It is obvious that their commander cannot resist the damage from the ship girls. Akagi can remind others as much as she wants, but can you, Amagi, say what you are thinking?
You are such a dead fox, Commander, you have to choose between the two.
It's not just Atago. In fact, Kaohsiung and Agatsuma also have complaints about Amagi in this matter and feel resentful towards him, but they just don't show it.
No one is a saint. Xia Bai came all the way to Sakura Empire to become the commander, which means he has given his all for Sakura Empire.
Who would accept your sudden admission of giving up the commander and choosing Sakura Empire? Not to mention someone like Xia Bai who has no reservations about the ship girl and trusts her completely.
Now, the ship girls from other camps have made fun of us and said that the Sakura Empire is just a group of uncivilized beasts who got the best things but didn't cherish them. They can replace them.
Seeing that everyone was a little unhappy because of the mention of Amagi, Azuma clasped her hands together and said cheerfully: "We don't need to care about these, just do our own things. When the commander figures it out, everything will return to normal."
"Don't worry, Chikuma. I can tell you with confidence that the commander will never abandon the Sakura Empire. Go back and tell the others not to think too much."
After receiving the reply from the marriage ship, Chikuma's mood finally improved a little. Just as he was about to stand up to thank them and go back to tell my wife, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open.
Noshiro walked in with a cold face, glanced at a few people, and said calmly: "You don't have the final say, only the master's words count."
"Sheffield asked me to come and inform you, Kaohsiung. Pack up your things now. We will leave Sakura Empire and Azur Lane and go somewhere else to complete our unfinished business and build..."
"——Red Axis."
After these words were spoken, the three of them stood up and started packing their things without any hesitation or further questioning.
It's not that they have their own ideas and have wanted to leave the Sakura Empire early on, but they just obey their commanders and their husbands instinctively. In addition, Xia Bai was bullied by Amagi...
It’s better not to be stupid in this Sakura Empire.
But Agatsuma, Atago, and Takao were ready to pack up and leave. Chikuma felt uncomfortable, and his long rabbit ears stood up. He said with an unpleasant expression: "Commander, you are not really going to leave the Sakura Empire... Then what should we do?"
"No, I have to go and explain this to everyone and persuade the commander."
As soon as he stood up, Noshiro put the sword in his hand against Chikuma's neck and said without emotion: "Those who want to go can follow me, and those who don't want to go can stay."
"We didn't force anyone to be together, nor did we abandon anyone, but... now is not the time to expose this matter. Sorry for the offense."
There was a flash of pity in his eyes. In front of Chikuma's incredulous gaze, Noshiro swung his sword from top to bottom, and a cold light flashed, with blood splattering everywhere.
Until the moment he fell, Chikuma couldn't understand why Noshiro did that. The moment he lost consciousness, all he could see were her extremely cold purple eyes.
Chapter 185 This is...Estrangement
The sound of intense and hurried footsteps was heard, and a moment later, the door of the infirmary was pushed open. Anxious-looking Nagato and Amagi walked in quickly, followed by Enterprise, who looked a little remorseful.
Seeing this, the Kitchen Goddess smiled at them with a reassuring smile, put down the medical records in her hand, and said, "It's nothing serious. She will wake up in a while...Miss Amagi, do you want to check her body?"
Shaking his head, Tiancheng showed a bitter smile: "Your Excellency the Goddess of the Kitchen God, why do you have to tease me... cough cough cough, my body cannot be cured by medicine."
Hearing this, Nagato breathed a sigh of relief, cleared his throat, and said with dignity: "Well, Amagi will naturally have a commander to treat you. We appreciate the kindness of the Goddess of the Kitchen God."
"Chikuma was injured and unconscious. Is there any result?" Rather than continuing to be polite, Nagato wanted to know how Chikuma was injured and who did it.
There are only five major factions living in the White Eagle Port area now. It doesn't take much thought to know that it must be the work of one of the ship girls.
It is normal to have minor frictions between camps, but everything should have a limit. It is unacceptable to hurt the Chikuma of the Sakura Empire like this.
This is also the reason why the company feels guilty. As the owner of the White Eagle, it is wrong to let the guests get injured here.
If it was the White Eagle Ship Girl who did it, then she would never be able to explain herself. With Xia Bai's protective temper, it was very likely that she would turn hostile on the spot, not to mention that the other party had a bad impression of her.
Thinking of this, Enterprise also quickly echoed: "That's right, since Chikuma's life is not in danger, the most important thing now is to find the 'murderer'. Can the Goddess of the Kitchen learn something from the injury?"
After hearing what the two said, the female kitchen god looked embarrassed and answered uncertainly: "Tsukuma was sent here by Xuefeng. According to her, she found Tsukuma lying in a pool of blood in Miss Kaohsiung's room."
"Moreover... the wounds on Zhu's body were caused by a sharp blade or weapon."
This is not just a hint, it is already a clear statement. It is very likely that the current state of Chikuma was caused by the people of Sakura Empire.
In fact, the female kitchen god was already complaining when she was bandaging the wound. Is this how the Sakura Empire shipgirls usually get along? They would draw their swords and chop people at any time. The key is that they didn't send people to the hospital for treatment in time after chopping them, as if they were afraid that Chikuma would not die. It's too scary.
After thinking for a while, Nagato asked, "I don't believe that Kaohsiung would do such a thing... The royal family also has sharp blades."
As if Nagato had questioned her professional scope, the Kitchen Goddess said angrily, "Ms. Nagato, do you think my judgment is wrong?"
"The royal family's swords are mostly large swords and knight swords, which are definitely not capable of creating such small and narrow wounds. Only the swords of the Sakura Empire can do this."
"..."
The Kitchen Goddess was almost pointing at Nagato's nose and telling her that this was done by the people of Shigekaku. Now all the clues were leading to Kaohsiung, making the commander-in-chief very embarrassed and confused.
She really didn't think that Kaohsiung was the kind of ship girl who would do such a thing. No, it should be said that apart from Akagi, there were few people in the Sakura Empire who could be so harsh on their companions.
Besides, Akagi had been in the conference room the whole time, and only came here with them after receiving the notice, so he didn't have the opportunity to take action.
As soon as he thought of this, Nagato's heart froze, and he looked up and asked, "Is Akagi not here? She should have arrived here before me."
When Enterprise heard the Kitchen Goddess say that Chikuma's wound was caused by the katana, he already felt that something was wrong. Now, when he heard Nagato asking about Akagi's whereabouts, he felt that something big was going to happen in Shigekaku.
Could it be that because Xia Bai got sick, these foxes' minds became confused again? At this critical moment, they were trying to fight for power.
The more he thought about it, the worse the situation became. He quickly advised, "No matter who did this, just call Miss Kaohsiung over to ask."
"At worst, we can wait until Tsukushi wakes up and the truth will be revealed. Why bother speculating on Akagi? I hope you can put the overall situation first."
This actually counts as interfering in the internal affairs of Sakura Empire.
Enterprise is very simple, at least when it comes to combat. She really doesn't want to see a power change in Sakura Empire at this time.
It was already a headache for Xia Bai and Tian Cheng to be infected with the disease, and now this incident happened. There was chaos before the battle, how could they cooperate to attack the Solomon defense line?
Nagato might not have understood this principle, but he was just wondering why Akagi had set out before him but was not there yet.
Moreover, this incident made her smell an unusual smell of blood. Coupled with the fact that many ship girls have recently said that their connection with Xia Bai is getting weaker and weaker... The Sakura Empire is like a building that is about to collapse and is in danger.
"No hurry, the commander doesn't know about this yet. I plan to inform him of this first and let him decide."
Nagato believes that no matter who caused Chikuma's injury, Xia Bai will ultimately have to step in to resolve it because he is the commander of the Sakura Empire.
At the same time, he felt a little guilty about his identity and Xia Bai. His health had not been good after being stimulated by Amagi. If he heard about the "internecine fighting" among the Sakura Empire, he might be very sad.
Tiancheng thought the same as Nagato, but now she was very worried about Xia Bai's condition and didn't want to let these things bother him. Moreover, this matter was quite strange and not as simple as it seemed.
It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands behind them, slowly advancing, ready to push the Sakura Empire into the abyss...
Regardless of his physical fatigue, Amagi was thinking carefully in his mind about who was behind all this, and finally the pretty face of a black-haired ship girl appeared in his mind.
"Zhenhai...cough cough cough."
Although he still couldn't figure out the purpose of the Donghuang strategist, Tiancheng was probably aware that he had fallen into a trap and was being tricked by the other party to sow discord.
Dissociation has always been an open conspiracy. As long as rumors spread, amidst the various opinions, no matter how much trust there is, suspicion will always arise, causing a rift between the two.
Zhenhai's strategy of sowing discord was even more generous and free and easy. He knew that his lord was obsessed with ship girls and would not be disturbed by rumors, so he deliberately brought up the matter of Donghuang's merger with Sakura Empire to make himself blinded by the benefits.
As expected of a Donghuang strategist who was well-versed in Sun Tzu's Art of War, Tiancheng prided herself on being smart and careful at all times, but she still fell into the opponent's trap. This time she admitted defeat.
Fortunately, it is not too late to discover the alienation plot, and there is still a chance to rescue him. Moreover, maybe the lord will get closer and have a better understanding with the Sakura Empire because of this incident.
A trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and Tiancheng put away the handle stained with blood plum, intending to find Xia Bai now to confess his guilt and admit his mistakes.
But who would have thought that Chikuma woke up at this time, and as soon as he woke up, regardless of his injuries, he shouted anxiously: "Quick, go and stop Noshiro, they want to take the commander away to establish the Red Axis."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the infirmary changed drastically, and Tiancheng slowly fell down with blood oozing from his mouth.
It's too late...
Chapter 186 The Poisonous Strategist's Plan
The news that Xia Bai was going to leave the Azure Lane and establish the Red Axis at this time quickly spread through Chikuma's mouth. It was like a depth charge that sank into the sea and set off a huge wave.
Almost all the ship girls were discussing the progress of the matter and wondering why Xia Bai did that at this time.
The leaders of the five major sects were all thinking differently. Nagato was flustered, Enterprise was puzzled, Bismarck seemed to be thinking deeply, and Elizabeth was still thinking about where to go with Kuangrong today.
As for Donghuang leader Yixian, he was a little angry at this time, with no gentleness in his eyes at all, and he rushed into Zhenhai's room in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the door, Yixian asked Zhenhai who was sitting on a wooden chair: "Zhenhai...why do you do this?"
This attempt to sow discord is sinister and strange, and it cannot be seen. Only the Donghuang ship girl can do it. As a leader, Yixian is not a stupid person.
When the rumor spread, it was clear who was behind this conspiracy. While feeling apologetic, he was also very confused as to why Zhenhai did that.
They have always been on the upright and glorious path, believing that peace is the most valuable thing. Moreover, they are adjacent to the Mingyang Sea with the Sakura Empire and have cooperated with them many times. Zhenhai's use of such a strategy is actually putting her on the fire.
Facing Yixian's suspicion, Zhenhai was not flustered. He gently moved his arm, held her cheek and said with a smile, "No reason, just to trip her up... Yixian, please sit down and listen to me in detail."
"Drink from the same pot?"
Sitting opposite Zhenhai, Yixian said seriously: "No need, I just want to know why you do this."
"We have gathered here to discuss world affairs. Attacking the Solomon Line will benefit future generations and the country. Why do you......"
"You don't know the seriousness of the matter, do you?" Zhenhai said this on behalf of Yixian, then smiled sweetly, raised the small cup in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"This is an open conspiracy. If Tiancheng hadn't been too greedy, how could she have fallen for such a clumsy plot? As a wise woman, she only saw the benefits of Donghuang's annexation to Chongqing Sakura, but didn't find the 'nail' I set. How can you blame me for being cruel when you bring this upon yourself?"
"But even if she wants to swallow up our Donghuang, Zhenhai, you don't have to resort to such tactics as discord. Now, to put it mildly, it's just that the Sakura Empire is falling apart; to put it in the worst case, I'm afraid..."
With a slight flicker in his eyes, Yixian reluctantly spoke out the truth: "Azur Lane is now split, with the coalition forces divided into the east and the west."
"If I say...I didn't expect things to turn out this way, would you believe me, Yixian?"
"How can you make me believe it?"
Looking straight at Yixian, Zhenhai laughed again, and stood up from the chair, came to the window, looked at the chaotic scene below, and slowly said: "I saw her build a tall building, I saw her entertain guests, and I saw her building collapse, hehehehe..."
"Any scheme has its purpose, and if it has a purpose, there will be corresponding benefits."
"Xia Bai is now trying to build the Red Axis. This is tantamount to a waste of effort for my plan... Yixian, you know me well. I will not do such a business that costs nothing."
"From the beginning to the end, I just wanted to open a gap in the close relationship between Xia Bai and Chongying, a gap that would allow Donghuang to join in."
"I deliberately angered him that day for this very reason. When he had a bad impression of me, what did Yixian think Xia Bai would think if Tiancheng talked about Donghuang again?"
"After all, the agreement of 'Three Books and Six Ceremonies' is made by you, Yixian, not me, so I don't care what he thinks of me."
"What I want is for Donghuang to stop being a dependency and become independent under Xia Bai's name, while what Tiancheng wants is to swallow us up directly and increase its strength."
"Oh, you don't even consider whether your appetite is that big. You dare to use these tricks on us Donghuang."
With a sneer, Zhenhai showed disdain on his face.
"The current situation is nothing more than Tiancheng being more dishonest than I thought, and Xia Bai being more innocent than I thought."
"If Tian Cheng had served Xia Bai wholeheartedly and was not a traitor, she would never have become like this."
"It's her fault for being too greedy, her fault for being dishonest, her fault for not being able to fulfill her duty as a ship girl, not mine." Zhenhai turned around and leaned on the windowsill, and asked, "Are you satisfied with this answer, Yixian?"
Yixian is good in every way, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, resolute and decisive. She is the only one in Donghuang who can be a leader, but Yixian has a soft personality and believes in the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me" and that harmony is the most precious thing.
There are some things that the other party can't do, so she, the military advisor who gives advice, will do it. However, the situation has changed, so she can't finish it according to the original plan.
After all, Zhenhai didn't know what Tiancheng was thinking, and he didn't expect Xia Bai to be so naive that he couldn't stand being stabbed in the heart by the most trusted ship girl.
Being trapped by love is nothing more than this.
After learning the whole story, Yixian suppressed the thought of blaming Zhenhai and said calmly, "Then how are you going to end it? Are you just going to watch Xia Bai split apart?"
"Now that things have come to this, what else can I do? As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. The 'symptoms' cannot be cured by Xia Bai and I explaining them."
Thinking of Xia Bai's silly face, Zhen Hai said with some doubt: "But I think the Red Axis will end in vain."
"That man was too gentle and naive to the ship girl. Although Amagi's intention was to betray him, I think he would choose to forgive her after thinking it through. But the key is..."
"The key is when Xia Bai figures it out. If it's a done deal, then even if he wants to regret it, he'll have nowhere to go." Yixian continued.
"That's right, you are worthy of being our leader, you are very smart and can see through everything."
After glaring at Zhenhai fiercely, Yixian said unhappily, "I really don't want to care about you anymore. We are all united now, but you insist on causing trouble."
"After this matter is settled, you will come with me to apologize to Xia Bai and Tian Cheng."
Zhenhai also knew that Yixian was not going to punish him, so he nodded immediately and apologized as if he would not do it again next time.
Although she acted calm and composed, she was actually feeling quite remorseful. How Yixian punished her was secondary; the key point was that she had messed up.
If Xia Bai really took people away now and established the Red Axis, the Sakura Empire would tear her to pieces after they figured out the situation. Even the White Eagles and the Royal Army would not forgive her.
Although there are frictions among us, everyone is trying their best to suppress them in order to attack the Solomon Line of Defense. But you, Zhenhai, are not doing your job and are instead making up all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to hinder us.
In the past, people like her who disrupted the morale of the army would be executed immediately, and no one could protect themselves.
Now Zhenhai only hopes that Yixian can use his identity to do something, or prays that Xia Bai will think it through and stop acting so impulsively, so that everyone can reconcile as before.
