I, Azure Commander!

York City took a look and saw a man dressed very elegantly, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and very elegantly, with a short girl by his side.

"Is this the commander from somewhere? I don't know where he got the information from, but he probably wants to salvage the ship."

As Gridley spoke, he walked forward, opened the door and said to him, "Mr. Commander, we already have a commander, please go back."

The man's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, but he was unwilling to go back like this. He was a student who had just graduated from the Naval Academy and had just become an official commander. Unfortunately, his luck was not very good. The second construction failed. He only had one ship girl and could not afford the cost of construction. He could only think about salvaging the ship.

He also discovered by chance that this family was most likely to be ship girls, and he had been observing them for a while. He had never seen anyone who looked like a commander coming in and out of here. He was basically certain that these people were free ship girls, so he specially bought gifts and visited them.

"Little girl, don't be so anxious. This is a little gift from me. There are many delicious cakes inside. Can you at least let me come in and sit for a while?"

"No need."

Gridley was too lazy to pay attention to him. Although she also liked desserts like pastries, she could ask Bumblebee to buy them for her if she wanted to eat them. Bumblebee would not miss such a legitimate opportunity to go out and play.

Anyway, they are not short of money. They think they can bribe her with a few pieces of cake? Just dream on!

After saying that, without caring about the man's reaction, he slammed the door shut, turned around and left.

The man was unwilling to give up. He wanted to knock on the door again with his eyes wide open, but suddenly a cold voice came from behind him, "Commander, don't you know that it is very rude to pester the Freedom Ship Girl?"

When the man turned around, he saw a ship girl in a gendarmerie uniform in front of him. He was immediately frightened, apologized, and turned around and ran away with his ship girl.

Gridley turned around and greeted her enthusiastically, "It's Sister Zhi!"

As he spoke, he opened the door.

"excuse me."

The tall pink-haired girl smiled cheerfully, "Long time no see, I came to see Sister York City for something."

Yorktown and her team naturally received many commissions from the Maritime Administration, so they are quite familiar with the Maritime Administration's military police captain Nachi.

"Isn't today a workday? How come you have time to come here?"

After all, they had cooperated many times in the past, so York City greeted him with a smile and exchanged a few words.

"It's work-related, actually."

Nazhi smiled bitterly and said, "Sister York City and I are acquainted with each other, so I will speak frankly. I came here today because our director wants to see you."

"Oh?"

York City raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, "The director is looking for me?"

This was truly an unexpected development.

Chapter 47: The Commander is protecting you!

"What does the director want to talk to me about?" Yorktown looked at Nachi in front of her with some surprise. Although the ship girls without a commander around them inevitably needed to contact the ship girls of the Maritime Bureau to eliminate many troubles in life, they did receive many commissions from the Maritime Bureau because of financial problems. However, Yorktown was a mature and steady ship girl after all. She had always kept a low profile and had not shown any strong strength in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In the impression of those ship girls in the Maritime Administration, they are probably ship girls with a training level of about 60 or 70. Even if there are some troubles that are difficult for the Maritime Administration to solve, they shouldn't go to them, right?

Or is it that the Maritime Administration has received too many commissions recently and cannot complete them in a short time?

But if this is the reason, Na Zhi can just come and talk to them himself. Why would the Maritime Bureau need to come in person?

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation... I'm just here to invite you. As for whether or not to go, it's up to Miss York City herself."

Nachi knew that he was not good at talking, so he just said nothing and let the director talk to them.

Of course, the most important thing is that just as Yorktown thought, in the eyes of the ship girls of the Maritime Administration, she is not a very powerful ship girl. Although her training level is acceptable and she is worth recruiting in the current situation, that's all. She is not an object that must be fought for.

Compared with them, the one who needs more headache is the one from the Naval Academy.

It is against regulations both morally and logically to let a student who is still studying at the Naval Academy participate in such a dangerous operation. However, under the current circumstances, it would be too much of a stretch for them to rely solely on the power of the Maritime Administration.

The situation now is no different from before. The Naval Academy has already started classes, and it is not the Sirens that are coming to the door. In the current critical situation with a powerful enemy, it is impossible for the instructors of the Naval Academy to give up teaching and come to help.

Moreover, this student is no ordinary student. It is no exaggeration to say that the power he holds is even stronger than the entire Lombard Maritime Bureau. The situation in York City is just a slight attempt. If it doesn’t work, then it’s fine. However, the so-called "student" is a key existence that can influence the entire battle situation. How to convince him is the real key.

"I see……"

Yorktown nodded. Before she knew the other party's specific purpose, she was not in a hurry to draw a conclusion. Everything would be decided after she met the Director of the Maritime Administration.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Nachi nodded with satisfaction. "The time to go to the Maritime Administration depends on your convenience. The director will be on duty in the next few days and can receive you at any time."

After she finished speaking, she politely declined York City's invitation to stay, waved her hand, and turned to leave.

There is more than one ship girl she needs to contact. In Lombard City, there are many ship girls living in seclusion here, including many free ship girls with high training levels. They are all forces worth fighting for.

After all, this incident was a risky move that had to be attempted.

The activeness of the Siren ship girls is like a time bomb, making people feel uneasy, not to mention that there are three of them!

That's right, after that obviously abnormal Siren attack, although they won with the help of Tianying and others, the ship girls of the Lombard City Maritime Bureau did not relax their vigilance. Instead, they stepped up their investigation into the cause of this sudden incident and eventually discovered an area with an extremely strong Siren scent in the center of a level 4 sea area near Lombard City. According to the information brought back by the reconnaissance ship girls, it was preliminarily determined that there were traces of at least three Siren ship girls.

They are the Tracker, the Leader and the Chess Player respectively. Their training levels are all unknown, but judging from the strong siren aura in the vicinity, those guys are definitely not easy to deal with.

In this way, the truth behind the sudden attack was revealed.

It was obvious that everything was the work of the three Siren ship girls, and it was they who were responsible for that obviously abnormal attack.

Compared with those mass-produced Siren ships, or the "deep-sea ship girls" controlled by Sirens, the real Siren ship girls are undoubtedly an existence of another dimension.

Even after a long period of fighting, their understanding of the Siren Ship Girls is still very limited. But what is certain is that each Siren Ship Girl possesses extremely powerful strength, so strong that it may not be possible to fight against a level 100 fully broken ship girl alone... no, it is almost impossible to deal with them.

Moreover, although they will sink as well, they do not seem to really die. Instead, they are resurrected through special methods. It is currently speculated that they may be resurrected by changing different carriers. Of course, this will take a certain amount of time.

The difficulty of the Siren Ship Girls is a headache for all the Ship Girls, let alone three of them, which would be a devastating disaster.

Although those Sirens don't seem to have any next move at the moment, it is too dangerous to allow three of them to stay in the nearby waters. No one knows how long they will lie dormant or what their purpose is. No one can guarantee that they will not start a bigger war again. If they are allowed to accumulate enough mass-produced ships, come back again, and personally participate in the battle, it will undoubtedly be a tough battle with unpredictable results.

Therefore, after repeated discussions, the Maritime Administration finally decided on a countermeasure - that is to eliminate the three Siren ship girls in advance.

This is by no means an easy matter. Although they can get some assistance from the Maritime Administration, the world is so big and it is not just their place where special situations occur. In addition, most of the combat forces are on the front line fighting against the Sirens and expanding the territory. The actual assistance that the headquarters can provide is limited, and they still have to rely mainly on themselves.

So, in the past few days they began to visit the ship girls living in seclusion in Lombard City and invite them to join the battle.

Having successfully completed the task, Nachi felt much more relaxed and immediately rushed to the next house.

On the way, she noticed that a lot of people had gathered in one place to watch, but because she was in a hurry to complete the task, she didn't pay much attention to it. She just thought it was a street performance. After taking a look, she turned around and left.

It was not until she walked several hundred meters that she suddenly realized that she seemed to have seen a very familiar figure...

"Commander, it's really the Commander!"

The cute blond child held onto his sleeve tightly, jumping up and down, his face full of surprise.

The other child with light purple hair was even more enthusiastic. He hugged his arms directly, his eyes full of tears: "Commander, I missed you so much!"

——Lin Xiao, who was shopping, was frightened by this sudden scene. It was not until he saw Bumblebee walking towards him with a smile on his face and Sheffield beside him also had a calm look on his face and did not have the slightest intention of stopping the two naughty kids that he understood what was going on.

"Miss Lexington, nice to see you again. When did you find the commander?"

Bumblebee was obviously surprised. He walked up to Lexington and greeted him, then focused all his attention on Lin Xiao.

Although it is not a very useful ship, it was released early enough and now has a full favorability at level 100.

"It's Bumblebee..."

Lin Xiao also had a deep impression of Bumblebee. On the one hand, she was an old ship girl who had been active since the server was launched and had a high degree of recognition. On the other hand, due to the relationship with Enterprise and Yorktown, this sister-in-law had benefited from it to some extent.

As for the other two children...

To be honest, I don’t have much impression of her. Although she is very cute, Lin Xiao can hardly recognize her.

There are so many destroyers, and there are many ship girls with various characteristics. It is really difficult to determine which ship girl it is based on appearance alone.

Fortunately, he had done his homework in advance, and Nengdai was still very thoughtful. After learning the news from Lexington, he immediately took Lin Xiao to review and revisited the characteristics of the Gridley sisters, so he could barely recognize them.

"Morrie...and Craven?"

After knowing that these were her own children, the already cute faces immediately had an extra layer of filter. Lin Xiao touched the heads of the two children, one in each hand, half squatted down, and hugged them affectionately.

"I'm sorry to have made you worried... For some reason, the commander really couldn't spare the time."

His apology and gentle attitude stunned Mori and Craven, including Bumblebee, who had just met him, and looked at the commander in front of him with astonishment.

From my impression, the commander does seem to like children, but... to be more precise, he likes those rare, highly adorable, and powerful children.

Typical representatives include Rafi, Tashkent, Vicious, etc., but as for the other children, they feel quite ordinary.

Not to say he hated them, but his attitude was definitely cold. He seldom went to see them, and even if he did, he would often not even say hello. He would just take a quick look and go look for the favored children, leaving those poor little creatures who were just delighted to see the commander and wanted to say hello without even having the chance to say a word.

But, such a commander is now so nice to Mori and Craven?

Bumblebee was incredulous.

Although Mori has purple skin, she has always been ignored because she is not powerful or cute enough. Craven has white skin, blue sky and white clouds, and is the ship girl that the commander least wants to see.

Could it be possible that two unknown people in the port area could receive such care from the commander one day?

"Bumblebee, the commander seems to have changed a lot during the time he was missing..."

Lexington, who was standing by, saw the confusion in her heart and immediately explained.

In fact, she herself is still immersed in surprise about this. After all, she has just returned to the port for one day. When she saw the commander taking such meticulous care of those not-so-powerful children, she was as surprised as Bumblebee is now.

"Is that so?"

Bumblebee scratched her head in confusion. It seemed to be true. The commander was also very kind when he spoke to her just now.

Even if he wasn't so cold in the past, he still seemed a bit lazy...

If that's the case, that's really good news.

"Oh, Commander! Sister York and the others..."

Bumblebee was still startled. When he suddenly thought of this, he jumped up excitedly.

I was originally planning to go out and play, to avoid York City sister's nagging, but I ended up running into the Commander. What's the point of playing? Of course I'll take her home clean first!

"I know, Bumblebee, don't get excited..."

There were already quite a few onlookers gathered around, and Bumblebee's shout attracted even more people. Lin Xiao could only quickly press down his palm to signal her to be quiet.

Bumblebee, who has always been independent, did not hesitate at all. He covered his mouth obediently, shrank his neck and kept silent.

Mori and Craven, who had lived together for a long time, had never seen such a well-behaved Bumblebee before. They looked at their commander with a bit of surprise, and then turned to admiration.

"In fact, the commander came here just for this matter. After I told him yesterday that you were in Lombard City, he rushed here desperately early this morning. As a result, he couldn't find your house, so he has been wandering around for a long time."

Bumblebee was shocked again. If it were the ruthless commander in the past, he would never dare to think of such a thing.

Newcomers who have just joined the port must immediately take on commissions. No matter how difficult and fierce the battle is, only two formations of ship girls will be allowed to attack, simply to avoid wasting resources.

He wasn't so humane before...

Bumblebee was so surprised that he panicked. He said in a panic, "How...how could this happen? You actually made the Commander wait here for so long. I will take you back to find Sister Yorktown now!"

"So, calm down, Bumblebee."

Lin Xiao was really helpless, "Am I that scary? Don't be anxious or nervous. We haven't waited that long. Just walk over slowly."

As he spoke, he patted the girl's cowboy hat comfortingly.

"Although I also want to meet York City and the others as soon as possible, now that I have found you and know your address, there is no need to rush. Compared to this, Mori and Craven, do you want to eat anything?"

They are now in a square in the community, where there are many delicious foods.

"Is it okay? But Sister York City doesn't allow us to eat these snacks..."

"It's okay, the commander has you covered. You can eat whatever you want, the commander will buy it for you."

Hearing this, Mori's eyes suddenly lit up. She had always wanted to eat the delicious food in the square, but Sister York City would never let her, saying that children should not eat so many snacks, which was a waste of money and bad for the body. Although Sister Bumblebee supported them, she had no money. Even if she did, she would be scolded by Sister York City if she bought some. But now that the Commander was here, she was not afraid anymore.

Would Sister York dare to scold the Commander? Of course she absolutely wouldn't dare to do that. She was still looking forward to getting a ring from the Commander all day long...

Even children like them could see how intense his thoughts were.

PS: I'm in a really bad state today. I have one day of classes, and there won't be so many classes tomorrow. I'll update more tomorrow. If I don't update tomorrow, I'll rush forward in women's clothing and do a handstand.

Chapter 48: Despicable Old Buddy

With the commander's bold words, the little lolis naturally no longer hesitated, and immediately took Lin Xiao's hand and walked towards the stalls and shops, buying a lot of snacks. It is worth mentioning that little Jiajia actually mixed in with a lot of delicious food in his hands.

Xiao Jiajia has a child's body but an adult's heart. Sometimes he is an adult and sometimes he pretends to be an innocent child. He is such a cunning guy.

Bumblebee was laughing happily. She had also been severely punished by the York City Management Bureau and seemed to be very happy to see her sister being humiliated. When the children took these things back, how wonderful would her sister's expression be?

Of course, the impact of such a small matter is far less than that of the commander's return, which is an earth-shaking event for them, the ship girls.

The shopping was almost done, and Lin Xiao also wanted to quickly meet those ship girls he hadn't met yet. After buying things for the children, he signaled Bumblebee to lead the way towards their current residence.

York City had just seen off the unexpected guests and was still thinking about the invitation from the Maritime Director. She frowned and asked, "Haven't Bumblebee and the others come back yet?"

"Not yet."
