The sirens were particularly harsh, as if to set off the tense atmosphere, and the lights in the battleship suddenly dimmed. Immediately, the ship's radio sounded: "Demon reaction detected, number 2, type is battleship-level type4, the distance is half a light second, and the relative velocity is negative." The whole ship is ready for combat at the second level, and all departments are requested to return to their posts to be on alert. ”

The first time I heard such a tense pre-war siren, my whole body became nervous. Is this the rhythm of preparing for battle? For me, who lived in peacetime, I had no idea what the battlefield was like. The only impression of the battlefield is the scenes from the anime and the movie, which is very refreshing......

Would it be cool if you stood on the battlefield?

Feed! Can anyone tell me what I should do now?

"The ......," I simply cast an inquiring look at the captain. Since you can't decide for yourself, then let's ask the Supreme Commander.

However, the captain didn't pay attention to my inquiry, he sighed and shook his head: "It's really disappointing to have a demon at this time...... and then he straightened his face and sat up straight and looked at me, saying: "I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to take you to visit this battleship, and by the way, I asked about the culture of 2017, it seems that there is no chance now." ”

"That...... Captain, what can I do now? "I tried to calm myself down. Maybe now I have the mentality that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and although I am worried about what will happen in the battle later, I think I should be able to do my part.

Anyway, Mu Zicen also said that I am an absolute ability with level 9 spiritual strength, right?

In other words, where did the term "absolute ability" come from?

"Huh? Eat, eat enough to have the strength to fight. Unexpectedly, the captain was slightly stunned, and then picked up the salad on the plate without any flaws, although it was not eaten slowly, but the foodie spirit of giving priority to filling the stomach during the "second-level combat preparation" made my impression of the captain worse and worse......

Looking around, there are already many people who have taken the road to their posts. Gnavier seemed nervous, too, but couldn't leave. Only the captain was relaxed......

Is this battleship reliable? I hadn't been able to learn the configuration of the battleship before I felt as if my life was in danger. Wouldn't it be long after waking up to get the bento?

"What are you watching me do?" At this time, the captain finally felt our gaze, and after being puzzled for a while, he finally had an epiphany, and said: "The food in the universe should be cherished, eat it quickly." The demon is still half a light-second away from us, and it will take ten minutes to enter the combat circle even with the first battle speed, so don't worry. ”

"Yes...... Is it. "Since the captain said so, it doesn't seem to be an unreliable person. Now he doesn't return to the bridge to command, maybe it's his trust in his subordinates? However, I had some doubts: "That, that one called demon...... Is it an alien? ”

"Aliens? Is that what you were called in your day? The captain was stunned for a moment, then explained vaguely while eating: "Demons are eternal enemies, and it is because they ...... Forget it, let's not talk about the past. They are not human, they don't even have the appearance of a person, they can only be said to be a big octopus? Oh, they are just foreign enemies invading the earth, and it is impossible for us to even communicate with each other. ”

When he said that thing called demon, his eyes were obviously fierce. He took a bite of the sandwich, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Well, wait until you come with me to the bridge and let you see a beautiful show." Okay, hurry up and eat. ”

With that, it began to pick up the food on its plate again.

"...... "What else can I say at such a time?" Let's listen to him and eat!

When the fried rice is flavored with a spicy sauce, it becomes more relatable, at least it is not so difficult to eat. After the meal was full, the captain took us to the bridge. The battleship's bridge is above the living quarters, accessible by elevator, and there are about a dozen people sitting in the 50-square-meter oval, each paying attention to the screen in front of them, and from time to time using some technical jargon to inform the situation. Directly in front of you is displayed on a large screen that shows the enemy's location and surrounding conditions.

Below the screen is a porthole, and the deep and silent starry sky is presented to me with a huge crater of the moon on one side. Moment...... There is an illusion that you are going to be caught up in it. That's what it is...... Universe! The starry sky envelops my body, and the immersive sense of belonging suddenly makes my blood boil!

"Report the Demon's location!" When the captain returned to the bridge, he immediately became majestic, and as he walked to his place, he ordered everyone: "Report on the readiness of the combatants!" ”

"The demon will be in effective range in two minutes and thirty-one seconds. They shouldn't have noticed us. ”

"The main battle personnel have arrived, and they are ready to start fighting at any time!"

"Hmm......" the captain nodded, and sat down in his place. He hadn't forgotten me, of course, and after a moment of struggling on the console in front of him, a chair rose from beside him. He pointed to the chair and said, "Just sit here, remember to fasten your seatbelts." ”

"Good...... Good. I hurriedly sat down as he said. At this moment, there is still calm outside the universe, but the invisible war has already begun, and the commander is strategizing, looking at the captain's appearance, he seems to want to ambush the enemy called the demon here.

As an inconsequential person, I just need to sit honestly......

However, since I can work on this ship, I will be able to join the battle sooner or later, right? Thinking about it makes me feel excited, and with "I'm a pervert with level 9 mental strength", I think the possible surname of death will be Fuyun. At this time, the captain was staring at the screen in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I simply took a curious look at the bridge. More than a dozen people were distributed in front of the porthole, and only the two girls were in the center of the hall. At the front of the captain's platform is a streamlined cockpit like the front of a bullet train, and a girl is sitting in the cabin with the help of an assistant...... Wait a minute! Graying blonde hair, isn't that Gnevere!

Looking around, Gnavelle who had come with me was gone, which made me even more sure that it was her who was sitting in that sleek cockpit. So, what is that machine for?

I saw that the cockpit door was covered, and it was sunk into the bridge. The assistant who helped Gnavelle get into the cockpit quickly returned to the nearby bench and began to work.

"That...... What did Gnavier do? "Somehow, I suddenly became a little concerned about Gnevelle's whereabouts, and asked the captain.

"She's at her post, and her mental force field will provide energy for the battleship's two main guns." The captain explained succinctly. But I still don't understand what he means, could it be that the spiritual force field can still provide energy to the machine? Isn't the mental force field supposed to be just something like a superpower?

Although I was a little confused, I soon understood what was immediately explained by the assistant's announcement.

"The curvature cannon inserts the bolt into position, the connection is normal, the access is clear, the synchronization rate is 97.4%, and Captain Gnevelle said that it can be fired at any time."

Alas? Insert the peg?! I understand why this setting is set!

Is this the practice of linking weapons with spirits and making them powerful? It's like I've seen it in some anime. eva？ Yes, that's it...... But it seems that the setting is a little different, this era ...... There shouldn't be a setting for people to drive huge creatures, right?

In the midst of speculation, tension has become growing in the bridge.

"The demon is in combat range! The relative velocity is negative, and they shouldn't have noticed us yet! ”

"Anyway, this is the dark side of the moon too." The captain snorted, and then ordered loudly: "All ships, first combat configuration." ”

This command was like the howl of a wolf, and the wolves were immediately excited. The air on the bridge began to boil, and various instructions were issued from the positions where everyone was responsible. Outside the porthole, you can vaguely see a faint white glow on the hull blocked by the shadow of the moon.

"Little ones, fill in the fifteenth and sixteenth sunk markers on our battleship today!" The regiment commander stood up, waved his majestic hand, and shouted: "The carrier-based aircraft is dispatched, and the curvature cannon is ready to be fired." Tactical chief, you command the carrier-based aircraft unit. ”

"The firing axis and correction have been synchronized with Captain Gnavel, and the gun door is open!" I don't know who shouted, the hull in front of the bridge slowly opened, and a thick and long cannon rose up, the square cannon body exposed the internal structure of the barrel in order to dissipate heat, and each module lit up with the energy charge. When the light reached saturation, the white beam of light spun and twisted majestically, crushing into the depths of the starry sky.

But in the end, the meat can't see the end of the beam and the shooting result, and the combat distance in the universe is counted in thousands of kilometers. However, on the large screen inside the battleship, the trajectory of the curvature cannon and the trajectory of the enemy's movement were displayed......

After a moment of silence, the chief observer reported the result: "The curvature cannon has hit the target hard, and the target is still alive." ”

Then, the screen showed the image of the target being hit - the white beam of light swept fiercely over the side of the enemy that looked like a giant arthropod beetle, and the curvature cannon did not explode after hitting the target, but distorted the nearby space, and the sideways of the "giant beetle" was immediately torn open by the distorted space, and strange tissues splashed out of it......

It's disgusting......

I'm sick to my stomach. Those giant arthropod beetles must be the so-called foreign enemies, right?

Didn't the seemingly mighty shelling kill the target? I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. However, it was quickly relieved that if the enemy was so easily defeated, then how could humanity still be forced to flee the earth?

"Type4 is really hard enough." I heard the captain's muttering. After pondering for a moment, he ordered, "Anchor!" The first speed of battle leaves the current celestial domain, optical interference unfolds, and the approach is ready for battle. We crippled a type4, and the rest of the one, let's kill it with dignity! ”

"Drink!" The crowd echoed in unison.

For the first time, I felt the ...... that belonged to the battlefield in this cosmic battlefield where I could not see the enemy Blood!

Even if you can't see the enemy, you can imagine the instantaneous change of the battlefield, but what if it's a close battle? It felt like it was going to be dangerous, but I was looking forward to it more and more......
