Azur Lane Mobile Front.

After the bright flash, a shockwave with extremely high speed and great power followed.

The siren, located near the center of the shockwave, was instantly reduced to ashes.

The sirens in the surrounding area weren't much better off.

Except for a few Agent-class ships that were further away and managed to escape at the last moment using their unique movement methods, all of them were shattered into many unrelated parts by this shockwave.

However, the impact of that shelling in Taiyuan goes far beyond that.

A giant fireball rose out of thin air from the sea.

The seawater evaporated, and scorching waves of heat washed over us, making us feel as if we were in a fiery hell.

The sea, the sky, everything in this area was dyed the color of flames.

"Wow, that looks so exaggerated!"

Having already retreated a considerable distance, Ying Rui covered his eyes with his hand, watching the fiery red mushroom cloud gradually rise in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, she wasn't marveling at how exaggerated the attack launched by Taiyuan was.

Even when she didn't intend to hit him, Taiyuan, who always liked to hide behind her sisters, was able to do something like this.

On the other side, before the mushroom cloud created by the shelling of Taiyuan had fully formed, another piece of bad news arrived for the Sirens.

That is—the Xuanwu Sky-Piercing Cannon, which is actually fired in two consecutive shots.

Amidst the small, somewhat endearing gasps from Taiyuan, the second blazing ball of light flew from the cannon muzzle into the distance.

However, it seems that Taiyuan was not flexible enough in using this tactic for the first time.

The spot where her shot landed seemed to be the same spot as before.

Originally, this type of double shot could be very effective against a single or a small number of high-strength enemies.

However, in that area of ​​the sea, there might not even be any charred remains of sirens left on the surface. Her shot would only result in a wasted effort.

"Hey, there's still some?!"

As another glowing ball flew in a parabola from behind him toward the distant sea, Ying Rui's mouth dropped open.

"Go...avoid!"

Without her saying anything, everyone else had already run far away when they saw this situation.

...

It's unclear how long it took, but the turmoil caused by Taiyuan finally subsided.

Ironically, this period was actually the quietest time in this sea area.

To avoid the blast radius and the aftershocks, both Yi Xian and the Sirens chose to cease fire simultaneously.

So, what are our "nuclear peace envoys" doing right now?

"Hey...no, no, Sister Fushun, your request is too...too much."

Taiyuan, having put away his cannon, is now standing on the sea, shaking his head incessantly.

Fushun, which had become one with her, seemed exceptionally excited at this moment.

Nothing can excite a seasoned bomb enthusiast more than a massive explosion.

In fact, Fushun had already come up with several ideas for making new types of "missiles" on the spot.

Of course, Taiyuan would never agree to her excessive request.

"No...that won't work."

"Sister Fushun, if you keep doing this... I... I'll go tell the Commander and Sister Anshan..."

Taiyuan, who had never been able to do much about her older sister, had no choice but to resort to telling her parents.

The effect was outstanding, and Fushun kept quiet about it.

...

Despite having a large number of troops wiped out by the two cannons fired at Taiyuan, the Sirens did not panic.

Compared to warships, their more rigid nature might indeed have an advantage in this situation.

Moreover, this is the world of the arbitration body, Hermite.

It's just a new unit; we can have as many as we want!

New units of troops are gathering from the other side of the sea.

Yi Xian looked into the distance with a solemn expression.

"So it wasn't that simple after all..."

...

Similar to what happened in Yixian, New Jersey is also facing a similar situation.

"Phew~ There are never enough enemies to kill!"

New Jersey was slightly out of breath.

She had just led her squad through several rounds of fighting on the Sirens' front lines.

This former White Eagle's newest battleship commander has a command style that is completely different from others.

Normally, as a commander, the most common command is "Charge!"

But New Jersey is different.

Her command style is always just "Charge with me!"

However, given New Jersey's own strong military capabilities, this command style often proves quite effective.

Well... the premise is that the person being directed by her can keep up.

“New Jersey, we should get rid of these sirens.”

"Then attack in that direction."

White Eagle's company came to her side and shared their views.

As she spoke, she pointed to the distance, to the tower whose spire was barely visible.

"If this is indeed the location of the Sirens' main base, then that place should be the key."

"Hmm~ I know~"

"In fact, I could skip over it right now if I wanted to!"

"But my intuition tells me that if we just let it go like this, something really bad will happen~"

Chapter 733: Hermite, Corrupted

"Something very bad?"

The companies from the White Eagle had some doubts.

However, her sister, Bumblebee, answered her question.

"Oh dear, Enterprise Sister, you can be really slow on the uptake sometimes~"

"Look at these sirens, they're all obviously not right!"

"When have you ever seen a siren covered in black lines?"

"Ok?"

The company only realized its mistake after being reminded by its own sister.

"So, the origin of the Sirens in this world is problematic?"

"Hmph~ It must be right!"

"If we can find Miss Hermite, we will definitely find the answer."

...

Located in the central sea area of ​​this world, near the main tower.

The arbitration body, Hermite IX, is quietly floating here.

Unlike the Hermite that Rob and the others had seen before, this Hermite, in a sense, is her true form.

Compared to other individuals, she possesses the most complete set of abilities.

Unfortunately, at this moment, she has been affected by some unknown influence.

The unique lantern mounted on her ship no longer emitted azure light, but rather a faint, dark red glow.

Just like how she refitted the parts of her ship that were originally supposed to be azure blue.

Above her head, several strange flying objects were circling around her.

If Robb's ships or corporate meta were here, they would definitely recognize these as the carrier-based aircraft belonging to Arbitrator Debel XV.

Without a doubt, this is yet another victim, following in the footsteps of arbitrator Herophant V.

Even more unfortunate than Herophant.

Her management machine and mainframe were directly compromised.

To some extent, the remains of Hermite lying in the warehouse of Donghuang Port District may very well be the last surviving "conscious" member of the Arbitration Authority, Hermite IX.

"The fog... has been broken..."

"The intruder...confirmed...as..."

Hermite's management machine, with its blank expression, showed no emotion whatsoever despite the invasion of its world.

Perhaps she has lost that function.

The strange black flying objects overhead changed their flight paths a few times, as if they were trying to convey some message to her.

"Lower-level terminal...initiating delivery..."

As soon as she finished speaking, some unknown changes occurred instantly on the battlefields in several directions across the sea.

"...The enemy's formation is tightening..."

Yi Xian frowned as she watched the enemy retreat.

There was no "ancient nuclear bomb" demonstration in Taiyuan just now; in fact, everyone else was fighting with considerable restraint.

These sirens had absolutely no reason to retreat.

Moreover, they've already reached their home base, and the arbitration body's main tower is right behind them. Where else can they retreat to?

...

On Rob's side.

"Huh? The shelling outside has stopped?"

Antix couldn't possibly be unaware of such a large target as the Spirit Turtle King.

Just as Zhenhai and New Jersey split up and headed towards Hermite's mainframe, a Siren force also headed in their direction.

The Robb family's businesses and maids immediately prepared to fight.

However, Rob left them all behind.

"This level of attack is nothing to worry about."

At that moment, as if to confirm Rob's statement, a cannonball struck the Spirit Turtle King's Myriad Manifestations Shield.

Then...

And that was it. If Ding'an hadn't told everyone that they had been attacked, no one would have reacted at all.

It's worth noting that even the cup of black tea that Rob was holding just now didn't spill a single drop.

However, according to Ding An's report, Antix and her group, who had been bombarding the area for quite some time, have actually stopped.

"This isn't like them at all!"

"Unless, a high-ranking officer in charge issued such an order."

"As for the higher-end models..."

"Heh, looks like they've finally arrived."
