I Became an Academy Attack Helicopter - Chapter 138



138 – Chapter 43. Battle of the North Sea – 3

– 139 –

The Bartiers, with over one hundred spirits, must have been the most unusual of the ships that filled the sea.

For humans, there are 4 people including me, Bartiers, and my friends.

Ironically, the spirit-filled Bartiers was commanding a fleet of Confederates whose members were mostly human.

Crew members were spirits who acted as parts or assistants in other ships.

Here, the spirits were not parts, but a soldier who moved according to their respective roles.

“At first, we will face off with long-range artillery fire from battleships. It’s a few kilometers away and it’s dark now, so you don’t have to go out on your own.”

“Then when are we going to be deployed?”

“A little later. We should consider airborne operations for the time being, since we have the upper hand in surface power and the enemy is superior in air power. I’ve brought a bunch of anti-aircraft guns, so let’s sink the enemy planes into the sea first.”

Bartiers turned to the sea.

An enemy fleet hidden in the darkness was advancing against the backdrop of the Easel Continent, where a faint light was burning like dawn in the distance.

“When the full-scale warfare begins, it shows that you and the heroes are here. Then they won’t be able to get it without running away.”

“After all, it’s a bait role.”

“It’s not always like that. Don’t complain about having too many roles later.”

“What other role?”

Bartiers glanced at Chermia and Shane, who were talking from a distance.

Shane went to and from the battlefield in the North Sea in the last Imperial Civil War, and she seems to be sharing that experience with Chermia.

“Before landing on the easel, we must test the strength of the warriors, but now is the right time.”

“Last time I saw you in the spirit world, fight well. The body is also strong.”

“No, it’s not about that… …. You’ll know when the battle begins. When the order is given, we mobilize together with the aircraft waiting in the rear carrier.”

Bartiers took a deep breath and headed to his command room to give orders to his fleet.

The power of a warrior.

There seems to be something else I don’t know.

Bartiers, like me, even went to another world during the Shinma War, but knows a lot of things I don’t know.

As a humanoid spirit, I should blame the past me for living without thinking too much.

There was an unprecedented tension in the sea.

After coming out to the material world, the size became smaller, but the spirits were moving weapons and ships without any problem.

After the bell rang a few times, the spirits started running around busily.

After a while, the guns moved in unison.

The target is a large battleship that attacks from the front at a frightening speed.

Above it, an Asmodian aircraft that departed from the land was slowly approaching in the form of a small black dot.

“Developing the shield. Please be prepared for impact in the event of a hit.”

A few seconds after the ship’s announcement came out, a translucent membrane was placed over the hull except for the gun barrel.

Then, the bombardment began.

[[Load complete!]]

Tubang!

Magic exits the barrel and creates a roar.

The spirit who was observing the enemy fleet using telescope and detection magic at the same time raised a red flag.

[[It hits the front of the target. Keep firing, and fire after 10 seconds!]]

[[Please open the Manastone slot!]]

The spirits remove the consumable manastones that have run out of mana and load new manastones.

Chermia rolled her feet when she saw the childlike intermediate water spirits running around the deck.

“Everyone is a full-fledged soldier, so don’t worry.”

“But… ….”

Contrary to Cermia’s concerns, her spirits were faithful to their respective duties.

And I don’t know, but I fight well.

As the ship suddenly began to turn, the enemy’s artillery magic poured into the course it had just taken.

The unarmed spirits of the Bartiers, who again calculated the cannon and magical power, counterattacked.

A light flashed from a distance that could not be seen with the naked eye.

For a few minutes, colorful magical flames lit the sky and sea.

Every time the Bartiers’ cannons blew fire, a fire broke out in the sea.

The steel ships dug from the earth were sinking one by one into the sea.

“Overwhelming.”

“That’s right. Clearly, this is the superiority of maritime power.”

The enemy fleet exchanged bombardment several times, and then slowly retreated.

Instead, black dots that were attacking both ends of the friendly fleet started flying overhead.

Why-

With the sound of sirens, the spirits were busy looking for anti-aircraft guns.

There were some who came out with personal firearms, but the enemy’s air power was not as strong as I thought.

Kooung

[[f*ck!]]

An impact strong enough to shake the entire shield around her ship struck the Bartiers.

The spirits running around carrying the magic stone box fell on the deck and some of the gun barrels caught fire.

[[Digestive class!]]

The water spirits waiting behind them gathered their strength to cast fire extinguishing magic.

The fire that seemed to engulf the cannon was quickly extinguished.

However, high-level magic and tangible bombs continued to knock on the shield.

An anti-aircraft gun formed a bloody net to drop the aircraft, but the sturdy and large planes flew freely through the dark skies.

“Is it a bomber? It’s more powerful than you think. It’s far from the mainland, but a lot of planes came.”

“Anti-aircraft artillery has its limits. It looks like we’ll have to step in, but the enemy is in control of the air…….”

Looking up at the sky, Shane grinded his teeth.

At that time, one of Bartiers’ lieutenants with a familiar face approached us.

Giving her a simple eye-to-eye, she grabbed a panel and a communicator, busily communicated and explained the situation.

[[The Confederate aircraft carrier is waiting behind you. We’re going to send out our planes soon. I hope Erif-sama and the heroes will also come forward.]]

“I’m ready.”

What we needed was already loaded into each aircraft, and we could take out our weapons anytime, anywhere.

The lieutenant dropped a drop of water on our pendants one by one and saluted with the panel on his side.

[[You have activated the direct channel. The commander and the command post will issue orders directly. Please lead us to victory.]]

“Rager.”

After returning to the lieutenant, we summoned our respective relics.

The helicopter summoned to a relatively cramped deck than the carrier temporarily disrupted traffic.

“We’ll go first.”

“Wait. Take this.”

I took the magic stone from my arms and handed it to Chermia and Shane.

They tilted their heads as if they needed an explanation.

“It is a magic stone that contains the power of ‘Mirage Sanctuary’. If you inject more than a certain amount of mana, you can fool your location for a few seconds.”

“Thank you. There is nothing we can give… This?”

Chermia rummaged through her pockets and pulled out something from her.

Oh. Chocolate sea. Seeing that makes me hungry

“Thank you.”

He snatched the chocolate bar from Zermia and got on her body.

We playfully saluted each other and then started the engine.

In an instant, a friendly fighter squadron scrambled out with a roaring sound from behind.

[[Many fighters are dispatched from the carrier. Erif-sama, Call Sign Echo 1 and Heroes, Call Sign Echo 2, please hurry up.]]

“「Large.」”

The gold dragons of the warriors, who caused inconvenience to the deck passage due to their large size, soared into the sky first.

Seeing the spirits startled by the sound of the heavy main rotor, I also finished preparing for the ascent.

“Altitude 50 meters. Continuing to rise. We have a safe distance, so we can take off.”

“Okay.”

Night flight, plus naval battles.

It wasn’t like this during the Shinma War, but back then, I was with Arumanan, so it wasn’t a situation where air power was pushed back like it is now.

It was a sortie in an unfavorable situation, but rather than frightening or frightening, it was strangely creepy and exciting.

The sense of being a natural hunter permeated his entire body.

I flew into the dark sky and summoned the new spirit that came in last time.

“You’re the youngest. You’re going to have to play a lot today.”

[[Please give only orders.]]

The third manastone resonated and glowed green.

The preparation is over.

I flew towards the night sky covered with black darkness.

Shuung-

Most of the friendly fighters passing by us were mass-produced Locke types.

He continued to increase his altitude while cheering for them who were fighting fiercely with the demon fighters.

“Two sidewinders.”

[[Load complete!]]

I turned my head to aim at the fighters flying in this direction, blew the sidewinder, and then made an evasive maneuver.

The attack shot from the fighter passed past the body’s feet, and they were caught by the sidewinder and escaped without being able to turn, but exploded in mid-air.

I went straight to my original goal.

“Erif. We’ll be fighting fighters here.”

“Please. Don’t forget to put on a thick shield.”

「Yes.」

I decided to deal with the bomber squadron that was bombarding the friendly fleet while the helicopters of the warriors who were slow and weak despite being hit by any attack caught their attention while countering the fighters.

It is difficult to even breathe with bare body.

I went through the clouds with the main rotor to find the bomber squadron.

I followed the trajectory of the fire net created by the friendly anti-aircraft gun, and at the end of it, black and thick bombers were flying together.

The fighters that were flying next to it speeded up and turned around and headed this way.

The number of objects is five.

It was a little too much to handle with the sidewinder.

Should I use the Manastone of Wind? Not. This should be saved as a hidden card.

If the enemy’s air power is this much, there might be ‘that guy’.

Instead, we decided to use the 3rd Manastone inhabited by the youngest in a different way.

“Can you shoot Sidewinder and Hellfire at the same time?”

[[Yes. It is possible to double the number of mana stones for arming.]]

“Okay. Hellfire, Sidewinder reload. I will shoot myself.”

[[Larger.]]

Magic power was so concentrated that both wings trembled.

With countless exercises, he aimed his hands at the enemies and fired the loaded magic one after the other.

The fire burning in hell and the rattlesnake of the desert ran through the sky to bite the nape of the steel flying beast.

The fighters instantaneously created a dark shield, but that didn’t protect them.

The wide-open Hellfire was no longer red.

I did my own power-up, so the dark red flames mixed with black burned down the shields of the fighters and even devoured the aircraft.

Tong

I got hit a lot by the magic shot by the fighters while making a big attack, but it happened countless times.

I quickly restored the shield by using magic power and confirmed the stability of the aircraft to the subordinate spirits.

[[Nothing is wrong!]]

“Okay. Keep going.”

It was probably the enemy elite soldiers who drove the fighter, and the relatively low destructive power of the Sidewinder was blocked by the shield.

It flew towards the bomber, ignoring the three fighter jets that flew quickly behind them.

Magnite bullets flew from the bomber, but they didn’t even reach me, let alone touch the shield.

He continued to rise and climbed over the head of the bomber squadron.

I thought about how to catch them before they disperse while avoiding the meaningless magic bullets that keep flying.

If it is a barrier that is visible to the naked eye, the wind will not pass through, and Hellfire will not work unless it is a large, concentrated shot.

If you catch them one by one, the fighters will come back with reinforcements.

“We should deal with it all at once.”

I released the mounted drone and mini-helicopter by pressing the eject button.

Drones and mini-helicopters began to eagerly carry what was stored in the main body’s storage onto the bomber.

After giving a threatening shot towards the place where the magic bullet was flying, they started to catch the bombers one by one.

I deliberately put a lot of effort into collecting the Hellfire as much as possible, and with low power.

As expected, the Hellfire failed to remove all of the bomber’s shield.

It was a kind of trickery.

In hopes of surviving, the bombers began to scatter.

In the meantime, the orbiting fighters fired magic and missiles at me.

“It’s a tea.”

This time it was a little dangerous.

The missile almost hit the main rotor.

After successfully evading, I threw a sidewinder on their tails to turn their gaze away.

You have to finish it slowly and run away.

[[Installation completed.]]

“Okay. Everyone come back.”

I picked up drones and mini-helicopters and lowered the altitude as if they were falling.

The fighters and bombers started forming formations again without chasing me after an hour-

Qwaang!

With a loud bang, the overhead lights up.

“Attached bomb, useful.”

It flew towards the next target, avoiding the debris of the aircraft falling around it.
