Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Meanwhile, the Soviet Union sat at its desk.

"Commander, you must have something very important to discuss coming at this hour, right?"

Looking around, Rob noticed that the other ships were all looking at him with strange expressions.

"indeed!"

Rob nodded, trying to shake off the image that had just flashed through his mind.

Then, he recounted in an orderly manner what had recently happened to Shinano and his speculations.

...

"Phew~ Commander, this matter... is of utmost importance!"

After listening to Rob's account, the Soviet Union sighed.

The relationship between the Northern Union and the Sardinian Empire was actually quite good.

Otherwise, there would be no Tashkent.

"I think this matter deserves to be investigated."

Regardless of the Soviet alliance, as an intelligence agent, everything was worth investigating in Kronstadt's eyes.

"Based on what the commander said, I think this phenomenon is somewhat similar to the Mirror Sea."

"If we investigate in this direction, we might find something."

Halfway through her sentence, Kronstadt paused, her blue, star-shaped eyes glancing at Rob.

"Also, Veneto, there is definitely a problem."

“We’ve been here for so many days, and according to diplomatic protocol, as the flagship of the Sardinian Empire, she has never met with any faction.”

"So, we also need to check her side, right?"

The Soviet Union picked up where Kronstadt left off, and it seemed she had accepted Rob's request.

"That's right!"

"Then, Comrade Kronstadt, you take care of this matter!"

"Heh~ Don't worry, this is just my job!"

Seeing that the deal was done, Rob prepared to leave.

After all, what just happened was quite awkward for everyone, so it's better to separate for now.

"Hmm? Commander, are you already preparing to go back?"

"If you'd like, staying overnight here is no problem."

I don't know if it was a joke or if they were serious.

Anyway, the Soviet Union's words successfully made Rob escape as if his life depended on it.

...

"Hey, why didn't you stop him just now? This was an opportunity, wasn't it?"

Just as Robo left, Kronstadt looked at his flagship with a complicated expression.

"It's not time yet, comrade."

The Soviet Union sat at the table, covering what appeared to be a newly drafted document with other papers.

Rob's name appears multiple times in this document that was covered up by the Soviet Union.

It seems that the Northern Union is plotting something related to Luo.

"I felt that the time was just now."

"Comrade Mercury even closed the door properly just now. If we don't get too caught up in the details, we might just win!"

"Comrade, it's not time yet~"

"Never mind, I'm going to go prepare for the investigation now!"

With a wave of his hand, Kronstadt also turned and left.

...

"Master, you've arrived!"

As Rob stepped out of the hotel, he saw Dido waiting at the door.

Why did you come here?

"The head maid was worried about her master and sent me to check on him."

"She really is a worrywart. Let's go, the business is done, let's go back!"

Rob smiled and shook his head. Perhaps Belfast also considered these Northern Union ships a dangerous presence. (Maybe she really was?)

"Ok!"

The two maids exchanged a glance, then followed closely behind Rob, walking outside into the night.

"It's not far anyway, let's walk back."

Looking up at the night sky, Rob realized that the weather was pretty good today.

"Everything is according to your will, master."

Sure enough, neither of the two maids uttered a single "no".

As Rob walked, a little tune suddenly reached his ears.

Although I don't know what song it is, it sounds quite interesting.

He looked in the direction of the sound and found that Dido was humming a song softly.

"Dido, come here."

"Owner?"

"What were you humming just now? Sing it out for us!"

"This...Master..."

Since being "talked to" by Rob, Dido has become much more cheerful than before.

At least, Belfast never mentioned that Dido also had a habit of humming tunes.

Is there a problem?

"no!"

As Dido took a deep breath, a melodious and beautiful song flowed from her lips, spreading throughout the night.

(As expected of royal maids, each one possesses unique skills!)

Dido's song was even more melodious than Rob had imagined.

Surrounded by the singing, even my steps felt lighter.

Chapter 579: A Kronstadt-style Investigation

Sardinian Cathedral, Marco Polo's office.

The dragoon pushed open the door and walked straight in.

"Oh, judging from your expression, something happened?"

Marco Polo looked up and smiled at the other person.

As an ambitious man (in his own words), Marco Polo was at least quite good at hiding himself.

If we disregard her tendency to either cause trouble or be on her way to causing trouble, judging from her appearance alone, she is actually a very approachable ship.

"The Northern Union seems to have some doubts; they sent someone to inquire about Lord Veneto's situation."

"what?"

Marco Polo's eyes widened at the words of the dragoon.

At this final juncture, she wasn't unaware that others might have noticed what was happening here.

After all, the closer you get to the final moment, the more horns of the horse will be revealed.

However, in her plan, the one who should have noticed the anomaly was the unassuming Frederick the Great of the Iron Blood.

Or perhaps, he is the Eastern Emperor Commander who single-handedly changed the entire world order.

However, to everyone's surprise, it was the Northern Alliance that noticed the anomaly.

"Did they really come here to ask in person?"

"Yes, that's right. Lord Littorio received the people from the Northern Union."

In response to Marco Polo's question, the Dragoon nodded emphatically.

“I remember, the one who came was called Kronstadt, yes, that’s the name. It’s a bit of a mouthful, but I can’t be wrong.”

"That's a bit strange..."

Marco Polo squinted his eyes slightly.

If someone notices something amiss, then, logically speaking, a secret investigation would be the right thing to do.

However... the Northern Union directly asked them face-to-face...

"Am I overthinking it?"

"Sir, should we take action?"

"No, no need, ignore them, haha, they didn't notice anything unusual at all."

"It's just that our flagship hasn't appeared for too long and has lacked diplomatic etiquette, so she's come to question us! Ignore them!"

"I understand!"

Now that the higher-ups have given the order, the dragon riders no longer need to pay attention to the movements of the Northern Alliance.

Even to himself, the ship named Kronstadt seemed to be acting too ostentatiously, not at all like it was conducting an investigation.

After the dragoons left, Marco Polo couldn't help but smile again.

"Haha~ Really, you made me worry for nothing for so long."

"In the end, neither Frederick the Great nor that commander were anything but people with undeserved reputations!"

"But that's fine! Soon, you'll all be groveling at my feet."

"And then, perhaps, I will bestow upon you that precious mercy."

"Hahaha~"

Marco Polo's laughter echoed in the spacious, empty office.

However, this time, she didn't notice that the phantom that had been appearing and disappearing above her head seemed to have disappeared.

However, to Marco Polo's surprise, Kronstadt was genuinely investigating.

However, her investigative methods have always been so unique.

If you need to investigate something, just ask directly.

For facilities that require infiltration, just walk in openly and honestly.

If Robb saw this scene, I wonder if he would dress up this rather voluptuous ship in a pure white cloak or something.

"Hmph~ Commander is right, the Sardinian Empire does indeed have quite a few problems."

After two days of investigation, Kronstadt actually found something out.

"It's not just their flagship that's acting strangely; the Senate has also been doing the same thing for quite some time now."

"It seems someone has already taken control of the Sardinian Empire from behind the scenes."

"Furthermore, isn't this anomaly a bit too dismissive of people?"

Standing in front of the large bathhouse behind the Sardinian cultural center, Kronstadt shook his head with a wry smile.

That's why Rob didn't choose to soak in this large bathhouse back then; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the chance to investigate.

Even with the naked eye, it is very obvious that the water surface ripples here are unusual.
