"I regret it, Ange," AK12's voice came through the communication device, accompanied by the sound of heavy breathing nearby.
Angelia scratched her head with a slight headache. "Regret what?"
"Of course, sending those two T-Dolls of Commander Renault back... I was too naive..." AK12 gasped, her internal cooling system working at full capacity, with AN94 beside her in a similar state.
"It's too late to dwell on that now. How's the situation? If it's not feasible, withdraw as soon as possible. Intelligence is important, but you two are more important to me now. I don't want to receive an expensive bill tomorrow." Angelia shook her head and sighed as she spoke to AK12.
"It's okay. Although the number of Sangvis Ferri units far exceeds my expectations, it's manageable. We're just a bit short on ammunition. It would be even better if we could get some support from Griffin."
AK12 glanced at AN94 beside her, then lowered her head to look at the backpack on her own body.
Since splitting up from MDR and RFB, they had encountered a sudden surge of Sangvis Ferri units on their journey, from fewer than thirty encounters in total to layers upon layers of obstacles.
If it weren't for their both having certain electronic warfare capabilities, capable of temporarily paralyzing the command systems of those Sangvis Ferri, they might have already succumbed to the Sea of Sangvis Ferri tactics.
"Alright, stay safe." Angelia felt slightly relieved after hearing AK12's words.
However, after ending the communication, she still hesitated and took out her phone, wondering whether to call Renault again.
But after some thought, she dismissed the idea.
After all, Renault was quite hot-tempered.
AK12 had already said they didn't need help before. If she called Renault now and asked him to send MDR and the others to help again... she might be subjected to Renault's scolding, and most importantly, Renault would definitely take advantage of the situation to extort something from her!
Why couldn't he offer an insider price?
...
Angelia's resentment and AK12's difficult mission had nothing to do with Renault and the others, as their spaceship had quietly crossed the Mediterranean Sea and arrived in the North Sea. William Harbor was just around the corner.
Standing on the bridge, RFB and her companions could already see the cruise ship preparing to set sail in the distance.
"Wow! I didn't expect the cruise ship to be so huge! Hey hey! RFB! Did Mrs. Graven say what we can do on the ship?"
C96 and M1919A4 grabbed RFB's arm and shook it, chattering incessantly.
"Um, I don't know. This cruise ship was just built by the Graven family's shipyard. As for operations and such, they will be handled by specialized companies. I have no idea what's on the ship!"
RFB's head was spinning from being shaken by the two, and she had heard nothing other than the phone call inviting them to play on the cruise ship.
"It should just be free boarding and entertainment. Meals and accommodation are free, but if you want to buy things on the ship, you'll have to spend your own money, as not all the shops on the cruise ship are operated by the company." M200 knew a bit more, but still very limited, as she had only seen some news about cruise ships online.
"Will we scare others by suddenly appearing in front of that cruise ship?"
MP5 was worried about their spaceship underneath their feet.
Although the ship had landed on the sea surface from the sky, at least half of the hull was submerged in the water.
However, their ship looked quite strange compared to the ships in the distant harbor, and it might be mistaken by the passengers on the cruise ship as a warship.
Even if its the truth.
"Well, we shouldn't worry. After all, our ship only looks a bit odd, as long as we don't do anything strange, the tourists shouldn't react." MP40 scratched her head.
Although their ship was large, it was still small compared to the large cruise ship, and the part above the water surface was not as high as the cruise ship's hull, so it looked like just a small boat now.
"Hmm, makes sense. But do we need to prepare anything?"
"No need, no need! The commander just said to bring money!"
P90 waved her wallet, containing all her possessions, including the cash she exchanged earlier and the bank card she got when she opened the account.
"Eh!? When did you buy a wallet?"
"No no no, I didn't buy it! I made it myself!"
As the group of T-Dolls talked, they went straight to the hangar.
Soon, Renault would pilot the aircraft and take them all over.
As for Renault himself? He wasn't interested in wandering around on the cruise ship.
Whether on the cruise ship or on his own ship, it was the same to him. They wouldn't be able to witness the maiden voyage ceremony of the cruise ship, as they didn't have entry permits.
Therefore, they could only wait until the cruise ship set sail and slowly approach it afterwards.
Fortunately, there were no problems afterward. Mrs. Graven had already made arrangements.
After the two ships approached each other, Renault directly sent the large group of T-Dolls to the cruise ship.
"Commander, about the ship..." G36 turned to look at Renault sitting in the pilot's seat.
"It's fine. There are still Rippers and Vespids on board, and there's nothing urgent. If anything happens, just give me a call, and I'll come over to pick you up." Renault waved his hand.
"Understood." G36 nodded and jumped out of the aircraft along with M1 Garand.
"Oh, and remind those guys to be careful. I don't want to receive a compensation bill from the operating company later."
"Got it."
The materials used on the cruise ship obviously couldn't compare to the high-strength alloy steel made by Renault himself, so he had to remind them to avoid accidentally damaging the cruise ship because they were used to the sturdy floors and walls of their own ship these past few days.
After exchanging glances with Mrs. Graven, RFB, and M200, they walked over to Renault.
"Renault, you're being careless. Why don't you come over here and have some fun?"
Mrs. Graven was somewhat dissatisfied when she saw Renault apparently not intending to stay on the cruise ship.
"Uh, I still need someone to watch over my ship over there. Let them go and have fun." Renault felt a bit embarrassed seeing Mrs. Graven's feigned displeasure.
But embarrassment aside, he definitely wouldn't stay. He preferred being alone on his own ship to being on such a crowded cruise ship.
"Humph, fine, there are still several days anyway. There will be other opportunities." Hearing RFB calling her from over there, Mrs. Graven waved her hand in disdain.
