Chapter 3495 The Decisive Force

Veneto's cannonball, trailing raging flames, hurtled straight toward Wisconsin.

He has plenty of energy.

The shells carved obvious cracks into the water as they passed.

Wisconsin was already within the battleship's danger zone, and at such close range, it was extremely difficult for her to dodge. Moreover, this shot was fired by Veneto during the aftercast delay of Wisconsin's skill, and it carried the momentum of a one-hit kill.

However, something surprising still happened.

Just as the cannonballs were about to hit Wisconsin, two loud bangs were heard, and two cannonballs flew out from behind Wisconsin. One of them deflected the cannonball that Veneto had fired at Wisconsin, while the other cannonball crossed the water and headed towards Rome in front of Wisconsin.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Rome was still momentarily affected by Wisconsin's abilities.

Rome could only watch helplessly as a cannonball hurtled toward its face.

Rome's face turned pale instantly, and she instinctively narrowed her pupils.

boom! ! !

An explosion rang out in front of Rome, sending sparks flying.

Veneto stared in astonishment at the explosion in front of Rome. Her gaze instinctively followed the direction of the shells and landed on Iowa, who was piloting the damaged ship's equipment.

Iowa actually... intercepted her own shells with her own shells again?

Is it still in a damaged state?

How did she manage to do that, at that distance, with that instantaneous reaction?

Veneto looked at Iowa, but Iowa wasn't looking at him; instead, he was staring intently at Wisconsin.

In an instant, Veneto had a flash of inspiration, his confusion vanished, and he gained a great deal of understanding.

Oh……

Understood.

Iowa... she wasn't watching me just now. She didn't launch this interception attack based on my actions. She just knew in advance when I would launch the attack on Wisconsin.

The timing for him to bombard Wisconsin was the instant she activated her skill.

Very simple reasoning.

In other words, as long as Iowa knows his location and calculates the distance between himself and Wisconsin, he can determine the trajectory of his artillery fire and the time it will take to hit Wisconsin.

Iowa... his artillery accuracy is really disgusting.

Veneto stopped, coldly raising his weapon to prepare for a follow-up attack on Iowa.

However, on the eve of her second attack, a strong sense of vigilance enveloped Veneto's heart.

Veneto immediately abandoned his attack and retreated at lightning speed.

Just as Veneto dodged, several shells pierced through the space she had just been in and slammed into the water, creating a water explosion.

Veneto moved away from the fleet and looked towards the end of the trajectory of the shells.

Missouri stood not far away, carrying the ship's rigging with a smile on her face.

“As expected of senior Veneto, your alertness is truly top-notch,” Missouri said. “At such close range, even if other seniors were aware of it, they would have had difficulty dodging it.”

"...You can't beat me if you only use battleship equipment." Veneto stared at Missouri for a while, then said to her, "I know what you're thinking, and I know what you were thinking just now, but I will definitely take care of you before Wisconsin and Iowa take care of Rome. By then, the two moderately damaged ship girls left won't be able to stop me."

“…Missouri will do everything in her power to stop you.” Missouri did not deny Veneto’s words; she simply smiled and raised her ship’s rigging.

Veneto's expression remained unchanged as he sighed softly.

A brief silence fell between Missouri and Veneto.

Immediately afterwards, the water droplets from the water explosion fell and splashed onto the water's surface.

Blah blah blah...

Veneto's body moved with lightning speed.

Missouri also carried its ship equipment and retreated rapidly to create distance.

boom! !

Shells clashed, and sparks flew everywhere.

Veneto and Missouri clashed fiercely.

……

Just as Veneto and Missouri were locked in fierce combat, the flames in front of Rome finally dissipated.

Wisconsin had expected to see at least moderately damaged Rome, but she was somewhat surprised when she saw the person in the smoke.

Before Rome, the empire stood with its arms outstretched, watching the crowd with unwavering attention.

The pale green light curtain surrounding the empire shattered piece by piece and fell away.

"...Ah...right, the Empire and Littorio still have the Holy Shield..." Wisconsin was not surprised to see the Empire block a fatal shot for Rome.

Littorio's skill... is just too useful.

The cost-effectiveness of this human shield is practically equivalent to having many extra lives.

Wisconsin began to harbor some resentment.

Rome preemptively pulled the Empire behind them and launched its naval arsenal to fire on Wisconsin.

The cannonball flew straight toward Rome, but Wisconsin took a deep breath and remained calm and fearless.

Instead of backing down, Wisconsin took another step forward!

"Slow down!"

The gravitational field reappeared.

boom! ! !

Roman cannonballs also struck Wisconsin at that moment.

The powerful impact instantly wrecked Wisconsin's ship equipment, and Wisconsin's body was almost blown away by the huge force of the shell.

Wisconsin took two steps back. The moment her ship equipment shattered, her ship equipment skills became ineffective, and the gravity field she had just created also dissipated.

In that brief moment, Rome's body underwent a dual transformation of becoming heavier and then lighter, and the powerful sense of incongruity caused Rome's movements to become distorted once again after firing the cannon.

Wisconsin looked at Rome with a smile in his eyes.

This time, my skill has an additional change in intensity compared to the previous interference ability. Under this double interference intensity, apart from Veneto who has adapted to the change in intensity, everyone else has to stand still!

This time, finally no one will take the fall for you!

Iowa, positioned behind Rome, rapidly opened fire on the city.

The cannonball struck Rome in an instant, and under the watchful eyes of the Empire and Littorio, Rome's body was blasted away, and fragments of its ship equipment scattered all over the ground.

Wisconsin watched the flying figure of Rome, observed it carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Rome was indeed badly damaged.

In short... the situation in Rome is temporarily resolved...

The remaining area is Missouri...

Wisconsin turned her head to look towards Missouri.

However, in the instant Wisconsin turned her head, she saw in the distance that Veneto, who had suffered minor damage, was steadily firing a shot, ruthlessly blasting Missouri high into the sky.

Missouri's ship equipment was torn to pieces in mid-air.

Missouri's figure looked like a garbage bag floating in the sky, teetering on the verge of collapse.

After taking care of Missouri, Veneto was almost constantly on the move. She turned her guns around to Wisconsin and Iowa and fired with a bang.

The fiery red shells exploded almost instantly at Wisconsin's feet.

Iowa retreated, narrowly dodging the shot thanks to her excellent anticipation.

However, Wisconsin, which was stationary, screamed and was blown away along with its heavily damaged equipment by Veneto's shell.

This is more or less driven by personal grudges, isn't it?

When Wisconsin was blasted into the sky, his mind was reeling.

Wisconsin looked at the scenery on the water and at Veneto rushing towards Iowa, preparing to rush into Iowa's danger zone to deliver the final blow. Suddenly, she felt a sense of helplessness.

Sigh... In the end, we still lost.

Even though Rome has been dealt with, Veneto is still a formidable opponent.

It's all New Jersey's fault.

If she had been just a little more motivated, if she had actually dodged the shells properly, even if she had only sustained a minor injury, she would probably have had a chance to turn the tide now.

wrong……

Can't say the same.

The situation in New Jersey was simply a case of Veneto targeting them; there was really nothing she could do...

The Iowa class lost again...

As Wisconsin floated in the air, she suddenly felt a little deflated. She was speechless, regretful, and unwilling to give up.

I've actually been working pretty hard...

The world is really realistic when it comes to people who work hard but don't get good results.

In the end, they even blasted him away with a single shot. Seriously.

Leaving like this would be too embarrassing.

At a time like this, if we could win, it would truly be a miracle...

Miracle……

Miracle……

"...Hiss..." Wisconsin, suspended in mid-air, suddenly gasped for breath. She turned her head with difficulty and shouted towards Missouri, who was higher up, "Missouri—you'd better think of something!!!"

Wisconsin's voice, strong and clear, echoed through the sky.

The echoes of Wisconsin reverberated through the sky.

Under the blazing sun, Missouri faced the water, her eyes open, a faint smile playing on her rosy lips.

Missouri has moved.

Missouri, mid-air, raised her right hand and aimed at Veneto on the water's surface.

Missouri's ship equipment was in complete disarray, but her main guns remained intact.

The muzzle of the main gun shone with a blazing light, like a second sun, burning with raging flames in mid-air.

boom! ! ! !

Missouri's main guns opened fire.

A cannonball flew down from the sky toward the water.

The shell seemed to rise into the air, transforming into a burning bird that emitted a melodious whistling sound as it relentlessly pursued Veneto.

This is... the decisive force!

"I knew it!!!" Wisconsin pointed angrily at Missouri in the sky, "What skill disappearance nonsense? You're lying to me again!!!"

Missouri's shells flew toward Veneto.

Veneto looked up at the shell.

A figure darted in front of Veneto, and the pale green curtain opened.

Littorio shielded Veneto, his expression unchanged as he stared at the Missouri shells.

However, to Littorio's surprise, the Missouri shells veered off course, making a shocking 360-degree turn, bypassing the pale green curtain, and struck Veneto behind him.

A terrifying explosion followed.

The blast wave knocked Littorio away from in front of Veneto.

Veneto's body was struck by a fiery shell, his ship's rigging shattered, and he was sent flying to one side.
