Revisiting Azur Lane
Page 53
Unfortunately, neither the executors nor the mass-produced models had the ability to think, and were simply driven by program instructions. Every time the people retreated from the front line, they were covered by dense artillery fire, and their clothes and pants would be severely damaged when they rushed out - but the people themselves and the ship equipment were intact.
"Move east. Bismarck and the others are on their way. Counterattack once you are within Zuikaku and Shokaku's air control range."
While waiting for the vanguard team to safely withdraw from the enemy's fire coverage area, Hood gave the second instruction. The angle of movement was also very particular. It was a side-by-side route given by Zhou He after observing the position of the Siren battleship from a God's perspective. It felt like it could hit the target, but it was impossible to hit the target at such a long distance.
"Be careful to avoid the shells. There is a 'Tester' mixed in with these Executors. It is a special Siren individual with command ability. Its combat ability is unknown. The Javelin is also sensitive. You two should withdraw from the combat area first. Everyone else remains unchanged."
Under Zhou He's "micro-management", Hood and his group weaved in front of many Sirens at a very strange angle. Despite the roar of artillery and the rain of shells, there was no serious damage to the group. It was just that the planes in the sky followed very closely and were very annoying.
In the game, three front-row ships specialized in air defense can block all aircraft, but this is not possible in reality. Cleveland and Montpelier cooperated with Long Island to defend, but the effect was still not great. Air superiority was almost lost and they could only barely protect themselves.
"Huh? That's it?"
Suddenly, a large number of Sakura Empire aircraft appeared in the distant sky. The first to notice it was Nagashima. She looked bitter and was stunned for a moment, then happy, and finally surprised: "Those don't seem to be Zuikaku and her crew's carrier-based aircraft."
"Is it possible? Be careful to avoid it!"
Everyone was also stunned for a moment, then gathered around Long Island, ready to welcome a new round of air strikes - but to their surprise, this group of carrier-based aircraft flying over did not attack them. Instead, because of their dense numbers, they oppressed the flight trajectory of the Siren's chasing aircraft, and even shot down several Siren carrier-based aircraft, and finally flew over Hood and his men's heads.
"what's the situation?"
The people below were a little confused, but they also knew that this was a good opportunity, and they began to speed up and move towards the direction of Bismarck's team.
"What are these two guys doing!?"
The same doubts appeared on the tester, making its already gloomy face even gloomier. Usually, it was always tricked by the observers and held back by the purifiers. Unexpectedly, this time even the two "partners" Akagi and Kaga began to increase her strength.
Habits are habits. It’s okay that the first two are colleagues within the system, but the latter two are the key objects of observation. There must be a reason why they specifically make such a fuss.
Anyway, Hood and others have changed their course, and their goal of preventing the two sides from joining together has been achieved. It would be better to see what the two Akagi sisters are up to.
Thinking like this, the tester hiding in the crowd retreated and slowly sank into the sea.
……
"Sister Akagi, she's right over there."
In the center of the battlefield, Kaga followed Akagi. After learning that she was going to find the transport ship that was chased by the White Eagle Fleet at the beginning, she first found the general direction with her memory. In order to prevent those ships from "leaving" the mirror sea, she suggested sending out planes to follow them, and if they showed signs of leaving, they would be paralyzed directly.
"The tester and observer are two pieces of trash. After so long, so many people have not been dealt with."
Akagi vaguely felt that Kaga's remarks had ulterior motives, but compared with the coordinates of this special world, both the group of Sirens and the warship girls who were fighting were insignificant. When flying over the heads of Hood and others, she 'accidentally' shot down several Siren planes, and for this, she severely despised the tester's efficiency.
"Doing so might attract the tester's attention."
Kaga just wanted to disrupt the Sirens' pursuit speed, but she didn't expect that Akagi hated these Sirens more than she thought.
"Whatever. Anyway, cooperating with these guys is just a temporary solution. Now I have a better plan. If they dare to stand in my way, I will send them to death."
Akagi snorted coldly and spoke without any hesitation.
"..."
Kaga did not respond, but just thought that the two of them might not be able to defeat the tester, but Akagi's personality was like that, once he made up his mind, no one could stop him.
Not long after, the two sisters passed by Hood and others hundreds of meters apart. The executors who were chasing them stopped their shelling. Akagi raised his chin slightly and glanced at the people in front of him like a peacock, but he was a little shocked in his heart. It seemed that they were beaten to a pulp by the Sirens, but there was no damage to their bodies and ship equipment. It can be seen that their combat capability is always at its peak and will not decline.
The so-called retreat is nothing more than changing to a battlefield that is more advantageous to oneself.
"If I had this kind of power."
Akagi was very excited. She firmly believed that her strength and ability were very strong, but it was far from enough to revitalize Sakura Empire. That's why she colluded with the Sirens to obtain more combat data and the advanced technology possessed by the Sirens.
After hearing what Kaga said and seeing it with her own eyes - the team of ship girls they encountered this time, theoretically speaking, there was no such thing as defeat. If the number was doubled, it would be an invincible fleet.
"According to what Kaga said, there is a source of their power, so..."
Akagi's thoughts gradually drifted away. After she and Kaga were far away from Hood and others, the executors began to continue their pursuit.
'What are you looking for?'
Suddenly, Akagi "heard" a young man's voice, as if he was standing next to her ear and talking. She slammed on the brakes and looked back, only to see Kaga, who was as quiet as ever.
"The sound, Kaga, did you hear it too?"
Akagi frowned and asked Kaga, who was slightly stunned and nodded: "It seems that you, Sister Akagi, have also been affected. According to my inference, it may be related to our thoughts."
"Yeah."
Akagi felt very curious at this time. From the voice, it seemed that the person who possessed this power was a human. She couldn't remember when was the last time she saw a human. Dealing with the Sirens and the group of old stubborn people in Sakura Empire every day was really annoying.
"He's asking me what I'm looking for. How should I answer?"
Akagi raised the question, and Kaga shook his head slightly: "It's just a one-sided transmission of information."
"Boring, have you found the transport ship?"
Upon hearing this, Akagi ignored the question and started looking for the location of the transport ship. The most urgent thing now was to get the coordinates first. She didn't know when the observer would close this mirror sea.
"It has been found. Someone got there first."
Kaga's eyes wandered. She didn't find it, but someone had found it and conveyed the news to her.
"Then what are you waiting for? Lead the way and grab the things."
Akagi's eyes instantly turned cold, no longer paying attention to the sudden voice. Kaga responded and took Akagi to the direction of the "notification". They soon used carrier-based aircraft to discover a white figure standing next to the wreckage of the transport ship. The camera zoomed in and they could see that she was holding a square mechanical file box in her hand.
"..."
“Is this the thing?”
Kursk shook the mechanical box in front of Zhou He's eyes in the video: She was originally following Lingmin as a bodyguard, but halfway through the run, Zhou He suddenly changed his mind and asked her to chase the transport ship, saying that there were important things inside. She spent a lot of effort to avoid exploding the transport ship and took the things out.
"That's it. Two vixens, one red and one white, will come to you and ask for the box. When they do, tell them that you can give them the box, but they need you to help get rid of the siren that's following them."
Zhou He took a careful look at it, not knowing what it was. However, she saw that Akagi and the others were moving in this direction, so they probably wanted this thing. There was also a "tester" following behind them.
It’s good that he wants to salvage the ship, but the ship he wants to salvage is the one used to fight the Sirens. If Akagi and Kaga refuse to deal with the tester, then it can be said that he has no chance of getting it.
"understood."
Kursk didn't ask much. Zhou He was quite fond of the little animals. This vixen was probably a ship girl of the same type as Tosa.
Soon after, a large number of carrier-based aircraft were circling in the sky. Akagi brought Kaga to Kursk and stretched out his hand with a cold expression: "Give me that thing."
"Deal with the Siren that's following you, and I'll give it to you."
Kursk was wearing mechanical gloves, and his slender fingers clamped the mechanical box of half of the Rubik's Cube in it. You can see that there are extremely complex patterns on this cold-colored iron mechanical box, which is a very sophisticated thing.
"Hmph, is the tester following?"
Akagi was not surprised. He looked at Kursk, who was emitting an oppressive aura, and said, "You are in the same group with those two kids from the Fifth Carrier Fleet, right? Could it be that your flagship and commander-in-chief is a human?"
Kursk looked inward: "Is there any problem with this?"
"No~ I'm just a little curious."
After getting the answer he wanted, Akagi raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a rather enchanting smile: "It's interesting to have a human commander who can command you. I really look forward to the day when I meet him."
"..."
Kursk looked away. People like Akagi were the most troublesome. He hoped that his commander had not made a wrong calculation.
"The cooperation is established, but how do we get the tester to show up?"
Seeing that Kursk was also a cold receptionist, Akagi's interest dropped sharply. He raised his hand to observe his long and beautiful nails.
"there."
Kursk raised his hand and pointed, and the main guns on his side exploded at the same time. The shells whizzed past Akagi and flew into the distance, shocking the big fox so much that its tail lifted up in response.
"…I see. So, we are not allowed to communicate with shipgirls from other worlds."
Kaga had foresight and left Akagi early, so she also saw the tester emerging from the sea, with blue light gradually emanating from his eyes.
Chapter 73 Let me visit!
Since the decision has been made, there is nothing to chat about. After Kursk fired a shot at the tester, Akagi came to his senses and glared at her fiercely, then walked around from the side and came to the back of Kursk with Kaga.
There is no such thing as skills in this world, but sister ships like Akagi and Kaga, Zuikaku and Shokaku have a natural understanding of cooperation. The two of them released their own carrier-based aircraft almost at the same time. Their prototypes did not appear, but they were small planes like the ones when Kaga and the battleship Kaga were "competing". They surrounded the testers with their iconic red and blue colors and launched attacks with a buzzing sound.
The tester had not expected that the two Akagi sisters would betray him so easily, so he ran over alone to observe the situation. Even though it was a special model for KanColle testing, he was sweating profusely facing the targeted attack of two aircraft carriers alone.
However, as a Siren, what he feared least was death in battle. After being attacked from the air, the gloomy-faced tester used the thrust of the explosion to move directly, and adjusted his body shape to control the main and secondary guns on the back and both sides of the ship to fire at the three people.
The firepower of one ship was even more intense than the simultaneous salvos of two battleships. The shells scattered like flowers from the sky made it impossible for Kursk to avoid them. She was hit head-on, but her ship's armor was strong enough. Only one main gun was damaged and her course was deviated. After adjustments, she continued to attack.
In this close-range confrontation between the two sides, 80% of the shells fell into the water, splashing water, and 20% of the 18% that hit were from the joint air strikes of Akagi and Kaga, which really increased the intensity of the testers. After only less than ten minutes of confrontation, the testers, who originally exuded a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere, were beaten to pieces. The main and secondary guns of the ship were damaged one after another, emitting sparks, and the wounds on the body were innumerable, even one of the eyes was scratched, the body was covered in blood, and the whole figure was shaky.
"What a guy who is so tough that it makes people sick."
During the battle, because Kursk was blocking the way, Akagi and Kaga kept retreating and had already run several miles away. With the help of the feedback from the carrier-based aircraft, she showed a look of disgust: "But I remember that these guys were equipped with super-standard weapons. Is it because they were severely damaged and didn't have time to use them?"
"perhaps."
Kaga also remembered this incident. Before Akagi got in touch with the Observer, the two of them had fought against these Tester Sirens. They were quite difficult to deal with when they were mixed in the fleet, but it seemed that this was the only problem when they were singled out?
"Forget it, let's quickly get the stuff and evacuate this mirror sea. Well, let's go back to the main island after a long absence to see if there are any new little creatures."
Akagi is well aware that these testers and observers in front of her are all "clones". Once the tester is killed and the data is transmitted to the host, the cooperation between them and the Sirens will be declared bankrupt. They must return to the safe waters within the Sakura Empire before the Sirens take action.
At that time, even if Siren wanted to chase, she could naturally ask others to come and help resist.
After a brief exchange, the two sisters Akagi and Kaga launched more intensive bombardments on the test subject who was already showing signs of slow movement. The bombardment was so brutal that even Kursk stopped to observe, as she could no longer see the test subject.
However, the individual reactions of the test subjects still showed up on Kursk's radar, with terrifying vitality.
To deal with this kind of prey, according to her style, she would definitely take the route of bleeding and continuous consumption, waiting until the opponent is weak before attacking. However, the firepower coverage of Akagi and Kaga exceeded her expectations. She could only sigh that she was worthy of being favored by her commander.
After enduring several rounds of fierce bombardment from the Akagi sisters, the tester lost control of the machine without even uttering his last words, and it sank into the sea without a single echo.
"It's dead. Give us the stuff quickly."
After confirming the death of the tester, Akagi quickly approached Kursk, his eyes fell on the ship's equipment that had been hit but completely repaired, and he spread his hands with a tone of urgency.
"..."
Kursk said nothing more, took the mechanical cube out of his pocket and placed it in Akagi's palm, then turned and left without saying a word.
"As expected of a fellow from the Northern Alliance, he does things in a straightforward and efficient manner."
Akagi felt the coldness and weight of his palm, and gave a rare compliment. He put away the mechanical cube and called Kaga: "Let's go, it's time for us to leave."
She still remembered where the control center of this mirror sea was. Now that the tester had been defeated, the purifier would be sunk sooner or later, and only the observer was left. That guy would never put himself in danger, so they could easily close this test site.
"Can we analyze this thing using Iron Blood's technology?"
When it was time to leave, Kaga suddenly recalled the other self who had challenged her, the self who was so passionate that her shadow could not be seen at all.
Inexplicably, I really want to fight and communicate with her again.
"Just hold this thing and we'll meet again."
Akagi is actually not sure whether this mechanical Rubik's Cube is the world coordinate, but it must be something that allows different worlds to overlap. No matter how many experiments she has to conduct in the future, she will definitely visit this world again.
Go meet the mysterious commander who can make these ship girls abandon their camps and act together.
……
Just as Akagi expected, Hood and the others met up with Bismarck's team not long after passing by them, and standing between them was the Purifier who was guarding Akagi's rear. The Purifier, who was originally in a state of letting go, didn't even put up much of a resistance and was happily killed by being sandwiched between the two sides.
The remaining Siren Fleet that followed Hood's team began to fight on their own after losing the two commanders, Tester and Purifier. They were defeated and gradually devoured by Hood, Bismarck and others who had joined forces. The battle in the entire sea area also came to an end.
Further away, the White Eagle Fleet that was being chased by the Sirens also completed its counterattack against the Sirens. Unlike Zhou He's fleet which was almost unscathed, this fleet suffered a large number of casualties during the long battle. If Hood and his team had not attracted the testers and a large number of executors to leave, even if they had escaped, they would have suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, after the Siren lost control of the Mirror Sea, Lexington and his group began to move closer to Hood and his group, and the latter did the same. After running in both directions, the two sides met in just over half an hour.
"Thank you for your help."
In the White Eagle Fleet, the only aircraft carriers in relatively intact condition were Lexington, Saratoga and Hu Feng. They were well protected. In comparison, Washington was only able to survive by being supported, and her blood-covered state was scary to look at.
"When we go out, we should help each other."
Hood responded politely, and after a few pleasantries with Lexington, he mentioned that there was a Siren base nearby that they had captured, and that there was also a top mechanic, Lingmin, in the team who could repair a certain degree of damage to the wounded's ship equipment.
"Oh, that's really helpful."
Lexington was present, and Saratoga next to her tried to speak several times, but she stopped her with her eyes and smoothly joined the team and moved forward together.
"By the way, I wonder which headquarters you all belong to? We can contact each other after we return to White Eagle to recuperate. Also, the Sirens have been getting more and more aggressive recently. If there is any action, we can discuss how to deal with it."
During the conversation, Lexington's eyes casually fell on the silent Bismarck group and the lively Kaga group, and his tone was gentle as if he was conducting an important diplomatic visit.
