Come and connect with me!

"In that case, let's keep it simple. Hmm, maybe given the current lack of resources, we shouldn't entertain them according to the improved standards of the port area..."

Belfast was holding the writing board with the yellow chickens' summary and thinking seriously. On the other side, Prince Eugen and Count Zeppelin had put on their bathrobes and finished their bath.

Iron Blood had no tradition of encouraging enjoyment. Even though the bath was really good this time, they did not indulge in it. The two Iron Blood ships had silver hair draped over their shoulders, and their wet long hair was filled with the lingering scent of jasmine. The two people walking side by side were of similar figure. The warm bathroom also diluted Count Zeppelin's cold temperament. From a distance, they wrapped in bathrobes looked like close sisters.

"...There will be a meal later. The royal ships can chat with each other over a cup of tea for an entire afternoon. Try to chat with the boats as much as possible. Anything is fine. We will leave around dusk."

Prince Eugen winked at Count Zeppelin.

"That's the first thing you have to do. Do it smartly."

"I don't need your warning. I have already set foot on this dark road. Shadow is my cloak. The truth is hidden under the mask. No one can see through the end of this fate..."

Prince Eugen's eye twitched and he took a deep breath.

"...The second thing is to forget all the darkness...shadows...fate...ending...!"

Count Zeppelin looked unhappy, but Prince Eugen's face was so distorted that it was almost like a ghost's face, which actually made her feel a little, small, insignificant fear.

"Humph, since this is fate's warning, I have no choice but to obey."

Prince Eugen said nothing, but just looked at her expressionlessly.

Count Zeppelin stopped and looked back.

After a while, she turned her head away and said unwillingly, "I mean, I know."

Prince Eugen nodded, but after meeting Count Zeppelin, she felt that she was really on the same path as Count Zeppelin, a dark road with no end in sight.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead due to anger, looked at Count Zeppelin who had a sullen face beside her, and encouraged herself again in her heart.

Come on, Eugen, after this field mission, apply for a long vacation and go to a place where there is no Count Zeppelin to have a good rest for a month!

No, two months!

Little Zeppelin also ran out at this time. Belfast called away all the barbarians and assigned tasks. Xiaochuan, who had no playmates, was very bored facing a few little yellow ducks alone, and did not stay in the bathroom for long.

"Sister Beifa, I'm here to see you!"

The head maid in the hall was directing the little yellow chicken to move things in the hall on the first floor. There was a big difference between a tea party and a banquet. It was not just about the type of food. The table where the food was placed, the distance between the guests and the host, and the seating arrangement of multiple guests all needed to be carefully considered. For example, at the Royal Tea Party in the Mirror Sea, the table was a small round table. Except for the main seat, guests could sit anywhere. It was a private tea party for friends only, and there was only one teapot.

If the relationship is not that close, such as inviting Tiexue to the second tea party, a more reserved long square table will be set up, and the distance will be maintained. The meals will be enjoyed separately, and there will be more than one red teapot, which means being polite but distant.

The tea party could not be repeated a second time in one day. The replaced snacks could be given to servants as rewards or kept as snacks, but they could never be seen on the table again.

Therefore, this is naturally a formal banquet.

The head maid heard little Zeppelin's shouting and turned her head to see that the little boy's hair was still wet. It was obvious that he had just wiped it with a towel and came over. He was wearing slippers on his short legs and trotted over.

"Little Zeppelin, you can't run over here so fast. The floor is slippery and it's easy to fall in slippers."

She half squatted down, took out a dry towel, and carefully wiped the water off little Zeppelin's hair.

"Don't be lazy and don't wash your hair. It's unladylike to meet people with wet hair. And after getting out of the bath, you should rinse it again with clean water. Otherwise, if you go out with the smell of bath water, others will laugh at you... hm?"

She was talking halfway when she looked up as if she sensed something, and saw two white-haired monsters with wet hair and the smell of jasmine on their bodies walking backwards stiffly, leaving two lines of shallow slipper watermarks on the floor. If she hadn't discovered them in time, the two guys would have retreated to the door.

After being discovered by her, Prince Eugen smiled dryly and waved to her.

"Hey, do you have any extra towels? There don't seem to be any in the bathroom."

Chapter 50: Aircraft Carriers Are Invincible

In the Nier world, Enterprise turned his head and muttered: "Why don't you give me the sky thunder!"

That's a really good question.

Wuming's eyes were wandering.

The Sky Thunder is so difficult to make. It takes fifty blueprints to make a finished product. It takes a long time and depends a lot on luck. After I barely made it, I strengthened it to +13 and gave it to Shinano. After that, I tried it on Haku and gave it to Enterprise a few times. After going around in circles, it still returned to Shinano.

However, this thing is closely related to luck. When Qiye asked this, Wuming just wanted to spread his hands helplessly and ask her why she always asked such sharp questions!

"Ahem, isn't the Pirate Squadron useful?"

Before Enterprise could say anything, Frederick the Great smiled gently and advised, "Enterprise, colored equipment is actually quite common. Equipment with a hard-to-remember name like the [Prototype Twin 457mm Main Gun MKA] is actually similar to the purple 406mm. You don't have to take it too seriously."

Enterprise tilted his head and gave her a silent look.

It’s hard to remember, but you still remember it so clearly?

"Um, can you please tell me what happened first?"

Wuming asked cautiously. This time the Ace Air Combat was not broadcast live. In fact, even if it was, the flips and turns in the air would only make Wuming dizzy and he would not be able to see the battle situation clearly.

Therefore, even though there was war raging in the distance, all we could see here was Enterprise throwing out planes. Enterprise asked who to fight against, and Enterprise laughed at the big robot and said it was a sitting duck. Enterprise was killed in seconds.

All these changes happened so quickly that it was not even as long as it takes for a Kamen Rider to transform for the first time.

Enterprise sighed and recounted everything that happened, leaving Wuming with questions.

"If you use the Sky Thunder, can you win in that situation?"

"I can't do it. I underestimated these big guys. When I found that the laser beam was slow to turn, I circled around them with my speed advantage. Even the sky thunder was useless. Well, as a more advanced sky thunder, the data has an aviation value of 65 points. If it were given to me, the performance of this aircraft would be nearly half improved. But this time it was a tactical mistake and had nothing to do with the equipment. The core temperature of the laser beam fired by the robot is roughly estimated to be tens of thousands of degrees. Even the sky thunder would be cut into pieces and burned like before."

Enterprise was somewhat unwilling to accept this, but she did not hide her mistake. The seemingly clumsy giant just slightly changed the way it used its weapons, and immediately put her plane in a dead end. She had to admit this failure, otherwise she would not be able to make any progress again.

"Well, then, can we conclude that we do not have a tactical advantage in facing these iron guys head-on?"

Wuming frowned. The robot's strength was secondary. In less than a few minutes, it changed its mind and completed the counterattack. He was amazed by its adaptability.

What happened to the agreement to just follow the guide and kill people with your eyes closed?

"No, on the contrary. A change in tactical thinking only requires a little bit of innovation, but the mecha shell cannot be reinforced in a short period of time. The weakness has already been tested!"

Enterprise said confidently. As she spoke, Wuming felt the sky darken. Dozens of black fighter planes were silently suspended in the air. These cold steel birds were silently overlooking the earth.

"A mechanical life form can defeat one of my soldiers. I must give it respect."

She grinned, her eyes burning.

"But I am a company. I am an army by myself!"

The piercing sonic booms rang out one after another, and the fighter jets in formation were like phantoms. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the air, leaving behind only a long trail of cloud.

"Let's get to round two!"

Unlike the previous tentative attack, this time Enterprise no longer concealed itself. A total of eighty-one fighter jets roared through the sky. The small animals on the ground looked up blankly, shocked by these human creations that had been away from the planet for thousands of years.

On that battlefield, the android commander just felt sad for the death of this unknown ally, and the next moment, continuous thunders came from afar, and a large number of fighter jets flew over wildly, firing missiles from afar, bombarding the relatively fragile joints of the big robot!

The big robot's head suddenly lit up, and it quickly analyzed the corresponding tactics in a few moments.

Several large robots stood back to back, and the laser web began to bloom again. In the safe place on their backs, a large group of small and medium-sized robots hid in it, using the large robots as cover and quickly emitting spherical energy waves. For a moment, the entire sky was completely lit up, and the roar resounded through the clouds. This bizarre sky could be seen from dozens of miles away!

The physical missiles launched by the fighter jets turned and flew towards the big robot, which also used laser beams for air defense and fought back. The Enterprise maintained its air combat advantage. The aircraft fought at high speed and long distance. The number of laser beams was not infinite. The closer the distance, the denser these high-temperature networks could be woven. However, at a far distance, they could only become sparse long lines and could not threaten these fighter jets with amazing speed. The laser beams no longer posed the deadly threat of last time!

However, the defensive battle of these robots was flawless. As long as the flying props approached, the laser beam would instantly destroy anything that approached. The robot's aircraft also tried to attack, but with the full efforts of the enterprise, these aircraft could maintain the same speed while accurately detonating the aircraft one by one.

The artificial people sandwiched between the two stared at all this in a daze, and for a moment they couldn't find anything to do.

"These reinforcements need a breakthrough!"

The android commander ordered on the internal channel.

"Model B, follow me. As long as we can create a flaw in the laser beam protection, even if it's just for a few seconds, we can create opportunities for our allies!"

The android commander said this before rushing out, advancing quietly under the cover of the sky.

Although they really wanted to exchange tactics with these friendly forces that came out of nowhere, the communication channels of Enterprise's fighter jets were too different from those of the androids, and the encryption programs were different, so they could not get in touch at all. However, stupid people may behave in all kinds of ways, but smart people will always be in sync with each other. As long as an opportunity is created, the commander over there will never miss it!

The underground android troops calmly moved across the battlefield. The oppressive feeling brought by a whole formation of fighter jets completely distracted the robots' attention. The firepower intensity of the fighter jets was extremely high, and their target was not the solid armor shell on the front, but the waist joints, with the intention of disintegrating these big guys.

The focus of firepower was even more concentrated on the large robot that was already badly damaged. It was that large robot that was protected by the robot camp, so the damage was shared to a certain extent, and the firepower output could not achieve the expected effect.

Enterprise is on the offensive side and should consume more material resources than the defensive side. However, as a Rubik's Cube Monster, it can manufacture new aircraft inside the ship at any time. The reason why it does not rely on this feature to play the refueling tactic is because fighting not only depends on the performance of weapons on the surface, but more importantly, it is necessary to hide the trump card. This technology of quickly replenishing fighter jets is the trump card reserved by Enterprise. When the previous batch of fighter jets began to fight, the second batch of fighter jets were already on standby in the ship, ready to replenish a round of combat formations with full ammunition at any time.

While maintaining the control of the fighter formation, Enterprise also paid some attention to looking at the androids, but was surprised to find that the number was wrong and some of the androids were missing.

Just as I was wondering, I saw that something new seemed to have happened inside the bunker formed by the big robots. A big robot turned its head to the back and let out an angry roar. Several black figures seemed to have done something and were leaving the robot bunker and running out.

good chance!

She did not hesitate. Several fighter jets covered each other and allowed two intact fighter jets to break through the air defense network. With the help of the fighter jet's camera, Enterprise saw an android with short silver hair and a wild sword in his hand. He stood on the back of the big robot with a broken hole, holding a black block high. Then it exploded with a bang. The violent impact caused a huge flaw in the entire defense network. The two planes aimed at the weak points that had been set long ago, carrying all the cluster bombs, and smashed down fiercely!

boom! ! !

The explosion triggered a chain reaction, and the entire robot line exploded completely. The flames rising into the sky completely buried these mechanical creatures.

The remaining androids on the battlefield cheered thunderously to celebrate their rare victory, but those unknown black planes had already left silently.

Of the returning aircraft formations in the distance, half were killed in the battle, but the operators behind the scenes kept their heads down, thinking about the short-haired android.

"Hiss... her voice sounds familiar..."

Chapter 51 Friendly Marks

port area.

Maybe it was because of what happened just now, the atmosphere at the table always felt a little weird.

Prince Eugen and Count Zeppelin, who were both a little uncomfortable, had now wiped their hair, washed their bodies, and put on cotton indoor shoes that made no clicking noise when they moved - just like little Zeppelin.

"I'm sorry, dear guests. The port is newly built and the facilities are not complete. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

The head maid leaned slightly to the side and announced that this awkward banquet had finally begun.

On the long square table, the host and the guest sat opposite each other, with the head maid - Count Zeppelin on one side and Prince Eugen - Young Zeppelin on the other.

As for the seating of the big and small Zeppelins facing each other, there is really no way around it. Both the host and the guest have Zeppelins, and according to dining etiquette, which is to help the host and the guest quickly develop social relationships, this is unavoidable.

Prince Eugen was the first to recover, or rather, she was unwilling to hand over the leadership entirely to the head maid.

"It looks rich, but I'm not very hungry now. Belfast, would you like to chat with my rude guest for a while?"

"Miss Prince Eugen, promoting communication is the purpose of this banquet. I also hope that you can speak freely here."

The head maid looked at Prince Eugen seriously and raised her hand to indicate that she was listening.

"Hmm, speak freely? Very good, I like your way of speaking, this is exactly what I need."

Prince Eugen nodded with satisfaction.

"Belfast, I don't want to beat around the bush, nor do I want to care about the disputes within your Azur Lane. I just want to know whether this port is a temporary stage or a permanent port. To what extent do you want to welcome us? Is this what Her Majesty the Queen means?"

For any camp, especially the Red Axis which has essentially been weakening over the years, a port area with complete facilities is precious. The huge investment of money cannot go without return. The consumption of shipping materials and manpower is not a small amount. In addition, in order to protect against the Sirens that may appear at any time, a varying number of Rubik's Cube ships must be stationed there. Both military force and financial resources need to be weighed. After all, money is unlimited, but the number of Rubik's Cube ships is limited, and they cannot be really thrown into a corner to blow the wind.

But the royal family is different. Everyone in the world knows that the queen is rich and willful. It is not surprising that she wants to do anything when she is bored that day. It is not impossible for her to even spend a little money to build a port area for fun.

However, Prince Eugen cannot be as casual as the queen. She does not want to know what kind of deal has been reached within Azur Lane, but since the royal head maid has sent out friendly signals, she must know where the boundaries of this relationship are, what the royal family wants Iron Blood to do, and how much benefit they are willing to give.

"I'm sorry, Miss Prince Eugen, I must remind you once again that this port area is the commander's territory. Everything here has nothing to do with the royal family. I don't know if there are any so-called internal disputes. The Azur Lane we understand may not be the same thing."

The head maid did not pretend to be profound. She said seriously: "Our commander covers the entire Azure Lane, and Her Majesty the Queen of the Royal Family is no exception. Although I am Her Majesty's servant, in a sense, the commander is my master. Miss Prince Eugen, no matter who appears in this sea this time, no matter what camp they are from, I will treat them equally. This is also what the commander means. The Royal Family also wants it, whether it is the Sakura Empire, the Soviet Union, any camp or any country. As long as they don't raise their guns at the first time, our port area will not take the initiative to act. But there is no so-called preferential treatment. Do you understand?"

Prince Eugen had a blank expression on his face.

She didn't understand, she just thought Belfast was crazy.

The royal power is concentrated in Queen Elizabeth, who divides the power and delegates it to the House of Confinement, which is jointly governed by the Magic Cube ships and human elites. One of the three most important seats in the House of Confinement is held by the Royal Maid Belfast, whose status is even higher than that of the iron-blooded Prime Minister's Secretary, but she has always followed the Queen. Even when she came to the House of Confinement, she stood behind the Queen. The seat was naturally empty, and her vote was not required for voting, so she was not well-known.

However, even before the [Naval Treaty], when Iron Blood was barely in its heyday, her personal power and wealth were greater than those of the great nobles of the Iron Blood Principality. Many people secretly called her the Shadow Prime Minister of the Royal Family, believing that her influence on Her Majesty the Queen was unparalleled. All warrants from the Royal White Tower would pass through this head maid, and some government documents would simply be handed over to her for approval. In many cases, the willful queen would leave all affairs to her. It can be said that in her eyes, there were no secrets in the entire royal family.

And such a person actually said that the commander of this port area is her master?

He even placed the importance of the port commander above the Queen. Such remarks even made Prince Eugen not know how to respond for a while.

Should I tell her that I have been annoyed with Bismarck for a long time, why don’t we form an alliance and rebel together?

Prince Eugen's eyes twitched, and she felt that something was still wrong. There was too much information, and she could only remain silent now.

"Miss Prince Eugen, do you have any questions? About the ownership of this port area?"

The head maid asked again.

"Ah, there is no doubt about it. No, I know everything. Yes, everything."

Prince Eugen waved his hands repeatedly, lowered his head, picked up the knife and fork, and started cutting the steak on the plate that looked like a shoe sole.

It tastes quite nice, but the shape is a bit malicious. It would be very classy if you could light a candle and ask someone to play the violin.

After Prince Eugen began to eat, the banquet fell silent again. Count Zeppelin folded his arms across his chest and looked sideways at Prince Eugen and the head maid, not daring to look at the little Zeppelin sitting opposite him.

"Well, fate... Today, the weather is really nice."
