Unlike the Governor's Palace, which is close to the south, as the core city of the Federation Continent, it is even called the "Distant Star", and no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the threat of deep-sea dwelling ships in the coastal area to exist at all times, and if the capital has to be moved every time it is invaded, it will not be able to develop at all.

In this case, the location of the Reach Star was determined to be an inland area nearly 500 kilometers from the neutral sea to the east.

As a core city, the existence of the waterway is naturally indispensable under various needs, so 120 years ago, the navy was still in a period of subversion, and the then naval governor deliberately widened the waterway leading to the neutral sea area to the east for "some" purposes, even the aircraft carrier-level warships can sail smoothly above and drive directly towards the capital city of the federation......

Perhaps, when the governor 120 years ago made up his mind to dig this channel, he never imagined that there would be such a day.

Looking at the entrance of the river on the horizon, Lilan thought silently in his heart.

-- Not a glorious march, but more like a coerced loser.

Press and hold the communicator: "Just let Akagi, Gaga and Longfeng follow me in, and the others stay here"

"Huh......?"

"Lord Admiral?!"

"I'm—"

"This is an order" slowed down slightly: "It's not going to war, it's just going to a meeting...... Am I right, Chief Layla? ”

Her gaze was deflected, and the pink-haired girl replied expressionlessly, "...... The Navy and the Army have different military systems, you don't need to call me that"

"Okay, one day at most, wait for me to come back...... Then let's go home together."

“…… I understand it under it."

Seeing the fleet move away, there was a sudden vibration in his arms.

Bismarck unsurprisingly took out his personal communication terminal - the war was over, and Leylan naturally reactivated the communication center.

Eat support: The bottom limit is 24 hours. Play it by ear

Persian: Understood

Everything is based on the assumption that the worst will happen - this is what the Admiral taught us.

It is far simpler to swear allegiance to one than to a race, and for the glory and trust of that gift, Bismarck is ready to direct his soldiers to anyone......

Yes. Anyone!

―――――― Split ――――――

"Aren't you going back to the Governor's Palace?"

Strangely looking at King Kong on the side - with this river that had been widened so that the battleships could have passed, it would have been easy for two warships to run side by side.

"If I'm not mistaken, the order I got earlier should have been to let you go straight back to the Governor's Palace, right?"

At the end of the war, including the 54 warriors at the repair point, the four priests obtained from the Governor's Palace, and the temporary command of King Kong and Kawana were also invalid, after all, to some extent, the mission was a complete failure, and it was pointless to hold them in their hands.

And in the communication that Layla received from the Federation, in addition to asking the field fleet and his party to go to the Far Star. There is also a communication from the Governor's Palace, the content is very simple, asking King Kong and Kawana to return to the Governor's Palace, but the four gods are not mentioned at all.

"Don'tworry, no matter what happens, I will accompany you to the end!" With a thumbs up, instead of answering Lilan's question, King Kong directly pulled the topic to a strange angle.

Li Lan was dumbfounded when he heard this. She can see it, right?

Anyway, she has survived on the battlefield as a ship's mother.,Except for those things who deliberately don't want to understand and pretend to be deaf and dumb.。 Like the next thing that is about to decide the group of ship mothers, she is not slower than Lilan.

If she really obeyed the Governor's orders and returned directly, then including her, Naima, Hiei, Kirishima, and all the other shipwives in the Governor's Mansion would only look like blind people. Waiting for the slim judgment of fate.

If she came with the field fleet, although there was no hope, at least, she could make a final effort...... Even if she understood that it was pointless.

Thinking of this, without warning: "King Kong." Do you like the Doge's Palace? ”

"Huh?"

"Where would you rather stay than the field fleet?"

- This is almost a clear digging corner, and Akagi, who is approaching behind her, is a little confused, and in her impression, her admiral is not such a "hungry" person, and he doesn't even have the most basic cover-up......

"Hmm~" However, King Kong's reaction was also beyond everyone's expectations, and he did not refuse sternly at the first time, but frowned in distress, as if he really considered the feasibility of Li Lan's words.

"If you say feel, you seem to be better over there......"

The name in the back can't stand it anymore: "Sister Jin, King Kong-!" ”

betraying the original admiral, this kind of behavior is completely unimaginable for the ship's mother, and now her eldest sister seems to be moved!

Even if he knew about the degree of his eldest sister's disconnection a long time ago, this situation is still unacceptable to Namia.

Under the anger and sadness, the girl's eyes turned red a little: "Betrayal or something-"

Even if she tried her best to ignore it, the premonition that she belonged to the same group of ship girls still made her understand something that was bound to happen......

Hoarse voice: "Betrayal or something......"

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Woo...... Treachery...... What ......"

Watching this scene quietly, King Kong just cast a sad look at Li Lan.

―――――― Split ――――――

Li Lan understands that if he really chooses to leave the Governor's Palace, I am afraid that the most unacceptable thing is this prototype ship lady who has been staying in it since the moment it was manufactured.

From nothing at the beginning, it slowly grew little by little, and then slowly but firmly declined under the elimination of the times.

She had lived through the most powerful period of disruption in the navy, and the laughter of her sisters appeared in every corner of the sea; I also experienced the long and brutal war of aggression and counterattack, one after another familiar voices were swallowed by the sea, and one after another familiar and unfamiliar voices re-arrived......

As a ship mother, sinking into the sea is a natural end - as early as the original delusional fleet annihilation operation, King Kong said this to Lilan.

That's when Lilan understood.

For the prototype ship, King Kong, as the ship's mother of the Governor's Palace, following in the footsteps of her "friends" and sinking into the sea together is the ending she wants, but after Hiei, Kirishima and Kawana were built one after another, this purpose has unknowingly changed.

Even if it's not who they used to be, but ...... For the sake of the people she loves, the girl is still willing to twist her 300 years of will.

-- This cruel and gentle world. (To be continued......)
