Chapter 933: Chapter 541: Deep Sea Bombards Red Maple Fortress

"This should be a Deep Sea supply ship."

Zhu Yue looked at the wreckage floating on the sea and made her judgment.

Beside her, Purple Moon’s expression instantly darkened.

Deep Sea supply, Deep Sea supply—by definition, it’s a logistics unit that should appear in the Deep Sea rear.

What does it mean for it to show up here?

Either there’s a faction in Red Maple Fortress colluding with the Deep Sea, using Deep Sea supply ships to send Red Maple Fortress’s resources to the Deep Sea.

Or the Deep Sea has already advanced to the front of Red Maple Fortress, and this place has become their rear.

Obviously, judging from the current situation, at least the Deep Sea hasn’t advanced to that extent yet.

There are still Deep Sea spies inside Red Maple Fortress.

Alice didn’t care about any Deep Sea spies; after the Deep Sea supply ship sank, a large amount of supplies were floating on the sea surface, and she was happily directing the shipgirls to salvage them.

"This time it’s finally not that kind of filthy manga." Alice looked at the normal resources in her hands and said, moved.

Although this was only her second time sinking a Deep Sea supply ship, the perverted manga from the first time had left such a deep impression on Alice that she figured she would never forget the scenes depicted in it for the rest of her life.

While Alice was happily salvaging resources over here, the City Lord of Red Maple Fortress, Luo Chengbing, was staring at the distant sea with a face full of melancholy.

Although he had used one insignificant head to settle a score that had dragged on for many years,

the fundamental problem of Red Maple Fortress was still far from being solved.

The newly inaugurated President of the Azure Federation had already made up their mind to completely take back Red Maple Fortress.

This fortress, opened up back in the day by the Legendary shipgirl Enterprise, was the Azure Federation’s bridgehead against the Deep Sea in the Death Sea, and absolutely had to be held in their hands.

The Deep Sea in the Death Sea were almost the strongest Deep Sea known; they seemed to be contemporaries of the Legendary Ships who opened up and established the Azure Federation, and possessed power far beyond that of ordinary Deep Sea.

Compared to that President of the Federation, as City Lord of Red Maple Fortress, Luo Chengbing was much more aware of the energy those Deep Sea contained.

That power was terrifying; even if he pulled out the entire fleet of Red Maple Fortress, it wouldn’t be enough to withstand the baptism of a single Deep Sea Fleet.

Only that batch of Legendary Ships from back then could stand against such Deep Sea.

After prolonged contact with these Deep Sea, Luo Chengbing felt even more awe for the strength of those Legendary Ships led by Enterprise back then; they had actually pushed the Azure Federation’s territory forward to the position of Red Maple Fortress while facing such a powerful Deep Sea cluster head-on.

Of course Luo Chengbing knew the importance of Red Maple Fortress. Once the Deep Sea crossed this place, they could charge straight across open ground and strike directly at the Azure Federation’s largest city, Lanyuan. If the Federation wanted to take this place back, they would likely have to pay an unimaginable price, with countless people dying in this war.

However, he understood all the logic—so why did it have to be his interests that were sacrificed?

Luo Chengbing was absolutely unwilling to hand over the power in his hands and bow to a little girl he didn’t even know.

"Have the goods all been sent out?" Luo Chengbing asked hoarsely.

"They’ve been sent, sir," the man behind him said, head lowered. "But if we do this, there’s no way back for us..."

"From the day my grandfather began offering Red Maple Fortress’s resources to the Deep Sea in exchange for them not attacking the fortress, our Luo Family already had no way back." Luo Chengbing’s hand clutched the back of the chair before him in a death grip as he muttered, "In recent years, the Deep Sea’s appetite has grown bigger and bigger. We can’t feed them anymore. We have to make a choice between these things."

Boom!

At that moment, an explosion suddenly sounded from not far away. Accompanied by the trembling of the ground, the furniture in the room began to shake violently.

The shaking didn’t last long.

We’re under bombardment?

Luo Chengbing immediately made his judgment.

Back when he was young, he had been a Commander who earned military merit at sea.

"What’s going on?" Luo Chengbing’s face changed drastically. "Didn’t we just send our goods out? How is the Deep Sea acting so fast?"

Luo Chengbing was very certain that the shipgirls in the fortress didn’t have main guns of such large caliber; not even the battleships did. Therefore, this kind of attack could only have come from the Deep Sea.

But the time he had agreed on with the Deep Sea for the attack was supposed to be after the Federation’s inspection team arrived, wasn’t it? And the letters of contact and the gifts they sent had only just gone out the door.

With doubts in his mind, Luo Chengbing was hustled toward the safe room by his bodyguards.

At the same time, the Deep Sea’s bombardment was advancing across Red Maple Fortress in a methodical creeping barrage.

They didn’t look like they were here to seize Red Maple Fortress at all. If these bombardments had concentrated on the key buildings of the fortress, those structures would have been destroyed in the first instant.

Well... all right, thinking about it carefully, there really was no need.

The most critical building of Red Maple Fortress—the logistics and supply resource depot—had already been burned down by their own people not long ago, so there was no need for the Deep Sea to lift a finger.

The sounds from the fortress naturally also drew the attention of Alice, who was searching the sea surface for targets.

Seeing the black smoke rising from the distant clusters of buildings and the explosions flashing from time to time, even someone as straightforward as Alice realized something was happening.

Sure enough, Purple Moon soon received a communication from Red Maple Fortress.

"Red Maple Fortress is currently under attack by the Deep Sea." Purple Moon quickly reported the situation to Alice. "They’re ordering us to return at once and rescue Red Maple Fortress."
