Azur Lane: The Azure Life of the Tragic Admiral

"It's still early. As long as I'm still in the port area, they won't be able to do anything good to me. And I've already thought about it. When you and Renown Counterattack return from Donghuang, that will be the time for my next construction."

Having said this, Yang Sikang stretched his waist.

"Heh, I was only planning to talk about my past, but I didn't expect to say so much. It's getting late, I should go to bed."

Yang Sikang turned over and extended his hand to Belfast.

The head maid placed her hand on his palm, used the force to stand up, and suddenly asked:

"Master, are you still planning to only build the Royal Navy's ship this time?"

"You Royal Fleet Girls are more familiar with each other, right? There are still many people in the Maid Team. Besides, the Fleet Girls of other factions have not arrived yet."

Yang Sikang looked into Belfast's eyes and smiled slightly:

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until everyone gets used to it and thinks that I can only build Royal Navy ships, and then give them a big surprise?"

After a pause, Yang Sikang turned his head and looked towards the construction room. The smile on his face gradually turned into a sneer:

"Besides, if I don't deal with those people, how can I feel at ease building the White Eagle and other camps' ship girls?"

Chapter 52: First Visit to Donghuang

The next morning, Yang Sikang went to find Lexington and the others.

A few days later, the time for the escort mission was finalized and the list of participating personnel was finally finalized.

Because before this, Yang Sikang had asked Belfast and others to greet some of the commanders based on what he had learned, so he didn't spend any special time on the rest.

Counterattack was obviously very interested in his first escort commission and went to the sea shooting range in the port area to practice artillery fire for several days.

Her reputation is similar to Belfast's attitude. She is more concerned about Yang Sikang's safety than the escort commission.

After some assurances, and the persuasion of Javelin and Belfast, Reputation finally felt at ease.

The things that had been agreed upon were gradually prepared in the next few days, and Yang Sikang finally got permission to get the ship that Lexington and the others had requested.

Two mass-produced destroyers could easily fit into the escort team, but they were actually used to carry their belongings.

Perhaps to compensate for the attack, this matter was handled with exceptional ease.

Taking advantage of the time before departure, Yang Sikang took a few people to go shopping from time to time and buy some things they might need. During this time, he also found opportunities to deliver the things that were to be loaded onto the ship.

But what no one knew was that there were actually other things installed in the ship's space of Belfast and the other three.

The night before departure, Yang Sikang and Belfast came to the office on the second floor together.

But this time it was not a casual chat. Yang Sikang took out a prepared folder and solemnly handed it to Belfast.

"Here is the information I know, as well as the portrait I drew. You can take your time to read it while you are on the way. After all, I don't know who you will actually meet when you get there. The gifts are already prepared and are in the garage. You can take them away before you leave."

"Master, can you build the Donghuang ship girl?"

Yang Sikang looked at Belfast strangely and answered honestly:

"I don't know. I haven't tried it. But I think it should be possible. Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"I want to ask if there is any ship girl you particularly like in Donghuang. If there is, I can take this opportunity to say hello to her."

Yang Sikang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing:

"I don't have any special ideas, but come to think of it, there are people who want to remind you."

Yang Sikang raised his chin as he spoke. Belfast opened the folder and took out a piece of paper from the first page. There were several portraits drawn on it and their names written on it.

"If you meet Zhenhai this time, you must be careful. Miss Zhenhai is very smart and can be easily fooled if you are not careful. And the one in the second row, Fushun. If you find her, especially if you find her around the ship you are on, find someone to capture her immediately. Zhenhai, Yixian or Anshan will do. Don't let her play tricks on you."

After thinking for a while, Yang Sikang added:

"But if you meet Zhenhai, you may not meet the others above."

Belfast looked closely at Zhenhai's portrait. Judging from the portrait alone, she looked like a gentle woman.

"It seems that this Miss Zhenhai is not a simple person."

"You always have to be careful when dealing with smart people. It's never wrong to be cautious. But how to deal with them specifically is up to you to adapt to the situation."

"Please rest assured, Master."

The escort process is a boring thing, but we cannot let our guard down.

The voyage lasted for a month. Although the ship passed through many port defense areas, the ocean voyage still could not avoid fighting with the Sirens.

Fortunately, these routes were confirmed and discussed in advance and cleared recently.

Most of the Sirens encountered were scattered mass-produced ones, and there were only two or three humanoid Sirens like Explorers.

After more than a month of sailing, the fleet finally arrived near the port of Donghuang.

After arriving in Donghuang, the escort mission was taken over by the Donghuang Navy, and the ship girls of the escort fleet were able to return to the ship for a short rest at this time.

Belfast noticed that the situation between the ship girls and the navy on the Donghuang side seemed different from the tense atmosphere on the White Eagle side. It was relatively harmonious here. Many ordinary people could be seen coming and going at the port, but the ones patrolling were still the ship girls.

I don’t know why, but the majority of the ship girls on Donghuang’s side are White Eagle and Royal.

She had already finished reading the document given to her by Yang Sikang before setting off, but she did not see any of the Donghuang ship girls mentioned above in the patrol team.

"As the master said, there is something strange about Donghuang."

Generally speaking, it is not that it is not possible to build ship girls from other countries, but due to various factors, most of the ship girls built are from one's own country.

However, there were obviously ship girls from different countries on the Donghuang side, while Donghuang’s ship girls did not appear at the port at all.

Belfast couldn't help but think of the content that Yang Sikang highlighted in the intelligence in the folder. The word "mysterious" was mentioned many times in the evaluation of Donghuang by White Eagle and Royal. She was a little confused when she read it at that time, but now she understands it.

She looked at an inconspicuous building in the harbor. From the window over there, she should be able to see the situation inside the harbor very well, right?

Belfast saw the staff on the side who were about to come up to stop them from entering the inner unloading area. She called Reputation and Counterattack and jumped off the boat. Then she greeted them politely and gracefully, and then said:

"Hello, these two destroyers are loaded with our cargo and need to be unloaded inside. If you need to inspect, feel free to do so. Can you let us in?"

The staff member obviously did not expect that someone would use a destroyer to load cargo, but he had no say in the matter. He could only ask his superiors first, and then got a reply allowing it.

Unlike the cargo ships that need to enter the inner unloading area, the escort fleet's ship girls have to go to the port dock located on the outer periphery.

As a temporary change of route, this voyage was different from previous ones, but the ship girls soon relaxed again.

Donghuang took practical actions to let them know what it means to feel at home.

In just half a day, the White Eagle ship girls relaxed in the port area, and because many other White Eagle ship girls could be seen near the port, the atmosphere became quite good.

At the same time, in the office in the harbor, a black-haired woman looked up in surprise at the man in front of her who had just finished reporting.

"You mean, the Royal Navy shipgirl was spotted in the White Eagle's escort fleet?"

"Yes."

The soldier who came to report had beads of sweat on his forehead and his breathing quickened, obviously he had run here quickly.

Among the White Eagle's escort fleet, three royal ship girls appeared quite unexpectedly.

Not only that, these three ship girls also left the main force with two escort destroyers and moved to the unloading side of the port.

These abnormal situations naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers in the port area, and after a brief observation they discovered something even more worrying: the leading ship girl was actually wearing a maid outfit.

The royal maids are famous, and maid outfits are like their symbol.

Belfast's temperament is also one of the best in the maid team. Just by looking at her from a distance, you can sense that this maid is extraordinary.

More importantly, two other ship girls who seemed to be carrying swords were guarding her on both sides.

This combination attracted the attention of the people below, which led to the current scene.

The woman behind the desk thought for a moment and nodded:

"Please ask someone to greet them and ask what they are here for. I will be there in a moment, please don't neglect the guests."

"Yes!"

The soldiers left quickly. The black-haired woman frowned slightly, stood up, walked to the window and opened the curtains a little.

From this angle, the location of the port can be seen, but the three royal ship girls mentioned in the report are not in that direction.

If they were on the other side of the unloading area, she might not be able to see the other party's position, but the destroyer docked at the port but not unloading could see a glimpse of it.

"It is indeed a mass-produced destroyer of the White Eagle. How come it is with the Royal Navy ship girl?"

White Eagle has a good relationship with the Royal Family, but even if the departure port is temporarily changed, it is only a change within the waters within White Eagle's territory, and does not require the Royal Family's help.

What's more, even if a royal ship girl has business to go with her and comes along with the escort fleet, she should have been notified in advance.

The mass-produced model used should also be the royal family's own.

The woman turned around and sat in front of the computer, quickly entering keywords on the keyboard to search for information in the database, and soon several scattered messages appeared on the screen.

Most of them were insignificant stuff, but there were two pieces of information mixed in that caught her attention.

"A commander who built a royal ship girl appeared in the White Eagle port area?"

The two pieces of news were self-contradictory and their contents contained many conflicts. She could tell at a glance that both pieces of news were exaggerated by tabloids to attract attention.

In terms of credibility, both sides are about the same, all of them come from some second-rate channels that are not up to standard.

However, the core content is exactly the same. It is likely that a guy who can build a royal ship girl really appeared in the port area of ​​​​White Eagle.

Donghuang is also a member of the Azur Lane camp, but compared to the more active White Eagle and Royal, Donghuang's external image makes people feel more mysterious.

But this does not mean that Donghuang is isolated from information. Mystery and closedness are two different things.

"You've come to me at this time..."

The woman realized that this matter might not be simple. Those three royal ship girls might not be here just to complete the escort mission.

But she didn't feel nervous. The other party came to her door, and on Donghuang's territory, so there was no reason to be afraid.

What's more, this might also be a chance for them to get in touch with that strange commander, and maybe even get some information from these ship girls.

She thought quickly in her mind, and before leaving, she took out her personal terminal to make a call:

"Yixian? I have encountered some unexpected situations here. Please take care of the ship girls in the port area for the time being, and ask the ship girls here not to come to the port for the time being. Yes, let them stay in the room first. No need, I can handle it."

At the same time, inside the mass-produced destroyer, Reputation and Counterattack were following Belfast to sort the things stored here into categories and affix notes that had been prepared long ago.

Following Yang Sikang's instructions, they took out the special goods stored in the ship's cargo space and mixed them with the goods originally stored in the cabin when they were about to arrive. They are now labeling these things.

Although they didn't know why they had to post the notes after being noticed, the two of them still followed the order and completed this meaningless task conscientiously.

The content on the note is in both English and Chinese, but the source of knowledge of the Kancolles is different from that of ordinary people, and they can also understand Chinese.

The contents of the goods are clearly printed on the boxes, so why do we need to put labels on the ones that are taken out later?

"After you finish posting these, you can go shopping with Reputation."

Belfast suddenly spoke up and finished sticking the last note in her hand.

After putting away the remaining paper, Belfast walked to the deck:

"By the way, remember to get off the ship from the other side. This is the commander's arrangement, leave the rest to me."

"Good~"

Counterattack responded cheerfully, and although Reputation seemed to have some doubts about this, Counterattack was happy about it.

Although they are sisters, they have different personalities and reputations when it comes to fighting back.

She was naturally more lively and active, and the atmosphere in Donghuang's port area was completely different from that in Baiying.

She had been curious about this place for a long time, so she naturally agreed after getting Belfast's permission.

As for reputation, when she heard Belfast say that this was the commander's arrangement, she accepted it.

Seeing his sister's cheerful look, Mingyu had no choice but to remind her:

"Don't forget the few people the commander asked us to keep an eye out for. Remember them if you see them."

"I know, I know. How could I forget what the commander told me? Sister, you are worrying too much~"

On the other side, Belfast walked onto the deck and stood behind the railing, his eyes fixed on the lady who was looking up at him not far away.

She had long black hair like silk, dark red eyes, and a body proportion that even surprised Belfast.

A pair of long legs wrapped in black thigh-high socks are wearing a pair of white high heels. The clothes on her body are also black and white, but she can easily control such clothes.

Belfast knew that this lady was the one that her commander had asked her to keep an eye on before she set out on this trip.
