Chapter 534: Departure

Immediately after Qin Ge's order was issued, the entire port area sprang into action.

The faces of the passing shipgirls no longer bore their usual smiles, but carried a hint of seriousness. Everyone's steps seemed hurried, some heading toward the warehouse, others toward the harbor.

After about an hour, over a hundred shipgirls had gathered at the harbor, while Qin Ge had already been waiting here for a long time.

"Qin Ge Commander, do we really not need to help this time?" Hao said to Qin Ge.

When Bisimai found them earlier and told them the details, after hearing this information they also felt very surprised.

The first thought in their minds was to immediately report to their own camp, and after waiting for the report to finish, they then wanted to go see for themselves.

Qin Ge shook his head, smiled at Hao, and said, "Thank you very much for your intentions, but this battle is taking place in the sea area we are stationed in, and it is also our own battle."

Moreover, I believe that with the strength of my fleet, as long as we do not encounter existences like the Testers or the Purifiers, we still have a fighting chance.

If we encounter those high-ranking humanoid Sirens, even if you go, it would be a pointless sacrifice. So please just keep watch over the port area; we will return soon.

"This..." Hao gave Qin Ge a deep look, "Alright, then I hope Commander Qin Ge achieves victory this time; if you encounter a situation you cannot resolve, feel free to send us a message."

Qin Ge nodded, "Don't worry, if we really cannot resolve it, we will send you information."

After saying that, Qin Ge turned and said to all the shipgirls standing on the pier, "Everyone board the ship, with my command ship as the flagship, and advance toward the target sea area."

"Yes, Commander!"

With the resounding response, all the shipgirls began walking toward the command ships. Originally there were eight command ships, but due to the previous port area reforms, to allow sufficient use by the commissioned shipgirls, they have now become more than ten.

Therefore, boarding over a hundred shipgirls poses no problem, and moreover, some command ships still have spare space.

Seeing all the shipgirls board the command ships, Qin Ge turned, saluted Hao and the others, then turned and walked toward his own command ship.

With the sounding of the horn, more than ten command ships slowly left the harbor, after forming a fleet formation at sea, they mightily advanced toward the sea area indicated by Cleveland.

Watching the fleet gradually recede, Zala came forward and said, "Do you think they will succeed this time?"

Hao shook his head, "Hard to say, if it's merely the Sirens' openly placed Siren outpost and a fully trained main force fleet, then the fleet led by Commander Qin Ge could destroy them without breaking a sweat.

But I fear the Sirens may ambush something in that sea area that even we have never seen before; after all, you all have seen those photos earlier, and we have never seen such a fleet.

"Can this be understood as the Sirens having already begun to act?" Ganggute said.

"I'm not sure, but the White Eagle camp's sea area currently shows no abnormalities. And the only sea area outside of Commander Qin Ge's jurisdiction that is showing this abnormality would be the free Iris, right?" Yue Ke Cheng said, looking toward Kai Xuan on the side.

Kai Xuan shook his head, "I don't know exactly what happened there, but I have already reported the situation here to the Chief Priest, and I believe they will certainly take action."

"However, I think we cannot afford to relax in the sea areas of our several major camps either. Even if we dispatch more humans to patrol the sea, we must nip this threat in the bud." Shaenhuosite said.

"Indeed."

Meanwhile, as the fleet began to move, the area above Qin Ge's flagship command ship was also bustling and unusual.

Because this command ship is where the command department is located, almost all the strategists of the major camps are here. At this moment, in the cabin, a blue sea area appears on the large tabletop, and Qin Ge, Zhenhai, Tiancheng, and others stand beside the table, planning the next step of tactics.

"It's very strange; there are no islands around this selected location, and the nearest island is very far away, making it nearly impossible to dodge any fleet. Could they want to engage us in a head-on battle on the sea?" Weineituo wondered.

Qin Ge nodded, "Indeed, for such a vast sea area, once entered, the signal points could almost cover the entire field; it seems the Sirens never intended to engage in tactical maneuvering with us, but rather directly want a full-scale battle."

"Cleveland, how many aircraft carriers are there opposite?" Tiancheng asked.

Since following Qin Ge and witnessing the tactics of aircraft carriers, Tiancheng, in all open-area tactics, prioritizes aircraft carrier tactics.

"Because we haven't conducted deep reconnaissance, we are uncertain about the number of aircraft carriers inside; however, during the period we observed, the few ships that came out of the outpost were all battleships and cruisers, and we saw no aircraft carriers." Cleveland replied.

Zhenhai nodded slightly, "Although in open sea areas aircraft carriers do have a certain advantage, if sea fog permeates, their advantage is actually not great, since visibility is obstructed, and at this time the advantage of battleships becomes more evident."

"It seems we will need to contact Shanghai Hai Lun Na later to see what exactly happened during the time Cleveland departed." Qin Ge said to everyone.

"Indeed, that's the case." Several shipgirls nodded; currently, our intelligence on the enemy is limited, and the specific situation must be waited for and then confirmed in practice.

However, the strategy cannot be finalized now, but some ideal plans can still be discussed. And such discussion can also be considered a drill before the start.

Taking into account the possible developments under various factors, we then devise countermeasures, and from this enable the fleet to gain the maximum benefit.

Thus, in this discussion atmosphere, the fleet led by Qin Ge also gradually approached the target sea area.

However, nobody saw that, on the sea surface just traversed by the fleet, a transparent crystal slowly rose from beneath the water, but the crystal only rose a little before quickly vanishing without a trace.

In the void, an ethereal voice seemed to slowly speak.

"Observer, the target has entered the outpost sea area."

"Oh, it seems you truly are unafraid of challenges; then, in that case, you shall entertain our guests well on our behalf. Let me see, under desperate circumstances, what kind of power the fleet he leads can unleash."

"Understood."
