Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Because in any case, whether it was the 510mm main gun or anything else, it was all reduced to ashes by the Sirens' far more powerful firepower.

"Okay, let's put this issue aside for now."

"There's another question: what exactly were those things that were salvaged from Donghuang back then?"

In Tiancheng's description, Donghuang seems to have received special "treatment" from the Sirens.

After the attack, the Sirens surprisingly entered the land area.

It's important to know that even in Rob's world, when the Sirens were driven to desperation by Rob, they never ventured deep into the land.

The only explanation is that they are looking for something.

That thing was very likely the one that Donghuang had fished out of the sea back then.

"do not know."

Tiancheng shook his head.

"Donghuang has done a very good job in terms of secrecy."

"We don't even know if the Sirens have found that thing."

"Alright, I've asked all the questions I needed to ask."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Ms. Amagi."

"Dido, take the ladies down to rest."

Rob waved, signaling Dido that she could take the person away.

"What could it be? Hiss~"

Recalling what Amagi had just mentioned about "that thing," Rob felt, deep down, that he really needed to find it.

In fact, this is the main reason why I came to this world.

New Jersey...

As he spoke, Rob turned on the ship's internal communication device in front of him.

"Honey?"

Immediately, the distinctive, sweet voice of New Jersey rang out.

"Do me a favor."

"Hmph~ Leave it to me."

"But what is honey going to do?"

Even through the communicator, Rob could almost see New Jersey with his hands on his hips.

"Go and ask Antix and the others what they're looking for."

Just because Amagi doesn't know what that thing is, where it is, or whether it has been found, doesn't mean that others don't know.

For example, Strencus is currently having a "friendly interaction" with Yukikaze.

Chapter 696: Strencus's Unexpectedly Responsive Actions

On the sea, Strencus, whom Rob had his eye on, was currently being subjected to a dazzling attack from Yukikaze.

T-LINK blades, imbued with telekinetic energy, are attacking Strynkus from all directions.

Because of the special nature of the machine that Yukikaze is currently using, Strencus's expertise in gravity manipulation is not very effective.

All she can do now is raise a shield or assist her mobility.

"Don't run! You're not some super powerful Nanoda!"

"Let's fight Lord Yukikaze fair and square!"

The kitten fired several attacks at Strencus, but Strencus dodged them all, which made the kitten a little flustered.

"reject..."

"The mission is not yet...complete..."

Strencus responded to Yukikaze's challenge with a blank expression, then leaped backward to dodge several T-LINK blades that flew out from under the water.

"..."

After Strencus landed back on the sea, even she had a different expression on her face.

The cat in front of me seems to be getting more and more sinister.

It's important to understand that this kind of tactic of simultaneously engaging in verbal sparring and launching surprise attacks is something that most ships simply can't pull off.

As for who turned this once innocent kitten into this...

Well, isn't it normal for pets to resemble their owners?

"..."

Strencus, who had traveled some distance from Yukikaze, once again amassed a black sphere in his hand.

From the exchange just now, she fully understood that with the current performance of her vessel, it was impossible to defeat the opponent using conventional weapons.

Those weapons, let alone whether they can hit their targets.

Even if you hit it, the opponent's shield is just as effective as your own.

"Humph~"

Seeing that the opponent was beginning to gather his strength, Yukikaze did not stop Strencus.

Because I can do the same thing now.

No, I can do much better than her.

"I'll use this move to completely defeat you!"

As she spoke, Xuefeng was enveloped in a soft light, and she stretched out her right hand behind her, as if calling out to something.

However, her actions were interrupted at this moment.

"Oh~ Yukikaze wants to shake hands with me, doesn't she!"

A hand encased in mechanical armor grasped Yukikaze's hand.

"..."

Xuefeng's expression changed, and he immediately turned his head away.

Then, she saw something that made her blood pressure spike.

New Jersey, who had just completed a quantum leap, grinned foolishly as she bounced her hand from below.

Yes, it's similar to the way Richelieu usually teases his cat.

"Huh? What's wrong, Yukikaze?"

Seeing New Jersey's dumbfounded expression, even Strencus across from him stopped what he was doing.

It wasn't that she thought New Jersey was too naive.

Rather, with these two combined, she truly has no chance at all.

"Let go..."

Gritting his teeth, Xuefeng slowly uttered two words.

"Oh, so Yukikaze doesn't like this move~"

New Jersey scratched his head.

"But last time I saw you having a lot of fun with your honey, you seemed to be doing just that."

Instantly, Xuefeng's expression changed.

A blush crept onto her cheeks, forcing her to turn her head away.

"Never mind, I came here on a mission."

As soon as New Jersey let go, Yukikaze immediately pulled his hand back.

"Hey, that siren over there, we've seen it several times already!"

"..."

Strencus stared blankly at New Jersey for a moment before silently nodding.

"Hmph~ Honey, let me ask you a question."

"question?"

"That's right~ What exactly are you looking for in this world?"

The way New Jersey asked questions was very much her personal style – straightforward and direct.

"..."

The question about New Jersey caught Strencus off guard.

In her eyes, the data began to flow.

It appears that she is retrieving the relevant data from her mainframe.

"Data retrieval complete..."

"Permissions confirmed..."

"The target is allowed to report on the mission status..."

Strencus uttered several emotionless sounds in succession.

Only then would others realize that Antix and the ship were indeed different entities.

“I am searching for the remains of Arbitrator Hermite IX, and the items she was escorting.”

"Huh?"

To my utter surprise, the other party simply told me the answer so directly.

When they arrived in New Jersey, they were fully prepared to use dialogue to get answers from the other party.

This made her scratch her head again.

"What...what is that thing?"

"..."

"Insufficient permissions... Unable to retrieve the required data."

"Hey...then...you guys keep fighting?"

After thinking for a while, New Jersey really didn't know what to ask.

So she glanced at Xuefeng somewhat awkwardly, then with a "whoosh," she passed through the "door" she had opened and disappeared.

After New Jersey disappeared, Yukikaze immediately set his sights on Strencus.

"This time, you're not getting away!"

...

On the Gamma, New Jersey went directly to Rob.

Fortunately, this time, before she lunged forward, she finally remembered the synchronization state of the contact machine.

"Cough cough cough~ How many times have I told you, take inventory, you idiot!"

Rob gave New Jersey a light tap on the head as a warning, and then pulled him into his arms.

Because of sufficient buffering, the impact of this silly thing on Rob was not as great as expected.

...

After Rob's account of his experience in New Jersey, his expression turned serious.

"They specifically arranged for an integrated arbitration body to escort it, and even Strencus, who is also an arbitration body, didn't have the authority to know what it was?"

"This is interesting. It seems we have no choice but to make a trip!"

It's impossible for Antix not to be curious about something she values ​​so much.

Anyway, I was going to visit Donghuang anyway.
