(Ask for recommendations, ask for favorites.) )

On the Eastern Front, three nautical miles away from Grey Rock Beach, the battle has entered its final stage.

The assault force led by Nagato was already covered in bruises, and even Nagato, who was the flagship, looked like he was broken, and his clothes were not covered.

As a result, they did a good job, nearly two hours had passed since the beginning of the battle, but they still held this line and no one sank, which was a brilliant record no matter where they were placed, because they had fought hundreds of enemies in just one formation, and even one of them was a ghost-level enemy.

However, that's all, the enemy is tireless, endless, no matter how hard they try, this battle will not be able to see the end, even if the dark clouds in the sky disperse, the surging tide returns to calm, but for the enemy, just the right view can blow them down.

"Secretary Nagato, we can't hold it anymore."

Nagato turned around, she pursed her lips and looked at her companions, there were three shipwives who were broken, Hiei was broken like herself, and the only one who did less damage was Borg, who was an aircraft escort, was helping to support Zhenming, who was already unconscious next to her, and by the way, her carrier-based aircraft had already run out.

Worst-case scenario.

If they continue to fight, sinking is a certainty, the enemy is endless, and the reinforcements they have been waiting for are still far away.

To be honest, it is very doubtful that there will be reinforcements.

Nagato turned his head and glanced at the enemy in front of him who had not been reduced by the black pressure and pressed together, obviously he had been fighting for so long, and he had sunk a lot on his side, but those ordinary deep-sea habitat ships were like consumables that could be replenished at will after sinking, and the battleship water ghost, who was really the leader, retreated to the second line after a few rounds of bombardment with Nagato, and the fool could also see that she was planning to consume Nagato and her forces here.

Nagato thought for a moment, turned his back and said, "Hiei, Borg, you retreat with the others, and I'll cover for you." ”

"Nagato-san?"

"But in this case, how are you going to ...... the secretary ship Nagato?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Nagato's loud voice overshadowed her companion's worries, she shook her long black hair, opened the defensive wall created by the Lambda drive to block another wave of attacks for her companions, and said coldly: "You wounded people will only get in the way here, go quickly!" ”

"But ......"

"Don't be in my mother-in-law's, this is an order!" Nagato said in an irrefutable tone.

"My words can still fight." Hiei said.

"You're in charge of getting them back safely." Nagato obviously won't agree to the other party's request to stay, which is also a matter of course, and now the only ones who can keep the action are Hiei and Borg, but the latter is an empty carrier, and has run out of carrier-based aircraft, which means that there is no combat power at all. If there were no battleship guards around them, their wounded would be in danger of sinking if they encountered the enemy's fleet.

"Nagato-san, didn't we say that we would engrave the victory on the dawn level, and then bring the good news back to the colonel, if you don't retreat, we won't retreat either!" Zhenming, who was seriously injured, bit his bleeding lip and said, revealing a face full of unwillingness.

Judging from the current results, there is no doubt that they have failed, and think about it, how can such a chaotic plan succeed.

"You ......" Nagato finally turned his head and looked at the eyes that were staring at her back.

But the touching scene did not appear-

snap, followed by a resounding slap on Zhenming's face, and Nagato, who threw out the slap, looked at her coldly: "Where did so many personal feelings come from on the battlefield, some only have orders and obedience." Remember, as a soldier, your life is not just your own. To sink here, it's very simple, just one person can shoot a cannon, but please think about it with your brains, if you all die here, then when these deep-sea fleets attack the port of Murizak next, who will defend the people, who will defend the town!? Zhenming, I didn't hear what you just said, you tell me again!! ”

Tears rolled in Zhenming's eyes, but they were not tears of grievance, she pursed her lips and said with great difficulty: "I am willing to obey orders...... Retreat ......"

"What about you?" Nagato looked at the others who looked away.

"I—We're ...... too"

"Let's go!"

Nagato turned her back and once again shielded the deep-sea habitat ship from another wave of shelling, but even Nagato, known as the BIG7, was not endless, and the strength and width of her open defensive wall were much weaker than the original, and the difference was almost visible to the naked eye.

The other shipwives behind her looked at her silently, and they all bit their lipes unwillingly, but they eventually dragged their heavy bodies and began to retreat.

Because I can't live up to her wishes.

Although each of them had tears on their faces, that determination did not fade.

Let's become stronger and bloom more beautifully, Nagato thinks.

She withdrew her slightly tilted gaze, the corners of her mouth curled.

Let yourself put a break in this long battle.

Bang bang!

As if in response to Nagato's fighting spirit, her ship's firepower kept bombarding the deep-sea dwelling ships that tried to intercept the retreating Shimana and Hiei, and even though they had fought so far, Nagato's firepower was still suppressed and they couldn't raise their heads at all.

However, this is only the beginning, and the next thing is the main play, after seeing Hiei and the others finally withdraw from the blockade area of the deep-sea habitat ships, Nagato began to rush alone, aiming at the location of the battleship water ghost surrounded by the habitat ships.

"Battleship water ghost, ahh

Once again, a brilliant blue arc coalesced in Nagato's barrel, followed by an extra-long and long-range railgun.

However, there was no figure of a battleship water ghost on the cleared sea area, but as if laughing at Nagato's powerlessness, more deep-sea habitat ships gathered towards her.

Scold.

Another shot, but compared to the previous lightning shelling, both in power and range, it was much smaller than before, followed by the third and fourth rounds......

Nagato was exhausted.

The last of her proud main guns had been damaged by a round of enemy bombardment, and she finally heard the voices of the undead hidden beneath the waves as the deep-sea dwelling ships approached more and more.

As a result, can't you escape the fate of sinking?

But Nagato's face did not show dissatisfaction, she smiled and said in an extremely arrogant voice, "Come on, you scum! ”

As if in response to her words, all the surrounding deep sea fired cannonballs at her at the same time.

This time there was no doubt that he was going to be sunk, and Nagato closed his eyes in resignation.

However, just when she felt that her sinking was a foregone conclusion, a voice suddenly came.

"Nagato-san!"

"Hiei?" Nagato, who heard the voice, opened his eyes, only to find that Hiei, who had just escorted them away, was in front of him, using the defensive wall generated by the Lambda drive and his own body to block most of the shells for Nagato, but Nagato did not appreciate it, but asked the other party loudly: "What's the matter with you, why are you back?" ”

"I'm sorry, but I've completed the task given to me by Nagato-san, and they're now in a safe place......"

"That'...... too"

Nagato was about to say that he shouldn't come back to die, but Hiei interrupted her: "Nagato-san, look at the sky." ”

Heavenly?

Nagato, who was attracted by this statement, raised his head, and a dense number of carrier-based aircraft appeared in the sky, so what...... Wait, that is not a deep-sea carrier-based aircraft, but an aqua blue fighter marked with an eagle, this is ......

"Reinforcements?"

The carrier-based aircraft roared over the heads of Nagato and Hiei, and began to bombard the direction where the deep-sea habitat ships below had gathered.

"Look!"

Nagato turned his head and looked in the direction of Hiei's finger.

On the horizontal line where the sea meets the sky, rows of ship mothers appeared. They belong to different units in different towns, but at this moment, they are here for the same purpose.

Nagato heard a murmur in his ear.

"Seal victory on the level of dawn."

Nagato was slightly stunned, but quickly smiled.

"Well, imprint victory on the level of dawn."
