"This is—"

In the bridge of the command ship of the Three Expeditions to Spain, Fang Rong, who was holding a light plate in one hand, frowned.

Just as they were carrying out the firefighting operation on the Musashi ship as if they were digging out of their own pockets, they were also carrying out several actions to use it as cover. Is that......

"Minister! The large wooden box that the members were riding in was moving dramatically from the starting position to the rear! Immediately, he understood the meaning of what the control department members were saying, and indeed in his sight, the wooden box carrying the department members flowed towards this side at the same time. The reason is ......

"Has the conveyor belt that allowed the large wooden box to move through the air been cut off......

The thick rope loops that hold the large wooden boxes continue to move backwards, backwards, and lefts, as if the gaps between the ships and the ships are rolled up. The rope loop was cut by the crew of Musashi.

"Which ship did you attach the front end to, and if you cut off the rear end—"

However, due to the inertia of the advancing ship, the severed section floated from the rear.

And on that floating leash......

"Minister! - The enemy is coming! ”

On the thick rope that began to make its way here, the students of Musashi sprinted.

"It's Musashi's commando."

At the moment when his identity was confirmed, Fang Rong gave instructions: "Track and Field Department, retreat-!!" ”

In response to her voice, the track and field crew members on the large wooden box did not hesitate to throw themselves into the air, and their target position was the air outside the Musashi ship and between ships. The high-speed detachment was achieved by using the holy charm to reduce the falling speed until it was close to the surface, and in order to scoop them up, the two fleets of the baseball department on the port side began to descend.

But. Through a large wooden box that no one has left. Students from Musashi came.

"It's coming! They want to have a ship-to-ship battle on this ship!! ”

"Right judgment." Fang Rong commented in his heart.

Front. At the forefront of the Rushing Group, who ran up without suspecting the target, I am afraid that it was the people from Mikawa's guard. By letting them go ahead, they can make followers who are not accustomed to fighting imitate them to make correct judgments.

Until now, Musashi's attacks have been centered on the shooting of the air force and the defense of the protective shield team. But that reason is......

"In order to use the severed towbelt as a bridge to invade this place, let the commandos standby.

In the face of an attack from this side, only the defending forces can withstand the initial attack, after which the assault forces will launch a counterattack. Although this is only a basic tactic, it also shows that Musashi has someone who can immediately make a judgment on our side that is located above.

There was no panic. There are no miracles on the battlefield. Only basic applications and innovative applications that respond to certain situations and environments. If you don't know what to do about this as a miracle, you should be ready to run away and admit defeat, and the same is true for now.

The tow belt was a spare piece of equipment that Musashi had in reserve, and it was supposed to be cut off on a temporary basis in order to approach the port of call called the United Kingdom.

…… Thinking of such an intrusion, and of course considering the initial damage to the ship caused by letting the assault team standby, this is a military advisor who will not be lured by what is in front of him......"

"Well-there is a value to remember. Well, Aaron, I'll go too. In the cross-shaped box that was indicated, Takashi smacked his tongue.

"Fang Rong. In short, try to keep the baseball crew on this ship as much as possible from the opposite side. You can get to the surface right away, but it's not likely that the ghost will be able to go outside during the day. ”

"Aaron doesn't usually go outside all the time?"

"I'm even getting a tan. It's okay too. ”

“Tes.Tes。” Fang Rong smiled. However, in an instant, she changed into a serious expression and said to the people on the bridge: "Unfold the ship's gun door!" Due to the reduction in ammunition due to the bombardment, the shield team on the opposite side is slowly attacked at certain intervals. The policy is not to inflict damage on the urban area, but to divide the defense of the people on the other side.

At the same time, the ship reached a safe position, behind Ariadust, and shelled the school building at the same interval.

Aaron, the deck will be handed over to you, and I will tell the three people inside to leave immediately. ”

Everyone in the bridge turned to look at Fang Rong, who was straightening his hair behind.

"Tes. - Good way, Minister!" The female managers, who were the crew members of the bridge, smiled and saw Fang Rong away.

However, their smiles didn't last long and disappeared immediately. Because beyond the shelling and the sounds of fighting outside, new sounds appeared.

The new sound was not made in the middle of the battlefield. The direction of the proceeds is not so much the Musashi side, but the sound that sounded from the Musashi body**.

The eight ships that make up Musashi, which are sailing towards the United Kingdom, suddenly begin to sound bells and alarms.

On the bridge in front of the Ariadust Academy, which has been turned into a command post, stands an auto-humanoid who is "Musashi".

Dressed in a maid's suit, she didn't pay attention to the shelling that was still being dropped from the enemy's command ship all the way to the back of the Academy, nor did she mind stopping the light that appeared one after another on the gravitational barriers.

"Next, in accordance with the intentions of Lord Neshinhara, Musashi will transition to gravity sailing. When you're ready, get out of this battle airspace.

The power management of the whole ship was changed to general control. Control was transferred to Musashi. - Above. ”

As if repeating her words, several rays of light appeared in front of Musashi's eyes. It was the eight blue rays of the ship's shape. The light represents each ship, and the additional display box shows the automatic humanoid who is the captain of each ship. They nodded at the same time.

"Gravity sailing preparation. Control was transferred to Musashi. - Above. ”

Then, the model of the eight ships in front of Musashi moved.

First of all, the rear of Okutama is represented by a red dot representing Musashi, and a light green ribbon is used to connect the green dots representing the central part of each ship.

"Ensure total control. - Above. ”

While Musashi spoke, the shape of the Yashipe model changed, turning into flower beds.

Then, the flowers in the flower bed bloomed.

In an instant, the model of the eight ships resembled eight flower beds blooming from flowers formed by fluid light.

A flower bed is about fifty centimeters wide and about one and a half meters long. Although it is a small flower bed, the flowers and its dense density bloom to assert oneself.

"Musashi" faces the flower beds and gently opens his hand.

"For each ship, the reserve pool of the fluid fuel storage tank is 12% open. - Above. ”

Then, just as Musashi finished speaking, it rained in the flower bed.

Bathed in the blue-white glow, all the flowers excitedly stretched out their stems and leaves, as if they were seduced by the growth.

"Gravity sails, auxiliary preparations begin. - Above. As if repeating her words, the entire Musashi suddenly shook as if it were trembling.

The Musashi Eight ships were vibrating, and the structure, internal mechanisms, various circulation routes, and reinforcement techniques for filling the air conditioners and key parts of the structure were activated by the supply of fluids, and the strength of Musashi was increased by the form of vibration.

Generally speaking, the strength of a ship does not depend solely on the rigidity of the structure. Because a ship as large as Musashi would rub against the hull and deform even if it was turned around, it was necessary to have soft elasticity. For this reason, each Musashi ship uses a lot of gaps and movable structures to ensure flexibility.

However, now, those movable parts are reinforced with fluid supply and public enhancement techniques. The lubrication of the movable parts strengthens the friction, and the structure also increases the hardness through defensive techniques.

These changes produced a shock that shook Musashi as proof of reinforcement.

Correspondingly, the rain of the flower bed of "Musashi" stopped.

"Please confirm. - Above. As he spoke, several boxes appeared on the flower bed.

That is a confirmation of the many important things that the ships have done so far.

Power, stability, people's safety, and the safety of atmospheric circulation are not conclusions that can be drawn on the spot. It's all just beginning, so it's just a matter of confirmation.

"'Tama', there is a cat lying on the road in Rokubanyokocho. - Above. ”

"Jud., there's already a professional to make sure of it. Four, three, two - ensured. Now it is judged that the road safety of the whole ship has been ensured. - Above. ”

“Jud。” "Musashi" nodded in acknowledgement.

"So, now on...... The ship began to move towards gravity navigation. Depending on the open remaining fluid supply, the use time is thirty-two seconds. The purpose is to disengage from the current realm and to confirm the state of gravity navigation.

Each ship has shifted from the usual navigation system "Desert Wave" to the gravity navigation system "Desert Quiet Wind".

Please make sure that the fluid extraction mechanism "Kaza Arima" is fully deployed. - Above. ”

Just as Musashi said this, the flowers in the flower bed next to her moved as if in response to her words. Some of the flowers that formed the row bloom greatly and spread.

"Then, begin the deformation of the gravitational sailing form. After three minutes, it moved to gravity navigation and left its current airspace at full speed. So—"

"Until then, all of you on the Musashi side, please defend yourself as much as you can. - Above. (To be continued......)
