“Judging from the radar, the enemy's forces are not on the same level as ours, so there shouldn't be much of a problem."

"Yeah."

"Report, two light frigates have been scanned ahead, and a patrol boat has been scanned on the side. We are closing the distance."

Chen Xijie also reported.

"Maintain the distance, deploy optical imaging mode. I want to see those three ships."

Qiancheng Xue issued the order calmly.

"Understood!"

Chen Xijie quickly operated the controls.

Soon, images appeared, showing three somewhat old ships. The players on those ships saw the Helan (Crane Orchid) approaching from behind and curiously ran to the deck to watch.

Many people pointed at the Helan (Crane Orchid) with joy, their mouths open as if they were saying something, and they waved their arms vigorously.

"What do you think they're saying, so excited?"

Lin Zinuo asked curiously.

At this time, Su Mo, who was usually taciturn, said faintly, "They are exclaiming, 'Look, it's the Helan (Crane Orchid)! Oh my god, it really is the Helan (Crane Orchid)! We are bound to win this time, I didn't expect even the Helan (Crane Orchid) to participate in the battle...'"

"Really? Su Mo, are you just making this up?"

Lin Zinuo looked at Su Mo with a confused expression.

Su Mo just glanced at Lin Zinuo and didn't bother to argue!

"He's right, that's what I can interpret from their lip movements."

When Qiancheng Xue confirmed Su Mo's words, she couldn't help but take another look at him. Lip reading requires specialized training, and she didn't expect Su Mo to know it too.

At this moment, Zi Qing suddenly said to Qiancheng Xue, "Report, a submarine has been scanned in our southwest area, approaching us, and has also sent a communication request."

"A submarine? Which player's? That's amazing."

Han Na and the others began to discuss.

"Connect the communication."

Qiancheng Xue said calmly.

Soon the communication was connected, and a very authentic northern accent sounded.

"You guys are the Helan (Crane Orchid), right? It's so exciting to meet you, you're my idol!"

"Who are you?"

Qiancheng Xue did not speak to the other party in an overbearing manner.

"I'm Shi Tai from the Sinan Guild. We admire you very much. Please let us fight alongside you!"

Shi Tai replied excitedly.

At this time, Chen Xijie lowered her voice and said to Qiancheng Xue, "The Sinan Guild is a small guild with only a little over a thousand people. This guild is quite active on the forum."

Qiancheng Xue said faintly to the other party, "Thank you, but we don't have any intention of joining up with anyone else for the time being. Please don't get any closer to us, maintain a safe distance."

"Just let us go with you. We want to follow you to kill the enemy. And don't get me wrong, we didn't intentionally approach you, it's just that this is the only route to the enemy's sea lane."

Shi Tai explained.

Hearing Shi Tai's words, Qiancheng Xue signaled Zi Qing to temporarily block the communication on her end.

Zi Qing immediately complied. After blocking the communication, Zi Qing said, "They are still approaching us!"

"Prepare torpedoes!"

Qiancheng Xue replied with a cold look in her eyes. She didn't believe the other party at all.

"Wait~ Xue-jie, are we going to sink them?"

Sun Li couldn't react for a moment, and she quickly asked.

"I've already given them a warning, and how can a small guild have weapons like submarines?"

Qiancheng Xue said with very cold eyes.

"Xue-jie, you're right, but these are just guesses! We don't have any substantive evidence. You have to remember that Lin Zinuo and the others also miraculously obtained the Helan (Crane Orchid) back then. If we rashly sink them, and this matter is posted online, it will have very bad consequences."

Sun Li quickly advised.

Qiancheng Xue frowned, seeming to have a bit more concern.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Su Mo suddenly stepped forward, pressed the button to cancel the blocked communication, and said familiarly.

"Brother, your voice sounds very young, I didn't expect you to be so promising at such a young age, and have a patriotic heart."

"You're flattering me, this is what we should do, and we are just doing our bit."

"Don't say that, even small people can achieve great things. I admire you very much. I'll treat you to dinner after the battle is over."

"That's too embarrassing."

"What's so embarrassing about it? I know a restaurant that has top-quality fish. How do you like it cooked?"

"Grilled fish is pretty good, very fragrant..."

Shi Tai talked endlessly about how delicious grilled fish was.

At this moment, Su Mo suddenly raised his tone by eight octaves and said fiercely: “バカヤロー、魚は刺身が一番うまい (Bakayarō, the best way to eat fish is as sashimi, you bastard!)."

Shi Tai replied reflexively: "は! (Ha! Yes!)"

As soon as these words came out, both sides were silent.

Su Mo turned his head and said to Zi Qing, "Identification complete, you can take them out!"

Everyone also looked at Su Mo with a dumbfounded expression.

"What are you still doing?"

Zi Qing didn't say a word and directly pressed the torpedo launch button. In fact, the other party was indeed very bold to dare to approach the Helan (Crane Orchid). You have to know that the overall performance of the Helan (Crane Orchid) is actually closer to a destroyer type. It has powerful radar and various missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes, and can be called a submarine killer! It can directly sink submarines from a long distance outside the opponent's range.

At this time, although the other party hurriedly tried to evade, there was no accident, and it was directly hit.

The red dot on the radar suddenly disappeared.

Lin Zinuo and the others looked at Su Mo in disbelief: "You can speak Japanese?"

"What's so strange about that? I know a lot more than that. You don't think I'm a spy too, do you?"

Su Mo looked at Lin Zinuo and the others with interest.

"We're not fools!"

Lin Zinuo replied a little angrily.

At this moment, suddenly the Helan (Crane Orchid) sounded an alarm, Qiancheng Xue asked calmly.

"What's the situation?"

Zi Qing said with a slightly changed expression: "A large number of scattered red dots have been scanned at the edge of the radar."

Su Mo, who was on the side, looked at the red dots displayed on the radar and reminded in a deep voice, "No, they are not scattered! The other party is surrounding us in a net-like formation. We have entered the encirclement. Just now, we must have disturbed the snake in the grass. The other party is closing the net."

"What should we do? Should we rush out?"

Lin Zinuo asked anxiously.

At this time, Qiancheng Xue made a calm decision: "Change course, we will deviate towards the main force, and meet up with them. At the same time, send them a warning message."

Qiancheng Xue's thinking was exceptionally clear. No matter how strong the Helan (Crane Orchid) was, it would probably be difficult to break out alone. Since this is the case, it is better to join up with the prey that has fallen into the trap and find a way to break out together to see who is tougher, them or the other party.

They can forget about swallowing them easily. They would have to make the other party pay the price.

Of course, Qiancheng Xue also blamed herself a little. She was still careless and underestimated the other party. She thought that the other party would have an ambush, but she didn't expect the other party to have such a big appetite and weave such a large net.

"Understood!"

Zi Qing and others responded immediately.

"Combat alert level one! All combat players enter standby status, all repairmen take their positions."

"Yes!"
