Mob No.87: [Curse those spineless fools from the Nequerem Star Kingdom! Ignoring our agreement! That Barenton bastard is useless!]*
Before I could inform Major General Earlyhenge about the proximity alarm, a mass open channel communication came from the rebels.
[Hahaha! Our reinforcements have finally arrived! They seized the mobile fortress still under construction and came as our spear!]
The expression on Marquis Vastog’s face appearing on screen was extremely cheerful, mocking us and convinced of victory.
Could the Major General have missed it?
No, unbelievable things can happen in war, so even the Major General must have missed it.
This is bad right?
The moment I resigned myself, something came from the direction of the mobile fortress as the Marquis said.
But strangely, though the Marquis’ words indicate the mobile fortress should be coming, what approached looked like a fleet, and the elated Marquis didn’t seem to notice.
Then beams of rain poured from the fleet coming from the mobile fortress direction.
At the rebels.
[Wha-?! Why are our reinforcements attacking us?!]
Marquis Vastog’s previously complacent expression changed to panic and shock.
Then Rear Admiral Toonchewed appeared on screen.
[Unfortunately Marquis Vastog, my squadron’s detachment scouting your expected reinforcements received word they were withdrawing midway. They likely got cold feet seeing you somewhat pressed. Of course we couldn’t let them escape and annihilated them.
Also, the secret assault force you had heading to the capital planet Hyne was obliterated by Duke Ovoars!]
The allies were invigorated by Rear Admiral Toonchewed’s report, while the enemies began losing spirit.

[Curse those spineless fools from the Nequerem Star Kingdom! Ignoring our agreement! That Barenton bastard is useless!]
In his rage, Marquis Vastog blurted out his connection with the Nequerem Star Kingdom.
Amidst the back and forth between superiors, I was shocked by what I saw on my screen.
Among the rain of beams from the fleet was a thick crimson beam. While the other beams only caused minor damage to battleship armor, this beam easily pierced and sank them.
And seeing the machine that fired that beam, I was even more shocked, yet it made sense.
“That’s… Ms. Gerhilde… Come to think of it, she said she was going to see Ms. Rossweisse… What happened after that?”
In fact, during this operation, not just the royals, but promising mercenaries like Lambert-Ms. Rossweisse and Arthur-Ms. Sailor were apparently assigned to the Emperor’s guards.
Guard Captain Kirekt Erndiva knows Ms. Rossweisse, and knows her achievements, so it’s only natural he’d want to utilize her ancient weapon, regardless of its authenticity.
After that, it was a nightmare for the rebels.
That thick crimson beam fired by Ms. Gerhilde sank dozens of enemy ships, and the demoralized enemies quickly surrendered. The battle ended in less than 2 hours after Ms. Gerhilde joined.
After that, mercenaries and soldiers worked together to capture the surrendered enemies.
Incidentally, the mastermind Marquis Vastog tried escaping in disguise with aides, but was captured alongside them by soldiers supposedly on his side.
Once all rebels were captured, we mercenaries got permission for 12 hours rest and resupply at the colony, but the soldiers had to escort the prisoners to the capital. Serving royalty is tough… Good work everyone.
At the colony, drunk with victory, revelry had already begun, so after refueling, checking my machine, and buying available food and drink, I just used the bath then slept on my ship.
But when I finished eating and was about to sleep, I got a call from Ms. Rossweisse.
“Oh, hello?”
[It’s been a while, Captain Oozozos. Do you have a moment?]
Ms. Rossweisse on the hologram looked somewhat tired.
“Is this about Ms. Gerhilde?”
[So you’re the one who told Sister Gerhilde about me?]
Hearing my reply, Ms. Rossweisse deeply sighed.
Come to think of it, I didn’t tell Ms. Gerhilde my name.
“Was it unpleasant?”
[No, she was very affectionate, and I was happy to see her after so long.]
Why the sigh when she was happy was a mystery, but I tried asking what I wanted to know.
“But Ms. Gerhilde was amazing. Can you use that thick crimson beam too, Ms. Rossweisse? I’ve never seen you use it.”
[The crimson…ah, [Prominence Arrow]. I don’t have that installed.]
I blurted out at Ms. Rossweisse’s reply.
I’d guessed from Ms. Rossweisse’s name, WVS-09, that she had sisters, and since Ms. Gerhilde’s body was larger than Ms. Rossweisse’s, I thought that while their frames differ by armament, their basic specs as sisters would be the same.
Yet Ms. Rossweisse is a recon and electronic warfare craft, while Ms. Gerhilde is an interception fighter?!
Then how much more formidable would Ms. Gerhilde, designed for combat, be?! Just imagining makes me shudder!
Then I realized something and asked:
“But you’re an electronic warfare craft, so why don’t you use that? Seems like you could do amazing things.”
With her an ancient electronic warfare craft, she should easily be able to hijack enemy ships.
[True. If I tried, I could hack and control every allied and enemy ship here. But is it necessary? With my abilities, destroying them unharmed just takes time. Sister Gerhilde earlier just shot randomly, only caring not to hit us with Prominence Arrow.]
But Ms. Rossweisse’s reply was like, why are you asking that?
Just how incredible was the era they were made in?!
Lambert, who works well with Ms. Rossweisse and doesn’t have weird ambitions, is truly admirable! As expected of the protagonist!
[Nevermind that, listen! He’s ex-military yet keeps saying [Be my subordinate] [Be my lover] [Be my mistress] to person after person! And in combat too, unbelievable! Guarding the Emperor we barely moved, yet still!]
“How was Lambert handling it?”
[He politely declined over and over. But appeals to him increased, visibly tiring him. After the soldiers left, he just collapsed and slept.]
“Sounds disastrous…”
Well, Lambert’s quite a hunk…he’d be a target.
[And then that shameless woman came…]
I realized this would go on… Even hanging up now, she’d forcibly call back… There was no escape…
