A Starlight Academy student and ‘Paladin’s Apprentice’ asks openly.

Taurus Colony.

Does it have anything to do with Scorpie Colony?

To be more explicit, it can be interpreted as ‘Did the Scorpi Colony provide funds, materials, and weapons to attack the Sagittarius Colony?’

‘Good vocalization.’

When making such a statement, a professionally trained spokesperson is usually used.

The voice must be appealing, the pronunciation must be clear, and it must have the power to captivate the listener.

Andy has that.

If there is an advantage to having a good voice as an AS pilot rather than a spokesperson, it is that as a team leader, when giving instructions to team members, you can convey them at once without having to say it twice or three times.

‘Even among the outstanding AS pilots, there were some who were good at giving speeches.’

The same goes for things like mecha animations.

It is a surprisingly common cliche for a political leader who terrorized the world to appear as a villain controlling AS and confront the main character at the end.

Rather than saying that Andy is such a being, we can say that he is a being that fights against such people.

‘You’re going to have a hard time from now on.’

In real time, many people are commenting on Andy’s suspicions about Starlight Colony.

It is made up of an etheric network, so the visible information varies depending on whether it is displayed or not, but when analyzing the locations of space IPs, more than half are full of remarks from people living in the Taurus colony.

This is ridiculous.

Who is that kid?

Where did you get such nonsense?

At first, they would be angry and angry, but they would soon be surprised to learn that the subject of the announcement was the Starlight Colony, not the Sagittarius Colony.

And you will be surprised again that the person presenting is one of Paladin’s students.

‘I’m glad it made an impact.’

With just one word, I cannot instill in the people of the Taurus Colony the belief that ‘the chairman of our colony is a war criminal who committed war crimes!’, which is close to brainwashing.

However, it can raise a level of suspicion that makes you think, ‘Are we really doing something wrong?’ or ‘What on earth did the leadership do to make a Paladin’s disciple say something like this?’ .

Fortunately, the universe still remembers Paladins as defenders of justice.

Although there are still some who do not know its true identity, at least the awareness that Paladins exist and move for peace is enough.

‘In the end, what matters is strength.’

In the end, the public opinion war is merely a preliminary work to reduce the number of enemy ASs running out of the enemy camp.

Whether it is the Scorpie Colony or the Taurus Colony, if you ignorantly follow the indiscriminate war decided by the colony’s superiors, you will be pierced by our beam rifles from space. Otherwise, you can quietly keep your mouth shut in the rear and slowly take the side of the winner.

There is no need to protest or fight and be assassinated by the colony’s superiors to demand the truth.

All you have to do is quietly escape from the war and at the same time stick to the powerful side and survive.

In the end, no matter which universe you go to, the logic of power is the same.

The fact that a strong colony grows by eating other colonies and that the colony that becomes stronger dominates the universe is something that happened in every universe as well.

The Taurus colony destroys all other colonies in favor of the Scorpio colony, and at the end, tramples the scorpion that has been hunted with its hoof, turning the solar system into the Taurus star system?

If we do that, then the Taurus colony will become the ruler of the entire universe.

We become the ones who resisted that order and will barely leave a mark in the long history of the universe.

‘It’s up to you.’

In the end, we are moving for peace in order to avoid creating such a subversive universe.

Even if the Scorpi Colony is suppressed by force, the tragedy that engulfed the Sagittarius Colony will be repeated again if the Taurus Colony behind it is not completely cleaned up, and if other people who may exist behind it are not controlled as well.

So, you have to step up.

Anyone who can use force must be willing to use that power for peace.

Are you prepared to die?

Or you are prepared to kill your opponent.

In order to find the most appropriate person for the job, I secretly came down to the Sagittarius Colony and searched for a place.

‘Is it this way?’

A hangar in the Sagittarius colony.

Now, everyone in the Sagittarius Colony is focusing on the Taurus Colony’s secret plan and behind it, as well as Andy’s voice accusing it.

I opened the door to the hangar where a familiar black aircraft was standing and sneaked in. Avoiding the eyes of the mechanics who were focused on the monitor, I headed towards one of the aircraft.

-…Next news. Currently, the shrine has been missing for several days, but the council says external activities have officially been suspended.

The body of the shrine.

Not the hacked Black Storm, but the A-class aircraft of the shrine that fought Lavender directly.

Climb the ladder, stand in the middle of the scaffolding, and face the aircraft in front.

-There is some speculation that Shingung committed suicide because he was unable to overcome the pressure…

Inside this, there is a shrine.

Knock knock.

Knock carefully on the cockpit.

There is no reaction.

Maybe you don’t know me?

Wi-ing.

The moment I thought that, the aircraft’s eyes sparkled red.

I immediately grabbed the work wire hanging on the side of the aircraft and climbed towards the cockpit of the aircraft.

“Is it inside?”

[…….]

There’s no answer.

Unless you are concentrating on something –

“I came.”

Even if you were watching, you would be more concerned about the me in front of you than Andy’s statement.”

“I want to ask you something.”

[…….]

Weeing.

I hear the hatch opening.

It is not 100% open for complete cooling, but the cockpit opens just as wide as a death row inmate would open a window to see the outside from the inside.

“…what’s going on.”

not.

Shin Gung, whose throat is hoarse, speaks in a haggard voice.

“What happened? You must know the situation well.”

“…….”

“Aether lights are twinkling between the cockpits. I blocked the external line, but I was curious about what emergency statement Starlight was talking about.”

“…….”

Shin Gung takes a short breath.

“How did you know I was here?”

“There is one of two places for the Ace Pilot. Private room, or cockpit.”

“……I.”

“It’s not Ace. I didn’t come here to accept such foolish behavior.”

The sound of Shingung chewing his tongue could be heard from inside.

“Just say it clearly. Our troops need power. Fighting with just Starlight Colony puts too much physical and mental strain on our troops. We need to fight together with the Sagittarius Colony.”

“You want me to come forward?”

“If you want to fight, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

“Do I have that qualification?”

I knew it.

“I put everyone in danger because of my stubbornness and greed?”

Shin Gung was consumed by a sense of self-destruction.

“It was a disaster that occurred because I was away.”

“At some point, they probably invaded under another name.”

“The attack was caused by me foolishly running out on my own.”

“Have you received official permission? Then, the attack would have been more thorough and complete. The date has been set.”

“If only I hadn’t left my seat…”

“The problem is the colony itself, which was completely eaten up just because one ace pilot and one chairman were missing. It’s not your fault. It’s everyone’s fault in the colony.”

If you look at the cause, the shrine accounts for about 30%.

However, the current situation is not very good to hold such responsibility, and even if responsibility is held, the punishment can be borne by the shrine acting like a shrine.

“I have to take revenge.”

“…….”

“Whether it is the Taurus Colony or the Scorpie Colony, shouldn’t we take bloody revenge on those who committed terrorism in the colony and killed people?”

“That’s….”

“I don’t mean to kill you carelessly. Let’s take down those who are ready to die and shoot an arrow made of ether into the heart of the main villain behind them.”

“…….”

The one who ordered the raid on the Sagittarius colony.

Either the Chairman of the Scorpie Colony, or another powerful person behind the Chairman.

“We are going to attack Scorpie Colony from now on. Maybe even soldiers from the Taurus colony will show up.”

Whether it is a group of warmongering mad bulls who control them as puppets and shatter the implicit peace of the universe.

“If you are there, the range of tactics expands. Would you like to join us?”

“……If it’s for revenge.”

The shrine is a necessary entity.

“But, it’s still a bit awkward to go out…”

However, just because it is necessary, you cannot forcefully awaken your mentality and take it to the battlefield.

We need a shrine that produces all the power, but a shrine that is so deluded that it cannot even produce proper skills is just a burden.

“Good. If so, I’ll give you a solution.”

“Solution…?”

“You can be shameless like me, or you can completely hide from everyone.”

I pointed towards the eyes.

“Would you wear a mask too?”

“…….”

“It looks like you have no intention of wearing a mask. Then there is only one way.”

I tapped the aircraft with my hand.

“Shingung will become AI.”

“What…?”

“If you use the ether line, you will be able to move the aircraft through remote control.”

How to participate in battle without going to the battlefield.

“With the Brain Matrix, only souls are sent to the battlefield. How about it?”

It’s just remote control.

Using AI assistance.
