Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1307: Long time no see, Soviet Alliance
Looking at the empty corridor, Princeton meta frowned slightly.

She was well aware that the mental state of the Soviet bloc was now extremely unstable.

Perhaps other Northern Alliance ship girls couldn't see it, but she was extremely certain that this was a sign of impending meta-ization.

If nothing was done, the Soviet Union would inevitably follow its old path.

Just as Princeton meta was thinking for a moment and was about to go to the Soviet Union's office to have a good chat with her, she seemed to realize something and looked at the deep night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window in the corridor.

In the night sky where heavy snow was falling, a light spot like a blue meteor was growing bigger and bigger.

At the same time, a familiar male voice rang out in her ship suit meta channel, causing her to almost cover her mouth instantly and burst into tears.

"Princeton meta, can you hear me!"

……

After separating from Princeton Meta, the Soviet Alliance took the elevator in the corridor back to his office alone.

As the flagship of the Northern Union, the Soviet Alliance's office is decorated very simply.

Apart from the birch bookshelf filled with files, a complete set of office desks and chairs, a coffee table and leather sofa for entertaining guests, there are only two potted plants brought from the port area as decorations.

It is not as luxurious as the Royal Family and Sardinia, which are embellished with precious ornaments, nor as simple and casual as the White Eagle.

The layout of the Soviet Union's office is like that of an ordinary, most common government office.

Even in the North Union Castle in her home port, her office is still so simple.

Leaving the office door ajar, the Soviet ally walked back to his seat and sat down.

Looking at the scientific research records and patrol daily reports sent by Chkalov and her second sister Soviet Belarus on the table, she put all the documents into the drawer.

But her eyes happened to see the group photo of all members of the Northern Alliance after they arrived in Natlan, which she had placed in this drawer.

The photos were taken in the snow outside the temporary port area after they said goodbye to their comrades from Donghuang.

Although they were all extremely worried about the whereabouts of the commander at that time, Mercury Memorial in the photo was still laughing and encouraging them to liven up the atmosphere.

"Hehe~ It's not good for allies to always look so sad. Look, this is the Natlan rabbit monster I caught specially. Doesn't it look like an Arctic hare~"

The voice of Mercury Ji Ji comforting her at that time seemed to ring in her ears again.

The Soviet ally picked up the photo uncontrollably, staring blankly at Kirov, Lingmin, Tashkent and Xiongmeng in the picture.

Crystal clear tears slid down the face of the battleship beauty who was as beautiful as an iceberg.

"sorry Sorry……"

In this lonely hour of the night, the Soviet Union finally dropped its cold disguise and cried out in regret for its original decision.

Just as Volga often talks about "unity and friendship", this is also the concept of implementing the Northern Union.

However, when she lost contact with her companions, she chose to prioritize helping to eliminate the evil cultivators and the Nightmare Fleet in various parts of Northern Province.

Although Aurora comforted her and told her that she should trust her comrades, solving the nightmare fleet and the evil cultivators as soon as possible would also reduce the risks faced by Kirov and the others.

But as time went by, even though the Northern Province was basically pacified, there was still no news from Kirov and the others, which made her more and more regretful.

If I had gone to search and rescue immediately, would they have been found?

If Comrade Commander really comes to Natlan, how should I, as the flagship, explain to him that the Northern Alliance has lost five comrades?

The Soviet Alliance had never been so helpless. Even when faced with countless dangers, she was still able to command her companions to overcome and win without changing her expression.

But in this situation, she really didn't know what to do.

There was no trace of the five comrades in the North Province, West Province, and Central Province.

She has used all means to search, even forming an alliance with the Blue God Cult, which is related to X, but it is still useless.

"If only you hadn't sent them on a reconnaissance mission."

"In the final analysis, the root cause of all this is you."

A voice sounded in Soviet Alliance's mind, causing him to stand up and walk in a trance into the bedroom connected to his office.

She fell onto her bed in the dark and covered her head with her hands, trying her best to resist the voices that were surging in her head.

"How are you going to explain this to Comrade Commander now?"

"Comrade Commander has finally come to Natlan, but because of your misjudgment, the five comrades may never be able to meet and reunite with their beloved comrade Commander again."

…“Shut up! Shut up!”

Soviet Alliance trembled and covered her ears, but these voices continued to torment her mind.

"You almost brought the entire Natlan and the entire world to ruin because of your own impulse. How can you face the commander?"

"Shut up……"

The Soviet alliance huddled up tightly and covered its ears in an attempt to reject all of this.

This time, the noisy voices finally dissipated completely.

She gasped weakly, letting her tears slide down her cheeks, wetting the long bright green hair that was pressed under her body.

It was only then that Soviet Alliance saw the ring of the oath on the ring finger of his left hand out of the corner of his eye.

Looking at this ring full of beautiful memories, she sobbed and stroked it carefully with her right hand.

"Comrade Commander... What should I do..."

This oath ring was like a reassuring amulet, causing the Soviet allies to ask questions weakly.

Although she knew that she would not get an answer from her beloved who was far away in her home port or Donghuang, she still slowly closed her eyes in the darkness and talked to herself tiredly.

And in this hazy mental state, Soviet Alliance felt as if her face was gently caressed by a warm hand, wiping away her tears.

The Soviet Alliance didn't know whether this was a dream or reality, but even if she closed her eyes, she could still guess who the owner of this hand was.

"Comrade Commander?"

As she spoke softly, she felt the commander's hand stiffen.

This made the Soviet allies, who had their eyes closed, smile at themselves again.

If this was a dream, it was pretty real.

But if this was really a dream, she could express out loud her self-blame during this period and her longing for her commander.

Then she began to cry:
"I'm sorry...Comrade Commander...

"I sent Mercury Memorial, Kirov, Tashkent, Agility, and Fierce to carry out reconnaissance missions, but after they lost contact, I was unable to do my best to search and rescue them in the first place..."

"It's okay. This was an unexpected accident. The responsibility is not yours."

The caring voice that she had dreamed of countless times rang out, making Soviet Alliance feel unprecedented warmth in her heart, as if the person she could rely on was really sitting next to her.

"I, I almost started a war and destroyed this country, allowing the conspiracy of the Category V threat to succeed..."

"This is not your fault. If I lost a companion, I would make the same judgment."

The commander's gentle voice sounded in my ears again:

"I firmly believe that you will never kill innocent people, so I will temporarily hand over the Mind Cube to Emperor Natlan.

"Mercury Memorial: They are all safe and sound, and have reunited with me successfully. You will be able to see them soon."

This time, a smile from the heart appeared on the cold and delicate face of the Soviet ally.

If all this beauty was really a dream, she really wanted to never wake up.

"So, can you open your eyes and take a good look at me?"

"?"

However, the commander's words, spoken in a slightly playful tone, made the Soviet allies suddenly realize that something was wrong.

Wait, could it be that... all this is not a dream?

Is Comrade Commander really sitting next to her?
But what should she do if she opened her eyes and her commander was no longer in front of her?
It was just a simple matter of opening his eyes, but the Soviet ally had never felt that such a simple action would be so difficult for him.

But she was ultimately a Soviet ally and the flagship of the Northern Union.

Even if you know that nothingness is waiting for you ahead, so what?
Comrade Commander definitely doesn't want to see himself being so weak.

Thinking of this, the Soviet Alliance finally opened its eyes.

And what came into view was the familiar face in the white commander's uniform, reaching out to touch her face, looking down at her with a smile.

"Long time no see, Soviet Alliance, you have been really hard-working during this period."
