Azur Lane: Traveling through time and becoming a Siren!

Chapter 973 General

......

Shortly after the "Holy Light" erupted on the Sakura Empire's side.

The catastrophe in Europe has entered a new phase.

Mount Vesuvius remains shrouded in tranquility.

For some reason, the rampant white substance chose to avoid this place.

The clamor of battles that once filled the air vanished here.

Clemenceau was still preparing something.

Marco Polo sent another urging message.

"Lord Clemenceau, where are you now?"

Clemenceau replied as he prepared, "I am now heading toward the secret hideout you lent us."

"The Tribunal fleet is almost here. We'll rest for a bit and then head to the expo site."

Marco Polo was completely unaware.

He said happily, "Great! Finally, some good news!"

"The time of arrival is approaching, but the noise has not yet subsided... You are still the one I can rely on!"

"Before you join the battle, I also have some good news for you."

"Hmph, do you know that the location of the outpost I lent you was specially chosen by me?"

“It’s just one street away from the Senate’s secret facilities.”

"That's right, it's the facility where the planned ship Flanders is being developed."

"Our collaboration on Flanders is complete."

That's a pleasant surprise.

Clemenceau smiled slightly. Marco Polo was still too naive.

"It's already finished...? That's really unexpected news."

Marco Polo laughed.

"Hahaha~ I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you."

"Lord Clemenceau, I hereby authorize you to activate Flanders."

“You commanded her… no, you personally led her, along with your Inquisition fleet, to the venue.”

“I’ll also have Trento help you.”

"This time, we must get rid of those noisy flies!"

Clemenceau said, "I understand."

"Don't worry, I'll handle these problems. You just focus on the ceremony..."

Before Clemenceau could finish speaking, Marco Polo had already hung up the call.

"Uh oh, should I just hang up...?"

Clemenceau looked toward the crater.

At this moment, she was confident of victory.

"Finishing the game so early is a bit too hasty."

"I thought you'd stay at the gambling table with me a little longer...hehehe."

"it's a pity."

Clemenceau shook his head and raised his hand to tap a few times on the screen in front of him.

At that moment, Kyle sent a message.

"Lord Clemenceau, we are already waiting at our designated location. What do you need us to do next?"

Clemenceau paused his work and said.

"Listen carefully, a planned ship named Flander will be coming to meet you in a little while."

"Although she is a product of our cooperation with the Sardinian Empire, she is completely obedient to the orders of the Inquisition and is absolutely reliable."

"Once she arrives, you will be in charge."

"Then, you need to proceed to the new location I'm sending you and be ready for battle."

"The operational objective is Trento-META, which will soon reach that area."

"When she appears, she will assume you are allies and therefore will not be on guard."

"You should launch a surprise attack and take them down in one fell swoop."

Clemenceau knew the red line that Jiang Mengyue, the arbitrator, was following.

Anyone who dares to kill a ship girl will eventually face arbitration.

The one watching from the shadows might just take action against them.

That won't do; otherwise, the gambling table will be overturned by external forces.

Therefore, Clemenceau gave special instructions.

"However, you must not sink it; just incapacitate it."

"Remember, whatever you do, do not sink it, otherwise it will attract the Sirens' siege, and then no one will be able to save you."

"Report to me after the mission is completed, and then wait for my further orders in place."

"Hmm... perhaps you were too shocked to hear some of it. Should I repeat the command?"

Kael Saint quickly replied, "No, no need... I've already written it all down, Lord Clemenceau!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"very good."

Clemenceau was very satisfied with Kelvin and the others, and they obeyed his orders very well.

Unlike Jean Bart.

However, Jean Bart's resistance was also part of the plan; Clemenceau had already divided the team before Marco Polo's plan began.

In order to facilitate subsequent planning and command.

Everything is planned.

After finishing his communication with Kelvin, Clemenceau turned off all the communication panels in front of him.

She straightened her sleeves and raised her staff.

Then, Mount Vesuvius erupted—

"Judgment-type mech, codenamed 'Domination,' the supreme masterpiece of the Iris Theocracy's Inquisition."

"Thick smoke that blotted out the sun, raging flames, and mecha knights slowly emerging from the firelight."

"What could be more suitable for setting the climax of a play than such a scene?"

"Then, it's about time I really set off..."

"There's one thing I didn't lie about, Marco Polo."

“The road covered by the ‘Scar of God’ is really hard to walk.”

......

At this moment, Marco Polo, seated on his throne, overlooks the world below, awaiting his final audience.

The gleaming crown and throne signify that the grand ceremony is about to be completed.

The seawater was churning violently in the unfathomable depths.

It seems that something is responding to Marco Polo's call.

Marco Polo burst into laughter.

"Hehehe, hehehehe!"

"What a commotion! It truly exudes the aura of a deity's personal presence!"

"My great undertaking is about to be accomplished!"

Let a new era begin—

Before Marco Polo could finish speaking...

Boom!

A strange noise from afar interrupted Marco Polo's triumphant monologue.

"Huh? Mount Vesuvius erupted at this time...?"

Marco Polo took a closer look.

"No, wait, something else flew out of the jet..."

After careful examination, Marco Polo still couldn't figure out what it was.

"That's... a huge... golden mecha knight?"

"They're already flying in the sky, why would they need to ride a horse?"

"No, no, that's not the point!"

"What is this thing...where did it come from?"

Marco Polo watched the mecha knights getting closer and closer.

After a few seconds of blank staring, he realized that the thing was heading straight for him.

Because that mech opened fire!!!

"A laser beam was fired from a bow?!"

Marco Polo panicked.

"Oh no! There's no way to dodge it!!"

boom----

"Whoa-!"

The laser merely grazed the chair, yet it left a horrifying hole in the back of the chair.

In the midst of the immense impact, Marco Polo's prized floating throne trembled violently.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no! My wings are damaged, and I'm losing my balance!"

"Land, we need to land as soon as possible!"

"Falling from that height would definitely result in being smashed to pieces!"

Just then, the communicator crackled to life.

"A communication from Lord Clements...?"

Marco Polo answered immediately.

"Great! Lord Clements, where are you now?!"

"You saw the mecha knights that appeared with the volcanic eruption, didn't you!"

"Really... could this be a secret weapon that Veneto prepared?"

"My throne has been hit; I must make an emergency landing!"

"Don't go to the venue yet, come help me!"

But the reply that came through the communication was not the one Marco Polo wanted.

"When the first seal was opened, I saw a white horse..."

"The knight on horseback carries a bow, and is crowned. He goes out to conquer, and after winning, he wants to win again..."

"Please allow me to introduce this trump card of the Inquisition, the Judgment-type mech—Dominion, a divine machine created by mortals."

"Of course, I have also used the concept of the Knights of Malta to counter your control and regain control of the Judgment Fleet."

"General."

These two words already foreshadow Marco Polo's fate.

PS: Oh no, the number of chapters isn't even anymore. I'll have to post a separate chapter tomorrow to make up for it. It will definitely be a combined two-in-one chapter.
