Chapter 937

Boom!

A loud bang stunned the advancing White Eagle crew, and they halted their march.

Although the Siren outpost marked by Tiancheng and the others was already very near, and we could roughly see its outline, but did this loud bang come from too far away?

"It seems something abnormal happened inside that outpost's waters! Air Corps, launch carrier aircraft! Main Force Fleet, all units accelerate to provide support!" Bunker Hill said calmly, then waved her hand.

A huge Withered Owl appeared above her head and flew off, while on the ship's equipment deck, several carrier aircraft took off in succession, closely following that huge Withered Owl.

Right after the fleet, the Ticonderoga and Princeton also released their own Bald Eagles, while carrier aircraft took off and followed, flying toward the forward outpost at great speed.

The Main Force Fleet almost simultaneously adjusted its formation to a line ahead, raising its speed to the maximum, striving to reach the outpost waters in the shortest possible time.

Meanwhile, Wuzang and the others, seeing the sky‑high spray and huge flames, let out a relieved breath.

Just like the Cleansers before, the Testers likewise chose self‑destruction. But thanks to the prior experience, when the Testers opted to self‑destruct, everyone swiftly withdrew from the most violent part of the blast radius.

Although they still suffered considerable damage, it was far less than the damage caused when the Cleansers self‑destructed earlier.

While Wuzang and others were sending people to rescue the injured crew members and clean up the battlefield, the roar of the warplanes came from far to near; everyone instantly lifted their heads, only to see a withered owl approaching from afar, followed by a large number of carrier aircraft.

"Is that White Eagle's aircraft?" Originally serving as the main anti-aircraft force, Fifty Bell was about to open fire, but seeing this scene, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Well, don't fire... cough... I think they should have sent carrier aircraft to support us because of the previous explosion." Tiancheng said in a low voice; perhaps because of the previous explosion, her body was feeling a bit weak, and her old cough flared up again.

"It's probably like this; it seems their speed is quite fast. According to the plan, I thought we would have cleaned up the sea area, gotten rid of this disheveled appearance, and then meet them again. It seems we now have to meet them in this state." Wuzang said helplessly.

"Hehe, the scars scorched by war are a warrior's medal; I think this appearance, though disheveled, can also show the heroic spirit of our Sakura Empire!" Love Mountain smiled.

"Indeed, after all, our Sakura Empire accomplished the feat of annihilating two Siren humanoids with a single fleet, something our Gangqu has never done before; even when we previously encountered Constructors and the like, we only repelled them, never achieving annihilation." Akagi said.

She still vaguely remembered that when Qin Ge first went to the Sakura Empire, they weren't yet members of his fleet, and they also encountered an attack by the Purifiers; at that time, only by gathering the strength of all factions could they barely fend off the Purifiers, and in the end she still managed to escape; now this should be the battle result of the high-level Siren humanoids so far in this world, right?

But now, looking back, there's still a sense of regret. If it weren't for my firm resolution back then, how could we have progressed to this point?

Undertaking a bold gamble when necessary is not wrong; the greater the price paid, the greater the gain obtained.

They are now the unique warships of this world, and they have also accomplished feats previously unimaginable; for the original wager, these are simply multiplied by an unknown number of times.

"Indeed, this feat of ours will certainly be recorded in our fleet's history, and it will open a new page in the history of our Gangqu. The high-level humanoids of the Sirens are not invincible; we have the ability and the strength to safeguard our future!" Wuzang smiled.

"Well, although that's the case, we of the Sakura Empire still need to properly express our gratitude for the support of the White Eagle companions; others have crossed several sea areas to come here, so we cannot be negligent." Zhang Men said.

"Zhang Men, please rest assured; this time I will step forward... cough... I believe that with my status, it is sufficient to show our regard for the White Eagle companions." said.

"But Tiancheng, your body..." Zhang Men frowned.

"It's fine; this is just an old ailment. Previously, because I had been staying in the Gangqu for a long time, and the commander took meticulous care of me, that's why you thought I had recovered. However, this condition doesn't matter... after all, such a little cough doesn't affect my combat strength." said.

"Since that's the case, the task of welcoming the White Eagle falls to you, Tiancheng. We will swiftly clear the sea area, and then we will all return to Petropavlovsk to discuss the next step of the Pacific campaign." Wuzang said.

"Understood, Lord Wuzang." Alright, then bringing Akagi, Kaga, phoenix and others, they glided toward the direction where the White Eagle group was coming.

Finally, after leaving the Gangqu, the two factions conducted their first face-to-face communication outside the outpost sea area.

Watching the White Eagle group gradually slow down, Tiancheng also slowly reduced her speed, and over the public communications channel she said to everyone, "Sakura Empire Tiancheng, thank you for the arrival of the White Eagle companions."

Looking at the battle scars on the bodies of the Sakura Empire group before him, and that smiling face, combined with the intelligence just gathered, Bunker Hill nodded and said, "It seems your operation this time has succeeded; after all, we were one step behind."

"You're not slow at all; from the first communication to now, it's been less than One Day's time, and you all have crossed two sea areas to come here; this has let our Sakura Empire also witness the support speed of each of the White Eagle companions." Tiancheng smiled.

"But you seem a bit disheveled; after all this planning, is capturing a single outpost still this difficult?" Washington said while looking.

"Hehe." Tiancheng hadn't answered yet, while Akagi beside her first laughed, saying, "There's a saying that goes well: plans cannot keep up with changes. Originally we wanted to eliminate the Testers here, but the Cleansers also arrived today at the same time."

Thus we went from having one enemy in the original plan to having to deal with two high-level Siren humanoids simultaneously; fortunately, this battle also succeeded in annihilating them.

"Annihilate!?" The White Eagle group gasped, simultaneously looking in shock at the disheveled Sakura Empire group.

"So you just annihilated the Testers and Cleansers?" North Carolina exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, we did not disgrace the mission; although unexpected things occurred, we still persevered." Tiancheng said with a smile.

"Tsk... your Sakura Empire indeed hides deep." Washington couldn't help but click her tongue; even as a battle maniac, she knew that taking down these two high-level Siren humanoids wasn't that easy.

"Hehe, this isn't the place to talk; we have already prepared a welcome banquet for the White Eagle companions at the Petropavlovsk port; why don't we go there together so we can discuss the upcoming plans in detail?" Tiancheng smiled.

"Yes."
