Azur Lane Mobile Front

After handing the unicorn to Zhenhai and instructing him to take good care of his younger sister in the port area, Yixian returned to the battle.

Although losing a key player made the battle more difficult, the number of enemies on the sea was no longer as great as before, thanks to the unicorn's recent display of power.

Moreover, just before Rob arrived, two unexpected guests arrived in this area of ​​the sea.

"Accept divine punishment!"

From outside the port area, several shells fell from the sky and landed in the center of the Siren fleet, exploding in a spectacular display.

Chapter 81: Unexpected Reinforcements

Let's turn back time a little.

Cardinal Richelieu of the Free Iris is currently leading the light cruiser Joan of Arc toward the port of the Eastern Empire.

After a long journey, they are finally about to reach their destination.

Thinking about meeting the legendary commander, even the well-traveled Richelieu couldn't help but feel a little nervous and unconsciously gripped the flagpole tightly.

"Cardinal, the port of Donghuang is just ahead."

"Hmm...I know."

"This is..."

However, before they had gone far, a rainbow-colored light curtain spanning the entire coastline appeared in their sight.

"Lord...is this...a miracle...?"

Although the scene before her was enough to reshape the ship's worldview of the Free Iris's flagship, she had no time to linger.

Without a doubt, something must have happened in the port she was heading to, given the obvious artillery fire on the sea.

"Boost!"

"Understood!"

...

When the two arrived near the port, although they had not yet seen any ships from the Eastern Empire, Richelieu, as a member of Azur Lane, naturally knew what she should do given the large number of Sirens in front of her.

"In the name of freedom and glory, all ships in position, aux armes, marchons!"

Back to the present.

The unexpected reinforcements boosted the morale of the Donghuang side.

"This is Yixian from Donghuang. May I ask who you are?"

While eliminating the enemies at hand, Yi Xian began to shout in the public channel.

"I am the flagship of the Free Iris, Cardinal Richelieu!"

Richelieu, upon receiving Yatsen's message, did not hesitate and immediately replied.

Richelieu?

Yi Xian was a little confused. Although it was indeed a good thing to have reinforcements at this time, these reinforcements were too far away, having come from halfway around the world.

"Thank you for your support. I won't say anything more. Please come visit me in the port area after the war."

“May God bless you!”

Without much conversation, the two sides merely exchanged information about the current battle situation and their respective positions before throwing themselves into the battle to wipe out the remaining Sirens.

Soon after, Rob also arrived at the port area.

Richelieu looked up at the sky.

Three enormous humanoid machines, some trailing glowing particles, others spreading their wings, streaked across the sky like angels descending from heaven.

"This...is this the legendary...new ship equipment?"

"Cardinal, this..."

In Joan of Arc's eyes, these machines streaking across the sky had nothing to do with ships anymore. What exactly were they?

After setting Rob and Belfast down, the three members of the Enterprise team immediately plunged into the battle.

Luo Bo, on the other hand, quickly contacted Zhenhai to find out the specifics of the situation.

"Hmm...this time, I really should thank this child properly..."

Zhenhai stroked the unicorn's hair in his arms, his face full of affection.

After listening to Zhenhai's account of how the unicorn single-handedly protected the entire port area and city from the ravages of war, Rob couldn't help but hold the unicorn's little hand.

How is the child?

"She just fainted. She must have been very exhausted just now."

"Take her back to rest, I'll take care of things here."

Zhenhai nodded, gently carrying the unicorn towards the port area, afraid of waking the little girl in his arms.

"Beat them!"

The company was furious at the sirens who dared to attack its port area.

Eight dragon riders emerged from the "wings" on her back, arranged in formation, and fired deadly beams at the sirens on the sea.

As the light swept across, the sirens that were struck immediately turned into bursts of fireworks that exploded on the sea surface.

That wasn't enough; the two beam rifles in the Enterprise's hands, the railgun at its waist, and even the biphasic cannon on its abdomen, which felt rather strange to use, all fired at once.

The powerful firepower instantly cleared a large area of ​​the sea.

"Damn it, I won't lose to you!"

After glancing at the company's killing efficiency, Zuikaku pursed his lips and sheathed his greatsword.

Although it was quite satisfying to cut them down one by one, if this continued, he would be overwhelmed by that gray ghost, which wouldn't do.

A crimson beam of light swept across the sea, turning the sirens into sparks that exploded and sank to the bottom of the ocean.

"Hmph~ I won't lose to you!"

Satisfied with its victory, Zuikaku immediately turned its attention to the company after its first shot.

Seeing that the company had already pushed the battle lines far out, they hurriedly started firing on the Sirens again.

On the other side, the New Jersey and Yixian, two melee-specialized mechs, didn't have the same exaggerated firepower as the other two, so they could only hack and slash their way through one by one.

However, given that both of them can take down the Sirens one by one, their efficiency is not low.

"Speed ​​up the process, don't keep our guests waiting."

Rob was slightly taken aback when he learned that Richelieu, who was far away in Europe, had suddenly appeared near his port.

He looked at Belfast, hoping for an answer.

It should be noted that since the Iris Theocracy split, the Free Iris faction has always acted in concert with the Royal Family.

“Oh... Master, it seems you are more attractive than the royal family.”

The head maid just chuckled and joked with Rob, without saying anything explicitly.

In fact, the head maid already knew some of the news when Richelieu left the royal family.

However, the royal family never knew where the other party was headed, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, the only thing Free Iris can rely on now is the Royal Navy.

To everyone's surprise, this cardinal actually traveled across the ocean to Donghuang.

If Robb is truly willing to do something, the situation in Europe could very well change drastically.

Belfast's eyes flickered as she considered how to report this situation to Elizabeth.

"Belfast, get ready for us. We should be entertaining our guests. We can talk about this later."

Rob knew perfectly well what the little queen of the royal family was thinking by placing her head maid by her side.

Anyway, this matter can't be kept secret for long, so it's better to just be open about it and not let it affect future business.

"Joan of Arc, do you think... from now on, there will be no place for warships on this stage?"

Watching the four ships of the Robb family mow down the Sirens like grass, Richelieu simply put away his cannons.

After all, before her shells even reach the target, the target will definitely be sunk by those ships that are fighting over it, so why bother?

"I have no idea."

Like Richelieu, Joan of Arc also fell into confusion.

Chapter 82: Then, there's only one answer!

Thanks to the combined efforts of the ships, the invading Sirens in the port were quickly wiped out.

Still feeling uneasy, Robb arranged for more people to patrol the coastline several times to ensure that not a single Siren was missed.

Rob was furious that his home was almost burgled while he was away on a business trip.

He thought, "What if I had a few more machines?"

Then, he also thought about finding a Sirens base and giving them a big one.

However, he could only put all of these aside for the time being.

Now, he must first greet the guests who have come from afar—Richelio and his party.

Inside Robb's office, the host and guest were seated, and on the table were the best hospitality that Robb's side could offer—various trinkets brought from the Royal Family in Belfast.

Richelieu was looking at Rob with a complicated expression, or more precisely, at Belfast, who was standing behind Rob with his head down and eyes lowered.

I've traveled halfway around the world to Donghuang, how come I still see people from your royal family?

Rob also looked at the cardinal of the Free Iris with amusement.

It's not hard to guess what their purpose is in traveling all the way to Donghuang.

Frankly speaking, given that the other party extended a helping hand when his port was in danger, Rob could agree to any request that wasn't too unreasonable.

However, Rob felt that the other party's request was probably excessive.

"Miss Richelieu, Miss Joan of Arc, welcome to the Eastern Empire."

"The port area is short of supplies, and we really can't offer anything good to entertain you. Please forgive us."

Richelieu looked at the royal tea specially supplied to the Queen in his teacup and the various snacks made by the head lady-in-waiting on the table, and for a moment he did not know how to answer.

“Commander Luo, you are too modest. These are already very rare treasures. Miss Belfast, it’s been a long time.”

"It's been a long time, Lord Richelieu. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has entrusted me to extend her sincere greetings to you."

Rob glanced at the head maid behind him; this royal "envoy" seemed to have a hidden meaning in her words.

“Miss Richelieu, you are unaware of this. There is an old saying in Donghuang: ‘When friends come, we welcome them with fine wine.’ It is only right to offer our friends the best we can.”

"Commander Luo, I have a question that I wonder if you could answer."

After pondering for a long time, Richelieu decided to ask Robb what his relationship with the royal family was.

Before she arrived, she had received absolutely no information that the Royal Family had ever contacted this commander.

When she finally met the other person, the royal head maid was already standing beside her, looking like she was serving her master, which made Richelieu a little nervous.

"Excuse me!"

"Your Excellency, what exactly is your relationship with the royal family?"

This issue is quite important for Richelieu and for the Free Iris.

After careful consideration, she chose the Eastern Empire, mainly because she wanted to sever ties with the royal family.

She had heard rumors about how she had been working with the royal family and maintaining relations with the Papacy.

However, for the sake of her country, she forced herself to ignore those things.

But now that she's come full circle, she might as well just give up and go with the royal family.

"If we don't consider that we're both in the Azur Lane camp, then it's just a simple business transaction."

"Business dealings?"

"With the help of its master, the Royal Navy has equipped itself with the latest ship equipment."

"Ok?"
