Chapter Index

    In the space century, ace pilots must always be prepared for sudden situations.

    An enemy may suddenly appear in the sky through a dimensional leap, and the enemy may catch you right before you make a dimensional jump –

    Crazy!!

    Like this, you can face a large number of enemies as soon as you jump across dimensions.

    “From Paladin 01 to everyone. Don’t rush, attack immediately.”

    Was it conveyed properly?

    The most certain answer to what I say is not the question ‘Yes?’ –

    Kwa-euang!

    The action is to run out of the hangar and immediately fight the enemy.

    ‘It’s been worthwhile teaching everyone so far.’

    Green 01 to 04, and Wolverine 01.

    All five Green Camp platoon members and academy students did not hesitate and immediately drove the AS out of the hangar.

    [Formation C4! lavender! I’ll leave the right side to you!]

    [Laz!]

    Following the instructions of Andy, the leader of Green Camp Team A, Lavender’s aircraft dives immediately to the right.

    The flashing red dots on the monitor are so crowded that no empty space is visible, but the enemies that are actually visible do not react as quickly as the monitor.

    [Combat begins!]

    Kwa-eu-ang!

    Along with Green Camp Team A’s beam rifle bombardment, scorpion-shaped ASs explode all at once.

    Speaking of scorpions, it’s a bit weird, but it’s a humanoid AS with a scorpion-like body.

    Scorpi Dog, space warfare specification.

    Its characteristic feature is a beam cannon that looks like a tail extending forward from behind the shoulder.

    It looks like a scorpion’s tail, but it is a shoulder cannon that shoots etheric energy like venom from the end of the tail rather than stabbing.

    “Are you coming?”

    We took the first hit.

    If the platoon members had questioned my instructions or rushed out late, they would have probably fallen prey to the large-scale artillery fire coming from the shoulder cannons that had just been recharged.

    “Front, Scorpi Dog M. 5 seconds later, ether bombardment comes.”

    I immediately edited the data that appeared on the monitor and sent it to the bridge.

    The light from the monitor under the sunglasses was stinging, but eye fatigue was not important in a battlefield where one was fighting for one’s life.

    5 seconds.

    Enough time to understand the enemy’s line of fire from the bridge that received the data and draw a conclusion about the attack.

    Our Captain Edmund is-

    [Avoid–!]

    Ordered to evade.

    It’s not like I’m entering a command from some kind of fighting game, but is it as if the battleship is dodging right after I give it the command?

    Isn’t there a captain who at least gives instructions in which direction and at what angle to move?

    ‘It’s unnecessary.’

    If the helmsman is someone who is more capable of controlling the battleship than the captain, all the captain has to do is decide.

    Should you avoid enemy attacks, or should you rely on the barrier to defend yourself?

    And we have a legendary helmsman.

    [Avoid–!]

    The battleship leans to the right.

    My body inside the battleship also tilted in a state of weightlessness, and the speed was so fast that it was impossible to imagine a large ship moving.

    Pabababat.

    Above the monitor, a large group of red lasers flying from the enemy avoid the battleship.

    Since it is a dot image, it looks like he just dodged to the side, but if you were to actually see it from space, it would have looked like he had dodged the attacks of hundreds of enemy Scorpi Dogs by twisting his battleship.

    The first offense and defense conversion is our victory.

    Green Camp Team A’s long-distance attack caused the enemies at the rear to explode, and the attacks of the Scorpi Dogs, which urgently recognized and attacked our battleship, did not reach the battleship.

    If I were to target the battleship again, I would use the booster to reach the body of the battleship that was pushed aside.

    But if you leave it at that, you are not an ace pilot.

    Bang, bang, kwa-ang!

    A powerful ether explosion occurs on the enemy’s left wing and in space.

    It doesn’t just end with a single explosion; when one explodes, enemy planes around it explode, causing a series of explosions.

    And in the meantime, purple lightning literally moves across the battlefield like a lightning pattern.

    ‘There’s no way those on the medium-sized Scorpi Dog can stop Lavender.’

    Although its size is relatively small compared to Harkon, its medium size is approximately 10m.

    What’s really scary is the extra-small size, with an approximate total height of about 3.8m.

    This is a story about an aircraft that is not scorpion-shaped like the ones used in the Scorpio Colony, but rather simple enough to look somewhat clunky, and the legendary pilot who drives the aircraft.

    ‘A scopey dog with no people on it is just experience for our kids.’

    [From Green Camp 01, to the bridge! I will approach!]

    While Lavender ran wild on the right, Team A followed suit and rushed into the enemy camp together.

    The four who flew through space with different ether booster colors shining are moving as if they have been in harmony for a very long time, causing chain explosions as big as lavender.

    ‘Which one should I say is great?’

    Lavender doing the work of four people by herself?

    Or the Green Camp A team, which is performing as a team to a level comparable to that of Rider Chang Se-su?

    ‘Naji.’

    Wouldn’t I be the most amazing person for insisting until the end that the two should be separated?

    The colony’s educators may have thought that these special forces could only become stronger if they all came together as a team, but sometimes they have to be separated to see the light.

    ‘I made that judgment because I lacked understanding of Ace Pilot.’

    Aces always stand out.

    To interpret it a bit harshly, it could be said that Ace stands out in comparison because others other than Ace cannot keep up with Ace’s speed.

    The other four can’t keep up with Lavender’s speed.

    The other four cannot share Lavender’s space.

    In that case, it is easiest to lead the troops if you just divide them into left wing and right wing, and operate them on both sides.

    Like right now.

    “From Paladin 01 to the bridge. The Scorpi Dogs on the front line are scheduled to be annihilated within 1 minute.”

    The number of enemies identified by the monitor was 502.

    It is presumed that about two of the planes are either enemy aces or decoys, but Lavender and Team A will take charge of even those two planes and blow them up.

    “Please check the Sagittarius colony ahead. What is the state of the ether barrier?”

    [Ether particle condition, good. No problem…nothing.]

    Operator Scarlett answered my question right away.

    [what?! It can’t be! Those guys sprinkled this damn eye powder, it couldn’t have been like that…!]

    Chairman December’s urgent voice comes through the line.

    “It’s not strange. Even if Scorpio completely captured Sagittarius, that doesn’t mean they fought while damaging the barrier.”

    At first, when we made the dimensional jump, the enemy we met looked at them as if they were attacking the Sagittarius colony, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they were trying to attack the Sagittarius colony.

    ‘It was arranged to snipe the escape port trying to escape from the colony.’

    The Sagittarius Colony looks extremely quiet from the outside, but the inside can be a different story.

    [These bastards…!]

    Beep beep.

    [I will enter the colony!]

    Suddenly, a response popped out from the monitor, and soon a green dot flew towards the area that was still engaged in combat.

    [hey!!]

    Chairman December shouts.

    A black storm passed by the battleship early and rushed to the battle area.

    It is a shrine.

    “…….”

    In an instant, various ‘memories’ pass through my mind.

    I remember setting traps throughout the colony to attract Ace, and then blowing up the colony as soon as Ace entered.

    The memory of Ace entering the colony, destroying the enemy aircraft, getting out of the aircraft, going in to save people, and using it to become trapped in a mobile murder weapon-automata or something that the enemy had laid down, and dying.

    I went to rescue my girlfriend who was being held in the colony, and it turned out that my girlfriend had put a bullet in her waist, and I remember seeing Ace leaving while being hugged by another man.

    In other words, just entering the colony right now is not the right option.

    “I can’t help it.”

    I took a deep breath and pressed all the buttons in a row.

    “From Paladin 01 to the bridge. A battle is expected inside the Sagittarius Colony.”

    [Hey, what are you doing now?]

    “What are you doing? Captain. It’s not a big deal.”

    My whole body is uplifted, and the front monitor sparkles.

    “The AS pilot has ascended to AS, what is there to do?”

    [Oh, no! Well, if you do that…!]

    “It’s okay.”

    He spoke so urgently that I couldn’t help but laugh.

    “I know my body best.”

    [hey!!]

    Just as Chairman December shouted to the new palace, this time Captain Edmund-

    “Principal Stella?”

    [Who wants to die in a place like this! Anyway, that’s true…!]

    “It’s a misunderstanding, but it’s not okay to say something that could have a negative impact on the site on a public line.”

    Beep beep, beep beep.

    [Instructor!!]

    Lavender made a communication call with her claw stuck in the enemy drone.

    [Are you trying to die?!]

    “…….”

    If I answer “live,” will I die?

    If I didn’t clear up the misunderstanding, I felt like Lavender would come to take me down right away.

    “I hope you stop joking around and come out soon.”

    [yes?]

    [Oh my, we have to make a move to merge or not.]

    Someone interrupted the public line.

    [Go ahead. The Paladin’s vital support will be provided from here.]

    [Wait, is this signal…?]

    Sound Only.

    A girl’s voice comes from a new signal.

    And the symbol of the signal from which that sound flows is the Zodiac Union Federal Council itself.

    Faaa

    A black hole opened next to the battleship, and something like a comet emitting blue light appeared and began to roam the battlefield.

    “Trev Cloud, Paladin 01.”

    The timing is now.

    “Sortie.”

    I pulled the booster and came into contact with the blue light approaching before my eyes.

    Saaaa.

    After opening my eyes.

    The blue etheric light was sparkling.
