Two weeks may seem like a long time, but it's been a blink of an eye, and the time is fast approaching the day when the race is about to start. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a simple resupply in the harbor, the Tenryu, where Otowa was, was launched, and sailed towards the sea where the race was playing.

Just like the last tournament, this tournament was also held at the War Games League branch of Sea City G1, and the venue of the tournament was naturally around Sea City.

After leaving the port, Arisa got the engine running at full speed on the spot, and the ship quickly accelerated to more than 30 knots.

Since the speed was more than half that of Zhan Shou, the time for Otowa and his party to arrive at the competition venue was much shorter than last time.

"There aren't a lot of boats around. ”

Underneath the bridge, Otowa slowly surveyed his surroundings with a telescope.

Unlike the previous game, there were almost no torpedo boats in this game, and the smallest ship was a thousand-ton destroyer.

"That's because we came early, and there were more participants than last time. ”

It didn't take long for Arisha's voice to be heard in Otowa's headphones.

"Is it more than last time?" Otoha asked, curiously.

"Well, last time it was 15 vs 15, but this time it's a 20 v20 fight. Arisa paused for a moment before he continued, "And there will be merchant ships to escort in a moment, and they will be called big." ”

"Then I'll see. Otowa said with a smile.

……

It didn't take long for five ships much larger than the Draco to sail over.

Arisa was right, these ships were not small, and if Otowa guessed correctly, each merchant ship had a displacement of at least 5,000 tons.

The merchant ships have all sailed to the spawn point of the Otowa side, and her team is naturally the defender.

"The protagonist is here, and it looks like the game is going to start soon. Arisa said expectantly.

"These merchant ships seem to be still armed. ”

After Otowa finished speaking, he slowly lowered the telescope in his hand.

There are a lot of anti-aircraft guns installed on the decks of these ships, and it seems that there are a few single-mounted guns that I don't know whether they are 120mm or 127mm, and the self-defense firepower can be said to be quite powerful.

"Well, after all, if you don't have self-defense firepower, it's too easy to be destroyed. ”

"Are these cannons being operated?" Otowa continued.

"Nope. Arisa shook her head, then continued: "There was not a single person on the ship, it was all controlled by computers. ”

"Eh, isn't that invincible?"

The computer's ability to calculate the trajectory is completely different from that of a human being, and the accuracy is naturally very different.

"These computers are set with deviation values, and they won't be missed. Arisa smiled, then continued, "The hit rate is about ...... Is it about 2,000 MMR?"

"Is it only two thousand?"

Otowa's surprise is not unreasonable, the students who have just graduated from the school have at least 2500MMR, and 2000 is completely amateurish.

"Well, last time it was said that a merchant ship slaughtered a team of attackers, and the War Games Alliance just cut the AI level of the merchant ship. Arisa said helplessly.

“……”

Slaughtered by merchant ships...... This attacker is too embarrassing, isn't it?

----------------I'm the dividing line--------------

"Game on!"

About 10 minutes later, the ship's radio received the referee's signal.

After that, the chimneys of the 20 ships spewed smoke one after another, and each ship also moved in unison, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"Suzuna, inform your teammates that we will take the initiative. ”

Not long after the game began, Arisa spoke on the ship's radio.

The rules of the War Games League are confusing, and ships of different wings cannot use radio communication with each other, only passing information through lights and flags.

Therefore, if you want to play a good field team, you must have a signalman who is not pitted.

After receiving Arisha's order, the girl, whom she called "Suzuna", quickly went to the top of the bridge and operated the searchlight placed there.

Soon, several ships around also sent back information with searchlights.

"Suzuna, what do they say?" asked Arisha.

"They said, 'Good luck and good sailing.'" ”

"Very good, let's reply to them too~"

"Understood. ”

No matter what time it is, there is always an indispensable exchange of gifts.

The ships in the team can probably be divided into two categories, one is light cruisers and destroyers like the Tenryu, and the other is the old cruisers of World War I and even before World War I.

These old cruisers look a little old, but their guns and tonnage are not ornaments, and they are much better in terms of firepower and protection than the Tenryu-class where Otowa is located.

However, the disadvantage is not without it, that is, their speed is very impressive, generally only in the early 20s, they are relatively weak in offensive combat, and they are better at fighting defense.

Shizuku's temperament seems to be similar to Otoba, and he doesn't like to guard the stalk and wait for the rabbit, so he chose the Tenryu, which has a stronger offensive ability.

Although they are the defenders, the defenders don't have to be completely defensive, and it's good to send a few clippers out to scout in the jungle.

"Full power! Keep the boiler running at maximum power!"

"Understood. ”

As usual, it was Arisa who was in charge of these little things.

Advancing at full speed, the Draco quickly threw off its teammates behind it and went deep into the sea ahead alone.

……

After a period of sailing, a small island came into view.

According to common sense, it is impossible for such an archipelago to suddenly appear in this part of the sea. However, in order to make the game more interesting, the War Games Alliance deliberately added many such floating islands to the playing field.

The observers of the Draco were still very conscientious and informed Arisa of the news as soon as possible.

"If the enemy wants to reach the convoy at the first time, the archipelago ahead is the way to go. Arisa paused, then continued, "Let's just wait here and see if we can collect some tolls or something." ”

Before the war, Shizuku had told Arisa most of the tactics, and what Arisa was saying now was actually what Shizuku had told her before.

"Otowa, get ready to fire, the enemy could appear at any moment. ”

"It's ready for a long time, it's ready to fire at any time. Otowa smiled, then went on to say on the radio, "It's Arisha, don't be too nervous. ”

"How could I be nervous!" said Arisha, a little displeased.

"Yes, yes, I understand~"
