On the thirty-second day of traveling into this world, four days after the attack on the deep-sea stronghold, Rilan did not welcome the expected human fleet sweeping from the western land, but the day after Little North left, he received the news of a large-scale fleet gathering in the east.

At the forefront of the deep sea, Zhudao Town guards the mansion.

As the thirty-sixth town guard mansion that Lilan had captured, like the Berland town guard and the nameless town guard before it, along with all the resources originally stored above, including the admirals and ship wives on this town guard, it had been completely withdrawn long before Rilan and his deep-sea fleet arrived.

Gradually, Lilan probably understood why some of the town guards were indifferent when facing the deep-sea habitat ship group he led.

The reason for this is nothing more than to lure Rylan and his main fleet deeper.

Even if Li Lan knew that there was fraud in this, but for the sake of the deep sea war potential represented by the large "ownerless" sea area and a large number of resources, Li Lan still had to bite this bait and continue to go deeper, and until now, the knife in the back has been successfully stabbed, and naturally there is no need for these town guards to continue to be "bait" and consume their own combat power for no reason.

And these forces that gave up their original "homeland" and retreated to the west to gather are the part that Lilan is most worried about, and even, if there is a real battle in the future, Lilan will not be able to transform them into deep-sea inhabitants like those previous town guard ship girls, after all, it is impossible for the admirals who got the news to run to the front line stupidly to hunt and kill Lilan, they will only stay at the end and give orders to their shipwives as if facing the "deep sea".

And on the premise that the Admiral did not die in battle, the battle damage bearing capacity of the ship girl is far greater than any kind of army that Lilan has ever seen, even if the battle sinks to the last, they will follow the Admiral's order to continue the attack, right?

In this case. I want to plunge them into despair...... The difficulty is definitely more than Lilan can accept.

Fortunately, now Lilan doesn't need to face this worst-case scenario so quickly: the fleet coming from the deep sea to the east is a human fleet through and through......

"Leave half of the line of defense"

In mid-air, a red trajectory was drawn on the sea map projected by the magic power, and Li Lan said in a flat tone to the forty or so deep-sea habitats present: "Follow me here."

To the right of the red track, a piece of water sandwiched between two islands and reefs is marked: "News from behind." The enemy fleet will be close to the line around 12 o'clock tonight, and if they don't want to spend half a day on a long detour, this is the place they will choose to pass."

Coldly, Li Lan shook his left hand at the sea map above.

"Nail-"

The blade of the magic condensed was nailed to the illusory map out of thin air

"Here, annihilate them!"

―――――― Split ――――――

"It's rare...... Don't you have to go back and rest? ”

The familiar voice again......

After a short silence, as every time before, Xianghe, who knew that he was "sleeping", tried his best to "see" the vague figure in front of him.

"Time?"

It was clear what he was saying in his dream, but Xianghe couldn't hear any of his own voices at all, so he could only helplessly watch the vague figure answer "to himself" again.

"It's probably not been long...... Are you worried? ”

Even if you can't hear anything. But Xianghe understood that she was indeed worried in the dream......

What to worry about?

"Hehe, no, I still have this confidence"

Slowly, the gentle voice moved away little by little, and at the same time, Xianghe could feel the call from the outside world.

"Xiang...... Crane ......"

"Although it will be forgotten later...... But still...... Combat...... Be careful...... ...... yourself"

All the darkness was replaced at the last moment by a pair of dark blue eyes.

"Sleep. When you wake up, you'll find that it's the same world you know again."

"Shozuru ......"

Open your eyes. The blue eyes were full of confusion, and the deep sea Shozuru looked at the deep sea Kaga's deep purple eyes above in a daze.

"Kaga-san ......"

Shaking his head slightly, Fukai Kaga breathed a sigh of relief: "It's almost time to go"

"Huh? It's ......"

The memories that were covered by dreams came back to my heart, and I don't know why, at this moment, the deep-sea crane suddenly had a sense of absurdity.

It seems that the previous dream is "real". And now everything is just a "dream......

"Xianghe, have you decided?"

The sense of absurdity is broken by Kaga Fukami's sudden inquiry, and Fukami's Shotsuru looks at the girl who made the inquiry.

Fukami Kaga looked out the window at the gloomy sky - the shipwrecks who had taken refuge in the Pillar Island Castle had already evacuated, but they had not been subjected to the same artillery bombardment by the Deep Sea Fleet as the previous ones. The buildings above have also been preserved in more or less entirety.

Fukami Kaga's voice revealed a hint of confusion: "Yamato-san has decided ......"

The deep-sea Xianghe was stunned when he heard this, and then also shifted his gaze to the gloomy sky outside the window.

"Yamato-sanshe...... Want to end it all there? ”

"Well, she said that now is the best time, the northern Qiji has left, and she has taken half of the deep-sea habitat ships with her, and the rest can barely be ordered by our ability...... There is only one enemy we need to face"

Subconsciously, the deep sea crane looked at the black longbow hanging on the wall.

Once, he used this weapon to destroy everything about himself......

When I closed my eyes and opened them again, all the confusion I had was replaced by enlightenment and killing intent.

"Let's go...... End it all"

―――――― Split ――――――

The Continental Continent of the Federation, the capital of Mokos

"Human, obey me"

With the spread of the language full of magical power, below, a pair of eyes that were either expectant or doubtful slowly replaced by a mechanical and cold dark blue light.

"To the east—"

Swinging his arms forward, the leader commanded the 300,000 men in front of him: "Kill all the enemies that stand in your way!" ”

“yes，yourhighness――！！！”

The eleventh day of the General Adviser of the Armed Counsel's tenure.

The Second Fleet, a total of 300,000 troops, was not affected by the fact that the First Fleet was unaccounted for, but, after the speech of the General Adviser of the Armed Officer, marched towards the battlefield in the East with a fervor that no one could have imagined...... (To be continued.) )
