Chapter 175: The Frontline of the Rout
Deep-sea front
Richelieu fired a salvo of the last shells of the main gun, which whizzed through the air and looked out at the sea with smoke wafting in the distance. The sea was pitch black, and countless deep seas looked at them across the sea. The miserable white faces of those monsters were full of ferocity and banter, as if they were watching the good deeds, waiting for the defeat of the ship's mother and humanity.
This is the sixth day of the war, and the ammunition that has been hoarded on the front line for the past six days has been pouring like a waterfall, and all the shipwives have hardly closed their eyes, looking at the sea all day long, for fear that this short period of tranquility will be suddenly broken, and the border belonging to mankind will have to move back again.
The blonde girl weakly put away the ship uniform behind her, and the blue, white and red skirt on her body trembled in the autumn wind. She sighed helplessly at the blue-and-white uniform blackened by gunsmoke, and took heavy steps back to the dilapidated makeshift command post to resupply.
In fact, at the beginning, the command post was not here, but on the huge island in front of it, and the huge castle was the place where the battle decision was first made, but now the pace of the deep-sea attack is becoming faster and more intense, especially after the birth of new deep-sea species, the opponent's combat effectiveness is simply incomparable.
The result was naturally a fiasco for humanity, and many of the Admirals and Shipwives of the Governor's Mansion were buried in the darkness of the sea here, and now they were left struggling to support themselves, waiting for reinforcements from the Governor's Palace.
In fact, Richelieu did not know whether there were any reinforcements, because from the beginning of the battle to the present, except for seeing some cowards fleeing from the front line, no admiral or ship lady arrived, as if the reinforcement order issued by the governor's palace was just a child's play, and no one wanted to believe it.
However, she also knows that when facing these deep-sea monsters, any reward is for nothing, only safety is the most important thing for those cowards, as long as there is a reward to take while ensuring absolute safety, those cowards will definitely run around.
Is it really like what Yat-sen said, it won't be long before this place will be lost again and then continue to move inward? She slowly pushed open the dilapidated wooden door in front of her and sighed sadly.
Although the temporary command post is dilapidated, there is a lot of space inside, and she has spent the past two days eating and living here, although the deep sea issued a war letter to them the day before yesterday, saying that as long as the delusional fleet led by them is annihilated, they can regain the territory lost by mankind, and promise not to attack in the next month.
Although they have fulfilled their promise in the past two days and fixed the battle line between the deep sea and humanity here, Richelieu, as the supreme commander here, does not dare to be careless at all, and will still insist on patrolling every day to force the deep sea close to the edge line back. Because the first battle started was that the deep sea figured out the time node of the change of guard on the front line, and took advantage of that short few minutes to launch an attack in the blind spot of the lighthouse, which caught the shipwives off guard and retreated. So after such a big loss, Richelieu re-established the vigil system, so that the time of the changing of the guard overlapped, and did not give those new terrible deep seas a chance to take advantage of.
"Commander Richelieu, we don't have much resources left now, I'm afraid we can only hold out for another three days." The blue-haired girl in a gray uniform standing in the doorway spoke, looking at Richelieu's red eyes with solemnity.
"Didn't I say that there was a rationing system? How can resources still be consumed so quickly? Richelieu frowned. As early as the beginning, in order to prevent the excessive consumption of resources, she implemented a strict distribution according to the number of guards on the front line, which should have lasted for a week, but now it has shrunk significantly.
"It's not a matter of consumption." The blue-haired girl sighed and shook her head, her face was extremely pale, and she whispered, "It's because most of the admirals have left the front line with their respective ship girls." ”
"Mostly? How much is the majority? It means that there are very few shipwives and admirals on the front line now? She asked through gritted teeth.
She now understood why there were no reinforcements from the Admiral and the Shipwreck under the orders of the Governor's Palace. All of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, and now even the admirals stationed on the front line dare to escape, and the high allowance given to them by the governor's palace every month can be regarded as feeding the white-eyed wolf.
It seems that after the departure of the avant-garde, the Governor's Palace has regained its former cowardice, like a sick tiger, which can only let out a sickly roar, and cannot at all deter those rats. Richelieu's chest was violently bullied, as if he was constantly calming his anger.
"Yes, according to statistics, there are only twelve shipwives on the front line now, and there are only fourteen shipwives left with us." The girl replied in a low voice, for fear that this result would anger the commander who had been fighting for three days and three nights in front of her, after all, it had reached the point where she had run out of ammunition and food, and there was no hope of continuing to persevere.
"Don't you have a single admiral?" Richelieu asked, crushing on his last hope, his tone tinged with the sadness of autumn.
"Yes, none of the Admirals want to stay." The girl nodded.
Richelieu gritted her teeth and laughed as if she had heard a joke, but there was only bitterness and helplessness in her smile. "Then those cowards also took the resources with them, right?"
Since there are only fourteen ship wives left, the remaining resources can't last for three days? She could imagine what the reason behind this was. Because when the ration system was first implemented, it was distributed according to the number of ships in each town, and in the past few days, because of the battle, there are no more ship girls who take care of the warehouse, and those cowards who have long been ready to escape will run away, but I didn't expect to loot the resources in the warehouse, which is simply mad!
Richelieu clenched his fist and cursed in his heart, but to no avail.
She leaned against the door frame and sighed, her red eyes losing their luster like a dry well. "Is there still no news of the reinforcements from the Governor's Palace?" She asked, holding on to her last hope.
"Even though the reward issued by the Governor's Palace this time is very rich, no Admiral is willing to go," said this, and the blue-haired girl seemed to remember something. "But in the morning Instructor Bismarck sent a telegram saying that her Admiral would come to support with all the staff of the Guardhouse, and that they would arrive in two days at the appointed time."
"Bismarck's Admiral?" Richelieu frowned, she had worked with this powerful German shipwreck for some time, and there were many admirals who wanted to sign contracts with her, but none of them succeeded. "When did she get the Admiral?"
"Instructor Bismarck said that she was the latest new admiral, and although she has not yet signed a formal contract, she has already determined that the other party is her admiral." The blue-haired girl explained, "And she is full of confidence in the battle in the Deep Sea Warbook this time, saying that she will definitely regain the lost territory." ”
"Retake the lost territory?" Richelieu looked at the sea outside the door and smiled bitterly, "Did she think it was still the deep sea before?" Now that the sky has changed, the deep sea is constantly evolving, appearing in front of us in its current state, and we have wasted our time in a hard-won peace, and the ability to come out of intrigue has become much stronger, and all the admirals have become weak. ”
She sighed and continued, "Prince Eugen, do you know? In the past, the dean of the Royal Naval Academy once led the ship lady to completely suppress the deep sea near the Xinghai Town Guard, which was several times more than his enemies, and he never retreated, but now those admirals are only left to escape. Seriously, I don't see any hope for the future of humanity. ”
"But at least now the Admiral is willing to come to his aid." Prince Eugen replied, looking at Richelieu's desperate expression, and feeling a helpless chill in her heart.
"Yes, Bismarck's vision is good, and although I have never met her admiral, I can at least be sure that he is not a timid person." Richelieu nodded and smiled, her blue eyes glowing with starlight. "I just hope that this time it can turn the tide of the war as she said." She muttered softly, her voice drifting in the wind.
