I, Azure Commander!

"Good on you Wales! What's the point of hiding an Azuma account in the college competition, and an Azuma account whose training level is at least 110?"

Let alone those players, facing an opponent of this level, even if the deans rolled up their sleeves and went into battle themselves, they might not be able to defeat him, right?

This is really an outrageous opening to outrageous things - it's outrageous to the extreme!

Wales, on the other hand, was well aware of Lin Xiao's shamelessness and her way of playing dead. She didn't care at all about the looks from her colleagues who wanted to tear her to pieces, and she even enjoyed it a little.

"Oh, isn't that what so-and-so said? It's his ability that our students can get such a ship girl, right? Did anyone stipulate that the Azuma can't participate in the competition? Or does Caipi not participate in the competition?"

Chapter 28 Who says there can only be one ace?

"Okay, I'll count on you!"

Facing Wales's words, the other school presidents had no other choice. Of course, they still had to say some harsh words. They couldn't lose face. "But Wales, don't forget that the same ship girl cannot participate in both the individual and team competitions. Don't regret using this trump card in the appetizer of the individual competition!"

"Then you don't have to worry about it."

Wales almost laughed out loud. Ace? Well, it was indeed an ace... but who said there could only be one ace?

Returning to the playing field, there is no doubt that this exercise was over the moment Massachusetts decided to take Azuma's shot head-on.

As expected, although it was the same attack that raised a lot of smoke and dust, the law of "smoke but no harm" did not take effect this time. Massachusetts looked like he had been thrown into a paint bucket and his entire body turned into a variety of colors.

The poor girl blinked her eyes and wiped the paint off her face, as if she was unwilling to lose like this. But the fact was that she was the main ship and her opponent was the vanguard ship. The gap between her and the opponent was so exaggerated that this didn't feel like an exercise at all.

There is no doubt that Massachusetts was crushed. Just as Rodney said at the beginning, they were no match for the opponent.

The individual competition of this competition ended unexpectedly in such a quick and dramatic turn. Agatsuma successfully won the individual championship, and as Lin Xiao expected, she instantly gained a lot of attention, triggering rounds of discussions among the commanders and ship girls present.

Such discussions would not stop for at least a while. Azuma's performance would surely be widely spread like a legend. As Azuma's commander, Lin Xiao would naturally enter the public's field of vision. A seal legend was about to begin at this moment...

The discussion about Azuma was so heated that it even reached the start of the team competition and was still in full swing, with no sign of stopping. But no matter what, the team competition is more valuable than the individual competition, and as the competition progresses, everyone's attention will eventually be drawn back to the competition.

Unlike the individual competition, the team competition has certain restrictions on individual port areas.

In the individual competition, as long as you have enough ship girls, you can field as many as you want. However, the team competition stipulates that only one ship girl can be fielded in each port area, and ship girls who have already participated in the individual competition cannot participate in the team competition again.

It is precisely based on this point that there are no powerful aircraft carriers in the individual competition, because the aircraft carrier's single combat ability is not very strong, and it is not easy to defeat the battleship and stand out in the individual competition. However, in contrast, its role in the team competition can play a much greater role than the battleship. An excellent aircraft carrier is entirely possible to reverse the entire battle situation.

So although the deans fought fiercely during the individual competition, many of them actually hid their abilities. For example, Count Zeppelin, the dean of a naval academy in Area G, was a highly-trained aircraft carrier herself. She knew very well the powerful output and auxiliary interference capabilities of aircraft carriers in team battles. Similarly, she was also very aware of the embarrassing situation of aircraft carriers in single combat. She knew very well that if she chose to participate in the individual competition, not only would it not be of high value, but she would also likely fail once a highly-trained battleship appeared.

In that case, why not just give up the individual competition and win the team competition with certainty?

And facts have proved that her choice could not be more correct.

A monster like Azuma appeared in the individual competition. All the academies that placed their bets on the individual competition instantly became clowns. Azuma won the championship in a crushing manner with almost no suspense.

This made Zeppelin feel relieved and at the same time he began to look forward to it.

She perfectly avoided the unexpected dark horse, so wouldn't the championship of the team competition be in her pocket?

Amidst the conversation, the grouping for the team competition has officially begun.

Like the individual competition, the team competition also adopts a draw system. Two teams that draw the same lot will compete against each other until the final winner is decided.

Although this will more or less add some uncertain factors such as luck to the game, it doesn't matter. Many unpredictable things will happen in any actual combat. Only those who stand out in the uncertainty are the real strong ones.

Because the team competition is relatively more complicated and time-consuming, the competition will begin soon after the draw and grouping are completed.

Lin Xiao and Tang Xiaojiu are naturally the absolute main force of their academy. Among them, Tang Xiaojiu sent out her own Shangri-La, a gold-skinned aircraft carrier. Although her training level is not as high as Rodney, she is not a novice ship girl. She is very skilled in the use of carrier-based aircraft and is obviously a qualified aircraft carrier.

Lin Xiao's side is Frederick the Great, and the other four members of the team are provided by other students. Among them, there is a light cruiser girl in the front row whose training level is quite good and she is not a newbie. The other three are ship girls that the students had just built when they entered school. Their training level is not high, but their performance in past exercises is pretty good, and they are among the best among the new ship girls.

Such a configuration, if we ignore the Emperor, is obviously not that good. Logically, they would lack confidence in the game. But precisely because of the Emperor, although the other ship girls in the team except Shangri-La don't know which ship girl she is, as long as they know that she is from the famous super European emperor in the academy, who is talked about by their commander every day, they are full of envy and jealousy, and want to take the salted harpoon to die together with the port area, then they are naturally full of confidence and expectations for the Emperor.

Especially with the amazing performance of Azuma, who was also Commander Lin Xiao, they all looked eager to try.

The draw was over and the results were finalized. Although they were not the first team to compete, it was time for them to get together and prepare. They could also discuss strategies and so on. So several ship girls met and sat at the front of the stands, waiting for their turn to play.

Frederick sat in the center with a calm expression. Although she didn't know him very well, just from his temperament and figure, Shangri-La was almost certain that he was definitely a super powerful ship girl.

To be honest, Shangri-La is not short among the ship girls, but when she stands in front of the Emperor, she is only as tall as her shoulders. What's more important is that she has an almost dangerous aura, and it's just as if the word "tough guy" is written on her face.

"senior……"

So, during their first face-to-face communication, Shangri-La nodded somewhat nervously, and then sat down with some trepidation.

The same is true for several other ship girls. Compared to other ship girls, the Emperor does give people a different feeling. She is gentle, very gentle, like a mother, but she is definitely not a weak mother who is powerless. She is more like the Dark Madonna, like a godmother.

"No need to be so nervous, kids."

The emperor was worthy of being the emperor. He accepted everyone's greetings very naturally, and then watched the game on the field quietly, seeming to be very interested.

"Um, Senior...what's our next strategy?"

Shangri-La hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.

The emperor looked at her, smiled slightly, and then said: "Young chicks need to learn to fly on their own. I will protect you, but... a good mother will not let her children hide under her wings forever."

"..."

The corners of Shangri-La's mouth twitched. Although it was clear that the other party was a big shot... this way of speaking still made her feel a little uncomfortable, as if she had become a child... She was obviously a very mature ship girl.

So, what she meant was to let them figure it out on their own, and then she would be responsible for covering the consequences?

This is a very bossy and willful move...

But it's also true that if we were to guess the strength of this black-haired ship girl based on the Azuma we saw just now, then she probably wouldn't be able to cooperate with them even if she wanted to.

After all, she either doesn't make a move, or if she does, she will probably kill her opponent instantly...

Well, since there is someone to cover for you, you might as well just enjoy the game and not worry about winning or losing.

Shangri-La then pulled together several other ship girls and began to discuss tactics for a while. At the same time, she did not forget to observe the ongoing battle on the field as a reference, and by the way, she could also observe the opponent's strength and some habits or flaws.

A team battle is a team battle after all. Although individual strength is still very important, team cooperation is also the key to winning. The two teams on the field have a very obvious difference in this regard.

The average training level and ship equipment of the ship girls on one side are relatively stronger, but when fighting, they basically fight on their own. It is already good enough that their strength can be fully exerted. Occasionally, they will hinder each other, making them feel somewhat restrained when fighting.

The team on the other side obviously seemed to have practiced and run in before. Although their training level was a little mediocre, the coordination between the vanguard ship and the main force in the back row was very good, and their strength was fully exerted, so they had the upper hand.

The team competition was obviously much more exciting than the individual competition, with more highlights. In addition, the competition lasted for a long time. Gradually, the audience was immersed in watching the game. In the end, the game ended with the side with better cooperation winning.

After that, two more matches were held, one of which was the match against the Barbarossa Naval Academy. However, the opponent did not seem to be strong, perhaps because they focused on the individual competition. Their training level was not high and their coordination was poor. The game was over without the emperor even having to take action.

After these three games, the sky darkened, so even though everyone felt unsatisfied, they had to end the game for now and wait until tomorrow to play the remaining games.

In the evening, the two ports of Lin Xiao and Tang Xiaojiu linked up naturally again. Today they went to eat seafood buffet together. It was a pity that Yuudachi and Big Brother were not there, otherwise they would definitely teach the owner of the buffet a good lesson.

They were eating and chatting, because today's game was really exciting and many topics were discussed were related to the game. Agatsuma instantly gained a lot of "little fans". Hinata and others, who originally rejected Commander Lin Xiao and his ship girls, also changed their previous attitude and were quite enthusiastic about Agatsuma.

Of course, the mysterious ship girl who has never taken action is also attracting much attention. Everyone knows that she is Frederick the Great, and like my wife, she is the decisive battle plan, a super powerful ship girl! But if you ask how powerful the emperor is, no one knows, and there is no clear concept.

We also discussed some things about other teams. For example, during today's game, it seemed that there was a very powerful aircraft carrier in a team from Zone G.

It is said to be the dumpling-class Ticonderoga, also known as Carlyon.

Everyone knows that the Jiaozi-class aircraft carrier is very powerful. Jiaozi itself is a latecomer, and its strength and reputation are catching up with the legendary aircraft carrier Enterprise of the White Eagle. As a Jiaozi-class aircraft carrier, the strength of Carlyon's own ship equipment is naturally unquestionable.

Her training level is also quite good. Although she has not yet fully demonstrated her ability today, it is estimated that she is at least above level 70, and it can only be higher, not lower. It is very likely to be higher than currently speculated.

In addition, her teammates are no ordinary people and they cooperate well with each other. She is undoubtedly a strong opponent and is worthy of attention.

In addition, a team from Area A is also very strong. Although their battleship Valiant is purple, it is very well trained. It is said that they have been personally guided by Washington, the president of the academy. They have rich combat experience and their strength should not be underestimated.

These two are basically the most difficult teams to deal with.

Shangri-La's companions naturally did some analysis on these strong teams, especially Rodney, who pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of their side and their opponents in great detail, trying his best to help them develop better strategies.

Of course, everyone knows that although these efforts are not in vain, they are just icing on the cake.

Having said that, we still have to do what we need to do. Otherwise, we can't always expect others to do everything, right?

Time passed quickly as they chatted and ate. Everyone went back to rest at night. The next morning, Lin Xiao was woken up early from his sleep again. Today, he was really a little tired.

There is no way. I slept with Tianying last night and I couldn’t help it for a moment. I was almost asleep, but I got up in the middle of the night to hand in my homework. It took me a long time. Fortunately, my physical condition is getting better and better, otherwise I really couldn’t bear it.

It was still the familiar venue, and the familiar time. Today was the last day of the competition. All the contestants arrived early, and the final battle was about to begin...

Chapter 29 If you are afraid, just hide behind me

At this time, there were a total of four teams left on the field.

One is from the Barbarossa Naval Academy, and the other three are from Area G, Area A, and Area E respectively.

Among them, the two teams in Area G and Area A are very strong. During dinner last night, the ship girls from Tang Xiaojiu Port Area also discussed the issues related to these two teams for a long time.

Of course, not much was discussed in the end. There is a corresponding strategy, but it is hard to say how much effect it will have...

The last team is from Zone E. This team is of average strength and mediocre performance, but they had good luck before and did not encounter strong enemies. In addition, their training level was also acceptable, so they squeezed into the top four.

The result of the draw was soon revealed. The Barbarossa Naval Academy faced the team from Zone A, while the Zone G team with Kallion faced the relatively weak Zone E.

Obviously, between these two battles, the latter has no suspense and few people will pay attention to it except the parties involved, while the former is obviously more worth looking forward to.

Although in yesterday's match, the performance of the team from the Barbarossa Naval Academy in Zone C could not be said to be outstanding, in fact, it was not even better than the team in Zone E, and their advancement seemed to be somewhat due to luck, but... you have to know that this was a result of five against six.

The most mysterious one is the very tall ship girl with long black straight hair. She hasn't fired a single shot so far. This ship girl who looks like a big boss makes it hard not to associate her with Azuma.

However, compared with Azuma, who has a low-key stance and is not easily noticed, the emperor's brilliance is obviously more difficult to conceal. In fact, even if she does not take action, just standing there can bring considerable pressure to the opponent, who will involuntarily be wary of her every move.

Of course, even so, there are still people who hold different opinions. Isn’t it a bit too exaggerated for one college to produce two dark horses?

Of course, they did not think that the other party was a weakling, but they obviously did not think that the strength of this mysterious ship girl could reach the terrifying level of Azuma before, but it was possible to defeat her.

So, on one side is the Naval Academy that produced a dark horse like Azuma, with a mysterious battleship girl who has never taken action yet, and on the other side is the purple-skinned battleship Valiant that had an excellent performance yesterday, with a high level of training, and shocked the audience. What will be the result of the confrontation between these two sides?

Obviously, most people are looking forward to this game, or looking forward to the mysterious black-haired ship girl's move, and looking forward to seeing what kind of strength she has.

Even the deans in the stands were no exception to this. Of course, the only one who didn't look curious at all was called Wales.

The moment Wales saw Lin Xiao send the Great Emperor into the field, he almost laughed out loud.

Are you kidding me? What the hell is this? I can only say that Commander Lin Xiao is worthy of this. It is a familiar feeling to her...

As the battle was about to begin, all the other deans focused most of their attention on this tall ship girl. Just by looking at Wales's annoying look, they knew that this ship girl was no simple matter.

In fact, since the opponent appeared yesterday, many of them had a very familiar feeling, but if they thought about it carefully, the black-haired, powerful battleship girl, they really had no clue for a while.

West Virginia? Kii?

Judging from her temperament alone, she seems to be somewhat similar to the impression of West Virginia, but there is a big difference in appearance. As for Kii... she is completely different from her in both appearance and temperament.

This situation was very similar to the time when they met my wife before. However, unlike when they had no clue who she was before, this person always gave them a sense of déjà vu, as if they were just one step away from remembering her, but they really couldn't figure out who she was.

Simply put, there is too little information at the moment. Maybe we will be able to make a judgment once the other party takes action.

The game officially began soon. According to the strategy discussed yesterday, except for the Emperor who remained in place, the other few ship girls scattered to avoid being hit by the heroic artillery barrage. At the same time, the front row of ship girls quickly launched an attack, but only harassed at a relatively safe distance and did not advance rashly. Shangri-La in the back row was also not vague. The moment she adjusted her position, the carrier-based aircraft took off quickly and headed towards the enemy formation.

The opponent's main force is a brave one. Although the training levels of the other ship girls are not weak, at least they can fight. Such a scattered strategy can indeed play a role in maneuvering. For a while, the scene seemed a bit stalemate, and the brave didn't know which direction to launch the bombardment.

The ship girls in the front row kept moving at a high speed. Although this consumed a lot of energy, she had no way to hit them in a short period of time. As for the ship girls in the back row... because of their scattered positions, she could only choose one target first.

It's called a choice, but in fact there is no choice. In this kind of team exercise, the first target to focus fire on is very obvious...

Yingyong was worthy of being personally instructed by Dean Welsh. He reacted very quickly. After quickly analyzing the situation, at the moment when Shangri-La released the carrier-based aircraft, he instantly calibrated the main gun and fired towards Shangri-La.

The roar of artillery fire was coming towards this side at a very fast speed, and Shangri-La was still releasing carrier-based aircraft. Even if we reacted immediately and dodged, it would probably be too late.

"With heroic training, Shangri-La is very dangerous..."

This is a problem that everyone can see. After all, the girls in the back row cannot sail at the same high speed as the girls in the front row to avoid the bombardment. In this case, no matter how the strategy is adjusted, the heroic and powerful bombardment capability will always be a problem that they cannot avoid and must solve.

And on this point, Shangri-La has obviously delivered a good answer.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Shangri-La was injured as expected, with a lot of paint on his body, but... it seemed to be a lot less than everyone expected.

"What's going on...this shouldn't be the case?"

The commander of Yingyong was a little confused. He was very clear about the strength of his own Yingyong. With the training level of the opponent Shangri-La, it should be eliminated directly after being hit by this shot. For this reason, he specially assisted Yingyong in using skills in the previous round of main guns. The main guns were wrapped with additional barrages, with the purpose of directly carrying away this difficult aircraft carrier. But now... Could it be that the training level of this Shangri-La was very different from what he expected? Was she hiding her incompetence?

No, it's not like that!

After all, there were many experienced instructors present, and someone soon discovered the problem. The interference and output capabilities of Shangri-La's carrier-based aircraft did not seem to be as impressive as yesterday?

Could it be that……

Shangri-La smiled slightly, and after the cooling of the carrier-based aircraft was completed, she released them again. The second round of carrier-based aircraft flew towards the enemy formation, instantly disrupting the opponent's formation and providing great assistance to her own front-row ship girls. At the same time, the opponent's back-row ship girls also suffered some damage.

That's right. She had long expected that Heroic would definitely point the spearhead at herself, so she deliberately replaced her purple hydraulic catapult device with an aviation auxiliary fuel tank and a purple high-performance servo. By sacrificing part of her own output capacity, she greatly improved her survivability and avoided being carried away by a wave. She successfully released two waves of carrier-based aircraft to contain the opponent. At the same time, because of the existence of the aviation auxiliary fuel tank, the durability of her carrier-based aircraft was also improved to a certain extent, making it more difficult for the opponent to deal with.

The result of this is that all other ship girls on the opposite side are now struggling to deal with her carrier-based aircraft, including the Heroic, which has been greatly affected. In the overall situation, the Barbarossa Naval Academy quickly gained a considerable advantage.

"Nice countermeasure!"

Even Washington, the dean of the academy, had to admit that this move was clever. After all, most ship girls seldom changed their equipment, because they had their own combat habits, and equipment was a part of them. Suddenly changing equipment would inevitably lead to unfamiliarity, resulting in all kinds of inconveniences and awkwardness in combat. Therefore, Shangri-La's equipment change before the battle was indeed somewhat unexpected.

However, Yingyong had a high level of training and rich combat experience. Although he was tricked, he still reacted quickly. He reloaded the main gun and aimed at Shangri-La again, vowing to make her leave the battlefield.
