Chapter 41 (2/2)
“Hey Lucas, where is John?”
John is a person who always sarette with Lucas, I wonder where he is?
“Aaー he went to the toilet carrying a o Link-nesan is over there taking care of her nails”
Even though we are free, this is a bit too much! The Captain of Tolstoy and his creere of si and are now leading a land battleshi+p You guys should learn a bit more
While thinking about such things, the main communication terminal installed in the aircraft suddenly made a sound and a lamp which indicates that a cohts up It round troops as usual… I push the button for the co so
“Major Martin here, Captain of Odin What do you want?”
I tilt my head as I did not received the usual “What? This is not a pizza delivery service?” and when I look, there is a woman on the screen with frowned eyebrows
“I am an adjutant to Special Major General, Arakawa Kouki, the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Front I am Lieutenant Colonel, Claire Dauntless Kakka would like to speak with you directly but… it seeant attitude”
Are you kidding me? Arakawa Kouki is the only son of Shuichi-san He should be co Rinkudorubu Empire Why would he talk to a lowly officer likesent to court
“I am sorry! We are always on standby so I became careless”
“Norive a lecture on how to talk to your superior officers… Ma~ guess its fine for now, I a the call to Kakka, please do not be rude in any way”
After saying so, Lieutenant Colonel disappears from the screen and this time, a boy who looks really kind is reflected Since we really respect Shuichi-san we follow hi to a different unit but this boy had a face that resembles Miki-san, so there is no doubt that he is Kouki-kun
“This is Major Martin Achenbach, Captain of Odin! It is an honor to meet you”
“This is Arakawa Kouki You don’t have to be stiff, be at ease, I do not mind”
As I was told “Please Relax”, I decided to stand upright with“Try to sit down and cross your legs”, so I make a note in my heart to definitely beat him up later
“There is no doubt that Major is the commander of the new Ground Attack Aircraft, correct?”
“Yes The Ground Attack Aircraft, Odin, is under my command”
Kouki-kun satisfyingly nods in ned Odin, could it be that he just want to knoho are using his designed aircraft While I ondering about that, the boy who is shown on the screen gave us an unexpected order with a smile on his face
“Using my authority as Major General, I have an order for your unit The Ground attack Aircraft – Odin is to sortie as soon as possible and support the Kingdo in Merkava battlefront We received intel froe siege weapon’ is expected to appear in the battlefront YourOdin”
“Why provide us reat importance…”
I need to clear my mind first I will receive ‘lecture’ fro the Major General but I cannot understand why he is giving us such a big role for this battle If he wants to, he can use his authority for all the power suits and fighter aircrafts which is on standby in Noah Island to attack I kept silent while waiting for an
for an answer and he reply again with a smile on his face
“Isn’t it cool? Won’t it be such a roround attack aircraft e weapon Besides, Major should be getting tired of being on standby? I can understand since I was also detained on the Island just recently You do not need to worry and just go”
I was speechless for a moment on Kouki-kun’s words but I was able to quickly come back to iving us the opportunity to get back on the other units who looks down on us if we make this rescue mission successful They will not be able to call us useless and waste of money anymore after that
Lucas who realized what is happening quickly began checking the equipments John and Link who also overheard the conversation are now getting the flight gear for everyone in the hangar After confirht, I straightened
“I will definitely e weapon of the enemy”
I do not know if he will be satisfied with this reply but Kouki-kun nodded twice and said “Yoroshi+ku Onegaishi+ his head to so off the communication I was overwhelm by his compassion to his subordinates He kinds of remind be of Shuichi-san My heart is now excited for the upco while (TN: Yoroshi+ku Onegaishi+masu is one of those japanese words that don’t have a specific English translation It is a word concept which is hard to define in English thus it co on how you use it in a sentence Here are the different English Translations of Yoroshi+ku Onegaishi+masu ‘Be kind to me’, ‘I am in your debt’, ‘please help me’, ‘Please take care ofon you’ In this sentence, Kouki is using the one with the ‘I a)
“Major, ill arrive at the airspace of the battlefield in a little while”
“Say the exact time instead of ‘a little while’!”
The operator, Link, gave us report so I was not happy but I around troops We tried sending a lot of communication all at once but it seeo down
“To be exact, it is about 2to HQ in Noah Island, there is no way to contact the ground troops What should we do?”
I don’t know even if you ask , we cannot decide on which one to attack if there is no request froround troops Should ait in the sky until weofficer Lucas reported with a loud voice
“I’ve sighted the ‘large siege weapon’ that was expected to appear Let shoot it down instead of waiting, since ere told to beat the crap out of it after all, it should be fine”
“Wait! It will be bad if we shoot that thing while friendly forces are around it”
Lucas who did not received peret scope while co in the current situation If we shoot and involved allies on the dae, then ill not be able to face Kouki-kun who shows his complete trust on us
If only there is a way to infor… That’s it! I can use the lesson that I learned when I was still studying in the officer training school
“Link, get all the frequency used in the battlefield and send a one way transround troops of our mission”
Link i Odin’s Information System which also function as an air traffic control device I use the microphone and the headset
“Can you hear me? The noise is terrible Can you all hearthis e via one-way transmission on all frequencies This is ‘Ground Attack Aircraft – Odin’, we rush to the rescue under the command of the special Major General Forces that need assistance, please use the infrared strobes to inforiant until further instructions are given”
This should be good enough What is left is to separate the ene the siege weapon by using non-lethal rubber bullets but if it falls into a hu then they will surely receive fatal injuries The probleht about it, I ordered John the co-pilot while grinning
“Lower the flight altitude and fly around the siege weapon Once Odin which has a huge body length of 100 round, the Eet scared and run away”
“Roger! Time to do my best”
After circling around the battlefield, we accelerate and lower the nose as if we are going to thrust towards the ground Once we have enough speed… 1000 kilometers per hour… we reach Mach 08 and fly 5 round I check the external camera and saw the I sound froe
However, this alone is not enough We are considered as ‘elite’ even aic boned by the genius Kouki
“Link, Lucas Did you tightly strap your seatbelt?
strap your seatbelt? We will do a somersault!”
“Major, I’ve beento say this from quite some time Are you an idiot!? A bo an air stunt like Woooooooooooah”
Ignoring the words of Lucas, I raise the nose of Odin at once As it was rising at a right angle and turning backwards,the tanks on our inverted sight I turn on the microphone of the headset, place it nearfun on the unit of Odin
“Look closely you Tank Morons! You always scoffed at us as a Pizza Shop but we are the one who can knock off that giant!”
Many things are scattered inside the Odin due to our acrobatic stunt but no one cares about it Odin is now flying nor the opponent that caused all our tanks to withdraw
“Lucas, use the Gatling Cannon to destroy the siege weapon of the enemy Don’t hold back Reain, so you can also use all 20 cannon to crush it”
“Roger”
With et scope and ai Cannon in addition to 120mm cannon and h power heavy artillery equipped on the tanks and power suit but these has great advantage over them Tank cannons can only do asthe auto device up to acannon, it can fire 3,900 shots per minute and since we have 20 of those… if you do simple calculation, that is a total of 78,000 shots per ic barrier that can repel tank cannons, ill happen if all of our shots hit continuously in the same spot── the result should be obvious
“Open Fire!”
The whirring sound which is peculiar to Gattling Cannon is can be heard and the 36e weapon In the first 3 seconds,a purple light thingy at the spot being hit but after 5 seconds the shells started to land hits without any resistance and the rain of bullets scooped out the shoulder of the giant humanoid
“The legs! We can stop its s We can destroy it slowly after it rolls to the ground”
The upper body of the giant was left in tatters because LucasWhen the legs were destroyed, it fell down on its spot and as soon as that happen we rain down bullets from the sky on its head to the toes Its appearance becaround troops contact us
“This is Arakawa Miki, co us fro? Cassis-ojo and the CIC personnel are starting to look worried If you do it too much, it will lower Noah’s reputation and will hinder future negotiations so it would be best to stop right now”
I cal to stop I then respond to Miki
“Roger that We have destroyed the siege weapon but would you need further support attacks?”
“No, that is not necessary Thanks to you guys we have tiiant collapse, the ian to withdraw You can go ahead and withdraw back to Noah Island… No, if you have plenty of fuel reo back can I ask you to fly around the northern battlefront? My son got in touch with me earlier and said that it will raise his morale if he can see Odin”
“Understood Odin will fly towards north and will do acrobatic demonstration”
I salute and made sure the communication is disconnected and ordered John to head north Kouki-kun surely said that Dragon Riders are dispatched from Ursna Empire, I cannot wait to see their reaction once this aircraft fly side by side with them in the same sky
—- Arakawa Miki Point of View —-
I felt relieved after confir towards north If they continue attacking like that while shouting ‘The legs! We can stop its s We can destroy it slowly after it rolls to the ground’ it will surely giveto Cassis-ojo and the Ursna Troops who are listening to transmission
Since it was Kouki who design such a ridiculous aircraft, I will let him take care of Odin crews… Ellis-san talked toresponsibility on their action
“Miki-san, how can Odin fly with its huge body? It was around 100 meters, is it not?”
“I do not knoe built a n of Kouki on one of his Creation Progra Department to produce it Incidentally, if you ines if for just a bit, it will not fly That thing is a y”
Ellis-san eyes ide open in my explanation
“Why is that a problem? Did you not ask Kouki-kun on how he can make it fly?”
“I did but he won’t tell ht that it will really fly’ He really is at his rebellious stage”
Ellis-san doesn’t kno to respond on my mother troubles She probably feel sympathy forwell… After deciding in my mind to talk properly with Kouki after this war, I issued an order to let the High speed power suit deployed to pursue the enemy
