Chapter 997 Helena's Judgment
The command ship floated on the dark red sea. Apart from the dark clouds and the red stone pillars that appeared suddenly on the sea from time to time, the sea area seemed a little deserted.
Several days have passed since we left the fortress base, and all operations are currently progressing steadily.
After arriving at the destination , Bismarck and others wanted to leave a guard to escort Qin Ge. After all, if the Siren Fleet suddenly appeared in this sea area, leaving only one command ship here would definitely be a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
However, Qin Ge waved his hand and refused. He only left Glory and Helena, of course, Helena from Ember. He told everyone not to worry, because there will be more ship girls from Ember who will travel through the world and come to this world to participate in this final battle.
Although Qin Ge said so, the other ship girls still carefully confirmed with Helena that this was indeed the case, and only then did they leave with peace of mind.
Of course, they were not too far away, because the nearest fleet was only a few dozen kilometers away. So as long as there was a problem here, these ship girls could provide support at any time.
Originally Qin Ge said no, but Bismarck said this was their bottom line, so Qin Ge had no choice but to agree.
Therefore, the current situation arises. The command ship moves accordingly with the fleet in front, but also keeps a safe distance.
"Commander, there is a new Embers ship girl coming. I remember that I didn't inform you about this. I don't know how you knew about it?"
Helena sat next to Qin Ge, staring at him with her scarlet eyes. Compared to her usual calmness and composure, there seemed to be a different emotion in her eyes now.
Qin Ge laughed, "Is anyone really coming? I just heard Bismarck and the others say that. It seems I got the upper hand unexpectedly ."
"Ah?" Guanghui, who was not far away, raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him in surprise. "Commander, it turns out that you didn't know whether anyone from Ember was coming, and Helena didn't tell you anything? Everything you said before was to make Bismarck and the others not worry?"
Qin Ge smiled and nodded , "Yes, they are good in everything, but sometimes, they just can't let me go. This will affect their performance on the battlefield, so instead of doing this, it is better to find such an excuse so that they can completely let go of their worries and give their best on the battlefield."
Helena's lips curled up into a smile, "I'm afraid it's not just that? Commander, tell me honestly, do you already know something?
From your last reply to Bismarck and the others, to your attitude towards us now, all these things prove that you understand us... no, or rather, you understand our purpose."
"Ah?" Qin Ge was stunned for a moment, pretending to know nothing, "I don't think I know you very well, of course, I know a little bit from our daily interactions, but isn't your goal to restore the world to normal?
It is for this purpose that we work together, and even you join my port area."
"Commander, you lied." Helena smiled faintly, "Although I haven't been by your side for a long time, every time you lie, or every time you feel guilty, you can't help but blink.
Although this habit is not good, I still hope to keep it, because only in this way can I know if the commander is hiding something from me and whether he treats me with the most sincere heart. "
Qin Ge was startled, then turned to look at Guanghui beside him, "Is there?"
Guanghui shook his head and said with a smile, "I didn't pay attention to such small details. Or rather, because I trust the commander, everything you said is true to me. I won't imagine that you are telling lies."
Qin Ge couldn't help but smile, "Because there's no need for me to lie to you."
"Although it is very touching to see you trust each other, it seems to have nothing to do with what we are talking about now." Helena interrupted, "So what do you know, Commander?
Logically speaking, it is the safest choice for you to stay in the base fortress now. It is said that not all the information of the sea area can be seen there, but it can also ensure that the fleet can exert its maximum strength under remote command.
But now you have come here, and apart from your secretary ship, you have left me alone by your side. It seems that all this is filled with your trust in me, but I smell something else in this trust.
Have you met that person yet?"
Helena's words made Qin Ge's eyes tighten, and he immediately explained, "That person? What are you talking about?"
"Haha, it seems that my guess was correct. This is a carefully arranged game. According to the information you know, you will be trapped in this cocoon forever until the last moment, when the mystery is revealed.
But what you are showing now is a bit hard for me to understand. You have already jumped out of this cocoon.
I believe that there is no one in this world who can reveal the answers to all these questions to you without any of us knowing, but perhaps there is in other worlds." Helena looked at Qin Ge and smiled.
"Obviously, that gentleman has already revealed the whole thing in advance using a method unknown to us. Although he won't tell you the exact details, he will give you a general idea of the direction.
So much so that from the beginning to now, your trust in us and your attitude towards Antiks have begun to change under the influence of this consciousness.
So I am right, Commander."
Qin Ge suddenly laughed, "Haha, I knew you would figure it out one day, because I'm not good at acting after all, and there's a gap between me and you professional actors."
Helena's eyes lit up. "Does this count as an admission?"
"Do you know why I asked you to stay?" Qin Ge did not answer, but said to Helena, "Your ability to perceive and collect information is too strong. I even think that when I sent that message to Bismarck, you already had some doubts, right?"
"That's right. As a normal commander, the ship girls under your command did not perform to their full potential. What you should have done was to ask, but you didn't. Instead, you chose to believe it, as if you knew this would happen from the very beginning." Helena looked at Qin Ge and said.
"Haha, but what I don't understand is that since you already knew, why did you choose not to tell them? Aren't they the people you cherish the most?"
"Yes, that's why I want them to take this opportunity to grow. I can't predict what the future will be like, but what I can do is to make them stronger so that they can stand out in the future world."
"That's really a good idea. So, do you think I should pass this information back or just cover it up?"
Helena looked at Qin Ge with a playful smile on her face.
