Chapter 177

"Not pirates, but a Ghost Fleet?" Glancing at the information of the Ghost Fleet that appeared suddenly, a look of sudden realization appeared on Lu Li's face, but he was soon attracted by the introduction within it.

"Is this the elite monster Senior Sister mentioned before? No need to kill a certain number of trial fierce beasts, just kill these specific elite monsters to draw out the Lord of the Endless Sea Area."

"However, compared to the method of killing a specific number of sea beasts, killing elite monsters only has a probability of drawing out the Lord, which still depends on luck."

Along the way, Lu Li's party had already killed quite a number of sea beasts, but it was only until now that they had encountered an elite monster of the Endless Sea Area for the first time.

At the same time Lu Li saw this Ghost Fleet, the speed of the Ghost Fleet also accelerated in an instant. There was no doubt that this Ghost Fleet appeared here specifically for Lu Li and the others.

As for the reason, just look at the sea beast corpses that hadn't dissipated after being killed around them, and it was clear.

Although being approached by the Ghost Fleet was an unexpected situation, if luck was good enough, brushing an elite monster might be able to face the Lord.

"I think with your luck, Master, you will definitely draw out the Lord of the Endless Sea Area." Hearing Mana, who was shading her eyes and looking at the Ghost Fleet from the side, said seriously.

This statement from the girl was recognized by everyone, including Zero, who was focusing on drawing and writing in her little notebook, who also stopped at this time and nodded seriously.

"Girl, is your butt itching?" Seeing this, Lu Li grabbed Hearing Mana irritably and kneaded her little face back and forth.

"Ah woo!" Being handled by Lu Li, Hearing Mana couldn't help but make a cute sound, while Xiaobai stepped back two steps. She was really afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

After all, regarding her positioning as a weak and cute little cutie, Xiaobai still had self-awareness.

"Alright, get ready for battle." Lu Li didn't ravage Hearing Mana for too long, just had his fun and let the girls prepare for battle.

However, he was then grabbed by the corner of his clothes by another little cutie, Zero: "Commander, can you let me command the next battle?"

"You command?" Facing Zero's proposal, Lu Li only thought for two seconds before agreeing.

It just so happened that the original intention of making ship-girl Magic Cards, besides dealing with naval battles, was also to serve as the commander of team battles.

The skill Zero possessed was undoubtedly the total flagship. Even if more ship-girls, Sirens, or Abyssal Princesses were summoned in the future, this point would not change.

And right now, it was just the right time to test Zero's command ability through this battle.

"Please rest assured and leave it to me, Commander." Seeing Lu Li agree, a smile appeared on Zero's little face, but it disappeared quickly.

Then, under Lu Li's summoning, Xiaobai returned to the Eternal Land first. With her three-star strength, even after awakening, she wasn't enough to participate in the next battle.

Besides that, there was another point, which was that after such a long time, Zero also intended to summon a second ship-girl to descend into the Endless Sea Area.

Similar to the scene of summoning Glorious, after activating the total flagship skill, numerous light screens unfolded in front of Zero, with information flowing on them constantly.

A few seconds later, all screens locked onto different types of information, which were collected one by one and turned into a color picture of a brand-new ship.

Then, Zero threw the Heart Cube and four special materials in her hand into the ship's color picture, and seven-colored brilliance filled everyone's eyes at this moment.

"Ah la la! Total Flagship has summoned an incredible companion." Under the seven-colored brilliance, the first to react was Glorious, who was also a ship-girl. From the other party's tone, it could be inferred that the ship-girl summoned by Zero this time was not ordinary in strength.

"Armored cruiser Brest," a gentle and delicate voice came, and the second ship-girl, wearing a pure white dress and possessing golden long hair and elf ears, walked slowly from the void: "I like to listen to the stories that happen on the earth and the ocean, and then weave them into poems to share with more people."

"Commander, Total Flagship, I look forward to you bringing more stories." As the last words fell, Brest also came to Lu Li and Zero and gave a slight bow.

"Welcome, Brest." Lu Li still had quite an impression of this blonde elf ship-girl. In the setting, she was a top-tier super cruiser that integrated offense, defense, and support. Although this wasn't a game world, Lu Li felt that even if she became a Magic Card spirit, Brest's strength would definitely not be bad.

【Brest】

Race: Ship-girl

Quality: Legendary

Level: Seven-star

Skills: Adaptive Armor, Sea Area Deployment, Ship Hull Construction, Elf Ensemble, Side Wind Praise Song, Resurrected Narrative Poem

Elf Ensemble: After appearing, self-defense and hit attributes increase by 80%. When the battle begins, if there are other friendly units on the field besides self, all attack attributes increase by 15%, and damage received by self is reduced by 50%!

Side Wind Praise Song: When the battle begins, self-mobility attribute increases by 30%; if there are other friendly units on the field besides self, it changes to all mobility attributes increasing by 30%.

Resurrected Narrative Poem: Every time self launches 2 attacks, triggers a round of special barrage and adds a shield that offsets 50% damage to self, while recovering 8% of self's life force; if there are other friendly units on the field besides self, and a total of every 6 attacks are launched, it changes to triggering a round of enhanced special barrage and recovering 5% of life force for all.

"Although the skills have changed to a certain extent, it is still an integration of offense, defense, and support," looking at Brest's information, Lu Li was very satisfied with Brest's attributes: "Especially the final Resurrected Narrative Poem, which can be considered an extra regular healer."

Lu Li's deck wasn't lacking support Magic Cards, but Magic Card spirits with healing abilities, until now, only had Ophanimon. Now with the addition of Brest, it could be considered to have made up for this deficiency to a certain extent.

Thinking this way, Lu Li couldn't help but give Zero a head-pat. This girl must have considered this point, which was why she summoned Brest this time.

Plus, as an armored cruiser, Brest's meatiness was even stronger than Glorious, who was an armored aircraft carrier. With Brest as the defensive side, Glorious could better focus on attacks.

Even, in the future, when summoning other ship-girls, there could be more choices.

Being given a head-pat by Lu Li, Zero couldn't hold it in, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but considering the next battle, the little girl immediately became serious again: "Brest, your welcome ceremony might have to be postponed, prepare to enter combat state now."

"Understood, Total Flagship!" As Brest's words fell, wings like an angel unfolded behind her, and then she flew away from the deck of the armored aircraft carrier.

A ship-girl who can fly, okay, this is not unacceptable.

Under Lu Li's subtle gaze, Brest at the front of the armored aircraft carrier constructed a huge ship hull.

336. The Corners of the Mouth Curled Up Again

With a total length also exceeding two hundred meters, the scale of Brest's ship hull was completely not inferior to Glorious, and the standard displacement reached 26,000 tons, close to Glorious's 28,000 tons of displacement when fully loaded. And Brest's displacement when fully loaded exceeded 30,000 tons.

Besides that, the biggest difference from Glorious, who was an armored aircraft carrier, was that there were only a few carrier-based aircraft on Brest's ship hull. Although far fewer than Glorious, it was equipped with numerous turret gun platforms.

The gun barrels emitting bright brilliance were enough to make people feel incredibly at ease at just one glance. Firepower deficiency phobia was a joke under those numerous turret gun platforms.

Seeing that Brest had constructed the ship hull and entered the combat state, the remaining girls also didn't stay idle.

Chaos Ritual, deploy!

X-form!

Light Guidance!

Magic power storm emerged, and the three girls who completed their respective upgrades also saw their strength soar to the peak at this moment.

Although Lu Li's side only had five eight-star Magic Card spirits, they didn't lose to the Ghost Fleet in momentum at all.

"Good luck to everyone, set off!" After the Ghost Fleet entered the range, Brest at the front fired first to initiate the attack.

Boom boom boom!

The continuous artillery sounds were endless. The attack method of giant ships and large guns was different from the aircraft carrier's carpet bombing. Every volley of the main guns made everyone at close range feel an indescribable excitement.

Even though they were all ships, the range of ship-girls far exceeded that of the Ghost Fleet. The main gun volley blessed by skills, under Brest's precise control, all hit the Ghost ships at the front!

Caliber size is justice, everything within range is truth! At this moment, Brest vividly interpreted this famous quote!

"Children, take off! We can't fall behind either!" Glorious also didn't want to fall behind. With a wave of her hand, numerous carrier-based aircraft took off again, then turned into birds of paradise, chirping and rushing toward the Ghost Fleet.

On the battlefield, the chirping of the birds of paradise was distant, and a round of air strikes left bursts of bombing sounds that echoed through the sky. Then, these birds of paradise didn't look back and continued to attack the second Ghost ship.

Even with the damage reduction skill of Ghost Limbs, after enduring a round of Brest's main gun bombardment and Glorious's carrier-based aircraft group bombing, the Ghost ship at the front was finally blown up and sunk directly.

Then, the movements of the entire Ghost Fleet clearly fluctuated for a moment. Clearly, they didn't expect the ship-girls' coordinated attack to sink one of their ships directly.

At the same time, a light screen projected in front of Glorious and Brest, with data flowing on it.

But at this time, the Ghost Fleet also entered its own attack range, and all gun platforms aimed at Brest and launched a volley.

Emergency Evasion!

As if they knew the future, whether it was Glorious or Brest, at the moment of the Ghost Fleet's main gun volley, they had already controlled their respective ship hulls to perform an emergency evasion.

The aircraft carrier and super cruiser with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons suddenly accelerated. The acceleration was absolutely terrifying. It was fortunate that there wasn't a single normal person on the ships; otherwise, this alone would have been enough to kill many ordinary people.

The suddenly accelerating warships dodged the Ghost Fleet's volley. Brest controlled the turret on the ship hull again to launch a second round of strafing, combined with Glorious's bird of paradise bombers to sink the second Ghost ship.

Sinking two Ghost ships of the same level in just two rounds of confrontation, the coordination between the two ship-girls Glorious and Brest was indeed far beyond ordinary Magic Card spirits.

However, Lu Li still saw clearly that the coordination between the two ship-girls had Zero's coordination. The suddenly appearing light screen was the instruction Zero gave to the two girls.

Don't look at Zero as just such a small one, but as the total flagship, the computing power she possessed was beyond imagination. The foresight like the emergency evasion of Brest and Glorious just now was just one of her abilities.

Or rather, that wasn't foresight, but Zero synthesized various situations to conclude the most likely situation in the future.

By analogy, it was similar to the calculation ability of Kamen Rider O1, but even more powerful.

Not only did Brest and Glorious receive Zero's command, but Chaos Black Magician Girl, Angewomon X, and Blue-Eyes White Dragon also did the same. The three girls didn't hesitate and killed their way into the battlefield directly.

The threat of Glorious and Brest could only reach its maximum value at a sufficiently far distance, and now that the two fleets had entered the distance of close combat, it was naturally the most suitable time for them to make a move.

More importantly, although the three girls weren't ship-girls, under Zero's intervention and command, the coordination they hit was smoother than usual.

Living in the Eternal Land for such a long time, Zero hadn't done nothing. Taking advantage of this time, she had collected the abilities of each Magic Card spirit and constantly calculated various combat situations that might be encountered, thereby deriving coordination to deal with different enemies.

This battle was just using this Ghost Fleet to practice...

Holy Bubble!

Destruction Spell Death Ultimate Spell!

Chaos Black Magician Girl and Angewomon X cooperated, and under the cover of the birds of paradise, they went straight for the flagship of the Ghost Fleet, then both erupted, directly exiling the flagship of this Ghost Fleet.

Losing the control of the flagship, the remaining Ghost Fleet instantly fell into chaos. After all, the existence of the flagship was the most important factor ensuring that this Ghost Fleet dominated the Endless Sea Area.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Blue-Eyes White Dragon relied on her own incredibly strong physical quality, ignoring the attacks of the dead spirits on the ship, and directly tore the fourth Ghost ship apart with her hands, and the last Burst Stream of Destruction blew up the fifth Ghost ship.

"Not bad, it seems you have indeed been very diligent during this time, Zero." Looking at the Ghost Fleet that was constantly being annihilated under the girls' attacks and couldn't even get close, Lu Li gave Zero another head-pat.

The Ghost Fleet could become a hegemon of the Endless Sea Area, so its strength naturally couldn't be this weak.

But it was first caught off guard by the coordination of Brest and Glorious, and then it was attacked by Chaos Black Magician Girl and Angewomon X. The strength of the entire fleet could be said to be less than one-tenth.

And these were naturally caused by Zero's command. Getting Lu Li's affirmation again, the corners of Zero's mouth curled up once more. ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
