Chapter 78: 15 years old Inglis and Chiral's Royal Knight Academy (28)
「What do we do, Inglis!? Are you gonna hit it with the same light ball thingy again!?」 「Hmm, that would be hard——」
Inglis shook her head at Lahti’s question. It became clear after she fired Ether Strike; While she could evaporate a single Flygear Carrier, the technique was too lacking in power to completely engulf the huge ship.
Even if she hypothetically launched Ether Strike at it, it would only pass through the hull, leaving huge chunks of wreckage free falling. The situation would only worsen then. Not to mention that she had fired Ether Strike two times today, Inglis was highly doubtful if she could squeeze out a third.
And in case that she fired a third round of Ether Strike, it would unquestionably be less powerful than the last one she launched.
「W-, what do we do then!?」 「Let’s get closer to the ground. We’ll think about it after we estimate where it will crash into.」
If the ship were to crash into an empty lot or open space, it would pose no problem. If it were to crash into a shopping or a residential area, then they would need to either stop it or divert it from its trajectory.
「So, if it’s a safe place to crash, we’ll let it be?」 「Yeah, Rani. It’s also possible that it’ll fall outside the city and into the lake.」 「But what do we do if it is right in the middle of the capital?」 「Either we stop it or we change the falling trajectory. At any rate, we need to get down, there’s no good footing up here.」 「I see. I understand now.」 「And if we’re fast enough to call for an evacuation, it might be still affordable!」
Even Pullum, who was usually quiet, had a stern expression.
「’Kay then, maximum speed to the ground!」
