When the sky in the east was slightly white, the fleet that had successfully completed the task of "saving the ship Niang Longfeng" also came to the waters near the Fourth Town Shoufu again after the aircraft carrier formation, the difference is that the last time it came with friendly goodwill, this time it was outright hostile.

"Everyone be on alert, we could be attacked at any moment before we leave the Fourth Town Guard"

"I'm really, really sorry, it's all the dragon's fault—"

The voice coming from the communicator was vaguely sobbing, which made Lilan's head a little big: "Okay, Miss Longfeng, this is the third time you have apologized, and I have explained to you before, this is not what you imagined......"

Even if it is not the beginning of the dragon and phoenix incident, one day, Li Lan will inevitably go to the opposite side of the northern continent - his own camp and position, it is destined that Li Lan will not be able to let these war queens of the old era be eliminated by the times, and this confrontation will be inevitable at that time. And as the price of disobedience to the current of the times, this kind of hostility in front of us is only the most basic one.

Bigger challenges are yet to come.

"However, if it weren't for Long Feng not making any resistance and leaving them, if Long Feng hadn't mentioned the people at the relay station to Sister Long Xiang, she wouldn't have ......."

Speaking of the back, the self-blame from the heart almost crushed this young girl.

Li Lan sighed helplessly: "If you really want to think like that, I can't help it...... But at least think about it once we're sure we're in a safe position - you're not going to need your help in the rest of the battle, and if you continue to be frustrated like this, it might end up being the worst you imagined, you know? ”

After a moment of silence, the girl who wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes nodded heavily: "Hmm! ”

"Please use the dragon and phoenix, Admiral!"

Admiral?

Looking at the island floating in the distance in a daze, Li Lan's heart was full of mixed feelings.

Unlike when he was "captured" before, there was a considerable part of the habit of addressing the "Admiral" at that time - every shipwreck would address the Admiral of each town guard mansion like this, which only existed as a similar honorific title, and did not have any special meaning.

And now this "Admiral" is full of absolute identity......

Wouldn't it be necessary to raise an extra boat?

The corners of his mouth twitched, although the current situation was really not suitable, Li Lan still couldn't help but fall into a state of distraction.

Generally speaking, each ship under the Admiral of the Town Guard Mansion was built by the Admiral himself, on the one hand, to cultivate loyalty and identity, and on the other hand, to give a long run-in time in the growth period.

And what about yourself?

Except for the fact that when I first started in the Seventh Town Guard, I blindly built Ninghai, Z16, and Hibiki, and after running to the Sixth Town Guard, I built Prince Eugen with the help of the builder of the Sixth Town, all of them are the ships of the other Towns, right?

When I have time and resources, I will definitely build 100 rounds!

The admiral, who was ruthless in his heart, thought so, of course, he still had to solve the situation in front of him first.

"Admiral, it's Akagi-san's communication"

"......Take it," Lilan subconsciously said to Shentong, 0.5 seconds later.

"Wait--is it from the communication tower?!"

If it was an ordinary communication, it would be absolutely impossible for Akagi to initiate it outside of Rilan's horizon, after all, it was only 8000m

"Yes, yes!" Although he was choked by Rilan's startled appearance, the supernatural power still answered quickly.

Communication towers?

Could it be that the Fourth Town Guard has already been occupied?

Doubts rose in his heart, and Lilan held down the communicator, waiting for communication from another fleet.

"Zizi...... Welcome back, Admiral."

When Akagi's familiar gentle voice sounded, Rilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It sounds like there were no accidents on their trip last night.

"Akagi, report on your current situation"

"Yes!"

In Akagi's methodical narration, Rilan realized what had happened to the aircraft carrier fleet that had come to the Fourth Town Guard Mansion last night.

“…… You mean, there's no one in the Fourth Town Guard's Mansion? ”

"Yes, there was no response from the Fourth Town Guard when Gaga's and I were clearing mine interference, and our communication request was not answered, and at 5:50 a.m., when Ga and I successfully landed at the Town Guard's Mansion, there was no one above"

Lilan's brows furrowed a little, and Eugen next to him couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw this scene.

Ran away?

It's impossible, not to mention that the admiral of the Fourth Town Guard Mansion doesn't know Long Xiang's whereabouts at all, even if he does, it is impossible for him to think that his party will directly "reverse" for a ship girl.

There should have been plans to retreat a long time ago......

The answer he received from Akagi's mouth also confirmed Rilan's conjecture.

"You mean facilities and resources? The facilities are basically complete, but the resources are ......."

If it was to avoid the surprise attack of himself and others, it would be absolutely impossible to leave all the facilities on the Fourth Town Guard Mansion intact, and at least the signal tower would have to be destroyed, otherwise this kind of "capital enemy" behavior would not be justified.

Presumably there would be other functions in the future, or waiting for other troops to transport, so they simply stayed here, and a large circle of mines around it was arranged to prevent the other town guards from going up to make any small moves in the meantime - in this way, it all made sense.

However, in the dark, Lilan still felt that he had overlooked something......

Shaking his head, the current situation doesn't allow him to think about it so much, maybe there will be a large number of pursuers from the Northern Continent in the next second, and now every second counts!

"I see, stay on guard for the time being, and I'll talk about it when I arrive"

Cutting through the communication channel with Akagi, Rilan ordered the entire fleet: "All men, go in the direction of 3 o'clock - be careful not to cross the distance between you and the 4th town guard, there are a large number of mines ...... there"

Considering the "undisciplined" elements in the fleet, Li Lan had to emphasize to Long Feng additionally: "Long Feng, you are familiar with the environment here, look at them a little"

"Yes, Long Feng understands"

Looking back at the fleet's Otoshima wind, the ship's mother, who accepted the first mission from Lilan, couldn't help but beat a little in her heart: "No problem...... Probably"
