"Azuma does so many things with the goal of keeping the Admiral firmly by her side. Once the Admiral feels he can't do without Azuma, he will stay by her side at all times and marry her. Before marriage, Azuma is already so unrestrained, what would happen after marriage? The Admiral might become even more useless!"
Aircraft Carrier, upon hearing how wicked Azuma was, said angrily, "That Azuma is too wicked. We cannot let her become older sister's Wife Ship. To prevent older sister from falling further into uselessness, I will definitely stop her."
"That's right! To prevent the Admiral from falling further, we can team up against Azuma. We can't let Azuma be the Admiral's Wife Ship, so I'm not your enemy, but rather a friend, because I won't make a move on the Admiral. Now, let's high-five and form an alliance," Ayanami said, raising her hand to high-five Aircraft Carrier.
"You make a good point. Having a non-threatening ally like you is indeed good. I agree to ally with you against Azuma." Aircraft Carrier raised her right palm and high-fived Ayanami. From then on, they formed an unbreakable alliance to prevent Azuma from becoming Illustrious's Wife Ship.
Glancing at Ayanami, Aircraft Carrier couldn't help but think to herself: It's not bad to have a fool help me become older sister's Wife Ship! I must make good use of her.
After retracting her hand, Ayanami laughed inwardly: Let this idiot deal with Azuma! I'll secretly capture the Admiral, and then I can become the Admiral's Wife Ship!
Looking at Aircraft Carrier, Ayanami was quite disdainful. What a pathetic fellow, being used as a pawn without even knowing it.
Seeing them get along harmoniously, Illustrious was very happy. Who wouldn't want their harem to get along harmoniously?
Illustrious, Aircraft Carrier, and Ayanami went together to gather the Third Mobile Fleet. This fleet had lost forty-two Ship Girls, originally having one hundred and five, now only sixty-three remained. It was quite tragic. Who knew how many would be left after the upcoming Third Abyssal Anchorage!
Dido's First Main Fleet only had fifty-six ships left, and Cang Long's Second Support Fleet only had fifty-one ships left. For the sunken Ship Girls, everyone could only mourn internally before continuing forward.
Everyone knew there would be sacrifices when they came in. They couldn't stop moving forward because of their companions' sinking. Dido led the three fleets grandly towards the Third Abyssal Anchorage... Due to the interference of Nightmare Power, the Bee Camera ship device fell into the sea, unable to transmit video back to the Projection ship device on Azure Island outside. This inability to project made a large group of Admirals curse Wu Goudan.
"Didn't you say your two ship devices weren't afraid of the abyssal mist's electromagnetic shielding? How come there's no projection now? Your projection quality is no good! Hurry up and refund our money."
"Well said. He also said he wasn't afraid of the ruins' order and rule shielding. I think he was just bragging, and now he's been exposed! How dare you use this trash ship device to make money! I demand a refund, otherwise you won't leave today."
"The screen seemed to disappear suddenly when Aircraft Carrier Hime activated Nightmare Burst. It seems your Bee Camera ship device might have fallen and become abyssal! If so, you should return our money! Not only that, you also prevented us from watching the whole process, so you should compensate us."
The noisy clamor made Wu Goudan very angry. He shouted, "Why are you still in the mood to argue about that little bit of money! The Ship Girls inside might be completely annihilated! Aren't you worried?"
At Wu Goudan's words, the Admirals present immediately fell silent, all beginning to worry about their Ship Girls inside.
Seeing that they temporarily stopped demanding their resources and supplies back, Wu Goudan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at their worried faces, Wu Goudan encouraged them, "Don't worry! Our Ship Girls will definitely be blessed with good fortune and safely overcome this difficulty. Come, let's pray to God together for the safety of our Ship Girls!"
Hearing Wu Goudan's encouragement, the Admirals felt a little embarrassed. They had been too materialistic just now, caring about money more than their Ship Girls, arguing desperately with Wu Goudan. That was too pathetic, simply trash Admirals!
Awakened, they immediately closed their eyes with Wu Goudan and began to pray, muttering continuously: "God bless, bless my Ship Girls to be safe and sound!"
Wu Goudan opened one eye, looking at this group of Admirals he had fooled with a few words, full of contempt. 'With your intelligence, you want to fight me? That's a huge joke.' If there was still no projection after half an hour of praying, Wu Goudan planned to slip away.
Time passed minute by minute. During this time, some people couldn't help but want to open their eyes, but Wu Goudan loudly reprimanded them, saying that opening their eyes suddenly showed insincerity to God, and if the Ship Girls weren't safe, they would be to blame. This scared them into immediately closing their eyes.
After twenty minutes, the projection still hadn't appeared. Wu Goudan couldn't stand still anymore. It seemed all the Ship Girls inside had turned into Abyssals! He'd better hurry up and escape!
Wu Goudan cautiously tried to sneak away, but accidentally tripped over a stone on his escape route, falling directly to the ground.
With a splash, the Admirals who were praying for their Ship Girls opened their eyes, wanting to know what the sound was, only to find that Wu Goudan was actually trying to escape, and immediately became furious. One Admiral shouted, "No, Wu Goudan is trying to escape, we can't let him go."
Seeing all the Admirals' gazes on him, Wu Goudan swallowed hard and said fearfully, "Um, I have an urgent need, I need to use the restroom. I'm not trying to escape, you have to believe me!"
You're lying to ghosts, do you take us for fools! The Admirals all rushed over.
Facing this group of Admirals who wanted to tear him apart, Wu Goudan was scared out of his wits and wanted to run, but due to his overweight build, he was out of breath after a few steps and was caught by the Admirals behind him.
"Run! Why aren't you running anymore! We initially thought you were a good person for encouraging us, but now seeing you run away, it's clear you were just fooling us earlier. Damn it! How dare you deceive our feelings? You can cry all you want, but you won't get our forgiveness."
"How shameless! I even considered you a good person. You've disappointed us greatly!"
"Why talk so much to him? Let's beat him up first, then get our resources and supplies back."
Just as they were about to beat Wu Goudan, they heard a female Admiral's shout. "Stop! The projection ship device has a picture! Our Ship Girls haven't been wiped out."
This shout made them stop. They all looked towards the projection ship device, and upon seeing that there was indeed a picture, they abandoned Wu Goudan and rushed to watch the projection ship device.
