"Has this begun? The Burning Crusade..."

Bellmere and other female soldiers from all over the world were assigned to the only special battleship in the Grand Fleet, guarding the right side of the beast-like flagship ship. Personally, she was slightly uneasy.

Yu, my heart is more full of expectations and emotions.

Three years ago, when she accepted the call-up order for veterans from the Navy Headquarters, returned to the front line and arrived at Malinvando, she thought she would join the battle soon. But she did not expect that the various "adaptive training" did not prepare them at all.

opportunity, and it has lasted for so long - so long that the two daughters she brought from the East China Sea, Nokigao, have now attended the "Navy Headquarters Elementary School", and Nami has also received admission to the "Navy Kindergarten"

notify……

However, in any case, compared to three years ago when she relied on reckless courage to make a desperate move, and even made plans for how to let Ajian arrange her pension after her death, Bellemare today is more confident about what she will face next.

The battle is full of confidence based on rational thinking - in the past three years of training, she has gained the combat power that she will not lose easily, and she also has the reason why she absolutely cannot lose.

"You are wrong, Bellemare, we are not engaged in the Burning Crusade now,"

Beside Bellemere, a slender sword hung on her waist. She had a terrible burn on the back of her right hand. She was a good-looking female sailor in her early 20s and said, "Commander Sakaski of the Burning Legion."

The general is currently stationed in the New World, and the one leading us this time is General Porusalino, so it should be the 'Expedition of the Holy Light'!"

"So that's what it is,"

Bellemere had a look of realization on his face, and then he laughed teasingly, "But having said that, once it comes to General Porusalino, you become so serious, Iska..."

"Of course,"

She was not embarrassed at all by Bellemere's teasing. The captain named Iska did not even move her eyebrows. Her eyes that revealed a strong will were staring straight at the waves that were split into two parts by the warship. With her left hand

His fingers subconsciously touched the scar on the back of his right hand, "I joined the navy just because I admired him!"

Bellmere knew what his best friend meant - the village where Iska was born and grew up was attacked by pirates ten years ago, and the entire village instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, and even her parents were killed.

She was involved in it. And when she was surrounded by flames and smoke, and paralyzed to the ground by the fear of death, it was Porusalino who arrived in time with the sailors and personally saved her from the flames.

she.

Therefore, for Iska, Porusalino is not only her nominal superior, but also a guidepost in her life.

"So, Captain Iska, the 'Nailhand' who is idolized by General 'Kizaru', can you use your familiarity and understanding of him to analyze where he will lead us to perform the mission this time?"

Bellmere grinned and joked.

"It's very simple,"

Iska rolled her eyes at Bellemere, and then lowered her voice, "If we are entering the new world, there are only two ways - either the large fleet will collectively coat the Chambord Islands, and then pass through the place where Admiral Kuzan is stationed.

The Fish-Man Island route reaches the New World; or it will stop on the Red Earth Continent, and then use the land pass to cross the Red Earth Plateau and arrive at the G-1 branch in the New World..."

"And our course this time is exactly opposite to the position of the Chambord Islands, heading towards the first half of the Grand Route - are there any pirate forces in Paradise that need to use a super-large fleet like the Burning Legion to encircle and suppress them?

At a glance, it’s not there—but!”

"……but?"

Bellemere frowned - although she had not failed in her theoretical classes during the three years of training at the Navy Headquarters, compared to a sailor like Iska who got A's every time in her theoretical class assessments, she was still

Better at actual combat.

"There is a war mercenary country in the North Sea where all the people are soldiers. Its name is Germa. If this kingdom is the target, it is indeed worthy of dispatching a large fleet..."

…

The large fleet named "Burning Legion" really went as Iska analyzed. After setting off from the Navy Headquarters, it headed in the opposite direction of the paradise route using the permanent pointer, and finally arrived at Polusali via the Upside Down Mountain.

The place where Nuo once joined the navy, Beihai.

During these days of sailing, there was naturally no pirate group that did not have the foresight to challenge a large fleet of this size. They all stayed far away and did not dare to approach at all.

However, the fact that the pirates do not take the initiative to provoke does not mean that the navy will let them go. Especially since Porusalino, who is the commander of the Grand Fleet, has just become an admiral, it is absolutely necessary to improve his performance——

"Sir, we found the shadow of a ship due south... two thousand meters away... with a pirate flag!"

"Can we determine the specific identity? Is it a valuable target?"

Porusalino asked.

After a while, he heard the report again: "It's the 'Black Hand Pirates', and the captain is the 'Black Hand' Darkness with a bounty of 220 million."

As we all know, since the "Era of Wang Luffy's Going to the Sea" with inflation has not yet entered, the bounties offered by pirates today are not too exaggerated. Although "one Bailey" today is not equal to "one Bailey" in the future, but

There are still several times the ratio between the two.

By the way, although there are still occasional guys like "Hacksaw Rocks", the first pirate that Porusalino once encountered, whose bounty is inflated because he has the same name as a big shot, but usually,

The bounty can accurately reflect the danger and strength of a certain pirate.

The bounty reaches 220 million beli. This is the case for the "Black Hand" Darkness who has been hanging around in the New World all year round. His name is "Black Hand" not only because he is good at armed color and domineering, but also because he only needs

If the profit is sufficient, he can act as anyone's thug, and his actions have no bottom line.

So it's obvious that this guy must have taken on some big job when he appears in Beihai now...

And 80% of this big job was given to him by the Navy's target, the Kingdom of Germa - because looking at the entire North Sea, only the Kingdom of Germa has the ability to hire ruthless people like him, and can guarantee that they will not be cheated by him.

black.

"What I hate the most is this kind of person who has no sense of shame or any principles and will do anything as long as the salary is paid!"

Porusalino put down his coffee cup, shook his "justice" cloak, and expressed his views with dignity.

Gion, who was already a major general, glanced at Porusalino, and then decided to turn away - this was the technique taught to them by Marshal Sengoku: as long as they didn't see Polusalino, they wouldn't feel embarrassed or speechless!

Porusalino continued to ask, minding his own business:

"Which ship is serving as the surveillance ship on the outermost side of the fleet today?"

"Admiral, this is the 'Flower of the Navy'!"

"It turns out it's the girls... very good, order them to chase the enemy ship and fire freely!"

"yes!"

…

After receiving Porusalino's order, the "Flower of the Navy" on which Bellemeier and the others were located first conducted several rounds of semi-volley calibration shots - although the wind speed in this area was not low at the moment.

, the sea surface is also undulating, but with the most advanced artillery of the Navy Headquarters and the superb gunnery skills of the girls, the impact point distribution of the 128-pound gun on the "Flower of the Navy" is still ideal.

then--

"Distance 9, angle 4, scale 3, high explosives loading, full fire coverage!"

Bellemare gave orders to the artillery crew on the side.

Before Porusalino came up with the phone bug update, the Navy Headquarters had a limited annual military budget, so it was always a bit petty in the tactical training of officers and advocated "doing twice the result with half the effort."

As Polusalino's phone bug update brought a large amount of revenue to the World Government, the military expenditure of the Navy Headquarters increased significantly. The naval instructors headed by Admiral Zefa also began to change the thinking of the tactics class.

——

First, fire coverage!

Second, fire coverage!

Third, it’s fucking fire coverage!

In addition, if the result of the battle is still unsatisfactory, it must be that the firepower coverage is not enough! We need to increase our efforts!

Therefore, Bellmeier, who only came to the Navy Headquarters three years ago, is obviously a "martial and moral" officer who has accepted the new way of thinking!

During the pursuit, the "Navy Flower" sailing from east to west has been parallel to the Black Hand Pirates' pirate ship "Black Hand" and engaged the enemy on the port side.

Compared with the Navy's special battleship "Flower of the Navy", the "Black Hand" is simply a small ship, with only 30 cannons capable of being used in artillery battles. Relatively speaking, the left chord of the "Flower of the Navy" is almost full of artillery.

On the four inner and outer decks, the gun windows are neatly arranged.

And not only in terms of the number of artillery, range, accuracy, rate of fire, firepower, etc., the "Flower of the Navy" can steadily beat the children.

In various senses, this is an unfair contest. But Porusalino doesn't think there is any problem with this. After all, they are the navy and the opposite is the pirates. Who is fair?

Dozens of shells roared across the space between the two ships, and then quickly approached the target - before the "Black Hand" could intercept it, a sudden explosion occurred.

The solid projectile turned into a large ball of orange flames in an instant, and then splashed towards the deck of the "Black Hand", the mast and sails in a fan shape. At the same time, a large number of shrapnel also exploded onto the deck.

…

The shells can be defended, but the flames cannot be defended - the orange fire ignited the sails of the "Black Hand" in an instant, and then the "Flower of the Navy" continued to fire, and the flames spread over a wider area on the "Black Hand"

" spread out, and then the ship began to stall.

The "Flower of the Navy" began to circle around the pirate ship, like a cat playing with a mouse, and continued to pour a large amount of ammunition as it moved.

Of course, during this process, solid artillery shells did fall on the "Flower of the Navy", but the latter's special armor was obviously not vegetarian, let alone various defense methods and management measures after being shelled.

——It may be a bit crazy to say that mosquitoes scratch it, but people scratch it in the same way.

In this way, the "Flower of the Navy" bombarded the opposite side for ten minutes, almost sinking the other side. The captain, Colonel Tirpitz (female), then ordered to approach the "Black Hand" which had been severely damaged.

.

Seeing that the distance between the two ships was enough, Captain Iska quickly took a few steps forward, and then stepped directly above the turret.

Then, a straight white light appeared in the sky, which was triggered by the bow of the "Flower of the Navy", and then chopped down from top to bottom in an instant!
