Chapter 228: A Furore's Friends

Everyone played for a long time, and only when it was almost dark did they return to Lao Wan's home; at this time, Lao Wan and Wan Da Niang had already prepared a sumptuous feast to entertain everyone.

After happily finishing their meal, everyone left Old Street under the reluctant gazes of Lao Wan and Wan Da Niang.

In the following day or two, everyone was in a state of rest, and Qin Ge also took this opportunity to chat more and keep company with the few newly summoned people.

Finally, everyone had reached the time to set out. Because they had been notified the previous day, Qin Ge and his shipgirls had already packed everything they needed for the journey that very night.

Early the next morning, they arrived at Mikasa's gate and met up with her and A Furore.

"Hehe, you came really early; it looks like you're well prepared." Mikasa said, smiling at everyone's luggage.

"This is also unavoidable; no one knows how long we'll stay in Sakura Empire this time, so preparing a bit more is always good, just in case." Qin Ge said to Mikasa.

"Don't worry, we'll be back around the time school starts again. Although it's the Nine Major Factions competition, the actual match lasts only three or four days; most of the time is spent on the road." Mikasa said to Qin Ge.

"Then how are we going this time?" Qin Ge asked Mikasa, "By passenger ship?"

Mikasa shook her head, "Definitely not a passenger ship, after all we represent Donghuang; if we went to war on a passenger ship, we'd be laughed at."

"Well, indeed." Qin Ge nodded embarrassedly, "Because I heard from Mikasa senior that you always took passenger ships back and forth, I assumed this time would be the same, so I asked instinctively."

Mikasa laughed, "This time the Dean assigned our school's largest command ship to us, so all travel expenses are covered by public funds, and we've also been assigned an urgent mission to escort a VIP."

"In other words, someone will escort us to Sakura Empire?" Qin Ge said, realizing.

"Of course, this journey is quite distant; we're likely to encounter Siren Fleet attacks along the way, so fleet escort is essential.

"So we have three fully trained shipgirls, but we must keep our spirits up and not waste our mental energy on battles during the journey." Mikasa said.

"Then who is taking on this mission this time?" Qin Ge asked.

Mikasa smiled and looked at Guanghui, "Guanghui definitely knows about this, because the VIP escort mission was posted on the Front Line and is limited to Free Shipgirls to accept."

"Oh? It's actually taken by Free Shipgirls from the Front Line." Guanghui chuckled, "Maybe we'll actually run into a few acquaintances; I don't know where they are now."

Mikasa said, "They're currently waiting for us at the dock in Shenhua City, so that's also our first stop; after we meet up with them, we'll head straight for Sakura Empire."

"I see." Qin Ge nodded.

While several people were chatting, a figure walked over. Upon seeing Qin Ge and the others, she began to wave, saying, "Good morning, you really came early; fortunately I prepared last night, otherwise making you wait would be too embarrassing."

Qin Ge looked at the approaching figure and said to her, "Good morning, A Furore senior; sorry to trouble you this time."

"What's the need for formalities? I am originally the instructor of the Donghuang Commander Academy; academy matters naturally come first.

Moreover, this time the person I'm going to find in the Northern Union also went to Sakura Empire, so it's also on the way, not a trouble." A Furore waved her hand and said. Valley

"By the way, I've never asked A Furore instructor, who do you look for each year when you go to the Northern Union?" Qin Ge asked A Furore.

"Gangut, and also Mercury Memorial." A Furore said.

Upon hearing these two names, Qin Ge couldn't help but feel solemn respect. Because these two ships also have other aliases: Gangut's alias is October Revolution, and Mercury Memorial's alias is Communist International.

If the greatest ship in Soviet history is A Furore, it's because she fired the shot that changed the era. Then Mercury Memorial is the oldest battleship to have seen actual combat, and is the common senior of all Northern Union Navy cruisers.

As for Gangut, she is a contemporary of the Royal legendary dreadnought. And after the October Revolution broke out, four Gangut-class ships resolutely joined the revolution.

Afterwards, to commemorate this great revolution, Gangut was renamed October Revolution, meaning to offer blessings to the revolution. Furthermore, because Gangut had served in the defense of Leningrad and earned distinguished merits in the Baltic Sea, she received commendation from the Supreme Command and was ultimately awarded the Red Banner Medal.

As the saying goes, the friends of big shots are big shots; as a meritorious ship of the Northern Union, A Furore's friends are indeed all old revolutionaries.

Seeing Qin Ge's reverent expression, A Furore asked doubtfully, "What's up, do you know them?"

Qin Ge quickly shook his head; the fact that he comes from another world is known only to his own shipgirls, as well as the Prince of Wales and Yixian; others still don't know his identity.

"Because I've gotten along with A Furore senior for so long, I suppose the two you mentioned must also be like you, brave revolutionaries fighting for the revolution." Qin Ge explained to A Furore.

A Furore smiled slightly, "That's right; they are all revolutionaries, fearless and brave. If there's time later, I can introduce them to you so you can get to know them; I'm sure they'll also enjoy chatting with you."

"That sounds great." Qin Ge said somewhat excitedly.

Meanwhile, Mikasa lightly chuckled and said to the two, "Alright, now isn't the time to talk about this; we should set off, we can't keep people waiting."

"No problem." Qin Ge nodded.

Thus, everyone walked toward the school's harbor dock.

After arriving at the dock, everyone didn't linger but went straight to the innermost dock, Pier Number Five.

Because there is a very huge command ship there, and the entire academy only has that one huge command ship, which can accommodate around eighty people.

In fact, Qin Ge had already seen that command ship while performing missions before, but he had never come up close to inspect it. Now, upon approaching it, he found that this command ship is in no way inferior to the large yachts from his previous world.

Perhaps because it's going to be used today, the gangway that is usually retracted has been lowered, and the hull of the command ship has also been cleaned.

"Everyone go up and pick your own rooms; we're about to prepare for departure." Mikasa said to everyone.

"Yes!" everyone exclaimed excitedly.

"Then, board the ship!"
