Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Chapter 172 The Separated People

The reason why the fleet set out so slowly was ultimately due to the Sirens.

Sending a small number of people first may not necessarily lead to finding the target, and there is a possibility of encountering unexpected events. In addition, White Eagle is very confident in its own technological level and is certain that there are no problems with the communication equipment, so things have become so troublesome.

However, a long time has passed since the incident happened, and the difficulty of finding the lost Donghuang fleet at this time is naturally greatly increased.

Yang Sikang asked Essex and others to participate in the search. With the help of Glory and Unicorn, a large number of carrier-based aircraft greatly improved the efficiency of the search.

But things went much more smoothly than they expected.

That huge red spider-web-like thing had no intention of hiding at all, and it covered a large area of ​​sea like blocking out the sky and the sun.

It was at least several times larger than what I had seen before, but I couldn't see it at all from a distance.

The same as last time is that there is still no abnormality to be seen when looking at the spider web from the outside to the inside. The difference is that this time there seems to be something different mixed in with the spider web.

Hazy, like a layer of fog.

The fleet gradually stopped a hundred meters away from the spider web. On the communication channel, Enterprise and others were asking about Yang Sikang's situation.

"It was indeed the same situation last time, but the scale was not as large as this. And there were no strange things inside last time, so I think I should not take my last experience too seriously."

Seeing this layer of red spider web, he felt a little relieved despite his worries.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Donghuang’s fleet was involved here.

Zhenhai was there last time, so she had some understanding of the situation here, so the danger was relatively not that great.

But the problem remains: the situations are different now and we cannot generalize.

There was one thing that worried him a lot, and that was his own problem.

Ever since he last entered the sea area covered by this spider web, he would occasionally suffer from unbearable headaches, and each time it happened with the appearance of this spider web.

But this time he didn't feel anything abnormal at all, nor did he feel any discomfort in his body.

This is a good thing, but it is also an abnormal situation.

"I'll go in first."

When Yang Sikang said this, the enterprises and others immediately expressed their opposition:

"Let the mass-produced model go in first to see the situation. Besides, you can't compare with the ship girl."

"But I know the situation better than anyone else. And among all the people present, I am the most suitable one to go in first."

Enterprise couldn't help but frown.

Yang Sikang was indeed the most suitable candidate to go in first. On the one hand, he had some experience in dealing with the situation, and on the other hand, his fleet was very strong. The only fleets that were stronger than his were the White Eagle and the Royal Fleet, but neither of them was suitable to go in as a vanguard.

If encountering danger, Yang Sikang's team is capable of dealing with it and can delay it until follow-up personnel enter. If there is no danger, his team composition can also start collecting information faster than others.

The only problem is that Yang Sikang’s team is his own ship girls, and logically speaking, this matter should be White Eagle’s business, and Enterprise and the others should take the lead.

However, Yang Sikang did not intend to argue with them on this issue for too long. After briefly explaining his intentions, he directly ordered to move forward.

This was something he had discussed and agreed upon with the ship girls beforehand, so after the order was given, the ship girls on his side left the main force and headed inside without any hesitation.

The moment he passed through the spider web, Yang Sikang frowned.

The scenery in front of me seemed to be strongly distorted at that moment, and a subtle feeling of dizziness made people feel very uncomfortable.

Thick fog enveloped the surroundings. It only took a few seconds for the command ship to pass through the fog, but he felt as if he had run a sprint and his breathing began to become rapid.

But after passing through the fog, what he was most worried about happened - his team was separated.

"commander!"

The Javelin leaped high from the sea, folded up its ship equipment, landed on the deck, and ran towards the command room.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yang Sikang, and then she said nervously:

"Commander, it's bad! Everyone is gone, only Sirius and I are still here..."

"Don't worry, Javelin. We've taken this into account ahead of time, haven't we?"

"But, but, if it's just me and Sirius..."

"Having you and Sirius here is enough. At least I'm not alone here."

Yang Sikang shrugged, smiled and touched the head of the javelin:

"Don't worry, our situation is not bad. At least our team will not lack the ability to search for the enemy, which is already a good thing."

"Yes, yes! But the communication is also..."

"Just follow the plan we agreed on before. Now our primary goal is to deal with the enemies around us."

Yang Sikang smiled and looked away.

Through the projection device, the contents of each display screen can be intuitively displayed in front of him instead of on a small screen. A large number of enemies have been detected on the radar, and the number is still increasing.

"Then I will go into battle right now! I will do my best to protect the commander!"

Javelin raised his javelin, turned around and ran out quickly, then jumped up, unfolded his ship suit and returned to the sea.

Yang Sikang shook his head helplessly, and then said to Sirius in the communication channel:

"Same to you, Sirius. Don't worry, everyone will be fine."

"Yes, Master!"

Yang Sikang smiled helplessly.

Sirius probably didn't notice that her tone had revealed her mood, but Yang Sikang wasn't stupid enough to point it out.

Modifying his own command ship based on the mass-produced model of Helena was probably the wisest advice he had ever received.

With the help of the modified SG radar, he can now obtain a considerable amount of information.

"We are at a great disadvantage in numbers. The Siren really knows how to play, haha."

Yang Sikang had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The battle has begun.

Outside the spider web, Yang Sikang’s fleet seemed to be swallowed by something after entering it. It was clearly right in front of them, but it disappeared as soon as they walked past.

And this disappearance is not the normal one where one enters little by little, but the moment one touches that area, that person disappears from the sight of other people.

"It is indeed a strange sea area. Is this the 'Mirror Sea' he mentioned?"

Enterprise pressed down the brim of his hat and said to Guanghui in the communication channel:

"There has been no news from Yang Sikang, which proves that the communication between the inside and outside has been cut off. Considering the possibility of the team being divided, I will lead a part of the team in first. Cleveland will lead the other half of the fleet, and I will leave the leadership to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales."

"Ah, leave it to me, Miss Enterprise."

As the home port, White Eagle's fleet was much larger than the Royal's, and because of this, it became possible for Enterprise to take half of it and give the remaining half to Cleveland and the Prince of Wales.

A hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, and the god of death fell from the sky and landed on her shoulders. Enterprise took the lead and rushed into the spider web. After a brief dizziness, she looked at the ship in front and laughed.

"It seems that my luck is not bad."

Chapter 173 Walking with Glory

Yang Sikang looked at the reaction that suddenly appeared behind him on the radar. He was stunned at first, and then realized that someone who came in later had come near him.

After all, my prediction was not too wrong. At least this place did not cause them to be completely dispersed, so there was still a certain degree of safety.

However, when looking at that person, Yang Sikang sighed helplessly.

"It happened to be this one."

The friendly target that appeared not far from him turned out to be Glory. And beside her, as it was natural, there was the Unicorn, and in addition, there were several mass-produced ships.

It seems that Glory has been separated from the ship girls of the maid team, but her expression seems to be quite happy, and she doesn't seem to be uneasy at all because of being separated from others.

As she appeared nearby, the communication channel was reconnected, and then Guanghui's voice reached Yang Sikang's ears.

"It seems we are destined to be together, Commander Yang. I will be looking forward to your guidance from now on, hehe~"

"It is I who should ask for your guidance, Miss Glory."

Getting support from Guanghui is a good thing, but it also means that every move of Yang Sikang will be watched by Guanghui.

Even though the other party may be very friendly now, no one can say whether there will be conflicts in the future.

Yang Sikang was quite helpless about this, but there was nothing he could do.

But the addition of Glory and Unicorn had a significant effect on the battle on his side.

The addition of carrier-based aircraft to the battle quickly made it difficult for the mass-produced Siren to cope with the attack, and during this period Yang Sikang also communicated with Guanghui through the communication channel about some of the information he had obtained.

As for the business and other people, Yang Sikang was not too worried.

They have sufficient combat power of their own, and the ship girls on Yang Sikang's side have made preparations in advance to deal with such situations, so they will not be at a loss.

As for Siren's purpose, no matter what, we must solve the current troubles first before thinking about those things.

From the time he entered this sea area to now, he first confirmed two things:

1. This sea area was completely different from the one he had entered before. The Sirens did not seem to appear out of thin air in an endless stream.

2. This sea area is more orderly than the last time he entered it, and there is no sign of ships colliding with each other and sinking in large numbers.

According to the detection of SG radar, he has identified several directions where the source of the Siren ships are most likely to appear.

The Glory was responsible for the combat, while the Unicorn's carrier-based aircraft quickly took off and conducted reconnaissance.

After a few minutes, they confirmed the target.

The Siren ships all emerged from near a reef, where there was a strange mechanical device.

"However, it would be very dangerous to break through in our current situation. It would be very costly to clear out the surrounding Sirens."

Guanghui spoke excitedly, without any worry in his tone, instead he seemed quite excited.

"So Commander Yang, what should we do?"

"It's enough to use carrier-based aircraft to blow that thing up."

Yang Sikang said calmly:

"We still have some disposable ship equipment that was not used up last time. Javelin, take two torpedo planes to Unicorn."

"Eh? Okay, okay!"

"Hey, Commander Yang, are you going to let the unicorns conduct this round of attacks?"

Yang Sikang did not answer, but continued:

"Sirius, prepare to retreat while the torpedo planes drop their bombs. Now that no one else is within radar range, we should leave the area."

"As you command, my proud master!"

Immediately afterwards, the command ship where Yang Sikang was stationed began to turn around, and the Javelin had already handed the disposable torpedo bomber to the Unicorn.

After getting Guanghui's nod, Unicorn completed the replacement of the ship's equipment, and then the torpedo plane flew out.

After delivering the food, the Javelin arrived near Sirius. The four ship girls, together with the command ship, reduced the area of ​​defense, while the command ship, Sirius and Javelin fired their main guns at the same time as the Unicorn's torpedo planes dropped bombs.

Compared with the ship girls' ship equipment, the command ship's guns are more eye-catching. However, the fact is that the effects of the two ship girls' ship equipment far exceed the destructive power of the command ship.

Guanghui shook his head slightly, but still controlled the mass-produced type to protect himself and others and turned to leave.

A large number of torpedoes bombarded the object that was suspected to be the core, accompanied by a secondary explosion in the distance. They knew without confirmation that the object should have been destroyed.

The torpedoes launched by the mass-produced model and the Javelin briefly formed a fire vacuum zone around them. What surprised Guanghui was that Yang Sikang's command ship actually had the function of laying mines!

"There should be no ordinary staff on the command ship. Commander Yang, how did you manage to get the command ship to deploy torpedoes?"

"Such trivial matters can be handled by the program itself. Why do we need people to handle them?"

Yang Sikang took over the topic lightly and then transmitted the planned route to everyone.

"Will there be any problems with this route? It looks like we are going to go deep into the enemy's territory."

"It won't be a problem."

Yang Sikang did not explain why, but answered her question with the simplest words.

In the communication channel, while Yang Sikang was speaking, one could hear that he seemed to be dealing with something, but Guanghui was obviously not quite understanding of his sudden change in attitude.

Having already entered the state of battle, there was no other expression on Yang Sikang's face.
