Chapter 106 Gathering

Qiancheng Xue scanned everyone, and she solemnly said to everyone, "I know that this action is very hasty, so many details cannot take care of everyone. But I hope everyone can understand one thing, we are all in the same legion and also a family. This combat mission is very important, so I rely on you all. I hope everyone can put aside past grievances and unite as one! This is also our Tenth Legion's first formal naval battle!"

"Understood!"

Zi Qing and the others responded in unison.

"Very good, I now formally announce that Zi Qing is the captain of the He Lan, Chen Xijie and Lin Zinuo are the vice-captains to assist Zi Qing in commanding. All naval matters will be led by the three of them."

Qiancheng Xue announced solemnly.

"Yes!"

The other naval captains present had no objections. Although most of Zi Qing's people were replaced, since the He Lan was assigned to Group Twelve, they should be in charge of the command, and others shouldn't try to take over.

"Alright, everyone make the final preparations. Sun Li and the others will escort the necessary supplies over in a while, and then we will set off immediately."

Qiancheng Xue said to everyone.

"Understood."

Everyone present responded excitedly.

At this moment, Zi Die suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "There are so many ships in the distance!"

Understanding Zi Die's words, everyone was taken aback and turned their heads to look. They saw teams of ships appearing on the horizon in the distance.

Zi Qing immediately issued an order.

"Everyone, go to alert status!"

Immediately, the crowd that had gathered together dispersed and ran to different posts. The reaction speed was extremely fast, and there was no panic.

At this time, Chen Xijie took out a telescope and handed it to Qiancheng Xue.

Qiancheng Xue picked up the telescope and looked at the ships, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said.

"Stand down, they are our own people."

"Our own people? We don't seem to have so many ships. Could it be another legion?"

Lin Zinuo blurted out in astonishment.

"You're right, it's another legion, and our luck seems to be very bad. According to the flags on the ships, it's the First Legion's naval fleet, the Second Legion's naval ships, and the Seventh Naval Legion's ships."

Chen Xijie said with some difficulty.

Qiancheng Xue looked at the three fleets approaching, her expression becoming more solemn.

She hadn't received a call from her father yet, and hadn't received a specific mission notification, but her eldest brother had already come to her, strongly requesting to buy a warship.

By the time she went online and wasn't ready, their fleets had already arrived.

Although everyone's territories were very close, there was still some distance, and it was impossible to bring the fleets over immediately.

That could only mean one thing, her eldest brother had received accurate mission information before her.

And he had made two preparations. On the one hand, he tried to buy the He Lan from her, and on the other hand, he notified his ships to come down in advance. This way, he could set off with the He Lan and carry out the combat mission, and at the same time, he could share some of the credit.

And her second sister should have received the information in advance, but probably a little later than her eldest brother, otherwise she would have tried to do the same.

As for her seventh sister's fleet, there was nothing to say. She was acting together with her eldest brother.

Soon, the three fleets sailed over.

There were a total of nine ships, five of which were standard diesel-powered battleships.

They were of varying degrees of newness. In addition, there were four light patrol ships, similar to the dilapidated ship that Su Mo and the others had obtained at Mist Harbor.

Their fleet, whether in scale or quality, far exceeded the Tenth Legion. Leaving aside the He Lan, there was really no comparison at all.

But there was no way around it. They were rich and had plenty of funds!

You have to know that Qiancheng Xue was very cautious in all her financial expenditures. She needed to double-check every time she had to spend a relatively large amount of money. In addition, she couldn't do things like using money to砸人 (za ren - overwhelm people), because she didn't have that foundation.

Her early funding was highly dependent on the guild's allocation, and the reason why the Tenth Legion was so strong was because of its strong cohesion and the fact that everyone was willing to follow her.

At this time, the main ships of the three fleets approached, and there was a figure standing on the bow of each ship.

Standing on the main ship of the First Legion was a handsome young man, wearing a windbreaker, with shoulder-length hair tied up, and a gentle smile on his face. He was the First Legion's naval captain, Si Kong!

Standing on the main ship of the Second Legion was a sexy and mature beauty, wearing black silk stockings, a tight leather jacket, and a black hat. She was the Second Legion's naval captain, Tang Luo.

Standing on the main ship of the Seventh Legion was also a beauty, but when Qiancheng Xue saw the face of the person, her expression became even colder. The person who came was none other than Ye Wei!

Although her eldest brother, Ye Wuhen, and her second sister, Ye Haitang, attached great importance to this mission, they were preparing for the land offensive and couldn't leave, so they had no choice but to send their confidants.

But she didn't expect Ye Wei to come in person.

"Legion Commander Qiancheng Xue, I apologize for the intrusion. I am under the command of Legion Commander Ye Wuhen to come and join you for this battle."

Si Kong explained with a smile.

"Legion Commander Qiancheng Xue, I'm sorry for not informing you in advance. Sister Haitang was afraid that you would be fighting alone in this operation and that problems might easily arise, so she ordered us to come and fight together."

Tang Luo's words sounded very nice, and of course, these high-sounding words were no different from Si Kong's words.

"Mm."

Even though Qiancheng Xue was unwilling, she could only endure it.

At this time, Ye Wei said with a smile, "I say, little sister, your sister is really worried about you, so I came here in person. You shouldn't mind, right?"

"I think you're being a bit superfluous. Your little sister has her own sense of propriety."

Qiancheng Xue didn't give Ye Wei a good look at all. If it were before, she wouldn't have been like this. It was mainly because Ye Wei mentioned her mother at the council, which completely angered her.

Ye Wei sneered and waved her hand. "Little sister, don't be too arrogant. It's still safer for your sister to go with you. This mission is different from the past. Father has given a strict order to complete it, so don't get caught in a ditch."

"I'm very clear."

Qiancheng Xue replied in a deep voice.

"It's good that you're clear, then hurry up and prepare to set off, don't delay."

Ye Wei urged without any politeness.

Qiancheng Xue took a deep breath and turned her head to say to the sisters beside her.

"Notify Sun Li, tell her to hurry up."

"Okay."

.....

At this time, Lin Zinuo saw this and clicked on her wristband, quickly logging out of the game.

Inside a private room at Big Bone Restaurant, Su Mo was intently watching the video recorded by Zhang Hao.

Through the video screen, it could be seen that in an extremely hidden valley, there was a very short base. The exterior of the base had been specially treated, covering the surrounding environment with the same camouflage, so looking down from a high altitude, one probably wouldn't see any problems.
