Chapter 48: The War of Annihilation and the Spoils of War
Several girls who are floating on the surface of the sea with the special buoyancy provided by the ship's armor are wholeheartedly on combat alert. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although the position of the deep sea can be roughly confirmed by relying on the reconnaissance of the air fleet, in order to avoid accidents, Cong Yun and Detetsu, who are on escort mission, are very careful to observe the surrounding situation.
"Miss Commander, are the enemies only those two deep seas this time?" The girl, who had not noticed the abnormality and was already a little tired, shook her long straight silver hair that had been combed into a princess style, and asked Talia in the distance through a spiritual link.
"Yes, but the local firepower doesn't seem to be weak, and it needs to be dealt with carefully." , Talia's soft thought came, making this slightly boring girl a little more settled.
"Oh." , the girl replied very coldly. Just two deep seas, with the help of the two battleship girls standing in front of her, can solve it. Or maybe it's that the battlefield can't play her abilities, and she is not very happy until now.
"Mary, please cooperate with me to suppress the enemy with naval artillery later, and if you can, it would be best to sink it directly with artillery." , Haruna was controlling the four twin naval guns behind him, adjusting the fire control through the crude radar equipment, and said to another battleship not far away.
"I understand, but the future battle still needs to be dominated by Haruna's sister, and my ship's guns have a very limited ability to damage......", the girl named Mary is also carrying four twin naval guns, but if you look closely, you can find that it is one size smaller than the naval guns that Haruna carries.
"No problem, relying on the two of us is enough to suppress that deep sea." ,Hazuna also hopes to solve the enemy's deep sea at one time by herself.,As she has a deep bond with Talia.,Naturally, she also knows some more secret things.ć
"But the reaction of the deep sea was really unexpected, I thought it would be a two-hour chase......", Mary adjusted the ship's guns slightly, and expressed surprise at the sudden action of the deep sea.
If it was Haruna or Mary herself, in the face of opponents who were far more numerous, it would naturally be a priority to avoid frontal combat as much as possible and engage in guerrilla warfare, but the deep sea did not seem to do so.
This kind of action made the two of them deepen their understanding of the deep sea again: the deep sea people who have not reached the fifth energy level do not have too strong intelligence, and only rely on instinct to fight and judge the pros and cons.
After the sea fog dissipated, relying on the enhanced eyesight of the ship's equipment, the two shipwrecks had already observed two deep seas in the distance, but this distance did not reach the firing distance of the main gun, and the two could not engage in long-distance artillery battles for the time being.
Just as the two girls were concentrating on adjusting the ship's guns, Cong Yun, who was still in charge of the guards, keenly noticed the abnormality!
The artillery fire that fell from the sky fell from an extremely long distance beyond this direction, and Cong Yun, who was aware of this scene, had quickly notified the other three.
The four girls further widened the gap between the fleet's formations, and the cannon that fell from the sky burst mercilessly. Even Haruna, who was protected by an energy barrier, was cautious about the radiation shockwave generated by the explosion.
"Haruna...... This deep-sea ability ......", even Talia, who was watching the battle in a special way, could feel the power of the explosive and rapid cannon fire, and she didn't expect such a powerful firepower, and she was a little worried about the ship girls present.
"The firepower of the deep sea is very strong...... Cong Yun, Detrojin! Stand back! After confirming the extent of damage to the two ship's equipment through the spiritual power link, Haruna, who served as the flagship of the fleet, gave such an order without hesitation.
"Admiral, the capabilities of this deep-sea are somewhat more than our estimated upper limit ......," Haruna, who was maneuvering at high speed to evade, maintained a spiritual connection with Talia at all times, and revisited his previous judgments.
"Can't we suppress it even if we have a numerical advantage?" , Hearing Haruna's statement, even Talia was a little surprised.
"The enemy has an all-round superiority in firepower in the deep sea...... Not only is the maximum range much higher than that of Mary and me, but the destructive power of its naval guns is also very amazing, almost as powerful as the salvo fired by the guns of Nagato's predecessors that I have observed...... If the shot just now had been a close miss, my ship's armament would have been slightly damaged. Given that the deep sea was shooting from a distance, Haruna and the others still had enough time to judge and dodge, but this kind of battle made it impossible for either side to really hurt the other.
"Drag it in this area first, we need more support." At this moment, after knowing exactly from Haruna about this extremely tricky deep sea, Talia naturally heard what Haruna meant, and in desperation, he could only abandon the previous idea of solving it in one go.
Originally, in the previous tactical arrangement, encountering such an opponent could allow Chiyoda, who has the ability to strike aviation, to attack and weaken it. But the previous failed aviation lightning strike also made her know that this deep sea also has dense anti-aircraft firepower, and even Chiyoda can't cause much damage to it.
"The second interception fleet is asking for support, the enemy has strong naval artillery firepower in the deep sea, can you let Anne carry out the aviation support mission?" Talia clearly conveyed her thoughts to the heart of Aritus, who was seated not far from her in the town guard's mansion.
"I am not in favor of having Anne provide air support, and in the previous interception, Anne used two formations of fighter-bombers to bomb her to no avail." Aritaus quickly vetoed the proposal, and Anne had just bombed without success, which made Aritaus pay more and more attention to this deep sea.
The air support fleet was unable to provide effective help, and until this point Talia had no choice but to wait for the arrival of the First Volley Fleet, which was still in the rear.
Talia, who had already made a choice in mind, ordered Haruna and Marie to continue the artillery battle at a long distance and constantly maneuver to avoid dragging the deep-sea battleship.
"I will let them continue to drag this deep sea, and I will also ask the first volley fleet to come quickly and destroy it as soon as possible to end the battle." Knowing that the battle was at a stalemate, Talia made such a request to Aritus.
"It will take 4 minutes to ...... where you are," Aritus, who had also put his mental energy into this area to observe, calmly informed her of his location. Since the deep sea did not continue to escape, the first volley fleet could quickly arrive here, but they still needed to survive this time before that.
At this moment, the distance between Haruna, Mary and the two deep seas had been shortened to about twelve kilometers, although the hit rate of the two ship's guns was not high at this distance, but they were able to avoid the powerful guns fired by the deep-sea battleships in time.
Blazing fireworks and shock waves drifted on the turquoise sea from time to time, and the terrifying radiation energy escaped here, and only the two battleship wives with the protection of a sufficiently strong radiant energy layer could ignore these easy battles.
In the few rounds of confrontation just now, the two of them had already realized that the power of the two naval guns alone at this moment was not enough to break the protective energy layer of this deep sea powerhouse. Instead, they used the radiation blast from the high-explosive bomb to damage them and another bathyscapher.
When Haruna's naval guns cooled down and the scene was temporarily under Marie's control, an inappropriate loud roar suddenly came from behind the two of them.
Mary, who still needed to suppress the scene, had no intention of checking who was making such a roar, although she could probably guess that it was the one in the first volley.
Haruna, on the other hand, relied on her eyes to notice the petite girl not far away who was concentrating on controlling a trapezoidal ship suit that was nearly twice her size. Just like she had seen a year ago, she was still in a similar outfit, but she could sense its higher radiation energy level and the powerful naval guns.
Blazing fireworks erupted from the icy chambers, and the shells that curved gracefully in mid-air exploded close to the perimeter of the deep-sea battleship.
She was a little surprised by the near-miss result of just the first school shot, but by the time the guns had cooled down, she had already communicated with Talia through a psychic link.
Relying on radar and other information from De Moines, Veneto also had a general understanding of the tricky deep-sea battleship.
Anne had previously carried out aerial bombardments without achieving decent results, and at this moment, neither Haruna nor Mary under Talia seemed to have been able to destroy its protective energy layer.
Bang! As the three battleship wives approached, the deep sea in the distance seemed to realize the danger coming, and once again projected heavy artillery fire into the sea beside them.
After propping up the protective energy layer and feeling the intensity of the radiation shockwave a little, Veneto also treated the deep sea with caution.
That kind of deep-sea battleship was saddled with four twin jet-black naval guns, and the power of its firing naval guns was even comparable to that of some high-star battleships. This surprised Veneto, who had previously killed a lower-tier deep-sea battleship when she and Aritus had escaped from the deep-sea encirclement, but they had not felt it so strongly.
After some negotiation between Talia and Aritus, the three shipwives took turns using naval guns to suppress them, and Anne, who had been assigned to the blockade of the sea, also sent a team of fighter-bombers to assist them in launching an attack on the deep-sea cruiser guarding the side.
The overwhelming artillery fire and strong radiation shock wave made it impossible for other ships with weak energy barriers to set foot in this sea area, and they could only wait for the three battleship girls to give full play to their strength.
After several rounds of naval cannon fire, even the rather powerful deep sea was a little unable to support it, and they relied on instinct and a little weak wisdom to act, and they already felt from their instincts that it could threaten their lives.
Touch! After several near-misses, a high-energy armor-piercing projectile fired by Veneto finally broke the energy barrier of the deep sea, followed by a high-explosive bomb fired by Haruna.
The deep-sea battleships that had been bombarded by several naval guns were far from being in the same good condition at the moment, relying on the reconnaissance of carrier-based aircraft, most of the ship equipment they originally carried were also in tatters, and even three of the previous eight naval guns were destroyed by direct fire.
Of course, there was also some damage on the side of Aritus and Talia, and both Veneto and Mary were damaged by a near-miss shockwave, which damaged part of the ship's equipment.
The deep sea, which was completely at a disadvantage, was unable to escape the fate of being sunk even though it struggled many times. An armor-piercing bullet from Haruna put an end to the last days of this crazy life, and the sight of the slow sinking into the sea caused the bathyscaper to flee without logic.
The three ship girls who had just finished solving a round of battles did not have the heart to solve her, but handed over the task to several ship girls who were temporarily dispatched and the carrier-based aircraft of Annie and others.
The battle against the deep-sea battleship was unlike anything they had encountered before, and Haruna and Marie felt in their hearts that it would be very difficult to completely sink the deep-sea if it were just the two of them. A thick energy barrier and powerful firepower make this deep-sea battleship a formidable opponent.
"Whew, it's finally over." , The girl Haruna, who has not yet unloaded the ship but has relaxed in her heart, looked at the deep sea that was gradually sinking into the water, and sighed.
At this moment, it is the few ship girls who have just fought fiercely, and they are quietly waiting for something when the combat mission has ended.
Although the probability of the deep sea dropping the radiation core is not very high, with the increase of the deep sea energy level, this probability still increases slightly to a certain extent, and the four deep sea ships that were sunk before have not dropped the core, and everyone is still slightly looking forward to it.
Not long had passed, a cloudy crystal ball emitting a different blue-green strange light suddenly appeared from the place where the deep sea sank, and Talia, who saw this scene through a special vision, seemed to have a slight shock in his heart.
Just as the boy looked at this somewhat unusual radiant core with a strange feeling, the words from the spiritual link suddenly interrupted his train of thought:
"Mr. Aritus, according to the merits of sinking the deep sea, this core is something that you and I have the right to fight for. But it will be of great use to me, and I am willing to pay a generous sum of money in exchange for ownership of the loot. ā
For some reason, the boy could hear a hint of anxiety and urgency in her words, and the boy looked at the blue-green radiant core again, and although he still had doubts in his heart, he continued to ask:
"How much are you going to bid?"
"S$25,000." , The girl didn't seem to care about reporting this number, and the boy could hear her inevitable voice from it. And to be fair, this price is not on the low side, but it is too high to some extent, almost the price of a three-level battleship radiation core. You must know that even if he has the right to fight, he can only get half of it at most.
Although the boy vaguely guessed about it, he finally agreed to the girl's request. The core of the third energy level is not needed for him for the time being, and the girl's bid is indeed quite sincere, which can largely make up for the financial loopholes that he already has some problems.
"No problem, I give up the right to distribute this loot, I have signed the agreement and sent it." , The boy no longer hesitated to say directly to the girl, and with the large amount of money in the private mailbox changed the email prompt, it also made the teenager realize the girl's thirst for this thing again.
However, why does she care so much about this core when she doesn't need to be promoted to a fourth-level ship under her command? The boy looked at the sudden increase in funds and began to ponder.
