The mass-produced Oracles multiplied fast like weeds growing in the spring breeze. The elite-level Oracles were different. They were not able to proliferate rapidly, and their efficiency of resurrection after the war was not high.

However, at the cost of that, the elite-level Oracles had outstanding combat skills.

The elite-level Oracles of the destroyer level were called “pupils.” However, they could walk through the battlefield with amazing speed and agility, even though the battlefield was filled with flying bullets. At the crucial moments, they could escape their enemies’ attacks and seize the opportunity to attack the enemies at the same time. Compared to the torpedoes of the mass-produced Oracles of the destroyer level, their torpedoes had amazing attack range and power. As long as the enemies were locked onto in advance, their torpedoes could even change directions mid-flight to chase the enemies. Strictly speaking, their torpedoes were missiles.

As long as the Fear Messengers were attacked by a torpedo, they would hardly maintain their combat abilities. If they were unlucky to be hit without defending or if they were hit by several torpedoes at once, they would definitely die on the spot.

Although the “pupils” could only fire four to six torpedoes at a time, they never lost their targets. In other words, each round of their attacks could defeat at least two or three Fear Messengers.

If they were in a modern war where tens of thousands of bullets could kill only one enemy on average, with their killing efficiency, they would simply become Valkyries or cruel angels who brought death. If they were sent to the earthen war zones where slaughter happened without good combat skills, only a few of them would be needed to protect a city.

However, among the elite-level Oracles, the “pupils” were actually weak.

The cruiser level was one level higher than the destroyer level. There were several kinds of Oracles of the cruiser level, and their specialties were different. Some had fast speed, so they could always make use of every single opportunity to fire a torpedo; then they would flee like foxes. Some were damage “monsters.” Even if they had no cannons, they would take only a little time to prepare and then release 40 torpedoes at one time. Some were support experts whose strength lay in defense rather than offense. They could provide effective buffs to their surrounding comrades. Some were cannon maniacs. They were equipped with large-scale warship weapons, even though they had small body sizes. Their firepower was nearly the same as that of the capital warships.

Those Oracles had different fighting styles, but they had similarities. Each of them had excellent combat abilities and could play a significant role in the war overall.

However, in the overall situation, the leading roles were still the Oracles at the capital warship level.

These girls, without exception, were equipped with extremely luxurious, large-scale warship weapons, so they had to spend a little time on unfolding the weapons and establish temporary bombardment bases before the attacks.

It was a bit troublesome, but it was totally worth it. Once their weapons were fully unfolded, they could launch massive bombardment attacks. For example, the first elite-level Oracles at the capital warship level created by Sui Xiong was a girl with strange, taupe hair shaped like cat ears. She had four sets of two-shot main cannons, so she needed about ten seconds to unfold her weapons. However, after the unfolding process, one round of her bombardment could cover at least hundreds of square meters. In the close range around her bombardment base, those Fear Messengers couldn’t survive at all. There wouldn’t even be a trace of them left.

The elite-level Oracles at the capital warship level were difficult to produce. Until now, Sui Xiong could only produce six girls. They were just enough to form a team like the formation in the game. At this moment, the six girls distanced themselves from each other and unfolded their bombardment bases. With loud bangs, their shots were strongly bombarding the places where the enemies were the most in number and where the formations were the most clumped.

Seeing that they were powerful, Sui Xiong was relieved. He couldn’t help but think, Alas! When I was playing the game, it would be great if I had such powerful and intelligent characters!

“What are you worried about?” a voice rang around him; it was the voice of the first elite-level Oracle created by him.

“Nothing,” Sui Xiong answered, smiling. Then, he asked the girl in black and white, “You are standing here. Isn’t this too far from the battlefield?”

“No. After all, I don’t need to go to the front lines in person,” the girl said, smiling. The blue butterfly hair accessory next to the right side of her hat was shining. “Look, those aircraft carriers will do their job and bring an unforgettable sea breeze to the enemies. I only need to direct them at the rear, and that is enough to complete the battle,” she said with confidence. “As the flagship and the most advanced aircraft carrier of your majesty, in the most intense battles, I can still maintain my grace and elegance.”

Sui Xiong wanted to say something, but he kept silent after thinking for a while.

He didn’t want to attack the enthusiasm of his subordinates. As for the flagship issue… His eyes swept over the six Oracles at the capital warship level, and then he thought for a while. At least now it seemed that no one would fight against her for the flagship seat.

Anyway, among his Oracles, she was the eldest one. Seniority was an advantage. Some evil enterprises bragged about enterprise culture, but they actually cheated their employees. Except for them, in every long-established formal enterprise, the seniors from the start-up period had a special status.

The Oracles created by Sui Xiong were soldiers in terms of his design ideas. Soldiers paid much attention to seniority, and that aircraft carrier was the main force. If an army cook had enough seniority, he would still win the respect of the people.

Maybe, in the future, new warships and the senior aircraft carrier will compete for the flagship seat, and they might even fight. However, the future was in the future.
