In the cafeteria, which has not been renovated and looks old, the teenagers and girls seated opposite each other in the cubicles are quietly doing their own things. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The boy was holding a notebook, his blue pupils quickly searching for something in the words and data flowing through the light screen.

The girl sitting on the other side was enjoying Shang Wen's delicious coffee, and from time to time turned her eyes to the young man in front of her.

"Admiral, the coffee is cold." Perhaps the boy was so focused on the electronic data that the coffee in front of him was cold early.

"Well, the cold coffee tastes really bad, ......", adhering to the idea of saving, the boy still picked up the coffee in front of him after coming back to his senses, and drank it in one gulp after commenting on its poor taste.

"The Admiral can rest when he can rest, so why should he care about the official affairs over there?" Seeing that the boy seemed to have a tendency to indulge in another world, the girl couldn't help but ask out loud.

The teenager who heard this question seemed to be stunned.

When did you get used to this kind of life? Devote yourself wholeheartedly to study, practice, and official duties, and do not allow yourself to have the leisure to think about inconsequential matters.

"Maybe I don't have anything else to do." The boy gave such an answer after a moment of contemplation.

"Admiral, even work requires a moderate ......rest," the white-haired and red-eyed girl finally said with some concern. She always felt that the Admiral, as an Admiral, seemed to be a little too involved in these things, even to the point of being too forgetful.

However, she couldn't say much, and compared to many admirals who caused tragedies due to inexperienced command mistakes, she still preferred her admiral to be a more capable and decisive person.

Although she can rationally understand the reason why the Admiral did this, the girl is a little lonely in her heart.

When Aritaus heard Veneto's inquiries and concerns, he suddenly realized that his life was indeed a bit boring. Studying and training in the academy, everything is prepared to become a qualified admiral, a life he doesn't hate or dislike.

After his first exposure to the world's network, the quiet life gave him plenty of time to play and learn what he was interested in, but now he can't have that kind of freedom.

Thinking back to this, the young man put down the electronic notebook in his hand, lowered his head and seemed to think about something.

Do you need some rest and relaxation? He kept asking himself this question in his mind.

Long hours of work and repetition of the same kind of work can make anyone feel tired and impatient, and even teenagers may not be able to overcome it.

But the fragments of memories that flashed through his mind made it impossible for him to make this decision easily.

He still remembered the forgotten castle that stood in the boundless sea, full of ruins and dust; He never forgot the gentle and chic smile of the girl before leaving, but it was sad and helpless; And the home where he has lived for more than ten years is deeply engraved in his mind.

He won't give up easily...... At least until he can achieve his goal, he will definitely continue to persevere, and even a teenager has no guess how far this thorny road will be.

The complicated thoughts made the boy frown and sigh, and the changes on the boy's face were all seen by Veneto.

She could naturally feel something hidden in the young man's heart, but she couldn't do it because she couldn't ask him. Even though she was the one in the fleet who had followed the boy the longest, there were many things she didn't know.

The bad memories made the boy's mood a little low, and Veneto could only silently turn the spoon because it was inconvenient to speak, making a crisp crashing sound.

"Sorry, a bit of a gaffe." After a period of silence, the young man seemed to adjust his mentality, and all the expressions on his face were retracted, and he whispered to Veneto.

"The Admiral doesn't need to be ...... like this", the girl originally wanted to say something, but found that the Admiral seemed to be deliberately concealing and obscuring some things about her past, but she couldn't continue to speak.

Just as Veneto was thinking about how to exhort his admiral to let go of some of his thoughts, Mogador's hurried thoughts suddenly came from the mental network:

"Mr. Commander! Something's wrong! The girl who was full of vitality in the past was extraordinarily serious about conveying the news this time.

"Don't be nervous, what's going on?" , the young man who had recovered from his low mood asked unhurriedly.

The girl, who was still in the distance and was communicating through the spiritual link, seemed to pause for a moment before speaking:

"That...... Sister Yamashiro just came to us and said that she had something very important to inform us of, and asked Mr. Commander to go to the office and wait. ”

Mogador's words were clearly known to the boy, but it made him more and more confused.

According to the previously arranged itinerary, both the mountain city and Mogador should be on a mission outside the port at this moment. And relying on the spiritual connection with Mogador, he could be sure that she was speeding towards the prescribe position of the town guard.

"Maybe something happened." , Veneto, who was sitting on the side, obviously knew the news and said softly.

"Let's go first, anyway." The boy stood up and left the cafeteria with Veneto.

"Mogador, who else is with you besides the mountain city?" Walking through the corridors of the town guard's mansion, the boy asked Mogador with a spiritual link.

"Huh...... There's also Yayoi and Cong Yun, but it's really a little weird, obviously everyone still has a task ......", even the girls who don't pay much attention to these on weekdays noticed that something was wrong.

The young man knew in his heart that Yamashiro didn't seem to be just trying to explain something to himself, and Talia, who was still in the town guard mansion at this time, probably also received the news.

But with such a stirring of teachers, just from this preparatory action boy has already felt that something unusual has happened.

"Is it a problem with the deep sea...... But Mr. Sweet had already gone with his fleet to the nearby small town guard to besiege and kill ......," the boy muttered uncertainly.

Just as the boy was a little distracted, the familiar sight made him notice that he had arrived at the office.

Gently pushing open the half-hidden door, the boy naturally returned to his place. The girl with black hair was concentrating on the tasks on the light screen, and for a moment did not ask why Aritus and Veneto had returned.

As another Academy student followed Mr. Admiral Sweet to deal with the sudden appearance of the Deep Sea Fleet, Trix, Aritus, and Thalia were the only ones stationed in the town guard's mansion at the moment.

Although such a lineup is much higher than the previous one, it is not a problem to deal with the sudden lineup.

After the vast majority of the shipwives who were still on duty in the town guard mansion returned to the office and waited, the mountain city standing in the center looked around before solemnly saying to the two people in the seats:

"Miss Talia, Mr. Aritus, please carry out the order of the second level of combat readiness immediately."

Even the mountain castle, which usually has the style of Yamato Nadeshiko, is full of solemn expressions at this moment. She repeated the words to the two of them word by word.

"Miss Yamashiro, second-level combat readiness means ......", after hearing what Yamashiro said, not only the few ship girls who were doing it, but even Arrits and Talia also showed a more solemn expression.

Orders can only be carried out when the Admirals of the Castle Mansion are aware that the enemy's deep sea is present in their own waters and that there is a high probability that they will pose a serious threat to the territory where the Castle Governors are located.

For ordinary people, the order means suspending all ordinary shipping routes, closing the entire port and adjusting the energy supply within the territory.

"That's right, it's true that there is a formation of deep-sea fleets that have broken into our waters......," Yamashiro closed his eyes and hesitated for a moment before revealing this fact.

"Bearings, numbers, and energy levels?" After hearing the word "Cheng Zhi", the young man's expression became more and more serious, and he asked out loud.

"From Braque's initial encounter, it can be determined that it is about five or six, and the energy level is between two or three levels." , Yamashiro, who served as the flagship of Trix's fleet, told the information he knew from Trix without missing a word.

"No, where is Mr. Trix now?" , The boy came back to his senses after learning the news just now, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Due to the failure of the excavation equipment in Cayman Brac, Mr. Trix and Mr. Bingham went to deal with the ......," Talia, who was still on official business just now, accurately reported the position of Trix at the moment.

"The deep sea is still on Brack's side, how long can they hold out?" , The young man naturally knew the specific news of the first battle situation from some of the information he had just sent, and asked softly.

"The Admiral's words...... Today was originally Tama , Mochizuki and Chao three people on duty over there, and soon the governor left to take Phoebe and Fumitsuki with them, and there were still five of them. A gray-haired and black-eyed girl standing behind Yamashiro answered this question softly.

"Phoebe and Tide entered a state of mid-break during the battle, and there doesn't seem to be a store of repair fluid over there." , Yamashiro lowered his head slightly, and everyone else here could know what she meant. After being injured, the original combat power of the ship mother will be reduced, and if you fight against a strong opponent again, it is very easy to fall into a worse state and enter a vicious circle.

"Mines should be able to hinder an enemy attack...... But it's better to go to the rescue quickly. Talia had already prepared an electronic transcript during the conversation and had already entered it with her electronic ID card.

"It's not too late...... As long as we don't drag ourselves into dangerous night battles, then it is quite beneficial for us. The teenager who knew that the situation was urgent did not hesitate to enter his identity information into it.

"The Admiral has given me the authority to sign the agreement temporarily, but the next battle will depend on the two of you." , Yamashiro added another document, and only said after confirming that it was correct.

"You haven't received heavy damage either, so why can't you participate in the battle without going into the ditch to repair it?" After the young man seriously carried out the order to deploy the second level of combat readiness, he seemed to be a little unable to understand what she had just said.

"Admiral, have you forgotten that the only thing left in Cayman is the capital ship ...... Cunths," said Veneto, who was standing behind the young man, while assisting in his official duties.

"Yes, Fumitsuki and the others are all on the Brak, and Natori and Z3 are still on an ocean-going escort mission...... Even if I have strong firepower, I can't fight to support ......", Yamashiro lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he spit out such words word by word. And the several ship girls standing behind her didn't seem to look good, but they had to do it.

Knowing that his admiral was in danger, it was not because he was afraid of the inability and experience of combat, but because of this, he had to rely on the help of others. Such a fact was difficult for them to accept, but they did not dare to risk the lack of frigates to rescue their admirals.

It's not that they don't know the problems caused by the departure of capital ships, but it is precisely because of this that they have to bow to reality.

"But the defense of the main island can be completely handled by us, and the two of you can do their best to draw members to form a formation." In extreme reluctance, Yamashiro was still very rational to find something to do for himself and his companions behind him, which could be regarded as finding the bottom of the stairs.

"Then the defense will be hard for you." Talia stood up and projected the collated sea area and information map into the air in the office.

In addition to the mountain castle, the other ship girls and others under the command of Trix also left this place with great interest, and they naturally didn't want to waste time here because they couldn't fight in formation.

"Brac is about 150 kilometers away...... If the fleet is moving at the highest speed, it will take nearly three hours ......," the boy said, looking at the map of the sea area that was displayed, and after a little estimate.

"The crux of the matter is whether they can survive this time, and the arrangement of troops is also a troublesome matter." , the boy standing under the map of the sea area, frowned and said such a fact.

He can indeed make all 7 of his fleet sail, but this combination is not suitable for giving full play to the strength of the ships in the fleet, according to the experience he gained from the previous training in the academy, it is more effective to divide it into two parts for coordinated operations.

The boy's gaze met that of Thalia, who was also looking at a map of the sea, and both could see the expected wings in the other's eyes.

"What if...... What would it be like to unite our fleets in a coordinated operation? ", the most important teenager asked the girl with black-rimmed glasses beside him.

"Impossible! The two of them will not be able to communicate with each other, and there will be no sense of cooperation before the disruption ......", Yamashiro, who heard the young man's speech, seemed to be a little eager to admonish.

Of course, she knew that combining the fleet of two people together would make a more appropriate arrangement and response, but this was difficult to achieve under the pressure of reality.

"What do you think?" To the surprise of Yamashiri, the girl, who seemed to be quite close to her admiral and should know a lot of common sense, seemed to agree with this opinion and asked further questions.

"It is only necessary to form a mixed formation of aviation strikes...... Otherwise, neither of our aircraft carriers will be able to give full play to their own strength. The boy wasn't joking, he confirmed that he had really considered how the two would work together.

"That's true, then the rest of the formations are still arranged according to their previous habits." , the girl seems to have finalized this opinion.

The boy and girl began to formulate the battle plan under the surprised gazes of dozens of ship girls around them, and even Aritus, who had a close relationship with his several ship girls, heard the discussion of ideas coming from the spiritual network.

"Admiral? Even if only such a preliminary mixed formation was carried out...... It will also have an impact on the command...... At a very long distance, only I, who is carrying out the flagship renovation, can communicate with the admiral, and the two sides cannot know each other's battle situation so quickly, so you can't command a mixed formation like this...... It is too difficult to communicate the opinions of both sides. Even Veneto made his own suggestion to the teenager at this moment.

"Logically speaking, it is...... But that's no ordinary person. The boy looked at Talia as if he had pointed something.

"......", the white-haired and red-eyed girl seemed to be silent for a moment before continuing to ask

"Did the Admiral say that she was a member of the 'Unhandicap' Society, so does she also have her own special spiritual powers?" At this moment, she also knew why the Admiral did not communicate these things in the spiritual network, because she was the only one who knew the secret of the Admiral.

Thinking of this, the girl inexplicably had a hint of joy, but was quickly replaced by the voice of the young man next:

"That's true, she has the ability to make a spiritual connection with humans, and if I also have a spiritual connection with her, it means that even in a contact battle, I can immediately know what is happening to the opposing fleet, so I decided to let the air formation formed by Anne and Chiyoda support and strike behind you." Just now, he had communicated with Talia and preliminarily determined the tactics to be used, and only then did he slowly say to Veneto.
