Chapter 675: Point Attack

Although the battle was fierce, the arrows fired from very close range by the Carrier Shipgirls also posed a threat to Sitelunkusi, but all the shipgirls, including King George V, knew that their attacks were far from enough to injure Sitelunkusi, let alone destroy her.

"Do you see anything?" On the distant command ship, Hai Lun Na said with a smile.

Qin Ge shook his head. "The distance is too far; it's hard to see details."

Hai Lun Na explained, "Although engaging Sitelunkusi in close combat is indeed a very good method, your current ship strength is relatively weak, and you simply cannot break through her defense, so she has always been in a passive defensive state, never having attacked."

"But I clearly saw the people attacking her get blown away!" Qin Ge wondered.

"That's merely an application of gravity field control; it hardly counts as an attack." Hai Lun Na said to Qin Ge, "Furthermore, compared to the Hermite you encountered before, Sitelunkusi's use of the gravity field only pushes your shipgirls away rather than injuring them—it's far too gentle."

Qin Ge froze for a moment, then nodded.

When they previously encountered Hermite, they were completely suppressed.

"However, I don't think this situation will last long. Although Sitelunkusi appears silent and reserved, she is actually quite temperamental. So before too long, she will strike." Hai Lun Na said, looking at the sea ahead.

Qin Ge's heart tightened involuntarily. "Then can we use that previous move?"

"It's possible, but if you speak from here, Sitelunkusi might find out. You should remember, your communication system is extremely easy for the Antiekesi to infiltrate." Hai Lun Na said to Qin Ge.

"There's no way; this is the only opportunity we have. Rather than waiting for your companions to arrive, it's better to bravely face her." Qin Ge said, picking up the communicator.

"All personnel, note that the arbiter Sitelunkusi before us is not unbeatable; her ability is to control gravity, and the ability to guide your shells is due to her own gravity field."

"However, any gravity field has its own limit; to break such a gravity field, one must reach the limit of force that Sitelunkusi's own gravity field can alter."

"So there is a relatively harsh method: have everyone fire at a single point at the same time. As long as we can break through that point, we can attack Sitelunkusi's body."

Qin Ge's voice quickly rang in the shipgirls' ears; their actions stalled for a moment, then they looked toward the command ship drifting not far behind them.

"Even in such a difficult situation, the commander is still seeking ways to defeat the enemy; it seems we shouldn't give up so early, even though she is very strong."

"That's right; the commander stands behind us, and his presence is our whole world."

"For the commander, for victory, let's all take action together!"

"Yes!"

In an instant, the fighting spirit that had been worn down by this battle returned to the shipgirls.

Xin ze xi immediately sprang into action, organizing everyone; soon, the volley formation was set up.

Sitelunkusi in the distance naturally also saw the situation here, but she paid it no heed, continuing to entangle with several close-combat shipgirls.

"Aim at Sitelunkusi's chest armor, everyone get ready!"

Xin ze xi quickly issued the order via the communicator, and everyone aimed their guns at the position she specified.

"Fire!"

Only a booming sound was heard; the sky-full of shells, as if controlled by a system and fired simultaneously, produced just one report before all were discharged.

All aimed at the distant Sitelunkusi and fired; the shells traced beautiful arcs in midair and soon arrived very close to Sitelunkusi.

Just as before, although Sitelunkusi was distracted while entangling with King George V and the others, her gravity field remained unchanged; most of the shells still had their trajectories altered by the gravity field, falling elsewhere.

But this time, not all of them fell elsewhere. Because the shells were relatively concentrated, although many changed course under the gravity field's influence, several super-heavy shells still slammed into Sitelunkusi.

Meanwhile, the close-combat shipgirls near Sitelunkusi, seeing this, had already withdrawn to a safe distance and were watching the situation ahead.

"Boom!"

Just as Hai Lun Na said, such concentrated fire was indeed effective against Sitelunkusi. This was also the first time Qin Ge's fleet, after encountering Sitelunkusi, had a shell directly hit her body.

Smoke and water spray burst forth instantly; although all the shipgirls had aimed at Sitelunkusi's chest armor, even if a few super-heavy shells remained, they certainly did not just cover the chest area.

Watching the explosion before them, all the shipgirls felt a surge of joy; they believed this strike would not inflict great damage on Sitelunkusi, but it also represented that they could attack her—a major breakthrough.

"Hit!" Qin Ge inside the command ship exclaimed excitedly.

"Hehe, yes, indeed we have already hit Sitelunkusi." Hai Lun Na nodded with a smile, "However, Commander Qin Ge, when a cat catches a mouse, if the mouse ends up teasing the cat instead, the cat will become frenzied."

"So now is not the time to be happy; on the contrary, the real battle only begins at this moment, and Sitelunkusi will soon counterattack."

Sure enough, as the smoke and dust cleared, Sitelunkusi's entire figure appeared before the shipgirls.

But this time she was not unscathed; there was a scorched mark on her chest. Her gaze also turned grim, and the surrounding sea began to boil.

"Hmph..."

With that faint hum, Sitelunkusi's figure vanished like a phantom before everyone's eyes.

Just as everyone was searching for her traces, she suddenly appeared before King George V. A blue iron claw, wielding tremendous force, lunged to grab King George V.

Even though King George V reacted quickly, stepping back on the water surface, she could not withstand Sitelunkusi's assault; she could only place her sword horizontally before her chest, preparing to hard-block this attack.

Just as the blue iron claw touched the sword's blade, Sitelunkusi suddenly made a very strange motion: she swiftly retracted the claw and grabbed toward her own right side.

"Boom!"

The violent collision echoed across the sea; Sitelunkusi slid several meters on the water before stabilizing her stance.

At this moment, a black mark appeared on her blue iron claw, and her gaze also turned toward that previous direction.

At this moment, the stunned shipgirls also followed Sitelunkusi's gaze and looked in that direction.

Only then did they see, atop the reef, a figure clad in black battle robes standing there, a long sword flashing brightly in her hand…
