West of the Boro Sea, on the bridge of the cruiser Harpoon.
A group of officers led by Li Minghui stood before the control console, staring unblinkingly at the glaring radar signals on the screen.
The Legion's airships had not taken any stealth measures. In fact, they had no need to.
With targets that huge floating in the sky, unless they were too far away or you were practically blind, you did not even need radar to see them clearly with the naked eye.
"Four airships... Tsk tsk, what an extravagant move." Staring at the rippling rings on the screen, the adjutant beside Li Minghui could not help curling his lips.
The captain beside them also clenched his fists and placed them on the console.
"This is too much! Those bastards flew straight over our heads!"
"...If only the Seacliff were still here."
"How many times have you said that? My ears are growing calluses."
Salvaging and repairing a sunken battleship cost no less than building a brand-new one.
The Southern Sea Alliance could not afford that staggering expense, and the Assembly of Representatives would never approve a proposal that brought no benefit to its citizens.
In fact, not just the Assembly of Representatives—even Li Minghui himself felt there was no need to build another Seacliff.
With the arrival of the new era, that thing was destined to become obsolete.
Just like the "Steel Airship" it had been designed to rival.
"It doesn't matter."
Lowering his arms from his chest, Li Minghui adjusted his officer's cap and continued calmly.
"...Since the Academy said they would intervene, we'll leave it to them."
At the same time, in another world.
