"We found our target!"
"What does it feel like to you?"
"There's nothing particularly strange about it. It's just the kind of luck you often see in a world that's not unusual."
In appearance, it looks like a four-legged beast, unlike a cat or dog.
It feels neither strong nor weak, like the kind of intruder you see everywhere these days.
"Okay. Then go around to the direction of 'Mistolstan' and start attacking! Rather than stopping him, please guide him in one direction first and don't let him run away."
"You mean to make me a sheepdog, I understand!"
Theon's playful words and deeds made Misty a little commotion through the communication. As background music, she passed directly above the group once and then turned around and fired appropriately.
The intruders were very innocent and successfully escaped in the direction Xion wanted.
It seemed that the intruders did not have the ability to attack enemies in the air, and they did not show any intention of doing anything to the "Alert".
Thanks to him, there was no particular danger, but with the "attack" mobility, I could overtake them accidentally, so I chased Anonio and the others cautiously.
"This 'Saber' has found his target."
"Okay, then let's hit him with a flank attack!"
"I am leaving!"
In conjunction with the arrival of Haruma and others, Xion lowered the height of "Arut" to the ground level in one breath.
He rushed into the group of ghosts as if running on the ground.
"Theon! You complain too much!"
"I'm not good at shooting, this is the easiest to fight!"
Close to a few meters away, shoot the intruder through the head mercilessly, then aim at the next target and swing the "Lightschneider" just past him.
Although it was a distance from a shooting weapon, it was just the right distance for Theon to hit accurately.
The "Saber" suddenly swooped down and swung "Ascalon" down, perfectly splitting "Ascalon" in half.
Then he swung "Ascalon" sideways, and when the other "Saber" and "Asahite" caught the cloud came back to their senses, they were already back to back.
"Probably not... careless, anyway."
"Medium-sized luck can be easily blocked with a defensive wall."
Although Theon also caught the aura of the intruder approaching from behind, even if he was attacked from behind, he could be blocked by a defensive wall before reaching "Alert".
Not being attacked is a good thing in itself, so I'm very grateful to Haruma, but being attacked is no big deal.
The fighting continued, but within ten minutes all the invaders were defeated.
No matter Xion's detection or sensor-based search, there was no sign of any special intruder.
"Does this mean the battle is over?"
"Ah, let's get the whole aircraft back to the ship."
After listening to Ajid's instructions, he sighed softly and rolled his shoulders in the cockpit.
The alert level had dropped, and he was about to go to the cafeteria to eat comfortably when he suddenly remembered this and the bugs in his stomach made a slight noise.
(The donuts are out of stock, what should I eat?)
Just when Theon was about to let "Abbott" go to "Miststan", an alarm suddenly sounded.
"……Woolen cloth?"
Not knowing what the sudden alarm was warning of, Theon was thrown into confusion as something hit Morning directly on the back and exploded.
Easter!
"No problem! I guessed it right, but I guessed it wrong!"
As conveyed to the anxious Ajid, Theon was safe.
The magic defense barrier deployed outside the battle was effective from the normal time, and the attack from someone unknown caused no damage to "Arut" at all.
"Compared to this, what was the attack just now?!"
At least there's no magic aura, so it's not that kind of luck. In other words, it can be considered a product of modern weapons.
However, it is unimaginable that the human army, which had just concluded a formal contract not long ago, would reach out to Theon.
Taking this into consideration, there is only one possibility left that I can think of.
"Multiple sets of old mobile armors were found behind the 'Shallow Sea'! It seems that jammers are used to lurk inside!"
"...So, what is his true identity?"
"terrorist……"
Even if all the enemies of mankind appear, the battle between mankind will not stop.
They still retain the way of existence in the old century, and appear together with the mobile armor that traveled through the old century.
Perhaps because the failed raid exposed their presence, the terrorists stopped hiding and began marching toward Morning.
It is also obvious from a distance that they are all old-style mobile armors. We only have four, while the enemy has eight mobile armors and several small tanks approaching.
"Instructor! What should I do with this?!"
"He was so motivated from the beginning, I couldn't let him be silent!"
"In other words, are we going to kill each other with humans..."
So far, "Misty Stan" has faced Annie.
Whether it's a terrorist or someone else... this is the first battle.
"Well, yes... soldiers have times like this too."
Anna was calm about Xion's words. What he said was correct.
Mobile armored troops to fight against all terrorists!
"'Understood!'"
The three people except Theon accepted Anna's instructions without hesitation and walked in the direction of the terrorists.
Like Theon, all of them are under sixteen years old. Even so, since you have chosen the path of being a soldier, are you mentally prepared to kill people?
"Theon, what would you do?"
The implication is "Can you kill someone?" I knew he was asking me.
The answer was definitely "yes", but there was some hesitation in Theon's position.
"As a human army, even if I am an enemy, what if I kill someone?"
Theon stipulated in the contract that he would not take action against human armies and civilians.
Of course, this commitment does not include terrorists, enemies of human armies and civilians, but even so, terrorists are still human beings.
As a "magician" close to human beings, Xion easily kills humans. How will the human army react?
Although negotiations were made in the form of hinting murderous intentions to the higher-ups, it was only verbal, and it was unclear whether it could actually be achieved.
But if terrorists are killed here in an ordinary way, the fact that "human beings are killed without hesitation" becomes clear.
If the human army strengthens its vigilance against Theon, there will only be harm.
"There may be differences of opinion within the human military as to who is more popular, 'Sion Istar who obeys orders' or 'Sion Istar who has a negative attitude towards killing humans'."
"What about the instructor's recommendation?"
"It's all."
Anna almost didn't take any time to think before she answered, which meant that she had already thought about Theon's situation facing human enemies before it actually turned out like this.
If Anna said there was nothing she could do, then there was nothing Theon could do either.
Now, Theon himself has the question of which one is better.
As if to slap Agnel Sheehan on the butt, the sharp siren sounded in the cockpit again.
"Ah, what a nuisance!"
Instead of waiting, he consciously released the missile-like missile indicated by the sensor... and bounced it off the magic defense wall.
The missile did not explode on the spot, but flew out in a parabola like being hit back by a racket.
Right in front is the terrorist's mobile armor.
"Ah, crap!"
Facing the missile that forms a parabola due to conditioned reflection, launch the "Ryuunomaru".
The missile that fortunately hit and exploded knocked the mobile armor in question to the ground, but it probably wouldn't cause fatal damage.
"...It's not good to save you."
"...It's already very troublesome."
It's not fun to kill, and it's not fun not to fight.
As a result, there was only one action left for Theon to take.
Let "Alert" accelerate rapidly from the spot and hit the battlefield where the terrorists and the spring horses are fighting in one breath.
Neither "Lightschneider" nor "Dragon Claw" was in hand, but a magic defense wall was deployed around "Abbott".
All in all, just use your body….
"Killing and fighting are too much trouble!!"
Knock the enemy's mobile armor in front of you away, and then continue to bounce other mobile armors away.
Since there is neither slashing nor shooting, it cannot inflict fatal damage to the aircraft. However, the impact of the aircraft being pushed out suddenly makes the enemy pilot fall down.
