This also shows just how blindly Nia and Luo Lian believed in Xiao Bai.
Even though Xiaobai produced a map from six months ago, as long as she said it was fine, Luo Lian wouldn't have any questions.
Nia was even more direct; the moment Xiaobai took out the map, she never had a single question from the beginning.
Xiao Bai lowered her head, listening to Luo Lian and Nia's voices while gently pressing her palm on the map on the command platform, revealing a faint smile.
Since Luo Lian and Nia trust him so much, Xiao Bai will certainly not let them down.
Xiaobai certainly knows the timeliness of sea area maps.
It's impossible for Xiaobai to actually pull out a map from six months ago.
In fact, the 8-2 sea area map that Xiaobai is showing is not the one she used half a year ago when she was exploring the sea area. It is a map that she asked Barbarossa and Chaodahe to redraw in the 8-2 sea area a couple of days ago.
Barbarossa and Super Yamato are both deep-sea creatures. Relying on the aura of the Deep Sea Masters, they can move freely on the sea. Barbarossa, as a veteran Deep Sea Master of Chapter 8, has lived in this sea area for decades or even centuries. She knows the changes in various deep-sea gathering points like the back of her hand. Super Yamato has also left many teleportation points on the surface of Chapter 8. The two of them work together, one responsible for confirming map information and the other for long-distance travel. They are as fast as the wind on the sea of Chapter 8. In just two nights, they have perfectly obtained a detailed map of the 8-2 sea area.
Chapter 2719 Opening Sequence Completed!
We obtained the map of the 8-2 sea area in two nights.
If the efficiency and results of this map-making were casually shared with others, it would probably cause a sensation in the city of Chapter Eight.
Even if we tell Luo Lian and Nia directly, it will probably shock them quite a bit.
After all, even if the other eighth chapter naval bases tried their best, it would take them nearly a month to barely draw a rough map of the 8-1 sea area. Not to mention powerful naval bases like the top ten naval bases, who have only managed to push to the 8-3 sea area since the eighth chapter was opened. This also shows that it would take them at least one to two weeks to draw a map.
The newbie naval base is indeed the strongest.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but smile sweetly.
I'll have to treat Megawara and Barbarossa well later, especially Barbarossa, she helped me a lot this time...
"Xiao Bai." Just as Xiao Bai was deep in thought, a voice called out to her, waking her up.
"Hmm?" Xiaobai looked at Luo Lian and Nia.
The two had already discussed their route for conquering the sea. They walked to the map, pointed to the starting point of the sea area, and began to move their fingers towards the end point.
“Xiaobai, Luo Lian and I discussed it, and we decided that after setting off from the beach, we'll first have the ship girls come to this deep-sea gathering point. After we clear this gathering point, we'll go to the rest point behind to recuperate, and finally, we'll come here via this route that involves three consecutive battles…” Nia’s slender finger traced a long curve on the map, eventually reaching the end of the sea area. “This route should be the most balanced choice considering both difficulty and length. What do you think, Xiaobai?”
"Hmm? The route?" Xiaobai blinked and nodded without thinking. "I think it's pretty good."
Newbies won't understand the walkthrough.
The newbie just charges in recklessly.
When it comes to finding strategy guides, you might as well show them the ship girls from Xiaobai's ship girl collection, and they'll be more knowledgeable than Xiaobai.
Even if Xiaobai doesn't understand it, he has enough faith in Luo Lian and Nia's abilities. Since it's a strategy route summarized by these two people using their own maps, even if it can't be said to be the theoretically perfect route, it's definitely one of the optimal routes.
"Let's proceed according to what you've said," Xiaobai said with a smile to Luo Lian and Nia.
“Okay~” Nia nodded happily and smiled at Xiaobai, “Hehe, thanks to Xiaobai’s sea map, we’ve saved a lot of time and resources exploring the sea.”
"Speaking of which, why did you only bring out this map today?" Luo Lian asked curiously.
"Well, of course, it's because good things should be brought out at the right time." Xiaobai held up a finger and stuck out her tongue at the two people in front of her.
This was a joke made by Xiaobai.
The reason why the map of the 8-2 sea area is only being released now is simply because it was drawn by Barbarossa last night.
The discussion about the map has ended.
Soon, outside the tent, the ship girls were ready to set off.
Nia stepped out of the tent and conveyed the map and final strategy to her ship girls. Although the ship girls, led by Veneto, were shocked, they later realized that it was Xiaobai's doing and expressed their understanding and accepted the reality.
Nia chose the same ship girl team for this expedition as she did yesterday.
This time, Xiaobai's ship girl team has not been reduced in terms of the number of members going on the expedition. On the contrary, she has added Richelieu. So even if she adds Jean Bart, who is not usually seen, she can still form a six-person ship girl team on the surface.
After the ship girls were ready, they waved to the tents on the beach and then stepped onto the sea one after another, heading towards the 8-2 sea area.
……
The ship girls from Xiaobai's family and Nia's family gradually moved away from the beach. ...
As the ship girls sailed onward, the beach behind them grew farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, until it seemed to sink into the dark water. As the beach disappeared, layers of light black mist rose around the ship girls, obstructing their vision and limiting their previously excellent field of vision to the edge of the battle range.
"The deep-sea fog in area 8-2 is a bit deeper than that in area 8-1..." In Nia's fleet, Taihou, with her black hair, looked around, frowned slightly, and covered her mouth, revealing a sense of discomfort. "Hmm... No matter how many times I've fought against the Abyssal Fleet, I still can't get used to the deep sea... Sigh, compared to here, the Commander's room is definitely more comfortable..."
"Empire, Rome, are you two settling in well?" Veneto turned to his two sisters and asked.
"...I feel unwell." The Empire nodded.
"I'm fine, thank you for your care, Sister Veneto." Although Roma looked a little uncomfortable, he quickly regained his composure and bowed to Veneto as he spoke.
“Rome and Empire, you are both newly born ship girls. It’s quite a challenge for you to experience the eighth chapter’s sea area right from the start, let alone participate in the final sea area conquest.” Littorio turned around and said to Empire and Rome behind him with concern, “So you should be more conservative in the battle later. Today’s battle is mainly for learning and experiencing. Look at me and Veneto more often, or look at the ship girls in Admiral Lu Lin’s family more often.”
"Yes." The Empire nodded.
“Okay.” Rome nodded.
Littorio was relieved to see his two sisters nod.
The fleet sailed according to the information on the map and soon arrived at the location of the first deep-sea gathering point marked on the map.
The moment everyone stepped into the deep-sea gathering point, black sea fog instantly rose up from all around.
The endless, dark sea fog almost completely covered both the way out and the way back. Dark golden eyes lit up in the fog all around the sea, and wild howls echoed with the waves.
Several towering golden deep-sea behemoths, accompanied by several smaller deep-sea vessels, broke through the mist and appeared before the ship girls.
The golden deep-sea behemoths seemed to possess a passive ability to find vulnerable points. The moment they appeared, their golden, merciless eyes locked onto Rome and the Empire within Nia's fleet of ship girls. Then, cannons rose from the hulls of the golden behemoths, aiming them at Rome and the Empire.
If they were to encounter a truly new ship girl, she would probably be intimidated by the enemy's imposing presence for several seconds upon seeing this scene, thus allowing the Abyssal Fleet to gain the upper hand.
But the ship girls of Nia's family are different.
The moment the giant deep-sea ship locked onto Rome and the Empire, Veneto and Littorio swiftly stood in front of them.
"If you want to mess with my little sister, you'll have to get past me first—" Veneto was just about to raise her ship rigging and shout when the ship girls of Nia's family all went into battle mode.
However, just as Nia's ship girls were about to engage the enemy, an unusually intense bombardment suddenly erupted from behind Nia's fleet.
"Buzz buzz buzz"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Carrier-based aircraft circled overhead, and countless bombs rained down from the sky.
Before the bombs hit, sharp and cunning missiles struck.
Four missiles accurately exploded above the heads of several deep-sea behemoths, creating bursts of sparks. The sturdy deep-sea ship armor shattered into pieces in an instant, but before the deep-sea behemoths could even cry out in pain, bombs rained down on their bodies.
The violent explosion, the terrifying firepower, and the deafening sonic boom shattered the surrounding deep-sea fog.
The golden deep-sea behemoths sank one after another, and countless smaller deep-sea amphibious ships turned to dust.
The ship girls of Nia's family stared in disbelief at the Abyssal fleet, which had perished in a sea of fire before they even had a chance to make a move.
The ship girls from Nia's family all turned around to look.
The ship girls of Xiaobai's family are wearing ship equipment, and traces of gunpowder are still visible on the equipment.
The ship girls of Nia's family remained silent.
Veneto swallowed hard.
She had initially thought she was about to engage in a thrilling battle to protect her sister, but before she could even make a move, the enemies that appeared were instantly wiped out by the rookie naval base's ship girls in a single opening bombardment...
The ship girls in the newbie naval base reacted much faster and used more aggressive tactics than I did, and more importantly, their firepower was much stronger...
The enemy is as fragile as paper in front of the newbie naval base.
This is the Deep Sea Abyss Ship from Chapter Eight...
So disrespectful...
Veneto was filled with mixed feelings.
At that moment, Veneto felt Rome and the Empire subtly poking at his arm.
Veneto looked up and saw that Rome and the Empire were pointing at the ship girls in the newbie naval base, looking at him with longing.
"Sister Veneto, will we be as amazing as them someday?"
"This..." Faced with this question, Veneto didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Veneto looked at the ship girl in the newbie naval base.
The aircraft carriers and missile destroyers of the new naval base felt Veneto's gaze, and they waved in her direction with friendly smiles.
While Veneto was in a daze, a shrill howl of a wild beast came from the sea of fire in front of him.
"Awoooo ...
A massive, charred and severely damaged deep-sea ship desperately broke out of the inferno, its mouth agape, and charged toward Veneto and his companions.
Originally, there were five deep-sea behemoths on the surface of the sea. This one was lucky; after sacrificing four teammates to absorb the firepower, it wasn't instantly destroyed by the rookie naval base's opening attack, but was only severely damaged. However, despite its serious injuries, this deep-sea behemoth didn't try to escape. Instead, it stared at the weaker Veneto and his group with angry and brutal eyes, wanting to use its own body and life to teach Veneto and his companions a lesson they would never forget!
However, before this deep-sea behemoth could even take two steps out of the inferno...
Two loud "bangs" rang out from the direction of the newbie garrison team.
Two meteor-like cannonballs exploded one after the other on the head of the deep-sea behemoth, instantly lifting its wrecked body and sending it tumbling back into the sea of fire.
"Awoooo ...
The mournful howls eventually faded away.
Chapter 2720 Veneto and Little White
The flames burned mercilessly on the sea, and the mournful cries of the deep-sea behemoth were ultimately extinguished in the flames.
With the fall of the last deep-sea behemoth, the battle came to an end.
The entire deep-sea battle lasted only a few seconds from start to finish.
"Veneto, are you alright!" After dealing with the enemy, the rookie naval girls waved and approached the Nia family's ship girls, asking them with concern, "Are you all okay? Did that one that slipped through the net scare you? I'm so sorry... In this kind of opening bombardment gameplay, sometimes one or two enemies just slip through like we did..."
The ship girls from the newbie naval base all wore embarrassed smiles as they spoke.
The ship girls of the new naval base had lovely and friendly smiles, and gentle and pleasant voices. If Veneto and the others hadn't just witnessed it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to connect the thunderous and cruel bombing tactics they had just witnessed with the gentle and friendly ship girls in front of them.
"Um... well, thank you so much..." Veneto looked at the newbie ship girls at the naval base, momentarily speechless. After stammering for a while, she could only manage to squeeze out a word of thanks, "You've been a huge help..."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. We're partners, so this level of support is no problem for us." The ship girls from the newbie naval base waved their hands and said with smiles.
Veneto glanced furtively at the back of the rookie naval base's formation.
The aerial bombardment and missile guidance capabilities displayed by the newly formed naval base were truly phenomenal. However, Veneto is not an aircraft carrier girl and does not have missile capabilities. Therefore, she lacks professional insight into these methods of defeating the enemy. As the saying goes, "a trade is like a mountain," and even if she witnessed the opening bombardment of the newly formed naval base a few more times, due to the difference in ship types, Veneto could not immediately discern any particularly profound technical details. However, compared to the overwhelming opening bombardment and the incredibly accurate missile guidance, the two concise and powerful artillery shots that had just taken down the deep-sea behemoth left a particularly deep impression on Veneto.
Veneto is, after all, a battleship girl, and she is still very sensitive to the display of artillery capabilities.
From Veneto's professional perspective, the timing of those two shells was absolutely perfect. Although they didn't incorporate any ship girl skills, it was precisely because of this that those two shells perfectly demonstrated the solid fundamental skills of artillery-type ship girls.
Simple yet powerful, precise yet swift.
It's like a seasoned hunter lying prone on the snow, his fingers gripping his rifle tightly, his eyes always fixed on what's in front of him. The moment the prey appears in his field of vision, his fingers react with the most correct muscle response before his brain can even react.
Veneto knew that with her current combat experience and strength, even if she were in the same position the rookie naval base had just been in, she wouldn't have been able to fire such a calm and precise perfect shot under those circumstances.
Veneto found the only battleship girl at the rear of the fleet in the newbie naval base.
Richelieu rested one hand lightly on the ship's rigging, her cannons still emitting wisps of white smoke. As if sensing Veneto's gaze, Richelieu subconsciously looked in Veneto's direction.
Are all the battleship girls in the newbie naval base this strong...?
Veneto pondered this in silence.
“…?” Richelieu.
“…” Veneto looked at Richelieu with admiration. “Thank you for the shelling just now.”
"I just did some finishing touches."
“Your artillery demonstration, though small, has taught me a lot. Thank you very much,” Veneto said sincerely.
“…” Richelieu looked away, his face slightly flushed, and subconsciously scratched the blond hair by his ear. “…Well…okay then.”
Looking at Richelieu's humble and friendly attitude, Veneto also looked up at the sky with a sigh.
