Wang Yu waved his hand, signaling York to take that thing away.
York dared to grab it with her bare hands and play with it so carelessly, but his small body wouldn't dare to try that.
Getting pinched wasn't a joke.
Wang Yu looked at Gascogne beside him; Gascogne's castle was almost finished, undergoing the final procedures.
Seeing Gascogne's serious and adorable look, Wang Yu couldn't help but pull out his phone and snap several photos of Gascogne.
To commemorate Da Jia Jia's first sandcastle in this world!
After careful appreciation, 'Hmm, this one's not bad. I'll frame it and put it on my desk later.'
Wang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Perfect sandcastle, perfect shot, perfect person—a perfect moment!
Seeing Gascogne finally complete her sandcastle, Wang Yu gave Gascogne a thumbs-up in appreciation, then walked over and took Gascogne's hand. Even while building the sandcastle, Gascogne's gauntlets hadn't been removed. He wondered how she managed to build such an exquisite sandcastle while wearing gauntlets.
Is this talent? He felt a bit discouraged.
He had already been forcibly kissed by Da Jia Jia, but even now, he hadn't held her hand. Her steel gauntlets perfectly blocked his improper intentions.
No gloves allowed during break time!
"Glorious's snacks must be ready. Let's go, let's go, let's eat something first. I'm starving!" Calling out to York, Wang Yu prepared to head back for a feast.
Eat, eat, eat! As long as he didn't die from being fat, he'd eat until he burst!
"Commander, did you have fun?" Glorious saw Wang Yu approach, then tilted her head to look at where Wang Yu and Gascogne had been building sandcastles. Sure enough, she only saw the magnificent sandcastle Gascogne had built.
Where Wang Yu's sandcastle should have been, there were only a few shapeless piles of sand, scooped up by a shovel.
"It looks like Commander won a big victory. This castle is both grand and beautiful."
"No, Glorious sister, that's Gascogne sister's. Commander's is the one next to it, that mysterious thing."
This silly child is beyond help...
Wang Yu ignored Glorious's teasing.
Isn't this obvious? How dare she mock the Commander like that? If you can't fill me up later, this Commander won't let you off easily.
After cleaning up, Wang Yu couldn't hold back any longer.
Colorful snacks and food were laid out on the pristine white tablecloth, and the glass cups were filled with rose wine.
The last few rays of afternoon light elegantly spilled onto the tablecloth, bathing it in a light golden hue.
After playing for so long, Wang Yu was already hungry, and now his appetite was in full swing.
After a hearty meal, Wang Yu leaned back in his chair, satisfied, quietly enjoying the last of the afternoon sun.
This is the life a Commander should enjoy!
A loud "woo" echoed through the sky, as a piercing alarm suddenly blared from the port's alarm system. The sharp wail rippled out of the port like waves, reverberating across the entire island. Birds startled in the jungle. On the beach, the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere was shattered.
What's going on?
Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat. He carefully distinguished the alarm sound; this sound was...
"Confirmed as a Level Three alarm, danger level assessed as low. Commander, please return to the Command Center immediately for operational command. Gascogne is ready and can sortie at any time."
A Level Three alarm means that enemy activity has been detected, and the enemy's scale is relatively small. It typically refers to an alarm triggered when scattered Siren Fleets are detected within the defensive sea area.
Such an alarm indicates a low level of crisis, or that there is a hidden threat requiring investigation. If it weren't for the fact that no one is currently stationed in the port, such an alarm might not even sound.
However, since all of them were on the outskirts of the port, once the enemy's traces were discovered, the Manjuu remaining in the Command Center activated the alarm immediately.
He pulled out his phone and, sure enough, saw that the Command Center had already sent a message, indicating the presence of suspected Siren Fleets in the surrounding sea area.
Wang Yu looked at Glorious and Gascogne, whose expressions were calm, and York, whose face held a faint hint of excitement.
The slight panic in his heart quickly dissipated. There was nothing to fear!
"Glorious, Gascogne, go replenish your combat resources and be ready to sortie at any time." He then glanced at the somewhat restless York: "York, you come with me to the Command Center to guard my safety. The situation is unclear, so don't act rashly."
He had to keep York by his side, otherwise, that mischievous little fellow might secretly sneak out.
Ship Girls obey the Commander's orders, but that doesn't mean they won't make mistakes or commit other overstepping actions. Given York's naughtiness, she might not directly participate in battle without orders, but she would definitely sneak around near the combat zone to observe the battle.
At York's current level, if she were to be accidentally grazed by a battleship's main gun, she would probably be gone instantly.
It's safer to keep her by his side!
Even if he wanted York to fight, she would at least need to be adequately trained. He didn't have to be like other Commanders who had no ships to use. There was no need to let a young one like York, who hadn't grown up yet, take risks.
York drooped her head, listlessly following behind Wang Yu. Wang Yu felt even more strongly that his intuition was correct; York, you really weren't planning on being well-behaved.
However, at least York wouldn't contradict him at a critical moment. For now, he wouldn't bother with her, but later he would have Gascogne double her training volume.
He had originally thought Gascogne was a bit strict and had planned to plead for her.
Now, hehehe!
Train, train her hard. And Gascogne shouldn't just take hits without fighting back; York's resistance to blows also needs to be practiced a bit.
If he didn't teach her a lesson, she wouldn't know her place. You weren't honest, and naughty children really do need a beating to learn their lesson.
Driving frantically back to the Command Center, Wang Yu finally got a clear view of the current situation on the sea area projection.
Indeed, there were only scattered small Siren units. Such Siren Fleets are common on the sea year-round. They have no goal or direction on the vast ocean and are naturally attracted by the signal waves emitted by various activated devices in the port. They drift within the defensive sea areas of various ports and will launch attacks once they approach a port or ship.
Therefore, ports need to regularly clear their garrison sea areas to prevent an excessive accumulation of Sirens from posing a significant threat to the port and shipping lanes.
He looked at the other intelligence on the sea area projection and found no other Siren Fleets for the time being.
The Headquarters'garrison Fleet should have already detected the Sirens' presence and was now moving towards the Sirens' direction. It was estimated that a formal engagement would begin in no more than 10 minutes!
