Ship guns roared.

Smoke and war enveloped the sea.

It turns out that a naval fire clash in the world is a big event.

But in the Azure Star World, especially in border towns like Avalon, war could break out at any time.

Marina had just finished a battle with the Deep-Sea Fleet, and had personally sent three Deep-Sea Battleships close to the capital of Avalon to the bottom of the sea.

Powerful firepower.

Thick armor protection.

There is also a superhuman range advantage.

After a battle, Mana was hit by only 3 shells from the enemy, which was not considered damage.

The cannonballs flying from the sky, whether they are fired at close range or at a long distance.

Both Elle and Marina adopt a fully protective armor layout.

Once the ship girls of the twin stars asked Truth Nai.

Because in the memories of the ship's wives, full protection turned out to be backward and unreasonable.

Comprehensive protection, key protection, this is the design concept of the two eras before and after the armor layout of the Navy's capital ships.

Just like they literally.

Full protection can be explained by the fact that the armor is evenly distributed and wraps around the entire hull.

Key protection is to thicken the armor of key parts, and reduce the armor of non-key parts or even not arrange armor at all.

On the surface, it seems that comprehensive protection is more appropriate than focused protection.

But after all, times are different.

At that time, for the so-called naval treaty, the countries strictly limited the total tonnage of each country's warships, and also limited the displacement of various types of warships.

In the era when naval warships were getting larger and larger, how to form the strongest combat power under the limited displacement tonnage became the focus.

Moreover, in order to cope with the increasing caliber of naval guns in various countries, key protection is indeed more effective than comprehensive protection.

But there are also mavericks who walk on the old path of the times.

This was the case with the two sisters, the battleship Bismarck and the battleship Tirbitz.

When the whole world was focusing on defense, the two sisters still used comprehensive protective armor, making Bismarck known as the most survivable battleship at the time.

There is actually a reason why the North House sisters took this path.

As with the press docks, Bismarck and Tirbitz announced fake tonnage before the construction was completed.

The pressure dock said that there was only 50,000 tons of displacement, and the Bismarck sisters said that it was only 40,000 tons.

Then when they came out, all three of them had more than 10,000 tons of drainage than they claimed.

In fact, this is a violation.

It's just that at that time, similar things were somewhat unconscionable and unexplained in various countries.

Under the premise of having a large displacement, the Bismarck sisters chose to strengthen their armor because of the national conditions in which they were located at that time.

It's the same with Avalon.

Azure Star does not have a naval treaty that restricts the order.

The extent to which the Admirals can transform the ship's Maiden depends entirely on the sudden interest of the elves.

In this case, of course, Koji chose a seemingly older but more appropriate layout of all-round protective armor.

The battles over the past two years have also proved that full protection armor is far better than key protection until it has the advantage of displacement tonnage and the powerful performance of the new alloy formula.

Ellie and Marina have been hit by enemy shells more than once, and there are important parts, and more so are other less important ones.

Instead, other ships need to be repaired once after each battle.

Ellie and Marina don't need it.

Full protective armor gives the two sister ships near-average hull defense.

It doesn't make much difference whether they hit their key parts or not, they either directly bounce off the cannonball, or they can't penetrate the armor.

Shells that fail to penetrate the target's armor generally have two consequences, one is to flatten one's head, and the other, more commonly, is a tiao egg.

TIAO shells, artillery shells hit the target armor at high speed, but cannot cause penetration, can only leave a scratch on the target armor, skim in other directions, and bounce away.

This is manifested on the battlefield:

The chirping of shells hit the target.

After a bang, it was bounced to an unknown place.

This kind of attack has happened to both the sisters Ellie and Marina many times.

Ultra-high armor gives the two sisters the capital of a low-level head-on confrontation with high-level deep-sea warships.

Looking at how many ships can be in other towns, they can defend the sea frontier alone with the enemy, and they can go out and return to the port completely in each battle.

Skillfully traverse the fog of war outside Avalon.

Returning to port, Marina didn't go to compete for a spot with the Sharona Guard fleet in Port One.

The Avalon Port 2 development is in the semi-completed stage, unlike in the past, where it still retains its pristine natural features.

Instead, a number of battleship mooring troughs were built, and after the hull of the ship with a displacement of nearly 50,000 tons entered the special channel, a large number of unmanned equipment controlled by Artoria sent her into the inner harbor.

A 50,000-ton supership slowly disappeared into the water.

This scene made many of the shipwives who were guarding the house talk about it after seeing it.

Indoor ports in the Azure Star World are not uncommon, and many admirals have hollowed out the side of the town guard mansion to create a sci-fi port.

But those harbors either had a natural foundation or were built little by little over decades by the Admiral, and were built with the threat of landslides, which was not accepted by most people.

Let's not talk about whether Avalon has that much time.

You can't tell that this island of pentagram has a huge mouth underneath it.

They can't imagine what an underwater base is, and Koji can build various living spaces in the underwater location of Avalon whenever needed.

With personal experience, the carrier Niang Kaga, who was guarding the town of Sharena, found a pedestrian exit from the port of Avalon II.

There were no guards guarding the door.

But Kaga walked to the front and back of the door and was dumbfounded - what about the doorknob?

Looking left and right to see that it didn't look like danger, Kaga carefully reached out and pushed, but he couldn't push, and he pulled again, and he couldn't pull either.

It looked like it was indeed a door, and after thinking about it for a while, Kaga-sensei still couldn't find a way to open it.

Knock?

It is obviously a very thick iron gate.

Knock again - Kaz ~ the pneumatic sound of the hatch opening.

"Uh......" Kaga and the small figure that appeared inside the door were facing each other.

Kaga had met Avalon's Eili-chan a few times, and it was the first time he had met this Elly's sister, Marina.

Kaga-sensei sometimes wonders why the Admiral gave them an apparently neon name.

Said that the Admiral likes the ship's mother of the R series?

Not really.

Avalon also only has five neon destroyer guys.

"What's the matter with you?" Blinking wide-eyed, Mana kindly asked:

"Seeing that you've been here for a long time, I came here to open the door for you, are you lost?"

Get lost?

Kaga was slightly embarrassed.

"I think your name is Truth."

"Mmmm, Truth Nai is Andrea-class No. 2 ship, and my sister is Ellie."

"I saw you just now, your hull ...... It doesn't seem to be docked in the harbor, and I'm a little curious. ”

"You see, Marina can take you in."

"It's not Avalon's secret, is it?"

"No, Commander Shalena is also in the harbor now, and Marina can take you to her."

Hearing that his own admiral was also inside, Kaga was immediately relieved.

If Marina had just told her that this was a confidential area, Kaga would be willing to cooperate and go back.

Marina didn't come alone.,There's a strange and cute car behind Lori.,There's a small car that's as petite and cute as her.。

Walking around Avalon's modern base in an electric car, Kaga felt a different mood.

The feeling of two worlds that is completely different from Avalon in the wind and snow outside.

Outside of Avalon, it's a beautiful maritime city.

Parks, villas, forests, and residential areas built on the edge of mountains and rivers.

All you can see here is a variety of cement passages and steel bases, and there is a kind of mission flavor during the war years.

After passing through the passage, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge underground space appeared in front of Kaga.

I can't describe how Kaga felt when he saw this majestic base.

It was like the visual impact of a modern person walking into the future sci-fi world of the universe and the space port.

The car carrying Kaga and Marina is as small as an ant in this vast space.

"This is the second port of Avalon, and the hull of Truth Nai is over there, see?" The little ship girl pointed to the distance.

Kaga looked in the direction that Mana was pointing and saw an empty indoor harbor.

The hull of the ship with a length of more than 250 meters is the most conspicuous.

There were several other warships not far from her.

Kaga barely recognized the destroyer Ray among them, and the other two should also be two of the four.

Several battleships were not docked on the water normally, but were erected and firmly fixed to the ship's platform, like some of the most beautiful warship models in the exhibition.

"Hiss~"

Kaga suddenly took a breath of cold air.

She saw the wreckage of a massive battleship surrounded by countless robotic arms.

Say it's wreckage because Kaga didn't see a complete aircraft carrier hull.

She was dismembered and dismantled piece by piece by the robotic arm, exposing the delicate core veins and core nodes inside the hull.

In the eyes of the ship's mother, this picture is as terrifying as we humans seeing African cannibals.

"That'...... That...... That ......" Kaga was speechless with shock.

"Huh? Oh, that's Sister Lexington. ”

"Lexington!"

Isn't she Avalon's secretary ship?

Kaga couldn't understand why the Admiral would dismantle Lexington in such a brutal way.

Admiral Shalena, who was standing under the Lexington hull and looking up, thought the same thing.

Sharona and her wife, Lexington, had been asking for a long-awaited opportunity to see it.

After entering the underground space of Avalon, the female admiral had three views of the past world and almost collapsed.

When he saw the Lexington hull on the transformation table, he almost didn't go after Koji, and he was dissatisfied with his treatment of his secretary ship's mother.

"This is how you transform Avalon?" Sister Shalena's eyes were heartbroken when she looked at Koji.

Koji nodded when he didn't feel anything.

"If it weren't for the fact that you're a woman, I wouldn't have let you in."

"Lexington's hull is just an aircraft carrier, and I didn't tell you to let your wife undress and dangle in front of me."

"I won't think so, I'll tell you, the color of my wife's underneath and her hair...... Ah, Madame, stop, Admiral knows the mistake. "To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
