Chapter 981: Stalemate Battle

"Siteliankusi, in the situation where no other arbiter is helping you, your current behavior is stubborn resistance." Feilong solemnly said to the arbiter Siteliankusi.

But the reply to Feilong was merely a cold snort from Siteliankusi and a strong counterattack.

Obviously, the negotiations failed.

"You Yujin, aren't you mortal enemies with the arbiter? Why are you still negotiating like this at this time?" Enterprise asked somewhat doubtfully.

"It seems that some previous events made you think we and the arbiter are irreconcilable, but actually the relationship between warships and the arbiter is inherently complementary; it's just that due to some ideological reasons, we are currently in a state of going our separate ways."

"To be honest, although we usually attack each other, we do have a common enemy, and this enemy is absolutely not either of us. So if possible, I hope we can cease hostilities." Arizona said to Enterprise.

"If possible, we also hope, but it seems the other side has no intention of ceasing hostilities at all." Bisimai said, "Therefore, facing such an enemy, respecting her choice is the best outcome."

"Now we can only do this!" Feilong nodded, said to Siteliankusi in front of him, "Then the battle ends here!"

Only saw Feilong's blade light flash, a black-red ray, carrying unparalleled power, surged forward, straightly slashing at the already disheveled Siteliankusi.

Just when everyone thought they could see the result, suddenly a layer of azure shield rose from before Siteliankusi. This shield looked, compared to the crystal shield she had previously put up, so fragile.

But everyone in the sea heard a ding, and this azure shield actually bounced Feilong's blade energy hard, causing no harm to Siteliankusi.

Feilong narrowed his eyes, "Shield overload module? I didn't expect you to still have this; I want to know how many overload modules you actually have. With the energy on your bodies supporting at most three overload modules, so what is the last overload module?"

Obviously Siteliankusi did not answer Feilong's question; only saw her wearing the azure shield, charging forward again.

Bisimai immediately organized everyone to start a quick counterattack while asking Gneisenau, "What is the shield overload module again?"

"When the flagship's durability drops below thirty percent, a shield capable of blocking bullets can be generated; as long as this overload module is not turned off, the shield exists permanently!" Gneisenau said, frowning.

"Ah? That means our current attacks are ineffective?" Weineituo said speechlessly, "This is somewhat cheating, isn't it?"

"No, although the shield overload module sounds strong, it's not as strong as you imagine. Although bullets cannot pass through that shield, the shockwave effect still occurs."

"That is to say, the shield overload module can block a certain amount of damage, but cannot completely negate it; compared to the crystal three-dimensional shield she previously put up, there is still a difference." Gneisenau explained.

"What should we do now?" Bisimai asked.

"Attack, use sufficient attacks to reduce her shield, causing her rear defense unable to withstand damage, and such attacks will consume her energy, leaving her unable to fight further; only this is the only way to defeat her now." Gneisenau said.

"It seems we can only do this now." Bisimai nodded and immediately issued the attack order.

Thus, more intense artillery fire surged toward Siteliankusi in the sea; seeing Siteliankusi struggling to move under the artillery barrage, Bisimai and others confirmed this attack was effective, and thus unconditionally carried it out.

Meanwhile, in the outer sea at the same time, the Siren Fleet's offensive had been blocked. Moreover, the defense fleet discovered that the strength of these Siren Fleets coming now is increasingly weak, even insufficient to pose a danger of breaking through the vanguard fleet.

Thus, the several belligerent personnel arranged in the defense fleet, upon looking back at the fiercely battling fortress, all had ideas.

After all, although this task is difficult, it's only at the beginning; as long as we hold off the first few waves of attacks, the subsequent attacks can stabilize and we can launch corresponding counterattacks.

And until now, the Sirens have been unable to launch a strong offensive; the entire sea's Siren Fleet has almost been exhausted. The battle's pace has also slowed down, but not far away, a top-tier great war of this world is underway; to these belligerents, who wouldn't yearn for it?

Washington naturally is one of them; she looked at the Siren Fleet before her that was already unable to resist, and instantly felt extremely bored. Meanwhile, continuous orders came over the public channel, obviously the battle inside the fortress was proceeding intensely.

"Cough, Bunker Hill, that..."

Washington had just opened her mouth, not finished speaking, when she heard Bunker Hill's vehement voice: "No, we have received the order to defend against the Siren attack here."

"Although the current situation is favorable to us, maybe later more Siren Fleets will gather. You are our team's main warship; if you leave, that would be a weakening of our strength."

"Uh... I haven't even opened my mouth yet, how do you know I'm asking this?" Washington said somewhat glumly.

"Hehe, that's not because your personality, Washington, is too easy to guess? And you occasionally look back toward the fortress direction; everyone knows what your purpose is." North Carolina chuckled.

"Since you know, I should be let go all the more; although Bunker Hill you said is correct, but if this is the Siren's last struggle? Moreover, the fortress battle is now intensely underway, definitely needing some fire support!"

"Moreover, most of our fleet's power is concentrated in the surrounding seas; even New Jersey and Yorktown are like that, the fortress's forces are relatively empty; if I go over, I can definitely help, and you can also handle the current situation!" Washington said unwilling to give up.

"Orders are orders; even if the personnel inside the fortress are all wiped out, without receiving a request for assistance, I cannot let you go." Bunker Hill said calmly.

"Hiss..."

Just as Washington was about to erupt, a familiar voice appeared in the communicator's public channel.

"Report to the flagship, the Sakura Empire's First Fleet has cleared all Siren elites in its assigned sea area; the remaining strength does not constitute sufficient danger, requesting support for the main force fleet!"

"This is Bisimai, after confirming the sea area is stable, permitting the main force to be diverted for support."

"Received!"

Upon hearing this voice, Washington rejoiced, and said to Bunker Hill, "Did you hear? Bisimai said that after confirming the sea area is stable, permitting the main force to be diverted for support; I think our sea area already meets these conditions!"

Bunker Hill glanced at Washington, "Washington, Ticonderoga, Montpellier, and Benson, go to the fortress to provide support!"

"Yes!"
