Chapter 305: Victor

After both sides' shipgirls arrived on shore, Qin Ge led his shipgirls toward Carlos, and Carlos also led his shipgirls toward Qin Ge.

The two met in the middle of the two piers, and then Qin Ge reached out his hand and said to Carlos, "I saw your shipgirls' fearless bravery; this is a splendid match."

"Are you mocking me?" Carlos frowned, not taking Qin Ge's hand.

"I don't mean that, because you are not a loser by nature; why would I mock you?" Qin Ge smiled, "For victors, defeat motivates them; for losers, defeat crushes them."

I believe you won't be crushed by this battle, so you are not a loser. Moreover, our road is still long, and I have only gained a temporary lead.

From now on, the Azure Lane belongs to us, so let's work together.

Carlos's brows relaxed, looking at Qin Ge he sighed, "I have today seen what it means to have someone above someone. Though you're right, today's defeat will motivate me, and I will not lose again."

Carlos, from the Vichy Tribunal, this is a splendid duel.

After saying that, Carlos reached out and grasped Qin Ge's right hand, which had already been extended.

Qin Ge also smiled slightly, "Qin Ge, from Donghuang, this is a splendid duel."

The two exchanged a smile, then simultaneously lowered their hands, turned their bodies, and walked back to where they had originally come from.

"How are you? Not discouraged, Carlos?" When Carlos returned to the Vichy Tribunal's camp, Dunkeerk smiled at him.

"No." Carlos quickly shook his head.

"Good, I saw you just finished; Commander Qin Ge came to find you—what did he say to you? Was it mocking words?" Algeria said.

"No, he only said that for victors, defeat is a form of encouragement, hoping I wouldn't be disheartened by this defeat, and that the road ahead is still long." Carlos spoke frankly.

Algeria nodded with a smile, "Not bad; the road ahead for you is still long, so don't dwell on this temporary defeat, believe in yourself."

Moreover, in fact this battle's outcome was decided from the start. Do you think the commanders of the other eight fleets can challenge Qin Ge?

Carlos thought for a while, then weakly shook his head, "I can't imagine anyone facing that assault, and he only deployed six carrier shipgirls against me, while the other shipgirls remained still."

"Yes, this battle Donghuang produced a monster, but from the beginning we didn't intend to contend for anything." Algeria said, "However, if Donghuang wins this battle, perhaps it would also be a good thing for our Vichy Tribunal."

At the very least, Donghuang will not hoard those data like the White Eagle and Royal fleets, keeping them to themselves and refusing to disclose.

"Oh." Facing Algeria's remark, Carlos nodded somewhat bewildered, not understanding why Algeria would say that to him.

"It's fine, go rest for a while." Algeria glanced at Carlos's reaction, then nodded with a smile and said.

"Yes." Carlos gave Algeria a salute, then turned and walked toward his resting place at the rear.

"Sigh." Watching Carlos walk away into the distance, Algeria couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" Dunkeerk asked.

"The gap is somewhat large." Algeria said.

"Hehe, not understanding these things makes him a normal person, right? That Qin Ge, hah, is someone who dares to do business with the eight fleets." Dunkeerk said.

"Too bad he's not one of our Vichy Tribunal people." Algeria, watching Qin Ge far away making preparations, couldn't help but lament.

At this moment, Qin Ge, who was preparing for the next match, involuntarily sneezed.

"What's wrong, Commander? Could it be a cold?" Upon hearing Qin Ge sneeze, Guanghui asked Qin Ge, and the other shipgirls also looked worried.

Qin Ge shook his head, "No, I just feel like someone is thinking of me, but I don't know who. Forget it, let's prepare for the battle at hand."

"Yes." The shipgirls all nodded and said.

Immediately, the second battle also began, and this time Qin Ge faced the host Sakura Empire's commander, Feng Ji Lang.

He possessed two battleships, one heavy cruiser, one destroyer, and one light cruiser, totaling five shipgirls.

Originally, perhaps if he encountered other commanders he might have achieved a good result, after all his two battleship main shipgirls have already reached a very high level of training.

But unfortunately the person he met is Qin Ge, still the same approach as with Carlos. Perhaps saying that under overwhelming combat power, no other tactics are needed.

Over thirty carrier aircraft took off simultaneously, and Feng Ji Lang's shipgirls were judged sunk faster than Carlos's. Because compared to Carlos, his destroyer shipgirls lack the smoke shell skill.

This let Carlos, sitting in the stands watching the battle here, feel a bit better, after all although he was miserable, there was still someone worse off than him.

Thus, Qin Ge also had a record of two wins and two battles, naturally taking first place in this group, and as for Carlos and Feng Ji Lang, there was no need for them to fight another match.

Compared to Qin Ge's side proceeding smoothly, the other two groups were comparatively tense.

Especially the White Eagle, Iron Blood, and Northern Union group, their moves came frequently, appearing extraordinarily splendid.

Because the numbers of shipgirls of the three fleets' commanders are not greatly different, and they are all major fleets, so the commanders' training was very thorough, resulting in this situation.

After enduring battles, still the White Eagle's commander laughed last, while the commanders of the other two fleets were eliminated.

As for the other side, Royal, Free Iris, and Sardinian Empire formation, it was Royal who laughed last.

So after the three groups all decided their winners, the time had already come to the afternoon.

Finally, all fleets' gazes focused entirely on the central drill field. Here, three people stood, they were the victors of each group.

James from White Eagle, Hepburn from Royal, and Qin Ge from Donghuang.

James although only has four shipgirls, but his shipgirls' training is quite high, especially Montpellier and Arizona, as well as Yue Ke Cheng.

Hepburn possesses six shipgirls: two destroyers, Laffey and Xin Yue; one light cruiser, Aidingbao; one heavy cruiser, Pensacola; one battleship, Prince of Wales; and one aircraft carrier, Royal Ark.

However, the two of them now stand beside Qin Ge, perfectly setting off his numerical superiority.
