"Retreat" Facing the pair of eyes in front of him, Lilan was silent for a long time, and finally could only give such an answer.

As if trying to convince himself, Rilan continued: "After this battle, I believe that the deep sea side will also realize our strength, and the possibility of allowing us unstable factors to continue to operate freely in this 'enemy-occupied area' is quite low, and now that the main force of the fleet has been transferred to the north, the only one who has the ability to catch up with and annihilate us in a short period of time is the fleet in the north......

Before Lilan could finish speaking, the first opponent had already stood up: "I'm against it!" ”

The white armor on his body hadn't had time to be lifted, and his slightly pale face proved that the state of this Shenji squad leader was not much better, however, even in this case, Lijie was still unwilling to leave like this: "If that fleet goes directly to the west, the defense behind the Federation will not be able to resist their attack at all!" ”

"Admiral, can Akagi speak?"

Looking at his secretary ship in surprise, it was also damaged, but Akagi, who was slightly broken, had not been affected much, so he was able to participate in this temporary meeting normally.

Although he was surprised by Akagi's sudden statement, Rilan nodded in agreement, and he had no reason to refuse.

"Before deciding whether or not to stay, Akagi hopes that this Miss Shenji can consider the state of everyone at the repair point" is almost the exact opposite of the respectful attitude he had when facing Rilan, and his sharp gaze looked at the Shinji girl opposite, Akagi's tone was cold that Rilan had never felt before.

"Not only the fleet, but also the Battlelord forces have reached their limits, or is Miss Lijie confident that she can deal with a fleet by herself, and even if there are unconventional warships in it?"

"We still have—"

"Alice and Miss Mina? It's a pity. They haven't recovered yet, and their energy reserves are less than 50%, so even in this situation, do you want them to keep fighting? ”

If they were allowed to continue fighting in this state, it would already be considered murder...... Premeditated murder.

The words choked, and the girl's clenched arms trembled slightly. But the cruel status quo in Akagi's mouth made her heart cold.

Not to mention whether staying will stop that fleet, or even-

"With all due respect, Lord Admiral, if we can't evacuate the repair point within 60 minutes, I'm afraid we don't even know if we can evacuate to the Hell Islands area."

stopped Akagi's move to "add fuel to the fire", although she understood that her words were to reduce the difficulty of convincing Lijiete, but the description of the current situation on the repair point still made Rilan's heart more and more heavy.

The current fleet is in a very bad state - even worse than Akagi's description.

In addition to a large number of damaged warships and wounded shipwives, the equipment loss of the battle queen troops is also close to the limit. They were supposed to have a special construction department, but they had already been lost when they fled to this enemy from the north, and the previous battle was still managed to successfully complete the equipment that could be used.

As the ultimate weapon against unconventional deep-sea ships, the electromagnetic cannon is also unusable, and the barrel under load use has been dissolved by the high temperature without accident, and the magic array above is naturally not spared, even if it continues to be forcibly used, it will greatly reduce the accuracy and power, and most importantly, the electrical energy used as an electromagnetic weapon energy source has been left in that attack.

Plus an unexpected amount of destruction of carrier-based aircraft. Even if all the aluminum resources on the trimming point are put into conversion, the number of carrier-based aircraft still cannot exceed 500. In this case, not to mention dealing with the deep-sea fleet, even whether it can successfully retreat to the Hell Islands area has become a problem.

Taking a deep breath, Rilan made the final decision: "After 30 minutes, retreat in the direction of the Hell Islands!" ”

"Wait, we're—" The Divine Maiden tried to make a final effort. But judging from that low tone, I'm afraid she has already accepted this decision in her heart, right?

Lilan sighed in his heart: "...... Rest assured, we're not just going to retreat without saying a word."

"What do you mean, Lord Admiral?"

Cast a smile at Akagi, who realized something: "At least before leaving, leave a 'big gift' for the fleet at the back door...... I don't think they'll like it, though."

Akagi didn't make any doubts. Just nodded lightly and said, "Akagi understands"

"Prepare to go, and the rest can only be said ......"

The tone was stunned: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven"

If there is a goddess of fate in this world, and her eyes are set here.

―――――― Split ――――――

With the assistance of the battle queen, the battleship was urgently repaired - naturally, it was impossible to repair it completely like Rilan, and at most it was only to prevent the leaking cabin from leaking.

After that, the entire fleet departed from the coast south of the makeshift trimming point and headed for the Hell Islands to the south.

About seven hours after the fleet left, at dusk, the pitch-black steel behemoth appeared from the north of the sea illuminated by the remnant sun, and approached the trimming point at an average speed of 35 knots.

When there was still a distance of 100,000 meters from the trimming point, the deep-sea habitat ship of the ship, which far exceeded the length and height of the battleship next to it, and the dense black spots like locusts spread out from above without warning--if Lilan was here, he would definitely let out an exclamation, a desperate exclamation.

If the carrier-based aircraft offensive composed of all the current aircraft carriers of the field fleet: Akagi, Saratoga, Longfeng, and Longxiang under Gaga's mimic ships can be called "overwhelming", then the group of carrier-based aircraft that obscures the last ray of sunlight in the entire sky in front of them is enough to be called "destroying the world and destroying the earth."

An unknown number of black mechs swept across the sea from 100,000 meters away and roared directly towards the trimming point.

Then, at the moment when the light was about to fade and the darkness was about to fall, the fierce flames and strong light almost lit the entire trim into a torch, even in the sea hundreds of thousands of meters away, you could clearly see the fire that rose into the sky.

"Did you run away......

Above the huge battleship, she muttered to herself as she looked at the trimmed girl with her golden eyes.

"...... that won't let you run away"

Against the backdrop of flames and explosions, the entire trimming point fell apart. (To be continued......)
