Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1019 The End of Compromise

Five hours later, the battle was still going on, but Yang Sikang had already provided emergency treatment to all the royal escort fleet.

Although there were some people who showed a clear desire to join the war regardless of their own safety and had a death-seeking mentality, after Yang Sikang's explanation, no one succeeded.

But the enemies pouring in from all directions did not decrease at all. Although the number of these Siren ships was not particularly exaggerated, their stronger individual combat power made it more difficult for Yang Sikang's fleet to deal with them.

The battle situation came to a stalemate, but the Prince of Wales had actually opened up a channel for the two fleets. However, Yang Sikang did not lead his men to break out and evacuate directly.

"The tester was defeated, and the other high-level Sirens have not appeared yet. But the enemies are endless, not many in number but of high quality. Haha, it seems that the answer we want should be on this ship, but..."

As Yang Sikang spoke, he looked out the window. All the Royal Ship Girls who had received treatment returned to the cargo ship and surrounded it.

"This is too obvious."

Yang Sikang shook his head helplessly.

The things on this ship were obviously very important, but this was already known, after all, it had been told in advance.

However, it is unreasonable for it to be so important as to attract the Sirens' constant siege.

It would be fine if these sirens were brought by the tester, just normal sirens causing trouble. However, it is unusual that these sirens did not disappear even after the tester was defeated.

And now, these ship girls are obviously in an unusual mental state, but they are so stubborn in protecting this cargo ship.

"Obviously they didn't intend to treat you as a fool, they just didn't want us to explore the reasons."

Yixian said cheerfully at the side. She was also in the command room as she was resting on the Gu Diao due to rotation.

"And Guanghui and the others haven't come yet, hehe..."

Yang Sikang sighed:

"Once you guys have recovered, we will prepare to break out. It will be meaningless to continue wasting time. We have almost collected enough data on the Type III Siren. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid the Royal Army will be unable to sit still."

As he spoke, he looked outside and chuckled:

"Take them back. As for the things on the boat, you don't have to look at them."

"But what about these Sirens? If the thing that attracts them is really on this cargo ship, I'm afraid we won't be able to take them away safely."

"Then let the Royal Family worry about it, I'll just save people."

Yang Sikang said decisively, Yixian was a little surprised, and Yang Sikang continued:

"We can help if we can, and we can save if we can, but no one can wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. No matter what is on this cargo ship and why it attracted the Siren fleet, if the royal family insists on not letting us know, there are ways to deal with it. In that case, we won't force it..."

Yang Sikang sighed at this point, and then said:

"Anyway, we don't need them. Our goal has been achieved, and that's enough."

Yixian nodded and said:

"Then, we won't need to do anything extra when we break out later?"

"Anyway, what needs to be done has been done."

Yang Sikang said with a smile.

Half an hour later, Yang Sikang placed the cargo ship behind the Gu Diao, and then the entire fleet began to break out.

The remaining mass-produced ships were abandoned, and the routes that had already been opened up by the Royal Fleet were simply and crudely connected by using aircraft carriers and battleships to clear the way.

When the two fleets met, the ship girls on Yang Sikang's side directly abandoned the cargo ships and the surrounding escort teams, and turned around to attack the Siren ships approaching from the side.

The Prince of Wales looked at the back of the Gu Diao with a complicated expression and sighed helplessly.

Only one hour had passed since they broke out and reunited, and although the Siren fleet was still in good order, there were no follow-up reinforcements.

Yorktown and other aircraft carriers discovered this incident at the first time, and this fact was also confirmed by various information confirmed during the subsequent battle.

It has been completely confirmed that something is hidden on the cargo ship.

However, Yang Sikang did not continue to care about this matter. The amount of data collected on the Gu Diao in this battle was enough for him to study many things.

The most important thing for him now is not what the royal family has hidden on that ship, but the reason why Tang, a high-level Siren tester, appeared here and targeted the Prince of Wales.

Of course, there is also data generated when the test subject passes through and appears on the battlefield.

The Royal side suffered heavy losses in the fight against the Type III Sirens.

In addition to the heavy losses suffered by the escort fleet, even the fleet led by the Prince of Wales lost a large number of mass-produced ships, and the ship girls were all more or less injured.

But after finally resolving the battle, Yang Sikang directly called all the ship girls of his fleet back to the command ship, and then without waiting for the Prince of Wales, he sailed directly back to the port area.

The Prince of Wales just watched them leave, and after making arrangements for the others, he went to the side and contacted War-weary.

"Your Highness, the battle is over. Commander Yang successfully brought some people and the cargo ship out, but... he already knows that we have hidden something on the ship."

"It can't be helped. How are the things?"

"He didn't go aboard to check."

"Thanks a lot."

After the communication ended, the war-weary people in the port area sighed.

The good news, of course, is that the contents of the cargo ship were saved, and some people were rescued.

But the bad news was equally obvious. The action that the royal family had thought could be concealed was discovered.

However, War-Yan had no choice. She was well aware that the sirens that were lured here were very powerful. She also knew that with the combat power level of this port alone, there was no hope of rescuing the things unless everyone went out.

There is no other option but to ask Yang Sikang for help, so the price of doing so must be borne now.

The Gu Diao returned to the port very quickly, but it did not stay in the port at all. After dropping off the ship girls, Yang Sikang drove the Gu Diao to the original small port of the manor.

The original buildings here had long been destroyed by the battleship's main guns. Although the rebuilt port was still a small port, it was well suited for the docking of the Gu Diao. In addition, a lot of additional equipment was added at Akashi's request, making it suitable for the temporary docking of a variety of cargo ships.

Naturally, they are all of the specifications of Yang Sikang’s cargo ships.
