Chapter 66: The Battle in Central Western Sea

The Combined Operation First Fleet, Second Fleet, and Third Fleet, along with Hibiki's Fourth and Fifth Fleet, were on a mission to attack the abyssals in the Central Western Sea. They had received intel that the abyssals had been launching raids on nearby shipping lanes, and it was up to the kanmusu to put an end to their attacks.

Hibiki and her fleet were assigned to lead the charge, with the other fleets providing support from behind. As they sailed towards the abyssals, Hibiki couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness wash over her. She had been in many battles before, but this one felt different. It was as if the abyssals had been waiting for them, and were ready to put up a fight.

As they approached the abyssals' position, Hibiki's fleet came under heavy fire. The abyssals had set up a formidable defense, with battleships and carriers raining down bombs and torpedoes from above. Hibiki ordered her fleet to split up and flank the enemy, hoping to catch them off guard.

The plan worked, and the combined fleet managed to gain the upper hand. The kanmusu fought fiercely, unleashing their powerful weapons on the abyssals. The Fourth Fleet, led by Hibiki, was particularly effective, taking out several enemy battleships and carriers with their devastating torpedoes.

But the abyssals weren't going down without a fight. As the battle raged on, more and more of them emerged from the depths, their numbers seemingly endless. The kanmusu were pushed to their limits, struggling to hold back the enemy's relentless onslaught.

Hibiki knew they couldn't keep this up forever. She had to come up with a new plan, and fast. That's when she noticed something strange. The abyssals seemed to be congregating around a single ship, a massive battleship that dwarfed everything else on the battlefield.

Hibiki realized that this was their chance. She ordered her fleet to focus all their firepower on the giant battleship, hoping to take it out and cripple the abyssals' command structure.

The kanmusu launched wave after wave of torpedoes and bombs at the battleship, their attacks converging on a single point. And then, all at once, the battleship exploded in a massive fireball, sending shockwaves across the entire battlefield.

The explosion marked the turning point of the battle. The abyssals, now without their central command, began to falter. The kanmusu took advantage of their weakened state, pressing the attack and driving the abyssals back.

Finally, after hours of intense fighting, the abyssals were defeated. The kanmusu had emerged victorious, their ships battered and scarred, but still standing tall. Hibiki looked out across the Central Western Sea, watching as the last of the abyssals retreated back into the depths.

It had been a hard-fought battle, but in the end, the kanmusu had prevailed. And Hibiki knew that they would be ready for whatever the abyssals threw at them next.
