Naval Gacha System: It's Time To Monopolize The Seven Seas! Chapter 119: | 119 | Status Confirmation

Within the Deerfolk Tribe, Hermona stood in the docks watching several beastfolks preparing a light and fast sailing ship. In order to start raiding for armants and supplies, they needed to be quick and imdiate, not giving their opponents ti to react.

But as she observed them in silence. She couldn't help but rember the conversation she had with the big man of the United Navy. He sounded lax, but was inquisitory. Each of his words were asking so sort of information from her.

And she had no choice but to comply.

According to him, a task force should be sent to confirm what she had said. She didn't hesitate to believe his words. After all, for so reason, she had been feeling the stare of soone else.

It was an instinct she had received as a wyvern rider, so she trusted it with her life.

The fact that they arrived re hours after their conversation ant that the so-called heretics were already targeting the colony all along. They were rely part of the gears that would start the machine.

She didn't know if she should fear such proposition or not, but there was one thing that was clear to the wyvern rider. The United Navy were certainly capable, which ant that the fall of the colony might not be so far in the future.

"Lady Hermona, we have prepared the needed arsenal to start raiding. Our best sailors have aboard the ship and are waiting for you to take command." One of the young deerfolks reported to the wyvern rider.

She looked at him, and noticed his anxious expression. This made her squint her eyes as she understood that sothing was amiss.

"Thank you for your assistance," But she rely nodded in gratefulness and walked towards their raiding ship. The young beastfolk could only observe with worry as she walked away from him.

As Hermona arrived before the ship, she noticed the unnatural silence. She furrowed her eyebrows as she practically realized what was happening in front of her.

"There's no need for such intricate and useless sches. You all must be the ones sent by the United Navy to investigate the matters of the tribe."

After she uttered her words, several figures erged in front, beside, and behind her. It seems that she was surrounded, but she maintained her calm and determined expression.

"Apologies for the trouble, Miss Hermona. We are the reconnaissance team sent by the United Navy to confird the status of this island and its inhabitants." Hermona heard the aloof words, causing her to gaze towards it.

She then saw a white-wolf beastfolk, who was sowhat beautiful even to a human like Hermona. The most interesting part of the beastfolk was her clothing, akin to a black military-leather suit.

"I thought it was re rumors, but it seems that beastfolks have allied themselves to the United Navy." She muttered while looking at rcedes. Her words were clearly heard, making the beastfolk remark.

"We were rely liberated, and shall continue to do so."

"At any rate, we have done our observations these past few hours, Miss Hermona. Naturally, this was under the direct orders of our fleet admiral." rcedes expressed, while Hermona raised an eyebrow.

"And, are you satisfied with your observations?" Hermona questioned, wanting to know the thoughts of the other side.

"That is classified, but we will be assisting you in your activities as raiding rebels." rcedes didn't answer her question and rely said what they would be doing with her.

"Even though I'd like you to be honest, I guess we really aren't in equal terms so I'll shut my mouth." Hermona mumbled to herself and walked towards the raiding ship where most of her crew were conversing with Minokins.

It was an intriguing sight that made her wryly smile.

"Alright, this newly-arrived team will be assisting us in our raiding activities. They are allies, and I hope that the relationship between the two of us foster." Hermona uttered to her crew and the reconnaissance team.

While she was giving her speech, rcedes observed in the sidelines. Even though it was peculiar for a human girl to be leading a beastfolk tribe. After observing Hermona, rcedes understood the reason why.

She had the qualities of a leader, sothing severely lacking in the Deerfolk Tribe.

rcedes had already heard about how she burned an entire dieval brig to save the so-called Saintess. She even killed the supposed colonial envoy and his guards, creating the first rebellion in the colony of the archipelago.

'But a wyvern rider. How did she co ashore to this island? Perhaps, there is much more that we should know about this strange human girl.' rcedes quietly thought to herself and closed her eyelids.

She rembered the previous monts where she called the fleet about the status confirmation.

...

rcedes stopped observing Hermona who was leading the preparation of the raiding party. She glanced at her team beside her and the unusually silent Espada.

The status of the island and its inhabitants had been confird.

A human girl was leading them and they were wholeheartedly supporting it.

"Do you find it strange, Espada?" rcedes softly inquired to the giant Minokin, who rely grunted in response before answering her inquiry.

"I have noticed that this tribe lack anyone with the qualities of a leader. I supposed that this colony have done a better job at culling future rebels from their islands. Nonetheless, in desperate tis, she stood against the oppressing force."

"Even if she was a human, she had done sothing that they couldn't do. It gave them hope for their freedom, making her the one that holds their torch. A patriot."

"As such, as peculiar as it might seem, I don't find it strange." Espada's answer made a lot of sense and opened a lot of ideas inside rcedes's head. It appears that there was a reason why he was the forr warchief of the Minokin Tribe, or the now called the State of Minos.

"I guess you are correct about that."

"Now that we have confird their status, it's about ti to contact the fleet." rcedes took out a radio and opened a communication line.

anwhile, in the seas beside the archipelago colony was the piercing formation of ships, the temporary fleet, Storm. Inside the fleet was the UNS Light Bringer and the UNS Jaeger of the Blue Seas.

Inside the combat information center of the UNS Light Bringer was Captain Lux, the first captain of the United Navy.

"Sir, the reconnaissance team has opened a communication line. Requesting for connection." A communication operator reported, causing the captain to nodded in agreent and respond.

"Connect, and have them in our speakers."

"Affirmative, Captain Lux." The communication operator swiftly began operating the comms and connected the line to the onboard speakers.

*ZZZzzzzz... This is Lieutenant rcedes of the Special Response Unit Reconnaissance Team, please respond.*

rcedes's words echoed throughout the combat information center, while the captain of the UNS Light Bringer replied. "Communication open to UNS Light Bringer."

"Lieutenant, has the status been confird?" He calmly inquired while gazing through the screens displayed by their drones

*Captain Lux, status is confird. The Deerfolk Tribe are now rebelling against the colony and its leader is a human girl. We will be advancing to phase two of Operation Storming Freedom, thereby assisting the rebels.*

*The fleet is free to sail towards the heart of the colony.*

Hearing the confirmation of Lieutenant rcedes, Captain Lux grinned and felt excitent in his heart. He looked at his intelligence officers and ordered.

"Send this information to our data link. Set our course to the colonial center of this archipelago and prepare for battle!"

"Lieutenant rcedes, take care of yourselves and your mission. We will be relying in your assistance in the battle." Captain Lux uttered through the comms.

*We shall not fail, Captain Lux. After all, we are the Special Response Unit of the Fleet Admiral and the Dragoness.* Captain Lux smiled after hearing what she had said as the transmission closed.

Back to the island, rcedes turned off the radio and glanced at her n.

"Let's et with this rebel leader of ours for phase two."

...

In the present, the reconnaissance team was currently sailing with the raiding team of the Deer Folk Tribe. Their mission, with the help of the map looted from the colonial envoy, was to attack the rchant lanes of the archipelago.

According to the map, the archipelago had a busy sea. Business was practically booming with various exploited tribes accelerating it.

The reconnaissance team stood in the bow as they maintained contact with the fleet. From their ssages, it seems that the fleet was re 50 kiloters away from the main colony in the archipelago. It shouldn't take long before the official battle of Operating Storming Freedom.

"And it shouldn't take long for ours too." rcedes muttered to herself as she noticed a shadowy silhouette in the distance. It was none other than their target, a rchant ship.

"dieval brig detected 6 clicks in the east!" Espada shouted, bringing the attention of the crew and Hermona. All of the looked at the direction his eyes was pointed at and saw a black dot.

"Set our course to the east, sail at full colours." Hermona ordered the young deerfolks who imdiately uncovered more of their sails. The helmsman turned the wheel, setting the ship to the east.

Even though clearly inexperience, the deerfolks were swift.

"Espada, it's ti to take that out." rcedes ordered the giant Minokin, making him grin. After all, he was very excited from the weapon they were given by the United Navy.

"I was wondering when you would order to take it out." He remarked while taking out parts of the Anzio 20mm Vulcan from his bag.
