The commander's starting ship is different

"Your Majesty, Belfa has just received an emergency communication from the royal family. The royal palace in the Heaton Port area was attacked by sirens - probably caused by the observers. Fortunately, no ship girls were injured, only a side hall collapsed."

Luo Xi had just finished the first half of the sentence when he saw Elizabeth's pretty face lose color. Frightened, he quickly added another sentence and gently stroked the girl's back.

Elizabeth held Luo Xi's arm, her eyes showing a determination that Luo Xi had never seen before, "Commander, the dignity of the royal family cannot be violated, and the royal ship girls under my command must not be harmed by the Sirens--"

"I have arranged for Belfa to gather everyone at the port... The situation is urgent. We will return to the port to rest a little later. We must set sail before the tide goes out this evening!"

Now it was Elizabeth's turn to be surprised. If her favorability towards Luo Xi could be expressed in a concrete numerical value, she would probably see that the number suddenly rose above 100.

"Commander, isn't this too urgent?" Although still wearing a swimsuit, the blonde girl now looked more like a reliable flagship of the camp, "Also... everyone in the port area may also be attacked by the Sirens..."

"Her Majesty the Queen is indeed very reliable~" Luo Xi also knew that Elizabeth's condition was just an emergency, so he quickly rubbed Elizabeth's head.

If the little queen keeps this tension in her heart, her mental state may not be able to hold on...

With this in mind, Luo Xi analyzed the current situation for Elizabeth and repeated Befa's previous guess, "Maybe the Siren wants to lure me and Zero over..."

After feeling the familiar force of the head rub, Elizabeth, who had been tense, relaxed a lot, but she still held Luo Xi's hand tightly, perhaps because of nervousness...

"Will our voyage be shortened if Her Majesty the Queen takes the lead?"

Luo Xi suddenly remembered something and asked curiously. There was no other way, the aura of Elizabeth in front of him was too strong, and people had to trust her.

Then, he saw Elizabeth's cheeks turn red, and she changed the subject angrily, "Commander, do you have any other questions for me? I must have some!"

……

"Everyone, you should all know what happened, right?"

Coming to the port area conference room that had not been used many times since Akashi was built, Luo Xi spoke to the participating ship girls with a serious expression.

Nagato and Amagi from the Sakura Empire, Queen Elizabeth, Warspite and Hood from the Royal Family, and St. Louis and Lexington from the White Eagles... Several camps with a large number of ship girls in the port area have nominated representatives to participate in the meeting.

Although this conference room is large and there is no problem for all the members of the port area to be present, Luo Xi thinks it is better not to let those carefree girls participate in discussing such a serious topic.

As for the smaller factions and the Siren girls who represented the top combat power in the port area, all of them had to be present...

Seeing that the shipgirls participating in the meeting had arrived one after another, Luo Xi glanced towards the door of the conference room. Z23 was standing there at this time, counting the list of shipgirls participating in the meeting with Belfast.

Z1 and Z2 were only staying temporarily in the port area, so Z23, a girl of iron blood, had no camp companions in the port area. Due to the special circumstances of this meeting, she did not have the royal wealth and Tashkent as a "neighbor" to accompany her, so she naturally came to the meeting alone.

Although he knew that Z23 had a mature and stable personality, considering that Lafei and the others did not come with him, Luo Xi still arranged for the omnipotent head maid to keep an eye on the girl.

Now it seems that these two equally reliable girls get along well...

Just as he was thinking this, Luo Xi suddenly caught a glimpse of a pure white figure from the corner of his eye——

"Aluo, if we take the Royal Fleet to Heaton Harbor, what about our companions in the harbor?"

As the secretary ship and the person who is most familiar with the observers in the port area, Zero approached Luo Xi the first time he entered the conference room, "The Purifier and I must sail with A Luo. This is the minimum standard to ensure A Luo's safety... But in this way, the only Siren left in the port area with Nagato and the others are the Builder and TB."

Speaking of TB, the girl followed behind Zero, guarding her sister closely.

"Zero, don't panic, otherwise you will play into the observer's hands." Luo Xi comforted the anxious Siren girl. He knew that Zero already regarded all the ship girls in the port as his companions... The anxiety at this moment was the most sincere emotion from the bottom of his heart.

……

Elsewhere, after a brief discussion with Amagi, Nagato noticed a blue-haired girl sitting next to her.

"So... why was I called here too? Helena is not even a ship girl from the port area... Even if Luo Xi has generously treated me as a member of the port area, there will be sister Saint Louis who will convey the message on my behalf."

The girl who spoke was Helena META. Not only was she called by Luo Xi, she was also arranged to sit in the first row of the audience, side by side with the Lord Godson of the Sakura Empire.

"The commander will make arrangements... You can wait for a while."

Facing Helena META, who looked similar to Helena, a marriage ship, Nagato, who had served the commander together with the former, could not muster any dignity and could only say something to comfort her softly.

Seeing that Luo Xi was talking to Zero, Helena META did not bother to argue with him. She just nodded slightly to Nagato, showing her goodwill, and then quietly lowered her head...

Nagato looked at Helena META. The figure of the person next to him was reflected in the fox-eared girl's clear and bright black eyes.

The girl who was forced to destroy her ship due to the attack of the Observer heard the news of the Observer again at this time, but she just lowered her eyes in silence... Nagato sighed slightly without making a sound, she didn't know what Helena META was thinking, maybe only the commander could untie her knot?

……

Back to the topic, Luo Xi realized that Zero's point of view was the same as his, and the Siren girl did not want to see the peaceful life she cherished so much being disrupted by the observer.

"I know TB doesn't have ship equipment... but her control over Siren equipment is at the highest level, even the Observer and the Builder can't compare to her, right?"

Luo Xi patiently guided Zero's thoughts. Although his voice was not loud, it was just loud enough for the various ship girls sitting in the front row of the conference room to hear - that's right, he was not only explaining for the Siren Girl, but also to give a reassurance to the ship girls in the port area present.

"We got a lot of Siren equipment from Valkyrie's Siren base and the Siren headquarters before."

Luo Xi seemed confident at this time. He took TB's hand and led her to the front of the stage. "Although it is not as large as the control console at the Siren Base, with the help of the builders, these devices have also been greatly enhanced."

Although the ship girls in the port area were still a little confused, Zero's mouth had already opened slightly in surprise. She could now guess what Luo Xi was going to say - as TB's sister, the girl was well aware of TB's powerful ability in controlling the Siren equipment.

TB doesn't need ship equipment, this girl is a genuine computer girl - the Siren equipment accumulated in the port area is her most powerful capital!

"According to the commander's order, TB has scanned the Siren equipment in the port area and now reports the scan results: TB can seize control of all Siren mass-produced ships that enter the Valkyrie Sea area. Other tactical functions are still being counted because the data is too large..."

A bright blue light flashed in TB's blue eyes. Under the astonished gaze of the girls in the harbor, she gradually came out of her calculating state, and her voice gradually freed itself from Madara's ethereal electronic sound and returned to a voice that was particularly similar to Zero's.

"Commander, using the Siren equipment so blatantly... I'm afraid it will expose the existence of various special situations in the port area? It's impossible for the Maritime Administration to fail to detect it..."

St. Louis asked cautiously. As it concerned the safety of the port, the mature lady's questions were no longer as casual as before, but rather cautious.

"It's indeed unavoidable... time is running out. I will go talk to Essex before setting sail this afternoon." Luo Xi thought of a certain director of the Maritime Administration who was keen on slacking off. It seemed that seeking her help now was the wisest choice.

"Huh~ Fortunately, A'luo and Essex have a good relationship..." Ling muttered thankfully, and then accompanied Luo Xi to look at the table again, where the Valkyrie sea chart was displayed in the form of a holographic projection.

"The sea area of ​​Valkyrie is still too large... There are islands scattered everywhere. Even the radar equipment controlled by TB as Siren cannot search for the enemy fleet at full power..."

Luo Xi hesitated for a moment on this question, then turned his gaze to Helena META sitting in the audience—a certain girl's SG radar, which had received rave reviews.

……

Volume 408: 1 Minato Helena +

"No problem, Helena's port is also my port..."

The blue-haired girl showed an expression of "as expected". Although the SG radar could not see into people's hearts, she was very observant and had already noticed an important part of the port's defense plan.

"I will keep the SG radar on continuously until the commander brings Miss Zero back to the port." Helena META made her promise seriously.

Luo Xi's expression relaxed. Although he knew that Helena was a kind-hearted girl, he couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

Wait, why are all the girls' eyes focused on him? Although he is no longer the rookie commander, Luo Xi still can't help but feel puzzled -

The next second, Luo Xi finally reacted and looked at Helena META in surprise and joy, "Helena...did you just call me commander?!"

"The commander is really slow..." War-weary, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but complain while covering his face. However, Helena META didn't care so much and just looked at her commander with a smile.

She has just become a ship girl in the port area, and is now carefully experiencing the spiritual connection that has quietly been established between her and the commander.

"Although the SG radar cannot detect the commander's inner thoughts..." The girl smiled with relief and murmured in a voice that only she could perceive, "But after becoming the commander's ship girl, I can confirm that the commander's entire heart is open to me..."

Although it was a little inappropriate, Helena META at this moment was like a little girl who had gotten her favorite toy. After feeling the spiritual connection established between her and the commander, she began to wander in the port area's thought network centered on Luo Xi.

This girl, who was born with sorrow in her heart, has been lonely for too long.

At the same time, Luo Xi, who was standing on the podium in the conference room, pursed his lips, silently feeling the completely different mental connection from the past, and the new experience it brought - Helena META's META-ized mind cube was different from that of ordinary ship girls, and was also very different from the Siren girls.

It was like a coffee-flavored candy that was bitter at first but sweet later. After peeling off the slightly bitter layer of defense, the refreshing mellow sweetness flowed into Luo Xi's mind.

Although it was a match made in heaven, the architecture of this mind link did not bring all good news...

After fully accepting the Mind Cube projection of Helena META and regaining his composure from this unexpected surprise, Luo Xi keenly sensed something strange - the ship energy carried by this Mind Cube was so weak that he couldn't even notice the other party's open heart at the first time.

No wonder Helena META had never been seen using her ship suit... the girl's injuries were much more serious than he had imagined.

Feeling Luo Xi's trust and concern for her, Helena META gently stroked the smooth table in front of her with her index finger. Had she been shutting out these precious concerns before?

"Really... I missed a lot, but also gained a lot..."

The blue-haired girl's delicate brows were slightly furrowed, but then they relaxed again, revealing a charming smile.

"But..." Luo Xi said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Helena's ship equipment..."

The girl seemed to have been touched by the depression in her heart, and gently rubbed her chest. Although her beautiful eyes were full of anger, her delicate appearance of "her heart is more intelligent than Bi Gan, and her illness is three times worse than Xi Shi's" still made Luo Xi stunned.

In just the next second, Luo Xi realized that he had said the wrong thing... He had obviously touched the softest spot in Helena META's heart.

Fortunately, Helena META didn't want to dwell on this topic. She blinked her charming red eyes and only gave Luo Xi a slightly resentful look...

Facing this girl who had just joined the port, Luo Xi had completely fallen into the state of "beauty in the eyes of the beholder". In his opinion, Helena META was more like being spoiled than being angry.

It was true that Helena META was concerned about the loss of her ship equipment, but she would not vent her anger on the commander. She knew who was behind the scenes... She would make the tentacle siren she saw that day pay the price!

At this moment, Luo Xi, who was standing next to Helena META, could sense the murderous aura emanating from the blue-haired girl...

Erliu Forest is warm and scattered

Although he knew clearly that the murderous intent was not directed at him, Luo Xi still couldn't help but feel pity for her - although he didn't know what Helena META had experienced in her other world, that girl must have fought her way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

Fortunately, she landed in the harbor and met another little angel of hers, Helena...

"In short, although I can't expect you to completely recover to Helena's state, I still want to give you a happy life..."

Luo Xi muttered to himself subconsciously, but Helena META raised her little face curiously: "Hmm? What did the commander say just now?"

Since she was already his own ship girl, Luo Xi's movements became bolder. He tapped the girl's smooth forehead lightly, and spoke with a doting tone, "Helena didn't turn on the SG radar just now, right? As far as I know, the SG radar can even sense sound, right?"

Helena META, who always had a melancholy temperament, blushed for a rare time, "SG radar... Because I was just feeling the mental connection with the commander, I didn't pay attention to the fluctuations of SG..."

The girl's words revealed her concern for the spiritual connection... and such shyness seemed particularly attractive to Luo Xi.

"I'm sorry, Commander..." Helena META's voice was soft, and she quietly expressed her apology, "I just agreed to the Commander's request, but now I'm neglecting SG's feedback."

"It's okay, now is the last leisure time..." Luo Xi stroked Helena META's hair, with a little regret in his eyes. If the incident with the observer hadn't happened, he should still be soaking in the hot spring in the mountains, and perhaps he could still enjoy the tender time with this blue-haired girl.

However...Misfortunes often go hand in hand with blessings, and blessings often go hand in hand with misfortunes. If there were no threat of the observers' intrusion, Luo Xi was sure that Helena META would not have decided to join the port area so quickly.

After pacifying Helena META, Luo Xi looked at Queen Elizabeth and said, "Your Majesty, please take Warspite to prepare the royal fleet formation. I am going to talk to Essex now. In the next period of time, with the assistance of the Maritime Administration, the defense of the port will be much more complete."

After witnessing the happy moment when Helena META joined the port and sending her blessings, Elizabeth also calmed down a lot.

Even the Royal Fleet couldn't set sail right now - they were facing a long voyage. But it would be no problem to complete the preparations during this time.

……

Volume 409: Dumplings: Am I secretly in love with Luo Xi?

"Luo Xi actually had time to come and drink tea with me today~ If I remember correctly, you are going to set sail tomorrow, right?"

Essex looked at Luo Xi playfully, with a hint of joy flashing in her beautiful eyes.

As expected, this guy Luo Xi is still thinking about me~ The young director thought happily in her heart, it was worth it that she had been surrounded by rumors for some time.

When Gridley, who was also in the White Eagle camp, took a picture of Essex and Luo Xi saying goodbye and circulated it in a small range on the internal forum of the Maritime Administration... the Valkyrie's ship girls knew that Director Essex had a scandalous commander.

As the saying goes, "three people make a tiger, and a lot of gossip can melt gold." Under the influence of public opinion, although Essex's work was not affected, her mentality and concepts changed greatly... Listening to her colleagues on the ship girl team teasing her about this scandal all day long, even Essex herself suspected that some ripples of thoughts had arisen in her heart.

Is it true that she is secretly in love with Luo Xi? And does Luo Xi have a crush on her?

When Essex really started to think about these questions seriously in the middle of the night when no one was around, her brain greatly accelerated the progress of her self-strategy...

Of course, Luo Xi, who had little connection with the Valkyrie Maritime Administration circle, was not aware of these gossip-filled scandals.

Perhaps a ship girl like Shokaku, who used to work part-time at the Maritime Bureau, also learned about this interesting little rumor through her former friends... Unfortunately, the girls in the port area don’t think that the commander’s scandal is anything uncommon, and it is even more impossible for them to report it specifically to Luo Xi.

In short, Luo Xi knew nothing about Essex's emotional changes... but when faced with the girl's slightly resentful tone, Luo Xi also cooperated and gave an apologetic expression.

"Actually..." Luo Xi considered his words carefully in his mind, "We have moved up our travel plans. If nothing unexpected happens, we will set sail in the afternoon."

"Afternoon? That's too hasty—" Essex exclaimed subconsciously, "I was prepared... ahem, I was going to see you off, it seems that the schedule has to be advanced."

Luo Xi looked at Essex suspiciously. He always felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be hiding something. However, now was not the time to dwell on these sentimental matters...

Time was running out, so Luo Xi looked around the office as soon as he entered. Apart from him and Essex, the only other person was Zero, who came in under the name of "Port Secretary Ship".

As for Shangri-La, who was always by Essex's side, no one knew where the girl had gone. There were only three people in the entire office... But this was better. Luo Xi said to Essex straight to the point: "Essex should have met Zero, right?"

Essex hadn't realized what she was about to go through yet. She just felt that Luo Xi was particularly hesitant today. After hearing Luo Xi's question, she blinked in confusion and said as a matter of course: "Of course, I not only drank black tea with Miss Ling, but also attended your vow wedding."

"Then Essex, you still remember, right? It was on the day of the wedding that Zero was attacked by the Siren."

Luo Xi patiently guided Essex's memories, while Ling stood behind the former a little nervously, clutching the corner of his commander's clothes at an angle that Essex could not see.

Although her Siren identity was an open secret in the port area...but facing an outsider like Essex, even with Luo Xi's psychological counseling on the way here, Ling's heart trembled slightly.

If Essex does not agree, the port area will have to face the dual threats from the Maritime Administration and the Sirens at the same time.

When he thought of this possibility, even if it was only a tiny possibility, Zero felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an iron hand...
