Chapter 671: Hai Lun Na's Arrival

The sea here is very strange; while moving, it feels like the body alternates between heavy and light, so everyone should be careful. After entering the sea, Xin ze xi indeed felt the pressure on her body.

Even the John Meow lying on his shoulder was affected, appearing to have lost some strength.

"Understood." Everyone replied in unison.

Following closely behind the fleet personnel, Qin Ge also entered the sea. A force surged, making him involuntarily grip the control console in front of him.

"I feel my body becoming heavy, my breathing a bit short—is this the situation caused by increased gravity?" Feeling the changes in his body, Qin Ge muttered to himself.

But not long after he finished speaking, he again felt his whole body become light, as if a light jump could make him jump very high.

"Gravity is disrupted; indeed this sea area is just as Xin ze xi reported earlier. If we fire under such gravity conditions, the aim…"

"Tsk, these Siren technologies really give a headache. However, if we could obtain such technology, it would also be a certain improvement for later training."

Thinking of this, Qin Ge unconsciously shook his head, sweeping these miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind.

"Now is indeed not the time to think about these things; the battle before us is what we should focus on."

While Qin Ge was struggling to adapt to the gravity of this sea area, the shipgirls had mostly adapted, and the launched carrier aircraft had already spotted the few members of Enterprise retreating.

"Report, we have detected the squad where Enterprise is located; behind them follows an unidentified Siren humanoid unit, probability of being an Arbiter." Banrenma reported to Xin ze xi, but the communicator was filled with noisy static.

It seems that even at relatively close range, using the communicator still suffers interference.

"Received, are the two sides engaged in combat?" Xin ze xi quickly replied.

"No, the current situation is that the squad with Enterprise is retreating, while the Arbiter is chasing from behind, but no exchange of fire has occurred." Banrenma said.

"Chasing but not firing?" Xin ze xi frowned.

Because we are now in wartime, the activated channels are all fleet frequencies, meaning not only Xin ze xi but others also received this report.

In the distance, Zhenhai narrowed his eyes, involuntarily feeling a sense of contemplation.

Even though Enterprise's personnel are all awakened shipgirls, everyone knows the Arbiter's suppression of them. However, now at such close range it is merely following without firing, which reminded her of an animal—a cat.

A cat has a very interesting behavior: when catching a mouse, it always first toys with the mouse until it is desperate before killing it.

Now, to that Arbiter, they are nothing more than a mouse in its palm—it can decide whenever to deal with them. And the Arbiter's current behavior clearly intends to toy with them, making them feel ultimate despair.

However, Zhenhai looked up toward the distance, saying, "Even a mouse in the palm, when backed into a corner, will leap up and bite you—Arbiter."

As Zhenhai was contemplating, Xin ze xi's voice came through the communicator: "All personnel enter battle readiness; we are getting closer to the Enterprise squad's position, always ready to respond to combat."

"Understood."

As the voices of everyone sounded in the communicator, Qin Ge on the command ship clearly felt a bleak aura.

Gazing ahead, he let out a sigh; suddenly a sense of defeat welled up from his heart—he felt his ability to support in this battle was truly too limited.

At that moment, a voice sounded from behind him: "Heh, what a magnificent sight; I wonder why Commander Qin Ge is sighing."

Qin Ge's hairs stood up instantly; he hurriedly turned his head, only to see a familiar figure appear before him.

"It's you, Hai Lun Na!"

Before him lay deep-blue hair, a face always smiling—who else could it be but the Hai Lun Na Qin Ge met on the Donghuang front line?

"It seems Commander Qin Ge, you're surprised to see me?" Hai Lun Na said with a smile, "But this time you should believe me, right?"

Qin Ge nodded, knowing what Hai Lun Na meant, and said, "Yes, there indeed is an Arbiter here; can you help us? They should also be your enemies, right?"

"Enemies?" Hai Lun Na shook her head, "They aren't quite our enemies; they're just a bunch of nuisances."

"If so, then why did you give me that badge back then?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully.

"Although to us they are merely a bunch of nuisances, some of us still cannot stand seeing such things appear before us." Hai Lun Na smiled.

"Like the shipgirl Gneisenau we encountered before?" Qin Ge asked.

"Heh, although Gneisenau belongs to us, I'm not close with her. However, it's undeniable that her combat power is indeed strong, but dealing with this Sterleticus ahead is still somewhat difficult." Hai Lun Na smiled.

"Also, let me remind you: shipgirls are merely what you call them in your world; in the Main World, we are called warships."

"Warship..." Qin Ge froze; this was already the second time he had heard that term from Hai Lun Na's mouth.

"What's the difference between warships and shipgirls?" Qin Ge asked Hai Lun Na.

"Of course there is a difference." Hai Lun Na said without hesitation, "Commander Qin Ge, weren't you searching for some strange files in the sea earlier?"

"Yes." Qin Ge nodded, "What relation do those files have with warships and shipgirls?"

"I can tell you, your guess is correct; those files were deliberately placed there by Antikesis. But those records are genuine, pertaining to the original world's record of our warships' birth.

Although I am not from that world, that world is related to all worlds that possess warships.

Just like a towering tree, our world is a branch or leaf on that great tree, while that world is the trunk and root of the tree." Hai Lun Na smiled.

Qin Ge frowned, "Since you know that in detail, why not directly tell me the history of that world?"

"Heh, Commander Qin Ge, do you still remember what I told you earlier? Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

When you know too much but lack the corresponding power to cope, you feel helpless, you feel your insignificance. I have had enough of that feeling, so I don't want you to experience it again.

Although we are not on good terms with Antikesis, what they are doing now—letting you gradually learn about that world—seems reasonable to me. This is also why I have not interfered with your search for the files." Hai Lun Na looked at Qin Ge and smiled…
