"emission!"
The attack order was issued in a firm tone, but the enemy army had not responded yet. Vernon knew that this victory still belonged to Britannia.
But he was doomed to be disappointed. Countless artillery shells shot into the dark sky with roaring tail flames, bringing up long parabolas. However, just when they were about to hit the frightened enemy, all the shells mysteriously exploded in mid-air. Only A few flaming fragments fell on the Chinese Federation warship. Vernon held the telescope for a long time, making sure that he had seen correctly, and all the inevitable attacks failed.
Cannonball malfunction? Secret weapon? Or is it for some other reason?
Vernon stood in the command room of the main ship. The wind began to howl like a devil, and the rain that had been brewing for a long time poured from the sky. Drops of rain hit the glass in front of him, and also hit his heart. Although he knew that it was a technological explosion. During the period of rapid growth, but in all his years of fighting in the ocean, he has never seen a situation where the fired artillery shells would explode before hitting the enemy. However, he knew very well that he was the backbone of the entire army and could not show any signs of it under any circumstances. panic.
"Continue to attack and find out the reason!"
Vernon took out a delicate iron box from his military uniform and took out the last remaining cigar. After lighting it, he deeply washed the smoke into his lungs. This could calm him down and smoke the cigar. Image can also give crew members confidence.
Another round of artillery shells was fired into the dense rain curtain, and the sea fog that was gradually thinning slowly dispersed. This time everyone could see clearly, almost continuous fire points flying from the rear of the Chinese Federation fleet, mid-air. All the shells in the target were hit, and the previous situation occurred again.
machine gun? No, Vernon rejected his guess. No machine gun could have that kind of density and firing frequency.
"General...General, look to the right!"
At this moment, a nearby detector put down his telescope and anxiously pointed in a direction to Vernon, but his reminder was no longer needed. A huge black shadow like a prehistoric beast roared from the right side of the Chinese Federation fleet. Rushing out, accompanied by water splashes several meters high along the way, you can feel the powerful pressure even under the rain. Some things only need size and speed.
"Send a flare to see what that thing is."
Vernon was basically certain in his heart that it was a secret weapon. It might be the Chinese Federation, or it might be those mechas that he had never seen before. But the unknown was always scarier than the known. Now that it had appeared, he I believe that Britannia's strong ships and cannons will achieve final victory.
Several white flares were shot high into the sky. In this world where battlefield detection technology is not very developed, the lighting technology used in night battles has been fully developed. For a while, several small white suns seemed to appear in the rainy sky. It illuminates the sea under dark clouds and heavy rain.
"hiss--!"
Several uncontrollable gasps came from the command room of Britannia. Even Vernon himself almost showed his inner shock on his face. Every detector holding a telescope could see that the Chinese Federation stopped quietly. The shadow not far away is a triangular fortress composed of three huge iron balls. Regardless of how such a huge figure travels at such an alarming speed, the densely packed turrets on the iron balls alone make people feel endlessly excited. A surge of cold air.
A war fortress built for war!
This is the thought of everyone present, including people from the Chinese Federation. They have just seen with their own eyes how this war fortress fired a dense and terrifying metal storm, intercepting all the enemy's artillery shells in mid-air. I believe that no matter how Any kind of mecha would turn into a real ball of iron mud under that kind of attack.
"Is this... your country's weapon of war?"
Li Xingke, who returned to the deck, swallowed hard, turned around and looked at a magic soldier beside him. He had power far beyond that of humans, even like a god, plus a terrifying machine that could fly. A, and this kind of weapon that can make you feel cold just by looking at it. If the Chinese Federation is on the opposite side of them, it will be a disaster for the entire country.
"Yes." The magician soldier nodded calmly, "The driver of the 'Three Cores' is our General Shen's sister. This time she came to help in a private capacity, so you don't have to do anything. You just need to be good." Just watch it.”
Slowly exhaling, Li Xingkeng said nothing more. There was already a hint of regret in his heart. The mere tip of the iceberg revealed by the country of China already gave them no right to refuse. It would be better to say that they could become a vassal state. On the contrary, it is the best result, because this is the fate of the weak.
On the other side, after much hesitation, Vernon decided to test the opponent's strength. The ammunition required for so many turrets and the load when starting are unimaginable. There is a certain limit to the weapons that any sea ship can withstand. The upper limit, maybe the other party is just acting like this? It's possible that it's all made of foam, to reduce weight and increase speed.
"The entire fleet is arranged in the third formation! Target the enemy's right side! Cross attack!"
The so-called third formation is to extend the fleet as much as possible, disperse it, and encircle and suppress the enemy. At this time, it is used to limit the enemy's speed and intensive barrage attacks. Vernon has rich military experience The naval general immediately adopted the most suitable war arrangement.
"Are you just waiting for them to finish setting up?"
Shen Fu piloted the mecha and sat cross-legged in the middle of the three cores. He hooked his arms on the deck to avoid being thrown out during acceleration. Because he didn't know much about the way Object was used in war, all the controls were done by Shen Fu. Xin decides for herself.
"It's no problem, brother. The 'Three Cores' have no so-called blind spots at sea level. Isn't the purpose of this war a shock?"
Shen Xin's virtual full-body image appeared in the lower right corner of Shen Fu's cockpit. In so many large and small wars she participated in in Zhanchi World, she basically decided on her own specific fighting methods instead of completely obeying them like before. Commanding, whether it was an illusion or not, Shen Fu suddenly noticed that her figure seemed to have grown slightly.
"That's right." Shen Fu turned his head slightly and looked at the enemy, "They are about to start attacking."
The quality of Britannia's army is still very good. From his point of view, the change of formation is very decisive and rapid. Even if they have remained stationary, they have not relaxed their vigilance at all. The main ship is always under the protection of other ships. under.
