He is the commander and the admiral.

As the sound of artillery fire rang out, everyone's eyes turned to the Siren host that suddenly exploded. This sudden situation was an unexpected result for everyone, but Frederick the Great smiled when he saw this scene, and soon a figure ran out of the Siren host.

"Gneisenau? But this feels like META's Gneisenau? But why is she here?"

When Enterprise saw the Gneisenau META appear, his eyes were full of confusion, but when he saw that Iron Blood didn't seem surprised at all, he realized that this matter was most likely made up by them. But it was more or less unexpected that Iron Blood could actually win over META-ized ship girls, and he was also amazed that the Gneisenau META destroyed the Siren host just like that.

However, in fact, the current Gneisenau META is also surprised by this situation.

"You actually said that one shot would be successful?"

Gneisenau META, who had been observing in secret before, saw the situation when others attacked the host. The amazing defense was so strong that even she felt that she might need to expend some effort to succeed. However, the actual result was unexpected. It was successful with just one attack.

However, this situation did not make her feel that she was too strong, but she thought that there was something fishy going on, but she could not figure out what it was.

Chapter 289 Re-discussing Cooperation

Although they were very confused, Gneisenau META did not pay too much attention to the current situation. After all, the last builder had not been dealt with yet.

At the same time, Roger finally couldn't hold on any longer and lay on the table gasping for breath. He felt that his head was aching so much that he wanted to faint. Perhaps this would make him feel better. However, he couldn't faint in the current situation. He was also very concerned about the situation outside.

"TB...how's the situation?"

"The Siren host has been successfully destroyed. The builders who are no longer able to connect to the host are now in a disadvantageous situation. The result will soon emerge."

TB briefly explained the situation outside. Although the ship girls outside had lost Roger's support, it did not have much impact on the current situation. After all, they already had experience fighting against the Builders before, and it was not difficult for them to fight again now, not to mention the existence of a META-ized Gneisenau, so they could handle the situation very well.

"That's good…"

After hearing the result, Roger relaxed completely. All of a sudden, he felt extremely tired and couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

TB looked at the unconscious Roger, his eyes in the image revealing concern, and he reached out and touched the screen, as if he really wanted to touch him, but this was obviously impossible.

At this time, the Builder was in a completely disadvantageous situation. Her ship equipment had been severely damaged, and her own energy had been exhausted. Since she could not connect to the host, it was predictable what would happen to her.

"Warning...Power is less than 2%...System is about to enter hibernation..."

"Is it finally over?"

At this point everyone realized that the battle with the Sirens was about to end. Even if the builders in front of them did not need to take action, the opponent would eventually enter a dormant state due to energy depletion. It could be said that they had already won.

"Then let's get out of here as soon as possible."

New Jersey looked at the space torn apart by the Gate of Avalon. It was now beginning to recover. If they couldn't get out in time, all of them would have to stay here.

Everyone agreed and started moving towards the exit. Akagi, Taihou, Cheshire and others immediately ran to the command ship. When they arrived at the command ship, they saw Roger sleeping on the table, and they nervously went forward to check on him. After confirming that he was simply exhausted, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone evacuated from this special space, everyone's attention was focused on the Iron Blood Fleet as they watched the cracks gradually recover and disappear.

"What are your plans next?"

Enterprise asked, everything nowadays could be said to be planned by Iron Blood. Now that the Siren host has been destroyed, no one knows what will happen next. Even whether the relationship between the two sides will still be the same as before is a question worth thinking about.

"When the time comes, you can talk to the Iron Blood's flagship, Bismarck, about these matters."

"Bismarck? Didn't she disappear? Did you plan this from the beginning?"

The Prince of Wales frowned, and when he saw Frederick the Great nod in acknowledgment, he fell silent for a moment.

"But I have to say that the commander, his abilities and ideas are really excellent, which makes us want to invite him to the Iron Blood Fleet and continue to cooperate with him."

"Forget it! How can we let the commander go to your Iron Blood Fleet?"

When seeing Frederick the Great talking about Roger, he looked very optimistic and even wanted to bring him to the Iron Blood Fleet, Saratoga immediately became alert.

"This matter is not up to you to decide. It's just that the commander has obviously consumed too much energy in the situation just now."

Up to now, there has been no news from the command ship about Roger's new arrangements, which obviously means there is something wrong. And there has been no movement from Akagi and the others after they went up, which means it is not a big problem and they will be able to recover with just rest.

However, this also meant that he lost the opportunity to talk to the other party and invite him, which made Frederick the Great feel very sorry.

"The Siren's actions will most likely slow down slightly in the future. However, after an incident like this, the other party will definitely be more vigilant and more difficult to deal with. Let's talk about future cooperation later."

After saying all this, Frederick the Great left with his fleet. No one else tried to stop him. They all returned to Scapa Flow to rest and explained the situation to their companions in their respective ports.

"This is the first time we've won a victory like this, but what's even more surprising is that the Iron Blood guys did so many things without saying a word. Whether it's the artificial singularity called Avalon's Gate, or the investigation of the Siren host, or even the Gneisenau META, it really brings surprises to people."

Saratoga sighed, and the others nodded in agreement.

"But if that's the case, does that mean we can also allow our meta-transformed companions to fight with us again?"

"That's unlikely. I can sense that the me we met before and Kaohsiung META didn't want to have much contact with us."

Enterprise shook his head and felt that this kind of thing was not so easy to accomplish, which also made Saratoga show a look of regret on his face.

"What's more critical is the future situation. It's inevitable to re-cooperate with Iron Blood, but the details have not been determined yet. The commander will definitely have contact with them, but the problem is that Iron Blood is also very interested in the commander."

New Jersey feels a little conflicted. There are more and more opponents, and they are not simple guys. This is really a headache. In the final analysis, it can only be blamed on the fact that the speed of completing her ship equipment is too slow. Otherwise, the current situation may not be such a headache.

Chapter 290 Sister Sarah’s charm is indeed irresistible!

"here…"

When Roger woke up and opened his eyes, he looked at the unfamiliar ceiling in front of him and quickly recalled what had happened before.

"Master! You finally woke up!"

Dido, who had been watching over him, came up to Roger as soon as she saw him open his eyes and said, "You've slept for the whole day. If it wasn't for the fact that you were too tired, everyone would be worried to death."

"Really? But this is something that is beyond my control. There is nothing I can do about it. Anyway, everything will be alright in the end, right?"

"Well, everyone has evacuated safely, but everyone is waiting for you to decide on the issue regarding Iron Blood later on."

"Iron Blood..."

After hearing this, Roger thought about it for a moment and quickly understood the problem, which was basically about the subsequent relationship and cooperation between the two parties.

"After something like this happens, it is inevitable that the camps will work together again. Otherwise, this battle will be even more difficult. Therefore, cooperation with Iron Blood is necessary."

Dido nodded slightly. She didn't have too many thoughts on this matter. After all, she was just a maid. It was not her turn to consider such matters. Therefore, all she had to do was respond to Roger's words.

"But before that, Master, you should eat something. After all, you haven't eaten much all day. I only gave you some liquid food to fill your stomach."

"Well, I am indeed very hungry, but after all, my mouth..."

Roger felt his slightly swollen mouth, and Dido blushed a little at the situation.

"Well... because the master didn't wake up, Dido had to feed him mouth to mouth. Only in this way could she ensure that the master could eat well..."

However, while feeding her, I couldn't help but kiss her a little longer, so this situation happened.

"Wuwu~ I'm sorry! Master! I did something without your consent! As your maid, I was completely unable to control my desires. I am really useless!"

Looking at Dido's sad and self-blaming expression, Roger couldn't help but sigh. It has been such a long time and she is still like this. But he has to say that Dido like this is really likable.

"Okay, okay, I forgive you."

"Really? Thank you so much! You are the best master in the world for forgiving a useless maid like me!"

After receiving the reassuring answer, Dido showed a beautiful smile on her face, and immediately began to prepare food for Roger.

After filling his stomach, Roger walked out of the room. At this time, a large number of ship girls gathered in Scapa Flow. As soon as Roger came out, he saw ship girls everywhere.

While looking around, a carrier-based aircraft the size of a figurine slammed into Roger's head with a whoosh.

"Ah! The commander was hit!"

Saratoga's voice came immediately, but from her voice it was clear that this situation was not an accident at all, but an intentional act.

"But are you finally up? You know, if you don't get up, Sister Sarah will get impatient and will play some terrible pranks on the commander."

Saratoga came to Roger with a mischievous smile on her face, which made people feel fond of her and like her.

"This is not something I can control. Besides, even if you played a prank on me, I wouldn't know until I wake up."

"That's true. If the commander doesn't know about this, then this prank would be meaningless. Besides, other people wouldn't necessarily let me do this."

Thinking about how Akagi and the others had been surrounding Roger's bed when he hadn't woken up, she would have been subjected to terrifying gazes if she got close. If they hadn't been worried about affecting Roger's recovery, these people would have gone straight into bed.

Roger saw how depressed Saratoga's expression became and he couldn't help but poke her nose with his finger, which instantly brought her back to her senses.

"Ah! Commander! How could you suddenly poke my nose? Really!"

Saratoga, who had regained her senses, puffed up her face in anger at Kuole's behavior, but it only made Roger laugh even more happily.

Seeing this situation, Saratoga was about to say something, but suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said with a smile, "By the way, Commander, there is something I have been wanting to give you, so can you please lower your head and close your eyes?"

"Okay."

Roger agreed to this without thinking too much. When he closed his eyes and couldn't see anything, his cheeks suddenly snapped twice and his mouth was pouting due to being squeezed by his two hands.

This situation made Roger open his eyes, and he saw Saratoga's smiling face.

"Hahaha~ Stupid Commander! Did you think I was really going to kiss you? This prank was a great success! This is the punishment for the way you treated me just now, Commander!"

Saratoga rubbed Roger's face without any courtesy. When she was satisfied, she suddenly kissed Roger's lips and actively stuck out her tongue, allowing Roger to come into good contact and entangle with it.

"I lied to you before~ Sister Sarah loves the Commander, how could she do something that would disappoint the Commander?"

After doing all this, Saratoga let go of Roger's face with satisfaction.

"How is it? Is your heart beating fast because of sister Sarah's charm?"

"No, this has happened many times before."

"Eh heh heh!! No? You must be kidding! Commander, you are not deliberately lying to sister Sarah! If you are, I will be angry!"

Saratoga looked incredulous, thinking that Roger was lying to her on purpose. After all, she couldn't accept her behavior just now, which didn't make Roger have any reaction. Even though they had kissed many times, there shouldn't be anyone like her!

"If you don't believe it, do you want to try again?"

"Try again? Hum~ What? Commander, you said that on purpose because you still want a kiss from sister Sara."

Saratoga showed an expression as if she had seen through Roger's goal, and at the same time she regained her confidence.

"As expected, Sister Sarah's charm is something the Commander cannot resist."

Chapter 291 Subsequent Discussion

"Then let's talk about the Iron Blood incident this time, Commander."

At this time, many ship girls gathered in the conference room, including Elizabeth and Mikasa who participated through communication equipment.

"Regarding the issue of cooperation with the Iron Blood Fleet, the headquarters does not have any special problems, so this matter is completely left to us to decide."

The Prince of Wales briefly explained this point, so Roger only needed to discuss this matter with the ship girls and then make a decision directly.

"Then there shouldn't be anything special that needs to be discussed about this issue, right?"

Roger believes that this trend of cooperation is inevitable, so there is no need to continue discussions in this regard.

"That's true, but Commander, do you think the ship girls on the Iron Blood side will be so easy to cooperate with us?"

"Well, some of it will work, right?"

Roger thought for a moment and replied, at least in the previous battle with the Builder, the cooperation in this aspect was still in a pretty good state.

"Yes, but that's only a small part. To be honest, the rest are easier to deal with, but most of them don't take us seriously. The Iron-Blooded Ship Girls have problems in all aspects of their personalities, so it's quite difficult to get along well with them."

This situation can be clearly felt in the early period when Azur Lane was just formed. It was precisely because the Iron Blood kept a distance from everyone at the time that they were able to leave Azur Lane without anyone noticing and take away a large amount of Siren technology information.

"I will have a good talk with Frederick the Great about this situation when the time comes."

The relationship between ship girls has always been a very concerning issue, and also the most troublesome issue.

"Commander, there is one more thing I need to explain. Since you were unconscious before, you didn't know that Bismarck has returned. Or, in other words, she had no problems from the beginning. She just pretended to be missing in order to let the Siren relax her vigilance."

The company informed Roger of the news so that he would remember it and not make the wrong choice again.

"I see. But this isn't a big, unexpected problem."

Roger nodded slightly and didn't feel too surprised. He just thought that it was a bit of a headache that the communication partner changed from Frederick the Great to Bismarck. After all, he didn't know much about Bismarck, and getting along and talking with Frederick the Great would make him feel that things would be much easier.

"Before that, they also formally sent out an invitation, hoping that the commander could go to the Iron Blood Port to discuss the future cooperation between the two parties, as well as other issues regarding the Sirens, and expressed their hope that the commander would go to the Iron Blood Port to discuss other enemies besides the Sirens."

"Enemy other than the Sirens? Are you referring to those META-ized shipgirls?"

If we talk about the people that can be thought of, then the people that Roger can know are probably only those ship girls from other worlds that have appeared in the past, but it is not quite right to say that they are enemies, right? Although Kaohsiung META is very hostile to him, Enterprise META is quite nice to him. At least when there is a problem, they rescue him in time.

"We don't know, but we did see the METAized Gneisenau join the Iron Bloods. The destruction of the Siren host was done with her help. This also makes us think that if we meet a METAized ship girl we know in the future, we might consider winning her over. This will not only allow us to better understand the problem, but also greatly increase our strength."

"If there is such an opportunity, I can give it a try, but it is not easy to meet them."

"I have already made preparations for this matter."
