Chapter 197 197 Intermission
As dusk approached, the glow of the magic weapons over Tokyo diminished.
The battle queens on both sides were exhausted, and the intensity of the battle naturally dropped significantly. Most of the Japanese warriors retreated beyond the range of the U.S. naval guns, and most of the seigrenees landed to make up for repair, and only some of the more energetic seigneurs remained in the air to shoot at the U.S. warlords.
The situation of the U.S. military is similar, and the battle girls who are still in the air are all girls who have been replaced from other positions on the battleship, and they have no intention of taking the initiative to attack, but only use shooting to harass and contain the Japanese.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, only the gods of both sides were still fighting in the air.
**
Charlotte's operational guiding ideology has been changed to pure containment, and the purpose is only to prevent the magic armor with chrysanthemum ornaments entangled with her from running away to cooperate with other Japanese gods to form a flanking attack.
It is understandable for her to do this, after all, the goal of this attack is only to destroy the enemy's magic armor to a state that cannot be repaired in a short period of time, and judging from the remaining maintenance capabilities of Japan, this goal has been achieved now, and it has been overachieved. Therefore, Charlotte thinks that there is no need to waste her mental strength, after all, she does not know what kind of unexpected situation will occur in the future, and she, as a symbol of the United States of America, must preserve enough strength.
As Charlotte's opponent, Aiko really wants to continue to fight, but there is a difference in the performance of the magic armor between the two sides, and - Charlotte obviously feels that the purity of her bloodline should be above Aiko, and her ability is originally stronger - so when Charlotte is determined to start delaying, Aiko has no chance of realizing it at all.
Charlotte even had the energy to pay attention to the situation in the other two "sub-battlefields".
Helen seemed to have a tie with the other side, and the damage of the magic guide armor on both sides was half a pound or two, but the Americans could restore Helen's armor within forty-eight hours by relying only on the fleet's repair and repair capabilities, and the Japanese did not have this ability. Helen was obviously well aware of this, so she adopted a fighting strategy. The Japanese war queen was too upright to see that Helen was planning to exchange the loss of her armor for the loss of her armor, so Helen achieved the combat goal.
Observing the situation on Helen's side, Charlotte even couldn't help but smile, this strategy of carefully calculating and then using the simplest and most direct way to achieve the goal really has Helen's style.
On the other side, the fighting was much more tragic.
Luna's own armor was already broken, and her mental strength was also worrisome, Charlotte had recently blocked Luna's magical communications - because it was almost all heavy gasps, giving the impression that Luna was in the magical armor.
Thankfully, though, the other party was in a pretty bad situation, giving up all her equipment except for the core, and manipulating her near-naked magic armor to deal with Luna.
"Both of these are good enough," Charlotte muttered quietly, but Luna's personality is very likely to develop into the way she is now, as Charlotte had long anticipated.
Giving Luna a Comparative Beat-Resistant Magic Guide Armor was also based on this consideration, and now it seems that this decision is also the right one.
The Magic Armor called the Steel Fist is equipped with a special magic device called the "Inertial Damper", which counteracts inertia with mental power. According to the researchers of the Magic Channel, the field generated by this damper is actually similar to the nature of the defensive field that Shenji usually uses, and they only fine-tune the value of this field so that it "only acts as a barrier to inertia".
Charlotte still knows a lot of scientific theories, and she can't imagine how to block inertia, and she can't answer the question of why researchers can't answer it. The so-called digitization of magic is nothing more than finding the connection between various superficial phenomena in the magic system, and in Charlotte's view, it is just an evolved version of the magic technique that human beings have developed for hundreds of years and "know what it is, but don't know why it is".
However, the ignorance of the principle of the road does not affect the United States from applying these superficial laws to actual combat, and the Germans will not also put into actual combat the controllable shield in close warfare.
In short, when Luna activates the inertial damper, she is equivalent to turning on the shield, and her mental power will be continuously devoured, in order to ensure a long-term battle, she must master the activation time of the damper and create a chance for herself to rest.
That's why she used a fierce attack to intimidate the Japanese god at the beginning, forcing the Japanese god to pull away and deal with her - in fact, the most suitable "steel fist" for Luna to play is this kind of mid-range whirling battle, in this kind of battle, she can get enough rest between starting the damper, and each time the damper is activated, it does not take too long to activate the damper, as long as it completes the change of movement state to close it, and then only the power of the armor itself is enough to resist air resistance.
In order to confuse the Japanese, Luna also deliberately activated the rocket booster when the Japanese were about to distance themselves, creating the illusion that "I just want to fight in close combat".
didn't expect that the Japanese god would see through Luna's intentions in such a short time - Charlotte didn't know what to do, and Luna killed a Japanese war queen halfway, which inspired the fighting spirit of the Japanese god queen.
Charlotte recalled the information on the Japanese war queen stored in her memory, and the one who fought against Luna should be the naval battle queen named Tachibana Qinli, who is said to be Lin Youde's **** childhood playmate.
During her time in Potsdam, Charlotte and the fox tried each other once: as soon as she arrived at Sanssouci Gate, the fox shouted "How cute" and pounced on her, and she knocked her away. In fact, both sides consciously tested the strength of the other party.
In terms of strength alone, that fox is probably in the top three in Charlotte's cognition.
No, maybe first, she may be stronger than Queen Isabella of England.
The fox's childhood friend is behaving now, and that's acceptable.
Charlotte launches a diversionary attack on Aiko, while paying attention to Tachibana Jeanri, who is still struggling with Luna.
The breastplate of Tachibana's magic armor had been damaged, and Charlotte could see her face through the cracks through the USS America's enhanced vision system, and it was obvious that she was as tired as Luna, but her face was full of fighting spirit.
It must have been that fighting spirit that allowed her to continue to use fast and precise attacks in such a tired situation, and to move deftly through the air.
In contrast, Luna's flaws are getting bigger and bigger, and the armor on her body is constantly adding new scars.
"This brute bull is really unrelenting." Charlotte muttered, and she glanced at the time and took a deep breath.
The goal of the battle has been achieved, there is no need to continue to drag on, in case the brute suffers a loss, the gain outweighs the loss.
Charlotte then pressed the flare launch button.
Three flares were launched from her back, blasting red, blue, and green balls of light in the twilight light.
At the same time as the signal was issued, Charlotte activated the magic communication and ordered Luna, "Retreat, the goal has been achieved." ”
"No, I can keep fighting! This damn fly is flying everywhere, I'm going to slap her to death! ”
"If necessary, you'll have a chance tomorrow." Charlotte said coldly, "Now give me a retreat." ”
A few seconds later, Charlotte was pleased to see that Luna's magic armor began to move closer to the battle queen troops who had risen into the air. Charlotte herself operated the USS America to retreat, and the magic armor of Prince Aiko, who was in front of her, did not catch up.
In such a state, even the god will not choose to fight with a large group of war queens, and the loss of mental power in vain is not counted, in case the retreating god Ji kills a horse pistol, it will be ****.
And just like that, the curtain came down on the whole day of fierce fighting.
The daylight, the longest day since Japan's independence, came to an end, and night began to fall.
