How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

This was not his home ground and he was a guest, so it was understandable that Marco Polo was a little quiet.

But when she heard the three words "chief flagship", she couldn't help but sneered with disdain on her face.

It was just such a trivial action that made the two enthusiastic people discover her existence and move forward.

"Marco Polo? Why are you here?"

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye? If your purpose was to arrive earlier, you should at least tell us in advance."

"What does it matter if he left without a word?"

Questions were raised one after another, and judging from Veneto's instantly tense expression, this must not be a peaceful night for everyone in Sardinia.

To be fair, Marco Polo did not do a very good job in this regard.

After a whole night of calming down, she, the person involved, has realized her mistake.

It's a pity that over a long period of time, the two sides had accumulated too much unhappiness, and Marco Polo, who should have stood at attention and taken a beating, didn't want to give up and habitually argued a few words.

"What's the point of telling you? Don't you forget everything as soon as you take a bath?"

"Even if I find you, it would just be a waste of words."

"You...Marco Polo, how can you say that?!" Veneto was so angry that he was dizzy, but there was still an obvious expression of surprise on his face.

Based on Marco Polo's character and the conflict between the two parties, she knew that there was no point in continuing the conversation.

However, she couldn't resist the rage, and this feeling of being ignored was hard for her to let go.

As a result, the quarrel escalated, and the turmoil continued to expand, and even Littorio and Zhou Xuan joined in.

"We are all companions. You don't have to be so wary of us, Marco Polo."

"After we got the news that you were missing, we immediately started searching. We searched almost every area of ​​the surrounding sea within a radius of 100 miles, but we couldn't find you anywhere. We didn't return until daybreak."

Compared to Veneto, Littorio was calmer and she spoke truthfully about the knot between them.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Xuan also assisted in time. He flashed between the two people and used his hands to separate the distance between them on the left and right.

It was like a mountain blocking their way. No matter how angry they were, they couldn't show it at the moment.

They were not the kind of people who were aggressive by nature. It was like a quarrel between children. When Veneto gave up, Marco Polo also stopped quarreling.

It's just that the incident was caused by her. In addition to stopping the quarrel, Zhou Xuan felt that Marco Polo needed to take the initiative to do something else to repair the relationship between the two parties.

"Let's shake hands and make peace in the end, Marco Polo. This way, we can put this matter behind us, for both you and her."

Marco Polo was actually a very resilient person. In addition to the famous saying that those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters, he also knew that a little impatience will ruin great plans.

Anyway, he is trying to gain Zhou Xuan's support to help him become the flagship of the Sardinian Empire, so what's wrong with obeying his orders now?

So she put away her reluctance, put on an indifferent and cold look and came in front of Veneto.

He stretched out his hand and waved it in the air.

When Veneto showed a contrasting expression of being flattered due to his surprise, she showed a smug expression on her face and apologized in a very perfunctory manner.

"I'm sorry, Veneto. I was inconsiderate and made you worry. I won't do that again next time."

"No...it's okay. I have never blamed you. It's the best thing that you can figure it out and understand our painstaking efforts."

Compared to Veneto's simplicity, Littorio's expression is much more intriguing.

She took advantage of the moment when the two men were shaking hands and making peace, took a step forward, came to Zhou Xuan, and whispered in his ear.

"As expected, Commander, you... do have the potential to be as brilliant as me~"

"This further proves the irreplaceable nature of our connection. Wait, Commander. Littorio's fight has just begun~"

Chapter 208: As long as Zhou Xuan is taken down, everything will be hopeful

Although Marco Polo and others temporarily made peace with the intervention of Zhou Xuan, the competitive relationship between them still existed as time went by.

It just so happened that the Sardinian camp was incorporated into the alliance and joined Zhou Xuan's port area, and power needed to be redistributed.

Therefore, as the air was filled with smoke, everyone focused their attention on a new round of competition and waited for an opportunity to act together.

On this morning, Zhou Xuan's command room was particularly lively.

The former first, second and third in command of the Sardinian Empire gathered together, all vying for his approval, so that they could become the chief flagship and hold great power.

"Elizabeth has been busy preparing for the migration in recent days and has a busy schedule."

"If you have any ideas, please tell me first. I can make corresponding arrangements first and then let me know when she arrives."

Zhou Xuan stated the facts, but his words had different meanings to everyone.

The right to execute first and report later is extremely powerful. Even a proud person like Elizabeth condones and allows such behavior.

This further demonstrates Zhou Xuan's uniqueness in their lives, and also proves that their choice to come here was absolutely correct.

Thinking of this, Littorio and Veneto exchanged glances and said.

"Commander, we will strictly follow the requirements of the joint plan and lead the Sardinian fleet to merge into your port area."

“However, the commander is very busy and does not have the time and energy to take care of all the factions at the same time.

"So I suggest that in terms of division of labor and management, each camp still needs a person with outstanding ability and sufficient reputation to be responsible for a series of daily deployment tasks."

"This way we can share the burden for you and relieve your stress."

After just a few meetings, Littorio left a deep impression on Zhou Xuan.

Among them, he is definitely romantic and dashing.

Just when they first met, Zhou Xuan, who could be considered a veteran, was so excited by her that for a moment it seemed as if he had returned to the youthful years when they first met.

Now, when it came to business, he explained all the pros and cons and even the best solution in great detail, with a stern look on his face, without any trace of frivolity on his face.

It's a very convincing aspect, but the setup she used for the opening was too long.

Analyzing sentence by sentence, there was a feeling that the real purpose was revealed, and then Marco Polo, who had reacted quickly, spoke first.

"Do you still need to consider it? Commander, the best candidate must be me."

Although in the end I backed down because of my shyness and nothing was done.

But Marco Polo felt that she had already won too much over the two of them just by virtue of the deep friendship they had that night.

Therefore, without waiting for Zhou Xuan's answer, she grinned with disdain and looked at Littorio repeatedly.

He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything that could not be hidden.

Being naturally confident, Littorio would naturally ignore Marco Polo's childish provocation. Her eyes were always on Zhou Xuan, calm and generous.

"Commander, I think you should think carefully about the selection of candidates."

"Choosing a capable person can help you solve your problems better. On the contrary, you will be left with a pile of messes."

"I would like to recommend my sister Veneto to you. In the past ten years, she has been in charge of all matters in the Sardinian Empire. Her abilities are obvious to all."

"I believe that with my help, no matter what difficulties we face, we will be able to overcome them."

In other words, the tone of power remains the same even though the location has changed.

In other words, under her open and secret ridicule, he had quietly become the representative of the mediocre people. How could Marco Polo agree to this!

"Outstanding ability? Do you mean the bathing policy advocated by Veneto, or the romantic offensive that you are proud of?"

"Come on, if the Sardinian Empire really falls into your hands, it will be the end of us."

"Commander, I strongly oppose Littorio's request."

"Oh, since you want to object, then I will also oppose Marco Polo's arrogance. You know, she can't even organize a dinner party."

With Marco Polo taking the initiative, the meeting, which was originally about personnel appointments and dismissals, turned into a complaining session where everyone exposed each other's secrets.

It even escalated, and with Littorio taking the lead, the transition became an unfair deal.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Littorio walked forward, sat down from the side, and leaned on Zhou Xuan's left shoulder, with the soft breeze blowing past his ears one after another.

"I have already said everything I should say about the reasons for the final selection. If the commander wants, how about some things I shouldn't say next?"

Having become the target of public criticism, Zhou Xuan knew that the best option at this moment was not to express any opinion.

But Littorio was in the right position, and again and again, the wind carrying the woman's fragrance blew into his ears, which made his heart flutter. He couldn't help but nodded subconsciously.

Seeing Zhou Xuan's reaction, Littorio couldn't help but laugh. She felt that it was a sure thing, so she went straight to the point and continued.

"If you feel embarrassed, why not put this matter aside and have dinner with me tonight."

"When that time comes, we will have enough time to have a good talk."

Just as they claimed, they were all old foxes in the political arena. Marco Polo naturally understood the profound meaning of Littorio and knew how to play to his own strengths.

In an eye for an eye, Marco Polo moved closer.

The waves were surging, and because of the girl's generous embrace, the pair of proud jade balls were concentrated on Zhou Xuan's right hand side.

What's more, it was about to burst out, and the aftermath on the edge passed over her arms and echoed in Zhou Xuan's heart along with her words.

"Having dinner together is a bit stingy. Commander, don't you think that spending the night together is the best choice?"

"As the saying goes, the night is long. Apart from a romantic dinner, we still have more time to do the things we love to do~"

If before, their thoughts were still on the struggle for power, then from this moment on, they began to attack each other's creativity.

With the addition of chips and increases in the stakes, the benefits given to Zhou Xuan are still increasing step by step. In order to become the final winner, both sides have put a lot of effort into it.

It is a matter of honor and disgrace. Facing Marco Polo's aggressiveness, Veneto gritted his teeth and ruthlessly put forward conditions similar to the sister meal.

In order to regain the visible advantage as soon as possible, Marco Polo, who has always been a loner, said frankly that everything is possible and everything is permitted.

The quarrel was so heated that Zhou Xuan and Arthas were left standing there staring blankly, watching the situation develop further.

However, this situation did not last long. Seeing that no one could win the competition, everyone started to plan a new plan in private.

As long as they can capture Zhou Xuan first, all their demands will be fulfilled.

With this purpose in mind, Littorio took the lead, followed by Marco Polo, while Veneto stood there in a daze, unable to keep up with the unpredictable thinking and situation.

One on the left and one on the right, two pairs of slender and soft hands came quickly, entwining left and right, and occasionally hooking onto Zhou Xuan's body.

However, they didn't expect that just in the next second when they were about to succeed, a sky blue lance rushed out from behind Zhou Xuan, violently blocking the next move of the two and forcefully dispelling their thoughts.

Looking again, I found that the Templar Arthas, who had been silent all this time, had blushed, took off his mask, and spoke angrily.

"They attacked the commander in the name of official business. Arthas has never seen such a shameless person!"

Chapter 209: The Prelude to Being a Lowly Woman, the Battle to Protect Zhou Xuan’s Home

Perhaps their deepest feelings were touched upon, for after Arthas's shout, everyone ended their dispute tacitly and prepared to leave.

"Commander, please give more consideration to today's matter. Littorio, I am waiting for your good news~"

He was still as elegant as usual, and even when he was leaving, Littorio did not forget his good gentlemanly manners.

The hand-kissing gesture was immediately repeated on Zhou Xuan, which also prompted Marco Polo to follow suit. His hands and face were suddenly covered with conspicuous red spots.

Veneto would never dare to do such a bold thing, so her choice was the most conservative. She just bowed, smiled sweetly, and turned away.

Everyone left with a smile on their face, and Zhou Xuan was no exception.

Even though the figures of the few people had already walked away, he was still savoring the two sweet kisses that had just been given to him, with his mouth raised and smiling. In Arthas's opinion, this was not a good sign.

I was worried and my heart was filled with anxiety.

Such worries continued until tonight, and in front of everyone he had gathered, Arthas finally had the confidence to relax.

She turned to her companions who had come over after hearing the news, and quickly told them everything she had seen and heard today, as well as some of her concerns.

There was a lot of discussion, and Arthas' words immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

Mogador, who was not swayed by his excessive physical expression or even turbulent emotions, shared a common hatred of the enemy and rarely used his brain, was the first to give an answer.

"So, just after we solved the Xiafei incident... a new enemy has already appeared, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she revealed an impatient expression as her emotions surged.

"Tsk, this is really troublesome. There are too many bad women around the commander."

"We just took down one, and now another group has appeared..."

"I said it, with the commander's charm, the other ship girls will always be a huge trouble for us."
