Aarons had heard from others that the mercenary leader Kuran, with whom he had a close relationship, had already retreated to the Dukedom of Ophir with the Imperial Guards.

The reason why he appeared in this front-line area was probably because Duke Oufei was indeed facing a difficult dilemma.

"After descending to 1,000 meters, activate mental guidance and prepare anti-ship torpedoes."

[The No. 1 and No. 2 main launch ports are loaded with "Wild Flame". ]

"Artillery arrays disperse targeting areas as directed. Railgun units stand by."

With his mental strength fully activated, Aarons quickly worked out a strike strategy - although the White Bird's firepower was very fierce, the stored ammunition did not allow him to squander it at will.

So he must control the consumption to the minimum.

"Claire, prepare for emergency takeoff."

[Understood——Don't worry, I can start fighting at any time. ]

Today, Klia seemed to have switched back to the personality of the Queen of Stars, but Aarons didn't have the time to care about such things.

He had never really experienced war in his previous life, so most of the tactics he could imagine actually came from the memories of the original Aarons Moti - even though his soul was damaged and he had no talent, the original young master still tried his best to memorize a lot of knowledge that he would never use.

And now, these things are Aarons' only reliance.

"Don't remove the fog cover on the hull. Logistics team, do we have anything like smoke bombs?"

[This type of shell is included in the artillery's ammunition ration! ]

"Very good, all gunners, pay attention to loading the first round of smoke bombs. We must try our best to prevent the enemy from observing the entire picture of our ship."

The White Bird is Aarons' secret weapon, and of course he cannot let the enemy get accurate information in the first battle.

However, Aarons could not hold back - according to Kuran, Duke Oufei was now raising new troops and supplies in the rear. If this side was lost, the subsequent counterattack would be difficult to succeed.

And the biggest question is, why would the eldest prince and the second prince cooperate at this time?

"Ten seconds left to reach combat altitude! Start the countdown!"

Although this was not his first battle, Aarons couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

……

"Seriously, how is the young master going to support us? I don't see any army."

"Just stay here and wait and see, don't worry about it."

After exchanging information with the fortress commander, No. 1 ordered the reconnaissance team to return to the airship first.

The reconnaissance team's aircraft also have special technology, so it is best not to expose it unless absolutely necessary - No. 1 has been doing secret work for a long time and certainly knows the importance of confidentiality.

"Tsk, I think that young master will definitely use some incredible method..."

Number One was once ordered to investigate this man from the Principality of Corinth who had had contact with Aarons. But after collecting a lot of intelligence, she finally came to a rather outrageous conclusion.

——Although it may not be a direct lineage, this man is likely related to the royal family of the Armand Empire.

"Mr. Captain, I'm a little curious... You don't look like you come from a poor family. What did your family do?"

"Me? My family seems to have some connection with the Empire. My great-grandfather seemed to have moved from the Empire to Corinth, about ninety years ago?"

"What a coincidence! Do you know who he is?"

If what Kuran said was true, then his ancestor might be the illegitimate son of the Fourth Emperor - at that time, the imperial government was almost completely controlled by the nobles, so the Fourth Emperor often went out alone and it is very likely that he had left behind an illegitimate son who was not recorded.

And when the illegitimate child grew up, he left the empire for some reason and eventually settled in the Principality of Corinth and started a family... This is not impossible.

But right now, this matter doesn't mean much.

"Wait... Damn it! The Second Prince's warships have started up! Seeing that all our people have retreated to the barrier, they are planning to launch a forced attack!"

"Well, it seems the commander over there has good judgment."

"How can you be so calm? We have to...oh, could it be that the young master can easily deal with such enemies?"

Kuran was certainly not a fool. He immediately discovered something from No. 1's indifferent reaction. And No. 1 didn't say much. He just lifted the hair by his ear and stared quietly at the huge imperial battleship and the soldiers marching in dense formations below.

Those people don't know what fate they are about to face.

[White Bird has entered combat position. Dark Wing One, have all of Duke Oufei's men retreated to the fortress? ]

"Reply No. 1, all have been confirmed withdrawn."

[Very good. The battle begins. Give the communicator to that idiot Kulan.]

After hearing this somewhat strange order, No. 1 shook his head helplessly, then handed the communicator in his hand to the mercenary leader standing next to him.

Kuran, who took the communicator, showed a very confused expression.

"Hey, Master, what are you planning to do—"

[——Don’t blink. ]

Before Kulan could ask a question in surprise, a dazzling red light suddenly broke through the sky and penetrated from top to bottom near the clouds.

And the ominous red light, like a spear dropped from the sky, pierced straight at the aerial battleship that was slowly approaching the fortress.

“…What is that?!”

——That was a foreshadowing of destruction.

The top of the huge battleship was hit directly by the stream of light. Before the magic defense could even be activated, it was instantly burned and a huge hole that could not be repaired was created.

Afterwards, the magic power that should have been flowing orderly inside the hull seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly broke out in all directions, creating countless cracks and holes on the warship's hull that should have been solid.

So in just a few tens of seconds, this powerful weapon carrying a large number of magic arrays, which should have caused huge damage on the battlefield, suddenly exploded and disintegrated in the air without any warning, turning everything within its reach into dust.

...No one could have expected something like this to happen.

"It's just that we only have this amount of troops. The Marquis won't care at all."

Next to the stunned Kuran, Number One casually uttered a conclusion that was terrifying to think about.

At this time, all the soldiers in the fortress had seen the warship in the distance suddenly explode into a huge fireball.

The kind of weapon that couldn't be easily shot down without adequate preparation...was actually destroyed just like that?

[Number One, bring our leader up here later.]

"Yes—you heard it."

Since Kuran couldn't recover from his shock for a while, No. 1 just talked to himself.

After all, the battle continues.
