Destroyer Fire

"The Holy Mirishial Empire and the enemy ship have begun firing at each other.While they're preoccupied, we'll slip past them and flee from this battle!" Captain Alexis of the Russian destroyer Fire announced to his crew.They had to swallow down the fear of death that getting so close to a Yamato-class battleship raised in them,even though on earth it never faced combat,the idea of a ship that powerful sent shiver into the backs of all sailors.

"Maximum speed, aim for their port side! We'll blow right past them!"

The Fire set its course and accelerated.

Gra Valkas Empire, super dreadnought Grade Atlastar

The massive battleship pushed aside the seawater,cleaving through the ocean as it sailed.Its 42 cm triple turret guns,of which it had 4 installed on the ship for a total of 12 guns,fired without pause.Their firepower was unprecedented in this world.The colossal ship's superstructure,in the middle section of the deck,looked like a castle.The high-angle gun turrets all pointing up to the sky evoked the image of a hedgehog.Whether in their old world or in this world,this was the strongest ship.

Captain Rockstar glared intensely out to sea from the bridge. "Hoh,we can sink them in one shot, I see," he commented to his XO.

"Yes sir. Indeed, our main guns... the 42 cm guns are quite powerful.Even at this distance, around 12 km out, it's quite easy to land a hit."said Rockstar

It was said that firepower was 3 times a gun's caliber.While they chatted,smoke poured out of another enemy ship from a successful hit,and a fierce blaze surged up before the ship broke in half, the pieces pulled down beneath the waves.

"Earlier, when we were hit by an enemy shell,I admit that I felt a cold sweat come on.However, it ended up being no more than a glancing blow that left a bit of a dent."

"This truly is an unsinkable ship."

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the radar-aimed 42 cm triple turret gun fired a huge shell. In consideration of its maximum range of 40 km, the scattered enemies about 10 km away felt positively close.

"Enemy Mirishial cruiser has been hit!"

Clouds of black smoke were billowing out of said ship, and its speed fell dramatically.

"That one's done for... Hm?"

A ways away from where the Mirishial ships were,he noticed a Grey ship that didn't look like it had a single starch. That was Russia's ship, the one that the woman from foreign affairs, the division chief Cielia, requested that they sink "for diplomatic purposes." Based on the ship's heading, they were trying to escape from the battle.

"Now then, as instructed by the foreign affairs eastern otherworld division chief, mark that Gey destroyer as a priority target."

From behind the outdated ships, the Grey ship picked up speed and pushed forward.

"As Miss Cielia said before, that's Russia's ship.It's a vessel that belongs to a country that was also transported here.Just as the reports say, their cannons really are quite tiny,Unlike their battleships this should be easy" the executive officer muttered to himself while staring at the target through his binoculars. "They do appear to be equipped for anti-air combat,but their guns are so small... They must have come here from a pretty peaceful world."

"All right! Have the rear main and secondary guns and fire at them as soon as they're within 7 km! Until then, keep taking out the more dangerous-looking Mirishial boats!" ordered Captain Rockstar.

"Yes, sir!"

Destroyer Fire

"It'd be too much to ask for them to not notice us at all, but please, just let us pass...!"
