya!! What do we do!?」
As the damage reports come rolling in, the man pleads for a ruling on what to do.
「Why are there missiles in this world!?…..That’s impossible! Shit! They must have another worlder as well」
Renya didn’t hear his subordinates pleading an began to make noise on his own.
「Renya-san? We need directions!」
Whilst wasting time, many missiles hit the barrier.
The fortress quivered due to the impact.
「Ah……quickly! Prepare the cannons!」
Waking from his stupor, Renya’s face grows red as he gets angry.
「Renya-san!? We can’t! We have to lower the magic barrier to fire the cannons! The enemy will attack us when we do that!」
「Noisy! You should follow my orders silently!」
「But!!」
「Do it now you shit head!! That’s an order!!」
「……Understood」
Although the subordinate took the verbal abuse to heart, he followed the order regardless.
The magic barrier was deactivated as expected, many missiles approached the defenceless fortress.
