Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1418: The Joint Fleet of Iris and Sardinia
The person Flandre was asking about was a tall woman with beautiful emerald green eyes and silver-gray floor-length hair tied into two ponytails, wearing a white Sardinian military uniform like an aristocratic lady.

Sardinian ocean liner converted into aircraft carrier - Skyhawk.

As the only carrier girl present, Tianying, who is always optimistic and considerate, also has a serious expression on her face at this moment.

Once upon a time, the Sky Eagle always regarded itself as the younger generation of aircraft carriers, and humbly learned from the Glorious Sisters, Count Zeppelin, and the aircraft carrier girls of the Sakura Empire camp.

Now, with the help of the commander and everyone in the port, this Sardinian lady has grown into a graduated ship girl who can stand on her own.

But even so, it is still extremely difficult for the Skyhawk, as a support aircraft carrier, to face the Agent Fleet on its own.

"The battlefield was too chaotic last night. Lavos's Agent Fleet firmly controlled the air, and I lost more than half of my carrier-based aircraft."

Tianying finished speaking in a deep voice, paused, and continued to speak to his companions at the table:

"But during the air battle, my carrier-based aircraft detected the signal response of the Dibel drone in the east of the city."

After hearing the important news from Sky Eagle, Algeria looked at Horror.

Horrible took out the map of Cardivn's main city at the right time and spoke softly:
"It is there, the entrance to the main tower of the High Tower School of Spellcraft."

"Dibel and Lavos's goal is really the tower, but why did they choose the School of Conjuration?"

At this time, the Iris Light Patrol Knight girl, who was sitting next to Galissonnier, with her golden hair tied up, wearing a white Holy Knight's armor and a rapier on her waist, frowned and looked puzzled.

Iris faction training cruiser, Joan of Arc.

This light cruiser girl, who has the same name as the Iris heroine in the history of Blue Star, is still determined to think of a way out of the impasse even in such a dangerous situation.

Not only Joan of Arc, but also several other ship girls from Sardinia and Iris who came here last night in pursuit of Diberu were also confused by the actions of Diberu and Lavos.

The fleet led by Flanders that pursued Dibel, in addition to Joan of Arc, also included the Visionary-class destroyer Iris Knight Daring, and the 1940 Navy Project heavy cruiser - the Magic Ship Brennus.

On the Sardinian side, the Skyhawk is the flagship, with three heavy cruisers of the same class as the main force:

Zara-class heavy cruisers - Zara, Gorizia, and Pola.

However, at this time, the three Sardinian Heavy Cruiser sisters and the Iris Heavy Cruiser Demon Sword Master Brennus were on guard outside the villa, replacing the four members of the Inquisition who were on duty last night.

They originally formed a joint fleet to pursue and investigate Dibel's whereabouts.

But no one expected that they would meet the four Iris ship girls who were investigating Marco Polo here, and be suddenly attacked by the agents led by Lavos.

Like Algeria and Galissonnier, the Sardinia and Iris shipgirls led by Skyhawk and Flanders also sensed that something had happened to their commander.

Considering the various emergencies at the moment, the gray-haired, red-eyed, heroic girl who stood behind Flandre like a guardian knight, with her sword planted on the ground with both hands, spoke boldly in a deep voice:
"Ms. Skyhawk, I remember that the Arbitration Bureau has the ability to fight in groups, but in the battle last night, we didn't seem to find Dibel himself participating in the city suppression?"

"That's true."

Sky Eagle looked at the Iris Knight, whose eyes were dim and who was holding on as if she had lost her spiritual support, and spoke with a bit of heartache:
“But this can also be interpreted as Dibelu not having to intervene in the battle at all.

“After all, Lavos’ endless fleet of agents alone is enough to suppress us. Even if Miss Algeria and Miss Galissonnière were briefly meta, they were forced back by Lavos himself.

"The most important point..."

At this point, Tianying looked around at his demoralized companions, sighed softly, and his voice became a little lower:
"Our commander, what happened?"

That's right, from the beginning to the end, they were unable to fight seriously with their full strength because they were concerned about their commander.

In the past, they were able to devote their whole selves to the battle under the guidance of their commanders.

Even though the commander lost contact later, they could still clearly sense that he was still alive, and were motivated to find him.

But that day, they all sensed with horror that the commander had disappeared and would never come back.

Especially for the Iris ship girls who believed in their commander, this was like taking away all their spiritual support.

Even though the commander's presence would soon return, they were still worried and depressed because they didn't know what was going on with the commander.

In this mental state, the strength they can exert is greatly weakened.

After Tianying finished speaking, all the ship girls in the room fell silent. The poor pink-haired destroyer girl Tartu even hung her head, her body twitching slightly and she sobbed softly.

However, at this moment, bursts of artillery fire suddenly came from outside the window, causing the ground to begin to tremble slightly.

Before the ship girls in the room could stand up, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

A tall blue-eyed girl wearing a white dress with a dark blue tint and waist-length white hair rushed into the villa's meeting room.

In his hand was a seductive rapier emitting a dark blue sheen, and his cold white face was filled with anxiety.

"Brenus, what happened?"

Flandre took a deep breath, looked at the heavy cruiser girl, and called out her name softly.

The visitor was none other than the Iris Demon Sword Master, Brennus, who was on a reconnaissance and surveillance mission.

When Flanders asked this question, the heavy cruiser girl hurriedly said to all the girls in the room:

"Lord Flandre, everyone, the fleet of agents that was originally patrolling in the city of Lavos suddenly surrounded us.

"Zara and the others have already started fighting the Agents, but they can only delay them briefly."

"The goal of these agents... seems to be to capture the teaching people around the cathedral."

The change in situation that Brennus mentioned made all the ship girls change their expressions.

"Does it look like the Siren's true nature is finally being exposed?"

Galissonnière said this in a cold voice, and the black long-handled giant axe was grasped in the hand of the pink-haired girl with twin ponytails.

Algeria also heard the sound of artillery fire getting closer, looked at Flanders anxiously and said:
"No matter what the purpose of the arbitration body is, we cannot let Lavos succeed. We must protect these civilians of the Teaching Nation."

"Well, without further ado, let's set off immediately.

"Kara, Tartu, go inform the local church and the Crusader Army first and ask them to spare no effort to activate the protection of the Magic Bell Tower."

Although Flandre has a childish appearance, as a powerful scientific research ship girl, her control over fighter planes is not inferior to any battleship.

Under Flandre's arrangement, the two great girls immediately took the order and left first.

The remaining ship girls also quickly followed Brunus's steps to the deserted streets, unfolded their ship suits and arrived at the front line of the battle.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Thunderous explosions continued to ring out in the already devastated neighborhood.

Three figures in dark green Sardinian uniforms were moving at high speed in the smoke, dodging the rain of artillery fire, and from time to time they fired the ship-mounted main guns and anti-aircraft guns beside them, firing back at the agents [Matchmaking] and [Interest] floating like stars in the sky.

"Tsk, this number is too much!"

The tall, red-eyed heavy cruiser girl Pola with purple-black curly hair used the naval rapier in her hand to block three shells coming from the front, and took advantage of the explosion to soar into the air.

The heavy cruiser girl with a perfect, voluptuous figure complained angrily while opening fire and shooting down several agents who were trying to break through the blockade from mid-air.

"The most troublesome thing is those pink battleship agents hiding in the back. Damn it, they have to prevent us from finding the commander at this time!"

Gorizia, a white-silk Sardinian heavy cruiser girl with long beige wavy hair and a sword in hand, also used the impact of the explosion to leap onto the top of the wreckage of a collapsed house.

Gorizia's dark golden eyes looked at the artillery shells raining down from the sky, which turned into afterimages and started another round of artillery attacks.

"Hold on a little longer, sisters. Miss Brunus and everyone else will be here to support us soon."

The last person to speak in a calm tone was the dark red ponytailed Sardinian ship girl, Zara, who was flying through the flames of the explosion.

He wore a black and red leather cape on his shoulders, and while he evaded and dodged the impact of artillery fire, he did not forget to encourage his two younger sisters.
