Chapter Forty-Nine: The End of the Battle
The summer climate is unpredictable, and the clouds that had previously shrouded the sea of Zabulak have dissipated, and the turquoise waters are glowing with specks of light in the sun that is gradually revealing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And under this clear and vast sky, in the high altitude beyond the reach of ordinary people's eyesight, dozens of fine black dots are rapidly skimming the sea area under the fuselage, and moving quickly towards a specific direction.
"The deep sea bearing is locked...... Prepare for bombing. In the invisible spiritual network covering the sea of Brak, a young girl is accurately reporting on the mission she is performing.
"Isn't there any other deep sea in this area?" , As a girl's superior, a teenager who is still handling official business in the distant town guard mansion at the moment asked through the spiritual link.
"Nothing was found, and it seems that only the six people who broke into this place were the previous ones...... Admiral, do you want to continue cruising after that? Anne, who is an air support fleet, asked aloud about her future arrangements after the Admiral.
"For the time being, you will be responsible for the security of the waters around Brak, and then you will be in alternate shifts." The young man in the extreme distance glanced at the list of tasks listed on the electronic light screen, and said after a little estimate.
Although the girl has a lot of spirit thrown into the spiritual network, this does not affect her ability to control the carrier-based aircraft to carry out bombing missions from a distance.
In the past, she did her best against the deep-sea battleship, but she did not get decent results, but that was due to the powerful anti-aircraft firepower and energy barrier of that deep-sea battleship. Even finely controlled fighter-bombers can't do much damage.
But she is very sure of the task at the moment. In the process of intercepting the previous bombing, this deep-sea cruiser did not do much damage to the carrier-based aircraft she controlled, which also reflected the fact that its anti-aircraft firepower was not strong.
After arriving at the predetermined combat altitude, Anne began to adjust the formation of carrier-based aircraft, constantly widening the distance between the crews and regrouping them to prepare for bombing.
Boom boom! The sound of the bomb bursting echoed in the sea, and the invisible radiation shock wave also inflicted extremely serious damage on the deep sea not far away.
Under the bombs dropped by a total of three rounds of nine carrier-based aircraft, the deep sea, which was originally moving at high speed, has come to a standstill.
This is not because the deep sea is stunned because of the sudden changes in the outside world, but because of the results of one hit and two of the nine bombs just now, the deep sea has completely lost its ability to act.
And at this moment, this dying deep sea, those scarlet eyes contained primitive and crazy killing intent, and it turned the dark naval cannon behind it, as if it wanted to aim at the life that attacked it from nowhere.
But in the end, it failed to find the possible enemy, and finally slowly sank into the water.
Anne, who had observed this scene through the carrier-based aircraft, sighed slightly after slightly circling the carrier-based aircraft and waiting for a while. She did not observe the appearance of a radiant core at the deep-sea sinking site, so she was naturally a little disappointed. However, it is also relieved to think that the probability of the drop rate of the radiant core is not high, in this battle, a total of six deep seas were annihilated, but only one radiant core was dropped, which is quite high compared to the average level of one out of ten.
"Miss Anne? Has the deep sea been solved? Just as the girl was piloting the carrier-based plane to return home, another girl's inquiry came from the electronic communication device.
"Yes, its sinking has been confirmed...... I'm going to start taking over the task of patrolling the waters in Area A, and I'll leave Area B to Ms. Chiyoda. Anne replied earnestly, and withdrew some of her mental power back to the main body and adjusted and maintained the crew in the hangar.
In order to avoid an unknown deep-sea threat to the area, Aritus and Talia ordered the Air Support Fleet to carry out patrol missions until the threat was eliminated and Level 2 Readiness Directive was lifted.
"No problem, but Miss Anne is really good, and it feels really good to be able to fight together......," Chiyoda said with her eyes as she looked at the girl who was hundreds of meters away from her.
The number of aircraft carriers themselves is quite scarce, and Chiyoda and Anne are both training in the same class after changing ship types, and they are quite familiar with each other.
And this cooperation also makes the two feel quite comfortable. In the case of a two-person formation, the two of them do not need to limit their mental power too much to control the carrier-based aircraft to fight, which is completely different from the feeling that they need to constantly think about the mental power margin when they are alone in formation, and Chiyoda also said this feeling from the bottom of his heart.
"Sister Chiyoda is also very powerful...... But the anti-aircraft firepower of that deep-sea battleship was really unexpectedly strong......", at this moment, the girls in the air support fleet chatted casually while carrying out their mission, as if the fierce battle just now had never happened.

Little Cayman
It is the smallest and most primitive island in the Cayman Islands, but even here it is home to nearly 100 old humans. These are the local residents who have complained about and even resisted the rule of the Cayman Islands, and because of their original living habits, even the Georgetown Town Governor could not make them relocate to the safer island of Grand Cayman, and could only build a port and base here to help them develop a little or two.
It's not the first time Suzuya has seen the scene, as they visited it when they first tried out the escort mission with Mogador.
All they had seen before was sparsely built dwellings near the sea, and the somewhat old-fashioned harbor. However, in this more primitive island, it gives visitors a sense of tranquility and melodiousness, and the inhabitants who simply follow the old way of life use old-fashioned manpower to build their homes.
Suzuya also felt that in this scene of pure white sand beach and gray black islands and reefs, the port without the metal machinery is quite attractive.
But all this is gone, and all that is floating on this island is the shocking fire.
The relentless tongue of fire generated by the bombardment of the island by the deep-sea naval guns is raging on the island by relying on the endless sea breeze.
The turquoise waves of the sea swelled at the edge of the pure white sand, but they could not extinguish the fire between the reef and the trees. The blazing fire and the damp water vapor collided, but only the girls could feel it exactly.
If this scene is only like this, then several girls will only sigh at the destruction of nature by the deep sea, at most regret.
But the low wail of the sea breeze and the solidified black-red of the rocky beach let them know for sure that there are still innocent people who have died in the deep sea.
"Sister Suzuya...... They ......", even Mogador, who was the most energetic in the past, was in a trance after witnessing this scene.
There were also some regrets and gasps in the group of young girls, but the words of a young girl standing at the forefront did interrupt their discussion:
"We don't have the responsibility to help them, and we don't have the ability to help them." , The girl's words initially made several girls frown, but after they sensed the ship armor behind them, they tacitly accepted this statement.
If they only faced the deep sea, they would have done their best to destroy it, and it would not be a pity to pay the price of their lives. But they are not in any way able to help the devastation caused by the deep sea.
They can only use cold naval guns to dispel the shadow that threatens the safety of the sea, but they cannot protect the innocent people.
"The Admiral has ordered us to go to Cayman Brak, where Admiral Trix is still there, and there are people in the fleet stationed in Braque who need to be pulled back to the town guard mansion and into the canal." In the end, a girl with white hair and red eyes ended the heavy topic, and the ship's mother did not continue to linger here.
But this purgatory-like scene is deeply engraved in the hearts of the girls who witnessed this scene for the first time, and it is unforgettable for a long time.
…………
In Brac Harbor, Trix, who knew that the battle was over and led the inhabitants out of the mine, noticed a young girl resting in place and walked briskly.
Phoebe...... Your injuries ......", Trix naturally noticed that the girl had already disarmed the ship, and if she continued to maintain the ship's outfit in a broken state, it would bring more pressure to the radiant core, even Phoebe did not continue to force herself to liberate the ship.
"No problem, Mr. Admiral...... Although death and I really just passed by, I survived, oh ......", the girl's original corset was torn by the battle, and the fair skin that had been covered was also exposed, but the young people noticed several wounds on her body.
"Your decision was too reckless...... If friendly rescue does not arrive in time...... You ......", the young man looked at the girl's determined eyes towards him, and for a moment he could not continue.
"Mr. Admiral, I know the consequences of violating military discipline, and I will go to the confinement room myself." The girl looked at Trix, who seemed to want to say something, and reluctantly stood up, as if she didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Why don't you take care of my feelings...... Phoebe, I don't want that to happen again, I also hope that you can cherish your life, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of us, but is it really your intention to make a choice in vain with your life......", finally some of the young people who couldn't hold it back grabbed the girl a little recklessly, and asked a little loudly. Unexpectedly, the girl who was struggling to stand up couldn't continue to stand under his exertion, and fell in the direction where he was.
Naturally, Trix would not sit idly by and watch the girl who had lost most of her mobility fall, and he gently hugged the girl who was about to fall.
The gap between the unloaded ship girls and ordinary humans is not large, and at this moment, Phoebe's main engine is damaged, which makes Trix feel that he is touching a cold cloud of smoke.
Phoebe...... You okay? Because he noticed that the girl's state at the moment was really very bad, the anger that was originally stuck in her heart had all disappeared.
"Mr. Admiral...... If I were the only one who had died for this, you might have to bear the mental countercurrent of mine alone, but if we fail to stop the deep sea, the worst case scenario will be that this place will be completely taken over by the deep sea, and your life will not ......be saved," the girl whispered, leaning on the young man's arms.
"Even in a slightly better situation, at least three or four of us will die without a human being...... I'm afraid you can't withstand the mental countercurrent of the digital ship girl, right? Phoebe, who was like a gossamer, pulled the corner of the young man's coat and looked at him, as if trying to see something.
“…… Even so, I don't want you to leave like this......", Trix lowered his head, and the girl naturally noticed the look of frustration on his face.
"Ah, Admiral! They're back! You can take Phoebe's sister back~", just as the atmosphere between the two fell silent for a while, the voice of a girl in the distance made both of them raise their heads and look at the several girls who were slowly driving in outside Brak Harbor.
As the mentor responsible for training and training reserve admirals, Trix naturally knew these ship girls, and he already knew through the link and reward with the mountain city that it was these girls who successfully annihilated the deep sea that suddenly attacked Braque.
"Mr. Admiral, I really want to reward them, thank you very much......", the girl said and fell asleep a little tired.
Trix naturally knew that the girl was originally suffering a heavy blow to her core, coupled with the mental exhaustion caused by the battle, and she was completely relaxed at the moment and naturally fell into a state of self-rest.
"Even if you don't talk about it...... I'm going to try to apply for some rewards as much as I can...... However, with this combat experience, this internship assessment can actually be regarded as completed......", the young man thought in his heart as he looked at the few girls who were gathering their ship's outfits and walking towards him not far away.
It can be said that most of the emergencies this time were solved by these shipwives, except for the deep-sea cruiser that was sunk by Phoebe's torpedo, the rest of the deep-sea seemed to have all died under the blow of their fleet. Just for sinking two second-level deep seas and three third-level deep seas, they would already be rewarded by the higher-level town guards, not to mention the great help that such qualifications would bring to the graduation assessment they would have to undergo later.
Perhaps, it is also possible to give yourself an excellent evaluation......
As the young man thought this, he couldn't help but sigh at the scattered building materials scattered around. Although Braque was well prepared for the first discovery of a deep-sea attack, most of the buildings left behind in the harbor were inevitably damaged by the deep-sea shelling.
"It's been a long time since there has been such a need for reconstruction tasks and casualty handling tasks, ah......", Trix gently picked up Phoebe, who had fallen asleep, and Wen Yue, who was standing in front of him at the moment, waved at him:
"Admiral, Admiral~We're here to send Sister Phoebe back~", the young man could naturally notice that Wen Yue was not injured, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It's just that having a ship girl who can annihilate the deep sea is not enough to build a regular town guard. Whether it is resource scheduling, combat task allocation, or the construction and improvement of the town guard mansion, these are all heavy tasks on the commanders.
But young people don't find these things boring. Whenever he saw the girls under his command set sail, the unwillingness in his heart naturally turned into the motivation to continue to deal with official duties, and he wanted to help them in all his ability, even if it was only to bring the slightest advantage or improvement......
