Azur Lane Mobile Front.

However, given that there is no custom of opening warships for tourists to visit here, Rob doesn't need to worry too much about these things.

Taking a couple of photos at the harbor is nothing special.

With just a few days left until the opening of the Sardinian Empire World Expo, the pavilions of each faction have entered the final setup stage.

This time, Donghuang decorated the venue in a way that was very characteristic of Donghuang.

Moreover, for certain well-known reasons, the venues for the Eastern Empire and the Imperial Sakura Empire are actually connected.

Then, because of their similar styles, at least that's how it appears in the Sardinian Empire.

The two cultural centers look like they've been merged into one.

On the opposite side of the main road, there are the venues of the Vichy Church and the Free Iris.

The venues for these two camps were almost connected.

Many observant people can tell from this that the Iris Theocracy may be about to be restored.

So, privately, quite a few people are discussing this matter.

...

After a day of rest, Rob was now walking through the Donghuang stadium.

The antique-style cultural center allows visitors to fully experience the culture of Donghuang as soon as they enter.

A faint aroma of tea can be smelled in the air from time to time.

Walking to the other side, at the intersection of the East Hall and the Sakura Empire Hall, several scaled-down Strike Gundam models, already posed, are quietly displayed in glass cases.

Behind them, the large screen used to play promotional videos was also undergoing final adjustments.

"Ms. Mikasa, you look to be in good spirits!"

After a few days apart, this senior member of the Sakura Empire was still as radiant as ever.

"Oh, Commander, you've arrived."

Mikasa put down her work and greeted Robo.

Then, she began to introduce some matters concerning the preparations for participating in the exhibition.

"Um...Where is Lord Shinano?"

Because of the special nature of this expo, the flagships or leading figures of each camp have already arrived.

However, after looking around, Mikasa did not find her own big white fox.

"What do you think?"

Rob stared at Mikasa with a complicated expression.

"Ah...hahaha...I was being inconsiderate. Lady Shinano must be tired from your journey; she should get some rest."

Mikasa chuckled and thought that since there were quite a few staff members in the restaurant, she should at least give her flagship a break.

"Alright, I'll go wander around somewhere else. You stay here and keep watch."

"Yes, yes, my Commander!"

Seeing that Rob was about to leave, Mikasa didn't try to stop him, but simply nodded.

"Belfa, you stay here. Just contact me if you need anything."

“Belfast understands. Sirius, Dido, you two, remember to protect our master’s safety.”

After a casual farewell, Rob, accompanied by two maids, headed towards the other venues.

After all, even he would be very curious at this moment.

However, just as he stepped out of the venue, Robo bumped into a ship.

The ship had long, silver-gray hair with bangs.

A pair of grey eyes, gleaming brightly beneath long lashes.

Wearing a bright red uniform over a black short dress, the ship's figure appeared even more graceful.

Her dark-colored knee-high boots made a series of crisp footsteps as she walked.

"Oh, I didn't expect this place to be open to tourists already?"

"The speed of Donghuang, which hasn't been out and about for a long time, is truly enviable!"

Rob was about to go up and say hello when he realized that the other person wasn't paying any attention to him at all.

Although Robo had never seen this ship before, as the flagship of his faction, her picture was directly pasted into textbooks.

Vittorio Veneto, the current flagship of the Sardinian Empire, is one of the larger versions of Paul in a certain Minsk dimension.

He figured the person on the other end probably hadn't seen him, since he was only wearing casual clothes today.

However, upon closer examination, Rob realized that this didn't quite make sense.

Dido and Sirius were dressed in their iconic Royal Maid Service maid outfits, so if the observers on the opposite ship weren't slacking off, they would definitely have seen them.

"Oh, sir, are you here for a visit too?"

"These two women next to me, are they royal maids?"

Vittorio Veneto's greeting stunned not only Rob, but also Dido and Sirius.

The other person... doesn't even recognize Rob?

If the other side were just an insignificant ship, that would be somewhat plausible.

However, Vittorio Veneto was the flagship of the Sardinian Empire.

Now, Luo's headshots are plastered on the walls of various factions.

At the very least, we should keep our own ships away from this guy to prevent him from using his talent for poaching people.

However, Vittorio Veneto acted as if she didn't recognize Rob at all.

She even mistook Rob for a royal commander who had come to the exhibition with two maids.

That's...very interesting.

"Ah, that's right. I came to take a look since I had some free time."

After giving her a casual reply, Rob stepped aside to let her enter the venue.

At the same time, Rob gave the two maids a look, signaling them to keep quiet.

Veneto's subsequent behavior truly showed that he treated Robb like a complete stranger.

She simply nodded casually and walked past Rob into the stadium.

"Dido, go and take a look."

Watching the other person's departing figure, Rob whispered an instruction to Dido.

Robb was very interested in Vittorio Veneto's situation.

As the flagship of one faction, she did not know the leaders of other factions, nor did she know the Dido-class ships of the Royal Navy.

The meaning behind this is quite intriguing.

On the other side, Vittorio Veneto looked around and walked into the East Palace, which was almost fully decorated.

She was quickly drawn to the various scenes set up there.

"As expected of a faction possessing a civilization that even Romulus himself admired back then!"

After walking a few more steps, Veneto saw the head maid talking to Mikasa.

She quickly quickened her pace and walked over.

"Ms. Belfast, or Ms. Mikasa, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Veneto didn't recognize Rob, but she did recognize Belfast and Mikasa. Dido, who was secretly following behind, witnessed this scene.

The head maid glanced around and spotted Dido. Then, listening to Veneto's increasingly strange remarks, her eyebrows unconsciously rose a few notches higher.

(This one looks like he has a serious problem.)

Chapter 558: The Silly White Who Came to the Door

Veneto didn't stay in the East Hall for long. After a brief chat with Mikasa and Belfast, she left the hall.

At this point, Rob also lost interest in visiting other factions.

He returned to the East Palace and stood before Belfast and Mikasa.

"This one... is quite interesting."

"What exactly is the Sardinian Empire up to?"

Mikasa and Belfast, who already knew Rob would be coming, both frowned at this moment.

During the brief conversation just now, Veneto's performance truly opened the eyes of the two of them.

She didn't know that Belfast had already gone to the Eastern Empire, nor did she know that Sakura Empire was now considered an affiliated faction of the Eastern Empire.

Judging from all these signs, this flagship of the Sardinian Empire seems to be living as if it were just a few years ago.

In her mind, the Sardinian Empire and the royal family were even allies.

"It's as if she's living in a cocoon that someone else has woven for her."

Robben summed up Veneto in one sentence.

"Cocoon... um, a very vivid metaphor."

“Now that you mention it, I’m reminded of something. In recent years, it seems that when the Sardinian Empire makes its voice heard, it’s always been Littorio and Rome who speak on its behalf.”

"So, the entire Sardinian Empire is now united against its own flagship?"

Mikasa's brows furrowed even more.

Even Nagato back then never "enjoyed" such treatment.

"Although there is no evidence, I think that's probably what happened."

"They completely sidelined their flagship and then shut down all of her communication channels."

"This makes Veneto seem as if he were still living in the same place he was a few years ago."

"Then, Commander, why is she able to be here?"

"According to you, she should be under house arrest and not allowed to go out freely."

"Letting her move around freely like this, trying to completely shut her out of sight and hearing, is impossible, isn't it?"

Rob shrugged and glanced at Mikasa.

"I don't know. Maybe the Sardinian Empire feels that this kind of isolation is no longer necessary."

"Perhaps they have a better way, so that even if Veneto is allowed to roam around, it won't cause any problems, and it can even reduce Veneto's rebellious sentiments."

“However, Master, there is something Belfast doesn’t understand.”

"They've already gone this far, so changing to a new flagship shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

As he spoke, Belfast also looked at Mikasa.

Switching to a flagship phone is uncommon, but it's not without precedent.

At least, in the Sakura Empire region, the flagship has already been replaced three times.

"Well, that remains to be seen."

Rob shook his head. There was too little information to draw an answer at this time.

"However, since there is still some time, and that person has already appeared here today."

"Perhaps we could try to make contact with that person?"

Seeing their commander in this state, Belfast and Mikasa wore complicated expressions.

"Master, don't get any funny ideas~"

"Ahem~ Don't talk nonsense, I didn't think that way. I was just curious."

...

At that moment, Veneto, who had just stepped out of the Eastern Palace, stood by the roadside and saw Queen Elizabeth striding toward the Eastern Palace, surrounded by several maids and Warspite.
