"Don’t worry, Old Wang! Mike’s three aircraft carriers already clashed with our fleet once, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. As for their other ships of the same class, they’re just pushovers compared to our modified destroyers!" Long Zhan said confidently. "And wasn’t the Xi’an Base’s carrier fleet already crippled by Master’s supply ship? If I still can’t handle this, I might as well go find a block of tofu to smash my head into!"
"Given the combat power that modified supply ship has shown, that’s true. But what if they just dig in and defend? It’ll be very difficult for you to defeat them!" Ji Yizhi added.
"Then we’ll strike before they can dig in!" Long Zhan said with a slight smile. "We’ve already caught up to Mike and his fleet!"
"Okay, just be careful. Don’t let your guard down. Don’t forget Master is still on your ship!" Wang Jun reminded him.
"Don’t worry, I will absolutely protect Master!" Long Zhan replied before ending the call.
He immediately picked up his radio and said, "Captain Des, this is Long Zhan. We’ve caught up with the fleet led by Mike. Harass them from the flank. Strike if you get an opening, run if you don’t. And be safe!"
"Yes, sir!" Des responded in a deep voice.
Before Ren Yuanyang had left, he instructed Des to follow Long Zhan’s command after rendezvousing with his forces.
Des was well aware of his own position and saw nothing wrong with the arrangement.
Upon receiving Long Zhan’s order, he immediately began to approach Mike’s fleet from the flank.
"General, an unidentified vessel is approaching us. Based on its profile, it must be that supply ship from Peach Blossom Base. It’s incredibly fast!"
Upon receiving this report, Mike immediately ordered, "Defensive positions! The moment it enters our attack range, open fire!"
"Yes, sir!"
Des saw the enemy assume a defensive formation. As soon as he entered their attack range, he immediately began executing serpentine maneuvers on the water’s surface.
The enemy’s shells struggled to hit the nimble supply ship.
’It really is fast, and its turning speed is incredible!’
At that moment, they finally understood. It wasn’t that Bao Mu had been exaggerating; the enemy ship’s performance was truly exceptional.
’How could Peach Blossom Base possibly have such a powerful warship?’ Mike couldn’t wrap his head around it.
"You don’t think it could be Alien technology, do you?"
"It’s possible! Maybe the Aliens caused this flood, then randomly chose a proxy to gift with advanced technology. That would explain everything!"
"Exactly. Our Sea Eagle Country has always led the world in technology. How on earth could Peach Blossom Base develop Evolution Potions and those special crops faster than us?"
Hearing the opinions of his two captains, Mike frowned slightly. Although it sounded like something out of a fairy tale, he found he couldn’t refute their logic.
"Report! A destroyer from the Liaoyuan carrier fleet is closing in from our rear!"
"What? They actually dare to pursue us?" Mike was a little surprised.
"They’re just a defeated foe, nothing to be afraid of! I’ll dispatch three destroyers to take it down!" one of the captains said, completely unconcerned by Long Zhan’s pursuit.
"Alright. You go handle that. We’ll focus our attention on the supply ship at our flank," Mike nodded.
Soon, three destroyers broke away from the main fleet and headed toward Long Zhan.
Seeing that the enemy had sent only three destroyers, Long Zhan laughed. "They’re serving themselves up on a platter. Let’s get to work, everyone!"
"Yes, sir!"
The gunners had been practicing with blanks the whole trip and were itching to test the waters with live rounds.
"Accelerate! Dodge their shells!" Long Zhan commanded in a low voice, seeing the enemy had already started their attack.
"Aye, sir!" The helmsman immediately began to execute tactical evasive maneuvers!
The moment Long Zhan’s ship accelerated, the three opposing destroyers immediately noticed something was off.
"Fuck! Since when were the Liaoyuan carrier fleet’s destroyers this fast?"
"It feels like our guns can’t get a lock on them at all!"
"This destroyer is definitely different from the ones we’ve encountered before. It must have been temporarily transferred over from Dawn Base!"
"Shit, they’re starting to fire back! All hands, brace for evasive maneuvers!"
The cannons on Long Zhan’s ship roared, and the sound was much louder than they were used to!
Even the gunners firing the cannons were puzzled. ’These shells don’t seem like the ones we’ve used before, do they?’
In that single volley, Long Zhan’s ship fired eighteen shells. Two missed their mark, but the remaining sixteen all slammed into the three enemy destroyers!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Violent explosions erupted across the enemy warships. As Long Zhan and his crew watched, dumbfounded, the three opposing destroyers were instantly crippled!
The Sea Eagle Country soldiers aboard immediately began pleading for help from Mike’s fleet.
"Our hulls are heavily damaged! Requesting support! Requesting support!"
Hearing their pleas, Mike was completely stunned. He hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"We don’t know either, but the enemy destroyer suddenly became incredibly fast, almost like that supply ship!"
"What? How is that possible? When we fought them before, their destroyers weren’t anything special!" Mike’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"It might have just been transferred from Dawn Base. Its performance is probably on par with that supply ship!" the commander of the ambushed squadron speculated.
’Don’t tell me they have many more of these high-performance ships!’ Mike’s heart sank. Then, in a grim voice, he ordered, "Detach a squadron to go and take down that destroyer!"
One of the captains volunteered, leading his squadron to turn and engage Long Zhan’s destroyer.
Meanwhile, Long Zhan and his crew were still reeling from the power of their own cannons.
