Chapter 669: Activating the Badge

Attack!

Everyone, without a word, immediately began attacking the unknown Siren.

But something shocking happened: facing everyone's gunfire, that Siren stood still, unmoving.

"What's going on? An immobile, invulnerable Siren? Is it because the gravity in this sea area is causing command abnormalities?" Monarch said, looking at the Siren before him, somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, could this be the Sirens' newest target ship?" Mikasa wondered.

Enterprise then shook her head vigorously: "No, perhaps you didn't see clearly from your position; my carrier aircraft up above have a clear view.

Your shells just now actually didn't hit that Siren's armor at all!

"Huh? How could that be? Is it because of the gravity zone that I missed?" Monarch asked, lacking confidence.

"No, even in this abnormal gravity sea, your shooting was spot on. What happened is simply that your shells vanished before they hit her armor," Enterprise explained quickly.

"Um… I don't really get it," Mikasa said, puzzled.

"I don't really understand either, but this situation happened once before, when we were in the Siren outpost and encountered those two Executors."

At that time, New Jersey's shells didn't even touch that Siren before being destroyed. So this unknown Siren is probably… Enterprise said up to there, then stopped, her tone turning excited.

"Withdraw, pull out of this sea area!"

This time no one replied; instead, they swiftly and in unison shifted the rear wing to the front, everyone speeding up and withdrawing toward the outer edge of the sea area.

"Hmph…" Looking at Enterprise and the others trying to quickly pull away from him, the gray‑haired Siren let out a cold snort and began to follow their movement.

Her speed was neither fast nor slow; she simply tailed behind Enterprise and the others, ensuring they stayed within her sight.

"She's following us at a steady pace, basically matching our speed, and she shows no intention of attacking me." Mikasa looked at the Executor behind her and said, "So this is what you call an Executor?"

"Yes, this is very likely the Executor spoken of by the commander from the other Helena's intel—the one representing power, Siteliankusi!" Guanghui said solemnly.

"Another Helena? Representing power?" The Prince of Wales and the others were momentarily puzzled.

"This would take a while to explain, but basically you just need to remember that many shipgirls and Executor-type Sirens have come from other worlds into this world.

Now this world has become extremely dangerous; even Awakened Shipgirls are, relative to them, just like ordinary Shipgirls. Believe you've already felt this oppression from the Executors." Said King George V standing nearby.

"Hey Enterprise, speaking of this I just remembered—didn't the commander give you an emblem? I think it's time to use it." Guanghui said quickly.

Enterprise hesitated a moment, then took it out from her ship‑equipment space; everyone's gaze immediately focused on her hand.

All that could be seen was a completely black insignia, with one side etched with a pattern like burning flames; astonishingly, that insignia was now emitting a black‑gold light.

"Huh, why is it emitting light?" King George V, having seen this insignia before, now said somewhat strangely.

Enterprise also shook her head, saying, "I don't know; it was like this when I took it out. Could it be related to that Executor?"

Guanghui shook his head, saying, "We know very little about the two factions' information; we haven't even seen the Helena the commander spoke of. So anything unexplained that shows up now is possible.

"Indeed, if you hadn't brought it up, we probably wouldn't even know the term 'Executor agency'." The Prince of Wales said with a sigh.

"Then hurry up and activate it," Monarch said quickly. "Besides, it's even more of a hassle that she's been tailing us like this—do we have to lure her to the commander?"

Everyone fell silent in an instant. If we lure the Executor Siteliankusi to Qin Ge, we could get fleet support, but it would also add a lot of uncertainty.

But if we don't lure them over, as long as the Executor Siteliankusi fa, but with their strength of just a few people they basically can't resist for long, then it would mean their strength will be divided and consumed.

Such a dilemma wasn't just troubling Enterprise; it also troubled the others.

But at this moment, Guanghui smiled and said, "Heh, looks like Zhenhai was right after all—indeed, this situation has now arisen.

"Zhenhai?" asked King George V beside him, puzzled.

"Yes." Guanghui said, "Back when I was chatting with Zhenhai and the commander, Zhenhai had already run calculations on this; her insight into people's minds is truly formidable.

She said, if the fleet is in a dispersed state, and those not following the commander encounter danger, they will surely think to draw the danger elsewhere, so that the commander's fleet can detect the crisis and protect itself.

If the commander's fleet encounters danger, the other fleets will surely rush over regardless of the circumstances to mutually support.

"This is our duty as shipgirls: at the very least, before we go down, we must not let the commander come under threat," Enterprise replied.

"But Enterprise, do you know what the commander's answer was back then?" Guanghui said.

"What?" Enterprise asked strangely.

"He said, on the battlefield one must always stay rational, never let emotions dictate actions. If we really encounter such a situation, then quickly gathering to form a strong combat force is the optimal choice.

And when choosing to support, we must ensure our own fleet has no other concerns; only then can we proceed with support." Guanghui said.

"So you mean we should now lure the Executor to the fleet's position?" Enterprise said.

"Yes, this is the best we can do right now; if we keep hesitating, we'll end up being passive later." Guanghui said.

Having said that, Enterprise naturally understood. She gave Guanghui a deep look; a blue energy appeared in her hand, instantly activating that flame insignia.

All that could be seen was that the flame insignia transformed into black‑gold flames, beginning to blaze fiercely in Enterprise's hand. But holding that flame, Enterprise felt no heat at all; instead, she felt a bit cold.

However, the situation now isn't the time for her to be surprised; the insignia has been activated, the Executor has appeared, and the great battle is now on the verge of erupting.
