Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Tirpitz's voice made Bismarck feel incredibly at ease.

...

With a sharp cry, several floating blades controlled by New Jersey traced agile arcs as they attacked Bismarck.

Bismarck, without hesitation, raised her shield and withstood the attack.

Because she knew that these were just feints.

A door opened, and New Jersey flew out of it.

In the blink of an eye, her sword blade touched the shield that Bismarck had erected.

Just like the last attack, the four little dragons roared as they tried to take control of New Jersey.

"You're not the only one with this kind of thing—"

New Jersey smiled slightly, and the wing-like structure on his back suddenly transformed into several tentacle-like objects, which became entangled with Bismarck's little dragon.

This unexpected turn of events surprised Bismarck slightly, and then a smile appeared on her face.

"Now—"

Everything around us was put on pause at that moment.

The dragon head on Bismarck's chest opened its mouth, and energy began to gather.

At this distance, she was certain that her attack would definitely be considered a hit.

...

As time resumed its flow, Rob's voice followed.

"Alright, you two, let's call this a draw."

"why?"

Upon hearing this voice, Bismarck's face showed an expression of disbelief.

"Hmph, it seems we're all thinking the same thing!"

New Jersey's face still wore that confident and energetic smile.

She pointed behind Bismarck.

There, several OORs were already fully charged, awaiting instructions from New Jersey to launch a coordinated attack.

Bismarck believed he had New Jersey under control, but New Jersey was just waiting for Bismarck to launch his attack before removing its shield.

"So, I was tricked by you too—"

Bismarck smiled faintly, and the surging energy in his chest dissipated.

The two sides, who had been locked in combat, dispersed and flew slowly toward Robo.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted on the beach.

Although many of the ships didn't understand the exercise at all.

But that didn't stop them from finding the spectacle quite entertaining.

As for Robb...

Right now, he's staring at his system panel, checking his resources.

When he saw the extra number in the research and development points section, a smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 917: The Corporate Miss is Now Super Awesome

"Phew, I knew it would work."

Having solved the problem of farming research points, Rob breathed a sigh of relief.

This will not be repeated.

At the same time, system reminders are also delivered in a timely manner.

It's clear that Rob did indeed take a shortcut this time.

"Hey system, since it's already like this, you just didn't see it, did you?"

The system did not respond to Rob's glib talk.

...

The ships that had come to watch the performance by the New Jersey and Bismarck quickly returned to their posts.

Rob declined Hindenburg's invitation to learn more about the Ironblood faction.

Because he had more important things to do at that moment.

"Is that so—"

Hindenburg gazed at Rob indifferently.

After hearing Rob's answer, she nodded slightly.

Although her expression didn't change much, Rob could still tell that the succubus was somewhat displeased.

"Listen to me, Hindenburg."

"The amount of information a person can absorb in a short period of time is limited."

"I never expected to understand everything about Ironblood in a short period of time."

"Therefore, I'm afraid I'll need your guidance in the future."

Although he didn't know why the other person was unhappy, as a professional, Rob knew that he should try to cheer them up first.

“Naturally, once a contract is established, it cannot be violated.”

"Contractor, I will do my best to help you understand everything about Ironblood."

That's all for today.

Having received Rob's promise that he would need her company for the rest of his life, the succubus's lips curled into a slight smile.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Luo Bo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, Enterprise, come walk with me!"

"I have a surprise for you later—"

"Um--"

The company nodded and reached out to take Rob's hand.

...

Rob and Enterprise walked slowly along the coastline.

Belfast's figure hung far behind.

The head maid maintained a good distance; her presence ensured that Rob and Enterprise would not feel uncomfortable, while also allowing her to arrive at the scene immediately if anything happened.

"Enterprise, do you remember what you told me before?"

"Remember..."

"I've solved the resource problem."

"Thanks to New Jersey, remember to thank her properly later—"

Immediately, the young woman's eyes lit up.

"I will, Commander!"

As she spoke, she tightened her grip on Rob's hand slightly.

Feeling the pressure from his palm, Rob smiled and shook his head.

It seems that their own ships have put too much pressure on the company.

"System, redeem the special upgrade item - Unyielding Archer."

[Item redemption complete; corresponding resources deducted.]

Accompanied by the system's mechanical voice, a sphere emitting a faint golden light appeared in Rob's hand.

Similar fluctuations immediately alerted businesses.

After a moment of surprise, a smile appeared on the face of the head maid in the distance.

"Ah—it seems the mistress has finally obtained this power too?"

...

"As for the company, you know the specific reasons, so I won't go into them."

"Anyway, this is the enhancement method I've prepared for you."

"but--"

As he spoke, Rob looked at the company.

His expression turned very serious.

After all, before a pearl awakens to the third stage, it has extremely serious side effects.

Because the original work didn't mention it at all, Robb had no idea what the side effects of the Unyielding Archer were.

He only had a vague understanding of the conditions for initiating the attack.

To be honest, if the effects of the pearls weren't truly powerful, Rob would really be unwilling to hand over this power to a company.

After all, there are just too many unknowns.

"As you know, this power of a business is not so easy to control."

“Using it may even be accompanied by unknown suffering.”

"Have you prepared all of this?"

The company's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

She stared into Rob's eyes, those purple eyes filled with determination.

"I know all of that."

"But if I don't accept it, I'm afraid one day I will lose the right to stand by your side?"

"Compared to that, these so-called costs are utterly insignificant—"

Rob was somewhat taken aback by his white-haired dog's sudden seriousness.

Before he could react, the company took the precious gem from his hand.

The next moment, the shimmering golden pearls slowly merged into the body of the enterprise.

...

In Bismarck's office at Ironblood Headquarters.

The person sitting here today is not Bismarck himself, but Robb.

He had been learning about Ironblood for several days, and at the very least, he could name most of Ironblood's ships.

Beside Rob, Miss Hindenburg acted like a secretary, helping Rob organize his documents.

"Contractor, here is the material you need to read today."

Just as Prince Eugen had said.

The reward for "healing" Bismarck was everything.

Yes, everything about Ironblood.

Although a formal inauguration ceremony has not yet been held, Rob has already become the supreme leader of the Ironblood.

As for Bismarck...

If Robb's estimation is correct, she should be being dragged out by Prince Eugen to "have some fun" by now.

Let's put these aside for now.

"Hindenburg, how are Ironblood's preparations for the upcoming joint exercise going?"

"Contractor, you should know that Ironblood doesn't need to prepare anything."
