Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

She had long silver-white hair, and her bangs on the front of her forehead were dyed with a hint of red, the Iron-Blooded Ship Girl's signature.

Her golden pupils were as bright as a cat's under the dim light. Apart from a pair of devil-like black horns on top of her head, her face was surprisingly similar to Prince Eugen.

"Anyone who dares to stand in the way of the commander and his iron-blooded steps will be smashed to pieces by our huge waves like a weak splash of water. Lord Bismarck, don't worry, hehe."

She smiled with great confidence, as if no matter how powerful the enemy was, they were nothing in front of her.

Bismarck looked at the ship girl with satisfaction and nodded, then finally turned his gaze to the shadows on the side.

In the shadow of the light, the inconspicuous, thin woman with short black hair remained silent from beginning to end, not saying a word.

She was wearing a black off-shoulder short gown and black tight leather boots. Although her flawless and cold face was hard to forget, she seemed to have no sense of existence at all.

If you put her in a crowd, you won't even be able to sense her presence at all.

Bismarck slowly stood up, looked at the serious black-haired ship girl, and said solemnly:

"As the flagship of the fleet that will set out tomorrow, the commander is in your care for the time being. Please protect the commander for us and hold on until we arrive."

The ship girl with short black hair gently lifted the bangs in front of her right eye, revealing her yellow eyes, and nodded slightly.

It was none other than Ulrich von Hutten, the victorious commander of the exercise the day before.

Chapter 43 Leviathan

The territorial waters of the United States of Oran, the East Continental Route.

On the calm ocean, a fleet consisting of four fully loaded large long-distance cargo ships is sailing at full speed.

On each cargo ship, a large white seagull logo indicates the identity of the fleet.

Among the five major financial groups of the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce of the United States of Oran, the only giant enterprise that can conduct navigation between the east and west continents is the Tianou Group.

At noon with a clear sky, in the luxurious restaurant of the forward freighter, two young men were having lunch and talking at the dining table.

One of them was wearing a white Orlan Navy uniform and had a calm look on his face.

One of them was short and fat, dressed in luxurious clothes, but with a fawning look on his face.

"I've told you before that I can never agree to a long-term contract like this. You'll get the same answer no matter which port you go to."

Zhao Rui, the young commander of the port area, sat at the dining table, put down his chopsticks and shook his head.

Hearing his words, the short and fat man's face froze, and he said anxiously:

"Brother Zhao, you are my elder brother. Since I have introduced you to so many commissions, please help me. Otherwise, those old men on the board of directors will definitely abolish my pre-election rights as a director!"

The short and fat man in luxurious clothes was so anxious that tears were about to fall from his face. He looked smug and frantically pleaded with Zhao Rui in front of him.

His name is Sun Dewang, and he is not an ordinary businessman.

As he said, he is one of the candidates for director of Tianou Group.

However, Tianou Group currently has at least seven or eight shortlisted candidates.

He is just one of them, and he is on the verge of being eliminated.

"Hey... Old Sun, it's not that I don't want to help you."

Seeing Sun Dewang almost in tears, even Zhao Rui, the commander of the port area, looked embarrassed.

"I have to admit that your Tianou Group is the closest to our Navy Department among the five major financial groups, and I have always been grateful to you."

"But, you are the Zhuhai Business Association after all. The Sirens have been attacking frequently recently, and the headquarters' missions are becoming more and more difficult."

Zhao Rui sighed deeply, looked at Sun Dewang deeply, and continued:

"You haven't forgotten that your passenger ship was attacked by Sirens a few days ago. Even with the escort of two destroyers, it was almost destroyed by the Sirens."

When mentioning this, the fat on Sun Dewang's face seemed to twitch.

Of course he remembered this because the passenger ship was owned by him.

It was precisely because the captain abandoned the passengers and fled when the passenger ship was attacked that he was exploited by other pre-election contenders and attacked crazily by the media.

As the main person in charge of the passenger business, he was criticized by the old guys on the board of directors.

If it weren't for the timely rescue by the powerful port commander whose identity was not exposed, and the Siren attack did not cause any casualties, his status as a candidate for director would probably have been revoked on the spot.

"Originally, the Navy Department strictly prohibited our port commander from cooperating with the consortium. However, due to the special management situation of the port, the higher-ups turned a blind eye."

"On weekdays, we cooperate with you to commission escort. As long as the ship girl is not injured, the higher-ups don't bother to care."

"This time, Lao Hong's two beloved

The baby was almost sunk by the Sirens. As the war with the Sirens becomes increasingly fierce, every casualty of a ship girl is a huge loss to the Navy."

"I heard that the military police have already detained him as a typical punishment."

"Now that I can do this kind of short-term commission with you, it is already a crime against the wind."

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he took a breath, reached out and patted Sun Dewang's shoulder, who had a bitter face, to comfort him.

It’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that I can’t even protect myself.

"That damn guy, eh!"

Sun Dewang slammed the table angrily.

Thinking of the captain of the passenger ship who abandoned his ship and fled, he became furious.

If the captain was on duty, the incident could have been resolved.

As a result, once that irresponsible guy ran away and was exposed by an insider of the group, the credibility of the entire Tianou Group was immediately reduced to the lowest level.

You know, Tianou Group has a monopoly on HNA's lucrative businesses, and the other four major conglomerates are all eyeing it.

In particular, Tomahawk Military Industry, whose headquarters is located in the same East Continent as Tianou Group, has begun to establish HNA Industrial Planning. This is exactly the opportunity the other party has been waiting for to stab in the back.

Looking at the naval commander in front of him who was of similar age to him, Sun Dewang knew that the other party had made up his mind and could only sigh deeply.

If it weren't for the appearance of the Siren, which blocked all routes between the United States of Oran and other countries, their Tianou Group would have been the largest transoceanic consortium in the world.

Today, Tianou Group has become the weakest of the five largest conglomerates in Oran.

Just as Sun Dewang opened his mouth to say something else, the hull of the passenger ship suddenly tilted abnormally.

Before the two could react, a violent alarm sounded inside the ship.

"Enemy attack? Is it the Sirens?"

Sun Dewang turned pale instantly, but Zhao Rui quickly calmed down by holding the dining table with plates scattered all over the floor.

"Even if it's Siren, there shouldn't be any problem. My main fleet is here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, deafening shelling and explosions were heard outside.

"Let's go out and take a look!"

The extremely heavy cargo ship was shaking violently in the ocean, as if it would capsize at any time.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions continued to be heard.

When the two rushed to the captain's room where they could observe the outside, they were stunned for a moment.

Like a strange black monster coming from the abyss, it blocked the fleet's progress diagonally in front of it.

The body of this giant beast just floating on the sea is taller than a cargo ship that is dozens of meters long, and several dark green tentacles covered with seaweed are waving wildly in the ocean.

Its ferocious mouth with sharp teeth emitted a series of creepy howls, and its eight scarlet eyes were staring at the tiny figures that were besieging it on the sea.

"How come...Leviathan?"

Zhao Rui's face also changed and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Sun Dewang also recognized the terrifying beast and wailed loudly:

"It's really Leviathan. Oh my god, don't these ghost things only lurk in the sea trenches of the Saint Lothalon Doctrine State? Why are they here?!"

Leviathan's huge and ugly body looks like a monster descending from the abyss, and an evil aura emanates from it.

Shockingly, its thick skin

Under the artillery fire of several ship girls, only some fragments were blown into pieces.

Several carrier-based planes circled in the air, continuously dropping shells on the body of the giant beast, causing violent explosions, but it seemed as if it did not cause any damage to it.

"Attack with torpedoes and smoke bombs. Everyone retreat. We can't handle this thing!"

Zhao Rui immediately took out the communicator from his waist and anxiously gave orders to his ship girls.

Those huge and towering tentacles were like giant steel whips. Even a ship girl with a ship outfit would probably suffer fatal injuries if hit by her.

Sun Dewang became anxious when he heard this, and immediately grabbed Zhao Rui excitedly, his voice trembling:

"What do you mean, don't you want these four ships of goods?"

Zhao Rui shook his hand away, shook his shoulders and yelled:

"Are you stupid? What's more important, life or goods?"

"As far as I know, only the Holy Inquisition of the Doctrine can drive away these Leviathans."

"And without battleships or large-caliber cannons, it is impossible to compete with Leviathan. My fleet only has light cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. I can't let them die!"

After saying that, Zhao Rui pulled Sun Dewang, whose face was already filled with despair, and shouted in a deep voice:

"You must immediately evacuate all crew members by submarine lifeboat. If we leave too late, everyone will escape..."

As the two were talking, the gigantic Leviathan raised all of its giant tentacles high up, as if blocking out the sunlight in half of the sky.

Under the shadow of this behemoth, both the freighter and the ship girl in her ship suit are as small as ants.

The monster from the deep sea is like a demon at this moment, and will crush any mortal who dares to challenge it in the ocean.

"Commander, run away!!!"

Hearing the anxious cries of his girls coming from the communicator, Zhao Rui looked at the tentacles that covered the sky in despair, but he sat limply on the ground and gave up on escaping.

In just a few seconds, he would be smashed into pieces along with the ship and the people by the tentacles of this Leviathan that should not have been here at all.

I can't escape anymore...

Chapter 44: The Iron-Blooded Fleet (Additional chapter, 3000 words)

Just as Zhao Rui and Sun Dewang were desperately waiting for death to fall above their heads, suddenly, a deafening explosion came from behind Leviathan.

An indescribable low and mournful sound came from that ugly mouth full of sharp teeth, which seemed to be able to pierce a person's eardrum.

Leviathan, which had been unharmed by the attacks of Zhao Rui's ship girls' main guns and carrier-based aircraft, was indifferent. However, it suddenly retracted its tentacles tremblingly, as if it was in great pain.

It was not until then that a burst of artillery fire was heard in the distance.

Before the two men could come to their senses, another series of violent explosions rang out, and a golden stream of shells like a curtain of light came like raindrops, blasting Leviathan's huge body into pieces.

A large amount of dark green blood and flesh splashed from the monster, dyeing the ocean a light green.

Leviathan's huge body slowly turned around, trying to use its tentacles to block the incoming shells head-on, but it was greeted by a group of bombers swooping down from the sky.

The indescribable wails were drowned out by the overlapping sounds of explosions, and the smoke from the intensive saturation bombing even directly enveloped Leviathan's body.

Several tentacles were waving wildly in the air, but under the exquisite control of the carrier-based aircraft operator, not a single one was hit.

After a round of bombing by the bomber group, Leviathan, which had no intact skin left, did something that no one expected.

It retracted all its tentacles into the sea, and then - its body sank rapidly, sinking to the bottom of the sea in just a few seconds.

It was just like a wild dog that had been beaten badly and ran away with its tail between its legs.

"This... is the power of the ship girls of your naval command? How much strength does your navy have hidden? Isn't this too cool?"

Sun Dewang watched as Leviathan completely dived into the sea and disappeared, and then he looked at the group of black bombers flying away into the distance in the sky.
