The child in front of me seems to be much more flexible in his actions than I had imagined.
"Of course... there are prerequisites."
Xu Huan explained, "Cooperation must be completely under our control... Any potential risks must be eliminated."
"I'm not so easily trusting of the Sirens."
Chapter 108 The Method to Eliminate the Sirens
"Let's not talk about that, we've gone a bit off-topic." Realizing that the conversation had strayed a bit, Xu Huan coughed twice and brought the topic back to where it left off.
"Let's talk about how to deal with the Sirens first?"
"Hmm? I've already told you about the Sirens...child..."
As soon as Xu Huan finished speaking, Frederick opened his mouth slightly and followed up with a smile.
"Well....?"
Frederick seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words, and what he said left the young man somewhat confused about the current situation.
"What you said on the communication device... I promised, and I've already done it..."
Frederick stood up, his tall and voluptuous figure standing directly in front of the young man.
She leaned down, unintentionally revealing the perfect curve of her white, plump breasts that were covered by her breasts.
The ship girl patted Xu Huan's head, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at the young man: "The first message was free... and that quota is already used up, kid..."
I knew it wouldn't be that easy...
The young man sighed softly.
No matter what, it's someone else's confidential information; it's not something you can just casually reveal.
However, Xu Huan had prepared himself mentally for this possibility, so he wasn't too frustrated.
"Do you want to offer something in exchange? Or are there any demands..." Xu Huan asked tentatively, "If it requires something from the royal family, I can't guarantee anything..."
Since Frederick said it so bluntly, it also means that there is room for maneuver.
"...What royal stuff?"
Frederick shook his head, his long black hair sliding down his face, his dark golden eyes narrowing: "I want to have nothing to do with the royal family..."
Xu Huan saw his own reflection in the ship girl's eyes, as well as a look of longing.
"Huh? What's that—"
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
The ship girl extended her slender, pale finger and gently tapped the young man's forehead: "If you want to know... you'll have to offer yourself in exchange~"
"Myself?"
"Hmm... promise me one thing, child... and I will tell you everything."
"whats the matter?"
"As for this... I haven't thought about it yet, but it shouldn't do you any harm." As he spoke, Frederick's fingers slowly slid down the young man's face.
The neatly painted red nail polish on the fingertips seemed to casually glide across the face, lips, neck, and collarbone...
The pressure was just right, and the ticklish sensation made you want to make a sound.
Finally, it slowly came to rest below the lower abdomen.
She licked her red lips, a subtle smile curving her lips, and even her eyes seemed to light up with a hint of pink: "How is it?"
“…”
Xu Huan swallowed.
At such close range, he could even see every detail of Frederick's delicate skin very clearly.
That alluring body fragrance, fair and smooth skin, plump legs tightly wrapped in black stockings, and even the subtle curves of her breasts.
Everything about her was rich and delicate, and coupled with her unique gentle and approachable charm, it gave one the urge to pounce on her and be overwhelmed by her beauty.
Blatant seduction...
The young man understood that if he easily agreed to the other party's request under these circumstances, he would definitely be the one to suffer the consequences.
So, after taking two deep breaths to calm his inner turmoil, Xu Huan nodded.
"Okay... Frederick, please explain things clearly first. As for your request... I can agree to it if it's not excessive."
As the saying goes, if I don’t go to hell, who will?
As a commander, he had to grit his teeth and persevere through any difficulty in order to wipe out the Sirens.
"Okay... I've been waiting for you to say that, child."
Having achieved his goal, Frederick smiled with satisfaction and sat back down on the sofa.
"To completely eradicate the Sirens and prevent them from re-spawning on the sea... there is currently no solution. However, we do know some methods to minimize Siren activity at sea."
Frederick said, "The Abyss Sea...you must have heard of it, child?"
"Hmm? I saw it in the documents..."
The abyssal sea can be simply understood as the Sirens' 'port' or outpost.
A sea area is usually composed of several Siren fortresses. On that sea area, ship girls will have their combat performance reduced in all aspects.
If you want to regain your strength, you need to improve something that enhances your adaptability.
Adaptability is generally related to the ship girl's own strength and the commander's ability, and can also be improved by defeating the Siren fortresses in the Abyss Sea and accumulating corresponding combat experience.
“But before that, apart from a few occasional attempts, the major factions basically had no intention of venturing into that sea area,” Xu Huan said.
The Abyss Sea is located in many places in the entire ocean, but after a long period of observation, the ship girls found that it seems to be in a relatively fixed position and there is no risk of it spreading.
In addition, the risks of venturing into the abyss were too high, so they gradually gave up the idea of exploring the abyss.
"Yes, child..."
Frederick said slowly, "Bismarck once told me that the best way to reduce Siren activity in a sea area is to wipe out the nearby Siren fortresses... There are things there that can affect Siren activity."
"Elite humanoids might not be affected by this, but mass-produced sirens... will appear much less frequently and in smaller numbers."
The primary source of the invasions on the high seas was the endless, ever-present mass production of sirens.
If the problem of mass-produced sirens can be solved, then the threat of sirens will be reduced by more than half.
"Does that mean...we should take down their strongholds?"
"You could say that... The source of the information is the Sirens who collaborated with Bismarck... I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is."
"It's worth a try...it's better than having no clue at all..."
Xu Huan pondered for a moment and then made a decision.
"but...."
"But what?"
"To take down an entire abyssal sea, the minimum combat strength required... is at least the top combat forces from two factions working together... child."
Frederick said, "Without you, child, it's somewhat difficult to unite the forces of the two camps; otherwise... we would have made more attempts to explore the Abyss Sea."
"Keep up the good work... I'll always be watching you~"
Chapter 109 The Abandoned Child
The weather in the royal court is as changeable as turning the pages of a book.
Before Xu Huan entered the hotel, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. But when he came out after finishing his business with Frederick, the blue sky and white clouds had disappeared and were replaced by dark clouds and drizzle.
The rain-soaked tiles on the street faintly reflected the last rays of light from the sky. Xu Huan reached out and felt the coolness of the raindrops that secretly slipped through the eaves and landed on his palm before slowly taking out an umbrella from his storage device.
Ever since Aurora picked him up late at night last time, he has made it a habit to carry an umbrella with him.
Holding up his umbrella, the young man walked along the Royal Street, his mind filled with turmoil.
According to Frederick, at least the elite forces of two factions would be needed to deal with the Abyss Sea.
The royal family can certainly be considered one of them, but where can you find the other one?
Currently, the only ship girl factions I've had contact with, besides Little Octopus's Hurricane which doesn't really have much power, are Royal Navy and Ironblood.
"Iron Blood... seems much more difficult to deal with than the Royal Navy's ship girls..."
Xu Huan muttered to himself.
Especially Bismarck...
Putting everything else aside, just from Frederick's few words, one can tell how formidable this ship girl is. Without offering corresponding incentives, it would be difficult to persuade her to exert herself.
Xu Huan did not believe that he could directly command the other party simply because of his status as a commander, or that he could shake his body and exude an aura of dominance, causing the entire army to submit instantly.
It's best to just imagine something like this, which is similar to a plot in a science fiction novel...
"Next destination...should we check out the Ironbloods? But we need to take care of things with the Royals first...hmm?"
