Compared with the first front, which had already been defeated in front of us, or the seventh front, which was deadlocked, both part of the defensive zone of the Eastern Front, the final line of defense, the 13th line of defense, seemed calm.

It may only be an occasional exception, but at least when Rilan stood on the deck of King Kong and saw the thirteenth line of defense less than 100 meters away from the northern continent and the eastern sea, he saw such a scene of "peace".

It's just that the true face of this thirteenth line of defense is indeed what Lilan didn't expect.

"That thing ......"

"Oh, the Admiral was surprised, too!" The earlier scene seemed to be selectively forgotten, and King Kong explained to Lilan without pressure: "That's the last line of defense!" ”

Li Lan's brow furrowed slightly.

Rhetorical question: "This thing works?" ”

Whether it's distance or height, the location of this thing is quite bad, compared to it, it's better to use these resources to make more ammunition, or build more ships, why put it here as a decoration?

Yes, the so-called thirteenth line of defense is not a sea area in the traditional sense, but a real "facility" - a "wall" made of steel and concrete, about 10 meters high, 100 meters from the coastal zone of the coastline.

I'm afraid this kind of thing can't even be carried by the destroyer's naval guns, right?

In response to Lilan's question, King Kong showed a confident smile: "I don't know desu!" ”

“…… It's my fault that I'll ask you this kind of question."

―――――― Split ――――――

From the time he saw the shadow that occupied the horizon to the time he landed on the shore, he didn't feel any emotions such as "shock", "excitement" or "disbelief", how can I say it......

At the beginning, whether it was the Seventh Town Guard, the Sixth Town Guard, or even the relay station and resource point, when Li Lan first saw it, he thought about what benefits it could bring to his fleet, and this continent was already a master land.

In this case. It's hard for Lelan to get excited about something that is not destined to be obtained, as for the excitement of seeing what may be the only remaining continent in the world...... As an N-time traveler, this kind of thing has not been experienced 1000 times but also 800 times.

In contrast, Relan was more interested in the people who stood on the dock to greet them.

Because he learned from the governor that the field fleet this time was not the mainland that landed in the form of an official "visit", Li Lan was not surprised to see the few figures on the dock. The only thing that came as a surprise to him was.

"No ship's ......"

"Yohooo ~~~~~ Governor, King Kong is back~~~~~~~~~~"

Li Lan, who came back to his senses, was stunned: "Governor? ”

"Mm-hmm, that's the bald old guy!"

“……”

Helplessly glanced at King Kong, this kind of description is also thanks to her daring to say it, it seems that it is not for nothing that she and Nai, Hiei and Kirishima were thrown to the field fleet to face the terrifying delusional fleet.

Then, Lilan followed King Kong's line of sight.

- Uh, what do you say?

A bald old guy indeed......

There is no such thing as an imaginative upright, on the contrary. Probably because of frailty and aging, he even looks a little rickety. There was barely a chance of hair hanging on the top of his head, and I believe that the meaning of the decoration was far greater than the reality, and it was worth caring that he was now wearing not a standard navy uniform, but more like everyday civilian clothes.

Moreover, among the entourage behind him, Li Lan also saw an "acquaintance".

Original. The Admiral of the Fourth Town.

Although the expression on his face was a little subtle, he still stood honestly behind the governor, only like everyone else. He also took off his navy uniform and changed into civilian clothes.

Informality?

With this doubt. Relan also set foot on the world's largest continent after King Kong landed, and made his first contact with the once "power-leaning" naval governor.

"Come, come, welcome our guests from afar"

When he heard this intimate but majestic voice, Lilan also dispelled the last trace of concern in his heart. It was indeed the one he had heard on the communicator.

Merely...... Disillusionment, shall it be said?

On closer inspection, Lilan could really see the governor in front of him, except for the occasional flash of essence in his eyes. He didn't look any different from a normal old man.

This is a certain difference from the image of the governor that Rilan originally imagined.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and the same "kind" smile appeared on Rilan's face, and after hearing the governor's words, he said righteously: "No, no, as long as you can contribute to the Federation, even if you are in the southern realm." I'm going to rush across the dead sea to defend my homeland! ”

The Governor stretched out his hand for a moment, and then said in the same tone as usual: "It would be nice if you could have this heart, well-what the current Federation lacks is you young people with ideals, ambitions, and abilities!" ”

Li Lan smiled "embarrassed": "The Governor has won the prize"

His gaze seemed to inadvertently turn to the former Admiral of the Fourth Town Guard behind the Governor - from the moment he saw Lilan, he had a ghostly expression on his face, and in a way, he was the most "real" of the interlocutors in the audience.

Seeing the hellish expression on his face, Li Lan grinned: "Long time no see, Your Excellency the Admiral of the Fourth Town Guard, have you slept soundly lately?" ”

"Y-You're not—"

The Governor, who was standing in front, frowned, and suddenly drank: "Felke"

"But, Governor, he's the Army—"

"Felke!"

“…… Sorry"

Fortunately, I didn't let the dragon and phoenix follow, otherwise I can't say what the situation would have evolved at this time, but it's just ...... I think I can see this distance.

Thinking of this, the shadow in Lilan's heart is even deeper.

In just two months, it won't make Li Lan forget who sent Feng Xiang back to the Northern Continent in the first place, if it weren't for Long Xiang's forced breakthrough to rush to the relay station, I'm afraid even Long Feng would have to be taken away.

You think that's the end of it?

Glancing at the young man who had retreated with an unwilling expression, Li Lan secretly made a decision in his heart.

"Well, where we talk from time to time, ...... next" The scene just now was like an illusion, and the Governor looked above the ship behind Richland: "Don't you let us see it?" annihilated the heroes of the delusional fleet" (to be continued......)
