Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

In the mirror sea, after forcibly clearing out the agent fleet in front of it, the Siren fleet quickly retreated like the tide and disappeared.

Yang Sikang also stopped Wichita and the others from trying to chase them, but because there was no suitable place to rest here, he could only let the ship girls who entered here first come to the command ship for inspection.

"I'm very sorry, Commander. This is my first mission, and it's not even a normal mission..."

"Don't blame yourself, Royal Oak."

Yang Sikang interrupted Royal Oak and said with a smile:

"I have to thank you, haha. I have actually been worried for a while. Richard the Good's Agent Fleet and the Siren's Main Fleet have completely disappeared. Although their activities have not decreased at all, those Type I ships are not important."

"Now, at least we know that the Siren and Good Richard are fighting each other in the Mirror Sea, where we usually don't pay attention."

He looked at the Royal Oak and said:

"This is very important information. Although this mission is a bit unlucky for you, it is a good thing for our fleet as a whole."

Such words are actually somewhat irresponsible and can easily be interpreted as not caring about the safety of his companions on the mission. However, after he said this, it was obvious that the Royal Oak's sense of self-blame had diminished a lot, and the other ship girls did not care whether there was any problem with Yang Sikang's words.

"But since we're already here, the only way to get out is to get rid of the core of this mirror sea. Royal Oak, you guys get treated first, and then we'll go find where the core of this mirror sea is. If nothing goes wrong, there will be many more battles waiting for us later."

"Yes, Commander!"

After the others left, Garden walked in:

"Commander, those agents are a little different from the ones we encountered before. They have become stronger and more troublesome. My artillery cross-fire clearly hit the target, but it failed to kill the unprepared agent in one shot, and it didn't even completely paralyze it. This is already very telling."

"The same goes for Yorktown. Her bombs only blew the mass-produced ships of that fleet into two pieces. This is very abnormal. So, during the time when we thought nothing happened, our opponents were actually getting stronger at the same speed as us!"

The effect of this attack is actually stronger than in previous fights. As far as a battle is concerned, it is already very good for them to achieve such an effect in one go.

But although they have had peace during this period, they have not relaxed their training, and exercises, training and corresponding improvements in all aspects have been steadily improving.

This even included comprehensive reinforcement from the hull to the ship's equipment, as well as having Brie and others check on them every once in a while to see if they were suitable for the next breakthrough.

However, the actual results now show that their efforts have not achieved the expected results, but have only brought them slight improvements.

The opponent's improvement speed is not much slower than theirs!

"It's expected, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are getting stronger. Maybe they just weren't able to exert their normal combat power in previous battles."

Yang Sikang said, Huayuan frowned slightly when he heard it, and then said:

"You mean, these agent fleets need to be deeply corroded by those fungi before they can exert their normal combat power?"

Yang Sikang nodded slightly:

"So far, we have come into contact with four types of units related to the Agent Fleet: 1 is the Agent of the Good Richard, who has the same image as herself. This type of agent rarely appears, only in the battle of Donghuang, but it is very strong.

2 is Herophant, but that one doesn't actually belong to the Agent. It seems very strange to me that the good Richard can control her. That one is an organism belonging to some other existence.

The rest are two different types of agents, but they are obviously more related to Herophant than to Good Richard."

At this point, Yang Sikang shrugged:

"So, the good Richard may not be able to fully utilize the combat power of those agents belonging to Helophant, so he has to use some transfers to turn Helophant's agents into hers."

“Erosion, I see.”

Huayuan nodded without asking why Yang Sikang knew so much.

In fact, these factors are basically Yang Sikang’s own guesses, and he has no substantial evidence at all.

He was still reluctant to touch the body of the good man Richard in the laboratory, and he still remembered very clearly the warning that Helophon had given him before.

But the problem needs to be rationalized, otherwise the pressure brought by the opponent will cause great trouble.

Although his fleet was able to keep up with or even surpass the improvements made by the Agent Fleet during this period, this was not the case for others.

For the majority of other commanders and ship girls, the original agent fleet was already a very difficult opponent for them to deal with. Coupled with such an exaggerated improvement speed, it is really easy to make people feel frustrated and desperate.

It doesn't matter about the ship girls. He believes that most of them have the courage to fight against opponents stronger than themselves, but... those ordinary commanders, especially the novices, may not be the case.

As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole. It is much better to nip the factors that may cause problems in the bud from the beginning rather than trying to fix them after the fact!

"Such erosion takes time, and if the Sirens had been fighting them during the time we thought was peaceful, the number of ships that were deeply eroded should be limited, right?"

Huayuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Sikang:

"Commander, how about we temporarily cooperate with Siren?"

"What do you think?"

Not surprisingly, Yang Sikang directly asked for Garden's opinion. The current situation was very clear. As one of the current options, there was no doubt that good man Richard posed a greater threat than Siren.

As for the issue of Siren turning against him and backstabbing him, he had a big enough surprise to show Siren when that happened.

Of course, from his point of view, the Royal Oak's mistaken entry into the mirror sea was more likely a good thing done by the Siren.

If this is the case, there must be more than just the Agent Fleet in this Mirror Sea...

"Hua Yuan, you will be in charge of the battle command on the way. Ask An Shan and the other four to come to the command ship. I need to tell them something in advance."

Huayuan's eyes suddenly became serious:

"Good Richard?"

Yang Sikang nodded:

"It is possible. If it is not accidental for Royal Oak and the others to enter this mirror sea area, then this possibility is very high."

"I understand."

Huayuan turned around and left the command room quickly, and soon the four Anshan sisters arrived on the command ship.
