The Naval Base of the Unnamed Ship Girls

Despite their tough talk, Skybreaker and Orgrimmar's Hammer didn't look like they would never give up or surrender; instead, they looked like they were terrified.

"Uh..." A somewhat bewildered Adun sighed, used a little psionic energy to calm the spirits of Skybreaker and Orgrimmar's Hammer, and then asked, "Why do you say I am the Burning Legion?"

With Adun's reassurance, the two ghost ship girls, finally emerging from the despair brought on by fear, were finally able to speak their minds clearly.

"Stop pretending! Even if you change the color and materials, we'll still recognize your Burning Legion warships even if they turn to ashes."

"That's right, they kept it from us for so long."

"..." Adun didn't say anything, just looked at the two ghost ship girls with a calm expression.

Seeing that Adun had not expressed any opinion, Hyperion, who served as the secretary ship to the governor of Adun, immediately spoke up:

"Although I don't know what you two little brats are talking about, the Burning Legion, even if Adun really is the Burning Legion, you two, as ship girls summoned by Adun and having signed a contract with Adun, are still considered part of it, aren't you?"

Hyperion's words were like tearing off a fig leaf, laying bare the bloody reality before Little Bro and Little O.

The two ghost ship girls, who had calmed down considerably under Adun's psychic powers, suffered another mental breakdown.

Seeing Little Bro and Little O crying their eyes out, Adun rolled his eyes at Hyperion.

"Am I wrong?" Hyperion shrugged, seemingly unfazed by Adun's expression.

So, in order to make Skybreaker and Orgrimmar's Hammer face reality and come back from the brink of complete collapse, Adun imbued his fist with a layer of psionic energy and gave the two ghost ship girls a lesson with an iron fist.

Adun's ruthless actions made Hyperion, who was often beaten, cover his eyes and couldn't bear to watch. Wo-chan and Xiao Ai were even more shocked by Adun's calm and ruthless manner.

Before being nearly blasted into ghost scum by Adun, the two ghost ship girls finally calmed down and accepted the reality that they had truly become members of the Burning Legion.

“I’ve already said, I have no connection whatsoever with the Burning Legion of your world,” Adun said solemnly.

Chapter 433 It's Really No Related

After a series of unique back-and-forth explanations, Adun finally understood why the two ghost ship girls, Skybreaker and Hammer of Orgrimmar, were so terrified when they saw her true form.

It turns out that Adun's true form was mistaken by Xiao Po and Xiao Ao as the Burning Legion's destroyer from their world.

The Burning Legion is a group of ultimate bosses in the universe where these two ghost ship girls are located. Their mission is to destroy the world, and they have been working diligently for tens of thousands of years without stopping.

Both the Skybreaker and the Hammer of Orgrimmar, possessing savior-like properties, have encountered the Burning Legion, and judging from their reactions, these two ships have likely suffered losses at the hands of the Burning Legion.

Given that the two ghost ship girls are actually warships that have already been sunk in battle, it's possible that they were sunk by the Burning Legion.

If that's the case, then it explains why the Skybreaker and the Hammer of Orgrimmar were so terrified when they mistook Adun's true form for the Burning Legion's destroyer.

"It's not a misunderstanding! It's true! Although you look a little different from other destroyer warships, I can sense that... Commander, you are from the Burning Legion."

After being thoroughly beaten up, Skybreaker, realizing why the Fireflowers of Ironforge were so red, shrank back and said.

"Feeling?" Adon asked curiously, rubbing his fist.

"Yeah, it's just a feeling! Both Little Broken and I can sense that you, Overseer, are from the Burning Legion. Speaking of which... now that we've seen through you, shouldn't you offer us your blood?"

For some reason, Orgrimmar's Hammer, who, like Skybreaker, was almost beaten into ghostly scum, is more accepting of the fact that he may have joined the Burning Legion.

"Drink blood?" Adun was somewhat puzzled.

"Huh? Isn't there one? Wait, it seems like I and Little Broken are warships, so should we be fed fuel?" Orgrimmar's Hammer was caught in a dilemma.

Although neither Adun nor Hyperion knew what the two ghost ship girls were struggling with.

Seeing that the explanations given by these two ghost ship girls were too subjective and not very meaningful, Adun thought for a while and then gave Hyperion a look.

Knowing what Adun meant, Sheriff Hyperion once again took out paper and pen and said to Skybreaker and Orgrimmar's Hammer:

"Come here, all of you. Describe the Burning Legion warships you've seen, and I'll draw them, just like you described those Eredars last time."

The description of a warship's appearance is much simpler than the description of its species, and the Hyperion, being a warship itself, is more professional when drawing warships.

So this time, in just one-third of the time it took to draw the Eredar, Hyperion, with the help of Broken and Ogre, drew sketches of the Burning Legion's warships from various angles.

After receiving confirmation from the Skybreaker and the Hammer of Orgrimmar, Hyperion sighed and said:

"I thought I could dig up some dark history of the Protoss, what a pity."

After saying that, Hyperion patted the two ghost ship girls on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, these warships have nothing to do with your admiral's creator. The art style is completely different, okay?"

Upon hearing what Hyperion said, Adun picked up a drawing of the Burning Legion's warships, glanced at it, and immediately exclaimed "Eek!"

Startled by Adun's "Eek!", Hyperion quickly asked, "You don't mean this thing is really a Protoss creation??"

Without answering Hyperion's question, Adun picked up Hyperion and drew all the sketches, carefully examining each one of the Burning Legion warships from various angles.

After reading it, Adun asked the two ghost ship girls, "I remember when you introduced your homeland before, you mentioned that some Eredar people joined the Burning Legion?"

"Yes, that's right. Apart from Master Velen leading a small group of Eredar who called themselves Draenei on a journey of wandering with the help of the Naaru, the Eredar who remained on their homeworld Argus joined the Burning Legion."

When Skybreaker saw Adun's expression, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that even if his commander wasn't a Burning Legion warship, he was still closely connected to the Burning Legion.

“Argus? Velen…” Adun repeated the name the Skybreaker had uttered, then spoke two words in Protoss before asking, “Are there these two among the Eredar?”

"Archimonde?? Kil'jaeden??" Although the Protoss pronunciation was a bit strange, Skybreaker and Hammer of Orgrimmar still managed to pronounce the two names.

“Tsk…” Adun finally confirmed that those Eredar were indeed Protoss who had been stranded in a foreign land. These two words were not names in the ancient Protoss language, but rather titles for expeditionary sergeants and military staff officers.

"Uh, could it be that you Protoss really did something like destroying the world, Adun?" Hyperion felt like his worldview was about to collapse.

In Hyperion's memory, the three main Protoss clans in his home sector, Koprulu—the Khalai, the Nerazin, and the Taldarim—regardless of their civilization structure, all had the kind of personality that wouldn't bother with lower-level civilizations if they had nothing better to do.

There is absolutely no destructive power like tearing people apart on sight. Even the most brutal Taldarim will only ignore you if you don't provoke them.

“No,” Adon replied decisively.

"Does the Burning Legion have a lot to do with you Protoss?" the Hyperion asked the two ghost shipgirls who had already entered self-pity mode.

"It's alright." Adon's answer was still decisive, immediately bringing Xiao Po and Xiao Ao, who were almost turned to ashes, back to their senses.

Seeing the curious looks on her three ship girls, Adun continued, "However, those Burning Legion warships did use some Protoss technology."

As he spoke, Adun picked up the blueprints in his hand and said, "If my memory bank is correct, these warships existed before the War of All Ages. They were used as the main warships by many clans during the War of All Ages, but they were later phased out due to outdated technology."

Adun paused for a moment, glanced at the two ghost shipgirls, Skybreaker and Hammer of Orgrimmar, and continued, "Although they are ancient warships, they all used the Protoss' own crystal technology at the time, rather than being a gift from the Xel'Naga. They are essentially the progenitor models of later Protoss warships."

"So it's understandable that you mistake me for a warship of your world's Burning Legion. After all, even if they are primitive, those warships still have a certain Protoss style."

"Phew..." Upon hearing Adun's explanation, both Little Bro and Little O simultaneously let out a long sigh, but unfortunately, no air escaped from their ghostly bodies. As ghosts, they didn't need to breathe. (Non-ghost ship girls don't need to either!)

"I'm already mentally prepared..." Skybreaker said, indicating that he had accepted his preparation to become the Burning Legion's Skybreaker.

"Yeah, yeah, it's just a sip of blood!" Although Orgrimmar's Hammer said this, there was still a sense of relief in his tone.

Adun merely raised an eyebrow at this, without expressing his doubts about the "fel energy" used by the Burning Legion.

The green flame energy sounds so much like the green primal psionic energy in the Xel'Naga ruins, doesn't it?

☆, Chapter 434 How was the Governor's Mansion built?

After resolving the issues with Little E and the two ghost ship girls, Adun and Hyperion discussed a new topic.

"What kind of building do you think would be good for the Governor's Mansion?"

Just before Adun and Hyperion flew to find Einstein, the Enterprise sent Adun a message, asking him to decide how to rebuild the new Governor's Palace.

Although Enterprise repeatedly said that if Aden didn't want to go through the trouble, he could just make a suggestion and leave the rest to her.

However, Ardon still felt it was better to create things that matched his own aesthetic sense.

"Need I say more? Let's set up a hub for you Protoss." Hyperion suggested without any hesitation.

"A Protoss Nexus? That seems pretty good." Adun nodded, then said, "However, using all the resources of this world to build it seems a bit inefficient."

Moreover, even if there were enough resources, if he were to convert them all himself, Aden wouldn't have a single spare moment for the next two weeks.

Even if they built more probes, those probes couldn't carry the Protoss's most advanced matter conversion array, and Adun would have to solve all the material problems himself.

"Cost-effectiveness, huh..." Hyperion also knew the conversion rate of resources in this world and the Protoss's use of resources to rip off ships: "But this is the capital of the war zone, so resources shouldn't be lacking."

"There are indeed many, but I don't know the exact number." Without the shielding of the Retribution Sign, Adun could sense through the phase array system that a lot of materials had sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the collapse of the Central Academy.

However, for the ship girls in this world, as long as they don't sink into the deep sea territory, there's no difference between them sinking to the bottom of the sea and being placed on land.

"Then let's ask someone," Hyperion said, holding the back of his head with both hands.

“Okay.” Ardon nodded and waved to Wo-chan and Little E, saying, “Come closer to me.”

At the same time, the two ghost ship girls, Skybreaker and Hammer of Orgrimmar, who had resolved the trust crisis, were returned to his body.

Watching Little Broken and Little O dart into Adun's body, Little E, who had inexplicably come closer, asked, "What... what's going on with those two... ship girls?"

"I forgot to put in the resources when I used the construction tool to summon them, so they only have souls and no bodies, so they can be considered ghost ship girls," Adun explained to Little E in a very calm tone.

"Ah! A ghost?? Could it be... a demon?" Adon's words startled Little E.

"You could say that, but are deep-sea ship girls also afraid of ghosts?" Adon was a little puzzled by Little E's reaction.

"No, it's not that I'm afraid of ghosts, I was just startled." Little Ai said, how could a deep-sea ship girl be afraid of ghosts? Didn't you see that those deep-sea ship girls who failed to evolve halfway turned into demon princesses?

Xiao Ai kept reassuring herself to keep her legs from shaking so badly.

"Wo-chan, help Little E. She might be a little unaccustomed to warp jumps for the first time," Adun said to Wo-chan, noticing that Little E was quite frightened by the two ghost ship girls.

After responding with "wo," wo-chan immediately hugged Xiao Ai tightly.

"Be gentle, or you'll break her keel before she can warp in," Adun sighed, as blue warp circles appeared beneath the feet of all four ship girls.

"Wo" obediently let go of her arm, and Little Ai, who had just escaped death, quickly moved away from her captain.

Then the four ship girls shattered into a pile of blue mosaics. A few seconds later, these mosaics appeared on the deck of a battleship that was being used as a temporary governor's mansion, and reassembled into Adun and her ship.

Unlike other warships filled with refugees, this battleship, with its North Carolina hull, served as a temporary central government and therefore carried no refugees other than the ship girls coming and going. Similarly, the Akagi hull next to the North Carolina hull did not carry many people.

Apart from the central government agencies and the governor's office, which were located on the hull of the North Residence, all other essential government agencies were sunbathing on the deck of the Akagi.

The Enterprise, however, did not summon its own hull, mainly because its modifications were incomplete.

As soon as the warp-in force field disappeared, the captain of the guard, seeing Adun and his ship appear, immediately shouted:

"The Governor-General has arrived! Salute!!"

In an instant, all the active-duty ship girls and busy civil servants on the warship stopped what they were doing and saluted Adun in unison.

Adun gestured for the mostly ship girls, who were acting as government officials, to get back to work. Enterprise and North Carolina, noticing Adun's arrival, immediately emerged from their cabins and, after exchanging the same salute with the officials and guards, Enterprise spoke first:

"I've already given those ship girls a gag order, so there won't be any misunderstandings."
