I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

"Sister Lafite, that's my sister Lafite..."

Ark Royal exudes a thick black aura, as if she has entered a special state that exceeds the limits of a ship girl. Ark Royal believes that her other self must be feeling the same way at this moment.

"I see."

At this time, Yan Zhan remembered that he had indeed heard Aurora say before that she hit Kaga across half of the sea.

Logically speaking, as a light cruiser girl, she couldn't do such a thing, but since it was due to Laffey's strengthening, everything became reasonable.

Although the fact that a ship girl can strengthen a ship girl is unreasonable in itself, when he thinks that it is Laffey, War-weary feels that everything becomes reasonable.

I don’t know when this great predecessor was born, but even the Prince of Wales was able to achieve his legendary status thanks to the help of Lafite.

So it makes sense that Lafite could strengthen the Prince of Wales, right?

Thinking of this, War-weary actually felt relieved, because the oppressive feeling that the Prince of Wales had given her just now was too strong.

As a fellow Royal Ship Girl and a member of a battleship, War-weary asked herself whether she could possibly do what the Prince of Wales had just done, even if she had to temporarily break through her own limits.

But since it was because of Lafite, Yanzhan felt that they still had the strength to fight.

It's impossible to give up just when the fight has just begun, right?

It's so embarrassing to admit defeat in front of dozens of younger ship girls!

Although the battle had just begun, Laffite and the Prince of Wales, as legends, had given them a warning, but Warspite still planned to follow the previous tactics.

She believed that with Rafi's strengthening, the Prince of Wales was no longer someone she, Glory, and the Royal Ark could contend with, even if she and the Royal Ark temporarily broke through their limits.

But she also believed that strengthening the Prince of Wales and facing several legendary ship girls at the same time would be a burden for Laffite.

"Senior Lafite, don't underestimate us. The will to win of the ship girls is very strong!"

The ship girls regrouped and Zuikaku even chose to unfold her own ship.

Although Shokaku was badly damaged and had to leave the field, the carrier-based aircraft she had previously launched were intact. When necessary, the carrier-based aircraft girls can actually receive carrier-based aircraft from other ship girls, but there is an upper limit to the number of aircraft that can be received.

If it is an ordinary aircraft carrier girl, the sum of the number of carrier-based aircraft received and launched cannot exceed her own training level.

But the legendary ship girl is different.

After unfolding its hull, Zuikaku is equivalent to having an additional lifting platform for carrier-based aircraft.

As long as the carrier-based aircraft that have been launched are not recovered, the carrier-based aircraft belonging to Shokaku can temporarily land on her hull.

When needed, Zuikaku can directly launch these carrier-based aircraft without any replenishment.

In fact, this is the only solution.

There is a limit to the number of carrier-based aircraft that an aircraft carrier can launch each time. Once these carrier-based aircraft are shot down, it will take time to replenish them.

Most of the time, as long as the carrier-based aircraft returns, the aircraft carrier will receive the returning carrier-based aircraft for supplies, and then the carrier-based aircraft can continue to take off.

But facing Laffey, Zuikaku did not hold out any hope that the carrier-based aircraft he had released could come back.

Another problem now facing all the ship girls is.

Where are Rafi and the Prince of Wales?

"It seems that our senior has taught us a good lesson." Zhenhai said with emotion.

As one of the earliest ship girls, and the real senior in the eyes of most ship girls, Zhenhai naturally has her own pride.

But she is proud but not arrogant. When facing someone who is truly better than herself, she will not put on airs.

"For most weak shipgirls, the soul network is just a more convenient means of communication. They don't rely on the soul network to detect the enemy, but on the radar sensing equipment carried by their own ships."

"Even for many legendary ship girls, in non-combat situations, radar is more efficient than soul network, because radar can be turned on at all times, while soul network consumes their own energy."

"To put it bluntly, the Soul Network is just a tool. It's just a part of our body. It doesn't mean that we won't be able to fight without it."

At first, the other ship girls didn’t know what Zhenhai meant, but gradually, they understood. Zhenhai was saying that they relied too much on the soul network to enhance their own senses.

The soul network is only a part of the ship girl's mental power. Its existence can enhance the ship girl's external perception ability and greatly improve the hit rate.

But this does not mean that the ship girl will not fight if she loses the soul network.

The elevation angle of the artillery fire, the calibration of the direction, the prediction of the air humidity and wind speed... do not rely on the soul network. These are things that are ingrained in the bones of the ship girls.

"Because I'm so powerful, I'm used to using the soul network to fight, but I forget the most essential thing."

Zhenhai looked at the other ship girls around him and chuckled.

"Perhaps, this is what our senior wants to tell us."

Zhenhai's words made the other ship girls ponder. To put it bluntly, the purpose of the exercise was to find out the gaps and fill them. Although winning or losing was important,

More importantly, we need to find our own shortcomings from this exercise.

Compared to ordinary ship girls, the legendary ship girls whose training has almost reached the limit, of course, are perfect in every move.

However, compared with the more powerful ship girls, any flaws on them will be infinitely magnified.

"It seems that as we grew up, we also acquired a bit of arrogance."

KanColle are not perfect. This is a topic that has been mentioned from the beginning. They have various personalities and naturally have various shortcomings.

This is fine in normal life, but once you bring your character flaws into battle, it is likely to cause irreparable mistakes.

The growing up ship girls thought they had realized this a long time ago, but many times, just because you realize a mistake doesn’t mean you won’t make it again.

It is often only after something happens that we suddenly realize that we should not have done so.

"I understand now. I shouldn't have underestimated Senior Lafei."

Zuikaku was the first to admit her mistake, because she had indeed underestimated Lafite because she was a destroyer and did not regard Lafite as her real opponent.

"No, this is my responsibility. When the battle started, I should have realized that we were already on the battlefield."

If she entered the mirror sea set up by the Siren, she would let down her guard because of Laffite's presence, and something like what happened to Shokaku might happen again.

Warspite took the responsibility on herself because she was the flagship of the team. If she had been vigilant at the beginning, the Prince of Wales would not have found the opportunity to defeat a legendary ship girl at almost no cost.

Shokaku's departure is not just a matter for Shokaku alone, it also directly weakens Zuikaku's combat effectiveness and their overall strength.

Because Shokaku has the ability to increase the damage of all ship girls in the formation and reduce the damage suffered by the ship girls, when Shokaku is present, it is not as simple as nine plus one equals ten, but nine plus one equals eleven, or even twelve.

But now, they have completely lost this bonus.

In contrast, Lafite and Prince of Wales are still in their heyday.

However, it is better to suffer losses during exercises than on the battlefield, and there are indeed many areas of lack of tacit understanding in their cooperation.

For example, when Shokaku was bombarded, if the other ship girls had at all costs used carrier-based aircraft to build a protective network to resist the bombardment, then Shokaku might not have to leave directly.

After all, there was no one on the carrier-based aircraft.

It is worthwhile to use dozens of carrier-based aircraft to reduce the damage to an aircraft carrier.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in discussing this any further.

"Aurora, Aurora, switch your equipment to SG radar and find the position of Senior Laffey and Prince of Wales as soon as possible. Glory, Zhenhai, Zuikaku, Royal Ark, your carrier-based aircraft continue to move towards the initial position of Senior Laffey and Prince of Wales. Majestic, Shiranui, you escort around Zuikaku's hull and be careful of torpedoes!"

But War-weary knew that Laffey had no martial ethics, so when the Royal Ark was fighting Shokaku and Zuikaku, he shot Zuikaku dead from an unknown distance.

If Laffey uses the same trick again, and if she is hit by an arrow accidentally, no ship girl present will be able to withstand it.

Then, a group of ship girls began to move in the opposite direction, keeping their distance.

They didn't know the exact location of Lafite and Prince of Wales, but they knew the general direction. Before finding Lafite and Prince of Wales, they planned to play guerrilla warfare and hide-and-seek with Lafite for a while.

The distance of fifty kilometers is very close, and there is not enough time left for Warspite and the others. However, after knowing that they are within the firing range of Prince of Wales, the group of ship girls are not as nervous as at the beginning.

What they were worried about at first was that the Prince of Wales would quickly close the distance between them on the hull of the Laffey, but now there is no need to worry.

Because even if Laffey went forward alone, the Prince of Wales could support her with artillery fire from behind.

But obviously, Rafi didn't intend to waste time with them.

"found it!"

The radar equipment on the ship sounded the alarm, and through the soul network sharing intelligence, a group of ship girls soon discovered that there was an obvious bright spot nearly forty kilometers away from them.

Only a few minutes had passed and they had already closed the gap to one-fifth.

"Wait, why is there only one target on it?"

When a ship girl raised a question, all the ship girls looked at the light spot moving at high speed, and after making a guess, the same idea came to their minds.

So crazy!

Of course, the only one who can move forward at this speed is Lafite.

This means.

Rafi actually abandoned the Prince of Wales and rushed towards them alone!

They are being looked down upon!

......

Chapter 92: Rafi Assault Mode!

Rafi actually didn't look down on them for being war-weary.

Rather, it is better to say that Lafite chose the tactic of attacking alone because he valued those who were tired of war.

Because if she is with the Prince of Wales, then the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier girls will attack her and Wales at the same time.

Prince, so that she would need to protect both herself and the Prince of Wales.

But if she were alone, then she would only have to protect herself and would not have to worry about the Prince of Wales.

As for the Prince of Wales.

Not only did Lafite not let her follow him, but instead asked her to keep a certain distance from him, preferably outside the radar detection range of War-Yan and others.

Rafi knew how backward the radars in the hands of the ship girls were. As long as the distance was a little far, they would almost become decorations.

And the radar on the carrier-based aircraft.

Not to mention whether the carrier-based aircraft in the hands of the ship girls have radars. Even if they do, most of them are only used for close-range search rather than reconnaissance.

Although there is a saying that the higher you stand, the farther you can see.

But how could a pilot on a carrier-based aircraft see a person standing on the surging sea fifty kilometers away?

This is also the reason why ship girls replaced battleships in the first place.

Because the size of the ship girls is so small, they have an absolute advantage whether facing the Siren warships or human warships.

After the warships they designed were no longer able to compete with the ship girls, human scientific researchers began to give up over time.

Instead of wasting money on arms race, it would be better to provide more good treatment to the ship girls.

The development of human beings in this world is deformed.

As someone who has experienced it, Lafite can say this frankly.

But this is also helpless in the context of the Siren attack.

Closer to home.

There are certain risks in separating Lafite and the Prince of Wales.

But high risk high reward.

As long as no one attacks the Prince of Wales, he will continue to provide her with fire support.

As for the delay...

What's wrong with the delay?

She is here to block the movement!

Through the soul network, Laffey can clearly see the positions of Warspite and other ship girls. Although they can also see them with radar, why not use such a convenient thing as the soul network?

As long as she was in the front, there was no way any ship girl could bypass her and attack the Prince of Wales.

Prince of Wales is no weak ship girl.

On the contrary, the Prince of Wales is very strong, strong enough for Lafite to leave his back to her with peace of mind.

Quick victory!

That's what Rafi thinks.

Equipped with two pieces of equipment that can increase the speed, the Beaver Squadron emblem and the anglerfish liver, when the BGM sounded, Laffey's speed had surpassed all other ship girls.
