Azur Lane Mobile Front.

One after another, sirens that had been hiding emerged from the water.

Their numbers are even far greater than those discovered by U-1206.

The entire sea area was instantly surrounded by sirens, and even Hu Teng and the others were surrounded by sirens.

"Tsk~"

"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't mention there were so many Sirens around here!"

Faced with such a large number of enemies, even the most formidable warships felt overwhelmed.

"There might be a hidden commander nearby."

However, Hu Teng, who was in command, remained relatively calm at this moment.

She turned her gaze toward Shimakaze; the key to breaking the deadlock lay there.

"Hmm... in this situation, we should use this method..."

Due to insufficient proficiency, Shimakaze did not immediately find a suitable move for the current situation.

Fortunately, she had Sephiroth.

Shimakaze held her weapon, which resembled a knight's sword, with both hands, the tip pointing upwards.

Instantly, a fierce wind, accompanied by lightning, began to rage across the sea.

Visibly, a bluish-white light began to shine on the blade of the Hades Sword, and power was accumulating.

As the power accumulated, the figure of Shimakaze seemed to become somewhat blurred.

"Hmm...that's it! Fuma Flash!"

Shimakaze swept the Hades Sword, which was already glowing white, and an unprecedented gale spread outwards from her.

The violent storm transformed into a sharp blade, effortlessly slicing through the sea surface of the sirens.

Strands of bluish-white lightning, each as thick as a person, descended from the sky, striking either the sea or the sirens, immediately triggering an explosion.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

The speed and extent of the wind blades generated by the island winds far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Judging from her plans, she only wanted to wipe out all the enemies in one fell swoop.

However, the Ironblood fleet is still besieged by the Sirens. If this continues, the Sirens will be wiped out, but their own people will probably not survive either.

Looking at the wind blade so close to him, Yi Bei's face showed a look of horror.

However, the wind blades that had just been like the Grim Reaper's scythe reaping the sirens felt like a gentle breeze in spring when they reached her face, posing no threat whatsoever and instead bringing a sense of comfort.

"Huh?"

If it weren't for the explosion caused by the attack on the siren behind him, which told Yi Bei that the wind blade hadn't failed, Yi Bei would have thought that Shimakaze was playing a prank.

With a single strike, the massive number of sirens that had just emerged from the water were sent back to the seabed by the island wind.

Moreover, although her attack was area-of-effect, it avoided all friendly forces perfectly, and even the mass-produced fleets on the outer perimeter suffered no losses.

"Hehe~ I did a good job, didn't I!"

After looking around and confirming that there were no Sirens still able to jump around, Shimakaze looked towards Huteng's direction.

"Thank you very much."

Hu Teng pursed his lips and solemnly expressed his gratitude to Shimakaze.

Although it's a rabbit, this rabbit can bite.

However, at the same time, looking at the mess on the sea, Hutten also became somewhat interested in Rob.

She just wanted to know what considerations led Rob to entrust such a level of power to a ship that seemed to be not very bright.

(Robo: Thanks for the invitation. I had no choice. If you have any questions, please consult Miss Sephis, a high-ranking wind-type spirit.)

"Take stock of the losses and prepare to move on."

Hu Teng glanced at his watch; there were still sixteen hours left until the operation ended.

Chapter 327: Familiar Strangers

Because of Shimakaze's built-in map-wide attack with friend-or-foe identification, the damage to the Ironblood Fleet, except for some mass-produced ships that were attacked at the very beginning, was negligible.

Therefore, the work of taking stock of the losses did not take much time. After abandoning a certain unfortunate mass-produced ship whose rudder was damaged in the first round of attacks, the group set off on their journey again.

"Everyone be on high alert. There must be a commanding Sirens nearby."

Hutten’s distinctively cold voice echoed through the fleet, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.

Judging from his appearance, Hu Teng does indeed look somewhat frightening.

"Hmm..."

Having had his fill of playing with his hands, Shimakaze was now sitting in the very center of the group, looking around listlessly, occasionally making some incomprehensible noises.

Hu Teng, who was standing next to her, glanced at her but did not comment.

Hu Teng could tell from the last time that this was a powerful figure; clinging to his coattails would guarantee success.

Of course, even without Shimakaze's map-wide attack, the other Ironblood ships would be extremely grateful to Shimakaze.

We can breathe fresh air, all thanks to this person.

"and many more!"

A cold, low shout brought the advancing fleet to a halt.

In the sky, a small but dazzling point of light rose from the sea and lingered in the air for a moment before gradually disappearing.

"That's... a signal flare?"

Looking up at the direction where the light disappeared, Hu Teng frowned.

Having just arrived in this world, less than an hour later, I have already encountered an attack by sirens and received unidentified signals.

I have a feeling that Frederick the Great's job wasn't going to be easy.

"嘁~"

Perhaps it was the thought of Frederick the Great's maternal face that made him feel a little annoyed, Hutten spat under his breath.

"Yi Bei, go check on the situation."

"learn!"

Even if you add two more engines to the Elbe's plane, it will still be no match for the Shimakaze in terms of speed.

However, everyone in the group knows that one of the rabbits is a hopeless case of getting lost; once he goes out, he's all alone.

Therefore, the task of investigation ultimately fell to Yi Bei.

...

"Lord Ulrich, there are still Sirens nearby, but... someone... is fighting them?"

A moment later, Yi Bei sent a message.

Why hesitate?

However, there seemed to be something unusual in her words.

"Because I can't judge, Your Excellency Ulrich. You see for yourself!"

As he spoke, Yi Bei transmitted back the footage taken by the carrier-based aircraft. The scene in the footage made the Ironblood Fleet, which had just undergone a moral upheaval, feel the "welcome of another world" once again.

"This is... this level of attack, high speed, great power, and it's completely unseen from where it came from."

Magdeburg, who came to watch, was shocked by the impact of the images.

Even after witnessing Shimakaze's exaggerated fighting prowess, she was still awestruck.

After all, thanks to the tireless efforts of the girls from the Robo family, all the ships in the world have come to understand that those with new ship equipment are like gods, and those belonging to the Eastern Empire are especially like gods.

Humans naturally wouldn't compare themselves to gods, and neither would ships.

However, the difference in the image, judging from its size, clearly indicates that it is some kind of unknown ship equipment, and it is a different form from the Robo family's "new ship equipment".

"Right? I just did the calculations~ This weapon's speed exceeds 500 knots!"

Yi Bei's voice rang out at the opportune moment, providing supplementary explanations for everyone.

"500 knots? Is that still a shell?"

Prince Adalbert, who also received the message, covered his mouth in surprise.

"That wasn't a cannonball... Strictly speaking, it was a Zengcheng rocket."

Hu Teng was far more knowledgeable than the other Ironblood warships.

She could tell at a glance that it wasn't a cannonball at all.

"That's right~ Montpellier and the others have something like that too~ I remember Shimakaze called it a missile."

Because she was so bored, Shimakaze took out some snacks that Rob had given her and started munching on them with both hands.

It really looked exactly like a rabbit.

"Report: A small fleet has been spotted approaching us. There are two of them, but their type and affiliation are unknown, and they are not escorted by mass-produced aircraft."

Just as everyone was enthusiastically discussing the missile, U-1206 sent a new message.

It seems the owner of the missile has been found.

"Huh? Are we going to fight later...?"

At this critical juncture, the approach of unknown ships felt rather strange.

"Stay vigilant. As for who the other party is, we'll find out soon enough."

Because of the presence of the shimakaze, Hu Teng doesn't need to worry too much when making judgments.

Anyway, even if a fight breaks out, with my daddy around, it won't be a big problem.

"Huh?!"

Before long, the two fleets met, and before either side could introduce themselves, Shimakaze stared in surprise.

"Anshan, Changchun? What are you doing here?"

"???"

The two rabbits, "Anshan" and "Changchun," looked at each other and confirmed that neither of them recognized the rabbit that clearly knew "themselves."

"Anshan, a guided-missile destroyer belonging to the Donghuang fleet, hull number 101. And this lady next to me is my sister, also belonging to the Donghuang fleet, Changchun, a guided-missile destroyer, hull number 103. Miss, who are you...?"

Although he didn't recognize the rabbit that had suddenly appeared, Anshan, being a member of the Donghuang warship, politely introduced himself first.

"Huh? A missile destroyer? What's that? Shouldn't you be..."

Hearing the other person's seemingly genuine tone, Shimakaze hesitated.

Although she didn't spend much time in the port area, as a destroyer, she easily got along with Anshan and the others.

In her memory, Anshan was not a ship that liked to play pranks.

If it were Fushun standing here, then Shimakaze would probably have to think twice.

"Ironblood, flagship of the Special Operations Fleet, special envoy of Frederick the Great, battleship—Ulrich von Hutten."

At this moment, Hu Teng stepped forward and introduced himself to the two "ships of Donghuang".

"As for the person next to me, that is Shimakaze."

Hu Teng did not reveal the fact that Shimakaze belonged to Donghuang. After all, it was better not to point out the identity of his "otherworldly person".

"The iron-blooded fleet... I understand."

Anshan pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"For reasons we both know, we can't offer you any more advice, but one thing is certain: abandon these mass-produced models."

“In this increasingly dangerous sea, these things are a burden.”

Chapter 328: Gneisenau, the Dark Version

Although Shimakaze really wanted to go up and ask the two people from Anshan and Changchun if they could also team up, Hu Teng quietly pulled her back.

Thank you.
