Chapter 451: Meeting Begins

After sailing for more than a day, Qin Ge brought his Fleet back to the station.

Because a fleet was detected approaching, Hu Feng and Li Chenming came to the dock early to wait.

"Huh? Commander Qin Ge, you said you were going for One Month, so why are you back after just over ten days? Did something happen?" Hu Feng asked.

Qin Ge looked at the two and nodded, saying, "This time I went out and encountered a Mirror Sea, and after detecting some information, I had no choice but to turn back midway."

"Mirror Sea!" Hu Feng exclaimed in surprise, "How can a Mirror Sea appear in a Level 4 Sea? Those things only appear in Level 5 or Level 6 Seas, right?"

Qin Ge shook his head; he certainly would not tell Hu Feng and the others that the Sirens were targeting him. Since Li Chenming was still here, if he told them the Sirens were targeting him at this moment, it would surely make the Grand Fleet's personnel nervous, and anything could happen later.

Thus he spoke rather vaguely, saying, "I'm not sure; perhaps it was a special event, which is why I came back to report it specifically. By the way, how is the situation near the Gangqu? Has anything abnormal occurred?"

Li Chenming shook his head, saying, "The situation here in Gangqu is very normal; nothing special has appeared. Now everyone has adapted to the rhythm here, so everything is progressing smoothly."

Qin Ge smiled and nodded, saying, "All right, just go about your business. Next I will return to make preparations, then report to the Nine Major Factions."

"Okay, don't overexert yourself." Li Chenming said.

"Hmm." Qin Ge nodded.

Watching Hu Feng and Li Chenming leave the dock, Weineituo from the side stepped forward and asked, "Why didn't the commander just tell them directly?"

Qin Ge shook his head, saying, "If they knew the Sirens were deliberately targeting me, it would panic the entire Grand Fleet; for everyone's safety, we must absolutely not tell them."

"But they will eventually find out." Weineituo said.

"We can conceal it for a while; for now their strength is still very weak, so it's better not to directly involve them in these events." Qin Ge said.

The other shipgirls nodded involuntarily; indeed, with their fleet's current strength they are too weak to face the Sirens, let alone the other commanders.

"Let's go, we'll return to our lodgings first." Qin Ge smiled, then turned to Hao and Fanji beside him and said, "Please go back and notify the other factions' shipgirls; we'll hold a meeting together later."

"Got it." Hao nodded.

This matter must be reported to the Nine Major Factions, after all it is of great importance and the information volume is huge. But the news that the Sirens and shipgirls share the same origin is no less than a massive bomb.

Soon the two groups split up; Qin Ge brought his shipgirls back to the fleet dormitory, letting most of the shipgirls rest first, while he himself took Guanghui, Bisimai, Weineituo, Lisailiu, and Monarch together toward the area where the other eight major factions were located.

Of course, before leaving he also had someone call Hu Feng over, after all Hu Feng represents the Maritime Affairs Bureau here, which is the Donghuang faction.

"Is everyone here?" Qin Ge said, looking at everyone seated.

"Hmm." Hu Feng nodded.

Qin Ge nodded and said to everyone, "I know you all have direct communication facilities with your factions, so now open them all; this message is relatively serious and must be discussed directly with your superiors."

When Qin Ge said this, the people from the other factions were still doubtful, but as a member of the Royal faction, Hao directly opened his communicator.

Seeing Hao's action, Yue Ke Cheng asked doubtfully, "Commander Qin Ge, is this really necessary?"

Qin Ge nodded, saying, "It is necessary, and if possible, please directly notify the faction leaders."

"Alright."

The shipgirls from the other factions also now understood the seriousness of the matter, and they all opened their communication devices to call their own factions.

Soon, the silhouettes of each faction's high-ranking members appeared in the virtual space; they looked at the scene before them, somewhat dazed, unable to grasp what had happened, and they all inquired of their own faction's shipgirls.

When they learned that it was Qin Ge who had his faction's shipgirls contact him, all eyes gathered on Qin Ge.

"Nice to meet you, Commander Qin Ge; I've heard your name many times." The White Eagle faction's Enterprise smiled and said to Qin Ge.

"So, commoner, why did you contact Your Majesty?" Royal's Yi Lisha Bai said.

Although the others didn't speak, their gazes were still fixed on Qin Ge and the others.

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Ge slowly said, "This time I went out to sea and encountered a Mirror Sea, and it was in a Level 4 Sea. Furthermore, this first Mirror Sea was not in the form of a stronghold, but was aimed at me."

"Did I hear correctly? You mean the Sirens targeted you and dragged you into the Mirror Sea?" The Soviet Alliance glanced at Qin Ge and said.

Qin Ge nodded, saying, "Hao from the Royal side can attest; we indeed fought side by side in the Mirror Sea."

"Hao?" Yi Lisha Bai looked at Hao in surprise.

Hao nodded, saying, "Yes, the Mirror Sea we encountered this time is completely different from the Mirror Sea I encountered before. This Mirror Sea contained three high-ranking Siren humanoids: they are the Tester, the Purifier, and the Observer respectively."

"What!"

At this moment, everyone exclaimed in shock. Normally, if a single high-ranking Siren humanoid appeared, it would already be a major event for the entire faction, just like when the Sakura Empire previously revealed a Purifier.

But this time three high-ranking Siren humanoids appeared directly, so it is absolutely necessary to hold this meeting.

"Wait, since three high-ranking Siren humanoids have appeared, that is a force that even a faction's Awakening power cannot resist; how did you survive?" Bisimai asked.

Qin Ge gave a slight smile, saying, "So this is the main point I will tell you about next."

For a long time I have been puzzled: why do the Sirens possess such great power yet not directly annihilate all humanity and shipgirls? This time I learned the answer from their mouths.

"What?" The eyes of all the leaders lit up; to say they don't want to know the answer to this question would be a lie.

Qin Ge looked at the phantom before him and spoke in a very solemn tone, "Because the Sirens and shipgirls share the same origin, and the Sirens exist as another form of shipgirls; both were created by the Creator. Moreover, the Sirens appear in this world to use it as an experimental field, their purpose being to collect experimental data."

"And the so-called experimental data is precisely the data generated from each and every battle with the shipgirls…"
