Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

At this time, the long-lost command center resumed contact, but the suspicious Frederick the Great did not believe it easily.

It is better to be safe than sorry. This principle is true in any situation.

Chapter 266 Unexpected Events

Time goes back, when the command center just notified the Nagato fleet that had just finished resting to go to Area G.

The three Zhenhais were obviously much more relaxed, and their bodies were not as tense as before. They took advantage of the time when the Nagato fleet had not yet opened the new area to chat.

"What do you think is the relationship between Observer Zero and the Lord? I always feel that there are some secrets between the two." After asking the question that had been on his mind for a long time, Amajo's almond-shaped eyes sparkled as he looked at Ajax.

Among the three ship girls here, only the other party is a wedding ship and has had close contact with Xia Bai. For such things, Ajax might know some details.

Noticing that Tiancheng and Zhenhai were both looking at him, Ajax raised his head proudly and said, "Don't look at me. Observer Zero is so elusive, how would I know?"

"Don't rush to refute, Ajax, think about it carefully."

Tiancheng's voice clearly revealed distrust, or gossip. She thought Ajax must be hiding something and didn't want to tell her.

Her slim legs wrapped in black stockings were resting on the table, and Ajax said unhappily, "Although I am a marriage ship, it is obvious that Amagi and you have a better relationship with the piglet."

"How can I know something that even you don't know, but..."

After a pause, Ajax continued uncertainly, "I feel like RX-03 must know something. She's been acting a little weird since she didn't want to be 'Sister-chan' anymore."

"Do you remember your plan? After Piggy and Ironblood ran away, 03 was nowhere to be seen in the White Eagle Harbor area, and I didn't hear her asking about related matters again."

"But in the end, she was the one who knew best that this was a plot. Piggy didn't tell her, and Amagi, you didn't tell her in advance. So how did 03 know this was a plot?"

Ajax didn't believe that 03 was smarter than himself. Both he and Zhenhai were kept in the dark, and the other party was definitely the same.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Zhenhai thought for a moment and said, "I do know some details. I overheard them when Xia Bai was looking for Sister Yixian once."

Hearing this, Ajax's eyes widened and he said eagerly, "Then why are you hiding it and not telling us about it? You are just teasing us."

"I didn't say it because I wasn't sure if I heard it correctly, but now that I've connected it to the fact that Observer Zero is TB, it's not an exaggeration to say it."

After explaining briefly, Zhenhai tapped his fingers on the metal table in front of him and slowly recounted the scene of that day.

It turned out that after Xia Bai asked Yixian for advice that day, he went back directly because he was too tired and did not go to Zhenhai to play chess.

For unknown reasons, Zhenhai failed to wait for Xia Bai, so he went to the practice room by himself and found RX-03 and Yixian talking inside.

In addition to these two people, there was another unfamiliar voice, which was roughly talking about forming an alliance, a marriage ship, or something like that.

Zhenhai didn't think much about it at the time. He just thought that some Sakura Empire or the royal wedding ship was looking for Yixian for something. He had no intention of eavesdropping, so he went back to his room and continued waiting for Xia Bai.

It was not until now that Zhenhai suddenly realized that the voice he heard at that time was exactly the same as the voice of Observer Zero.

After listening to Zhenhai's story, Ajax's face turned strange, and he couldn't help but complain: "It means that Yixian may have known that Observer Zero is TB a long time ago, but because of the alliance, he didn't say it?"

I was just playing Werewolf, but the small White Eagle Port area actually had so many traitors hiding, even Yixian was involved.

"That should be it. Yixian, 03, and Akashi all know about this, but they didn't say it out for some reason."

The thick fog dissipated, and the revealed secret emerged in front of Amagi. After a little thought, she said softly: "What we can confirm now is that the relationship between Observer Zero and the Lord is not as simple as we thought, and it is one-sided."

"Because the Master probably doesn't know that TB is Observer Zero..."

The only thing worth pondering here is whether Xia Bai knows that TB is Observer Zero, but judging from his performance, Xia Bai doesn't know.

Because he went to Akashi a few days ago and insisted on making a body that could move independently for his TB-chan.

And if he knew TB's true identity, there would be no need for them to come to Solomon to fight this battle. The shameless Xia Bai would definitely stick to Ling and tell him that they were all one of them, so there would be no need for any trials.

Tiancheng was sure that Xia Bai would definitely do this. Judging from Observer Zero's current performance, he might even be persuaded by him.

What? Do you think Xia Bai will get furious because he was deceived and break up with Observer Zero?

Well, everyone has their own opinion. Anyway, based on Tiancheng's understanding of Xia Bai, the other party will definitely not be angry, and may even be secretly happy.

After all, Amagi has seen Observer Zero's appearance. According to people with high emotional intelligence, she is a snow-white girl with no emotions. Although her emotions can be clearly heard from her tone of voice, there is never much fluctuation on her face.

Low EQ, barefoot ice cream, black nail polish on tiny toes, perfect for xp, leaving no room for someone to refuse.

Just when Amagi was thinking about how he should face Observer Zero if she joined the "marriage ship" ranks, he suddenly heard Zhenhai's surprised voice.

"Another map has been lit up, this time it's area B!"

Shocked, Tiancheng immediately put away the little gossip in his mind and entered the state of battlefield command, his bright eyes looking straight at the map on the light screen.

Another lost companion has formed a fleet, but I don’t know which ship girls have gathered together. I hope they can bring some good news to the command.

......

"Proof? I know you want to be Xia Bai's mother, so that counts as proof. Last time he gave you the cold shoulder in the conference room."

Frederick the Great's worries were dispelled, and he said slowly, "So it's really you. Can you tell me why you contacted us only now?"

After briefly telling Frederick the Great about the special mechanism of Atlantis and the news about Nagato and the others, Zhenhai continued to ask: "That's it, Nagato and the others are heading to Area G, and you are in Area B..."

"Now please report which ship girls make up your fleet and what the current situation is."

Blinking, Frederick the Great looked at Hutten with a little hesitation. After receiving Hutten's nod of approval, he calmly said, "Compared to these, I think there are more important things to report to the headquarters."

Having said this, Frederick the Great paused and took a deep breath.

"First Air Force Akagi, confirmed to have sunk."

Chapter 267 Are you ready for the wedding ship to sink?

The sinking of a ship is not something difficult to accept. Fighting in this chaotic world is uncertain and you might sink one day.

Therefore, the ship girls are not particularly afraid of the concept of death. Compared with their own death, they care more about the sinking of their companions.

And now, Frederick the Great's words were undoubtedly a heavy blow to the three people in the command center, and they dared not accept this fact.

Glancing at Tiancheng and Ajax on both sides, Zhenhai took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying his best to make his voice clearly reach the ears of Frederick the Great.

"I believe you understand the seriousness of this matter, so now the command center requires Frederick the Great to repeat what he just said."

"No matter how many times I say it, it's the same... The Akagi of the Sakura Empire has sunk."

Tiancheng was not quite convinced and interrupted the conversation, asking solemnly, "Have you confirmed it? Maybe you saw it wrongly. After all, there are bionic creatures in Atlantis that look similar to our companions."

At this moment, Kaga's cold and somewhat trembling voice rang out.

"My sister sank. She was attacked by the Breaker's beam right in front of me. She was riddled with holes..."

If Frederick the Great's words still gave Amagi some hope, then Kaga's confirmation undoubtedly destroyed that hope.

As a sister, Kaga would not joke about Akagi, and no other ship girl would understand or care about Akagi better than her.

"Command, Command has received the message. Thank you for your bravery. Next, please follow the command's strategic plan..."

The scenes of his time with Akagi emerged in his mind. Amagi forced himself to suppress the bitterness and sadness in his heart, pursed his lips, and calmly arranged how the fleet in Area B should act.

"Judging from the trigger mechanism of Atlantis, Area B has not been completely cleared. There should still be an intelligent Siren similar to Tester α hidden there."

"But considering the strength of Frederick the Great and Hutten, the Siren of Wisdom will not be a problem for you."

"After easily conquering Area B, the command center hopes that you will focus your attack on Area A. There should be some companions there..."

Nodding, Kaga calmly replied, "The goal is to clear the area... I see. After we rest for a while, we will enter the strategy phase."

"Please be careful. We can't afford to lose another carrier battle."

"Um..."

After responding again to show that he understood, Kaga hung up the phone.

With mist in his eyes, Tiancheng slowly closed his eyes, wiping his tears and sobbing softly.

This Sakura Empire strategist is not a strong ship girl. She cannot adjust her mentality as quickly as Kaga after accepting the reality.

In fact, Amagi is just as fragile as her body used to be. She has been hypnotizing herself. As the think tank of Sakura Empire, she cannot let others know her weaknesses.

But now, Amagi could no longer hypnotize herself. She had not yet reconciled with Akagi, and had not yet witnessed the reunion of the Sakura Empire together, but the other party left so suddenly, and was gone before she could even prepare.

Regret, remorse, grief... and other emotions intertwined in his heart, causing Tiancheng to lose his usual calm and composed attitude. He cried like an ordinary person who had lost his loved ones.

Seeing Tiancheng's unstable appearance, Ajax and Zhenhai knew that she was venting her sadness, so they did not speak to comfort her.

They were just observing the map and discussing in low voices the chain reaction after the sinking of Akagi.

"If I hadn't gotten Kaga's confirmation, I wouldn't have believed that Akagi would sink in such a shabby place."

With his brows furrowed, Ajax took over the conversation and said, "I feel the same way. The red fox sank so easily... It's really ridiculous."

No one can predict the outcome of a battle. Apart from strength, it's all just a matter of luck. Ajax had thought that many of his companions would perish in the battle of Diehai Menghua.

There might even be a situation where New Jersey and his team failed to defeat Tempalans and were completely wiped out, but she did not expect that Akagi would be the first victim among them, and his death would be somewhat ridiculous.

"I'm a little worried about Piggy's situation now. It means that Akagi's mental link has suddenly been severed... He'll go crazy regardless of whether he's currently fighting Enpress or not."

The sinking of Akagi affected not only Amagi and Kaga, but the commander Xia Bai was the one who suffered the most.

With his personality, after discovering that Akagi's existence disappeared from his mind, he would not abide by the so-called "rules". He should use his trump card to break this space and let everyone out.

Things actually turned out like this. The sinking of Akagi caught Ajax off guard. The joy of completely conquering Zone E disappeared, and was replaced by worry about Xia Bai.

Piggy, before you joined this battle, were you prepared for the wedding ship to sink... or had you never thought about such a thing?

Ajax silently prayed that Xia Bai would not be blinded by hatred and do something unwise.

......

After returning to Area B and receiving instructions from the command center, Kaga and others immediately took advantage of the short rest time to conduct a post-war summary, mainly to determine who the flagship of this mixed fleet was.

The flagship is the core of the fleet, responsible for wartime command and personnel arrangements. Generally speaking, any type of ship can become a flagship, but generally speaking, strength is the priority.

There is no other reason. The flagship is the flag of the fleet. No ship girl wants to see the flag representing her side broken while she is flying. This will greatly affect morale.

By the way, the flagship of the small fleet originally led by Kaga was Akagi, but after Akagi sank, Kaga took over this position on his own initiative.

Now that Frederick the Great and Hutten were added to the fleet, Kaga, whose mind had not yet completely stabilized, consciously gave up the choice of becoming the flagship.

"I'm not very good at commanding, so Frederick the Great will be the flagship."

"Me?"

Tilting his head slightly, Frederick the Great said slowly, "If we run into Temparans, I won't have the energy to command the fleet."

Raising his eyebrows, Hu Teng calmly analyzed: "Then wait until we meet Temparance. Kaga is in a state of uncertainty, the Duke of York has not recovered yet, and Zeppelin has that kind of personality."

"So you are the most suitable person to be the flagship right now."

With a smile on his face, Frederick the Great pointed at Eugen and said, "Isn't there still a cabinet minister from our Red Axis?"

"Eugen is better than me in terms of preparing for battle."

When both the battleship and the aircraft carrier refused the flagship position, Prince Eugen was inexplicably caught in the crossfire and became the flagship of this mixed fleet.

Chapter 268 Xia Bai: I never thought of pinching

Inside the ruined building.

Xuefeng squatted in the corner with his hands on his knees, guarding the Duke of York lying on the ground.

The battle was over, but her duty was not over. As a frigate, she had to wait until the Duke of York fully recovered.

Shedding tears silently, Xuefeng buried his head in his knees and muttered to himself.

"It's like this again. It's obvious that Yukikaze-sama was only a temporary escort... Didn't Akagi-sister get the corresponding luck?"

Akagi sank before his eyes. This scene was far more shocking to Xuefeng than to others. Although the red fox had a strong personality and was not approachable.

But he was very gentle to the Sakura Empire's little ship girls, never letting them get involved in the higher-ups' affairs, and fulfilled his duties as a senior very well.

In fact, more destroyers like Akagi than the pretentiously majestic and difficult-to-approach Nagato, and the same is true for Yukikaze.

When Akagi said she needed a frigate, Yukikaze volunteered to stand beside her, but the reality was so cruel.

However, not long after it became a frigate, Akagi was hit by beams from several Breakers and sank on the spot.

If this was just a coincidence, then it would be hard to explain why when Xuefeng held back her grief and ran to protect the Duke of York, the other side was subjected to cluster bombing by a group of carrier-based aircraft.

Just as the reputation in history has it, Xuefeng is a lucky star, but also an unlucky one. She will kill all the ships fighting alongside her, but no matter how fierce the battle is, she can always remain intact...

"Xuefeng, Xuefeng doesn't want this luck anymore... Wuwuwu, Xuefeng just wants Sister Akagi to come back."

The Duke of York's serious injury made Xuefeng believe that it was her fault that killed Akagi. For the first time in her life, she began to hate her own "luck."

Slowly walking into the ruined building, Kaga glanced at the Duke of York on the ground, then looked at Xuefeng who was crying bitterly, and said expressionlessly: "I called you outside but you didn't respond. It turns out you were hiding here crying."

"The Duke of York has someone else to take care of him. Now you accompany me to find the Siren of Wisdom hidden in Area B."

Hearing this, Xuefeng's petite body trembled. She raised her head, revealing her tear-stained face, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Kaga, do you want Xuefeng to be the escort ship..."
