Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

Belfast's eyes changed, and he said first:

"Then let me be the bait, Master."

It was impossible for the Purifier to cooperate with their needs, and judging from the Purifier's previous battle experience, it would be extremely difficult to induce her to miss the main gun's attack.

To achieve this, bait is a must.

Lure the Purifier to fire a full-force attack at the bait, and then at that time decompose and transform the energy of its attack to complete the construction of the ship's equipment.

This is a simple but extremely dangerous task. No matter which link goes wrong, the person acting as bait will be directly attacked by the Purifier's main gun.

It's basically a dead end!

Belfast was eager to take on this responsibility not because she was confident enough, but because of worry.

But her worries were indeed not without reason, because Yang Sikang then said:

"I'll be the bait."

"Owner!"

"You should understand, Belfast. I am the only one who can make this bait, and it can only be done by me."

Yang Sikang smiled and shook his head, saying:

"The Sirens' goal is to kill me. They hate me the most, and will only attack me with all their strength when they have the chance to attack me directly. And I'm just an ordinary person, so they won't deliberately miss and make me lose my fighting ability."

Belfast suddenly became anxious.

She knew that what Yang Sikang said made sense, and objectively speaking it was also a reasonable speculation.

But being reasonable doesn't mean she can accept it!

"But, Master, you are our commander. How can we allow you to..."

"Because I am the commander, this is something that I should be responsible for."

Yang Sikang still smiled and said:

"I built each of your ships myself, and as the commander I have the obligation to welcome you."

“But this is no ordinary construction…”

"But I'm not a regular commander."

Chapter 218 Yorktown II, Arrival on the Battlefield

Time returns to the present.

The white light gradually took shape, but the true identity of the ship girl was not revealed for a long time.

Until the moment when the pure white hand took the blue rose from Yang Sikang's hand, the white light covering his figure shattered in an instant like a layer of fragile glass.

Her long silver hair fluttered in the sudden sea breeze, and her white skirt swayed rhythmically.

Yorktown's figure was revealed, with a blue collar around her neck, black silk fabric on the inside of her white skirt, her legs wrapped in black stockings, and leg rings on her thighs.

She held the blue rose in her hand, and her lake blue eyes were like sapphires, and seemed to reflect the color of the blue rose.

The huge flight deck was separated on both sides of the body, and there seemed to be a pair of wings behind it that were about to spread out and fly high.

She just floated in the air, like a goddess, or like... an eagle that broke free from its shackles and regained its freedom.

Blue petals fluttered down around her, and the murderous aura on the battlefield seemed to be blown away with her appearance. Even the Purifier stopped attacking for a moment and kept some distance.

York City's eyes finally focused on Yang Sikang. She landed on the deck and said with a smile:

"The second ship of the Essex class, the Fighting-Lady Yorktown, comes to your side in this manner. It is a wonderful experience that there is a day of light after darkness. Commander, let us move forward into the future together."

Yorktown seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to look into the distance.

A bald eagle was circling in the sky. She smiled slightly, waved at someone, and then looked at Yang Sikang again.

In that direction, although Enterprise's face remained calm, her body was trembling slightly.

He pressed down the brim of his hat, and the Grim Reaper, who was acting as a reconnaissance plane in the sky, flapped his wings and flew towards the USS San Diego.

"This, this doesn't make sense! How could such a thing happen?!"

The Purifier muttered quietly, the hesitation in his eyes clearly evident.

She was completely unable to comprehend the reason for the situation before her, just as she did not understand why the calculations of the natural algorithm system suddenly changed so drastically before she set out.

The York in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar, and she was keenly aware of the uniqueness of the York in front of her at this moment.

"Your instincts are right."

Yang Sikang's voice fell into her ears, and the Purifier realized that Yang Sikang was communicating using the channel that she had invaded last time, that is, he was talking to her.

"I can't perfectly replicate that blue rose, but even for the same ship girl, not every individual is the same, right?"

"Who...are you?!"

"Just a commander who is unwilling to give up."

Yang Sikang cut off communications, and at the same time, the newly arrived Yorktown had already had a huge impact on the battlefield.

The aura of this ship girl who suddenly appeared on the battlefield and her conspicuous flight deck were certainly shocking, but what excited others even more was her brief self-introduction.

Yorktown, the lead ship of the Yorktown class and the sister of the Grey Ghost 'Enterprise'.

This ship girl has not appeared in this world for many years. Since the sinking of her original ship, no commander has been able to build the Yorktown.

And now, York City not only reappeared in this world, but also came to the battlefield in a more powerful and beautiful posture.

This is a huge psychological confidence boost for both the ship girls and the commanders who are fighting.

The carrier-based aircraft took off from the flight deck of Yorktown and integrated into the joint attack with others very smoothly.

The pressure on Yang Sikang's fleet, which had been in a tough battle, was suddenly reduced, and the offensive of others seemed to become more fierce.

But the biggest change occurred in the relatively rear area. An aircraft carrier that was supposed to be in charge of the command arrived without surprise, and continuously used carrier-based aircraft to shoot down the Siren's carrier-based aircraft and sink those human-shaped sirens.

"No matter which one it is, Enterprise is so eager to fight. Haha, I finally got the commander's help, so I can't lose to Enterprise."

As if responding to the unstoppable enterprise, Yorktown's offensive became even more fierce again.

Yang Sikang leaned against the construction machine, holding his stomach with one hand and grinning, watching the situation on the battlefield where it was rapidly turning around.

Yorktown did not leave the deck, and the Purifier did not give up attacking Yang Sikang.

Although she didn't know what was going on, she was very clear that the culprit was Yang Sikang.

This situation, which even exceeded the predictions of the natural algorithm system, made her lose her composure for a rare time, and she attacked with extra seriousness.

It’s a pity that Yorktown is standing between the Purifier and Yang Sikang. The carrier-based aircraft can always block the attack just right and interfere with the Purifier’s attack accuracy.

The Purifiers naturally knew that the situation on the battlefield had changed.

But she had no other choice. Yang Sikang was very aggressive now. The ship girls and commanders seemed to be crazy, making it difficult for her to resist.

Although there are a large number of humanoid sirens, they are not as nearly endless as ordinary mass-produced ones.

Soon the losses became too great, and although the Purifiers gnashed their teeth, they could only flee in embarrassment.

The Purifiers were repelled once again, but the people involved in this battle were not paying attention to repelling the Purifiers at all.

Yorktown gracefully put away his ship uniform, turned around and looked at Yang Sikang with a smile on his face.

"Give me light, save my commander. Haha, from now on, I'll ask for your guidance. Maybe it will cause you trouble, please forgive me for that~"

Yang Sikang smiled and propped himself up, responding as gracefully and politely as possible:

"Welcome back to the battlefield, York."

Yang Sikang's ship girls returned to the command ship one after another. Everyone gathered around enthusiastically and greeted Yorktown.

Yang Sikang made an excuse to return to the bridge, but as soon as he came in, he threw himself forward and almost fell to the ground.

A pair of hands gently held him up. Yang Sikang turned his head and smiled:

"Thanks, Javelin."

"Commander, your body..."

"It's okay. I was just shaken by the aftermath of the attack. I feel a little nauseous. I'll be fine after resting for a while."

With the help of Javelin, Yang Sikang turned around and sat down in his seat. Only then did he see Belfast, who looked worried, standing behind Javelin.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Our plan was very successful, so we should be happy now, right?"

"Master, this is too dangerous no matter what. The attack just now..."

"The danger is worth it."

Yang Sikang shook his head, looked through the bridge to the deck, and grinned:

“Look, here comes the enterprise.”

Chapter 219 Seeing Through the Brilliance of Yang Sikang’s Plan

The Purifiers and the invading Siren fleet were repelled, and the fleet at the home port soon set out on its return journey.

Although there were no casualties in this battle, the discussion was more heated than any previous battle because of the appearance of Yorktown.

One of the ships that sank in the battle with the Sirens, the Yorktown, the lead ship of the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier.

This ship girl is very popular in White Eagle, but after the sinking of the Yorktown in the original family, no one can build this ship girl anymore.

Yorktown and Hornet became a thing of the past, but the name of Yorktown class did not fade away. Instead, it became more and more famous because of the outstanding performance of the company called "Gray Ghost".

To this day, there are almost no new commanders who don’t know the name of Yorktown, but no one expected to build this ship.

And Yang Sikang succeeded.

Although the image of this York City is very different from that of York City in past records, his unique temperament and the company's response are enough to shatter all discussions.

After many years, the city of York, which could not be rebuilt, reappeared here in a different form and announced its return on the battlefield.

Not only that, York City's powerful strength is also one of the core factors that make others talk about her reappearance.

They did not know that the Yorktown that appeared now actually used the Essex-class ship equipment and returned as the second ship of the Essex-class.

But this did not prevent them from clearly seeing the power of York City.

The elegant, beautiful, gentle and powerful Fighting-lady easily conquered the hearts of everyone present.

In the lower cabin of Yang Sikang's command ship, in a room originally used to temporarily store special construction machines, Qiye was sitting on the sofa restlessly, frequently looking towards the door of the room.

Death stood on her shoulder and preened his feathers with his beak, like an ordinary eagle.

Although she is not a member of the original family, the company is still a company no matter how it changes. The differences between individuals cannot change their essence, and no company can remain indifferent when seeing York City return.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, haha. At times like this, I should probably say long time no see, Enterprise."

The door was opened, and Yorktown, with his ship suit put away, slowly walked into the room.

Enterprise stood up subconsciously, ready to move forward but suddenly stopped.

After hesitating for a long time, she was about to sit down, but Yorktown came up to her and held her hand.

“No matter who you are as an individual, you are still a company.”

Enterprise took a breath, forced a smile, and spoke with a trembling voice:

"elder sister."

"Thank you for your hard work, Enterprise."

Enterprise shook his head and said helplessly:

"No, I am just responsible for managing a home port. The one who is really working hard should be me, the one in the family."

"It's the same in any company. Although you are different individuals, your personalities are the same. The same goes for the child and you. It's not good to always force yourself."

The meeting between Enterprise and Yorktown was unusually calm.

On the deck outside the room, the maids were handling the follow-up work.

Bringing special construction machines on board is extremely dangerous, especially since the ship had been attacked by Purifiers before.

Although most of the attack was successfully converted into energy to support the construction of Yorktown, some overflow still caused damage to the command ship.

The severity of these damages needs to be analyzed and judged immediately, and then the parts that need to be repaired should be dealt with.
