captain realized that she can’t show such a pathetic figure in front of her subordinates and quickly gave her instructions.

“Send the information to the main fleet! Make it as detailed as possible! Prepare to return fire! Ready all gunports!”

At the captain’s command, the 4 eight-muzzles 25Mw compound cannons equipped on the cruiser take aim at the [Valizer].

“Cannons fully charged, all guns are ready to fire, ma’am.”

“First volley, Fire!”

Green beams were emitted from the cruiser, all accurately flooding toward the [Valizer].
However, just before reaching the [Valizer] the beams diffused, not leaving even a burn on its armor.
As a result, the gigantic weapon remained unscathed.

“It’s a Deflect Shield! The attack was ineffective, ma’am!”

“Ugh, this is bad! Evasive maneuver……..”

That was the end of the cruiser’s futile resistance.
The ultra-high power beam was fired at the cruiser again.
The cruiser was reduced to plasma and disappeared.
Not even a wreckage was left behind.

“Enemy craft destruction confirmed.
The [Valizer] suffered no damage.
It’s a perfect game, Major General.”

“That was just a lightly armed recon fleet.
It would be strange instead if it was not an easy win for us.”

Releasing the control stick, the captain indifferently replied.

“Do you know the story of how this thing was made? I heard that they poured enough resources to build 4 battleships to build this you know.”

“In other words, if we can’t show the results that are comparable to 4 battleships, this thing won’t be able to justify its construction cost right.
That’s some responsibility they’ve placed on us, ma’am.”

The gunner shrugs.
The captain also did the same and smiled while agreeing to her subordinate’s statement.

“Alright, let’s call it in.
Let’s see what our commander says about our performance.”

The captain operates the communication terminal with a smile on her face.
Since the Empire is in control of the communication network in this area, they do not have to worry about being eavesdropped on when they are using FTL voice communication.

“What? Contacting me like this, have you already sunk a battleship or something?”

The other end of the communication was no ordinary operator but Diaroze herself.
With their strategic value, all weapons that were classified into Mobile Fort class are equipped with a direct line to the supreme commander.

“No, it’s simply a small skirmish, ma’am.
We have destroyed a Calencian Scouting Fleet in our area.”

“Hmph, that’s all huh.”

Diaroze replied with a mocking tone but she was not serious about her question in the first place.
She knows full well that it is too early for them to encounter the enemy main fleet.

“Still, if your location was already exposed then the enemy main fleet will surely head your way.
I will send in some reinforcements so stay put until then.”

Due to its structure, the Mobile Fort’s movement is extremely slow.
That’s why they have to station it in a star system that the enemy’s main force is likely to pass through.

From the movement they detected so far, they’ve mostly predicted the location of their targets already.
Considering that the Calencian went out of their way to send a scout on this route, Diaroze is sure that her enemy will travel through this system.
Her plan is to consolidate the forces she had deployed to defend the other routes and launch a preemptive strike there.

“Understood.”

After replying in a serious tone, the captain cut off the communication and sighed.

“Now then, we’re going to get very busy soon.”
