The two indispensable prerequisites for carrying out capture operations are intelligence support and sufficient elite troops. If a warship is the target, the scope of the operation is bound to be limited to the process of local suppression operations. In order to intercept the target's retreat and avoid the target being destroyed or self-detonating in the course of the operation as much as possible, the best combat mode that can be adopted is to carry out simultaneous salvo fire with fleet encirclement, then send high-speed and long-distance mobile models to surround the target, and then take the standard model of auxiliary mobile equipment to carry out a broadside suppression battle.

According to this tactical arrangement, one Deflinger-class armored floating ship carrying 3 squadrons of carrier-based MDS and 3 early warning MDS with a total of 39 MDS can meet all the requirements for troops and firepower. Even if more troops are needed due to objective factors such as the environment, the small fleet of two Deflinger-class plus a vote of U-boats and camouflaged cargo ships still seems to be excessive. The reason for this arrangement is mainly due to the uncertainty of the target ship - Roland and the latest prototype MDS "Unicorn".

Originally conceived as a high-end model that "set the standard for next-generation MDS development" at any cost, for the first time, the designers of Alfheim were able to put the most cutting-edge technology available into the model without budget constraints, and the result was a fiery horse that almost no one could handle. If Roland hadn't succeeded in achieving the same tune with the unicorn, the whole project would probably end up with the dismantling of the verification machine and the sealing of the relevant verification data. Elven designers have a lot of criticism about how humans can harness their masterpieces, but as long as they prove their success, they don't care about more. And when the defense force began to arrange the fog reef airspace interception operation, the defense force, which boasted of combining high-precision technology and one, suddenly found that once the monster body with armament, output and even surpassed some general-level MDS was dispatched, and there were actually few planes on hand that could compete with one of them, the staff officers suddenly felt that things were in trouble.

Thankfully. Most validation projects don't produce just one test machine, and the same is true for unicorn projects.

Paired with the white unicorn is a black lion with a golden mane called the Banshee.

Its exclusive Xiangshi is named -

＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃

On closer inspection, the falling "black unicorn" is not really a single horn, with golden bumps like cockscombs or horsehair overlapping along the midline. It not only feels brightly colored, but also awe-inspiring.

"Leave it to me here, please continue to command the round-up operation. ”

A cold voice came along the radio, and Roland's eyes widened in surprise when he heard something he hadn't heard for a long time.

Although he knew that "he" was a member of the pro-guard team, and knew that if he was intercepted, the other party would be an elite unit with top loyalty and combat effectiveness, Roland did not expect to meet him again here in this form.

It seems to have insight into the confusion in Roland's heart. Or feeling offended, Freya snorted, and the lightning nightingale pushed the unicorn away. When the two planes separated, they aimed at Roland's defenseless abdomen and rewarded him, and with the help of force, the bright red body broke away from the battle and galloped towards the Endeavour. The words "You're really bad-hearted" lie between the two planes, one black and one white.

"Wait a minute!"

"If you want to get back to the women, you have to get through me first. ”

"Caspar. You ......"

"Let me say first, this is not a competition. Nor is it communication. I'm not going to show mercy. ”

A cold voice like a mechanical operation came along the communication circuit, and a golden light shone between the cracks in the black MDS armor that confronted Roland.

"In honor of the Guard, I, Caspar Georgsky, and the 'Banshee' will not let you continue to act recklessly. ”

In less than 0.1 seconds, the "black unicorn" pulled out his lightsaber and slashed it head, and at the last moment, Roland forced the high-heat particle beam in front of him with a beam sword gear. Two beams of light that bite each other release a continuous wave of heat. The thunder generated by the interference and conflict of each other completely illuminates the black body. The diabolical black steel mask and the face of a childhood friend seemed to overlap in the glare, and unrealistic feelings of anxiety and absurdity kept coming up from the soles of the feet.

Caspar. After experiencing the great changes in his childhood, the first non-human friend he met in the moment of life and death. When he was in Yalfheim, he was also the hardest friend and a competitor who made progress together.

At the age of 12. Roland left Alfheim and traveled around the country. From then on, the trajectory of their lives began to drift apart, and Roland was happy from the bottom of his heart when he learned that Caspar had become a member of the elite guard. And yet, now—

The icy breath pierced through the armor and poured all over Roland. It is a stubbornness and arrogance that cannot tolerate the opinions of others, and it makes people feel that they cannot talk to it. The strong will acted on the brain quantum wave sensing frame, turning into physical pressure and pushing the two beam swords towards Roland little by little.

"Why is this happening? If you have such doubts now, if not a lack of imagination, then it can only prove—"

The jet of light behind the Banshee suddenly increased, and the propulsion, mass, and roar of her friends overlapped and pressed down on Roland.

"You're just a kid who doesn't grow up!"

"What?!"

Releasing the impact early, Roland pulled into Caspar's side and pulled out another beam sword from the back pylon, slashing at the Banshee's back propulsion module.

"Thinking of stopping the war, preventing the ruler of that adult from coming, preventing the world from moving forward according to the signposts of history - let this impulse dictate the action, isn't it a child?!"

The two beams staggered again, withstanding Roland's slash, and Caspar roared back.

"Driven by childish feelings and ideals, making such a headless behavior is really unbearable!"

"Is growing up, then, to be despicable and shameless? Is it an adult to engage in inhumane human practices and to use these techniques to standardize other races?"

Another lightsaber pressed up, forced to take a step back by the crossed lightsaber, Caspar spat out, set up the shield on his left arm, and the two 3-beam Gatling guns hanging below had already begun to rotate the barrels, and the moment the muzzle was aimed at the unicorn. A rain of scorching particles poured out.

There was no deviation in the aim, and the particle mass that acted as a bullet was almost fired, but there was already a shield blocking the beam of the light bullet, and the multiple armor that formed the shield was centered on the middle cylinder, stretching and sliding in all directions, revealing a flower-like form. The particle projectile appears to be distorted by an invisible pressure before it hits the shield. All the particle bullets are deflected. While maintaining a burst of fire to suppress the unicorn, the Banshee increased her thrust and rushed forward with a lightsaber.

- Just destroy the weapons and propulsion systems.

Reconfirming his target, Caspar closed the distance between him and Roland in one go.

"Even if you are scolded as a despicable villain, you have to protect what you have to protect and promote the innovation that you have to promote, which is what adults do. You who can't give up your moral cleanliness, don't want to dirty your hands, and talk about your ideals are just a stinky little ghost who can't do anything after all!"

At the same time as he roared. The beam sword was still raised high, and at this moment, a strong light that even the anti-glare could not completely filter out exploded in front of his eyes.

- Flashbang.

The moment this term popped up in his consciousness, his body quickly avoided it under the action of the reflex nerve, the heat wave grazed his side, and under the prompt of the radar alarm, Caspar raised his sword and rushed forward. The four conflicting particles erupted into thunder again, and the scorching heat wave evaporated and blew away all the clouds and mist around them.

"There is no dialogue and no coordination. Is it possible for a peace based on unilateral oppression to last? You know best how fierce the resistance of the oppressed is, Caspar? Then there should be a way for both sides to understand and compromise with each other!"

"Your naïve thinking is the problem! Do you understand?!"

Raining down particles again, Caspar suppressed Roland's loud roar.

"Everyone has their own opinions and their own justice, and a hundred people have a hundred kinds of justice and opinions. To merge these disparate and even sharply opposed opinions will only create new antagonisms with those who do not want to merge. I want to completely unify all opinions and make a qiē dispute disappear. Only a god can do this, you see? An arrogant god who does not know mercy is the answer to an end to strife and tragedy!"

In order to make the footsteps of many ordinary people unanimous. It is necessary to have absolute authority and power, in other words, "absolute God". In order to maintain the survival of the whole to the greatest extent, God, who does not know mercy and is deaf to the words of individual people, will mercilessly force the disobedient to submit and let order and peace continue to function.

"This kind of reasoning ......!"

"The ideal of irresponsibility and responsibility, the possibility of speciousness. It's just a new spark of strife! The world doesn't need possibilities!!!!"

The beams of particles staggered dazzlingly, and the exploding thunder light poured spark-like high-heat particles in all directions, and before you knew it, the gold and red phosphorescence that seeped from the gaps in the armor of the two planes were intertwined, and the almost bewitching brilliance swayed the entire space.

＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃＃

"A new wave of enemy forces is approaching from the port side!Quantity 12!"

"Serpentine maneuver! 100 meters away!"

"The enemy is starting to dive! 3 directly above and 2 behind the port side!"

"Unfold the barrage!What are you doing on the port side, the barrage is too thin!!"

Ignoring the repetition, Ruyt's bloodshot eyes stared at the battlefield outside the porthole, and the flames of battle flashing in the fog were so cold and eerie that the air inside the bridge seemed to drop below freezing.

After only three minutes of fighting, the Enterprise was in a precarious position. The enemy is not only strong in ships and guns, but also in the cooperation between combat units and warships, showing a high degree of proficiency - in other words, the opponent is a well-trained elite unit, and knows the weapons in their hands, the implementation of tactical concepts, and the impromptu response to the situation, far better than the novice ship.

"It's not just about equipment......

Muttering quietly, Captain Ruyt felt that the danger was getting closer and closer, and the two battleships in the 65-degree right rudder were about to form a T-shaped crosshead formation against the Endeavour, and after throwing out the command of "left rudder 20, course 280", he pulled the second officer over and whispered:

"You go to the hangar at once, and if necessary, you must let His Highness make the first lifeboat. ”

"Understood, Captain. ”

The second officer nodded vigorously, and was about to walk out of the bridge after saluting, when a young herald called out.

"Oh my God. They're firing again!"

The northeastern sky erupted with several rays of light, and for a moment it was even more brilliant than the sun.

"Calm down!

Ruyter did not intend to reproach the young man, if it was a salvo from his own battleship, the sight could be called spectacular, but if the artillery fire came from an enemy ship, he was the target. Any rookie will panic.

According to the order, the two main turrets of the two Bruno and Caesar in the front of the two D-Fllinger-class battleships made a half-salvo at the same time, and eight 280mm caliber shells weighing 330 kg flew away from the gun chamber at a muzzle velocity of 890 meters per second, conquering a distance of 12 kilometers in more than ten seconds, and a huge pillar of fire rose into the sky, enveloping the Endeavour with flames and debris.

"The enemy ship forms a straddle fire on our ship! Repeat! The enemy ship forms a straddle fire on our ship!"

The sound of the lookout's gaffe echoed in the cabin, but no one cared about the little things anymore. In the face of 280mm caliber shells falling on their side, few people can handle it calmly, especially when they are still staying on a ship that is impossible to effectively return fire. Someone inside the bridge had already begun to whisper prayers. The operators in the cabin may not be able to see the pillars of fire that seem to be touchable by hand, or they may not be able to take care of other things in the harsh working environment, and the orderly repetition of orders can still be heard from the engine room.

However, this did not have any effect on the situation, and the enemy ship fired two consecutive shots in a straddle, and the exploding shells encircled the Endeavour, and maybe the next one would hit. Judging from the power just displayed, even a close miss could cause a tragedy in the destruction of the ship and the death of people.

You can't beat it, and you can't escape it. As for abandoning ship and escaping...... Let's not talk about the honor and self-esteem of soldiers. Releasing a lifeboat with shells flying and enemy ships and magic armor flying all over the sky is close to zero.

"The enemy ship gave a signal. Ask my ship to anchor and stop the ship!"

The message from the watchtower silenced the bridge, if there was still the consciousness of fighting the enemy ship until the last shell, and sinking into the sea with the battle flag held high. Guided bombs, continuous straddle fire, fantastic magical armor - the enemy's deliberate display of absolute superiority has almost blown away the courage of all crew members.

It is not a question of victory or death, it is simply a matter of the enemy's unilateral choice of how to end this qiē. In other words, there is no third answer to the choice between unilateral slaughter and humiliating stealing.

"Ignore it. Continue sailing. ”

The girl's crisp voice resounded across the bridge over Captain Ruyt's somewhat gaunt back, and the crew cast a surprised glance at Minerva, who was standing behind the captain's seat.

Since ancient times, the captain of a ship has been the absolute authority of the gods on the ship, even if the royal family is on the ship. There is also no power to give orders directly to the crew. But at this moment, the girl wearing a green military uniform with gold-rimmed embroidery and a burgundy cloak showed an astonishing spirit that was enough to shock the sailors.

"Your Highness......"

Roland ...... The Governor is still fighting, and I have no reason to give up. ”

Take a deep breath, and your emerald green pupils glow with a resolute hue.

"Surrender is an easy thing, and life is more certain than honor. But I don't want to leave behind my comrades who are fighting, regret my cowardice for the rest of my life, and I don't want to give my life to a group of thieves who don't even show their true identity, and wait until they are killed by the other party to go to Hades to beat their chests and feet for their foolishness. ”

Even if he surrendered, there was no security - understanding what Minerva was trying to say, Ruit suppressed his once wavering heart and stared at the rising pillar of fire outside the porthole.

- Even so, do we have a chance of winning?

Restless self-questions hung on everyone's mind, so much so that few noticed that another young girl had entered the bridge.

Gently kicking open the deck and bulkhead, the spider moved through the cabin with skillful movements, and for her, who had long been accustomed to three-dimensional maneuvers, the gravity-free environment was like a fish in water. Quietly falling behind Minerva, the spider whispered:

"Dendrobium is ready to fire. ”

"Good work. ”

"Although it is a temporary product made from the leftover materials of the 'Unicorn', and no system tests have been done, there is nothing wrong with the operation, and the fit between the Flying Lizard Girl and the 'Wayward Beauty' is higher than expected, and there is no problem in using it to drive away the raiders - at least in theory. ”

The actual effect is completely unguaranteed - munching on the almost irresponsible subtext, Minerva's eyebrows furrow slightly, and then return to a calm appearance.

Even if something is unstable, it has to come and kill a way out. That's true for Endeavour, and it's true for humanity.

(That's what you think too.) ）

Turning her face slightly, the beams of fire intertwined in the distance and the slowly expanding phosphorescent cocoon reflected the girl's emerald eyes.

##########

"2 40mm caliber machine guns 'Bar Corning' with 700 rounds in reserve, 'Vladimir' rockets for large-scale suppression, 4 'Balalaika' 25 30mm rocket pods, 2 detonation cables, and 2 beam combat knives...... Oops, hey, that little master, what kind of monster did he make, and what kind of anti-aircraft firepower and lack of manpower, he sent someone to use it as a turret - this is obviously a war letter for me. ”

Looking at the two "tubes" in her hands that were one section longer than the height of adults, the girl subconsciously remembered that the spears used by knights in the past were both made by humans and weapons of killing, and at this moment she was holding such a thing with an indescribable irony, which made her can't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

The bug carrying the ammunition box on the side couldn't help but complain.

"You've been happy since you started, haven't you? Could it be that the dragons are the opposite of what they say and what they do?"

"Who knows? But since I've been asked, I'm going to do a !!good job."

Valrhona looked up at the MDS group that had begun to dive and accelerate again, carrying a weapon module like a giant white refrigerator, and the dragon princess standing on the upper deck of the Endeavour raised the barrel of her gun high, and the loud laughter and rain of 40mm shells rushed into the sky in one breath. (To be continued......)
