Chapter 667: Sea Area with Gravity Anomaly
With the fall of the aerial bombs, the last batch of Sirens mass-produced battleships was blown to pieces.
Flames filled the sky, billowing up, mixed with rolling thick smoke, and the firelight turned the sea into a sea of fire.
Looking around, beneath the gloomy sky, burning firelight was everywhere, wrecks of sunken warships and the corpses of Executors drifting on the sea were everywhere, making this area seem like purgatory.
Although Qin Ge had seen such a scene before, he had never before experienced a death battle like today, and the sight of a command ship sailing through the fire sea gave a completely different feeling.
"Commander, the Sirens mass-produced battleships have been cleared; should we continue advancing?"
In the communicator, Xin ze xi's voice appeared, drawing Qin Ge's attention back from the purgatory beside him.
"This time you are the fleet's flagship, and I have entrusted this battle to you; as for what to do next, you can discuss it among yourselves." Qin Ge said into the communicator.
"Eh... I'm used to asking the commander for instructions, so for a moment I actually forgot about this discussion, hehe." Hearing Qin Ge's words, Xin ze xi let out an embarrassed laugh.
"But I still want to ask the commander, if you were commanding this battle, would this lesson be to choose to advance, or to explore the surroundings?"
Hearing Xin ze xi's repeated question, Qin Ge couldn't help but smile: "If I were to command this battle, I would choose to temporarily halt the advance, conduct battle resupply, and then let the carrier aircraft carry out sea area exploration."
After all, you just fought a major battle; your fuel and emergency repair tools must be lacking, and although prolonged battle doesn't require shipgirls to eat, eating something would regulate the entire fleet's morale.
Let the fleet's carrier conduct a wide-area airspace search; not only can it obtain intelligence from other places, but it can also discover hidden threats, after which we can decide the direction of our next move.
"Then I will arrange according to the commander's suggestion." Xin ze xi said happily.
"This..." Qin Ge said, laughing and crying, "Didn't we agree to settle things in your shipgirls' way? What's the difference between that and my command?"
"The shipgirls' way is the fleet's way, and the fleet's way is the commander's way, so there's no difference." Xin ze xi said with a smile, "Commander, take this time to rest and have something to eat; I've made the arrangements below, communication ends."
Qin Ge looked at the hung-up communicator and involuntarily shook his head. This made Zhenhai beside him laugh: "Hehe, isn't this what the commander hoped to see?"
Although this battle was prepared to be fought in the shipgirls' way, as Xin ze xi said, we have been familiar with the commander's way since our birth, so our way is the commander's way.
Qin Ge rubbed his nose, "Alright, we've caused a big scene here; next we'll see the enemy's reaction. If there really is an Arbiter in this sea area, I believe she will appear before us soon."
"Mm, so far no Executor has appeared, but if one does show up, we should immediately use that beacon." Zhenhai nodded.
"Indeed, these are just appetizers for now; the Arbiter to come is the crux of the crux." Qin Ge nodded.
"Hehe, Commander, you should also have an appetizer; what would you like to eat? Although conditions are rather simple, some simple things can still be made." Zhenhai said with a laugh.
"Ha, what's there to be picky about here? I'll eat whatever Zhenhai wants to make." Qin Ge said without hesitation, quite naturally.
"Alright, Commander, please sit there to rest for a moment; just wait a bit." After saying that, Zhenhai walked toward the kitchen.
At this time, many carrier shipgirls were piloting carrier aircraft to patrol this sea area. Independence from the White Eagle was also among them, but she encountered a situation: after her carrier aircraft flew to a relatively wide sea area, it began to uncontrollably descend.
When she began to climb while controlling the carrier aircraft, she felt this force's strangeness more and more. Control became increasingly difficult; although the carrier aircraft started to rise, it required far more strength than usual.
Thus, Independence acted against her norm, directly flying the carrier aircraft toward the desired sea area; she wanted to see what was strange about this sea area.
But when she turned the carrier aircraft's nose downward to fly, she felt the aircraft being pulled upward by a force, as if gravity's effect in this sea area had changed.
Independence furrowed her brows; under such gravity, using a carrier aircraft to explore this sea area would be extremely exhausting; it would be better to directly report it to Xin ze xi and have her arrange destroyers and light cruisers to explore this sea area.
Thus, Independence, while recovering the carrier aircraft, said over the communicator: "Report, this is Independence; during exploration I discovered an unknown sea area; the airspace gravity of this sea area seems to have gone wrong; please dispatch a surface fleet to investigate."
"Received, this is Xin ze xi; I will dispatch personnel immediately; please, Independence, guide them." Xin ze xi's voice appeared in the communicator, speaking very quickly.
"Received, communication ends."
On the other side, Xin ze xi had just hung up Independence's communicator, when Enterprise beside her looked over and asked, "What did Independence discover?"
"Independence said that while exploring the unknown sea area, she discovered a strange sea area whose airspace gravity seemed to have gone wrong, so I should send a surface fleet to take a look." Xin ze xi said.
"Is that so?" Enterprise nodded, "Or I could lead a team there; at this time, any abnormal place could hide a huge crisis. Therefore, non-Awakened shipgirl personnel should stay with the main force as much as possible."
"Understood; in that case, why not bring the Awakened shipgirls from Royal and Donghuang? That way, if danger arises, you'll also have the ability to counterattack." Xin ze xi said.
"Understood, then we'll wait for our news." Enterprise nodded at Xin ze xi and said.
"Please." Xin ze xi said with a smile.
"Mm." Enterprise nodded and directly slid out; during this process she kept saying something over the communicator.
Afterward, only seen were Royal's Guanghui, Monarch, King George V, Belfast, Biaoqiang, plus Mikasa, Prince of Wales, Anshan, Changchun, etc., sliding out from the fleet and sliding away together with Enterprise toward the distance.
