Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1062: Shadow of Scapa Flow⑧ Fighting and sinking!

In the Royal Fleet, Elizabeth deployed her ship armor to avoid the bombardment, only to see her command ship being hit with several large holes in an instant. Not only was one of the main guns scrapped, several secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns damaged, but several holes were also made on the deck and side armor. She was immediately furious.

"What's going on! Damn it, Befa, War-weary, fight back for me! Smash these guys!"

In fact, the current situation does not require her to remind them. Both Belfast and Warspite have been prepared to launch a counterattack immediately after the opponent's attack.

Even though the enemy's fleet looked like Yang Sikang's fleet, since the war had already begun, there was absolutely no reason for our side to escape first.

Being timid on the battlefield would mean being irresponsible to one's own team members, so once the war begins, there is absolutely no reason to be merciful.

However, with Yang Sikang's fleet as the opponent, once the real fighting started, the Royal Fleet immediately felt a kind of terror different from that of the Siren and Agent Fleets.

Whether it is the Siren or the Agent Fleet, their fighting style is quite simple without the command of humanoid units, and they basically only execute fixed orders.

Even if there are humanoid units as commanders, if they are just agents or executors of the Siren, they are nothing to be afraid of.

The intelligence and command capabilities of these mass-produced humanoid units are not very strong. Although they will cause some trouble to the Siren Fleet, they are just some trouble.

In any case, the threat posed by the Siren and Agent Fleets mainly comes from hard power.

Their ships have strong defenses and fierce firepower. If they just fight head-on, the ship girls will have no advantage at all, especially the Agent Fleet and the newly discovered Type III Sirens, which are so tough that it's outrageous.

Although Yang Sikang's fleet was generally stronger in defense and firepower, it was still far behind those guys. However, Yang Sikang's fleet was extremely outstanding in tactics and coordination. As soon as the battle started, the opponent's fleet immediately divided into three parts and distanced itself to both sides.

The royal side naturally could only dispatch ships to deal with the situation. If the enemy was allowed to go around the side, the danger would be extremely great.

You have to know that in order for a mass-produced ship to unleash all its firepower it needs to face the enemy from the side, but the side is also more vulnerable. If you want to pursue defensive power, you naturally have to face the enemy with the bow.

The current situation of the Royal Fleet is the latter. If the enemy is allowed to go around the side, the strength of their mass-produced fleet will simply not be able to withstand the firepower of Yang Sikang's ship girls.

However, it is very difficult to deal with it separately. The carrier-based aircraft hovering in the sky for air combat clearly show that the Royal Army is at a great disadvantage.

"Damn it, there are too many aircraft carriers in his fleet! There are too many carrier-based aircraft! If this continues, we will never be able to regain air superiority. Zhan Yan, take the troops to the front so that the maid team can free up their hands!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although it was dangerous, War-weary knew that he had to do this now.

If the Maid Team is entangled by the enemy's ships and cannot provide air defense support, once air superiority is completely lost, the situation on the Royal side will quickly collapse.

As battleships, they are not afraid of fighting, but these things that fall from the sky can easily cause huge damage to their most vulnerable parts!

"Befa, did the other party respond?"

"No, there has been no response from either the light signals or the radio, Your Majesty."

"Damn it, I don't know what's going on, but if this is the case, then they are definitely enemies! Stop all active communication and go all out!"

Having said that, Yang Sikang's fleet was extremely efficient in its operations. The advantage in the number of carrier-based aircraft meant that the opponent was still able to cause considerable interference to the Royal Fleet during the fight, while at the same time the opponent's vanguard fleet was also advancing at a very fast speed.

Although they wanted to stop it, the opponent's fleet did not have the advantage of maneuverability brought by mass-produced fleets, and the advantage of the ship girls in size.

Ordinary torpedoes were simply unable to hit the enemy, and the way the enemy's vanguard fleet advanced accompanied by the bombardment of battleships made it impossible for the Royal Navy's mass-produced ships to physically block them.

Even if a few mass-produced ships were decisively sacrificed, the result would only be that they would be turned into scrap metal by being hit by aerial bombs or main gun cross-fire, and then be pushed away by the energetic heavy cruisers in the opponent's vanguard fleet or even directly torn to pieces by artillery fire.

It was during this process that the Royal Fleet completely confirmed that its opponent was Yang Sikang's fleet.

But no one knows why this happened, even the royal family can't understand it at all.

Because the opponent did not hesitate at all after seeing them, and the intensity and momentum of the attack did not change at all.

Elizabeth was certainly no pushover. After the vanguard fleets collided within a dangerous distance of each other, the battle became stalemate.

She once again strengthened her fleet by issuing orders, while not stopping the main gun attack.

However, the opponent's vanguard fleet seemed to be too powerful. She clearly saw that the artillery fire she aimed at the opponent's Baltimore was blocked by London next to her.

"What the hell is that kind of defense! When did our London have such terrifying armor?!"

"Your Majesty, the report given to you mentions that London has undergone ship modifications and has repeatedly strengthened its armor. You have also personally inquired about this."

Befa answered, and Elizabeth immediately cried out:

"That's written, written! Damn it, I'm a battleship, but my bombardment was easily blocked by a mere heavy cruiser. War-weary, destroy her! Destroy her!!"

Forced to rush to the front to relieve the pressure on the Maids' air defense, Warspite had no time to respond at this time. Sheffield, Wichita, and the four-man team of Minneapolis and Sirius were now chasing her frantically.

Sirius chased after her wielding a greatsword, Sheffield followed closely behind with a pistol constantly interfering with Warspite's movements, while Wichita and Minneapolis used artillery fire to drive away the surrounding ship girls who tried to help Warspite, and occasionally fired a few shots at Warspite who was about to escape the pursuit, forcing her to slow down again.

But even so, War-weary did not forget to observe the situation around her. She suddenly raised her hand to catch Sirius's sword and fired a shot at Sirius. Without even looking at the effect of the shot, she turned around, raised her hand, and slashed with the power of her main gun through the blank area between the few people and flew forward.

On the other side, London turned his head and looked over, but it was too late to dodge!

However, the next second, London was pulled to the side, and the war-weary bombardment exploded. Although it affected London, it did not hurt her. The one who caused this effect was Newcastle on her side.

"Tsk, using special ammunition to attack your companions, exposing them to minimal damage in exchange for avoiding critical damage?"

War-weary only had time to sigh before a bullet grazed her eye. She quickly parried Sheffield again, while Sirius, whose body was a little injured, came up again.

A hint of hesitation flashed in War-weary's eyes, but a few seconds later, listening to Elizabeth's continuous command in the communication channel, she sighed.

"I don't want to do this, but since they are enemies, there is nothing I can do..."

The color of the mind cube spread by the greatsword then turned dark red. He dodged Sheffield again and kicked her away. The secondary gun stopped Wichita and Minneapolis, and grabbed Sirius's greatsword with his palm.

Although this caused damage to the hull of his own ship, Warspite swung the greatsword with his other hand from top to bottom!

The explosion occurred along with the slash. After a few seconds, War-weary rolled back a few times in a mess and stood up again with the help of his sailing legs. Although he was a little embarrassed, he was not seriously injured.

But in front of her, Sirius, with only half of his body left, slowly sank.

Warspite sighed deeply, but before she could feel sad, a sword suddenly appeared in her peripheral vision.

"how come?!"

War-weary dodged hastily, but this unexpected blow also had the effect of a slash!

Two of Warspite's anti-aircraft guns were scrapped and one secondary gun was damaged, but she looked at the man in front of her with horror in her eyes.

"Oh, Sirius?!"

Sirius, who had just been blown up by his blow and had just sunk, appeared in front of her again as if nothing had happened!
