Comfortable Victory

Many Flying Biters were shot down by the salvo of the three torpedo guns, but even so, there were still a large number of Flying Biters on the port side of the magic airship. At a quick look, I wonder if it's less than 30.

　Attacking all at once seems like a pretty dangerous number, but unfortunately the Flying Biters weren't that bad. One individual had its sight and hearing damaged by the aftermath of the thunderbolt gun. Perhaps frightened by the appearance of his fallen comrades, he is trying to escape. In other words, it was a state of complete collapse of the enemy forces.

"You're scared! Shoot me!"

"Shoot!"

　Of course, it's not Ted and Darko who miss the opportunity. Under their command, the musketeers begin to shoot the Flying Biters.

"Don't be surprised. The Wyvern will still come at you even if you're hit by a thunderbolt gun."

"There aren't that many monsters that come at you with lightning strikes with that output. Wyverns are sub-dragons even if they rot.

"I see"

　It seems that Flying Biters are considerably weaker monsters than I had assumed. Or rather, was it strange that I was thinking based on the Wyvern?

"I thought some of them would come out."

"The lightning cannon hit it well.

"Did you grasp the attack range of the lightning gun just by looking at it once?

　It's so bright that I can barely see anything. I wonder if the dragon cavalry is terrifying.

"Oh, I've been attacked."

"Some of them are going to pass"

　Maybe they were desperate, or maybe their slaughter instinct as a monster allowed them to overcome fear and damage, but the Flying Biters, whose numbers had been reduced to about 5, rushed into the magic airship. The magic gun soldiers tried to stop it, but no matter how powerful the magic guns were, they weren't enough to push back the speeding monster's body. As a result, two Flying Biters jumped onto the deck.

"Oops, this guy is tough"

　Take your assault rifle out of the shortcut and keep it ready to fire. One of the two seems to have already died, but the other seems to be still alive despite being injured.

"a"

"Of course it will"

　It was a Flying Biter that threatened its surroundings by raising its gigantic scythe neck, but its body was stabbed with blades by multiple shadows that swiftly jumped at it, or it was torn apart, and it was almost impossible to resist and it ended up dying. Ta.

"Fuhaha! I got the first spear!"

"What do you say, the number one spear is the members of the Melinard Kingdom?"

"I don't know who's the best spear with that weapon."

"Unlike on the sea, your feet don't sway, so it's easy."

"... If you fall from the ship more than the sea, you won't be saved."

　The spectators, who were eagerly awaiting their place of action, acted very quickly. It's good that you were early, but do you guys remember your mission? After all, it's your job to observe our battles, not to perform military exploits, right? Could it be that they are all brain muscles?

"Kosuke"

"Well. I'll clean up the corpses."

　Saying that, I went down from the bridge to the deck and decided to go and store the corpse of the Flying Biter in my inventory.

"Ah, no matter how many times you smell it, you won't get used to it."

　The thick smell of blood resounds in my brain. It's not that kind of level that it's so dark and fragrant. It will be difficult to clean the deck afterwards.

"Yes, yes, I'll collect the corpse, so let's go through it for a while."

　Just in case, I approach the corpse of the Flying Biter while still holding the assault rifle, and store the corpse of the one that the spectators killed in my inventory. The spectators raise their voices in surprise at the sudden disappearance of the Flying Biter's giant body, but the magic musketeers are used to it.

"HM..."

　After confirming that he's dead, the other magic gunners examine the dead body. From the looks of it, the magic musketeer's gunfire seems to penetrate the scales and skin of the Flying Biter without any problems, and inflict tremendous damage on the body. The bullets that grazed the torso part also cut off the scales and skin and dealt damage, so it seems that the Flying Biter's defensive power is low enough to deal damage no matter what it hits.

　Well, even if I say it's low, it's a Wyvern to be compared, so if it's said that it's a mistake to compare it, it might be true.

"It seems that the shooting effect is fine."

"Yes. After all, it seems to be considerably more fragile than a wyvern."

　It seems that Ted, who was nearby before I knew it, also confirmed the damage that the magic gun does to the Flying Biter's body, just like me. Darko then approaches with two liaisons.

"Your Excellency, we have received an inquiry whether we can guide the next group."

"It looks like there's no problem. Please tell me to lure the next group after watching the time required for replenishment."

"roger that"

　At least, if it's a group of the same size, it seems to be able to handle it without problems. If the same number of Flying Biters flew by, the next one would probably be able to shoot them down without being able to escape. The only condition is that the attack with the thunderbolt cannon is decided well.

"If the lightning guns don't work well, there will be a melee, so brace your soldiers. That's why if you see something wrong with the torpedo cannon, report it immediately.Even if the port side can't work, there's still a torpedo cannon on the starboard side."

"Understood"

　Even if 10 or more flying biters escape, the maximum number of flying biters that can board the deck will be around 6 or 7, but there is a possibility that other flying biters will attack the magic airship itself. There is The magic airship's hull is mainly made of enchanted wood, so it's reasonably sturdy, but I don't know how much it can withstand the attacks of flying biters. In the worst case, the ship could be destroyed and crash. I definitely want to avoid that.

　After that, it's a lightning gun, but if you shoot it continuously, it will break occasionally. It seems that the magic circuit will overheat and burn out if it is used many times due to the large amount of magic input. The problem was discovered during training in the Sorel Mountains, but as expected, it wasn't in time for this trip. The research and development department is currently researching a next-generation model with improved reliability.

"When we return to Grad, the flying biter we collected will be roasted whole… it's too big, so let's cut it into round slices and grill it vigorously."

　15 to 20 meters in length, the girth of the snake is thicker than Aira. There must be something to eat. I don't know if it tastes good. Come to think of it, I didn't hear about the taste of the meat. Should I ask Isla later?
