Colonia Storm Tour

Without this thing, it seems like DEM's warships could easily abduct the protagonist and elves like alien flying saucers, but their intentions are far more malicious than kidnapping farmers and cows to increase sociology points.

Then I don't know how many points are added to Elf Studies, and it seems like no one in Stellaris makes this kind of mod.

Main Armed Forces

1. Converging Magic Cannon (Mistilteinn): The main weapon of Fraxinus EX, located at the front of Fraxinus. It generates magic power from the basic manifestation device mounted on Fraxinus, concentrating the generated energy at the muzzle to form a powerful beam of light.

2. Spirit Cannon "Gungnir": A powerful weapon formed by connecting the cannon barrel form (Cannon "Megiddo") of Kotori Itsuka's angel (Camael) after her Spirit Armor transformation with the main cannon of the Fraxinus EX. Due to its excessive power, it causes severe damage to Kotori's body and the ship itself, and is rarely used.

For the Foehn Winds, who lack elves, this redundant weapon system is utterly useless.

3. Widely used independent unit "Leaf of the World Tree" (Yggd,folium): This unit is used for communication.

Later, during the Yamai era, in the battle against DEM's airship "Arbatel", it was used by Kōhei Kannazuki as a lightning machine to destroy the enemy airship's control room. It could also be used as a floating cannon and a Mag Thunder.

4. The Assisted Magic Cannon "Blutgang" consists of four cannons located below the hull of the warship. The cannons can only be used after the baffle is removed to extend the cannon barrel.

5. The interceptor missile "Brionac" is a missile with a speed of Mach, similar to that of a comet.

6. Spirit Power Conversion Device 《System·Brod》: A device that converts the spirit's spiritual power and supplies it. Its effect on the Burning Wind is limited.

Other equipment

1. Display Equipment: The Fraxinus EX is equipped with ten large-scale Basic Realizer (AR-009) display devices. In addition to the permanent territory that extends around the ship, it also frequently activates an invisible camouflage to prevent the ship from being detected from the outside, and an automatic avoidance (A/void) system that will evade aircraft or other objects encountered by the external territories.

After the upgrade in Volume 14, it becomes a free-roaming realm capable of simultaneously manipulating multiple layers with different functions, which is known as "FraxinusEX".

2. Computer Management System AI: That is, Artificial Intelligence. Shido's romantic choices when he was dating the spirit were arranged and set by her. Later, in the PS3 game and novel, she became a real AI girl.

The significance of Foehn: It served as an early warning, teaching, and research base in the perpetually frozen Antarctic. Later, with the advent of Kodiak battleships and battlecruisers, it could be symbolically retained and then no longer manufactured, just like the Apocalypse Tank.

Chapter 11 Stormbringer (RYUSA MIX) - 4

As the morning of the following day arrived, Ratatosk in the Virgin Islands completed the manufacture of Fraxinus, just as they had said the day before.

In order to get out of this dead end as soon as possible, Benjamin Fletcher was prepared to work through the night to finish the project, so the progress that was originally supposed to be delayed until the next day was completed in the dead of night.

So this morning, Alice and the two senior leaders of Yost Vandak Island, Colonel Jack and Supervisor Benjamin, saw it in the Fraxinus of Ratatosk.

"Congratulations on completing Fraxinus at the fastest speed. Now that you two are both in the captain's seat and combat positions, it proves that Fraxinus is ready to set sail, right?"

Alice asked Colonel Jack in the holographic projection.

"Yes, our staff have now completed the cleanup around the ship and are all on board. We can begin sailing immediately. Please prepare to take over the research and construction facilities."

"That's what Supervisor Benjamin Fletcher replied."

At this point, on the vast island of Jostvandak, the Ratatosk staff, magicians, and private soldiers had all vanished, leaving only a research facility and the hatches of the construction facilities on the mountain, along with magic turrets.

If what Supervisor Benjamin said is true, the living quarters outside the combat posts on Ratatosk's Fraxinus now include technicians, engineers, soldiers, and finally, magicians.

The only remaining garrison force on Jostvandak Island is Foenorph.

Alice adjusted the communication channel: "Valkyrie Camp, remain on high alert and keep a close eye on the situation in the direction of Ellington Piris Island."

"learn."

Lin Haiyuan replied.

"Yes."

Hua Zhizi and the other team members were all staring intently.

In the command center of the underground base in Antarctica, Odin received a report from the acoustic ranging radar system on Jost Vandak Island in the Virgin Islands.

“Master, our sonic ranging radar has detected the DEM Corporation’s C-130 Hercules transport plane and confirmed that Ellen Mira Messer and a unit of magicians are on board.”

She reported while placing her left hand on the earpiece in her ear.

"Are the range and altitude of our plasma fortress cannons sufficient?"

Alice asked—she hadn't deployed Roaring Anti-Air Missile Vehicles to the island to enhance long-range air defense, because the existing air defenses were already sufficient to handle the situation in the Virgin Islands.

"The plasma fortress cannon's range and altitude are insufficient to shoot down the high-flying C-130 Hercules transport plane, which is expected to arrive at Ellington Piris Island in 2 hours."

Oudin gave a negative answer.

"Well, if I had known, I wouldn't have been so meticulous as to deploy a set of Roaring anti-aircraft missiles on the island. Otherwise, I could have blown up that Hercules transport plane and caused a Black Hawk Down."

Alice felt it was a pity that she had rejected the idea of ​​deploying a roaring system.

"Chief Alice, I don't think shooting down the transport plane is a good option, because Ellen Mira Messer has an emergency donning device. She can instantly equip or call up the weapons of her CR-UNIT (Pendragon) to achieve her goal. Moreover, considering the air defense threat, the DEM Magician will definitely have Ca/valry pre-equipped on the transport plane."

Lin Haiyuan reminded Alice of the memories that Artemisia had from her time in DEM, which were neither too short nor too long.

"If the Magician is equipped with the CR-UNIT, then even if we destroy the transport plane, it will be meaningless. It will only let DEM's Bean Sprouts and their henchmen come to fight us in ten minutes."

Even with gardenias, I don't think destroying the transport plane is a good option.

"Emmm... So that bean sprout will wait until he meets up with the DEM magician on Ellington Piris Island before launching an attack? That doesn't feel right. Logically speaking, that bean sprout could fight for a while first and then wait for his subordinates to arrive and engage in battle."

Alice refers to the DEM executive director as "bean sprout" here.

"She would avoid situations where she was one against three or more as much as possible, because it was just a pointless drain on one's energy."

Lin Haiyuan didn't think that the bean sprouts who hadn't been severely affected by the brain drain would choose to fight them even when they were at a disadvantage.

At the very least, someone and Bondsky need to distract those swarming yet incredibly agile and cunning Shrike anti-aircraft drones. Otherwise, just having a bunch of drones circling around and firing a few shots would be enough to drive the easily provoked Ellen Mira Messeres into a rage. She probably wouldn't hold her nose and let those annoying twin-engine drones go.

"Ok."

Alice abandoned the idea of ​​destroying the transport plane after hearing that shooting it down might cause DEM's Sprouts and Magicians to join the battle earlier.

Meanwhile, the workers at the Ratatosk construction site completed the final checks on the warships within the facility.

"Supervisor! All AR-009 large-scale basic display devices have been confirmed to be functioning normally, magic generation is normal, and the arbitrary domain expansion is working flawlessly!"

"This is what the technician from Ratatosk reported."

"Alright, now open the hatch remotely immediately. Fraxinus is ready to set sail."

Supervisor Benjamin Fletcher shouted with great enthusiasm.

"Yes! The hatch is opening!"

The technicians at Ratatosk pressed buttons in front of them, and then the distinctive, teeth-grinding sound of a metal mechanical transmission mechanism emanated from inside the island's mountainside, where some birds had previously roosted. Meanwhile, a continuous alarm echoed within the island, and the startled birds were immediately frightened by the warnings and the mechanical sounds, and fled towards the open sea.

"Takeoff now!"

Benjamin issued orders to the crew below.

Next to the plasma fortress cannon located on the mountain, a square hatch, 300 meters long and 300 meters wide, slowly rose into the sky with the help of an electric mechanism. The truth of Fraxinus, emerging from the water, gradually appeared in the hatch to all the people and things on Mount Jost Vandak who were able to see clearly.

"This reminds me of the Kirov airship taking off from the stadium."

Alice wasn't at all shocked to see the flat, rhomboid-shaped "Fraxinus" slowly emerge from the construction facility.

The stadium mentioned here refers to the Kirov airship carrying a vacuum implosion bomb that takes off from the Havana stadium in the eighth mission of the Allied campaign in Red Alert 3, "The Big Bear Trap".

“Master, I have never seen the Soviets take off or land Kirov airships from a stadium. Why would you say it looks like a Kirov airship taking off from a stadium?”

Odin doesn't know the story of Red Alert 3.

"Oh, Odin, you don't know this. It's a story that happened in another time and space. I'll tell you about this story with Lin the Madman, you, and WalkerNet AI when I have time. Now, get ready to accept the facility."

Alice now wants to focus more on the airships in front of her.

The magician who remained on Ellington Piris Island as an observer easily spotted the Fraxinus taking off from the mountains of Jost Vandak Island, thanks to his equipment and enhanced eyesight.

For the Foehn Winds, who already knew of the existence of Fraxinus, the sight of Fraxinus slowly rising was not surprising. They had previously seen the Colonia Flanking Air Base, whose length and width were measured in kilometers. In comparison, Fraxinus seemed as small and fragile as a small piece of snack in front of the giant dragon that was the Colonia Flanking Air Base.

But DEM was different. When they saw Fraxinus rise from the island, the magicians and observers were no less astonished than when they saw the Ilicara Sky Fortress rise from the sky, as were the Londoners and Allied troops.

"An airborne warship?!"

The observer and the magician in the hidden observation post simultaneously exclaimed the category name for the taking-off "Fraxinus".

"We must report to Mr. Hardman immediately!"

The observer in another concealed observation post immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and reported: "This is Grass Eye-03, this is Grass Eye-03, calling Tree Crown Tree Crown, an unidentified type of airship has risen from Yostfandark Island! An unidentified type of airship has risen from Yostfandark Island! Preliminary assessment indicates it belongs to the Ratatosk Agency! Preliminary assessment indicates it belongs to the Ratatosk Agency!"

In DEM's memory, Foehn should focus on small and medium-sized aircraft such as the Condor, Pteranodon, and Quetzalcoatl, or large aircraft whose model names are unknown, rather than air battleships.

After receiving the same report from all the observers and magicians at the observation posts, the headquarters of the organization codenamed "Tree Canopy" immediately organized the battlefield intelligence and forwarded it to Hardman, the local DEM supervisor.

"What?! Ratatosk's airships?!"

Hardman was so surprised that he slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Yes, now we finally understand what Ratatosk on Yostvandak Island is planning to do; it should be in cooperation with Foehn to complete the air battleship project."

DEM staff provided information that was far from the truth.

"The reason why Foehn and Ratatosk have held onto this island and haven't given up immediately is because of their cooperative plan..."

Hardman sat back in his office chair, thought for a moment, then looked up at the staff member: "Is Minister Messer almost here?"
