How to fall in love with a ship girl?

I'm not afraid that the problem will be difficult to solve, I'm just afraid that this thing will remain hidden in the dark and won't come out. Siren's direct attack will, to some extent, make it easier for Xu Huan to solve the problem.

Since the alarm has already sounded, the royal family should have known about this matter a long time ago.

"Tell me the specific details you have."

Xu Huan did not have any intention of being distant, and said directly as a matter of course: "Also, by the way, give me all the terrain and maps of the nearby sea area, as well as the strength configuration of your royal family."

"Good host."

Beifa went back into the secret door and within 20 seconds, he brought out a large stack of materials. He quickly spread out the map while still reporting the situation:

"The attack was very sudden, and we don't know how they managed to bypass our alert waters. By the time we discovered them, they were already very close to the city..."

"Time, I need an approximate time."

Chapter 23: Leader III

"It looks like there's about ten minutes left."

"Ten minutes? This time is a bit short to evacuate people..."

Xu Huan raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that some of your companions have already taken on the enemy?"

"Yes, Master, but she is alone and she is an aircraft carrier. Her skills are also protective, so the delaying effect is not obvious."

Theoretically speaking, if a single aircraft carrier encounters an organized Siren fleet, the role it can play will be greatly reduced.

"What about the other ship girls of your Royal Family? How many of them can arrive before the Siren attack? How many forces can be mobilized to the battlefield?"

"The attack was very sudden. Although the emergency notice has been issued in the camp contact channel, there are not many ship girls who can arrive in a short time. Most of them are patrolling the outer strongholds and sea areas..." Belfa replied:

"It is unclear at the moment how many shipgirls can be deployed to the battlefield before the Siren arrives, but the situation should not be optimistic. In the best case scenario, the first batch of support should be able to arrive through the teleportation array in about ten minutes."

"....Teleportation anchor?"

Xu Huan was not unfamiliar with the word "teleportation". To use a more standard term, it was a jump engine. His tactical watch itself had a short-distance jump function.

A groundbreaking technological marvel, the jump drive can shatter the local space-time continuum and reconstruct it at a quantum level to an identical state as the target location.

Although it consumes a lot of energy and the natural cooling and reset time is very long, it can save lives at critical moments.

Didn’t expect that this planet also has similar technology?

However, it seemed that the transmission was arranged in advance at two points, and it could not go to any place within the range like he did before.

"This is the place we are in now. This is a teleportation point set up by the royal family in the city. It is designed to send reinforcements as soon as possible when the city is attacked."

"I see....You mean as long as we delay long enough, right?"

"Yes, Master. Right now, time is the most important thing. As long as we can hold out until the supporting ship arrives, we can minimize the losses. However, based on the current situation, some coastal areas of the city may not be able to be saved."

"Then let's go to the port first. I have two helpers here, which should be of some help." Xu Huan stood up and walked directly towards the exit of the alley.

"Okay master, but....helper?"

Befa had some doubts, but when he saw the two ship girls waiting outside the alley, he understood something.

There are ship girls who are one step ahead of the Royal Family...

"I know you have a grudge, but don't cause any trouble before we resolve it."

Without waiting for the three of them to make eye contact, Xu Huan took out three crystals from his waist bag and threw them into the hands of the ship girl.

"At the moment, I don't know the width of the battlefield, and I may not be able to take care of you in a while. Take these three things and use them directly if something goes wrong. Don't be frugal. Put your own safety first. Do you understand?" The young man had a serious expression and a blank face.

Since they are nominal commanders, he doesn't mind taking over the battlefield command directly.

After all three of them nodded, he continued:

"Our mission this time is to buy enough time for the Royal Army to provide support... Hu Teng, I will provide you with energy in advance. Please try to take care of them as much as possible."

Considering the feelings of the other two people, Xu Huan used the word "take care" very tactfully.

"Understood." Hu Teng nodded.

"Actually, I don't have to—"

Royal Wealth was about to retort subconsciously. After all, she was an underwater ship and did not need too much care. However, when he saw Xu Huan's cold eyes, he immediately put the words back.

"If there's no problem, let's go. I've just looked at the map. If you have any questions, you can ask Beifa."

After explaining the task and inputting enough mental energy into Hu Teng, Xu Huan slapped his watch and disappeared.

When he went ashore and entered the city, he recorded the exact coordinates at the speedboat in the port. Now time is urgent and the royal ship girl has already engaged the enemy ahead, so it is not a luxury to use the jump device to speed up the journey.

Unlike everyone else who was thinking of defending the area around the city, Xu Huan wanted to be more greedy.

He wanted to deal with the invading Sirens directly in the sea.

-------------------------------------

The densely packed sky was already filled with black fighter planes, with only a few vaguely visible white dots shuttling through it, constantly trying to block the advance of the black group.

The roar of Siren fighter planes and the deafening sound of artillery fire filled my ears. In the flickering flames of the explosion, the figure of the ship girl in a white dress was vaguely visible.

At this time, Hikari's entire body was covered by a circular light curtain. As time went by, the shells fired from afar became more and more dense, constantly hitting the light curtain and exploding, directly enveloping the ship girl in thick fog and a sea of ​​fire.

She looked at the Siren fleet approaching from a distance, as well as the vaguely visible figures of several human-shaped Sirens, and the sadness on her face became even more apparent.

The scale of this attack was much larger than initially expected. Originally, it was estimated that the intensity could last for five minutes, but now, after only fighting for less than half of that time, he was forced to use all his skills.

All the fighter planes in the hangar had already taken off, but facing the enemy's unreasonable number of aircraft, it was difficult to gain air superiority, or even slow down the enemy's advance.

Moreover, as an aircraft carrier, it had also entered the range of the enemy warship's artillery.

Once the enemy gets closer to her, even if she wants to retreat, she will be quickly caught up by the enemy due to the maneuverability of the aircraft carrier.

But if I retreat at this time, it will be too late.

It was a dead end game with almost no chance of a comeback.

Guanghui sighed leisurely, looking at her light curtain that was constantly being bombarded, and remembered the five minutes she had told War-weary. She waved her hand and asked the few fighter planes in the air to try to fly back and no longer take the initiative to attack. She tried her best to make roundabout moves to save her mental energy and use it as much as possible on her light curtain skills.

But then, a cannonball emitting yellow light exploded directly on top, causing some cracks to appear on the light curtain which was not strong enough to begin with.

"This is...."

Guanghui looked into the distance and saw an expressionless humanoid siren looking at her, with the muzzle of the gun on the ship behind her emitting a strange light.

"Leader III..."

Chapter 24 Rescue

In addition to its outstanding firepower, the special armor-piercing shells equipped on the Ocean Leader III also pose a certain threat to ship girls.

Under normal circumstances, the opponent's threat to Guanghui is not that high, but if its armor-piercing bullets are used at this time -

It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. With the appearance of a crack on the light curtain and the continuous artillery fire from behind, the entire light curtain began to tremble constantly and the cracks began to spread gradually.

In the end, the entire light curtain turned into broken circles like a spider web, as if it would break into pieces if blown by the wind.

Guanghui mobilized all of his mental energy. His raised arm began to tremble slightly, and he managed to maintain the light curtain with great difficulty.

The next second, the leader's artillery shells attacked again.

"boom--"

It was like the sound of breaking glass, accompanied by flames. The light curtain that was originally slightly trembling was shattered in an instant, turning into fragments and then into particles of light that dissipated in the air.

The ship girl suddenly bent down, and a stream of red blood slowly flowed from the side of her mouth.

She raised her head and looked at the humanoid Siren in the distance. Her originally gentle face was a little damaged because of the blood, and her ship uniform was covered with a thick layer of black smoke.

The shell just now directly broke her light curtain and hit the runway of the ship, making her lose the ability to take off her carrier-based aircraft again.

"....Are you going to collapse here today?"

Guanghui looked at the next wave of fire rain in the sky, and the hot energy contained in it seemed to be clearly perceptible.

"It's still not five minutes... I broke my promise."

She sighed, and War-weary instructed to stop the enemy at the risk of her own life and to delay for five minutes.

Neither of these was achieved.

Instead of closing her eyes and accepting her fate, Guanghui looked at the shells in the sky and raised her hand again. However, the exhausted mental energy in her body could no longer provide her with any help.

"sieve--"

There was a whistling sound of wind breaking through my ears, which was so similar to the sound of a shell cutting through the air that it was difficult to distinguish.

“??!!”

Guanghui only felt that there seemed to be a figure flashing before her eyes. When the next second the shells exploded in the distance, she found that she had been picked up by the waist without knowing when, and avoided the previous round of volleys.

"name."

The ship girl lay in the somewhat warm arms, raised her head, and met a pair of dark eyes.

Surrounded by a special aura of mental energy, Guanghui instantly understood the other party's identity.

"Glorious..."

She answered subconsciously, her heartbeat slowing down.

To become a commander, in addition to having mental energy affinity, the most crucial step is to gain the recognition of the ship girl.

Just like the glory at this moment.

The hero saving the beauty at the critical moment is indeed old-fashioned, like a common routine in stories and novels, but it also shows that this kind of behavior can easily gain the other party's favor or recognition.

What's more, the Royal Family also has their own secrets, about the commander's secrets, which will be mentioned later.

"The aircraft carrier that Belfast mentioned should be you, right?"

After temporarily leading the other party out of danger, Xu Huan had no attachment to the soft touch in his hand. While putting down the light, a blue stand shield was erected.

"Yes...."

After calming down his messy thoughts, Guanghui straightened his clothes and nodded.

"Sorry."

The situation was urgent. Xu Huan hesitated again and again, and without caring about etiquette, he directly picked up Guanghui's wrist which had been slightly stained by the smoke, input his mental energy, and asked the other party to check his physical condition.

"The condition of your body... doesn't look good. It will be difficult for you to continue fighting."

"Commander...we are now--"

The current situation is not optimistic. After a brief contact, Guanghui was sure that Xu Huan was not an ordinary person, but it was really unsettling to think that he had fallen into such danger in order to save himself.

Can't let anything happen here...

She was about to propose retreat, but was interrupted by the young man in front of her:

"You stay in the energy shield, it shouldn't be a problem for a while. During this time, you can use this crystal to concentrate on restoring energy, don't think about other things, believe me..." Xu Huan was afraid that the ship girl would not follow his instructions, so he added one more sentence:

"Even if you want to help me, you have to recover your energy first, right?"

After saying that, he threw down a crystal, and his figure flashed again and disappeared directly in front of the ship girl.

The Commander is really...

It's turbulent.

Guanghui looked at the crystal stone containing mental energy in his hand, immediately adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and began to absorb it quietly.

Just as Xu Huan said just now, if you want to help, the best way now is to recover your strength as soon as possible and not be a burden to the other party.

Moreover, the tone of the other party's speech also gives people a convincing feeling.

-------------------------------------

In order to reach the front line of the battle as soon as possible, Xu Huan even consumed a large amount of stored energy resources, directly forcibly reset the cooling time of the jump device, and performed two short-distance jumps.

The price he paid for this was that his breath was a little weak, he looked like he might collapse at any time, and he would not be able to use the jump device again for a long time.

"I'll have to find the engineers on the ship to see if there's anything that can be improved..."

The thin black armor gradually covered his entire body, and Xu Huan looked towards the sky and sea in the distance.

There were so many planes and ships that Xu Huan was reminded of the swarms of Zerg that kept pouring in like a tide when he was fighting against the Zerg on a certain planet before.

“I feel a little sick...”
