035 A cannon rang out in Tokyo Bay
When the award ceremony began, Roy blessed himself with a "Detection Magic" spell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Although this prophecy spell is only a zero-ring trick, it can still play a big role if used properly.
Roy's eyes were blessed by the spell, and he concentrated his energy, and the whole world suddenly changed. All individuals, whether human or animal, as long as they have magical power, then the magical aura they emit will be seen by Roy.
Roy looked at the shipwives who were lining up to receive the award and receiving the cheers of the crowd.
In the entire team, almost all of them emitted a pure white and golden glow of magic aura, which was exactly the appearance of their condensation of the power of positive faith as the guardians and spiritual totems of the human race.
There is just one exception.
That is, on behalf of Rudolph's fleet, the battlecruiser Scharnhotes, who came to the stage to receive the award for second place.
The kind of positive magical aura emanating from her body was far less intense than that of other ship girls. And if you look closely, you will find that the pure white gold is mixed with black energy that spreads and grows like a dead branch.
Roy is very familiar with this black, which is the black chaotic energy that belongs to the evil god Cthulhu.
"It's not just ordinary humans, even the ship's mother has been polluted?!"
Royco was not at all pleased with the discovery.
At the end of the competition, as champions, several of Roy's shipwives immediately became the darlings of the media, and interviews with various TV magazines and newspapers and invitations to programs followed.
In order to gather more power of faith, Roy can only work hard for the girls. When the big deal was over, he made a delicious meal for them.
Because of the media, Roy did not return to the Shanghai Governor's Palace, but stayed in Tokyo temporarily.
The other participating admirals, with the exception of those stationed in Japan, set sail back to their respective anchorages. Rudolph is no exception.
This surprised Loy, who had been on guard. The other party actually left quietly.
With the craze brought about by the championship of the Artillery Tournament, Roy's condensed faith power has risen all the way, finally raising his mage level to level 4 (12%).
On the very night that Roy became a Level 4 mage, he got an important piece of news.
"Admiral, Saratoga sent back a report that she saw a man come out of that room and set off in the direction of the port of Tokyo." Lexington immediately informed Roy of the news from his sister.
Ever since Scharnhorst sent him a note for unknown reasons, Roy has been keeping a close eye on Rudolph's accommodation.
That guy didn't live in the Admiralty's hospitality residence, but found a residence in Saitama Prefecture on his own.
After the artillery competition, Roy told Director Li and Priest Zhou about his unusual situation at the award ceremony, Scharnhorst.
In order to prepare for a possible deep-sea attack, they also came to Tokyo.
It's just that the ship girl was polluted by black chaos energy, which is really incredible, unheard of, and extremely sensitive, not 100% sure, and can't act rashly. Therefore, after Rudolph left Japan with the fleet, the Special Investigation Office withdrew its personnel. Some investigators even wondered if Roy was lying about the information in order to attack his opponents.
Roy can only rely on his own strength to carry out surveillance.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and the other party finally started to act.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Scharnhorst dressed in a ship's uniform and came to the entrance of the port of Tokyo.
When the guard saw her, he immediately stepped forward: "Miss, please report your military ID." β
"BC87902, the battlecruiser Scharnhorst, subordinate to Admiral Rudolf von Ludwig of Palau Pot."
The guard held up the instrument and scanned it at Scharnhorst: "Facial recognition, pass." Ship identification, passed. The military ID is correct. Miss Scharnhorst, you can go in. β
Shannhorn nodded.
"That's right." The guard stopped Scharnhorst again, "It's so late, do you still want to sail?" β
"The Admiral ordered me to train at night." Scharnhorst replied mechanically.
Unfortunately, the guards didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, waved their hands, and let her pass.
"You idiot!" Scharnhorst shouted at the guards, "Won't you check the latest departure records?" Shouldn't you doubt that I had sailed back to Palau a few days earlier, and now that I am here again? β
"Who's coming...... Who's going to stop me? β
Scharnhorst was so helpless that she wanted to stop, but her body was already out of control. The dark force in her body was gradually encroaching on her body. Scharnhorst tried his best to resist, but could not do anything.
"Why...... Admiral, why did you betray humanity and hurt me and my sister......"
Scharnhorst's heart was crying helplessly, but his body stiffened and continued to move forward according to the instructions.
She sailed quietly in Tokyo Bay at night, and finally came to the designated place.
"Good shooting boundary, no obstruction...... High explosive reloading, target ...... Yawata Sea Soul Shrine ......" Scharnhorst muttered to himself, and the four twin-mounted improved 38cm serial guns, constantly adjusting their angles, quickly aimed at the target.
Scharnhorst shuddered, making his final struggle. She didn't want to shout the word "fire", she didn't want her naval guns to be used to attack humans instead of what they were supposed to fight the deep sea.
But the will of darkness finally prevailed.
"Open ......"
At this moment, a cannon that shattered the sky suddenly rang out. ScharnhornsAnt saw only a large and brilliant muzzle flame flash in the darkness in the distance, and then he was hit by nine 46-centimeter armor-piercing shells.
"Oh, Musashi's artillery skills are really amazing, you actually hit nine shots, and you can break the target in one fell swoop!" Iowa's night-time sighting equipment accurately captured the Scharnhorst's shot.
"Don't waste time, drag Scharnhorst back. If the slow movement makes her sink, do you still have to ask the submarines to fish for the boat? β
"Got it."
Iowa waved his hand and, together with New Jersey and Yamato, dragged the unconscious Scharnhorst ashore.
The four men had just loaded and unloaded the Scharnhorst's ship, and there was a huge commotion in the distant city of Tokyo and the nearby military port, and gunshots and screams could be faintly heard.
"The Admiral did expect it. The Deep Sea did not attack during the heavily guarded artillery competition. Instead, wait until the end of the competition and when the vigilance has relaxed. Yamato said as he looked at the distant firelight that reflected the night sky orange.
"Alright, well, I know you adore Lord Admiral. If you have any good words, say it to the Admiral, let's go back quickly, don't let the Admiral wait. Musashi said.
Yamato's ears are hot, and he wants to refute his sister, but he doesn't know how to say it.
The first shot of the attack, which was supposed to be fired by Scharnhorst, was replaced by Musashi. However, the sound of the cannon in the night of Tokyo Bay was like a horn, kicking off the attack on Tokyo by the deep sea.
Although there was chaos outside, Roy was not worried.
Because the biggest target of the deep sea, the Hachiman Sea Soul Shrine, because his intervention has ensured peace. If Musashi hadn't broken Scharnhorst in time, those eight 38-centimeter high-explosive shells would have been enough to turn the entire shrine into a sea of fire.
You must know that in the Hachiman Sea Soul Shrine, hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers who died in the fierce battle with the deep sea in the past hundred years, more than 700 ship girls, and more than 90 admirals are enshrined. If this shrine were destroyed, it would not only be a huge blow to the morale of the human army and civilians, but it would also greatly weaken the power of faith, and the loss would be immeasurable.
The badly injured Scharnhorst quickly recovered after being soaked in a quick repair solution. However, she did not wake up and remained in a coma.
Roy, whose eyes were shrouded in magical aura, carefully observed Scharnhorst lying on the bed.
In this girl's body, there is a war going on that no one else can see.
The white glow that represents the front, besieged by the black fog that represents evil, is retreating step by step, gradually entering a dead end. If there is no external force to intervene, I am afraid that in a few hours, this shipwreck will be completely swallowed by the darkness and degenerate into a deep-sea habitat ship.
"Time is running out. Since Scharnhorst is in such a state, then her companions, those Rudolph's shipwives, are probably not much better. They have to be rescued together. β
Pulling back from the others, Roy cleared his throat, chanted a spell in the dragon language, and began to cast a two-ring prophecy spell he had learned not long agoβDetect Thoughts.
The effect of this spell is that when the caster is focused, they are able to know the target's superficial thoughts.
It is impossible to know the secrets that lie deep inside, but in times of emergency, it is very useful.
After the spell took effect, an evil bloodthirsty, as if to destroy everything, surged like a tsunami, causing Roy to have a splitting headache and suddenly fall to the ground.
"Admiral, are you alright?" Cong Yun heard the noise and immediately ran in.
Roy shook his head, stood up and said, "It's nothing, quick, I have to go and inform Director Li of the Special Investigation Division and the Sea God Cult." β
Although Scharnhorst, who was controlled by the chaotic dark energy, made Roy suffer a lot. But fortunately, she was always thinking about her companions, so it was easy for Roy to know where the other shipwives were, and also knew the ins and outs of the matter.
Before participating in the artillery competition, Rudolph, who was far away in Palau Bodi, was lured by the deep divers and corrupted because of the negative emotions in his heart and the lack of strong will.
Because of the special and close spiritual connection between the Admiral and the Ship Lady, the fallen Rudolph easily let the dark chaos energy erode the Ship Lady under his command.
Moreover, Rudolph, who has fallen into a minion of Cthulhu, has also gained a special spell-like ability that can mask the dark aura emitted by the deep-sea habitat ship.
