21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 766 - 762 Negotiation (Please Subscribe, Request Monthly Tickets)

The ship-girls summoned by Chen Yu, due to their unique nature as military vessels, were able to utilize the modern human communication networks. They could contact each other at any corner of the world via human satellites, and their demigod essence ensured that their communication remained undetected by humans.

The distress signal Hood had just sent out was conveyed in this manner to the other ship-girls scattered around the world. Through the Necromantic Space as an intermediary, they could appear beside any ship-girl in need at any moment.

However, with the other ship-girls all on missions and dispersed across the globe, Hood did not expect them to arrive in time to provide reinforcements.

But unexpectedly, it was not Bismarck, whom she had hoped would come from Europe, who arrived first. Instead, Kaga had traveled halfway around the world from the Pacific.

As for the second figure to appear, it was even more surprising to Hood, for it was Chen Yu himself.

It was also because of Chen Yu’s arrival that Artoria had set aside her readiness for battle, but she was unclear why Chen Yu was there at this time and what his relationship was with these two demigods. Therefore, she remained on guard and did not relax her vigilance.

"Bismarck didn’t come?" Hood asked with a hint of dissatisfaction, despite not minding that Bismarck had not come to reinforce her promptly.

Though they were enemies in yesteryears, having parted ways in life and death on the battlefield, now as colleagues, the fact that Bismarck hadn’t shown up in a time of need inevitably caused some discontent for Hood.

"She was going to come, but I stopped her," Chen Yu naturally understood Hood’s thoughts and explained on Bismarck’s behalf, "Kaga and I happened to be in Minato Ward, so we came directly. As for Bismarck, she had finally found traces left by Tirpitz and I didn’t want her efforts to go to waste."

"I see," Hood nodded slightly, her mood much improved, but still frowned at the obstacle before her and said, "Commander, it seems the other side has no intention of attacking. Shall we engage in battle?"

If it had been only Bismarck or Kaga who had come to reinforce her, Hood might have been ready to fight without hesitation. But since Chen Yu had arrived, as a ship-girl, she naturally had to follow Chen Yu’s command.

"Not for now, I know them. Let me talk to them," Chen Yu had no intention to fight as he recognized Artoria, "Kaga, put the planes away. We probably won’t need to fight."

"Understood, Commander," Kaga nodded, put away the bow and arrow in her hand, and waved to the planes in the sky. The planes dived towards her and transformed into arrows in mid-air, falling into her quiver.

This sight in front of Tower Bridge left the British Government’s supernatural agents on high alert. Whether turning arrows into planes or planes into arrows, such feats were only achievable by extremely powerful supernaturals.

Even with the help of two demigods, the British Government’s supernaturals were having an even more difficult time as it appeared that the other side also had two demigods, and one man whose identity was unknown.

However, Chen Yu didn’t concern himself with the feelings and reactions of these British people, and stepped directly from the main turret of The Hood onto the surface of Tower Bridge, standing in front of Artoria. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"It’s been a while, Your Majesty Artoria," Chen Yu greeted her with a slight bow, touching his chest with reverence.

"Demigod Sir!" Artoria also seemed very pleased to see Chen Yu appear, dismounting from her horse and standing in front of him, she asked, "Demigod Sir, hadn’t you already gone home? What brings you here?"

In the face of Artoria’s inquiry, and the attentive gaze of the British Government’s supernaturals nearby, Chen Yu just smiled and then answered, "The Hood is my friend, and I received a distress signal from her just now. I came over with some friends. I thought she was in danger, but I didn’t expect to find her meeting with Your Majesty."

"So that’s how it is, then. Are those two young demigod ladies also friends of yours? She said her name is The Hood and that she’s a warship. Is that true?" Artoria asked Chen Yu, but for some reason, despite already knowing Chen Yu’s name, she continued to refer to him as Demigod Sir.

Chen Yu naturally did not skimp on his explanation for Artoria’s inquiry, especially since The Hood had caused such commotion today. Failing to clarify things for others to speculate would only invite more trouble: "That’s right, Hood is indeed a warship, her original form was the United Kingdom’s HMS Hood Battlecruiser from World War II. However, the current Hood is more like the soul of that Hood, you can think of her as having transformed from a ship into a person."

"I see, from a ship into a person, that is indeed astonishing," Artoria remarked after hearing Chen Yu’s explanation.

Upon hearing Chen Yu’s explanation, the supernaturals of the British Government also came to understand, and quickly reported to the government officials in command behind the scenes. These British Government officials then promptly sent instructions.

Since The Hood’s original form was a Royal Navy warship, could it be that she still harbored sentiments towards the United Kingdom? These government officials did not dare to assume that The Hood would return to the UK as they wished, but if they could gain her favor, it would be a great thing for the United Kingdom, which was now in its twilight.

Not to mention, if they could learn how she transformed from a ship into a demigod, there was still the HMS Victory lying in ashes in Portsmouth Harbor for centuries.

Thus, urged by the officials behind the scenes, a Legendary-rank supernatural affiliated with the British Government mustered the courage to approach Chen Yu, saluted him, and after catching his attention, finally asked, "Respected Demigod Sir, may I ask what is Miss Hood’s purpose? May we, on behalf of the British Government, speak with her?"

"Hood’s purpose is for Belfast. As a former member of the Royal Navy, she wishes to take her last companion away," Chen Yu replied, having already heard the events from Hood. He was not opposed to this, and as for what calculations the British had... if they thought they could get any benefit from Hood because she was once a British warship, then Chen Yu could only say it depended on the eloquence of these British gentlemen.

After all, in some sense, Hood did have deep feelings for the United Kingdom, and under the prerequisite that she did not violate her ultimate command of loyalty to him, it wasn’t impossible for Hood to provide some benefits to the British Government.
