Chapter 280 Discussing the Origin of the Name Siren
......
Just as Jiang Mengyue was happily collecting the container.
the other side...
Skyhawk looked around, analyzing the maze.
“After actually entering here, one can really feel the gloom and horror here, just like the Knossos Labyrinth in the myth...”
"All you can see are towering walls, but the huge waterways formed between the walls are wide enough for the fleet to fight..."
"You think...the Sirens are robbing our art fleet because they are interested in art?"
Southwest Wind said: "Spreading fear is one of the few specialties of the Sirens. I think they can do it without any deliberate learning."
"I don't think it's possible either." Veneto thought about the Sirens he had seen over the years, "But they really should be influenced by art..."
"Over the years, the Siren Fleet's upgrade strategy has basically been to crudely add more weapons and equipment... Even as an enemy, I can't stand it anymore."
"Some of their aircraft are just a few gun barrels and a bunch of bulky parts... Where did they learn this aesthetic?"
Tianying thought about it and said, "From this point of view, there is indeed no trace of artistic atmosphere... However, the name 'Siren' was first born in this Aegean Sea."
"If they don't know anything, they wouldn't think of calling themselves Siren, right...?"
"It seems that the Sky Eagle is the self-proclaimed party on this issue..." Veneto looked at the Duke of Abruzzi, "Abruzzi, what do you think?"
"Do you think the name Siren is the information we got from their self-proclaimed name, or is it a code name we gave to this kind of existence?"
"Hmm..." The Duke of Abruzzi thought for a moment and said, "From a common sense perspective, I think Siren should just be a code name given by humans in the past to this sudden and powerful enemy."
Littorio suddenly found it interesting and said, "Then Abruzzi is the code name faction~"
"But if that's the case, then why would the Siren call themselves by the code names we gave them?" Tianying asked.
"Hmm... this doesn't make sense. So 'Siren' is indeed their self-proclaimed name, and we are just using this information?" The Duke of Abruzzi changed his answer.
Littorio asks: "Why, then, did the Sirens choose to take their name from our art and culture in the first place?"
Under the continuous questions of his companions, the Duke of Abruzzi was speechless.
"...I'm sorry, Master Littorio, but I am limited in my knowledge and cannot answer this question."
“Hahaha.” Littorio said with a smile, “Hahaha, don’t worry about it. If you answer it right away, I’m afraid I’ll have to write you a letter of introduction to study at the Imperial Institute for Advanced Studies right away.”
...After chatting for a while, Tianying thought about the previous question again.
"Lord Veneto, Lord Littorio, you just mentioned the self-proclaimed faction and the code-name faction... Could it be that the Senate has not yet received a final answer to this question?"
"Not only the Senate, I'm afraid no one knows the answer to this question now." Littorio said.
Veneto continued, "This is also an old problem... Although we have been fighting the Sirens for so many years, there is very little key information about their origin."
"When studying these scant pieces of intelligence, we often come to incompatible or even contradictory conclusions."
Littorio thought of a previous study and said, "Just before the Empire left the Azur Lane, I remember the headquarters launched another round of research on the origin of the Sirens with great enthusiasm, right?"
"Yeah... the final result is still the same, no useful conclusions were drawn. All studies that attempt to explore the origin of the Sirens will eventually end up with this result." Veneto believes that instead of studying this, it would be better to spend the money on more useful things.
Nicoloso d'Arecchio thought about the sirens described in mythology.
Somewhat dissatisfied, he said: "I think at least...the Sirens in mythology are much better than the Sirens now!"
"Those Sirens only use their songs to lure travelers. They would never take the initiative to attack and cause destruction like they are doing now...!"
Tianying said: "One theory is that the creatures that appeared in myths in the past are actually exaggerated representations of various mercenary groups in history, such as the mercenary group called Siren."
Nicoloso Dareko said in surprise: "...Huh?! If it's just a mercenary group, it's too unromantic!"
"Which do you think is better, the Siren, a half-human monster described in distant mythology, or the Siren Mercenary Group, which may have actually existed?" Veneto asked.
Nicoloso Darreco thought for a moment and said, "If we are to face a real opponent, a normal mercenary group would be the best..."
Then she changed her tone and said, "But as an object of artistic appreciation and admiration, half-human monsters are definitely more romantic~!"
"Besides, since there are so many inhuman Sirens standing before us, who can guarantee that the Sirens mentioned in the mythological era did not really exist~"
The ship girls chatted on the topic of Sirens while heading deeper into the maze.
After traveling for so long, they haven't seen any enemy yet.
They were completely unaware that their biggest "enemy" was waiting for them right at their target.
......
On the transport ship.
This ship has been completely emptied by Jiang Mengyue.
Jiang Mengyue's eyes were fixed on the next transport ship.
Her ship equipment is quite capable.
Afterwards, Jiang Mengyue controlled little Jiang Mengyue and walked in front of Vincenzo and Shensu.
I looked at the crew members who were peeking out from behind the window.
"Listen carefully. If you don't want them to die, you two should stay here obediently. I'm going to collect the containers from the next ship."
"Did you hear me?"
Jiang Mengyue used Xiao Tiancheng's body to speak words that did not pose any threat.
But Vincenzo and Shensu did not dare to be negligent at all and nodded quickly.
Afterwards, Big Jiang Mengyue jumped towards the nearest transport ship, while Little Jiang Mengyue sat down next to Vincenzo and Shensu.
