"Avalon ・・・・・・"

Ilan repeated the name softly, her eyes fixed on the screen.

Avalon。

The land of the elves, the ideal place undisturbed by the world.

The name of the floating ship.

Not ・・・・・・

No, no, no.

Don't be fooled by this scene, it's just an air combat unit. Excluding the visual and psychological influences, and simply treating it as an uncertain variable・・・・・・ it is nothing more than a large piece of iron floating in the air.

The most important thing at the moment is to find out the details of it before touching it.

Ilan slapped his head desperately, trying to thaw it from its ossification.

Although its maximum speed is unknown, it appears that this slow speed is not designed to be fast if the possibility of a demonstration is excluded.

According to Lloyd, it was a command and troop carrier, and it was supposed to be at the rear of the battlefield. It is true that there are advantages to projecting a certain amount of ground combat power from the air, but it does not seem to be irreversible at present. Cornelia couldn't get out of the reckless suicide attack from the rear, and there was no ground cover, but even so, Avalon was slowly moving towards it, which meant that it thought it could take care of the Black Knights on its own.

There must be a name in it.

Floating Battleship ・・・・・・

At present, only one has been discovered, and according to the count, this is a real yàn ship, which has not yet reached the mass production stage. But since Ruru has not tired of deceit, if there is still a whole fleet ambushed behind Aiying Mountain, the consequences are unimaginable.

Undoubtedly, this is the first time that floating weapons have appeared on the stage of history, not in the most scorching places of the war in North Africa, nor in the pressure on the federal border, but here, in the 11th sector. Hiding hole cards has always been the work of the weak, and with the strength of the empire stronger than the sum of the federation and the EU, there is no need to secretly hold back a whole fleet and then suddenly put the final word. If there were, it should have been used to deter the enemy a long time ago.

In this case, this Avalon should indeed be the only floating combat unit in the Empire. The Empire really had nothing to do, so it came up with a half-finished product to deal with the Black Knights.

But・・・・・・

"Count Asbrud?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ilan turned on the video again, and the video showed Lloyd surrounded by a dozen large men, four or five guns pointed at his head from different angles. The Earl of Pudding, covered in cold sweat, with a stiff smile on his face, please don't kill me, his hands honestly pressed on his knees, and his whole body was tense, as if there was an electric chair sitting under his buttocks.

"Well, I have one more question."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Can that Avalon only fly that high? Is that how it was designed? Is it to ensure that the troops can land in the first place? ”

This kind of ultra-low-altitude flight with dark clouds overwhelming can indeed put a lot of psychological pressure on the enemy, but whether it can be shot down is two, not fire-fighting air fire, knightmare's cannons, and even rockets from ground troops can easily reach its belly.

"Ahh Yes, yes, Avalon is equipped with a second-generation energy shield generator, which is an upgraded version of the energy shield on Lancelot's arms. There is no need to make contact with the generator anymore, but to create a shield directly in front of it, and the strength and size of it depend on the current. Miniaturization is still difficult to achieve, so it can only be equipped on warships. Haha, ha, I forgot to say it just now, sorry, hahaha. ”

It's a big problem...

Ilan suddenly felt the urge to crash headlong into the dashboard.

How is this going to be fought?!!

The unsinkable fortress that hangs over the lid of his own heavenly spirit・・・・・・

As Avalon approached, Ilan's heart sank.

This guy did it on purpose, and he still had the illusion that he could be rescued. With a harmless expression of humans and animals, talking nonsense is a registered trademark of Elan, and I don't want to meet people in the same way today.

"Forgot about it?" Ilan pondered for a while, and finally gave Lloyd a big smile. "I must remind you, Mr. Count, that if the Empire wins, I swear you will be our sacrificial sacrifice. But whether you survive or not is not up to us, nor to the Empire, but to yourself. Mr. Earl, I dare not say that I understand you, but there are some things I can still see, you are not the kind of person who dies for your country, you love your career, you love your life, life is a good thing for you, so... please do us a favor, and for your health, think about it, what else have you forgotten? ”

"Ah, aha, ha, you say that..." Lloyd's bean-sized cold sweat fell from his head. "My boss, the second prince, Shunazel, may also be on the ship, of course it's only possible, ahahaha."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"General."

The second prince was dressed in white, sat in a velvet-lined armchair, looked down at the people in the headquarters from the big screen, listened quietly and politely to Dalton's report, and from time to time faintly showed concern or sadness, and finally sighed.

"I'm sorry about Guildford, the Empire can't find a more loyal knight than him. The soldiers have fought very hard, and you are all role models for the Empire. ”

An example of the empire?

If this was from someone else's mouth, Dalton would have kicked him out of the door. But from the second prince's point of view, it didn't make people feel ridiculed at all, but sighed from the heart. Because of this, the scar-faced man's head drooped more and more, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I'm so sorry! His Royal Highness! ”

Dalton's heart fluttered, and he suddenly fell to one knee. He clenched his fist with his right hand and clasped it on his chest with a bang.

"The reason why this battle is like this is all up to me! It was in the next decision that it evolved into the current situation! I also ask Your Highness to deal with our military law!! ”

Seeing the other party like this, Schunezel couldn't help but laugh.

"I really envy the second sister."

Schunezel shook his head helplessly. Dalton didn't react, and looked up in amazement

"There are so many loyal subordinates who are eager to help her carry the black cauldron."

"Nope! Your Highness! It's really me..."

"Alright." Schunezel smiled and raised his hand to stop him. "It's not your fault, and it's not even the royal sister. No one would have expected that Kyoto would choose to betray the empire and join forces with terrorists. You are here to suffer from the enemy's back, facing the enemy's never-before-seen weapons, ten times the enemy's army, eighty percent of the troops' losses can still fight hard without retreating, the courage and loyalty of all the kings, the empire has seen it, all the merit is the sin? If I really want to blame anyone, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, I realized the great changes that occurred in Area 11, and the support was not good, so that the soldiers waited for the death to die in vain before I was the first crime. ”

"Don't dare !!"

Dalton was so startled by the words that he almost buried his head in the ground, and finally did not dare to talk about the subject of punishment anymore.

"Besides, the battle is not over, the outcome is undecided, and all the words are frustrating. General, this is not the style of the Imperial soldiers. ”

"What Your Highness said is very true! I only ask His Highness to order, Dalton is a martial artist, and he is willing to be ashamed of his pawn today! Avenge Guildford! ”

The Prime Minister of the Empire, the future Second Prince of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Xiu Naizer himself, is now sitting on a real plane and coming to the battlefield in person. With the identity of tens of thousands of people under one person, he has already achieved this point, how can he not take the lead in his two hundred pounds? !

"Okay, General, please pack up your camp and concentrate on fending off the mob in the rear and making room for Avalon. Count battle damage and heal wounded soldiers. ”

What do you mean?

Don't let me send troops?

The second prince wants to go it alone?!

"Your Highness! ZERO's tricks are hard to guard against! The means are extremely despicable! Even His Highness can't guard against villains! We've been fighting with them for days, so experience..."

"General." Schunezel sighed. "The ground forces are massed and dispatched to give ZERO's artillery a chance, at least half of them have to be lost in the middle of the road, and the soldiers are used to fight, not to block the eye."

"・・・・・・ yes."

Dalton said with difficulty.

"This is a military order, then General, I have a personal request."

"Yes."

"Please stay by the royal sister's side, make sure she is safe, and don't let her do stupid things."

Schunezel's tone turned, and he softened.

"I am sorry for Guildford's sacrifice and for what she has experienced. No matter how strong a person is, she has her own limits, and now she needs her family, Dalton, and now she needs you more than ever. ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Schunezel, the man with the 10,000-year-old smile that the sky has fallen・・・・・・

The moment he heard the name, Elan's heart sank below sea level, and his confidence index fell into negative numbers through the table.

There are seven billion people in the world, and this is the only one he wants to meet now.

It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's just that the second emperor brother really didn't come at the right time. In this state that even a straw can not withstand the limit, he suddenly puts the only person in the world who can threaten himself in front of him・・・・・・

Schunezel.

Let him take over the command, the effect is no less than letting the opponent's entire army swallow stimulants, and everyone will have a shot of AADP. In contrast, Avalon is just an embellishment behind him.

Before he appeared, all the qiē was in the sun, and all the variables were predictable. But after his appearance, all the possibilities of the future retreated into darkness.

From now on, anything can happen.

Either way, give yourself options first.

"Second team, replace the self-detonating body! All Gnaku are on standby, and no attack is allowed without an order! ”

"Ground troops, all camouflaged on the spot, RPGs loaded, no fire!"

"Sakurashi Cannon closes the hatch, their first target is likely to be the top of the mountain!"

"The overseer team asked Kyoto to speed up the process! From now on, you have the right to randomly terminate a slacking engineer every twenty minutes! ”

Quickly issuing a series of commands, Ilan took a deep breath and coughed violently. Splatters of saliva stuck to the screen, but instead of being transparent, it was pale pink.

The overtime had overwhelmed Glasgow's aging air-conditioning system, and the cabin had somehow become as hot as a boiler. The filtration system had already exceeded the load, and the smoke and dust outside the cabin blocked the filter screen and gradually penetrated into the cabin. Equally devastated is Elan's fragile respiratory system.

"Command!"

"Yes!"

"Keep an eye on Q1, she is not allowed to attack under any circumstances! Under no circumstances! Do you understand?! ”

"Yes!"

As he spoke, Avalon's speed slowed down, and finally hovered not far from the top of the mountain.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

A teenager in a black driver's suit was standing in Avalon's Gnaku, looking up at the body in front of him, as if thinking about something.

It was a black mech nearly twice as tall as a standard knightmare, with gold hooks and signature bat ears, with six spikes extending from its back to all sides. It wasn't a meaningless ornament, but a wing-like hovering device.

"Gawain." （Gawain）

The person who spoke was Shonezel, and at some point he stood beside the young man, smiling, and looking at the latest mech, the masterpiece of his R&D team, with the eyes of the Empire.

"The world's first aerial knightmare, equipped with a suspension system and hadron shells. Due to the enormous energy consumption of both systems, Sunderland's batteries were not even enough to activate the barrels on both shoulders, so the body was much larger than the standard Knightmare. Even so, Gawain's battery accounts for thirty percent of the total mass of the body. With the addition of weapons and levitation systems, close to sixty-five percent, there is no room to install an energy shield similar to Lancelot, and the armor is even weaker than Lancelot. Designed for long-range annihilation of a single aircraft against an army, it is a bit wasteful to put it here. So if you can, try to keep your distance from the enemy. ”

"Not as good as Lancelot?"

The young man asked silently, and that tone didn't look like he was talking to the second prince of the empire.

"In close combat, it is far inferior, the hadron cannon is useless, and the huge fuselage makes it clumsy." Schunezel did not show the slightest displeasure, and explained gently. "But that's why she was given a levitation system, wasn't it?"

'I said one Sunderland would suffice. I can't afford such a precious body. ”

The teenager continued to be unappreciative.

"Sunderland? On the other side is Glasgow, which has beaten Lancelot. ”

"I know, master of melee combat, he's dead."

Hearing that the other party was so confident, he couldn't help but observe the young man with interest.

"I've never lost." The young man said coldly.

"What about the round table?"

"Except for the first knight, Bismarck, the rest are not much different from miscellaneous soldiers."

Although this statement is extremely arrogant, there is no arrogance in his tone, as if he is just stating a certain fact.

Schunezel became more and more interested in him.

"You are the pilot assigned to me by my father to deal with ZERO, and I have not the slightest doubt about your strength. But, with all due respect, if you have such strength, why have I never heard of you in my own country? ”

"I can't answer that question, sorry."

"It's really hard to get close to."

Schunezel smiled unremittingly.

[Your Highness! The ship has reached the established airspace, the whole system is working normally, and it can perform operations. 】

The captain's voice rang out from the canopy of Gnaku.

Schunezel nodded at the camera, approved the fight, and turned to look at the teenager next to him.

"Then please... uh, I don't know ・・・・・・ yet."

"I don't have a name."

The young man said lightly, and jumped on the body in three or two.

"No, or can't you say?" Schunezel smiled leisurely.

"・・・・・・I don't have a name."

The boy was silent for a moment, shook his head, opened the cockpit and jumped in.

"I have a different name for each mission. Adam, Alva, Newport, Elaine, Worouf, Laimel・・・・・・"

As he spoke, the boy quickly typed his code on the panel and waited for verification. At the same time, the hatch slowly opened, and the pungent smoke poured into Gawalon's Gnaku, and the mutilated mountain beneath his feet was clearly visible.

Gawain's head monitor lit up, and the verification was successful, and the body made a slight noise, the body warmed up, and the barrel was pressurized.

The screen shows that the body is working properly.

Driver login name, Rolo Haliburton.

"Lolo・Loro・Loro・Loro..."

Out of professional habit, the boy pronounced the name over and over again, carving it into his mind.

"This time my name is Lolo."
