Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 42 The Eve Before Departure
Walking and chatting with Eugen by the sea, Lin Lan felt that time was passing by so fast, and it was almost late at night before he knew it.

Even though he still wanted to go around a bit more, intending to see what the barbarians at the pier were unloading, Eugen still dragged him back to the fortress in the name of letting him rest earlier.

There was no one on the empty first floor of the Iron-Blooded Fortress, and the two of them took the elevator to the fourth floor very quickly.

"Your Excellency Commander, Sister Eugene, you are back!"

As soon as Lin Lan stepped out of the suspended elevator, Mr. Nimi Z23 suddenly appeared and greeted him.

At this time, Nimi was not wearing the Jagged uniform, but a light blue dress, which set off her slender figure, which was very cute.

Lin Lan looked at the cute little loli who was wearing a little blue hat and a black-red bow hair accessory, and stretched out her hand to rub her brown hair:
"Yo, Nimi, you are here specially to watch me come back."

Although Z23 had a very happy face, he still coughed dryly, pretended to be stern, and said seriously:

"Commander, I'm here to inform you that Master Bismarck has made arrangements and can set off tomorrow morning."

Hearing Z23's words, Lin Lan suddenly remembered that he should indeed leave to take office tomorrow.

After all, in order to reunite with all the ship girls in the port area as soon as possible, he must work hard.

"Since Master Bismarck has made arrangements, the commander should indeed rest early~"

While Eugen was talking to Lin Lan, he also patted Z23's head with a smile.

Nimi looked suspiciously at Eugen, who looked very happy in front of her. She always felt that the smile on Eugen's face today was more real than before.

But thinking that Eugen was with Lin Lan as the secretary ship today, Z23's small head quickly guessed the general idea.

Since Lin Lan's room was near the elevator on the third floor, after walking to the door, he waved goodbye to Nimi and Eugen.

"Commander, good night~"

"Your Excellency, have a good dream."

After saying goodnight to each other, and watching Z23 and Eugen leave, Lin Lan pushed the door open.

But as soon as the door was opened, he suddenly saw a carefully woven flower basket on the ground behind the door.

The exquisite blue and white flowers are arranged like precious works of art in the flower baskets, which are hard to put down.

The variety of the flower was exactly the one he casually mentioned on the balcony of Hipper's room at noon.

"Hippel is really..."

Lifting the flower basket carefully, Lin Lan showed a warm smile.

This arrogant golden retriever has a really delicate mind.

"Chirp? Chirp tweet?"

As soon as he walked into the room from the door, Lin Lan saw a cute yellow chubby creature, Man Jiu, rolling around on his bed.

It was the squirrel he had asked Bismarck to deliver yesterday.

Gently placing the flower basket on the windowsill, Lin Lan turned around and walked towards the big bed.

He looked at the little Manjiu who was staring blankly at him, with a devilish smirk on his face:
"Hey hey, can you, a little man, escape from my palm? You can't!"

"A little man like you was born to be eaten by the commander, it's useless to resist!"

Looking at Lin Lan who was getting closer and closer, the yellow little man chirped on the bed, showing a very humane expression of fear.

"Choo Choo Choo!!!!!"

At the same time, on the fifth floor of the Iron Blood Fortress.

In the office of the iron-blooded flagship Bismarck, under the dim yellow light, three iron-blooded ship girls stood straight in front of her desk.

Bismarck looked at the three people in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:
"Because the relocation of the fortress requires a lot of manpower, and Brunhilde and the others are still on their way back from White Eagle."

"Therefore, after discussing with Emperor Frederick the Great, I have decided on the list for escorting the commander to Xingang District tomorrow."

Bismarck took out a manuscript and handed it to the three people in front of him for circulation.

"After the location of the commander's new port area is determined, we will start transferring the fortress materials and troops in batches."

"Before the arrival of our large army, you must protect the commander at all costs, remove all obstacles for him, and even if you encounter a strong enemy, you must swear to protect him to the death."

Even though Bismarck knew that the three people in front of him were loyal to Lin Lan, even if she didn't need to emphasize it, he still ordered it.

Seeing the three people in front of her finish reading the manuscript of the list, she continued:

"Because we currently don't have many mass-produced supply ships, tomorrow's fleet will mainly consist of companions who have sufficient combat power and are good at assault warfare."

"After all, if you run out of oil, you can also execute handover and looting tactics."

A tall ship girl with long silver curly hair wearing a black military cap and a white windbreaker sneered and said:
"Why not choose to directly destroy this strange and weak country? I really don't understand what the commander is worried about."

"Kill, destroy, destroy, we have all the power to bring end to this hateful world."

Her bright red pupils shone with contempt for everything. She clasped her hands on her towering chest, and the oath ring on her right ring finger reflected silvery luster under the dim light.

Bismarck looked at her with some headaches, rubbed his temples, and seemed to be thinking about whether it was the right choice for her to accompany Lin Lan.

After all, it is a disease of secondary school to speak harshly, but once the secondary school has the strength to utter cruel words, it will be another matter.

He hesitated again and again, after all, people had already been called, and it was hard to change candidates.

Another handsome iron-blooded ship girl in a black and red cloak, wearing a full-body one-piece backless ultra-thin black silk, outlines a perfect body curve under the dark black clothes.

She has long silver-white hair loosely, and there is a touch of iron-blooded ship girl's signature red highlights in the bangs on the front of her forehead.

Her golden pupils were as bright as a cat's eyes under the dim light. Except for a pair of devil-like black horns on the top of her head, her face was half or half like that of Prince Eugen.

"Anyone who dares to block the pace of the commander and Sangvis will be smashed by the giant waves like a weak splash. Lord Bismarck, don't worry, hehehe."

She showed an extremely confident smile, as if no formidable enemy was worth mentioning in front of her.

After Bismarck looked at the ship girl with satisfaction and nodded, he finally turned his gaze to the shadows aside.

Under the shadow of the light, the inconspicuous slender woman with short black hair was silent from beginning to end, not saying a word.

Wearing a black off-the-shoulder short gown and black tight-fitting leather boots, although her flawless and icy face is hard to forget, she doesn't seem to have any sense of existence.

If you put her in the crowd, you won't even feel her breath at all.

Bismarck stood up slowly, looked at the unsmiling black-haired ship girl, and said solemnly:

"As the flagship of the fleet going out tomorrow, the commander will entrust you during this time. Be sure to protect the commander for us and hold on until we arrive."

The short black-haired Jianniang gently lifted the bangs in front of her right eye, revealing yellow eyes, and nodded slightly.

It was the victorious commander of the exercise the day before yesterday, Ulrich von Hutten.
