Chapter 129 Arrival of the Arbitrator
Rand looked at the boy in front of him as if he were a monster.
Ningle looks only about seventeen or eighteen years old. At this age, he should still be in the Naval Academy learning how to control ship girls.
Although he is still at the age where people feel complacent about having a ship girl, this commander already has the strength comparable to that of all the big guys.
"Commander Ningle, come in, the meeting is about to begin."
Accompanied by Rand, Ningle entered the Governor's Mansion.
The Governor's Mansion does not have the red and black color scheme of Iron Blood, but is more like White English or Royal.
There are several paintings hanging on the silver-white walls, and the windows are made of ordinary transparent glass without any carved decorations, but they give people a very clean feeling.
The carpet felt hard to step on, obviously it was quite old.
Arriving at the door of the conference room, Rand turned around and said to Ningle.
“Young man, I know you are very powerful, but here, the Governor is the Governor of all Governors, and we ordinary commanders cannot compare.”
Although Rand was very surprised by Tiancheng's strength, in Rand's opinion, Ningle's strength was not worth mentioning in front of the Governor.
Squeak!
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and it was obvious that Rand and Ningler were the last to arrive.
The conference room has a long table. It is called a banquet, but there is no rich dinner on the table. Instead, it looks like people are here for a meeting.
"Everyone is here, so the annual Governor's High-level Meeting will officially begin."
Rand's seat was first on the Governor's right, while Ninler was at the end of the table.
Obviously according to strength, Ning Le was classified as the weakest one.
Behind each commander stands his own ship girl.
I don’t know if it’s because of the rules of this world, or if it’s the same for every camp, but ordinary human commanders rarely get to contract a historical ship. If your initial ship girl is not a historical ship, then you will never have the chance to ship a historical ship in this life.
When everyone saw Ning Le come in, they guessed that the huge electromagnetic fluctuation outside the door just now should have been caused by the ship girl of the commander in front of them.
Everyone turned their eyes to Amagi and Yudachi.
"Isn't Amagi a battlecruiser? And this Yudachi should be a destroyer. Then who emitted that terrifying aura just now?"
The straight-line distance between the Iron Bloods and the Sakura Empire reached 15,000 kilometers, which meant that there was almost no communication between the two camps.
The commanders present didn't know yet that Ning Le had almost taken away several big foxes of the Imperial Japan. Now only Kazuru and Tosa were left supporting the Imperial Japan's top leadership.
"Everyone, as the highest fighting force of the Iron Blood, you represent the highest will of the Iron Blood."
The governor began to speak politely, and Ning Le felt drowsy, but Amagi and Yuudachi behind him had serious expressions.
Tiancheng and Yuli have participated in serious meetings like this many times, and their expressions at the moment are completely different from the cheerful ones they showed in front of Ning Le.
"Next, let's talk about the issue of joint defense of the sea area."
After a long and meaningless speech, the governor finally got to the point.
But Ning Le also found it very boring. The Iron Blood side was similar to the Royal side.
As commanders, it is their duty to clear out the Sirens near the port area.
But some sea areas without commander ports can only be cleared by the faction's historical ships.
But the situation of Iron Blood is rather special. There are only five historical ship girls in Iron Blood, so most of the power of Iron Blood is in the hands of the Governor of Iron Blood.
Only by clearing out the Sirens can the camp gain more benefits and ensure the safe passage of merchants on the sea.
"Everyone, the sirens are spawning faster and faster. According to our observations, a Siren mass-produced ship will be refreshed every three days. There is also a very small chance of a Siren flagship appearing, and~"
Having said this, the Governor paused and looked at everyone.
"And we also have the Siren Arbiter here."
There were bursts of exclamations one after another.
Everyone even forgot to breathe, waiting for the Governor's next words.
"Therefore, all port commanders will be in defense mode starting today. Once you spot a Siren Arbiter, go to support him immediately."
After that, there was an information exchange session among everyone, where commanders shared the various intelligence they had in exchange for intelligence from others.
"How come a Siren Arbitrator appeared in Iron Blood? It's like this Siren Arbitrator is free."
Ning Le complained in his heart.
According to the historical records of this blue world, every appearance of the Arbitrator would cause a bloody storm, and each camp would have to mobilize all its ship girls to resist it.
But we learned from Elizabeth that in ancient times, the four legendary commanders only needed two teams of fully staffed ship girls to fight against one arbitrator.
"Impossible, his invitation must have been stolen."
Safur sat among the commanders and cursed loudly.
"Maybe he is the Governor-General's illegitimate son. Isn't it said that a ship girl can have children with the commander?"
At this point, all the commanders became interested.
As ordinary commanders of Iron Blood, their daily lives are actually very boring. In most cases, they take their ship girls to clean up the Siren mass-produced ships on the sea.
After spending so much time with these beautiful girls, human girls naturally no longer catch their eyes.
Almost all the commanders present have sworn ship girls, and live the life of local emperors every day in their own port areas.
"Saffel, I heard that you got a shipgirl from the Sakura Empire some time ago?"
Everyone looked at Savle who was still angry.
Let me tell you, the Sakura Empire's ship girls are really different, especially those animal ears.
When talking about this, the gloomy look on Saffr's face suddenly disappeared, and instead he showed an obscene smile.
The high-level meeting in Ningle ended quickly. These iron-blooded commanders all had their own circles and left as soon as the meeting was over.
When a group of senior commanders walked out of the Governor's Mansion, the ordinary commanders outside who were slacking off immediately sat up straight.
Savre, who was still discussing the obscene jokes, also stopped and hurried to the governor.
"The meeting is over, Governor. Are you planning a dinner?"
"No, I have something else to do."
The headquarters rejected the dinner, but the senior commanders were different. They all had their own circles, which was why they invited the ordinary commanders below the stage. As long as they could establish a slight relationship with a senior commander, they could obtain countless resources.
"Let's go, Amagi."
Ning Le did not choose to hang out with these mobs, nor did he want to have too much contact with the iron-blooded commanders.
"You're kidding. Once I take away the Iron Blood flagship, the entire Iron Blood camp will be my port."
Yuli unfolded the hull, and Ningle and Amagi sat on it.
"Brother Saful, the guy named Ningle is gone."
At the port, a commander reported Ningle's departure to Savr.
"okay, I get it."
Upon hearing the news, Saffur found an excuse to leave the banquet.
"Boy, you are still too young to dare to provoke me, Saffr."
The Governor is not the only commander with ties to the Sirens.
As the host of this meeting, Savur was naturally the governor's man and had also been exposed to some information about Siren.
It has to be said that Siren's technology is far ahead of other ship girls, which also makes Iron Blood's overall strength ahead of other camps.
Although Ningde’s ship is a historical ship, Saffr is more aware of the attraction of historical ships to Siren.
