Although the size of a colony varies greatly from colony to colony, the size of most colonies is proportional to the weight class.

The stronger the colony, the larger the overall colony size.

Colonies produced on Earth can be purchased to expand, and other colonies can be purchased and combined to double the size.

In the Universal Century, most colonies have grown through mergers and acquisitions of opposing colonies.

Whether it was economic invasion or forced annexation through military intervention, quite a few colonies grew that way.

Starlight Colony is a bit out of the question.

It is said to have done well decades ago, but since it was a colony specializing in education, it focused on strengthening its internal stability rather than external expansion, and did not try to expand the colony separately, so its size did not change much from the beginning of the colony.

So, when compared to the Sagittarius Colony, one of the 12 constellations before us, its size is bound to be relatively small.

The actual size is different, but if you look at the proportions, should we say that it is similar to the difference between the Earth and the Moon?

‘Actually, the situation on the moon is more amazing.’

The total amount of ether possessed by the Starlight Colony is much greater than the total amount of ether energy possessed by the Sagittarius Colony.

Of course, that’s because there are as many as three Creation Beasts in Starlight Colony.

[Starting today, we are allies. Hehe.]

Chairman Yggdrasil suddenly shouted.

Although I had a suggestion, I would have never imagined that they would immediately open a wormhole and move the entire colony.

[Oh, no. chairman. What the heck is this….]

[Sagittarius Colony needs ‘protection’ for the time being, right?]

[Ugh…!]

The Sagittarius Colony was attacked by the Scorpie Colony.

Even the colony’s strongest machine, Black Storm, has been hacked, and it is hard to tell how many people have been killed inside.

[Most of the troops sent by Scorpie Colony were lost. Thanks to the efforts of our Green Camp platoon members.]

The battle is won.

Green Camp A Team, led by Andy, and Apocalypse’s 4AS wiped out the entire Scorpie Dog.

I can say for sure.

Now, if they go to another colony, they have grown to the point where they can somehow join the ace pilot team as new recruits.

If there were these people, the four of them would be able to take on quite a few enemies, at least as long as the enemy wasn’t Chang Se-su.

[But can you really guarantee that they won’t come again?]

However, Green Camp belongs to the Starlight Colony.

Since they are not members of the Sagittarius platoon, they naturally have to return to Starlight.

Then again, there would be a vacuum in security, and as Chairman December, who could not entrust everything to just one gentleman, he must have been thinking of trying to make a deal to ask him to stay.

[With this, we are in the same boat. ha ha ha.]

[Ugh….]

[Protection fee… sigh. As a symbol of our friendship, shall we first talk about 40 trillion credits? Oh, don’t worry. We will do our best to provide support through ether. At least in terms of safety, the Sagittarius Colony will be safe as long as there are no internal spies or terrorists.]

At least we can deal with enemies that come with battleships from outside the colony.

[Chairman December. Think positively. This is all for the people of the colony.]

[Off, ugh, off…!!]

[Chairman December, do you really intend to put the people of the colony in danger?]

[Off…!!]

[Not only Scorpi Colony…you may also be threatened by small colonies aiming to take the place of the 12 Constellations.]

[ha. I understand, I understand.]

Chairman December let out a deep sigh and raised the white flag.

[…First, we need to check how much damage was caused by the terrorist attack. Please help me.]

[check. In accordance with the Universal Magna Carta, we will support Sagittarius colonies that have suffered terrorism.]

Rattling.

The Starlight Colony began to revolve around the Sagittarius Colony like a satellite.

It is not connected by a separate line, and in terms of the total amount of etheric energy, this side has more, so it should have been the opposite regardless of the size.

This is polite.

The pride of the 12 Constellations Colony and courtesy to those who are in trouble due to terrorism.

Fortunately.

[Paladin.]

“Yes.”

[Sorry, but would you please take the aircraft and fly over the colony?]

There are ample means to calm the confusion amidst the crisis.

“Of course.”

me.

“Any amount for the safety of citizens.”

* * *

Buuu.

Enter the Sagittarius colony and fly over the colony as a paladin.

‘That’s bad.’

The 12 Constellations Colony suffered a terrorist attack so severe that it was unthinkable.

Luckily, there was no hole in the outer wall of the colony causing a pressure difference that caused everyone in one area to fly into space. However, if that is the worst assumption, then the previous events may have happened.

[That’s harsh….]

Lavender, who drives Fenrir, who has transformed into Soul Gainer form, behind Paladin Mk.2, speaks in a gloomy voice.

Bombing.

Dented vehicle.

Collapsed building.

And some, broken and burning Scorpie Dogs.

[Did they even commit a massacre of civilians?]

“Yes.”

Scorpie dogs are small.

But that’s the AS standard. If it’s used against people, it’s a war weapon of similar size to a tank or fighter jet as of the 21st century before the start of the space century.

“The colony population suddenly decreased by more than half. Not to this extent. But at first glance, it’s clear that about…10% were murdered.”

[That’s a lot.]

“That’s right.”

Numbers are relative.

I have often seen countries disappear in other universes, but in our universe, where such a thing has never happened, it is a shock and horror to see 10% of the colony’s population killed in an instant.

“Keep in mind. Sometimes, what seems like a ceremonial event like this can be a source of comfort to someone.”

So, we need to go around like this now and ease the fear among citizens.

“AS may be a being that evokes the fear of death, but at the same time, it can also be a symbol of peace that can protect someone.”

we are here

When they see a plane flying in the sky and show that ‘Paladin is there’, citizens feel relieved or shake off their fear.

“In some cases, we may send hostile action. Why didn’t you help us? Even though he had such power, why couldn’t he help us?”

[That is absurd.]

“There are times when people are so frustrated and desperate that they resort to such unreasonable behavior. I lost my family.”

Just like I did once.

“Don’t worry. Because time will eventually resolve such issues. If we can control our current fear and anger and take the time to reflect on ourselves, people will cheer us on after that.”

[You become people who must be protected.]

“Okay. And… honestly, I wonder if we will become the target of resentment.”

Although it’s only half-joking.

“Because you will hate the absent shrine more than the people in the external colony.”

[…….]

“At least until the shrine regains people’s trust, let us take its place.”

[Somehow, you seem proactive. Instructor.]

“It has to be that way.”

Maybe it was when I was an instructor.

“If becoming a paladin helps people, at least until peace is restored to the Galactic Federation, I should be willing to do so.”

Below, you can see citizens waving their hands while watching the Paladin flying in the sky, so how can you stay still?

“Lavender.”

[Yes, instructor.]

“Fly, keep in line.”

I adjusted the position of the flying Paladin Mk.2 and flew alongside Lavender.

[Instructor?!]

“I like creating awareness in people. Not only are there Paladins, but there are also Lavender Whitely and Fenrir.”

[…….]

“It wasn’t me who saved them. You.”

[is that so.]

Lavender’s voice is filled with slightly emotional emotion.

[Well, I did well, right?]

“Okay. You did really well.”

[Then I guess you should praise me?]

“What should I praise you for? What I can praise is that the repertoire is set.”

[Uhm….]

Lavender smiles.

[Could you please do the same thing you did to Instructor Aria?]

“…….”

[Oh my, you didn’t really think I didn’t notice, did you?]

“Lavender. You are still young.”

[The instructor is also young.]

“I’ve never thought much about the unhealthy relationship between instructors and students.”

[So you’re saying I’m the first?]

“…….”

To be honest.

‘It’s not the first time they’ve attacked me.’

The reason I couldn’t settle down in one place while raising several students was because things like this happened often.

The reason I cut off contact with them as much as possible was because something like this happened.

“Lavender.”

[Yes, instructor.]

“…If you are the only one who gets ‘special treatment’, there will be quite a few people who will be jealous. Until now, I have pushed away all the guys who approached me like you and cut off relationships.”

[But I am special!]

“…Yeah, it’s special.”

He is also the owner of the Creation Tree and is special in many ways.

“So what do you want me to do?”

[I told you. Just do it like you did to Instructor Aria.]

Lavender smiles.

[I think you can get on top of me… Ehehe…]

“…….”
