Chapter 33: Tyrell Islands Raiders I
In the hall, which was originally used as an office space, but is now being used as a conference room, the laughter of the girls whispering makes it full of a faint warmth, and of course, the sound of sipping juice and chewing biscuits also adds a little bit of a different atmosphere.

The floor-to-ceiling windows not far away completely cut this place from the terrible situation of the cold wind outside, and isolated the howling cold wind.
Of course, not all the girls here are so active, and on the sofa seat on the left, the three girls sitting upright are all silently doing something.
In the center, a girl in a black and white dress and a pure black bowler hat holds a miniature light screen in her hands, and reads something at some astonishing speed. Even if I occasionally comprehend or think, I think quietly and silently alone.
The dazzling blonde girl seated to her right did something similar, occasionally making eye contact or talking in a psychic network without making much noise.
What did not join the ranks was the only girl here who was pretending to be a liberation ship with her eyes closed and pondering. She seemed to be out of the world, in a state of distraction, but the most surprising thing was that none of the girls around her disturbed her.
As for the few girls crowded on the bench sofa, they were whispering and laughing, but they maintained a certain limit and did not disturb the others. Stacked in front of the table, the empty utensils and gift boxes contained only a few traces of food, and there was no intact remaining.
The only young man in the hall was still sitting in his old place, quietly reading the news beating from the light screen.
Maybe a moment, or a few minutes later, the young man slowly raised his head and turned his gaze to the closed door.
There was a slight knock on the door, and the door was pushed open, and a cold breeze rushed into the hall along the narrow gap. Although everyone sitting here was not afraid of such a temperature change, the girl who pushed the door closed it very consciously.
"Hmm...... I seem to be late to come back......" Seeing the gift box placed on the table, the girl who unconsciously reached out to explore it was empty, and said this to hide her embarrassment.
"Suzuya, how is the situation in the outer mine protection zone?" Veneto, who was already aware of his assigned task, asked softly after noticing Suzuya's return.
"Don't worry~ Shi Jinfeng and I have checked it three times!" When asked about the task he had taken over, Suzuya said with confidence. Knowing that he was a very reliable companion, Veneto nodded slightly and didn't ask again.
"Well, it's completely empty...... Apparently I went with Des Moines to pick it up in the first place! Suzuya, who rummaged through the gift box but didn't find any food, pulled Shi Jinfeng beside him and began to complain.
"Sister Suzuya, although I understand you very well...... But I didn't go on a mission either? Shi Jinfeng, who was also assigned a task and missed these things, sighed helplessly.
"If you don't mind, I still have some yo ...... here" Perhaps seeing the frustrated expressions of the two of them, Zhaoyue took out some snacks from his subspace and divided them among the two.
Immediately, Suzuya and Tokitsu also crowded on the bench sofa, and they solved all the snacks in a whisper.
The young man, who noticed the moment displayed on the light screen, cast his gaze at Veneto and asked:
"So there's no other task for today, right?"
"Yes, all other unrelated tasks that were originally intended for today have been postponed to facilitate the execution of this battle plan." The girl who knew that the meeting was about to start was so answered.
"Annie? What are the results of long-range aerial reconnaissance? The young man, who had already made a decision, asked the girl who had been closing his eyes all along.
The sea area discussed at today's meeting was originally under the jurisdiction of the North Island Town Guard. However, after more than a year of deep-sea counterattacks caused the fall of the Zhenshou Mansion, that sea area was also invaded by the deep sea and lost its normal control. That's why Alitus, who didn't have a detailed chart, asked Anne to scout ahead of time in order to make a suitable plan.
"The third round of patrol reconnaissance is now underway, and it is expected to be completed in 15 minutes." The girl with her long, pale yellow flaxen-colored hair opened her eyes slightly, and explained this fact in a gentle tone.
Originally, she was the only one in the hall who had been carrying out her own task, but only she could do this task, and she had no complaints when she had to shoulder the task.
"Understood, please transfer the rough drawing first." After nodding at her, Alytes received the image she had drawn in her memory through the psychic network, and drew it very quickly on the electronic light screen.
Originally, it was drawn by relying on the continuous patrol and reconnaissance of the ship's mothers in the nautical chart under the jurisdiction of the town guard, which was deliberately enlarged and marked by the teenagers, and the girls sitting below were also a few who held their breath and carefully observed the area they were about to go to.
"I have sketched out the detailed charts, and the area here has been labeled the Tyrell Islands in previous literature." Aritus borrowed the projection equipment in the office and showed it clearly in the eyes of the ship's mother.
"It is this more dangerous area that we are carrying out the defeat mission this time, and it is estimated that there are about seven to ten deep sea birds here, and the energy level is not low." The words spoken by Veneto surprised the girls slightly, and then there was a noisy fluctuation of thoughts in the mental network.
Of course, Veneto, Anne, and De Moines, who had already known this information in advance, all kept their faces unchanged, silently waiting for the others to adjust to the news.
"Compared to the sea areas we have conquered in the past, this area is indeed a bit dangerous, but relatively speaking, we can deploy more personnel than before, as long as the battle plan is successfully executed, we can successfully attack this place." Arietes, noticing the worried look on the girls' expressions, said so loudly.
"Veneto, you are still the flagship this time, please contact me and Anne more to keep abreast of intelligence changes." Aritas waited until it was calm before he began to assign personnel.
Due to the lack of air defense forces in the area of this battle, Aritus did not decide to involve Anne in the direct operation due to attrition and continued fighting. Instead, it was asked to carry out a large-scale reconnaissance to determine the specific situation.
"De Moines, Suzuya, Mogador, Betty, and Lan, you and Veneto will form this fleet and attack the waters here." As the young man continued to announce, the few girls who had just arrived here were a little stunned while relaxing.
Although they also want to participate in such battles, the difference in strength and experience between them and their predecessors in reality makes them know that they should continue training at this moment. In their current state, they can't become a combat force to be relied on, and even escort missions need to be carried out smoothly with their predecessors.
"Of course, the rest are not without nothing to do." His gaze swept over the gloomy young girls, and Arritheus continued earnestly.
"Admiral?" Shi Jinfeng, who was the first of the newcomers to come to the town guard mansion, was a little incomprehensible, and raised his head to look at the young man.
"Guarding and ensuring the safety of the main island is also a very important job." The young man spoke solemnly, but it made a little warmth rise in the hearts of several girls.
They knew the current situation in the town guard's mansion. The North Island Town Guard, which has enough manpower to clean the waters around the town guard mansion, is extremely safe in itself, and with the outer mine defense belt, they don't need to spend much energy to be on guard.
"Admiral, don't worry!" Shi Jinfeng and several other girls responded to the Admiral's concern very seriously.
"I have sent the specific enemy information to several people through the spiritual network, please make pre-battle preparations first, and plan to attack at the port in ten minutes." After talking to the girls a little more, Aritheus also explained the situation clearly, and after knowing that it would not be of much use to continue, he announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Although the specifics of the mission were already known, Veneto, as a secretary ship, knew more about it in detail, and there was some speculation about the reason for the battle.
Veneto knew that over the years, due to the addition of new companions, his daily consumption had gradually increased, and it was difficult for him to become an important escort force before his combat strength was formed. Therefore, the speed of obtaining gold and materials cannot be improved, and if you can gain a little radiation core in this battle, you can make up for it.
Another reason is that at the end of the month, the mission indicators assigned by the Federation are still somewhat lacking, and this time the long-delayed deep strategy mission is also picked up with this reason in mind.
Defeating the deep sea for possible rewards is the truest reason for this decision.
Of course, Alitus had other thoughts of his own.
The location of the Tyrell Islands is northeast of the North Island Town. Due to the remoteness of the location and the frequent sightings of the deep sea, routes departing from the Coral Reef Town Warden will not pass through this location, but choose to detour.
Arrites found out from previous documents that the North Island Warden was originally established as a link between the Coral Reef Warden and a medium-sized Warden in the north, and that ships originally had a shipping route here, but it was only after the sea area got out of control a few years ago that it gradually changed its course and deviated from it.
The cost of berthing ships to and from is also a significant benefit, and Arites does not ignore it. Not to mention that after the obstacles on the route are cleared, the escort tasks that the North Island Town Guard may receive will naturally increase.
The six men who had been selected to be the sortie fleet left the office first, while Garibaldi, Tokitsukaze, and Terutsuki left along to clear a safe passage for them, leaving only Anne, who was in charge of gathering information, and Aritus, who was constantly improving the plan.
"I'm sorry I didn't get you out this time." Looking at Anne, who was still dealing with the reconnaissance work, the boy felt a hint of apology in his heart. As an aircraft carrier, Anne has a powerful attack effect, but this mission is not suitable for her to carry out, and Aritus made this decision after thinking about it.
"It's also very rewarding to be able to support them in the rear." Feeling the emotion coming from the boy, Anne replied softly.
"Everyone has their own tasks, so please keep up the good work!" The words from Anne lifted his spirits, knowing that assigning the right plan would take a lot of the stress out of the battle.
