Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 1056: Shadow of Scapa Flow ②

"Your Majesty, the sea has turned red."

"I know, keep going and stay alert."

Elizabeth received Befa's reminder immediately, but the current situation did not allow her to relax any more.

Part of the royal fleet disappeared quietly during the battle. Although Elizabeth immediately noticed the abnormal disappearance of the fleet members, she had no way to prevent this from happening again.

The result was that after guarding against the entire battle, not only was nothing guarded against, but the enemy also separated their fleet.

Although Belfast and Sheffield were still here, Hermione and the other maids, including Edinburgh, disappeared with the others. The same went for George V and the Duke of York. Only Warspite escaped being taken away because of his keen intuition.

"When the enemy ships were destroyed, some gray fog appeared. It was unlike the fog mentioned in the previous report. However, once you get caught in it, your communication will be quickly cut off and you will be unable to escape from it. After about a minute, you will lose contact and disappear along with the gray fog."

War-weary quickly described what he had encountered and seen, and gave a detailed description through the video he had made on the spur of the moment.

But after everyone gathered together urgently to listen to her description, Elizabeth still frowned.

"Communications were cut off and there was no trace. It only took about a minute, and it happened right in front of us."

Elizabeth repeated it and said:

"Befa, how is our communication?"

"The close-range communications between fleets are normal, but we are unable to contact the missing fleet members or Commander Yang's fleet."

"Humph, as expected. However, this is also to be expected. Fortunately, the people who were taken away were also prepared, so there shouldn't be any big problems. However, it's not a good feeling to be led by the nose... Beifa, how is the seawater sampling going?"

"The samples collected did not show any abnormalities. It seemed that the sea water had only turned red visually, but the reason was unknown."

"The visual effect, the reason is unknown, and our fleet was intentionally separated. And we don't know what's going on with Yang Sikang. This can't be a coincidence, War-weary!"

"Please give your orders, Your Majesty."

Elizabeth raised her hand and pointed to the side:

"The plan has changed. Let's turn now and head towards Scapa Flow! If nothing goes wrong, the mirror-like sea area we are in now should include Scapa Flow.

No matter what monsters there are, this is the most obvious target. Commander Yang and King George V will definitely be heading that way, so let's meet up there!

The job of clearing the way is now up to you. Help me break through the obstacles ahead!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"So, how long do we have to wait?!"

Hipper complained again in dissatisfaction. Eugen, who had heard enough of her complaints, blocked her ears with her fingers. After Hipper finished venting, she let go and patted her body.

"Don't worry, although I didn't expect to have to wait this long, it's worth it to wait this long."

"I don't know the goal, the destination, or even when to leave. How can I not be anxious?"

Hipper complained:

"At least you should know one thing!"

"Anyway, we'll know when we set out, okay, okay..."

When Eugen was about to continue fooling around, she suddenly stopped, turned her head with a smile, and then looked at Hipper:

"Sister, please wait here for a while. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."

"Huh?! What are you doing? Hey, wait a minute!"

"I'll leave this to you~"

Eugen left without looking back. Hipper glared at her with dissatisfaction, then turned with a sour face to look at the Z-Drivers who were looking at this side curiously.

"Wait a little longer!"

After leaving the area where the fleet was, Prince Eugen walked around and made sure that no one was following him before turning and heading to the lighthouse.

As soon as she came up, she saw the person she expected and laughed cheerfully:

"Oh, I thought you wouldn't come back here."

Bismarck glanced at her, then sat down on the edge of the bed, resting his elbows on the headboard and supporting his head.

"You gathered the fleet, it can't be that you are waiting for me?"

"Of course not, but aren't you curious about what we are going to do? This is a rare time for us to go out on a large scale, don't you want to know what we are going to do?"

"I'm not curious, nor am I interested. What you are going to do has nothing to do with me, so you don't need to report to me."

"But we are going to help Commander Yang Sikang who is trapped in the dangerous Mirror Sea. Doesn't this have anything to do with you?"

Bismarck opened his eyes and looked at her when he heard this, but she quickly closed them again.

"Not interested in."

Prince Eugen was a little surprised, but before she could say anything else, Bismarck said:

"Without his advance arrangements, you can't have made such a big preparation here in advance, right? Since he has made arrangements, it means he has his own plans."

Prince Eugen raised his eyebrows, and Bismarck continued:

"I won't go with you, so don't waste your time here. Instead of dealing with me here, you might as well go back now. Maybe you can leave soon."

"It seems that you know a lot of things after coming back this time."

Prince Eugen sighed helplessly, and Bismarck looked at her and said expressionlessly:

"This has nothing to do with you."

Prince Eugen sighed in disappointment. The little bit of expectation in her heart was extinguished at once, and she lost interest immediately. She thought it was very interesting, but it was completely different from what she expected. She immediately prepared to go back.

But before she left, Bismarck asked:

"You seem to have high expectations of him, just because of 'us' existence?"

Prince Eugen stopped, turned around, looked up at Bismarck who was looking down at him, and smiled slightly:

"Actually, although I am also very interested in you, this is after all irrelevant to me, so it is not that important. However, he was able to bring Yorktown back to this world, bring Taiho of the Sakura Empire to the world, and let the proposed ship that only exists in historical documents be born on the sea. This is enough."

Prince Eugen looked Bismarck in the eye and said in a brisk tone:

"Iron Blood will never admit defeat, and will never give up hope. As long as the desired result can be achieved, it doesn't matter what means are used. Although we are different from you, for us, as long as it can provide help, we are willing to try no matter what it is."

Under Bismarck's gaze, Prince Eugen left the lighthouse.

After Prince Eugen left, Bismarck said softly:

"You've seen everything, right?"

"I saw it, very clearly."

A small flying vehicle only half the size of a fist appeared next to Bismarck, and Yubari's voice came from this little thing.

"The iron-blooded people in this world seem very interesting. No wonder you sisters all commented on it that way. I roughly understand it, so the next action will be based on your suggestion."

"it is good."

The corners of Bismarck's mouth curled up slightly.
