Several shells landed about fifty meters in front of the battleship, setting off towering columns of water.

The height of this column of water has even exceeded the highest point of the battleship's mast.

The column of water maintained its gravity and returned to the sea, but there was still some mist that drifted away on the battleship with the wind.

There was also a layer of water stains on the portholes, but the windshield wipers quickly cut through the snaking splashes on the portholes.

"The distance between us and the sirens is getting closer, and we ...... continue like this."

In the armored conning tower of the heavy cruiser, a black-haired girl in a simple sailor's suit looked through the narrow porthole at the water columns rising from time to time around the battleship, and her delicate but slightly delicate face was filled with indelible worries.

At this point, the battleship shifted to one side, and then the main guns fired another salvo, and the shock wave from the eight 203mm guns made the porthole of the bridge vibrate slightly, and the glass of water on the table also caused irregular ripples with the vibration.

The inertia of the battleship's turn and the vibration of the shelling caused the girl to retract her gaze from the porthole.

Her gaze turned to another being who was also inside the conning tower.

This is a girl who looks much more "mature" than a black-haired girl.、It can already be classified as a royal sister level girl.。

She has a surprisingly long silver hair, long hair with short ponytails tied on both sides, and her bangs have a very eye-catching red highlights, and a red, black, and gray military-style dress wraps around her supermodel-level body, and her brown eyes add an indescribable charm to her appearance.

But at this time, the black-haired girl had no time to appreciate this faintly better appearance than her.

She is now more concerned with the more important matters of life and death.

"Eugen, the main fleet...... How far is it going? ”

The girl asked.

The silver-haired girl known as Eugen put her finger to her lips and pondered for a moment before replying, "Before the Sirens blocked communications, the main fleet was still two hundred nautical miles away from us. ”

After hearing this, the girl's face became even more worried.

The main fleet still had two hundred nautical miles to go, and even if they sailed at full speed, it would take six or seven hours later.

And can this small fleet of his own hold out for so long?

As if to see the girl's anxiety, the silver-haired girl, or Eugen, cast her gaze across the thick bulkhead in the direction of the Siren fleet, and smiled a little foolishly: "It's not enough to sink me." ”

Hearing her say this, the black-haired girl didn't say much, and she came to the porthole again.

"What about the other ships?"

"Miss Helena has only suffered some minor injuries, but she wants you to know that she is fine, don't worry too much about her, and as for Yang Yan and Xue Feng, they are also intact."

Eugen's smile seemed to be a little softer when she spoke to the black-haired girl, and she made a harmless joke: "Hehe, maybe it's because we're attracting the main siren firepower." ”

"Helena always ...... like that"

The dark-haired girl pursed her lips that were somewhat dry.

She said no more.

The distance between his own fleet and the Siren's fleet was only about five nautical miles.

This is already a very dangerous level for naval warfare.

Even though the current mode of retreat and chase makes the approach rate of the sirens very low, the sirens can rush towards the position of their fleet at the highest speed without changing the course, while their own side needs to constantly change the route and speed to avoid the siren's artillery attack and complete the counterattack by the way.

In this way, the distance between the two sides will inevitably get closer and closer.

About twenty minutes have passed since now, and the sirens have come a lot closer.

Although she knew that the main fleet should still be far away, the black-haired girl still hoped that they would come faster.

Otherwise, I guess I will have to become one of the fallen commanders.

And while she was thinking about these things in a state of confusion, Eugen suddenly showed a mixture of surprise and stunned expression.

At the same time, she quickly stood up from the edge of the table.

The obvious action brought the brunette girl back from her thoughts, and her eyes widened as she watched Eugen's expression.

Eugen was a girl with few expressions, and she didn't even smile much, and the sight of her expression was obviously an eye-opener for the brunette girl - if it weren't for the fact that she was now in the tense moment of being chased by the Sirens, she would have wanted to pick up her camera and capture this scene as a souvenir.

"What's wrong?"

"Yes, there's a battleship?!"

"What warships, aren't all four warships in our fleet still there?"

"It's not...... Commander, I mean in the direction we are heading, there is a battleship! ”

Eugen pointed to the sea level in front of him: "That's right, it's indeed a battleship, it has just appeared in my direct observation range, and she is aiming at our side......"

The black-haired girl hurriedly walked to the porthole and picked up the binoculars, but she was stopped by Eugen: "I can't see it here, Commander." ”

The girl suddenly understood, and she, accompanied by Eugen, left the armored bridge, walked briskly up the ladder to the top lookout of the tower mast, and used her binoculars to observe the direction Eugen had spoken.

And now, she also saw what Eugen said.

A battleship on the side of the war, sailing slowly.

Although it was far away, you could still see the barrels of the battleship.

The black-haired girl was a little shocked: "It's really a battleship!" ”

"Uh-huh, and it should be a battlecruiser." Eugen made a judgment: "I observe, that battleship is not bad, it should have a displacement of close to 30,000 tons, and the Haruna of our main fleet is a battleship of the same magnitude, and if you just look at the length, the battleship is already close to the length of Celestial City, just ......"

After all, the black-haired girl was mortal with the naked eye, and she couldn't see more with the telescope, so since Eugen sensed more specific information, she hurriedly asked, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that her armament is not as strong as I imagined, it should only be the same 203mm naval gun as me."

"Regardless of the performance of this battleship......"

The black-haired girl interrupted Eugen's thoughts: "What is the identity of the other party?" ”

Eugen shook his head: "I can't see it, there are no flags, there are no markings - but the ship doesn't seem to be in the shape she's supposed to be." ”

"What does this mean ......?"

"There are obvious signs of damage on the surface of this battleship, and it looks like it has experienced a lot of fighting." Eugen shook his head: "Didn't anyone repair her?" Her commander was truly incompetent. ”

The black-haired girl blinked, then continued to look at the telescope: "So, what is this battleship here for?" ”

"I don't know, she's obviously ready to attack, but ......"

Before Eugen could finish speaking, the black-haired girl looked through the binoculars and saw that the side of the battleship facing this side in the distance suddenly bloomed a series of infrared-black smoke clouds.

"She fired!"

The girl exclaimed.

"That angle, it's not an attack on us......"

Eugen frowned, her gaze turned to the Siren fleet that was still in pursuit in the rear: "More like ......"

"You're saying she's attacking the sirens who are chasing us?!"

"For now, yes."

Eugen nodded.

Something strange.

This is an uninhabited sea, and the nearest port area is thousands of nautical miles away, but now there is a warship that is covered in bruises but still actively attacking the sirens......

Based on these elements, the black-haired girl had some ideas.

She looked at Eugen and said, "Now, Eugen, have you heard of the legend of the ghost ship in the depths of the ocean, which is circulating among the commanders?" ”
