Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 510: Sleepless Night
Surrounding is not as simple as drawing a circle on the map, especially on the sea.Here, there are no mountains and rivers, no canyons and cliffs. These natural terrains can provide the ship girls with predictions of the enemy's movements.Edelweiss Island is an isolated island and is large enough. There is no small island that must be fought over to force Mirage's main support.

Between Wutou Island and Edelweiss Island, the sea is extremely flat and there is no natural strait. Of course, there is no such perfect location for venting artillery fire as the Surigao Strait.

This is an empty sea, so both Hood and Wales know that to be able to form an effective encirclement, they and the ship girls have very high requirements for the ability to judge the mirage trajectory.Because in this sea state, no one can force the mirage to go where it must go through the environment and strategy.The direction in which they retreat is completely random. Except for the north, which they would go to if they were crazy, any other direction is possible.

Although Wales said this to Sister Nelson, she was not sure in her heart. No one could guarantee that the retreating mirage would definitely move due west. As long as the mirage shifted five degrees south or north from its initial position, Welsh and the others will all pass by the main force of the Mirage, which will make this plan to attack Evelvet Island's ability to infringe on Jialan Territory in one fell swoop fall short.

Wales are taking a gamble.

She seldom gambled, but when it came to big events like this, she sometimes had to throw a few dice.

This is not only a matter of luck, but also closely related to the commander's courage. Unless there is a person with a great heart, few people will make such a decisive judgment at this time. Most mediocre officers will actually be more willing to The Japanese fleet that plunged into the Surigao Strait usually made several turns on the sea.

There is no doubt that Wales made the right bet.

She breathed a sigh of relief as Rodney's tracer illuminated the Mirage Fleet.

But soon, this tone was raised.

There are only three people in our own fleet, but there are more than a dozen mirage troops on the opposite side, and most of them are mirage captains.The disparity in the numbers between the enemy and ourselves can be said to be the highest in any battle in the Gloria Territory. Even in the entire Blue Federation, there is no such contrasting battle.

Rodney fired.

The angry cannonball pierced the night sky and landed on one of the mirages.

The mirage captain, who had not yet had time to be identified by Gloriosa, was directly killed by Rodney's cannonball and sank into the sea within a few minutes.

The "Mudskipper" had not yet recovered from the fear of being suppressed by Tirpitz's fleet in all directions, when his teammates suffered such a fatal blow.

She looked at the "turtle" aside with suspicion.

A long-lost fear appeared on the "turtle's" face.

It is rare for a "mudskipper" to show fear when seeing a "turtle". Its abundant health, strong armor, and ultimate damage reduction ability allow the "turtle" to face the fire of most enemies, even the Poseidon with the dew flower collar. Haiyouxing, she can also receive its deadly shells without any change of heart.

It can be said that in the entire Edelweiss Island, Mirage who has not experienced being protected by the "turtle" skill is definitely a weakling, because this means that she does not have the strength to go on the battlefield.With nearly 90.00% damage reduction, the turtle can withstand all bombardments for the entire team. This is what she did during the head-on confrontation with the Tirpitz fleet just now.

But the Tirpitz fleet is not just composed of Tirpitz and Bismarck. Veneto and Richelieu are both leaders among the battleships, especially Veneto, which has excellent attributes and skills. With the blessing, this seemingly harmless little guy suddenly had the firepower to stand out from the crowd. Just the damage Veneto inflicted on the entire mirage army made the "turtle" a little frightened.

She should be lucky that because the array was adjusted before the war, the Tirpitz fleet and the "Mudskipper" force were in the same formation. Otherwise, once the T was inferior, Richelieu might have to let the "Turtle" try Let’s see what is the horror of a night battle with a critical hit that can cause thousands of damage.That was a real shot that could kill someone.

Even with a [-]% reduction in damage, the turtle would probably be shot after eating it.

After a round of confrontation with Tirpitz, the "turtle" who was originally in full condition was already scarred.The level and damage of Rodney's shelling just now is definitely not inferior to those of the battleships just now. If the "Turtle" blocks it for this companion, I am afraid that he will fall into the same embarrassing situation as when he was protected by the "Sea Urchin" fleet. .

Seeing the expression of "Turtle", "Mudskipper"'s face changed slightly. She never expected that just after experiencing a fierce naval battle, "Turtle"'s injuries had reached the limit. You know, this possessor The mirage with special abilities is a legend in the entire mirage world. She is the most powerful guarantee for Edelweiss Island to have the confidence to face the sea god of Luweihua. In the past battles, even after a week of fighting, She was so lively and lively that she never imagined that today was not over yet and she had already begun to shrink her protective scope.

It seems that the fleet just now was not only surging in momentum, but also probably extremely terrifying in terms of the power of the cannonballs.

damn it!
Mudskipper thought angrily.

If there wasn't a guy with blue hair and twin tails in that fleet who kept using a shield to block his own cannonballs, with his own ability, he would at least be able to inflict a certain degree of damage on those sea souls, greatly reducing the pressure on the "turtles".

But now, night has come, and the darkness has greatly weakened the ability of the "Mudskipper". Only by firing tracer bullets can she be able to fire the high-level sure-hit bombardment as before. Otherwise, even if the opponent takes action, she may not be able to perceived.

Sweat slowly seeped out of the "mudskipper"'s forehead.The artillery shells just now are enough to prove that there are at least strong opponents among the enemies in front of them.And now he is being chased by a powerful fleet behind him. Once he gets too entangled with the opponent, he is very likely to fall into a trap from two sides, and if he is not careful, his entire army will be annihilated.

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

Another round of bombardment came, and the Prince of Wales led Rodney and Nelson to open fire at the same time.The tracer rounds were the first to arrive, and after illuminating the sea area where they were, the artillery shells followed.

The cannonballs of the three battleships suddenly shocked the already panicked Mirage troops.

As a last resort, the "Mudskipper" had no choice but to send a signal to the "Sunfish" for support overnight, and then ordered the troops to evacuate quickly southward, approaching the safe harbor - Edelweiss Island.

After marching five or six nautical miles to Edelweiss Island, the "Mudskipper" suddenly ordered a turn.

"What's wrong?" "Turtle" asked concerned.

"I'm worried that they also have an ambush in the south." "Mudskipper" expressed his worries, "Now they must all think that we are going south. In this case, they will do the opposite. We will go north first to avoid Their sharpness, wait until daytime, when the 'Mola' sends out reinforcements, then we can make plans."

"The north has penetrated into the Gloria Territory soon? This is even more dangerous." "Turtle" disagreed.

"Mudskipper" is very confident: "Hmph! Looking at their posture today, I'm afraid they have sent out all the main forces to surround us. How long has the Jialan Territory developed? I don't believe they can still spend a main force to come to the north. Wait for us. We won’t go deep. After the night is over and reinforcements are sent from the Sunfish, we will go south again. It’s not certain who will annihilate whom by then!”
