I recommend a book: "Even If I Transform, I Will Never Be Conquered."
This is a story about Satella, who transforms into the Witch of Envy, borrows the abilities of various two-dimensional characters, and then travels through different dimensions to pay off her debts.
P.S.: Seriously, today's the last day! Why are you guys saving your monthly tickets?! Give them to me now! (Blatant robbery)
Chapter 161 The Queen Returns to the Throne (4,000 words)
With Changchun gone from the front lines, only four ship girls remained in this sea area.
Hood, Missouri, Tirpitz, and a full-fledged fighter Saratoga.
This lineup might not pose a big problem against ordinary deep-sea capital ships or relatively fragile new deep-sea commanders, but it would be a big problem against deep-sea aircraft carrier commanders.
Ship girls are typically in six-person teams. This number is just right, maximizing their group combat capabilities without making the formation appear bloated. The advantage of numbers also allows a six-person ship girl team to compensate for weaknesses in various aspects.
For example, when gunboats are mixed with two or three aircraft carriers, the fleet can have a strong anti-air capability while also ensuring a certain degree of night combat endurance.
With four people, it really feels like you can't take care of anything else.
Saratoga raised an eyebrow and whispered a reminder, "They're here."
Just as Saratoga finished speaking...
Hood could see black mist rising from the other side of the sea, a mist that seemed to darken even the sky.
This black aura is something that can be seen when the main force of the deep sea ships gathers to a certain extent.
It is a deep-sea resentment that has almost solidified into a tangible form.
Before anyone even arrived, a noisy, annoying buzzing sound, like a swarm of bees, came over.
Gradually, Hu De watched as the so-called director of the deep-sea aircraft carrier appeared on the other side of the sky.
The massive, mountain-like orange deep-sea ship equipment flapped its feather-like mechanical wings like some strange flying creature. The seaside gurgled as if boiling, and battleships and heavy cruisers, radiating red light and resembling mechanical whales, rolled and circled around the Deep Sea Dean.
At this moment, Hu De certainly doesn't want to take the initiative to attack, but the enemy doesn't think so. The Deep Sea Dean won't wait for Hu De; she is leading a group of advanced deep-sea capital ships slowly towards Yu Xiu.
The word "slowly" doesn't actually mean that her movement speed is slow.
In reality, they moved very quickly. However, because of this strange sense of oppression, they always gave people a heavy feeling, as if a large army was pressing in.
If Hu De can see the Dean of the Deep Sea, then it means that the Dean of the Deep Sea can also see Hu De.
The female part, deep within the massive orange ship equipment, opened her golden eyes, which shone with an orange glow, and immediately fixed her gaze on the four ship girls on this side of the sea.
A nagging feeling of being stared at by a venomous snake settled over Hood's mind.
"Get moving!" It would be foolish to make eye contact with a deep-sea aircraft carrier director, so Hood put all her effort into her ship equipment and shouted to the three ship girls next to her.
Even Missouri, who was slightly less skilled among the three ship girls, was a seasoned veteran. At this moment, she had almost no time to think and subconsciously followed Hood's movements.
A deep roar came from the distance, reaching Hood's ears.
"Boom boom boom boom—" Then, a massive number of orange deep-sea aircraft, seemingly blotting out the sky, surged toward this place like a swarm of bees.
The aircraft carrier has the longest attack range, and currently all the ships this fleet can attack are gunboats. So, in this awkward position, it is bound to suffer an enemy bombardment first.
Saratoga waved, and all the fighter jets floating in the sky charged fiercely toward the deep-sea aircraft.
Aircraft carrier battles inevitably involve vying for air superiority.
Because aircraft carriers are the ship type with the longest attack range and the most efficient means of attack among all ship girls, battles between aircraft carriers often greatly affect the outcome of battles between the two teams.
Aircraft carriers carry many types of aircraft, but they can actually be divided into two main categories: attack aircraft and fighter aircraft.
As its name suggests, an attack aircraft is an aircraft equipped with offensive capabilities.
Fighter jets are aircraft that protect our attack aircraft and attack all enemy aircraft. These aircraft are not offensive, but they play a crucial role in carrier battles.
The term "air superiority" mostly refers to the interactions between our fighter jets and enemy fighter jets.
If our fighter jets are powerful enough to shoot down all of the enemy's aircraft, we can disable the enemy's aircraft carrier, gain dominance in the air, and thus gain the advantage in combat. The reverse is also true.
The fighter jets on a deep-sea aircraft carrier, that is, its air superiority capability, are extremely terrifying.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"
In the sky, Saratoga's plane and the Deep Sea Dean's plane made contact for the first time.
Like fireworks, strings of orange-red flames exploded in the sky.
Saratoga's resistance significantly weakened the enemy's Deepsea Dean's attack. Not many Deepsea planes rushed out from the flames, and Hood and the others were able to dodge them thanks to their high training level.
Saratoga's expression turned serious.
She indeed fell into a disadvantageous position in the aerial battle.
The deep-sea-based air superiority technology is no joke; Saratoga's fighter jets are being worn down at an extremely rapid pace.
“Sarah, how much longer can we hold on?” Hood asked, turning around.
“Less than five minutes,” Saratoga gave a rather conservative figure.
Five minutes later, Saratoga's remaining fighters should be unable to mount any semblance of resistance, and at that point, the enemy will dominate the skies over this area.
No one would be foolish enough to fight the enemy under a sky full of enemy planes.
At that point, even Hood will have to start considering retreating.
"In short, take care of that Deepsea Dean first, or if that doesn't work, take care of the other Deepsea carrier to reduce the air pressure on Saratoga," Hood said to Tirpitz and Missouri.
Missouri nodded.
At this moment, under Saratoga's cover, the four of them finally got close enough to be within the gunboat's attack range.
"Boom boom boom boom!" However, gunboats were not only on Hood's side. In fact, if we were to talk about proportions, the main force of the deep sea, led by the director of the deep-sea aircraft carrier, should be a gunboat squadron.
Around the massive orange ship rig, the battleships that floated like whales opened their mouths and pointed their incredibly thick, dark gun barrels toward Hood, spewing out brilliant flashes of fire.
Hood was certainly prepared for this.
Under her leadership, the entire team was overturned in a hail of cannon fire as if they had a speed boost.
"Fight back!"
After dodging the enemy's initial salvo, Hood saw that the Abyssal's offensive was weakening, and then aimed his ship's guns at the Abyssal Commander, who was surrounded and protected by the Abyssal battleships.
"boom!"
Hud, Missouri, and Tirpitz fired a cannonball fiercely towards the direction of the Deep Sea Dean.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!" The gunboat's individual destructive power is very strong. There is no need to consider air superiority. As long as a main gun accurately hits the enemy's pursuit, the enemy will either be killed or crippled.
If the three top-tier gunship girls were to hit him even twice, the Deep Sea Dean would probably need to be reworked.
However, dreams are always beautiful.
Reality always presents some unimaginable results.
Through the lenses on his nose, Hood could clearly see a mocking expression on the face of the humanoid figure deep within the massive orange ship's rigging.
It was as if it was mocking Hood's resistance.
At the same time, as if to prove this smile, a huge mechanical whale slammed its tail onto the sea surface in the path of the three ship girls' cannons.
With a deafening roar, the mechanical whale leaped into the sky with a flick of its tail.
Its massive metal body withstood the cannon fire from the three ship girls.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"boom!"
It definitely hit.
However, the target hit was a battleship that was insignificant at this stage.
The enormous mechanical whale was torn in two by the three cannon shots, and large amounts of black fuel rained down from the sky.
The Dean of the Deep Sea used the life of a battleship to thwart Hood's counterattack.
"Truly highly intelligent, senior." Missouri, standing beside him, couldn't help but marvel at the obsession of that battleship that was going to its death.
“That’s what the Deepsea Commander hates most. Although they are very strong in combat, they can command the usually disorganized Deepsea fleet,” Hood replied. “Nothing is more threatening than a well-organized Deepsea army.”
"Boom boom boom boom boom!" As if in turn-based combat, after Hood's attack failed, the enemy opened fire on this side.
The four ship girls quickly dodged.
Hood looked toward the Deep Sea Dean, who was surrounded by one mechanical whale after another.
At this moment, the Dean of the Deep Sea seemed to realize that Hood was the flagship of the ship girls, and also cast a mocking gaze over her.
"...She's so pretty, but she's got that smug look on her face. She'll get wrinkles!" Hood shouted in his mind, raising his ship's rigging and firing a shot in the direction of the Deep Sea Dean.
The shelling that failed to find a blind spot was ultimately just a probing attack. This time, the Deep Sea Commander could have dodged it without even sacrificing his subordinates' lives.
Then, to Hood's utter shock...
Dean Shenhai, his expression filled with mockery and sarcasm, opened the mechanical wings behind him.
A massive number of planes, like a calamity, took to the sky.
"Oops!"
Upon seeing the planes take off, Hood immediately sensed something was wrong and looked towards Saratoga.
This Dean of the Deep Sea Institute has been hiding his true abilities.
Saratoga might not even last five minutes.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
"Shhhhhhhhhh"
Just then, Hood heard the sound of ship girls moving on the distant sea.
It's the sea area closest to the coast.
Hu De looked over.
Changchun was carrying a girl with long white hair and running quickly towards them, splashing water everywhere, like a light little white dragon.
"Little White?" In Hood's memory, he didn't know any human girl with white hair.
"That's the admiral?" Even Missouri was shocked.
The ship girl has excellent eyesight.
Their eyesight is good enough to see very, very far.
—Huh? Wasn't the admiral a black-haired girl just a few hours ago? How did she suddenly turn into a white-haired beauty?
"Boom, boom, boom!"
What the ship girls can see, the Deep Sea Dean can naturally see as well.
She's not stupid. When she sees a human coming over, and he seems to be connected to a ship girl, why doesn't she go up and bombard him with planes first?
The Deep Sea Dean quickly separated a small section of the planes that were locked in combat with Saratoga and flew towards Xiaobai and He Changchun.
"Saratoga!" Hood screamed immediately!
This was the first time Hood had ever called out Saratoga's name in such a discomfiture.
"Understood!" Saratoga understood the seriousness of the situation and risked his life to intercept the deep-sea plane heading towards Little White.
At this moment, it seemed that Xiaobai whispered a few words to Changchun, who was holding Xiaobai.
Changchun was stunned for a moment, then looked at the plane in the sky and nodded.
She started spinning around holding Little White.
Then, it was thrown towards Tirpitz.
"Catch it, ahhhhhh!"
The petite Xiaobai was flung over by Changchun like a shooting star.
"Oh my god!" Hood panicked as he watched Little White being tossed around like a ball.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The battleships on the other side of the deep sea were no pushovers either. Seeing that Little White was being tossed around in an arc, they fired several shots directly at this side.
As Xiaobai flew through the sky, whether by luck or something else, the artillery fire seemed to burst into bloom around her ears like fireworks, instantly turning the entire sky red.
She opened her arms and rushed over with the sound of the wind.
