Chapter 64 \n<h1>The Clash Between Legends 1</h1>\n 
Flagship Lotto, 1st Magic Fleet, Combined Fleet, Holy Mirishial Empire
“This is the damage situation of the 2nd and 3rd Fleets.”
Commander Lettal Kauran of the 1st Magic Fleet summarized the damage situation of the 2nd and 3rd Fleets which are deployed separately from them. All ships received substantial damage from the Gra Valkas Empire air attacks, similar to what had happened with the 1st Fleet.
“As for the damage situation of the World Union
”
The Holy Mirishial Empire fleet that accompanied the World Union also received catastrophic damage. It also seems that an exceedingly horrific number of ships in the World Union have received damage. Their enemy was someone that can inflict so much casualties on the Holy Mirishial Empire, and this battle has turned theory into reality when it comes to what their enemy can do to nations with a level of civilization far lower than that of the empire. 
Among the reports were ships that were sunk merely from the strafing of enemy aircraft. For the civilized countries
 countries which are known to be superpowers
 For them to have sustained this much damage
 There was no doubt that the enemy was indeed powerful.
“Operations officer
 what do you think?”
“Yes
 The damage that the World Union has sustained is far too great and a morale-crushing number of ships have been sunk. On the other hand, the empire’s fleet can still fight. As for the outcome of victory, it’s possible that
”
“Whether we win or not rests entirely on the capabilities of the aerial battleship Pal Chimera? Is that what you’re trying to say?”
“It’s hard for me to say as such, but indeed. The 42 enemy ships that attacked the World Union were all sunk by a single Pal Chimera. It’s a terrifying weapon. I will be frank though, I do not know of the Pal Chimera’s magic output, how much ammunition it has left, and what else it can do.”
“An ancient superweapon, huh
 If the sorcerous empire were to be restored, our empire must take to the front lines
 However with their abilities
 I could only pray that they never come back.”
“I completely agree.”
While they were conversing, the sound of an incoming magic transmission rings out.
“Incoming video message from the aerial battleship! It’s on the emergency line!!!”
The communications officer loudly reports. The Pal Chimera always contacts them via their emergency line

Commander Lettal Kauran felt that he was going to receive orders from some government official again. He wanted to say something along the lines of “We’re not in the same organization!” or “I am not obligated to report to you!”
“Patch them through!!”
A face they’ve seen a while ago is displayed on the screen within the bridge. Well, it’s not a face but some peculiar mask

“My military friends
”
Meteos, captain of the aerial battleship Pal Chimera Number 2, begins to speak.
“Did you know that Captain Walman’s Machine 1 has cleaned up the enemy fleet attacking the world fleet
?”
Whispers fill the bridge.
“From this moment onwards, us here in the Pal Chimera Machine 2 will assault the enemy main fleet, where I intend to teach them what happens if they oppose the Holy Mirishial Empire.
I am truly sorry that the honor of annihilating the enemy will be ours to solely reap
 I was thinking of telling you guys to come join as well!”\nAfter a short pause, he continues.
“Thinking about it, if you fight the enemy with the strength at your disposal, surely there will be casualties, no? And yet you can win if you do nothing. It pains my heart when those who are hungry for glory must send soldiers down to their graves!”
“What is it that you want to tell us?”
“Nothing, really. I’m just here to provide you with information. What you guys will do is up to you. 
It seems that the enemy’s position is slightly off
 I will send you their coordinates. Well then, excuse me.”
The magic transmission ends. The bridge momentarily becomes silent

“That ass
 He dares look down on the military?! Order all forces, assault the enemy main fleet! Destroy them!!!”
“Yes, sir!!!”
Orders were promptly given and the fleet began to pick up speed.
“We’re falling behind them but
 with a decisive fleet battle, I won’t let them get the better of us!!!”
Commander Lettal Kauran of the Holy Mirishial Empire’s Magic Combined Fleet stares at the direction of the yet unseen enemy.
・・・
The navy of the Holy Mirishial Empire heads south in formation. It was majestic and powerful.
“Commander, the Pal Chimera will make contact with the enemy soon!”
“Hmph
 They’re fast! Those monsters!!!”
Surprised at the speed of the aerial battleship’s advance, he subconsciously lets out his feelings on the matter.
All of a sudden, a column of water rises from the small ship travelling at the front of the formation. After a short delay, a thunderous boom resounds over the sea.
“Wha
 what?! What happened?!”
Lettal Kauran finds it hard to understand what has happened.
“Is
 is there an accident??”
After the water had risen into a column, the small ship rapidly lost its speed.
“What the hell
”
“Report coming in!! White lines travelling underwater are heading for our direction!!!”
“What?! Wait, no way
!!”
The previous battle comes to Lettal Kauran’s mind. A bomb dropped from an aircraft which then travels underwater
 It’s threat was so menacing that not even their biggest magic battleship was safe when it hit.\n“But there are no enemy aircraft!!!”
There wasn’t any response on the magical detection radar and there were no other aircraft besides their own that were flying in the clear skies. An underwater line was coming straight for the flagship Lotto
 They turned with all the power the ship could give and they managed to avoid getting hit.
However

Fwoop
 booooooooooom

“Battleship Vallil hit!”
“Medium ship Telmist hit!”
“Small ship Zyle has lost its ability to move! Captain Luigi has ordered all crew to abandon ship!!”
Tragedy struck one after another. There was no longer any doubt that this was an enemy attack.
“But
 could they actually be
”
One possibility comes to Lettal Kauran’s mind.
“
underwater?!”
The menacing threat heading towards them broke their fleet apart bit by bit. The Holy Mirishial Empire fleet that moved in perfect formation was now a shadow of its former majestic self, with every ship taking their own evasive maneuvers against the incoming torpedoes.
“Fuck!! So they’re underwater?! What are we supposed to do?!”
The Holy Mirishial Empire, which never imagined an attack to be coming from underwater, was at the mercy of the Gra Valkas Empire’s attack.
・・・
A number of majestic ships pierced through the sea as they advanced. They looked so formidable that if this power was pointed at a civilized country or even a superpower, they’d tremble in intimidation.
This was the main force of the Gra Valkas Empire’s Eastern Fleet.
Flagship Grade Atlastar
“The 3rd Submarine Fleet has begun engaging the Holy Mirishial Empire’s main fleet.”
A report is passed along within the bridge.
“I see
”
According to a report from the Ministry of Intelligence, it is still yet to be verified whether there are any countries in the new world that operate submarines. What would happen if submarines are then used in such a world
 
There was no doubt that the results would be massive, so commander in chief of the Eastern Fleet, Caesar, replied without interest.
“Captain Luxtal
 those bastards have come, haven’t they
”
“Destroying over 2 fleets
 If they still haven’t run out of ammunition, they will come.”\nNegotiations broke down and the transmission was cut. 2 Pal Chimera aerial battleships have commenced their encroachment to attack the Gra Valkas Empire fleet.
