Chapter 853: Beyond the Ice Wall

Only seeing Feilong walk up to the film, he directly drew the long sword in his hand and immediately slashed at the film with one stroke.

Only the sound of a blade slicing was heard; the film seemed to have a slit torn open, and a long narrow crack appeared.

"We can go in now." After Feilong said that and turned his head, he took the lead and stepped into the crack, immediately followed by Fanji and Shengwang. Qin Ge and Suweiai Bellaluosi exchanged a glance, then led the others as they followed him inside.

However, surprisingly, after passing through the film it was not the imagined ground, but still a sea area.

Qin Ge looked at the situation helplessly and glanced at Belfast, only to see Belfast smile and say, "Master, just stay on my back from now on."

"Cough, I really feel a bit embarrassed; it seems that this time when we go back I need to have Mingshi step up research on that water-surface glider. Although I can't fight alongside you, if we encounter such a situation again, we won't end up in this embarrassing predicament." Qin Ge said embarrassedly.

"Hehe, actually I don't mind at all; perhaps fighting alongside my master is my honor." Belfast laughed and squatted down.

Qin Ge helplessly climbed up, was carried on Belfast's back, and followed her as she leapt into the water. Everyone in the Fleet wore smiles, having no objection to Belfast's decision to carry Qin Ge.

Although they also wanted to carry Qin Ge on their backs, this time their mission was not to look after Qin Ge but to participate in the upcoming battle.

"Or say it's no wonder it's the Sirens' mirror sea? From the outside gate it looks completely normal, but I never expected it to be this huge once inside." Suweiai Bellaluosi exclaimed, "In other words, the strange conditions that appeared earlier were all devices set up by the Sirens, truly astonishing."

Moreover, the huge iceberg on the sea surface has also changed, just like the previous control panel, emitting glowing patterns as if activated machinery.

Indeed, the mirror sea constantly restores the iceberg; it's not merely meaningless scenery restoration—everything, including the iceberg, is an essential component of this giant city. Talin also remarked with feeling.

"But why didn't we just walk straight in earlier? That film couldn't have stopped us, could it?" Xin ze xi, standing nearby, looked at Feilong.

"That is a special stance device; if we swaggered in, it would activate the sea area's defense equipment. Moreover, I just now didn't cut the stance, only separated it, which can minimize the enemies we might encounter later." Feilong said.

"Eh, given our current strength, ordinary Sirens should no longer be a match for us, right?" Vanguard wondered doubtfully.

"That's true, but here there aren't only ordinary Sirens; besides them there are also Arbiters, so we must be careful in everything." Fanji said, shaking his head.

"Hmm."

Everyone understood what Fanji said, saw no reason to argue, and thus followed Feilong's movements. Soon they arrived at the door of an iceberg facility; just like the film they had just passed through, Feilong stepped forward and directly separated it, and everyone followed him inside.

"This place…… feels similar to the previous location. However, the decorative layout and even the internal spatial structure are completely different, very much like a certain battle command room." Suweiai Bellaluosi said, looking at the scene before her.

After setting foot on the ground, Qin Ge also slipped down from Belfast's back. Although riding on Belfast's back had been comfortable all the way, especially smelling that fragrant body scent, which made Qin Ge reluctant to leave, but now it's time to attend to business, so he can only bear the pain and temporarily part with this wonderful feeling.

Looking at the battle command room completely different from the previous control room, Qin Ge's attention fell on the two flags hanging under the eaves. The familiar emblem and colors made Qin Ge almost without hesitation say:

"Oceanic Federation, Advance Front!"

"Hmm? Comrade Commander Qin Ge, is the organization insignia hanging under the eaves the Oceanic Federation and Advance Front you mentioned earlier?" Jiluofu asked.

"Indeed, in the dossier we searched earlier in the sea area, there were already the insignia of the Oceanic Federation and the Advance Front. This insignia is similar to those of the two alliances in my world, just as Feilong said—it seems this place hides even more secrets." Qin Ge said.

"But there are too many rooms here; do we have to explore them one by one?" Nengdai asked.

Qin Ge nodded and said, "We have so many people; if we spread out, I believe we can explore them quickly. However, before that I want to ask Feilong: you're also fairly familiar with this place, right? Do you know which parts are relatively important?"

Feilong nodded and said, "If things here haven't changed from over there, follow me."

As he spoke, Feilong led everyone toward a place resembling a conference room. Upon entering the conference room, the first thing that caught their eyes was a huge screen occupying most of the wall, with a giant emblem on it, and on either side of the screen many computers were placed, each also bearing that giant emblem.

"This is the Arbiter's emblem!?" Qin Ge exclaimed.

"Indeed, it's exactly the same as the emblem on the previous metal pillar. So what was this place used for before?" Tiancheng wondered.

"Take a look at this: on the screen there is a battle situation diagram recording the course of a certain battle, resembling a certain island defense battle." Xin ze xi said.

Qin Ge quickly stepped up, looked at the map, and couldn't help but frown: "The red star in the center represents an important target; the defense lines set around the target obviously intend a thorough last-ditch stand, but conducting purely defensive operations at sea is not a wise choice."

"Yeah, a fleet that turtles around the island perimeter on defense will fall into a huge disadvantage due to losing maneuverable attack space; although the surroundings appear to have some small islands that could serve as buffers, even so, carrying out such a layout…" Jiluofu said.

"Unless facing enemies several times our number and surrounding us from all directions, such a defense is practically choosing to charge head‑on. That shows the target is very important; therefore, even if we lay a long defensive line at sea, we must fight to the death to protect the target's integrity and safety." Wuzang said with a smile.

"Because this map is exactly the map of the Long Island Defense Battle!" Fanji sighed, "All these choices are helpless moves; we have no other option but to fight like this."

"Could you give a detailed explanation of that battle?" Qin Ge asked.

"Not for the time being." Feilong said.

"Why?" Qin Ge asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because from the moment we arrived here, we've already been watched." Hu Teng raised his head, his voice becoming somewhat excited.
