Seeing that Xia Bai was not moved by any persuasion, New Jersey evaded the question and thought to himself what Hu Teng was up to, as this was not part of the plan.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound was heard in the elevator, causing the two of them to look up.
"What's going on?"
"I think it sounded like a cable breaking..."
Before he finished speaking, the elevator suddenly began to fall, and an intense feeling of weightlessness came over both of them, and then it landed straight into the underground parking lot at lightning speed, making a loud noise.
Such a shock made Belfast, who was making tea for Elizabeth, look froze. What happened? Essex and Ticonderoga called?
Putting down the tea set in his hand, Belfa bowed to Elizabeth and Enterprise and smiled apologetically: "Excuse me..."
Then he turned and left the meeting room, rushing towards the place where the loud noise came from.
Soon, Belfast arrived at the underground parking lot, glanced at the two people in the elevator, and asked with a smile: "Why are the master and Miss New Jersey here? Can you tell Belfast what happened?"
Pushing away New Jersey who was pressing on him, Xia Bai stood up, dusted off the dust, and said angrily, "It was New Jersey again. She insisted on playing some wall-dong in the elevator and broke it down."
He was now extremely grateful that he was not an ordinary human being. After falling from such a height, he only felt a little numb. If it were an ordinary person, he would have turned into a pool of meat paste, with red and white scattered everywhere.
"Well... I didn't mean to do that. Who knew the elevator was so fragile." New Jersey got up from the ground, looking very aggrieved.
Covering his chest, New Jersey said pitifully to Befa: "I won't have to pay for this, will I?"
"Of course not. We, the royal family, have reserved the hotel. Any losses will naturally be borne by the royal family. Miss New Jersey was frightened by the elevator failure. Please forgive us for the poor hospitality."
With a formal smile, Befa bowed slightly to express his apology, then walked to Xia Bai, took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust off his face.
Look at what the royal head maid means. She took the compensation on herself to ease New Jersey's embarrassment, and then bluntly said that it was an elevator failure and had nothing to do with New Jersey, which was in stark contrast to what Xia Bai said.
If Xia Bai had this much emotional intelligence and speaking skills, not to mention Sakura Empire, the entire Azur Lane would be his. Hu Teng would never go to Iron Blood first and would have followed him back to Sakura Empire obediently.
"Master, are you not injured? Will you feel uncomfortable after falling from such a height?"
While carefully wiping the dust off Xia Bai's face, Beifa looked into his eyes worriedly.
"Don't underestimate me. There's a big hole in my chest..." After hearing what Befa said, Xia Bai instinctively boasted about his glorious deeds, but when he noticed the worry on the other's face, he stopped.
"I'm fine, I just feel a little numb... I'm sorry for making you worry."
Chapter 185: Powerful Alliance
Xia Bai had always been thinking about what he would do when faced with other people's worries when he was injured. With his fighting style, it was impossible for him not to be injured on the battlefield, and he didn't want to see the ship girls crying, because it would make him feel distressed.
So every time he was injured, Xia Bai would pretend that nothing mattered. After all, his recovery ability was strong enough. Only in this way, the ship girls would not worry or cry about his injuries.
But after seeing the expression on Belfast's face today, the softest part of Xia Bai's heart seemed to be touched, so he no longer pretended to be indifferent. Instead, he apologized to the other party and secretly regretted his previous actions.
All in all, only Xia Bai himself knew the regret involved. After Belfast wrote "Under maintenance, please do not approach" with a black marker on the broken elevator, the three of them took another elevator.
Fortunately, New Jersey did not play any wall-dong tricks this time, but just followed Xia Bai and Belfast obediently and successfully reached the top floor residential area.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, Yan Zhan, who had a serious expression, came up to him and said anxiously, "Xia Bai, go and persuade them. Her Majesty the Queen is angry with the Enterprise."
What followed was a fierce quarrel. Even from a distance, Xia Bai could clearly hear that they were talking about hunting down Essex.
Patting his chest, Xia Bai said confidently: "Leave it to me, I will throw the company out right now."
Dare to bully Elizabeth? Don't worry about your life. I brought your company here for the sake of St. Louis. Don't think you are so important.
When his eyes met War-weary's, everything was clear. Xia Bai rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush into the conference room to teach the company a lesson.
Fortunately, Belfast was quick to stop him when he took just a few steps. He said helplessly, "Master, please don't jump to conclusions. We don't know why Miss Enterprise and Her Majesty the Queen are arguing. If you rush in like this, it will complicate what should have been a simple matter."
This seems to make sense, but Xia Bai said as a matter of course: "I heard it all. Enterprise is questioning why Elizabeth is chasing Essex, but Elizabeth is the one who knows nothing about this matter."
"If you ask me, this is all White Eagle Enterprises can do. We dare not question you and can only bully Elizabeth."
"Befa, let her go first. I'll go in and give her a good beating to vent Elizabeth's anger."
Grabbing Xia Bai's sleeve tightly, Befa shook his head and advised: "It is our royal family that is at fault in hunting down Essex. It is normal for the enterprise to be emotional."
"And I heard that the company has not been able to contact Essex so far..."
Now that I think about it, Ajax was too extreme at the time. This kind of thing should have been judged after Xia Bai arrived in New York City and had Akashi examine his body. How could he incite others to hunt him down with just a wave of his hand?
Of course, the blame is not all on Ajax. Belfast also admitted that she did not think so much at the time, and after learning that Xia Bai would die, she was the most ruthless one.
Even Kaohsiung and Kewei were only planning to teach Essex a lesson, while Befa was trying to kill the opponent.
The reason why Enterprise can't contact Essex now is because she broke the communication ring of the White Eagle trio as soon as they met, avoiding calling for reinforcements.
If Guanghui hadn't been secretly holding him back, Essex would have been killed yesterday morning.
After listening to Belfast's words, Xia Bai inexplicably thought of a possibility, and asked cautiously: "Tell me the truth, have you killed Essex?"
"If so, then we can't hide it from the Enterprise... How about we take this opportunity to kill her, and then blame it on the military brass, saying that they colluded with Supreme Supreme to do it?"
"I'm sure Essex isn't dead, but...sigh."
It is not known whether Befa's sigh was due to the difficulty of Essex's current situation or his emotion about Xia Bai's train of thought.
It's only the master who could think of destroying the enterprise, and the same goes for Her Majesty the Queen. I just walked away for a while and then I started quarreling with them. Being a head maid is really tiring.
Just when Befa was having a headache about the two people he was serving, the elevator door opened and Ajax walked out arrogantly. After seeing Xia Bai, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"What a coincidence, Piggy is also going to deal with the enterprise... Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in and kill her right now."
"You take the lead, and I'll wait for the right opportunity to strike. I'll definitely make the company die clearly."
Ajax said this in a joking tone, but Xia Bai took it seriously. He thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Do we really want to kill Enterprise? Will this have any impact on Takors? After all, she is the hero of White Eagle... It hurts."
Standing on tiptoe, Ajax flicked Xia Bai's forehead and said with a sweet smile, "Of course it's fake. You're such a stupid pig. You just believe whatever others say."
"I just came to tell Enterprise about the whereabouts of Essex, who she cares about, so that she won't always think that we have killed someone."
Speaking of the White Eagle ship girl, Ajax had a disdainful expression on her face, as if she was particularly hostile to the White Eagle.
"You don't have to go in, little pig. Just wait here for me. I have something to say to you later."
Coincidentally, Xia Bai also wanted to ask the other party where the information about Plan V was obtained and what else was contained in it, so he nodded and watched Ajax enter the conference room at the deepest part of the corridor.
"It seems we have to wait for a while. I don't know when they can solve it." Shrugging, Xia Bai turned to look at New Jersey as if he remembered something.
"I almost forgot about it because I was interrupted. Didn't New Jersey want to talk to me just now?"
"Me?" As if he had not expected Xia Bai to ask him at this time, New Jersey looked up and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I came to Takors to borrow money from Hu Teng and to investigate White Eagle. After all, I have been wandering for so long, it's time to find a home."
"But they caused so much trouble that I am a little unhappy. Xia Bai, you just happened to be here, so I want to ask if you are still short of people in the Sakura Empire? How about adding a battleship from Country A to me?"
New Jersey's words stunned Befa and War-weary, who were listening attentively to gossip. If what Miss Rabbit said were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Anyone who knows a little about ship girls knows that New Jersey is the strongest ship girl in the world, no doubt about it. Even before Xia Bai possessed the God of Radiance and Tsukuyomi, she firmly occupied the world's number one seat.
The world's strongest man joined Sakura Empire, which was undoubtedly a big news, but Belfa and War-weary both saw the hidden meaning from it.
Under the overwhelming pressure, New Jersey felt that he was not capable enough and urgently needed a companion to share the pressure...
Chapter 186 A New Theory
As one of the top fighters in the Royal Family, Warspite once fought against New Jersey, and it can be said that the opponent's powerful strength has been deeply engraved in her heart.
But even that New Jersey began to seek companions after fighting with the Supreme, which only shows that the Supreme series of weapons are no longer within the reach of ordinary people.
In addition to learning from New Jersey how powerful the new enemy is, Warspite also obtained a second hidden piece of information.
It is known that the Tsukuyomi performed by Xia Bai and Kaga together has the power to destroy the world. How terrifying would it be if New Jersey established a spiritual link with Xia Bai?
Just thinking about the power of that mecha made Yan Zhan's breathing quicken. She waved her hands and said anxiously, "Xia Bai, please agree to it. What are you still hesitating about?"
"With New Jersey's power, the mecha she and you deployed is definitely far superior to Barbatos and Cabernet. If you meet Supreme again, you will definitely be able to defeat it easily."
The gentle eyes dimmed, and War-weary's words seemed to remind Befa of Xia Bai's current physical condition.
Because of the powerful strength, everyone has placed all their hopes on the master. This is really... too sad.
With a sad expression, Befa said meaningfully: "Whether to accept Miss New Jersey is the master's own business. As the royal family, we have no right to interfere."
The meaning of her words was very clear, which was to tell Yan Zhan not to talk too much. If Xia Baizhen established a mental link with New Jersey, given his physical condition, he would probably die before the mecha could be deployed.
As if realizing that he was a little impatient, War-weary scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Hehehe, I just want to see what the New Jersey mecha looks like. I definitely don't mean to make the decision for Xia Bai."
"It's okay, I don't care about those, and I'm also very interested in the power of New Jersey..." With a hearty smile on his face, Xia Bai gave a thumbs up.
"Of course Sakura Empire has sent someone. If you are really sure about New Jersey, you are always welcome to join us."
If she wanted to join the Sakura Empire, she didn't need to make any plans. Xia Bai wasn't a retard, so how could she reject the strongest ship girl? New Jersey just didn't have a clear understanding of her own appeal.
Not to mention that Xia Bai had long coveted New Jersey's strength. If the other party had not been so elusive and had never thought of joining the garrison, he would have taken the initiative to attack long ago.
Now that he heard that the other party was willing to join, he immediately nodded in agreement, as if he was afraid that New Jersey would go back on his word again.
"Hehe~ I knew you wouldn't refuse... Let's do it again."
With joy on his face, New Jersey took a half step back, his body glowing, and he returned to his usual outfit of white windbreaker and black stockings. He put his hands on his waist and revealed an extremely confident expression.
"Iowa-class battleship - New Jersey, the strongest and largest Black Dragon, let the commander witness the power I possess with his own eyes."
For some reason, Xia Bai suddenly remembered the scene of his first meeting with New Jersey. Due to the appearance of Tianpalans, he, Kewei and Guanghui had no chance of survival.
And when the situation was most dangerous, the breath of flame that descended from the sky repelled Tempalans and dispelled despair. At that time, New Jersey was just like he is now, with a confident smile on his face.
Obviously not much time had passed, only half a year at most, but looking at New Jersey in front of him, Xia Bai felt as if he was in another world.
"Well, welcome aboard, New Jersey."
As the two hands were clasped together, the two strongest men in the world joined together, completely announcing that Sakura Empire would be the only dominant power in the future.
Only two royal ship girls were present to witness this major decision that would affect the future changes of the world. Belfa didn't feel anything, but War-weary felt inexplicably emotional.
On the one hand, this petite battleship with many merits was happy for her good friend Xia Bai, but on the other hand, she also felt a little regretful for what she had said before.
Now she doesn't want to play anymore, so can she return the Gundam to the Royal Family?
However, this regretful feeling did not last long. The cheerful War-weary immediately stopped thinking about it. She pulled Xia Bai's arm and shook it, saying expectantly: "Then let's find an open space and try it out. I want to see the new Gundam!"
"That's what I thought. Although there's no battle right now, it's nice to see what our combined mechas will look like."
With a light in his eyes, New Jersey hugged Xia Bai's other arm and began to shake it: "Commander, Commander, let's try it together!"
"Well, actually I want to tell you that the strength of the mecha is probably not directly proportional to the strength of the ship girl. Although the Formidable is an aircraft carrier, the Pale Nightmare may not be a match for the Fate Wolf."
"And after activating the Seven Dwarfs System, Shokaku's Innocence is not necessarily weaker than Tsukuyomi. It may even be stronger in terms of firepower."
"The Shining God in Sheffield is even more outrageous. War-weary, you should know the God Gundam..."
Before Xia Bai finished speaking, Yan Zhan excitedly answered: "Of course I know, that is the idealistic Super Gundam."
Speaking of Gundam, she was no longer sleepy. She demonstrated the moves of the Stone Breaking Fist and shouted something like "the east will be dyed red with blood". Combined with War-Yan's petite figure, Xia Bai was really amused.
"That's right. The Shining God is similar to the God Gundam, and is even more powerful when it is fully powered. This is why it is not proportional... Considering some strange factors, I guess it has something to do with the characteristics of the ship girl."
"So now I can be sure that if I establish a mental link with Unicorn, a mecha similar to Shengunmon will be deployed."
To be honest, Xia Bai has never figured out what his abilities are, and what defines the strength of a mecha. The theory that the stronger the ship girl, the stronger the mecha is wrong, and the appearance of the God of Glory proves this.
Comparing with the future observed by Shinano, Xia Bai concluded that the single-player linked mecha is related to the characteristics and personality of the ship girl herself, while the multiple links are more like drawing cards in a mobile game. As for how the drawing method is done, let's not talk about it for now.
Anyway, after hearing what Xia Bai said, Yan Zhan looked up and down at New Jersey, who didn't understand anything, and then hesitated for a long time and asked, "New Jersey's ship motto is 'Firepower for Freedom', right?"
"Yes, this is the inscription of the battleship New Jersey in history."
After getting his own affirmation, War-weary immediately used a new theory to search for mechas related to him in his head, and then looked at New Jersey with a bit of pity in his eyes.
If it really is that popular Gundam, New Jersey would definitely be disappointed. After all, the world's strongest ship girl would actually deploy such a weak mecha.
Chapter 187 In order to stop you from crying
"According to your new theory, Xia Bai, it is freedom..."
"Well, New Jersey is probably free."
When he found that the two were discussing the inexplicable "freedom" and looking at him with pity, New Jersey felt confused and a chill at the same time.
These two people are definitely persecuting themselves!
She hugged Xia Bai's arm tightly and said in a coquettish tone: "Don't leave the rabbit out~ I haven't seen Gundam, tell me what freedom is."
"Then New Jersey should take a look. It's not too late to use the communication ring to make up for it starting today."
Without answering the question "What is freedom", Xia Bai only advised New Jersey to start catching up on anime. After all, a lot of the knowledge cannot be understood by outsiders, and such things are too cruel to the arrogant New Jersey.
