Chapter 716: Send-off

Looking at the battlefield from afar, the eyes of the high-ranking officials of all factions were filled with shock.

The Royal King George V said slowly in the communicator: "Indeed, it's a war we cannot get close to; speaking purely of firepower, although we have many numbers, a single Ember mountain city already equals the firepower of our current United Fleet, right?"

"Although I'd like to say it's not, the fact is indeed so; this kind of power is truly cheating." Sakura Empire's Zuikaku clicked their tongue.

"Huh?" Iron Blood's Bisimai's voice appeared, "You Sakura Empire didn't participate in the initial battle with the Arbiters, did you?"

"No, at that time Qin Ge's commander fleet split into two routes to simultaneously assist Donghuang and Sakura Empire; it was Qin Ge's commander fleet that encountered the Arbiters, not assisting us." Zuikaku explained.

"Is that so?" After learning this information, Bisimai stopped speaking and just silently watched the battlefield ahead.

At this moment, White Eagle's Enterprise said, "The battlefield situation has become quite clear now; although the Arbiters are still resisting, the situation is gradually turning toward the Embers... no, toward us, this battle finally has an ending."

"But, is this really the ending?" The Soviet Union looked at the distant battlefield and said.

"After this incident, the world's situation will become even more confusing. Although Commander Qin Ge mentioned the Ember issue, after the Arbiters retreat, they remain destabilizing factors."

"So what? Is the Northern Union preparing to intervene in the Ember's future?" The free Iris's Lisailiu said lightly.

"I'm just worried, and if we intervene, we currently lack the qualifications." The Soviet Union, although not giving a definite answer, also did not deny.

"Although unwilling to admit it, just as Yixian and Akagi Kaga had anticipated, Commander Qin Ge has become a force we cannot ignore..." The Sardinian Empire's Weineituo said, pausing here.

"It is a force that must not be ignored; relying on his fleet and his ambiguous relationship with the Embers, he will inevitably become the guide of this world thereafter."

"You don't need to worry." Donghuang's Anshan spoke up.

"Oh, does Donghuang have any other discoveries?" The Soviet Union asked, and others also focused their attention.

Anshan's voice came from the communicator: "For Commander Qin Ge, his heart has no factional barriers; you can also see the performance of this Siren Tide, and I believe you also know."

Furthermore, he did not choose to preserve strength and hide in a corner just because the opponent was strong; in battle, his fleet always charges ahead, although having many numbers is one aspect, but he can also choose to wear you down.

Moreover, Yixian sister said that if we want to truly unite, this choice is the best.

"It seems Donghuang holds a high evaluation of Commander Qin Ge." Enterprise smiled.

"Doesn't White Eagle hold a high opinion either?" Xianghe beside Zuikaku pursed their lips, but did not say it out.

"Everyone, please shift your gaze to the battlefield ahead; talking about this now is somewhat inappropriate." King George V said.

"Furthermore, we have all interacted with Commander Qin Ge; we believe you all know what kind of person he is. If it weren't for his righteous intervention this time, our other factions would likely suffer catastrophic disaster."

"Let's leave future problems for later; as long as Commander Qin Ge does not violate the principles of Azure Lane nor go against his own morality, then his strength is something we welcome."

After King George V finished speaking, no more sound came from the communicator, falling into a long period of silence.

The high-ranking officials of all factions turned their gaze toward the distant battlefield, but in their hearts they weighed the words just spoken by King George V.

On the not-so-distant battlefield, the Arbiter Hermes looked at the several Ember attacks ahead; although their side was suppressed, her face showed no trace of tension.

"Mechanism System IⅩ=ⅩⅣ linked interference mechanism, activate."

With Hermes' action, a strong electromagnetic pulse was emitted, the first to be hit being Memphis and Mountain City.

"Weapon systems are being interfered with; emergency repairs start now, please rely on you for the rest." Memphis quickly disengaged from direct contact and retreated toward the rear of the Ember forces.

"Understood."

With a clear, cold response, a black iron chain quickly approached, the Siteliankus pursuing Memphis and Mountain City.

And immediately after this black iron chain, Scharnhorst's figure appeared before the two. She looked at the halted Siteliankus and said, "Now, your opponent is me."

"Hmph, you guys are really troublesome." Although saying that, Siteliankus's hand movements did not stop in the slightest.

Blue barrages surged from her ship equipment, rushing toward Scharnhorst.

Faced with the sky-filling barrage, Scharnhorst did not, like the previous Flying Dragon, wave a long blade and cut with blade aura; instead, she tightened her grip on the iron chain and flung it out, the black iron chain accompanied by black-red lightning instantly clearing the sky-filling barrage.

"This move is useless against me." Scharnhorst said while rotating the turret on her ship equipment, aiming the shells at Siteliankus and firing fiercely.

The shells exploded violently in front of Siteliankus; although there was a gravity shield's aid, the Ember's shells were not as easy to dodge as Qin Ge's shipgirl shells before.

After the smoke cleared, Siteliankus's ship equipment before everyone's eyes had begun to suffer damage.

"The strike is effective, but meaningless." The damaged Siteliankus paid no heed to their own injuries, instead remaining very calm as they said to Scharnhorst facing them.

"Repair module, activate……"

With Siteliankus's voice, the damage to her ship equipment was being repaired at a visible speed; after a short while, the ship equipment was fully restored, with no trace of having taken several shells.

Scharnhorst did not seem surprised by this result, still swinging the iron chain in hand while attacking: "The number of times the repair module can be activated is limited; if you don't receive timely supplies, how many times can you repair? I don't know if I have more than you."

Facing Scharnhorst's questioning, Siteliankus did not answer but instead accelerated the attack rhythm.

Likewise, on the other side, Hermes also quickened the attack pace with Tepalans.

As time slowly passed, the battlefield gradually compressed into a smaller area; although the Arbiters' linkage mechanism remained active, after becoming familiar with them, the people naturally had a way to break their cooperative mechanism.

"Can't hold on anymore?" The keen-eyed Flying Dragon noticed the Arbiters' conditions, then curled the corners of their mouth and smiled, "Then it's time to give you a finishing blow."

"Everyone, activate half overload, send off those ahead!"

"Understood!"
