Chapter 122: When Attacking, Stop Striking

With this cold sound, fierce artillery fire erupted behind Brunhilde and the others as they returned to the port area.

"This damn guy actually sent a fleet around the vacuum while our carrier-based aircraft were gone!"

Zeppelin glared angrily at the large number of Type II explorers and trackers who appeared behind him, sneering in their blue-black uniforms.

They were put on standby by the testers!

"Ahh!"

Lutzow covered his mouth with a solemn expression; they had been cut off from the back road, and it was going to be very difficult to retreat smoothly at this time.

However, more bad news followed, and the voice of the little profiteer Akashi came through:

"I'm running out of anti-aircraft ammunition! If this drags on, Akashi will become a boat stick!"

At that moment, a barrage of armor-piercing stray bullets with immense destructive power struck from above, tearing through the night sky.

"Boom!!"

In an instant, many mass-produced ships that couldn't dodge were blown away by the explosion. 

Although they were not sunk on the spot, they were severely damaged, struggling at sea with their broken ship suits.

"Everyone, stay alert! The tester is coming!"

Agir looked up and shouted, and everyone turned their gaze to the night sky.

The massive manta ray ship slowly descended from a great height, coming into view for everyone.

The high-ranking siren, the silver-haired tester, sneered as she fell into everyone's sight.

All of the Pawn Ship Girls' attacks exploded on the tester but did no damage whatsoever.

The horror of the high-grade siren's adaptive armor was fully displayed at that moment.

"The chess pieces really do show such remarkable changes at this life-and-death moment.

""Although similar awakening reactions have been done for a long time, this kind of unconventional change, no matter how many times you see it, never gets old."

The dark golden eyes of the tester swept over these pawn ships under Li Banan's command, and she let out a grim laugh.

"How dare you say that?"

Zeppelin glared at the tester with hatred as if facing the boss.

As someone who joined the Linlan Port District in its early days, she naturally understood what the tester meant by those similar experiments before.

In that heterochromatic battle, their iron-blooded chess piece ship girls had been experimental subjects for the sirens.

With the arrival of the tester, the surrounding siren fire ceased for the time being.

However, a large number of Type II Siren Executors and mass-produced Sirens slowly surrounded them, completely cutting them off.

"I'll give you another chance to tell me what brought you to this testing ground and made you fight side by side with these chess pieces."

The tester looked coldly at Brunhilde, who had been guarding the royal cruiser girl behind her.

However, the only reply she received was silence from the iron-blooded ship girls and the chess piece ship girls.

"If you don't want to speak, let me guess."

The tester smirked, condescendingly looking down at the ship wives caught in her encirclement.

"It's very unlikely, but it won't be the... you have finally found your..."

Just as the tester was in the middle of her sentence, the explosion of a carrier-based aircraft in the night sky interrupted her words.

"What? This is?"

The tester jerked her head up to the night sky.

A large number of siren carrier-based aircraft were shot down, but it was clear that the ship wives in front of her no longer had aviation power.

No, these incoming carrier-based aircraft weren't from the ships in front of her.

But where did this carrier-based aircraft come from? It is impossible for Orlan's pawns to destroy a large number of Type II siren carrier-based aircraft.

Wait a minute!

Why had all these ships and the waves on the sea stopped? The combat information transmission system was also no longer sending messages?

Halfway through the analysis, the tester suddenly halted.

Then she realized the strange scene surrounding her.

In the next second, a sharp pain erupted from all over her body and ship's outfit in an instant.

The adaptive armor, which obviously had special defenses against the ship girls in front of her, crumbled like paper, and her body and ship equipment were more than half destroyed in an instant!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

An air-shattering explosion spread throughout her body, sending the tester tumbling from the ground into the sea.

The iron-blooded ship girls and the Orlan chess piece ship girls, who were clearly in front of her just moments ago, had also disappeared outside her attack range as if they had been displaced.

The previous mass-produced and executor encirclement was destroyed in an instant, with most of them reduced to wreckage.

Just as the tester stared in disbelief at all this from the sea, her combat information transmission system suddenly transmitted a massive data stream.

It was as if her time had completely stopped.

"Reinforcements? How can it be so fast?"

The roaring artillery and the sound of carrier-based aircraft bombing caused the tester, who fell into the sea in embarrassment, to analyze the situation at high speed in an instant.

"It's almost... Forget it this time. These Type II fleets are not strong enough to compete with you head-on. But next time, I will be sure to find out why you're making these changes."

"Right now, we still have to go to the Eastern Continent first and address the 'key points' over there."

With a sneer on her face, the tester watched as the siren fleet, which had been destroyed by artillery fire and carrier-based aircraft, slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, driven by the manta ray suit.

…

"Peter, is it really okay to let that guy go? I've wanted to shred that stinky face of the tester for a long time!"

In the sea toward the port, a fleet of pure iron-blooded ships was attacking the siren fleet with full firepower.

The heroic and unrestrained voice belonged to the one-eyed, silver-powdered, long-haired iron-blooded battlecruiser with a black blindfold covering her left eye.

"Your Excellency Strass must have her own plans; you just have to fight."

Her sister of the same ship, Gneisenau, drove the ship's outfit and smashed one of the oceansters directly with one shot, calmly stating this.

"Also, this is a battle that hasn't been fought in a long time, and it has been ages since I've blown the sirens into slag so quickly! Hahahaha!"

Scharnhorst didn't think about it any longer; as long as she could fight, it was the greatest pleasure for her as a battle maniac.

"If we smash the tester, we may be able to destroy the body." 

"However, the tester, using full firepower along with these siren executors, will definitely cause casualties among those Orlan ship girls."

Tall, standing on a clock-like base, the elegant royal sister with long black hair and two ponytails, Burgundy eyes looked in the direction of the subject's disappearance as she explained in a calm tone.

Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier No. 2, Peter Strassel.

The time of the tester was suspended by her skill [Time of Invasion], which caused her to endure a round of carrier-based bombardment and torpedo attacks between her and Weser.

At this moment, Peter wore an elegant iron-blooded black over-the-knee skirt, a white-red cloak, and a sharp command sword of dark gold.

Two black-and-red ship-mounted dragons continued to snort at the roaring carrier-based aircraft around her, causing waves of air to blow her long hair and skirt up.

Every time the carrier-based aircraft attacked, there was always a translucent red gear remnant surrounding her.

Behind her, Weser also drove the ship's equipment to release the carrier-based aircraft earnestly, and with their cooperation, the remaining sirens in the air were quickly swept away.

"Counting the time, the three Eugen sisters should have joined Zeppelin."

After Peter released another group of carrier-based aircraft, a delicate dark gold pocket watch appeared in her hand.

She watched the second hand ticking on her pocket watch carefully and stated indifferently:

"We also want to get rid of the remaining sirens as soon as possible and return to the commander. You can't waste precious time on something that doesn't make sense."
