December 25th, in the early morning, within the central waters of the Flame Sea.
Under the illumination of the dawn, a battleship with a spectacular superstructure was cutting through the waves at a rapid pace toward the west. Not far away, a light cruiser blew its whistle. Further out at sea was another imposing battleship, the sister ship of the Fleet's flagship "Damen," named "Luo" and belonging to the First Battle Division. Scattered nearby were dozens of cruisers and destroyers.
Indeed, this was a part of the main battle corps of the Saiyi Imperial Navy's permanent fleet.
It was still dark when Takano arrived at the corridor outside the Command Bridge.
In fact, he hadn't slept at all that night.
It wasn't just excitement, but also anxiety.
