Chapter 642
Looking at the empty Sai ren ju dian, Enterprise and the others furrowed their brows.
Earlier, hearing Biaoqiang say that discovering a Sai ren ju dian here was strange, we thought it was just a Siren cover-up, but upon getting closer we realized it was true—the Sirens had abandoned this outpost, and its facilities remained intact.
Obviously, this place had not seen fierce battle like Qin Ge's sea area, capturing this Sai ren ju dian and then abandoning it. Instead, there was not a trace of battle; it looked like it had been voluntarily abandoned.
"The situation in Donghuang doesn't look good." Enterprise examined the core of the Sai ren ju dian and said to Xin ze xi and the others.
"There's not a trace of battle here; on the contrary, it looks like the Sirens voluntarily abandoned this place, so the outcome is clearly only one."
「As the Sirens' front line kept advancing further, this place could no longer serve as a base for replenishing the fleet, so the Sirens voluntarily abandoned it and re-established a supply point nearer to Donghuang. 」 Prince of Wales said.
「This guess is basically correct. 」 Qin Ge's voice came from the communicator, 「Just now a few destroyers also reported, similarly discovering this kind of abandoned Sai ren ju dian. 」.
「I have already sent them to explore the core position, collect useful things, and then destroy the base core. 」.
「Commander, it seems Donghuang is more ominous than fortunate this time. However, logically speaking, we should be able to break through the Siren Tide, so why would Donghuang……? 」 Weineituo asked Qin Ge.
Qin Ge's voice came from the communicator, 「Our front line is short, and each location can provide support at any time. After resisting the first wave of the Siren Tide's attack, we quickly found a method to counter the Siren Fleet. 」.
And with our short front line, we have more than ten Awakened Shipgirls providing mutual support, so of course we can defend against the Siren Tide's attacks.
But this is not our place; this is Donghuang's Front Line, so the attacks we face are definitely not of the same scale as ours; they must be overwhelming, surging forth.
Although the Grand Fleet here has experienced a hundred battles, suddenly facing new-type Sirens will inevitably cause panic, and with the members' varying strengths in the Grand Fleet, the defensive front line will soon be broken.
Even if Donghuang intends to defend, facing a formation full of holes they can only give up, and they don't have as many Awakened Shipgirls as we do in a defensive line to support each other, so the fall of the Front Line is quite normal.
Of course there is another possibility: the Executor we encountered in the Sai ren ju dian before did not, like in our sea area, stay in the Sai ren ju dian waiting for us to attack.
Instead, it launched an attack together with the Siren Fleet toward the Donghuang Front Line, so the threat it poses is terrifying.
Qin Ge's explanation made all the shipgirls suddenly realize; the shipgirls they have often seen over the past year or two are fully trained or high-level, so it is natural to regard Donghuang's Front Line as composed of such shipgirls.
「Commander, what should we do now? 」 King George V asked via the communicator.
「Go to the Donghuang Front Line, check the specific situation there; if it is truly abandoned, our next step is to directly go to Shenhua City, where the Donghuang Zhi hui bu is located, and there must be resistance. 」 Qin Ge said.
「Understood. 」 Everyone no longer lingered, after taking out the useful things from the core, they destroyed it, then swiftly returned to the Command Ship and headed toward the location of the Donghuang Front Line.
Along the way, the other destroyers also gained something; when leaving the Sai ren ju dian, they also did not forget to destroy its core. Then they followed the signal from Qin Ge's Command Ship, continually closing in on the fleet's position.
After driving for two hours, everyone finally reached the Ryukyu Islands, but the sight before them sank their hearts to the bottom.
As the view extended, within the visible range of the Ryukyu Islands, only ruins of broken walls remained; some buildings still emitted smoke. In the direction of the harbor, the half-sunken or sideways-tilted wreck of a Command Ship lay there, with faint bloodstains on the water surface.
「Indeed. 」 Qin Ge looked at the shore situation, his heart involuntarily sank to the bottom.
Although when we came over, Banrenma's Carrier Aircraft had already seen the shore situation and reported it to him. But not having seen it with his own eyes, he still held a sliver of hope until now, when he personally witnessed the grim state of the Front Line.
「Commander……」 Guanghui reached out and grabbed Qin Ge's arm, saying anxiously in a low voice.
The grim state has now been confirmed; the Front Line indeed organized a strong resistance, and the sea where the Command Ship just came from also saw part of the Siren Fleet's wreckage.
But the current situation already shows that the Front Line's resistance did not have the intended effect, and Donghuang's high-level leadership likely already abandoned the Front Line.
「I'm fine, and isn't this scene before us something we had already guessed? 」 Qin Ge looked at the situation before him and said to everyone.
「Then Commander, what should we do next? 」 Guanghui said.
Qin Ge thought for a moment, then said, 「Guanghui, you weren't a Free Shipgirl on the Front Line before? Do you know where the Front Line's Zhi hui bu is? 」.
「Yes, after landing on the island from here, it is located at the central position of the island. 」 Guanghui replied.
Qin Ge nodded, 「Is there wired communication there that directly contacts the Donghuang Zhi hui bu? 」.
「Yes. 」 Guanghui nodded firmly.
Zhenhai beside him smiled, 「Commander, are you planning to first contact the Donghuang Zhi hui bu? 」.
「Certainly, we are unclear about the current situation of Donghuang's coastal area; if we go straight there, we might encounter a Siren Fleet group and thus be surrounded by them. Although we can carve out a Blood Road, we would then lose the purpose of aid. 」.
So if we can now contact the Donghuang Zhi hui bu, learn about the specific situation there, we can mutually devise strategies and conduct maximum strategic support. 」 Qin Ge said.
「But what if the direction of the Zhi hui bu is destroyed? 」 Enterprise asked.
Qin Ge responded, 「If the Zhi hui bu is destroyed, but her communication lines are still there. At that time we can ask Hai Lun Na to repair the communications, allowing us to directly contact Donghuang. 」.
The worst-case scenario is that the communication lines are destroyed, in which case we can only grit our teeth and drive toward Shenhua City.
Anyway, regardless of the outcome, when necessary we must take a chance. 」.
「Hmm. 」 Enterprise nodded and immediately arranged for the Command Ship fleet to sail toward the shore.
Apart from reserving some for temporary defense, Qin Ge and a team of shipgirls landed and quickly followed Guanghui toward the Zhi hui bu.
After passing through a stretch of ruined walls, when the Frontline Command appeared before everyone's eyes.
Although the surroundings are all a scene destroyed by bombers, the Zhi hui bu before us is relatively intact, letting everyone involuntarily let out a sigh of relief……
