Chapter 315 Xu Jin Barrage
"It actually disappeared... We clearly didn't attack it." Saniya said in surprise.

"This shows that the power of the jellyfish is not infinite. It summoned these whale moth beasts from afar and strengthened them at the same time, so it no longer has the power to maintain the 'Silk Curtain'... I guess that's the case." Xia Ye said.

"But why didn't it put the 'whale' next to it in the first place?"

"This means that these moth beasts were originally carrying out other equally important tasks... Of course, this is just a guess."

……

"Look, you guessed wrong." Carunh smiled. "Take out the can of Dome Tea. Make sure you get the one produced in 410. Don't make a mistake."

"Let's talk about it after we deal with these monsters." The gunner said in a muffled voice, and then raised his voice: "Replace all the fixed-explosion bombs with sensory-explosion bombs! Don't just stand there! Move!"

Although everyone knew that the gunner's temper was not due to the loader's slowness, no one dared to offend her at this time. The sailors on the deck started to move, pulling out the magazines of fixed-explosive shells from the feed port, putting them back into the ammunition compartment, and replacing them with magazines of sensitive-explosive shells.

On the other side, Kelun had already walked slowly to the gun position that was originally loaded with explosive bombs, patted the gunner on the shoulder, and pointed to the sky in the distance:

"See those black dots? You can fire freely without aiming too accurately. The 'Induction Detonation' contract will detonate the warhead as long as it senses the presence of a target within a radius of 15 meters."

The gunner nodded, and with the power of the "Structural Strengthening" contract, he used the strength of his arms to turn the turret, adjust the gun elevation, and quickly aimed in the direction pointed by Kelun. Soon, the latest rapid-fire gun developed by Yuanchuan Leasing sprayed out shells as long as the forearm at a rate of 90 rounds per minute.

A moment later, fires lit up in the distant moth beasts, and the monsters' broken limbs fell like rain. The shells engraved with the "sensing blast" contract were customized weapons specially made by Yuanchuan Leasing to deal with small moth beasts. The original imaginary enemy was the seven-leaf beast encountered during the last voyage. Although the species was different from what was expected, the effect was still as good.

The shells engraved with "directional blasting" are mainly used to deal with whales or large moth beasts. Not long ago, Colen and the gunner had an argument about which kind of enemy they would encounter first. As a result, the two made a bet and loaded half of the eight rapid-fire cannons with sensor-explosive shells and the other half with directional-explosive shells.

When the four guns loaded with explosive bombs had finished firing a magazine, the other four guns finally completed the reloading at the urging of the gunner.

"2 o'clock! Open freely--"

The order got stuck in her throat before she could finish shouting it.

Caren was also surprised, but then she burst into laughter.

The group of moth beasts in the distance were parting to the sides like a curtain, and a moth beast as big as a white whale slowly emerged from the sea of ​​clouds.

The gunner punched the gun shield, denting the thick ether steel armor. She gritted her teeth, shook her hands, and roared angrily:

"Replace the sensory explosive bombs with fixed explosive bombs!"

The crew members started to move, but Coulomb reached out and stopped a gunner who was about to pull out the magazine.

"Don't change it!" she shouted.

The gunner looked at her in confusion.

"Don't worry about that big guy. All gun positions should fire freely at the small moth beasts!"

Hearing the order from Captain Colen, the crew no longer hesitated. Soon, all the rapid-fire guns roared, shaking the deck so much that it began to tremble.

"What should we do with the whale?!" The gunner came to Hoorn and asked loudly amid the huge noise of the rapid-fire cannon.

"I just received a message from the 'Moby Dick' - we don't have to worry about the big guy. We can use the advantages of rapid-fire guns and concentrate on cleaning up the small ones." Caren explained with a smile.

The gunner still had a frown on his face, obviously not understanding what Hoorn was saying.

But just a few seconds later, she saw a straight streak of lightning suddenly streak across the sky and accurately hit the giant whale-shaped moth beast.

Immediately afterwards, there were several, then dozens of similar lightning flashes, and scarlet balls of light exploded on the moth beast's body one after another. Amid the monster's painful roars, one of its bone wing and a large part of its body were blown to pieces. Black fragments with a rocky texture flew high into the sky, drew parabolas, and fell into the sea of ​​clouds below like raindrops.

"What is that?!" the gunner asked in surprise.

"Lightning Spear," said Kelun. "Unlike in the past when a single whaling ship was fighting alone, we now have an entire fleet, so we must have a system-based combat mindset. This is not what I said, but what our big ship owner Xia Ye said."

"Look over there again." Colen pointed his finger behind him again.

The gunner turned his head and saw black dots arranged in a wedge shape on the distant skyline.

"Those are the Strike Witches that took off again from the Moby Dick. These flying kittens are very good at using their lightning guns to attack large targets from a distance, but they are not very good at dealing with those small moth beasts that are swarming together. Therefore, our mission is to use the rapid-fire cannon to open a channel for them, cover them as they pass through the interception of these moth beasts, and allow them to reach a position where they can attack the jellyfish."

The gunner was stunned for a few seconds, as if she was digesting what Carun said. Finally, she nodded heavily and said, "I know what to do, Master Carun."

"That's good. I prefer to stay on the bridge. I'll leave this to you." Kelun patted the other's shoulder and turned away. "Then the tea leaves..."

"You still have to give it to me and admit defeat."

"..."

……

"The passage has appeared! Form a dense column! Turn on 'Synchronous Reinforcement' and move within the range of firepower. Don't be afraid of explosions. Even if you are hit by shrapnel, you will not be injured. At most, it will hurt a little!"

Nana shouted out orders, and the Strike Witches changed their wedge formation, which was suitable for throwing lightning spears, into a column and entered the passage that the Brenhill had opened up through the moth beasts with its artillery fire.

Under the dense rain of bullets from the rapid-fire cannon, all the moth beasts that tried to get close were torn to pieces, but the killing range of the explosive bombs also covered the Strike Witches. From time to time, shrapnel that was too fast to distinguish passed by them. After a while, a loud "Awooo" came from Nana's ears.

"what happened?"

She turned her head and saw Olicia with a painful look on her face.

"A shell hit my butt!" The girl rubbed her back with her palms.

"It's shrapnel, not a shell. If it was a shell, your butt would have been blown apart by now." Nana corrected, but to be on the safe side, she still asked June Snow to fly up and check the other person's injuries.

The girl with a cold expression flew to Olicia, lifted up the hem of her skirt that had a hole torn by shrapnel and took a look: "Nothing's wrong, just a little red."

"But it really hurts..." As if to prove her words, tears appeared in Olicia's eyes.

"That only means that your pain nerves are more sensitive. Just get hit a few more times and your body will automatically adjust and make you less sensitive to pain."

"Huh? I don't want to be..."

Before Olicia could finish her complaint, she saw June Snow's body twist quickly.

Before she could react, pain spread across the other half of her butt.

"Ouch!!"

The girl screamed again and turned her head to glare at June Snow.

But the other party just spread his hands innocently: "I dodged subconsciously and didn't have time to remind you."

"..."

Olicia was about to say something else when she suddenly realized that the formation had passed through the entire group of moth beasts. The explosion of the shells fell behind them, blocking the enemies who were still trying to pursue them.

Passing through the towering Yunshan Mountains, the view ahead was no longer blocked. Olicia once again saw the giant jellyfish hanging in the sky. Not long ago, they were still worried about whether they could leave the "Silk Curtain" alive, but now, they have fought back again.

Olicia felt a stinging sensation from the mark on her chest. She knew that this meant that the second batch of Lightning Spears had begun to be distributed to everyone. Not long ago, Lord Xia Ye once again updated the "communication debt" contract, stipulating that the bond interest could be paid not only with Mor, but also with the power of the contract. As a result, the Lightning Spear was paid into everyone's body in the form of bond interest.

The transfer took about thirty seconds to complete. Now, Olicia had two Lightning Spears in her body. She kept one of them in her body to maintain the charging state, and pulled the other one out of her chest and held it in her hand.

The others made the same move. After a moment, the target mark was transmitted. To many people's surprise, the target was not the jellyfish, but the group of whale-shaped moth beasts swimming under the jellyfish.

But Nana was not surprised at all. She immediately gave the order: "Start throwing in ten seconds!"

Ten seconds later, the lightning spears disappeared into the distance, trailing lightning. Nana flew to Olicia and said, "I have other tasks and need to leave the formation temporarily. You will take over the captain's duties while I am away."

"Yes, Captain Nana!"

Ever since Olicia took over Sania's captain duties and led the formation to successfully withdraw from the "Silk Curtain", she has become the third in the command sequence of the Strike Witches formation.

Nana left the formation and climbed to a higher altitude at an accelerated speed. She looked at the jellyfish in the distance again, reached into the bag at her waist, and took out a round ball with a smooth and cold surface.

It was an eyeball, or an artificial eye, or something else... When Tang Li took it out of the eye socket in front of her, Nana was so surprised that she could hardly speak. The other party asked her to take it to a place close to the jellyfish and release it, and then there was no need to do anything else.

It was not until she left the Moby Dick that she gradually realized that perhaps the fleet had prepared other means to deal with the giant jellyfish on the dome.

She spread out her palms, and the sphere immediately floated to a slightly higher position, flying with her. After a moment, the sphere began to grow rapidly, and soon turned into a giant eyeball with a diameter of more than 3 meters, opening its golden vertical pupil.
