Chapter 619: Siren Tide, Here Comes!

Under the dark sky, a unit of shipgirls patrolled the calm sea surface.

"Mm, there is no moon tonight, the sea is so dark, I really want to turn on the navigation lights." A younger-looking shipgirl in the squad muttered.

"Fu Te, don't talk nonsense. If we really turned on the navigation lights, we would be a very obvious target on the sea. The commander ordered us to patrol, to be alert for any possible special situation, not to engage in meaningless combat." A red-haired, bespectacled shipgirl hurriedly said.

"Fu Te is just too lazy, Furlete sis, don't worry." A girl with silver-gray hair said with a smile; from her eyes one could see a clever and lively look.

"Hehe, Furlete, you sisters have such a good relationship. If Washington had an obedient little sister like yours, that would be great." A lovely woman in a white naval uniform with golden hair smiled.

Furlete hurriedly looked toward the speaker: 'North Carolina, sorry, I made you laugh.'

"It's fine, I just feel you're not having an easy time." North Carolina smiled.

"There's nothing difficult about it. Although some sisters are mischievous, most are very well-behaved, I'm happy." Furlete said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's true. Watching one's little sister grow up always brings a sense of achievement. However, Washington's temperament is a bit too impulsive; it's fine being by my side, but I worry that one day she might not pay attention and crash into the commander, which would be bad." North Carolina said with some concern.

"Don't worry, North Carolina. Although Washington's personality is straightforward, the commander's character is very good; even if he gets bumped by Washington, he would just laugh it off." Furlete comforted.

"That's right. In my many years of journey as a Free Shipgirl, the commander gave me the feeling of being the most special, so I hesitated not at all in joining his fleet." North Carolina smiled.

Just as the two were speaking, the surrounding sea surface gradually changed; sea fog began to spread, unknown when, although thin, it was indeed happening.

Charles, who was leading, suddenly stopped, forcing those behind to also halt quickly.

"Charles, what's wrong?" Furlete hurriedly asked.

Only seeing Charles quickly turn around and say to everyone, 'Did you see that? Sea fog is rising on the sea surface, and the fog is spreading very quickly; this is not normal for this season.'

As Charles spoke, the others then realized that a thin layer of fog had already enveloped their surroundings.

"This is……" North Carolina's eyes flashed; she recalled the situation encountered earlier near the Mirror Sea by Sun Moon Island: "Micro-layered mixture, it's something the Sirens use to conceal their movements; it seems something is happening."

"Ah! Should we immediately notify the home island?" Furlete exclaimed in surprise.

North Carolina looked at the gradually rising fog and shook her head: 'No need to rush for now; our radar, improved previously by Helena, can now detect enemy ships within the micro-layered mixture.'

So we will now activate the radar, move closer to the outer sea area to scout the enemy ships' scale, so that the information provided to the home island will be complete.

"North Carolina, this is a risky move." Charles said to North Carolina.

But North Carolina gave a slight smile and said to Charles: 'Then, just partner, are you unwilling to go?'

Only seeing Charles hehe laugh: 'The Little Beaver Squad has never feared anything, and justice will surely win!'

"Then, let's set out." North Carolina said.

"Yes."

As the sea fog gradually thickened, North Carolina's patrol unit deviated from the previous route and advanced toward the outer sea area of the home island.

After traveling for a while, North Carolina raised her hand to signal the patrol unit to stop, because at that moment the radar showed dense red dots.

"Hiss, really troublesome." Even Osborn, who fears neither heaven nor earth, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"The distance is closing; Osborn, you'll have to handle the rest from now on—I'm too big a target and not fast enough."

After you finish scouting, return quickly; we'll go back together to the harbor district to report to the commander." North Carolina said.

"Understood, leave it to us." Osborn nodded; she understood North Carolina's meaning. Their current purpose is merely to approach and scout, not to start a battle.

Only seeing Osborn, together with Sa Qie Er, Fu Te, and Furlete, advance into the thick fog ahead, disappearing from North Carolina's sight.

After waiting not long in place, Osborn and the figures of several destroyers reappeared, their faces bearing a solemn expression.

"How is it?" North Carolina asked.

"Just as shown on the radar, and after close scouting we found that most of them are mass-produced shipgirls of Awakening grade, and among them are also distributed a large number of Executors."

"I have experienced several Siren Tides with the commander, but I have never seen such a scene." Osborn said solemnly.

"It seems the commander's prediction was correct; this Siren Tide is indeed different from before." North Carolina nodded: "Then now we will return to port at maximum speed immediately to report this information to the commander."

"Yes!"

Everyone raised their speed to the maximum, maintaining a single column formation, with North Carolina at the forefront, rushing toward the harbor district.

Moreover, this scene was not limited to the vicinity of Guandao; nearly all factions' frontline patrol units discovered the sea fog spreading across the ocean.

After the shipgirls' reconnaissance, the sky-covering Siren Fleet shocked them. Soon, this information flew quickly to the frontline supreme commanders of each faction.

At this moment, everyone realized that a greater, more tragic war than before was imminent.

No, it is already about to erupt.

Late at night, a sharp bell rang, piercing the sky and echoing in the silent harbor district; in an instant, the previously tranquil atmosphere was shattered.

All shipgirls and commanders quickly rose from their beds, put on their clothes, and orderly proceeded to the designated plan locations.

All shipgirls advanced toward the logistics warehouse to collect their own combat supplies, while all commanders headed to the conference room to hold a war meeting.

Although everyone's actions were swift, no chaos appeared; obviously this situation had been experienced in several drills before.

Ten minutes after the bell finished, all commanders gathered together in the war command room of the harbor district office area.

Beside Qin Ge stood North Carolina and Osborn, members of the earlier sea patrol team; his expression stern, he addressed all seated commanders.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Siren Tide has arrived!
