I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

"Hmph, did the Purifier show mercy?"

Carrying the huge ship equipment like a manta ray on its back, the tester said coldly.

Even though half of her body functions were paralyzed by the Prince of Wales, two of the six main gun barrels were destroyed, three of the six torpedo launchers were damaged, and the lower half of one arm and waist and abdomen were hit devastatingly, revealing countless mechanical circuits that were ejecting sparks.

As a special type of Siren, the tester still retains a considerable degree of combat effectiveness.

Although she didn't know what happened to Rafi, but at the moment when the [Natural Algorithm System] did not give her a response, she had to make recovering the Prince of Wales's Mind Cube her top priority.

"I won't show mercy to those who get in the way like I did to the Purifiers!"

The position where the Laffite battleship was located was suddenly directed at by four infrared-like rays. The four intact main guns on the tester were accumulating energy. At a distance of less than one kilometer, there was no way she could miss.

The energy in the gun barrel was accumulated, and four laser rays that seemed to burn through the air shot straight towards Lafite's hull.

"Get out of the way!"

The Prince of Wales struggled and shouted. The damage to the Mind Cube exceeded 20%, causing her consciousness to become blurred. However, she knew at least one thing: if Rafi was sunk by the tester again, their last hope would slip through their fingers.

Only when Rafi pinned down the tester and sank him, did they have the strength to deal with the Purifier.

If they can't even beat the testers, how can they fight the more powerful Purifiers?

However, facing the tester's attack, Rafi did not dodge at all.

She stretched out her hand, and a layer of azure clustered network similar to the energy shield of the Siren battleship appeared in front of the battleship, easily blocking the tester's fire.

"What is this!? Why is there no corresponding record in the [Natural Algorithm System]!?"

The strongest attack was easily blocked, and the tester's gloomy smile suddenly changed.

In this era, it is impossible for any ship girl to block her attack so easily, not to mention that the ship that blocked her attack was a destroyer!

In fact, if the testers observe carefully, they will find that the clustered network that Lafite uses to block her attacks and the azure light marks that Lafite uses to maintain the stability of the ship are made of the same material.

Then, the black and red lines used by the Prince of Wales to strengthen the hull, and the blue light marks of Lafite,

It's the same effect.

However, the Prince of Wales could not use this power as easily as Laffey did, and could only passively cover the hull with it.

"Next, it's time for Rafi!"

His sleepy eyes turned into determination, Rafi clenched his fists, and his expression was solemn.

"Raffy is super strong right now... well, fight back, don't touch my legs at a time like this."

A hand touched Lafite's calf in white stockings. The girl, who was lying on the ground with her butt sticking out, sniffed her nose and said with tears and snot: "Wow, next time you push me up, can you tell me, I can't stand it this way."

The counterattack was pale. She was a ship girl, not an "aircraft" carrier. This roller coaster-like gameplay was too exciting.

The clustered network condensed in front of the bow fell back onto the hull. Rafi made a standard counterattack move, using his fingers like a pistol, pointing it at the tester in the sky.

"It's over!"

On the hull of Lafite, a 138.6mm single-mounted gun, three twin-mounted 127mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns, two twin-mounted 113mm anti-aircraft guns, and seven 100mm continuous anti-aircraft guns were aimed at the tester in the sky at the same time.

After the ship's hull is unfolded, the firepower of the ship girls far exceeds that of their ship-mounted form. Although as a huge battleship, it is bound to sacrifice some maneuverability, but under the efficient firepower network, it is all worth it.

The hulls of the legendary ship girls inherited their armor strength. The only ones that can pose a threat to them are Siren flagships of the same level or higher. Moreover, the ship girls in the hull state can break through the limitations brought by the equipment slots to a certain extent.

For example, in its normal form, Lafite can only carry one main gun and one anti-aircraft gun.

However, in ship mode, Lafite can be equipped with four main guns and nine anti-aircraft guns.

The biggest disadvantage of a battleship when facing a ship girl is that its huge weapons can hardly hit the nimble ship girls, and the accuracy of long-range shooting will also drop sharply.

However, the ship girl, as the embodiment of the battleship, can make up for this shortcoming when controlling the battleship.

In this way, the huge hull is no longer a burden to the ship girl, but another mode different from the ship's equipment form with high flexibility and slightly insufficient firepower.

The ship girls in the ship state can exert 100% of their former strength as battleships, and under the mysterious blessing of the ship girls that is difficult to explain by science, the various attributes of the battleships will be comprehensively enhanced.

Just like the tattered hull of Lafite that looks like it's about to sink, under the power of Lafite, it still fearlessly gallops on the rough mirror-like sea.

Four main guns and nine anti-aircraft guns were aimed at the testers in the sky at the same time.

"It's useless. The destroyer's equipment can't do any damage to me!"

Seeing the Laffey turning towards him, the tester smiled grimly.

She was so frightened by Rafi just now that she almost forgot that Rafi was just a destroyer.

How could a cricket destroyer possibly penetrate the armor of her battleship?

The only attack that can pose a threat to them from the destroyer girls is the torpedo.

But, both she and the Purifier can fly!

How could a torpedo moving in the sea pose a threat to them flying in the sky?

Looking at the main guns and anti-aircraft guns on the Lafite, and seeing the gun barrels that were less than fifteen centimeters long, the tester almost laughed out loud if the settings did not allow it.

Are there really any ship girls who think that they can do whatever they want just because they have a lot of guns?

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The sound of artillery fire rang out. When the tester noticed the azure light traces wrapped around the shells and realized that something was wrong, and wanted to dodge, it was too late.

Four main guns, nine anti-aircraft guns, and shells from dozens of gun barrels hit the tester at the same time.

At this moment, the tester finally understood what regret meant.

If Rafi knew what the tester was thinking just now, he would probably reply.

"Sorry, but Paoduo really can do whatever he wants!"

......

Chapter 104: I Want to Protect You

Thick clouds covered the sky. The weather in the Mirror Sea has always been like this, either cloudy or rainy, there has never been such a thing as a sunny day.

The laughter of the Purifiers came from the dark clouds. They rushed out from the clouds intertwined with lightning, and their shark-like ship flexibly swung its body to avoid the strafing from the carrier-based aircraft behind.

Noticing Rafi and her hull rushing out of the sea, the Purifier shouted happily.

"Ahahahaha, Laffy-chan, you really did survive!"

Two burning rockets flew past the enemy, and the two were flying in the sky, with a glittering glow.

But the Purifier didn't care at all, and when attacked, it still had the energy to fight back against the ship girls on the sea.

Suddenly, a carrier-based aircraft hidden in the clouds jumped out and collided with the Purifier.

"boom----!!!"

The Purifier's high-speed moving figure paused, the flames of the explosion dissipated, and except for a little more ash on her body, the attack of the carrier-based aircraft did not cause much damage to her. It was the third ship girl besides the Royal Ark and Long Island.

"Ah?"

The Purifier tilted her head, and after the fire that blocked her vision disappeared, dozens of carrier-based aircraft surrounded her from all sides, leaving her no chance to escape.

"I got you

! ”

On the sea, seeing the Purifiers surrounded by her and Changdao's carrier-based aircraft, Royal Ark's eyes became even more fierce.

It was she, this Siren, who sank her most adorable sister Rafi!

I can’t stand it, I can’t accept it, and I can’t forgive it!

"Go to hell!!!"

Dozens of carrier-based aircraft rushed towards the Purifier at the same time. Although the torpedoes and explosives would not fly, they could still cause damage when they were placed in the carrier-based aircraft and collided with the Purifier.

The Royal Ark has always been very good at this kind of fighting style, and now after awakening, it has brought its expertise to full play.

However, when the carrier-based aircraft rushed towards the Purifier, the Royal Ark saw Rafi reappearing on the sea through the perspective of the carrier-based aircraft, and the indifferent expression disappeared in an instant.

"Sister Rafi?!!"

The moment he saw Lafite, Royal Ark almost lost control of himself and came out of his awakened state.

The Royal Ark is different from the Prince of Wales. She has not truly stepped into this level. She has only borrowed the memories and experiences of the mirror Royal Ark, plus strong emotions, to maintain her current state.

The moment they saw Lafite, the Royal Ark's determination to fight and seek revenge suddenly weakened a lot.

"Oh, oh, I can't hold on any longer!"

The expressionless face showed some emotion, and the dead eyes became lively.

But this is not necessarily a good thing for the current situation.

"There is a flaw!"

The Purifier, who was surrounded by the Royal Ark and Long Island's carrier-based aircraft, laughed and released rays from the gun barrels on his body, blasting two carrier-based aircraft into pieces and passing directly through the gap between the explosions of the carrier-based aircraft.

"Well, let me see, haha, something seems to be wrong with the tester."

Seeing the tester hit by Rafi's shells, the Purifier showed a heartless smile on his face.

On the other side, an alarm sounded in the mind of the tester who was hit by Rafi's shell.

【warning...warning...warning...The damage received is beyond the damage control speed range! 】

Dozens of shells hit the tester directly, and it was nearly sunk by Laffey. It had been hit so many times by Prince of Wales before, but now it was seriously injured by a destroyer.

"How could a mere destroyer hurt me to this extent!"

The tester smiled grimly and looked up at the Purifier not far away.

"Hey, Purifier, you should have had enough fun, right? If you fail to complete the mission, you will be scolded when you return."

"Haha, looks like I can only play with you guys till this point. It's too much for me to handle so many ship girls at the same time. How about this, I'll let you go, and you can leave the Prince of Wales to me? We only need her."

The Purifier floating in the sky laughed and snapped his fingers. On the broken island, a waterway wide enough for a warship to pass through appeared in front of a group of ship girls.

"Hehe~, this is the way to leave. As long as you hand her over to us, we can even consider closing the mirror sea here."

Noticing the slightly changed expressions of the ship girls, the Purifier opened his arms like a good guy and said with a grin, "This condition should be more beneficial than harmful to you, right? The Prince of Wales is just a replica we made. Your enemy is not a real ship girl, so she cannot be considered your companion. Therefore, even if you hand her over to us, it cannot be called a betrayal."

"On the contrary, if we attack at night, Group 69.④⑨'③六①三⑤, if you continue to fight me, I will not show mercy."

The ferocious gun barrels were accumulating energy in the sky. The Purifier looked down from above and said with a smile, "It's not easy to grow to your level. Is it really okay to just sink like this? If I continue to fight, I may lose, but apart from the stronger ones, how many of the rest can survive?"

The cruel reality before them made the group of ship girls silent.

There is no doubt that this is Siren's strategy to sow discord.

However, what the Purifier said is also the reality that the ship girls have to face.

If the Purifiers attacked Long Island and Wichita, which were sheltering the injured ship girls, it would be difficult for them to withstand the Purifiers' attacks given their hull durability.

After hearing the Purifier's words, the Prince of Wales looked at the waterway behind the Purifier and the Tester, slightly dazed.

At the other end of the waterway, the sky was already a little twilight. Noisy seabirds flew over the sea, sea fish jumped out of the water, and faint clouds floated slowly. Completely different from the mirror-like sea was the sparkling sea rippling with golden light.

Through the not-so-large waterway, you could even see a corner of the slowly setting sun.

Is this the world outside? It's really beautiful. I really want to go and see it.

thought the Prince of Wales.

But all this has nothing to do with her.

She was just a replica created by the Siren, a prop used in experiments, and it was impossible for her to be free.

Is she the only one needed?

fair enough.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of the Prince of Wales' mouth.

She looked at the purifiers and testers in the sky and said calmly, "As long as you can keep your promise, what if I give my life back to you?

"

As soon as the Prince of Wales finished speaking, the counterattack on the Laffite shouted: "Prince of Wales! Are you stupid? How can you believe the Siren's words? Do you think I will be happy if I leave alone?"

"The Royal Ark has sunk. If you leave me again, how am I going to survive alone?"

"I am your flagship. How can a flagship abandon the one it is protecting and live alone?"

Seeing the anxiously shouting counterattack standing on the hull of Laffey, a doting smile appeared on the Prince of Wales' face.

"Fool, don't you understand? I can't live anymore."
