Chapter 42: The Duty of Prestige

Richelieu and Hindenburg were not far from the beach, and a long-range salvo from the beach from Prestige and Counterattack seemed to be a good hindrance to Hindenburg's pursuit of Richelieu.

Hindenburg simply stopped at sea and waited for prestige and counterattacks to enter the battlefield.

The upcoming battle made Hindenburg very excited.

"Hindenburg, I think you should retreat now," Elendt's voice came from the communicator.

"I refuse"

"Xing..."

Hindenburg crushed the communicator and threw it into the sea, "no one can stop me"

Prestige and counterattack relied on high speed, and quickly rushed to Richelieu's side, "Richelieu, how are you doing?" ”

"It's not very good, there are only two-thirds of the shield left, and if you get hit directly, you will enter a state of breaking" Richelieu's expression was very solemn.

"Welcome to the battlefield, prestige, the one next to you is so similar to you, it must be a counterattack, good, good!" Hindenburg began to laugh uncontrollably when he said the back.

"This madman" prestige does not intend to catch up with the deep sea, "counterattack you attack from the left, Richelieu you attack from the right, I am in charge of the front"

As soon as the words fell, the prestige rushed forward, the naval guns aimed at Hindenburg, direct salvo, the twin 381 mm guns accelerated the shells to the muzzle velocity of 732 meters per second, at this time the prestige and Hindenburg distance was only less than ten kilometers, so close distance, the flight trajectory of the shells was almost a straight line, Hindenburg did not dodge, completely withstood this round of shelling, the explosion of the shells on the shield stirred up a halo of circles, followed by counterattacks and Richelieu's shelling, for a time, Hindenburg was completely surrounded by water columns and explosions.

Only three seconds later, Hindenburg fired back, the muzzle arrogance generated when the twin 406 main gun opened directly dispersed the smoke around Hindenburg, and the prestige immediately began to move in a Z-shape, the shell fell in the sea less than 10 meters away from the prestige, and the high-explosive bomb exploded at the moment it touched the seawater, and the power of the explosion even made the shield of prestige emerge, "The other party is using the 406 main gun, and the armor-piercing shell and the high-explosive bomb are mixed and loaded, pay attention to avoidance!" ”

"Understand (understand)"

Yu Xing's voice came from the "Prestige" communicator, "How is the battle?" ”

"I'm not very optimistic, the power of our cannonballs is very different from the power in the game, at present, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to go back" Prestige's voice was very calm, but the words that came out made Yu Xing's eyelids jump.

"What?" Yu Xing was a little incredulous, the power of the cannonball was much weaker than in the game?

That's right, artillery and shells! In the game, Yu Xing equips them with advanced artillery such as MK6, and they are equipped with Type 91 armor-piercing shells, and now it seems that these equipment attributes have not been brought to reality, and the prestige they use is only the normal artillery they have been equipped with in history.

If the attributes of the Deep Sea Flagship are the same as those in the game...

Thinking of this, Yu Xing didn't dare to deduce any further.

"Prestige! Lead the retreat! Right away! Yu Xing roared at the communicator, and at this moment, a deafening explosion was heard from the communicator, followed by a rustling noise.

Yu Xing looked at the communicator in his hand sluggishly, and his brain was blank.

"Admiral! Sister, they are still fighting with Hindenburg, my sister has just been hit directly by a high-explosive shell, and the communicator is damaged, she tells you not to worry. ”

The sound of counterattack came from the communicator in his hand, and Yu Xing only remembered at this time that counterattack and Richelieu also had a communicator, "I order you to retreat immediately!" Yu Xing shouted at the communicator again, but there was no counterattack answer from the communicator.

"Fight back! Richelieu! I command you to retreat at once! ”

Still no answer, Yu Xing was worried that the deep sea had blocked the communication, allowing the fireflies to convey their orders through the link network of the ship girls.

"Battlecruiser Prestige, battlecruiser Counterattack, battlecruiser Richelieu, the Admiral orders you to get out of the battle and return now, repeat, immediately out of battle and return!" After hearing Yu Xing's words, the fireflies conveyed Yu Xing's order to the prestige women.

At this time, the firefly looked serious, and Quincy no longer looked stupid as usual, and her blue eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Prestige, Admiral ordered us to get out of the fight," Richelieu's voice came from beside him.

Prestige naturally heard the command conveyed by the firefly, but looked at Hindenburg, who was laughing and firing not far away, "Richelieu, do you think we can be sure to get rid of her?" ”

"Do you think we have reached land and are it possible to defeat her?"

"If we retreat at this time, then it is the master who is threatened"

"Richelieu, fight back, are you willing to fight alongside me to the end?"

"Sister, I'll be where you are"

"Knight, never abandon your partner and run away alone"

"So, let's send this deep sea to where she needs to go" The prestige sped up again, rushing towards Hindenburg, and at the same time opening the communication with the fireflies.

"Firefly, leave with the Admiral" Prestige's reply sounded in the Firefly's head, "Prestige, Admiral told you to retreat!" The firefly replied immediately.

"There is no retreat in the battle of the Royal Navy" prestige said in a resolute tone, "It is your duty to protect the Admiral, please fulfill your duty, destroyer Firefly"

"Nope! Royal Navy, never retreat! That's what you just said! ”

The fireflies suddenly rushed into the sea, and Yu Xing watched the fireflies suddenly rush out and was stunned for a moment.

"Hotaru-chan!" Yu Xing tried to catch up, but he couldn't keep up with the speed of the fireflies at all, so he could only watch the fireflies run faster and faster and rush into the sea.

"Damn, why did Hotaru rush out? Quincy, can you get her back? ”

"The Firefly has reached a speed of 36 knots, and I can't keep up," Quincy replied in a serious tone that the star had never seen.

"Fireflies! I order you to come back at once! Using the communicator to contact the fireflies, Yu Xing shouted anxiously.

"Hotaru-chan, fight for the Admiral"

The firefly hung up communication with Yu Xing and increased its speed again, and the sound of artillery roaring in the distance was becoming clearer and clearer.

The fireflies had even seen the undulating columns of water in the distant sea.

At speeds close to 40 knots, the fireflies' scarves fluttered in the wind, torpedoes began to load into launchers, and special thrusters on their backs lit up.

Sister Prestige, wait for me, Hotaru will be there soon.

Once again, a high-explosive bomb exploded at a very close distance to reputation, dropping the shroud's power by 10%.

Prestige raised the naval gun in his hand and fired another salvo at Hindenburg, and under the attack of the three Prestige, Hindenburg's shield had already weakened visibly.

But it was still not enough, Prestige looked at the shield on Hindenburg's body, and before the other party's shield disappeared, I was afraid that the three of them would have been buried at the bottom of the sea.

Once again, the shells of the Hindenburg were evaded, and the prestige began to accelerate.

Since the shelling does not work, then hit it.

At this time, the distance between the prestige and Hindenburg was very close, and looking at the prestige rushing straight towards him, a trace of surprise flashed on Hindenburg's face.

"Prestige, what are you going to do?" Richelieu's voice rang out in the communication.

The voice of the prestige of "destroy the enemy" is very calm.

"You want to just hit it? Stop me! We can beat her! Richelieu was incredulous.

Richelieu made a turn and rushed towards prestige, hoping to intercept him.

But the distance between Richelieu and Prestige is much farther than the distance between Prestige and Hindenburg, at this time, Prestige is only less than 4 nautical miles away from Hindenburg, and at the speed of Prestige 30 knots, it will only take less than eight minutes to rush to Hindenburg, and Hindenburg, who guessed the intention of Prestige, simply stopped and watched Prestige rush towards him.

Damn, can't catch up! Richelieu is almost 7 nautical miles away from prestige, and even if the boiler is already overloaded, it will not be able to catch up with prestige, "prestige!" Richelieu yelled at the communicator.

The distance of 4 nautical miles was fleeting, and the distance between prestige and Hindenburg was close enough to hit it with a cannon.

"Richelieu, tell the master, let him not be sad" The voice of prestige came from the communicator again, but the content made Richelieu very angry.

"Don't be sad bullshit! How is it possible, if you really want the Admiral not to be sad, you will come back immediately! Let's beat her together! ”

Prestige did not respond to Richelieu.

Richelieu was about to speak again when he suddenly noticed a friendly marker approaching quickly on the radar, and fireflies rushed past Richelieu, and the jets behind him were filled with light.

Very close, Prestige looked directly at Hindenburg and saw appreciation in her eyes.

"It's worthy of the god of war, and he actually thought of a completely different attack method from the game so quickly, but this price seems to be your life."

"It's okay, as long as I can beat you"

"Not necessarily" Hindenburg first smiled mockingly, then his face changed, and he looked behind the prestige in surprise.

"Sister Prestige! The head hammer is Hotaru's patent! ”

The ejector behind the firefly was activated, and the firefly, which was already close to forty knots, was pushed by the jet, and the speed surged again, and the firefly rushed forward, "Look at my head hammer!" "The firefly leaped out of the water beyond the prestige, and with the impetus of the jet, the firefly flew some distance in the air, two blades popped out of the sailing foot, and then a knee smashed into the armor of Hindenburg.

Hindenburg's shield went straight from green to yellow and went into a mid-break state.

The damage dealt by the Firefly's Dreadnought Impact skill drops Hindenburg's ship's energy to just half.

"It's not over yet! Look at my torpedoes! The firefly kicked on the armor of Hindenburg, relying on the last remaining energy of the jet, bounced away from Hindenburg's side, and the two quintple 533mm torpedoes equipped on the waist were fired directly, a total of ten torpedoes, and rushed towards Hindenburg at a very fast speed.

"Damn it!" Hindenburg's ship had a strange glow, and unlike the last time Prestige saw it on the roof of the Ellent Building, Hindenburg began to fade away, but before she could completely disappear, the Firefly's torpedo had already hit her ship's load, and the explosion caused by the 533mm torpedo even caused the shield on Prestige, which was very close to Hindenburg, to drop directly to less than 50%, and Hindenburg, which was directly hit by two torpedoes, also disappeared into thin air.

Prestige stood in place, watching where Hindenburg had disappeared.

"Sister Prestige, are you alright? How is Hotaru doing? The firefly stopped beside Prestige and happily asked what Prestige thought.

"You have not fulfilled your responsibilities, Firefly" prestige looks calm and terrible.

"Prestige! The fireflies saved you, how can you say that about her! Richelieu, who had finally arrived at Prestige's side, heard Prestige's words and was furious.

"Everyone in the Royal Navy has their own responsibilities, and it is because of everyone's dedication that we can become the Royal Navy that the enemy fears." The voice of prestige remained calm.

"Sister...", the counterattack seemed to want to say something.

The firefly lowered its head, looking very lost.

"You English are really you!" Richelieu rushed in front of the prestige, and the raised fist was slowly lowered.

"Prestige... You..."

Tear after tear dripped down Prestige's face and fell into the sea, and the fireflies heard Richelieu's shout and raised their heads to look over, "Sister Prestige, I know that I was wrong, don't be sad, okay?" Firefly said anxiously.

"England wants everyone to do their duty," Prestige whispered, "and I, on the other hand, have not been able to fulfill my responsibilities"

"You're enough! Reputation! Richelieu grabbed the shoulders of prestige, "The enemy has been repulsed, and this is our victory!" No matter how this is obtained! ”

"Prestige, as a flagship, your duty is to bring them back to me safely," Counter suddenly spoke.

"I give an order in your capacity as the Admiral, Prestige, Richelieu, Firefly, Counterattack, Quincy, your first duty is to protect yourself, and then return safely from every mission" After Counterattack finished speaking, he pointed to his ear, "This is what the Admiral asked me to tell you, sister"

"Richelieu, received"

"Fight back, receive"

"Firefly, received"

"Quincy, Roger"

There was silence in the channel.

"Prestige, Received"

"Order, prestige, you're the flagship" Richelieu dismantled the ship's armament, leaving only the sailing equipment, and looked at prestige.

"First Fleet, mission accomplished, now start returning home" Prestige sent an all-channel broadcast around.

"Understood, congratulations on completing the mission, First Fleet" counterattack repeated Yu Xing's words.

Looking at the prestige and others who came back from the sea, Yu Xing took a long breath, everyone seemed to be fine, although he had already learned from the communication that everyone was fine, but he could only feel at ease when he saw it with his own eyes, and Li Xin ran out directly.

From the time they rushed here with Prestige, to the prestige they set off to support Richelieu, and then to the prestige they returned, Li Xin never spoke, just looked at the sea, firmly believing that Prestige they would come back safely.

Dewell stood by Yu Xing's side, he quickly arrived by helicopter under Yu Xing's notice, and then dispersed the people nearby, "Your girls, you are doing very well"

"Of course, they are my ship mothers" Yu Xing smiled lightly, took a step, and walked towards the prestige of them.

"Ship mother? It seems to be quite interesting" Dewell took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath, and then the smoke he exhaled covered his entire face, and behind the smoke, two falcon-like eyes stared at the people in the distance.
