When the fleet of the Dark Empire attacked, Francis was not unprepared. In fact, the forces in the Wailing Gulf were by no means as lax and defenseless as Alicia feared, but were ready to strike at any moment—well, except for a certain part of it.

Fortunately, there is ready-made equipment in the base that can replace the magic crystal cannon on the battleship with an energy compression weapon, but unfortunately, the number of these equipment is far from enough to meet the many warships of the entire Western Continent Alliance stationed here at the same time, so Francis has no choice but to let the battleships take turns to reload.

Naturally, there is no efficiency at all, but with a big war imminent, no one dares to easily transfer the fleet from the front line back to its home port for rearmament. So until the enemy on the opposite side took the initiative to attack, only about 30% of Francis's alliance fleet was replaced with the latest weapons, and some of the warships were unable to attack because they were being reequipped. Compared to the enemy, the warships of the Alliance were inferior in terms of quantity and quality, and the enemy launched a surprise attack without warning, and under normal circumstances, no matter how clever Francis's command was, his fleet would have collapsed.

But since this guy is a subordinate of Alicia, his troops naturally cannot be defined by common sense.

Not to mention, while the warships owned by the Dark Empire, the distant Tang Empire, and most of the alliance were still slowly struggling with the friction of water molecules on the surface or underwater, the three air battleships under Alicia had already flown into the sky - how do you break in the face of battleship-class firepower pouring down from the sky like raindrops?

Although the Dark Empire has managed to concoct energy compression weapons. But this thing is not a laser cannon that can penetrate the atmosphere after all, and it can only be used to hit a battleship floating in the sky...... No solution.

Perhaps this is taken into account. In addition to its many warships, the Dark Empire has also gathered many flying monsters, trying to use them as cannon fodder to distract the firepower of the aerial warships. And these death squads of gargoyles, Chimera, and even undead dragons aren't really cannon fodder, and it's still very dangerous to let them get close to the battleship to penetrate the shield and tear through the armor.

Gerudran had carried out a similar attack, but unfortunately the number of angels was not enough to break through the fire network, and the protection of the dragon around the battleship at that time did not succeed.

And Elysia, who has encountered this tactic, will be defenseless against this? Think of the handsome guys on the Imrith who can directly form a visual kei band with a black tone without makeup, and Elysia deceived them as little Ace's personal guard...... I mean, it's not to persuade them to go on a battleship to promote how gentle, lovely, kind, and pure their precious sister is, right?

At the same time, as the situation became tense, Elysia also ordered Apsara to lead a small group of dragon volunteers to take the Imrith to Wailing Bay. With the protection and assistance of these flying lizards, the three air warships can be even more effective. It even determines the outcome of the entire battle.

In the end, Yura, the girl who is burdened with driving an artifact-level weapon to fight this cruel fate, and her deep sea dragon are also another ace force that can also determine the outcome of the battle. The Alliance's surface ships are a little frantic when faced with the Dark Empire's submarines, and Yura's agile fighter jet body makes the enemy even more frustrated. Besides. The Deep Sea Dragon also has the ability to freeze a small part of the sea ghost animals in a small area - imagine being frozen in the water and crashing headfirst into an underwater iceberg that suddenly appears, and you think it's safer in the pool of citizens who may still have sharks.

In short, it is precisely because of the hard work that exists outside of the above specifications that the uncertainty in this battle has increased, and the inevitable thunderous blow of the Dark Empire has turned into a fierce tug-of-war.

"Report to the Admiral. Miss Jura sent a newsletter. Request to return to base for resupply. ”

"Let Jikrem, who is in charge of commanding the front fleet, lead the team to meet her after she withdraws, and be sure to block the onslaught of the other side. ”

"The Roland fleet on the left flank is badly damaged, and it is about to be overwhelmed!"

"If you can't stop the flash people, what kind of hero is you fighting on the front line. Let the Kerberg go over and cover their retreat!"

Francis, who sat in the Coalition flagship Christa, issued orders in an orderly manner, but a small drum gradually began to beat in his heart.

Obviously, the enemy is putting pressure on the coalition forces from three sides at the same time, trying to use the huge number of warships to steadily advance and erode and squeeze the strategic space of the coalition forces. Finally drove himself and the others out of the Bay of Wailing. It's a simple tactic, but it's very practical. Francis was forced to abandon several small bases in the vicinity that had just been attacked. Shrink your forces and defend Wailing Bay with all your might. After all, the original alliance's warships have already singled out other people's new submarines, and if they are scattered, wouldn't they be looking for a draw?

Truth be told, it is impossible to find distant ships with the naked eye in a hurricane roaring and dark and rough conditions, let alone those enemy ships still hiding under the water. Although the Christa possessed a magical probe that could see almost the entire battlefield, there were no similar devices on other ships. Although Alicia had previously proposed a new invention called "sonar", which was said to be able to easily spot enemies underwater, it still remained on the experimental bench of the Alliance's Technology Development Department - that is, the entire coalition fleet could not see the enemy, and fought with its eyes completely closed.

Fortunately, the Energy Compression Weapon has a huge flaw, that is, it will emit a dazzling light in all directions when it is about to be launched, and in the inky black waters, these sparkling lights are undoubtedly the best targets. The allied officers and soldiers used this fleeting light, a symbol of death, to locate the enemy's position and launch a counterattack, putting up stubborn resistance.

The Roland fleet, which was responsible for defending the left flank of the base, had already turned into a floating brazier. Fortunately, the waves from the hurricane helped to extinguish some of the fires, otherwise it would have been impossible to tell how many battleships would have sunk now.

Although the Roland Empire itself was rich. Building a new navy isn't a problem, but unlike an army, a navy can't be built up even if you're well-equipped and your crew is all novices.

Before Elysia ascended the throne, the navy of the original Birea Empire had fought many battles with the fleet of the Dark Empire that had secretly assisted the Cursed Sect in infiltrating operations. It is also due to this that they are still able to maintain a strong fighting force, while the navy of the Roland Empire has no similar combat experience, at most it is only a pirate fight.

Francis put them on the slightly less pressurized left because of that. Originally, the Admiral did not expect them to be able to hold the defensive line, as long as they delayed for a while, but they did not expect that this group of officers and soldiers with strong blood and strength would not retreat, and while successfully resisting the enemy's attack, they themselves also paid a heavy price.

The person in charge of the Kerberg is Kaya - of course, this is only in name, and the real commander of the ship is actually the tentacle monster Hassan with the big shining eyes next to him.

The long, straight black Lolita Dragon bit the lollipop while letting the battleship fly to the top of the countless braziers below, and after looking down twice, he couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "It seems that these ships are all ruined." Ask them if they can still move? If they can, they all return to the base for repairs. Don't wait for reinforcements to arrive and the ship sinks, is there anything more tragic than this?"

"It is reported that a large number of unidentified black shadows moving at high speed have been found in mid-air about two hundred meters in the direction of ten o'clock on this ship. Suspicion of enemy air forces!"

“...... The preamble is withdrawn. Sure enough, there is something more tragic than this. The little black dragon bit off the lollipop in his mouth and said vaguely, "Hassan, the boat is handed over to you, I will take a few people to meet each other." ”

Hassan decisively lifted a plank and stretched it out in front of Night. It reads, "Don't eat gargoyles." ”

Then he turned to the other side: "It's going to hurt your stomach." ”

"Are you Ellie's master!?" Ayama jumped up and punched Hassan viciously in the round head. made the latter's huge eyes immediately filled with an extremely sad look of grievance, "Besides, those guys are both jerky and knocking teeth, and I won't take a second bite if I kill them." ”

"In the end, you still ate it!" Hassan, wielding a wooden board with the words written on it, slapping the top of Lorilong's head in a frenzy.

"Ulusai! It flew in front of me on its own, and then I subconsciously opened its mouth to bite it, this is an accident, what can I do?"

Hassan took out a quill pen and wrote something on the board quickly, and it took a long time for the board to suddenly appear in front of the long-awaited crowd.

"Did you deliberately put on a panicked appearance after colliding with your sister at the turn of the corridor, and then pushed her down, and happened to press your hands on someone's chest, or got your head into someone's skirt, and enjoyed some benefits to your heart's content, and then deliberately put on a panicked appearance, and put all the responsibility on the ghost animal male protagonist in the light novel of 'force majeure' and 'accident'!?"

"You're really possessed by Ellie's master, aren't you?" said the little black dragon as he stared at the tentacle monster in front of him.

A certain crew member who finally couldn't stand the two strange creatures who continued to play daily reminded cautiously: "That, the enemy is only one hundred and fifty meters away from the ship." ”

When she heard this, she finally remembered that she still had something to do, and she immediately gave up the confrontation with the Evil Eye. Hurriedly ran out of the bridge. In the bilge, five dragons in human form are on standby, and all the little black dragon has to do is to lead them away from the battleship. Completely tear the enemy to shreds before the enemy air force approaches the Kerberg.

Fighting in the far seas of a hurricane, not many of the Dragons were willing to join the Alliance's expeditionary force. Although these large lizards have been sleeping in their caves for many years, the active dragons actually love to come out and bask in the sun. Not to mention the fact that you don't see the sun all day long, it's full of damp and fishy moisture, and for dragons who pay great attention to appearance, the open sea, where you can fly casually and turn into a soup chicken, is definitely not a good place to fight.

Later, it was Alicia who had the wit to suggest that the dragon use human form to accompany the warship in her human form after seeing the night of the loli, which reluctantly recruited a small number of volunteers, and because the number was so scarce, she had to place them on the precious air battleship.

Along with them, there were more than a dozen fallen angels. These cool guys may be a little lacking in strength, but that's only relative. And they're fast, they're nimble. It's a good combination with a huge dragon.

Today's weather is very bad, with torrential rain in addition to the seemingly never-ending hurricane. The dense droplets of water hit the eyelids. The strong howling wind tore everyone's wings, all kinds of dazzling thunderbolts continued to fall from the black clouds, and from time to time, waves more than ten meters high suddenly rose into the sky, almost sweeping people away.

"Can't you fly higher?" asked a water-based green dragon who followed closely behind Aya, and couldn't help but ask loudly after using a spell to save a fallen angel who was almost swept away by the waves.

"No!" "No!" Kaya immediately twisted his long neck and looked back at the other party and denied, "Although our perception ability is very strong, it will still be greatly affected after being blocked by the sea. Until we are sure that there are no enemy warships under the water in the nearby seas, we can only fly so high. ”

"But even if we find the enemy's fleet, what can we do, spray dragon breath into the water?" Qinglong reminded slightly. "Or are you going to leave me behind to deal with them with magic? ”

Ayaya stretched out her forelimbs and shook them gently, and by the way, put on a very standard "you don't understand" expression on the long dragon face and said, "Ellie, the master told me that there is a profession called artillery observer in this world. His mission was to reconnoiter the location of the enemy's vital forces or important equipment and contact the headquarters. Send the coordinates to the gunners so that they can annihilate the enemy with their cannons without seeing them with their own eyes. And I have a connection with the Kerberg, and when I find the battleship hidden under the water, I can tell the Roland fleet to let them do a saturation bombardment, and if they can still fire the cannon now......"

This was a very good idea, but the enemy, who had been fiercely resisted by Roland's fleet, immediately withdrew from the theater of operations and sent air forces to meet the Kirberg as soon as they noticed the approaching of the Kirberg. Therefore, the little black dragon did not find those legendary submarines.

When the distance between the two sides was only a few tens of meters. Ayaya finally gave up the search for the enemy warship and began to lead the team to climb high.

In the large number of pale blue lightning, the appearance of those strange prey creatures not far away was faintly visible.

The first is naturally the gargoyle that is standard cannon fodder - don't wonder why there are undead creatures here, it's as unreliable as wondering where the traffic of your claw machine is after clicking on a certain picture welfare post. These ugly things covered in tatters have nothing to do with the muscular men who live in Manhattan who are rocks by day and heroes by night, they are just large pieces of winged garbage that look like monster models made of bits and pieces of stitched together in some third-rate horror movie that cut corners.

But there are so many of them that they are so dense that you can't see the edge as far as the eye can see. Knowing how much trouble it would be to be entangled by these guys, Kaya immediately inhaled hard without hesitation, letting the hot flames writh around his mouth violently, and the exaggerated temperature turned the torrential rain around the dragon's head into a large amount of white vapor. It was impossible to see what was going on inside, the sharply compressed mana made a sharp hissing sound, and the nearby air formed a visible vortex that was sucked into the mouth of the night, and the powerful coercion made the people who followed her flee in fear. And the gargoyles on the other side, who didn't know the pain and death at all, also seemed to be affected by this coercion, and the entire formation of the high-speed charge was instantly chaotic.

In the narrow space of the howling wind between the thick black clouds and the bottomless ocean, a roar erupted from a powerful creature that shook almost the entire space. The deep clouds and the raging sea were split by the crimson pillars of flame that pierced the sky, and countless fireworks burst into the air, falling towards the sea one after another.

Those were gargoyles that had been rubbed to the side by the dragon's breath and turned into fireballs. As for the ...... who were directly hit Do you know what sublimation is?

"It's still not under control. Despite the astonishing results and the effects of light and shadow that would overshadow any fleet salvo, Nighta was still a little unhappy, "I would have liked to shake my head twice more to increase the range of damage." ”

You who once spewed half a mountain with a mouthful of dragon breath should save it, and the dragon set also needs a chance to play!

The little black dragon's map cannon is indeed very powerful, but what she cleaned out was just the gargoyles who were the first cannon fodder. Taking advantage of this time, the undead griffin behind the enemy's formation, some kind of low-level monster with no hands and feet and only a pair of bat wings in the shape of a round ball, a Chimera that looked like it was made up of a patchwork of many animals, and a small number of undead dragons all accelerated and rushed in front of everyone in a blink of an eye.

"Deal with griffons and monsters first, they are the biggest threat to the battleship because of their agility!" Ayaya immediately instructed loudly, "The dragons move freely, and the fallen angels work in pairs, disperse!" You don't have to participate in the battle, you just need to pay attention to the movements of the enemy's fleet. I don't want to be blown away by a human cannon or something in the middle of the fight. (To be continued.) )
