Azur Lane Under the Stars

However, the company also felt considerable pressure from this matter and dared not be distracted in the slightest.

Because this is the demon Ayanami, just like a berserker, getting stronger the more she fights.

No, we need to finish this quickly.

The company gritted its teeth and made a bold decision.

"Hmm, have you noticed that Miss Enterprise's attack frequency has slowed down?"

Plymouth suddenly asked a question.

"Indeed," Brest noticed as well. "Are you somewhat exhausted?"

"Perhaps. That kind of high-frequency and high-precision archery is also very mentally taxing, not to mention having to accurately calculate the distance between two people."

Plymouth said.

"In that case, wouldn't continuing the fight mean victory for Ayanami?" Brest exclaimed. "I never imagined a destroyer could be so powerful."

“The reputation of the demon god Ayanami is quite renowned even in our world, isn’t it?” Plymouth said.

"That's true, but it still feels a bit hard to imagine," Brest muttered to himself.

Ayanami, who was fighting against the company, also noticed the company's "fatigue".

I couldn't help but feel a little wary. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. How could I feel tired so quickly?

Is this a scam?

Ayanami did not choose to be reckless, but continued to maintain this offensive rhythm, since she still had plenty of energy.

"Hmm, I'm not falling for it..." the company said helplessly.

We have no choice but to keep releasing water and take a gamble.

The company's attack rate also gradually slowed down, creating the illusion that it was truly running out of energy.

During this time, she even deliberately let Ayanami knock her hat off.

After several rounds of probing, Ayanami gradually calmed down. Although she still felt a sense of unease, her intuition told her that she could go for it!

With a sudden burst of energy, Ayanami's swordsmanship and strength also rose to a new level, indicating that she was preparing to end the match!

The company appeared to be struggling to cope, but inwardly it was secretly delighted.

Although Ayanami's intuition has always been very accurate, don't forget that her ultimate skill is one of the few bug-level skills in the port.

It's possible to simply and temporarily slow down her intuition.

The company once again revealed a flaw, and as expected, Ayanami fell for it. She narrowed her eyes and slashed directly at the company's chest.

Then, just as she was about to unleash her attack, she saw a slight upturn at the corner of the company's mouth.

Oh no, we've been tricked.

Ayanami knew she was in trouble, but by then the knife was already out of reach. So she hardened her eyes and increased the force in her hand, slashing straight at the company with the force of splitting a mountain.

"Ayanami has been tricked."

Yorktown and Ruihe remarked at the same time.

These two are arguably the two most familiar with every move and strategy of the company.

Having witnessed the company's subtle actions, they understood the company's intentions.

The company's movements suddenly quickened considerably, releasing the composite bow in its hand to block Ayanami's sword for a fleeting moment, but that one moment was enough.

The coat on the back of the company was thrown off, obscuring Ayanami's view.

Using the bow and arrow as a shield and his coat to obscure his vision, Enterprise also took out his knife from his ship's equipment space.

Left? Or right?

Despite having her vision obscured, Ayanami remained remarkably calm. She needed to rely on her intuition to determine where the next attack would come from.

the answer is……

Up!

Enterprise's trench coat was so big that it completely covered her, and taking advantage of the moment when Ayanami was slightly surprised, Enterprise jumped up, not high, but enough to gain leverage.

Ayanami barely managed to block the powerful blow; the force of the impact made her hands go numb the moment they made contact.

As expected of someone who draws a bow, he's incredibly strong.

The company was relentless in its pursuit of its advantage, and for a time, Ayanami was forced into a defensive posture, constantly being pushed back by the company.

"Haha, that's how I got scammed by a company."

For some reason, Zuikaku seemed very excited. Perhaps it was because she had found a companion who shared the same feelings?

"Hmph, if this continues, and Ayanami loses, who will be able to call me a noob?" Zuikaku said nonchalantly.

Ayanami was also feeling a bit frustrated. After all, the company was a flagship enterprise, and while they might not be as proficient in military strategy as Amagi and Shinto, they were still much better than her.

I thought this was a martial arts competition, but you've started playing tactics.

Sure enough, your tactics are all dirty tricks.

Ultimately, under the company's relentless bombardment, Ayanami was forced to the very spot where she had once stepped, only to slip and fall into a small crater, leaving her with no choice but to suffer a regrettable defeat.

All of this was within the company's calculations.

"How could this happen... What a pity, Ayanami-chan." Javelin felt very sorry for her partner.

"Hmm, but Enterprise is pretty amazing too," Z23 said, stroking his chin.

"Let's go comfort Ayanami then," Unicorn suggested.

"it is good."

Meanwhile, Zuikaku, looking inexplicably smug, said to those around him, "See? I told you I wasn't a noob. It was clearly the other person who lacked sportsmanship."

"However, strictly speaking, you lasted two minutes last time, and this time Ayanami lasted five minutes even though she was being overwhelmed... The conclusion is that you are still a weakling."

Kaga indicated by timing his watch.

"You're quite something, let's duel."

"Ah, the lament of the weak."

As they bantered on stage, Enterprise slowly walked over to Rei's side: "What a wonderful duel."

“But I still lost to Desu.” Rei said softly, “Enterprise, you’re really amazing, Desu.”

"Haha, that was a clever trick."

Honestly, if I hadn't used some tricks I had on the battlefield, the final outcome of this match might have been very different.

But still, we won... Phew, this competition was really fun.

It's been a long time since businesses have done this.

"So, the final winner is...the company!" Haitian smiled, stood up, and applauded, announcing the winner. "The awards ceremony will be held shortly!"

Chapter 617 Ren Shuo: Oh no, I've become the prize!

To be honest, even Ren Shuo was very curious about this mysterious grand prize.

This time, the prize was a completely confidential announcement, known only to a few secret agent ships.

After the game, the playing surface needed to be leveled a bit, and the little yellow chicks and the command cats worked hard on it.

The ship girls were discussing in small groups who was a pity, and what kind of performance someone had.

The most talked-about example is Binjiang, which was tricked by Akashi.

There were also many farces during the qualifiers.

"Belfast, you've been working with the secretary ships all this time, do you know what the final reward is?"

Ren Shuo asked Belfast in a low voice, and Belfast gave him an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, Master, this is a confidential matter..."

"Is that so?" Ren Shuo also expressed some regret.

However, besides feeling regretful, it was also a bit strange why the girls in his family were looking at him so oddly...

I'm talking about you, those secretary ships.

Thanks to the cutting-edge technology and the efforts of the fans, the originally bumpy competition venue was quickly repaired.

All participants, including those who failed to advance from the preliminary rounds, will receive a prize.

However, those contestants who failed in the preliminary rounds looked at the lollipop in their hands with a mixture of amusement and frustration...

The reward is a lollipop?

"Hmm, this lollipop needle doesn't prick..."

On the contrary, some of the little ones who came to play were having a great time eating.

Apart from Yuudachi, Yuudachi frowned as she looked at the lollipop in her hand. Hmm, she still wanted to eat meat more.

"Yudachi, aren't you going to eat? Then I'll eat it for you."

Saratoga, seeing Yuudachi's little expression, was also very happy and immediately opened her mouth to take the lollipop from Yuudachi's hand.

"rua!"

Yuudachi bared his teeth and unleashed a frenzied claw attack on Saratoga.

"Hey! What are you doing! Haha!" Saratoga was pinned to the ground by Yuudachi and started getting tickled.

"Honestly, how embarrassing," Little Akagi said disdainfully.

Ren Shuo looked at Maryland, who had returned to his side with a sigh, and then asked with a smile, "Was the lollipop delicious?"

"Commander, say that again!" Maryland glared at Ren Shuo with annoyance.

"Haha." Seeing that Maryland was getting more and more depressed, Ren Shuo stopped teasing her.

Next up were the girls who had made it to the elimination rounds. Binjiang held up a certificate with a sentence written on it.

Thank you for participating.

No, you might as well give me a lollipop. Who are you trying to annoy with those words?

Because Binjiang lost in a very frustrating way, he looked constipated at that moment.

Others just laughed it off, and some even took out their phones to take selfies and post them on their Hong Kong social media.

"Thank you for participating, that's great!"

Back at Brest, sitting next to him, Binjiang unsurprisingly received some teasing from his friend.

"Well, it's not bad, after all, there's still something left. Once the lollipop is gone, all that's left is the stick."

Binjiang could only console himself with this thought.

"Wow, who was it that said they were sure they could make it to the top four? Who was it?"

Plymouth covered her mouth, looking at Binjiang with surprise: "There seems to be quite a difference between the top four and the top sixteen."

"I've been tricked! Next time, I'll definitely aim for the championship!"

Brest quickly covered Binjiang's mouth, looking very nervous: "You can't say that! It's a flag. The last person who said that broke his sword."

Then Binjiang and Plymouth looked at Prince Rupprecht, who was eating a small cake.

"Why are you all looking at me?" The princess looked completely bewildered.

"That racing game competition you participated in last time, I think it was you? It was held four times a year, and you participated from the first to the twentieth edition before the game shut down and you still didn't win the championship..."

Binjiang muttered.

"That was an accident! An accident!" Prince Rupprecht exclaimed, his face flushed.

For a moment, the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"What did the top eight contestants receive? Cake vouchers from a Dunkirk shop? The free kind?"

Ren Shuo felt a little envious.

Hu De rolled his eyes at Ren Shuo, "It's like you have to pay to eat at a restaurant in Dunkirk..."
