Chapter 1002 Siren Fortress Battlefield
Fierce artillery fire continuously blasted up towering water columns on the sea surface. The sky was filled with smoke that obscured the originally dark red sea surface, making the place look as terrifying as purgatory.
However, the two sides fighting fiercely in the sea seemed to have long been accustomed to such scenes.
It seemed that such a scene could more fully arouse the most brutal side of their hearts, releasing their firepower to the fullest, showing a cruelty that was completely different from their previous behavior.
"Musashi, lead the Sakura Empire to suppress the enemy's firepower on the left side. Don't focus on the Empress's hull. Concentrate your firepower to destroy one of her main guns!"
On the battlefield, Bismarck kept giving instructions. Relying on Geryon's switching between defensive and offensive postures, she had more opportunities than others to observe Empress's movements, which led to this scene.
Following Bismarck's guidance, countless lightning bolts and shells fired at one of Empress's main guns, with even more shells blocking her movement.
When the shell was about to hit the main gun of Enpress, it was blocked by a layer of blue film. The people of the Sakura Empire were not discouraged by this, but continued their attack.
The shield module inside the overload module can be said to be very shameless. As long as it has energy, it can defend against most artillery attacks.
A large number of attacks were blocked, but some still hit the Empres gun. The originally blue-black gun was burned, but it did not affect the gun's continued firing, but it seemed that the interval between firings was a little longer than before.
Although this gap was very small, it was still sensitively captured by Bismarck.
"Confirm that the attack is effective and continue the attack."
"clear."
However, to maintain this attack rhythm, you need to withstand more attacks. This is not only a great test for the attacker, but also for the defending ship girl.
The more damage they suffered, the more fierce the Arbiter Enpress's counterattack would be. Moreover, a group attack like this would easily allow people to catch the focus of their own positions, and the opponent's barrage would invade, which would make the defensive pressure on them even worse.
"The enemy's firepower is too strong. Whether it is the main fleet or the vanguard fleet, pay attention to your position and don't concentrate too much. It is very likely that the defense shield will be broken in the next second."
Prince Eugen, who was standing at the front, spoke quickly in the communicator. This sentence was not meant for the Iron Blood camp, but for all the current camps.
But even with her reminder, the hundreds of ships were still too dense for a single Arbitrator, Enpress.
Soon, under the attack of several missiles falling from the sky, the already fragile crystal shield was instantly shattered, and the vanguard fleet and the main fleet were completely exposed to the attack of Arbitrator Empres.
Despite the containment of the Embers Fleet, the entire team soon suffered damage.
"White Eagle's Baltimore has suffered over 70% damage. We are requesting to temporarily withdraw from the battle for emergency repairs!"
"The damage to the Kursk, a ship of the Northern Alliance, has reached the critical point of 80%. We request to temporarily withdraw from the battle and carry out emergency repairs!"
“…”
For a while, reports like this kept ringing in the communicator, which invisibly put great pressure on everyone!
"Approved. If the damage to the ship's hull exceeds 60%, it can withdraw from the battle on its own. After reaching a safe distance for emergency repairs, it can rejoin the battlefield! When retreating, report to the group flagship and cross-fire to avoid confusion in the formation."
Bismarck's voice sounded in the communicator, and the rapid reporting sound suddenly paused. Then, a large number of offensive formations turned into defensive formations, and dozens of ship girls continued to retreat to a place farther away from the battlefield under cover.
On the premise of following Bismarck's words, everyone covered each other when retreating and did not further expand the original damage when the formation was in chaos. This is something to be thankful for.
However, this result has a lot to do with Tiehe's recent high-intensity battles, mutual cooperation, and tacit understanding.
Now the ship girls of Qin Ge's fleet are no longer the team with less experience in battles, rich tactics but lack of tacit understanding. After a long period of fighting and mutual adjustment, they are very good at covering each other and attacking alternately.
Therefore, even if dozens of ships withdrew from the periphery for repairs, the corresponding firepower did not fall.
"Huh, what an annoying rat!" said Empres with a frown.
Although Qin Ge's ship girl strength is much weaker than hers, it does not mean that she is immune to the damage caused by Qin Ge's ship girl.
Moreover, they are all ships of contracted souls. Although their attack power is not as good as the original prototype ships, they also have relatively strong strength, and in terms of potential, they are even more outstanding than some prototype ships.
Although her own strength is certainly very strong, if she lets go completely, she can easily fight her way in and out of the formation of these ships.
But the situation clearly didn't allow her to do so, as more than a dozen Ember Line Pures kept staring at her. As planned, they didn't cause her too much harm, but the chains and erratic spells surrounding her all the time made her extremely cautious.
The attack of these embers is not comparable to the attack of simple ships, even she has to be careful. So this has formed a great restraint on her. Even if there is no direct attack on her, she dare not or cannot reopen the formation of these embers to directly attack the ships behind.
The battlefield was at a stalemate, and just as the original plan had indicated, her own defeat was only a matter of time.
Even though Empres was very disdainful of such a plan and wanted to have a good fight, when she thought of everything involved in this plan, she still hid her warlike thoughts.
At this time, in the unknown space above the sea, Akagi yawned in boredom, looked at the enthusiastic young man beside him in confusion, and said in surprise, "Dear, can you be so happy to watch such a boring battle?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, I rarely see such scenes. The duel between the Arbiter, Ember, and the ship, although all of this was planned, but without such thoughts, just watching the battle is still very exciting.
Look at the coordination between the ships. Even when facing the powerful firepower of Enpress, they can still face it calmly. And when the damaged ships were repaired, they were able to maintain their formation and their firepower was not reduced at all. It can be seen that the tactical training they usually receive includes teachings on this aspect.
Isn’t this all interesting?”
"Okay, as long as you like it~"
