Jiang Yan didn't expect that it was late at night, and Lexington and Helena hadn't come back yet.

I couldn't contact them at the port of operation, but fortunately, there was no bad omen, and I waited until the early hours of the morning at the port.

"Young master, this is just a reconnaissance mission, I believe Lexington will be measured. ”

Rodney persuaded: "If you send all the shipwives in your family to the resource sea area occupied by the empire, and make up for it in a few days or even a month and a half, wouldn't you have to worry all the time?"

Jiang Yan could only go back to rest in a huff, and when he got up the next day, although he continued to carry out his activities as usual, he was inevitably worried in his heart.

・・・

At the same time, Lisli habitat.

Helena looked at the faintly lit sky and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, there was no danger at night.

Lexington stood up from a flat reef, his golden bracelet swaying, and another group of high-altitude reconnaissance planes flew out.

As time passed, Lexington's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he and Helena began to sail.

It wasn't until noon that he said, "It's okay, let's go back." ”

Helena couldn't help but ask, "Did you find anything?"

"Well, inside and outside, the number of deep-sea perched ships is decreasing, and the number of perched ships found in today's reconnaissance range is relatively small. ”

Lexington noticed the gloomy sea under his feet, and suddenly figured out something, a smile pursed into the corner of his mouth, and said, "You can go back and tell the Admiral the good news." ”

・・・

The news of the return of Lexington and Helena, Karlsruhe immediately informed the Admiral.

Jiang Yan hurriedly went to the supply port, and saw that there was no damage on the two of them, so he relieved himself, and said with a slightly gloomy face: "How did it take so long to complete the task, don't you know that it is dangerous to stay in the deep-sea habitat at night?"

Helena did not dare to unload the ship without the Admiral's orders, and Lexington sank the deck of the aircraft carrier into the water, and had already stepped ashore, saying: "Admiral, it is determined by the situation of the habitat!"

Moreover, the Admiral did not say that he would return that day. ”

"What's going on?" Jiang Yan had no choice but to ask.

"The situation in the habitat is even more outrageous than the information given by the admiral, the number of deep-sea habitat ships is pitiful, and by noon today, it will already take an hour to sail before encountering a deep-sea fleet. Lexington's cool hands clasped the Admiral's arm and said happily: "The deep-sea habitat has begun to disappear. ”

Jiang Yan didn't react for a while.

Lexington added: "Judging from the marginal waters of the habitat today and yesterday, the habitat has begun to shrink inward, and it is judged that in a few days, this deep-sea habitat will disappear." ”

Jiang Yan finally understood, but he couldn't understand the current situation, and asked, "Why is this happening?"

"People don't know!" Lexington pointed his finger at Sakura's lips as he looked thoughtful, and then said, "Admiral, this should have something to do with the Deep Sea Habitat, right?"

Even Lexington couldn't guess that the real cause was actually a storm.

Although Jiang Yan couldn't figure it out, he quickly became excited again, and the disappearance of the deep-sea habitat was the best proof of the eradication of the habitat.

The clean-up task received in the Hall of Merit can be completed.

Not only can the 20,000 units of resources pledged be retrieved, but there are also 100,000 units of resource rewards.

As for leaving a meritorious monument to be recorded in history, Jiang Yan didn't care at all, because there were still about fifty years before the next centennial national sacrifice of the empire.

For the current Jiang family, this time is too long, and they can't afford to wait at all.

・・・

In the next half month, every two days, Jiang Yan sent the ship's mother to the Lisli habitat to complete the reconnaissance mission.

Intelligence is shared with Alice and Layla.

After Alice thought about it, she said goodbye to Jiang Yan very simply, and said generously: "Bastard, Miss Ben is too lazy to bring the remaining resources back, so she will cheapen you." ”

The remaining resources, however, are more than 2,000 units of heavy oil and more than 4,000 units of ammunition, which is a lot of wealth for some ordinary admirals!

Jiang Yan was already a little curious, Alice was the daughter of a family in which empire, and she should still be a very potential one in the family.

Just like the young admirals who fought during the war of the ten admirals of the Yaslan Empire.

It took Alice a few days to complete the ship's installation for her ship, and it was ready early in the morning at the supply port.

Jiang Yan and Laila, who had been here for a few days, of course, came to see them off.

When she came, she was fourteen ships, and when she left, she was also fourteen ships, but several of them have changed their appearances, and the mountain city is no longer the mountain city it used to be, Alice glanced at the direction of the disappeared Lisli habitat with some sentimentality.

Suddenly, he turned around and glanced at Jiang Yan and Leke Xingdu who came with him hatefully, and exclaimed, "Little thief!"

Jiang Yan sneered, Lexington didn't know why Miss Admiral was shaving her with her eyes, and asked the Admiral in a low voice.

Alice looked at Layla again and said, "Miss Slan, please take care of yourself. ”

Although she did not get the guidance of the shooting bell, she learned a lot of things during this expedition, and she gained valuable experience in actual combat in the field.

If she returns to the academy again, she believes that her position as the number one in the practice victory rate will definitely be more stable.

Layla said gracefully, "I wish you a smooth journey." ”

"Goodbye. ”

Carrying Alice on board from the mountain city, the fleet slowly departed into the distance, and finally disappeared into the sea near the port of operation.

"Brother Jiang Yan, shouldn't we also go back to the imperial capital?" Layla said with a sly smile on her little face: "If Layla is not mistaken, Brother Jiang Yan seems to have taken on a habitat clearing mission, and if you go back this time, you can get a good reward." ”

Jiang Yan scratched his head, it was okay if others didn't know, in front of Leila, a person who knew the inside story, he couldn't pretend to be profound, so he could only say: "Her Royal Highness the princess also knows that the retreat of the deep-sea habitat ship this time is a bit inexplicable, and it is almost unearned for me." ”

"Hee-hee. Layla was happy that this incident had become a shared secret between her and Jiang Yan's brother.

On the other hand, I knew in my heart that it must not be so simple.

Brother Jiang Yan did not hesitate to attack the depths of the deep-sea habitat in the thundercloud weather, and when he met them, the Jiang family's shipwrecks were even more collectively broken, and Rodney ran out of ammunition, something must have happened inside, which directly or indirectly led to the collective retreat of the deep-sea habitat ships.

Jiang Yan said: "Although the habitat of Lisli has faded, it is difficult for me to submit a mission before it completely fades, so I still need to continue to reconnoitre." ”

"After confirming the situation, the Jiang family's fleet will pack up and leave, Her Royal Highness the princess should leave first, it's just a waste of time here. ”

Layla didn't care and said, "It's not too many days, when the time comes, Layla will go back with Brother Jiang Yan." ”

Immediately, the cute stuck out her tongue and said, "Actually, I want Brother Jiang Yan's ship girls to escort Layla together." ”

Then how did you dare to go on the expedition with twelve ships?

Jiang Yan was speechless in his heart, knowing that it was not good to shirk it, after all, Layla's identity was an imperial princess, and she also had the rank of rear admiral in the imperial navy.
