sun in blue

Ever since he said that appropriate sentence, Littorio could clearly feel that Leon used a strange force to apply sunscreen for himself, but... she was so comfortable at that time that She was a little reluctant to let this feeling go away from herself.

"I did use some abilities, but I always do this when I massage everyone else. This kind of energy can help you gradually strengthen your ship equipment. You will know it when you go to the battlefield or enter the training ground."

He explained to Littorio the same words he said to Marco Polo, and Leon sat back on his original seat. Leo recovered and went with her again.

"I see...I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability. Could this be the reason why the iron-blooded girls became stronger?"

"Yes and no, my strengthening can only play a small part. It is you who really exert your strength. Your own strength is the hard power. You should understand this truth."

Smiling at Littorio, Leon leaned back against the tree again. After eating the barbecue later, everyone will definitely pull him to play those classic games on the beach together, and... ..

At that time, there will definitely be many ship girls who will ask him to apply sunscreen for them. Leon feels that he should take advantage of this precious time to take a break.

"You're right, but...I still have a question, if we are really united in the future, then...will you treat us like you treat the Iron-Blooded Ship Girl?"

Seemingly recovering, Littorio sat on the cushion with his legs crossed facing Leon again. Seeing Littorio's serious expression, Leon smiled lightly and shook his head. .

"The promise I made verbally here is meaningless. In the future, you just need to see if I have achieved this. It is more practical to make it than to say it."

Leon now has a clear mind about the union. What Abruzzi said before is right. He has to leave a little room for everyone to retreat. In this way... everyone can observe what is going on with confidence. Can you do what he said?

"...I see, I'll keep my eyes on you, Leon."

After taking a deep look at Leon, Littorio finally showed a smile on his face, and then she stood up from the mat and stretched out her hand to Leon.

"We'll talk about this matter later. Now... let's go and meet everyone first. This time we have prepared a lot of ingredients to ensure that everyone will be full~"

"Ah."

Looking at Littorio with a smile on his face, Leon also put his hand on Littorio's hand, and after standing up with the strength of the other party, Leon stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and slapped Littorio. yawn.

Next, there are still many things waiting for me to do...

......

three days later.

Since the beach party was held with everyone last time, the relationship between the several camps has become closer. Leon also took advantage of these few days to have a good chat with the rest of the Sardinian Empire ship girls. , generally speaking... all the ship girls of the Sardinian Empire are still optimistic about Leon's proposal.

Since everyone has no opinion, the remaining things are much easier to handle. Not only that, Leon is also going to use the builder as the last trump card in his meeting with Veneto.

Leon also told Shinano Akagi and the others about the builder. Except for Shinano, the reaction of the other ship girls was exactly the same as that of the North Alliance ship girl. Akagi even doubted whether the builder would steal fish every night when he was sleeping. .

However, this matter is still an unexplored area for the builder. After appeasing the fox, Leon began to prepare the content of the meeting with Veneto.

Today is the day of talks between Leon and Veneto.

After breakfast, Leon came to the conference room with Frederick Shinano and Rosia. Shinano and Rosia will represent their respective camps to participate in the talks, while Veneto... is their Three sisters attended the meeting.

Return to iron and blood, Sardinian style: Chapter 378 Royal accidents and troubles ensued

Tea and snacks were set up on the conference table, Veneto had already sat on the side and waited for Leon's arrival, Littorio and Reich sat next to Veneto on the left and right, nodding to the three sisters After a while, Leon also sat on the other side of the table facing Veneto.

"It's been so many days, I think...you should be able to give me a perfect answer today, right?"

After sitting down, Leon asked Veneto straight to the point. He also chatted with other Sardinian Empire ship girls in private, and he still knew everyone's thoughts very clearly.

Listening to Leon's words, Veneto nodded with a smile on her face, and then she sat upright again and said to Leon:

"Yes, in the past few days, I have fully understood the views of the rest of our Sardinian Empire on your proposal, so... for this proposal, our Sardinian Empire agrees, but this approval has The premise, the purpose of our meeting...is to get this premise settled."

After all, Veneto handed the documents he had prepared to Leon. Compared with Leon and the others, the Sardinian Empire was at a disadvantage. If you want them to join this alliance without any scruples... . Then they have to meet their reasonable demands.

"Well, I understand. I came to the Sardinian Empire this time with sincerity. I'd better check your conditions first."

After receiving the document Veneto handed him, Leon began to read it carefully. The content of the document is not much, most of it is written language and polite words, and the core conditions of the Sardinian Empire are basically just a few. indivual.

The first is to ensure that the Sardinian Empire can still enjoy equal treatment after forming an alliance. There are many regulations in it, but the general meaning is to let Leon treat them like iron and blood, such as the distribution of spoils, the usual missions, and everyone. There shouldn't be any difference between the Sardinian Empire's ship girls and the Iron-Blooded ship girls' status in the joint port area.

The second is to ensure that the fundamental interests of the Sardinian Empire will not be destroyed. This fundamental interest document is very general, but Leon can basically understand what Veneto wants to express. She means that she does not want them to become A certain operation or a stepping stone of a certain camp, not only that, but the sea area of ​​the Sardinian Empire where Leon is now should also be protected by the United Port Area.

The rest of the conditions are some minutiae. After carefully reading the following content, Leon handed the document to Frederick who was beside him.

"I have already understood your conditions, and I can agree to all of these conditions, and...after the establishment of the United Port Area, all the facilities and materials in the Port Area will be shared by all camps, so... I don't have any material distribution here, so you don't have to worry about that."

"As for the interests of the camp, as I said before, the verbal promises I made are meaningless. You just need to see my actual actions. When the time comes...I will let everyone reserve the right to leave, of course , the premise is that I have done something wrong before you can leave."

After briefly answering some of the conditions put forward in the document, Leon then took out the document he made and handed it to Veneto. The alliance is mutual, and it is impossible for Leon to let Sardinia The empire raised conditions, but it didn't say anything on its own side.

"You can take a look. These are the things I can guarantee and the conditions on my side. If you agree, then I can show you my trump card."

"Killer?"

Glancing at Leon with a puzzled expression, Veneto read the document carefully after receiving it. Compared with Veneto, Leon's request is very small, and he basically put forward a The important condition is that the Sardinian Empire cannot betray itself at will.

He can give the Sardinian Empire the right to withdraw, but he does not allow the Sardinian Empire to abuse this right, but... Veneto and the others are ship girls with strong self-esteem, this kind of ship girl... will not do it This kind of thing happened.

For them, this condition is almost dispensable, because they never thought of betrayal from the beginning, but for Leon... this is a reassurance, and it can be regarded as his first attempt.

I will definitely make this proposal with other camps in the future. Leon needs to refine these conditions in the future. The Sardinian Empire has cooperated with Iron Blood before, so he doesn't need to propose any more conditions, but those Azur Lane camp...

Leon has to think carefully about how to get a win-win situation.

"We can do what you want, and... we will not do anything to betray our partners. Even in the original split, everyone just left separately, and did not cause trouble for other camps, so Saying...you don't have to worry about us betraying the issue either."

After reading Leon's conditions, Veneto looked at Leon with a smile again. Since both parties have no objection to the other party's conditions, then... starting today, the Sardinian Empire can officially join Leon Ong's proposed alliance.

"Okay, if that's the case, then we can sign, but... before that, I have to show you the trump card I just mentioned."

After that, Leon stood up and walked aside, and then, under the surprised eyes of the three Veneto sisters, Leon slowly raised his hand to restore the builder to its previous posture.

"Builder!?"

"Yes, please allow me to introduce, this is the reborn builder, from now on... she will always work for me."

"Working for you all the time?"

The appearance of the builder was naturally beyond Veneto's imagination. After Leon's explanation, the three Sardinian Empire ship girls finally accepted this reality.

"I didn't expect you to be able to use the core of the Siren. Then... when we fight the Siren in the future, wouldn't the builder be of great help to us?"

The strength of the builders is obvious to all, and they can use this power for their own use... Veneto suddenly felt that their choice to join forces with Leon seemed to be a correct choice.

And...they in the future seem to have only this choice.

"Of course, but some abilities can only be used after the core data tower is completed. After the United Port Area is completed, you will be able to enjoy the convenience brought by the ability of the builder."

Now that the alliance has been decided, Leon doesn't mind revealing more information to the Sardinian Empire so that they can cooperate better in future missions.

......

Scapa Flow Naval Base.

After Leon and his party left, this place should have been a casino for grand celebrations, but... at this time, Scapa Flow was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

In the secret room filled with various treatment facilities, Silly Bai was looking at Hood lying on the hospital bed with a sad face. Just two days ago at the opening ceremony of the celebration, Hood made It was an exciting speech, but after the speech... Hood suddenly fell on the podium, if the ship girl standing around Hood hadn't helped Hood in time...

The glory of the Royal Navy may really never come back again.

However, since that day, Hood's condition has been deteriorating, and as of today, Hood can no longer communicate with her normally.

hateful!Why is this happening!

In front of outsiders, even in front of most of the royal ship girls, Shabai has always been very strong, but now... Shabai can no longer control his tears. The corners of his eyes slipped, and when he thought of Hood's healthy and lively appearance some time ago, Silly Bai felt even more uncomfortable.

"Whoo~"

Shaking her body and sobbing for a while, Silly Bai finally took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face. There is no point in crying here, and now...she needs to find a way to treat Hood.

It's a pity... Regarding the coordinates of the meta-shaped royal ship, they haven't accurately grasped it until now. Although the reconstruction work of the Gate of Avalon has ended, but... without accurate coordinates, I dare not Act rashly.

Could it be...do I have to find Leon?He seemed to have reminded himself to pay more attention to Hood's situation before...

As soon as she thought of the Gate of Avalon, Silly Bai thought of Leon again. Leon had reminded her of many things before leaving, and Hood's condition was one of them. Now that I think about it...Silly Bai is a little suspicious Hood's healthy appearance some time ago is what Leon said in his mouth.

But Leon is still in Sardinia now, and he can't catch up for a while. He lowered his head and looked at Hood on the bed with a painful face. After thinking twice, Shabai still took out his communicator.

Hood has become like this now, but they haven't mastered the exact coordinates yet. It seems impossible to rely on their own power to heal Hood. Now...

I can only seek help from Leon.

Successfully curing Bismarck is a good example, and with Leon's help, they wouldn't bother with these things now.

Thinking of asking Leon for help in a humble manner, Silly Bai always felt a little uncomfortable, but...

Glancing at Hood on the bed again, a firm look finally appeared in his silly white eyes.

After finding Leon's contact information in the communicator, Silly Bai dialed Leon's number without the slightest hesitation, but, after waiting for about 1 minute, Silly Bai did not hear the voice he imagined. .

Is Leon busy now?

After hanging up the phone, Silly Bai looked at Hood again with a melancholy expression. She also felt unprecedented anxiety in her heart at this moment. Leon's behavior of not answering the phone even made Silly Bai begin to reflect on her original identity. It's not that I said anything too much to Leon.

However, at the end of reflection, Shabai found that Leon seemed to be talking to herself with a tough posture from the beginning to the end, and she had no room to refute at all.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

Just when Silly White was about to call Leon again, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted her behavior, and then, an anxious Belfast came to the door of the secret room.

"What's the matter, Biffa?"

Silly Bai felt that there would be nothing worse than Hood's situation now, so he put away the communicator and looked towards Belfast, then Silly Bai asked the head maid curiously.

"Neptune is in charge of the patrol mission near the secret room tonight, but the monarch in charge here disappeared last night, which made it impossible for Neptune to carry out handover work with the monarch, and then...we searched all over Scapa Flow and found nothing Find the figure of the monarch."

"What? The monarch is gone!?"

The head maid's words made Silly Bai immediately realize that misfortunes never come singly. Something happened to Hood just now, and the monarch disappeared again. After thinking for a moment with a gloomy face, Silly Bai suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Wait, since the monarch was patrolling near the Chamber of Secrets last night...then she must have heard my conversation with Hood!"

Hood was able to talk to her normally last night. At that time, they also discussed the safety of using uncertain coordinates. In the end, Silly White was also persuaded by Hood, but... the monarch who is patrolling outside is not necessarily the case.

"You mean... the monarch used the Gate of Avalon without authorization to come up with uncertain coordinates!?"

The clever head maid immediately understood her queen's thoughts. After the transformation of the Gate of Avalon, its body can already be hidden under the water surface. Great news, if the monarch really uses this device...

Then everyone really couldn't find that she left here.

"Since the monarch can't be found near Scapa Flow, she must have gone to that place alone, this guy..."

The behavior of the monarch has already made Silly White no longer know how to evaluate it. She can understand the other party's willingness to pay for her companions, but... such sacrifices are meaningless, and maybe she will fall into a situation where she will never be able to recover. .

"No, we can't just leave the monarch alone, Belfast, you should secretly summon the members of the royal maid team and the remaining planning ships now, we have to find the monarch back."

After thinking for a while, Shabai finally made this decision. Anyway, the monarch is a member of their royal family, and she must ensure the safety of her subjects no matter what.

"Huh? Then... do you want to tell others about this?"

"Don't tell Zhanwei and them about this. The monarch should have just left for that world not long ago. If we go late...then the monarch may be in danger."

Return to iron and blood, Satin style: Chapter 379 You are having an affair! ? (103, 104)

That night.

Leon let out a long sigh of relief when he came to the balcony of the banquet hall with a goblet in his hand.

He has negotiated with Veneto about the joint matter. From today onwards, the Sardinian Empire and the Iron Blood will be a whole. After the meeting, Leon and Veneto carefully discussed various matters until In the afternoon, everyone came out of the meeting room.

Everyone didn't have time for lunch, so Veneto decided to hold a grand dinner to celebrate the agreement reached by the two camps. The place of the dinner was the banquet hall. Until now, Leon had enough to eat and drink.

The girls in the banquet hall were still drinking, and with the girls from the Northern United, the atmosphere in the venue was also mobilized, but... Leon didn't plan to drink with them anymore, he had to give Marco Polo check the body yet.

"It feels like everyone is having a good time tonight~"

The evening wind made Leon wake up quite a bit. After standing alone on the balcony for a while, a pleasant voice sounded from behind Leon.

"Yeah~ Maybe everyone has been looking forward to this day~ There are so many people so it's lively~"

Turning his back against the railing, Leon then raised his glass to Veneto and drank the red wine in the glass, Leon sighed faintly.

"It's a pity that we can't live together now, presumably...that kind of life should be much more interesting than now, right?"

Tonight, Veneto is wearing a purple tube top evening dress, but... the proud front armor is still powerful. Looking at Veneto walking towards him slowly, Leon even felt that he was about to come out a feeling of.

"Maybe~ But...you can't drink any more tonight~ Drinking too much is bad for your health."

Stretching out his hand to snatch the goblet from Leon's hand, Veneto leaned against the balcony railing together with Leon, looked up at the stars in the night sky, then Veneto whispered to Leon Ang said: "It turns out... I have always wanted to spread the power of the Sardinian Empire over the entire ocean, and then I discovered... that we can't do it with our current manpower. Before Under your command, I participated in the battle against the builders. I thought that the victory of that battle would add a magnificent chapter to the history of our camp, but in the end... the enemies we dealt with were just the tip of the iceberg in the opposing camp .”

"You said... what should we do in the future, Leon."

During the previous meeting, Leon also briefly introduced the ember system and the siren system that he had learned about. To Veneto and the others, these contents were even more shocking than the appearance of the builder. I always felt... .

Their fighting for so many years, in the end, it was just a few small fights...
