The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

Although Falcon Eagle kept circling around Qifeng and begging him repeatedly, the latter remained indifferent.

Just kidding, I've seen people who like to commit suicide, but I've never seen anyone who likes to commit suicide so much.

Although Lin Shen puts up a cold image, for some reason there are always people who like to rush against him, as if they are looking for excitement.

This psychological trend is difficult to understand.

It’s okay for the Falcon on our side, but there seems to be such a person in the White Eagle next door.

I heard that the action has already started.

152. Double-edged sword

"The Lord is really strict with those children."

After Lin Shen returned to his office, he heard Tiancheng say this.

Tiancheng was full of emotion and did not raise any objections.

"Of course it should be stricter."

The anger on Lin Shen's face was gone, and he returned to his calm state.

Facing Tiancheng, he didn't need to deliberately put on any expression, and there should be no misunderstanding, ambiguity, or barriers between them.

Because Amagi is a secretary ship.

Lin Shen has already handed over too many things to Tiancheng and Zhenhai.

For him, this has reached the point of 'knowing everything about someone'.

But even so...

After all, Amagi was just a later joiner.

I have never experienced such an extremely dangerous battle before.

It is hard to imagine it if you have not experienced it but just listen to the description.

"You don't know how dangerous the enemies they will face are... If they are not careful, they will die on the battlefield. Given the difficulty of the enemy, there is zero room for error for us."

"Even with your strength, is it enough to be called 'dangerous abnormality'?"

"That's right. Even with my strength, facing those things is like walking a tightrope on a cliff... We have no chance of making mistakes."

In the depths of Lin Shen's mind, the words that Siren said to him at that time kept reappearing.

coastal……

Lin Shen had no idea about the situation there at the moment.

No level of vigilance can be too high.

"But, the Lord doesn't intend to bring the Lookouts to the front line, right?"

"...Yes, I didn't."

"In that case, it's obvious that [Akamaki] hasn't kept up with the amount of training?"

"Um……"

Lin Shen opened his mouth and was about to continue the conversation when he saw the office door open after being knocked gently.

He didn't even wait for anyone in the house to agree.

At present, there is only one person who can do this, or has this authority.

Sheffield.

She walked over with her doll-like delicate yet expressionless face and poured Lin Shen a cup of black tea with smooth movements.

The aroma of tea overflows.

"... Sheffield, there's none for me?"

Amagi raised his eyes and looked at Sheffield and asked.

"You are not one of the people I serve, Miss Secretary-Ship."

“That’s really too much.”

"The sun in the sky cannot split into two, so the maid can only have one master."

"So as a guest, there's no share for me?"

"...Tsk."

Sheffield showed a subtle displeasure for half a second, then turned around and prepared a cup for Amagi, who was smiling.

"...?"

Lin Shen felt that the atmosphere between them seemed a little subtle.

But I didn't think much about it because there was no need.

Ever since I started getting busy, the flow of time seems to have been accelerated.

Lin Shen gradually stopped paying attention to many things.

This is one of the reasons for selecting a camp leader.

He just needs to connect with key people.

other people……

Lin Shen didn't have the energy to take care of them one by one, or rather, there was no need to do so.

——Of course, there’s no need to deliberately bring it up and have a good “heart-to-heart talk”.

On the surface, it is almost equivalent to "equal treatment" and they are all on the same level.

Because of the special examples of Tiancheng and Zhenhai, everyone else seems "unknown".

In fact, Lin Shen has a personal file for everyone in his mind.

It's just that no one else knows.

Of course, there is no need to let them know.

Tasting the black tea carefully prepared by the sharp-tongued maid, Lin Shen continued with the previous topic.

"The current training level of the average person in the Red Curtain has reached level 7, reaching the level of a regular army. To continue to advance, the time and energy required will increase exponentially, so it is temporarily put on hold. As for the Lookouts, I only have time now to personally supervise their training - after we leave for Area W, I will not have this time. But the Red Curtain is different. The opportunities left for the Red Curtain to practice in actual combat will only increase, not decrease."

"I see……"

"According to the current distribution ratio of the Sirens' forces, the closer to the coastal areas, the more forces there are, and the stronger the elites are. Therefore, the combat capability of the Sirens in Area W7 is more than ten times, or even dozens of times, that of the wilderness behind us. [Red Curtain] has never lacked strong enough opponents, but [Lookout]. If they don't lay a solid enough foundation now, if..."

"……if?"

"..."

Lin Shen paused, then continued.

"If Red Curtain is defeated, I don't think the Sirens will stop at W7. Although the Sirens have rarely attacked the human safety zone in recent years, we can't pin all our hopes on the Sirens' mercy. What's more, I want to take Red Curtain to slap them in the face and test their bottom line. I can't guarantee that if something bad happens over there, the Sirens will not launch another wave of all-out offensive war frenzy."

"..."

If this were to happen, it would be terrible on all sides.

Tiancheng thought of the serious consequences in an instant.

"In such an extremely bad situation, if the [Blue Armed Forces] and [Lookouts] don't have a solid enough foundation and strength, they will die miserably. Ah, it's not to say that there will be heavy losses, but if they can't stand on their own, they will have to rely on others. Do you think this is a good choice?"

"Obviously not."

"That's right. Being independent is the best solution. If you don't want everything you have now - a normal life - to be wiped out like a dream, then you should train hard and gain enough strength -"

Lin Shen glanced at Sheffield, who had no intention of leaving.

Speak directly to her.

"As long as you are strong enough, even exile in the wilderness can be turned into a picnic in the wilderness. As long as you are strong enough, the bad external environment and the whole world will give in to you - just tell them this."

"……Yes."

It seems that he didn't hide that little thought.

But Sheffield had no intention of hiding it.

She already knew how smart, perceptive, strong and reliable her master was.

Well, the conclusion is.

If such a person becomes the master that he serves.

Not so bad then.

He deserves it.

But Sheffield certainly never said such words.

"last question--"

Tiancheng spoke after the room became quiet again.

"My Lord, what kind of unit do you plan to make the Lookouts into?"

"Special forces, the elite among the elite."

Lin Shen knew that Tiancheng was not asking for a vague answer, so he gave a clear and concise reply.

"An excellent assassin, whose mere existence can pose a serious threat to the top leaders of various countries. I don't know how well the top clones of various countries are trained, but no matter how strong the clones are, it is always better to give power to mutants. I want to train a killer team that is strong enough, 'free' enough, and intimidating enough."

"Now the [Blue Armed Forces] have begun to perform some of these functions."

"But the [Blue Armor] is in the open and under control, while the [Lookout] will only stay in the shadows and is out of control - even I cannot exert any extra control over it, just like the [Torch], but it is completely different."

[Green Armed Forces] are also the troops under Lin Shen's command, and this is something that is open to the public.

But [Lookout]...because there is only an equal contract, it is difficult to check.

Lin Shen later planned not to register at all and just roam around the world.

Make it completely a hidden piece that no one can detect clearly.

It is like an invisible sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all nations.

Tiancheng showed a thoughtful look, and after a while he said: "A double-edged sword hurts others and yourself. You can throw it away, but it may also be picked up by others."

"..." Lin Shen's mouth curled up, revealing a faint smile. "What I want is a double-edged sword. If they have their own ideas and plan to be independent one day in the future, then they can be independent. They will not stand on the side of humans because they have been hurt. At most, they will be neutral or hostile to me. At the cost of the latter, it is not bad to have one more neutral sword of Damocles in this world. Isn't it?"

"..."

Every time Tiancheng felt that he understood Lin Shen well enough, he would always tell her in another way that it was not enough.

Even though I already knew all of Lin Shen's thoughts, his true goals, his way of thinking and his logic.

But Tiancheng would still be repeatedly shocked by the means Lin Shen used to achieve his goals.

This includes both planning for the distant future and idealistic fantasies about the even more distant future.

He is a complex person with idealism and realism entangled in him.

It was so complicated that Amagi had the illusion that he could never fully understand it.

But... no matter what, Tiancheng is sure of at least one thing.

In order to achieve the ultimate goal he mentioned, Lin Shen would do anything.

Will stop at nothing.

Even if the price includes myself.

He won't be shaken in the slightest.

Even if you have to keep walking on a dangerous tightrope.

When people try their best to this extent, success or failure is no longer important.

"...The Lord really spares no effort."

After a long time, Tiancheng said quietly that there was no village in front and no shop behind.

Then I started to deal with daily affairs.

Sheffield narrowed his eyes and could feel that Amagi was avoiding him without giving any further explanation.
