Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 162 Huaiwu City

As a Donghuang civil dog who received higher education in Blue Star, Lin Lan naturally only believed half of the historical materials in Hongye Naval Academy.

When a war breaks out between two countries, no matter which country it is, its domestic propaganda must be based on itself as the righteous side.

He would be a fool if he believed in Oran's unilateral historical data.

Whether it is from the perspective of greedy businessmen and consortia, or from the perspective of President Oran, who is eager to gain more votes through territorial expansion.

He didn't even believe that Oran would just obediently build factories on the territory of the Natlan Empire and buy and sell goods normally.

Merchants and financial groups are eager to use cheap industrial products to earn a lot of luxury goods and specialty resources with research value in the Natlan Empire.

The Oran government and the president hope to send a large number of spies to find out the military strength and secret information of the Natland Empire, so as to prepare for future wars.

How can the exchanges between countries be purely black and white? That's something only children would believe.

But even so, Lin Lan still believed that the new emperor of the Natlan Empire treated the Oran people too cruelly and bloodily.

Not to mention declaring war openly, at least those Oran citizens who really just came to work and immigrate don't deserve to die.

According to Oran's records, by the time the Oran army arrived in the Natlan Empire, the total number of Oran citizens who had died in the Natlan Empire had reached a terrifying 10 people.

These are hundreds of thousands of living people, not hundreds of thousands of livestock.

During the century-old war between the two countries, the number of casualties in Dan Oran could even be counted in millions.

Lin Lan thought that if he was really a native of Oran, even if he knew what Oran had done before the war, he would still hate the Natland Empire extremely.

Shaking his head, Lin Lan shook off the involvement between the two countries in his head.

He is just a traveler from Blue Star, who came here to retrieve wives from all over the world and return to the port area.

His biggest enemy is only the siren, and he doesn't bother to delve into the political involvement between these countries.

Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish.

It was enough for him to keep this simple point in mind.

The iron-blooded fleet gradually approached the ancient city of Natland named Huaiwu City, and the surrounding wooden fleet finally discovered them, and began to turn their main guns to prepare to attack the girls.

However, how can these cumbersome ships, which are not even as good as the mass-produced siren, be the opponents of the iron-blooded ships?

"Boom!" "Boom!!"

As Egil took the lead in firing, the other ships and girls mainly poured the main gun ammunition to these Natlan fleets.

Under the leadership of Z1, the Z-driver, the four Z-drivers also fired continuously, throwing torpedoes into the water in groups, dragging the waves to deal a heavy blow to these heavy wooden ships of the Natland fleet.

By observing the battle situation on the command ship, Lin Lan noticed that these dark brown wooden warships of the Natlan Empire, although they looked like they were made of wood.

But the actual strength is comparable to that of steel, and it is difficult to catch fire.

It seems that the dark brown wood used to manufacture warships in the Natlan Empire is a specialty that the United States of Oran does not have.

The wooden warships surrounding Huaiwu City were all sunk quickly under the onslaught of the iron-blooded fleet, and turned into wreckage floating on the sea.

Lin Lan and the others passed through the wreckage of the wooden ship, and he also found that there were no real Natlan crew members on the sea full of wreckage.

"Sure enough, these ships were created by the Sirens in this mirrored sea area, imitating the chess pieces of the Natlan Empire fleet. After all, this place is still an illusion."

After passing through the wreckage, Lin Lan and others finally boarded the wharf of Huaiwu City.

It is said to be a pier, but it has been basically destroyed by the war.

The wooden buildings on the side of the pier were engulfed by the fire, and a large number of corpses wearing armor fell in disorder on the side of the pier.

"Commander! Stay by my side, I will protect you!"

After stepping on land, Blücher rushed up and hugged Lin Lan's arm tightly.

"Hmph, if Zeppelin is here, he will definitely be extremely excited."

Egil looked around the ancient city that was about to be completely destroyed, and looked at the pink-haired heavy cruiser aside with a sneer:

"Of course, someone here is probably also excited."

Hearing Egil's words, Lin Lan looked at Ron.

At this time, the always gentle pink-haired elder sister Ron has completely entered the fighting posture.

The corners of her mouth have been raised wildly, her eyes are shining with a blood-red luster, and her body is constantly trembling, as if she is very excited about this messy battlefield.

"Hey, Ron's dual personality is really..."

Lin Lan shook his head. As expected, he should pay more attention to Ron's situation.

Just after everyone boarded the pier, suddenly, there was a loud explosion and a series of gunshots in the city that was ignited by the flames.

But if you want to rush over, you have to face the dense buildings that have been engulfed in flames.

"Leave the flames to me, and your ship's equipment should be used to block objects falling from above."

Lin Lan had his own unique way to pass through the flames.

Taking out a black jade from his pocket, Lin Lan walked to the edge of the flames under the protection of the girls around him.

"Retreat."

As he raised his hand holding the black jade, he spoke softly.

The raging sea of ​​flames, which could no longer be easily extinguished in front of everyone, suddenly seemed to have life, and slowly retreated to the sides, making way for a passage.

What's more, the scorching air waves on the pavement that everyone felt while standing by the fire also became cooler in an instant with Lin Lan's opening.

The ancient Liaozhou props that the brave can make, the fire-piercing jade beads.

The activation effect of this jade bead is that it can greatly increase the fire element resistance of the user and the surrounding people, and it can also dispel the fire element more than ten meters around.

This astonishing scene shocked the ship girls around Lin Lan. They never knew that their commander had such abilities.

"Commander, can you make a few more meows later on, Yushi?"

Ming Shi, a small profiteer, saw the effect of the fire-preventing jade bead in Lin Lan's hand so obvious, his eyes were straightened, and he quietly approached Lin Lan and asked.

"No problem, I'll make a few more of these things later and give them to your shop as treasures. Time waits for no one, let's go."

It was not difficult to make this fire-preventing jade bead. After Lin Lan agreed to Akashi casually, he and the others walked towards the road leading to the city that was originally shrouded in flames.

Hearing Lin Lan's words, Akashi showed a happy smile on his face, and followed closely his iron-blooded companions to the city.

"Crench!"

Egil, who was at the forefront, controlled the dragon ship to clear away the debris of the building that fell before everyone and blocked the road.

Although the flames were driven back, the smoke and burnt smell from the burning of the wooden house still remained.

After the sea of ​​flames dissipated, everyone walked on the streets of Huaiwu City, and Lin Lan kept observing the exteriors of the seven or eight buildings that had been burned.

Everything in this city made him feel like he had come to the ancient Donghuang.

In addition, the Natland Empire has always been famous for its martial arts, Lin Lan felt as if he had traveled back to the Blue Star in a daze.

"This place really looks like Donghuang's style."

It was not surprising that he heard Blucher's exclamation beside him.

After all, there were Donghuang-style buildings in his former port area.

The ship girls of the Donghuang camp will always hold various activities such as New Year's Eve dinner, fireworks show, etc. during the Chinese New Year, and invite all camps in Hong Kong to participate.

So after Blücher sighed, the surrounding iron-blooded girls also suddenly realized.

No wonder everything here looks so familiar.

"Commander, if we remember correctly, you seem to be from Donghuang? When you see this city, will you..."

Prince Eugen, who was walking in front of Lin Lan, suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Lan worriedly.

Except Eugen, the other ship girls also looked at him with concern.

After all, their commander was walking in a city of ruins that was so similar to his hometown.

They worried whether the commander would be sad to see this ancient city that had been devastated by the war.
