With the sky filled with carrier-based aircraft, and the fleet itself severely damaged, having lost a large number of carrier ship girls, if the remaining Abyssal Commander were to make a move, their fleet would likely be wiped out in an instant...
Thinking of this, the fleet captain felt a chill run through his body.
Surprisingly, as time ticked by, the numerous carrier-based aircraft that were circling overhead did not launch an attack, but instead hovered together, buzzing in the air.
The fleet captain had no time to think about why; she could only seize the rare opportunity and do her best to organize the dilapidated fleet together. Then, she led her still-combat-ready teammates to launch a volley at the enemy bombarding the fleet in the distance.
Rumble rumble rumble —
The salvo launched by the hundred-man fleet was terrifying in its power.
Amid a series of booming sounds, hundreds of shells, trailing long streaks of fire, hurtled toward their target.
The sound of continuous explosions emanated from the deep-sea base.
"It hit?!" The fleet captain's eyes lit up with joy. This time, the hundred-man fleet's counterattack, which seized the opportunity, seemed to have worked very well.
But soon, the fleet captain's surprised expression froze.
The smoke from the distant volley of bullets dissipated.
Two deep-sea figures in the distance still stood on the water's surface, coldly and ruthlessly raising their cannons in this direction.
"Ha—hiss—"
The fleet captain gasped. She was about to issue another order when, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of two other Deep Sea Deans.
Subsequently.
It was like a curtain call.
The carrier-based aircraft, which had been hovering motionless in the sky, roared in fury, and a dense rain of bombs fell from the sky, instantly covering the entire fleet.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble ———
The dense bombs bombarded the entire fleet from head to tail.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble ———
It seemed endless and boundless.
The Mu family's Ninth Fleet endured a full-force bombardment that lasted for twenty minutes.
Countless bullets rained down on the fleet, and the hundred-man squadron struggled to dodge them, but their numbers were dwindling at an alarming rate.
This is... the most direct difference in firepower.
The meeting will end in twenty minutes.
After launching the final bombardment, the two Abyssal Deans stood on either side of the battlefield. The black and blue Abyssal carrier-based aircraft occupied the sky, and the two Abyssal Deans who were firing at the distance were also slowly approaching the fleet. The sea was full of the fallen figures of ship girls and fragments of ship equipment. Only five or six Mu family ship girls, covered in wounds, supported their bodies.
The fleet captain looked ahead in despair as the Deep Sea Deans on his left and right gradually approached him.
A large amount of deep-sea energy swept towards the Mu family fleet as the Deep Sea Deans approached.
"I can't... I can't hold on any longer..."
The fleet captain clutched his ears, knelt on the water, gritted his teeth, and prepared to send news of the defeat back to headquarters through the admiral network.
But at that moment, the buzzing sound of carrier-based aircraft rose from the sea behind the fleet captain.
The fleet captain froze, still in the action of transmitting information, and turned around blankly to look behind her.
Before her appeared a colorful sky.
Those are... seemingly endless B-25 fighter jets!
Under the colorful sky, figures appeared one after another.
"Comrades in the Allied Fleet, thank you for your previous efforts. Your efforts have not been in vain. Now you can rest."
"Newbie Town Hall, join the battle now!"
Lexington's reassuring voice traveled across mountains and rivers to reach the fleet captain's ears.
In the fleet captain's eyes, the fleet of the rookie naval base was like a sharp knife, rushing towards him.
At the very front of the fleet.
Akagi raised his palm and pointed to the sky.
"Now is the time for a surprise attack!"
The colorful sky lit up after those words, and countless colorful bombers transformed into a long dragon, crashing fiercely into the deep-sea stronghold.
Boom boom boom boom boom————
The novice naval base's carrier-based aircraft group plunged headlong into the deep-sea deans' deep-sea carrier-based aircraft group amidst a burst of light.
In an instant, a large number of deep-sea carrier-based aircraft fell into the water.
In the blink of an eye, the ship girls of the newbie naval base arrived beside the Mu family fleet. Under the cover of carrier-based aircraft, several ship girls gently patted the fleet captain on the shoulder and whispered, "Well done." Finally, the entire newbie naval base fleet swept straight past the Mu family fleet and rushed towards the Deep Sea Dean deep within the base.
Bang bang bang bang————
Before long, the sound of artillery fire rose from the depths of the stronghold.
The sea has calmed down.
The battered and bruised fleet captain knelt on the water, looking at the flames deep within the stronghold, and let out a long sigh.
"Admiral...we did it...we...held on until reinforcements arrived..."
After whispering the last message to the command post, the fleet captain finally relaxed, collapsed onto the water, and sank to the bottom with a gurgling sound.
……
Inside the command post.
Covered in sweat and with bloodshot eyes, Mu Chenglin jumped up excitedly.
"Ninth Fleet! Ninth Fleet has succeeded!" Mu Chenglin shouted excitedly, patting the ground beside him. "Admiral Lu Lin! The Ninth Stronghold has been liberated! Did you see that? The Ninth Stronghold has been liberated!!!"
Because Mu Chenglin also had to command the remaining eight strongholds at the same time, he didn't have a chance to look in Xiaobai's direction.
The excitement lasted only a few seconds for Mu Chenglin before being overwhelmed by the even heavier pressure of command. Mu Chenglin quickly returned to his previous tense state, continuously issuing command after command to the admiral network.
The ship girl next to Mu Chenglin was holding a mountain of documents and looking at the empty command center.
The ship girl was puzzled.
"Where did Admiral Lu Lin go...?"
……
"Ouch—I've—been—taken—down—!"
Surrounded by the newbie naval ship girls, Kamikaze spread her arms and lay down on the water, looking peaceful.
"Your acting is so bad it's beyond praise, Ms. Kamikaze."
Savoy squatted on the water's surface, propping his chin on one hand, mercilessly mocking Kamikaze.
"Hey! Savoy! What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and get knocked down like me!" Kamikaze on the water waved at Savoy, "If others see this, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings!"
"It's cold on the water, what if I get my clothes wet? You're here, that's all that matters." Savoy snorted, sat directly on the ship's rigging, and flew off into the depths of the sea. "I'm going back to the deep-sea city to find Super Yamato and Deep-Sea Yamato, don't come looking for me."
"Ugh—" Kamikaze sat up, cursing at the sky, "With this kind of work ethic, you'll never get paid at the end of the month, you bastard! Go back to the naval base and wait to write a self-criticism!!!"
Chapter 2226 Clearing the Stronghold Tomb
Shenfeng angrily raised his middle finger at Savoy's departing figure and launched into a three-minute performance of a traditional Chinese sea culinary art.
For a moment, the sea was filled with Kamikaze's heartbroken and indignant curses.
The rookie naval ship girls quickly stopped Kamikaze.
"Hey, Kamikaze-sensei, stop!"
"Sister Kamikaze, forget it."
"There's no need, Kamikaze-nee, there's really no need..."
"It's too loud! It's too loud!"
It took the ship girls a lot of effort to calm Kamikaze down.
"None of the ship girls in the Mu family fleet and Haoding Naval Base are awake right now, so they don't need to perform anymore..."
"Huh? What? The audience's all gone?" Kamikaze, having calmed down, listened to the conversation of the ship girls beside her. Curious, she looked towards the battlefield and, sure enough, saw only ruins. Even the few ship girls from the Mu family fleet who had been conscious earlier had all fainted on the water after witnessing the rookie naval base defeat them.
Kamikaze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So... I should have successfully completed the mission, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
The ship girls all gave Kamikaze a thumbs up.
The ship girls had barely finished speaking.
For a time, the internet was filled with praise like "Kamikaze-neechan is amazing" and "Kamikaze-neechan did a great job."
However, before Kamikaze could become complacent, a series of hearty laughs suddenly rang out from deep within the base.
"Hahahaha!"
Before the laughter had faded, Hindenburg, holding Barbarossa's hand, emerged from the depths of the sea.
When Hindenburg saw the fleet of the newbie naval base, its eyes lit up, and then it pointed to the ship girl at the forefront of the fleet as if it had discovered a treasure.
Ah! Lexington!
Hindenburg skipped and hopped over to Lexington, gesturing wildly with both hands in the air.
"Lexington! I had so much fun! I want to play more!" Hindenburg exclaimed excitedly. "Should we keep playing? Should we keep playing? I want to play more! I want to play more!!"
"Hindenburg, the fleet still has things to do." Barbarossa pressed down on the excited Deepsea Hindenburg's head and bowed slightly to Lexington. "Sorry, that's just how she is."
"It's alright." Lexington waved her hand with a smile. She looked at Hindenburg in the Deep Sea and asked, "Even among the Dean of the Deep Sea, there are few children as pure as you. How about this, after we finish our work today and return to the naval base, we'll arrange an exercise with the ship girls for you? We have quite a few people at the naval base, so we guarantee you'll have a great time."
"Really?!"
“Yes, I promise. But until then, you must stay in the deep-sea city and wait for us to return.” Lexington extended his little finger to Hindenburg in the deep sea and smiled. “It’s our agreement, okay?”
"Yay!" Deepsea Hindenburg, afraid that Lexington might change his mind, quickly hooked his little finger with Lexington's. "Pinky promise! It's a date!"
Lexington hooked his little finger around Hindenburg's and shook it.
"Barbarossa! Let's go back quickly!" Deepsea Hindenburg, having obtained a promise from Lexington, grabbed Barbarossa's arm and started shaking it. It's a good thing Deepsea Hindenburg doesn't have a tail; if she did, everyone thought her tail would be wagging excitedly behind her right now.
"..." Barbarossa patted Hindenburg's head and nodded his thanks to Lexington.
"Barbarossa and Kamikaze, you should go back and rest. We'll take care of the cleanup here." Lexington put down his hand and said to Barbarossa and Kamikaze, "Remember not to run into any other fleets on your way back."
"Don't worry," Barbarossa said.
"Time to go home, time to go home." Kamikaze stretched out his arms and waved to the ship girls. "Then the rest of the work is up to you!"
"Goodbye, Kamikaze-neechan!" The ship girls of the newbie naval base waved goodbye.
After watching the four abyssal deans leave, the ship girls of the newbie naval base returned to the position of the Mu family fleet. They hurriedly pulled the Mu family fleet captain, who had sunk into the water, and put a quick repair device on her head.
The captain of the Mu family fleet recovered from his injuries quickly and awoke in a daze.
"Enemy forces...enemy forces..." The captain of the Mu family fleet opened her eyes and saw herself surrounded by ship girls from the rookie naval base. She groggily asked the ship girls in front of her, "What's the situation...?"
"Rest assured, the enemy has been completely annihilated." Lexington smiled and handed several rapid repair devices to the Mu family's fleet captain. "The fleet of the newbie naval base is preparing to head to the next deep-sea outpost and cannot stay here with you any longer. Here are the repair resources for you, enough for you to heal a small squad's injuries and escort the entire fleet. Go back to the command post and report. Leave the rest to us."
"Thank you..." The captain of the Mu family fleet reached out and tightly grasped Lexington's hand, his eyes brimming with tears.
“We’re all comrades, this is what we should do,” Lexington said with a smile.
After calming down the captain of the Mu family fleet, Lexington stood up.
The rookie naval girls swarmed forward.
"Lexington, which outpost are we going to next?"
“Hmm… According to the plan, we should go to the seventh base, which is under the most combat pressure among the remaining bases. However, the situation at the second base is also somewhat worrying…” Lexington nodded and smiled at the ship girls behind her. “Hmm, it’s decided. Let’s go to the second base first.”
"Alright!" The ship girls responded in unison.
The fleet of the newbie naval base transformed into a long dragon, leaving the ninth base and speeding straight toward the second base.
At this moment, inside the second stronghold, Deep Sea Musashi was engaged in a fierce battle with the Mu family fleet.
On the surging sea, the ship-mounted cannons behind Deep Sea Musashi roared incessantly, and one huge iron ball after another was ejected, smashing fiercely towards the Mu family fleet.
