Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Her figure flickered a few times under the beam of light, and then vanished without a trace.

"An illusion..."

"Hehe, in order to deal with you, it's natural to need to make some preparations, isn't it?"

Just as Soviet Russia was preparing to make another move, an urgent message reached her ears.

"Comrade Soviet Rossiya, we have just detected a large number of Sirens appearing in the southeast direction and approaching this area!"

Chapter 402: Nagato, who excels at getting a head start

The combined fleets of the Northern Union and the White Eagles deduced that if the Sirens were allowed to continue advancing, they would be surrounded from both sides by the Ironblood fleet and the Sirens' fleet.

Even if the Northern Union side has several upgraded ships, the losses in a single battle would be unacceptable to both sides.

Moreover, this is only the outskirts; there is still a considerable distance to the target location.

"Is Ironblood finally abandoning its pretense of fighting alongside the Sirens?"

Prince Eugene did not respond to the questions raised by Soviet Rossiya.

The sudden explosions from behind clearly conveyed Ironblood's current stance to the Northern Union and White Eagle.

"Comrade Soviet Rossiya, the rear fleet has been attacked by submarines, and the extent of the damage is being assessed!"

The news from the rear quickly reached Soviet Russia.

"I see..."

Soviet Rossiya looked at Prince Eugen, it was unclear whether she understood the situation at the rear or the Iron Blood's stance.

A cold beam of light streaked across the sky and shone on the sea.

The seawater instantly froze into ice, which then spread outwards.

A large ice floe formed on the sea surface during one of the attacks by Soviet Russia.

And Prince Eugen, who was originally supposed to be the target of the attack, was, of course, still an illusion.

Soviet Russia frowned and fired several more beams of light.

Without exception, all the targets she hit were illusions.

...

Further out on the sea, Prince Eugen observed the situation ahead with great interest.

Z2 looked at Prince Eugen with a worried expression. His superior's current actions were somewhat in conflict with the original orders.

"Well, our orders are to hold off this fleet and await further instructions."

"Won't doing it this way be less effective?"

Prince Eugen bit his fingertip and glanced at his adjutant.

"No problem~ See, we've kept them occupied, haven't we?"

"But didn't you say before that you wanted to have a good showdown with these new ship equipment?"

"Haha~ Did I really say that?"

...

Just as the Ironblood fleet was blocking all the fleets from Azur Lane from all sides, unusual changes were also taking place at the Gate of Avalon, located inside Scapa Bay.

"Everyone, prepare for Level One combat!"

"All ships must report their status immediately!"

Rob quickly entered a state of war.

One command after another came from his mouth.

The three warships opened their hatches, and the ships poured out, arranging themselves into formation in the air.

At this moment, both the sky and the sea in Scapa Flow began to show unusual ripples.

The feeling was like watching a picture through a screen, but the signal was not good, causing the picture to shake.

"Commander, a mirror-like sea reaction has been detected in the vicinity!"

The scattered ships began to report on the situation.

"The exact location!"

"There's no specific location, it's everywhere! The reaction is happening all around us in the mirror-like sea, and the location of the reaction is getting closer to us!"

Baltimore's voice seemed to carry a hint of tension.

"Children, they've come..."

Frederick the Great's voice came through the communicator.

As the influence of the mirror-like sea expands, the surrounding environment is also changing.

The original port has now disappeared.

Instead, there was a boundless sea.

"Heh heh~ It seems this is the battlefield the Sirens have chosen..."

"However, this battlefield isn't very friendly to us..."

Zhenhai's tone remained unchanged, but judging from her unconscious grip on the armrest of the chair, she didn't seem as composed as she appeared.

The reason is simple: at this moment, what appeared around Robo was an overwhelming army of Sirens.

The water, the air, everything in sight—it was all there.

"Miss Frederick, if I may ask, where are your troops?"

While dealing with these enemies is somewhat difficult, they are still within Robo's capabilities.

However, he always felt that this iron-blooded "mother ship" seemed to want to take advantage of him for free.

Rob said he could handle this?

"Hehe~ Child, don't be in a hurry, um... coming~"

With Frederick the Great's soft laughter, a cannon shot rang out from the edge of this sea area.

"Hey, these are all enemies, you can deal with them as you please, right?"

A bloodthirsty voice cut into the communication channel.

"So many enemies... Frederick, this seems to be going against the plan."

Then a calmer voice emerged.

"Frederick, we've arrived too..."

Faintly, Robo seemed to hear a dragon's roar.

He looked outside curiously.

Then...

A giant steel dragon made of machinery flashed past his field of vision.

"What the hell did I just see?"

Rob rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.

To be honest, even Rob himself couldn't pull out a dragon in a short time.

That thing that just flew by looked exactly like a dragon, didn't it?

"Hehe~ Child, are you satisfied with my fleet?"

Amidst the roar of cannons and the sound of exploding bombs, a fierce fleet, using unknown technology, broke through the blockade of the mirror-like sea and entered this area at the edge of the sea.

"It's alright."

When asked a question by Frederick the Great, Robb simply gave a brief reply.

Based on what we've just seen, these are undoubtedly the most elite troops of the Ironblood Army.

You could even say they were a hidden force.

Because Rob has no information about these ships.

"Alright, girls, let's get this going!"

"Let Ironblood show you what true strength is..."

Before Rob could finish speaking, a massive energy reaction occurred around the Agama.

The Nadeshiko, making its first appearance in battle, launched the first attack.

The gravitational wave cannon's power pierced the sky, clearing a path for the Siren flying force in the air.

The downed sirens crashed into the sea like raindrops.

"Nagato..."

The screen opened, and Nagato's somewhat reserved face appeared on the screen.

"Um, Commander...did I...make a mistake?"

"Hey..."

Rob sighed deeply.

"No, you did a great job, keep going."

"Yes! I...I understand!"

For some reason, a blush crept onto Nagato's face.

The little fox nodded, and without even turning off the communicator, it prepared to launch a second attack.

Chapter 403: The War Begins, and Then Xiaoyou

The Nadeshiko's gravity wave cannon was like a signal.

After that, all sorts of attacks rained down on the Sirens' positions from the sky.

On the sea, even ships that were not adept at flying began their own battles.

After two leaps, Ninghai and Pinghai crashed into the Sirens' position from the air like meteorites.

With the sound of metal being struck by heavy objects, the sirens transformed into cannonballs and flew in all directions.

"Ah... this method... is truly... unforgivable!"

A ship with short, light pink hair, wearing a dark uniform and mechanical gloves, watched everything happening not far away with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, a chilling expression appeared on her face.

At this moment, the ship, clad in jet-black armor, seemed to transform into a bloodthirsty sea monster.

She suddenly increased her speed and plunged headlong into the Sirens' territory.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of metal tearing echoed throughout the sea.

"Hey, Ron!"

Another ship with long silver hair, wearing a headband, a bright uniform, and a black-and-red cloak on its back, also felt a headache upon seeing this.

Given Ron's current condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop her.

"Hey, Friedrich, this is Mainz. Ron's had another attack. What do we do?"

"Hmm...let that kid vent..."

Frederick the Great's voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness, came through the communicator.

At the same time, the deafening sound of cannons could be heard.

"I see."

After hanging up the communication, Mainz looked at the battlefield ahead, which was a scene of carnage, gritted his teeth, and led his mass-produced fleet toward the battlefield.

"Everyone, attack freely! Don't worry about Ron, you can't get close to her!"

As they spoke, Mainz's main guns opened fire, and a hail of shells flew through the air in parabolic arcs, landing on the Sirens' heads.

The Robb family's businesses unleashed a volley of fire, wiping out a large number of Sirens.
