Before dawn, he had received a telegram from headquarters stating that the Third Aviation Mixed Fleet was no longer in the Xu Sea but had already entered the East Ocean, and just south of Nagiu Port, more than three hundred kilometers from the Watcher Strait as of yesterday evening.

The telegram also mentioned that last night, after a submarine heading to the Tuk Naval Base spotted the Third Aviation Mixed Fleet, headquarters immediately adjusted their plans, ordering the Sixth Cruiser Corps, which had been escorting a convoy, to rush southward, trying to intercept the Third Aviation Mixed Fleet before dawn.
The battle situation indeed was developing in that direction.
