Chapter 37: Defeat the Siren and Encounter the Big Fox
"The commander is here to pick me up. Let's go, everyone."
Soon it was afternoon and Ningle came to pick Saratoga up.
"Commander Jiajia had a great time today. He met many companions."
Saratoga, who had a gloomy face when she went to school in the morning, was now smiling happily.
"Haha, as long as Gaga is happy."
"Your status as a destroyer is confirmed, Saratoga. There is no need to explain."
Ning Le complained in his heart.
Taking Saratoga Ningler with him, he did not return to the hot spring hotel, but went to Akashi Store.
A few more pieces of gold equipment were sold to complete the transformation materials for Saratoga.
However, after paying more than 20 supplies, there are not many supplies left in Akashi.
"Commander Ningle, after buying these golden equipments from you, I won't have much supplies left. But don't worry, these equipments can be sold out in just a few days. If you have other equipments later, you can always come to me to trade."
Indeed, Akashi's shop was just a small weapons and equipment shop in Sakura Empire, and this should be all the funds in Akashi's shop.
"Of course, of course. As soon as I get the new equipment, I will come to Boss Akashi to make a deal."
[Akashi's favorability increased to 60 points]
After saying goodbye to Akashi, Ningle now has enough supplies and 47,000 experience points in his system.
Although I would like to modify Saratoga now, the angled deck needs to be compatible with jet fighters.
The cheapest F14 jet fighter in the system also requires supplies. Even if the Saratoga's hull is modified, it cannot improve its combat effectiveness much.
"Little Jiajia, I didn't expect that a little one like you would be such a waste."
Ning Le thought helplessly.
[Task 1: Enter the Sakura Commander Academy and unlock the subsequent prompts to complete.]
[Mission 2: According to the intelligence obtained, the last sea area where the Yamato class appeared is located on the north side of the Sakura Islands. Please defeat the Siren flagship there. ]
"Great, finally a combat mission."
Ningle now longs for such a direct and simple task.
He was tired of being asked to investigate or complete something.
I still vaguely remember my embarrassed expression when I asked Saratoga to dress up as a destroyer yesterday.
"I am indeed fit for battle."
"Nagato, you stay here to look after the house."
Nagato nodded expressionlessly.
He did not blame his commander. Once his identity was exposed, the Sakura Empire would definitely separate the two of them.
"Saratoga, Warspite, you two will lead the attack in this battle."
The two of them had cooperated many times before, so Ning Le naturally didn't need to say much.
late at night.
"Lord Amagi, we have checked the area nearby, but there are no clues."
Next to Amagi, an unnamed cruiser reported to Amagi.
"Okay, got it. Be careful around you."
Amagi, as one of the senior leaders of the Sakura Empire's Freedom Ship Girls, has always served as a military strategist.
His sister, Akasaka, is the flagship of Sakura Empire, but she is only a temporary replacement.
The flagship of the Sakura Empire has always been the Yamato class, and this is known to every Sakura Empire shipgirl.
But they searched for many years and couldn't find it.
Amagi also accidentally obtained a piece of information that the Yamato-class ship had appeared at the northernmost tip of the Sakura Islands.
That's why he came here to investigate in the middle of the night with only two personal guards.
"what is that?"
Just when Amagi and others were planning to return to the Sakura Islands, they suddenly discovered a strange purple light appearing on the sea in the distance.
Bang bang bang! !
There was a huge sound of artillery fire.
"That's the Siren flagship!!!"
The three were shocked, especially Tiancheng.
This is near the coast of the Sakura Islands, so it is almost impossible for sirens to appear.
While they were thinking, the shells were already attacking the three of them.
"Lord Amagi, please retreat first. We will provide cover."
The two nameless ship girls deployed their ships and fired back at the Siren flagship in the distance.
A flash of white light passed by, and Amagi also unfolded its hull and bombarded the Siren flagship in the distance.
"Damn, that's too close."
The Siren flagship seemed to appear out of nowhere, blocking the way between Amagi and the return to the Sakura Islands.
And it only appeared 10 kilometers in front of Tiancheng and the others.
This distance is a rather awkward engagement distance for a battleship.
It neither has the long-range advantage of a battleship, nor can it fully utilize the capabilities of its secondary guns.
The key point is that the opponent is the Siren flagship, which is covered with turrets.
Bang bang bang! !
Another round of artillery fire rang out, and the three ship girls were hit by several shells to varying degrees.
"I'm sorry, Lord Tiancheng, I have to go first."
As soon as he finished speaking, an unnamed ship guarding Amagi sank into the sea.
The health of another unnamed ship girl was also at the bottom.
"Damn it! How could a Siren flagship appear here? We must return to Sakura Empire as soon as possible."
Amagi didn't want to admit it, but his only option now was to rush back to the Sakura Islands.
As long as we reach the archipelago, the coast guard there will be able to find us.
"I'll hold the Siren flagship, and you go notify the Coast Guard."
Amagi gave orders to the nameless ship girl on the other side.
"But, Amagi-sama——"
"No buts. You are moving fast enough. This is the only way to save us."
The ship girl did not hesitate and sailed at full speed towards the Sakura Islands, and soon distanced herself from Amagi.
Although Amagi is a battlecruiser, its speed is much slower than that of a light cruiser.
"Let's fight to the death, Siren flagship."
At this time, Amagi was heading towards the Sakura Islands while carrying out artillery fire.
boom!
A huge fire lit up at the stern of Amagi.
"Damn it, the rudder is broken."
Having lost its rudder, Amagi lost control of its direction and was heading away from the Sakura Islands.
The current situation can be said that Amagi is destined to be sunk.
Even if the Sakura Empire's Coast Guard arrived now, the Siren flagship would no longer be pursuing them, and their rudder was damaged, so they had no idea where they would drift to.
What’s even more terrible is that the bombardment from the Siren flagship behind them did not stop.
"Commander, why do we have to come out at night? Isn't it better to go out during the day?"
The night poses great limitations to the aircraft carriers in this world.
The enemy cannot be detected by carrier-based aircraft at night.
Similarly, darkness is not conducive to the takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft.
"This is a test for you, Jiajia. You are going to be the ship girl of my flagship."
At this time, Saratoga was still wearing the clothes of the Sakura Kindergarten. In Saratoga's words, this was to conceal her identity.
War-weary on the side did not say much, but concentrated on patrolling the surrounding waters.
"Commander, 20 kilometers to the north, the Siren flagship and a battlecruiser have been spotted."
While Ningle was still studying the system mission, Saratoga's report sounded.
"Oh? I found it, but why is there a battlecruiser?"
Ning Le was very confused because the system clearly stated that there was only one Siren flagship here.
"Could it be that the patrolling ship girl nearby encountered the Siren flagship?"
"No, how can we let the lovely ship girl die in the sea?"
Thinking of this, Ningle commanded Warspite and Saratoga to rush towards the Siren flagship.
