The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

Ise paused, unable to give a completely affirmative response.

"And I remind you by the way, if an egg hits a stone, you must be prepared to be crushed to pieces. Don't underestimate the military! In short, I will not agree to Nagato leaving. As her commander, she cannot leave here without my consent. If you really want to take Nagato back -"

Lin Shen laughed, his voice was cold.

"Then show me something that will impress me. You can't even handle the ten of us, and you still want to challenge the military? I'm afraid you will be completely wiped out, and your so-called flag will be trampled into the garbage dump of history."

"you--"

These purely provocative words once again made Ise's anger surge wildly.

She kept taking deep breaths, and then slowly suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Okay, okay, I know you are very confident, but you underestimate the polar night." Ise looked at Nagato again and said, "Lord Nagato, let's forget it this time. Next time, when I come again, I will definitely take you back!"

"you……"

"Flying Eagle, let's go!"

Without giving Nagato time to speak, Ise turned around and left the supply point. Feiying hurriedly followed him and left, leaving Nagato standing there, hesitant to speak.

Well, it's over now - this was the only thought left in Nagato's mind.

Lin Shen finally confronted Ji Ye, and it seemed that there was no hope for a peaceful solution to the dispute. The two sides would definitely fight each other next time, and the people sent by Ji Ye would probably not be just one or two messengers.

What should I do now? If a fight really breaks out, which side will I stand on?

Nagato's mind was full of confusion. She also heard what Lin Shen said just now. To be honest, what Lin Shen said made sense. Could she really go back like this? To the polar night? Could it really be that smooth... She still had to think about it again and again.

If you fail, you will die...

Not only is she fighting here, but she may also encounter the same situation after returning to Polar Night. What should she do then?

A lot of questions that she had not considered in detail before began to fill Nagato's mind, making her extremely entangled. Moreover, these entanglements may not be able to be answered at all.

"Okay, the enemy has left, let's all go and rest."

Lin Shen turned around and waved to Glasgow and the others as if nothing had happened.

"There will be combat operations tomorrow."

"..."

After hearing Lin Shen's words, the ship girls turned around and went back to rest.

After witnessing what happened just now, everyone had some thoughts, and these thoughts were quite different.

21. Announcement of the Arrival of Sakura (10)

What kind of person is Lin Shen? Asking this question to different people will give different answers. Even Glasgow, who knows him well, sometimes can't understand Lin Shen's plan. However, unlike other ship girls, even if she doesn't understand, Glasgow will choose to believe.

Besides Glasgow, the only two people with similar attitudes were Laffite and Hatsushimo. Well, we could also count Ayanami, Cupid, and McCall. These were the ones who had followed Lin Shen earlier, so they had a stronger sense of trust.

Others were less familiar.

Tirpitz did not comment on Lin Shen's behavior. Just as she said at the beginning, she was only responsible for observation. If it was appropriate, she would of course stay here. If it was not appropriate, she could choose to leave. Lin Shen did not impose any restrictions on her. And Jiang Feng was also holding an observation position and attitude.

They both have their own reasons for staying here. The only ones who are bound to the fleet are Nagato and Hinata who followed Nagato. After being rejected by Lin Shen and watching Lin Shen and Ise and the others officially confront each other, Nagato began to have a headache about how to deal with this matter in the future.

As for Hinata, she didn't need to think too much, she was just following Nagato. Whichever side Nagato chose, she would stand on, that's all.

"Hinata, what do you think of the polar night?" Nagato finally couldn't help asking Hinata during the night break. She really wanted to have someone to discuss things with, and now, except for Hinata, no one else was suitable to listen to her troubles.

"From my own perspective, I don't think they're that great." Hinata replied honestly, "The Midnight is full of extreme guys, and they all have a clear goal of revenge in their hearts. And the 'Heavy Sakura' in the Midnight are actually the same. They have always been wandering in the shadows, and basically have never had a direct conflict with humans."

"No direct conflict?" Nagato was a little surprised.

"Yes." Hinata nodded and explained; "There are many people in Polar Night, and they are very powerful. Ordinary conflicts are meaningless and have no benefits. Instead, they will expose themselves. Therefore, they usually don't show up easily. If there is a conflict and they plan to take action... they will all go out. Like the matter you are worried about, well, I guess the action they are talking about should also be the will of the entire Polar Night."

"The will of the entire Midnight..." Nagato's expression became much more gloomy. If this is the case, then even if she returns, she probably won't be able to influence the decision of the Sakura Empire. If they still have to "act" in the end, she doesn't know the specific content of the action, so she can only watch helplessly. Even if a bad result happens, Nagato can only passively accept it.

There is no autonomy, that's it.

"Yes, the will of the entire Polar Night. Those guys are very vindictive, and some of the grudges are still remembered until now, and there will always be a day to repay. If the operation fails, most of them will join the Torch, which may not be a bad idea. However, although I don't know much about the Torch, the organization that Polar Night can join... well, the people in it must have the purpose of revenge."

"…Hinata, have you ever been in the polar night before?"

"Yes, I have been there."

"Why did you leave again?" Nagato asked curiously.

Hinata spread his hands and said, "It's not suitable. Every organization has its own goals, directions, and intentions. Even if it is broken into many small parts, each small part still has its own direction in the end. Just like the dark night of the Royal Ark. I have been looking for my own direction, but I haven't found it after searching for so long. 'Revenge' in the polar night is not what I want, so I left naturally."

"Does everyone in the polar night want revenge?"

"At least that's what I've seen. Of course, there are a few who don't focus on it, and most of them just go with the flow. Just like me at the beginning. However, these people don't care about Ji Ye's decision. As long as there is a chance, they will certainly seek revenge. If I hadn't met you, if Ji Ye called me, I would definitely go back."

"But it's very dangerous, right? How are you going to get revenge, Ji Ye?"

"How to take revenge..." Hinata muttered, and suddenly laughed, "It's very simple. Whatever humans have done to us, we just send them back in the same exact way. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, is that fair? I think it's fair."

"Is this really possible?" Nagato asked one last question, "What if it can't be done? What if it fails?"

"If you fail, go to the torch."

"What if the torch fails? What if there's no chance of evacuation?"

"Then they will all die in battle, what else can they do?" Hinata said helplessly, "Nagato-sama, I know you are new and very afraid of death. But for people like us, or for those guys in Midnight, death is not their top priority. You know? For them, how they die is more important than whether they die or not. If it is for what they pursue and care about, they can all become cannon fodder on the battlefield."

"..." Nagato was silent. After a while, he asked, "Why aren't you afraid of death?"

"So, isn't that the reason?" Hinata replied. Seeing Nagato's unacceptable expression, he could only sigh and said again: "Okay, okay, I'll talk about my feelings again. Anyway, I don't know about others, but for me, death is nothing more than escaping from this terrible world. Isn't that a good thing? Those guys in Polar Night are all lonely souls wandering in the wilderness. If it weren't for the hatred entrusted to them, they would have committed suicide long ago. Whoever wants to stay in this broken world can stay there."

After listening to this, Nagato didn't know what she felt for a long time. She couldn't evaluate, couldn't feel, couldn't understand, and yet seemed to understand. Unable to understand, she hesitated and said, "This world is indeed very bad."

"Really?" Hinata smiled.

"But it's better than nothing." Nagato didn't want to agree with this statement, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it, so he could only add without any confidence, "Probably."

……

It doesn’t matter what the world is like, because the sun will rise the same the next day.

In the morning, the fleet, which was ready to go, set off directly under the command of Lin Shen.

This time, their target was the elite Siren troops led by elites like the Chaser. Behind the Chaser were all mass-produced Siren troops, and for the sake of mobility, they gave up their main firepower support, but their pursuit ability was greatly improved.

It is not easy to destroy these things one by one. The only way is to pull out all the troops led by these individual trackers, and then destroy them one by one, and when another tracker leads the troops to support, just withdraw and leave.

In this way, the target can be targeted without being surrounded.

Of course, it would be a very troublesome thing for an ordinary commander. But Lin Shen had a vision of 40 kilometers, so, under the premise of looking at the entire battlefield, he could still design the best attack route, and then let the fleet go up to initiate a "one-on-one" duel.

Although these Siren trackers are highly mobile, they are dispersed in order to search for Lin Shen and monitor a wider area. Their support speed is very fast, so they can accept this degree of dispersion. But... unfortunately, Lin Shen's fleet is faster in extermination.

In the first battle, everyone was present, the front-row vanguard ships were all in place, and then the rear-row main battleships were also in place. The battle officially began, and Lin Shen conducted macro and micro-level control and command, keeping track of the time and completely wiping out the target troops within the designed time.

If the combat mission cannot be completed within the specified time, Lin Shen will intervene directly and use "Deus ex Machina". He has tried not to do this as much as possible, mainly to avoid eating up the combat experience that the ship girl should have gained.

Although, every powerful warrior is built up through the countless scars on his body. It is impossible to grow into a top warrior without any injuries, right? That would require a very extraordinary talent. In short, Lin Shen did not expect this to happen.

Therefore, we were very restrained in the support we provided.

The battle proceeded in an orderly manner. Although there were time limits, compared to the previous situation where one could only fight back and forth in the crowd, running for his life, this regular battle rhythm was very comfortable.

By the time the Siren reinforcements arrived, Lin Shen had already led the fleet away from the original battle site and headed for the next location. Although he was still running around, he was not avoiding the enemy's pursuit, but simply rushing on his way. Therefore, the sense of oppression was much less.

It is relatively easier.

"Nagato."

"I am here……!"

Hearing Lin Shen suddenly calling him in the soul network, Nagato responded immediately.

"Starting tonight, when you go back, write me a detailed report on every battle today." Lin Shen said, "You have to write it every day. I have sent the relevant aspects to your phone. There is also a template in the soul network. Take a look."

"Ah, OK!" Nagato replied quickly. Although she was completely confused at the moment, what kind of battle report was this? What was being analyzed? Why was this thing suddenly needed... In short, although she was very confused, Nagato did see this thing in the soul network.

A complete template, very detailed. Nagato roughly confirmed it, and then began to feel a little scalp tingling. How can this be made like homework? It looks troublesome... However, since it was Lin Shen's request, she didn't dare to ask why.

Although I really want to ask, the answer I'm sure I'll get will be something like "Just do it".

So I just didn’t ask.

Because of this additional mission, Nagato's combat pressure today instantly increased. In order to complete the requirements of the report, she had to pay two or three more attention than others to pay attention to the situation in other places.

For example, when should we open fire to support, how to activate the main gun to better hit the target, why we should fire in this way, how to respond when teammates are in what state, how to better cooperate with teammates, why Glasgow and others have to cooperate in that way, why we need to maintain that formation, what are the benefits... and so on.

A lot anyway.

This template looks like an extra-long test paper.

Nagato read the contents while fighting and analyzing at the same time... Anyway, Hinata and Tirpitz who were beside her both noticed her abnormality.

"Nagato-sama, what's wrong?" Hinata asked curiously, "It seems like you are distracted a lot. The shot just now shouldn't have gone off the mark, right?"

"Um, sorry, I didn't mean to...! It's okay, I, it's just that the commander assigned me a task alone, so I was a little distracted. It's okay!" Nagato replied quickly.

"Oh..." Then Hinata stopped asking. It's not that he didn't care, but when he heard that it was Lin Shen's fault, he was too lazy to care. There was no need - there wouldn't be any problems anyway. Everything was under the commander's watch, so he could rest assured.

Even Hinata herself didn't notice anything wrong with this subtle reassurance.

Anyway, as long as the three words "commander" or "Lin Shen" are involved, there will be no problem. With that extremely difficult guy watching over them, what big problem can there be...

Nagato felt the same way, which was the underlying reason why she didn't ask Lin Shen "why". However, she herself had no awareness of this at all.

Anyway, just try your best to complete it.

Nagato thought so in his heart.

It shouldn't be something particularly difficult.

Hmm...probably.

The whole day's battle was over quickly. Under Lin Shen's control, there were no problems at all. The Siren's elite troops suffered a lot of losses. Unless they all huddled together tightly, they would be eaten away passively.

If they all gathered together, Lin Shen would not have to deal with the elite troops here. He could just leave here and look for the leek sirens stationed at the stronghold. Anyway, the training level is overwhelming, so what if you have so many defensive facilities? As long as I am fast enough, I can bypass them.

Anyway, those things completely abandoned portability for the sake of power.

This is the advantage of having fewer people.

They can run however they want, no problem at all, very flexible. But these ten people can always find the best route, never get lost, and never step into a dead end.

It’s like opening my third eye.

This is even more difficult to deal with.

If there is a commander on the Siren side, it should be a headache now. To deal with Lin Shen, either chase him to death, and use a highly mobile force of 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000, and with a high enough global vision, so that enough high-quality troops can be used to block Lin Shen.

Although, before that, Lin Shen had already fled.

Are you kidding? The surveillance range starting from 40 kilometers, is it just for decoration?

Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as Lin Shen does not seek death, he will not die.

He is invincible.

Is it open if it's open? (

In short, under Lin Shen's command, the operation went smoothly. The ship girls arrived at the designated resting place on time, took a bath, replenished their energy, maintained their equipment, and rested. Everything was arranged in an unconventional manner.

Only Nagato was working overtime to write a report because he had an additional task.

Her face was half anxious and half aggrieved, because she found that she couldn't write a few words for many questions. After finishing the work, Changmen handed it to Lin Shen tremblingly, like a primary school student handing in homework.

"Well... there is a lot of content, I don't know what to write at all..." Nagato said while observing Lin Shen's expression.

Lin Shen's expression did not change. He just glanced at the first battle report handed in by Nagato, then put it aside and said, "It's okay. It's normal for the first time. However, you'd better fill in all the contents later, and fill them in completely."

"But, but, it can't be filled at all...!"

"That's a matter of accumulation." Lin Shen crossed his legs and said, "I heard that the memory of a ship girl will never fade, which is basically equivalent to photographic memory?"

"Well... almost, yeah..."

"Well, I'll send you a few books later, and you can take some time these few days to memorize them all. The content isn't much, just a few million words. After you memorize the contents of those books, you should be able to fill in all the empty spaces."

"...Oh." Nagato's expression was a little dull. One million words, why don't you let me eat the book? One million words, how long will it take to finish it? Even if KanColle has a photographic memory, this is not a camera. Even if it is a camera, I don't know how long it will take to take pictures of more than one million words.

Finally, Nagato couldn't help but ask, "Why do you suddenly have to recite the book...?"

Her face was full of grievance.

Lin Shen's expression remained unchanged, he just asked coldly: "Why does the ship girl drink oil?"
