Azur Lane Mobile Front.

...

Just as Rob had predicted, after a while, the crystal encasing Tirpitz shattered with a crisp sound.

Tirpitz appeared before everyone, now dressed in more form-fitting clothes.

"Sister—that was just now—"

Tirpitz looked on in astonishment at the changes happening to him.

Rob noticed that more of Grandit's body was now lit up.

"I knew it—"

"Next!"

As Robo's voice rang out, the Ironblood ships looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't know what was happening, so they didn't dare to respond to Rob easily.

"Um, if I become like Bismarck, can I fight alongside her in the future?"

U-556 tugged at Rob's sleeve, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

"That's right!"

"Then what do I need to hesitate about?"

A smile spread across U-556's face.

She ran a few steps to Grandit and stretched out her little hand.

The next second, she was enveloped in light.

...

Looking at the scene before him, for some reason, a sentence suddenly popped into Luo Bo's mind.

"Please insert the next CD—"

Chapter 911: Classic Five for One

The situation with U-556 is exactly the same as that with Tirpitz.

Not long after, when a large area of ​​Grandit's body lit up again, the crystal encasing her shattered.

"Hmm~ Do we need more people to get involved?"

"This looks quite interesting—"

Prince Eugen, whose mind is always quick-witted, finally understood.

The "new ship equipment" of their own flagship appears to be a multi-person version.

Although he didn't quite understand, Prince Eugen had a good grasp of the current situation.

"Oh dear, it seems I'll be relying on you for support again from now on, old friend—"

With a light laugh, Prinz Eugen walked past Bismarck and became the next ship to synchronize with Grandit.

"Commander, how many more people do you need?"

Gneisenau, who had been silently recording everything that was happening before his eyes, walked up to Rob.

Although it seems that Ironblood has gained extremely powerful strength.

But sending ships in one by one, like the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather, is ultimately not a sustainable solution.

After all, in Gneisenau's understanding, if this huge humanoid machine were to go into battle, Bismarck, Tirpitz, and Prinz Eugen would probably all have to be deployed.

In that case, there really won't be anyone in charge on the Ironblood side.

It was out of this concern that Gneisenau raised this question with Rob.

If I'm not mistaken—

Rob counted the number of people; including Prince Eugen who was still inside the crystal, there were now four.

"We need another person involved."

"Do we need one more person...?"

"Yes, and they must be someone who has a close relationship with Bismarck."

Rob's words startled Gneisenau slightly.

Even if you include the entire Ironblood, aside from the few who are already standing in front of Grandit, the one with the closest relationship to Bismarck is himself.

"I see, I understand—"

Taking a deep breath, Gneisenau silently walked to the vicinity of the crystal encasing Prince Eugen, making final preparations.

...

When the crystal encasing Gneisenau shattered, almost the entire body of Grandit was illuminated.

However, this only applies to the majority.

"commander?"

Bismarck looked at Rob with some confusion.

Her eyes seemed to be asking whether anyone else was needed.

"No—the situation is different now!"

Rob decisively stopped Scharnhorst, who was about to step forward.

Including the backup pilot, there were only five people in the Grandit, and Rob definitely remembered this information correctly.

Synchronization is not yet complete, and what's missing is definitely not a sixth man.

Because, upon careful observation, Rob discovered that the locations of all the Grandit bodies had been lit up.

The unlit parts are the sections of the Grandite Dragon God form composed of the King Dragon.

In other words, what's lacking now should be—

Thinking of this, Rob subconsciously looked to the other side of the dock.

There, Bismarck's Gerlyon lay quietly, observing the situation on Bismarck's side.

"Um?!"

The Ironbloods also noticed something unusual at this moment.

When ships are equipped with "new ship equipment", the original ships will fall into silence due to the loss of connection with the ship.

This point is documented in detail by each faction.

However, Bismarck's Gryphon was lying there like nothing had happened.

Even if it is built with the most advanced technology from Ironblood, this will never change.

unless--

“That… Bismarck—”

"Why don't you call it over and try?"

"Commander, is this... reasonable?"

Even Bismarck was shocked by Robb's wildly imaginative idea.

It's one thing to have ships and "new ship equipment" going hand in hand, but now they're even arranging ship equipment for them?

"Let's give it a try, there won't be any side effects anyway."

"I see--"

After staring at Rob for a while, Bismarck finally nodded.

“Geluweng, come to my side.”

"Ow—"

The metal dragon roared, and then, amidst the hum of machinery, slowly crawled to Bismarck's side.

"Touch it—"

"Ow?"

Upon hearing Bismarck's order, Gryphon tilted his head in a very human way.

Clearly, it didn't quite understand the meaning of the command.

However, it still carried out Bismarck's orders very well.

When metal comes into contact with metal, that familiar light flashes once again.

This time, it encased the enormous mechanical dragon beast inside.

"This—it actually is—"

Not to mention the ships present, even Robo had an expression that said, "This has shocked my mother for a whole year."

"Wow, that's really good!!!"

...

As Grandit was illuminated, a flash of light far brighter than before filled the entire dock.

Even from a distance, the intense light emanating from the dock could be observed.

All that could be heard was the crisp sound of crystal shattering.

After everything calmed down, Bismarck, completely covered in mecha armor, appeared before everyone.

Then--

Prince Eugen and Gneisenau seemed to have been forgotten, remaining where they were.

"Ah—it really stays true to the original setting—"

Looking at the scene before him, Rob shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It looks like I'll have to spend a lot of time explaining again.

...

"Wow~ In other words, our Bismarck can freely choose two people to fight alongside her."

"And those who weren't selected were left behind?"

After Robb's explanation, Prince Eugen had a general understanding of the situation.

She and Robb looked at the brand-new Bismarck with great interest.

Because the Grandit Dragon God type is equipped with various types of weapons, Bismarck's body is almost entirely covered by the mobile suit.

A touch of blue highlights appeared at the ends of her hair.

And the tips of her long golden hair were tinged with silver.

It can be seen that these are traces on Tirpitz and U-556.

"To be precise, besides Bismarck, there is one person whose position remains unchanged."

"There is only one person who can be rotated."

"Alright, tell me, who will fight alongside you all the time, Bismarck?"

As he spoke, Rob looked at Bismarck.

"...It's Tirpitz."

"Huh? Is that how it is?"

Prince Eugen shouted somewhat affectedly.

Then, she grabbed Bismarck.

"Hurry, let me try too—"

"Hey, wait, Eugen—"

Yes, it's clear that Bismarck was only slightly better than others at dealing with Prince Eugen.

(But speaking of which, this classic five-for-one trade of mine looks kind of familiar, doesn't it?)
