Royal Ark, come on!

"Leaving ahead?"

"That can't be helped... Tashkent monthly fee group?" 85'66"3"44 also change the course..."

Tashkent, which was advancing at full speed, also received the news that the fleet had set out soon after. It changed its course according to the rendezvous point marked above. It was this change that caused Tashkent to lose contact in the Northern Union's communication network...

……

ps: It’s the last day of 2023, I hope everyone can be happy!

The most important thing is that in the coming 2024, everyone should be happy!

My mom is still nagging me... Alas...

Volume 208: A World with Borders

"Ruins, ruins...and more ruins..."

"What on earth has happened to this world? Or what on earth has happened to the Sakura Empire in this world? All they have encountered are basically ruins..."

Under the guidance of Ayanami and Shinano, the Royal Ark also came to the Great Temple area of ​​Sakura Empire, which she had never been to before, and took a good look around. I guess if she really goes to Sakura Empire in the future, she won't need another tour guide to lead the way, and she can stroll around here by herself!

"It seems that we can't find any more information from the island..."

"Go down to the sea and see how big this world is!"

Shinano has a lot of experience in exploring the world like this, so he suggested this. Royal Ark nodded and said:

"From the perspective of the carrier-based aircraft I put in the air, once the carrier-based aircraft rises to a certain altitude, it will encounter something like fog. Once I force the carrier-based aircraft to rise up..."

"Carrier-based aircraft will be lost in this fog..."

"That is to say, the sky has boundaries. Next, we need to confirm whether the ground has boundaries."

"At least within the range covered by my carrier-based aircraft, there seems to be nothing unusual!"

"But that doesn't tell us how big this place is..."

"Royal Ark, are you interested in going to the main island of Sakura?"

The archipelago where the great temple is located is, after all, somewhat high above the outskirts of the main island of Sakura. Most of what the Royal Ark sees are religious buildings and military measures.

Shinano's proposal actually made Royal Ark a little interested in the customs and culture of the Sakura Empire.

But soon the Royal Ark's rising interest was suppressed by himself - even if it could reach the main island of Sakura in this world, judging from the ruins of the great temple here, it would probably be just piles of ruins!

"Go and see!"

"Let's see how far we can go in this world..."

He released the carrier-based aircraft again, and the Royal Ark sailed silently in the direction pointed by Shinano. After a while, it indeed saw the relatively large island. At the same time, the carrier-based aircraft in the sky also saw the world boundary mentioned by Shinano.

"It's the familiar white mist again..."

"I just don't know what is behind this white fog..."

"If you force your way in, you'll get lost in there!"

Shinano gave a warning, and the Royal Ark was not the kind of guy who would seek death. The main thing was to listen to advice. However, Ayanami, who was standing aside, looked at the port on the main island in front of her that was destroyed beyond recognition, and she raised the ship-cutting sword in her hand without knowing when.

"Ok?"

Ayanami was suddenly hugged by the Royal Ark, and her body stiffened. Then the Royal Ark's voice came over:

Dirty Doctor Flag VIII Flag Art

"It's very uncomfortable, right..."

“Although this is a virtual world…”

"But, I promise, as long as we are here and as long as we work hard, we will never let our hometown become what it is now..."

"As for now..."

The Royal Ark released Ayanami again:

"If you want to vent, then vent!"

"Buzz!"

"boom!"

The ship-cutting sword slashed at the sea surface, and the "sword energy" it brought up stirred up high waves on the sea surface. After slashing a few times, Ayanami finally calmed down.

"Let's go to the port and have a look!"

"The clue may be inside!"

Ayanami spoke very firmly. Faced with the request of their own ship girl, what reason did Ark Royal have not to agree to her?

Shinano, who was standing by, looked at the very good relationship between Royal Ark and Ayanami, and there seemed to be some "strange" feelings in his eyes...

"Let me lend you a helping hand!"

Dark blue butterflies suddenly appeared around the big white fox, and then with a wave of Shinano's hand, these dark blue butterflies flew around the port.

The Ark Royal was not to be outdone. It kept firing its ship-mounted guns into the air without stopping, and sent out the largest carrier-based aircraft it could control to conduct reconnaissance.

With the help of these eyes in the sky, the Ark Royal can see so much.

For example... this mass-produced battleship is still floating on the sea and has not sunk yet. There is a black (harmonious) aura coming out of it!

?

Wait, black (harmony) vibe?

What the hell is this?

"I think I found something different!"

While sharing his discovery with his teammates, Ark Royal controlled his carrier-based aircraft to move closer - if the carrier-based aircraft could not hover here like a helicopter to obtain more information, Ark Royal would simply anchor the carrier-based aircraft here.

However, although it could not fly like a helicopter, the Ark Royal demonstrated another superb carrier-based aircraft control method it had learned - hovering in this small range.

If they continue to circle and fly here peacefully, then although the Royal Ark is curious about the black (harmonious) aura, it will probably stop paying attention to this place.

But the problem is, this black (harmonious) aura is not that honest!

、Qun Fin Zero Bar Wu Si Lu Bar ⑺⑺

When the Ark Royal's carrier-based aircraft was flying at a very low altitude and hovering over this mass-produced ship, the black (harmony) aura suddenly swooped in and enveloped the Ark Royal's carrier-based aircraft!

"what!--"

Ark Royal suddenly felt a deep despair surging into its heart - then Ark Royal lost control of the carrier-based aircraft. With the loss of control of the carrier-based aircraft, Ark Royal's shocked emotions recovered slightly.

“This is… META!”

"what?"

Ark Royal is still frightened by the feeling just now. To be honest, the word META is not that unfamiliar to Ark Royal, who has read the game plot. It's just that the game plot and this world are still somewhat different. Ark Royal has always understood this world as a parallel world similar to the worldview of the Azur Lane game plot. Now it seems that there is more to it than that?

It should be said that Ark Royal's speculation is correct. This is indeed a parallel world that inherits part of the worldview of the Azur Lane game. This means that in addition to the changes that have occurred, there are many game plots that can be used as references for some events that have occurred in this world...

"We are in big (harmony) trouble..."

"The META atmosphere will try to infect 'healthy people' like us, and will not let us go until we are also sunk in it..."

"Next, I think we have a battle..."

……

ps: Happy 2024!

Happy New Year everyone!

Volume 209: The sky-blue cruiser, Tashkent appears!

Almost as soon as Shinano finished speaking, many bubbles suddenly appeared on the originally calm sea surface as if boiling water, and then some mass-produced fleets floated up from the bottom of the sea!

"This...this is..."

The Royal Ark has never seen such a scene!

Some of these rising mass-produced fleets still have the obvious Siren special features - the light bar that runs through the entire hull still emits an ominous red bloody light.

But the biggest and most obvious difference from the Siren is that above these red lights, there is black color entwined on them like vines.

How to describe this black?

In the past, Royal Ark thought that this was a joke, which Party A used deliberately to embarrass Party B. But now Royal Ark really saw what colorful black was!

With the start of these mass-produced models, originally there should have been only the wakes of the ships cutting through the sea surface, but now there is a long tail of smoke - the "smoke" is made up of the black (harmonious) atmosphere that the Royal Ark saw at the beginning!

"Want to go, Solomon?"

Ayanami on the side had already been eager to fight. She had been holding a lot of anger in her heart with no place to vent it. Now when she saw these enemies appearing on the sea, she was so happy!

The mechanical ears on Ayanami's head moved slightly twice!

"Be careful! When fighting these META-infected fleets, the most important thing to pay attention to is not to get too close to them!"

"That is to say, we have to defeat them remotely, right?"

"Then I understand!"

The Ark Royal recalled most of the carrier-based aircraft that were conducting reconnaissance in the sky - it just so happened that her carrier-based aircraft were not fighters, but torpedo planes and bombers, both of which could carry out long-range attack strategies.

"Buzz!"

As the torpedo plane dived downward, the torpedoes fell into the water like dumplings. Then a white water line appeared where the torpedo passed, and rushed straight towards the META mass-produced type opposite!

"boom!"

"Hmm? Not sunk yet?"

"Sure enough, compared to the ordinary mass-produced model, this health bar is much thicker!"

But it was not over yet. After the torpedo plane came the bomber that had been hovering in the air for a long time. With the free fall of the bombs in the air, this mass-produced ship that had been marked long ago finally sank to the bottom of the sea.

"No... We can't fight a war of attrition with these mass-produced models here at the port!"

Although it was only the first wave of tests, the Royal Ark immediately realized that something was wrong with the enemies in front of it.

If there is something behind him that needs to be protected, facing such an enemy with high HP and good attack ability, the situation will definitely give the commander of this battle a headache...

Wait, could it be that the reason why the Sakura Empire has become so miserable in this world is related to this?

"Got it, Ark Royale, Ayanami, I'll follow your orders!"

But on the battlefield, the Royal Ark did not have so much time to think about these things. After looking at Shinano on the side, the Royal Ark decided on the strategy of roaming around and fighting here.

What followed was a series of fierce battles.

"It seems that this is the end. The supplies and oil in this body of mine have been used up..."

Shinano's words made her seem as if she was about to sink, leaving the Royal Ark speechless.

But even though the Royal Ark has a steady supply of supplies, it cannot be exposed to others so easily - in fact, the Royal Ark is also aware that some people at the Naval Academy or Lexington should know some of its abilities, but they all chose not to say it out. If it were to expose itself voluntarily, would it really be appropriate?

"Here... I still have some supplies in my ship's space, use them first!"

But we cannot let such a fighting force dissipate. Without some knowledge of Shinano, the Royal Ark is still not 100% sure that it can get out of this damn place.

"Thank you very much, Royal Ark. I will definitely not let you down!"

The combat effectiveness of Shinano, which received supplies from the Royal Ark, is indeed not to be underestimated. It is worthy of being a colorful ship in the game. Although it has been somewhat out of favor in the later period, the Royal Ark will never forget the shaking fox tails when Shinano was drawn for the first time!

However, Shinano's strength also has a certain limit, and that limit is when supplies and oil are not consumed.

After the high-intensity battle, even Shinano quickly consumed all the supplies they had just received.

At this time, the Royal Ark faced another problem: should it continue to extend Shinano?

"Ok?"

Shinano looked at the Royal Ark here, which seemed to be controlling something in the air, and showed a rather confused expression. But if it was just that, it would not be enough for Shinano to continue paying attention - the key point was that when the Royal Ark was controlling these things, the META fleet that was originally eyeing it outside suddenly subconsciously retreated a lot of distance!

"..."

"Shinano, to be honest, I still have oil and supplies in my ship's cargo space... Yes, yes, my ship's cargo space is very large, please bear with it... please understand!"

"I understand..."

"boom!"
