Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1338: The Prelude to the Final Battle of Natlan
As Chkalov marked the location of the Demon King inheritance ceremony on the holographic projection map, Lin Lan and all the ship girls in the conference room could clearly see the marching direction and destination of the Nightmare Fleet.

It was exactly the site of the Demon King's inheritance ceremony.

"It seems that we have to prepare for the worst."

Lin Lan quickly analyzed the battle situation based on all the intelligence information he had obtained:

"I don't know what stimulated that ancient Category V threat.

“In short, all Category V threat pollution sources hiding in Natlan and the nearby seas should be under his call or control and rush to the Demon King’s inheritance site at all costs.

"If this is true, then the Category V threats, nightmare fleets, and evil cultivators that have not yet been eliminated in Central Province and Western Province will also rush to Northern Province..."

After this analysis, Lin Lan looked at the light cruiser girl Voroshilov, who was currently coordinating the intelligence of the Northern Province on behalf of Kronstadt in the temporary port area:

"Voroshilov, immediately issue a war warning to all of North Province, and organize the armored army to march toward the Central Province Imperial City."

"Understood, Comrade Commander."

After receiving his order, Voroshilov left the operations meeting room without hesitation.

Lin Lan also quickly sorted out the battle plan, and he listed the arrangements one by one:
“The battle on the polar ice field should be a decisive battle for the survival of the entire Natlan.

“We can’t all set off for the decisive battle at the polar stronghold, someone must stay behind to command the Northern State Army.

"In addition, in order to prevent Category V threats from stealing our home, we have to send a floating fleet directly to the Zhongzhou Imperial City to protect Emperor Natlan."

Soviet Russia then said to him at the right time:

"Comrade Commander, I have arranged for three armored armies and two monks from Northern Province's sects to cross the river and station in the Central Province Imperial City. Together with the Imperial City's original Royal Guards, they should be able to hold out until the fleet arrives."

Lin Lan nodded in appreciation of the Beilian political commissar who was very reliable in his work, and then said:

"I will go to the polar stronghold in person. If my deduction is correct, in addition to the nightmare fleet on the sea, there are also evil cultivators and nightmare fleets heading to the ice field from the land.

"Chekalov, inform Kronstadt to contact the five major demon tribes on the ice field to take refuge within the polar stronghold defense system, and to arrange carrier-based aircraft, unmanned tanks, and Rubik's Cube ballistic missiles to delay the Nightmare Fleet as much as possible."

The tall Northern Alliance researcher Yujie knew that this was not the time to be lazy, so she immediately took out her laptop to access the temporary port area communication system and began to carry out her arrangements.

"As for the candidates who will stay to command and go to the Central Plains Imperial City, the Soviet Alliance, I will leave it to you to arrange."

After receiving his arrangements, the Soviet Alliance nodded and began to deploy personnel for the three fleets in the combat plan.

About half an hour later, Lin Lan, accompanied by the Soviet Alliance, Harbin and Miss D, and a group of ship girls walked into the cabin of the floating battleship under the brilliant sky.

The Soviets that remained in the temporary port area of ​​the Northern Union were Belarus, Voroshilov, Kirov, Minsk and Majesty.

Chkalov led Arkhangelsk, Kuibyshev, Mercury Memorial, Speed, Fierce and Tashkent to the Zhongzhou Imperial City on another floating fleet with the Stalker as the fleet command AI.

All the remaining people, including the two meta ship girls, the good guy Richard and Lang Yuexi, and Bai Qixue, will follow the main floating fleet led by him to the polar ice field.

Fortunately, according to the latest news from Kronstadt, the Nightmare Fleet and the evil cultivators are marching very slowly.

According to the analysis conducted by Ms. D, the reason is that the movement speed of the Class V threat pollution source itself cannot be enhanced by any vehicle.

As a high-dimensional being, almost 90% of the Category V threat pollution sources observed by Antiks move extremely slowly.

In addition, thanks to the efforts of the Northern Alliance ship girls in Beizhou, these pollution sources were unable to obtain enough energy through erosion in Beizhou, and their movement speed was even slower.

Because of this, after Miss D's calculations, Lin Lan learned that they would be able to establish a defense line before the Nightmare Fleet arrived at the Demon King's inheritance.

Having had experience in the launching ceremony drill at the Xinghai Base, Lin Lan was already familiar with the internal structure of the Council's floating battleship.

But even so, the space inside the floating battleship was still too large, so large that he needed Nakhimov and Princeton meta to guide him from time to time.

When he arrived at the command room, this brand-new floating battleship and dozens of escort floating battleships of various models had already taken off. He asked Miss D to turn on the wide-area fleet communication system, and then after a moment's hesitation to the Northern Alliance shipgirls who could hear him, he reluctantly said:
“Everyone, if everything goes well, once we return triumphantly from the ice field and reunite with the Donghuang Fleet, we can start opening up a route back to our home port.

"You...must protect yourself."

This situation was so sudden that it completely disrupted his original plan.

After all, he had only been reunited with his Northern Alliance ship girls for less than a week before they had to part ways again because of the menacing Category V threat and the Nightmare Fleet.

All this happened too suddenly, but he had expected it and had to overcome it.

The reason why the Soviet Alliance arranged for the four Northern Alliance ship girls who had just returned last night to accompany him was probably because of this consideration.

"Comrade Commander, don't worry, just do it!"

Kirov's sonorous and encouraging voice rang out over the communication channel.

And Chkalov's faint voice followed closely:
"Remember to collect more combat data from fighting Category V threats, and don't forget to get feedback on the new recruits' equipment system. I'm still waiting to conduct the next round of biological sampling for you."

Chkalov's words, with the same attitude as usual, made Lin Lan's reluctance dissipate a lot.

Arkhangelsk and other Northern Alliance shipgirls who did not travel with him on this trip also continued to speak with laughter:

"Comrade Commander, remember the royal tea party we agreed on. I have already prepared the black tea~"

"The Ice Fairy in Tashkent said that Tashkent wants to take Comrade Commander to enjoy the snow. Comrade Commander, you must return safely!"

"Comrade Commander, if you see Bai Qixue's family, please say hello for us!"

"I'm already looking forward to meeting my friends from the other four camps~ Mercury commemoration meta, if Commander loses even a hair, I will never let you go~"

……

Listening to the voices of the Northern Alliance ship girls saying goodbye to him and expressing their expectations for the future, Lin Lan looked at the Northern Alliance ship girls waving at them from below on the screen in front of him, and he didn't know when he had clenched his fists.

He had never had such a strong desire to completely eliminate X and all Category V threats that forced him to separate from his own ship girls.

"All systems have been checked. Assistant, the fleet's cube array engine has been preheated. You can issue the attack order."

Miss D looked at him with complicated eyes from behind, and finally spoke up to remind him.

"Well, let's go...Everyone, be careful."

He turned his head and nodded slightly to Miss D, then said his final goodbyes to the Northern Alliance ship girls who remained in the temporary port area.

Looking at the reluctant expressions of the Northern League girls on the screen, he imprinted this scene firmly in his memory.

The next second, the sci-fi battleships that were originally hovering in the low sky of the temporary port area, like dark clouds, were controlled by Miss D and sprayed out terrifying air waves from the rear.

In just a few breaths, these large anti-gravity floating warships turned into streams of light with the help of their terrifying magic cube array engines and dissipated into the sky at dawn.

The Northern Alliance girls standing at the temporary port looked in the direction of the floating fleet and felt empty in their hearts.

But they all knew that the commander's advice was by no means alarmist.

They also had to take action immediately so that the commander would have no worries.

If all goes well and the ancient Category V threat of Natlan is eliminated, they will be able to reunite with their companions in the port area together with the commander.

So soon, the Northern Alliance girls at the port all showed determined looks on their faces, and began to act one by one according to Lin Lan's combat arrangements.
