Chapter 677: Voluntary Withdrawal

Hmph, light thrust!

A flower card appeared out of thin air in Feilong's hand, and he threw it at Siteliankus with the force of thunder.

While Siteliankus dodged the flower card, his blue arm stretched backward.

The flower card that Feilong had just thrown instantly transformed into a light bullet, spreading outward.

Yet that light bullet was completely blocked by Siteliankus's blue arm, as if it were meant to be.

Just then, a blade light flashed; Feilong's knife swiftly slashed at Siteliankus's body, and just as it seemed about to land, Siteliankus blocked it with his other hand in front of his chest.

Amidst the flying sparks, a deep mark appeared on Siteliankus's arm.

Although Siteliankus's expression didn't change, the situation had become clear. Feilong's attack had caused effective damage, though not obvious, but over time it would gradually accumulate, and ultimately victory was destined to be hers.

"It seems the outcome is already decided." From afar, Hai Lun Na watched the battle scene and smiled.

"Ah? Isn't it still tense? Feilong only managed to strike Siteliankus once." Qin Ge asked doubtfully.

"A single hit means you can hit a second, a third time. In exchanges between experts, even the slightest difference can be fatal."

"So now Feilong has seized the initiative; the next step is to wait for Siteliankus to withdraw voluntarily." Hai Lun Na said.

"Voluntary withdrawal? Why not take this chance to annihilate her?" Qin Ge asked.

"Hehe, if arbitrators were that easy to eliminate, we wouldn't have been fighting them for so long." Hai Lun Na said.

Qin Ge nodded thoughtfully; indeed, if arbitrators were that easy to eliminate, they wouldn't have taken on the task of monitoring and obstructing Hai Lun Na and her group.

"Look, Siteliankus is beginning to retreat." Hai Lun Na pointed to the distance and said.

Qin Ge hurriedly looked, and indeed, as Hai Lun Na said, after Siteliankus hard-blocked Feilong's strike, he immediately retreated backward following the blade's momentum.

Feilong, seeing this, did not give chase; she simply lowered her blade and stood in place, watching until Siteliankus disappeared from view.

"Is it over?" Qin Ge asked.

"Mm, knowing Feilong is here, aside from Siteliankus summoning another arbitrator, otherwise with just her it would be hard to gain the upper hand." Hai Lun Na nodded.

"Then earlier we encountered two arbitrators, right? Would Siteliankus go look for them?" Qin Ge asked.

"No, because they still have more important tasks; otherwise they wouldn't have abandoned you and left back then." Hai Lun Na shook her head.

"Mm." Qin Ge picked up the communicator and said to the shipgirls still on alert at sea, "All hands, stand down; the arbitrators have left."

"Received."

"Commander, what about that one?" Xin ze xi asked over the communicator.

Qin Ge naturally knew what Xin ze xi was asking; he glanced at Hai Lun Na beside him, saw her nod, and put his mind at ease: "Xin ze xi, on behalf of our fleet, go invite her; if it weren't for her, we'd be in danger today."

"Invite her to the command ship?" Xin ze xi wondered.

"Yes." Qin Ge said.

"Understood."

At that moment, as everyone relaxed their vigilance, Xin ze xi instantly broke through the waves and glided toward Feilong not far away.

Soon, she arrived beside Feilong.

"Hello, I am Xin ze xi of the White Eagle. Thank you very much for your assistance; my commander would like to invite you to the command ship."

Xin ze xi was very courteous, after all, such a person is not to be offended lightly.

Only saw Feilong sheath her long blade, and the black scabbard transformed into a wisp of blue that vanished from her hand.

"Does your commander have another one of us over there?" Feilong asked Xin ze xi.

"Us? You mean shipgirls like you?" Xin ze xi asked.

Heilong nodded, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have released our unique signal."

"Oh, so that's what you meant?" Xin ze xi explained, "Earlier my commander met a shipgirl who claimed to be Hai Lun Na, and she gave that insignia to our commander."

"Hai Lun Na? So it's her." Feilong looked up at the distant command ship, "Alright, I accept your invitation; I estimate Hai Lun Na is also waiting on the command ship."

"You mean Hai Lun Na is currently on our command ship?" Xin ze xi wondered.

"I can feel it; let's go—you didn't come over just to invite me, did you?" Feilong said, and then began gliding toward the command ship.

Xin ze xi stood in place, shrugged, and said, "Tsk, suddenly I feel our guards have failed a bit; looks like we need to train properly later."

As the two glided toward the command ship, inside the command ship the situation was somewhat strange.

Because when Guanghui and the others boarded the command ship, they discovered that beside Qin Ge there was already a shipgirl standing, and she was someone none of them knew.

However, since Qin Ge showed no sign of panic, the situation had not yet turned tense.

As Qin Ge's marriage ship, Guanghui stepped forward first, smiling at Qin Ge: "Commander, seeing you safe and sound is wonderful. But could you trouble yourself to introduce the person beside you? We seem not to have met her before."

Qin Ge, originally at a loss for words due to this strange situation, upon hearing Guanghui's remark, quickly laughed and said.

"That one is the Hai Lun Na from another world that I told you about earlier, whom I saw on the Donghuang front line." Qin Ge hurriedly introduced.

"Hai Lun Na, these are my shipgirls; I believe you should also know them."

Hai Lun Na nodded with a smile, "Guanghui, Enterprise, hehe, they are all familiar faces."

"So then, was that the information you gave our commander?" King George V said with interest.

Hai Lun Na nodded, "Yes."

"Then why is it our commander?" Zhenhai asked Hai Lun Na.

"Of course because he is outstanding; in this world, as a commander, he is capable of standing alongside other factions, and possesses his own perseverance—only your commander fits that." Hai Lun Na smiled.

"What is your purpose?" Enterprise asked Hai Lun Na.

"Purpose?" Hai Lun Na chuckled, "Naturally, I want you to become our allies; surely you also feel the changes in this world, right?"

"Yes, what exactly is going on?" Weineituo asked.

"It's quite simple: because in other worlds, several time nodes suddenly appeared. We destroyed those time nodes and were then transmitted here; the situation I currently grasp is as follows."

"Now in this world there are many ships from other worlds, and many Antikes from other worlds, so it is becoming fraught with danger." Hai Lun Na said slowly.
