Blazing light, and scorching heat.

The warhead that fell along the parabola had no time to meet the most brilliant moment of its life before it was melted by a sudden burst of heat, and was obliterated by the light before it detonated.

In a small area of the sea nearby, this short, fiery glow even covered the sky with an eternal ray.

The carrier-based planes that had dropped their ammunition had already begun to return home, and as Leylan had predicted, they would only be able to launch one attack, and if they failed, they would have to return to resupply, and when they came again, Eugen would be able to knock them all down with Eugen's anti-aircraft fire.

The deep-sea habitat ship pursuit fleet, which has lost its biggest threat carrier-based aircraft and has been weakened by the wheel array, cannot knock on the black technology shield of the immortal bird and Eugen in a short time, if you insist on changing the formation to pursue, the eight 60cm acid torpedoes can also give the deep-sea habitat ship a head-on blow, and then successfully evacuate by high speed......

Now that it's safe, ......

"Admiral...... Adult ......"

A vague voice came, it should be Eugen's, right?

"Bang"

The body slammed down, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

Photon flares.

Originally, it was the ability to rely on fifth-order light energy manipulation to be able to urge, but at this moment of life and death, relying on the superposition of gene lock and strong light energy at noon, Li Lan forcibly urged, although he successfully ablated and disintegrated all the attacks that fell to 50m from above, the relative sequelae would definitely not be small......

However, at least he managed to "survive", taking all the shipwives of the Seventh Town Guard.

―――――― Split ――――――

A tough body comparable to the Abyss Demon, a superior energy conduction that surpasses the Demon Marrow Crystal, and the most precious soul that will not be broken no matter how much it is applied.

All of this-

"It's just for my plan!"

―――――― Split ――――――

"Woo......"

After regaining consciousness, his first reaction was to open his eyes, but the sharp pain coming from his left arm made Rilan immediately dismiss the idea.

Although it was ridiculous, he always believed that the pain he saw with his own eyes was worse than what he didn't.

The scenes before the coma resurfaced in his mind, and after a while, Lilan had basically understood his current physical condition.

Light manipulation is irrepressibly entering the fourth stage, and it is also the middle stage of the fourth stage.

The tissues of the left arm were completely destroyed by the high temperature and annihilation properties brought about by the flooded light energy, and it is not surprising that the current "left hand" has become a light energy affinity structure.

Open your eyes.

Everything was as usual—only in Lilan's own eyes could he see the fine blazing white lines on it.

"Bang Dang"

The sudden sound drew Rilan away from her contemplation.

"Ning...... Sea? "Probably because of the lack of moisture, the voice made was unexpectedly hoarse.

"Woo woo woo...... Lord Admiral......"

Holding back his body and subconsciously wanting to avoid "this blow", Li Lan Shengsheng suffered a "heavy blow" from Ninghai.

The strength of the ship's mother is measured in tons......

Anyway, she has also cultivated her fighting spirit, Li Lan took a breath and comforted her while stroking Ning Hai's long silver hair.

After 30 minutes.

Just when Li Lan was already feeling dry in his mouth, Ning Hai finally moved away from Li Lan's body, and he should be glad to ...... Isn't it really good that the ship's weight is measured in tons?

"Okay, I'm fine...... How long have I been in a coma? ”

Snorting slightly, Ning Hai said softly in a nasal voice: "It's been three days, Lord Admiral"

"It's been three days...... What happened to the previous retreat? Although he had taken into account the possible situation as much as possible, Lan Xin was still quite nervous at this moment. In this world, there is never a shortage of accidents.

"After you fell unconscious, we began to retreat to the Sixth Town Guard Mansion according to your battle plan, but the deep-sea habitat ship still pursued behind, and then ......"

Saying this, a complicated look flashed in Ning Hai's eyes, but it was quickly disguised.

"Hibiki-chan turned on the mimic ship and sank all the three deep-sea habitat ships in pursuit, and 17 minutes later, we met the fourth mine team that also retreated to the Sixth Town Guard, and retreated to the Sixth Town Guard Mansion together."

"After 38 minutes, all members of the 3rd Mine Brigade, the 4th Mine Brigade, and the 7th Town Guard Mansion returned safely to the 6th Town Guard."

Hearing this, Lilan let out a long sigh of relief.

It's enough to be able to return safely......

"What about Eugen and Z16?"

“…… Patrol"

"Patrol, then I-wait" Li Lan looked at Ning Hai suspiciously: "You mean...... Patrol? ”

In Ning Hai's explanation, Li Lan realized how violently his coma had caused to the Seventh Town Guard.

As soon as they returned to the Sixth Town Guard, Hibiki and Eugen even aimed their naval guns directly at the Nagato secretary ship, which came out to greet them, before stopping under the persuasion of Atago and Den.

However, the relationship between them is completely at a low ebb.

"The Fourth Mine Squadron received a communication from the Nagato Secretary Ship after the Admiral's departure, and they didn't move in the direction of the Third Mine Squadron at all, but went directly back to the town to help the Shofu-"

Speaking of the information that Ruyue, who had rescued Muyue and was extremely grateful to everyone in the Seventh Town Guard's Mansion, Ning Hai's emotions were quite excited.

"They're just trying to get the Admiral—"

"Enough, Ning Hai!"

“……”

Enduring the soreness in his body, Li Lan gently pressed on the top of Ning Hai's head: "No matter what, Nagato always saved us, and also let us stay in the Sixth Town Guard, maybe it was just an accident?" ”

"I'm sorry, Admiral...... But ......"

"Ah, I see, it's okay......"

"But ......"

But—

If you really go away like this, how should we welcome that hopeless future?

Darkness slowly grows in the bottom of my heart.

―――――― Split ――――――

After the "break" with Nagato, the shipwrewn of the Seventh Town Guard refused any assistance from the Sixth Town Guard, and instead chose to rely on her own patrols, following the "old way" of Rilan, sinking deep-sea habitat ships and plundering resources from them.

If it weren't for the fact that Lilan was in a coma and needed to rest, and there was no other place to go, it is estimated that the shipwreck of the Seventh Town Guard Mansion would have left the Sixth Town Guard Mansion with Lilan.

Moreover, not only the shipwives of the Seventh Town Guard, but also many of the shipwives of the Sixth Town Guardhouse also felt extremely dissatisfied and incomprehensible about this expedition.

Almost without any scruples, all the shipwives were sent out to carry out missions, and even the most basic reserve reinforcements were not left.

After discovering the attack fleet from the deep-sea habitat ships, he ignored the possible heavy losses and directly issued an order to the ship's mother in the mission to immediately return to help.

You must know that at that time, a considerable number of ship girls were in a fierce battle with the deep-sea habitat ship, and rash retreat and a pursuit battle that could lead to a one-sided reversal occurred.

After Ning Hai left, Li Lan looked at the building in the distance outside the window and was silent.
