Chapter 180: Point in Time
Although it is said that there are five lines of defense in the rear, not all of them are like the last "strange" physical defense line.
I don't know what role it can play as far as Rilan observed, but the resources consumed just for routine maintenance are not a small amount.
Under the leadership of the four gods in front of him, and the pass pass that Kawana had obtained from the governor before leaving, Satoran was told that he had entered the area where the sixth line of defense was located, without even seeing a single figure.
Knowing this, Lilan was immediately dumbfounded.
-- In order to hide the traces of his own group, it is also difficult for him.
Starting from the sinking of the Fourth Town Guard Mansion to the Staff of God, until now for nearly three months, the deep sea has relied on an almost overwhelming numerical and resource superiority, all the way from the front of the Eastern Front, that is, the sea area where the fifteenth line of defense is located, to the sixth line of defense, and now, almost more than two-thirds of the neutral sea area has been declared.
And the sixth line of defense is not even 400 km away from the northern continent......
By the time the field fleet arrived at the front, it was close to midnight.
―――――― Split ――――――
"It's 142km to the nearest makeshift repair point, Lord Admiral, are you going to keep going?" As he spoke, Akagi looked worriedly at his admiral.
Raising his left hand, borrowing a faint ball of light suspended above his palm, Li Lan looked at the sea map on the table, his brows furrowed.
After hearing Akagi's question, the hesitation in Rilan's eyes flashed.
"Let's stop first, I'm afraid the next part of the road is not easy to walk, and it's still night......"
In night battles, the carrier-based aircraft power of aircraft carriers will be directly weakened by more than half because of the field of vision. Although he was barely able to dispatch, the battle damage was definitely more than the possible results, and Lilan didn't want the air carriers in the fleet to participate in the night battle unless necessary.
Speaking of which, the reason for the current situation of being unable to advance or retreat is also because of himself and the captain of the Seventh Divine Ji team.
If I had known it was so close. Li Lan said that he would not pick the time to set off.
The white god thought that the field fleet would move forward at a relatively normal speed - about 18 knots, and when it arrived at this place, it should be close to dawn, and there was no concern if she continued to move forward, but she did not expect that the field fleet would be dispatched with high-speed ships with a speed of more than 30 knots, and for the sake of the later battle plan, it would move at close to full speed.
The Seventh Squad's Shinji has almost zero experience in joint operations with the ship's mother, and when they fly into the sky, they all have a concept of the speed of the ships below - very slow.
Let a goddess with an average speed of 800 km/h compare the difference between the speed of 15 knots and the speed of 30 knots?
It's also a battle with the deep sea.,Compared to a union.,It's more like two separate combat systems between Shenji and Ship Girl.。
Of course, in the "assumptions" of the two of them. The fleet's arrival at this point turned out to be quite bad.
If we move forward, it is likely that more than one bathyscaping fleet is patrolling the way to the trimming point, according to the information provided on the map of the sea area.
It is even more impossible to retreat -- time simply does not allow it, and if it were a day at night, perhaps the precarious sixth line of defense would collapse completely, and then lead to a direct rout of the armies on both sides under the chain reaction, and no one could afford the consequences.
After Rylan accepted the invitation, the Governor gave one last order directly to the defending forces in front of him before communications were cut off by the deep sea: hold out for five days. Retreat immediately after five days!
And now, it's the last day
Come to think of it. Lilan said helplessly: "Prepare, continue to move forward in five minutes, Bismarck, Island Wind, Real and Eugen are in the first battle sequence, let King Kong open directly-"
Suddenly remembered that after King Kong opened the mimic ship, the golden barrier that can be called a "special effect". It's almost the best aiming point at night......
“…… Forget it, let her stay between the second and third battle sequences, and if there is an encounter, start the defense immediately"
"Yes, Admiral, those ...... gods"
Hear the word Shenji. The corners of Li Lan's mouth twitched: "...... They'll leave it to me."
Because this negligence was completely caused by the lack of communication between Rilan and the white goddess, it was difficult for Rilan to say anything in this case, but as the culprit of this situation, it was impossible to hide in the ship and rest at such a time.
With the outfit on his back, Li Lan added in his heart: If you don't sleep at night, you won't die!
Five minutes later, as five flames of light rose from above the ship and departed toward the distant sky, the restless fleet set sail again.
―――――― Split ――――――
Speaking of which, this seems to be the first time I have run to the surface of the sea alone at night?
While confirming the condition of the other four gods, Lilan habitually wandered.
After the annihilation of the delusional fleet that survived the death not long ago, the ocean beneath him now seemed to be deeper than any world he had ever experienced before......
"This is MBF-P01, there is no abnormality around~"
A crisp voice came out, and Rilan came back to his senses, and after a word of keeping his guard in reply, the communication channel switched to the black god who was in the other direction...... Remember it's called Alice?
"This is CBS (the code name of the construct, because it is not complete, so Lilan directly substituted the abbreviation of the Boundary Armament, although no one knows its specific meaning except Lilan), report your situation"
"This is BK-0, no anomalies around"
"Received, stay vigilant"
Cutting through the communication, Rilan was once again amazed at the unscientific existence of the Divine Queen.
Not only is it the unimaginable mobility and all-round amphibious combat capability of land, sea and air, but even the communication system is better than the ship's mother, I don't know how many times.
Now, with Lilan as the center, the four gods are spreading in four directions to be on alert, and without relying on other means, the radius of communication distance is still more than 30,000m.
If it were a field fleet before the development of personal communication terminals, I am afraid that the communication capability alone would be completely crushed.
However, that was before the development of a personal communication terminal.
Thinking of this, Lilan directly pressed the communicator: "Akagi, how is the operation of the center?" ”
"It's good, Admiral, do you want to keep the signal going?"
After a moment's hesitation, Lilan still gave up on this tempting proposal - if the signal coverage continued to expand, it was not impossible to reproduce the signal identification and security system of the relay station that operated 24 hours a day, and it was also an enhanced version that could be moved at any time, but considering the service life of this temporary center and the possibility that the signal source could be captured by the deep sea, Lilan had no choice but to give up.
"No, just keep it within a radius of 50,000m" Looking into the distance, the blue color spread from the depths of the pupils little by little.
After the magic power entered the second stage, the effect of the water elemental vision was also relatively improved, even at night, relying on this ability alone, Li Lan could see the blurred outline on the sea surface close to 30,000m away. (To be continued......)
