Chapter 516: Leaving / Ranelle
Many had retreated, but the remaining rebel forces had no intention of stopping the fight. They were slowly approaching and were about to launch an attack. Seeing this, the captain gave an order to the allied magicrafts.
“Magicraft squadrons prepare to intercept! Eliminate the attacking magicrafts!”
The remaining rebel forces had about 100 magicrafts, and we had 50, so we were clearly outnumbered. However, the mighty Emou army was still alive and well even now that it had become part of the federation, and there was no sense of impatience on the part of the allies.
The battle soon began and as the approaching enemy forces swarmed around them, they came into contact with the friendly forces trying to eliminate them, and a fierce battle ensued.
Even in a battle in which they were outnumbered two to one or three to one, the allied magicrafts were fighting more than evenly. After all, the Emou army was strong, and the difference in numbers is hardly perceptible.
In the midst of the melee a single enemy magicraft aiming at the Echigo’s power unit approached with a Harpoon Hammer, an anti-ship weapon.
It was a powerful weapon that could destroy the armor of a ride carrier, and if it approached and attacked, even the Echigo’s armor would not be able to block it. However, friendly magicrafts noticed this and immediately rushed to the scene.
The Harpoon Hammer is a weapon that specializes in anti- ride carrier capabilities, making it unsuitable for fighting against moving magicrafts.
Furthermore, the long spear, the weapon of the friendly magicraft that rushed to the scene, was a particularly good match for the harpoon hammer.
The enemy magicraft tried to attack the friendly magicraft with the harpoon hammer, but the large, heavy-looking weapon cut through the air without hitting it.
On the other hand, the long spear of the allied magicraft cornered the enemy machine.
It thrusts at high speed, and several times it hit the enemy magicrafts and popped off a piece of its armor. However, the attack that was supposed to be the final blow was intercepted by another enemy magicraft.
The enemy machine that interfered was a white combat type machine equipped with a one-handed axe, and conversely, it was compatible with a long spear.
The one-handed axe-equipped enemy magicraft caught it by surprise, overwhelmed and eliminated the long spear-equipped friendly plane.
I was so emotionally involved because I had seen how it happened and I felt my heart tighten.
In addition, several enemy magicrafts equipped with harpoon hammers were approaching and the captain, perhaps thinking to threat, gave the following order:
“Increase the speed of Echigo and move forward! We will shake off the enemy fighters! The rest of the ships will shoot covering fire to break up the enemy!”
Following the captain’s order, Echigo increased its speed and moved forward, leaving behind a swarm of enemy magicraft while the other two ride carriers formed a wall between Echigo and the enemy units.
“President Ranelle, this ship will leave the battle at this point.”
“Wait a minute! What about the other people!”
“After the battle, we will rendezvous at another location. We have informed them of the rendezvous point, so there will be no problem. First, we will ensure the safety of President Ranelle.”
“But how can you leave your allies in the middle of a battle……?”
“The old Emou soldiers are not that weak. They will destroy the enemy forces and join us safely.”
Safe is probably a lie since the battle was evenly matched and it was impossible to predict how much damage would be inflicted. Still, I was speechless at the thought that they would put my safety first.
