Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

——The remaining crew, sixty-three people.

[The supply cabin is on fire! We must throw away the remaining ammunition! ]

[Control squad! Has the core area been hit? ! ]

[Focus on the battle! If the main structure is damaged, we will fall directly! ]

The anti-aircraft firepower of the Sunset Fortress is extremely fierce, and the artillery of the Yumenhua can only make a shallow pit on the solid hybrid shell at most.

And the enemy will shoot a super laser magic every few minutes, directly penetrating the defense of the Yumenhua, causing serious damage to the internal cabins and structures.

... How much time has passed?

Aarons, whose mental power is seriously overloaded and whose head is about to turn into a ball of paste, can't make a clear judgment at all.

"Captain! The main gun is overheated! If you shoot again, the whole cabin will melt!"

"Give up the main gun-Qianyun! Go and charge the central array immediately! Use all your magic power! Follow the order!"

[But, I can still... obey. 】

After losing the powerful rail gun, the firepower of the Yumenhua was reduced by about 30%.

Although the conventional artillery on both sides was still pouring terrifying firepower on the ground, more than a dozen artillery pieces had been damaged by the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and lasers - and more than 30 crew members had been lost.

The Yumen people, suppressed by firepower, no longer sent infantry to pursue the Empire's legions. Most of the Douqi warriors who could not attack the warships had begun to retreat to the rear of the fortress, and only a small number of magicians responsible for luring and interfering were still active.

If this continues, the Yumenhua will definitely not be able to achieve the intended goal.

"Is the logistics team still there? Immediately gather the reserve magic source stones in the central cabin... move quickly."

Because he had been using his mind to control the situation of the entire ship, every time the hull was damaged or someone was killed, Aarons's mind would be damaged to the same extent.

This excessive load had made him lose the strength to speak loudly - he could hardly even open his eyes.

[Logistics team received! But we only have three people left... Is there anyone who can help! ]

[There are still people in the engine room! We will soon--]

"Captain! The enemy's main gun is about to fire again! This time it is--"

Before the navigator could issue a warning, a dazzling beam of light instantly penetrated the Yumenhua, whose exterior was already full of scars and damage, and constantly emitting sparks and black smoke.

--The violent turbulence and swaying made everyone in the command room fall off their seats at once.

This shaking is not normal... The hull is tilting!

[The No. 2 Magic Source Furnace was hit! The magic power of the floating array is insufficient! ]

Is it going to crash?--The same thought emerged in everyone's mind at this time.

"...I will operate all the floating arrays! Others will abandon all unnecessary materials and damaged equipment to reduce the burden on the hull as much as possible!"

At this time, Aarons's already shaky spirit was once again forcibly connected to the hull of the Yumenhua.

"Captain?! Are you planning to..."

"Don't worry about me! Go do what you should do!"

To keep such a large-scale warship flying in the air, it all depends on thousands of floating arrays powered by the magic source furnace.

Normally, these arrays do not need to be specially charged by the crew, nor do they need to be manually operated-but now, at least half of the floating arrays have stopped operating due to the loss of magic power.

At this time, Aarons forcibly took over all the arrays with his mental power, and analyzed which ones were the key buoyancy support points at the fastest speed.

So the Yumenhua, which had almost completely lost its buoyancy and had been severely overturned, actually restored its balance again!

"Uh ah ah ah-I haven't..."

But the brain, whose mental power has been severely overdrawn, can no longer support Aarons to continue to maintain such high-intensity analysis and calculations.

And even if the balance is restored, the existing floating array is not enough to keep the hull at a high altitude.

[Hurry up! Gather all the broken things below! Unhook those isolated cabins! ]

[Medical team! If anyone is still alive, go to the command room and help the captain! Damn it... throw everything you can! ]

[Good brother, I'm sorry I can't bring you back... We'll go down to accompany you soon! ]

——The remaining crew, forty-six people.

...

The Ximu people finally felt terrified.

The black battleship had been riddled with holes under the fierce attack of the fortress, but there was still no sign of falling.

Even if the arrayThe guns had penetrated the core of the enemy, but the warship still recovered its balance from the capsizing in an incredible way - those naval guns that were still working were still bombarding their positions, turning the soldiers who had not had time to evacuate into ashes.

...What on earth were they fighting against?

"Look, they are throwing things down!"

Just when the morale of the Ximu people began to waver, the imperial warship that was constantly hovering over the fortress suddenly opened the huge hatch in its belly and dropped a large amount of unknown cargo.

- Those damaged artillery parts, burning supplies, the entire cabin that was damaged by the previous magic, and... the bodies of the dead crew members.

Corpses were raining down from the sky? Everyone on that ship was crazy... If they continued to fight, everyone would die!

When the Ximu people saw that the underpowered Yumenhua had thrown away a large number of assets without hesitation, and forcibly maintained the altitude despite heavy damage, the originally high morale was immediately covered by the spreading panic.

They really like to invade and kill, but they can't fight lunatics and monsters!

"Retreat! We can't beat that thing!"

"What nonsense! Our fortress is invincible! Anyone who dares to escape will be punished by military law!"

"Go to hell! I don't want to die with you!"

The increasingly serious panic soon turned into a minor mutiny in the Ximu army - many Ximu soldiers who were only temporarily recruited ignored the orders of their superiors and forcibly broke away from the battle sequence and fled to the rear.

Because the warship was still firing at the ground until now, no one knew whether the huge fortress occupied by the royal family would collapse in the next second under the opponent's life-threatening attack.

...

--The remaining crew, 32 people.

Even if the morale of the Ximu people had begun to waver, the Yumenhua was no longer able to continue fighting.

[The ammunition has been used up! What to do! ]

[Ha! If it doesn't work, go down and fight with those people! 】

The shells of the ship's guns have been completely exhausted, and the main structure of the hull has been damaged in many places. It may disintegrate directly in the air if it flies for a while.

However, even so, the surviving crew members have not given up.

[Captain... My lord, the central array has been charged, please give instructions. 】

Aarons, whose brain was already in chaos and whose body had almost collapsed on the seat, finally heard the report of Mo Qianyun, who had been sent to perform an important mission.

Central array... Yes, this is his last trump card.

"Shipwide report... All those who are still alive, go to the lifeboat immediately... Prepare to abandon the ship."

"Captain?! What are you doing--"

"This is not deserting! It is to continue fighting the enemy--follow the order!"

Although no one understood why Aarons gave such an order at this time, the crew decided to trust his judgment.

And Aarons also supported the last bit of strength in his body, and with the help of the navigators, he walked out of this room that was not very suitable for him.

"Ah, next, it's my turn..."

But in the cabin where the sound of cracks and explosions continued, no one heard his whispers.
