"U331 area damaged!"

In the bridge of the 18309 ship, the head of the mechanical girl quickly refreshes the data on the headband, and at the same time turns the data into an intuitive graphic image and projects it on the large screen of the bridge.

"The area is a shield adjustment module, which is in automatic operation and there are no casualties. ”

"According to standard procedures, the area is isolated and a damage management team is dispatched. ”

"The safety factor of the upper magic circuit in this area is reduced, and once damaged, it will lead to the failure of the B battery, and it needs to be inspected in depth, and I have followed up. ”

"The accuracy of predicting the landing point of the forbidden spell cannon is not enough, and I am ready to take over the calculation. ”

"The threat of enemy fire is beyond estimates, and I will develop a new maneuver plan. ”

The battleship Ethereal Spirit reported a number of things it had to do, and each priority was marked as the highest, leaving Dekker and the others speechless.

relieved himself and scolded, "Isn't this guy's designer a coward?

The political commissar said in a cheerful tone: "Fortunately, it must do what it is ordered, and if you really leave everything to it to decide, it will be troublesome." ”

Ethereal defended himself: "My default assumption is that the safety of the ship's crew is the first priority, followed by the battleship itself, and the goal of destroying the enemy is not an absolute priority. ”

The Void Spirit Technical Director also hurriedly explained: "It still needs to learn, give it some time." And this situation ...... I mean, just ten days after leaving the factory, picking up a Marquis-class battleship alone doesn't seem to be a very normal situation. ”

The chief of staff hurriedly pulled the discussion back: ", this Marquis-class ship is a bit unusual, you have to make up your mind and let the ethereal spirit focus on one thing." ”

As a former member of the Aviator Commune, he was the first to try the Navy to carry the Ethereal Spirit, had a deep deal with the Ethereal Commune and the Research Institute, and even had some extraordinary expectations for his Ethereal, Dekker certainly understood why the Ethereal Spirit behaved now.

The battle in front of him is indeed beyond the ability of this budding newcomer.

said in a categorical tone, "18309, use eighty percent of your computing power on attacking, and leave the rest to the functional ethereals." The maneuver scheme was also not adjusted, and continued to accelerate, ready for the onboarding scheme. ”

The ethereal spirit was silent, presumably still calculating whether this order was in accordance with the code, and continued, "This is an official order. ”

At this time, the ethereal spirit was like an inexperienced and rigid officer, and mechanically responded: "Recorded, carry out the order." ”

The killer whales continued to pour heavy firepower, and at an increasing speed, rushed towards the Imperial warships several kilometers away.

Looking at the enemy ship that was hovering and maneuvering at the edge of the passage, like a huge white swan, said: "That guy's firepower is beyond expectations, not an ordinary marquis-level, so he was not intimidated by us." ”

The chief of staff was a little uncertain in his heart: "Do you really want to take on the broadside battle? Wouldn't it be too reckless?"

The political commissar's eyes lit up when he heard the "broadside battle" just now, and now he was brushing his clothes and hat, and when he heard this, he explained for: "This is not recklessness, the captain must have weighed it carefully." ”

"The firepower of the other party is far beyond that of ordinary Marquis-class warships, and there must be a distinguished guy on it, at least the commander of the detachment. ”

"In other words, it's a flagship that is fighting us. Since it is the flagship, the other warships of the detachment must be behind. ”

"I don't know how long the safe passage is on their side, but according to our side, it is four or five hundred kilometers at most. At the speed of an Imperial battleship, within two or three hours, reinforcements will arrive. ”

"So we had to take them out as quickly as possible, but we didn't have the Hammer of Destruction. It's too slow to gnaw with Thor's hammer and missiles, and you can only rely on torpedoes. ”

"Torpedoes are not guaranteed to work, so it is better to simply rush up to the side in one go. ”

"Broadside combat is our most powerful means of attack, even if there are several legends on it, can they beat us?"

The Chief of Staff nodded his head and looked at with a little more admiration.

smiled deeply and steadily: "When Ralch pulled me into the Navy, he told me that there would definitely be a day when I would be a captain in the future. ”

"So when I was in the Propaganda Department, I started reading books and studying. Now, if not a master tactician, at least he's an expert, trust me, that's right!"

The chief of staff hurriedly asked: "Captain, have you read professional books other than the textbooks for the command class? I don't even know that there are such books, can you tell me about them, I can also study." ”

smiled heartily: "It's the "Thirty-six Strategies of the Art of War" written by His Majesty Xiaohong, which is very inspiring. ”

The expressions of the chief of staff and the political commissar froze at the same time......

The chief of staff asked cautiously: "What is the ...... of this strategy you are using now?"

nodded: "The first plan, if you encounter something, you will not be reckless!"

The chief of staff and the commissar covered their faces at the same time, not knowing what to say.

said unsatisfactorily: "Don't look at this plan as straightforward as a knee-jerk reaction, it actually contains profound philosophy and wisdom......"

The chief of staff coughed and said, "I went to the defense department to strengthen the command. ”

The commissar also said: "I'm going to organize a pick-up commando." ”

smacked his lips: "I'm impatient when it comes to philosophy and wisdom, it's really rude." ”

At this time, the figure of the enemy ship had already filled the entire porthole, and waved: "Torpedo attack!"

..................

Near the B turret at the front of the 18309 ship, the outer layer of lattice armor and magic steel skin broke through a large hole of nearly ten square meters, and the remaining flames were still burning the inner and outer bulkheads. Due to the destruction of the shield adjustment node on the surface, the shield that clings to the hull of the ship has a round bubble here, as ugly as a blister on a person's body.

A number of short figures rushed into the still burning cabin, all wearing protective suits with large heads and small bodies, and it was the damage management team composed of kobold marines.

The one carrying the jar on his back spewed a jet of pale green water into the remnant flame. When the water jet encounters a burst of flame, it turns into a viscous slurry until it becomes a translucent solid jelly, which quickly extinguishes the fire.

Other kobolds threw clumps of pale gray gum into the breach, which stretched in the wind and intertwined into steel-like plates that filled the breach. Then use the telescopic rod to reinforce the structure, embed a piece of lattice armor bricks into it, repair a layer of beam frame, rivet the magic steel plate to the beam frame with an electric hand drill, and the breach is repaired.

There are also some kobolds who drill into the wiring well to check the condition of the magic circuit and circuit, and after confirming that there is no problem, the engineer connects the magic circuit in the cabin, replaces the damaged shield adjustment system, and the entire cabin is repaired.

The "blister" disappeared, and the shield was once again clinging to the surface of the battleship, and the lattice armor and magic steel skin underneath also regained their previous defensive capabilities. Of course, this is only temporary, the slime filling gum will age and fail within half a month, and the riveted beam frame does not meet the overall strength requirements of the battleship, and must be further repaired after returning.

At this time, the two warships were already less than five kilometers apart, and missiles were constantly being fired from the silos of 18309. These missiles followed closely behind Thor's hammer shells, penetrating through the crystallized areas on the enemy ship's shield, blasting clouds of pale purple flames on the enemy ship, engulfing cabins one by one.

It's a pity that the other party, as a marquis-class battleship, is not only large in size, but the armor used to protect the core area is not the ordinary enchantment material used by those cheap warships of the Baron and Viscount class. Even if the warhead of the missile is larger than that of the artillery shell, the core of the projectile can still cause a burst projectile with a secondary explosion, and most of the damage is still absorbed by the outer compartment, making it difficult to effectively destroy the inner elemental furnace, flying furnace, command bridge and core magic circuit.

The enemy's white hull was torn open with large gaps, revealing a checkered cabin structure, many of which twisted together, debris and human wreckage floating and colliding, and then pushed away by the damage crew and the magic golems, floating out of the spherical area shrouded in the ship's shield, and falling rapidly into the floating land and even the storm.

The damage management technology of the Imperial warship is not inferior to that of the Red Union on the surface, and the magic golem rudely straightens and twists the plates and pipes, riveting the pipes together, and then putting together the enchanted armor plates, which can weaken the next shell or missile. At this point, the paint was no longer bothered, and the battleship was covered with areas that looked like the scars on's body, and from time to time human bodies and magic golems could be seen spewing in the bursting flames of light.

..................

In the bridge of the Christian, the staff exclaimed.

"Watch out for the Red Devil's torpedoes!"

"They're going to take the ship!"

"It's impossible for us to win the broadside battle!"

"Get out of the tunnel now!"

The killer whale rushed from below, and the missiles fired from the silo could be seen clearly, and Phillips subconsciously raised his hand to give orders, and finally looked at the red dragon prince.

Badengolm said in an eager tone: "Rush into the floating land, use the floating land to get rid of the shipwharf, and continue to maneuver with the Red Devil." ”

This is the best and only option!

As he spoke, he was still trying to suppress the anger in his heart, if he had listened to his advice just now, he had made up his mind that even if he would be hit hard, the ship would face the enemy on the side, and exert all his firepower, even if it couldn't sink the killer whale, it would be difficult to move!

He had a strong feeling that the enemy had no actual combat experience at all, and the commander was definitely stunned. Even if they found that this side was not an ordinary Marquis-class battleship, they still charged directly under artillery fire, pressing the treasure on the broadside battle like a gamble.

Now there's still a chance......

As long as the Christian rushes into the floating area, it can prevent the portrayal with the difficult terrain. Moreover, in the floating land area, the opponent's speed advantage cannot be brought into play, on the contrary, his own side relies on the flexibility of the flying furnace to occupy a great advantage in maneuvering.

Such a simple truth, the other party didn't even think about it!

Hearing Badengolm say this, Phillips's eyes widened, as if he had heard something terrible.

The other staff members were not so subtle, and scolded one after another.

"Have you ever thought about Your Highness's safety!?"

"What should I do if the Red Devil fights with the floating land?"

"What are you going to do? We were already beaten all over the body, and we only shot through the opponent!"

"Your Highness's goal is not to defeat the enemy ship in front of you!"

The words of a certain staff member made Badengame completely sober up: "This is the battle of His Highness, not yours, Red Dragon!"

He lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, and when he looked up again, his eyes were bloodshot.

I was wrong, and the commander of the other party was not stunned......

He saw that the Christian was a flagship, and in this era, when there was no longer a mortal empress staring directly at her vassals, the one who could sit on the flagship and give orders would never be a guy like Rimaco who would only think about the outcome of the war, let alone himself.

From the beginning of the all-out attack, to the current broadside battle, that guy is not trying to scare away the Christian, but trying to catch the big man on this battleship!

It was a very sharp-eyed, accurate, strong-willed, and powerful man...... Very awesome guy.

Badengaum hoarsely said, "Well, then, it's better to destroy the floating land and then go ......"

Exit now, even if you come back with other warships, you will be blocked in the passage by the other party, and it is very unlikely that you will want to seize this floating land area.

Since it's hard to get it yourself, you can't let the Red Devil get it!

Phillips pinched his chin and fell into deep thought, and Badengolm was about to urge, and the battleship suddenly trembled violently, and several times in succession, the human body and equipment in the bridge flew together and collided with each other.

"Red Devil's torpedo!"

"We're in the way!"

"Two ...... No, three, all blocked!"

The report of the air defense department was full of joy and excitement resounded across the bridge, and Phillips patted his chest and chanted the blessing of the goddess.

With the maturity of the new ship design and the enchanted armor plate process, the fear of the Hammer of Thor and missiles has been reduced a lot by the Imperial officers and soldiers, and even if they can't be prevented, the damage of these two weapons is limited.

But the Red Devil's torpedo is still extremely terrifying, and it is a large missile in appearance. However, after launching, it was in a state of concealment and completely undetectable. Concealment is only lifted when it is close to the shield, at which point strong magical fluctuations are revealed, leaving little reaction time for anti-aircraft fire.

This terrifying weapon will first blast a hole in the shield, and the tonnage of projectiles will easily penetrate two layers of armor, blasting a large area of the battleship to pieces.

Fortunately, this weapon is too bulky, and if fired too far away, it will miss or miss the vital point, and the Red Demon Battleship will generally only fire when it is very close to each other. In addition, if the guards are well trained, they will catch the target at the moment of disarming, mobilize the shield to enhance protection, and destroy it with anti-aircraft fire. And Prince Phillips's ship, the crew is naturally carefully selected.

"Three!?"

Badengaum shouted: "No, there should be a ......"

Although the Red Dragon Prince did not have the opportunity to command the battleship, he had painstakingly studied the battle records of the Battle of the Khante Sky Reef and mastered a lot of the battle rules of the Red Devils.

Badengorm wants to shout, the Red Devil fires torpedoes, and it is always an even number!

Before he could finish shouting, the battleship shook again, this time far more than before, and he was shocked to the point that his head hit the ceiling.

"The front main gun is completely destroyed!"

"Shield output dropped by a third!"

"Magic Furnace and Flying Furnace...... Intact!"

The reports sent by various departments caused silence in the bridge, and the crew, staff, and commander fell to pieces, and their hearts were smashed with a heavy hammer.

The battleship, which was originally as elegant as a swan, was now completely broken from the swan's neck to the front half of the head, and the spherical shield that contracted due to the decrease in output power was poked out, and fell into the terrifying storm.

Phillips decisively gave the order: "Retreat!"

Badengaume fell from the ceiling and stood firmly on the sloping floor like a tumbler.

He is still making a final effort: "While turning, you can bombard the floating land with the rear main gun!"

Phillips looked at him with hatred, and his tone became cold: "Broken floating land, do I still have a reason to lead the fleet?"

The battleship shook again, much more slightly, and it was an attack by Mjolnir and missiles in general.

Badengolm didn't stand still this time and got to his knees.

He braced his body with his arms, his head bowed deeply, and he didn't say anything.
