Chapter 29: Going to Sakura City and Encountering a Profligate Merchant
"We've finally arrived at Sakura City."
Ning Le also felt relieved.
He was a little nervous along the way. After all, there was only one aircraft carrier, Saratoga, that could go into battle.
But luckily, it went smoothly and we didn't encounter any attacks from the Sai people on the way.
"Commander, how long will it take us to reach Sakura?"
Saratoga asked with a tired look on her face.
For new ship girls, unfolding the ship for a long time is a burden.
At this time, Saratoga no longer had the energetic feeling he had just set out. Instead, he looked very tired and gloomy.
"Commander, how about I replace Saratoga? We are already near Sakura Empire. There shouldn't be any sirens around here."
War-weary on the side said.
During this week, Ning Le also thought about using his recovery skills to heal War-Wan's injuries.
But at most it only recovered to 50% of its health.
Although it seems that War-weary's injuries are no longer serious, insufficient health is always a hidden danger.
Compared to Saratoga's 8 health points, Warspite's health points of only 3 are still too fragile.
"Hold on a little longer, Jia Jia. We'll reach the Sakura Islands in two hours."
"Well Commander, I want something delicious to eat when we get to the island."
"I want to have torpedo tempura."
Saratoga said coquettishly.
This made War-weary, who was standing by, speechless.
After spending these few days together, Yan Zhan also felt that Saratoga's personality was a little too childish.
It's like a destroyer that has not grown up.
It was obviously the fleet's aircraft carrier or flagship, but what he did was so hilarious.
【Enemy cruiser spotted.】
Just as the three were discussing what to do after arriving in Sakura Empire, suddenly an enemy prompt appeared on Ning Le's system.
"Saratoga is ready to fight."
In an instant, Ningle, who was originally laughing, became solemn, and his mental power instantly took over the hull of Saratoga.
At this time, four fighter jets took off from Saratoga in the sky to investigate the nearby waters.
The enemy was discovered to be located 20 kilometers north of Ningle.
Ningle concentrated his attention on observing the enemy cruiser discovered through the field of view of the carrier-based aircraft.
I saw that the cruiser was sailing at full speed towards the Sakura Islands.
The cruiser is attacking a strange ship ahead.
The attacked ship had no cannons or cargo holds, but instead had two huge mechanical arms.
At the same time, the ship was also sailing at full speed towards the direction of Sakura Empire.
"What kind of ship is this? It looks so strange."
Ning Le was a little confused. He had never seen this type of warship before.
"Let me take a look, Commander."
Then, Saratoga's spirit also entered the carrier-based aircraft.
"That should be a repair ship, just like the Vesta in White Eagle, it can repair the ship girl's body."
Hearing this, Ning Le instantly became alert. He was still worrying about where to repair the Warspite's hull, but he didn't expect to encounter a repair ship.
"Saratoga, prepare to attack."
Ning Le didn't want to miss this opportunity. Even if he arrived in Sakura Empire, he would still have to queue up if he wanted to contact the repair ship.
But if we can save this repair ship here, we can repair the Warspite in advance.
buzzing.
A group of 12 Skyraiders had already begun ski jumping on the runway and were forming a formation in the air.
At this time, on the sea in the distance.
"Help me, I won't run around anymore meow."
Akashi was hiding in the cockpit of his own ship, holding his head and heading towards the direction of Sakura Empire.
He also didn't think that he would encounter Siren's cruisers within the Sakura Islands.
In the morning, Akashi planned to go to other islands to purchase goods, but because the price of entrusting an escort was too high, he did not entrust the ship girl to escort him.
"How could there be sirens in the Sakura Islands? Those who commissioned the escort must have been deceived."
But Mingshi never expected that he would encounter a Siren cruiser just a few hours after he went out to sea.
The most uncomfortable thing was that it was just a repair ship and had no self-defense firepower at all, so it could only be beaten by the Siren cruiser.
"Wuwuwu, I will never run away again, meow. Let me survive. Next time, I will definitely ask the ship girl to escort me."
Mingshi was crying loudly. At this time, his ship's health was less than half and it was still on fire.
However, as a repair ship, he can continue to restore his health. Just when Akashi thought he could rely on his own ability to return to the Sakura Islands, a shell landed on his propeller.
"Oh no, meow. I'm going to die here, meow."
Having lost power, Mingshi was relying on weak inertia to drift towards the Sakura Islands, but at the same time, the Siren warship behind him was slowly approaching him.
"Are you going to die? I still have a lot of supplies that I haven't spent yet, meow."
"Shiranui will definitely be lonely without me. I hope someone can build me again, meow."
Akashi had already started thinking about his last words, but at the most desperate moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a carrier-based aircraft overhead.
"That's a carrier-based aircraft. Someone is here to rescue me, meow."
Mingshi, who survived the disaster, came to the deck, opened his arms and waved towards the carrier-based aircraft.
"Look here, look here, I'm Akashi, the maintenance ship of Sakura Empire, please save me, meow."
These carrier-based aircraft are the Skyraiders controlled by Ningle.
At this moment he also saw Mingshi standing on the deck waving his hands and couldn't help laughing.
"I guess this profiteer boss lady doesn't know that the sirens are becoming more and more violent. Even near safe islands, wild sirens will appear."
Just as Akashi kept shouting, a shell happened to land on the deck, and the explosion directly blew Akashi dozens of meters high.
"Ahh, help me, meow."
Akashi let out a scream, but fortunately its hull was relatively wide and it did not fall into the sea.
"Haha, Commander, that ship girl is so stupid, even dumber than Saratoga."
Seeing this scene, Saratoga, who was controlling the carrier-based aircraft, said with a smile.
"Haha, yeah, dumber than Saratoga."
Ningle said with a wicked smile, and Saratoga beside him didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence.
But War-weary on the side couldn't hold back his laughter.
"What's so funny? I'm telling the truth."
Saratoga asked with a confused look on her face as she heard the laughter.
Ning Le glanced at Yan Zhan, and then she stopped laughing.
He then concentrated on controlling the Skyraider to attack the Siren cruiser.
The Skyraider's rockets were extremely damaging to the lightly armored cruiser. Just one salvo was enough to send the Siren cruiser back to the bottom of the sea.
"Wow, I'm saved. I don't have to die anymore, meow!!"
"What a powerful carrier-based aircraft! I've never seen one before, meow."
The Sakura Empire did not have carrier-based aircraft capable of carrying rockets, and it was the first time that Mingishi saw the Sky Raider.
However, he could feel that this type of carrier-based aircraft was definitely not simple.
At the same time, Ning Le's voice was heard in Mingshi's communication.
"I am Commander Ningle from the Royal Army. It was my carrier-based aircraft that just killed the Siren. Please report your situation."
Although he knew that the other party was Mingshi, Ning Le had to pretend that he didn't know. After all, it was his first time in Sakura Empire.
"Hello, Commander Ningle. I am Akashi, the maintenance ship of Sakura Empire. Thank you for your help. My propeller is broken and I can't move it for the time being. Can you take me back to Sakura Empire? Meow."
The sound of Mingshi sounds a little lazy, crisp with a hint of softness, which is very pleasant to hear.
Especially the ending sound "meow", which makes it even more adorable.
"Okay, please stay where you are, I'll be there soon."
There was no other way. Ning Le would need Mingshi's help in repairing the War-Worry later, so it would be convenient to ask for help if he could save him now.
