Unlike Iona, who looks a bit useless as a ship girl, Vampire is much more lively as a mental model.
However, this little girl's personality is really not commendable.
At first, Fang Zheng felt that the vampire was a naughty child, but later he found out that it was actually a proud young lady. But Fang Zheng didn't care. To be honest, he had seen many tsundere characters like this before. In Shana's world, wasn't Shana taught to behave well by him?
Oh, by the way, the voice of this little guy named Vampire is quite similar to Shana. Could it be that the voices of all tsundere lolis are similar?
Although the little girl has a bad temper, she is quite capable. Although this dragoon-class ship has almost no combat power, it has a very strange ability - that is to absorb the enemy's power!
Fang Zheng had seen this young lady rushing right up to the front of the Sea Mist Cruiser, then activating the energy skimmer and sucking all the energy out of the target. During that time, the cruiser almost poured all its firepower on the vampire, but the young lady couldn't even break the shield with the power she absorbed from the other party... When the poor cruiser had been completely sucked dry and had no ability to resist, Fang Zheng, who couldn't bear to watch, fired a torpedo to kill it.
However, although the vampire is very powerful, it is not enough to face the enemy head-on, because besides absorbing energy, she does not even have basic weapons and equipment, and only has a few drones to fill the field. Therefore, Fang Zheng positioned the vampire to assist Iona, and when the enemy is resisting Iona's torpedo bombardment, she suddenly went up to absorb the enemy's energy. It just so happened that the speed of the vampire was very suitable for this kind of ambush, but unfortunately this was just the beginning. In Fang Zheng's view, the vampire is currently just an auxiliary ship. If you use a team as an analogy, it is a wizard who specializes in debuffing. Now a team with only wizards and archers is definitely not enough. At least a tough MT and the main output of the front row plus treatment are needed to form a five-person team. In other words... at least a battleship and a heavy cruiser are needed.
Unfortunately, this is not an easy task at the moment.
The reason...
"I never thought that sea fog would also stick together."
Looking at the signal on the radar, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. According to the radar, in front of them, there are ten Nagara-class light cruisers, five Yura-class light cruisers, and a Takao heavy cruiser. They are in a clear patrol formation, and are obviously patrolling around. However...
"Does the sea mist normally gather like this, Iona?"
"rare."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Iona shook her head.
"Sea fog usually acts on its own and rarely assembles unless ordered to do so."
"An order... Did I hit him too hard before?"
Looking at the screen in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but complain, but he didn't expect that his words accidentally hit the truth.
Since Fang Zheng's goal was to clear the game as quickly as possible and then brush up on the map materials, he had been mobilizing Iona and the vampires to attack all the sea fog warships he could encounter in the past few days. Although the sea fog was reckless, it was not a fool. After realizing that something was wrong, it would naturally choose to huddle together for warmth.
"And this is clearly an anti-aircraft formation..."
"What should I do, Master?"
Looking at this scene, Nymph also frowned. In the past, they attacked groups of five at most, but now, the enemy had an air defense array of fifteen warships, which was really difficult to deal with.
"How about I use a drone to harass them? Those stupid guys will definitely get mad!"
At this time, the vampire also interrupted and proudly told Fang Zheng his plan, but soon Fang Zheng shook his head.
"You only have 15 drones. It's hard to say what results you can achieve. But if a drone is shot down... do you think it's free to repair it?"
Fang Zheng only has a limited amount of furniture coins!
By the way, what kind of drone is installed on a destroyer of yours?
"There's no other way. Even though it's a bit wasteful, this is the only thing we can do."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng gave the order.
"Iona, aim at the target in front and launch an attack, and make sure to sink it after one round of attack. Our range is much longer than theirs, so let's use this to fly a kite! Then we'll see how they react and decide on the next battle plan. Vampire, stay where you are and remember, don't move unless you're told to."
"I know."
Although a little unhappy, the vampire still nodded obediently.
"Target locked."
"Torpedo launch!"
“——!”
Following Fang Zheng's order, the purification-class stealth bomber hidden in the high-altitude clouds suddenly appeared. The next moment, dozens of torpedoes whizzed out and flew towards the distant target.
"Target starts moving!"
Shortly after the torpedoes were launched, the radar screen showed that the enemy seemed to have noticed the attack and began to turn quickly. At the same time, countless artillery fire flew into the sky, accompanied by whistling missiles to form an airtight anti-aircraft fire network. After just a few seconds, the screen in front of Fang Zheng showed that almost two-thirds of the torpedoes fired were destroyed. Although the remaining ones directly hit the enemy, they did not cause much damage.
"There is strength in numbers. This is troublesome enough..."
Seeing that his attack was ineffective, Fang Zheng frowned. Iona was silent for a moment, quietly looking at Fang Zheng who was sitting next to her.
"Master, what should I do?"
"Load the electronic bomb, then fire the torpedo again, in two batches, firing the electronic bomb in between!"
"yes!"
Following Fang Zheng's order, Iona quickly began to reload for the second time, and then another round of torpedoes was quickly launched. Then four electronic bombs followed closely, hiding in the smoke of the torpedoes and flying into the distance.
This time, the prepared sea fog certainly would not let Fang Zheng's trick succeed so easily again. Soon, the second wave of anti-aircraft barrage erupted again and rushed towards the torpedoes. However, those torpedoes were obviously unable to stand alone under such intensive firepower defense, and soon turned into large fireworks and dissipated in the air.
But then, four more strange black shadows emerged from the smoke of the explosion and continued to rush towards the target. This time they were lucky, perhaps because the sea fog had temporarily run out of ammunition, or because the previous explosion caused the sea fog's cruiser to not have time to react, so the four bombs flew by, then quickly exploded, and turned into several blue light circles that spread out in all directions.
“——!!”
The sea fog warships shrouded in blue light began to tremble instantly, and countless protective flashes appeared on their hulls, and then quickly began to weaken. At the same time, the second wave of torpedo attacks followed quickly!
"boom!!!"
This time, the Klein force field that the Sea Mist was proud of could no longer help them escape the catastrophe. Under the bombardment of erosion torpedoes, the three Sea Mist light cruisers that were hit first exploded directly, and the hulls of the remaining few were also severely damaged and began to retreat rapidly.
“This is really troublesome.”
Seeing that the sea fog warships not only did not pursue as he had expected, but instead began to retreat and try to evacuate, Fang Zheng could not help but frown. He was not the navy on the ground. If he were the other side, he would probably want the sea fog to evacuate, but Fang Zheng had a mission target, and he was still waiting to clear the level to brush the materials!
There should be a MT to attract fire, and you can just rush forward.
Now……
"Iona, start shooting again."
There is no other way. If the number is not enough, we will make up for it with firepower.
