Chapter 623: Entrance to the Holy Land Boundary on a Moonlit Night

The bright silver moonlight fell on the sparkling pearly sea surface, seeming to reflect the bright stars.

In this pleasant warm and peaceful ocean, the crisp sound of metal collision and the girl's squealing sound can be heard from time to time.

"Ding!" "Ding!"

"Drink!"

On the tranquil sea, standing in front of a large red cherry blossom torii gate illuminated by the moonlight, there were two graceful figures, holding slender samurai swords, fighting back and forth.

The thin clouds briefly blocked the moonlight, casting a brief shadow over the two of them.

And every time the samurai swords in their hands collide, golden sparks will burst out that penetrate the dark night.

The surrounding seawater also spread out layers of ripples due to the violent air waves that spread out when the sharp blades in the hands of the two collided.

But when the ripples of the waves hit the back of the torii, they all bounced back.

It was like a transparent invisible barrier that separated the sea water into two parts.

"Ding!" "Ding!" "Ding!"

A series of fireworks like fireworks, accompanied by the high-speed attacks of the two people that almost turned into afterimages, were reflected on the sea. In just a few breaths, they had fought dozens of times.

However, the two were equally skilled in swordsmanship, but they couldn't decide the winner for a while.

If it were an ordinary human being, let alone being unable to stand on the sea, not even a master of swordsmanship in Liaozhou would be able to carry out such a high-intensity and blind-angle fierce attack.

However, the metal ship uniforms beside them showed that their identities were not ordinary humans, but ship girls.

"Ding!!!"

After the two figures once again launched a fierce charge at each other and collided with each other, the two used their strength to distance themselves.

The silver moonlight penetrated the clouds and fell on the sea again, and also fell on them again.

One of them had a neat ponytail tied with a white bow, and was wearing a white military skirt. The bangs in front of her forehead were like dog ears, a tall ship girl with black stockings, and she slowly inserted the sharp blade in her hand into the scabbard.

Immediately, a calm and steady voice sounded from her mouth:

"Ibuki-dono, please be careful with the next blow from the humble one (I)."

The Takao-class heavy cruiser Kaohsiung belongs to Chongsakura.

Her yellow eyes stared intently at the opponent in front of her, and she bent down slightly while holding the handle of the knife tightly with her right hand, making an Iai gesture.

Just as she was about to draw the sword, her aura was rising steadily, and her whole body seemed to be transformed into a sharp blade that was about to be unsheathed and cut off the filth in the world.

After being reminded by Kaohsiung, on the sea in front of her, a girl with long, smooth dark blue hair and an elegant off-shoulder white short skirt with long sleeves lit up the blue flame in her hand.

On the cute and delicate face of this dark blue long-haired girl with curved horns on both sides of her head, the red and blue pupils like gems also overflowed with electromagnetic energy flames.

"The children of the transportation fleet who are purchasing new year's goods will be back soon. It is indeed time to bring this competition to an end."

"Ibuki, please ask Senior Kaohsiung for advice."

Chongsakura Phase 1 scientific research ship, Ibuki-class heavy cruiser Ibuki.

As a sword-wielding miko, she is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but is also good at controlling the power of elements using the secret technique of Sakura.

But even so, Ibuki did not dare to slack off at all after hearing the reminder from this Kaohsiung senior.

As she finished speaking, layers of invisible red and blue flames began to rise around her body and ship suit, proving that she also intended to decide the outcome with one strike.

Just now her waka swordsmanship was on par with Kaohsiung's, but this time she would not hold back and go all out.

Just when the two Sakura heavy cruiser girls were fighting for the final blow, each other's momentum reached its peak...

"Hey~ This is the transport ship Kashino, can you hear me?"

A gentle voice suddenly sounded in the fleet channels of Takao and Ibuki.

This also caused the fighting spirit in them to dissipate instantly, and Ibuki quickly put the tachi in his hand into the scabbard.

"As you can hear, here are Takao and Ibuki, who are responsible for guarding the entrance to the sanctuary tonight. Thank you for your hard work, Kashino."

After Kaohsiung straightened up, she spoke calmly over the communication channel, as if the sparring session just now had not caused any drain on her physical energy.

"Hey, let me tell you, even if it is New Year's Eve today, Master Shenzi will arrange guards at the entrance of the barrier~ You two can open the entrance of the barrier, we will be there soon."

After receiving Kaohsiung's response, Kashino's voice on the communication channel sounded like he was relieved.

After sheathing her sword, Ibuki slowly came to Takao. She said with some disappointment:

"I didn't expect that the transport fleet would work so hard. I remember that they seemed to have set off to the island to purchase supplies the day before yesterday, but they didn't return until this time."

Hearing this, Kaohsiung sighed softly.

The black-haired heavy cruiser girl looked at the endless empty sea under the moonlight. She, who was always focused, felt a little melancholy in her heart and fell into a state of distraction.

Ibuki was right, today is New Year's Eve when Shige Sakura welcomes the new year.

But now, she doesn't have any excitement in her heart like she used to enjoy the New Year's Festival in Minato.

Kaohsiung understood that it was probably not just her, but also most of her companions on the island.

The main reason is that the commander they are most eager to see is still missing.

In addition, the physical condition of Amagi-sama is getting worse and worse, and it is so serious that he was sent to the island's heavy cherry tree barrier by the son of God, and was taken care of by the great sage Yunxian and senior Mikasa.

However, a few days ago, Akagi and Musashi-sama, without telling the son of God, took the main force of the Air Mobile Team to the White Eagle camp to find the commander.

It is said that the commander has met with Akagi and Musashi and is on the way back to Snow Sakura Island.

Thinking of this, Kaohsiung's originally melancholy heart finally felt a little comforted.

But this good news is only a weak comfort to her. The time for the commander and Akagi-sama to return is still far away.

Before she left the dormitory this morning to come here, she heard her fourth sister Toriumi, who had returned from taking care of Shinano-sama, say that the commander and his team still need at least ten days to reach Snow Sakura Island.

After all, the United States of Oran, where the White Eagle camp is located, is separated from their current Liaozhou Nine Islands by a whole ocean, and there is also a fortress defense line blocked by Siren heavy troops.

Even if they flew, the commander and his men couldn't fly to them in such a short time.

This also made all the Sakura warship girls on Snow Sakura Island lack interest during the New Year period, which should have made everyone happy.

Especially her second sister Atago, who was obsessed with the commander, had been in a state of depression since the commander disappeared from the port area.

And Atago happened to be on guard duty before Akagi and his men set off, missing the opportunity to set off with them.

So that these days, her second sister, who always loved to joke, had a gentle personality and was a little unkempt, would fall into a trance from time to time, which made her very worried.

"Senior Kaohsiung, the transport fleet is coming."

Just when Kaohsiung was distracted for a short time in front of the torii at the entrance of the barrier, Ibuki's voice interrupted her distraction.

Only then did she notice that there were dots of white lights on the sea shrouded in the night ahead.

"Well, prepare to open the entrance. We will continue the sparring that we didn't finish just now after sending them into the barrier."

Kaohsiung turned around and said to the light-hearted dark blue long-haired swordswoman, feeling a little annoyed that he could be distracted.

And Ibuki also smiled slightly apologetically in response.

Kaohsiung saw from this smile that the other party was probably distracted just like her.

So the two heavy cruiser girls didn't say much, and tacitly came to the two sides of the red cylinder of the huge torii.

They took out the "key" in their respective ship storage spaces, which was a black metal magatama, and pressed it on the corresponding socket on the torii cylinder.
