Holy Milishial Empire, Port Town Cartalpas, Southwestern Skies

After Gra Valkas's 200 aircraft easily shot down Mirishial's fighters, they proceeded toward the port town of Cartalpas. The first stage of their offensive involved intercepting and attacking the fleets from this world, then going on to bomb Cartalpas. This would induce fear of the Gra Valkas Empire while simultaneously showing the rest of the world how weak the Holy Mirishial Empire was, tearing down the perception that they were the strongest country in the world. This would encourage other countries to distance themselves from Milishial and come under Gra Valkas's wing instead.

There were no precise military goals for this operation; there were both targets to attack and broad objectives, but how to go about accomplishing all of it was left to the discretion of the leaders on site.

Commander Sbawl of the Gra Valkas Empire's Third Carrier Squadron observed the ships below him. "Hmph... Sailboats, huh. Laughable. Commence attack on—"

BOOM!!

"W-What!?"

BOOM!! BOOM!!

"We-we're not even inside the range to make a dive bomb yet!"

The Sirius-class Dive Bombers are being shot down one after another by Celestina's Flak 88R. When the distance is less than twenty kilometers, only ten aircraft remain.

"Curse you!! I will not forget this humiliation!!"

BOOM!! BOOM!!

The entire Gra Valkas dive bombers are wiped out by the Seraphic Ocean single-handedly, with none of the aircraft are even in range for dive-bombing.

"Did you see that...?"

On the La Kasami's bridge, cheers went up at the sight of the Gra Valkan planes dropping like flies. But, as soon as Celestina wipe out all of the Gra Valkas bombers without even making them dive to attack, the entire crew was silent.

"How... How's that possible?" Mu's fleet commander asked the young officer next to him.

"That was their electronics-assisted firing system... But, to think that they can do it with such precision... Any word from our crew at Celestina?"

"Yes. They've been drilled hard by Celestina's Navy, so when Celestina can give us Mu, we're ready for maximum efficiency."

"Good grief..."

Other country representatives are flabbergasted when Celestina wipes out the entire dive bombers with just a single ship.

When the Flak 88R fires again, this time, it eliminates the entire Antares fighters. The first assault wing, consisting of two hundred aircraft, is wiped out single-handedly by Celestina's warship, Seraphic Ocean.

"We've got incoming Grade Atlastar, and the fleet that supports it are standing by sixty kilometers from the battleship."

"Looks like they want to use the power of the so-called Legendary ship, Ma'am."

"Hm?"

Looking at the behavior of the Grade Atlastar, Faira notices it.

"They're preparing a blockade."

"I've relaying the information to Grand Duchess Alicia for the update, including the second wave of the airstrike."

"Good work."

Gra Valkas Empire, Imperial Judgment Force, Grade Atlastar

The woman who had been sent to the leadership conference to convey the empire's will, the foreign affairs eastern otherworld division chief Cielia, was on the bridge observing the battle's progress with the ship's captain. But, much to Cielia's horror and Captain Luxtal itself, none of the enemy ship were sunk other than the Milishial ship that was already engaging them.
