The story of the black silk female knight

The man in green smiled insincerely:

"Let me give you a heads-up... Tia has already said that however much fun you've had here over the past month, you'll face severe punishment when you go back."

"It's just punishment... then it's fine, which means Tia wasn't really angry."

Valensa breathed a sigh of relief:

"Besides, Tia is very soft-hearted. She always says she's going to punish me severely and make me feel pain, but she usually ends up giving up halfway...hehe, so I'm not worried at all!"

"...Then you really are a scumbag!"

The woman in green seemed utterly speechless, refusing to say anything more, her eyes only showing more disdain.

"hey-hey."

Valensa didn't go overboard by acting innocent after getting the benefit; she just stuck out her tongue and forced herself to be serious.

"And what about official business?"

"It's the people from the Eastern Continent who have taken action."

When it came to serious matters, Qingyi immediately regained her calm tone:

“Just now, two small ships from the Central Continent Empire landed on the ice plains, and more than 100 people disembarked. It seems they want to cross the ice plains to this side… I’ve already told Tia about this, and Tia sent me to you to say that you should handle this matter.”

"As expected, the Central Continent Empire has already discovered the changes deep within the ice plains."

Valensa wasn't too surprised by the news:

Were those 100-plus men all soldiers? What was their strength?

"Their attire resembled that of ordinary civilians and adventurers, but the remarkable coordination and discipline they displayed upon landing was definitely at the military level, and the most elite kind at that."

After thinking for a moment, the woman in green said:

"And their strength... the strength of most people varies greatly. According to your current classification standards for cultivators, they range from candlelight to lighthouse."

There are also three experts at the Radiant Rank or higher, one Moon Radiant and two Star Radiant... and those two Star Radiant experts seem to be from your continent.

"We people from the mainland... well, those must be the traitors from the Sage's Tower."

Valensa frowned, lost in thought, and even stopped putting on her skirt. She sat on the edge of the bed in her shirt and pantyhose, the skirt still hanging near her knees.

"Should I take matters into my own hands and leave them all on the ice plains?"

After waiting for a while without hearing Valensa speak, Qingyi took the initiative to say:

"It might be hard to say in other places, but on the ice field, I'm still at least 9% confident I can wipe them all out."

"...No, let's not rush. This might be an opportunity for us as well."

Valensa was silent for a moment before waving her hand and continuing to put on her dress.

"With your abilities, Qingyi, can you find a way to hide the ruins in the center of the ice field so that they can come directly to us without discovering it?"

"Hide the heart of the ice field..."

The woman in green frowned and pondered for a moment before saying:

"I'm not very confident in completely hiding it, after all, there's a Moon-level expert among them, and it's difficult to completely deceive his senses."

However, I can use the ice field environment to disrupt their sense of direction, causing them to bypass the center of the ice field and come directly here, which would have the same effect?

"Disrupting your sense of direction...that works too."

Valensa thought about it again and then made a decision:

"Let's do it this way for now. The main goal is to prevent them from discovering the center of the ice field and to get directly to our side through the ice field... If they do discover the center of the ice field, then we'll take action and leave them all on the ice field. I'll also rush over immediately to cooperate with you and make sure everything goes smoothly."

"it is good."

As Qingyi disappeared from the screen, Valensa finally dressed herself, walked out of the room to say goodbye to the ship girls, and told them about her plans to leave.

Many of the ship girls had a look of reluctance in their eyes, clearly not satisfied with being comforted, but none of them spoke up to stop them, and they were all very obedient.

Regarding the future arrangements for these ship girls, Valensa has already reached a consensus with them through more than a month of in-depth communication.

Whether they were Lenia's minions or the Mist Demon Catastrophe before, they will only be Valensa's ship girls from now on, and will unconditionally obey all of the commander's orders, fighting only for the commander.

Considering that there were definitely spies from the Central Continent Empire active on the Frenoia continent, Valensa did not plan to let the ship girls make contact with the Allied Forces too early, and prepared to use the ship girls as a surprise force.

Of course, the powerful productivity of the ship girls after they embark on the correct technological path cannot be wasted. Valensa will have the ship girls find several islands in the deep sea to establish ports and factories, and help the Allied Forces mass-produce and process some precision parts for their new weapons.

The ship girls' deep-sea base is too far from the mainland. Even Tia's teleportation magic cannot bring Valensa back directly. Valensa still has to take a ship when she leaves.

Considering the speed of navigation, the ship girl who sent Valensa away this time was no longer Crimson No. 1, as the speed of a heavy-armored aircraft carrier is still too slow among ship girls.

Valensa will be accompanied by the destroyer ship girl Myo-huang 1. Her maximum speed on the water can reach about 350 knots per hour. She is also equipped with hypersonic missiles, and if necessary, Valensa can even ride on the missiles.

"Come and comfort us often when you have time, Commander?~~" xN

At the entrance and exit of the underwater base, the ship girls took turns kissing Valensa goodbye and rubbing against her as much as possible to replenish the commander's energy.

Azure 2 didn't reach Valenza until the very end. She had completely lost the aloof and dignified aura she had when she was lurking in human society; instead, she exuded charm from the inside out.

Like the other ship girls, she first hugged Valensa before pulling a black phone, still warm and fragrant with her body heat, from her collar and handing it to Valensa.

"I have already modified this according to the commander's design. Please keep it safe."

"So fast?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow in surprise, took the phone, and opened it immediately.

After booting up, there was no desktop filled with mini-program icons; instead, I was immediately taken to the familiar Kantai Collection game and arrived at the port's control interface.

However, the port area is no longer the original port area in the game, but this underwater base. Valensa can adjust the view by constantly swiping the screen with two fingers and can learn about everything in the base at any time through this phone.

The ship girls in the game's dock interface have all been replaced with Valencia's ship girls, and each ship girl's appearance and status are exactly the same as her current status.

Seeing this, Valensa swiped her finger again to operate the system, found the Azure 2 in the dock, opened it and entered the interaction interface, poking around on the Azure 2 through the screen.

"ah!"

Valensa was clearly poking the screen, but the real-world Azure 2 seemed to feel the same way, letting out a soft cry as her face turned pink and her eyes became watery, gradually filling with longing.

"Cough cough!"

Worried that she might not be able to leave if she continued testing, Valensa quickly turned off the special phone and put it away.

"Very good, I will use this to contact you often in the future."

"I'm glad you like it, Commander~~"

Azure 2 smiled sweetly, then stepped forward, took Valensa's arm, and gave her a kiss:

"However, compared to you contacting us this way, we would much rather you come and comfort us directly... This is just a temporary fix, and contacting us this way will only make us crave your help even more... By the time you actually come to comfort us, you might be exhausted."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being tired."

Valensa waved her hand, then turned and walked into the small submarine that Minghuang No. 1 had built:

"To collapse from exhaustion on the lap of a ship girl is my duty and obligation as a commander... but it is also my enjoyment and happiness."

Chapter 65 Imperial Spies

Arctic ice sheet.

About three months after Valensa resolved the Netherworld Catastrophe, the ultra-low temperature region in the center of the polar region, where even the air could only remain in a liquid state, disappeared.

The coldest part of the ice sheet is around -90 degrees Celsius, while the outermost edge is around -20 degrees Celsius, and most areas are between -40 and -70 degrees Celsius.

This environment can still be considered extremely cold and deadly, but it is far less dangerous for cultivators than before. With proper preparation and protection, it is still possible to traverse it.

At this moment, in the ice field, there was a group of about a hundred people walking forward. They were wearing completely different styles of cotton or leather clothes and were not moving in formation, but their movements were quite coordinated.

The leader was an elderly woman with gray hair and a few wrinkles on her face. She had the typical features of someone from the Eastern continent, and she was dressed in a luxurious purple mink coat. She carried a wooden cane and walked steadily through the wind and snow, making sure each step was firm and unwavering.

To the left and right of the old lady were two distinctly Frenoia faces, but they were also dressed in Eastern-style clothing, which looked somewhat comical and incongruous.

These three people seemed the most relaxed; the blizzard seemed to have no effect on them. The old woman even maintained a certain aura that could protect others and help them withstand the low temperatures of the ice field.

They have been hiking across the ice field for more than three days.

"The temperature seems to be rising?"

After walking a while longer, one of the two Frenoa continent people reached out, caught a few snowflakes falling from the sky, and licked them with his tongue:

"The temperature has indeed started to rise... It seems that the intelligence we received earlier was correct. The terrible natural disaster in the center of the ice field has been completely eliminated, and we have crossed the ice field."

Have we really crossed the heart of the ice sheet?

The old lady frowned:

"Then why haven't we encountered anything unusual along the way? Given how things were at the center of the ice field before, even if the trouble was resolved, there shouldn't have been nothing left behind."

“But we have indeed crossed the ice plains, Granny.”

Another face from the Frenoa continent respectfully chimed in, simultaneously conjuring up a map projection with his hands:

"According to my location spell, we were indeed teleported directly from the center of the ice field. If we continue for another half a day at most, we will be able to enter America."

"As for your question about why there are no unusual things in the center of the ice field, I suppose it has already been dealt with by the people here."

The Frenoa-faced man who spoke first echoed:

"After all, according to intelligence, the Netherworld Calamity was resolved more than a year ago... No matter what was in the center of the Ice Plains, more than a year is enough time for it to be emptied and cleaned up."

"That's it..."

The old lady's puzzled expression eased slightly:

"Are you sure you can get into America quietly? You know we're here for intelligence work, so we should try to avoid taking action if possible."

"Don't worry, Granny."

The face representing the Frenoa continent, projected by hand on a map, smiled confidently:

"I've been in the Sage's Tower for over a hundred years, and I still have some connections in America. I also know a lot about the outposts on the border of their ice field... As long as the money is right, even if we have twice as many people, we can easily sneak in."

"……it is good."

The old woman said nothing more, gently tapped the snow-covered ground with her cane, and then led the group back towards America.

Half a day passed quickly.

At this point, the temperature on the ice field was only around -20 degrees Celsius, a temperature that ordinary people could withstand as long as they wore thick clothes. There was no need for the old lady to maintain her aura to protect the team anymore.

The entire team had already changed into their new clothes, and now their outfits showed no trace of any Eastern continent elements, with their faces almost entirely covered by thick hoods.

The outpost between America and the ice field is not far ahead.

"...Why are there so few people?"

The Frenoa-faced man, who was preparing to be questioned at the checkpoint, frowned slightly in confusion, but quickened his pace and walked towards the checkpoint ahead of the rest of the group.

The outpost, which should have been guarded by hundreds of soldiers, now has fewer than 20 people.

The soldiers in front of the sentry post sat on the ground, leaning against the post wall. Almost everyone held a wine jug in their hand. They huddled together in groups of two or three, looking at pamphlets with covers featuring hot women, and making strange noises as they read.

This situation puzzled the traitor of the Sage's Tower.

I have only been a defector for less than two years. How did the once brave and responsible American border guards degenerate into such a state?

Despite his doubts, the traitor from the Sage's Tower still walked to the checkpoint, smiled politely at a soldier who was clearly a squad leader, and handed him a small storage pouch:

"We are an adventure team looking for opportunities to make a fortune on the icy plains. This is a tax for everyone; could you please make an exception..."

"let's go."

Before the traitor from the Sage's Tower could finish speaking, the sentry captain impatiently waved his hand and took the small storage pouch, stuffing it into his clothes.

"You adventurers are such troublemakers. You don't know what's so great about that frozen wasteland. All you think about is making money there... You're just keeping me from looking at my picture books of beautiful women."

"..."

The traitor in the Sage's Tower was speechless, but the deed was done, and he couldn't ask any more questions that might arouse suspicion. He could only gesture back, indicating that the old lady should lead the team through the checkpoint.

The old lady and most of the people in the group were still very cautious. They secretly gripped their weapons tightly as they passed through the checkpoint, ready to deal with any attack at any time.

But it turned out they were overthinking it. The soldiers guarding the checkpoint were either fast asleep against the wall, reeking of alcohol, or chuckling strangely while looking at a booklet of pretty girls, completely ignoring the hundreds of people passing through the checkpoint.

"...Hmph, as expected, it is a barbarian country."

After passing the checkpoint to a certain distance, the old lady snorted disdainfully:

"Such a corrupt military discipline is absolutely no match for the Imperial cavalry; they will inevitably become nourishment for the Empire."

"You're right, Granny." x2
