Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1260 A hurricane descends upon Xizhou (2700 words)
Saint Martin, the shipgirl of the warship, made Royal Fortune hum and snap her fingers at Vida after hearing such a calm remark.

After receiving instructions from the Royal Wealth, Captain Vida in a lolita form sighed, straightened the big hat on his head, and then controlled the tentacles to put Akashi down.

But before Akashi could even breathe a sigh of relief, Gary took the risk and tied him up tightly with chains again.

"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living, profiteer. We have to let you experience life in the port detention room!

"When you find the commander, your sentence will end!"

Seeing the purple-haired, twin-tailed sailing ship girl with a smirk on her face, it was obvious that she was serious. Akashi fainted out of despair this time.

The small profiteers who have been to Natland can first be sure that the surrounding rainforest environment is definitely not anywhere in Natland.

She didn't even know where this place was, and who knows how long it would take for them to find the commander.

"Eh? She fainted already. I wanted to tease her more."

After patting Akashi's rain-soaked cheek, Gary risked a shrug and complained when there was no response.

"Hey~ Commander, you are such a fool. We finally got back to the port, but you ran so far before we even had time to warm up.

"Captain Vader had a hard time on this journey. Those monsters were able to enter the hurricane storm and the city-state world to chase us. Wow, it's so scary just thinking about it..."

Seeing Akashi faint, Vida sighed and complained again in worry.

Apart from accompanying Lin Lan for the New Year's Eve dinner and the time they went to the Royal Camp to kidnap, they had not seen Lin Lan many times in the port area.

He had finally been waiting for his "release from prison" in the Iron Blood Confinement Cell, but suddenly he learned that the source of the bad omen had hit his doorstep, and the commander was sent to Natlan by the Siren.

The most important thing is that a large number of nightmare fleets and monsters appeared on the sea, making the road from the port to Natlan very slow to recover even with the help of Antix.
Fortunately, Royal Fortune has a magical item that can travel across the world - the Hurricane Compass, which can control the storm to travel across space and avoid those monsters.

But unfortunately, although the hurricane compass is useful, it is not omnipotent.

Those twisted monsters, which were called Class V threat pollution sources by Ryantix in the port area, were able to detect their traces in the storm.

This made their journey full of dangers.

Even the Sail City-State World connected to the Hurricane Compass was nearly invaded by those monsters, forcing Royal Wealth to lift the storm at the most critical moment and shuttle through the gunfire.

Because of the difficulties and obstacles along the way, they had already deviated from their original route to the Donghuang temporary port area and completely lost their way.

As for why there are no battleship girls from other camps joining them?
The reason is also very simple.

Royal Fortune's Hurricane Compass has extremely demanding conditions of use.

If it is a peaceful sea area that will not be attacked, then the storm called by the hurricane compass can carry no matter how many people are on board.

But now the seas are full of nightmare fleets, and even the royal wealth cannot guarantee that they can reach Natlan safely.

If Akashi, the only one who knew the way in the harbor, hadn't insisted on asking Eldridge to go along, none of them would have been willing to let the kid accompany them on the adventure.

"At least we escaped unharmed. I don't know what the commander's condition is now."

Hearing Vida's sigh, Saint Martin said with a worried tone:

“If Akashi didn’t lie to us, the commander is currently in the southern state of Natlan, and he is accompanied by the good man Richard who removed the bad omen, an arbitrator, and five non-capital ships of the Northern Alliance.

"The Natlan Empire is currently being invaded by the Nightmare Fleet and evil cultivators controlled by Category V threats. I don't know if the commander and the others can safely reunite with the Donghuang camp."

After Saint Martin finished speaking, Jin Lu took a deep breath, and the tall black-haired lady bathed in the rain had a flash of worry in her eyes:

"No matter what, we must reunite with the commander as soon as possible. The situation in Natlan is not optimistic. Any extra strength we can get will be a boon to the commander..."

"Commander, it's going to be fine."

But before Jin Lu could finish his words, he was interrupted by a childish loli voice.

Eldridge, who had hardly spoken during the whole journey, suddenly spoke with a firm tone at this time, causing several sailing ship girls to look puzzled. They had just seen the strength of Eldridge, and they also knew that after the transformation of Eldridge's ship equipment, its strength in all aspects could be ranked among the best among all destroyers in the port area.

But can Eldridge really defeat those terrifying Category V threat monsters and the vast nightmare fleet head-on without a battleship companion to accompany the commander?
"As long as we can get to the commander, the battleship and companions will be there."

The little loli, the blonde destroyer White Eagle, spoke haltingly in the rain, and seemed not quite used to speaking so many words at once.

But after listening to Eldridge's speech, Royal Wealth scratched his head and asked Golden Deer in even greater confusion:
"Why do I understand every word she says, but not when they are put together?"

"I don't really understand...but I think this kid must have brought some secret weapons from the Xinghai base?"

Jin Lu guessed and finished speaking, but Eldridge shook his head repeatedly:
"No, the weapon is a new one..."

"Oh, so what you mean is that as long as we can bring you to the commander, we can protect him. Leave it to our Hurricane Fleet!"

The impatient Royal Fortune was too lazy to dwell on this topic and simply asked Eldridge casually.

This time, Eldridge finally nodded, as if to affirm Royal Fortune's words.

Then, Royal Wealth took out a leather world map and asked Golden Deer in the storm with extremely low visibility:
"Let me see the route the commander and his men are on... Donghuang, hey, Jinlu, if I remember correctly, Donghuang and the Northern Alliance should be the camp with the fewest people, right?"

"Wouldn't it be better for the companions from Donghuang and the Northern Alliance to at least not mention it first? Didn't you notice that you were holding the map upside down?"

Jin Lu's slightly helpless words made Royal Fortune's expression freeze. He smiled awkwardly and turned the map in his hand over.

"It seems that the commander has a long way to go to Dongzhou where the Donghuang temporary port is located.
"If our route is not seriously deviated, we may be able to land in Natlan smoothly."

The sailing pirate girl gestured at the route map on the map for a long time. Just as she finished speaking in an uncertain tone, Saint Martin frowned and asked:

"So why don't you use your hurricane compass to get your bearings?"

"It seems that my treasure has lost its function after being touched by that profiteer. Not only is the needle spinning around, but I can't even control the storm!"

Royal Fortune said this angrily, while groping for the old, broken brass compass from her white and red tattered skirt, and said with great distress:
"Ah~ This is a token of love that witnessed my romantic first encounter with the Commander on Halloween. If it can't be repaired, I will feed that profiteer to sharks..."

"and many more!!!"

But the recollection of the royal wealth was interrupted halfway by the incredible and simultaneous voices of Golden Deer, Vida, St. Martin and Gary Adventure.

"You guy, if the hurricane compass fails, won't we be trapped here?!"

The hot-tempered Gary took the risk of striding forward and grabbing Royal Fortune by the collar, asking angrily.

"Ah! Yes! So what should we do?!"

Seeing Royal Fortune, who was grabbed by the collar and only showed a panic expression at this moment, more than a few ship girls were completely dumbfounded. Even Eldridge couldn't help but sigh for this unreliable and slow pirate.

Why didn't Royal Fortune tell us about such an important matter earlier?!
But before the sailing ship girls could criticize the royal wealth, suddenly, accompanied by several sounds of breaking through the air, several unfamiliar voices of quarreling and talking came through the storm and thunder:

"I just saw with my own eyes that there was a strange light in this strange storm. There must be natural treasures or ancient secrets appearing in the world. Do you want to take advantage of it all?"

"Old Monster Rong, get out of here! This great opportunity belongs to me alone!"

“Do you think you can rest easy with the protection of the Blue God Cult? This is a desolate place, no one can save you. I will take this opportunity to sacrifice your blood to my newly acquired spiritual weapon!”

As the argument between the two voices became more intense, soon, several sailing ship girls on the deck saw a corner of the storm's edge being torn apart.

Two figures in the sky, both dressed in ancient robes, moved at high speed. With a wave of their hands, they controlled the mysterious skills that emitted a shining luster and seemed to draw the power of heaven and earth to attack each other fiercely.

"Hey, did everyone hear that? Spiritual weapon, Natlan spiritual weapon!
"I, the great Captain of the Royal Fortune, have finally overcome numerous dangers and brought you to Natlan. I will be back with the Commander soon!"

Royal Wealth pushed Gary's adventurous hand away, looked up at the two extreme fighters who were fighting in the air, opened his arms, bathed in the rain, and shouted excitedly.

Their Hurricane Fleet finally arrived safely at the commander's country!
