The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

But, does Lin Shen still have time now?

After today, Siren's actions will probably follow suit.

w7 is still quite a distance away from the coast.

But if you want to start a counterattack - you can start now.

"I will activate the replica." Lin Shen said.

"..." The three ship girls fell silent.

Replica.

Although it is not unusable, but after mixing them like this, it always feels a bit distorted.

Even Lin Shen had to compromise here now.

"Well... let's go see what's in the control room." Lin Shen said.

He did not explain further.

Jiang Feng and Tirpitz both understood what he meant.

Apart from this method, there is really no better alternative.

Previously, the reason why Lin Shen never used the replica was because the replica was just a machine.

Every machine has its own way of using it.

Of course, it is different from a normal ship girl who controls a mutant.

He was worried that he would get used to that method of use, and his thinking would completely go in the opposite direction, and he would not be able to pull himself back.

Do you expect a commander who is so good at playing with replicas to still have much sympathy for mutants?

Even if you expect it, will others accept it?

Once this gap is opened, there will be another barrier to gaining the mutant's trust.

There is no way around it.

But Lin Shen had no better solution.

After leading the team back to reunite in Glasgow, Lin Shen talked about his solution and shared what the explorer had just said.

Glasgow only heard half of it, and then said directly: "Just activate the replica."

"Once activated, there will be a permanent 'stain' on your resume," said Lin Shen.

"It's okay, I believe you." Glasgow responded very straightforwardly.

"Ha..." Lin Shen shook his head, looking helpless.

He looked at the vacated control room, from where he could see the situation inside the entire fortress.

"Glasgow, although you trust me very much, but once this stain appears, it will be even more difficult to find a second Glasgow." While groping, Lin Shen expressed his concerns.

"Commander, you should have some confidence in yourself." Glasgow said, "Your ideas will definitely be accepted by more mutants, and you will definitely be able to find more like-minded ship girls. Trust my judgment."

"I don't even know what the basis of your judgment is."

"The basis is the current fleet."

"..."

Lin Shen looked back at the ship girls standing next to him. The evidence provided by Glasgow was truly impeccable.

Since we can build such a fleet, we will definitely be able to build a second one later.

Many things will happen a second time after the first time.

"Anyway, I feel it's very difficult." Lin Shen turned his head and said in a low voice.

"Time will prove my words, Commander." Glasgow smiled, as if he had never doubted his own opinion. "Your excellence will definitely be recognized by more shipgirls, and the size of the fleet will not stop here, even if we can only temporarily rely on the power of the clones now."

"It would be great if all mutants could be as easy to talk to as you. Unfortunately, the secondary mutation cut off this possibility. The memory patch now looks more and more like a sword of Damocles hanging over our heads."

"..." In response to this, all the mutants present were silent.

This is indeed true.

After all, they know very well how they felt at first and how they feel now.

Human sins are unforgivable and cannot be counted on. Lin Shen is the only special case like him.

How can we ask every mutant to believe in this extremely small possibility?

It's like a fantasy.

Those mutants have no idea who Lin Shen is and whether he can be trusted.

But the memory patch is believable.

Therefore, there was no suspense about this choice from the beginning.

This is also the reason why Lin Shen is unwilling to try to build it again.

He didn't care that the other mutants hated and rejected him.

It would be so hurtful if the children I created were like this.

Moreover, "a man of kindness cannot be in charge of an army" has now become a shackle that restrains Lin Shen.

It's not good to have a relationship that is too close.

Ugh……

There are so many problems to be solved.

Lin Shen can only take one step at a time and see what happens next.

big head.

This also applies to the ship girls.

They also don't like the idea of ​​replicas as substitutes.

But Lin Shen’s safety cannot be ignored.

Besides, at least the clones were safe, better than mutants that might backstab you.

Or, in order to prevent the mutant from backstabbing him, does Lin Shen have to pick up the slave-like soul contract again?

If this is really the case, it would be a huge step backwards.

It even affects the principles, so it is not acceptable.

After much thought, it would be more convenient to move the copy out.

82. Songcheng

The A4 stronghold was completely destroyed.

Although the fortress itself is still here, the most threatening city defense facilities have all been blown up.

Its only function now is to station troops.

Siren does not use this function.

So after being destroyed, according to the Sirens' previous choice tendencies, they will most likely withdraw from this area.

There is no point in guarding this empty shell without core values.

But this time it's different -

This time the Siren did not need to withdraw.

This is because the Siren army assembled at the A4 stronghold has already rushed to the distant W4 area border defense line without reservation.

A large number of fortifications were built there, nestling against the mountains and beside the water.

Various fortresses, and things connected together like city walls.

All of them are equipped with Vulcan cannons.

This thing is still very useful in this kind of large-scale war.

Although, the main focus is on the border clone army guarding there.

After leaving the fortress, Lin Shen received the battle report from there.

The war has begun.

Although wars have become common in this era.

There was an outbreak in Donghuang last year.

It doesn't seem strange that there is another outbreak this year.

What's more, it's here in Sakura Castle.

But, unlike in the past, Yuaki Akamori is not at Sakura Castle this time.

Moreover, this time the Siren dispatched an army of 700,000 troops, which had never been deployed before.

Secondly, this was the first time that the Siren had launched a frontal offensive with a force of this size since Akamori Yuaki opened up the war zone.

The pressure on the entire W4 border defense line began to rise rapidly with the arrival of the Siren troops.

Anyone who uses CMA is basically paying attention to the real-time battle report here.

Lin Shen glanced at the military's public statement and instantly knew what Kawahara Katsu was planning.

Don't you want a quick win?

Let everyone know that the military is not unwilling to take the initiative.

It’s just that the Sirens are too threatening, and taking the initiative to attack is very risky.

right?

The idea is good, but like that famous line of defense, it can be bypassed.

There is no real value.

After the A4 stronghold was captured, Kawahara Katsu's plan was no longer effective.

Lin Shen led a fleet of ten ship girls and evacuated along the underground passage.

After returning to the ground, start moving towards w4.

Try to avoid the Siren troops as much as possible in the process.

Although he couldn't see the overall situation, from Lin Shen's current perspective, it was not difficult to calculate a way to bypass it.

He did not take the route that would seem very safe to ordinary people, but instead chose to cross the paths that the Siren mobile troops needed to pass through.

"Why not go west?"

In the soul network, Nagato was very puzzled by Lin Shen's choice.

"The risk over there is obviously smaller, right?"

she asked.

"Yes, it is very small. Generally speaking, I will definitely go to the west and try to avoid the Siren's march route."

Lin Shen nodded.

"But if you can think of this, others can think of it too."

"……What's the meaning?"

"What it means is that it may not be as safe as it looks."

"Aren't there 100,000 defenders over there?"

"What if that's a hundred thousand enemies?"

"..."

Looking at Nagato's silence, Lin Shen laughed.

"When leading troops in battle, don't always focus on the situation on the battlefield. You should know that sometimes the sharpest knife is not the steel torrent of the Siren, but the venomous snake waiting for an opportunity behind you. You should understand all your enemies. While seeing the threats they bring, remember to also see the opportunities they bring. Well, in short, human internal fighting is an art, and you will slowly understand it in the future."

"..."
