Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Although she was tightly bound by various restraints, the undulations on that unidentified object indicated that she was struggling.

As she struggled, bursts of pure black light spread outwards.

Then, this black energy was blocked by the research institute's tight protective facilities.

So, this energy surged towards the opening above.

However, the rate at which energy is discharged through the opening in the roof is clearly not keeping up with the rate at which energy is accumulating.

Energy was accumulating more and more in this heavily protected room.

Finally, the energy, compressed to its limit, could no longer be sustained.

They rushed towards the gap in the roof like a flood.

The already cracked roof was completely rendered useless in the face of this sudden burst of energy.

The breach was torn open in an instant, and the accumulated energy formed a huge black pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

...

Bumblebee, who had just evacuated to a distant place with the company, stared dumbfounded at the black beam of light that pierced the sky and earth, his mouth agape involuntarily.

"What...is this?!"

Shocked by what he saw, Bumblebee quickened his retreat while shouting loudly.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing!"

As the company evacuated, it looked back over its shoulder.

In the direction of the research institute, the black beam of light still exists.

"Hello, this is the task force. Ms. Enterprise, how's the situation on your end?"

Such a commotion was felt even by the fleets waiting further away.

They immediately sent messages inquiring about the situation of the company and others.

Although the White Eagle has a strong financial foundation, the hero ship cannot be allowed to run into trouble at this critical juncture.

"The mission failed on our way back, but we evacuated in time and were not affected."

"That's good...that's good..."

It felt like a weight had been lifted from my heart; the person on the other end had even forgotten proper communication phrases.

"Miss Enterprise, please return to the fleet immediately."

"We must evacuate immediately."

Even given the severity of the pollution outbreak, the fleet dared not stay too long.

"You can retreat first, we can go back on our own."

"Understood! Well then, see you at the port, Miss Enterprise!"

Seeing that the company said so, the other party did not refuse.

If he hadn't been on orders, he would have ordered the fleet to retreat the moment he saw the pillar of light.

...

After ending the call with the fleet, the Enterprise flew forward quickly with a gloomy expression.

Having just emerged from the contaminated area, the noise still echoed in her mind.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

However, seeing Bumblebee and Lexington's nonchalant demeanor, she wasn't sure if these things were caused by the pollution.

"Sister Enterprise, are you feeling unwell?"

The company's unusual behavior naturally caught the attention of the other two.

"It's nothing~"

The company shook its head, indicating that it was fine.

"Hey, Sister Enterprise, what do you think the higher-ups will do in this situation?"

"I don't know. If it were the previous headquarters, they'd probably ask us to go in again sometime."

Recalling the previous style of the headquarters, even the company couldn't help but shake its head.

"But things are different now, right, Enterprise?"

"Yes, that's right, things are different now."

"If I'm not mistaken, Sarah should be preparing to go find that person."

As they spoke, the company turned its gaze to the other side of the ocean.

Chapter 500: The Gift of Dunkirk

At this moment, Luo, who was far away in Donghuang, was unaware that he was being targeted by someone again.

Right now, he is saying goodbye to the old man.

Although Major General Jenkins came with the White Eagle delegation, he ultimately returned to Pearl Harbor, not the same destination.

So now, only the old man and Garcia remain in the Port Robo district.

Over this period of time, the once upright old general has become visibly haggard.

"Hey... kid, I might have to come back again in a while."

The old man patted Rob on the shoulder and sighed.

“Your sister Arizona… I was planning to deal with her this time, but look at her now…”

As he spoke, the old man turned to look to the side.

Over there, Arizona was squatting on the ground, stroking little Belfast's head, smiling broadly.

Clearly, the ship's attention was now completely drawn to the little angel from Roboport.

As for Belfast, the one being "flirted with," she could only look helplessly at the older sister in front of her.

Her overly gentle nature made it difficult for her to refuse requests that she didn't consider unreasonable.

At least in this respect, she doesn't seem to resemble her "mom" much.

In the old man's original plan, he also had another purpose for coming to Donghuang this time, which was to get a set of "new ship equipment" for his own Oath Ship.

Look, people have come all the way to Donghuang, they can't go back empty-handed, can they?

However, the appearance of Belfast disrupted his plans.

Currently, Arizona has absolutely no interest in the machine.

What interests her more is how to create a mini-Arizona.

These past two days, a certain green-haired, unscrupulous businessman cat has almost developed PTSD from Arizona.

Now, this green-haired, cunning cat is too afraid to go back to its own shop to sleep.

Every night, he would find a cardboard box and huddle in Rob's office.

"Grandpa, I think next time you come, you should bring Sister Beng with you."

"Otherwise, if Arizona has it but Beng doesn't, how can you live your life?"

After watching Robb, who was playing against Belfast in Arizona, for half a day with the old man, he also sighed.

During this period, all the Oathship Ships have been quite focused on building small boats.

Luo felt that he was also starting to feel overwhelmed.

Rob's words startled the old man slightly.

Then he looked at Rob with a "you're so experienced" expression and didn't say anything for a long time.

Finally, he simply patted Rob on the shoulder again and turned to board the plane.

...

Amidst Arizona's reluctant gaze, Rob finally saw the old man off onto the plane.

Once Garcia has had his fill of playing around with the Eastern Empire, the arms purchases from the White Eagle can be officially declared over.

And now, Luo can finally take a good rest and prepare for the upcoming Sardinian Empire Expo... right?

That evening, the flagship lady of the Vichy Vatican returned to the port area right at dinner time.

Since she was equipped with the F-91 Gundam, unless Rob gives her a very clear order to stay in the port area.

Normally, you can only see this energetic pirate lady during mealtimes.

"How are Jeanbart and Dunkirk doing?"

As Jean Bart strode into the hall, Robb called out to her.

"It's alright, the repair progress is rather slow, but it's better than nothing."

Jean Bart always had a very complicated feeling towards Robbe.

First, thanks to Robb's impulsive act, the Vichy Papacy's ships were spared total annihilation.

This made her feel a sense of gratitude towards Rob.

Then, back when they first met, she and Rob reached a certain consensus on issues concerning the royal family.

This made her admire Rob even more.

Then, Robb's current relationship with Richelieu is... well, it's a mess.

However, it is certain that Richelieu has feelings for Luo, and Luo is not opposed to it.

This added another mark to Robb's record: a rare and exotic item personally identified by Richelieu.

In Jeanbart's view, this was a treasure worth selling.

In the past, Jean Bart would have insisted on taking Robb, at least as his first mate or something similar.

After all, as pirates, it's only natural to steal what they see that they like.

However, there is now a problem.

Even ten Jean Barts tied together couldn't defeat one Richelieu.

This drove Jeanbart crazy.

"Oh, right, this is for you!"

As Jean Bart walked toward Rob, he took out a small bag.

Rob took it, opened it, and found a rather exquisite little box.

Inside was a small, exquisitely-looking pastry.

Although there was no cream or anything on top.

However, it's still clear that the person who made it put in a lot of effort.

"what is this?"

"Pastries made in Dunkirk, supposedly as a thank-you gift."

"So this is all she can do?"

Luo Bo was stunned after hearing this.

If he remembered correctly, this ship was one of the more seriously damaged.

"Ah~ the dock is keeping a close eye on her repairs."

"Now, she can move around normally."

"Of course, we can forget about going to sea for combat for at least the next two months."

Seeing that the maids had already started bringing dinner to the table, Jean Bart casually pulled up a chair and sat down at the table to prepare for the meal.

Then she took out a bottle of rum and drank directly from the bottle.

"Hey, dinner's almost ready, drink less."

Seeing the pirate girl's state, Rob couldn't help but speak up and remind her.
