I Got 999 Level With One Cut

Riko Hasegawa sat on the main turret at the head of the 'Deceit' warship, leisurely swinging her legs. Each of these enormous turrets contained three 16-inch giant cannons, each weighing over a thousand tons. There were a total of three turrets on the deck - two in front of the bridge and one behind. At the same time, other than the three turrets placed on the back, three identical turrets were hanging below the warship in the same position. Together, there were a total of six turrets. 18 main cannons. Riko heard from an officer who seemed to be very familiar with the airship warship about this kind of firepower. He was one of the best in the world.    

Its sister ship, the "Determination" that Riko had seen before, also had the same configuration. These two battleships, in addition to the eight "Lord Calvin" that was equipped with a 15-inch cannon, formed the absolute core of the fleet.    

But Meiko stood below, looking at her like this, she was a little worried.    

... "What is the problem?"    

The silver-haired girl tilted her head slightly.    

"Your mental state."    

"This... There's no need to worry..." Riko thought for a moment. "If it's me, I don't need to do it myself."    

"Huh?"    

"[Well...] In short... we thought of another way."    

"Those two cannonballs have already been loaded onto the ship?"    

Vilhelmina stood by the window and watched the airship fleet that was about to set off.    

The Army Minister Almande Janssen, who was standing beside her, immediately showed a helpless smile.    

"Although I know it has been transported, you shouldn't have asked me about it. You should have asked the commander of the fleet."    

"Forget it. Aren't you the same? Who knows what that guy Helphley is busy with right now?"    

The Queen shook her head. It had been a few hours since the start of this war that concerned the fate of the country. However, she felt an unprecedented calmness. Vilhelmina did not know how much of this calmness came from the astrologer's reassuring prophecy last night.    

Even if Undead Lady had enlightened her, Riko would immediately go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and wipe out tens of thousands of enemies in an instant. It was still a little difficult for her.    

But fortunately, the silver-haired girl did come up with a simpler method.    

She found the people from the Britain Air Force and asked if they could enchant two of the sixteen inch cannonballs that the Determination and the Deceit had sent to the Aldran with the "Determination" and "Deceit."    

After that, Vilhelmina and the people from the Britain Air Force followed. She watched the silver-haired girl chant an unknown incantation while drawing complicated golden patterns on the two cannonballs that were about the same size as her. She did not know what kind of mood she was in as she watched the silver-haired girl chant an unknown incantation while at the same time drawing complicated golden patterns on the two cannonballs that were about the same size as her.    

The entire project took more than two hours.    

When Riko finally put away the quill, she used her sleeve to wipe her face. Furthermore... She told everyone present that these two cannonballs would be fired within the next 24 hours. would become the world's most destructive weapon. The power they could produce with each shot was the same as the world-shocking magic she used in the sky above Kelt Sea.    

Of course, the additional effect wasn't permanent. The magic power could only last for 24 hours, which was after a day. The two brutal destroyers that could shock a country would become ordinary cannonballs. Perhaps they can even blow up a large hole on the enemy's battleship armor belt, but that's all.    

Vilhelmina still remembered that she nervously asked her, if the ammunition warehouse was hit, would it explode in the friendly formation?    

The result would naturally not be the same.    

However, in order to prevent the battleship carrying the artillery shell from being hit and not being able to fire, Riko still made two.    

Now, they were lying quietly in the armory connecting Determination and Deceit, which was painted with a bright red color that represented danger.    

At the same time, the fleet's battle strategy changed along with it.    

- If they could not gain the upper hand in a direct confrontation, they would try their best to gather the enemy fleet into a formation.    

If the distance between the battle airships in Westfalen was close enough, then with one shot, it would be enough to destroy more than half of the enemy's main fleet.    

This way, Riko would not need to face the difficult decision of killing tens of thousands of enemies. She would also be able to focus more on fighting the six Titled Devil Instructor that would appear out of nowhere.    

"It's the fleet of Westfalen! Quick, light up the signal!"    

It was the evening of the same day, and the location was on top of a sentry tower 15 kilometers east of Antwervib City. The history of this small tower built from stone could be traced back to the time before the unification of Aldran, but now, more than 2,000 years later. It was once again put to use in the war.    

When the lead gray cloud like airship group appeared in the sky, a young low level mage immediately rubbed his hands together and produced a flame. He moved closer to the torch made of dry grass and other cheap combustible materials, causing it to burn in the dark night. The other sentry towers on the horizon also lit up when they received the signal. Soon, the direction that led to Antwervib had already lit up with a few dots of red light.    

It was impossible for each sentry tower to send out a crystal ball, so they could only use this kind of primitive method to send messages.    

After discovering that the news of the enemy fleet was quickly sent to the commander of the defending troops in Antwervib, the commander used the crystal ball to contact the headquarters in Brucedahl. This way, the command center would give the order to the fleet that was heading north.    

Just like that, within ten minutes of the Westfalen fleet appearing on the antenna, Riko could already hear the ear-piercing battle alarm from the battleship "Deceit." The alarm was probably produced by a beeping device powered by some kind of magic. As for the broadcast... it was a Great Mage standing on the bridge shouting with his neck pulled.    

"All crew members, enter the station! Repeat! All crew members, enter the post!"    

The silver-haired girl could occasionally see the crew members running past her. Soon, the deck became empty.    

She could clearly feel that 'Deception' was speeding up. There were still thirty kilometers to the location where the local fleet's sentry tower had been discovered. In other words, there was still at least 40 kilometers to go before the appropriate battle. At the same time, the distance between the warships was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

Along with the darkening sky that was covered by dark clouds so that the stars and moon could not be seen, Riko Hasegawa felt a sense of nervousness for no reason, so she held Meiko's hand.
