Commander, you smell so good.

"Comrades, please wait a moment!"

Yixian and the Soviet ally quickly stood up, trying to stop them from calming down and getting carried away, but it was too late now.

"I, Bismarck, as the Chief Flag Officer and Chancellor of the Iron Principality, officially declare! I will secede from the third-party military alliance, the Azure Lane, and officially join the Red Axis!"

"Vittorio Veneto, flagship and leader of the Sardinian Empire Navy, hereby officially announces his departure from the third-party military alliance organization, Azur Lane, and formally joins the Red Axis!"

"The First Flagship and Cardinal of the Iris Theocracy, Richelieu, has also announced his official departure from the third-party military alliance, Azure Lane, and his official joining of the Red Axis."

"Akagi, the third flagship of the Sakura Empire and the First Fleet of the Invincible Fleet, has announced! We have officially separated from the third-party military alliance organization, the Azure Lane, and officially joined the Red Axis. Gentlemen, begin!!!"

Following Bismarck's initial announcement, Veneto, Richelieu, and Akagi followed suit, announcing their departure from the Azur Lane and establishing the Red Axis organization.

Saratoga and Elizabeth opened their eyes wide in a daze, especially Saratoga. Although she had expected that this meeting would end in a bad mood, who knew that it would turn out like this due to a provocation.

Shift! She really didn't expect the opponent to be so serious. This was a bad shot.

The expression on his face was a little embarrassed, but Saratoga still kept his mind spinning at high speed, trying to find a way to solve this problem.

But she couldn't, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't think of it, because the matter was already done, it was a fait accompli, and there was no way to save it.

The Soviet Alliance frowned and looked at Saratoga and Elizabeth. She really didn't know what the two were thinking. If she gave them a reason that was just enough to split up, she didn't believe that they would not know the information about the Three Musketeers and the Sakura Empire.

Can you beat him? No, okay?

As for Donghuang, Yixian couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that a war was about to start. Zhenhai had a gloomy face and no one knew what he was thinking.

There is no point in persuading him now. Words spoken are like water spilled, and it is impossible to take them back.

Akagi was a little excited. He had been looking forward to something like this for a long time. As the saying goes, if there are no military achievements, how can he present the results of the battle to the commander?

There was no expression on Kaga's face, but there was a fierce and sharp glint in her blue eyes. To her, the law of the jungle prevails and the winner is king.

King George V, Rossia and others looked unusual, but they didn't know what to say. Littorio and Jean Bart raised frightening smiles, and Enterprise's expression was a little lost.

This endless war will surely drag on for a longer and more prolonged period of time...

After the meeting, the world's pattern began to change quietly, and orderly chaos emerged.

The next day, Sangvishes, Sardinia, Iris, and Sakura Empire officially announced to the world that the world's third largest military camp had left the Azur Lane organization and jointly established a fourth-party military joint structure, the Red Axis.

The situation was changing rapidly, and for a moment the atmosphere even became a little bleak and magical, especially in human society. After receiving this reasonable and unexpected event, they also began to become confused, with expectation and panic to see who would be the winner.

Whoever wins will have control of the sea, and will be allowed to open wider trade routes.

So many people are secretly waiting for this update.

As for Jiang Zheng, the protagonist of the topic that started this war, he came to Tianyan Island with Musashi and others without knowing anything.

Chapter 314 Heading to Tianyan Island

Tianyan Island is an outlying island consisting of a main island and six small islands connected to each other. This creation was not formed naturally, but was artificially built by the ship girl under the order of Manchu.

Originally there was only one main island, and the other six sub-islands were artificially built. The six islands surrounded the main island, which means six paths protecting one, and the tree they protected was the Great Sakura Sacred Tree.

The Great Sakura Sacred Tree is located on this outlying island outside the main island of Shigekura. It is said to be a holy place that gathers the prayers and beliefs of the Shigekura people. It is an ideal sanctuary and a place for Shinano people to sleep and cultivate themselves.

At the same time, on this outlying island, in the Great Sakura Sacred Tree, is enshrined the treasure of the Sakura Empire, a sacred stone called 'Hairuo', which means wisdom, tolerance, and the sea that embraces all rivers.

It is said that through a ceremony called the Tenyu Kaido Festival, the chief priest offers the collected faith as a sacrifice, uses [Hairaku] as a catalyst, and prays sincerely to the sea god, a "ship" recorded only in legends can be created.

As to whether it is true, we can only say that we have our own experience, but the birth of Shinano is unquestionable and it really exists. As for why it became like this, it is also the reason why Jiang Zheng was brought here by Musashi.

"Musashi, something doesn't sound right to me. Can this so-called faith be collected? I'm not well-educated, so please don't lie to me. Is this really not some kind of exchange ceremony?"

"Hey, Commander, what Lord Musashi said must be true. Even though I've read a lot of books, I still believe it because Lord Shinano really exists!"

Compared to Jiang Zheng who was full of doubts, Xiang, who was holding a baseball in his hand, looked full of belief. As a member of the Sakura Empire, he had seen how powerful the ship could be awakened, so he was naturally very confident because Shinano existed.

But compared to the Sea Ruo Divine Stone, Xiang believed in Jiang Zheng more, because she had never seen the Sea Ruo Divine Stone manifest itself, but she knew about the commander's manifestation and had seen it with her own eyes.

Word of mouth spread that Xiang had a very good impression of Commander Jiang Zheng and even wanted to get close to him.

After all, Noshiro, who was the escort fleet, was gone, so Xiang naturally seized the opportunity to contact him. It was a pity that she could only communicate with him temporarily with the help of a communicator because she had to take on the responsibility of escort.

"Hehe~, stupid... Commander, even if it's Yukikaze-sama, I know that! So Yukikaze-sama is the smartest このdioだ!"

Even Xuefeng, who was specifically called over by Jiang Zheng, did not hesitate to express her contempt for Jiang Zheng. After all, if someone as smart as her, Lady Xuefeng, knew it, then the commander should know it too!

"Haha~, actually I've never seen it either, but that's why I brought you away from the Sakura Empire and brought you to Tianyan Island, hoping you could help Shinano."

On the mass-produced fleet, Musashi sat on the portable seat on the deck, stroked Jiang Zheng's head, and spoke with a smile. He looked down at him with a bit of doting in his eyes, and gave him the intimate treatment of a chest pillow.

Of course, it is impossible that there are only two ship girls sailing in this fleet. In addition to Hibiki, there are Yukikaze and Sakurano in the vanguard, and the main forces in the back row are Ryuho and Suruga.

As the flagship of this fleet, Musashi naturally does not have to take on the escort mission. Moreover, she is in a high position and possesses power that cannot be matched by countless ships. Naturally, she does not need to sail. Instead, she stays on the mass-produced ship developed by the Sakura Empire and talks with Jiang Zheng about the information she knows, Tianyan Island, the Divine Stone and Shinano.

However, what she didn't say was that this time when Musashi came out, she knew that the Azur Lane was likely to be divided, but she didn't want Jiang Zheng to know about this, even if it was a little later, after all, he was a kind-hearted person.

While Musashi and Jiang Zheng were having an intimate contact, Longfeng was flying reconnaissance planes on both sides to prevent any Siren fleet or fleet from other camps from attacking.

She was just letting it fly, but she was trying to do two things at the same time. Seeing Musashi and Jiang Zheng being overly intimate, her pretty face turned red.

After all, she could see clearly with the help of the carrier-based aircraft. Lady Musashi's plump legs were wrapped around the commander's body, and the large white area and the balls on her chest were pressed against his chest, as if she wanted to eat him.

Moreover, the two faces were very close to each other. Musashi's doting gaze and physical contact, coupled with her tall and attractive figure, made her look like a maternal elder sister in a comic book, exuding an alluring aura, trying to seduce a cute young person.

Unconsciously putting herself in Musashi's position, Long Feng's face became more and more red with embarrassment. She thought that this was a very bad thing to do, but she couldn't help but fantasize.

As for Suruga, he maintained a calm and composed expression on the surface, but he was actually very panicked inside, and was complaining in his heart about Musashi's bold behavior towards Jiang Zheng.

"Wow wow wow! How dare you, Musashi-sama! Hands, hands, hands! It's in! So you can actually use your hands like this?"

He knew in his heart that he shouldn't look, but Suruga couldn't help but look a few more times. As the saying goes, if you look twice more, you will explode, and if you look three more times, you will melt. Then he saw the deep contact between the two.

After watching Musashi's cooking skills throughout the process and seeing her licking the milk tea with satisfaction, Suruga felt his head buzzing.

Is this something she can watch for free? It's really amazing, and I learned something new.

Fortunately, after a while, everyone pretended not to see it and had a relaxed expression on their faces, because Tianyan Island was about to arrive.

After stopping the boat and stepping onto the port pier of Tianyan Island, Jiang Zheng seemed to feel that someone was calling him for some reason, but he couldn't hear it clearly, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it clearly.

Following the footsteps of Musashi and others, Jiang Zheng saw what the sacred tree of the heavy cherry blossoms that Musashi mentioned was.

It was a huge tree that reached the sky, surrounded by blooming cherry blossoms, and under this sacred tree, the shrine was built.

After crossing the Torii gate and walking up the stairs, you will be greeted by a large shrine that is as large as the one in Nagato. It is magnificent, ancient and profound, as if this is the most suitable place to live for a long time, a holy place for healing.

Before entering the shrine, Jiang Zheng began to hear the voice calling him little by little. The gentle yet somewhat mournful voice belonged to none other than Shinano.

Just when he was about to ask something, Jiang Zheng suddenly lost consciousness and fell down out of control, but was caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Jiu Nio.

"Brother-in-law! Sister... Commander! Lord Musashi! What's wrong with the commander?"

As soon as he said the familiar name, Jiu Niang knew that he had called it out, and quickly changed his words, but Long Feng Junhe and the others still knew it, and there was a bit of shock in their eyes.

Noshiro! How could they act so quickly?! A sneak peek, huh?!

Musashi was thinking about something else. He turned his head to look at the shrine and said calmly:

"Don't worry, it should be Shinano who is inviting the commander to talk."

Chapter 315: Shinano's Apology

"I'm sorry for bringing you into my dream again... I apologize for this."

When Jiang Zheng came to his senses and opened his eyes, what he saw was not the shrine under the sacred tree, but Shinano's gentle face, which was confused and apologetic. The self-blaming expression made him feel guilty. Why would such a beauty show such a distressing expression?

But this made Jiang Zheng a little confused. He stretched his head slightly to the right and could see the ceiling with the lamp hanging on it, and feel the hardness behind it.

After looking around, Jiang Zheng finally believed that Shinano was looking at him while lying on all fours. He could even feel her plump breasts on his chest, which were so big that he couldn't even hold them with one hand. Her furry white tail was curled around his thighs, and the tip of the tail was tapping him bit by bit.

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Zheng reached out and pinched her face, which was as smooth and soft as a peeled egg, and only let go after she said it hurt.

"So, you dragged me in here just to push me down, Shinano?"

The big white fox stared at him in a daze, as if she didn't understand what he was saying. Only after she looked at her current posture did her face turn lightly red. She changed from pushing him down to sitting on his lower abdomen. The collar of her kimono drooped, revealing her smooth and round shoulders, which was even more seductive.

"I'm sorry...it's my fault."

"Indeed, it's your fault, Shinano. Not only did you drag me into the dream, but you also seduced me in this way. You are truly guilty of a heinous crime, Shinano. And..."

"An apology must be made with sincerity, so you understand, right?"

Jiang Zheng, after initially feeling reluctant to bully a stupid and confused ship girl like Shinano, is now very happy and has a joyful expression on his face.

She is like a blank sheet of paper, always living in dreams and knowing little about what is happening outside. In this case, she needs to be properly disciplined.

And she was not like the petite destroyer girls, so naturally she did not feel any guilt. Instead, she felt a sense of excitement and accomplishment in dyeing the white paper with her own color.

"Is that so? It seems so. Then... do you need me to provide you with a lap pillow?"

Shinano raised her hand to touch the hair beside her cheek. With an inexplicably dazed look in her eyes, she didn't know how seductive and attractive she was, which made Jiang Zheng want only Boki.

Wow! It's so tempting! Shinano, you are so beautiful!

"You don't really need a knee pillow anymore. Let's try something different this time. I want to touch your animal ears, how about that?"

"Ears, ears? Okay then."

Shinano walked away from him, then sat down on her knees, lowered her head slightly, and let Jiang Zheng stroke her ears, but she regretted it the next moment.

The slightly rough hand was pressed on her fox ears, kneading them slowly and carefully. A wonderful feeling came from the top of her head. For a moment, a pink blush crept up her face, making her shy. She couldn't help but speak.

"My ears are a little..., um..."

Finally, Shinano whimpered like a little fox, causing Jiang Zheng to stop ravaging her gently. There was no other way, Shinano was too tempting. Who wouldn't like this cute and confused big fox?

After a good time, Jiang Zheng was enjoying Shinano's lap pillow. After all, he was interrupted from touching the beast's ears, so it didn't count if it was interrupted. So he went back to enjoying the lap pillow and hugging the fox's tail. The tail was his request.

"I have never seen anyone as bold as you..."

With his tail being played with and his head resting on his thigh, the confused and cute big fox rarely showed a trace of resentment, but even so, the big white fox still allowed his request to itself, and no one knew why.

"Now that you've seen it, you have to tell me what it was that pulled me into this dream, right? The last time you pulled me in in Sakura Empire, it was accidental. Could it be that this time is also accidental?"

"Well...it wasn't accidental, it was intentional."

"Ok?"

"To be precise, it's my power that's starting to get out of control..."

After Shinano's explanation, Jiang Zheng finally understood why he was suddenly pulled in this time. Anyway, he didn't know why, but Shinano's power began to slowly dissipate, but the dissipated power floated out, causing everyone who came into contact with it to be pulled into the dream.

As for why he was the only one pulled into the dream and the other ship girls were not there, the reason was that the power of the floating feet was not enough to pull the ship girls in, and he was the only human in the territory where the Sakura Empire ship girls lived.

For a moment, Jiang Zheng couldn't hold it in any longer. Was he the only one with the weakest strength? It seemed to be true.

Seeing Jiang Zheng's lost expression, Shinano actually smiled, which was very rare. After all, in that long sleep, all she dreamed of were many battles, spent in fighting with the Sirens. The dream lasted so long that when she woke up, all she saw was the cold food on the table, the sleeping Huayue, and the north wind waving the katana outside the courtyard day after day.

Now that he saw something that made him happy, he naturally smiled with joy from the bottom of his heart and let out a soft laugh.

"However, I still don't know how you came to Sakura City, and where you are now."

Jiang Zheng told her what happened at the beginning, even telling her about Musashi. When Musashi was mentioned, Shinano's eyes lit up with a hint of memories, because she knew about Musashi's arrival, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect it to be like this, but you awakened Musashi? After all, although I knew of her existence, I had never seen her before you came to Sakura Empire. I guess she was born into this world because of you."

"If I were awakened by you, I would surely gain true power and achieve dominance for the Sakura Empire. Instead of this, I have exchanged the faith of thousands of Sakura Empires for a powerless body. I can only wait with this mournful cry."

Feeling grateful for Musashi's good luck and lamenting his own bad luck, Shinano began to envy Musashi, his sister in the same number. Why was she awakened by the sacred stone instead of Jiang Zheng?

The comparison of their treatment is truly enviable.

However, Jiang Zheng tilted his head, pinched his chin, and said in an uncertain tone:

"Actually, regarding this matter, I'm currently on Tianyan Island where you're sleeping. Musashi brought me here, saying he wants to treat you, but I'm not 100% sure."

"But are you willing to accept my treatment?"

Chapter 316 Waiting and expecting

"You mean you can untie me from this soft and powerless state? Really?!"

Hearing that she could still be cured, Shinano became alert and stopped calling herself a concubine. She stared at Jiang Zheng with wide eyes.

"I'm not sure, because I haven't tried it and I don't know if it will work. After all, there is no precedent."

Jiang Zheng spread his hands, looking like he didn't know either. After all, who can know something if they haven't tried it?

"It's okay, even if the hope is slim, it's worth a try."
