Chapter 359: Pursuer

To be honest, Qin Ge simply had no confidence in being able to control Akagi and Kaga, these two great gods.

After all, these two were the former leaders of the Sakura Empire; wanting to control them would be of unknown difficulty. Fortunately, he has Tiancheng.

However, this is merely Qin Ge's thought; how much influence Tiancheng could have on those two remains unknown. But it's absolutely impossible to say this to Akagi now; after they enter his fleet, he'll bring it up then.

These are all future talk; the most important now is to guide Guanghui. Let her awaken quickly, so Qin Ge can have the strength to stand firm in this world.

But how to guide is a problem. Qin Ge suddenly felt his head swell, because no one had ever said how to guide a shipgirl's awakening.

Perhaps, spend more time together? Tell Guanghui some things about the Guanghui-class armored carrier from his own world?

Qin Ge thought of this and made up his mind: this time he would take Guanghui as the experimental target, and if he could summarize the guiding pattern for awakened shipgirls from her.

And just as Qin Ge had this plan, the battlefield outside had already developed into a white-hot state.

Under Ou Gen Qin Wang's cutting, the entire Siren Fleet was sliced like a cake into pieces. Afterwards, the fleets led by Weineituo were each annihilated.

However, the Siren Fleet was not easy to deal with; under such saturated, fierce artillery fire, the vanguard fleet led by Ou Gen Qin Wang also suffered varying degrees of damage.

When the large fleet was reduced to only one-quarter, Ou Gen Qin Wang reported the situation to Weineituo.

"Our vanguard fleet can no longer perform the cutting tactic; aside from me, Nengdai is lightly damaged, and Ou ruo la and a few others are moderately damaged. If we sortie again, an accident is likely."

Weineituo nodded and said in the communicator, "Thank you very much for your contribution to the fleet; the opposing Siren Fleet is now disorganized, so it's time for our main force to sortie together."

"Well, then we'll return to the flank." Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

"Understood." Weineituo said.

After hearing that, Ou Gen Qin Wang told the other members of the vanguard fleet, "The enemy fleet has suffered heavy losses, so we no longer need to perform the cutting tactic; next we will return to the flank of the main fleet and assist them in their attack."

Several members of the vanguard fleet couldn't help but sigh in relief; although shipgirls can withstand shell damage, sometimes shells exploding nearby do not cause bodily pain.

But once the condition reaches moderate damage, everyone inevitably feels worried. Now hearing Ou Gen Qin Wang's order, everyone couldn't help but exhale in relief, finally able to return to a safe zone.

Thus, Ou Gen Qin Wang and others, under the cover of carrier shipgirls' aircraft, slowly retreated to the flank. Meanwhile, Weineituo commanded all shipgirls, who had already pressed forward.

At this moment, due to several cutting tactics, the main position of the large Siren Fleet's center was finally exposed, and the Siren humanoid unit previously detected also appeared.

She wore a black-and-yellow armor of extreme sci-fi hue, her hands holding something like a machine gun—ship equipment—floating above the sea like a robot, her amber eyes fixed on Weineituo and the others pressing the great army.

"Pursuer." Bisimai looked at the distant appearing Siren humanoid unit and accurately called out her code name.

"Not easy to handle." Weineituo also furrowed his brows at the same time.

Tiancheng smiled and said, "Although the Pursuer's barrage attack is very fierce, her anti-air is extremely weak; she is a specialized anti-sea Siren humanoid unit."

"We can use gunfire to pin her down, then have all carrier shipgirls launch a strong assault on her position, using aircraft to grind her to death alive."

"Well, that's all we can do now." Both Weineituo and Bisimai nodded involuntarily.

The battle has continued to this point; although they have gained a certain advantage, it's not yet time to be careless, especially since the opponent is still a Siren humanoid unit, which demands extra vigilance.

Because any Siren humanoid unit is not easy to deal with; although their numbers are few, to avoid meaningless casualties, conducting aerial strong assaults via aircraft is the most effective method.

Thus, Weineituo called out to Guanghui and others behind him, "Guanghui, please lead the carrier shipgirls to form an aircraft squadron and strongly assault the Pursuer."

"Understood." Guanghui's voice sounded gently; after Weineituo notified her that it was the Pursuer, she knew what was going on.

After all, she used to be a free shipgirl; this was not her first time facing a Siren humanoid unit like the Pursuer.

After hanging up Weineituo's call, Guanghui told the carrier fleet, "Everyone's aircraft take off, form an aircraft echelon: fighters in front, bombers in the middle, torpedo planes at the rear, and strongly assault the Pursuer ahead."

After hanging up Weineituo's call, Guanghui said to the Fleet, "All carrier aircraft take off, forming a carrier aircraft echelon, fighters in front, bombers in the middle, torpedo aircraft at the rear, launch an assault attack on the pursuers ahead."

"Yes, Senior!"

Firm voices rang out; in an instant, all carrier shipgirls' aircraft took off. The six fighters launched by Guanghui took the lead, and everyone else followed behind Guanghui's aircraft.

The howling engine sounds echoed in the sea and sky; the entire formation, like a flock of wild geese flying in disorder, was disciplined and swift, rushing toward the conspicuous Pursuer.

At that moment, Weineituo and Bisimai also commanded the battleship shipgirls to begin artillery fire on the sea area beside and including the Pursuer.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Pursuer wanted to rush forward and destroy these shipgirls within reach, but the fierce barrage made it difficult for her to approach.

She could only open the shield surrounding her, and the machine-gun-like ship equipment continuously fired blue shells to threaten the approaching shipgirls.

But just then, the aircraft group led by Guanghui had already arrived above the Pursuer; countless machine guns, aerial bombs, and torpedoes instantly projected onto her area.

Columns of water shot up from around the Pursuer; although her shield could block shell attacks, facing aerial bombs falling from the sky left her somewhat unable to respond.

After a round of bombing, the aircraft group led by Guanghui instantly climbed, turned noses, and smoothly flew toward the direction where the shipgirls were.

However, at this moment the Pursuer looked rather miserable; her shield had vanished, and the black-and-yellow armor covering her body appeared tattered and torn……
