Float by board brought the crew back to the battleship, and they went to their positions in the red-flashing passage with the siren ringing.

Bridge personnel, information personnel, engineering personnel, main and auxiliary gunners, and protection system operators all have their own passages that are not crowded with each other. Everyone has done several drills in the virtual system, and even if they only spend ten days on this battleship, they can be as skilled as a veteran.

The problem is that no one has practiced the subject of "emergency switching to combat state in a group bathing state", so there are still a lot of minor problems.

Whether it was a human, a half-elf, a gray elf, a halfling, a dwarf, whether it was round ears or pointed ears, whether it was a man or a woman, everyone was wet and in a hurry to run to the battle position, and many of them slipped and wrestled under their feet. The kobolds and sporadic werewolves couldn't help their natural instincts, and directly shook their fur in the passage and threw out water droplets in the sky.

Of course, the biggest situation is that after each is in place, the men's shorts and the women's bikinis are still covered with crystal splashes, and the bloody and generous fighting atmosphere is of course destroyed.

"These guys ......"

On the bridge of the third ship, he saw that all posts were dressed in cool clothes, and the political commissar was so angry that his eyes erupted.

reminded: "Fight is important, don't make the old way, think that war is to die in gorgeous clothes." ”

The political commissar quickly reflected in his heart, as a templar born in the old days, he did have an obsession in this regard.

I saw Dekker sitting in the captain's seat in big pants, showing off his strong muscles, the dark black scar under the collarbone was extremely eye-catching, the water was still dripping on the floor, and the corners of the political commissar's eyes and mouth twitched at the same time.

The political commissar roared: "The others don't have time to clean up, you can easily put on the inner armor, is this deliberate? This is not just a matter of military appearance, you have to pay attention to protection when the battle starts!"

glanced at the political commissar who had already put on the inner protective suit of the magic guide armament and the big-brimmed hat, and looked very formal, and sighed, "It's good to have you remind everyone, I have to take care of those guys who don't have time to take care of it at all, and let them know that I am the same." ”

The chief of staff couldn't help but say, "You are distorting and leading by example!"

The battleship shook, and when seen from the virtual porthole, the surrounding scene was covered with a layer of lattice-like ripples, which was the scene of the shield fully open. The political commissar didn't have time to count down, so he hurriedly connected to the command system and was busy with his own business.

The killer whale, which is more than 100 meters long, hovered over the surface of the lake, and the shield was opened in a hurry, directly slapping a circle of waves tens of meters high. In the stubby and short wing compartment like a fish's fin in the middle of the hull, there are four jet engines on the left and right, and the four on the tail spew out strong air currents together, and with the floating engines, the 4,000-ton battleship is driven to pull out of the diagonal line and take off rapidly.

The Jet Engine of the Red Alliance Battleship has been upgraded to the combined mode of a primary turboblower and a ramjet, and the speed of the battleship is far faster than that of the Imperial Battleship at the same weight. But at the same speed, the maneuverability is not as good as that of the Imperial warship. After all, the opponent uses a flying furnace and does not need to drive the battleship by jetting air.

The flight units of the two sides take different technical routes, and the differences are not only in speed and maneuverability.

The flying furnace of the imperial battleship consumes more mana, and the source of mana is the elemental furnace, and the battleship consumes a lot of magic crystals for the elemental core crystal and the magic crystal that activates the elemental furnace, and the self-sustaining power is completely unsightly compared to the Red Alliance battleship with the node furnace, and the adaptability to the complex environment is also very poor.

However, the Empire battleship's Elemental Furnace output power is stronger than that of the Red Alliance battleship, which can support a larger hull and more pure magic weapons, and is more luxurious enough to directly use the Flying Furnace to drive the battleship, instead of using a floating furnace and jet engine like the Red Alliance.

Red Union also did a comparative experiment of changing the maneuver of fighters and warships to flying furnaces, and found that it could not maintain the original speed, but also because the flying furnace took up more mana output, reducing the performance of shields, detection and other systems, so they had to abandon this route. Only some technical reserves are retained, and we will wait for the Void Lattice Engine to mature before researching it.

Looking at the enemy ship that was nearly 10 kilometers away and piercing the storm from above, ordered: "The battleship flips 90 degrees and accelerates to approach! The main guns and missiles are fully fired!"

The political commissar lifted his lips, but did not speak, and the battleship Void Spirit 18309 expressed his concerns: "This does not conform to standard combat procedures, neither can it be used in echelons, nor is the battlefield situation urgent enough to enter close combat." ”

"If the opponent is an ethereal spirit like you, of course I won't do it," Dekker said, "but the opponent is a human being, and I am also a human being, and there are too many considerations between people that go beyond the battle itself." ”

18309 retorted: "The warships of the Dawning Empire do not have an ethereal spirit like me, and I can continue to learn and grow, and I am not the kind of low-level tower spirit who only does things according to the set procedures. ”

It also questioned: "The order has been complied with, but I ask the captain to give reasons so that I can confirm that you do not put your personal preferences above the safety of the battleship and the officers and men, and that your combat record as a pilot has a similar tendency." ”

The chief of staff and the political commissar all turned their faces away to eat and laugh, the Red Alliance's battleship Ethereal Spirit is indeed a growth type, but it is still a tabula rasa, very mechanical and ...... Lovely.

Dekker scratched his head: "That's why I hate the ethereal designer the most, the ethereal spirit has to be different from the appearance of humans, and it turns out that he still looks like an apprentice when he speaks." ”

He sighed and spread his hands: "The battle in front of us is not a simple question of victory or defeat, but whether we can keep this floating land." Even if we sink the enemy ship, if the floating land is blown to pieces, it will be a failure, understand?"

The mechanical girl's avatar on the command platform flashed purple light for a while, and said in a sudden tone: "So, captain, you are pressing the opponent's firing range and blocking the enemy ship's attack on the floating land?"

rolled his eyes, and the chief of staff coughed and took over the conversation, he had to help focus on the decisions related to the battle, instead of teaching the budding ethereal spirit: "18309, the real intention of the captain is actually to scare the enemy and make the other party think that he has been ambushed. It's best to be able to scare it off, and if you can't scare it off, you can catch it off guard, and then that's the factor you mentioned. ”

The ethereal spirit flickered a few more times, nodded and said, "Fraud and psychological oppression are very important means in the battle between people, learned. ”

The political commissar smiled bitterly: ", I can't imagine what our 18309 will grow in the future." ”

18309 emphasized very seriously: "A deep understanding of myself and the limits of the captain's ability, and familiarity with the captain's command style, on this basis, can I talk about my own personality, which is the fundamental code of the ship's spirit." ”

finally couldn't help but shout: "It's so uncute!"

When the man-machine leadership team ran into each other, the killer whale had already turned the ship sideways. The main guns and silos were distributed from top to bottom to left and right, and the eight barrels pointed diagonally into the sky, firing the first wave of artillery fire at extremely short intervals. Immediately after that, dozens of missiles were visible to the naked eye, as well as several torpedoes invisible to the naked eye.

Inside the battleship, from the bridge to the turret, the radar station, the shield system and the anti-aircraft gun emplacement, each personnel compartment is adjusted by the universal wheel with the side rotation of the battleship. Even if the battleship was lying flat, the personnel remained upright.

This design implements the concept of emphasizing environmental adaptability of the Red Union, and the warship has a more flexible attitude and the personnel are more adaptable. This complicates the structure of the battleship, and the cost is worth it.

The killer whale does not have to maneuver to a certain height, nor does it have to adjust the direction to the side to meet the enemy, but simply flips the hull of the ship 90 degrees to achieve omnidirectional firepower, pouring the most intense fire at the first time.

"Enemy Attack ——!"

"The anti-aircraft artillery positions in the 41st District are all destroyed!"

"The front flying boat cabin is damaged!"

"Ray Cannon No. 1 is completely damaged!"

The bridge of the "Marquis de Christian" was in chaos, looking at the portholes filled with orange and lilac flames, and feeling the violent vibration of the battleship, Phillips, the crown prince of Candas, the vice marshal of the Dawning Empire's floating fleet, clicked and smashed the armrest of the command seat.

He screamed in horror: "It's a trap ——!"

The burly man next to him, bareheaded and wearing an iron mask on half of his face, shouted in a high-spirited tone: "No! It's a miracle!"

Prince Phillips pouted and nodded, "Yes, yes, you are right!"

"Finn is really a round ball, and it can fly directly from the north of East Fein to the north of West Fein!"

"This enemy ship may only have flown from the White Bird Kingdom!"

"We succeeded, Badengaom!"

The battleship continued to tremble, and Phillips's voice became sharp again: "But this is still a trap! We are being attacked by a whole fleet!"

Badengaum snorted, "It's a whole fleet, we're already finished." ”

The Red Dragon Prince's gaze seemed to penetrate the blazing flames, and he pursed the corners of his lips and said, "It's not a trap, it's just a coincidence. They just wanted to scare us off, a killer whale. ”

Before Phillips could speak, the aides shouted.

"Orca whales!? we can't beat them, retreat quickly!"

"So far, in all the battles of single-ship duels, the killer whales have not been defeated! In the battle three days ago, one Marquis-class and three Earl-class, as well as several Viscount-class, did not leave two killer whales behind!"

"Now that we have confirmed that we can penetrate the end of the world to Sifern, our mission has been accomplished, and there is no need to fight here!"

"This is the prince's flagship, it's already very risky to explore the path with the flagship, and you have to do a useless battle here, what are your intentions?"

Phillips looked at Badengaohm, who tried his best to suppress the anger and patiently persuaded: "The Christian has been transformed, the firepower has been upgraded to the duke level, and the defense has been strengthened a lot. Even if you can't destroy your opponent, you can hold out until reinforcements arrive. ”

"The reinforcements are just outside the passage, only two or three hours away from us, as long as we hold on, this floating land is ours. ”

"Phillips, just to make sure that our inference is not a credit to us, the Red Devil has already found out. ”

"Only by defeating them, taking this only passage that can penetrate the storm, and capturing this floating land large enough to hold a fleet, will we be able to secure a separate fleet, you know. ”

Phillips hesitated, his staff still shouting.

"We have reinforcements, won't the Red Devils have, and what if the Red Devil's reinforcements arrive first?"

"One step forward is a cautious temptation, two steps is a bold adventure, and three steps is a crazy gamble!"

"Badengaohm, you're gambling with Your Highness!"

"Isn't it okay to retreat first, gather reinforcements and then attack in?"

Badengorm didn't argue with the staff, but just looked at Phillips, whose face changed uncertainly, and finally raised his palm resolutely to stop the staff murmur.

Phillips said: "I believe in you, Badengaom, we ...... Fight!"

Badengaum secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, his heart was filled with a thick sourness.

The dignified red dragon prince now has to rely on the prince of a small human country in order to continue his revenge cause.

This era is really crazy, so ah, if you don't eliminate the Red Devil as soon as possible, restore order, and return to tradition, Finn is really going to be finished.

After Empress Dawn turned from a mortal to a goddess clone four years ago, the situation of the red dragon has deteriorated.

The doppelganger no longer needs a dragon's personal guard, and the dragon's performance in the war proves that it is no longer suitable for the new era.

Indeed, in the Holy Will Empire and the Red Alliance, the Dragons are still active. However, the former's activity is based on the fact that more dragons are skinned and deboned to enslave their souls, and the dragon armament used by the latter is not something that the Dawning Empire can do.

Even if the Dawning Empire could turn the dragon into a flying boat, the armed dragon did not have much advantage over the battle flying boat, and the floating fleet and legion were unwilling to use the dragon clan anymore, so the dragon clan gradually withdrew from the imperial military realm.

The Silver Dragon Clan won the forgiveness of the Goddess of Order by replacing the patriarch family and sacrificing a number of young dragons. After that, the silver dragon hugged the thighs of the goddess of commerce tighter, even in the previous battle of the god emperor castle, the battle of the silver dragon was openly paddling, and the goddess of order was not easy to hold responsible. Not only because of the protection of the goddess of commerce, but also because of the protection of the goddess of commerce, a part of the silver dragon threw himself into the Red Union, which made the goddess of order have some scruples.

The Red Dragon's side suffered heavy losses in the main plane, and in the Dragon Domain, it also became the key object of care of the "Red Union Dragon Clan Liberation Army", and it was overwhelmed. Now most of the red dragons have returned to the Dragon Domain, and only a few of the red dragons with their own intentions remain in the main plane.

These red dragons are no longer bound by Badengaum, and they will either run to serve as thugs for the Holy See, or they will join the small remote countries of the Storm United Kingdom that lack high-end combat power, and enjoy the glory and wealth.

Badengaum was the only Red Dragon remaining in the Imperial Military Realm, and the path he chose stunned both humans and Red Dragons.

"I will forget my dragon identity and fight the Red Devil to the end with my human form, strength and wisdom!"

The Red Dragon Prince said so, and in order to show his determination, he specifically asked the Red Dragon God to cast the Eternal Transfiguration Technique. This made it impossible for him to turn back into a dragon, and he lost a lot of his strength and lifespan.

It's a pity that his soul hasn't changed after all, and he is still a dragon, which makes him unable to gain absolute trust on both the Holy See and the Empire. He was also the lieutenant commander of the floating fleet, and Phillips, the crown prince of Candas, took him in.

Prince Phillips has the support of the Holy See behind him, and is a role that the Holy See has installed in the Imperial military to compete with nobles and magicians for control. Naturally, he himself was not satisfied with being a puppet of the Holy See, and Badengorm, a marginal character with rich experience in fighting the Red Devils, but also a grudge against the heavens, and being ostracized by other forces, became an excellent candidate for advisory.

This does not mean that Phillips is obedient to Badengaum, but this time the plan he proposed has finally achieved phased results, which will inevitably improve his status at Phillips's side.

From the north of the Ice Sea in East Fein, travel through the end of the world to reach the Ice Sea in West Fein, and attack the Heart of the Silver Moon from the north. This plan obviously subverts the common sense of mortals, and even if it can't win by surprise, it can shorten the journey of the floating fleet by more than half.

Now that it has been proven that the end of the world is penetrable, Finn is indeed a ball. But this was not enough, only by seizing this floating land, allowing the fleet to obtain a stable passage and a safe place to stay, could the plan be implemented into a detachment led by Phillips.

Only at that point can Badengorm obtain the qualifications and opportunity to command one or several warships, and officially embark on the road of revenge against the Red Devil with blood and fire.

There is no way, who makes the legendary dragon completely incompatible in this era, and can only climb up step by step in a human way?

"Fight back! Fight back!"

Since the crown prince had made up his mind, the officers and soldiers naturally calmed down and concentrated on the battle.

However, the crown prince still listened to the additional advice of his staff and asked the warship to maneuver near the passage to ensure that it could retreat as soon as possible.

Badengorm frowned, resisting the urge to continue speaking to Phillips and asking for an all-out fight.

Be patient, this is the most painful lesson Badengolm has learned in his battle with the Red Devils.

A terrifying hammer of Thor, missiles trailing a faint tail of smoke created large crystals on the shield. Demonic steel bullet cores were shot out of the crystal, tearing through the battleship's armor, blasting apart the flesh and blood fragments, and washing through outer space.

Even if it is covered with a steel plate that demonizes magic effects such as advanced tenacity, spatial deflection, and protective kinetic energy, it can't stop the penetrating attack of the Red Devil's Hammer magic cannon. Therefore, the current Imperial warships have adopted the protection strategy of "weakening layer by layer and limiting damage".

Shields, also known as protective enchantments, can be focused on key areas to temporarily and dynamically increase defense.

The outer armor does not require the core to be completely blocked, but it must cause a fragmentation effect of the core, so that it does not have enough energy to continue penetrating the inner armor.

The inner and outer layers of the battleship are divided into several armored areas, and each compartment is separated by demonic armor to ensure that the fragmentation effect of a single bullet core only affects one compartment and does not spread to other areas.

To put it bluntly, the compartments of the outer layer of the battleship, such as anti-aircraft gun emplacements, mechanical components and secondary systems, are also the components of the battleship's armor. At the cost of their own destruction, they were able to protect the core parts of the chain of command, the main gun, the mana, and the flying furnace.

Thanks to the joint efforts of designers and magicians, this protective strategy has also developed corresponding features. The outer compartments are designed to be repaired quickly, and the dead and wounded can only be replenished by deploying more soldiers inside the battleship.

This Marquis-class floating ship is 160 meters long, with a maximum width and height of nearly 40 meters, and a pair of wide wings stretching out at the back of the ship, shaped like a swan with wings spread. The full load weighed 7,000 tons, carrying nearly 800 officers and soldiers, as well as hundreds of low-level magic golems who could do simple physical work.

The reason why Prince Phillips made up his mind was probably that all the damage was limited to the outer cabin, proving that the other party did not have the ability to inflict heavy damage or even destroy himself in a short period of time.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the boiling flame outside the porthole to weaken a lot, and I vaguely saw the Flame Forbidden Spell that returned fire exploding a large area of shattered ripples on the enemy ship. The hull of the enemy ship trembled in pain, and large strands of debris erupted from the damage.

Badengaum couldn't help but wave his arms and shout: "Rush up! The ship is facing the enemy! Forbidden spell cannon salvo!"

The staff all looked at him with the eyes of a madman, and Phillips coughed and said, "Good! Keep this pace, the advantage is on our side!"

Badengor clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, using all his strength to keep himself from letting out a dragon's roar.

He regretted that he couldn't turn into a dragon......
