Chapter 217: A Bewildering Future

Qin Ge listened to the Prince of Wales and Yixian's words, suddenly feeling the weight on his shoulders heavy as lead; just as he was about to speak some words of promise, the person beside him spoke.

"I seem to have understood something now." Tiancheng smiled and said to Yixian and the Prince of Wales, "Striving for ideals is good, but corresponding support must also be in place; only then can we fight without burden."

Qin Ge, who was about to speak, froze, then gave an embarrassed laugh, "Tiancheng just appeared, so I'm not fully aware of the situation; please forgive us, both of you."

"Not needed." Yixian smiled and said, "What Miss Tiancheng said is also true; the government isn't lacking soldiers, and we Donghuang will certainly not shortchange Commander Qin Ge."

If you need anything in the future, just contact the Commander Academy anytime; you are currently an instructor at the Commander Academy, and even if you leave the Commander Academy, you will remain an honorary instructor of the Commander Academy.

"So, if you have any problems needing help, just tell the Prince of Wales."

"Since you both treat the lord so kindly, Tiancheng apologizes for my earlier doubts." Tiancheng smiled and lightly nodded to the Prince of Wales and Yixian.

The Prince of Wales and Yixian also lightly nodded, then watched as Qin Ge brought Tiancheng over to the nearby crowd.

"Quite a formidable person." Yixian smiled.

"The Sakura Empire has suffered a great loss." The Prince of Wales blinked and said.

"However, given the nature of those few from the Sakura Empire, they definitely wouldn't let such a person slip away, and moreover, this Tiancheng is actually the sister of that prominent figure from the Sakura Empire." Yixian narrowed his eyes and said.

"This time I will go myself; if the Sakura Empire dares to use tactics, it will become the public enemy of the other major factions." The Prince of Wales nodded and said.

"It's hard to say about Iron Blood and the Sardinian Empire, after all, their flagship is also here." Yixian said.

"I don't think so." The Prince of Wales said, "They just need one unique ship in their own faction; are they planning to bring Weineituo and Bisimai back to seize power?"

"That's true." Yixian smiled, "Then it's the Sakura Empire; when the time comes, tell Mikasa to also look after her a bit more—you should know her identity is not just that of an instructor at the Donghuang Commander Academy."

"Hehe." The Prince of Wales laughed and nodded, "I feel this vacation has suddenly become interesting."

"Yeah, since Qin Ge appeared, the future of this world has become less clear." Yixian nodded, "But uncertainty means the old pattern will be broken, and a new pattern is about to emerge."

"We should be fortunate that he has appeared in Donghuang!"

"And he has come to the Commander Academy." The Prince of Wales laughed.

While the Prince of Wales and Yixian were discussing the impending future, Qin Ge also brought Tiancheng to his own shipgirl's side.

"Let me introduce everyone; this is Tiancheng, and from now on she will be a companion of our fleet." Qin Ge said to the crowd.

The crowd looked at the smiling Tiancheng; although a few people showed solemn expressions, the others happily welcomed her, especially the Sakura Empire's Biyu, Nengdai, and Ling Bo.

"Not simple." Ou Gen Qin Wang watched Tiancheng smiling and speaking with the crowd, then said to Bisimai standing beside her.

"As long as she is a companion, that's fine." Bisimai said indifferently.

"Indeed, it's just inertia of thought." Ou Gen Qin Wang smiled, but her expression wasn't as happy as it seemed. Accustomed to reading people's minds, Ou Gen Qin Wang knew that the Tiancheng before her was certainly not a simple person; looks like there will be fun ahead.

After introducing Tiancheng to the crowd, watching as they began to chat casually, Qin Ge left the gathering, because he was preparing to summon once more.

This time he intended to summon a light construction device; the previous few rounds of summoning had left him somewhat speechless, hopefully this time the light construction device won't bring anything strange.

He then placed one Wisdom Cube and 600 units of supplies into the light construction device, and immediately pressed the activation button. The construction device let out a sudden boom, and that sound made Qin Ge stare intently at the screen above it.

Waiting for the construction device's sound to end, a time number also appeared on that screen.

1:6:00!

Seeing this number, Qin Ge froze for a moment, because such a time point does not exist in the time he knows.

Qin Ge turned his head toward Yixian and the Prince of Wales; both gave a helpless smile, "Looks like you really like to give us surprises; according to this time point, as far as I know, there are three shipgirls now."

"The Northern Union's Chapaev, Freedom Iris's Saint Joan of Arc, and the Sardinian Empire's Duke Abruzzi."

"Each of them is a high-ranking member within their respective faction, and even if we added up their numbers across the whole world, it would not exceed ten."

"I see." Qin Ge nodded, after confirming the scope of shipgirls, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he picked up the Rapid Construction Tool placed nearby, inserted it into the construction device's slot, and pressed the start button on the side.

As the construction device rumbled, the time on the screen instantly reset to zero, and the hatch opened accordingly.

Thick smoke seeped out from the gaps of the hatch, and a golden light also leaked out along with the smoke through those gaps.

As the smoke cleared, a figure appeared before Qin Ge. Golden hair was tied up high, wearing white armor clothing; beneath the armor was a pure white skirt, the edges of the attire trimmed with gold, making the person look solemn and dignified.

Seeing such unusual ship equipment, Qin Ge couldn't help but be surprised, because since summoning so many sword-armor types, other shipgirls' attire has either been naval uniforms or like Tiancheng's faction attire; this medieval knight-like outfit is the first time he's seen.

And just as Qin Ge saw the shipgirl, the shipgirl also opened her eyes. Her blue pupils filled with seriousness and sternness, she said to Qin Ge, "If you are familiar with my name, you should understand the mission I bear; Freedom Iris Saint Joan of Arc, from now on I join your command."

Indeed, just as Yixian had said earlier, the shipgirl standing before Qin Ge is exactly Freedom Iris's Saint Joan of Arc.

Regarding Saint Joan of Arc, Qin Ge naturally also knows quite a bit about her; she is a training vessel of Free France, and her whole life has been devoted to making due contributions to the liberation of her homeland, just as her ship's name Saint Joan of Arc suggests.

"My name is Qin Ge; from now on I am your commander. I hope that in life and battle we can mutually advise each other and jointly defend the peace of the seas." Qin Ge extended his right hand toward Saint Joan of Arc and said… (To be continued)
