Chapter 572: Uninvited
When the alarm sounded, the Krista happened to be in the harbor, so Alicia did not hesitate to board it and join Roland's fleet in formation on the sea. After all, it has only been a week since Lori captured Wailing Bay, and because of its location close to the Western Continent, it is not surprising that the Alliance's reinforcements will be so rapid, but the Dark Empire's counterattack has to be treated with caution because it has to be carried out so quickly.
"Francis, how's it going?" asked Alicia as soon as she stepped onto the bridge.
"Ah, Your Majesty, I'm sorry we don't know the specifics. At present, we only know the location of the other party, and we do not know anything about the number, model, speed, etc. Francis in the captain's seat stood up, shook his head, and sneered, "The enemy fleet was discovered by Her Highness Icarus, you can ask her." β
The alliance did not master the technology of submarine, and there was no relevant detection means, so the Queen of the Sky was given the task of humanoid radar and sonar by Lori. Of course, this is only a special method in a special period before the research freaks of the alliance come up with the corresponding technical equipment, after all, after the battle line is broadened in the future, even Icarus will not be able to appear on several battlefields at the same time to provide reconnaissance and fire support for the coalition forces. It is only right to design, manufacture and equip the fleet with anti-submarine equipment on a large scale.
Without saying much, Alicia walked up to Icarus, who was standing by the window, and said, "How is it, Icarus." How is the opponent's combat power?"
"Yes, master. The enemy's fleet consisted entirely of very fast ships, and no other types of ships were found. β
Francis, who was following behind Lori, couldn't help but be very strange when she heard this: "What's going on? The whole fleet is composed of the same type of warship." And they are all high-speed ships, and it looks like the enemy is in a hurry to send people to the head. β
"Indeed, it is really difficult for a strong man to attack a base with such a battleship that is very mobile but has unsatisfactory protection and firepower. But didn't our side fail to complete the defense because it had just been captured? β
Francis couldn't help but turn around when he heard this, and what appeared in front of him was a beautiful girl in a luxurious aqua blue dress with beautiful long pink hair, and she was immediately shocked: "Uh, Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia?
Alicia, who was confirming the enemy situation with Icarus, waved her hand very casually: "Ah, don't worry. This guy was on board with me and said he was going to visit inside. Francis, you leave her alone. Just concentrate on commanding the battle. β
"I don't care about ghosts!" Francis cried out frantically with his head twisted, "there is an imperial queen on the warship under my command. There is also a princess of another country who is destined to inherit the throne in the future. If the battleship is sunk, you both will get a bento because of this, and you can guess with your toes!"
Alicia jumped decisively and turned around in the air, and after landing on the ground, she leaned forward with her hands behind her back, and made many colorful bubbles around her, raised her head and smiled with a spring breeze on her face: "I believe that you will definitely protect people's homes, Ou, Ji, and San." β
"Who is Ojisan!?" Francis grabbed a fan next to him and slapped it on the head of his queen, "And what kind of malicious cuteness is going to make before the war, hey!?
Touching the top of her head, Alicia smiled indifferently at the rude behavior of her subordinates and said, "It's because your nerves are too tense. Francis. Let's learn from Hassan over there. β
Francis turned his head to look at the legendary Tentacle Monster Vice Captain: Ya was holding a wooden board and writing and drawing on it. It seems to be aware of the gaze of the people. Hassan looked up and blinked his large, searchlight-like eyes shining with many small stars as he looked back affectionately at the curious humans not far away, and then lifted the plank with his tentacles.
It's full of one word β people.
"It's been a long time, so you're nervous, hey!" Alysia took out the ball and threw it the door of the evil eye's head, "And the correct way to do it is to write it in the palm of your hand...... Well, when I didn't say anything. β
is looking at the little Lori with a face full of innocent expressions, and the evil eyes of the little Lori who are full of black lines on her forehead have no palms at all.
Granna, who had been standing by the side and was silent, finally reminded before the daily routine in front of her was completely disconnected: "I say, now is not the time to discuss how to get rid of the tension, is it? So, how about you focus on the enemy fleet?"
After scratching her head in a little embarrassment, Alicia coughed and said, "That's right, it's important to get down to business." Sophia was right. Wolf pack tactics against a single or a handful of targets with a large number of high-speed ships are pretty much the same, and it's a stupid idea to attack bases. Therefore, I think it is very likely that the other party is not coming for the base. β
Sophia, who covered her mouth with a folding fan, couldn't help but nod approvingly. But then he wondered: "Since the other party's target is not the base, then what is it? Is the super weapon mentioned in the previous report? But after such a long time, even if the enemy is not reconciled, it should know that it has been salvaged by us." β
"Yes, it's currently being surrounded by scientists working on the base. I hope those guys won't disobey my orders and tear it to pieces......" Alicia said with a cold sweat on her face, "Even though it's a very powerful weapon, the report also mentions that only certain people can fly it." Until we figure out what kind of talent is right for its driving system, it's just scrap metal, and the enemy doesn't have to worry about us activating it and turning it against them. β
The mercury lamp, which had been listening for a long time, couldn't help pinching the bridge of his nose at this time and sighed: "This is really getting more and more incomprehensible, could it be that we are facing a group of elementary school students who specialize in giving heads?"
[If only I was an elementary school student, I don't want to be a rival to someone who came up with a huge strategic plan that took hundreds of years. γ
At a time when everyone was embarrassed by the words of the chairman. Michelle, who had boarded the ship with Ilya, suddenly moved her gaze from the scenery outside the window to the middle of the bridge: "Na, could the enemy be playing a game of pursuit? They use high-speed ships to run faster...... Woohoo. Is there anything on my face?"
Alicia took a few steps forward and shook the brown-haired girl's hands hard, "Thank you, Michelle. That sentence just now contains a great revelation, you are indeed the most competent natural nerd in Zhuoerlivan!"
"Ha ......"
Decisively ignoring the inexplicable Michelle and the mercury lamp in the complaint of "this is not a compliment at all" next to her, Lori jumped onto a nearby chair and said, "Icarus, scan the enemy fleet again to see if there is anything unusual in their formation." β
"Okay, master. Please wait a moment. The Queen of the Sky was silent for a moment before speaking. "The results are in. The enemy fleet is about to make contact with us, but they still show no sign of forming a battle formation. In addition to this, there was a small ship that was not recorded in the information that was clearly detached from the enemy's large forces. is sailing at high speed in front of it. And, it was also damaged to some extent. β
Francis became even more confused when he heard this: "What's going on, is the other party really here to give people heads? No matter what the hell they are trying to do, the whole ship is ready for battle immediately." As soon as the enemy ships are in range, sink them all!"
"Wait a minute!" Alicia and Sophia hurriedly shouted in unison.
What are these two black-bellied women thinking about? Francis, who was dripping in cold sweat, looked at the two of them in confusion after ordering the battleship to standby for the time being, and asked, "That." Is there anything wrong with that?"
After glancing at Lori. Sophia stepped forward and gently shook the folding fan while explaining indifferently, "Just like Michelle said just now, the enemy is indeed playing a game of pursuit. The small ship was the fugitive, and the high-speed ships behind were the pursuers. The small ship is damaged because it is attacked by ships in the rear, in other words, the enemy would rather sink it than let its people come into contact with us, at least on the surface. As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, but the possibility that this is a trap cannot be ruled out. What are you going to do, Alicia?"
Seeing that the pink princess had thrown the topic to herself, Alicia couldn't help but stretch out her index finger and stir the silly hair on the top of her head, and after being silent for a long time, she resolutely raised her head and said loudly, "Okay." I decided. Save it!"
"I made a special trip to the vicinity of the base that was just shot down to stage such a chase and escape drama, I think it is more likely that this is a trap set by the enemy. Sophia reminded solemnly. "Alysia, are you going to be too hasty like this?"
Alicia smiled and stroked the hair on her sideburns and looked at the people around her, "I know. But I can't sit idly by and watch others get into trouble when I know I can help. I might have put everyone in danger, but I decided to do it. Sorry, guys. β
Seeing this, Sophia couldn't help but close her eyes, smiled and shook her head, half-covering her face with a folding fan and said, "Well, that's why you attract everyone to gather around you." Well, in that case, I won't say anything more, so you can just do it!"
"Thank you!" Alicia, who was standing in the chair, then waved her arm forward vigorously, "The main goal of the whole fleet is to protect the new ship, and the enemy must not be allowed to get close to it. All enemy ships that try to approach it will be sunk!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Francis, as he said loudly as he ran back to the captain's seat, "Attention to all ships, all weapons are unrestricted and all enemies are sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish on the premise of avoiding accidental damage to the small ships!"
The allied fleet, which had been instructed, quickly formed an artillery battle formation on the sea, and moved forward firmly in the fierce wind and waves that changed the color of the sea and the sky, and soon came to the predetermined area.
Icarus, who had been in a state of scanning, suddenly said something that shocked everyone: "A high-energy reaction was detected, and the enemy warship launched an attack on the small ship in the water. β
The fan in Sophia's hand snapped and fell to the ground on the spot, and she didn't bother to pick it up: "Wait a minute, I've never heard that the magic crystal cannon can be fired in water!?"
"The weapon of the enemy ship is not a magic crystal cannon, but an energy compression weapon similar to that carried on the Deep Sea Dragon in the data. The Queen of the Sky continued indifferently without emotion. "But it didn't perform as well as the original. β
"Nonsense, if it were really as exaggerated as the original, the small ship would have sunk a long time ago. Alicia smacked her teeth indecently and said, "But the best thing about this thing is that it can shoot in the water." It's just for the submarines of the Dark Empire. Icarus, can the Crystal Cannon on our warship attack underwater targets?"
"Yes. However, the damage to enemy ships is not expected to be very large. β
[Really...... The power of the laser cannons on the Krista will also be greatly reduced in the water, and Heatil has only recently shown up to help, and will not appear casually again in a short time, so what should we do? When the enemy arrives near with the power of the cannon fire absorbed by the sea, it will be difficult to protect even our own fleet from the small ships. You have to deal with each other before this happens!By the way, I got nearly 20,000 reward points for my previous mission, so let's see if I can redeem something from the system. γ
When it comes to anti-submarine Lori, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous depth charge. But that kind of thing can only be used for emergencies. In this kind of large-scale fleet warfare, even if each ship is equipped with a dozen, the crew is not trained in this regard. It simply can't exert its power.
Alicia, who felt a little pain, had to exit the ammunition page, and was about to browse something else, but suddenly saw the products in the limited-time special sale column unique to this incomparably thunderous pseudo-main god system.
At the head of the line are nuclear submarines.
That's right, it's the kind of super weapon that runs around the world full of nuclear bombs and stages a real version of 20,000 miles under the sea without moving. Although the detailed description given by the system says. In addition to a large number of torpedo missiles, it really carries ten nuclear bombs, and these mass killers can automatically recover over time, and the submarine itself is powered by magic crystals. Alicia still decisively chose to ignore it.
The sky-high price of 45,000 reward points is not something she can afford.
The second one is slightly more reliable and cheaper, but that's only relatively - an anti-submarine helicopter that costs 30,000 yuan.
[Your sister doesn't have a serious thing, hey!?Or are you deliberately sarcastic that Locklip is deliberately sarcastic that I usually don't pay attention to storing reward points?
The puffing little Lori was about to exit the system angrily, but the third object she aimed at at at random attracted her deeply.
The Celestial Fire Phoenix, one of the two god-level mechs that the Creator God in Drow Liwen specially left for the native inhabitants to use for their own protection. It has mastered the attributes of wind and fire, which complements the attributes of water and soil mastered by the other body of the Deep Sea Dragon. These two mechs are the result of a combination of the respective strengths of technology and magic, and they possess incredible combat power that cannot be activated by anyone who does not possess a certain bloodline in the crisis of civilization. Since this is an item that already exists in reality. Therefore, you only need to pay the handling fee and the transformation fee of the bloodline opening system.
And then...... Ya's list price is 20,000 yuan.
When Alicia saw this, she almost jumped up and yelled "black shop" in front of everyone, but she gritted her teeth and endured: "Icarus." How long is it until the enemy enters the range of the fleet?"
"Less than five minutes. β
"Okay, I see. Alicia jumped out of her chair and hurried to the hatch, "Icarus will assist me in the handling of the enemy fleet, Sister Mami will continue to stand in the bow of the ship to provide fire support, and if you don't mind, you will go into the water to protect the small ship." β
"I'll leave it to you?" Sophia, who had just picked up the fan, asked in shock, "I heard Ilya say that you had already used the transformation and summoned Xana together before this, and now how are you going to deal with that kind of grand fleet!?"
"Naturally, I'm going to do what the protagonist should do!"
The Sky Fire Phoenix is very similar to the salvaged deep-sea dragon, both are streamlined shapes, except that the former is a bright fiery red and the latter is a deep azure blue. The wings on the left and right sides of the fuselage are topped with shield-shaped attachments and four large-caliber cannons on themβpresumably the legendary energy-compression weapon. The long barrel of the main gun, which was set at the bottom of the front of the fuselage, stretched straight and seemed to be able to rotate slightly. In addition to these weapons, two cannons were mounted at the head of the fuselage, and four missile launchers were mounted under the wings.
I just don't know if this thing can be like those absolutely plug-in fighters in "Ace Air Combat", carrying dozens of missiles, bombs, rockets and other weapons on the battlefield and entangled with hordes of enemies for more than ten minutes, and it can't run out of ammunition.
Although judging from the discipline of a certain creator god, this is very likely.
At the same time that it was exchanged for Elicia, its special activation system was also transformed into a special one for little Lori. A poor boy who should have been able to drive the Sky Fire Phoenix to become famous in a fight to save the world and bring countless cute girls to a certain poor boy has since become a passerby......
