Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

"I, the Fifth Aircraft, fought Zuikaku and left the Sakura Empire. From now on, I will only fight for the commander. The rest is up to you."

After venting his anger, Zuikaku followed the monarch's back and headed towards the battlefield.

At this time, Kaohsiung and Atago also stood up. Kaohsiung bowed slightly to Akagi and said solemnly, "As a warrior, I should understand your thoughts, but Lord Xiabai has done me a favor. I'm sorry."

"Look, Sister Kaohsiung, Akagi looks so ugly~"

"Stop talking! Atago."

Ignoring the murderous look on Akagi's face, the two of them headed to the battlefield together.

As if led by the actions of these people, more and more ship girls bowed to Akagi and followed the monarch's back. Some of them were friends with Xia Bai, while others had never seen him before.

Disobeying the flagship's orders would have serious consequences for the Sakura Empire, but they didn't want to think about it. They were thinking about retreating before even fighting. The ship girls were not so cowardly.

Soon, only Akagi's loyal followers were left by his side, and the others all headed towards the center of the battlefield without hesitation.

It was only then that Akagi reacted and asked Kaga in a low voice: "Did I...really do something wrong?"

"I don't know if it's right or not, but retreating without firing a shot is not something my sister would do."

"...Kaga, aren't you going? He is your commander, even without a mental link, you are still his ship girl."

"I'm waiting for the flagship to order us to attack." Looking at Akagi, Kaga said with a hint of sarcasm, "Could it be that you, sister, have really been affected by that strange mental power? Perhaps our sisterly relationship will be reversed in the future."

As soon as Kaga entered the mirror sea, she discovered that faint mental fluctuations were constantly affecting the fleet, but she did not speak up to remind them. Those who dared to come from the Sakura Empire were all experts and would not be easily affected by mental fluctuations. But who could have expected that Akagi would be affected as soon as they knew about it.

Even his personality has changed. He's thinking about retreating before the fight even begins, making himself lose the support of everyone. From now on, I'm afraid he will no longer be able to compete with Nagato for the position of chief flagship.

"You should continue to call me sister. I just got caught by mistake."

After being pointed out by Kaga, Akagi immediately reacted. She was indeed too obsessed with fighting for power and profit recently. The mental fluctuations seized on this greed and quickly spread its influence.

Originally, the influence should be deep-rooted and difficult to expel, but now Akagi has directly given up his obsession with the flagship, so his face has regained confidence, and he is flamboyant and crazy.

"Interesting, are you trying to use this little trick..." Staring at Qian Gong with her fiery red eyes, Akagi turned around and waved her little hand.

"Target--"

"A huge humanoid weapon ahead."

"Especially Sakura Fleet, all hands on deck!"

"I will get back everything I lost."

---------------------

Xia Bai endured the splitting headache and wiped the blood from his mouth. It was too stressful to use the mental induction system to control it.

Dodging a suicidal attack from a brass pillar, Innocence and Holiness shot back and smashed it into pieces, then quickly climbed to a higher altitude, trying to raise the battlefield as high as possible into the air.

The Sakura Empire fleet is coming. If Qian Gong were to attack them, he would be helpless in his current state. In order to prevent the group of ship girls from being annihilated, Xia Bai could only attract the attention of the floating weapons in this way.

As for the attention of the humble body, he said he could do nothing to help and could only pray that this strange-looking weapon would not take the ship girl seriously.

"Sterencus, are you not ready yet?" Xia Bai asked the arbitrator who had his eyes closed while taking advantage of the gap between them.

"It will take... a little... time."

With blood flowing out of his eyes, Xia Bai gritted his teeth and quickly changed direction in the air, flying towards Qian Gong's real body.

He could vaguely hear the fierce artillery fire in the sea below, especially the deafening roar of the "King's Gaze".

Chapter 122 Sharing the Pressure

Looking at the firepower coverage of the ship girls below, Innocence and Holiness quickly shook off her feathers to ensure that every ship girl could obtain the enhanced Shokaku ability.

Now that things have come to this, Xia Bai will not let them retreat. Now it seems too selfish to put all the responsibility of saving the world on himself. The ship girls have the right to choose their own battles.

"Don't attack Qiangong's main body, it will repair itself. Focus your firepower on attacking the brass pillar in the sky, it will multiply."

Hearing Xia Bai's voice, the monarch's heart condensed, and he waved his knight's sword and shouted, "Target, the floating weapon in the sky, fire!"

"Bang, bang, bang—"

The fleet needs a commander. Now that Akagi is avoiding the battle, it is natural for her, as the strongest ship girl, to take over the command.

As the monarch's orders were given, the ship girls shifted their attack targets one after another, pointed their guns at the sky, and fired a dense web of fire.

However, the results of the battle were not ideal. For the humble brass pillars, the speed at which the ship girls fired their artillery was too slow, and they had never heard of using naval guns to shoot down airplanes. What's more, these brass pillars were faster and more flexible than airplanes.

"I can't hit the target... Why do I encounter such an enemy that is beyond my understanding?" Complaining softly, Atago kept firing with the cannon behind him.

"Atago, you need to be calmer in the face of unexpected situations." Kaohsiung said without turning his head and drew out his sword.

Seeing this action, Atago said in disbelief: "Sister Kaohsiung, you are not going to chop her with a knife, are you?"

Compared with other lineups, the Sakura Empire is indeed better at close combat, but the brass pillar flying in the air is dazzling. No matter how Atago thinks, she feels that it is impossible to hit the brass pillar.

With her long and strong legs slightly bent, Kaohsiung closed her eyes and whispered, "I do want to do this."

"Turning decay into magic, with a clear mind and a calm heart, as long as you keep your faith, there is nothing you can't do."

Kaohsiung suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up, just in time to bump into an oncoming brass pillar. Despite the fact that the pillar was more than ten meters in size, the warrior was not at all panicked.

He twisted his body and swung it hard. With a sound of breaking through the air, the brass column was cut in half and fell vertically into the water.

After falling from the air and retracting the knife, Kaohsiung said calmly: "That's it. Just because the naval guns can't hit us doesn't mean we are helpless. Atago, you have to learn to think."

After saying that, she closed her eyes again, waiting for the next opportunity to attack. Her efficiency was very slow, but it was useful. Kaohsiung has always been a pragmatist.

"I think it's a bit exaggerated and not suitable." Covering her mouth, Atago muttered softly. Jumping to a height of more than ten meters is normal for the ship girls.

But there was something wrong with Kaohsiung jumping dozens of meters high and chopping down a huge brass pillar from the air. Could it be that honing one's swordsmanship could really make one stronger?

Thinking of this, Atago grasped the katana, looked up at the brass pillar that was constantly chasing after innocence and holiness, and shook her head in frustration.

Forget it. Not everyone can learn to have muscles like Sister Kaohsiung. Then Atago looked at Zuikaku who was staring at the brass pillar in confusion not far away, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

He ran quickly beside the other person and whispered something, only to see Zuikaku nodded with some embarrassment and released the carrier-based aircraft.

"drink!"

Standing on the fighter plane that had returned to its normal size, Atago took advantage of the high speed to fly past the group of brass pillars and chopped one of them into the water. Feeling the slightly numbness in her knuckles, she chuckled.

Afterwards, the ships deployed their equipment and chased the group of brass columns, firing continuously and achieving fruitful results.

If your muscles aren't good enough, you can make up for it with your brain. I'm standing on a carrier-based aircraft and chasing you, but I still can't hit you?

This kind of fantastic idea stunned the ship girls below. If Atago can do it, they can do it too.

So, with Zuikaku looking sad, the navy officially turned into the air force, and the ship girls all flew into the sky to chase the brass pillar.

She also wanted to go up, but operating a carrier-based aircraft is a delicate job, especially when both sides are moving at extremely high speeds. If she had enough fun fighting in the sky, the other ship girls would be shot down one after another in no time.

So for the sake of the overall situation, she could only quietly move away from the center of the battlefield and concentrate on operating the carrier-based aircraft.

"This action is too dangerous. Fortunately, that bastard Qiangong only chased me for some reason." Xia Bai was amazed by the actions of the Sakura Empire's ship girls, but at the same time he was a little worried.

Carrier-based aircraft are not as fast as brass pillars. If these things turn around to fight back, the Sakura Empire's "Air Force" will probably be cancelled as soon as it is established.

However, this way of fighting really relieved him of a lot of pressure. After witnessing the supreme humility, the horizons of the ship girls were broadened and they were no longer bound by the previous fighting methods.

"Shokaku."

"understood."

The two people who were of one mind and one body just exchanged a few words and decided on the next battle strategy. The armed Seraphs flew out quickly from their wings and actively fought back at the brass pillars.

Innocence and Holiness also used its high mobility to pull them away, firing continuously with the beam rifle in its hand.

At the same time, without stopping the actions in his hands, Xia Bai turned on the loudspeaker and began to give instructions.

"Keep your distance and don't attack the humble body without permission."

"Let's first clear out all these floating weapons that can multiply, and then see what Qian Gong will do."

"Everyone, the survival of the world depends on this battle..."

Before he finished speaking, the sky was suddenly filled with red and dark blue flames, which quickly burned the brass pillar like a cancer.

Soon the fire grew bigger and bigger, with constant crackling sounds of burning and twisting, and smoke filling the air until they were burned out.

"Oh~ It really works. I saw that Noshiro was able to cut it off, so I gave it a try. It seems that the defense of these things is not good."

"Sister...I advise you not to be so polite when you speak."

Cold and enthusiastic voices were heard, and Akagi and Kaga stood on a carrier-based plane, holding flaming Shikigami in their hands. It seemed that they were the ones who committed the large-scale arson and there was no way they could escape.

Jumping on the shoulders of the innocent and holy one, one on the left and one on the right, Akagi showed a crazy smile on his face.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"I'm very curious about the war you mentioned that concerns the survival of the world, but now is not the right time to ask. How about we deal with that big guy first and then have a long talk."

Hearing the voice, Xia Bai knew the other party's identity. Looking at the pillars of fire burning all over the sky, he exclaimed in his heart that this was unscientific.

Innocence and Holiness plus the fact that Stelhencus could not clear the brass pillars as fast as they multiplied, how come Akagi and Kaga destroyed all the troublesome brass pillars as soon as they arrived?

Didn’t Shokaku tell himself that these two together weren’t enough for the monarch to defeat?

Chapter 123 The painting style gradually becomes super

This was also Xia Bai's misunderstanding. With his intelligence, the strength he could understand generally referred to frontal combat. The stronger the firepower, the thicker the armor, and the more powerful the close combat, only then could he be considered powerful.

Who knew that Kaga and Akagi could set such a big fire and burn the brass pillar clean in an instant? Perhaps even they didn't expect that the fire they set was so powerful.

"Now what do we do, clean this big thing out with fire?"

Faced with Akagi's proposal, Xia Bai frowned. At that moment he really considered whether he should give it a try, but he immediately rejected it.

"Supreme Highness·Humbleness has an adaptive stance, and its weakness is crystallized in its chest, but if it cannot be knocked down with an extremely powerful attack, it will instead turn into its energy."

"Oh~ Then what should we do? It seems that you mean to defeat this monster called humility."

"Let's wait... For now, all we can do is wait and see what that guy will do."

Seeing Qian Gong standing still, as if he didn't care about his floating weapon being shot down, Chi Cheng was willing to continue like this. After all, as Xia Bai said, he could neither fight nor retreat.

After smacking his lips and sitting on the ground, Akagi leaned against the innocent and holy head and said without blushing or beating his heart: "I heard about your ability from Kaga."

"Are you interested in establishing a mental link with me? I can guarantee that it will be stronger than Shokaku's current form. Maybe there is a way."

Kaga, who was on the other side, heard this and immediately asked in a puzzled manner: "Sister, didn't you say..."

"This is a different time, and it's a different time. When faced with special situations, we naturally need to treat them specially." Akagi interrupted Kaga's thoughts of revealing the truth and knocked on the outer wall and continued, "Well, have you thought it through?"

Hearing this, Xia Bai looked at Xianghe in his arms and sought her advice, but Xianghe rolled his eyes at him and said sarcastically: "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, Commander, you decide for yourself."

After thinking seriously for a while, Xia Bai replied, "Let's talk about it when we have a chance. I'm not sure if I can change to an unfamiliar form before the battle, and it doesn't mean that you can build Akagi just because you want to."

A spiritual connection requires mutual acquaintance between both parties, or at least one party must have a passionate emotion and the other party must not reject it. He and Shokaku experienced the feeling of meeting a soulmate in the performance of the instrument.

As for the relationship with Dafeng, it was because that guy had a morbid love for him, and he was indeed worried about the other person's situation at that time.

To be honest, Xia Bai still doesn't know what Akagi looks like, and doesn't have any feelings towards her. I think Akagi is in almost the same situation, so the possibility of failure is very high.

His mental power is almost exhausted now. Using weapons will consume mental power. What if the Seven Dwarfs System is as big a consumer of mental power as the 'Freezing Jump Device'?

Besides, if he really had to choose a strong one, why not choose a monarch with obviously stronger firepower? Why did he have to choose Akagi? So after careful consideration, he refused.

"Really? Then let's talk about it when we have a chance." Seeing that the pointer behind Qian Gong changed its position and began to move, Akagi stood up and stretched, and the nine fox tails behind him stretched out in the wind.

"That guy has made a move. Should we continue to wait, or..."

Before he finished speaking, the innocent and holy body glowed with a blue light, and all the feathers disappeared, revealing a bare metal frame. At the same time, Akagi could still hear the mechanical sounds coming from inside.

"Spiritual power transmission is complete."

"Output restrictions lifted..."

"Innocent Sanctity, the seven dwarf star system is activated."

As the mechanical sounds disappeared, the entire cockpit of Innocence and Holiness changed. The inner walls turned white, the driver's seat slowly rose, and the position of the operating table was automatically adjusted.

When everything was completed, eight bare metal frames emitted fierce light, which eventually converged to form huge wings of light behind the Innocent and Holy.

"Sterencus, how are you?" Ignoring the sudden change, Xia Bai looked at the fallen arbitrator and said worriedly.

"Use your mental strength... take some time... the rest is up to you." Xia Bai responded reluctantly. The giant mechanical claw on Sternkus' arm disappeared. As mentioned before, she no longer had the ability to continue fighting.

"Seven Dwarfs...how are they?" There was an expectant look in Steliancus' eyes. They had placed all their hopes on this. If it was of no use, they would have no choice but to close their eyes and wait for death.

Seeing the slight expectation on Steliancus's cold face, Xia Bai quickly checked what the Seven Dwarfs System was on the operating table, and then answered hesitantly: "Uh... It's OK, you can rest assured."

Anyone could tell there was a perfunctory tone in these words, but Sternkus seemed to really believe Xia Bai. He closed his eyes with peace of mind, and his breathing became steady.

Seeing that she fell asleep, Xia Bai dared to sigh slightly. He made a wrong bet. The Seven Dwarf System could enhance and open the output limit of Innocence as much as possible. The data of all aspects of the body were more than twice as strong as before.
