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

Having personally participated in the action against the lowly women, Mogador certainly knew how laborious and strenuous this task was.

It took several days just to capture Xiafei.

Even until now, some people are still worried about the impact afterwards and dare not meet her. Whenever they run into her, they avoid her.

And now a bunch of them suddenly appear. You can imagine how depressed Mogador is at this moment.

"A famous iron-blood removal expert once said that pest control is a long and arduous task. We need to maintain sufficient motivation, Mogador."

As the initiator of this meeting, Arthas naturally needed to maintain the morale of those present. After comforting them, she looked at everyone on the field and continued.

"I invited you all here tonight mainly to discuss how to protect the commander and prevent the enemy from interfering with his innocence. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Without answering in a hurry, Marseillaise looked left and right, then met her gaze and gave his own judgment.

"It's a pity that Xiafei is not here, otherwise with her talent, she would surely be able to make more appropriate suggestions."

"But it doesn't have much of an impact. The initiative is in our hands. We can use defense as offense and wait for the commander to tire himself out."

"If any of the Sardinian shipgirls try to approach the commander, just find a random excuse to send them away."

"What if it's Veneto or Littorio, who are like the heads of a country? Do we need to turn them away?"

"Besides, I think it won't be difficult for them to see our true intentions given their experience, right? What if it causes a diplomatic incident between the two sides?"

I also made a new addition to the point of view of Marseillaise. Algeria’s concerns are not unreasonable. This level of ship girls does need to be treated with caution.

Fortunately, there was also a heavyweight figure present at this meeting.

Hearing this, Jean Bal, the second in command of the Iris Theocracy and the second ship of the Richelieu class, stood up and snorted coldly.

"Humph, there is no distinction between high and low when it comes to those who want to steal the commander's food. Just treat them equally."

"If it causes a diplomatic incident, my sister will be able to explain it clearly, so don't worry."

Jean Bart was smugly comforting everyone, but he invisibly put a layer of pressure on Richelieu who was far away.

I really don't know whether he is confident in her ability or he simply doesn't feel bad about cheating her.

I'm afraid only I know the details, but it also served as a shot of prevention for everyone present, and more plans were introduced one after another.

"The guard team that Jeanne is in is the first echelon, responsible for ensuring the safety around the command room."

"The second team led by Marseillaise will take over the first team's mission after dark and guard the commander's room door to prevent any outsiders from entering."

"Arthas's duties remain unchanged. He will stay by the commander's side and protect his safety at all times."

"Once the Sardinian camp reacts, the offensive will surely surge like a tide. By then, the pressure you face will be enormous."

"As for the assistance, Ji Shang, who is proficient in magic, can set up some mazes around the commanders to make them lose their way and end up going around in circles back to the starting point."

"As for the considerations regarding the night raid, please rest assured, Commander, I'm here for you."

"I guarantee with my personal integrity that I will stay in his room and serve as his last line of defense."

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes on the field were focused on Jean Bart.

The meaning is complicated, including surprise, astonishment, and even contempt when they realize it belatedly. They are thinking.

It's a love story that all the sisters have worked so hard for, but in the end, you are the only one who gets to enjoy the feast. There is no such good thing in the world.

But despite all the complaints, everyone still nodded and reluctantly agreed.

After all, for them, the benefits should not be wasted. As ship girls of Iris, they will always get a share of the pie.

So, under Jean Bart's final mobilization, everyone put their hands together and made a gesture similar to cheering and encouraging.

Just as they were about to hit it off and clarify their ultimate goal, the door of the conference room suddenly loosened, and a ship girl slowly walked in from outside the door.

It turned out to be the Iris Inquisitor Joffre who was deliberately forgotten by Arthas.

She stepped forward, her resentful eyes slowly swept over Arthas and Mogador, and then she put her hands on everyone without saying a word.

Then he echoed their words and determination and spoke in unison.

"For the Commander!"

Chapter 210: The missing commander and his abnormally behaving ship girls

They acted quickly as soon as they said it, and almost that night, the entire Iris fleet had entered the wartime control stage.

By the time the Sardinians, led by Veneto, discovered what was happening, it had been two days since they had lost contact with Zhou Xuan.

Inside Sardinia's royal office, the atmosphere was silent except for a few sighs.

Veneto sat on the main seat, thinking with her head down, while Littorio, her think tank, paced beside her, carefully recalling all the clues of the past few days.

If I think about it carefully, in fact, from the beginning to the end, all the events were not perfect. The only thing I blamed was that I was too relaxed.

Due to the comfort of the new environment, he lost his vigilance, and right under his nose, Zhou Xuan, who was perfectly fine, suddenly stopped making any movement.

It's as if he has disappeared from the face of the earth, and I can't contact him or see him.

In addition, not only the date invitations for enhancing the relationship, but also all the appointments for business matters with impure purposes have all fallen into the sea and there is no news.

Not only that, during the subsequent investigation and remediation, Veneto and Littorio also discovered.

For no apparent reason, many patrolling Iris ship girls appeared near Zhou Xuan's command room, and the defenses were so tight that it looked very suspicious.

Using normal logical thinking, if Zhou Xuan really disappeared, what would be the point of them staying there?

As he spoke, he reviewed the situation carefully in his mind. Thinking of this, Littorio suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction of Veneto.

At the same time, catching the blind spot, Veneto raised his head at the first moment and responded to her gaze.

As if they had guessed something, the two people's gazes evolved from initial confusion to later determination, and intertwined in mid-air.

Since there is something fishy going on, why not go to the scene in person and ask for or try to find out an explanation?

This way we can see what the Iris Knights are up to.

With the same purpose in mind, the two sisters immediately came to the vicinity of Zhou Xuan.

I had anticipated the possibility of being strongly blocked by the patrol ship girls, but I didn't expect that after making so many preparations, this treatment would be taken away by someone else.

Following the gazes of the people around him, Veneto looked forward. On the wide corridor, a dark green figure was clearly visible.

It was Marco Polo, who was used to being alone.

Because she was stopped outside and couldn't see Zhou Xuan, she was furious and spoke angrily.

"Humph, you said you were busy the day before yesterday, you said you didn't have time yesterday, and today you said it was inconvenient. What kind of excuse are you going to prepare to get rid of me tomorrow?"

"You made me miss several times in a row. Is this kind of prank fun, everyone?"

"I, Marco Polo, don't have time for nonsense. I've already said that I have something urgent to see the commander. Please get out of the way and let me pass."

A series of experiences made her anxious and she didn't even bother to wait for their response. After Marco Polo finished speaking, he took a step forward on his own.

But I was faster than the enemy. As soon as Marco Polo took a step, Joan of Arc and Marseillaise arrived in front of her in time, blocking her firmly, without letting her move forward at all.

Perhaps he still retained some restraint, and as a last resort, Marco Polo chose to lift his little foot, put it back to its original place in shame, and changed his way to continue fighting.

"How dare a mere cruiser stand in front of a battleship? It's really unfair! I'm afraid that no one except the commander can give you such courage."

"But then again, I've been making a fuss here for quite some time, but the commander hasn't made any move."

"You guys, are you guys committing crimes in the port area under the banner of the commander?"

"Haha, Mr. Marco Polo, you're worrying too much. All this is in accordance with the commander's orders. We are just obeying." Joan of Arc responded without being able to hold back.

Seeing that such sarcasm had finally caught the other party's verbal loophole, Marco Polo took this opportunity to make a move.

"Then let me go in and confirm it with the commander! Whether it is true or not, we will discuss it later!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Marco Polo's words were reasonable and well-founded, but he failed to open a gap as he wished. Joan of Arc and others were not in a hurry at all and did not take this failure seriously at all.

He was still relying on Zhou Xuan's remaining power to bully others, and was still stubborn and insisted on keeping her, who cared about him, thousands miles away from Zhou Xuan. What was going on?

The continuous setbacks had already accumulated a lot of anger in Marco Polo's heart. Just as he was about to explode, he felt several strange movements on her shoulders.

"Veneto... Littorio, it's you..."

No longer fighting alone, Marco Polo's eyes lit up the moment he saw the two pillars of Sardinia.

But then he thought of some old memory, and soon after his emotions came up, he turned his head away, smacked his lips, and subconsciously pretended to be disdainful.

It was that unobstructed, clear expression and movement, but the two did not take it to heart.

Without any communication, the two sisters cooperated in an orderly manner. Littorio stepped forward to mediate, and Veneto took the opportunity to take Marco Polo's hand and led her to a safe place.

"It's not that we don't trust you, but your actions are very strange. For the commander's safety, we have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"Well, my beautiful ladies, let us go in and see the commander and confirm that it is safe. That's all."

"If we are overthinking it, then on behalf of the Sardinian camp, I would like to express my sincere apologies to each of you one by one."

Littorio felt that it was not easy for her to maintain her composure and deal with such a serious situation as the commander losing contact.

But for some reason, no matter how many nice words I said, the Iris Knights still seemed unmoved.

They even treated her with contempt right in front of her. It was most appropriate to describe them as being unreasonably aggressive and domineering.

Although he felt that the behavior of the Iris ship girls was quite abnormal, people always have an emotional side. Before long, Littorio was on the verge of red temperature.

She lost her composure and her words became more severe instead of restrained.

"Since you can't give me an answer, I will ask your Bishop Richelieu for an explanation."

"Anyway, I, Littorio, will remember what happened today!"

"Please, Mr. Littorio. Arthas is only a soldier and his duty is to obey."

Facing the opponent's harsh words, Arthas, who had hurried over to help, responded without giving in.

Because of the confrontation between the two, the surrounding atmosphere was filled with gunpowder.

The situation was at a stalemate, neither going any further nor further, but looking at the Sky Blue Knight in front of him and her determined face, Littorio seemed to remember something.

Then his eyes turned, and the anger in the sky instantly subsided, and all that remained on Arthas was the sparkling amber eyes.

After ignoring Arthas as if nothing had happened, she chose to give up the argument and turned back to Veneto.

He cooperated with her movements, half supporting and half holding up half of Marco Polo's body, and only whispered in his ear, "Please be patient."

The mood changed so quickly that Marco Polo might not have understood it, but as sisters, Veneto quickly grasped the meaning.

Without saying much, he just nodded imperceptibly, then they lifted up Marco Polo's body, ignored her futile struggle, and slowly walked in another direction.

After they walked away and could no longer be seen, everything returned to its previous calm.

Joan of Arc's team continued their daily patrol work, while Arthas quietly avoided the crowd and spoke across the air using wireless communication.

"Everything is going smoothly according to your deployment, Commander."

Chapter 211: The truth is revealed, and the horn of counterattack is about to be blown

On the way from one point to another, the review of the situation afterwards never stopped.

Littorio felt that if Marco Polo was not a famous figure and was not well-liked due to his eccentric personality, it was understandable that he was turned away.

But the only strange thing is that even with the help of these two people, the Iris ship girls who were responsible for Zhou Xuan's safety had no intention of backing down.

Still stubbornly trying to exclude and expel himself from Zhou Xuan's world.

His evil intentions are known to everyone.

Now, even if they didn't want to think about it anymore, everyone had to face the reality, the reality of being isolated by the Iris camp.

As for the reason behind this, I think it must be that Arthas abused his power for personal gain and took revenge on his own.

This guy is too narrow-minded. He wants to do something relatively excessive with Zhou Xuan in front of her.

Anyway, I failed in the end, so why bother with this and resort to such a bad strategy?

Everyone had different expressions, and they were secretly complaining in their hearts. They couldn't say they were complaining, but they were still in tears.

With this resentment, several people hurried to Richelieu's office and gave her a brief explanation of the matter.

In Richelieu's office, besides the three visitors, there was also Clemenceau, the leader of the Inquisition and the third in command of the Iris Theocracy.

When they came, she raised a meaningful smile, and when the accusation fell, she continued.

"I am very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. I understand how you feel."
