141 Tue-Invaders(1)
“Are you completely bullied?”
“Once…there are no enemies.”
“Answer, is there still no answer?!”
Liam, who sat down on a chair, muttered in a voice that was exhausted. First of all, he succeeded in surviving an unexpected surprise.
Not only that, but everyone else had long been exhausted from the aftermath of the full-fledged pursuit that had been held for all days.
“Uh, that’s…”
“Why is that? We’ve been constantly warning about the dangers of those extraterrestrial bugs and attaching evidence. They’re a disaster. They’re monsters waging a fleet war with us in space! Nature must have answered something! “
Liam, who was exhausted and had no time to rest, was finally angry at the hesitant attitude of the aide.
But despite his seldom anger, the surrounding aides said nothing, with sullen faces, their eyes tightly shut or their heads lowered.
“why…”
“Captain.”
By this point, Liam, who was rather embarrassed by the attitudes of his subordinates, fell into a moment of confusion.
Someone opened his mouth with a voice that said he was prepared. His eyes trembled as he saw Amy, the brown-haired woman who stood in front with a hardened face.
“Amy. Do you know what’s going on?”
“sorry.”
Eventually, Amy told him everything. The fact that she, who was usually trusted by him, joined forces with the captains to omit information and posted a false report.
Liam couldn’t help but despair when he heard the sound. According to Amy’s words, it is understandable that nature is showing a lukewarm response now.
Until now, he had been routinely reporting that there was no problem, but suddenly crazy monsters appeared.
“My mistake. Amy. I trusted you too much for being young and capable.”
“I’m sorry. I’m responsible for this mistake, and I must… Fuck!”
Seeing Liam sigh, Amy finally burst into tears, pulled a pistol from her waist and pointed it to her head.
“No, don’t be silly. You’re just trying to run away. Leave us all alone.”
However, Liam, who got up like lightning and pushed her, snatched the pistol at once, and the panicked aides around her subdued her and captured her.
“Come back to your seat, Captain Amanda Lynn. First of all, I’ll hold out until support comes from my nature.”
“Captain…”
“There’s still a chance.”
Liam smiled hard at her, and the mood changed. The command ship was able to warp, but the balance between the non-ship and the escort was broken, so she could not retreat by warping with all the ships.
Of course, the aides suggested either retreating the command ship alone or a round-trip warp at the expense of the engine, but Liam refused.
“I can’t leave this place. The locals are locals, and the remaining troops on the ground must be withdrawn. Above all, we can’t just leave those monsters alone. If they reach our sphere of influence… Send it back properly. You’ll never be able to ignore it.”
“…All right!”
“It’s come to this, we have to end it here somehow.”
He looked out the window with a determined face and looked at the silently rotating planet.
It was a hope because they were unaware that a floating invading fortress, already the size of a city, had warped to one of their planets from the other side of this planet.
“First, we connect with the ground. They will move without any hesitation now. We have to save at least one more person until our nature’s support comes.”
The command ship, exhausted by all crew members, began to move again. The first thing they did was to inform the locals and occupying forces on the ground and retreat to a safe place where they could hold out.
“They say they’ve produced a class that’s comparable to that huge ship.”
“Yes. Our fleet was destroyed by the surprise and barely escaped, so we can’t protect the ground anymore. Hurry and escape.”
“…I see.”
Beyond the screen, Liam clicked his tongue at Austin’s tired face. The enemies had been tormenting the people relentlessly and tenaciously, and in the end they were about to end their lives without the slightest mercy.
“Certainly. If you’ve even avoided your eyes, they’ve come from other worlds to develop their strength.”
“That Redrium…”
“I don’t know how they thrived there.”
Even after the urgent business was over, Austin did not cut off contact. Liam’s eyebrows twitched.
Although it is a world classified as lower than themselves. However, the various magic that the wizard Austin showed was similar to a miracle for Liam, the commander of the Rebel Alliance, so Liam considered Austin important.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“…I must say this.”
Liam understood Austin’s intent, and Austin nodded. He concentrated on the wizard’s mouth, raising the tension.
“It must be one of their secrets…it wasn’t just magic that those who fought with us before you came stealing.”
“What do you mean?”
“There was an ordinary Society Research Wizard named Reina.”
Austin mumbled blankly and ruffled the story about Reina. Naturally, Liam was embarrassed because he could not understand most of the conferences and conferences, but first of all, he persevered and listened.
“I can’t even imagine the feeling of betrayal that the kid who was betrayed by his people must have felt betrayed. But what the heck they did, they made him a part of themselves. With great and mighty power. In the end, the kid was his resentment. and anger towards us.”
“Make people…a part of them.”
And Liam’s eyes widened at the shocking story that followed.
Although there was no solid evidence, Austin was convinced that Reina had become commander of the Legion and spearheaded the war against them.
And that means that the legion uses people. It was a natural fact, but it was said that the enemies were not a group of monsters that were driven by simple instincts.
“Certainly, they have the power to corrupt people. They deserve to be called the demons of hell.”
“The Devil of Hell, the Doom.”
Liam brought up the name the locals had testified to. An ancient monster that is said to have led everything to ruin.
It was a name that suited Liam, who does not know the local history, very well.
“Please be careful, commander. You never know when, where, or how the devil’s hand will unfold.”
Austin left the screen and turned the screen off. Alone in the office, he took off his hat and scratched his head violently.

“Their forces are rushing into the city!”
“A ship can’t go. Mobilize your aircraft as much as possible!”
Until the support of Nature, who replied yes, Liam was determined to fight as much as possible, he moved as aggressively as he could.
“Fighter launch!”
A squadron of fighter jets originally intended to escort the ship was dispatched to the scene by pulling the drones through the atmosphere.
This was the only way to hide as much as possible from space and help the earth.
“Ah… it’s a big deal! ‘Black Wings’ appeared in front!”
“Damn it. Get out of your seat!”
But it wasn’t long before it was discovered.
The enemies pursuing them are ships of similar size. And the one who leads those hulls is still the worst enemy, who is judged to be victorious even if they fight against this km-class command ship.
Liam ordered him to run away without looking back.
‘Our purpose is not to fight.’
He clenched his teeth as he watched the black wings chasing him. The enemy’s intention to completely annihilate the thorn-like fleet was obvious.
So, the goal was to run away as much as possible until support came.
“Catch up!”
The problem is that there is no result without sacrifice or damage.
The black wings that grabbed the rear tail of the fleet jumped up from the hull and rode aboard one of the rearmost frigates with their own propulsion.
“Ahhh! It’s invading! It broke into the ship! Support wind! Support…”
“Don’t slow down.”
Liam, unable to respond to the urgent request for assistance, gave an order by grinding his teeth.
Communication was cut off within a minute after the intrusion of the radio, and the frigate exploded with an explosion.
‘It’s unreasonable. A small human-sized aircraft has the firepower to destroy a ship. But if it’s Austin, wouldn’t the local wizards be able to do that?”
Liam sensed something as he saw the wing that escaped from the explosion after treating a ship as a single person.
The organic anti-ship tactics of ships and small aircraft shown by the enemies now were absurd from Liam’s point of view.
So a new approach was needed, and he didn’t think it was impossible.
Right now, local wizards like Austin also show power that transcends humans.
“Hey, are you going to put them on board a ship?”
“Because we have to do anything to live.”
His eyes were still on the black wings that pursued the fleet.
