After moving a brick that was pressing down on the stone wall, Zhuifeng looked at the scene thoughtfully.

This space is so weird. According to the rules of the normal world, the building fragments should sink into the water, but now these ruins seem to be affected by some special force and are as flat as the ground.

"The buildings float on the water and will not sink to the bottom of the sea even if they are destroyed...Are we on land or on water?" Zhuifeng murmured to himself.

Then, Zhuifeng's ears shook, as if he heard some noise, and he clenched the large sword in his hand with a serious expression.

When he saw that the person coming was Nagato, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked towards him.

"Lord Nagato, we have not found any enemy bodies or traces, you..."

Nagato hummed, and seeing that Zhuifeng was at a loss for what to do with his empty right arm, he explained, "Don't worry, I'm fine. The missing arm won't affect my combat effectiveness..."

"The command center lost the other party's information on the map after I opened fire with Warspite. We don't know whether it sank or not, but to be on the safe side, I need to confirm whether that guy is alive or dead."

Regardless of whether that guy is a Breaker or not, with his ability to release light beams, they cannot let him survive.

Enemies that can fire beams are too dangerous, especially in the case of a sneak attack. If you are not careful, the fleet will suffer heavy losses. Bremerton is the best example.

Just as the Sakura Empire shipgirls continued to search for traces of the enemy in the ruins, Nagato suddenly received a message from Zhenhai.

"The frontal battle is over. The enemy is weaker than we thought. We have won a great victory."

Hearing this, Nagato looked up at the scene in the sky and found that there were only a few carrier-based aircraft left out of the previously dense black mass, and they were quickly shot down. An expression of joy appeared on his face.

"We have not found any trace of the enemy either. We have tentatively confirmed that the ship sank in the previous bombardment..."

"As the flagship leading this temporary fleet, I now request a rest from the command center."

Now that the battle is over, Nagato will have to take some time to repair his arm, and he can also use this time to discuss the next strategic plan with the headquarters.

"Allowed to rest, Ajax has notified the other ship girls to approach your direction... Overall, the first battle was a success. It seems that this space is not as dangerous as we thought."

Even though he couldn't see Zhenhai's current appearance, Nagato could hear the other party's joy from his voice, and his slightly chubby face was filled with a smile.

Yes, getting a "good start" is something to be happy about, and the losses of their fleet were very low. Except for Bremerton which was attacked by surprise, there were almost no casualties.

With the physique of the ship girl, ordinary injuries are nothing at all. As long as she uses the Red Tip without considering the energy loss, she can be repaired quickly.

Moreover, with the arrival of Shokaku and the others, the weakest point of this fleet has been made up. The power that the three aircraft carrier girls can bring is still very substantial.

In addition, Nagato himself and Warspite, who are both good at battleships, are escorted by the St. Louis and the research ship Roan, and cooperate with this group of destroyer squadrons...

A fleet of this size can indeed explore Atlantis in depth, and it also has the confidence to defeat the Sirens when facing them.

"The command center can only contact your fleet now, and can only rely on you to gain knowledge of this space, so you won't have much time to rest."

Nagato naturally understood what Zhenhai was thinking, and immediately replied: "It doesn't matter, it only takes an hour, and we can set off again after an hour."

"That's good. The headquarters still needs to decide on the next strategic deployment. I won't bother you anymore, Nagato. Have a good rest..."

"Nagato! The red dot appears near you again. That guy is not dead yet!"

Before Nagato could recover from Zhenhai's sudden warning, a shrill and crazy laugh rang in her ears.

"Hahahaha, you actually made me so embarrassed..."

With a tense heart, Nagato turned his head to look at the place where the laughter came from. When he saw the pale figure, his pupils contracted.

Covering his eyes that were constantly bleeding, the pale figure's face turned crazy: "Nagato, the flagship of the Sakura Empire, hahahaha, did you think I sank in the previous bombardment?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little hurt... and next, I'll tear you all apart."

As purple lightning emanated from around the figure, a huge steel ship suit with spikes appeared around the pale figure and merged with her. Chains continued to emanate from it and condensed into three roaring mechanical dragons.

The waves of terror and madness spread out from her, sweeping up everything around her, while Nagato, with her long hair still blown away, stood there with narrowed eyes and an expressionless face.

After everything was over, Nagato slowly said, "I know you. You appeared on Vanis Island and attacked the Fifth Carrier, and you ended up being the test subject Alpha who died under the commander's sword."

Hearing that Nagato was not afraid and even casually recounted his experience of being killed by Xia Bai, Tester α's face was grim and he said angrily: "Commander... don't mention him to me! I was just too careless at the time..."

"But in reality, regardless of whether you are careless or not, you are no match for the commander, and you will not be a match for me either."

Hearing this, Tester α looked at Nagato deeply and said mockingly, "Hahaha, as the flagship of the Sakura Empire, you should first fix your right arm."

"Being capable is a good thing, but being overconfident will only lead you into the abyss... little fox."

Without continuing the verbal exchange, Nagato silently unfolded his ship suit and pointed the muzzle at Tester α.

"That's right, I am enough... Although I am not as strong as New Jersey and Hu Teng, I am also confident in my own strength."

"I will let you see the power of the flagship and the Son of God."

The source of fear was unknown, but now that he knew the other party was Tester Alpha, Nagato no longer had any hesitation in his heart.

The reason she became the flagship of Sakura Empire was not just because of Mikasa's appointment, but because she defeated all the ship girls of Sakura Empire with her strength to take that position.

Chapter 260: Nagato outsmarts the tester

“Why…why on earth!”

He controlled the three dragon heads to attack Nagato one after another, but was easily avoided. The nonchalant expression on the opponent's face made Tester α very angry.

"Why do you keep avoiding me? Are you looking down on me?"

With a roar, the barbs on Tester α's body popped out, blocking Nagato's movement path, and at the same time, three dragon heads smashed down at the same time.

"I've already said it, it's enough to deal with you and me alone."

The secondary guns fired continuously and smashed the barbs. Nagato jumped high to face the dragon head and avoided the attack. At the same time, half of the main guns fired continuously and hit the tester α steadily.

The defenseless test subject α fell backwards, but quickly regained his balance, waving the chain dragon head and saying mockingly: "Your attack can't penetrate my armor at all."

"I had no intention of penetrating your armor."

After falling into the water, Nagato moved his remaining left arm a few times and said seriously: "The previous attack was just a response to you, proving the power of the Child of the Sakura Empire."

"This is a battlefield, not a place for an honor duel... So next, I will fight you as the chief flagship."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pale pink halo quickly spread out around him with Nagato as the center.

"As the flagship..."

Just as Test Subject α was wondering what this meant, the disc-shaped ship suit beneath her suddenly exploded, and she lost her balance and fell to the right.

"Is this... a torpedo!?"

"Yes, it is a torpedo. You don't think I will really fight you one-on-one."

As Nagato finished speaking, more than a dozen figures quickly came in front of her. The leader, Zhuifeng, drew his large sword and said coldly to Tester α: "If you want to get close to Lord Nagato, you have to get past us first."

Seeing that the destroyers of the Sakura Empire had all drawn their swords and formed a siege net to surround them, Tester α could not help but shout: "Return the Sakura Empire flagship, Nagato, you have no moral integrity!"

"Haha~"

With a sneer, Nagato said calmly: "The Son of God has his own way of fighting, and the flagship has its own way of fighting... and as the flagship, I will naturally defeat the minority with my superior numbers."

"Besides, wasn't your previous sneak attack also unethical?"

This is a battlefield, not an arena. Only fools like New Jersey would do a one-on-one fight. Nagato believes that since time is running out, the sooner the opponent is defeated, the better.

The so-called duel glory is completely meaningless to her, and she doesn't need to prove her strength by fighting the enemy 1-on-1.

The small mouth opened, Nagato raised his left arm, and shouted: "Everyone in the Sakura Empire, target tester α, go all out!"

"Understood!"xN

Following Nagato's orders, the destroyers began to circle around Tester α, releasing a wave of torpedoes when they found an opportunity, and occasionally slashing forward with the swords in their hands.

With the power of the flagship, the destroyers moved quickly and strangely, and their agility made it impossible for Tester α to see where the attack was launched from, so he was forced to endure the torpedo bombardment.

Indeed, the strength of Tester α is much stronger than that of the Ship Girl, not to mention that she is now accepting the power of the [Host].

But this strength is only relative. Nagato may not be her opponent in a head-on battle, but after releasing his own flagship capabilities and cooperating with a group of destroyers, it is more than just addition.

With the dual support of tactics and encirclement formations, although the torpedoes could not completely penetrate the armor of Tester α, the elusive attacks also caused her great psychological pressure.

If this continues...perhaps she will be dragged to death here by these Sakura Empire ship girls.

Taking this into consideration, Tester α manipulated the Dragon Head Guard to guard him in a defensive posture, and the mental computer in his brain began to analyze the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

After careful calculations, Tester α found only one possibility to win, which was to defeat Nagato and make the flagship's ability disappear.

But it is not so easy to defeat Nagato, the top ship girl in the battleship. Even if the opponent has lost an arm, it will not be so easy to take down Nagato.

What's more, there are so many destroyers looking for her flaws. Once her movements are too big, she will be attacked by small-caliber main guns and torpedoes.

This posture gave the test subject α great strength and heavy armor, but it greatly reduced her mobility, making her self-defeating when facing a formation like the Sakura Empire.

After taking dozens of torpedoes, Tester α took advantage of the thick smoke to cover his body and controlled the chain dragon head to rush towards Nagato.

Nagato dodged the attack by slightly turning sideways. The main gun fired continuously, and Qing shouted, "I expected your idea a long time ago. Give up. My reinforcements will be here soon."

"Once War-weary and Shokaku arrive, you won't have any chance at all."

"..."

Damn, she was so excited that she forgot that there were more than just the few ship girls in front of her, and the main force was still heading in this direction.

Facing the bombardment of Warspite and Nagato's main guns and three aircraft carriers, no matter how thick the armor is, it will be penetrated by such an attack.

The madness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and Tester α looked deeply at Nagato, with fire emanating from the dragon head's mouth.

"You've reminded me that if I continue to fight with you here, my fate may not be good... I don't want to lose my new body easily for the time being."

"Let's end this battle here for now. As long as we are in this space, we will meet again."

After saying this, the dragon head sprayed a fierce beam of light towards the sea surface. The sea water was evaporated by the high temperature, and thick water vapor quickly covered the entire ruins.

By the time the steam slowly dissipated, Test Subject α had already disappeared.

After making sure that the other party had escaped, Nagato let out a long sigh, his tense face relaxed, and he sat down on the sea.

"Huh... Fortunately she was frightened, otherwise I really wouldn't have any way to deal with it."

The moment he saw Test Subject α, Nagato quietly contacted the command center and asked how he should respond.

No wise siren is to be trifled with. Even when facing tester α in her prime, she didn't dare to say that she could definitely win, not to mention that she was missing an arm at this time.

At Amagi's reminder, Nagato adopted the empty city plan, pretending to be very powerful and able to easily defeat Tester Alpha, putting her under psychological pressure.

Then, when the group fighting tactics are effective, hint at the arrival of reinforcements and persuade the other side to retreat.

Fortunately, tester α was still cautious as a Siren, not as crazy as imagined. He left immediately when he found something was wrong, otherwise they would have been in trouble this time.

Chapter 261 It's just a game

When Essex and Warspite arrived, they saw Nagato sitting on the water, gasping for breath, while the test subject α mentioned by the command center was nowhere to be seen.

Without hastily disturbing Nagato who was closing his eyes to recover his arm, Shokaku quickly walked up to Zhuifeng and asked softly, "We received the news from the headquarters and rushed here as soon as possible... Where is Test Subject Alpha?"

To be honest, after learning that Tester α appeared on Nagato's side, Shokaku was very worried, and secretly cursed himself for being a jinx and bringing bad luck to his own flagship.

After all, she had fought with the other party on Vanis Island and was beaten particularly badly by Tester Alpha, so she was very clear about that guy's combat power.

With a tense face, Zhuifeng said: "Under the might of Lord Nagato, Test Subject α has already escaped."

"Ran away?"

Muttering this word, Shokaku didn't quite believe that Test Subject α had escaped because of Nagato's 'power', but he didn't pursue it any further. He lifted up his clothes, slowly sat on the water, and said with a smile: "We have won a glorious victory in this battle, right?"

Hearing this, Essex nodded, his tense body relaxed, and he also sat on the water, his resolute expression softened a lot.

"Well, although there were many setbacks along the way, we did win the battle. We also successfully contacted the headquarters and learned some information about Atlantis."

"We will be the main 'arrowhead' to explore this space, find the lost companions, and go to what Empres said--"

"The Tower of Deception."

In addition to winning, their biggest benefit was that they were no longer confused about Atlantis and now had a clear combat goal.

Essex believes that now that the initial exploration phase is over, as long as the fleet has rested, they can move deeper, or go to other areas mentioned by the command.

"Not bad, Essex, you can think of so much."

At some point, Warspite came to Essex's side, patted her on the shoulder, and asked curiously, "I remember Enterprise seemed to say that he didn't want to be the leader of the White Eagles anymore. Essex, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Essex was not the kind of ship girl who was good at speaking. She was a little uncomfortable with Warspite's familiar attitude. She said slowly, "I don't know much about Enterprise-senpai. She should have her own plans."

This sentence actually shows that Essex has no special opinion on the position of White Eagle leader. For her, anyone can be in that position.

With a gossipy smile on his face, War-weary asked, "Is it because of our commander? Speak boldly, we are all one of our own here."

Gossip is a tradition of the royal camp. Except for the monarch, almost every royal ship girl is interested in this kind of thing, and the old lady is naturally the same.

The cold aura disappeared instantly, and Essex stammered, "Please, please don't joke, Miss War-weariness. What does this have to do with him..."

"If you become the leader of the White Eagles, you will definitely have fewer opportunities to meet the Commander. Doesn't that matter to you?"
