Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 883: Encirclement and Suppression War Exercise (5) Abandoned King George V-class design, the

If the Prince of Wales still doesn't realize that his communications channels have been hacked, then she is too slow.

Yang Sikang was also aware of this, so he had no intention of pretending to be deaf and dumb and pretending that he had not invaded their communication channel. He responded directly:

"Indeed, when using exercise weapons, the effect of anti-ship missiles cannot be fully demonstrated, and the combat power is greatly reduced. It is not wise to fight you head-on. But who said I came here alone?"

As soon as the words fell, two ship girls jumped down from both sides of the Gu Diao, appearing on the radar interface one after the other, and also appeared in their field of vision.

"You are... the two ship girls I met earlier who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar. I see, Commander Yang, are you talking about introducing us now?"

The Prince of Wales was not worried. It was just an extra light cruiser and a battleship. In terms of combat power, this was still an advantage on their side when the Gu Diao could not demonstrate its huge firepower advantage in actual combat.

But War-weariness became serious and reminded:

"Wales, put away your curiosity. These two ship girls are very strong!"

The Prince of Wales widened his eyes in surprise, then became serious.

After the transformation, Warspite has been greatly improved in all aspects, and she can be said to be very strong, which proves that these two unfamiliar ship girls are definitely not simple.

In fact, war weariness has only just been discovered.

Because they had just met as ordinary people before, she didn't notice it. But now after getting in touch with them, War-Yan immediately noticed the abnormally strong mental cube reactions of these two ship girls.

It is obviously extremely thick, yet very hidden.

This caused her some uneasiness.

The war-weary attitude also caused a change in the atmosphere of the entire fleet. Seeing this scene, Yang Sikang chuckled:

"Well, then tell Ms. Warspite and the Prince of Wales your names first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ship girl who looked like a maid held the huge trident and saluted gracefully:

"My name is Neptune. Although I have never met you, I am of royal origin."

Then the monarch spoke coldly:

"My name is Monarch, and I am considered to be from the royal family, but for me I do not agree with this. I am the ship girl of my commander, both now and in the future."

Both of them were born into a royal family?

The Prince of Wales and Warspite looked at each other and their expressions became serious.

Without any further negotiations, the atmosphere between the two sides quickly became tense.

The purpose of Yang Sikang bringing these two ship girls from this direction is self-evident. Prince of Wales and War-weary also wanted to test the strength of these two ship girls who claimed to be from the royal family but were unknown to them.

The battle ended a few minutes later when a straddle shell accidentally landed nearby and suddenly exploded. Almost at the same time, Neptune and Monarch directly attacked Warspite and Prince of Wales. Relying on the advantages of high speed and strong defense, the Gu Diao quickly retreated out of the danger zone and at the same time fired multiple smoke bombs between the two sides.

Since the effectiveness of anti-ship missile launchers has been greatly reduced due to the use of practice ammunition, it would be better to use something functional, such as smoke bombs!

These smoke bombs expanded on the sea surface and became a cover. The two sides tested, moved and attacked each other through the smoke bombs. However, after a round of fighting, both Warspite and the Prince of Wales noticed the problem.

The ship girl who calls herself the monarch has terrifying firepower!

Although she had previously claimed that she was using a 406mm main gun, it was foreseeable that there would be a gap in firepower, but this gap was a bit too exaggerated!

"This is practice ammunition. If it were real ammunition, it would be even more powerful. It's really incredible."

Warspite is generally evaluated as being able to maintain mobility while firing highly accurate artillery fire. Her firing frequency is not high, but her hit rate is extremely high, and she can always interrupt the monarch's movement fluidity at important moments and interfere with her.

Although Neptune was trying to get closer, Warspite was able to temporarily restrain Neptune with his secondary guns and movement routes, and was also able to interfere with the Monarch.

The Gu Diao was just watching from the sidelines, seemingly having no intention of joining the battle.

In fact, Yang Sikang did not intend to let the Gu Diao directly participate in the battle.

However, War-weary is experienced in combat and is very good at restraining Neptune while interfering with the monarch.

The Gu Diao was in action. Its main gun and anti-ship missile launcher were affected and were not so useful at this distance, but the close-in defense guns and other equipment on board the Gu Diao were still useful.

The roar of the 10,000-round cannons with an astonishing firing rate, accompanied by a dense barrage of bullets, hit the Warspite. Even the modified Warspite would be quickly judged to be sunk under such an attack. She could only dodge helplessly and was forced to separate from the direction of the Prince of Wales.

The fleet they were leading had already been tied down by George V, and Yang Sikang used brutal means to force the Prince of Wales to leave him no chance to fight the monarch on the battlefield.

The Prince of Wales also noticed this and smiled:

"It looks like they want us to have a fair fight. I don't know why they would bother to do this during an exercise, but since the stage has been set, it would be a shame if we don't go on stage."

The two of them tacitly ceased fire temporarily and maintained a subtle distance.

The Prince of Wales shook the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, and raised the sword.

"King George V-class battleship, Prince of Wales, please advise."

The monarch also took out his cane and responded politely:

"I am the monarch, please give me your guidance."

The exercise area was divided in such a strange way. On Yang Sikang's fleet side, the ship girls made the most of their flexibility advantage as ship girls without carrying mass-produced ships. Under the arrangement of several ship girls in charge of command, they methodically implemented the strategy of pulling and dividing the Royal Fleet, and continuously accumulated victories.

As time goes by, the balance of victory slowly tilts towards you.

Guanghui was also aware of the change in the situation, but she was ambushed midway and it would be difficult for her to perform well in such a situation even if she had the ability, not to mention that after achieving the suppression effect, Yang Sikang's fleet took the opportunity to divide the battlefield to replace personnel. She was now exhausted from defense and could only patiently wait for an opportunity to break the deadlock.

The battle situation on the side of the Gu Diao was much simpler and clearer. Although Neptune could not do anything to Warspite for a while, with the assistance of the Gu Diao, Neptune constantly forced Warspite to make evasive maneuvers along the way, and took the opportunity to sink many other ships around. George V, who came to take over, also accepted the help. Although Warspite's rich experience allowed her to continue fighting, the overall situation was already very clear.

As for the Prince of Wales, she seemed very excited about the duel with the monarch, but the gap in combat power between the two sides was already quite obvious.

In terms of hardware, whether the Prince of Wales likes it or not, he must admit that the ship girl in front of him who bears the name of the monarch is indeed stronger than himself, but she did not bow her head because of this, nor would she admit defeat.

On the contrary, in the battle with the monarch, she felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure, a spiritual pleasure of challenging and surpassing herself!

The exercise lasted for three hours from the time the Prince of Wales and the Monarch began their duel. The two ship girls even reached the point where they had no ammunition left and were fighting with swords and canes transformed from their ship equipment. Finally, the Prince of Wales could no longer hold on and was blocked by the Monarch's cane.

"What an unforgettable exercise. Now I am curious, how strong would you be if it were a real battle?"

The monarch put away her cane, having outdone the Prince of Wales in an exercise, and this was her first, but she did not feel the satisfaction she had expected.

The battle with Wales was even more satisfying. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, feeling as if something in her heart was also exhaled.

"You are strong."

The Prince of Wales emphasized it again, then looked at the monarch seriously and asked:

"Can you tell me who you are?"

The monarch looked calmly at the Prince of Wales, and spoke as if relieved:

"I am the abandoned King George V-class ship that was supposed to use 15-inch main guns. I am the ship that was never allowed to be born. Now, I am the proposed ship that has appeared here with a new body... the Monarch."

The Prince of Wales' smile froze instantly, his eyes widened and he stared at the monarch in a daze, unable to speak.
