Chapter 13: Attack on Titan?
(Ask for tickets~)
"Metallic Minerals...... Is it a snack for the ship's wives? ”
Sending off the z16 with a happy smile on his face, Arthur lay back on the bed.
"Fortunately, the 'amount of food' of the Z16 is relatively small, otherwise it would have been a big headache just to provide minerals......
Thinking of the famous foodies in the ship, the corners of Arthur's mouth twitched.
When I used to play the game, I really wanted those guys to come out, but now...... Well, actually, he still really wants to see those few foodies.
There's no way, you eat a lot, and your combat effectiveness is strong.
It's a character that people love and hate.
Shaking his head, Arthur took out a packet of instant coffee from the collector, manually brewed it with hot water, and took a sip.
The original owner of this body liked to drink coffee, which Arthur inherited well.
Now there is no way to make a better coffee, so I can only drink this instant thing.
Not interested in continuing to study the Playboy magazines for the time being, Arthur looked at the pattern on the back of his left hand that he had accidentally noticed just now, and thought to himself.
"Whoever draws this sword is the king of Britain."
This sentence still seems to be echoing in my ears, and it is difficult for people to think that it is just a dream.
Arthur has experienced enough unscientific things, and now he can accept any kind of thing, including this kind of supernatural event.
The pattern on the back of the left hand is always real, right?
"What kind of secrets do you hide...... Ship mother? A sword in the stone? ”
Stroking the back of his hand, Arthur's mind was full of thoughts.
'Boom~! ’
'Poof~! ’
The sudden explosion caused Arthur to squirt out the coffee in his mouth.
"What's going on?!"
Before he had time to clean up the stains on the table in front of him, Arthur quickly got up and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Outside the window, in the darkness of the night, the flash of light is so eye-catching.
Without waiting for Arthur to wonder, the scene that appeared in front of him the next moment made him freeze suddenly, and he was speechless for a while.
Hit by artillery fire, the creature that appeared in the darkness.
"Giants?!"
Blurting out, Arthur looked at the huge steaming figure, and the shock in his heart was like a storm crashing on the shore.
Isn't this familiar creature the giant from the popular anime 'Forbidden Giant' in his previous life?!
"How could it be ......?"
Before Arthur could think about it, another violent roar sounded, and the cannon fire that lit up the sky flashed, and the world covered by the night was clearly presented to Arthur.
Not far in front of the coast where the destroyer stayed, the dense patch was all filled with hideous giants.
The appearance of being skinned, when you look at it in the dark, looks like a demon, which makes people feel terrible.
"Admiral, unidentified creatures have been discovered."
At this time, the voice of Z16 sounded in Arthur's ears.
The schoolboy looked at Arthur with a serious look on his face, dressed in a military uniform, and while he was also distractedly manipulating the surrounding turrets to strike at the giants who tried to jump onto the destroyer.
“…… Why aren't these guys there during the day? ”
Arthur asked, a little puzzled, as he looked at the giants illuminated by the Z16 turning on the lights.
"During the day they seem to be in a state of suspended animation, so the search system doesn't find it. I'm sorry, Admiral. ”
The elementary school student looked remorseful, as if he was blaming himself for not being careful.
But Arthur didn't think so.
Destroyers are not good at reconnaissance in the first place, not to mention that the equipment of the Z16 is so backward.
Arthur was already very fortunate to be able to have that state during the day.
After comforting the schoolchildren, Arthur waved his hand and let the Z16 control the destroyer towards the deep sea.
"Don't mess with them until you figure out the situation."
Arthur's eyes lit up as he sat in the driver's seat, watching the radar image in front of him.
Above, a horde of horrific 'giants' of all sizes are howling in search of food.
Groups of native beasts were easily caught by them and then swallowed alive, and the bloody scene made Arthur frown.
Fortunately, another civilization on this planet has become extinct, otherwise if he sees these guys devouring other civilizations, it is estimated that he will be even more uncomfortable.
"What a brutal creature."
This kind of instinctive foraging thing, Arthur naturally would not admit that they were some kind of civilization.
They are beasts, no different from those of the low-IQ beasts, even in human form.
"Admiral, do you want to destroy them?"
"A must!" Arthur gave the order with certainty, "but not now." ”
If you want to take this place completely, you have to wipe out these guys completely.
He doesn't have the slightest affection for those who want to devour his own things.
But he also knew that the other party was a biological race that had destroyed a civilization, even if that civilization was quite backward.
Such a huge ethnic group cannot be completely wiped out by himself and Z16.
"Z16, how much ammunition do we have left?"
"Plenty of ammunition, Admiral!" The schoolboy shouted confidently.
Arthur called up the ammunition depot data of the battleship and took a look, and it was indeed as the elementary school student said, the ammunition was very sufficient, and it was fully capable of supporting the Z16 for a large battle.
"It's a pity that it's this old equipment......"
If it is the most advanced equipment in the Empire, Arthur is confident that with the Z16 alone, he can completely suppress those disgusting giants.
In fact, regular destroyers are inherently high-level weapons of war, and each of them has quite terrifying power.
The most advanced regular destroyers, let alone such a group of uncivilized 'giants', even the 21st century earth where they used to be, have no resistance in the face of this kind of war weapon, and can only wait for death in despair.
This is the destroyer of this era, with only one destroyer, it has a powerful combat power to suppress a lower civilization.
It is not just a matter of saying that mankind can stand at the pinnacle of countless civilizations and rank among the 22 top civilizations.
"Admiral, there's a problem."
The voice of Z16 interrupted Arthur's musings.
The boy looked up, and the image he saw stunned him.
In front of him, on top of the hologram, a 'giant' who was originally hit by a shot by Z16 and was severely injured was now wrapped in countless steam, and the injuries on his body were also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Overdrive?"
His brow furrowed, and Arthur's heart became a little heavier.
It's really an unexpected and difficult creature, no wonder it can exterminate a civilization.
"Hmm...... Wait," suddenly thinking of something, Arthur asked Z16 to recall the image just now, watched it in silence, and raised his head: "Z16, try to attack the back of their neck." ”
If memory serves, the weakness of those guys......
"Yes, Admiral!"
The schoolboy received the order, and with a wave of his hand, the guns on both sides of the destroyer automatically turned.
The angle is determined, and the launch is launched!
With a roar, two shells shot into the sky, instantly spanning countless distances and hitting accurately...... No, it's rubbing.
Following Arthur's orders, under the control of the schoolboys, two cannonballs grazed the back of the necks of the two giants at the same time, accurately destroying the back of the opponent's neck, but there was no harm elsewhere.
The ability to control terror.
You know, at such a distance, those giants are not live targets, but constantly moving fast, which is like a proverb in the previous life - anti-aircraft guns fight mosquitoes.
In this situation, it can accurately hit such a small place, and the existence of z16 is indeed a bug.
Arthur didn't know what the gunners of human civilization were like, but he believed that even the best gunners of human civilization with the most advanced artificial intelligence might not be able to compare to the schoolchildren standing in front of him.
"How?"
Staring nervously at the two giants that had been hit above the projection, Arthur felt nervous.
If it was really the same as he thought, things seemed to be much simpler.
"Admiral, their vital features are gone!"
The schoolboy's voice rang out, and Arthur saw the two giants in the projection fall down with a pop and not move.
"Sure enough!" With a slight smile, Arthur clenched his fists hard.
But the next moment, he was even more painful.
"Does this prove that these guys are those 'giants'? It's really tangled......"
Looking at the countless 'giants' on the screen, Arthur sighed, and his head grew for a while.
What kind of world is this world?
It seems that it is a little beyond his imagination.
