Chapter 156: Free Shipgirl Saint Juan

Registration done. After Zhang Fengying finished registering, she handed the certificate issued by the Maritime Affairs Bureau to Qin Ge.

After Qin Ge received the certificate, he said to Zhang Fengying, "You don't need to keep this certificate?"

No need, this certificate proves your identity; once confirmed, it's no longer needed, and you can keep it to reuse in future tasks requiring strength. Zhang Fengying said to Qin Ge.

Then thank you very much. After Qin Ge said that, he put the certificate away and placed it in his upper clothing pocket.

Alright, you can now go over there to do the mission; there are guide signs outside, if unclear you can ask specifically, our personnel guarding the front line. Zhang Fengying said.

Hmm, thanks. Qin Ge nodded, then turned and walked outside. As soon as everyone left the temporary stationed gathering place's gate, they saw the signpost Zhang Fengying mentioned.

Following the route indicated by the signpost toward the seaside, they soon arrived at the edge of the dock. Here, several shipgirls were fighting not far out on the sea surface; their cooperation was quite tight and harmonious, obviously they had been working together for a long time.

Also on the dock where Qin Ge stood was a shipgirl; when she saw Qin Ge coming, she waved and said to him, "Are you the commander who took the support mission?"

Qin Ge nodded, "Yes, I'm Qin Ge, and I took the emergency support mission from the Maritime Affairs Bureau."

Hello, Commander Qin Ge, I am Saint Juan, the fourth ship of the Atlanta-class light cruiser. Saint Juan said to Qin Ge.

Are you the shipgirls guarding this island? Qin Ge asked the several people.

No, we are Free Shipgirls, teaming up to do missions together. Saint Juan said to Qin Ge.

To be honest, aside from Guanghui, this is my first encounter with Free Shipgirls. Qin Ge said with a smile.

Guanghui? Saint Juan looked behind Qin Ge and saw a shipgirl in a white dress with a wide-brimmed hat looking at her. Saint Juan nodded at Guanghui, "Hello."

Guanghui smiled and said, "Back then I was also doing missions here with you all, but after not staying long I went to the front line, and only recently did I officially join the commander's fleet, which could be considered finding my home. What are your plans? Keep being Free Shipgirls, or do you want to find a commander?"

Saint Juan said, "We've already grown used to living alone, so for now we don't want to look for a commander. We just want to do missions like this, then see the human world, and whenever we have that idea, we'll talk about it later."

Qin Ge nodded, "So you're already at the time, and need to hand over the shift, right?"

Saint Juan nodded, turned his head to look at the sea surface. There, several shipgirls had just sunk a Siren mass-produced battleship and were cleaning up the battlefield.

When you just arrived, I already notified them; after they finish cleaning the battlefield, they'll come over soon. Saint Juan said to Qin Ge.

Hmm, we'll also get ready here; after you finish, we'll fill in. Qin Ge smiled.

That works too. Saint Juan nodded and said.

Then Qin Ge turned his head and said to the several shipgirls, "Then everyone prepare and get into formation; Banrenma launches aerial reconnaissance."

Yes, Commander. Everyone nodded and stepped onto the sea surface, leaving only Guanghui and Qin Ge still on the dock.

As soon as they stepped onto the sea surface, Banrenma familiarly displayed its ship equipment, stood in the air and shot an arrow; four aircraft appeared before everyone, then each flew off in a different direction.

Meanwhile, Nengdai, Ling Bo, Belfast, and Ou Gen Qin Wang led the way, gliding toward the distant sea area. Closely following the four were Hai Lun Na, then three battleships: Weineituo, Luodenni, and Biyu, and finally Banrenma brought up the rear.

Watching the crowd head off into the distance, Saint Juan looked somewhat surprised at Qin Ge and Guanghui beside him, "Why isn't Guanghui going on the mission?"

Qin Ge chuckled, "Because he is already a max-level trained shipgirl, so for this trial opportunity, it's better to give it to others."

Max-level training!? That's amazing! Saint Juan exclaimed in surprise, after all she had only heard of such shipgirls, never seen one, and didn't expect to encounter one while doing a mission today.

If you keep working hard, you'll eventually become a max-level trained shipgirl too. Guanghui said to Saint Juan.

Hopefully, but before that I still need to keep surviving, after all only by staying alive can one reach that level. Saint Juan laughed carefree.

Qin Ge's eyes darkened involuntarily; war is just this cruel, everyone's pursuit is merely to survive. Because only by surviving can one speak of hope; only by surviving can one speak of the future. If sunk in the sea, that represents death, and then there is nothing.

Hmm, keep at it. Guanghui nodded and said, after all this problem she also had no way. If the opponent were an aircraft carrier or battleship, she could still tell them how to survive and share her experience, but unfortunately the opponent is a light cruiser.

Light cruisers and destroyers are the two most common types of shipgirls in this world, but they are also very rare among max-level trained shipgirls. The reason is simple: because they must directly face Siren enemy ships, so even a slight oversight could lead to an irreversible situation.

While they were speaking, on the sea surface Saint Juan's companions also finished cleaning up the aftermath of the recent battle and swiftly glided toward the dock.

Qin Ge looked in that direction and saw exactly four people. Saint Juan also noticed their arrival and thus said to Qin Ge and Guanghui, "They're back."

Soon, the four jumped onto the dock and said to Saint Juan, "Saint Juan, we just picked up a blue tech crate; this time we can probably earn quite a bit."

Hmm. Saint Juan also smiled and nodded, then turned sideways to present Qin Ge, "Let me introduce you: this is the commander who will replace us, named Qin Ge, and the shipgirl beside him is Guanghui."

Guanghui was like us before, also a Free Shipgirl, and she is now max-level trained.

(⊙o⊙) Wow! That's amazing! said a red-haired shipgirl, "I am Phoenix, a Brooklyn-class light cruiser, nice to meet you."

I am Halsey Powell, a Fletcher-class destroyer. said a white-haired shipgirl.

Hello, I am California, the second ship of the Tennessee-class battleship. said a golden-haired shipgirl wearing a military cap, smiling.

I am Sims, the lead ship of the Sims-class destroyer. said a white-haired girl with beast ears to Qin Ge and Guanghui.

Qin Ge and Guanghui exchanged glances, smiled, and nodded to everyone, "Hello!"
