Chapter 99 The Japanese’s Top Secret Weapon

What do you mean by going against you? I stole my things from the Chinese myself. No matter where the Chinese things came from, it has nothing to do with me. Don’t you understand this? "

"Hmph, you mean you've decided to go against me?" Ghost-hand Nobunaga glared at Matsumoto Masaru. "Okay, remember this for me and I will let you know who is the boss in Japan now."

After Nobunaga left, Masamoto Matsumoto immediately ran to an uninhabited area, and then he took out a strange bracelet from his body and put it on his wrist. He touched the bracelet, and it immediately released a black crystal ball that enveloped his whole body. From the outside of the crystal ball, it seems that the inside of the crystal ball is completely dark and nothing can be seen. However, inside the crystal, Masamoto Matsumoto is standing in front of a light blue ball of light suspended in mid-air. This ball of light is speaking to Masamoto Matsumoto. What, and as the voice changes in pitch, the light ball keeps flashing, looking very regular.

In fact, this light ball is a spatial projection, and its body is the military god located in Essinger. As for the black light ball outside, it is a device used to isolate detection. This is mainly to prevent Matsumoto Masaru from accidentally contacting us. It was discovered by other Japanese players, so we tied the shielding device and the communication device together. We even used the prayer altar to apply for a special mission to completely integrate it and miniaturize it into a bracelet. Shape.

Masamoto Matsumoto is now reporting to the God of War on Nobunaga's reaction just now. On the God of War, Mingui and I and the think tank of our guild are listening to his report in different places through terminal devices. After Matsumoto Masaru finished his report, Mingui immediately said: "You don't have to worry about this. Since you are going to take over again, the conflict with Ghost-handed Nobunaga will be inevitable, but you still have to be as careful as possible during this period." .”

Su Mei's voice suddenly came out from the light ball. "I think it would be better for Matsumoto-kun to suffer a little loss."

"Reason? Please explain." Although the God of War is a battlefield management computer, he is not a human after all. He may have better macro-control capabilities than humans, but when it comes to innovation and tricks, he is no match for humans.

"We can publicize this incident so that Mr. Matsumoto can gain some support, and then if Mr. Matsumoto is persecuted by Nobunaga, then we can make a big fuss about it. Masamoto Matsumoto can be the host of the suffering. Come out and complain, and then ask Matsumoto-kun to tell other Japanese players that those cities occupied by us must not be robbed. When those Japanese players ask the reason, you can tell them what happened to Matsumoto-kun himself, and then use this to prove it. Ghost-hand Nobunaga simply does not allow others to control the cities he lost, so even if other Japanese players take the cities back, he will not recognize the ownership of those people. This is equivalent to pushing Ghost-hand Nobunaga to those who want to regain the lost territory. The antithesis of Japanese players."

"The probability calculation passed." Military God said very seriously: "Based on this suggestion, I can deduce three results that are beneficial to us. One is to arouse the enthusiasm of Japanese players to regain lost territory, and the other is to severely damage the ghost-handed Nobunaga in Japan. The third is to indirectly gain sympathy points for Matsumoto-kun. Afterwards, Japanese players may no longer care about Matsumoto-kun's previous mistakes. After all, Japanese people are also sympathetic. Of course, this kind of sympathy is only for people. Their nationals are effective, but fortunately Matsumoto-kun is still considered one of their own, and although you made a mistake first, they did not regard you as an enemy."

Although Masamoto Matsumoto felt uncomfortable hearing this, he has defected to us now. Besides, he has even arrived in China in real life. There is no way out at all, so he can only hypnotize himself. He is now abandoned by the Japanese. People, so there is no need to care about national concepts anymore. After comforting himself, Masamoto Matsumoto said: "I think Miss Sumei's statement is a bit exaggerated. I don't think there is any need for me to be bullied by Nobunaga. As long as he attacks me, even if I win, he will The name of the Chinese accomplice has also been established."

"That's true." Mingui said: "In that case, the plan remains unchanged. Matsumoto-kun, please try your best to withstand the attack of Nobunaga. If you can't defeat Nobunaga, the purple sun will proceed. Siege the city and interrupt your battle."

"Understood. I'm going to prepare for the revenge of Nobunaga."

As early as when Nobunaga had just succeeded Masamoto Matsumoto as the leader of Japanese players, I already knew that Nobunaga Nobunaga was not a think tank leader like Matsumoto Masa. He is more like a reckless man. Although he is more resourceful than ordinary reckless men, he is definitely not comparable to Matsumoto Masaru. If it were a situation like today's, Masamoto Matsumoto would definitely endure it for the time being. But Ghost Hand Nobunaga is not Matsumoto Masa after all. He couldn't imagine that much. In contrast, Masamoto Matsumoto and Nobunaga Ghost Hands paid more attention to immediate interests. Also a win. If Masamoto Matsumoto wins, it will definitely be an overall victory that has been planned for a long time. Then he will win one game after another. Not giving the opponent any chance to make a comeback. But Ghost Hand Nobunaga is different. His victory is simply a victory. It can be said that as long as he wins the current battle, he will not think about what to do in the subsequent battles. This is the biggest difference between a force leader and a think tank leader. So I'm not afraid of losing to Ghost Hand Nobunaga. Anyway, they fight one battle at a time. Even losing a round to him doesn't mean anything.

After Masamoto Matsumoto discussed the matter with us, he began to win over some old forces in Hirakawa Castle. He is no longer the leader of Japanese players. Therefore, in terms of status, he suffers a bit more than Ghost Hand Nobunaga. But although humans are advanced animals, they are still animals after all. So reason does not determine everything. People often decide the affinity between others and themselves based on their own subjective judgment. Although Ghost Hand Nobunaga is the leader of Japanese players. But compared to the people around me. The leader's affinity is actually not very high. What Matsumoto Masaru needs to do now is to communicate more with these people. As long as you get to know everyone. Then in the subsequent battle for the city, these people will at least not help Nobunaga beat him.

In fact, while Masamoto Matsumoto was busy building relationships, Nobunaga and I were not idle either. But we and Matsumoto Masaki are not the same thing. As the leader of a force. We have much more work than Matsumoto Masako. At least we can't focus all our energy on the gains and losses of a city. Now Nobunaga and I are busy directing the movement of ore to the ship.

Just a few minutes after I ended the call with Matsumoto Masaru, the military god sent me a message. According to the news from the guild's intelligence personnel lurking around Nobunaga Ghost Hands. Ghost Hand Nobunaga's men just got a piece of news. There is a small island that temporarily appeared in the offshore area on the Pacific side of Japan's main island. There is a temporary mission on this island where you can use magic crystals to exchange personal attributes. And there is no upper limit. In other words, as long as you have enough magic crystals. Even if you improve your attributes to the sky, it doesn't care about you. However, it is said that the NPCs on this island do not want any magic crystals. He only charges

There are only a few good magic crystals. Although there are no restrictions on this island)? Considering the special requirements of the magic crystals collected, I estimate that the only people who are really capable of brushing attributes are just the presidents of various guilds, and the points for this brushing are probably not very high. There would be too many. After all, high-end magic crystals are rare commodities with a price but no market, and they cannot be used casually for squandering. However, this time there is a system setting that allows ordinary magic crystals to be exchanged for high-grade magic crystals on the island and then used as capital. However, some intermediate fees must be deducted in this exchange process, so you still cannot exchange too many. Otherwise the cost will be unbearable. Of course, the main reason why I went this time was not to exchange attributes. Anyway, I would be number one in the system whether to redeem it or not. My main goal was to prevent Ghost Hand Nobunaga from redeeming attributes. In the long run, Ghost Hand Nobunaga is a big trouble. It is good for me not to let him redeem his attributes. From a closer look, Ghost Hand Nobunaga will definitely cause trouble for Matsumoto Masa after he comes back. If Ghost Hand Nobunaga comes back, If his strength has improved, it will be difficult for Matsumoto Masaru to mess around.

It took us more than four hours to fill the warehouse on the battleship, and then we set sail from Fulcrum City and sailed around Mainzhou Island towards the target location. Because Japan is not the focus of naval warfare now, we don't have many ships here. The only three medium-sized warships sent out to me this time. According to the plan, we can also join the seven warships returning from Australia halfway. Two of these seven warships are large warships. Once we join together, our combat power will still be considerable.

On the Japanese side, Nobunaga is much more greedy than I am. It took this guy eight hours to gather six warships before leaving the port. And unlike my three medium-sized battleships, Nobunaga's fleet has a heavy battleship. , although the remaining five are also medium-sized battleships, they are larger than our battleships. In this way, with the dream of earning attribute points to surpass me, Nobunaga Ghost Hands finally set sail four hours after us, but due to the distance, he was not much behind us in terms of distance.

On the rough sea, the heavy cruiser Conch advanced rapidly towards the target at standard speed. In the night, the medium cruiser Medal and the large destroyer Sea Dog followed the Conch on the left and right. Since a large thunderstorm area was found ahead, we made a slight modification to our course so that we could skirt around the edge of the thunderstorm area. However, although this was only the edge of the thunderstorm zone, the waves were still quite strong, and the three battleships were swaying in the wind and rain like three leaves.

"How far are we from that island?" Nobunaga Ghost Hands sat on the bridge and asked the captain beside him.

"There are probably more than a hundred nautical miles left. At this speed, we will be able to see the island in more than three hours when we pass through the storm belt."

Ghost-hand Nobunaga nodded, and then said to himself: "Thanks for bringing big ships this time, otherwise it would have been delayed by how much time it would have taken to go around the storm zone!"

The captain heard Nobunaga's words and immediately explained: "Actually, it's not that our ship is big enough, but because our angle is not directly into the center of the storm, so we only pass by the edge of the storm belt, even if it is a small There is no need for the warship to make a detour either."

"Oh? Is that so? That's it! It seems that God is also helping us."

Ghost-hand Nobunaga was proudly expressing his emotion when he suddenly heard the correspondent yelling.

"The ship's shadow was found in the watchtower." "Report the details." The captain ignored Nobunaga's words and quickly ran to the correspondent and asked.

The correspondent first asked the lookout before reporting to the captain: "Ship Shadow Three was found, bearing zero nine zero, heading zero, speed thirty four. The ship shape is a heavy cruiser and a large destroyer belonging to the Frost Rose Alliance. One ship and one medium cruiser.”

"Chinese warship?" The captain was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't show any signs of panic. "The order is to center on this ship. The left-wing battleship accelerates forward, and the right-wing battleship slows down and retreats to form a line array. After the formation is completed, it slowly approaches the enemy ship at a fixed speed of 35. All gun positions are ready for battle at the first level." The order was completed. After this series of orders, the captain turned to Nobunaga Ghost Hand and said: "Although the battleships of the Frost Rose Alliance have higher single-ship combat capabilities than our battleships of the same level, this time we have an advantage in terms of both the number of battleships and the tonnage of single ships. The three ships should be dealt with quickly."

Ghost Hand Nobunaga is not as optimistic as the captain. Different status determines different ways of thinking. As a captain of a battleship and a commander of a squadron, all the Japanese players have to consider is how to win a naval battle, but Nobunaga has to consider more.

"This may just be a Chinese squadron. We must not be careless. Leave immediately as soon as the battle is over. We must rush to the island before being discovered by the Chinese large fleet."

"Understood. Ah..." Boom, a sudden explosion accompanied by violent shock knocked the captain who was about to salute directly to the ground. Following closely, Nobunaga saw the Kirishima in front and behind him. A huge water column rose up nearby, and the Kirishima in front began to suddenly turn to the left and quickly broke away from the formation.

The captain of the battleship Tensuke, where Nobunaga was on, had just gotten up from the ground when he heard the correspondent reporting loudly: "The No. 3 turret of our ship was shot and is currently disabled. The battleship Kirishima in front reported that their rudder It’s so damaged that it can no longer control its direction.”

"Damn it, how come the Chinese cannons are so accurate?" Ghost Hand Nobunaga complained loudly.

The captain said calmly: "The range and accuracy of the guns of the battleships of the Frost Rose Alliance are far superior to ours, but it was just a calibration shot, otherwise there would not be only two rounds!"

"But this is too accurate!"

"It doesn't matter. It was probably just a coincidence. Although the Chinese cannons are accurate, they are not perfect, especially in thunderstorm weather like this."

In fact, the captain's judgment was quite accurate, because at this time, the Conch's bridge was cheering loudly. I put down the telescope and said to the captain of the Conch next to me: "Who fired the cannon just now? This guy is so lucky! It seems that the stern rudder of the cruiser was blown up by him, and it is spinning there now!"

The captain of the Conch smiled and said: "Although the result is good, I still have to scold him after a while. I don't believe that he planned to hit the other person's stern rudder from the beginning. He must have missed the target. Instead, he first The first shot was good, and it actually hit the rear turret of the most important battleship of the Little Devils. Now the three turrets that pose the greatest threat to us are now one less."

While listening to the captain, I turned my head to look at the Japanese fleet, but as soon as I turned my head, I saw several fireballs lighting up on the Japanese warship opposite.

"Lie down!" I shouted quickly and pushed the Conch captain next to me to the ground.

Boom...boom...continuous explosions came and went, and the Conch stabilized after shaking violently. When we climbed up we only saw a few high

The pillar was falling back. I nervously ran to the side of the ship and looked back and forth, and saw the light of the fire. Then the correspondent's report also made me feel a little more relieved. The naval guns of Little Japan are really much different from ours. Although we fired more than a dozen shells at a time, only one of our Conch shells was hit, and it missed because it hit the thickest part of the armor.

"Aren't Little Japan's cannons very good?" said a very young player in the bridge.

"It's not that the Japanese guns are not good, it's that the distance is too far. Even if we get closer, we can't withstand such a bombardment." The captain of the Conch ordered: "Fleet, please pay attention and keep the distance between you and the Japanese." , don’t let them close the distance, our firepower is dominant at this distance.”

Upon hearing this, the helmsman immediately reported: "But Captain, there is a storm zone on our right side. If the Japanese come closer and we retreat repeatedly, we will be forced into the storm!"

"I've completely forgotten about this!"

Seeing the captain thinking about what to do, I said directly: "Don't worry about the Japanese. Let's speed up. As long as we can get ashore before the ghost-handed Nobunaga, we don't have to worry about anything."

"That's right." After hearing this, the captain immediately ordered the fleet to speed up and get out of the battle, but the Japanese were not stupid. When they saw us speeding up, they immediately drove fast to catch up. Originally, the Japanese ships could not outrun our warships under normal conditions, but the problem is that this is not the normal condition. The storm caused the ship's hull to shake violently, and the waves also hindered the navigation of the warship. In this case, the larger the ship, the more advantageous it was. Since we were relatively closer to the center of the storm than the Japanese, and we were not superior in terms of tonnage, we were actually a little slower than the Japanese. As a result, we not only failed to get rid of the Japanese fleet, but made them get closer and closer. Close.

"Damn, they are actually getting close." The captain of the Conch put down his telescope in frustration and ordered to the correspondent: "Order all gun positions to concentrate fire on the front battleship of the Japanese fleet. Unless the target sinks or loses the ability to pursue, do not attack." Stop shooting. Once the target is completed, immediately transfer the target to the second ship."

"clear."

Following this order, the warships on both sides of the sea began a moving artillery battle. Although the Japanese warships can run faster than us in this weather condition, they are not much faster than us. Although the distance is getting closer, the speed is extremely slow. Although our warships were small in number, our cannons were powerful. We took advantage of its long range and high accuracy to blast the Japanese warships in the lead. For a while, the front battleship was constantly blazing fire, and in less than three minutes, ten of them were hit. Three rounds.

"Report, the Breaking Waves requested to change the position of the formation. They can't hold it anymore." The correspondent on the battleship where Nobunaga was on reported to the captain and Nobunaga.

The captain glanced at Nobunaga Ghost Hands, hoping that he could give some advice, but Nobunaga Ghost Hands did not say anything this time. As a result, the captain had no choice but to bite the bullet and ordered: "Let them hold on. The Chinese just want to use This tactic forces us to stop chasing. Once we change the formation position, it is equivalent to increasing the distance between them and the ship. Now we have to take one more shell for every meter we pursue. The length of this ship is not something we can arbitrarily Those who have finished, let them hold on.”

Although this order is more harsh on the battleships in the front row, it is true after all. Besides, the Japanese have always been relatively unafraid of death, so the Breaking Waves in the front row still accepted the order and pursued it under gunfire, but sometimes will is not omnipotent. of. With a loud bang, the bow of the Breaker suddenly jumped upwards, and then the whole ship slammed back into the water. The bow plunged into the water and never floated again, and the back half of the hull Then it is raised high, and the battleship behind can even see its high-speed rotating propeller flying in the air.

"Report, communication from the Wavebreaker."

"read."

"The ammunition depot under the No. 2 turret of our ship was detonated by a shell. It is now irreparable. I hope Zhujun will continue to work hard and we will take the first step."

Along with the gloomy atmosphere in the Japanese fleet, there was thunderous cheers on our warships, but this atmosphere did not last long. Everyone was cheering on the bridge of the Conch. Suddenly the battleship shook violently, and then began to tilt to the left. The huge battleship actually turned sideways at a large angle like a motorcycle cornering at high speed, towards the direction of the Japanese fleet. Rushed over.

"No, the tail rudder was shot!"

The captain rushed to the correspondent's position and shouted an order: "Report the damage."

After some contact, the correspondent reported back: "The a and b1 rudders were completely damaged. They are currently in the left full rudder position, and b2 is basically normal. The No. 2 propeller has been deformed and cannot work. The No. 267 watertight compartment has been slightly flooded, and the hull The structure is basically normal.”

"Fortunately, the injury is not serious." The captain said to me: "The warships in our guild are equipped with side-thrust engines on the bow. Even if the steering wheel completely fails, the direction can still be controlled, but the turning radius will be increased. big."

"Then you have to thank me." I smiled and said to the captain: "I asked all the warships in our guild to install this side-thrust engine. It seems that the effect is pretty good, but at our speed, If you don’t go behind, aren’t the Japanese warships getting closer and closer?”

"There's nothing we can do about it. The deformed rudder will increase our resistance. Besides, there is also a set of propellers that are deformed, so the speed will definitely not be able to increase."

I nodded. "Then try to find a way to kill more warships before the enemy approaches."

"We are now at maximum firepower output. It seems that unless the special formation from Australia can arrive in time, we may have no hope of escaping."

"That's it!" I hesitated and then said, "Anyway, you try to kill as many Japanese warships as possible. When we get closer, I will launch a special attack on the Japanese fleet."

"Special attack? President, this is not a battleship. We don't have special guns?"

"What do you want that thing for? I'm not a puppet. Do you still plan to put me in a cannon and hit me on a Japanese warship?"

"That's true, but I still hope that the president will not go there by himself."

"Why?" I felt very strange looking at the serious look on the captain's face.

The captain said seriously: "We are the navy after all. As long as the battleships are still there, it would be a shame for us to let passengers like you, President, take action on their own!"

"It is said that the environment affects the character, and it seems to be true." I muttered in a low voice and then said to the captain: "Then I will try not to take action, but this mission is very important, and I can't do it just because of your face. No matter how messed up you are, I will still take action if the situation can no longer support you."

"Thank you, President."

After getting my permission, the captain's enthusiasm was as high as ever, and orders kept coming out like a stream of water, making the correspondent so busy that he had no time to look up. The battle situation on the sea gradually became more intense due to the captain's enthusiasm. Of course, the gradually shortening distance was also one of the important factors.

Our side always concentrates its firepower on the Japanese warships at the front of the row, so the warships at the back of the Japanese row are basically unscathed, but there are only four warships left in total. Compared with the total number of Japanese warships, this battle loss ratio is indeed serious, but considering the number of both sides, we still suffered a loss. As the distance has shortened, the Japanese naval guns have finally begun to enter the optimal firing range. At this distance, our artillery fire has no advantage at all. There is no deflection anyway, and no matter how accurate it is, it is meaningless. As for the power, anyway As long as it can penetrate the deck, it actually doesn't make much sense as to how many layers it can penetrate.

Nobunaga Ghost Hands sat on his battleship and shouted loudly for the captain of the Tianyou to speed up. However, the captain of the Tianyou Ship did not stop at all. Nobunaga Ghost Hands commanded the remaining four ships very calmly. The battleships divided into two teams and surrounded them from both sides. Because the Conch's speed dropped so sharply, it was quickly caught in the middle by their four battleships. Although Ghost Hand Nobunaga discovered that the captain did not listen to his orders, he also knew that he could not cause trouble at this time, so he did not say anything and just urged to attack the Conch quickly.

Seeing the Japanese warships aiming their guns at the Conch, the sailors on our side became anxious. The Sea Dog even tried to rush up to help us block the shells. Unfortunately, the warship was shaking too hard in the waves. I can't rush forward at all.

The captain of the Conch also discovered the intention of the Sea Dog. He directly grabbed the crystal communicator of the correspondent and shouted loudly: "Sea Dog, I order you to go back, stay in formation, and don't do anything stupid."

"But the Conch was hit by the most bullets, and it will sink if it gets hit by more bullets!"

"If it sinks, my Conch will sink. If you rush up, we will sink together. Just stay where you are."

"But...!" "No but, this is an order." After the captain finished shouting, he directly returned the microphone to the correspondent and then ordered: "Attention fleet, after the Japanese warships launch a salvo, the entire fleet will turn to 280 to concentrate firepower on I hit the Nakajima on the left front."

"Huh?" The correspondent was obviously startled by this order, but after looking at the captain, he still sent the order.

The Japanese warships prepared quickly. In about ten seconds, all the warships' guns were aimed at the Conch. Then they saw the cannons of the Japanese warships on the left and right suddenly light up at the same time. Less than five seconds later The Conch suddenly shook violently, and the whole ship shook violently as if it was about to break up. At the same time, we also heard a huge explosion and the sound of metal twisting. It felt as if the main structure of the hull was damaged.

In fact, the Japanese are very satisfied with the effect of this bombardment. At least the large rows of holes on the left and right sides of the Conch look very exaggerated, and everyone can see that the speed of the Conch has obviously slowed down. It has obviously already Basically lost motivation.

The captain got up from his position and immediately ordered to the correspondent: "Report the damage."

"The ship's hull was shot in many places, and the engine room was damaged. Currently, only the No. 1 engine is still running at half speed. The power mechanism inside the ship has been damaged. The steering mechanism of the turret has basically failed. Both the No. 1 and No. 2 turrets can only The gun was fired straight forward, but the No. 3 turret is still operating normally. The crew cabin was damaged and slightly flooded. The damage control is being processed. The main keel of the hull is slightly deformed. It does not affect navigation for the time being, but it must be overhauled as soon as possible."

"Haha, our Frost ship is the best." The captain laughed and ordered: "Then according to the original plan, the fleet will salute the Nakajima on the left front and then turn to 280."

"Understood, salvo Nakajima and turn to 280."

The captains of the Sea Dog and the Medal immediately shouted loudly after receiving the order: "Fire the guns, fire the guns, concentrate your fire on the Island."

The close-range salvos from the three warships were quite terrifying. The Nakajima was even worse than its previous companions. A row of holes was blasted out of the entire right side of the hull almost instantly, and the sea water was flowing crazily between the rolled steel plates. Flooding into the hull, the right chord of the entire ship tilted almost instantly to be flush with the sea surface.

The Japanese were stunned by this sudden attack, but when they saw our warships speeding towards the Nakajima, they understood that we were planning to break through the encirclement from here, but they didn't have many more warships than us. , and now there is still one ship that has been beaten to a disability. Even if I want to do something, I feel a little powerless.

Dragging its injured body, the Conch followed the Sea Dog and the Medal and rushed towards the Nakajima. The Nakajima lost power and could not move at all, so it could only "guard" its position and shoot desperately in the hope of getting more victims. Yes, it's a pity that their hull was tilted too much and their shooting was greatly affected. Except for the Conch, which was unfortunately hit by another shot, no one was encountered.

The captain on the Conch shouted loudly: "Tell the Medal to ignore the formation, speed up and rush forward to knock off the Nakajima for me."

"What?" The captain of the Medal immediately shouted excitedly when he saw this order: "Haha, it's time to make a great contribution! Order the engine room to activate all emergency power, run as fast as you can, and everything will be there The artillery positions concentrated their firepower to hit me in the middle of the island."

As the Conch slowed down, the Japanese quickly discovered the crazily accelerating Medal, and their firepower quickly focused on it. However, since the distance between the two sides was not far away, and the Medal had activated its emergency power, the Medal rushed forward. The Japanese only had time to fire two rounds before reaching the vicinity of the Nakajima, and more than half of the shells actually hit the sea. After all, it was too close to the Nakajima and the Medal was too fast to aim.

Just when the Medal was about to collide with the Nakajima, the Conch's front main gun suddenly fired again, and all three magical shells actually hit the middle section of the Nakajima. Three large holes were blown out of the middle section of the Nakajima's hull and the upper island bridge structure, and the middle section of the hull made a distorted sound due to excessive force. The captain of the Nakajima was knocked to the ground. Before he could get up, he heard the observer standing at the window scream loudly. Following the captain, he felt himself flying, or the ship was flying. The Nakajima was thrown up more than a foot high from the water. The main beam of the hull could no longer withstand the huge force and broke into two pieces. Without the support of the main structure, the steel plates of the hull were easily torn apart like finger blades. The entire ship was bent at a strange angle from the middle and then suddenly broke. The Medal rushed over from the broken place and was divided into two. Half of the hull was squeezed to both sides. When the Medal rushed past, the vortex at the stern accelerated the sinking of the Nakajima.

For more than a minute, there were only bubbling bubbles and a lot of floating objects on the sea surface.

The crew on the Medal was about to celebrate when they suddenly heard a loud bang from behind. Many people who had nothing to do rushed to the side of the ship and looked back, only to see the bow of the Conch raised high. , and the stern of the ship was billowing smoke, obviously suffering heavy damage.

On the Conch, I said to the captain: "You can't play like this anymore. You have tried your best."

I don't want to delay the business. Now I order the Sea Dog and the Medal to wait for the enemy to catch up and turn together to cooperate with the Conch to seize the T-shaped crosshead position to block the enemy. "

"Understood." The correspondent quickly began to signal.

"Are you planning to fight the Japanese here?" the captain asked.

I shook my head. "The Conch has been beaten to such a bad state, why do you want to fight in a decisive battle? I just want to find a good position to take advantage of our artillery. I will leave this to you for the time being, and I will lighten your burden."

"Huh?" Before the captain understood what I meant, he saw me walking to the side of the ship and jumping off, but he was not worried. As the leader of the guild and number one in the overall combat power list in the game, my equipment attributes are no secret. So the captain also knows that I can dive, and he doesn't have to worry about my safety in this kind of battle.

"Little Dragon Girl." I called as soon as I got out of the water. Although Shenlong can fly, they are still considered aquatic creatures. At least the underwater speed of Little Dragon Girl is definitely much faster than torpedoes. People on the sea only saw a white track rushing towards the Japanese fleet.

Japan also noticed the tracks on the water. Some players who specialized in underwater combat immediately jumped into the sea water, but they soon discovered that they had been fooled.

"Ah... help!" The first player who jumped down instantly fell into a huge whirlpool and was dragged to the bottom of the sea in an instant. I was guarding the exit of the whirlpool, and whenever I saw the stunned player appearing, I would go up to rescue him. One knife, anyway, most people will be stunned for a while after passing through the vortex. At this time, they have almost no ability to resist.

After killing the crew members who took the initiative to enter the water, I quickly dived under the largest battleship, then pulled out Eternity and swam to its propeller and inserted the Eternal-Changing Super Broadsword into the propeller. The steel used in shipbuilding is just an ordinary material, incomparable even to the swords of ordinary players. My eternal weapon cuts through other people's weapons like tofu, and the propeller is easily broken like a bean brain. It follows me and drives at the stern of the ship. A hole was made, Xiao Longnu put it away and got in by herself.

Japanese warships don't have four propulsion ports like ours. They only have two propellers. After losing one, the speed of the warship slows down significantly. Moreover, due to uneven propulsion, the hull always goes off track. As a result, the ship's People had to use the rudder to maintain the course, but of course this would seriously affect the ship's speed. As a result, the battleship's speed was not even one-third of its normal speed. The Tianyou, which had lost its normal ship speed, was actively ignored by our warships and became a backup target. The two fastest warships next to it quickly became a firepower testing ground and were bombarded to a mess in the blink of an eye. The ship is not much better than the one behind it.

After I entered the battleship, I started to move upward. Originally, Japanese battleships had watertight doors. Although the lower cabin was penetrated by me, water would not enter at all due to the principle of air pressure balance. However, as I went up, I compromised the airtightness of the hull. Everything was completely destroyed, and the rear part of the battleship, which had lost its pressure balance, quickly filled with water. Soon the bow was raised to the sky, so that the turret on the front deck could not fire normally at all.

Nobunaga, the ghost-hand, loudly asked the captain from his position: "What happened? Weren't we not hit? Why are we sinking?"

"It's not a matter of being shot. Someone invaded the inside of the hull from the bottom. He must have destroyed the sealed cabin when he came in."

"You mean someone's coming up?"

The captain nodded, then suddenly asked incredulously into the phone, then turned to look at Nobunaga Ghost Hands again and reported nervously: "I just received the report, the one who came up is Ziri."

"What?" Ghost Hand Nobunaga suddenly stood up from his position. "Why is he here?"

"I think his purpose is probably the same as ours!"

Ghost-hand Nobunaga lowered his head and thought for a moment and said: "I'll leave it to you, I'll go down and stop him. You immediately send someone down from other passages to the bottom of the ship to block the hole. We need to drive to the island as soon as possible."

"But President, will this bring Ziri to the island?"

"Exchanging attributes requires magic crystals. It's useless for him to go up alone? Besides, if I can't go up, won't everything be in vain?"

"I understand, please be careful." The captain turned around and ordered the crew to repair the hull, while Nobunaga Ghost-Hand quickly ran down to the bottom cabin under the leadership of a crew member.

A few minutes later I stood at the door of a heavily armored cabin and started studying. Generally speaking, the only thing on the ship that can have this level of protection is either the ammunition depot or the power room, but the location of this cabin is a bit strange. It seems that the above two things are unlikely to appear in this location, so I am very happy that it is installed A treasure trove of treasures. "Hey, the treasure house I discovered always has only one end." I said to myself proudly as I took the car and transformed it into the shape of a can opener. Then I pushed it against the pressure door and pressed it inward. It was very... Eternally inserted it easily, but just as I was about to pull it down, I suddenly felt a strong wind pressing down from behind. I quickly lowered my head and rolled backwards. There was a crisp sound in front of me. When I looked up, I only saw four more claw marks on the pressurized door I planned to cut open just now.

"Ghost-hand Nobunaga, you are becoming more and more inhuman now!"

"Huh, as long as I can kill you, it doesn't matter what you become." Ghost-hand Nobunaga suddenly started running forward, followed him and suddenly squatted down and rolled over. I threw eternity on that door because I had dodged Nobunaga's attack. Now there was nothing that could absolutely suppress his attack, so I had no choice but to jump up. After my body was off the ground, I pushed my feet to both sides and pressed against the wall of the aisle to fix myself in mid-air. Ghost-hand Nobunaga rolled under me and spread out, but he only heard the sound of me jumping but didn't see where I jumped. He was looking for me in front and behind. I retracted my legs above his head and my body suddenly began to fall. At the same time, the blade claws of both hands popped out, and a cross slash was struck towards the ghost-hand Nobunaga's head. Ghost-hand Nobunaga was not slow to react. He quickly pushed against the wall and stood up from the ground. I slashed with a cross and slashed all over, causing sparks to fly on the ground. Ghost-hand Nobunaga took the opportunity to come up and kick me in the back. But the half-moon behind me suddenly fell off and spun around behind me. If Nobunaga really wanted to step down, he would have to be prepared to lose legs.

Seeing that the attack was hopeless, Nobunaga quickly retracted his legs and retreated, while I stood up again with my support on the ground. I turned around and stretched out my hand towards Eternity. Eternity stuck on the door immediately flew away from the door panel and flew into my hand. At the same time, it turned into four parts in mid-air. Two of the parts turned into two daggers and fell into my palm. The remaining two parts The two parts are respectively covered on the blade claws of my hands.

Ghost Hand Nobunaga has fought with me so many times that he has some understanding of my eternity. As soon as he saw eternity in my hand, he immediately turned back several times to distance himself from me, but I also know the role of eternity. He wouldn't let him get what he wanted. Just when Nobunaga turned back, I followed him.

The pace turned over, and as soon as Nobunaga stood up, he saw me t3t in front of him. This guy was not slow to react. He pulled the hatch next to him and blocked it in front of him, but the eternal sharpness was unquestionable. The claw I followed directly penetrated the hatch and put the ghost-hand Nobunaga's chest steel armor. Three long claw marks were drawn. The ghost-hand Nobunaga was scratched and quickly stepped back. I turned my wrist and hooked the door panel and pulled it back violently. I heard a squeaking sound and the door was pulled directly from the bulkhead by me. Throwing away the hatch, I rushed towards Nobunaga Nobunaga again. Nobunaga retreated up the stairs in panic and I followed closely.

"Go to hell!" As soon as I rushed up the stairs, I saw a sharp blade coming through the wind. The ghost-handed Nobunaga actually found someone to trick me. Unfortunately, his movements were a little slow, and I directly caught it with both hands. The blade, the hand wrapped in eternity will not be injured by the weapon, but the opponent's weapon is not so lucky. I pinched the blade and with a little force, I heard a ping sound and the blade broke into three pieces. Ghost Hand Nobunaga originally planned to come back to support the guy who attacked me, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the broken blade I threw over. He quickly lowered his head, and the broken blade flew past his head. Ghost-Hand Nobunaga looked at the broken blade that flew past with lingering fear, then turned back and rushed towards me. At this time, I had already pushed the guy who attacked me to the ground in front of Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and made a sword with my palm. The claws dug into his chest and pulled out his heart.

Ghost Hand Nobunaga didn't have any reaction because his member was killed. He just took the time to kill me, but I took the heart and smashed him directly. By the time Ghost-Handed Nobunaga got up, I had already turned eternity into a long blade and rushed towards him. Just now, it was difficult to use weapons in the narrow cabin, so I divided the eternity into four parts and used them separately. But now it's different on the deck. Compared with four weapons, I still like to be able to concentrate the attack power. A large weapon based on one point.

Seeing Nobunaga rushing towards me, he quickly rolled to the side. I slashed my sword on the deck and penetrated directly. Nobunaga immediately rolled back and kicked the side of the eternal sword. As a result, I was knocked away by the force of his kick, and he himself was also knocked away by the lightning attack attached to Eternity.

Although I was also shaken away, I only received a kick. Unlike Nobunaga, who received an electric shock, I reacted faster. I stretched out my hand towards Eternity, and the Eternity stuck in the deck shook a few times before it came out and returned to my hand. I waved Eternity in the air a few times and then walked towards Nobunaga, who was still twitching on the ground. . I walked up to Ghost-Handed Nobunaga and held the Eternal Sword with its tip down in my hand and raised it above my head. I was about to plunge it in when I suddenly heard a Japanese player shouting from the side: "President, I'm here to save you!"

When I heard the sound, I turned around and saw a man carrying a long cylinder facing me. Before I could figure out what it was, I saw something fly out of the tip of the thing and hit me directly. my chest, followed by a bang, and I was instantly thrown from the rear of the ship to the bow by a huge force. I stopped after smashing a secondary gun at the front.

Seeing me fall into a pile of metal, the player immediately jumped up with excitement. "Haha, I killed Ziri! I killed Ziri!"

"Oh? Do you think so?" I lifted off the steel plate that was pressing on me and stood up staggeringly from the fort. However, my entire front was smoking, and there was a large area of ​​black on my chest. It seemed that I had just The thing the guy used was quite powerful. If the mercury shield and the Queen's Zerg energy shield hadn't helped me block it, the Dragon Suit might not have been able to block such an attack. Although I didn’t see it clearly just now, it felt like it was a bazooka-like weapon used against battleships. Anyway, it didn’t seem to be used to hit people, because the thing was quite large, and at the speed of the player in the game, it would be normal under normal circumstances. It was almost impossible to get hit. I only got hit by a sneak attack because I had no place to dodge on the ship and because my attention was not on the opponent. It would be awesome if that thing could hit me if I was prepared!

When the players on the opposite side heard that I was fine, they did not freeze and quickly began to urge the players behind me to help. As a result, those two people took advantage of the time when I was stuck by the steel plate and stuffed another ammunition into the back of the thing. As a result, I just When I got up, I saw something spitting flames flying towards me.

"Spiritual Wall."

A light curtain with a pale purple light suddenly appeared in front of me. The thing directly hit the light curtain, followed by a burst of earth-shaking explosions. The power was at least ten times greater than the last time. If they had just If you hit me with this kind of thing, I would definitely be dead, but now I have deployed the mental wall, plus the mercury shield and Zerg energy shield behind it, it consumes most of the explosive power, and I also take advantage of this last opportunity. He held the Demonic Dragon Shield in front of him. Although the power of the explosion was terrifying, I persisted, at the cost of losing one-third of my magic power and nearly half of my health. To be honest, this is the first time I have been hurt so much by a weapon that is not the player's own power. I have never been hit directly by an old-fashioned naval gun so badly, but I was relieved after the smoke dissipated. I saw that except for where I was standing on the deck, all the area behind me had been melted into molten steel by the explosion. A large piece of the side of the huge battleship was burned as if it had been bitten by something.

Ghost Hand Nobunaga was also shocked when he saw this result. He angrily kicked the player who fired the cannon away. "Who asked you to install the magic crystal steam bomb?"

My ears are quite good, and even though Ghost Hand Nobunaga only had one sentence, I learned a lot of information. If nothing else, the thing just now should be a weapon powered by magic crystal, but just from the name, I don't know whether the magic crystal is used for propulsion or directly used as explosives. As we all know, magic crystals not only have amazing explosive power but are also extremely unstable. We have not considered making magic crystal shells before, but we gave up because of the instability of magic crystals. The magic crystal cannon currently seen in "Zero" is actually an energy weapon. Its basic principle is to extract the energy of the magic crystal to create a semi-material quantum energy group and then launch it to cause detonation damage. However, this The result of the method is too complicated, so the magic crystal cannon is not only large in size, but also has a relatively limited single explosive power. After all, energy conversion has high requirements on the converter. Excessive output will quickly melt the conversion core, so the magic crystal cannon is strictly It is impossible to make full use of the explosive power in the magic crystal. Of course, directly letting the magic crystal explode near the target is the best way to detonate, but the problem is that the physical magic crystal shell propelled by gunpowder will explode in the barrel at the moment of launch, and cannot be fired normally at all, even if we use Many buffering methods still solve this problem. The ancient trebuchets could fire special shells made of magic crystals after processing. However, the problem was that the range and accuracy of the trebuchets were really unsatisfactory, so we later gave up on the research on magic crystal shells.

I thought that little Japan actually developed a practical magic crystal artillery shell, and the t is quite large. I don’t know how this thing works. If we can find out, the artillery of our guild is at least powerful without changing the existing structure. It can be turned over several times. Such an important invention cannot be given up and must be obtained.

Ghost Hand Nobunaga may have also realized that he had spilled the beans. He looked towards me nervously and found that I was looking at him with shining eyes. He realized that something was wrong almost instantly, but it was already too late.

"Darts." A white light flashed, and Nobunaga Ghost Hands quickly turned around to pounce on the box containing ammunition. As a result, the white light grabbed one from the box before him and ran away. Nobunaga Ghost Hands quickly got up and pointed at me. He shouted: "Come on, we must get it back."

The Fenglong space suddenly opened, and Fei Dart jumped in with the thing he had snatched back. I looked at the ghost-handed Nobunaga proudly: "I want to see how you grab it?"

Ghost-Hand Nobunaga glanced back at the box behind him, then turned back to me and said, "Huh, even if you take one away, you won't be able to study our technology."

"That's not necessarily the case." After I said that, I turned around and jumped into the sea. Before falling into the water, I also threw a spherical object onto the side of the ship. When Nobunaga saw the thing, he knew it was not a good thing and quickly pulled the one beside him. People jumped into the cabin together, and then heard a loud bang, leaving a big hole in the thick deck of the battleship.

After falling into the water, I did not leave immediately but quickly attached a row of spherical objects like before on the side of the ship. After placing these objects, I quickly summoned the little dragon girl and she swam far away. "Hey, bye bye Nobunaga Ghost Hands." I smiled and crushed the crystal in my hand, and then I heard a bang. The entire port side of the Tianyou jumped upwards and almost overturned the entire ship. Then, The side of the ship crashed back into the sea, causing waves half a day high.

"President, we are dying." When Nobunaga Ghost-Shou returned to the bridge, the captain told him directly.

"What's going on now?"

The captain pointed forward and said: "Right now, we and the Red Ghost are the only ones barely floating on the sea. But Zi Ri just blasted the side of our hull. Now our body is tilted very badly. It's probably not going to hold up." It won’t be long!”

"Where's the Frost Rose Alliance?" "We only sank that destroyer. The deck of Frost's ship is too thick, and its protective capabilities are generally more than three times that of ours. Even a destroyer is equipped with weapons no less than those of a battleship. Armor, if we hadn’t just hit the ammunition depot, we wouldn’t have been able to destroy this super protective warship!”

"Damn it!" Nobunaga's ghost hand slapped the hatch hard, and then said as if he had made some decision: "Don't keep it any more. Just now Ziri snatched a magic crystal steam rocket, I'm not sure about China Whether people can study something from it, but we should not underestimate the Chinese. Even if we cannot copy it, the Chinese will definitely understand that we have new weapons, so our plan can’t be hidden for long, so we might as well take advantage of it now Cheap."

"Understood." The captain suddenly said to the first mate: "Instruct each gun position to start using gasified magic crystal shells."

"Ah? Do you really want to use it?" The first mate looked at the captain and Ghost Hand Nobunaga in surprise.

Ghost Hand Nobunaga nodded: "This is an order."

"Yes." The first mate immediately began to convey the order, and the two remaining Japanese warships quickly loaded gasified magic crystal shells.

On the other side, I had just climbed up the side of the Conch Sea ship and looked up at the sea. I saw that the Sea Dog had disappeared and the Medal had almost no obvious damage. On the contrary, the Conch was bombarded with craters and looked like it would sink at any time.

"President, you are finally back!" The captain on the Conch looked very excited when he saw me.

"How is it going?"

"The Sea Dog sank, but the Japanese's situation is much worse than ours. We should win this battle!"

I nodded and was about to speak when I suddenly heard a loud bang from the side. A huge fireball suddenly appeared on the Medal, which had not been damaged. At the same time, the entire battleship was broken into two parts. The middle section of the ship was sinking rapidly toward the sea, while the bow and stern were rising into the sky. We could only watch helplessly as the Medal quickly slid into the water, not knowing what to do.

"What's going on?" the captain asked loudly.

"It's a shell." The correspondent said: "The lookout said it was a shell fired by the enemy's main gun, but it didn't hit the ammunition depot just now. I just don't know why it was so powerful."

Since the Bank controls the nearly unlimited high-quality steel production base in Steel City, we never economize on the use of steel. All the warships of our guild use an excessive amount of special steel as their shells. The result of this is that all the warships of our guild have more than three times the protection of Japanese warships. When the USS Shine battleship was attacked by a torpedo ship off the coast of Japan, the twenty torpedoes in the hull were still visible and it persisted for a long time. However, such a battleship was actually shot into two pieces by the Japanese battleship's main gun. Such power is really unacceptable to us. If a Japanese warship with a relatively thin hull is bombarded, it can be understood that the Japanese warship has more gunpowder charges, but it is our warship that can be sunk. This is definitely not something that can be done with a lot of gunpowder, unless the Japanese Human naval guns have a caliber of more than one meter.

"Haha, the effect of this shell is really good." All Japanese players who saw the explosion scene excitedly discussed the shell just now. After all, the power of sinking a medium-sized cruiser with one shot is not something you often see.

"Don't stop, keep firing, and destroy the remaining one." Seeing the effect of the vaporized magic crystal shells, Nobunaga, a good master, quickly ordered to continue shooting to expand the results.

When I saw the Japanese warship turning its turret, I immediately shouted to the captain: "Abandon the ship."

"Ah?" The captain didn't realize why I shouted such an order.

When the captain didn't respond, I yelled anxiously: "This is an order, abandon the ship immediately."

Although he was still confused, an order was an order. The captain quickly ordered: "Abandon the ship, everyone abandon the ship."

It can be said that my order was timely, but after all, everyone's evacuation speed still couldn't keep up with the speed of other people's artillery shells. At most, one-fifth of the people on our ship ran out. On the Conch, there was a shell similar to the one that sank the Medal before. big fireball. As expected, the Conch's armor could not withstand the power of such shells. With just one shot, our Conch broke into two pieces and began to sink. Many people who had just jumped into the water were injured by the sinking battleship. The eddies carried it to the bottom of the ocean. The battle situation that had originally been reversed was completely reversed because of two shells. I looked at the rocket that the dart had snatched back and the crew members floating on the sea nearby, and said to myself, "I should be so lucky to have encountered such a failure!"
