THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
With the Azur Lane fleet, the ships continue to fire at the enemy ships when suddenly Oklahoma realizes that enemy planes are coming.
Oklahoma: [Enemy planes spotted!]
The light cruisers focused on anti-air defense quickly took their positions and began firing anti-aircraft guns at the aircraft of the fifth division. Meanwhile, Zuikaku and Shokaku are hovering in the sky, heading towards the Azur Lane fleet. Shokaku plays her flute while several planes take off from her flight deck.
Many Red Axis planes are shot down by overwhelming anti-aircraft fire, Zuikaku and Shokaku land in the sea very close to the Azur Lane fleet.
Zuikaku: Where are you, Grey Ghost?
They continued sailing while searching for the strongest kansen of the entire Azur Lane organization when they are intercepted by two cruisers from the Royal Navy.
Suffolk: The enemy looks very powerful.
Norfolk: I will do my best.
The two cruisers began firing at the fifth division, but no projectile manages to hit the enemy and the fifth division easily shakes off those two cruisers.
Shokaku: I'm very sorry, but we don't have time to play with you.
In that, several planes from the fifth division are intercepted by several planes from the Eagle Union.
Zuikaku: (Looking at the American planes) Interceptors? Are they from the ghost?
Shokaku: Wait! You can't rush like that!
Zuikaku does not obey and she continues to sail wherever she wants, on the other hand, Columbia had already sunk several enemy battleships and cruisers.
Albacore: We have already sunk most of the mermaid fleet.
Me: Good job.
At that moment, the sonar detects that several ships are approaching them, and by the sound, they are destroyers.
Me: Leave this place, the enemy destroyers are coming for us.
The girls nod and start to leave, Columbia fires several torpedoes to stir the sea a bit.
Me: Girls, turn off your sonars.
BOOMMM!
Several explosions reverberate behind the submarine fleet and the torpedoes had detonated to agitate the sea and make detection more difficult. The Red Axis destroyers, who had noticed the presence of the submarines, quickly sailed towards the position of the Columbia fleet to search for them and then bombard them with depth charges. However, Columbia had used several torpedoes to hinder the work of the destroyers.
Kisaragi: Explosions in front of us!
Fubuki: What the hell? Are these defective enemy torpedoes?
Akatsuki: No, the function of those torpedoes was to interfere with our sonar, the sea is very rough and full of noise, we cannot detect the enemy.
Mutsuki: But if we can't see the enemy, they wouldn't be able to see us either, right?
Akatsuki: I don't know.
Fubuki: Torpedoes in the water! Heading 3-6-0!
The girls look in the direction of the scream and they see 3 torpedoes sailing towards them, quickly they broke formation to evade the torpedo.
Akatsuki: How is it possible that they have located us if the sonar is inoperable?
The HUWS torpedoes of TIER II deviated towards their targets and hit the empire's destroyers without any issues. Due to the impact, they were left with severe injuries, but not dead.
Me: (Looking at everything through the periscope) I used the weakest torpedo against them and still managed to inflict severe damage on them. Were the weapons in MW really that overpowered? I think I need to be very careful when using these weapons.
Meanwhile, with the spies, unfortunately they were found by the Iron Blood fleet and they began to fight. At first, the spies were at a disadvantage because it was a 2 against 6 battle, but fortunately for the British, the rescue fleet arrived in time.
Belfast: Are you okay?
Sheffy: We are fine.
Edinburgh: Not good at all! We are surrounded by the enemy!
Eugen: Ara, but look who we have here... it's Belfast.
Z1: Well, it seems like our enemies have increased a bit, but that doesn't affect the outcome at all.
Eugen: Yes, we won and you lost.
Belfast: Doesn't it influence the outcome? But what are you saying... as far as I know, the empire's fleet is being forced to retreat.
Eugen: I don't know what you're talking about. You don't have the advanced technology of the empire and Iron Blood to force the empire to retreat. I think serving that foolish queen has inflated your pride a bit. Well, I'll believe you if it's about Enterprise; she can be quite bothersome.
Belfast: Why don't you call and confirm it?
Eugen: I don't care, besides, we will win this battle no matter how many come, after all, I am very powerful. Belfast may be powerful, but you are just a light cruiser and your armor is like paper. We win.
Enterprise: Tell me, who decided it?
In the face of Enterprise's powerful voice, all the girls of Iron Blood felt their skin crawl with fear.
Eugen: (Shock) Enterprise? If you're here... How could they push back the empire's fleet?
Enterprise: And who said I'm the only powerful shipgirl in Azur Lane? There are more powerful shipgirls. It's not my problem if you underestimate the power of my friends. What do you say, Eugen? Are you giving up? Are you going to run with your tail between your legs, or will you keep fighting to the end?
Z1: (Trying to attack Enterprise) How dare you mock us!?
Enterprise looks at Z1 with a bloodthirst that makes Z1 freeze in fear and do nothing.
Eugen: Alright, you won today, we're leaving.
Z1: (Trembling with fear) But leader.
Eugen: No, this time they won.
The Iron Blood girls began to withdraw one by one.
Z23: Don't think you won the war!
After saying all this, Z23 also leaves with a bad mood.
Enterprise: [VIP Insured, we are withdrawing]
Meanwhile, Zuikaku and Shokaku sail towards where the American planes are heading to refuel when, from the thick fog, the figure of someone starts to become visible. Zuikaku, very excited, unsheathes her sword to attack when she realizes that this aircraft carrier is not the Enterprise.
Zuikaku: (angry) Damn you! You're not Enterprise!
On the Zuikaku, Pura Ira attacks Hornet, who is the owner of those planes. Hornet dodges Zuikaku's sword strike and she puts her foot out, causing Zuikaku to trip over Hornet's foot. Zuikaku goes flying several meters until she manages to stabilize herself and land in the sea without any problems.
Hornet: I'm very sorry, but I think you got the wrong ship.
Shokaku: Zuikaku! We have to go! The enemy is starting to come to this place!
Zuikaku: Damn Gray Ghost! Don't think you've won!
From the bottom, it could be seen that the Azur Lane fleet was coming to meet Hornet.
Hornet: (Does the trolling dance) ... You fell right into my lie, you should have seen your furious face.
Without anything else to do, the fifth division has to retreat, otherwise they could be captured by Azur Lane. After gathering, the Azur Lane fleet returned to the base.
