Chapter 44: The Expedition

After the town guard announced to the people through various channels that it had entered the second level of combat readiness, the port of Georgetown, which used to be quite lively, seemed to be much deserted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The vendors who used to gather at the port also smelled the tension in the air and left the place early. Not only them, but also the residents who used to live in the coastal area are sincerely afraid to move all their belongings out of their homes and move to an area closer to the island.

At this moment, the street seemed very empty, and a few figures were walking briskly to other places.

Whenever the alarm goes off for the coming of the deep sea, people really realize that they are living in a very dangerous world. It's not that they don't want to escape, but the port is closed, and with the possibility of a deep sea in the sea, leaving by boat may be a good idea.

The girl, who was carrying six huge naval guns and recklessly releasing her own radiant energy, was looking at Georgetown Harbor at this time with her gray pupils.

It wasn't the first time she'd seen such a scene, to be exact, she had been following the Admiral for nearly two years, and she had become accustomed to this kind of change in several crises.

When she could witness all this, she would go farther to the sea to dispel the dangers caused by the deep sea.

"Damn...... ......", the girl in the red and white witch costume was clenching her fists and enduring the unhappiness in her heart.

A dignified capital ship with strong firepower, complete combat experience and will, but due to the lack of support from teammates, she can only be trapped in the town. Knowing that his admiral was besieged in Cayman Brak, he couldn't do anything about it, and even a good temper like Shancheng couldn't hold back the anger rising in his heart.

But the rational mind honed on the verge of walking on the battlefield allowed her to control her nameless anger and concentrate on fulfilling her assigned tasks.

"All the registered ships in the port have docked, and there are no anomalies in the minefield." After carefully inspecting the berths and waterways of the harbor, the girl conveyed the message through the spiritual network to the top of the town warden's office.

"Understand, Yamashiro please stand by at the designated location, if there is any emergency, please report immediately." ,The head of the complex communication replied to her in a flat tone.怂

At this time, the girl standing at the forefront of the port could only look at the never-ending turquoise sea in the distance. Although her heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness, she knew that at this moment, she could only wait for the other shipwives to rescue her admiral.

The whispers of the maidens mingled with the sound of flowing water, mixed with the sound of metal colliding.

The girls who are preparing for the expedition are all completing their own affairs.

A few people who had not yet repaired the damaged ship's equipment started to work in the canal early, while a few foodies on an empty stomach were not hesitating to solve all kinds of supplies placed together, and more people were making psychological preparations before the war.

Whether it's entering the canal or replenishing resources, the girls are all about adjusting to the best of their ability to deal with the enemy. Although the shipwresses have been in more or less contact with the deep sea in the past week, when they really face the confrontation with the deep sea formation, they still have a slight fear of the unknown.

The ship girls are not cold war machines, even if they were summoned by humans to appear with the intention of fighting the deep sea, but they still have many deficiencies in psychological construction as a fledgling.

"Sister Veneto......", a blonde girl who was changing her clothes and starting to dress, noticed the petite companion with white hair and red eyes who was also changing clothes next to her, and the words that had accumulated in her heart couldn't help but confide:

"Is it really okay for a formation like Mr. Admiral? ...... if the message is not communicated in time, there will be a big problem", the girl began to show her ship outfit after tying her long slightly yellowish brown hair.

"Trust the Admiral's decision. Although the Admiral didn't reveal it to you, it would not be a problem if it was just a message exchange. After some consideration, Veneto said this to give Anne some confidence.

"Well, but it might be troublesome to cooperate with each other......", even after receiving confirmation from Veneto, Anne was still a little apprehensive.

"You're mainly responsible for providing aviation support, and I'm sure Betty and Lan will be up to the task of protecting you." , The white-haired girl who also showed the ship's uniform and changed into a black dress said after feeling the power in the ship's uniform behind her slightly.

And Anne, who was opposite her at the moment, had also fully revealed and adjusted the ship's outfit.

"By the way, the distribution of carrier-based aircraft...... Doesn't it need to be adjusted first? Veneto, who was about to turn around and go out, suddenly remembered this before asking.

Veneto, who has been with Anne for a long time, naturally understands some common sense of aircraft carrier carriers, and their carrier-based aircraft is indeed a terrifying carrier-based armament, but it is also subject to many restrictions. For example, they can't change the class of ships stored in the hangar in the combat state, and they need to wait quietly for a while to adjust it.

"It is true that adjustments need to be made, but it will not be completed for a while, but fortunately, I have switched to the sea mode when I conducted aviation training yesterday." , Anne herself is a light aircraft carrier mother, and she is also more concerned about carrier-based aircraft related to her own combat effectiveness.

"Chiyoda's side seems to be worse, it seems to be mostly fighter ......", thinking of this, Anne also felt a little tricky, originally Chiyoda's carrier-based aircraft carrying capacity was not as good as her, plus there were fewer attack aircraft that could be used, which also had a certain impact on aviation support missions.

"Well, but don't worry too much, maybe we'll be able to solve those deep seas soon." Veneto, who had already finished his preparations, comforted softly as he left here with Anne.

"That would be a lot easier......," said Anne, returning to the hall, as she seemed to notice that all the shipwives gathered here had finished dressing.

And the two admirals who were still in the town guard mansion at this moment also knew the situation through their respective flagships, and considering that the longer the time passed, the greater the risk of Brak, both of them gave combat orders:

"Veneto, De Moines, Mogami, Mogador, the four of you will be the first interception fleet, and Veneto will be the flagship commander, and share the communication tasks of part of the aviation formation."

"Understood!" , The four girls quickly responded after feeling the familiar thoughts of the teenager through the spiritual link.

"Anne, Betty, and Ran, you have to form an air support fleet with Chiyoda, Detsu, and Yayoi, please pay attention to cooperate and support the first and second interception fleets as much as possible." , the boy passed the order to the other three girls.

"Please also note that this time you will be facing a deep sea with a higher energy level and stronger firepower and combat effectiveness, if the battle falls into a disadvantage, please call for support immediately." When the boy passed on such thoughts in the spiritual network, the shipwives had already reached the predetermined course and began to prepare for the attack.

"Rest assured, Admiral, we will complete the mission." , Veneto, who served as the general flagship, spoke first.

"Mr. Commander, please enjoy our battles." , adjusting the nine naval guns behind her back, the girl with dazzling blonde hair seems to be very interested in the upcoming confrontation with the deep sea.

"Admiral, can you double the dessert when you come back?" Suzuya, who still doesn't forget to pay attention to this issue at the moment, asked.

"Yes", feeling the joy of Suzuya and several girls, Aritus didn't mind using his permission to buy more to make the girls even happier.

"Mr. Commander, I'll do the same too!" , Mogador, who is still full of vitality, seems to be very motivated.

The four shipwives who were organized by Aritus as the First Fleet, except for their own abilities, are not much afraid of fighting against the deep sea in terms of personality, which is why he chose this composition.

"I'll do my best to provide aviation support, so please call me as much as you can if you need it." Due to the long time together, Anne did not seem too shy at the moment, and said this very seriously.

Betty and Ran, as well as Anne, who were incorporated into the air fleet, did not seem to be so keen on fighting the deep sea. And this is also a normal thing, not all ship girls have a good impression of this kind of battle full of crises, and in many cases, Aritus also has to consider the ability and temperament of the ship mother itself when arranging tasks.

"Then I wish you all good luck", after the young man passed such a sentence in the spiritual network, he silently sensed that several ship girls were using the main engine with all their might and began to leave Georgetown Port through the channel.

"I suddenly felt that I couldn't do anything......", Aritus, who could only sense the state of the girls through the spiritual link, sat in his seat and let out a long breath.

The admirals who don't have much combat ability themselves, when the ship girl is performing an ocean-going combat mission, can only rely on the spiritual link with the ship girl to understand the battle situation, but they can't give them substantial help. And the distance of this battle is relatively long, and even Arritheus needs to pass through the flagship equipment to know the status of the shipwives in detail, but in such a battle, he can't notify the shipwives in time and correct their mistakes.

"Continuing to complete the predetermined battle plan and trying to get more information is what we can do." , The girl wearing black-framed glasses on the side is still paying attention to the information flowing on the light screen, answering the teenager's questions from time to time.

"Yes...... So let's get in touch with Mr. Tricks first, I think Braque has a large radar equipment as well...... This will allow you to more accurately confirm the situation in the surrounding sea ......", the boy was communicating with Trix in the distance by communicating with Mogami at the moment, borrowing the flagship equipment of Yamashiro to communicate with Trix in the distance.

The only thing the Admirals can do for the Ship Maidens is to provide more accurate battle reports and information, and the fight against the deep sea is not only a frontal battle, but also requires strong support in more aspects.

"I've been in contact with Mr. Sweet before, and they seem to have encountered the Deep Sea Fleet over there, but they've been in contact before, and it seems that they've been wiped out." Talia, who was on official business, said to Aritus.

"But Miss Talia, do you have any other information about the depths? Counting the deep sea on Mr. Sweet's side, the number of deep sea fish that broke into the waters under the jurisdiction of the Georgetown Town Guard reached more than a dozen, how could such a number be ......", since the spiritual link between him and Talia had already been built, the young man couldn't help but ask.

"I do know part of why, but I don't know beforehand." Talia turned her face and said after meeting Aritus's dark blue eyes.

Aritheses looked at her, unsure of the truth of the sentence for a moment.
