The ultimate weapon that protects the colony.

When you say that, it seems like something is there, it’s awesome, and it makes you feel like a hero who will save the colony from danger.

But is that weapon known to the public?

at all.

If it is known, the enemy will try to destroy it by any means possible, and if not destroy it, they will do their best to disable or capture it.

If so, these ultimate weapons are usually created without others knowing, but there is one problem here.

‘What is the budget?’

If it was carried out in secret so as not to be exposed to enemies, then the flow of funds would naturally have to be kept secret as well.

The flow of human and material resources to produce weapons has no choice but to be carried out as secretly as possible.

And among these flows, especially the movement of human resources, there are many cases where the enemy is caught, and most of these ultimate weapons are either revealed or destroyed before they are completed.

Isn’t there a saying like that?

-The Federation is creating a new weapon in some colony!

What is the linkage situation that occurs in this situation?

It’s a colony attack.

It is not uncommon for enemy ace pilots to cause terrorism in a colony in an attempt to steal the aircraft being built in the colony or take over the battleship itself.

These are all incidents that occur because their true identities are revealed through espionage activities.

The same goes for this universe and Starlight Colony.

If other colonies had known about the existence of this large ship called the Cheonma-Arcdemon, they would have certainly tried to hinder the production of the battleship by citing funding for the production of the Archdemon and various space treaties.

Large ships are like nuclear missiles.

If any colony tries to develop and possess nuclear missiles, other colonies will try to mediate or stop it.

Such nuclear missiles are now in front of us.

Although it is probably not a true nuclear missile, it is highly likely that it is armed with something with destructive power equivalent to a nuclear missile.

Actually, rather than that-

“Chairman.”

[Why do you do that?]

“With the budget for this, wouldn’t it have been better to provide more student scholarships, improve educational facilities, and provide tax support to graduates before they leave? ”

[…….]

It is absurd that the chairman secretly made this a tax.

“To build a ship this large, at least-”

[Uh huh. Until there.]

The chairman interrupted me.

[The important thing is, once again, at this moment, the battleship…]

“Whose preference is it to paint the entire exterior in black gloss?”

[It’s my preference. It’s a new alloy called onyxium alloy. Although its own armor is strong, it is also specialized in deploying a barrier through ether purge.]

Does this mean that the armor of the aircraft opens like some kind of AS and releases ether?

The design of the two large horseshoes extending forward is similar to the typical characteristics of space century battleships, but the design and other things-

“Instructor! Ready to board!”

There was a lot to discuss, but Lavender came running from afar, dressed as a pilot and waving.

“……Chairman. We’ll talk later when I get back.”

[However much. Hehehe. I wish you luck.]

Beep beep.

The phone call with the chairman was disconnected.

I operated the panel while pressing my throbbing head with my hand.

“Uh, do your eyes hurt?”

“No. My head hurts.”

“If your eyes hurt, doesn’t your head also hurt?”

“I will correct it. A more accurate way to say it would be to have a headache. It’s a divisive situation in many ways.”

Beep beep.

A new text from the Chairman has arrived.

Perhaps this is one answer to all the fundamental and theoretical questions he has regarding the issue I want to ask the chairman about.

So, why did you create this?

Regarding the question:

[You’re so cute.]

“…I shouldn’t say anything.”

The colony’s final guardian battleship, built by collecting the colony’s taxes and souls.

“Not on board. And, get ready right away.”

Archdemon.

I wondered if there was any connection between Starlight and Yggdrasil, but I quietly boarded the battleship with Lavender.

“As soon as we escape into space, we will head to the Sagittarius Colony.”

* * *

A moment later, the Archdemon bridge.

“It’s in earnest.”

After telling Lavender to ‘get ready’, I went up to the bridge separately.

“It’s been a while since I saw you wearing a formal captain’s uniform. Captain Edmund.”

“It’s been a while since I saw you take off your visor. Hehehe.”

Captain Edmund, who was wearing a black uniform reminiscent of the Space Federation Command Corps rather than his usual professorial uniform, tapped his hat.

“What is the bridge like?”

“I don’t think there’s anything else to talk about… Wait a minute.”

While I was looking around the bridge, I got goosebumps for a moment when I saw the two people sitting in the most important seats on the bridge after the captain.

“Principal Stella. Why are you here?”

“Now, I am Brigadier General Stella, Instructor Cloud.”

In the operator’s seat, Assistant Principal Stella and Brigadier General are sitting wearing headsets.

“No, why are you really a vice principal…?”

“I am usually the general manager of the academy, but I was originally a person who specialized in this.”

“…….”

“Please rest assured. The detailed situation is over there… over there. Let me ask you something.”

Vice Principal Stella seemed as if it was absurd and pointed to the person sitting in the seat opposite her and me.

“Do men originally think that they only need to wear sunglasses to show who they are?”

“…….”

“You’re not wearing a half mask, just sunglasses. Do you think you can hide your identity with that?”

“It’s an old…tradition, but…”

helm seat.

“Who are you?”

“huh.”

A young man with neatly cut golden hair and sunglasses waved his finger at me in greeting.

“As for me, I am the one who cherishes this battleship more than anyone else.”

“So you sent an immolation?”

“Boo, you’re an alter ego. What kind of nonsense fantasy are you talking about?”

“No one said that there was a separate body and that there was an alter ego of an android made of ether.”

“…….”

The mysterious sunglasses man glared at me with only his middle finger extended and the middle of his sunglasses slightly lowered.

“You really are a man who doesn’t know what romance is.”

“Because we have been through too many battlefields to discuss romance.”

“This is my first time on a battlefield like this, so wouldn’t you be a little considerate?”

The eyes beneath the sunglasses were sparkling emerald green.

“Really, I can’t even get on the bridge. This is so suffocating.”

Normally, pilots don’t come up on the bridge very often, but if you’re ranked 1st to 3rd in the colony’s ranking, you definitely don’t want to be on the bridge.

“So what can I call you?”

“I am the helmsman, you can call me Arnold von Neumann.”

“……It doesn’t seem to fit the identity of Starlight Colony at all?”

“It is also the name of the person who drives the safest battleship in the universe.”

“Ah, yes.”

If you say so, what can you do?

Even if the main body is left in the colony, the skills of the AI clone sent here will definitely not be bluff.

Above all, who can stop him when he says he will personally do the evasive maneuvers of the battleship, which is said to be ‘awesome’?

The only person who can stop this is the colony chairman, and the colony chairman will actively entrust the keys to Archdemon to a man named Arnold von Neumann.

‘Is it fortunate that Captain Edmund is there?’

Captain Edmund is a man who operates a battleship more conventionally than you might think.

Like ‘those gentlemen’, I’m not someone who takes the rudder from a pirate ship and controls the battleship myself, or suddenly changes the captain’s seat into a surfboard and rides the ocean of space.

“Good. I’ll leave the bridge to you. Special forces…”

“I’ll leave it to you.”

“Lazeo.”

I left the bridge.

* * *

At that time, the Archdemon hangar.

“Wow, crazy.”

“…These are all new models, right?”

The special forces, Green Camp platoon members were mesmerized by the sight of the four aircraft standing in the hangar.

“Is this really the aircraft for us? Hana, do you have any data?”

“…No. It’s brand new. It looks like a modified Harkon, but the external armor response and such are completely different.”

Overall, its appearance was similar to Harkon, but although it had the appearance of Harkon, it was quite heterogeneous.

“More than anything, I can sense malice from the color.”

“Malicious?”

“…black, blue, red, white. Don’t you know what these four colors mean?”

“What is it?”

“Ha, Jace. I thought you would know.”

Hanae covered her face with her hands.

“The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, don’t you know?”

“……What kind of colony is Apocalypse?”

“Jace. Don’t you usually read books often?”

“That doesn’t appear in the books I read.”

“Ha. done. Just think that it was created by borrowing something from Earth’s old mythology.”

Hanae waved her hand.

“If the instructor was there at a time like this-”

“A magazine of four knights who announce the destruction of the world and bring about disaster. Mythical beings from the Bible.”

The hangar door opened, and an instructor appeared.

“…Huh?”

The four people were mesmerized as soon as they saw the instructor.

“Hey, over there. Instructor Cloud…?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Oh, the clothes…?”

“Oh, you mean this.”

Hangar entrance.

“Because there is a TPO suitable for the universe.”

Trev Cloud is not wearing the usual instructor uniform.

“Same goes for AS pilots.”

He was wearing a pilot’s spacesuit.

A combatant’s spacesuit that fits perfectly.
