Chapter 606: Tactical Victory, Strategic Defeat
When the protagonist appears, he is always very powerful and gorgeous. Stepping on colorful auspicious clouds in the sky or something is weakly exploded, not only will it not play any role in deterring the enemy, but it will attract the onlookers below to shout a lot of nonsensical lines such as "wife, come out to see the gods"; To sum up, it is not enough to rely on these façade skills alone, and there must be a deeper connotation to bring out the greatness of the protagonist.
So there are the exclusive lines of the protagonist who are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they are the kind that can make people think of who and who as soon as they say it.
But when you use the posture of self-reporting to say your own exclusive lines, you also have to look at the occasion, and if you make a mistake, it will only backfire. For example, before the girls who "destroy you on behalf of the moon" arrived, they pointed at the prey that was wreaking havoc on the street with extremely chic movements and shouted, "There is only one truth", then the truth is that this bear child will be slapped away by the embarrassed monster in the next second, and there is nothing to say.
Alicia hadn't thought of any of her own lines, but her sweet voice was as famous as the lower limit of the Honkai Temperance, and everyone would recognize her the moment they heard it.
Not to mention......
"Haha, come hit me, hit me. You guys, who soak in the sea every day and don't see the sun all day long, and the cabin is full of the fishy smell of some kind of sticky yellow-white thing, and you can tell at a glance that you are inferior to pigs and dogs who are so dissatisfied that they can't even fight well, and if you have the ability, you can beat me down from the sky? ”
While shouting this line at the loudspeaker's maximum volume, the plane swept over the vortex sea that had just undergone the baptism of the main gun. There is no other girl in the whole of Drowlivan who can do such a shocking act, except for Alicia.
"That, that, Her Majesty. Francis's faint voice suddenly came over the communicator.
"What's the matter, I'm on my head. It's not too urgent to look at the situation yourself. ”
"Nope. I just wanted to remind you that your communicator is still on, and the whole fleet heard those words just now......"
Hearing this, Alicia bared her little tiger teeth and smacked her lips and replied, "If you hear it, you can hear it, anyway, I don't care." Or are you expecting me to scrambled to turn off the communicator and other light novels while exclaiming, 'Nasty, people won't be able to get married now?'
"None of us had expected anything that would have been as impossible as the sun shining over the bay of wailing tomorrow——!!" Francis roared frantically over the communicator, "shouting those lines on the public channel, do you dare to lower your limit!?"
"Well. Don't worry about the little things. Alicia casually pulled the joystick and let the mech crawl into the air under the joy of countless beams of light, and said, "Ama, you take the others to protect the Roland fleet. Icarus and I will leave all the mess behind. Francis, is the enemy offensive continuing in the other two directions?"
There was a moment of silence in the communicator, as if Francis was checking the battle with his subordinates. It wasn't long before his voice rang out again: "Yes, Your Majesty. The attacks in the middle and on the right continued. However, there is already a gradual weakening trend. Presumably, the other party has no remaining combat power. But we're also running out of it. ”
Alicia opened her mouth and was about to speak, but was stunned to find that the enemy forces that were pursuing Roland's fleet below suddenly stopped advancing, and dived until the depth beyond the reach of the fire phoenix's attack, and then turned around and retreated—during the time they were diving, the Roland fleet had successfully broken out of the battle circle, and if they pursued again, they would only be entangled by the coalition reinforcements that came in a hurry, and then they would be completely annihilated.
In the distance, the Chimera and the undead dragons, who were scurrying under the overwhelming barrage of Icarus, also turned around and fled the battlefield as if they had received some kind of instruction.
Alysia stopped the Queen of the Sky from trying to pursue the enemy, and led the battered Roland fleet back to base.
The left flank is the direction of the enemy's main attack. If you retreat on the left. In addition, the two-way attack naturally won't last long.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, Francis sent a report that "the enemy forces have completely withdrawn from the war zone."
——————————————————I am the dividing line of the temporary truce——————————————————
When Alicia handed over an entire fleet that would not be strange to sink at any time to the head of logistics, who was dizzy and almost vomited blood, and took Akatsuya and Icarus to the harbor dedicated to the deep sea dragons at the bottom of the base. Randy was already waiting there.
Of course, this silent dead fish-faced man waiting for him will definitely not be the chattering Alicia who will be lively wherever she goes. The two of them are completely incompatible.
After seeing little Lori coming over, Randy immediately saluted her respectfully, "Your Majesty." ”
Waving at the other party casually, Alicia took out a three-seater sofa from the bracelet and beckoned her two bound girls to sit down, turned her head to the handsome silver-haired guy standing next to her with a calm face and stared silently for a long time, decisively took out a bench and handed it to him: "Sit?"
What do you think this is in reply to a post!?
Cumber, who was licking the lollipop, saw the muscles on Randy's face jump twice.
Ignoring Randy, who was embarrassed to look at the cheap bench next to her, Alicia lazily leaned back on the sofa and paralyzed most of her body without an image, saying, "Oops, I didn't expect to be so tired when I was carried and hurried." Especially your breasts, it makes me so uncomfortable. Icarus. It doesn't look like you're a good pillow. ”
Hurry up and apologize to the giant R controllers all over the world!
"Master, I'm not a pillow in the first place. The Queen of the Sky corrected pertinently.
"Tsk, if there is no complaining service nearby, the atmosphere is really not warm. If Sophia had been here, she would have taken a fan. Alicia muttered with a slight annoyance on her face, gently stirring her bangs on her forehead with her slender index finger. "Forget it, it's not the time to play everyday anyway. Let's wait for Jura to come back. ”
The return of the deep-sea dragon to Hong Kong did not take much time. This out-of-spec body, capable of soaring underwater like a fighter, has become a nightmare for the enemy in the middle today, with a staggering 37 ships sunk, damaged, frozen, and captured by it, and this is the result of the Deep Sea Dragon's single-handedly breaking into enemy lines without any support.
When fighting against it, the sailors of the Dark Empire could clearly feel that the weapons of the two sides were not of the same level at all, and if it weren't for the brainwashing of the officers and soldiers, it is estimated that they would have collapsed long ago. Although the Dark Empire's fleet tried to defeat the Deep Sea Dragons with great damage, the only result was to deplete the energy of the opponent's magic crystal, and Yura had to return to the base to resupply.
Compared to the relatively easy middle, the situation on the right side is a bit speechless. Francis sent the Imrith and part of the battleship to the right, which was under pressure at the time, before the Roland fleet on the left was crippled. As a result, after discovering this brand-new air battleship, the enemy immediately sent out air units to cooperate with the attack as if they had been stimulated, apparently intending to capture it - the result can be imagined. As Imrith's personal guard, how could a handsome guy with unruly black wings allow the other party to be presumptuous near the battleship named after Little Is? Since the main force was on the left flank, there were no high-level creatures in the enemy's air force here, and they were soon beaten by fallen angels and dragons and fled in all directions.
The battle on the sea was much tougher than in the middle. If it weren't for the timely support of the Imrith, I am afraid that it would have completely collapsed.
At the same time, it also shows what an important role the Deep Sea Dragon has played in today's battle. So when the delicate girl with long light blond hair had just stepped down the gangway with the blue mech that had risen and stopped in the harbor. Alicia immediately took the initiative to greet her, ready to thank her for her fight.
Then Randy strode from the side to the front.
Seeing that Yura's pale cheeks of her lover instantly appeared a blush and a little excited, the girl also quickened her pace, and then the two hugged tightly in front of everyone. However, apart from hugging, they didn't have any other exciting flashbang-like movements, just whispering to each other.
"Randy, I'm back. ”
"Well, welcome back. How does it feel?"
"I'm scared. But the thought of you in the base behind me suddenly makes the mech more agile and swift. ”
"Yes. Anyway, you're fine. ”
Alicia took a few steps forward, turned her face sideways, glanced at the side, scratched her scalp, and coughed, "What." I'm sorry to interrupt your warm post-war reunion. But before you two show off their flashbangs, can we think about the feelings of the soy sauce party in our neighborhood?"
When have you ever considered the feelings of others when you showed benefits to Ilya!?
In the funny and bantering eyes of everyone. Yura, whose face was flushed, suddenly jumped out of Randy's arms with a scream like a bunny, stood beside her lover, lowered her head, and rubbed her skirt hard in embarrassment, letting countless water vapor come out of her head, and fell into an extremely awkward silence.
Complicating two glances at the expressionless Randy, Alicia shook her head and looked at the girl in front of her who was so shy that she couldn't find a hole in the ground and smiled and took the initiative to take her hand and patted it, "Well, anyway, thank you for your hard work, Yura." Today, our front has not collapsed, all thanks to you. ”
"No, Her Majesty. Jura hurriedly denied it, "You exalted me too much, I didn't do anything. Today's victory is due to everyone's hard work, and it is by no means the credit of me alone. ”
"We actually lost today. Alicia let out a long and helpless sigh and said, "Let's not mention this first, in short, our achievements are obvious to all, so don't be humble anymore." Now let's go to the room and take a shower and rest, tomorrow the enemy attack may be more fierce. ”
Yura nodded solemnly when she heard this. Then accompanied by Randy, he left the small port, which had been converted from a test site. During this time, Francis led Hassan, Jikrem and Dubis in a hurry, and when they were about to leave, they did not say anything, but said goodbye to them after a few pleasantries.
"How. Did you come to comfort your ace?" After Francis led his retinue to him and bowed, Alicia sneered at the corners of her mouth.
"Well, let's just say that. Francis pinched his nose as his good friend and subordinate Jikerem frowned, shrugged his shoulders and relaxed, and said casually, "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to disperse the air warships to support other battlefields, and I wouldn't have been able to hold out for long when the other two roads collapsed." It was thanks to Yura that I was able to repel the enemy's onslaught today. ”
Alicia sighed and stroked her forehead and sat down on the couch again, "Don't be too optimistic, gentlemen. We did not achieve victory today, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we failed. ”
"Why?" said Jikrem, with a look on his face begging for an explanation. "Your Majesty, our losses are indeed heavy, but the enemy has damaged more ships. How can you say that you lost?"
Little Lori showed a surprised expression on the spot: "Ahhh Is the enemy's battle loss rate higher than ours? Can anyone tell me what the hell is happening on the other two battlefields?"
Francis decisively put on a look of a catastrophe with five thunderstorms in the sky, and said embarrassedly: "That's the case. The enemy's submarines were previously loaded with magic crystal cannons that had to surface before they could be fired, so the two sides had a great advantage over the regular surface warships that were bombarded. Later, the enemy was equipped with an energy compression weapon, which allowed them to attack from underwater, but our magic crystal cannon could not hit them, and the battle became quite unfavorable.
Fortunately, not so long ago, the alliance also mastered the relevant technology of this weapon. As a result, the coalition ships were able to hit each other on the surface - and this is the key. Your Majesty, you know. The Dark Empire's submarines are all thin, crispy with shields, while our warships are all heavily armored and thick-armoured, and dragons can knock their teeth out with a single bite......"
"I don't need to go on, I'm unusually—understood. Alicia, who had a beautiful and naughty golden hair with black lines and cold sweat on her head, raised her hand with a smile and waved, "In other words, the coalition forces take turns using unredressed warships as meat shields and bait, luring out enemy ships, and then counterattacking by ships hidden in the back row and equipped with energy compression weapons, right? ”
I saw that Dibes, who was standing at the end of the line and had never spoken, couldn't help but slanted his gaze, stretched out his index finger, and scratched his face embarrassedly.
"Is it you!?" Little Lori suddenly jumped up from the sofa, took out a paper fan, and smashed it on the bridge of the blue-haired youth's nose.
"Uh, why didn't I receive a reward but a paper fan!?" Dibes said aggrievedly as he touched the place where he had been smashed. "Or am I doing something wrong?"
Alicia brushed her hair and calmed down, "No, Dibes." You're doing it right. Sorry, I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but I couldn't. Then gentlemen, please listen to my explanation of why today's battle counts as a loss. So, do you need me to prepare a few benches for you before that?"
With an extremely serious expression, he was about to listen carefully, and the three handsome guys immediately rolled all over the ground together.
"The atmosphere is already lively, Ellie. Amatsuya nodded her head and said very seriously.
Ignoring the little black dragon's complaints, Elysia took out the bench for the handsome guys in front of her, and waited for them all to sit down before she clenched her fists and coughed vigorously on the edge of her mouth: "Let's start talking about the topic." I have to admit that Francis, and the rest of you, did a great job today. Although I lost a few bases, they didn't matter, and I am proud of you from the bottom of my heart to be able to achieve a record that caused the enemy to pay more losses despite the surprise attack of the opponent and the backward technology of most of the warships. I will remember your merits, and I will be rewarded accordingly in the future.
However, as you can tell, the Dark Empire is not going all out today. The troops on the left, who were the enemy's main attackers, were more than capable of breaking through the line with a devastating force, but they chose to retreat in order to preserve their strength in the face of the full-screen attack that suddenly incurred me and Icarus, thus allowing the coalition forces to escape.
On the other hand, almost all of its combat power has been mobilized here—coalition fleets, air warships, deep-sea dragons, and Icarus and Icarus, who hurried to the rescue. In other words, we exposed all our cards on the first day of the campaign, and all we gained was a large number of enemy cannon fodder submarines and air miscellaneous troops. As for the size of the enemy's army, whether they still have any powerful weapons or magical beasts that they have not used, and whether there are special forces hidden in other directions, there is no information. What does that mean, I think you know very well, right?"
Putting aside her sweaty subordinates, Alicia slowly raised her head, her eyes as deep as if she could see through the base and directly into the sky, and muttered, "It seems that the weather will be worse tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
