Azur Lane Mobile Front

"Your Excellency may not be aware of this, but the technology of singularities has quite a connection with the Sirens. Ironblood has done some research in this area. If you want to solve the singularity problem, you might as well come to Ironblood."

As soon as Gneisenau finished speaking, the royals all turned to look at Rob.

After all, on the battlefield now, the company's combat power far surpasses that of the ships.

Both sides estimated, based on their own intelligence, that the company owner alone had the capability to destroy an entire fleet.

My own meager skills wouldn't last two rounds under the control of a company.

Therefore, Rob's attitude at this moment is extremely crucial. No matter which side he sides with, it can have a decisive impact on the battle.

"As I said, I only want to solve the singularity problem. But since Ironblood is here, I think we might as well lend a hand?"

Although he doesn't harbor much malice towards Ironblood, as the commander of Azur Lane, Robo naturally wouldn't side with them.

However, the Royal Navy has just gone through two battles and is suffering from severe ammunition depletion. When dealing with the Singularity, they might have to stop firing halfway through.

Now that Ironblood is a readily available conscript, Rob feels he'd be letting himself down.

"Are you serious?"

Not only the Ironbloods, but the Royal Navy's ships also thought Rob was probably drunk. He was actually trying to get the two sides, who had just opened fire, to put aside their personal grudges and work together to resolve the issue?

"Hmm? Duchess of York, Lady Warspite, does your royal family have any questions?"

"Of course, the Royal Family will never cooperate with the Ironblood, Your Excellency."

The Royals immediately declared that they had only one thought: either kill the Iron-Blooded Women on the other side, or be killed by the Iron-Blooded Women.

When Rob heard this, he was completely bewildered.

Even at this point, these guys are still obsessed with fighting the other side?

Chapter 57: The Solution

Compared to the Royal Family's unwavering decision, the Ironblood showed a degree of restraint.

Of course, their main concern was whether Rob would actually step in to help the royal family as he claimed.

Although the current state of the Royals presents an excellent opportunity for our side.

As a party with relatively weak naval power, if this opportunity is missed, the next one may be a long time coming.

However, if Robb joins the Royal Navy in attacking the Enterprise, the Ironblood fleet will have no way to deal with it.

"Sir, we need to discuss this."

In the end, Gneisenau decided to stabilize the situation first and then see how things went.

While the Royal and Ironblood factions were still locked in a standoff, a new change occurred at the distant Strange Point.

The strange point, which was originally slowly absorbing the surrounding matter, suddenly accelerated its speed.

Everyone immediately felt a visible change in the seawater beneath their feet.

Before long, the "crown" in the sky collapsed completely, and the huge ice crystals were dragged into the spherical hole as if by invisible hands.

"Oh? It's already reached this stage? Human, your time is running out."

The observers who had been watching from the sidelines immediately recognized the current state of the singularity.

Presumably to verify some data, she even specifically reminded Rob to hurry up.

Feeling the increasingly rapid current, Rob immediately realized the urgency of the situation.

"Siren, I hope your solution works."

After glancing at the observer with a sly grin, Rob immediately sent a communication to the company.

"Don't worry, human. If that singularity really does collapse, it will be a considerable problem for me as well."

"Business, let's go!"

After taking one look at the stubborn Royal Fleet, Rob had no choice but to lead his ships to solve the problem.

With that, Rob piloted his mass-produced ship toward the singularity.

"Your Excellency, I will go with you!"

To Rob's surprise, Warspite stepped forward at this moment.

"Before setting off, His Majesty instructed me to ensure Your Excellency's safety. Now that things have come to this, I will certainly not abandon you."

"Thank you, ma'am!"

Nodding heavily, Rob didn't glance at the Royal Navy and the Ironblood Fleet again, and led everyone towards the Strange Point.

"Commander, we can't advance any further!"

Feeling the pulling force in the air, the company reminded Rob.

"Then launch the attack here! Remember, once you open fire, you can't stop. I'll figure out a way to finish this off! Also, be careful!"

After giving the company a piece of advice, Rob began looking for a solution.

"Oh dear, how could I possibly lose to that gray ghost! Commander, I'm going too!"

Before Rob could even call out the system, Zuikaku greeted Rob and joined the battle.

As the group attacked, ripples appeared on the originally calm surface of the singularity.

The suction force seemed to have weakened slightly. It was unclear whether this was due to the increased effectiveness of the group's attacks or the brewing of an even larger storm.

"Brother, the unicorn... is going to fight too!"

Seeing the people fighting hard not far away, the unicorn couldn't sit still either. After telling Robo, it joined the battle.

Although she was a ship that had only recently emerged from the construction facility, her combat strength was not strong.

However, she still decided to join the fight to protect everyone.

"Hehe, even the Unicorn Girl has gone down, how can I stay here peacefully? Commander, Zhenhai has gone too."

Following closely behind was Zhenhai, who always preferred to stay in the background and offer advice.

But in the current situation, every extra bit of firepower brings a glimmer of hope.

So, she couldn't sit still any longer.

As everyone unleashed their firepower, the dire situation at the singularity became immediately apparent.

"Ha, that's really..."

Warspite looked at the shells it had fired, no longer needing to aim, because the gravity from the singularity would drag the shells directly towards it.

The situation was even worse for Zuikaku, as all of her carrier-based aircraft were disposable.

Carrier-based aircraft, which are already difficult to bomb when facing singularities, will be unable to escape gravity if they get too close.

"Ah... this is really troublesome."

Scratching his head, Zuikaku looked at the kamikaze carrier-based aircraft he had been forced to launch, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

While observing the situation at the singularity, Rob was also thinking of a countermeasure.

Looking at his remaining less than 200,000 global experience points, Rob was in a dilemma.

If he only lacked silver coins, he could simply ask the royal family for them.

Even the machines on the system's technology tree that are powerful enough to blow up the entire galaxy only cost tens of millions of resources.

However, experience points, especially global experience points, are a different matter.

Because the system is a ridiculous setting inherited from the white-haired devils, Robo can't even solve his problems by spending money.

"System, do you have any machines that can resolve the current situation?"

Left with no other choice, Rob had to turn to this treacherous system for help.

[Class VII mobile suit, GX-9900, Gundam X.]

Fortunately, the system proved quite reliable at this point, immediately providing a solution to the current situation.

"Moonlight Cannon!"

Upon hearing this answer, Rob immediately understood.

As one of the top heavy firepower units in the entire Gundam series, the Moonbeam Cannon does indeed have the ability to solve problems with a single shot.

But now the question is, who should be given this crucial shot?

As he thought about it, Rob's eyes kept scanning back and forth among the people fighting in front of him.

[Note: Now that Gundam X has been developed, the Moonlight Microwave Cannon can only fire once.]

"What kind of rip-off is this?"

The system's words immediately made Luo Bo lose his composure.

[Time is needed to accumulate energy before the organism can overcome this limitation.]

"Ok."

This reason is fairly sufficient, but of course, even if it weren't, Rob would have no choice.

The current situation is that this choice is even more important.

While Rob was still considering who to replace him with...

The singularity suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful suction force, far exceeding its previous intensity.

Visibly, the mass-produced ship that Rob was aboard was heading toward the singularity.

The air was also torn apart by this suction, creating a strong wind that made it impossible for people to stand up.

As a unicorn with relatively small size and insufficient combat experience, it was actually pulled directly by this suction force and was about to be lifted into the sky.

Fortunately, Zuikaku, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and grabbed the unicorn's hand, pulling her back.

"Everyone, retreat! It's no longer safe here!"

In fact, before Rob even gave the order, everyone had already realized what was happening.

The Enterprise swooped down from the sky, scooped up Rob, and flew backward. The ship Rob was on was too weak and no longer had enough power to escape.

"Enterprise, put me down! Your attack can't stop! Keep attacking as you move!"

Although this unexpected turn of events threw everyone into disarray, Rob still managed to stay rational.

"Grey Phantom, here!"

Below the company, Zuikaku signaled to the company to throw Rob to him so that he could lead Rob to retreat.

Enterprise glanced at the singularity behind them, lowered its altitude, handed Rob over to Zuikaku, then turned around and continued to unleash its firepower on the singularity.

Chapter 58: Cooperation

As expected, the observer's calculations were correct. Rob's own firepower, even with Warspite, was not enough to stop the collapse of the singularity.

After Zuikaku was forced to deploy its hull, it lost another firepower point that could reliably provide firepower.

To make matters worse, Unicorn and Zhenhai, due to their own limitations, cannot provide much firepower output at all.

Without sufficient firepower to suppress it, the singularity collapsed even faster than before.

In less than an hour, Rob and his men had been forced to retreat twice.

If it weren't for the fact that the Enterprise's Freedom Gundam's output was indeed powerful enough to withstand the suction and forcefully output power, the Singularity might have become something else entirely.

"Commander, I'm afraid we have to retreat!"

While launching an attack on the singularity, the company began to assess the current situation.

As the distance increases, the effectiveness of one's own weapons also decreases sharply.

Now she has to consider abandoning the plan to suppress the singularity and evacuate with everyone.

"Sir, it's time to consider retreating!"

Warspite, who was standing nearby, was also urging Rob to evacuate immediately.

"At this distance, it probably won't be safe for long either!"

Because of the howling wind, Warspite had to raise his voice to make sure Rob could hear him.

"Hold on until dark, I have a way to deal with that thing!"

Rob checked the time; there was still more than an hour until dark. If his calculations were correct, the moon would rise soon.
