Planet 10 of the Solar System, Thunder-Letan Celestial Domain.

The SDF fleet of the Federal Special Space Force, Battleship Zero Exelion.

"Dut......... Honk......... Honk............! ”

With the sound of a rapid alarm, a blue battleship suddenly jumped out of space and returned to the real universe.

"Deputy Commander, how many more battleships have survived?"

An old man with a white beard and a navy uniform was sweating profusely and shouted loudly.

“……… Report to the captain, only this ship survived............! ”

"Where's the mechanical weapons unit?"

“……… Almost all of them are wiped out. ”

"How can this be ......!"

Hearing the adjutant's report, the old captain clenched his fists, slammed the armrest, and gritted his teeth.

"Our fleet has gathered the elite of EOT, and it has been forced into such a desperate situation......... Damn cosmic monsters, I didn't expect them to be so close to humans! ”

Thinking back to the encounter that had just happened, the old captain still had a lingering feeling at the moment, their fleet was originally responsible for patrolling and searching the outer edge of the solar system. But he didn't expect to suddenly encounter an army of cosmic monsters, and the old captain had to choose to jump when he was caught off guard, and the result was ......... Under the attack of the cosmic monster, it is still a step slower.

And at this moment, the adjutant's voice came again.

"Captain, gravitational fluctuations detected!!"

Before the adjutant could finish speaking, he saw that in the next moment, hundreds of cosmic monsters suddenly appeared not far behind the Exhelion. These cosmic monsters are huge, hundreds of meters in size, and almost every cosmic monster is comparable to a battleship, and at this moment, Exelion can be said to have no choice.

"Captain, we must choose to retreat!"

"No!! If we retreat, they will know where the Earth is!! ”

The old captain decisively rejected the adjutant's proposal.

"We've got to find a way to stop these damn monsters!! Full door lock on to the target and ready to fire! Even if we die here, we must not let these monsters know where the earth is! ”

With the old captain's order, the blue battleship slowly turned around and aimed at the cosmic monster group not far away.

And the three mechs hovering around the blue battleship are also ready for battle.

At the same time, the flagship of the Inquisition expeditionary fleet ——— the Three Little Pigs.

"Woo..............."

Standing in the tactical command room, Arcot stared at the star map in front of him. This galaxy is completely foreign to the Inquisition, so the first thing Arch did when he came here was to open a map. She had sent four reconnaissance fleets to scout and search the surrounding area.

But for Echot, it still made her nervous.

"Sister Akot, let's have something to eat."

At this moment, Bambi and Kura rode in on a soul jellyfish, and then Bambi lifted the tray and placed a sandwich and black tea in front of Arcot.

"Thank you, thank you......... Bambi. ”

"You haven't rested in days, Sister Akot, it's almost time to take a break."

"I, I can still hold on."

Akot shook her head.

"This is the first assignment given to me by Uncle Inquisitor, and I must not let him down."

"That's what I said, but you're trying too hard."

At this time, Shizuka also walked in, looked at Akot and sighed.

"Look at the way you look now, you haven't had any trouble yet, and if you get tired and something suddenly happens, who do you expect to take your place? We don't have any experience commanding fleets. ”

"I, I'm not going to fall!"

"You're not a robot, how can you not fall......... Looking at the way you look now, it's like you're going to collapse and vomit blood at any moment, and I advise you to go and sleep, because there's nothing ............... right now."

"Toot Toot Toot !!"

However, before Shizuka's words were finished, she suddenly remembered a rapid alarm sound, which made Akot, who was still a little dizzy, suddenly widen her eyes and looked at the star map.

"Target detected?? Ay? Located at the edge of the A3 galaxy......... Is it a battle?? ”

As she said to herself, Arcot quickly turned on the video of the combat area, and then she saw a blue battleship and several robots fighting on the screen. And what they are facing is.........

"Wow, what the hell, this is disgusting."

Looking at those huge, bloated, meteorite-sized insects, Shizuka suddenly shuddered.

"This thing is uglier than the Reaper!"

Anyway, the reaper also has a kind of metalwork beauty, and this insect gives people the feeling that no one in the universe can see it anyway, and it can grow casually.........

"A human fleet on one side, and an unknown cosmic creature on the other? At this time, woo......... In accordance with the rules of the Trial Chamber........."

Muttering, Arcot flipped through the notebook in her hand.

"Ah, the enemies of the Inquisition are aliens, heretics, and demons............ Should this be an alien or a demon? ”

"Whatever it is, it's certainly not human."

Shizuka couldn't help it at this time, she was also a member of the court, so she naturally knew the rules of the court. However, Shizuka didn't have so many concerns as Akot, and gave a straightforward answer.

"We'll talk about the classification later, let's strike first!"

"Ah, right......... Then the 3rd Assault Force is ready to go to the A3 galaxy theater and prepare for battle! ”

It was a tough battle for the Excellion.

No, it's a battle to the death.

The cosmic monsters that rushed towards them were overwhelming, and even if the battleship with only one thing left, even if it fired with all its might, it would not be able to do much effective damage to those cosmic monsters that were nearly a hundred meters in size.

"Report, we're running out of ammunition!"

"No way......!"

Hearing this, the old captain gritted his teeth.

"Maximize the power of the retraction furnace! If it doesn't work, we'll crash into it! ”

For the old captain, this was the last resort. The Axelion Furnace is their most technologically advanced device, a special power device that uses the singularity generated by the gravitational field of two miniature black holes to release energy as a power source, and if it is severely overloaded, it will create a temporary black hole.

I'm not sure how useful this will be, but I'm sure it should at least be enough to destroy most of the cosmic monsters here.

"Understood, the retraction furnace overload began......... 80%……… 90%……… 100%……… 110%…………！ ”

"All hands are ready to ..............."

Just when the old captain made up his mind and was about to give the final order, suddenly, a flash of light appeared in the universe without warning.

“———————！”

The dazzling beams of light flashed and shot directly into the cosmic monsters, and they easily pierced through the incomparably hard bodies of the cosmic monsters, turning them into huge fireballs that exploded one by one in the blink of an eye. Where the beam swept through, a series of explosions followed, and in a matter of moments, all the cosmic monsters that surrounded Axelion were annihilated.

"W-what's going on?"

Seeing this scene, the old captain was also stunned.

"Report, unidentified fleet figure detected!"

"Go to the screen now!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the big screen in front of everyone's eyes turned, and then ......... They saw several splendid warships of strange shapes appearing in them.

"......... that?"

The old captain looked at his lieutenant suspiciously, who shook his head.

"We don't have any information in our database!"

As he spoke, he saw that those cosmic monsters also began to move, and they seemed to find this new enemy more difficult to deal with, so they hurriedly changed direction and pounced towards the mysterious fleet. However......... The attacks of these cosmic monsters had no effect on that fleet.

The old captain could see that in the face of the attack of the cosmic monsters, the warships of that fleet had unfurled a strange shield, only to see the cosmic monsters out, so that no matter whether the cosmic monsters launched light balls or rays, or directly hit their bodies, they could not break through the defenses of that fleet, and in turn, the other party stayed in the shield, leisurely pouring beams and cannonballs on the cosmic monsters, and in just a moment, hundreds of cosmic monsters were directly swept away by the other party.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a technical ..............."

The old captain couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this scene, of course he knew how powerful this technique was, in fact, one of the reasons why his fleet was attacked by cosmic monsters and almost wiped out was also like this. The cosmic monster not only has powerful firepower, but even releases a lot of extremely fast small bugs, these little bugs will use their own bodies to hit the battleship, because the humans in this galaxy have not pointed out the technology of the battleship shield, so the battleship here can only use structural resistance in the face of this kind of attack......... Then it was blown up directly by the other party.

“……… Reach out to them right away to thank them and ask for their identity. ”

Although he didn't know who the other party was, the old captain was still relieved, and then immediately gave the order. Either way, the other side saved themselves from fire and water, at least for now, they should not be their enemies, huh...............

The old captain's gaze lingered for a moment on the huge skull on the other side's battleship.

Shouldn't it be?

"Report, the other party did not respond."

At this moment, the adjutant's words came again, which made the old captain's heart sink suddenly. Could it be that these warships are not their companions?

However, just when the old captain became nervous again, he saw those battleships directly turn their bows, and then disappear into the cosmic starry sky in the blink of an eye.

Call............... It seems that the other party simply doesn't seem to have any contact with him.

Seeing these battleships leaving, the old captain breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, the current Exelion has almost completely lost its combat effectiveness, if the other party has anything to think of them......... It's good that there isn't.

"Hoo ..............."

At the same time that the old captain breathed a sigh of relief, Echo, who had been monitoring the battlefield in real time, also breathed a sigh of relief, and the Shizuka next to him was inexplicable.

"What are you nervous about? You saved someone, didn't the other party thank you? Why don't you say a few words? ”

"I, I don't know what to say, and Uncle Inquisitor says that in this state of affairs, the Inquisition is not a good place to show up in the outside world......... I'm a little worried about whether I'm doing something wrong........."

"Hey......... I don't think there's a problem with that, the guy actually ......... Well, I don't think it's a big problem. Anyway, you can go relax and rest, Bambi, Kura, take her back to her room to rest, look at her like this, if she stays any longer, she will pass out on the spot. ”

"Understood!"

Hearing Shizuka's order, Bambi and Kura immediately raised their hands, and then the two little ones jumped off the soul jellyfish and grabbed Akot.

"Let's go, Sister Akot."

"Huh? But the battlefield is ever-changing, and if anything happens..............."

"Alright, alright, the battle is over, isn't it? Sister Arcot, go and rest, we'll let you know if there's anything going on. ”

"But ..............."

After all, Arcette was soft, so she was directly dragged away by the two, and Shizuka also sighed, and then looked at Audrey who was standing aside.

"Didn't you have some telepathy with that guy? Tell him about the situation here, and see if he can do anything, it can't go on like this. ”

"I see, Miss Shizuka."

Hearing Shizuka's complaint, Audrey, who was standing next to her, nodded slightly.

"I'll convey it to the master."
