The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"No." Ise shook his head, not looking at Nagato, but seemed to be distracted, thinking about something.

"You'll die!" Nagato shouted.

"Attack." Ise ignored her words and gave the order to attack.

The twenty-four ship girls standing behind him immediately launched an attack.

The ship's equipment has been prepared and can open fire at any time.

The naginata in his hand already had a hint of hunger in it.

This time, Ise didn't rush forward together.

She knew the outcome of this battle.

It will be very difficult to win.

Even though he has brought so many elites here.

Each of them is a top-notch warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles.

The wounds on his body were already too numerous to count.

Like a knife that is constantly being sharpened.

It has become extremely sharp.

When the knife is unsheathed, it is to take away the enemy's head.

If it is not for this purpose, there is no need to dig it out and let it get dusty.

The war that broke out in an instant did not show a one-sided trend.

In a two-on-one situation, the battle reached a brief stalemate.

Fierce artillery fire continued to explode in this open area.

Both sides have very strong ship girls, and the difference in numbers makes up for the difference in training level to a certain extent, making it difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.

But it's only time.

It could be one minute, it could be two minutes.

The life-and-death fight between ship girls will not last too long.

The outcome is often decided in an instant at a single opportunity.

Ise knows all of this.

But this time they came, just like last time.

There is not just one purpose.

Nagato knew nothing, he only knew that time was needed - time.

What a luxury it is nowadays.

During the long battles and attacks, Polar Night also suffered considerable losses.

Like snowflakes that begin to melt.

As part of the polar night, the ship girls of the "Especially Sakura" warships also suffered heavy losses.

They were unable to achieve their stated strategic goals and had to settle for the next best thing.

If we say that for the mutants from other camps, the attacks during this period were a carnival.

For the mutants of Sakura Empire, this is completely different.

They naturally have two directions:

Nagato is just one of them.

Recapturing Nagato is as difficult as attacking the safe zone.

That's fine.

The main thing is that not all mutants of the Sakura Empire regard recapture of Nagato as their highest priority.

After waiting so long for the chance to exact revenge on humans, he completely fell out with them and exposed his existence.

Polar Night has also completely come to the fore.

Some of them also have higher priority goals.

For this part of the mutants, they don't need flags.

And the variants that need flags...can also be divided into radical and conservative.

For the conservative side, they knew how difficult it was to snatch Nagato away from Lin Shen - all of Lin Shen's combat experience and the strength of his ship girls were enough of a deterrent for those who were not blind and did not intend to turn a blind eye.

Since it is completely impossible to succeed, of course I would just not come.

And those ship girls who knew they would die but still aggressively wanted to recapture Nagato, how could they give up just because of Nagato's few words?

Their presence here means they only accept two outcomes.

Either bring Nagato back, or don't go back at all.

The interior of the Polar Night is not monolithic, it is just that they are all the same in general.

It’s just that there are many paths leading to that general direction.

How can walking not be walking?

Each different group has different demands.

Therefore, the trend of action is of course completely different.

For Ise, this is the only feeling she has now.

What a mess.

too messy.

As relevant research results are released one by one.

Everyone was becoming increasingly agitated.

The radicals think the conservatives are too radical.

Conservatives feel that the radicals are not radical enough.

The radicals thought about it and agreed, that’s right, so they became even more radical.

"First, we must recapture Nagato. With her around, it will be easier to gather all the scattered Sakura Empire shipgirls. But the problem now is that we can't recapture her, and we don't have enough time."

"You could be more direct with your words."

"Let's find a few people who are not afraid of death to sacrifice to the flag."

“…What’s the point of this?”

"We can't just do nothing. Although Lin Shen is very strong, how can we know if it's not possible if we don't try? Moreover, if Nagato can't make up her mind, we can help her make up her mind to leave Lin Shen. As the flagship of the Sakura Empire, based on her performance as you said before, if so many people are sent there to sacrifice, she will sooner or later be unable to withstand the heavier pressure."

"...This is too insidious."

"People can't move because the pressure is not great enough. I also want to give Nagato some time to adapt, but we don't have time, you know it very well. The real elite can't be sent to you. This is the last batch. However, they can still be used."

"Them? You've already used up all the radical ones."

"No, I mean...they, the ones who just joined in."

“…………”

"If you can come back this time, I'll leave this matter to you. If you can't come back, remember to die at Nagato's hands, and I'll leave this matter to Toei."

She said so.

"Take those children and go see our great flagship."

"…I'm not surprised at all. Perhaps I should have left with Hinata."

"Which Hyuuga are you talking about?"

"You know that."

"It's not too late now. Isn't she with Nagato? Unlike the rest of us, she might be more casual, which has its advantages."

"..."

Ise spent a lot more time in silence.

This has become even more true since the Midnight Operation began and the Sakura Empire began to join.

At that time, she also remained silent.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

"……Um."

Ise came to his senses and realized that the battle that had lasted for several minutes seemed to be beginning to have a clear end.

Lin Shen’s fleet is still very strong.

They seem to be getting stronger forever——

Just like the polar night.

However, they have a much greater chance of recovery than the polar night mutants.

For Polar Night, if you want to achieve your goal, you need to be even more unscrupulous.

The lower the limit, the easier it is to act.

You can also get more opportunities.

But Lin Shen’s fleet doesn’t need it.

From this perspective, maybe it's quite enviable.

You can become stronger without paying any extra cost.

Someone can take on the bottom line as support.

These are the things that Lin Shen fought for.

There is no such "deep forest" on this side of the polar night.

Someone who is truly in a vulnerable position.

What else can you use to maintain your extremely fragile bottom line?

They don't deserve it.

Ise understood this, so he didn't blame anyone.

What that guy said, "They're all going to die anyway, so why not make their deaths more valuable?" is cold-blooded, but it's also true.

The battle here is finally coming to an end.

Ise looked towards Nagato.

Nagato also dealt with the two opponents who came to attack him.

She didn't look good.

She could not see any fear or regret in the eyes of these ship girls.

They rushed towards him desperately.

He must take me away at all costs.

Deep down there is little else but desire.

That kind of desire is like wanting to rely on something.

But Nagato couldn't bear this kind of reliance.

Their attack left no room for maneuver.

Every move is a killer move.

Nagato could only continue in the same way.

Then he suppressed the opponent with his superior strength which he had honed long ago.

Her ship outfit, equipment, training level, Lin Shen's soul network enhancement, and her own upper limit are all not just for show.
