Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1594 No matter where I get lost, the commander will come to pick me up

Veneto had heard the commander say this when he was in the port area.

In the history of Blue Star, the Sardinian Empire ended in World War II in a way that became a laughing stock for later generations.

Regarding the vague memory that the commander described, which seemed to be engraved deep in his soul, Veneto could actually feel that what the commander said was true.

Fence-sitters, clowns, spineless speculators...

The Sardinian Empire was labeled with too many shameful labels because of its defeat in the war.

As the flagship of the Imperial Navy that should have turned the tide, she ultimately failed to protect even the Mediterranean Sea, her own doorstep.

She was unwilling to remain silent as an "existing fleet", and instead continued to attack again and again to try to fight the Royal Fleet.

But what he got in return for his hard work for the Sardinian Empire was this outcome.

But just then, her commander changed the subject.

“Although the reputation of the Sardinian Empire plummeted after the war, Veneto, you are different from the Sardinian fleet.

“The battle between the Sardinian Fleet you led and the Royal Fleet in the Mediterranean battlefield has always been talked about by countless people.

“Even if the army fails, even if the Royal Fleet is many times bigger and stronger than you, even if you are facing a shortage of various logistical resources.

"But looking back at that period of history, it was the tenacity and perseverance shown by the Sardinian Navy led by you that became the cornerstone that allowed the Sardinian Empire to hold its head high."

Recalling what the commander was saying to himself at the time, Veneto walked to the dock and couldn't help but smile happily at the reminiscence.

Really, it's obvious that we lost the battle, so everything you say is just an excuse.

But why did I cry in front of the commander so shamelessly?

Looking at the calm sea, Veneto took a deep breath, feeling the refreshing feeling of the ocean breath rushing into his lungs, and his eyes gradually looked towards the bright starry sky.

Unconsciously, the Sardinian battleship girl gently touched the ring of oath worn on the ring finger of her left hand.

Spread the glory of the Sardinian Empire far and wide.

This great ideal is the duty and mission she has carried since she was born as a ship.

But the only thought in Veneto's mind at this moment was that she hoped her commander could return to her safely.

"Yawn...Veneto, are you lost too?"

However, just as Veneto was staring at the starry sky in the mirror sea, a gentle girl's voice, as if she had just woken up, with strong sleepiness and confusion, suddenly sounded from behind her.

Veneto turned around and, as expected, saw the tall, innocent girl sitting on a bench in the green belt of the pier, rubbing her eyes and looking at her with a sleepy look on her face.

"Naples, why are you sleeping on a bench on the dock?"

Veneto helplessly called out the name of the heavy cruiser girl in front of him who looked like a lost little confused girl, wearing a Sardinian standard red and green cheongsam dress style military skirt.

Sardinia Empire, Ansaldo large-caliber cruiser project, Naples.

Under the white wreath-like headdress on her head was a pair of beautiful, light chrysanthemum-yellow long hair that reached the ground.

Even though the climate in the Mirror Sea is habitable, Veneto still doesn't understand why Naples, who is only wearing a thin red and green military skirt and black stockings, would sleep here.

"Um... me?"

Hearing that Veneto did not answer his question but asked it back, Naples narrowed his rose-brown eyes as if he had not yet woken up, and tilted his head cutely:

"I'm lost, so I'm waiting here for the commander to pick me up."

As if thinking that the flagship in front of her didn't believe it, the romantic and naive cruiser girl raised her left hand again and showed the oath ring:
"The commander and I have an agreement... No matter where I get lost, as long as I bring this, he will find me and pick me up."

Veneto swallowed back the words of admonition that were about to come out of his mouth. Looking at Naples's sleepy and delicate face with long hair as soft as silk draped over his shoulders, Veneto walked forward with complicated thoughts for a while and put his dark red coat on Naples' shoulders.

"I'll take you back to the dormitory."

"The commander hasn't come to pick me up yet... In case there are enemies around the commander, I have to protect the commander."

Veneto's heart trembled when he heard the deep longing in Naples' voice.

The two Sardinian girls just stared at each other, and neither of them took the initiative to speak.

In the end, Veneto chose to sit next to Napoli.

Although it is a heavy cruiser, Naples is much taller than Veneto, which is a battleship.

The two Sardinian ship girls sat side by side on the bench, looking at the endless sea and the silver stars reflected on the sea.

"The commander will be here to pick you up soon."

Compared to Naples next to him, Veneto's thoughts and concerns about the commander are no less than those of Naples:

“This is our home, Naples.

"So... you're not lost. As long as the commander is here, we will never be lost."

Hearing what Veneto whispered, Naples seemed to understand and gently stroked the vow ring with his right hand.

"If I hadn't gotten lost, would the commander have suddenly appeared in front of us?"

"Yes, it will happen, just like in a fairy tale."

In response to Naples' question, Veneto gave an almost categorical affirmative answer.

But before Veneto could finish his sentence, "But not necessarily today."

"Om-"

The originally silent night sky over the sea was then filled with the sound of something huge approaching. Veneto almost instinctively stood up and drew his rapier out of its sheath.

Under the gazes of the two Sardinian girls, an indescribably large floating battleship passed through the lens system in a visually impactful manner, and suddenly hovered in the low air above the dock as if it had materialized from a phantom.

The Mirror Sea has been invaded? !
This was the first thought that flashed through Veneto's mind.

But before Veneto had time to think about why the warning and defense systems in the temporary port area failed...

"Wait, a floating battleship, is that possible?!"

Recalling that the Soviet Alliance and the companions in the home port had said in a previous communication conference that the port area currently has the technology to mass-produce floating battleships.

An answer that Veneto wanted to believe, but was afraid that his dream would be shattered, emerged in his mind.

But while Veneto was stunned, Naples beside her had already deployed her ship equipment.

A pair of gorgeous milky yellow wings like those of a holy angel spread out from behind Naples, combining with the two pairs of feather-like steel wings of the heavy cruiser girl, making the naive and ignorant heavy cruiser girl seem to have turned into a six-winged angel at that moment.

This is the most advanced sixth-phase ship of the Sardinian Empire that was brought to reality by Lin Lan himself from the blueprint.

Although Naples may seem weak, its combat power is definitely among the best in the entire port area.

Before Veneto could stop Napoli from taking the first step.

The next moment, a figure that made the two Sardinian girls on the dock stunned appeared in front of them from virtual to real.
