The roar of the main gun firing, the sound of the ship-borne aircraft throwing torpedoes and bombs could be heard.
Only now did Chen Luo truly understand what a real battlefield was. Why would soldiers who had experienced too many battles feel so emotional when they returned to their hometown?
Before he transmigrated, he had heard a real mercenary outside the law describe his experience on the battlefield. When he first entered the battlefield, his mental state was extremely tense. He was afraid that stray bullets or snipers would come from the dark and take the lives of him and his teammates. Almost every night, he could not sleep well. As soon as there was the sound of a gunshot or a grenade explosion, he would immediately wake up. He took the gun and looked around very carefully. There was only one thought in his mind,'I want to survive.' However, after living on such a battlefield for two months, the sound of gunshots and grenades could still be heard at night, but he did not care at all. His mental state was extremely unstable. Later, his mental state only stabilized after he withdrew from the front line.
The responsibility that the admirals had to shoulder was to be the harbor for the hearts of the ship ladies, to become their spiritual pillar, and to take on the responsibility of every coordinated attack. But the problem was precisely here. Other than these responsibilities, the greater pressure was the responsibility that the admirals had to bear.
When an attack was in trouble, as an admiral, he had to do something, but who could guarantee that every choice would be correct? Making the wrong choice would result in a price. If the price was small, it would be the destruction of the ship lady. If the price was big, it was very likely to be the complete loss of a ship lady.
It was also because of this that many admirals who were stationed at the front line would experience an unforgettable and painful separation between life and death.
No admiral would be willing to watch his ship's mother be left under that sea forever because of his mistake.
According to Yan Tong, during the graduation ceremony of the naval academy, the veteran general, who was also the principal of the school, would confer titles on each admiral. Then, he would tell them something he had said many times before."Becoming an admiral means spending your entire life fighting against the deep-sea warships. This path only had a good beginning and no good ending.”
This sentence might be too cold, but it was quite true.
Bismarck's artillery bombardment never stopped, and neither did Richardson's, Tyrbitz's, and Prestige's.
When the battle was about to come to an end, Chen Luo, who had recovered from his shock, suddenly realized that the red dot on the three-dimensional sea map had turned into a red boss icon with two horns.
"The enemy only has one flagship left.”Tyrbitz's voice rang out in the fleet's communication channel.
"Change the speed." Chen Luo raised his eyebrows and observed carefully through the real-time image fed back by the reconnaissance plane.
On the battlefield filled with thick smoke, the deep-sea flagship with demonic patterns on its hull was still floating on the surface of the sea. However, the data flow around its hull had disappeared at some point, and the originally majestic bridge had become a sea of fire under the bombardment of the main cannon.
The bursts of purple light seemed to have weakened and dimmed, perhaps because of its great destruction.
From the looks of it now, it seemed to be an arrow at the end of its flight, and there was only one more straw left to completely crush it.
Maintain the current speed and close the distance. Prepare to fire a volley of main cannons to take it away.
Chen Luo had originally planned to give the order like this, but as soon as the words reached his throat, a sense of palpitation surged into his brain.
This palpitation seemed to be warning him of something.
When the words were about to come out of his mouth, he changed his words.
"Lower the speed of the entire ship and maintain it at half of its full speed. Change the main cannon's salvo to firing in sequence. Lex and Sarataga pulled back the bomber. Now they just needed to pull away and use the torpedoes.”
It was as if someone was reminding him.
"Understood."
Although Bismarck was a little confused, she faithfully carried out Chen Luo's orders.
When the fleet began to follow Chen Luo's orders to slow down to half the speed, the patterns around the deep-sea flagship shook strangely. In the billowing smoke, a demonic female figure was faintly discernible.
The reconnaissance aircraft was not recalled and was still hovering above the flagship. Its anti-air firepower system had been completely destroyed. At this time, it could only stare at the reconnaissance aircraft hovering above her head.
"What is that?" Chen Luo frowned.
"The personification of the Deep-Sea Flagship." Bismarck, who had returned to the captain's room at some point, answered Chen Luo's question." Deep sea heavy cruisers and above have a chance to be personified, but their personification is mostly superficial. They don't dress properly, and they only have revenge and violence in their eyes. They still don't have the ability to think.”
Chen Luo didn't think that the explanation was relevant, but there was something in the middle that caught his attention.
What did he mean by dressing inappropriately…?
Suddenly, Chen Luo remembered the line Bismarck would say after the oath in the game: "Tsk, so you like this kind of figure, Admiral. Your taste is really bad.”
The uneasiness was slightly diluted by this memory. Chen Luo smiled, stood up, and signaled Bismarck to come closer with his eyes. When Bismarck tilted his head and moved closer, he reached out and touched her head.
"Admiral!" Bismarck was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His face turned red and he took two steps back. His cold expression finally became warm.
Chen Luo blinked and pretended not to hear him.
The faintly discernible female figure finally left the thick smoke and gradually became clear.
As Bismarck described, the deep sea flagship's personification perfectly matched the condition of only bloodthirstiness and brutality in his eyes.
However…
Chen Luo looked at the Deep-Sea Flagship on the screen and felt that something was wrong.
There seemed to be some unwillingness in its eyes.
The main cannons of the four battleships shot accurately at its hull, and every shell that hit it dealt considerable damage. Logically speaking, after a warship's deck was washed and ignited, water would leak. If the fire was not controlled, it would even cause the ship to sink. Although he did not know if the Deep Sea Fleet followed this basic law, based on what Chen Luo had observed before, the ignited Deep Sea warships seemed to extinguish the fire on the deck as quickly as possible.
Then the Deep-Sea Flagship's actions were a little strange. It clearly still had the ability to resist, but why...
All of a sudden, the purple light on the ship's hull became dazzling again. Then, the purple light began to flicker in a regular pattern, like…a time bomb that could explode at any time.
"Admiral, it is increasing its speed and approaching our position.”Bismarck realized something was wrong. The moment the purple light on his body shone again, his body moved again. This time, his goal was to approach their fleet.
Damn it, it couldn't be thinking of self-destructing, right?？
Chen Luo suddenly had this thought.
In the game, regardless of whether it was an activity map or a normal map, the final boss point would have to be attacked a few times before it could be completely killed. In this world, it was very likely that after the big break, the final flagship of these boss points would retreat after sensing that something was wrong.
However, the fact was that the flagship did not retreat. Instead, it charged towards them.
It was a little like a self-destructing truck.
"Don't let it catch up. Increase the speed and continue shooting.”Chen Luo did not hesitate. Since the other party had shown the intention to self-destruct, the correct way to do it was to pull away and continue shooting until it completely sank.
The speed of the fleet began to increase. As the speed indicator changed and the power source was adjusted, the overall speed of the fleet reached the threshold point of close to full speed.
As the sun set, the roar of artillery fire and the sound of planes circling in the sky continued until half of the setting sun was swallowed by the sea.
Finally, the fleet stopped sailing, and the deep-sea flagship that was about to perish with them sank completely under Bismarck's godly cannon attack.
As the demonic purple light on the surface of the Deep-Sea Flagship flickered to its maximum, the sky-piercing flames and deafening explosions resounded throughout the sea. In the billowing smoke, the battle was completely over.
The 3D map showed the current mission completion rate (5/5).
After the red marks on the three-dimensional sea map completely disappeared, everyone in the fleet subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
Phew. Chen Luo heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up and walked out of the captain's room under the setting sun.
Bismarck followed behind Chen Luo.
"This is the first time the Deep-Sea Flagship has self-destructed after us, right?”It was only now that Chen Luo finally understood why he had such a strong sense of unease.
If he didn't care about the uneasiness and chose to get close to her, the result would be a nightmare for him for the rest of his life.
Now, he finally understood why the Deep-Sea flagship did not choose to retreat after losing all means of attack but kept taking the hits.
This time, they must have come with a goal that they must achieve.
And this goal was most likely to drag the core fleet responsible for the frontline defense line to the bottom of the sea forever.
Bismarck nodded as the gentle sea breeze blew across the sea.
This was indeed the first time that the Deep-Sea Flagship had adopted a self-destructing attack.

In the assessment room, Xi Zhang covered his mouth.
She remembered very clearly that in the original records, this naval battle had paid a heavy price. Because of Chen Luo's misjudgment at that time, the fleet was too close to the deep-sea flagship. At the moment when the deep-sea flagship self-destructed, in order to protect the admiral on the Bismarck's hull, he took the initiative to speed up to the threshold to knock Bismarck away and take the explosion.
Chen Luo was unharmed, but the price was that his reputation had almost sunk.
According to Ricaillou, who had experienced that naval battle, Chen Luo blamed himself for a long time after his reputation was greatly improved.
But now, he had changed his fate.
Could this be considered a change brought about by the restart of the timeline?
Xi looked at Chen Luo, who was chatting with Bismarck with his eyes narrowed as he welcomed the gentle sea breeze.
Suddenly, she smiled.
This was a good start, wasn't it?
This time, the admiral will definitely lead us to defeat the final enemy.
Xi Zhang's eyes shone with a firm light.
