Chapter 663: Siren Base

As a sliver of fish-belly white appeared in the distant sky, a large group of carrier aircraft took advantage of this moment of light and dark transition, sweeping across the horizon.

After a brief rest, the attack on the Siren base officially began with Qin Ge's order.

The fleet quickly approached the Siren base on the sea surface, while the carrier shipgirls released their carrier aircraft, assisting the surface fleet's advance as the sky was about to brighten.

Soon, the carrier aircraft entered the Siren base together with the surface fleet, clearing the Siren fleet encountered within their sight.

They cleared very quickly and carefully, after all, the situation they had encountered in the Siren base at Guandao sea area remained vivid in their minds.

They were somewhat worried that an Executor might be mixed in with the Siren fleet, just like the Executor they had encountered before, launching a sudden attack.

But unexpectedly, after clearing this Siren base, they encountered no Executor attack; guarding the core position of the Siren base was a pair of elite units formed by Executors.

Such a force posed no threat to Qin Ge's fleet at all, so everyone cleared the Siren base almost without pressure.

"Strange, this Siren base actually has no Executor guarding it?" After occupying the base's core, Xin ze xi said strangely.

"Perhaps it's because so many Executors have appeared on the Donghuang Front Line, causing the Siren base to have no Executor guarding it?" Pennsylvania said.

"That's very likely, but we still need to be careful, after all, the Executor's attack power is indeed strong; if we let our guard down, it could cause us great harm." Enterprise said to everyone.

"Understood!" Xin ze xi and the others nodded, saying in the communicator.

"Hai Lun Na, take a team into the core to search for leftover items, and don't forget the tasks assigned by the commander." Enterprise said to Hai Lun Na.

"Understood." Hai Lun Na immediately replied.

Everyone naturally knew that the Siren base's core would leave behind some technology and such; they had no problem with Hai Lun Na going in to search.

After all, Qin Ge had come to support Donghuang; after occupying the Siren base, obtaining some spoils was appropriate, and they had come only as temporary hands, so the spoils meant nothing to them.

Just as Hai Lun Na and the others entered the core to search for leftovers, the fleet's carrier shipgirls also launched their own carrier aircraft, conducting a wide-area search of the sea to prepare to find the next Siren base.

Unexpectedly, the search radius was not large before they encountered a second, then even a third and fourth Siren base.

Unlike the Siren base in the Guandao sea area, the Siren bases here in Donghuang are more densely packed; within a small sea area, at least five Siren bases are clustered.

After learning this, Enterprise and the others quickly boarded Qin Ge's command ship and reported the situation to him.

"Hmm, this indeed seems strange, Siren bases so close together." Qin Ge said, unconsciously stroking his chin.

"Commander, you also understand the situation inside the Siren base just now; the Siren bases in Donghuang seem different from ours here, with no Executors."

"Therefore, these Siren bases pose little threat to us; I think we can split our forces, quickly clear the four Siren bases we have discovered, then regroup to explore new Siren bases." Enterprise said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't agree with this suggestion; we are still in the Siren's territory. Although we didn't find any Executor-like Siren elite units in this base, no one can guarantee that the next Siren base won't have Executors."

"We must proceed with caution; don't forget, there are still Arbiters here. If we split our forces and encounter an Arbiter at the next base, what then? Even if we wanted to rescue, the distance would be far, and arriving would take time, causing unnecessary casualties."

Qin Ge's words made the fleet girls dismiss the idea of splitting forces. As he said, splitting forces could increase combat efficiency, but if something unexpected happened, the tolerance for error would be very low compared to keeping the whole fleet together.

"Understood, Commander. Hai Lun Na and the others are currently sorting out spoils in the Siren base's core; after they regroup, we will continue advancing. Then, which Siren base should we choose as our next target for capture?" King George V said.

"We must take steady steps toward the nearest Siren base; this must not be rushed." Qin Ge said.

"Yes."

Besides Qin Ge's own fleet girls, the other three Mikasa, Prince of Wales, and several others all strongly supported his view.

The Donghuang battle had lasted this long; although they also wished to end the battle quickly, everything must be done in proper order.

We are currently Donghuang's only hope; we must act only after ensuring we can stably annihilate the enemy. Acting rashly at this critical juncture is prone to problems.

Afterwards, everyone held a simple meeting to review the battle; Qin Ge pointed out the mistakes made in coordination among the fleet girls, and arranged for Enterprise, Weineituo, etc., to notify everyone in place to prevent the same situation from recurring.

This is also why Qin Ge's fleet has become increasingly quick at dealing with Siren bases and Executors: timely review and reflection on their own mistakes, correcting them in the next battle, makes their tactical coordination ever more perfect.

After everyone's meeting ended, Hai Lun Na also completed her search of the core interior. As expected, there was indeed a mysterious file here.

"Now is not the time to open the mysterious file. After Hai Lun Na regroups, Qin Ge's fleet will set out again, advancing toward the nearest Siren base."

Because the two Siren bases are close, it didn't take long to reach another Siren base, and they encountered no blocking Siren fleet along the way.

Just like the first Siren base they had cleared, this base also contained only large numbers of Siren mass-produced fleets, Executors, and fallen shipgirls, with no trace of Executors, let alone Arbiters.

Nevertheless, Qin Ge remained vigilant, applying the same procedure to the upcoming third, fourth, and even fifth Siren bases, clearing them one by one.

When the fifth Siren base was eliminated, the sky brightened again; they had fought in this sea area for an entire day and night……
