Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

On the sea, as the counterattack and Renown's main guns fired again, the last Siren ship in the distance burst into flames and was confirmed to have been destroyed.

The time has come to the end of February, and almost a month has passed since the assassination of the congressman.

All kinds of inquiries are coming in endlessly, and people come to the port area in batches to ask for details.

Although Yang Sikang repeatedly emphasized that it was impossible for him to appear in that city at that time, everyone who came would raise questions without exception until they thought they confirmed the authenticity of the information.

This greatly interfered with Yang Sikang's daily activity schedule, especially the research that originally required him to spend a lot of time, but there was almost no progress at all during this month.

Even in order to avoid being found his stronghold, he could only ask Sheffield to maintain the state of the laboratory from time to time, and he could not go there.

It was the same today. Before the troublemakers arrived, he directly chose to accept the patrol commission and then went out with the team.

The patrol routes are basically fixed, and in daily situations, Yang Sikang will not accompany such entrustment.

Most of the time, the patrol process is very peaceful, and only a few scattered sirens are encountered occasionally.

In addition, there are quite a lot of talents in Yang Sikang's team who can serve as commanders. Newcastle, Belfast, and Essex all have this ability.

Therefore, unless he was required to collect certain materials or data in person, he would not follow him at all.

But today's voyage yielded an unexpected reward. The leader of the Siren fleet, which had just been sunk by counterattacks and reputation, was an I-type chess player, that is, a humanoid aircraft carrier Siren.

Although they are also mass-produced, humanoid sirens like the chess player are still much stronger than ordinary siren ships. Just like the difference between ship girls and mass-produced battleships, humanoid sirens have the same advantages.

This also means that there is no dimensionality reduction advantage in flexibility between the humanoid siren and the ship girl. As the chess player of the aircraft carrier, the number of carrier-based aircraft is very powerful, so if they encounter it during patrol, they often It is a difficult opponent to deal with.

Of course, this is for ordinary commanders.

For Yang Sikang, the way to deal with the chess players is simple: Essex + Independence, directly use fighter jets to seize air supremacy.

For aircraft carriers, the ownership of air superiority is crucial, and the cooperation of Essex and Independence, coupled with the air defense of the maids, the combat effectiveness that the chess players can exert is greatly weakened.

Until the chess player was sunk, there were no serious injuries on the patrol fleet.

As for why this was an unexpected gain, it was because Yang Sikang happened to collect some performance data of the chess players.

Mainly data on the combat effectiveness of carrier-based aircraft in combat.

"It's worth comparing. If we can build a proper model of the flower..."

"Commander, there is an extremely fast enemy reaction!"

The urgent sound of the javelin interrupted Yang Sikang's thinking. He quickly turned to look at the radar. Sure enough, an enemy target was coming towards them from the edge of the radar detection range at an extremely exaggerated speed.

In just two seconds or so, the enemy had actually shortened the distance by half!

"This is?!"

Yang Sikang's eyes widened. He could already see the reaction in that place visually, and the enemy that was slowing down caused a layer of cold sweat to break out on his back.

"Everyone pays attention to air defense! Essex and Independence use carrier-based aircraft to contain them, and the others retreat! Quick! Everyone retreat!!"

With a long white ponytail, a sailor top and black shorts, the whole person is flying in the sky. Behind him is a black ship suit that looks incredible for flying.

Several slender gun barrels were placed on her left and right sides like decorations. The golden light made the black ship's uniform look more three-dimensional, but at the same time, Yang Sikang's heart sank.

The experimental agency's high-level Siren Purifier.

A genuine high-level siren, its ship type is a battleship. With powerful defense and unreasonable firepower, those four slender barrels are no joke.

Although players can always beat the Siren to a pulp in the game, and occasionally she can even become a player's friendly combat force, there is no doubt that her strength is very powerful.

It’s just that the players in the game are stronger.

But the problem is, this is not a game world, and he is not an invincible player.

However, even though he ordered quickly, the Purifier came even faster.

Suddenly there were a large number of stars in the sky. Before everyone could react, those 'stars' had grown bigger and then fell down.

boom! ! ! !

The calmness of the sea was once again broken, and the two ship girls flew out in an instant. Other ship girls rushed forward to help, while more ship girls launched attacks on the Purifier.

In the public communication channel, Yang Sikang's roar sounded:

"Everyone, retreat!! I will try to contain this siren, retreat immediately and return to the port area as quickly as possible! Immediately!!"

However, his orders did not go down well with everyone.

Several ship girls did not retreat but advanced, rushing towards the Purifier. Yang Sikang gritted his teeth and let Essex and Independent try to catch them.

The other commanders were reluctant to follow his orders, but he couldn't control that much now.

"Belfast, we are preparing to retreat."

"Master, do you really want to retreat now?"

The two sides have not officially fought yet, and if they retreat now, they will inevitably be criticized. Especially Yang Sikang's side is basically the main force of this patrol. Two battlecruisers and one sailor and one light sailor are enough to collide with any siren fleet under normal circumstances.

However, Yang Sikang himself knew that this was just because those people had not seen the real fangs of the Siren.

"The Purifier is not an opponent we can deal with now."

Yang Sikang said decisively:

“And you’ll see the conclusion right away.”

Before Belfast could speak, the four gun barrels next to the Purifier who was avoiding the bombardment in mid-air suddenly lit up.

The bright light is like the stars in the day.

Then, the stars stretched into lines and turned into laser beams falling into the sea.

There was a moment of silence.

The next second, the commander's shipgirls who rushed to the front, together with the mass-produced models next to them, disappeared in the moment they were enveloped in light.

The successive explosions made it seem like firecrackers were set off on the sea, but the soaring flames and the successive explosions completely dumbfounded the other commanders present.

In just a few seconds, the entire patrol fleet went from being aggressive to rout. The ship girls in front began to retreat, and those commanders who had only seen ordinary sirens had already been beaten by them. Terrified.

No one had time to care about the feelings of the commanders who had lost their shipmates. Essex and independent fighter jets flew out again, venting their firepower crazily towards the Purifier in the sky.

There is an essential difference between retreat and flight.

Yang Sikang immediately ordered the maids to maintain order among the other ship girls, and at the same time asked Jarvis and Janus to go directly to 'escort' the command ship back.

Under his strong orders, the mood of the ship girls was finally stabilized with the maids as the center.

"Essex, how long can you hold on?"

"About 5 minutes."

Essex replied:

"The opponent's defense is very strong, and it is difficult for fighter jets to cause effective damage to her."

"Counterattack with reputation, attack the ship's equipment behind her, and hit those shining positions!"

The target of the bombardment was immediately changed, and when the ship was hit, the Purifier quickly lowered its altitude.

However, the MK6's artillery fire was not able to penetrate her ship's defense. Because the Purifier's height was reduced, it became more difficult for direct artillery fire, and straddle fire did not meet the requirements.

The order to retreat was still being executed, and cold sweat began to break out on Yang Sikang's forehead.

He expected that the combat effectiveness between ship girls and high-level sirens in this world might not be on the same level, but such a one-sided battle result still shocked him.

Siren's mass-produced ships had already been cleaned up, and she was the only one when the Purifier came over.

However, it only took a few seconds for the Purifier to sink half of the mass-produced models of the entire patrol and several ship girls.

The direct hit from MK6's main gun failed to break her defense, so there was no need to consider the firepower of others.

Retreat once, while using mass-produced ships as consumables.

Yang Sikang decisively abandoned all mass-produced models except the command ship and used them as shields, and then exchanged time for retreat at the expense of Essex and independent carrier-based aircraft being continuously shot down.

Even the energy support of the Mind Cube cannot allow the carrier-based aircraft of the ship girl to be used indefinitely. As more carrier-based aircraft are shot down, the blocking force becomes weaker.

Fortunately, because the mass-produced model was abandoned, a team composed entirely of ship girls was more than enough to escort a command ship. However, this command ship was not used for combat after all, and the risk was still extremely high.

It had only been about 10 minutes, and the balance of the battle was almost unsustainable.

"Take those commanders down."

Yang Sikang ordered with difficulty:

"Abandon the command ship and release all carrier-based aircraft. Belfast and Newcastle will respond to Essex and Independence, while Sirius and Sheffield will respond to Prestige and counterattack. Use full firepower in the final round, and then evacuate at full speed!"

This time no one questioned his decision, and the ship girls next to him quickly picked up their respective commanders. Several people who lost their shipmates were also picked up by others.

The command ship was also abandoned, which in turn increased the retreat speed of the entire fleet.

The last carrier-based aircraft and artillery strikes were carried out, and the four most important combatants were almost knocked out of power.

However, even in such a battle, the Purifier was only slightly blocked for a short while before catching up again.

Yang Sikang's heart sank. He was now at his wits' end.

"What are you kidding..."

He growled and took out a box from the backpack he carried with him, which contained four mental cubes.

"commander!"

Javelin exclaimed, Yang Sikang raised his head and saw a black and white shadow flying quickly through the air, hitting the Purifier!

In a moment of collision, the Purifier's pursuit stopped, and the black and white shadow quickly turned around and flew back.

An eagle!

Subsequently, a large number of carrier-based aircraft flew over from the direction of the home port. At the same time, a reassuring voice sounded in the communication channel:

"Fortunately, we seem to have caught up?"
