Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Now, both sides are important.

Akagi is one of the main objectives of this operation, and Rob can't afford to give it up.

If the Sakura Empire's fleet is not intercepted, thus causing Sakura Empire to lose its ability to leave port in a short period of time, the coastline of the Eastern Empire will likely be in turmoil, which is not something he wants to see.

"Hmph~ Robo, leave the task of intercepting the Sakura Empire fleet to me!"

New Jersey noticed Rob's concerns and stepped in to help.

"No one here is better suited to ambush than me!"

New Jersey's confidence is not without reason; GN particles can indeed achieve optical invisibility.

"New Jersey, are you sure? Your invisibility ability requires you to stay completely still. The Sakura Empire fleet hasn't even shown up yet. I estimate they won't arrive until at least dawn."

It was obvious to the naked eye that New Jersey hesitated.

For someone as naturally lively as her, standing still for hours on end is indeed a considerable challenge.

"No...no problem!"

Rob stared intently at New Jersey for a long time.

In terms of strength, New Jersey is undoubtedly not afraid of the Sakura Empire's fleet.

Right now, the most formidable fighters in the port area are her and Anshan after their merger.

But Rob always felt that this simpleton was going to cause him some trouble.

"Commander, let's do it this way. There's no other way right now."

Seeing that Luo Bo couldn't make a decision, Zhenhai gave him a push to help him decide.

"Alright, New Jersey, I'll leave this place to you. But remember, don't make any rash moves. If everything goes smoothly, I'll have enough time to get here after I've dealt with things over there."

"Hehehe~ Don't worry, Rob, I have a feeling that this time, I will meet my destined rival!"

Finally, leaving New Jersey behind as its silhouette gradually disappeared on the sea, the white wooden horse sped off towards the Sacred Tree.

Chapter 175: You must attack the target with the taunt first.

When the white wooden horse carrying Rob and his family's ships arrived in the waters near the Sacred Tree, the scene before them truly astonished everyone.

Black and red flames scorched the giant tree, which was reduced to mere branches. On the sea, the trails left by the flames were straight, seemingly dividing the sea into several sections.

Rob was lucky; he arrived just as the attack was in progress.

Looking around, there were already quite a few Sakura Empire ships lying scattered on the sea. Among them, Robo recognized two: Nagato's bodyguard, Eifu, and Atago, who was from the Takao class.

Even the other ships that were still standing on the sea surface had some damage, more or less.

Therefore, for comrades who are unable to move, all the Sakura Empire's ships can do is take advantage of the gaps in their attacks to drag them to places where there are no flames burning, and then pray that they will not be affected in the next round of attacks.

A massive warship appeared from behind, and the Sakura Empire's ships all turned to look up at the sky.

Mikasa, who was quite familiar with the white wooden horse, immediately recognized it as Robo's ride, and her eyes instantly lit up with hope.

Little did they know, Robo had just plowed through several of Sakura Empire's ports, even loosening the soil.

"Hey bro, it's so great to see you!"

On the communicator came Mikasa Daisenbei's joyful voice, and Rob really didn't know how to respond.

Therefore, he chose to change the subject and directly asked about Akagi's current situation.

Mikasa was well aware of the seriousness of the situation, so she quickly explained Akagi's current predicament.

After listening, Rob released his own ships and began to think of a countermeasure.

First of all, the white wooden horse must retreat.

Ships can still play around with glancing blows, but the White Trojan Horse doesn't need to consider this issue. Once the Akagi launches an attack, it can only take the hit head-on.

Then, the black and red flames that Akagi is now releasing have a burning property that is extremely effective against energy weapons.

Then Rob glanced at the ships under his command.

Long-range weapons are basically all energy weapons, whether they are beams or particles, they are no longer effective.

Only the weapons of Yixian and the Dragon Tiger King of Anshan might have some effect.

It's a pity that my little sister hasn't evolved into a Crystal Unicorn yet, otherwise this wouldn't be a problem, right?

...

The moment Robb family's ships appeared on the battlefield, they immediately attracted the attention of all the ships present.

The new ship equipment is a legendary product that has only appeared in recent years.

In the entire Sakura Empire, only the Fifth Carrier Division sisters possess this.

Now, suddenly, so many ships have appeared before us. If the timing weren't so bad, these ships would definitely surround us.

Anyway, Mikasa Daisenbei and the person opposite seemed to know each other quite well.

The Sakura Empire's ships were watching the girls from the Robo family, while Akagi on the other side was also staring intently at them.

Especially those companies that stand out after they spread their wings.

My previously empty mind was suddenly flooded with some not-so-pleasant memories.

For this reason, the regular attacks of the sacred tree also stopped.

This actually gave the Sakura Empire ships a chance to catch their breath. Taking advantage of this gap, the Sakura Empire ships that were still able to move dragged their heavily injured comrades and quickly retreated.

"Big Fox Sister!"

To the astonishment of Noshiro and the others, the unicorn in white armor pounced into Shinano's arms.

This situation left not only the Sakura Empire ships present, but even Rob himself was stunned.

When did my younger sister meet that big white fox across the street?

"Hmm~ I never expected to meet you here... Is this fate..."

The prolonged activity had left the sleepy ship somewhat drowsy. Perhaps if she weren't still on the battlefield, she would have already drifted off into a sweet dream.

"Everything...started...with you..."

Since his "transformation," Akagi, who hadn't uttered a single word, stared at Rob's company for a long time, as if a switch had been flipped, and regained some of his speech.

Then, the black and red flames that had been dancing motionless on the sea surface suddenly came to life.

They began to converge in one place.

This change has put ships, both on the sea and in the sky, on high alert.

Because this is a situation that has never occurred before.

The flames gradually gathered, and a huge, ferocious fire beast finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Is this...the same move from before?"

The strong sense of déjà vu reminded the company of the scene when it fought against Akagi Kaga.

Then, some more flames flew into the sky, began to transform in mid-air, and turned into the shapes of carrier-based aircraft.

After doing all this, the flames on the sacred tree behind Akagi surged, as if they would burst forth at any moment.

Everyone was on high alert, awaiting Akagi's next attack.

However, unlike before when she attacked aimlessly, or rather, everyone was her target.

This time, Akagi's goal was quite clear: the Rob family's business.

An unintelligible roar escaped his lips, and Akagi's expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, like that of a real wild beast.

The fiery behemoth made the first move, leaping across the battlefield and pouncing directly on the company's head.

Then, the sacred tree emitted a sound as if something had shattered, and a large number of black light orbs, sandwiched between several dark beams of light, shot towards the company.

Then countless black butterflies gradually filled the sky, like a black storm sweeping towards the company.

All attacks have only one target.

The company's expression tightened, and it immediately retreated to the rear, consciously increasing its altitude.

During the retreat, the two railguns at her waist were not idle, firing continuously at the fire behemoth.

Under the Enterprise's attack, the fire behemoth had to divert a significant portion of its flames to defend itself and devour the Enterprise's projectiles, thus preventing the behemoth's attack from achieving its intended effect.

"support!"

Robb watched with growing anxiety. He had no confidence his company could withstand such a massive and concentrated attack.

He immediately issued an order for the ships present to provide support to the company.

As one of the few surface vessels brought by the Robb family this time, Richelieu truly deserves the title of the faction's flagship.

Her reaction was even faster than that of the refitted ships.

Eight armor-piercing shells streaked across the sky, heading directly towards Akagi.

Following her came the Sakura Empire's artillery fire. Ships that could still stand on the sea after several attacks were the cream of the crop of the Sakura Empire's elite forces.

"Commander, I have another idea. Do you think that tree behind us could be attacked?"

Because all of Joan of Arc's weapons were energy weapons, and the Destruction Rifle really only had a few shots, she could only find an angle to carefully observe everything on the battlefield and look for a breakthrough.

She discovered that everyone's attacks were directed at Akagi.

But now the most troublesome attacks seem to be coming from that tree.

So she thought she could give it a try.

Chapter 176: When pioneering new lands, please follow the established procedures without worry; skipping classes is unacceptable!

"You mean, attack the Sacred Tree?"

After listening to Joan of Arc's advice, Rob suddenly felt that this matter might have some potential!

However, just to be on the safe side, he decided to ask Mikasa Daisenbei first.

It wasn't that Robo was worried about the negative impact of blowing up the tree on Sakura Empire's ships; he didn't care about that at all right now.

The main problem is that, apart from Nagato, nobody else is familiar with this thing.

Rob was worried that if this thing had some kind of self-destruct program, and he fired a shot at it, the tree would instantly turn into a giant explosion, and then he'd be in big trouble.

Rob's suggestion was immediately met with opposition from many Sakura Empire ships.

The sacred tree is a crucial symbol of the Sakura Empire.

However, Nagato, who had been staying in the Sacred Tree, did not offer any opinion on Robo's suggestion.

"I can no longer control the Sacred Tree."

"Therefore, I do not know what the consequences would be if I attacked it rashly, but I can hear the souls resting in the sacred tree wailing."

"so..."

At this point, Nagato lowered his head, unable to continue.

Pain was etched on that childlike face.

This place holds some of her few cherished memories, and now she must watch, and perhaps even do, destroy it herself.

"Isn't this saying nothing at all?"

Compared to Nagato's reluctance, Robo's reaction was more one of utter frustration.

Upon hearing Nagato's words, Rob could only acknowledge that they were indeed true.

On the battlefield, the company did not show much panic when faced with Akagi's repeated attacks.

She made full use of the Strike Freedom's maneuverability, performing various acrobatic maneuvers in the air.

Every now and then, she would spread her radiant wings, adding a touch of light to the gloomy sky.

Because he focused all his energy on the company, Akagi was always on the defensive against attacks from others.

If an attack comes, use fire to defend against it; if that doesn't work, then just take it.

It was only then that everyone realized that the flames, which had a devastating effect on ship equipment, could actually repair Akagi's own ship equipment.

This caused all the ships present to shout that it was a blatant act of cheating.

However, this did provide an idea for Rob, since no matter how fast you recover health, the premise is that you are not killed in one move.
