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

After taking the red tip, Ron looked at Xia Bai curiously, but didn't say anything else. He hurried to repair his injuries.

Putting his hand on the thrust lever, Xia Bai seemed to have thought of something, and turned back to the thoughtful Kaga and said, "A large group of sirens were found on the radar. Kaga, are you interested in taking action?"

His thoughts were interrupted, Kaga looked up at Xia Bai and asked, "How strong are you?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, I scanned a large area of ​​sirens. What do you think? Are you interested?"

Waving his hand, Kaga said calmly: "Then Commander, you should handle it yourself quickly. I don't want to fight with a weak guy."

Kaga is very troubled by the current situation. Even though Tsukuyomi is so powerful, she can't find an opponent worthy of fighting. She really has no interest in ravaging the weak Sirens.

Well, actually Xia Bai was not interested either. He was even thinking of letting Kaga control Tsukuyomi so that he could slack off, but since the other party said so, he could only force himself to concentrate.

A lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit, and he doesn't want to fall over for some strange reason.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai pulled down the push rod on the operating table and turned on the button.

With a soft hum, the fuselage trembled slightly, and the cross crystal gun in Tsukuyomi's hand began to emit light.

Tsukuten Cross, the name of Tsukuyomi's crystal cross gun, is also its most important weapon.

'The history of mankind is about to begin. Next, all we have to do is play the hymn.' When Xia Bai opened the weapon list, he could only see this sentence from the instructions for using the Moon Sky Cross.

However, the feeling in his heart made Xia Bai know the general effect of the Tsukushi Cross. He saw Tsukuyomi holding the spear and waving it hard towards the sky, and a dark field appeared out of thin air and enveloped the surrounding sea.

Eternal night fell in an instant, and Tsukuyomi floating in the air seemed like a true god descending.

'Dark Moon·Eternal Night' is the name of the move, not chosen by Xia Bai. No matter how stupid he is, he has no habit of naming moves during battle.

All he could say was that the feeling in his heart told him that this was the name.

In addition to using the stance called the God of Protection to cover the sea area to create an environment of eternal night to adapt to one's own combat, this move has other uses.

I saw the moon behind me gradually emitting light, and several dark shadows quickly emerged from it and flew towards the Siren scanned by the radar.

Tsukuyomi continued to float in the air, motionless, waiting for the battle report from the Moon Phantom.

Chapter 42: Assassinating the King

"Falcon, what's the situation in front of us... I can't seem to hear the sound of fighting."

Facing Nagato's question, Hayate replied: "Please wait a moment, Lord Nagato. Hayate's carrier-based aircraft are on their way to the battlefield and will get the news soon."

With his little faces squeezed together, Nagato nodded slightly, gave orders to continue advancing, and waited for the battle report.

She had a bad feeling in her heart, like a shadow hovering over the fleet.

As if he could see what Nagato was thinking, Amagi asked softly, "Nagato-sama, are you considering that the battle ahead will end with the failure of the ship girl?"

"Well, I'm getting close to the battlefield, but I can't hear any sound... I'm worried that they've been wiped out, and I have a bad feeling."

Hearing this, Tiancheng put away the red umbrella in his hand with a serious expression.

As the daughter of the gods of the Sakura Empire, Nagato's premonition was very accurate. The ship girl ahead was probably in great danger.

Maybe the Sirens deliberately set an ambush to lure the Combined Fleet over. After all, the existence of the Intelligent Sirens is not a secret to Azur Lane.

"Under these circumstances, Nagato-sama still insists on going...even if it's an ambush."

Standing on the fox, Nagato's petite figure looked very tall and straight, and he said confidently: "Of course, I will not abandon any of my companions."

"If this is really an ambush, then let the Siren see the power of the Sakura Empire."

Looking at Nagato's figure, Amagi lowered his eyes slightly, feeling that although the other party was still a little immature, he was already a qualified chief flagship.

Her determination to not give up on her companions and her kindness in her heart are also the reasons why she chose Nagato. Although Akagi has a close relationship with her, she is not suitable to be the flagship.

At this moment, a dark position quickly spread, the bright sky became dim, the sun seemed to be swallowed up, and the bright full moon hung high in the sky.

"What is this? The Mirror Sea!"

Before Nagato could react, Falcon's shout rang out from the side.

"Sir Nagato, my carrier-based aircraft was shot down by a black shadow!"

Their premonition comes true, as they are ambushed by the Sirens and pulled into the Mirror Sea.

Nagato lived up to his dignity as the flagship and immediately gave the order: "Level 1 alert, disarm the warships, and engage the enemy with all forces!"

"Amagi, please notify the first and third torpedo squadrons and tell them not to advance rashly. Instead, escort the fleet and disperse."

"Falcon, have the others release the reconnaissance aircraft. In this environment, I need more intelligence."

"I want to see if the Siren has the ability to eat us."

"Yes!" x2

She acted decisively and accurately without any hesitation, issuing orders. She first adopted a defensive formation to test the opponent's strength, and then struck hard after making an estimate. Nagato's growth was extremely rapid, and at least in terms of battlefield command, she could already stand on her own.

Then things did not develop as Nagato expected, or no one could have predicted what would happen next.

When the huge fleet retracted their warships' weapons and deployed their equipment to take combat stances, three black shadows had already appeared in front of them.

The whole process was silent, without any movement, as if they had always been there, looking scary and weird in the dim environment.

"Fire!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Moon Phantom, Nagato immediately gave orders, deployed his ship equipment, and began firing with his proud 410mm twin-mounted gun.

Hesitation will lead to defeat. No matter whether the opponent is a special Siren or not, just fight first.

Following Nagato's order, with the sound of 410mm as a signal, the Sakura Empire shipgirls aimed their firepower at the three moon shadows.

Torpedoes, main guns, carrier-based aircraft... the dim battlefield was suddenly illuminated, with loud roars and smoke filling the battlefield.

However, after one round of fire, all the bombs and torpedoes passed through the shadows and hit nothing.

"Is it some kind of projection?"

Confused, Nagato sought answers from Amagi.

But now Tiancheng's face was very ugly. She pursed her pale lips and said, "No, it's not a projection. Falcon Eagle just said that his carrier-based aircraft was shot down by Black Shadow."

"I'm afraid... our attacks just have no effect on it."

Before he finished speaking, three moon phantoms raised their spears at the same time, and azure light flashed continuously.

The sky and the earth seemed to be turned upside down, all the sounds around disappeared, and the full moon reflected on the water quickly expanded.

The battlefield echoed with the crisp sound of dripping water and the emotionless sound of machinery.

"My destiny is to rule the food of the night. I am the moon - I am respected on a moonlit night."

"Let me ask you, are you a human being?"

The moon reflected in the water emitted a faint light, and a semicircular wall of light, with the full moon as the boundary, imprisoned all members of the combined fleet.

Her pupils contracted. Faced with such great power, Nagato gave up the thought of resisting. She could clearly sense the power contained in this wall of light, not to mention the dark blue flames burning on it. As long as the combined fleet moved, it would suffer a violent counterattack.

So she signaled Amagi with her little hand to tell the others to stay put, summoned the fox to stand on top of it, faced the moon phantom and said: "I am not a human, I am Nagato, Nagato of the Sakura Empire."

Since the other party did not take action immediately, it meant that there was a possibility of communication. Calling himself "Tsukiyomi-son" also gave Nagato some strange ideas.

Maybe this thing was made by Akashi.

"..."

In response to Nagato's answer, the Moon Phantom was obviously out of service. It only had basic operating methods. Xia Bai's order was to attack the Sirens, but when it arrived, there were no Sirens, only a huge fleet.

There was no friendly identification code of the Combined Fleet in its database. In order to avoid accidental injuries, it blew up its own door and asked if the other party was human. If the other party did not answer or answered no, it would destroy them all.

But now it is in a dilemma. The other party calls himself Nagato. In its database, Nagato is the flagship of Sakura Empire, but there is no friendly identification on the other party.

What should I do?

After analyzing it for a while, Moon Phantom decided to send this difficult problem back and let the main body solve it. Then he stopped answering and continued to imprison the Combined Fleet.

Nagato breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Moon Phantom was no longer moving. Although she didn't know what was going on, the other party didn't annihilate them after hearing her answer.

Nagato jumped from the fox into the water and ran quickly to Amagi with his slender legs.

"What do you think we should do now? The other party is clearly more powerful than we can match."

Tiancheng, who was lost in thought, was interrupted. He glanced at the dark blue flame on the light wall and chuckled.

"Nagato-sama has really grown up. He can analyze these things so quickly... ahem."

"Don't worry, the other party should not be an enemy... As for the purpose of imprisoning us, I guess it should be related to Akagi."

Chapter 43: Damn! Run!

The phantom looked like a mecha and did not choose to communicate directly. In addition, seeing the familiar flames on the light wall, Amagi was 8% sure that the true identity of the phantom was Mr. 02 who had already arrived in Sakura Empire.

As for why the other party attacked them, it could only be that they were instigated or deceived by Akagi and took action to overthrow their superiors.

Maybe once I return to Sakura Empire, I'll be able to hear the garrison shouting "Kill Nagato, respect Akagi".

There was some struggle in his eyes, and Amagi frowned and looked towards the main island of Sakura. Could it be that you have lost your patience? Akagi...

But it was obvious that no matter how smart Tiancheng was, she could not have imagined that this was just a misunderstanding.

And not far away on the other side.

Xia Bai listened to the audio sent back by Moon Phantom with a very strange expression. If you looked closely, you could see the blush on his face.

"I am not a human, I am Nagato, Nagato of the Sakura Empire."

"Um, Kaga, did you say that was Nagato's voice?"

As if grasping the last straw, Xia Bai asked Kaga, saying that among the four people in the cockpit, she should know Nagato best.

"Who else but our Sakura Empire's flagship can speak in this way?" Kaga rolled his eyes at Xia Bai and crossed his arms over his chest and said calmly, "Commander, you'd better hope that there are no casualties. Tsk, we actually ran into them now."

"No way. This is the only information the Moon Phantom gave me. It shouldn't have taken any action... maybe?"

The last straw was cruelly pulled out by Kaga. As Xia Bai accepted the reality, his voice became increasingly weak.

Hearing this, Sheffield shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Master, have you not made any progress in the past three months? You can take action even when you don't know if it's an enemy or not."

Judging from the maid's expression at this moment, she seemed very disappointed with Xia Bai.

"I think, even if I am 99% wrong, Nagato is not even 1% wrong?"

"Let's have a rational discussion. A big brother like Nagato is about to enter the territorial waters of the Sakura Empire. It's unreasonable for him not to send a message to inform the sisters stationed there, right?"

After hearing Xia Bai's conclusion of trying to shift the blame, Sheffield's eyes revealed a teasing look: "I was wrong. Master, you have made a lot of progress in the past three months, only in terms of your thick skin."

Seeing Xia Bai scratching his head and wanting to say something, she continued, "Stop being funny. Master, go and explain to Nagato."

"Otherwise this could easily cause a diplomatic incident. The son of Prometheus colluded with Akagi to assassinate Nagato. I don't think the owner would want to see this kind of news on the forum the next day."

Well, it seems that I have to take all the blame. I just hope that Lord Nagato, the commander-in-chief, will be magnanimous and let him go.

After connecting to the Moon Phantom through the Tsukuyomi main body, Xia Bai cleared his throat and said to the communicator: "Ahem, um... I'm RX-02 Xia Bai. Excuse me, are you really Nagato, the flagship of the Sakura Empire?"

The voice was accurately transmitted to Nagato's ears through the Moon Phantom. Puzzled, she replied, "I am Nagato, the flagship commander. No one should reveal my identity. Why did you imprison us..."

Before Nagato could finish his words, the wall of light shattered, the stance disappeared, and everything returned to its original state.

"Misunderstanding, this is a huge misunderstanding. Didn't the friendly forces mistake you for sirens?"

"..."

To be honest, Nagato didn't quite believe what Xia Bai said. After all, it was just a coincidence that he encountered such a thing just as he was about to enter the territorial waters of the Sakura Empire. It was hard not to wonder if this was a show of force from Akagi.

But since the other party said so, she let down her guard and went down the ladder, planning to investigate further after returning to Sakura Empire.

"Since it is a misunderstanding, there is no problem. Just wait until I go to the Sakura Empire to talk to you in person."

After Nagato finished speaking, the three shadows in front of him disappeared without a trace, and the combined fleet gathered together again and began to move forward.

Xia Bai quickly controlled Tsukuyomi and ran back to Sakura Empire. It would be too awkward to meet now, so he decided to wait until Nagato came back and explain everything in person.

Tsukuyomi was very fast and had already returned to the sky above his courtyard before the Combined Fleet set sail. As soon as he got out of the cockpit with his men, he was surrounded by Shokaku and others who could not wait any longer.

"Commander, why did you rush out with Kaga...Sheffield!?"

Just as he was about to ask about Xia Bai's situation, Shokaku exclaimed when he saw Sheffield jump out of the cockpit after him.

Sheffield bowed slightly, his face expressionless, and said calmly: "Long time no see, Shokaku."

Glancing at Xia Bai, and then at Kaga who had nothing to do with the matter, Shokaku calmed down and said with a smile: "Long time no see... Sheffield, why are you in Sakura?"

"It's a long story, but the master has something to announce, so why not listen to him before we continue."

After hearing Sheffield's words, the others looked at Xia Bai, who looked a little embarrassed.

"Um, Nagato has already arrived outside the Sakura Empire, so you should go and greet him, and make preparations as needed."
