Titans of iron blood

The art of war

Little Mika POV

Little Mika: LM to Hotarubi. Systems are all green?

Comms: Hotarubi to LM. Systems are all green. All personnel: Dimension Jump proceeding in 3. 2. 1. Drive Engaged. 

A sudden jolt rocked the ship and we lurched forward. Once we got there, I  got a PT boat I "borrowed", got Shino, Eugene, Mika, and more of the bois to destroy a few squads. Don't worry. They  had training. 

We figured out Akihiro and Eugene would be the loaders for the torps and auto-cannon from a P39. The others fired and reloaded the brownings, boeffers, rocket launchers, and mortars. Yeah. We had a good time. Destroyed about 30 of them? I dunno. Maybe more. Shino and I downed about 7 shots of torpedo juice while Invictus tried desperately to stop us. 

All the while we were blasting wellerman:

The next day I flew a talon shrike to fly a reconnaissance patrol. On the halfway back, I spotted 2 full battalions. I quickly tapped into their comms and listened. They were gonna destroy Azur lane's headquarters! I cloaked, radioed base and engaged. I dived down and opened up my bomb bay. The missiles homed to the heat signatures and fire lit up the sea. I shot down some aircraft in my way and returned back to Invictus.  As soon as I landed, I sent a message to Enterprise that looks corrupted to any outside viewer. Invictus then took off and we started formulating a plan.

Enterprise POV

I was wandering around the island when my receiver pinged and I looked at the message. 

Receiver was pinged by unknown user. Message is:

Beginning scrubbing protocols.

I looked at it and I saw the number 2 through the corruption. My mind raced. What did the 2 mean? I raced to Prince of Wales and showed her the message. 

Prince of Wales: Whatever this is, I am going to assume it is an important message. 

Enterprise: Right. My systems are cleaning it right now. 

Suddenly, my systems pinged again. It said:

Message decoded: 2 Battalions headed to island.

Prince of Wales: What!?!
