Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Not long after leaving the outpost, an unusual thick fog rose over the sea.

"Notify all fleets to remain in place and not to make any rash moves."

As the commander-in-chief on the Royal side, Hood decisively issued the order to halt the advance.

Standing on the sea, Hood stretched out her arms, and then she saw that her fingers were already somewhat blurry.

"This is truly an exaggeratedly dense fog..."

"Hood, do you think this fog is a siren tactic?"

The Prince of Wales' voice pierced through the fog and reached Hood's ears.

If Hood hadn't known the other person was standing right next to him, he would have been quite startled by the voice.

"Without a doubt, it was a Siren tactic."

"However, we have no means of countermeasures."

Withdrawing his hand, Hu De smoothed the hair on his forehead.

In this large-scale operation, all aspects encountered entirely new models of Sirens.

Moreover, it's as if the Sirens know their route in advance; all the enemies are quietly waiting for them to run into them.

This feeling made Hood very uncomfortable.

Generally speaking, when this happens, the war becomes very difficult to continue.

However, their side is now trapped in place by this sudden thick fog and cannot move, and even retreat is a pipe dream.

Let's wait and see...

...

It must be said that this Royal Fleet was much luckier than the one in Essex.

The Sirens originally intended to annihilate the fleet in the fog.

However, the sudden appearance of the key point G drew the Sirens' attention, and so the Royal Fleet was left in the fog, ignored by everyone.

The White Eagles and Royals' attacks were thwarted, and Robb's situation wasn't much better.

Originally, Rob's attack went relatively smoothly. If the Sirens, who crouched down and covered their heads in defense, were deployed on other battlefields, they would have caused considerable trouble for the ships.

However, under Rob's diverse attacks, the Sirens' gravity manipulation, which should have been quite troublesome, turned out to be nothing special.

Thus, Rob's side made great strides in the initial stages.

However, as the saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

Of the four war zones, Rob's side was fighting particularly smoothly, which naturally attracted the attention of the Sirens.

"A rather interesting...toy."

"Hermet, I've found something interesting here. Let's go take a look."

He forwarded the intelligence he had received from the front lines to Hermit. This Siren arbitration body, which was similar to the Skypalans, decided to personally meet these things that had never appeared in other test sites.

...

Another siren, whom Robo had never seen before, blocked the way for his group.

Surrounded by a group of sirens, this dark-skinned siren, covered in hideous scars, observed the Robb family girls with great interest.

"Very...interesting."

"However, let's come down from the sky first."

Before the siren could make any move, the sea suddenly began to boil.

The seawater seemed to be affected by some unknown force, and it began to surge.

Then, all the ships simultaneously felt an unprecedented heaviness in their bodies.

Even the ships that had been refitted with new mechs couldn't withstand the sudden increase in weight and fell from the sky onto the sea.

The two warships were the most severely affected by this situation.

The sudden acceleration and descent threw the people on the bridge into a panic.

The siren seemed quite satisfied with its masterpiece.

She walked alone out of the Sirens' lines and came to Rob's side.

She grabbed her massive claw-like ship armor, clenched it into a fist, and slammed it forcefully into the sea.

Huge waves instantly spread across the sea, followed by arrows made of black light projectiles.

The black light bullet accelerated, breaking through the waves and attacking Rob.

The numerous ships under attack naturally did not remain unresponsive; rather than passively defending, they were always more accustomed to taking the initiative in attack.

After adjusting to the sudden change in gravity, Yi Xian, who was at the front of the group, chose to rush across the sea directly.

Facing the siren's light projectiles and the waves behind him, Yi Xian carved a wave on the sea surface.

After dodging the black light bullets, she swung her fist and slammed it heavily into the waves, shattering the massive wave with her punch.

At the same time, her other hand was not idle either. The glove that her body had transformed into detached from her hand, trailing flames, and flew towards the Sirens.

"Black Tortoise Steel Bullet!"

At the same time, Joan of Arc's ZERO system on her chest also began to operate, and she quickly completed the analysis of the battlefield.

With a flap of her wings, Joan of Arc instantly flew to the other side of the Sirens.

The double-barreled destroyer in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and a huge, bright beam of light shone towards the unknown Sirens.

"Dragon Tiger King - Mountain Moving Technique!"

In the sky, a massive mountain crashed down on the Sirens. With the help of the Sirens' own gravity field, the attack was likely to be even more effective than usual.

"Humph..."

The dark-skinned siren glanced at the attacks coming at him from all directions and simply snorted.

With a stomp of her beast-claw-like boots on the sea, a wave spread outwards.

The increased gravity that was originally felt was actually reduced after the wave spread out.

The ships, which had just returned to the air, almost lost control of their attitude due to this unexpected turn of events and were sent flying into the sky.

The sacred mountain summoned from Anshan, which had originally been receiving gravity, now resisted it, and the downward momentum immediately slowed down.

Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the reduced gravity, the siren leaped across the battlefield and landed in front of Yi Xian.

Joan of Arc and Anshan's attack naturally failed.

The Enterprise's Dragoons and the Cleveland Squad's Swordbreakers stood in front of the Siren.

The beams of light emanating from these weapons wove a bright net in front of her, waiting for her to walk right into it.

Faced with the imminent attack, the siren took no action; she simply walked right through the barrage of fire.

The high-energy beam of light left trails of white smoke on her body and ship rigging.

She seemed completely unconcerned about these things.

She simply raised her fist and slammed it down heavily on Yi Xian, who was charging towards her.

A massive shockwave erupted from the point where Yi Xian and Siren's fists collided, and the roar instantly reverberated throughout the entire battlefield.

The impact sent Yi Xian and the siren flying simultaneously, and due to the reduced gravity, the two flew an exceptionally far.

"good..."

Seeing the obvious dent on his claw-shaped ship armor, the Siren's previously expressionless face broke into a smile.

Chapter 245: Bitter Struggle

While the battle raged fiercely on the sea, Rob finally awoke from his coma on the white wooden horse.

Originally, Rob, who was sitting steadily in his seat, should have been fine during the warship's recent descent.

However, he forgot that besides himself, there was also a small white cat on the white rocking horse.

Just before the white wooden horse plummeted, Yukikaze was staring at the instruments on the ship, occasionally poking at them out of curiosity.

Immediately afterwards, the white wooden horse suddenly plummeted, causing Yukikaze to somersault backward in mid-air.

If no one had cushioned her fall, she would have been seriously injured.

But this is Yukikaze.

And so, without anyone knowing what happened, Yukikaze somersaulted in mid-air and landed on Robo.

With an acceleration of several Gs, the Yukikaze collided violently with Robo's forehead.

On the spot, Luo's vision went black and he fainted.

...

"Hiss... Belfast, what's going on?"

Under the concerned gaze of the head maid, Rob finally woke up.

Upon waking up, he immediately inquired about the current situation on the battlefield.

"The enemy... is troublesome."

Belfast pondered for a moment, then said somewhat hesitantly.

"Hmm? Let me see..."

Rob looked at the battlefield with some hesitation, and then he saw a scene that he found hard to accept.

The unidentified Siren with its dark skin managed to fight to a standstill against more than ten of his ships that had undergone mechanical transformations.

"This is..."

"Master, she just introduced herself."

“She said she was the Siren Arbitration Authority Strencus VIII.”

...

On the battlefield, the Siren named Strencus fully demonstrated what it means to be a top-tier Siren fighter.

As a cruiser-type Siren, she possesses firepower comparable to that of a battleship and an almost terrifying firepower projection.

Centered on her, all sorts of light bullets floated across the sea.

Even more outrageous is that some of these light projectiles actually travel from the outside in.

Furthermore, these light projectiles are equally effective against aerial targets, unlike other Siren models which are significantly weaker against air units than against surface targets.

If that's all there is to it, it's clearly far from enough to withstand the siege of Robb's ships.

Besides her formidable firepower, this siren also possesses exceptional defensive capabilities.

After raising her shield, she could even take a direct hit from Joan of Arc's double-barreled destroyer rifle without taking a scratch.

"Dragon King Mountain-Shattering Sword - Reverse Scale Severing!"

Just as Strencus interrupted Yixian's move with a punch, Anshan attacked from behind her.

"Heh~"

With a cold laugh, a deep black sphere suddenly appeared at the foot of Anshan.

This black sphere, like a miniature black hole, pulled Anshan, who was still in mid-air, directly towards it.

The surrounding light projectiles were also affected by this "black hole" and converged towards Anshan.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Anshan had no choice but to forcibly change direction and slash his sword at the black sphere.

The Mountain-Breaking Sword, enveloped in purple lightning, easily shattered the black sphere, but Anshan lost an opportunity to attack as a result.

"Make way, everyone!"

In the sky, a huge pillar of light that stretched across the heavens crashed down on Strencus.

Seeing this, Yi Xian and Baltimore, who were still locked in combat with Strencus, slapped Strencus's large claw hard and used the recoil to retreat to the outer perimeter.

Despite being surrounded by the beam of light, Strencus showed no sign of panic.

Her golden eyes were fixed on the ship that had just been fighting her.
