[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Fire Dragon Burn Warehouse]
[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Accidental Success]
Huh?
How did revenge succeed so inexplicably?
Shen Sui looked at a passage, stunned, and even flipped back to review the previous events.
If it weren’t for the Dueling Device displaying Alice’s psychological activity proving she truly achieved success by accident, even Shen Sui would have suspected Alice did it on purpose.
After all, a random missile strike accomplished one of the main current tasks, which seems impossible in the real world.
Combining with Purple Moon’s description of the process, Shen Sui had to admit this fact: under a series of coincidental factors, Alice’s missile really seemed to have eliminated the Commander who caused Zhu Yue’s death.
And Alice only learned the Commander’s name from the bulletin board recently.
However, a single missile burning billions of resources at Red Maple Fortress indicates there’s definitely a huge issue behind this number.
When also considering the City Lord of Red Maple Fortress is suspected of associating with the Deep Sea, the issue here becomes even bigger.
[Purple Moon stood there, accusing with Zhu Yue the ordeal they experienced not long ago.]
["The City Lord of Red Maple was very firm, completely refusing to allow us to meet with the Commander," Purple Moon said sadly. "By the time we saw the Commander again, all that was left was a cold, lifeless body."]
["They said the Commander was a Deep Sea spy, here to sabotage Red Maple Fortress’s strategic supplies in preparation for the coming Deep Sea invasion. The missile strike followed by the Commander’s appearance at the scene is the best proof," said Purple Moon, biting her lip. "Plus, the serial number on the missile fragments was registered under the Commander’s name, so the evidence is conclusive."]
[Zhu Yue was silent. She didn’t know whether to be happy or sad at this moment.]
[The Commander did sink her, and Zhu Yue could never forget that. At the moment she heard the news of the Commander’s death, her hatred turned into an uncontrollable joy.]
[On the other hand, Zhu Yue could not completely forget the beautiful memories with her former Commander like he did, and at the news of his death, all those past sweet memories with the Commander rushed to her mind.]
[At this moment, Zhu Yue’s emotions were very complicated.]
["Ah? That missile was actually a legitimately registered product?" Alice said nonchalantly, "And your Commander only died just like this? As expected, killing a Commander is not a myth."]
One had to admit, Alice’s sarcasm hit the mark.
With this one-in-a-thousand guidance accuracy missile being a legitimately registered product, how did such a product pass the weapons department’s certification?
[Zhu Yue quietly tugged at Alice’s sleeve, signaling her not to say such things at this time.]
[Only then did Purple Moon notice the blonde girl beside Zhu Yue: "This is..."]
["My name is Alice." Alice lifted her head, looking directly into Purple Moon’s eyes, and said proudly, "I am Zhu Yue’s Commander."]
["Commander..." Purple Moon hesitated, looking towards Zhu Yue.]
[Zhu Yue nodded, affirming Alice’s statement.]
["You... you’re a shipgirl bound to a Commander!" Purple Moon said in shock, looking between Zhu Yue and Alice.]
[But Alice took the initiative, staring down Purple Moon and saying, "I think the investigation doesn’t allow your involvement for other reasons, right?"]
[This statement seemed to strike a chord with Purple Moon. She bit her lip without replying, but Alice provided the answer for her:]
["For a Commander suspected of colluding with the Deep Sea, it’s hard to say how many shipgirls under him are innocent, right?" Alice spoke sharply.]
["No! We haven’t colluded with the Deep Sea!" Purple Moon shouted, extremely agitated, with tears welling up in her eyes, looking deeply wronged.]
[Zhu Yue couldn’t bear to see Alice pressing Purple Moon so hard, as Purple Moon, being the big sister of the fleet, always took good care of her, being a very kind and gentle big sister.]
[Alice held down Zhu Yue’s hand, tilting her head back and loudly questioning Purple Moon, "If you didn’t, can you guarantee other shipgirls in the fleet didn’t either? They might have already been involved in colluding with the Deep Sea!"]
["Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Purple Moon refused to accept such a reality.]
[Alice snorted coldly, "Then think carefully, were there any strange happenings in the fleet before this incident?"]
[Purple Moon was taken aback, then looked at Zhu Yue beside Alice.]
[Her mind started reviewing all the events that happened in the fleet over the past period.]
[First, the initial ship of the Commander, Zhu Yue, disappeared during a mission. At that time, Purple Moon, who had received Zhu Yue’s distress signal, wanted to dispatch shipgirls to rescue her.]
[But just before they were about to depart, Li Yue, coming from the Commander’s orders, arrived, saying Zhu Yue had suffered a Deep Sea attack during the expedition mission, was seriously injured, and had been sent to the rear for repair and treatment.]
[Then the news of Zhu Yue’s retirement came, and since then, Purple Moon hadn’t seen Zhu Yue again.]
[Thinking about this, Purple Moon couldn’t help but closely observe Zhu Yue, noticing her Ship Armor was damaged but certainly not to the extent of requiring retirement.]
