Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Immediately afterwards, she accelerated and caught up with Yixian, standing right next to her.

Yi Xian was startled and immediately understood the other party's intention.

So, Yi Xian kicked out and struck Strencus's unprotected waist.

With a "ding," Yi Xian's kick was blocked by Strynkus's large claw.

At that moment, the New Jersey lightsaber was about to fall on their heads.

This time, however, Strencus didn't even bother to deploy her shield; she was still trying to attack Yixian.

Finally, New Jersey in the sky used all its strength to deflect the great lightsaber at a certain angle, preventing it from striking Yi Xian and Strencus on the head.

Without the fear of the great lightsaber overhead, Strencus's attacks became even more ferocious.

Although she was simply throwing punches, the power contained in each punch was as heavy as her name suggests.

Yi Xian gritted her teeth and charged forward to meet Strencus's fist.

With a slight tilt of her head, the other party's huge metal hand grazed her cheek, leaving a conspicuous wound.

"Restrictions lifted."

Countless light projectiles erupted from Strencus's body, creating a cloud of smoke.

Strencus is strong in close combat, but close-range combat is also her weakness.

Neither gravity manipulation nor shields can be used when the user is nearby.

Therefore, she had no choice but to take Yi Xian's attack squarely.

Since the start of the war, Strencus has finally suffered its most severe blow.

However, seemingly having something to rely on, she did not choose to defend herself against Yi Xian's fierce attack, but instead swung her fist down.

Amidst the smoke, the sounds of fists clashing filled the air.

Ultimately, Yi Xian's years of experience in boxing gave her the upper hand in terms of technique, and she kicked Strencus away, exposing him.

Code name: Qilin!

Following Strencus out of the smoke, Yi Xian completed the attack, and the newly added wounds on his opponent's body were so striking.

However, Yi Xian did not come without paying a price.

There were many new wounds on her face and body, from which bright red blood was flowing.

"Not bad, but... too reckless."

Strencus, who had eaten Yixian's Qilin, was pushed back a considerable distance on the sea before regaining his footing.

Strencus glanced at the attacks coming from the others, and a faint light suddenly appeared on his body.

The newly inflicted wounds seemed to come alive, and began to wriggle incessantly.

A few seconds later, the skin in these areas became as if it were newly grown, without any flaws.

"You're not quite there yet if you want to leave a scar on me."

Strencus's ability to instantly restore the battlefield truly surprised Yixian, but it wasn't too difficult for her to accept.

Because at that moment, the wound on her face was also steaming.

Her wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The same words apply to you, Miss Strencus."

Chapter 246: Potential Allies

“Stellencus, stop playing around, we’ve discovered the whereabouts of ‘Key Point G’.”

Although Strencus's face rarely showed any expression, she was actually in a state of high excitement inside.

Aside from Ember, this was the first time she had encountered so many interesting opponents.

It was also a rare battle in which she could unleash her full power.

However, Hermite's voice interrupted her enjoyment of the battle.

Even within arbitration bodies, there are hierarchical distinctions.

Hermite happens to be of a higher rank than her.

"pity..."

Strencus's tense body suddenly relaxed, and facing the onlookers from the Robb family's ships, she turned around without hesitation, exposing her back to them.

"You guys... are great, but... not enough fun."

"If you want to...defeat me...come to the central sea area..."

After saying this, Strencus walked straight into the Sirens' fleet and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

With her departure, the oppressive atmosphere that had been lingering on the sea dissipated, and the ships felt much more relaxed.

Rob, who had watched his girls gang up on the other side for almost the entire time, finally felt relieved.

Although the battle was not won, our own ships are still safe, so there is still a chance.

Strencus's departure took her fleet with her, giving Rob a chance to catch his breath.

After confirming several times that there were no other Sirens in the surrounding waters, Rob immediately gathered the group who hadn't had much rest yet.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, one that we will inevitably encounter again if this operation continues, the most important thing now is to see if we can come up with a countermeasure.

"Everyone, please speak your mind and let's discuss it together. I believe that there is absolutely no enemy without flaws."

The group sat together, all with their heads down, silent.

It was clear that their recent battle with Strynkus had left them somewhat dejected.

"Never mind, I'll go first."

Seeing that his daughter remained silent, Robert had no choice but to take the lead himself.

At this time, calming the emotions of the ships is also a very important task.

“I just watched your battle. We’ve all seen the abilities of that Sirenkus.”

"It's actually quite similar to the new type of siren we saw on our way here."

"Therefore, I suspect that Strencus is the successor to the Sirens."

"However, its performance has been improved in all aspects."

With Robo leading the way, the ships finally broke their silence and began to express their opinions.

After a relatively short period of discussion, the "strategy" was finally finalized.

While Strynkus's abilities are troublesome, based on previous encounters, she herself is also affected by them.

Therefore, she never uses her strong gravity manipulation abilities around herself.

Secondly, although the opponent's shield is incredibly thick, it is not invincible.

At least after taking a bullet to the face from Joan of Arc's double-barreled burst rifle, there was a noticeable tremor.

In other words, by combining the firepower of the warships with that of Joan of Arc, it was possible to almost directly penetrate her shields.

"By the way, Belfast, contact the Royal Navy. I remember, Ms. Warspite is here this time too, right?"

Thinking of heavy firepower, Rob suddenly remembered that he seemed to have placed a powerful weapon in the Royal Navy, although it could only be used at night.

"As you wish, Master."

...

While Rob was actively discussing countermeasures, the situation on White Eagle's side was not so optimistic.

Essex's fleet was thoroughly thrashed by the Sirens, losing almost all of its mass-produced ships and retreating in disgrace to its outpost.

More importantly, their retreat was only because the Sirens let them go.

This major defeat not only delayed the White Eagle fleet's rendezvous with the other side, but also slowed down the entire operation.

Fortunately, even Rob's side encountered considerable difficulties this time, not to mention the Royals who were forced to stand in the thick fog.

The eldest brother doesn't mention the second brother, and everyone tacitly avoids talking about their own failures.

However, after the conversation, Luo Bo's heart sank.

I originally thought that one Strencus was troublesome enough, but I never expected that there would be at least one, or even two, creatures of that strength.

"Gentlemen, I have a proposal."

"I suggest we all carefully consider whether this 'large-scale operation' should continue."

After the exchange, the royal representative, Hood, pondered for a moment before finally stepping forward.

Judging from the current situation, we have encountered enemies that are practically invincible in almost every aspect. So, is there any point in continuing?

Upon hearing this, Rob, Saratoga, and Essex all fell silent.

Rob lowered his head, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair.

A temporary retreat, to some extent, is indeed a viable option.

After all, he has the mechs in the system, and given some time, he can come up with even more powerful gadgets.

However, this time was a gift from the Sirens.

You only have what she gives you.

If everyone chooses to retreat here and go home.

So, how should we deal with the subsequent visits from Strencus and the others?

Thinking of this, Rob raised his head, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"I disagree."

As the least senior person present besides Essex, Rob's speaking at this time was quite inappropriate.

But Robb had no choice; once Essex and Saratoga agreed to Hood's suggestion, the situation would become irreversible.

It is very difficult to bring back someone who has completely lost their fighting spirit.

“Ms. Hood, please don’t object to me yet, let me finish.”

Hu De, looking slightly displeased through the window, was quickly stopped by Rob.

At this point, Rob didn't care about international etiquette anymore.

"First of all, was headquarters' preparation for this operation insufficient?"

"Of course not, I dare say, it would be very difficult for headquarters to organize another operation like this."

"Next, do you all think that if this Siren fleet chooses to attack any of our ports, anyone can stop it?"

“We are not like the Sirens. We have people who need protection, and we cannot retreat indefinitely.”

"And, I don't know if you've noticed, but..."

"All the arbitration bodies we encountered suddenly left during the battle."

What does this mean?

"This means that there is something that forces them to step aside, or even to work together, to deal with it."

As Rob spoke, he brought his face close to the communication window.

In the end, all the other people's windows showed Rob's large face.

"ember..."

After listening to Rob's story, an answer popped into Saratoga's mind.

Chapter 247: Rob Borrows People

Recalling the Ember Dragons they had encountered before, Saratoga immediately understood what Rob was referring to.

Ember, though it's unclear what their stance is.

However, one thing is certain: the Ember Dragon and the Sirens are definitely enemies.

“That’s right, Dean Saratoga, you’re still as brilliant as ever.”

Rob gently lifted Jiajia's hand and sat back down in his chair.
