Play holy light heart to be dirty

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly use the secret line? What happened?"

"A state of emergency has occurred! Please, Commander, please resume command authority..."

The crew said so in a fierce tone, and Kotori's face darkened.

"Emergency?"

"Yes, we have encountered an enemy. Suddenly, an air ship of unknown origin appeared and attacked the battleship! If this continues, 'Fraxinus' will..."

It's no wonder that the liaison staff tried desperately to tell all this, after all, this matter is closely related to my own life.

However, the moment Kotori heard what the other party said, Kotori narrowed her eyes as if suddenly losing interest.

"What... so it's such a trivial matter."

After speaking, he sighed.

"I thought that idiot must have done something stupid again, don't scare me!"

"You...you said it was a trivial matter—it was a big matter that related to the survival of the ship..."

Before the crew could continue, Kotori raised her hand to stop Hinako from speaking.

"It's alright, you don't have to worry."

"Why...why are you still so calm..."

The liaison officer said this in a desperate state of mind, then, Kotori shrugged and said:

"Of course it's because—now you have Kannazuki here, that guy, when he's serious, he's an excellent vice-captain!"

As if echoing Kotori's words, Kannazuki's calm voice of order also began to be issued.

"Designate the range of the defensive random domain as a temporary direction, coordinates [-]-[-]-[-], range [-]-[-]."

"Yes……"

After receiving the instructions, the crew in charge of this aspect quickly manipulated the central console.

As a result, the random field surrounding <Fraxinus> began to change, gradually shrinking in the direction and range designated by Kannazuki, constructing an invisible wall.

In the next moment, the magic cannon fired from the enemy ship exploded just at that position.

The screen playing the video outside the ship was dazzling, but the inside of the bridge was only slightly shaken.

"...!"

The crew of 'Fraxinus' took a deep breath in unison.

Defensive random domain, as it literally means, is to block the attacks that want to destroy the inside of the domain as the main purpose, and it belongs to a random domain with special attributes.

Basically, the wider the range, the weaker the strength of the random field.

If the random domain is condensed and condensed, making it tightly attached to the surface of a certain object inside, then its strength will be greatly increased.

However, the order given by Kannazuki just now is more efficient.

His method is to condense random fields into a wall at a specific location.

As a matter of course, doing so will allow the strength of the random field to expand infinitely, and the entire crew is experiencing this effect for themselves.

However, this is also a very dangerous double-edged sword.

The reason is simple, because when a random field is expanded within a limited range, other parts will be in a defenseless state.

"Next, assign the range of the defensive random domain to the same direction, the range five zero six nine."

"Five... five zero six nine...!"

"Move fast, or you'll die—ah, but it's true.

I can understand the feeling of wanting to experience the pain that is worse than death..."

Before Kannazuki could finish speaking, the random domain opened at the designated location.

Next, the magic cannon, which was more powerful than before, hit a random area that was set to a small range.

If the previous setting is followed, the power of this wave of attack may damage the ship itself.

As if predicting this long ago, Kannazuki designated the expansion range as a small range.

And, not just once or twice.

After blocking [WEB]'s first wave of shelling, the enemy fired a total of twelve magic cannons.

Those attacks were all accurately blocked by Kannazuki Kyohei.

Indeed, there is only one enemy plane, and the direction of the attack can be roughly estimated, so theoretically, this is indeed possible, but——

"Okay, I'm gradually getting the rhythm. In fact, I hope that the opponent can adjust... to correct and attack more intensely.

However, he couldn't continue to let the other party hurt Commander Wuhe's beautiful world tree. "

In order to attract everyone's attention, Kannazuki suddenly raised his hand and stared at the image of the enemy ship displayed on the main screen.

"Prepare to launch the converging magic cannon 'Silver Oak Sword'."

"Why can't I hit it!"

Accompanied by the roar, Paddington clenched his fists and thumped the armrest of the captain's seat.

Several magic cannons were fired in succession from the beginning, but the ship of <Ratatoskr> was still floating in the sky.

There was neither an attack nor an evasive action, just staying in a fixed position and accurately defending against our shelling.

That's right—it was almost as if they were looking down on this <Albald> ship.

"Yes...the other party seems to be able to catch up with the shelling, and instantly deploy a defensive random field at the position where the shell is predicted to be hit!"

"Stop joking! How could such a thing happen."

"But...but—"

Before the crew finished speaking, the bridge suddenly sounded an alarm.

"Heat source detected! The enemy ship, the main gun at the front of the ship body is concentrating its magic power!"

"Woo... turn the right rudder and head towards one-zero-four! Turn all the generated magic power into a defensive random field!"

"Yes!"

Following Paddington's instructions, the huge hull of <Albald> changed direction.

In the next moment, the front of the enemy ship glowed, and an astonishing torrent of magic power was launched from there.

That torrent pierced through the random domain of <Albald> that had changed its course, skimmed the hull and shot backwards, finally pierced through the clouds and disappeared into the sky.

Strong vibration hit the <Albald> bridge.

"Tsk, you hateful fellow!" Paddington roared loudly before giving the next command.

"Drive all <Ashcroft-β> machines from one to NO.50 to the critical point!

After shrinking the random area to three meters from the surface of the hull, turn the left rudder!Full speed ahead!Directly cut off the random area of ​​​​the enemy ship! "

"Follow... obey..."

Chapter 170: The Veritable Deputy Captain

"The enemy ship dodged the <Sword of Silver Oak>...!"

"Oh, the shot missed! Well, it seems that the enemy is not an ordinary person, but... I really am not good at attacking!"

After Kannazuki said this in a tone that seemed to be joking, the crew all smiled helplessly.

Don't be ordinary, if they are not good at attacking, wouldn't they want to resign in place?

"Enemy ship, approaching us!"

"So that's it, do you want to directly cut off our free field?"

Kannazuki quickly guessed the opponent's plan. In the battle of ships equipped with display devices, the most important key to victory is to remove the opponent's free field first.

After pondering for a while, he said loudly: "Activate all the basic display devices in parallel, and convert the generated magic power into a random field.

At the same time, the area was narrowed down to two meters from the surface of the hull. "

"Yes! Start AR-[-] to [-] in parallel!"

"Ah, there is also a control-type display device, only one is left, and the other ones are used to create magic power."

"Zun-huh?"

The crew member who faithfully repeated Kannazuki's instructions suddenly stopped talking.

However, this is also a normal reaction.

The display devices mounted on <Fraxinus> are roughly divided into two types.

It is used to manufacture basic display devices for mana supply to random domains and main guns, and control display devices to control these devices.

Controlled Manifestation Device is not only one type of Manifestation Device, although it is less efficient, it can also produce magic power like the basic Manifestation Device.

It is indeed the best way to fight against the enemy ships approaching us with a huge output of magic power.

However, giving up most of the control-type display devices is the same as unplugging the CPU from the computer.

Even if it can create huge magic power, it may lose the function of fixing random fields.

As if taking the crew's anxiety for granted, Kannazuki nodded.

Then, he took out what looked like a black full-face headset from behind the captain's seat, and put it on his head.

"It doesn't matter, this can be used to replace the control-type display device."

After Kannazuki finished speaking, she pointed to her head.

"I'll explain to you later, if you don't want <Fraxinus> to be shot down, follow my instructions quickly."

"Tsk - follow orders...! Control-type display devices - No. [-] to No. [-], the performance is transferred into manufacturing magic power!"

The crew operated the console, and the random domain covering <Fraxinus> disappeared in an instant——and immediately restored.

"How... how is it possible..."
