I, a ship girl, am the savior of civilization.

Stay away from my daughter, she's about to throw a tantrum. I, Olivega Shepherd-Loresia, will beat you all up right now!

56. Dawn arrives

"You're in charge of dealing with Shockwave, Skybreaker."

After turning the Drill Beast into scrap metal, Laura crippled Shockwave and then crossed the Space Bridge to throw it to Sentinel Prime.

Anyway, it's easy for Cybertronians to deal with severed limbs, and Laura doesn't have the time to worry about Shockwave's situation.

It's a miracle they're not dead.

Only then did Laura have the mind to focus on the love-hate relationship between Megatron and Optimus Prime.

Even before this, Megatron had been severely injured and was on a completely different level from Optimus Prime at his peak. This was why Laura felt comfortable letting Optimus Prime go and settle the score with Megatron alone.

Under the surveillance of the shipborne quantum satellite, the battlefield on Optimus Prime's side also came into view.

Besides the rusty Megatron, another familiar figure also stands against Optimus Prime—Soundwave.

It was thanks to the help of sound waves that Megatron was able to barely cope with Optimus Prime's attack.

However, Soundwave was not a warrior specializing in combat, and even with the assistance of Laserbeak, the situation was developing in a direction unfavorable to the two of them.

If no one else intervenes, Optimus Prime should end the battle very quickly.

Of course, this was impossible. Chicago had already been turned into a temporary Decepticon stronghold, and even if other Autobots were trying to buy Optimus Prime time, Decepticon fighter jets and aircraft would arrive from time to time.

"Your Highness Laura, the teleportation link between the space bridge and the moon is now stable. As per your command, the teleportation energy bar in space will not immediately initiate the transfer to Cybertron after activation. Should we activate it now?"

"Yes, but it's unnecessary."

Laura shook her head, then looked at the several energy bars flashing blue light around her: "Before that, to avoid any accidents, let's deal with the Decepticons completely first."

After Sentinel Prime was turned, the purpose of setting up the Space Bridge was simply to avoid arousing Megatron's suspicion. Now that the Decepticons' forces are mainly concentrated in Chicago, the significance of these hundreds of energy bars is minimal.

However, with the idea of ​​making the most of everything, Laura did not intend to destroy these energy pillars directly, but instead planned to use the space bridge to travel to Cybertron.

Although the Dawn is equipped with a more advanced space bridge, the energy consumed in a single jump to Cybertron would probably drain Laura dry on the spot.

A hint of excitement flickered in her eyes as she looked at the fleet of Decepticon warships hovering over Chicago, and Laura couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The thrill of fighting in the form of a ship spirit is incomparable to that of fighting in the mothership itself.

Although the final result will most likely be a crushing defeat, the feelings that the two outcomes evoked in Laura cannot be generalized.

The whistling sound of cannonballs piercing the air when the mothership fires, the bursts of flame and spaceship debris when the target is hit, the fearless charge into the depths of enemy lines amidst the gunfire...

Just thinking about it made Laura feel that pleasurable sense of suffocation.

Suddenly, Laura caught sight of a familiar figure.

"That's... a red spider?"

Looking closer, Laura recognized the Decepticon fighter jet soaring through the sky. Optimus Prime's breakout gave the U.S. military an opportunity to prepare to airdrop a wave of glider troops using transport planes.

Meanwhile, the previously unseen Starscream and his air squadron were now harvesting these defenseless transport planes.

"I was wondering where Red Spider went, but I didn't expect him to be here stomping on newbies."

Knowing Starscream's cowardly nature, Laura wasn't surprised by his actions. As expected, by the time Optimus Prime appeared before Megatron, Starscream had probably already made an excuse to slip away.

However, this time, Red Spider is likely to meet a tough opponent.

"Since we're going to make a move, it really wouldn't make sense not to have a mini-boss."

Turning her attention to Starscream, Lola stuck out her little tongue and licked it slightly: "Then Starscream, it's time for a new opponent."

At the Noah's Dimension dock, sensing Laura's call, the long-dormant engines of the Dawnship spewed out long trails of ion flames, and the two-kilometer-long hull of the Glimmer-class ship rose into the air before disappearing.

The next moment, a massive mothership appeared in the sky above Chicago, blocking out a large portion of the sky.

"This is……"

Sentinel Prime stared in shock at the Dawn above him. As if he had thought of something, Sentinel Prime quickly looked towards the spot where Laura had been standing.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Sentinel Prime only caught a fleeting glimpse of Laura, equipped with ship gear, in the sky before disappearing without a trace.

"Could this be another projection of His Highness?"

Sentinel Prime had pondered what higher-dimensional life forms would look like in a three-dimensional world. For instance, Laura's seemingly frail appearance was, in Sentinel Prime's mind, merely a disguise to blend into Earth's society.

In Sentinel Prime's imagination, Laura's projection was a fleshy planet filled with wailing cries, or a fleshy mass covered in eyes, or even an indescribable thing waving tentacles.

But what unfolded before our eyes was a technological behemoth.

"As expected of His Highness, even the projection is shaped like a warship. Perhaps this symbolizes the order of civilization and is proof of His Highness's adherence to order!"

Optimus Prime also temporarily stopped smashing Optimus Prime and tearing Soundwave apart, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes before he understood.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Princess Laura's doing.

At the same time, the moment the Dawn appeared, both the Decepticons and the Pentagon fell into a brief silence.

"Bumblebee, is this... also a Decepticon warship?"

With his girlfriend whom he had just rescued, Sam quietly asked Bumblebee a question, afraid of alerting the warship whose stance was unclear.

Bumblebee shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Pentagon, Pentagon, do you see that giant ship over Chicago? Can you confirm if it belongs to the Autobots, the Decepticons, or is there some third party involved?"

Hidden in the ruins, Reynolds, who had survived the attack by the Starscream, took off his glider and reconnected to communications with the Pentagon.

When the giant ship appeared, the Decepticon air force was also stunned for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Reynolds and his soldiers immediately landed, avoiding being wiped out.

However, Reynolds wasn't too happy after his arduous journey to Chicago. The mothership hovering above him made Reynolds' heart tremble.

Judging from the Decepticons' reaction, Dawn might not be on their side, but after so much contact with Optimus Prime, Reynolds is certain that the Autobots don't possess a strategic weapon capable of changing the situation.

But after shouting at the Pentagon, the response almost made Reynolds throw the microphone away.

“We don’t know, Captain Reynolds. Perhaps your mission will need to be expanded.”

"We must find out about this giant ship no matter what!"

I got Stellaris, immediately downloaded Kantai Collection mod, and then, without realizing it, I didn't write anything for a whole day...

57. Laura is so excited! (Then she enters a state of sage-like tranquility)

Laura, now the center of attention, naturally didn't care what others thought. With the help of the Supreme Link, she instantly returned to the Dawn.

Standing in the captain's cabin, Laura took full control of the Dawn, and under the ship girl's perception coverage, this steel behemoth began to fully recover.

Three tungsten steel shells, each 43 centimeters in diameter, were inserted into the electromagnetic acceleration channel located at the bow of the ship. Within three-hundredths of a second, they broke the sound barrier and hurtled towards the Red Spider, who was trying to escape when things went wrong.

It must be admitted that Starscream's eyesight and survival instincts are still very strong. When Dawn appeared, Starscream already sensed something was wrong, and while the other Decepticons were stunned, Starscream had already transformed and flown into the distance.

However, no matter how fast Starscream, who was already on Laura's kill list, ran, he couldn't outrun the bombardment of the electromagnetic railgun.

Even with her desperate attempts to dodge, two shells still struck Starscream's body, one of which pierced through the spark inside her chest cavity.

Before it could even scream, the red spider, torn into a pile of scrap metal, fell helplessly into the sky.

The Dawn fired three shots in quick succession, directly setting the stage for the Battle of Chicago.

"It's the enemy! Attack!"

Seeing Starscream blasted into the air, the other Decepticons immediately realized that the mothership was enemy territory. Almost without a command, countless cannons rained down on the massive target in the sky.

The honeycomb-shaped luminous shield instantly transformed into a true honeycomb, with continuous ripples spreading out, yet it held firm. It showed no signs of being pierced, nor even a hint of shattering.

The Decepticons' attack quickly caught Laura's attention. As the engines propelled the Dawn forward, its fire control system was also pushed to its limits.

Electromagnetic railguns and ion weapons, originally intended as primary means of output, have become the least efficient methods of killing at this moment.

Against the Cybertronians, all of Laura's weapons could inflict penetrating damage. In contrast, high-rate-of-fire, low-power laser weapons were more effective.

As a devout follower of the multi-barreled cult, Laura filled every available firing position on the Dawn with cannons of varying power.

At this moment, Dawn has entered its unstoppable mowing mode, and the location of every Decepticon and Autobot is clearly visible on the energy reaction map.

Laura even sent out her air squadron, which had been gathering dust since its inception but had now been upgraded to interstellar fighters, to use its shipborne energy cannons to collect a few kills that were inconvenient to take.

"boom!"

As Laura watched a Decepticon aircraft, driven mad by its own rage, crash into the Dawn's shield and explode into flames, a spark of longing ignited in her large eyes.

Even in a one-sided war, this magnificent epic scene remains awe-inspiring.

Driven by their beliefs, the fearless Decepticon warriors unleashed their final barrage of fire against the invincible enemy before ending their lives on the battlefield.

The Dawn, which ruled the sky, seemed like a god, disdainful of the dying struggles of mortals. With a mere flick of its finger, it utterly crushed these warriors who dared to charge at it.

Damn, I've got the wrong channel. The more I think about it, the more I feel like a villain.

The Decepticons are clearly the epitome of invasion and war.

As the sky was completely cleared, the artillery fire that had been resisting on the ground gradually subsided, and Laura suddenly fell into a state of sagehood for a moment.

It feels so boring.

Sitting in the captain's seat, Laura leaned back lazily until the air squadron had taken the last kill before she finally stood up.

Activating the space bridge, Laura stepped into the spatial vortex, appearing beside Optimus Prime and Sentinel Prime. As for the Dawn, Laura did not bring it into Noah's Dimension, but left it above Chicago.

"Hmm, has the matter been resolved?"

Looking around, all the Autobots except Bumblebee had gathered together. Only Sam and Laura couldn't find the main character.

"Sam has already left. I had Bumblebee escort him out."

Sensing Laura's gaze, Optimus Prime offered an explanation. From the very beginning, Sentinel Prime had discovered that Sam's girlfriend had been kidnapped and taken to Chicago.

Considering that he was now on the same side as Optimus Prime, Sentinel Prime helped Sam in order to mend the rift in their relationship, making the rescue mission go unexpectedly smoothly.

After dealing with Megatron and Soundwave, Optimus Prime gathered all the Autobots together to await Laura's return, and also explained Laura's situation.

After the Dawn's massacre of the Decepticons, none of the Autobots present dared to show their faces and cause trouble.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will soon need to prepare to leave this universe."
