Fairy Tail: Start Awakening Devouring Magic

Wei An didn't know that someone on the other side had a rough idea of his strength.

He had now brought his fleet to a location 30 nautical miles away from Island No. 5, and was gradually slowing down their speed and moving forward slowly.

"Commander, what should we do next?"

"Find out how many admirals there are here and which joint department they belong to."

However, even though Wei'an was closer to the edge of the sea, Lexington's radar showed that four warships were sailing steadily.

If it weren't for the fact that the assessment hadn't started yet, Wei'an would have given them a surprise in the middle of the night.

"The assessment will last for 10 days. We don't need to rush on the first day. We can just collect some tolls between islands 5 and 7."

After all, this assessment is a live-fire battle, and the consumption of resources is real.

Although he made some money and bought some aluminum in the last bit of time of the assessment, it is only enough for Lexington and Saratoga to destroy 1,000 A-1s or 1,400 Gale aircraft.

Distributed over ten days, an average of no more than 100 aircraft can be consumed every day.

Otherwise, the two aircraft carriers will be coffins on the sea.

So on the first day when the conflict may be the most serious, Wei'an decided to play it safe.

In addition to the air superiority, he also has other advantages, especially Shimakaze, who did not perform well last time. Before setting off this time, she kept pestering him to show her ability.

And their consumption of ammunition is less than that of Lexington.

The best time for them to attack is not during the day, but at night.

The first day is also the best time for them to reconnaissance.

"receive"

"That's it. I'll take a rest first. Call me at 5 a.m. tomorrow. If there are any approaching warships, shrink the formation and keep your eyes closed until the assessment starts at 6 a.m."

"You and Jiajia will take turns to guard for half the night. Clemenceau is resting now, and so are Xuefeng and the others."

""Okay, Commander."

This is also a possible weakness of the ship girls. They also need to rest and cannot fight fiercely for a long time. However, most of the time, their rest time is the same as entering the channel, which is not a big deal.

Like Wei'an, most admirals woke up one after another when the assessment was approaching the last one or two hours, and began to move away from the island with their ship girls.

Only some admirals who felt that they were more powerful continued to guard the island.

Before five o'clock, Wei'an was awakened by his own ship girl.

The number of warships displayed on the radar also became 8, and it can be seen that there are 3 fleets.

The fleet closest to them is only 18 nautical miles away.

"Commander, do you want to continue the transfer?"

"How long until the test starts?"

"One hour and eight minutes."

Lexington answered, and Vian looked at the whitening coastline. The sky was gradually brightening.

"We can start reconnaissance now. All 30 fighters, all sea areas within 50 nautical miles of us."

Because it is an assessment, the ratio of Lexington's carrier-based aircraft this time is also pulled to 30 fighters, and the remaining 190 are all bombers. Anyway,

Lexington can regenerate 15 fighters every ten minutes, so we just need to give priority to replenishing fighters.

"Let them rest for a while, today won't be so easy."

After giving the order, Wei An did not forget to care about his girls.

Taking advantage of the deck wind, she released her gale, and at the same time, she began to report the situation of the sea area to Wei An.

【J-Union hopes you won't let me down. 】

The sun was hanging high in the sky, and the ship girl referees in the sea area sent them a message that the assessment had begun. At the same time, the carrier-based aircraft of those ship girls were hovering behind the warships where each admiral was.

Even the ship girl in charge of the aircraft carrier, Wei An, was unexpected.

It was one of the legendary ship girls of the U-Union, Yorktown. Yorktown, if nothing goes wrong, they are referees, and if something goes wrong, they can also go to battle in time.

But now it's not only Wei An who is shocked, but also Yorktown.

She was notified overnight by the flagships of various unions to come and take charge of some admirals in this sea area.

Among them, the focus is on this admiral with a unique aircraft carrier.

But when she really arrived, she knew what uniqueness meant, the flight deck and hull were completely different from their aircraft carriers.

And the number and quality of carrier-based aircraft that took off quickly on her two decks surprised her.

In order not to expose her goal, Wei An even asked Yorktown to land the carrier-based aircraft directly on the deck of Lexington to follow them.

At the same time, she conveyed the news that the flagships of various unions were concerned about.

"Already reached the vicinity of this admiral"

"This... is a really beautiful aircraft carrier. There are already 30 carrier-based aircraft taking off. Its strength is also very good."

"Thirty? Are you sure? Thirty takeoffs from a newly materialized aircraft carrier?"

The first to ask was Nagato, who frowned.

"Yes, and her fighter looks better than mine. It flies so fast."

"Did you see any other aircraft carriers around him?"

"No, there is only one aircraft carrier. However, their formation is a bit strange. It is not a battleship-centered formation, but an aircraft carrier. The other gunboats are guarding the aircraft carrier in the center from a distance."

"It seems that she is an admiral who focuses on aircraft carriers. How strange."

Just like Saratoga prefers to seize air superiority and engage in air superiority battles with enemy aircraft carriers.

So she is also a legendary aircraft carrier who is willing to be a supporting role, and a ship girl who advocates mainstream aircraft carrier ideas.

"It seems that it is confirmed that with 30 carrier-based aircraft launched, plus Saratoga can launch more than 70 aircraft, this time the air supremacy assessment will definitely be all this guy's"

"Even if this aircraft carrier has few bombers, as long as Saratoga can bomb and attack safely, then the other admirals will be beaten."

""Hood, you guys are really ruthless. You think the opposite way and support an admiral who plays with aircraft carriers."

Washington praised Hood.

Hood's mind was full of questions after hearing Washington's praise. What does Wei'an playing with aircraft carriers have to do with their E-United Department? It's obviously Wei'an who likes aircraft carriers.

But Hood, who didn't want to expose Wei'an's strength, could only smile and accept her praise.

"So Saratoga, is she also here with this admiral?"

Yorktown heard what they said and finally understood why Washington was so concerned about this admiral.

After Saratoga left, she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she didn't reply to her letters. She thought Saratoga had sunk outside.

It also made her sad for a long time, after all, she could still find the shadow of her Lexington predecessor in Saratoga.

(The Yorktown-class aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier designed based on the experience of the Lexington-class aircraft carrier.)
