Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1657: The Indestructible Iris Defense Line (laughs)
If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely take a lot of time and energy to walk along the mountain road to the top of the Iris Temporary Port Mountain.

But for Lin Lan and the three Iris Knights, this was not a big deal at all.

In about half an hour, Lin Lan successfully reached the highest point of the island, the edge of the basin in the middle of the island.

When they came to the edge of the towering basin, a row of large-caliber steel heavy artillery that seemed to be covered with optical camouflage and was completely invisible just now appeared before his eyes out of thin air.

"I was wondering why I didn't see any floating guns at sea. Did you deploy the temporary port defense system here?"

Looking up at these unmanned coastal defense steel structures with their huge gun barrels pointed at the distant sea, Lin Lan smacked his lips and exclaimed.

These Iris Cube cannons are deployed at regular intervals around the island basin.

It is hard to imagine what kind of devastating power these huge cannons would display when they roared together if an enemy really invaded the home of the Iris Ship Girls.

"Here, Commander, this is our Iris's impenetrable inner ring defense line of the temporary port area."

Although as a ship girl, climbing mountains should be no problem at all.

But the smile that he was trying to maintain was already covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat on his cheeks. It was obvious that he hadn't exercised so vigorously in a long time.

Seeing that he was curious about these magic cube cannons, Evil also proudly puffed out his chest and smiled at him elegantly:

"As long as this line of defense exists, even if the enemy passes through the outer defense line of the Aurora Wall, they will be completely wiped out at sea and will not be able to set foot in the temporary port area."

However, hearing the confident tone of the Iris Knight, Lin Lan instinctively twitched the corners of his mouth.

He always felt that the word "vicious" seemed a little familiar.

On Blue Star, Iris once built an indestructible line of defense called "Maginot".

Facts have proved that the defense line that Iris spent nearly ten years to build is indeed indestructible, but the Iron Bloods bypassed this defense line with armored blitzkrieg and attacked the capital of Iris directly.

That's why when he heard Evil introduce him in such a proud tone, he always felt like a little loli was setting a flag.

"Well, the commander must think I'm setting a flag."

But as if she could see what he was thinking, she looked at him with a pair of vicious blue eyes and gave him a cunning smile:
"'Immovable defense' is all lies. Our firm belief in the Commander's love is the real barrier that cannot be broken."

"Who did you learn to talk like that from? The vicious person I remember wouldn't say something like that."

Lin Lan looked at the white-haired little knight in front of him who was waiting for him to praise him, feeling a little amused.

If it was Littorio who said this to him, he would not feel anything wrong.

Doesn’t he know what kind of personality this little lazy fellow has? There must be an expert guiding him behind such seductive lines.

As expected, she stuck out her tongue viciously and gave him a malicious and cute grin:
"Hey~ It's Lady Richelieu, she always tells us this when we go to church for worship."

Evil finished his words for him, and Hua Jian also jumped down from his arms with the heavy sword:
"As knights of the Holy See, we ourselves are the most powerful weapons.

"But history has long told us that strength without firm belief cannot defeat a strong enemy."

The little cat-eared knight walked up to Vicious, and when he said this, he, along with the heavy sword and Vicious, bowed slightly to him in an elegant posture, performing the Fleur-de-lis salute in unison:
"It is because of the Commander's guidance that Iris was able to end the division. The Commander is our God.

"Iris Church Knights Foil/Epee/Vicious, welcome home, Commander."

Looking at the three Iris Destroyer Lolita Knights in front of him, who were cooperating tacitly and whose voices were filled with happiness, Lin Lan was a little dazed for a moment.

In fact, as early as when he first met Mogador and Joffre, he had already felt that the feelings of the Iris girls towards him were not only love, but also a piety similar to "faith".

This was especially true for him as he saw more and more Iris ship girls, such as Louis IX, Flanders and Brest, the Iris scientific research ships.

The Iris girls, who believed in gods, had already replaced gods with him as their commander and regarded him as everything to them. This also made him realize more deeply how irrational his previous dimensional ascension in Natlan was.

Looking at the three cute little Iris Knights in front of him, he took a deep breath, walked slowly forward and hugged them into his arms again.

Feeling the little girls' breath hitting his neck, he whispered a promise:
"I'm sorry for making you worry and for making you wait for me for so long... I will never leave you again."

Now he has the ability and the confidence to say so.

After a journey across time, life and death, dimensions and worlds, from now on nothing can separate him and his ship girls.

After hearing his promise, the three Iris girls hugged him tightly, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Okay, Commander, you still need to find Sister Richelieu, right? It won't be too late to tell us these things after the Sardinian fleet and new companions arrive tomorrow."

After Hua Jian's blushing face and gentle reminder, Lin Lan finally let go of the three little destroyer lolis.

Standing up again, he finally saw the entire picture of the Iris temporary port area through his wide field of vision from a high vantage point.

On the flat bottom of the basin, the port buildings stand out like medieval temples.

The most eye-catching one is the Iris Cathedral, which is located in the center of the temporary port area and is also the tallest and most magnificent.

Just by looking at it from such a long distance, he could feel the majestic and holy aura coming towards him.

Besides this, what surprised him even more was that on the edge of the basin opposite them, there was a river flowing upstream.

Yes, this is clearly the highest point on the entire island.

However, the water flow in the spacious river connecting the Iris temporary port to the ocean was actually flowing against gravity from the ocean to the port of the Iris ship girls.

There was no need for the three destroyer lolis to explain, this river was undoubtedly operated by the power of magic.

"Commander, the port we were at just now is on the east side of the island, the port for attacking the open sea."

Seeing him staring at the upstream river in a trance, Hua Jian adjusted his mood and introduced it to him at the right time:
"That artificial river created by magic connects to the port on the west side of the island. Normally, everyone's missions are to go to the Teaching Country, so it was designed this way."

Because of the hug just now, the shy little Lolita Chongjian, whose face was flushed, also timidly added for him:
"There aren't many people coming to this side of the port on weekdays, so we didn't see other companions along the way."

After listening to the explanations of the two little lolis, Lin Lan also understood why they were so deserted along the way.

It is noon now, which is the rest time for the Iris ship girls.

In addition, one has to climb a mountain to reach the port on this side of the island, so most of the Iris ship girls leave the port by directly deploying their ships and sailing through the artificial river.

But what Hua Jian said just now was right, he had to find Richelieu as soon as possible to shut down the Aurora Wall system.

Just as he was looking at the Iris temporary port area in the basin, thinking about whether to use the power of invisible breath to teleport the three little lolis directly.

The next second, he heard a vicious sigh beside him:

"It's really troublesome to have no means of transportation. Commander, stand still. I'm going to use the teleportation magic scroll to take you directly to the cathedral."

"Wait a minute, Vicious, this magic scroll is an emergency hedging tool, it's not for you to use like this..."

Before he could react to what the magic scroll that Evil was talking about was, Hua Jian hurriedly spoke up to stop Evil's extravagant behavior.

However, before Hua Jian could finish his words, Lin Lan turned his head and found that he and the three little lolis were wrapped in orange spell magic light.

This lazy little villain, Evil, actually chose to use up a one-time teleportation spell magic scroll to hurry on his way in order to save energy!
