Elder brother's garrison

Page 2498

With two loud booms, the shells hit the water.

Rome looked toward the source of the shells and saw Missouri at the rear of the Iowa-class ship girls formation in the distance, carrying her ship-mounted main gun with a smile on her face, looking in their direction.

“No way, Roma-senpai.” Missouri mouthed with a smile, her voice seemingly reaching Roma’s ears, “If you want to hit Iowa-neechan again, you’ll have to step over Missouri’s body first.”

"Waaah..." Rome sighed helplessly.

Missouri truly lives up to her reputation as one of the top ship girls in newbie naval bases. Even without using ship equipment skills, her battleship gunnery and a series of basic battlefield skills are all at the highest level.

Although she usually keeps a low profile, those who know her well know that she is the ultimate boss in the Iowa class...

Although I think I just heard Wisconsin say that Missouri lost her battleship skills, even as a basic ship girl, her excellent gunnery and insight still make her one of the most threatening ships.

With Missouri keeping a close watch, it seems he will never be able to catch up with Iowa again.

After a ship girl is damaged, her strength will decline significantly.

At this point, the Iowa-class ship girls were clearly at a disadvantage, but Wisconsin was still desperately looking for an opportunity to win.

"In short... let's change back first."

Wisconsin took a deep breath and withdrew his domain skill.

With Wisconsin retracting its skill, the Veneto-class ship girls' movements became noticeably easier.

Wisconsin launched an artillery barrage, firing several more shots in the direction of Veneto.

"Then, slow down!"

Wisconsin watched as the shells rained down on Veneto, her eyes suddenly lighting up as her domain skill was activated once more.

Between the fast and slow movements, a strong sense of incongruity arises, and the movements of the Veneto-class ship girls become uncoordinated and distorted once again.

"It's now!"

The shells arrived in front of Veneto almost instantly. Due to inertia, Veneto's body did not seem to dodge. Her eyes were calm and deep, staring intently at Wisconsin.

The shells are close.

However, at this critical moment, Veneto's eyes revealed a look of confidence.

The next moment, Veneto gently lifted her leg and pushed off the ship's rigging behind her, leaping to one side in mid-air.

Then, with a flash of white light, Veneto retrieved its ship equipment.

The shells whizzed past Veneto's petite body and crashed into the water behind her.

In the blink of an eye, Veneto summoned his ship's equipment once more, landed back on the water, and aimed his cannons at the bewildered Wisconsin.

Wisconsin was shocked.

Veneto actually... only experienced it twice, and she has already completely adapted to her skill interference!

Moreover... she seems to have discovered that her body pauses for a moment when she turns her skills on and off!

Oops.

"boom!!!"

The shell left the barrel, and Veneto, taking advantage of Wisconsin's artillery fire and skill stun, fired a shot straight at her.

Wisconsin tried to dodge, but the sluggishness caused by the activation of her skill slowed her reaction by a beat. Even though she twisted her body with all her might, part of her ship equipment was still hit by the shell.

bump! ! !

Lightning flashed everywhere.

Even though it wasn't a vital area that was hit, the power of Veneto's shelling seemed to be much greater than usual. Wisconsin felt her body uncontrollably thrown backward, her ship's equipment was damaged, and her limbs went numb.

After Wisconsin stopped moving, she subconsciously checked her physical condition and her expression darkened.

Damn, it's been breached...

Rome then sought to launch another attack on Wisconsin.

Unfortunately, Missouri in the Iowa-class team fired the first shot, interrupting Rome's finishing blow.

After a brief exchange of fire, the two teams quickly separated and returned to a safe distance.

Bombs continued to fall from the sky.

Veneto looked at Wisconsin, took a deep breath, and watched the Iowa-class ship girls dodging the rain of bombs. Her expression was serious as she murmured to herself.

"Finally... I've gotten used to your annoying skill."

Chapter 3494 The Last Stand

The situation on the battlefield is like a constantly changing storm at sea, with huge changes occurring every second due to unforeseen events.

Wisconsin and Iowa, dragging their moderately damaged ship rigging, dodged the barrage of bullets raining down from the sky alongside Missouri, while the four unscathed ship girls of the Veneto class pressed forward relentlessly, squeezing out the Iowa-class ship girls' living space time and time again.

Just a few minutes ago, the Iowa-class ships clearly had the absolute advantage on the sea, but in the blink of an eye, the two sides of ship girls in the battle were like the two poles of a magnet, and a huge reversal occurred.

All of this was simply because of a new ship girl whose ship equipment level was seven!

The ship girls who understood the situation turned their attention to the water, and for a moment, many eyes were focused on Littorio.

Seeing Littorio's calm and composed, seemingly unaffected, weary expression, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh.

"My God... Just because of Littorio, the battle that was about to collapse has been completely reversed. She's really amazing!"

"Yes, Admiral Lu Lin's ship Littorio was just born, and her ship equipment level is still so low, but her skills are amazing! Group Holy Shield and stuff like that, I can't even imagine!"

"Instructor Veneto is also very capable! It was she who seized the opportunity of the group Holy Shield that allowed her to inflict heavy damage on the Iowa-class!"

"Ship girls born with innate skills... Sigh, how come all the ship girls in the newbie naval base are so powerful? I've been training diligently for two years, but I haven't even shown any signs of upgrading, let alone any skills..."

"This is what a beginner's naval base looks like."

"I have a feeling that this Littorio will soon become one of the most powerful ship girls in the newbie naval base!"

"..."

The ship girls on shore were excitedly discussing the battle, which never stopped on the sea.

Following the departure of New Jersey after being heavily damaged, Wisconsin and Iowa were subsequently moderately damaged. For the Iowa-class ship girls, the originally tense battle situation suddenly turned into a huge disadvantage, and the balance of victory tilted greatly towards the Veneto-class ship girls.

The Veneto-class ship girls relentlessly pursued them, with fierce artillery barrages and bombs raining down from the sky blocking their retreat. The pressure of the main battlefield fell entirely on the Wisconsin, which was at the forefront.

Veneto had no intention of giving the Iowa-class ship girls a chance to catch their breath; she was ready to seize the opportunity and win the game in one fell swoop.

"Boom!!"

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

The sounds of various shells exploding echoed around the remaining three Iowa-class ship girls as Wisconsin struggled to maintain her moderately damaged ship equipment.

"This...this is bad, my skills aren't working on Veneto..." Wisconsin gritted her teeth, looking at the bow of the Veneto-class destroyer, with Veneto brandishing her massive ship rigging, her face full of helplessness. "Hey...no matter what, Veneto adapted way too fast..."

The ship equipment skills of Wisconsin are still effective.

If it weren't for Wisconsin's skills being constantly active, then with only two moderately damaged battleships in the team, they wouldn't have been able to hold out until now under the full firepower of the Veneto-class battleships.

However... while Wisconsin's skill makes the enemy's body heavy, its most powerful effect is indeed the impact it has on the enemy at the moment of activating and deactivating the skill.

Wisconsin's abilities are like an invisible gravitational field.

The instantaneous shift in weight of the body during the appearance and disappearance of the gravitational field creates a great sense of disorientation for the opponent, causing a brief but significant stiffness and opening in their movements. This momentary opening often gives Wisconsin a decisive opportunity to win.

The battle just now was indeed like that. Relying on the instantaneous effect brought by the switch skill, Wisconsin successfully interfered with Veneto twice and won a huge victory for the Iowa-class ship girls.

Unfortunately……

These two crucial attack opportunities were blocked by Littorio's group Divine Shield. Furthermore, the experience of switching skills on and off twice allowed the astute Veneto to fully adapt to the changes in Wisconsin's skills and find a way to attack Wisconsin in reverse.

From now on, Wisconsin can no longer frequently toggle skills on and off.

Veneto was watching Wisconsin's movements intently from a distance.

If Wisconsin dares to disable her skill again, then during the skill's stun period, she will definitely be blasted into a heavily damaged state by Veneto's cannon.

Therefore, Wisconsin can only maintain the effect of the gravity field now, turning this powerful interference skill back into a normal weakening skill, greatly reducing its strategic value.

“After all, that’s Senior Veneto. Her combat capabilities are among the best in the naval base,” Missouri said to Wisconsin with a smile.

"Missouri, even at a time like this, you're still patting others on the back!" Wisconsin turned her head, looking at Missouri with an expression that said, "I'm really angry. Don't forget who we're fighting for!"

“Missouri certainly knows.” Missouri nodded with a smile.

"You... sigh, never mind, you're just a blank slate ship girl anyway, there's no point in talking to you about this." Wisconsin wanted to complain, but looking at the smiling Missouri, she sighed helplessly, turned to the Veneto-class ship girls, and said, "The situation is already extremely unfavorable for us, and playing it safe is obviously not reliable... We have to think of a way to make one last desperate attempt and try to achieve something big!"

“Hmm… if we’re going to go big… Missouri has an idea,” Missouri said from behind.

"what idea?"

“That’s right.” Missouri smiled and held up a finger. “While Littorio’s group Aegis is powerful, the Aegis uses on Roma and Veneto have already been used up. And the Veneto-class combat power currently consists only of Roma and Veneto. The remaining two… Littorio’s training level isn’t high, and the Empire is, after all, just an aircraft carrier, lacking self-defense capabilities against close-range battleships. So, if we can replace Roma and Veneto, even if only one moderately damaged battleship remains, it will be enough to wipe out Littorio and the Empire.”

"What you said is as good as saying nothing at all. Putting aside Rome, Veneto is not an easy opponent to deal with," Wisconsin said.

“That’s what I mean.” Missouri nodded. “Then please leave Senior Veneto to me, Missouri. I will do my best.”

"You?!" Wisconsin's expression was strange. "Wait a minute, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that how are you going to beat Veneto?"

“This is the only way we can do it, isn’t it?” Missouri replied with a smile.

“Wisconsin, Missouri is right, this is our only chance,” Iowa interjected with a smile. “Veneto is not a match for us in our current weakened state, so whether Missouri is capable or not, this is the only thing we can do now.”

"Huh? What, Iowa, you too... Ahhhhh!" Wisconsin looked at Iowa in surprise, but seeing her two smiling sisters, she felt overwhelmed. She scratched her head helplessly and sighed deeply, "Alright, alright—I'll do whatever you say! It's all about going all out! I know! Let's go for it!"

Missouri and Iowa exchanged a smile.

After Wisconsin finished speaking, she took a deep breath.

The three Iowa-class ship girls exchanged glances, and the next second, their speed suddenly increased.

On the other side of the water, the Veneto-class ship girls, noticing the movements of the Iowa-class ship girls, tensed up.

“They’ve arrived,” Veneto said.

"Huh? What's coming?" Rome asked, bewildered.

"The Iowa-class counterattack, the final wave." Veneto placed one hand on his ship rigging, watching the Iowa-class ship girls rapidly approaching. "Rome, prepare for battle."

"Understood, boss!" Rome replied earnestly.

In the blink of an eye, the Iowa-class ship girls had reached a dangerous distance between the two sides.

The first ship girl to enter a dangerous distance is often the one in the most danger.

Under the watchful eyes of the Veneto-class ship girls, Wisconsin was the first to step into the dangerous waters.

"Fire!" Roma swiftly aimed her cannonballs at Wisconsin. At such a distance, even against a rookie naval base's frontline ship girl, her bombardment was bound to hit.

However, just as the Roman cannonball was about to leave the barrel...

Wisconsin, however, clasped his hands together in front of his chest under everyone's gaze.

"This is your only chance!!!" Wisconsin shouted, her eyes shining brightly, "Change back!!!"

As Wisconsin's voice came through.

The heavy atmosphere in the air dissipated instantly!

The Veneto-class ship girls immediately felt their bodies become lighter.

Being light is a good thing, but suddenly becoming lighter is like suddenly increasing the sensitivity of a mouse while playing an FPS game. For ship girls who are in the midst of intense battle, it is a very unpleasant thing to do.

The sudden lightness of his body caused Rome's aim to shift momentarily as he prepared to fire.

"……what?"

Rome was taken aback.

Wisconsin, how dare she use her skill at this distance!

Isn't she afraid of being attacked by the gang leader?

The moment Rome calibrated the cannon, he subconsciously glanced at Veneto.

As expected, Veneto, unaffected by Wisconsin's abilities, had already targeted Wisconsin, who was already within dangerous range.

Veneto's face was now filled with only indifference and authority.

Boom! ! !

A deadly shell was ejected from Veneto's cannon barrel and hurtled straight toward Wisconsin.
