Thank goodness it's a greatsword!
With a hiss, Montana's legs emitted a burst of air, and as if relaying a rocket through the void, she braced herself with Elizabeth's greatsword, pulled her legs up, and leaped from the water.
As agile as a rabbit.
However, even this level of evasion seemed to have been anticipated by Elizabeth long ago.
The next second, Elizabeth let go and dropped the sword, which crashed into the water with a loud thud. Then, she raised the shield on her left and slammed it down on Montana's suspended body.
Boom! !
Montana's body was struck hard by the shield.
With a splash, water sprayed several meters high behind Elizabeth.
The powerful shield bash, no matter how strong, was still just an ordinary physical attack and couldn't break through the ship girl's ship armor defense. Although the attack didn't cause her any damage, a surge of immense force sent her flying uncontrollably backward.
Montana flew back to his original position in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the bombs falling from the sky.
what……
So she had been planning all along to shoot herself back into the bomb's impact zone...
This group of ship girls is really... well-coordinated.
Montana smiled as he watched the bomb approaching.
"Warning! Bomb attack detected. Evasion route planned for you. Optimal route selected. The main body is currently unable to move, greatly reducing the success rate of evasion! Fully automatic evasion success rate is 3.2%, semi-automatic evasion success rate is 12.5%. Warning, warning—"
In Montana's combat lens, conspicuous red data popped up rapidly.
Then, in a flash of light, the bomb approached Montana.
boom! ! !
Terrifying flames engulfed Montana's figure, and the sea was ablaze with raging fire.
At the edge of the flames, Elizabeth stared wide-eyed at the sea of fire. She waved to the sea not far away, and the ship's greatsword that had fallen into the water flew back into her hand with a whoosh.
"Elizabeth! Enemy hit!"
A squad of ship girls sped over, their eyes gleaming as they gazed at the sea of fire.
"Don't be careless, the battle isn't over yet!" Elizabeth said to everyone. "Our advantage in the previous battle was just that we had the initiative, but the salvage ship girl didn't attack us. We don't know how much damage the B25 bombs did to her, but it certainly wasn't enough to end the battle. The real battle is about to begin."
"understand!"
The ship girls responded in unison, and then all looked towards the sea of fire.
The sea of fire flickered, but Montana's figure did not appear on the surface for a long time.
The ship girls waited for several seconds, their brows furrowed.
Wait a minute... the fire is so big, why haven't the salvage ship girls appeared yet?
Even if the B-25 bomb didn't cause her serious damage, if she didn't break free from the inferno sooner, the raging flames and the suffocating environment could still cause her significant secondary damage...
Was she defeated in one fell swoop?
Looking at the sea of fire that still had no one in sight, the ship girls thought to themselves.
its not right……
Although the B25 bomb is incredibly powerful, are salvaged ship girls really that fragile?
The ship girls were puzzled again.
Just then, Elizabeth gazed at the raging flames, and suddenly, as if lost in thought, she raised her head and looked up at the sky.
then.
Elizabeth was greatly surprised.
"Ahhhhhh!! No, she's in the sky!!!"
Elizabeth shouted.
Upon hearing Elizabeth's voice, all the ship girls quickly looked up at the sky.
really.
Right in everyone's sight, a familiar figure was hovering directly above the sea of fire.
The flames of the inferno distorted the space in mid-air.
Montana, however, appeared completely at ease, even somewhat comfortable, as he floated in the distorted space, looking down at the crowd.
"She can actually...fly!!"
The ship girls behind Elizabeth gasped in surprise.
Elizabeth stared wide-eyed at Montana, who was engulfed in flames, her gaze fixed on his blue trench coat.
Montana was completely unharmed!
How did she dodge the bomb?
"Ground evasion system warning, automatically activates flight mode. Flight mode successfully activated. The system detects that the main body cannot move, and the evasion success rate drops significantly. The success rate of fully automatic evasion is 78%, and the success rate of semi-automatic evasion is 100%."
"Abnormal ambient temperature detected around the main body. Combat jacket temperature control system activated to maintain body temperature at 36.7°C. Oxygen supply system activated."
"Enemy ballistic analysis complete."
"Special Individual: Elizabeth. Combat data has been entered; automatic analysis of countermeasures is underway."
"Special individual Elizabeth's attack simulation has been recorded. The interference of special individual Elizabeth will be automatically excluded the next time the evasion system is activated."
"Battle situation analysis complete."
“Enemy threat value calculation has been entered.”
"Data collection complete, begin calculating the win rate for this battle..."
Simulated battle attempts: 10049
"Number of wins: 10047, Number of losses: 0, Number of draws: 2."
"Win rate in this battle simulation: 99.99%"
"The optimal course of action for victory has been determined."
A series of data flashed through Montana's combat lenses.
Chapter 2974 Overwhelming Power
Flames surged on the sea.
Elizabeth's fleet of ship girls resembled beasts circling a hearth, perched on the water's surface. Everyone craned their necks, gazing at the figures of the salvage ship girls that floated like sparks above the sea of fire.
The eyes of Elizabeth and the others were filled with shock, disbelief, and even horror.
—How can there be ship girls that can fly in this world?
—Aren't ship girls supposed to fight on the water's surface?
—How exactly did they manage to do that?
Even though she had witnessed hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of fierce battles, when Elizabeth saw the salvage ship girl fly high into the sky, looking down at her group like a god descending to earth, a strange and uncomfortable feeling, as if she had been completely seen through, instantly enveloped Elizabeth's heart, causing even the originally steadfast Elizabeth to waver.
wrong!
The hesitation... lasted too long!
Time in the real world flows much slower than Elizabeth's thoughts, but even so, three or four seconds have probably passed outside.
In fast-paced, intense battles, even a three- or four-second gap in rhythm can be extremely dangerous.
Elizabeth's usually obtuse heart wavered, but a sudden warning also struck her. She quickly bit her lip, and a sharp pain brought her back from her trembling.
I am... a ship girl!
When ship girls are in battle, they don't need to consider anything except the means to win!
"Everyone on alert!"
Elizabeth shouted.
Elizabeth's shout reached the ears of the surrounding team members, causing the ship girls present to jolt and come back to their senses.
However... it was too late.
Just as the ship girl crew members came to their senses, as if seizing an opportunity, the salvage ship girls floating in the flames also started to move.
Buzz————
A tremendous roar erupted from behind the salvaged ship girl, and the slowly burning sea of fire suddenly created a vacuum-like path. In the blink of an eye, the salvaged ship girl in the sky had completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Immediately afterwards, the ship girls felt the temperature around them rise rapidly.
Everyone looked in Elizabeth's direction as if by some strange impulse.
Sure enough, the salvage ship girl had arrived in front of Elizabeth as if by teleportation. Flames from the sea of fire still clung to her body, and steam began to rise noticeably from the water she touched with her toes.
"The response was good, but unfortunately, it was still a bit late."
The last thing the ship girls heard was a voice of praise from the salvaged ship girl, as if time had stopped.
Time begins to flow.
boom! ! !
The salvaged ship girl didn't actually teleport from the sky to Elizabeth's side. In reality, she simply launched an extremely fast dash followed by a powerful braking ability, stopping right in front of Elizabeth. In doing so, the salvaged ship girl herself transformed into a red-hot projectile. Upon impact with the water, the undiminished, intense kinetic energy instantly shattered the surface, triggering a massive explosion.
Thick, powerful currents of water rose in layers, splashing everywhere, and pushed all the ship girl crew members except Elizabeth several meters away.
At the very center of the exploding water flow, Elizabeth immediately raised her giant shield to mitigate the oncoming impact. Then, she raised her greatsword with her right hand, transforming it into a spear. She slightly turned her body to reveal her vision, and then thrust it forward fiercely.
Elizabeth's sword was thick and steady, and the gale force on the blade easily cut through the water, like a dragon raising its head.
Before Elizabeth's sword could even pierce the salvage ship girl, the moment she cut through the thick water curtain, Elizabeth, upon seeing the view behind the water curtain, instantly revealed an unexpected expression.
Behind the water curtain... there was nothing.
Elizabeth paused briefly, then her pupils contracted as she turned her head to look in the direction of her teammates.
wrong!
The salvage ship girls' counterattack this time wasn't aimed at themselves!
She just wanted everyone to think that she was going to attack her!
"Watch your surroundings!" Elizabeth shouted, wielding her greatsword and slicing through the surging water.
The water curtain finally fell at this moment.
After the water curtain fell, everyone finally saw the salvaged ship girl again.
At this moment, the salvage ship girl was standing on the water. The ship equipment behind her had been assembled into two much slender cannons, with a faint smoke emanating from the muzzles.
Not far from the salvage site, two aircraft carrier ship girls were squatting on the water, covered in sweat. Their ship equipment had two rather large wounds on their backs, sparks flying out in the eyes of everyone. Although they hadn't been hit by a single shot and were severely damaged, the obvious damage had affected the performance of their ship equipment, and they were not far from being moderately damaged.
Elizabeth quickly left the salvage ship girl and, along with the other ship girls, swiftly returned to the two aircraft carrier ship girls.
"How is it going?" Elizabeth asked quickly, her eyes fixed on the figure of the salvaged ship girl.
"Report, our ship equipment is nearing moderate damage... its performance has declined significantly, but the carrier-based aircraft are still barely usable." One of the two carrier girls looked regretful as she gritted her teeth and said, "The situation just happened too fast. We were still thinking about how to support you when she suddenly appeared from behind the water curtain, carrying that shell and launching an attack on me. The situation was too sudden. We tried our best to dodge, and we could only manage to avoid being knocked down by one shot..."
Hearing the speech behind her, Elizabeth's gaze shifted to the ship cannon behind the salvaged ship girl.
The ship cannons that are salvaged from ship girls can change their form at will. At this time, the ship cannons are much thinner than the previous huge form, so their power is naturally not as strong as before, and they can no longer kill a ship girl with one shot.
But correspondingly... its power is reduced, but its stealth and speed are increased.
So, did she just pretend to launch a surprise attack on herself, using the water flow to obscure her vision and attract everyone's attention before switching to stealth mode and launching a real attack on the two aircraft carrier girls?
What a formidable enemy!
What a quick response!
If we weren't battle-hardened warriors who had developed muscle reflexes that made our bodies react before our minds, we probably would have lost two key air superiority ship girls in that simple probing attack launched by the salvage ship girls!
Elizabeth thought to herself with these thoughts.
Montana gazed at the Elizabeth shipgirl squadron before her, and slightly raised her hand to look at her palm.
"The raid failed; the enemy aircraft carrier was not shot down."
"The system has detected that the enemy aircraft carrier has suffered significant damage and its equipment performance has decreased by 28%. The system will automatically calculate the threat value."
