Start making anti-ship treasures from Azure

As a scientific research ship, she is the undisputed leader in the Iron Blood camp. Her strength can even overwhelm the Purifiers and Clearers in the experimental institution. Even if two Sirens attack together, Frederick can deal with them as little as possible without getting hurt.

At this time, Frederick the Great was obviously in a good mood. He even held a baton in his left hand and gently waved it in the air, humming the melody of the Iron-Blooded Navy's symphony.

Just as the symphony was about to reach its climax, a burst of electronic beeping interrupted the song that Frederick the Great was humming.

"Hmm? Why is there a distress signal?"

Frederick the Great's originally gentle face suddenly became stern, and his serious and cold side as a soldier was revealed in an instant.

Ignoring the interruption of her humming, Frederick the Great quickly turned around and looked at the tablet on her desk. The continuously flashing red LED lights on it indicated that a distress signal had been triggered that was enough to reach her, the head of the Iron Blood Hamburg branch. Usually, only important transport fleets had such authority, but if she remembered correctly, no transport fleet had applied to return to the port recently.

With doubts, Frederick the Great turned on the tablet that was still beeping, but the tablet seemed to be broken, with only a simple and clear sentence on it.

"We found a Siren fleet. It seems to be carrying important cargo. It is escorted by a large number of Executor-type Sirens. There also seem to be advanced Siren humanoids called Cleaners." - Z23

Frederick the Great frowned slightly. It was obvious that Z23, the destroyer ship girl called Nimi-chan by the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls, sent this distress message at this time.

"Strange, why is there a Siren transport team at this time?"

Although I don't know what happened on Nimi's side, generally speaking, Nimi would not send a distress signal of this level to me just because of an ordinary transport fleet. It would only ask for help if it discovered an important situation and was discovered by the other party.

But Frederick the Great thought that today was the time for the ports of Hamburg and Nuremberg to change guards, and most of the garrisoned ships and high-end combat forces had basically left the port.

"Forget it, I'll go there myself."

Frederick was not worried that it might be a conspiracy or something like that, because the location where the information came from was actually not far from the port of Hamburg, only half an hour's sail away. If he went at full speed, it might take less than half an hour.

After making up his mind, Frederick the Great immediately opened the door of his office and walked out, without noticing that a Q version of the observer's head appeared on the tablet that had just flashed red. Then, this valuable tablet shut down and became scrapped due to overload.

But Frederick the Great would certainly not know this, because at this time she had already deployed her powerful dragon ship suit, with four twin main guns located on the steel dragon transformed from the entire hull.

The ship suits of the Iron Blood factions are different from those of other factions. As they fight against the Sirens most frequently, they obtained some of the technology from the Sirens' living ship suits through reverse engineering. Therefore, almost every Iron Blood ship girl with a certain strength has a very large dragon-shaped ship suit.

As Frederick the Great is one of the strongest among the Iron Bloods, her ship equipment naturally exudes a sense of power from beginning to end.

The ferocious appearance and glowing eyes make it look like he is about to tear the enemy in front of him into pieces.

With Frederick the Great driving at almost overspeed, it took her only a dozen minutes to reach the location mentioned in the briefing, but after arriving here, she did not see Nimi, nor was there any sign of the Siren transport fleet.

"Were we tricked? Was there an ambush or something?"

At this moment, Frederick the Great suddenly realized that the briefing was probably sent by the Siren to lure him out. He just didn't expect that the other party had already mastered their Iron Blood's carefully encrypted information network channel and was able to transmit false information to the communication tablet of her, the branch director.

Just when Frederick the Great wanted to leave as soon as possible, a fleet caught her attention. It was a Siren fleet, but it seemed that there was no advanced human leading it, and there was no trace of the Mirror Sea. It looked like just an ordinary transport fleet.

Originally, Frederick the Great wanted to directly fire and destroy those mass-produced Siren ships and transport ships, but an inexplicable sixth sense was faintly chiming, as if reminding her that she would regret it later if she did so.

Although Frederick the Great always believed that absolute rationality could bring victory when commanding battles, even she would not deny that sometimes intuition was the way to lead everyone to victory.

So she chose to trust her sixth sense. After a brief aiming, the four turrets aimed at the four escorting mass-produced light cruisers respectively. The attack almost directly hit the core area and immediately sank these light cruisers by self-detonation. The aftermath did not affect the transport ships surrounded in the middle too much.

However, it seemed that the reactor of the transport ship was destroyed during the explosion, so the transport ship slowly lost power as Frederick the Great approached, and finally stayed where it was.

When Frederick the Great packed up his equipment and boarded the transport ship, he found that the containers piled on it were all empty, as if they were a facade created to hide something.

And just after she entered the bridge, the palpitation became stronger and stronger, as if something was calling her.

"This feeling is like a resonance of fate. Is there anyone waiting to play a symphony with me?"

Frederick the Great quickened her pace until she reached the deepest part of the transport ship, where the reactor was located.

When she arrived here, what she saw was a child trapped in a hexagonal cage. He was floating in the cage with his eyes closed. He had anklets on his feet that looked like shackles, and on his chest was a symbol that she had seen before, representing the "key experimental subject."

"A child?! Are those Sirens so crazy that they would use children for experiments?!"

For Frederick the Great, who was like the Dark Madonna who loved children the most, the child in front of him must be a human captive kidnapped by the Sirens in an invasion battle, and after being abducted, he was used as an experimental subject for a certain transformation plan.

So inevitably, the aura of this Dark Madonna became extremely oppressive in an instant, and even the fluctuations emanating from her body seemed extremely terrifying. Siren's behavior of using children for experiments was undoubtedly stepping on her minefield.

"We'll settle accounts with them later. The most urgent thing now is to bring him back. Although I don't know what kind of torture this child has suffered, it must be a terrible memory. His parents must have died as well."

That’s right, this child is Luo Li. After the observer pushed him into a sleeping state, he placed him on this transport ship and sent false information to make Frederick the Great come here alone.

As for why Frederick the Great had to come himself, the reason was simple. During the Observer's experience of fighting with Iron Blood and the others, she discovered that Frederick the Great seemed to have no resistance to children.

If she could come alone, she could completely push Luo Li into the inner part of the ship girls. If other ship girls came this time, it would definitely affect her plan of letting Frederick the Great take Luo Li away.

After all, not every iron-blooded ship girl is as defenseless against children as Frederick the Great. For example, Bismarck, who has a cold face every day, would definitely hand Luo Li over to the researchers in a fair and impartial manner if she were there.

That would be a big deal. Humans have always been more cruel to their fellow humans than the Sirens. They might dissect Luo Li on the pretext of intercepting technology. It's terrifying just to think about that!

Frederick the Great held Luo Li, who had fallen from the sky, in his arms. His hands, which could easily tear steel plates apart, now held Luo Li carefully, as if he was afraid that his hands would be too strong and hurt the child in his arms.

She saw the tag the child was wearing around his neck.

[Alpha experiment, codenamed Luo Li, has special effects, strengthens the comprehensive capabilities of the Siren humanoid, and activates the hidden capabilities of the ship at the same time]

"What a poor child! If we take him back like this, he will definitely be handed over to research institutions by his colleagues..."

At this time, Frederick the Great could already imagine what those researchers would do to the child in his arms. For them, if they could obtain the child's special abilities, they would definitely kill the child. What was the difference between them and those Sirens?

And the child in my arms is so cute and beautiful, it's better to...

At this time, Frederick the Great had a selfish and irrational idea: how about keeping him and raising him himself?

It is not a problem to raise a child with the financial resources of my branch director. When he grows up, I can arrange for him to work in the port area where I am.

That's it, just raise him secretly and pretend that no one knows you were out today, and take him home.

Frederick the Great took off the badge around Luo Li's neck and crushed it into powder. Just in case, he sank the transport ship before leaving, causing everything to sink to the bottom of the sea.

"I'm so lucky, a perfect child, so beautiful, so cute... From now on, you are mine, and I will protect you."

The already extremely strong maternal instinct in Frederick the Great's heart was infinitely magnified at this moment. Luoda's body, which had been carefully adjusted by the observer, had been emitting an invisible and unpredictable fluctuation. Such fluctuations resonated with the core cube in the ship girl's body, adjusting Luo Li's image in their minds to the most perfect one.

So Frederick the Great, after this trip, got what he had always dreamed of, a child that belonged only to him.

After Frederick the Great left here, the observer's figure rose from the sea and looked in the direction of Frederick the Great with a smile.

"Huff, huff, little Luo Li! In order to get you in, five mass-produced ships were scrapped. I'll write it down in my notebook and ask for it back later."

Volume 1: Chapter 4 Hu Teng compromises, leaving Luo Li behind

"Frederick, what have you done! The experimental subjects brought back from the Siren should be handed over to those researchers!"

A cool and beautiful ship girl with a similar face to Frederick was looking at Frederick the Great with a cold and puzzled look. If Luo Li was awake at this time, she would definitely be able to recognize who she was.

Different from the gentle eyes of Frederick the Great, the eyes of this ship girl are quite sharp, like a spider staring at its prey, as if she is always planning how to destroy the enemy or anyone who dares to stand in her way.

She wore a black lapel dress on the upper body, and her slender legs were wrapped in a pair of stockings embroidered with spider web-like patterns.

She also has two horns on her head, but compared to Frederick's horns, hers appear thinner and sharper.

Similarly, unlike Frederick's long hair, her hair was only shoulder-length and she seemed to have black nail polish and lip gloss on her nails and lips.

Ulrich von Hutten, the sister ship of Frederick the Great, was originally a plan ship like Frederick the Great and possessed equally terrifying strength. Unlike Frederick the Great who liked to command, the more stern Hutten preferred to rely on her own strength to crush all enemies in front of her.

What’s interesting is that although they are sister ships, the relationship between the two is in a very delicate state. They are close, but also like rivals. The two with completely different personalities are constantly in friction with each other, which made the other ship girls of Iron Blood once doubt whether the two would fight.

And now, the two of them have once again broken out into conflict, and this conflict seems to be very serious.

"Hu Teng, you don't need to interfere in this matter. This child has been through enough. Human research institutions will want to obtain the Siren technology in this child at all costs."

Frederick the Great placed the still sleeping Luo Li in his room, but as soon as he walked out of the room, he found his sister ship Hutten standing in the corridor of the villa.

As the head of the Hamburg branch of Iron Blood, Frederick the Great possesses unparalleled financial resources. After all, in a sense, the rulers of each human camp are the ship girls. For example, the Prime Minister of Iron Blood at this time is Bismarck, and the Chancellor is Tirpitz, known as the 'Lonely Queen of the North'.

Originally, Frederick the Great was the leader in the minds of the Iron Bloods, but her gentle appearance and personality made it difficult for people to associate her with the word majesty, so the more serious sisters Bismarck and Tirpitz were chosen as the leaders of the Iron Bloods, and Frederick the Great came to the Hamburg branch with Hutten.

"I won't allow them to treat such a young child like this, so he must stay in the villa."

"That's impossible, Frederick!"

Hutten looked into Frederick's eyes as if he was irritated. Cold gazes flashed from their golden pupils, and both of them insisted on their own opinions.

Frederick the Great loved children very much, and the first time he saw Luo Li, he fell in love with this poor little guy. On the way back, he intentionally or unintentionally explored the child's mental network and found that his mental network was as pure as pure water, without any impurities.

"I don't care if you're doing it because of that ridiculous love or something else, all that stuff is bullshit, like, love, if you have selfish motives just say it, don't use those things as an excuse!"

Hutten stretched out his hand to open Frederick the Great's door, but just as he touched the door handle, Frederick the Great grabbed his hand. The force he exerted on his hand was clearly conveying a message.

'Don't open the door'

"Frederick, I'm warning you one last time. If you throw him to those research institutions now, you can still get away with this matter. But if you insist on staying here, what will you do if they find out one day that you have secretly kept the Siren experiment?"

Hu Teng's words really touched Frederick the Great's sore spot. For some reason, after knowing Luo Li's name, she particularly hated the title of Siren experimental subject.

"He has a name, Luo Li."

"Frederick! I'm not kidding you!"

"I do not have either."

Compared to Hutten's anger and indifference at this moment, Frederick the Great seemed unusually calm, as if he didn't care at all about what Hutten had just said about hiding something.

"I don't care what other people think. We have sent experimental subjects to research institutions before. Every time, they would assure us that they would not harm those people. But what happened in the end?"

Frederick the Great said this calmly, but this sentence made Hutten's next words go back into her stomach.

The reason why Hu Teng didn't want her to keep Luo Li was because he was worried that the truth would be revealed one day. Once discovered, this matter would have an adverse impact on him.

Hu Teng didn't like the feeling of being betrayed. In her opinion, Luo Li would drag them into a bad situation one day, so she wanted to completely sever her relationship with him now to ensure that she and herself would not be implicated by Luo Li.

But, my sister, don’t you understand what kind of personality I have?

How can I have the heart to hand this child over to those researchers? Are you going to let me send him from one hell to another with my own hands?

It seemed that an emotion from the heart flashed in his eyes. Hutten couldn't help but pause when he saw Frederick the Great's eyes. The anger and anxiety in his heart because Frederick the Great did not listen to advice and insisted on his own way also disappeared at this moment.

At this moment, she couldn't help but soften her words, but maybe she was used to being indifferent. Even in her current emotional state, she still spoke to Frederick the Great in a cold tone.

"I can't persuade you anymore. You'd better keep him with you at all times, otherwise don't blame me for throwing him out when you're not around one day. I hate children!"

After hearing Hutten's words, Frederick the Great suddenly laughed. His sister ship was good in every way. She knew how to care about those close to her and was willing to use her strength to protect the other ship girls of Iron Blood. But there was just one thing that was not very pleasing, and that was her cold and arrogant personality.

Obviously I have passionate emotions but they have been suppressed in my heart. Obviously I have things I want to say but I have never dared to speak them out. I have to say them in such a way that will hurt others.

How could Frederick the Great not know what Huteng meant? Asking her to keep Luo Li with her at all times simply meant that she should hide Luo Li well and not let others see her.

As for the fact that she would throw Luo Li out, it was completely nonsense. Although Hu Teng was very cold, he would not go to the extent of kicking a powerless child out of the house alone. Throwing Luo Li out was nothing more than a word spoken in anger.

I'm afraid it's true that she will be thrown out at that time, but Luo Li will be thrown out of this corridor and driven into her Frederick's room.

Really, that’s not candid at all, Hu Teng.

But just when the atmosphere between the two ship girls was slowing down, the sound of a door opening focused the attention of the two ship girls on the crack of the door that was being secretly opened.

A small pupil that reflected their reflections carefully saw them at this time, and then he quickly closed the door as if he didn't expect that they were also looking at him.

"Children are annoying. Since you insist on keeping him here, I'll go buy some human food. Anyway, the Hamburg and Nuremberg branches are changing guards right now, so there's nothing else to do. You can just stay in the villa and accompany this child you picked up."

"Yes, thank you for your help, Hu Teng."

"whispering sound--"

Volume 1: Chapter 5 Hu Teng sets his sights on Xiao Luoli

"Hey, open the door, okay? I won't hurt you."

Frederick was knocking on the door gently at this time. Ever since she and Hu Teng were locked outside the door as if they had scared little Luo Li, she had been trying to get Luo Li to open the door.

In fact, she could have used the key to open the door, but considering that the child was frightened might be because he confused himself with those Sirens and thought he was transferred to another place for experiment.

After all, judging purely from appearance, Hu Teng and he really looked a bit like the Sirens, especially this body that had gained some of its power through Siren technology. Its temperament was indeed very similar to the Sirens' cold temperament.

"do not want!"

"Hey, I'm not one of those guys doing experiments, I'm a ship girl on the human side!"

"Liar, that's what the last guy with the smirk on his face said! But she was the one who pushed me down on that big table!"

Listening to Luo Li's description, Frederick the Great quickly browsed through the images in his memory.

"With a sly smile, is she the ship girl from the experiment, the observer?"

Frederick the Great had seen an observer before, and she was deeply impressed by the way he seemed to be planning some bad idea all the time. Luo Li's description was completely accurate for her.

"Frederick, what's going on? Haven't you gone in yet?"

At this time, Huteng, who had just bought food outside, went upstairs. When he looked up, he saw Frederick the Great still standing at the door.

Frederick was clearly standing at the door when I went out shopping. Now that I have returned after shopping, why is he still standing here?

"Ah, Hu Teng, you're back. Luo Li seems to have confused us with Siren and the others. She's so scared that she doesn't want to open the door at all."

"Please, let me do it."

Hutten pushed Frederick the Great away with an annoyed look on his face, then grabbed the door handle.
