During the event last winter, the Siren relied on only a handful of executors to defeat the dozen or so port areas that participated in the battle, forcing them to retreat in panic.
After that defeat, not only were humans forced to pull back a large portion of their control over the sea area, but they also suffered a heavy blow to morale, and the navy was split into two factions.
The majority believes that with the current level of technology, the only ones who can save humanity from the water and fire are these sea elves built with the mind cube.
However, there are also a minority who hold the view that mass-producible soldiers such as KanColle have not been developed correctly, and if they are properly trained, they can play the same role as executors in the future.
Although there are constant frictions between the two factions, their ultimate goal is the same, so efforts have been made to educate the ship girls and popularize enemy intelligence.
The Military Police and most of the non-organized ship girls did not actually witness the battle of last year's winter event, but they more or less knew about it.
The scattered figures and overwhelming artillery fire brought them tremendous survival pressure, forcing this large group of ship girls to be beaten and unable to form an effective counterattack.
Fortunately, there were time intervals between the Executors' bombardments, and as if to prevent accidental injuries to the Observers and Purifiers in the central area, these mass-produced humanoid sirens deliberately avoided that position.
Less than ten minutes after the battle began, a sharp-eyed ship girl noticed this and hurriedly shouted to tell others.
So, tired of dodging, they entered the area around the observer. While avoiding the executor's fire, they surrounded three people including Su Xin.
At this time, the observer happened to finish eating the second bag of potato chips. She put the tentacles in the water to wash them again, then looked at the time, looking very satisfied.
"Eleven forty-eight, you're not that stupid."
One of the ship girls with a bad temper shouted at them on the spot: "What on earth do you want to do! Don't you feel ashamed to kidnap a powerless human?!"
The observer laughed after hearing this, and her soft body trembled slightly with the laughter, causing Su Xin, who was tied up and suspended in the air by the tentacles, to sway as well.
“Weak as a kite?” She glanced at the expressionless commander, “Well…that’s true.”
"But I just like picking on the weak. What can you do to me?"
The observer propped up his chin and looked at the ship girl who was choking, "Besides, in my eyes... you are actually no different from humans."
"I chose her... because she's cute, of course~" The observer moved Su Xin in front of him and stretched out his hand to pinch her elastic face. "Well, if she was a little fatter, it would feel even better."
The watching ship girls were furious when they saw this, but they could not attack because of the safety of the hostages.
The observer was very proud. She especially enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everything, especially the little tablet who told her to put on her pants properly. The sight of her being unable to resist was really pleasing.
Just as he was thinking about saying some more villain lines, the small tablet in front of him that he was entangled with suddenly tilted its head and bit the observer's index finger hard.
The Purifier barely managed to hold back his laughter. The Observer, for the sake of his image, naturally could not shout, so he could only try to keep smiling and warned in a low voice through gritted teeth:
"Let me go!"
Su Xin glared at her, bit her knuckles with her little canine teeth and rubbed them hard, then she relaxed and leaned back as if she had done nothing.
The observer took two deep breaths, turned around and soaked Su Xin in the water, and pinched the tooth mark inconspicuously amid the angry scolding of the ship girls.
"You are born in the year of the dog, right? You bite so hard..."
"It's eleven fifty-two, friends, it's almost time to start, don't delay my work."
The observer looked around and crossed his legs casually. "Please all of you come stand in front of me. I don't want to leave my back to you guys."
The ship girls were unwilling to do so. Although the Executor's bombardment had stopped, who knew what the other side was planning, so they were a little hesitant to fight.
The observer did not urge her, but just controlled the tentacles to sink Su Xin's mouth and nose into the water for a second, and then he heard the little commander's unstoppable coughing.
This was not part of the agreed plan, so the ship girls in the port area were naturally anxious and subconsciously pointed their guns at the observers, but the other party didn't care at all.
"Stand up quickly. It's not that hard to move your feet. Don't negotiations have to be conducted face to face?"
The ship girls had no choice but to do as she said and move to form a semicircle, still encircling the three people.
The observer didn't care, while the Purifier looked towards Tiancheng and took a step to the right without leaving a trace.
Amagi understood and quietly moved to the rightmost edge while everyone's position was not yet determined. The three members of the Sakura Empire, who had been instructed before coming, also moved over.
Aoba had a miniature camera on her chest, recording what was happening. While waiting for the negotiations to begin, she inadvertently noticed Amagi's sudden change of position.
The reporter's keen sense of smell prompted her to lift her legs and lean to the right, but she did not dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered and alerting the enemy.
The observer looked at the time and saw that it was only four minutes to twelve o'clock, so he opened another bag of candy. He did not eat it, but just looked around with his golden eyes open.
After just a few breaths, she seemed to have confirmed it, and threw the freshly opened candy and its packaging onto the sea surface about ten meters in front of her, letting the sweet candies sink to the bottom of the sea.
"Let's get started." The observer leaned on the barrel of the gun behind him, "Where's what I want?"
The military police captain paused for two breaths, and when no one answered, he spoke up: "I'm sorry, we couldn't bring it here. Can you give us a few days? Or change the terms."
The observer raised an eyebrow. "Change the conditions? Do you know what I want?"
The military police captain was not sure. Although she could not stand the other party's lax attitude, the difference in strength made her frown and shake her head.
Then she heard the observer explain in a soft voice with a grin: "It's the [Meta-Cube], a kind of monster that can make you forget your fear and turn you into a monster that only knows how to kill... Isn't it magical?"
The military police captain was not stupid. Although he was shocked, he did not believe it completely. "Don't you want to see this kind of situation? So that your plan to occupy the land will be effortless."
"Oh no, my friend." The observer looked at the time. "Don't you know why that guy took the initiative to give this thing to your superior?"
"Am I really your enemy? So far, which ship girl has died because of me? Didn't they all recover after a bubble pool?"
"I just want you to grow up quickly. If I don't use more radical methods, you will just stay where you are and be treated as tools forever..."
The observer smiled bewitchingly, "Now think about it, who is your enemy? Is it me? I am just protecting you, my shipgirl friends."
Indeed, although the conflict between the Sirens and humans has a long history, there have been almost no casualties. It is only humans themselves who have repeatedly lost territory, and the ship girls have not been greatly affected.
After the Sirens' massive invasion, the importance of the ship girls group in the eyes of humans has indeed increased a lot, and the situation of being used as tools has improved greatly.
To some extent, it is because of the Sirens that the ship girls have human rights (anti-sensitivity).
The observer looked at this group of young ship girls, curled his eyes cunningly, and was about to say something when he suddenly found a small hole in the air ahead.
"Look."
The observer couldn't control his happy expression and snapped his fingers.
"Your real enemy is here."
Chapter 487: Game 3
A hole suddenly opened up in the empty place, and there was pitch black darkness inside.
The hole was only the size of a grain of rice at first, but soon expanded to half a person's height as the shocked gazes of the ship girls.
A slender white hand reached out from inside, as if pressing against the edge of the hole, tearing it open again, and then a blue-haired girl poked half of her body out.
She seemed to have anticipated the situation around her. She slowly stepped out of the hole and stepped on an empty plastic bag of candy, making a slight "crunching" sound.
In an instant, the roar of artillery fire rang out from all directions at the same time, and bright orange high-explosive bombs rained down like raindrops, accurately shooting towards the location of the plastic bag.
Beneath the sea surface, tiny dots of light appeared, as if a large group of creatures were gathering on the bottom of the water, making the waves in this small area chaotic and disorderly.
The high-explosive bombs exploded at the designated locations in the blink of an eye, and countless torpedoes were launched from the bottom of the water, like an underwater storm composed of tiny schools of fish, covering the sky and the earth and making it impossible to avoid.
Even though the ship girls were far away, they were still pushed back a few steps by the huge chain explosions. Su Xin, who was closer to the center of the explosion, felt that her ears were almost broken.
The Observer didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. She knew that this level of attack would be of no use to Helena, so when the smoke covered the sky and the mist obscured the eyes, she raised the main gun together with the Purifier.
A huge amount of energy condensed at the muzzle of the gun. In just a few breaths, the highly compressed white light was on the verge of getting out of control.
Tiancheng couldn't see the situation in front of her at all, she only heard continuous explosions. She suddenly felt uneasy, as if she remembered something, and quickly pulled Akagi beside her.
Shokaku and Atago reacted very quickly. When Akagi tilted his body and fell behind Amagi, the two of them jumped to the side. Aoba saw that the situation was not good and immediately dived to the right.
At a certain moment, two extremely thin rays of light, as if to split the space into two, swept across in an instant, hidden in the smoke and mist.
[Helena] took the stand to resist the attack, but due to her obstructed line of sight and the close distance, by the time her radar scan took effect, it was too late to stop it.
Facing the attacks from the two main figures of the experimental agency, [Helena] can stack shields with all her strength and gather all the energy in front of herself. At most, she will suffer some damage from torpedoes and artillery fire, but will not be damaged.
She could also simply shrink back into the hole, avoid the attack, and then find an opportunity to come out.
The core purpose of both methods is to protect herself, but at the same time, the entire row of ship girls behind her will suffer from this indiscriminate sweep.
In a split second, Helena didn't even have the chance to hesitate. She only had time to utter a dirty word before she was swept by two lasers.
The transparent blue barrier in front of the ship girls collapsed in an instant, and the free energy turbulence stunned them, blowing them and their guns dozens of meters away.
The observer was very satisfied, and ordered the executors in the outer circle and the underwater lurkers (humanoid submarines) to withdraw one after another, holding their chins and waiting patiently for the smoke to dissipate.
Everything happened so fast that by the time Su Xin, who had been watching the whole process, reacted, there was no sound on the sea.
"...The 'enemy' you're talking about is [Helena]?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you?" The observer was in a very good mood. He gently put the little commander on the sea surface and then released his tentacles. "In fact, there is more than one. They are all annoying."
Su Xin felt inexplicably angry. This was the first time she saw two people she knew fighting in front of her, which made her very uncomfortable.
But after thinking about it carefully, the young commander found that he seemed to have no position or ability to interfere in the feud between [Siren] and [Ashes].
"But what about those ship girls? You were trying to kill them with your attack just now, right?!"
"What are you talking about?" The observer said unconcernedly, "I was aiming at her feet. Even if she didn't help create the energy shield, those ship girls would be badly damaged at best."
"So this incident was all just to hurt [Helena]?"
The observer smiled good-naturedly, "Of course it's not that simple, but you don't need to know the subsequent impact. This scene is over. You just wait for a while and then you can go back with your ship girl."
The observer waited for a while, then simply fired a shot into the air ahead. The violent airflow swept away the smoke and dust, and the vision suddenly became clear.
"Look, they're not all here - ah, there are more fish that slipped through the net than I expected."
Su Xin was stunned and looked in the direction the observer was looking. She found that in addition to the ship girls lying on the water a hundred meters away, there were still five ship girls who remained conscious.
"Well, I understand that you want to keep more people." The observer squinted his eyes and looked over, "But why is this little traitor still awake?"
Tiancheng's face didn't look very good either. Because she was worried about the little conductor, she was indeed careless and didn't notice when Qingye approached. As a result, the drama that was supposed to end was stuck at the end.
Now the fact that they have a close relationship with the Sirens has been known by Aoba. Even though Atago is currently suppressing them so that they cannot move, it is of no avail.
"Hehe... You are still young. I guess I will have to take care of it."
The observer looked at Qingye's red face on the right and thought for a moment, "Either I take her back and lock her up, and declare to the public that she is dead, or..."
"Just let her die."
Su Xin was shocked, "You promised not to hurt anyone else!"
"Oh, yes." The observer nodded, "But that was when everything went well. Now there is something wrong, right? We have to make up for it."
"Can--
"You have to understand that you are now standing on the sea in human form. Do you know the consequences if the news gets out? What? Are you planning to join us Siren?"
The young commander finally reacted and looked down at her boots that were wet by the waves. Even in the strong wind, she still stood straight on the waves.
The observer thought about it, and suddenly relaxed his expression. He smiled at Atago and said, "Okay, let her go. I'll erase her memory later."
Atago hesitated, raised her head and looked at Amagi, and seeing the other party nodded silently, she got up from Aoba's back and stared at Aoba who also stood up with a vigilant look.
Qingye's face turned pale when she heard that her memory was being erased. She wanted to run, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't escape, so she patiently stood there obediently.
Su Xin heaved a sigh of relief when she learned that her life would not be harmed. The observer shook his head and said, "Little Pingban, you have to know that naive people usually don't live long."
"You are able to live smoothly without worrying about anything because we are helping and intervening. If we really did things according to your ideas... you wouldn't even be able to celebrate your birthday last year."
Commander Su was about to rebut when she saw out of the corner of her eye that the observer's gun barrel suddenly raised. She instantly understood the other party's intention and immediately rushed towards the gun barrel.
"boom!"
"Susu!" & "Commander!"
The matte short blade drew an arc in the air, and then sank into the sea with a "plop".
Su Xin knelt on the sea, holding her bloody left arm, sweat dripping down her pale face.
The Purifier was startled and wanted to come over to see the injury, but the Observer shook him off with a tentacle, "Stand there!"
The Purifier, who was about to get angry, choked and stopped running forward.
The observer's expression was very ugly. She glanced at her exploded gun barrel, then lowered her eyes to look at Su Xin in front of her.
Then he raised his foot and stepped on the opponent's left shoulder. When the four Sakura Empire members rushed forward, the observer ignored Su Xin's cries of pain and leaned over to scold her while gritting his teeth.
"This is your choice? The world is beautiful? Huh?"
"I've seen a lot of people like you, with heads full of fantasies but no real skills at all."
"What happened in the end?" The observer pursed his lips, looking confused for a moment, and then smiled helplessly, "They are all dead."
"There is no world where no one is hurt. The reason there are no casualties now is because we are at the forefront and provide you with a comfortable environment."
"What happens next?"
