The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

Even more stable than ordinary people.

In fact, it is not surprising that young geniuses develop into any kind of personalities under the influence of soul power.

Akamori Yuaki has seen even more bizarre examples.

But Lin Shen is obviously an exception.

But this is not a good thing.

"People with strong spiritual power will always get stuck in a rut in some aspect."

Akamori Yuaki said.

"They will be extremely paranoid in a certain direction. Those who are lustful will spend every day surrounded by women and wish they could die there. Those who love food will eat wherever they go. Some B-level commanders have a very strong hoarding habit and will hoard everything. This behavior is simply uncontrollable. Although they are more rational than others in other matters, they are completely unable to extricate themselves from their own paranoia."

"So? I'm not a foodie, nor am I lustful, and I don't have a hoarding habit. I'm pretty normal."

"For the developers of soul power, the more normal something looks, the more extreme it is in some ways. With the strength of your soul power, even if you slaughter all of humanity for that goal, you wouldn't blink an eye, right?"

Akamori Yuaki said in a joking tone.

"For things like that, you should think carefully about the consequences. If everyone dies, who will create material enjoyment?"

Lin Shen replied without any fluctuation in his tone.

This is also one of the reasons why he most wants to avoid this method.

No matter how you look at it, that kind of world is completely desolate.

There's no point in staying here.

No one will be happy.

"I knew you had thought about it, and more than once."

"..."

"That's why I have to make it clear to you that the experiment cannot be stopped. If you want to stop it, just use enough energy. As long as your voice can cover every surviving country, you can do whatever you want and transform the existing new era society as you please. But you also know that there is an absolute prerequisite, that is, the Siren will not stand by and watch while we are playing house and fighting each other."

"They've been watching for so long anyway, so it's not surprising that they keep watching. After all, I've never understood why the Sirens haven't launched a full-scale attack to completely annihilate human civilization. Why? Is it because they don't like it? I have no doubt that they have the ability to do so, and they have it now."

"Others have thought about your question as well. But for many people, being alive now is enough. Who knows what will happen in a dozen or even dozens of years?"

Akamori Yuaki spread out his hands and said.

"They don't care. They just enjoy their current miserable lives. Future generations will solve their own problems. Who knows, in a few years, there will be several commanders with A-level soul strength. Even now, relying on the mercy of the Siren is not a big deal, right?"

"I don't care about this kind of thing. It's not that high a priority. Humans and Sirens are not important to me."

"It is the most important thing for you that mutants can have 'human rights' in a normal society, right?"

"..."

"In order to achieve this goal, you can go and pay the third price. This is the second thing I called you to say."

141. Final Agreement

"What is the third price?"

Although I already had some guesses in my mind, I still had to ask the questions that needed to be asked.

Who knows some things that we keep in our hearts?

In the end, you still have to go through the process.

"How much do you know about Sakura Castle?"

“I am aware of all the information that is publicly available.”

"Then you should know how slow the progress is over there."

Akamori Yumi said.

"Almost all of the Siren's main forces are concentrated in the coastal areas. In recent years, their development has not been restricted by any means, and the number of their forces has reached an unprecedented scale. What you said just now is correct. The reason why humans can still shout the word "peace" is only because the hunters have not yet planned to end this game."

This is Akamori Yuaki's own opinion.

But many people do not agree.

Or rather, there is no such feeling.

People all over the world are tormented by the continuous wars and are wanting to die.

It has finally stopped now, and it has not been many years.

No one wants to live a life where they are insecure and can hear the roar of artillery fire every day.

peace!

This is what most people want right now.

Therefore, the Oi family's dereliction of duty was denounced on the Internet.

Even if the Nogami family did nothing, someone would spontaneously say, "If you can't do it and can't guarantee safety, then get out of here and let the competent people come up."

No one pampers them on the Internet.

In reality, it’s pretty much the same.

Although there are few people who can become commanders, commanders all have elderly parents and young children to take care of.

They were all at their youngest.

Naturally, one’s twenties is also the age when one most wants to respond to parents’ expectations.

If their home was filled with complaints against the Oi family and disparagements of the Inuen Guards.

Then they will naturally be influenced subtly.

If one day they had to choose between their family and the Dog Flame Guards—

I'm afraid there won't be many people who stand firmly against the family.

For the Commander, working anywhere is working.

Staying in the Inuen Guard is one thing, but staying in the Nogami family's Black Clan is not the same thing, right?

The identity of "commander" is the basis for their confidence in winning everything.

"so?"

"So I need someone who can help me change the situation on the Sakura Castle battlefield."

Akamori Yuaki said.

"I am not short of people, money or equipment, but I am short of the tip of the knife. There are many commanders, but there are very few who can play a key role and win key battles. Even I myself cannot do this now."

Akamori Yuaki stared at Lin Shen with burning eyes, as if he was looking at a peerless sword.

"But you can, right?"

"……maybe."

Lin Shen replied without comment.

"War, as an act of venting violence, is ultimately just a means. I don't like war itself."

"I can tell."

"..."

Akamori Yuaki could even guess that there should be another half sentence after Lin Shen's words: "If the only way to achieve the goal is to use war, then I have no choice."

Lin Shen does have a lot of concerns.

But in the final analysis, there wasn't much for him to really worry about.

If it really comes to that.

Gradually discard the things with lower priority one by one——

This is something Lin Shen would do.

This has little to do with whether he is willing or not or whether he wants to do it.

"I need you to go to Sakura Castle and help me achieve victory!"

After a moment of silence, Akamori Yuaki said firmly.

"It is not difficult to win a battle, but it is difficult to win the entire battle. Winning or losing one or two battles will not have much impact on the overall trend."

Lin Shen replied.

"Do you want me to help you win a few battles, or do you want me to help you push the front line to the real coast?"

The difficulty of these two things is not even on the same order of magnitude.

"If possible, I would certainly prefer you to win the entire battle."

"If that's the case, my shipgirl and I can't do it alone."

"I can give you military power."

"..."

When Akamori Yuaki said that, it seemed as if he hadn't thought it through.

Hand over military power to an outsider?

Go crazy.

What if he turns around and comes after you?

But before saying this, Akamori Yuaki thought about it for a long time.

"I can give you the position of 'General' of the Sakura Castle District. From now on, the military power of Sakura Castle will gradually be transferred to your hands. After you complete the third price, this will be the reward you deserve."

"..."

If this is the case, then Lin Shen can start doing many things.

However, in this way, there are more things to consider. Once politics is involved, there will inevitably be various conflicts of interest. Although the national conditions of the Sakura Empire are special, and he was nominated and appointed by the Marshal himself, he was directly airborne.

Even so, the troubles are still much more foreseeable.

Managing a few people and managing dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, or tens of thousands of people are completely different concepts.

Of course, Lin Shen can just take care of the army.

But the group of "commanders" is very special.

They have different identities and represent different interest groups.

Even if this huge cake was held in Lin Shen's hands.

What follows is likely to be the foreshadowing of a volley of thousands of arrows.

"It's not easy to handle a hot potato, and..."

Lin Shen's gaze shifted toward the window.

The voice paused.

As if thinking.

After two seconds, he came to his senses and asked.

"Will you watch Sakura Castle being cut out?"

What's the use of just holding military power?

Fists are used to grab what you need.

What Lin Shen wanted to achieve was a territory that belonged to him alone, where everyone from top to bottom would obey his orders unconditionally.

Faced with this kind of problem, Akamori Yuaki was not annoyed, as he had certainly thought about it a long time ago.

"It doesn't matter if I give it all to you. It was originally intended for you to operate freely over there. However, it's not realistic to give it all away. The Sakura Castle District is very large, and you may not be able to manage it all by yourself. Even if you have a lot of merits, you know that things that are intimidated by force will always collapse instantly when the force leaves."

"..."

Even if Lin Shen is invincible, he can still turn Sakura Castle into his own place of authority.

That also gives others fear of one's own military power.

Akamori Yuaki reminded meaningfully.
