Chapter 374: Walking One's Own Path

"How do you see Donghuang's situation this time, senior Yue Ke Cheng?" Aisaikesi looked at Qin Ge and the others talking below the command ship, and said to Yue Ke Cheng beside her.

"According to Enterprise's information, the Siren Tide situation Donghuang faces this time is no less than what we White Eagle have experienced." Yue Ke Cheng said to Aisaikesi.

"No less than?" Aisaikesi froze, not reacting.

"Hehe, I've been reading some books about Donghuang culture lately; this line is from that book, meaning that Donghuang's Siren Tide this time is more severe than what we White Eagle have encountered." Yue Ke Cheng said with a smile.

"Is that so." Aisaikesi nodded, then asked, "How is our White Eagle's situation now? Does Enterprise senior have anything to say?"

Yue Ke Cheng laughed, "Our White Eagle remains the same as before, with Enterprise personally taking command and joining the battle. These past few days, all factions are the same; perhaps once the Siren Tide here in Donghuang settles, our White Eagle's situation will be the same too."

Aisaikesi nodded, somewhat displeased, and said, "Actually, instead of staying here in Donghuang, I'd rather go fight side by side with Enterprise senior."

"Hehe, Aisaikesi, you never stop talking whenever you bring up Enterprise." Yue Ke Cheng smiled.

"Ah, no." Aisaikesi quickly waved her hands.

Yue Ke Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, Enterprise also mentioned this issue to me; you, as our junior, are excellent, but perhaps the brilliance of my outstanding sister overshadowed you, leaving you now somewhat confused."

"That's why we two were sent to Donghuang this time; one purpose is naturally to contact Commander Qin Ge, record his growth trajectory, and obtain from him something beneficial to White Eagle."

"The second purpose is to let you become independent. Aisaikesi, your strength is not inferior to Enterprise's, and in some aspects it's even stronger."

"So you need to be confident; the future of White Eagle belongs to you all, not just Enterprise, understand?"

"Senior Yue Ke Cheng..." Aisaikesi froze, she hadn't expected that coming to Donghuang with Yue Ke Cheng would have such deep meaning.

"Do I feel a bit lost?"

"Thinking back to when I was in White Eagle, although I was the lead ship of the Aisaikesi-class aircraft carrier, I always followed the path set by Enterprise senior, taking Enterprise senior as my goal."

"Going on like that, I seemed to no longer be walking my own path, but merely existing as a follower, as a witness."

"Perhaps Enterprise senior wants to change my current situation? That's why only Senior Yue Ke Cheng was allowed to contact her, not letting me report together."

"Enterprise's intentions are sincere; I hope you, Aisaikesi, can understand. Donghuang is a completely new environment; here it will become the focal point of the Nine Major Factions, a very suitable place for training."

"Therefore, during this time you must find your future direction; only then can your awakening continue, and you can truly become capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with my radiant sister." Yue Ke Cheng said.

"I understand, senior Yue Ke Cheng; I will definitely strive." Having said this, how could Aisaikesi not understand?

"Since all this is Enterprise senior's expectation, as the lead ship of the Aisaikesi-class, I naturally must bear this expectation. Not only as Enterprise senior's junior, but more importantly as the elder sister of the numerous Aisaikesi-class aircraft carriers."

"Just as Yue Ke Cheng and Aisaikesi were talking, Qinglong appeared at the port with dozens of shipgirls."

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Qin Ge." Qinglong said to Qin Ge, then raised his head and nodded at Yue Ke Cheng and Aisaikesi on Qin Ge's command ship.

"I haven't waited long; Director Qinglong is much faster than I imagined." Qin Ge smiled.

"Hehe, then let's set off; let's head to the front early to begin tactical deployment." Qinglong said to Qin Ge.

"No problem, then is Director Qinglong going to follow our Grand Fleet?" Qin Ge asked Qinglong.

"Of course not; our Maritime Affairs Bureau has its own command ship." Qinglong said.

"Hearing Qinglong's answer, Qin Ge immediately recalled the luxurious command ship from the Commander Academy earlier; presumably the Maritime Affairs Bureau's command ship is the same as that of the Commander Academy, otherwise it couldn't accommodate so many shipgirls."

"Alright, after we board the command ship we'll set off together." Qin Ge said to Qinglong.

"Okay, then we'll meet again after disembarking." Qinglong said.

"After saying that, Qinglong led those shipgirls of the Maritime Affairs Bureau toward the deeper part of the port. Meanwhile, Qin Ge also ordered his Grand Fleet members and shipgirls, each to board their own command ships."

"As the command ships slowly started up, with Qin Ge's command ship leading, a fleet of command ships slowly left the docked pier and sailed out of the Maritime Affairs Bureau's port."

"After briefly mooring at the port, we saw a huge command ship slowly sailing out of the Maritime Affairs Bureau's port; the flag flying above it was the dragon banner representing the Donghuang faction."

"Qin Ge immediately realized this was the Maritime Affairs Bureau's command ship; he then ordered his shipgirls to sound their whistles as a signal, and then joined with that huge command ship, merging into a formation, and proceeded toward the front."

"After traveling for about two and a half hours, a small island appeared before everyone; as they slowly approached the island, they also heard the sound of naval guns and explosions on the sea surface."

"The Sirens' attacks have never ceased; however, this is merely the earlier scattered attacks, and the truly intense assault has not yet arrived."

"Through communication with Qinglong, the vessels of the Star Sea Grand Fleet, like those of other grand fleets, are temporarily drifting on the sea surface, awaiting the next order."

"Only Qin Ge's command ship and the Maritime Affairs Bureau's command ship slowly approached the island, unable to dock at the makeshift pier."

"After quickly disembarking, Qin Ge and Qinglong met up, and under Qinglong's guidance they went together to the forward command headquarters."

"However, when the two entered the command headquarters, they found many shipgirls already standing in front of it, and these all shared an obvious common trait: they were all aircraft carriers."

"Yue Ke Cheng and Aisaikesi, who followed Qin Ge, also found this sight astonishing; why is Donghuang gathering so many aircraft carriers here? Could it be they have some entirely new tactic?"

"After all, White Eagle never lacks aircraft carriers, so their tactics for aircraft carriers have been studied in great depth. Nevertheless, even so, when facing the Siren Tide, coordination is required; it's not just aircraft carriers launching sorties."

"The presence of these aircraft carriers here clearly shows Donghuang is preparing for a battle consisting solely of aircraft carriers. This discovery sparked curiosity in both Yue Ke Cheng and Aisaikesi."
