Chapter 703: Iron-Blooded Resolve

On the sea surface, the battle was still ongoing.

At this time, besides Qin Ge, the fleets in the other two directions also began contact with the Siren Fleet, and the battle joined together.

Originally, all major factions had a high opinion of Qin Ge's ship girls, but after seeing their coordination once the battle started, they realized they had previously underestimated them.

Even though the duration of the battle was not as long as theirs, and they were not stronger in individual combat, in team cooperation and swiftly clearing the sea surface of Sirens, they were far stronger, even without awakened ship girls.

"How does it feel, Bosimao Jiang?" Ou Gen Qin Wang of Iron Blood, while battling the Siren Fleet before him, also linked communications with Bisimai in the communicator.

"An ideal army." Bisimai said seriously.

"That's right, although they are both Iron Blood and White Eagle, the ship girls under Qin Ge Commander cooperate more closely, their offensive is like a tide, never stopping, truly an ideal army."

"Although I had heard of this tactic from Genaisenao before, and also seen it in his written teaching materials, being able to organize those unruly people and form a unified offensive is truly rare." Ou Gen Qin Wang sighed.

"Compared to them, we Iron Blood currently have a certain advantage in individual combat power, but we are far behind them in cooperative combat. It seems that when we return next, we must strengthen this aspect of training; this world is no longer what it was before." Bisimai said softly.

"That's true, but I'm more interested in that person." Ou Gen Qin Wang said, turning sideways toward the ship girl with money laid on her, who opened fire, only to discover that three shells had already accurately struck that fallen ship girl, sinking her.

She turned her face and saw not far away, Emperor Frederick holding a command baton, smiling at her, with two huge dragon-shaped ship equipments coiled around him.

Obviously, the three-direction shells just fired came from her hand; for this, Ou Gen Qin Wang nodded toward the distant Emperor Frederick, expressing his thanks.

"That huge ship equipment, and that awe-inspiring presence—I don't recall Iron Blood ever having such a planned ship. Moreover, the name Emperor Frederick reminds me of the former High Seas Fleet."

"Although Genaisenao and her companions already knew of her existence when they returned, only after fighting side by side could they feel her power." Ou Gen Qin Wang continued.

"The plan item remains a mystery to us; although we have learned some things from the Northern Union, lacking a planned ship, we cannot conduct deep investigation."

"After this great battle, I have decided to cooperate strategically with Qin Ge Commander, so that we can gain a clearer understanding of everything related to the planned ship."

"Even if we cannot understand, we can share some technology and learn some of the remnants' technology he speaks of." Bisimai said.

"A wise choice." Ou Gen Qin Wang said, "I think not only us, but other factions will also pay more attention to Qin Ge Commander."

"Besides Donghuang and Sakura Empire, which initially put all the pressure on him, I think we can strive to become a third force."

"Hmm, since you agree as well, then let's proceed. We must definitely get ahead of other factions, even if we have to pay some cost." Bisimai said.

"Understood!"

This scene was not only playing out among the Iron Blood high command, but also among several other factions, which began to reassess Qin Ge's power and consider future strategic changes regarding him.

Now anyone can see that the world's future changes are inseparable from Qin Ge; if one does not want to become a bystander, one must become more deeply involved with him.

After all, since he became commander, the several major events that have occurred in this world have all revolved around him.

Just as several factions began making decisions, the situation on the battlefield was also changing rapidly.

Without interference from arbitrators, the three fleets responsible for the three directions advanced very quickly; in less than an hour they had already resolved a Siren outpost and began to push deeper.

However, to maintain cooperation among the three fleets, they did not keep too far apart; thus this tactic is less a fan-shaped advance and more a trident-shaped thrust.

On Qin Ge's command ship, Zhenhai recovered the carrier aircraft that had flown back into the ship equipment space, then entered the cabin and said to Qin Ge:

"Just now, the left and right flanks have also ended battle; they did not choose to expand farther out because of victory, but instead continue advancing forward like us."

Qin Ge nodded, "It seems they also know now is not the time to hastily expand gains, but the biggest reason is likely that our fleet is there—this also counts as a safeguard."

"Hehe, Commander Qin Ge's thoughts surely aren't that simple." Zhenhai smiled, "Besides being a safeguard, you also want to demonstrate the martial strength of our harbor district, right?"

Qin Ge smiled, "Indeed, you can't hide it from me—Not bad, I just want to show off the martial strength of our harbor district."

The world is changing; even after this battle, the next one might be more brutal. Therefore we must prepare in advance, and besides the strength of our harbor district, the other major factions are also relatively strong.

The remnants have not yet joined our harbor district; future cooperation is uncertain—if they cooperate for a while and then suddenly leave this world, who can guarantee that?

Therefore we must prepare for the worst, relying on our world's strength to resist the arbitrators.

Although I also wish to discuss this matter peacefully with them, if we do not demonstrate the martial strength of our harbor district, our say will appear very weak.

Zhenhai laughed lightly, "Actually, Commander Qin Ge doesn't need to be so pessimistic; sometimes things are simpler than you imagine. The sudden appearance of so many arbitrators and remnants in this world is certainly not coincidental; it's likely someone behind the scenes is manipulating all of this."

Although I cannot now say clearly who it is, it is obvious that this behind-the-scenes person should be stronger than the Sirens; otherwise, they would not be able to draw arbitrators capable of destroying a world and remnants into this world.

"Is that so?" Qin Ge pondered, "I feel the mysteries are increasing; I suddenly recall Hai Lun Na's words: the more you know, it's not necessarily a good thing—it may bring more troubles and attacks. Our current situation is no different."

"Yes, so we only need to focus on the present; first, let's thoroughly clear the Siren-infested waters of the Atlantic Ocean."

"Hmm."
