Chapter 61: Defense Units in the Sky

What do you do

If they don’t show an opening?

Point Allocation (Defend)

As the battle sent treh the sixth basement of Okutama She occasionally placed exhaustion recovery char its re poould fully rotate around and vanish She co and she finally arrived in the cargo area that filled the 16th wide block

Unlike the larger specialized cargo areas in the first port and starboard shi+ps, this was a standard Musashi+ cargo area that used the same space as any of the wide blocks She used a password key to pass through the wooden bulkhead door that was used in place of a guard station and she i inside The only others inside were Marube-ya staff who had the sa and narrow floor was filled with Musashi+-style wooden containers that had been shoved inside from the hatch on the stern end All of the student merchants opened the access hatches on the top of one of the containers

“Oh, Heidi! Sorry for calling you here, but come look at this!”

They pointed inside from above

Heidi tilted her head and wondered what it was as she climbed the ladder on the side and spoke to the others

“Lord Howard gave us this, didn’t he? Isn’t it the so-called present he gave us just before the Musashi+ left port?”

“Judge That’s right, but what is it?”

Everyone got down on hands and knees to look inside froain One only needed to peer in frorain, coal, or soo that would spill out as soon as the side was opened shi+rojiro had already checked through everything, but he had not said anything about this and he was currently out on business

“Well, if I don’t know, I can always ask him So what is it?”

Everyone peered in at once, but there was no need to ask as contained inside

“Rocks?”

The container was filled with rocks about the size of a child’s head and the others looked troubled

“It’s true rocks are valuable on the Musashi+ Some people say they need them to make pickled foods But still”

“We aren’t supposed to pour them down on people in battle, are we?”

Heidi listened to all their ideas and frowned

“That glasses man!”

…Oh, but shi+ro-kun checked over it

“Then it ht!?”

“Did someone brainwash you, Heidi!?”

“You just don’t understand,” she complained with a snort, but she still tilted her head

What were these rocks good for?

After a sudden vertical vibration, one of the others hit his head on the ceiling

“That was an attack fronize the sound from Mikawa”

That un!”

Adele watched the attack by the eneo Caballero is a fa the experience

Tres España’s God of war squadron formed units of three and attacked with five such units

Of the three, two rotated between attacker and assister and the third acted as the controller and leader whoinfore while two others covered for them and they set up a rotation of roles as well The final re unit covered for the fire primarily came in the form of sniper shots

The continued rotation of the attacks eliht indefinitely

…They’ve clearly been well-trained

The fighters of other nations’ academies would often act in teao as far as to eat and bathe together Their acadeether and those lovely young“Alcalá de Henares! Weour smiles are!” Adele felt that was a bit different from how the horrible people in her class acted They were so defenseless that Naruze would ay doujinshi+ about them in an instant

And as they attacked, the Musashi+ focused on defending It was said defense was easier than offense, but that was not necessarily the case After all, everyone here was inner Just like at Mikawa, the most they could do was track the shells and Gods of ith capture spells and then intercept the

It was an entirely defensive fight, but they had a plan

Neshi+nbara had yet to arrive, but receiving his assistance via divine transe help In truth, Adele was neither a coist She was only in command due to the process of eli these past few hours I’ out on the battlefield was easier on her mind, even if it was not easier on her body

Currently, she atching the enee

However, they were not yet perfectly handling those Gods of war The Holy Spell chaff was still clinging to the Musashi+, so the autoh their sharedhandwritten ather and transht Adele before asking a question to “Musashi+no”

“When do you think the ill render the chaff ineffectual?”

“Judge This is only my personal estimation, but I would say twenty y until then was to wait, but there was so they could do before that: defend, endure, and persevere Afterwards, their efforts would be repaid with a chance to attack

…Either e can’t move until we sink the San Martín

Adele waited for their chance with nervous sweat appearing on her forehead She raised her right hand to give a coht be a little too into this

“Not er now”

While the Musashi+ settled into defense, the Tres Españan God of war squadron wore down those defenses and confirmed the location of their forces

“B2 leader to Base1 It’s no use The water on the botto up too thickly They see the thickness in the areas we approach A shi+p’s cannon could probably get through, but with ours, we need to split apart the water for a direct hit or it won’t get through”

“Testament, Gran Muñeca unit This is Base1 They most likely have lookouts, so please attack the co theh”

“A1 leader to C leader, please swap us out with A2 My left knife is about to break, but we’re in a bad position We’ll remain until the last second, so have theot a lock on me!”

“C leader here Testanated course to attack the first starboard shi+p fronated position”

“A2 leader here Testaet to watch hiot proonna let you just sit around”

“It’s better than being prohed and continued exchanging divine transht

“It’s about time we had a serious discussion …How’s their air defense? Has anyone been stupid enough to check?”

“Testa It seee It inally developed as anti personnel spells We should be fine as long as they don’t hit us in the joints or gaps in the armor But be careful about the face You don’t want your sensory devices reflexively shutting down”

“Shut that off, you a?”

“C’ot sensitive skin …Anyhere’s their Technohexen unit? I didn’t like the looks of their attack on the mechanical phoenix unit”

“Those phoenixes caht because they’re used to the beasts of the New World that aren’t on the lookout for an attack Don’t forget that we can h to follow us if we do that”

“Testah to recognize each other by the voice alone

But sometiave a report and that happened now

“C leader to units A, B, and C I’ve calculated the area Musashi+’s defense unit covers and I’eways and hiding behind buildings suggests locals of each area are in charge of defending it It would be best to destroy asteam arrives”

“Wait, wait If we try to fire horizontally, our own fleet will hit us from behind”

“Why didn’t you turn down that promotion?”

“I don’t want to hear that froe …Unit B1, let’s go We’ll approach the second starboard shi+p via 8-2, lower to 150, and attack the surface Scatter at 11 Let’s see if we canthe roads”

“Testaether “Let’s destroy the surface Don’t leave any walls behind Create a pile of rubble and tear a hole in the shi+p”

Adele watched as the God of war squadron lowered its altitude and attacked Tama

Tama was primarily used for diplomacy and trade and its surface area wasflattened by Tres España’s blasting spells

…It’s like they’re saying this is where they’ll land

Currently, containers of ar sent to eways leading underground were sealed off and “Ta the corridors

It would not be an easy place to enter fro anywhere i to the bridge in the rear are weakest on the second shi+p The bridge is built low so diplomatic shi+ps can erous place for the and flying through the air seeht

“The ene between low-altitude bo attack of descent followed by ascent continued one, two, three, and then a fourth tiravity barriers and defensive forer reports, but Adele was patient

And on the seventh attack, so units, so she swung her right hand forward

“3rd special duty officer! Please handle this!!”

“Judge!!”

Several figures flew out from Musashi+’s inner hull

They were black Technohexen

They flew out before the transport route’s side hatch could fully open and they stood on the outside of the hull as if flipping themselves around They already had acceleration spells prepared on their brooms or other weapons

“Herrlich!”

But when they fired, it was not at the ene directly ahead and at the sa the path of the Gods of war attacking the surface froh to target the eneht, so they had decided on an altitude and all fired ahead to draw a straight line

There were twenty-one of them and they each fired a roll of coins worth one thousand yen The horizontal barrage created by those people and that currency fleard the six eneht arm was hit

They had been hit

Of the two that took direct hits, one had the scatter shot of coins bite into its wing expansion mechanism which caused the God of war to tu which accelerated the tu was bent the wrong hen it struck the deck and the entire machine fell off the inner side of the shi+p

The other one that received a direct hit received no actual dae because the coins hit its arht arm lost control of the rifle that arm held

A shot hit the first God of war in the back of the left thigh, but it still maintained its posture With no concern for appearances, it immediately evacuated upwards

However, the one that had fired the shot stoppedfor an instant and that was a mistake

The anti-air fire of the defense unit focused its fire on that one which had ended its three-dimensionalback at low-altitude, so the gaps in its armor were opened hen viewed from below A metal spear was accelerated into its sto

After its arth left its body, the God of war fell into ee of the shi+p

That o defeated

But someone took action after the repeated losses to the God of war unit: C Leader who acted as the unit’s leader

He rapidly ascended to a safe area out of range of the Technohexen

He looked down to check on the Musashi+ frorasp on the ene toward hi from below the shi+p and up the outer hull
