The Soldiers of Sector V

CHAPTER 20 DEFENCE OF AZUR LANE 

Ohio sails at full speed with his team towards the Azur Lane base in desperation. He tries to radio Anders but he doesn't pick up nothing but static. AK tries to reason for it due to him holding up the defences but it doesn't put Ohio's mind at ease. He tries to get a glimpse of the battlefield from O-H.

O-H tells the team what he sees through his brothers eyes, a lot of burning buildings, debris everywhere, ships destroyed, a lot of Siren ships and Sakura Empire boats and the ship girls holding the line but it's failing and then they could he could see Anders fighting against  Hakuryuu, Kirishima and Izumo. They were impressed with the skills that Anders was showing but it was clear that he wouldn't last forever.

They had no idea why the Sakura Empire was attacking them besides it being a golden opportunity while being distracted with Iron Blood. The conversation gets disrupted as Riga detects two ships that have been trying to tail them for the last 5 mins. Ohio looks to see that they are Iron Blood ships however they weren't sure whether to fire.

Ohio looks to the bow of the Iron blood ship and could see a girl at the bow waving a white flag.

Wolf: You guys will not believe this...

Davis: What?

Wolf: They are waving a white flag at us.

Davis: huh?

Enterprise: Ohio your joking right? that is Iron Blood... the faction that separated from Azur Lane and attacked us and working with the Sirens!

Wolf: Well if you wanna look here.

Ohio throws the binoculars to Enterprise As she has a look and confirms the sight, she even couldn't believe it herself. It was Tirpitz and Heinrich but they weren't sure why they were tailing them. They decide to talk on an open channel to get their attention. Davis gets to the back of the boat and begins to flash Morse code to the two Iron Blood girls in hopes they get the message. For a minute there was no response... then they flash back. Ohio raised it with them with caution however Tirpitz cuts to the chase.

"Captain of the Eagle Union ship we are not your enemy..... we need to talk now!" the sound of urgency in her voice worried Enterprise since she is usually calm and cold being referred to as the "Lonely Queen of the North". She wanted them to slow down so they could catch up, the more they look the more they realise that their ships have been damaged by shellfire but not by the attack before.

Ohio's team slows down to allow Tirpitz and Heinrich to catch up. On a closer inspection it can be seen that their sterns are badly damaged. Ohio could only think of one explanation for this.... They were shot from their own. She greets them but cuts to the chase while apologising for their actions.

Wolf: Alright now that we've caught up can you explain to us what happened to Iron blood?

Tirpitz: It will take a bit....

Wolf: We can talk our way back to base cause we aren't due until a bit later.

Time Skip brought to you by Tirpitz explaining what happen to her sister and about Kurfurst's mind control ability.

Wolf: Well one thing after another I guess.

Enterprise: What is Kurfurst planning... isn't he meant to serve Iron Blood!?

O-H: *laughs* Kurfurst has never bowed to anyone no matter what... he's always caused trouble.

Tirpitz and Heinrich got spooked by the voice of someone that isn't in the room. They were not introduced to O-H yet as Ohio lets out a chuckle at them. "This is O-H he's my ship, trust me he won't bite", "Bite? Captain I am not a dog. *Ahem* Sorry for scarring you I thought it wouldn't be that shocking". However Tirpitz and Heinrich were in total shock but it was going to reach a new level as Riga introduces herself as well.
