Chapter 29 - Complete Victory in the Betasia Star System Area, and a Large-Scale Enemy Offensive at the Level of Certain Defeat for the Gialpha Galaxy Empire
~Navigating toward the space around the Fourth Planet of the Gialpha Star System (Capital Planet) (Half a day remaining until arrival)~
After finishing the battle that saved the Betasia Star System from crisis, Sangou stopped by the main planet of the Betasia Star System, and from there, set a new course toward the capital planet and began navigation.
That voyage was being completed at more than eighty percent using Sangou's full speed, throwing caution to the wind.
The reason it had come to that was because, while Jin was in the middle of greeting his father-in-law, an 'urgent video record requesting the return of Jin and Sangou' arrived from the Imperial Capital.
However, the return request, which had a high possibility of becoming an emergency, contained no detailed information.
Well, that was understandable — even if the information could be delivered from the Imperial Capital to the Betasia Star System at the fastest possible speed, it was far from real-time.
In this case, it was a hasty transmission from the Imperial Capital even before they had detailed information.
No matter how much Sangou was a biological spaceship boasting 'ultra-fast speed' that stood apart from others, returning from a frontier star system to the capital planet required a considerable amount of time.
If the call had been made only after a decisive situation requiring Sangou had occurred, it would have been too late.
And, at least in this matter, the hasty transmission was the correct decision.
This would likely be evidence that the combination of the Gialpha Galaxy Empire's Emperor and Laura had excellent judgment and decisiveness, and that they were by no means incompetent.
In any case, Sangou was currently charging toward the Imperial Capital at full speed, and at the stage when the remaining voyage had finally fallen below half a day, they learned that communications like the roars of the Imperial Military were flying about chaotically.
Of course, those were things whose communication waves had attenuated so much that they could not even be picked up by receivers produced with the Gialpha Galaxy Empire's level of technology.
Also, considering the time it took for them to reach Sangou's current position, they were undoubtedly old information.
Still, though.
It was a fact that things became clear from those continuously flowing transmissions.
While Jin, Sangou, and Kichou added together — the strongest fighting force of the Gialpha Galaxy Empire — were fighting one army of the mineral lifeform invasion force, the territory of the Gialpha Galaxy Empire had begun to be trampled from the other seven invasion routes.
A star system where a different army from the one Jin and the others had succeeded in annihilating first made contact.
There, a standing Imperial Military garrison existed.
The garrison judged the attacking mineral lifeforms as space beasts, and while astonished at their numbers, devoted themselves to a desperate delaying action, resulting in the 'complete annihilation of the entire unit' with not a single soldier returning alive.
Evacuation orders were issued to all star systems near the enemy's invasion routes, and combined with information suggesting that 'the friendly garrison in the relevant star system has been completely annihilated', it became a huge uproar of chaos.
That was the content of the communication waves Sangou received.
Well, that aside, what about the details of Sangou and the others' 'battle outside the Betasia Star System' before this situation arose?
Then, let us trace the flow from when Sangou asked what the captain had been doing during the battle, up to the present.
"Even if you ask me 'What were you doing?', well... it's obviously an attack on the enemy, right."
"Of course I understand that. What Sangou wants to confirm is only 'what kind of thing that attack is?' Please disclose the information."
Sangou did not get angry at Jin's off-target answer, but deflected it.
Then, in order to draw out the desired answer, Sangou pressed the question further.
A biological spaceship that did not mistake priorities and emphasized efficiency.
The thinking of an artificial intelligence differs from that of humans who have emotions.
And Jin, who was made aware that he had conveyed content that was not requested, quickly began his explanation.
"Before I met Sangou. Basically, in the place where I was doing the Hero's job, there were often traps derived from magic, you see. From the time Sangou started hit-and-run shooting in this battlefield, I was scattering them over a wide area as far as my ability allowed. And then, 'it's about time the enemies start getting caught on them'."
"I see. So you set traps. However, Captain. It would be good if all the enemies step on the traps, but if they remain in this space, wouldn't they be dangerous in the future? Since they are traps that Sangou cannot detect, it is likely that 'they are also impossible for the Gialpha Galaxy Empire's ships to detect'."
"That's not a problem. If they remain unexploded, it's dangerous, so just in case, I've made sure they disappear after seven days!"
To be honest, the seven-day period set for disappearance was simply decided intuitively, and there was actually no rationale for hazard avoidance.
But, it was hard to imagine that the Gialpha Galaxy Empire's ships would venture into the current space outside the nebula.
Normally, there should be no reason to do so.
Also, if Jin properly warned his allied father-in-law about this matter, that should be sufficient as a safety measure.
If any ship existed that ignored the dangerous space area announcement issued by Count Betasia and entered near Sangou's current position, it would almost certainly be from a hostile force to Count Betasia.
Well, there was incidentally the special precedent of 'Jin and Sangou', but for such an extremely low-probability event, it would be appropriate to overlook it in this case.
That aside, the method Jin adopted this time was to install a large number of magic traps.
This fundamental idea was the same as the scattering of 'mines' or 'land mines' in Earth's history of war.
The difference was only that since they were magical, they had 'no so-called physical substance'.
Furthermore, to ensure they did not react to Sangou's fired shots, there was a fine detail of setting activation conditions based on 'determining by the size of the target, whether it activates or not'.
Although the actual effect of the magic traps was still unknown, for Jin it was better than nothing, and his perception was that 'it would be lucky if we could reduce the enemy even a little'.
And Kichou, who was in the same bridge, sensitively detected the unnatural flow of magical power caused by Jin doing that.
The Divine Dragon quickly noticed the content of Jin's action, and having noticed, clung to him to receive magical power and cooperate in setting the magic traps.
Kichou, having evolved into a Divine Dragon, had a dramatically increased range of abilities.
At this time, Kichou had changed her appearance to that of her young dragon days following Jin's earlier words, but her abilities themselves were not much different from those of an original Divine Dragon.
Kichou, who was disguising her appearance, intended not to let anyone take the 'cute pet slot' away from her, which was a trivial matter unrelated to combat.
The two magic users — one human and one dragon — were installing them without any restraint, and those were common traps in the world where the Louvre Empire existed, and because they were common, countermeasures were also established.
However, in this world where magical power and magic basically did not exist, they transformed into extremely dangerous things that 'could not be discovered or deactivated by anyone other than Jin and Kichou'.
Furthermore, even if the mechanism of the magic traps themselves was the same, there was a violent difference in 'the amount of magical power poured into them being completely different'.
In fact, compared to those in the fantasy world, the destructive power and effective range were so different that it was ridiculous to even compare them.
However, Jin and Kichou were both indifferent to that and did not care in the slightest.
This state was possible because there was no intention to 'definitely finish off the enemy with traps', but even that would be a trivial matter.
That aside, in past wars on Earth, what tragedies did minefields created by scattered land mines bring after the war?
Jin, who properly had knowledge of that part, had taken the aforementioned consideration for post-war safety.
Furthermore, Kichou understood Jin's magic and similarly set a disappearance period.
The scattering of 'land mines' and 'sea mines', which were inhumane weapons, was of course prohibited on Earth (with exceptions by some countries that did not ratify treaties), in the world of the Louvre Empire, and in this world's Imperial Military.
However, in this case, the location was what it was, and the opponent was what it was.
As an additional note, the areas where the Imperial Military prohibited setting and scattering them did not include the space outside the nebula, the so-called 'outer space'.
And Jin's own thinking that made that decision was in a state of 'Mwahaha! As long as we win using any dirty trick, it's fine!' and mentally he was not acting like a protagonist or hero at all.
The mineral lifeforms and Mocks, who had begun to change from dense formation movement to a march incorporating dispersion and evasive actions as Sangou's bombardment started hitting.
After they settled down and the hits decreased, they suddenly faced a situation of being exposed to mysterious explosive attacks.
Of course, it was simply them falling into the magic traps that Jin and Kichou had been installing wildly.
But however, though.
From the perspective of the mineral lifeforms and Mocks, it was only 'a situation where in empty space, with no sign of attack from the enemy, and yet suddenly being attacked by explosions'.
Therefore, the mineral lifeforms ran around in panic.
That behavior was not particularly strange.
However, it could be said that 'the natural actions on the enemy's part were the worst possible match for 'Jin and Kichou's magic trap attack''.
For the mineral lifeform army, a vicious cycle of 'additional damage from magic traps' occurred, and by some coincidence, a Mock was caught in the first one and shot down.
Jin, with his malicious thinking, placed zones with particularly heavy scattering along the anticipated march route, alternating with blank zones with nothing.
"We finally made it out of the danger zone."
At the point where 'a relieved thought like that would pop out from the enemy's side', the first aim of Jin's method at that time was 'one more time'.
Furthermore, he laid the traps also with the element of 'to prevent Sangou from being unable to approach if the enemy stopped their advance'.
Though, in that case, 'it could also be handled by removing them by detonating the scattered traps with a self-destruct method'.
In any case, with such a one-sided flow of attacks, the damage suffered by the mineral lifeform side quickly piled up.
At the point when it was confirmed that the number of enemies in this direction had decreased by over half, Sangou, who had been continuing bombardment while watching the situation's progress, called out to the captain.
"Captain. The Mock reaction disappeared at the point when the first magic trap activated. The Mock thought to be the commander is gone, and now, even though their strength is halved, the enemy shows no sign of retreating. This behavior is abnormal. As originally predicted, isn't there a detached force? This side is probably a diversion."
Actually, upon arriving at the Betasia Star System and detecting the enemy, Jin and Sangou had already foreseen the existence of a detached force.
Jin had entrusted to Orega the transmission of video data created with the preface that it was 'only a prediction' to the Emperor and Imperial Military.
That prediction was now supported by the enemy's actions.
"Yeah. Kichou. What's your intuition? If you sense anything about what happens after this, tell me immediately."
"Yes, Master. I don't feel anything right now, but when I do, I will tell you at once, desu-. By the way, Master, may I go outside a bit? I haven't tried my breath yet, so I'd like to try it once, desu-."
"Oh! Sure! That's right. How about we go out together when we're ten days away from the Betasia Star System? Ah, at that time, I'll ask Sangou to fall back a bit and handle the ones we miss. It's not dangerous except for Mocks, right?"
"Yes. There is only the energy issue, but if it looks like we'll run low, I'll deal with it by consuming asteroids. If it still looks insufficient, I'll call out to the captain, is that alright?"
"Yeah, that's fine. I'll come back immediately for magical power supply then. Ah! If I go out with Kichou, could I possibly become a 'Dragon Knight'? Wait, no. In this case, it's not 'dragon' (竜), so is it 'Dragon Rider' (龍)? Isn't that a thrilling development!"
In the Louvre Empire, 'Dragon Knight' was a legendary existence, and for Jin, it was also an object of admiration.
Moreover, the superior 'Dragon Rider' was something that had no precedent in the past.
In other words, it would be the first in history, so it was natural for Jin's heart to race, and it was understandable.
Thus, the time to sortie finally arrived.
The Dragon Rider Jin also wore sub-unit equipment made by Sangou, and his chuuni power was at full blast.
Jin, who had a tendency to start with appearances, chose a spear instead of his usual sword as his attack weapon at this time.
That was a choice made in an attempt to match the image of a Dragon Rider.
Even though he had never used it once since obtaining it, he took out the Holy Spear that had been gathering dust in his Storage Space and even equipped it for that reason.
"(The sub-unit equipment feels close to that thing, isn't this already that? Might I have already awakened to that next sense, easily surpassing the sixth sense?)"
That his heart was hot and he fell into such thoughts was one of Jin's secrets to take to the grave.
Of course, there was no fact that the Hero at that time had awakened to a new realm of sensation.
All of that was only within Jin's delusions, and the reality was that there was absolutely none of it at all.
In any case, from that flow, the rampage of the Dragon Rider mode Jin and Kichou's combination began.
The disparity in forces was 'approximately three million mineral lifeforms vs. a single Dragon Rider', a number difference unthinkable on a battlefield.
However, once the battle started, the war situation became one-sided despite the overwhelming numerical difference.
Only the number of enemies decreased dramatically in a short time, and they were being annihilated.
Incidentally, at the initial stage, it is a secret known only to Jin and Kichou that the Hero, who realized 'Hey? I haven't learned spear techniques, have I!', secretly returned the Holy Spear to his Storage Space and switched to the Holy Sword.
To add, Jin had a vow in his heart during the battle.
"(Once I finish this battle and return to the Imperial Capital, I will train in spear techniques!)"
He went into a thought that was unnecessarily similar to a death flag, but it could also be said that 'despite being in battle, he even had the leeway to think such things'.
Of course, this battle ended with all enemies being annihilated without issue.
No matter how many there were, 'an opponent that absolutely does not flee as an enemy' was in a sense easy.
Thus, the Dragon Rider returned to Sangou without a scratch.
"Master. Unlimited breath is super fun, desu-."
Kichou, who had returned to her young dragon form with magic, playfully gave Jin what seemed like a battle report in Sangou's bridge.
"Is that so. That's good, then."
"Please let me do it again another time. And my intuition tells me that 'the danger in this direction is gone', desu-. Let's go home."
Kichou's breath was different from magic.
It was definitely different, but it was an attack method that consumed magical power heavily.
Therefore, normally, after three shots, magical power would be depleted and it would end, and subsequent shots would depend on recovery.
In short, it was a high-output area attack at the level of being able to fire once every few hours.
Such a trump card attack was released from usage restrictions by Jin riding on her back and continuously supplying magical power.
Kichou, who had spammed breath attacks, gained a lot of experience points in this battle.
Given those circumstances, it was no wonder she was having fun, and Kichou's words showed that clearly.
Well, aside from that, at the point when enemies disappeared from the detection range of Jin and Sangou, and Kichou gave a safety declaration of sorts, there was no longer any use for the space near the Betasia Star System.
Then, Jin's next action was decided.
"Is that so. Well, I'll just send a greeting communication to father-in-law and then head back to the Imperial Capital. Sangou, please."
"Yes, Captain. First, we'll head to the main planet of the Betasia Star System. That aside, hasn't the captain's combat ability increased compared to the time of the space locusts?"
Because Jin was also leveling up from the experience points gained from defeated enemies, Sangou's question was natural.
However, Jin had no way to know his own level.
Therefore, he just didn't care about it, but that was a trivial matter.
"Is that so? Well, maybe I'm getting trained and stronger by moving my body."
Jin's too careless answer.
From Sangou's perspective, the 'improvement in physical abilities' and 'optimization through combat experience' that the captain talked about as 'growth through moving the body' simply did not match the 'objective phenomenon of increased combat ability'.
"(Isn't that wrong?)"
Sangou thought that, but still, Sangou could not point out the cause of the captain's strengthened combat ability with clear evidence.
Because of that, then.
"(Let's just go with 'Because the captain is outrageous!' and be done with it.)"
Sangou reached a state of resignation.
The match ended there.
What match, exactly?
That point remains a mystery.
Thus, Jin and the others successfully averted the crisis for father-in-law.
They completed the formal greetings and were about to depart from the Betasia Star System, but was it the Hero's power of fate that it would not end there?
Jin gave instructions to Sangou to head to the Imperial Capital at maximum speed.
The situation, from this flow, connects to the opening scene.
"Captain. We will reach a distance where real-time communication with the Imperial Capital is possible in approximately two hours. We have received a recorded video data from His Majesty the Emperor in advance."
"Understood. I'll watch it properly later, but for now, what's the content?"
Jin tried to first hear a summary of the recorded video's content from Sangou.
This was literally a shortcut, but since it was also rational, it was a difficult response to evaluate.
Well, for this kind of thing, as long as the results are produced, it's fine.
"Yes. All areas of the Free Democratic Alliance's influence are wiped out. Five fleets of the Imperial Military's strength sortied for interception, and that portion is already in a state of annihilation and defeat. The enemy's scale is seven invasion armies, each equivalent to ten million ships. Because the enemy's invasion speed is not fast, the evacuation of general citizens is proceeding without issue. However, while there is no immediate problem, if the abandoned star systems cannot be made functional within a year, a serious food problem will emerge in a few years. The interception force is mobilized to the limit with fifty-five fleets and one hundred mobile fortresses. That is all for the content. There are no particular orders, commands, or requests, just a situation report. To put it mildly, it is a 'crisis for the survival of the Gialpha Galaxy Empire'."
The mobilization strength of the Imperial Military that Sangou mentioned was greater than when facing the super-giant fortress in the war against the Alliance (see chapter 22).
This was simply because there was a net increase from incorporating the former Alliance forces into the Imperial Military.
However, since the clear foreign hostile forces had been eliminated for the Gialpha Galaxy Empire, disarmament had been slightly progressing.
Well, this was only a reduction in numbers by retiring old ships, so the total number of ships decreased, but the overall reduction in combat power was kept to a minimum.
"Um. Even if we assume we can fight on equal terms with equal numbers, that means 'the Imperial Military's mobilized strength can barely handle one invasion army'?"
"In terms of numbers, that would be the case. That is the status without factoring in the combat capability of 'biological spaceships' that might exist—no, that almost certainly exist. In an ordinary war, there would be no choice but surrender. However, when the opponent is space beasts, surrender is not possible."
"(Isn't this completely hopeless?)"
Jin thought that instantly.
But, it was certain that giving up would only mean losing everything.
Also, though Jin and the others did not know, the enemy's purpose included the seizure of mithril.
Therefore, then.
Even if they gave up fighting, abandoned victory for the Gialpha Galaxy Empire, and Jin personally snatched only the people he wanted to save and fled, they would surely be pursued to the ends.
After all, the enemy's war aim was the extermination of the people of Gialpha Galaxy, so fleeing would only be a temporary measure.
However, regardless of whether he knew that or not, the reality was that for Jin, this was not a matter he could easily give up on.
Therefore, it was a predetermined course that he would call out to Sangou, saying 'I have to figure out a way somehow'.
"Sangou. If we set the victory condition for this matter to 'We survive, and at worst the Gialpha Empire continues to exist without problems', is there a way to achieve it?"
"Yes. Calculated from the enemy's invasion speed, if we set the victory condition to 'the Gialpha Star System where the capital planet is located remains untouched', it is not impossible to defeat them in detail. However, of course, it is not a simple story, and it would be 'by any means necessary'."
"Huh? There's a way?"
An unexpectedly stupid-sounding word slipped from Jin's mouth at the unexpected reply from Sangou.
"(Hey, there is a way! What happened to 'crisis for survival'?)"
Such words followed and crossed Jin's mind.
Then, at the point when he thought that far, a bad feeling came strongly from the 'by any means necessary' part that Sangou had mentioned, and this was certainly not a trivial matter to dismiss.
"I'm afraid to confirm it, but I can't avoid it. So, about that 'by any means necessary', can you tell me what kind of method it is?"
"Yes. First, have the Imperial Military send all their forces toward the nearest invasion army and have them fight there. If they can win, good. Even if they can't win, have them buy as much time as possible. Then, the rest all depend on the captain."
At the point when he learned that much, it goes without saying that Jin had already become distant-eyed.
"(You casually say 'depend on the captain', but what are you planning, hey! What does Sangou intend to make me do!)"
Jin's inner mutterings might have been reasonable.
At the very least, as far as his personal feelings went, it was undeniably inevitable that he would feel that way.
However, even if he vaguely sensed that, Sangou's words continued to gloss over it.
Why? Because Sangou had declared from the beginning 'by any means necessary'.
"For the nearest invasion army, the captain will use transfer to approach and crush them. Of course, this is before the Imperial Military folks arrive on site. If there is a biological spaceship there, crush it as the highest priority. Separately, carry out the attack with the goal of 'annihilating over half of the total enemy number'. During that time, Sangou and Kichou will navigate toward the second nearest invasion army, and upon contact, shift to delaying tactics with full-power attacks. In that state, wait for the captain to join. After achieving the first battle's goal, the captain uses transfer to head to the second nearest invasion army, the battlefield where Sangou and Kichou are."
"Hey. I'm sorry to interrupt your explanation, but."
Jin, knowing that Sangou's talk was not finished, cut in at a point that seemed convenient.
"Yes. What is it?"
"That basically means 'use transfer to solo charge, crush the head, and clean up as many small fry as possible while you're at it', right? And then 'push the remaining small fry onto the Imperial Military and move on' repeated?"
"Yes. That is correct. There is no other way to overturn such a difference in power."
Whether Sangou's overall combat evaluation including the Hero Jin's mobility ability was appropriate or not aside, the combat evaluation of the enemy was correct.
In this case, it was ultimately a problem of 'quantity and quality' and 'time and distance'.
If the enemy force consisted only of mineral lifeforms, under the condition that 'it is okay for the Gialpha Galaxy Empire's territory to suffer fairly serious damage', even a single Sangou ship, which could continue to receive energy supply from the captain, could have a winning path.
Of course, even then, it was not 'certain victory', but merely at the level of 'there is a possibility of winning'.
However, if multiple biological spaceships were added, it would be hopeless.
If it were 'only' about ultimately annihilating the enemy, it would probably be possible given enough time.
But it was not hard to imagine that by the time Sangou alone accomplished that, the Gialpha Galaxy Empire would have ceased to exist.
Well, still, though.
No matter how correct Sangou's calculations were, 'how Jin thinks about it' was a completely different story.
"(Um. Won't I die?)"
That was Jin's first candid thought.
Well, it didn't end there, as was typical of 'Hero Jin'.
"(But wait? The opponent seems similar to the ones we fought in the Betasia Star System. Their individual combat abilities are limited. That would mean, if told 'do it', I might feel like I could do it. But I don't want to! I really don't want to, though!)"
Jin, with such thoughts, remained silent.
Therefore, Sangou continued to explain the plan further.
"If the captain crushes about five million enemies initially, the Imperial Military can engage the enemy with over three times the forces. That would increase the possibility of annihilating the enemy with fewer casualties. Even if we resupply and reorganize after each battle, move, and repeat the same, if the captain increases the annihilation count from the second and onward, always creating a numerical advantage for the Imperial Military, it should work."
While listening to Sangou's explanation, Jin had already moved to the stage of concretely thinking about 'methods of enemy annihilation'.
"(Create a light sphere with maximum magical power and ten seconds duration right in the middle of the enemy. Temporarily rob them of optical vision, scatter as many magic traps as possible in that time, then flee. Or should I chuck a wide-area attack magic from ultra-long range? As long as I don't take a hit right after ultra-long-distance transfer, it should be fine. Even if I do, with the sub-unit equipment and a magical shield, there's probably no danger. Huh? If I think about it carefully, isn't this doable? If total annihilation were required, it would be different, but if I just need to greatly reduce the numbers, isn't it easy?)"
Having come up with an appropriate attack method against the enemy, Jin gained a little leeway in his heart.
The Hero, who had come to this world from a fantasy world, asked Sangou.
"If we adopt that method, what kind of casualties can be expected?"
"It depends on the captain's annihilation speed, but judging from the annihilation speed in the Betasia Star System, it would be something like 'adding destruction of around fifteen to twenty star systems to the existing damage in this data'. However, I think that 'if evacuation is smooth, human casualties will be limited to the Imperial Military only'. The total damage to the Imperial Military is predicted to be 'about forty percent'. However, there is one big problem. The captain's personal combat ability will be exposed."
"My combat power is 530,000. If I get serious, it's definitely over a million!"
"Captain? What is that?"
Jin, who just wanted to say that gag, smiled after declaring it.
"Ah, sorry. That was just a standard line I felt like saying, no particular meaning."
"Is that so. And is it okay if it gets exposed?"
"There's no way around that, is there? There's no convenient method to cover it up, right?"
"Yes. Sorry. Sangou cannot think of one."
"Then, it can't be helped. (It'll just be as it will. But I'd really like to avoid 'being feared and exiled afterwards'.)"
While returning a resigned word to Sangou, Jin, having experienced a painful precedent, earnestly wished that without saying it aloud.
During this time, Sangou reached a space where real-time communication with the Imperial Capital was possible.
A communication came in from the Imperial Military immediately, requesting participation in combat and joining forces.
It was at a level of pleading that made Jin only able to be astonished.
But however, though.
Since the chain of command was different, no matter how much they pleaded, Jin could only reply, 'Please request it from His Majesty the Emperor'.
For a case of this level, one must not take on work arbitrarily.
Well, following that, a communication came from the Emperor himself, though.
"I was waiting for your return. The situation is as per the data I sent. Even with all the mobilizable strength of the Imperial Military, it is impossible to handle. I'm sorry to keep relying on you, but I still find myself hoping 'if it's Jin and Sangou'. So, can you do something?"
This was the moment when the Emperor, who did not hide his utterly exhausted expression, made a direct unreasonable demand, not the first time.
Thus, Hero Jin and Sangou neatly resolved the crisis looming over the Betasia Star System.
However, that was also a form of successfully falling for the mineral lifeform side's diversionary tactic.
But, regarding this matter, since Jin and the others could not accept the Betasia Star System becoming a victim, it was likely 'a case that happened as it should'.
Why could Kichou's dragon race intuition not detect the supposedly dangerous crisis of the Emperor matter?
And how would Jin respond to the Emperor's unreasonable demand?
No one knows the future.
The Hero, who couldn't help but mutter, 'When dealing with rock-like space beasts, if even 'just space beasts' are commanded by a biological spaceship and become a force with tactics and strategy, they become such troublesome opponents, huh.'
Even if the Emperor side was aware it was an unreasonable demand, for the receiving side, they already had an image of how to defeat the enemy, so Jin had a very different concern.
