Elder brother's garrison

Frederick the Great turned his head and looked toward the corner of the conference room.

Shiro and Chaoda also looked curiously towards the corner.

In the corner of the conference room, Kamikaze was leaning against the wall, arms crossed, looking over as if he had something to say.

"Kamikaze, why are you calling me?" Frederick the Great turned his head toward Kamikaze and said slowly.

"Frederick, don't be so harsh on the newcomers~" Kamikaze grinned at Frederick, glanced at Shiro, and said, "Look, the cute newcomers look like they have something to say... They've come to us willingly and admitted to sinking our deep-sea destroyer, so they must have made some preparations that they think will satisfy us, right? As the leader here, fairness, impartiality, and clear rewards and punishments are your principles, aren't they? In that case, why don't you listen to what they have to say first, and then decide whether to take action or forgive them?"

Kamikaze's voice faded into the conference hall.

The deans of the Deep Sea Academy fell into a long silence.

Xiaobai looked at Shenfeng in the corner in surprise.

To my utter surprise... Savoy didn't come to my aid, but this Kamikaze whom Savoy had told me to stay away from, actually stepped in to help me at such a crucial moment...

Could it be that she's actually a good person by accident?

"..." Friedrich pondered Kamikaze's words seriously. After a while, she slowly nodded. "Kamikaze, you're right. I should listen to their opinions before taking any action."

Frederick the Great resumed his standing posture.

The deep-sea atmosphere in the conference room gradually dissipated.

"It's nothing." Kamikaze shrugged, looking at Frederick with anticipation.

"Kamikaze, you did very well this time, and I want to reward you." Just as Kamikaze had expected, Frederick, after a moment of silence, slowly said to Kamikaze, "...What do you want?"

"Hehehe... It's nothing." Kamikaze's gaze fell on Shiro. "If these two newcomers can convince you to give up, then I won't ask for anything... But if their statements don't convince you... then I'd like to make a small request."

"any request?"

"I don't care what you do to her, but you must keep her alive no matter what." Kamikaze stared at Shiro, licked his lips with his pink tongue, and revealed an expectant smile. "Then... in the very end, hand her over to me... do whatever you want with her, and don't interfere."

"?" Xiaobai stared at Shenfeng.

Absolutely!

Xiaobai just thought Kamikaze might be a good person! Turns out his nature is even worse than Savoy's!

No wonder Savoy specifically warned him to stay away from that perverted woman...

Fortunately, Frederick would definitely not agree to such an extravagant request...

“…Yes.” Frederick the Great responded.

"???" Little White stared at Frederick the Great.

Absolutely!

Did they agree so readily?

Seemingly sensing Xiaobai's shocked gaze, Frederick the Great looked at Xiaobai and explained, "Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and there is strict order."

"……"noob.

"No more fighting, so boring and empty—" Sensing Frederick the Great's interest in stopping, Hindenburg squatted down on the ground, feeling bored and grumbling.

Barbarossa's gaze shifted from the little white card back to his own cards. He gently drew a new card and placed it face down on the ground.

"Outsider, how do you intend to explain this?" Frederick the Great asked Little White after a moment of silence.

Xiao Bai sighed as he felt the intense gaze coming from Shen Feng behind him.

After patting Super Yamato's arm to indicate that Super Yamato didn't need to block his way for the time being, Shiro sorted out his thoughts.

“Frederick… cough cough, Frederick.” Little White said to Frederick, “Before explaining this, I actually want to ask, in your ruined city, how much is the life of a Deep Sea Dean compared to a few Deep Sea Frigates?”

Chapter 1960 Little White in Danger

Xiao Bai confidently asked Frederick the Great.

"..." Frederick the Great seemed not to understand Xiaobai's words. She tilted her head slightly and thought for a while, "Outsider, are you asking me which is more valuable, the Deep Sea Frigate or the Deep Sea Dean?"

"Hmm, more or less." Xiaobai nodded. "This answer is quite important to me."

"While the Deepsea Frigates are indeed beings we created, they are now subjects of this city. Therefore, in my eyes, all life is equal," Frederick the Great said to Little White. "However, for this city, the Deepsea Dean, with his greater combat power, leadership, and creativity, possesses even greater value."

"Then what exactly do you mean by that, Frederick...?" Xiaobai asked, frowning.

“As the leader of this city, my personal feelings will not be taken into account,” Frederick the Great said to Little White.

"Oh, so the existence of the Deans of the Deep Sea is more important, right..." Xiaobai understood. She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Knowing this means we're safe."

"Outsider, what is the purpose of your inquiry?"

"Ahem, it's like this." Xiaobai raised his head, patted his chest, and earnestly addressed Frederick the Great, "Regarding what I said before, about the deep-sea frigates you lost being sunk by me, I actually want to explain a little... Although we did sink your deep-sea frigates, it wasn't our intention from the beginning..."

"Your original intention?" Frederick the Great tilted his head slightly.

"It's like this... Me and this Super Yamato next to me, we actually came from another sea area for tourism, wanting to go out and see the world. We crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, came from distant waters, felt the atmosphere of the deep sea here, and wanted to come and pay a visit..." Shiro said, gesturing to Frederick the Great while thinking about the plot in his mind, "Then, a few days ago, we met Miss Zuikaku of the Deep Sea here."

"Hmm, what's next?"

"Well... our encounter with Miss Abyssal Zuikaku wasn't exactly pleasant." Xiaobai thought seriously for a moment, then pretended to sigh and continued, "That day, perhaps to explore the sea area, Miss Abyssal Zuikaku was patrolling the sea with many abyssal frigates when she happened to run into us—as you know, although your abyssal frigates from the ruined city are powerful, they are also volatile and attack any strangers they see. When they saw us, those abyssal frigates immediately regarded us as enemies and came up to fight us."

"..."

"We're the Dean of the Deep Sea, after all. We have our pride, right? We were attacked by the Deep Sea Frigates, so we had to fight back. So we... sigh, poor Miss Zuikaku of the Deep Sea. At first, she wanted to get along with us, but after the Deep Sea Frigates attacked first, she had no choice but to stand on their side and avenge the Deep Sea Frigates that died at our hands... That time, we fought her for days and nights, almost wiping out the entire Deep Sea Fleet..." Xiaobai recounted to Frederick the Great, gesturing wildly as he described the ferocity of the battle, the ruthlessness of the Deep Sea Frigates, and the grievance and despair of Zuikaku of the Deep Sea, who had to fight against us to uphold the city's honor.

Xiao Bai was born and lives in human society. Although Xiao Bai hasn't watched many movies, TV series, novels, or stand-up comedy shows since childhood, he can still easily outdo the deep-sea deans who spend all their time at sea generating their own electricity. Relying on his memory, Xiao Bai can now directly copy down passages from all the war movies, TV series, and romance novels he has ever watched and recount long stories of grudges, entanglements, twists of fate, unbearable suffering, and unforgettable tales.

This is true.

Under Xiaobai's eloquent and lifelike narration, Frederick the Great was completely stunned. Barbarossa held his cards and glanced over from time to time. Even Hindenburg, who had been causing trouble earlier, was gaping, squatting down beside Xiaobai's side with the equally astonished Chao Dahe, watching Xiaobai's performance with wide-eyed amazement.

The crosstalk performance ended.

"In short, although Miss Akami Zuikaku resolved our conflict and established a friendship, the sacrificed Akami escort ships could not be brought back to life. When we tried to ask Miss Akami Zuikaku if we wanted to make compensation, she said nothing, only telling us that she would bear the consequences herself, and then left." Xiaobai said to Frederick the Great with a sigh, "But... I feel like I've known Miss Akami Zuikaku for a long time. I know that Miss Akami Zuikaku will not want to implicate us this time, but I can't just watch her suffer. That's why I came here to find Miss Akami Zuikaku, to help her clear her name, and I hope you will be lenient with her."

Xiaobai has finished speaking.

The atmosphere in the conference hall remained tense for a long time.

The Deans of the Deep Sea Academy watched Xiaobai in silence, savoring the echoes of her words, their hearts churning with turmoil.

"Good! Good! One more! One more!" Deep Sea Hindenburg clapped his hands, stood up, and shouted excitedly to Little White.

"So... it seems that our deep-sea frigates were at fault first." After a while, Frederick the Great, who had been slightly dazed by Xiaobai's wonderful and exciting narration, nodded. She was silent for a moment, and then said to Xiaobai, "Moreover, the deep-sea Zuikaku has always stood on the side of the city and has become a victim of the deep-sea frigates' impulsiveness."

Frederick the Great had no doubt about what Xiaobai said.

Because of Xiaobai's account, it was so vivid and logically consistent that, in the understanding of the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy, it would be impossible to explain the matter so perfectly if they had not experienced it themselves.

"That's right." Xiaobai patted his chest and nodded slightly.

“Hmm…” Frederick the Great was silent for a long while, then said, “In that case, the Deep Sea Zuikaku should not be punished…”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiaobai clasped his hands together and nodded earnestly.

“However… even so.” Frederick the Great’s tone lowered again as she looked up at Little White and said, “As the leader of the city, I must take responsibility for the sunken deep-sea frigates. Although you have proven that this was not your fault, the fact that the deep-sea frigates were sunk has not disappeared. So, I’m sorry, you still have to pay the price for this.”

"I understand," Xiaobai nodded.

"..." Frederick the Great was silent for a moment, "You don't seem to be afraid."

"Ah? No, actually I'm still scared... A true hero takes responsibility for his actions, I have no intention of shirking it." Xiaobai smiled at Frederick the Great, "It's just... I hope to change the form of the price to be paid."

What is form?

"I just asked you guys... which is more valuable, the Deepsea Frigate or the Deepsea Dean? And Frederick, you answered that the Deepsea Dean is more valuable, right?" As Xiaobai spoke, she lowered her head, lifted the hem of her skirt, and reached under it. "Hmm... according to my guess, Frederick, the price you just mentioned, to put it bluntly, is to beat me and Super Dahe up, depending on the severity of the incident, right?"

"No, I also promised Kamikaze that I would hand you over to her to deal with."

“…Hmm…that makes sense…” Xiaobai smiled awkwardly, then shook her head. “Well…anyway, let’s take a look at this first.”

Xiao Bai pulled out more than a dozen quick-repair devices from under her skirt one after another, then threw them on the ground with a clatter, stacking them into a small spire.

“…What is this?”

“This is White Camel Mountain Bone Strengthening Powder,” Xiao Bai said seriously. “Just put it on your head and it can help Dean Shenhai recover his strength—in a sense, it’s like a special treatment. If he has suffered a serious injury, it can save Dean Shenhai’s life… As for the clinical effects, Miss Savoy has tried it before. You can ask her if you don’t believe me.”

"..." Frederick looked at Savoy.

“It’s true.” Savoy raised his hands, somewhat annoyed that Xiaobai had dragged him out of the audience, but still replied, “The effect was outstanding.”

"Look," Xiaobai said to Frederick, "These dozen or so pieces of Quick Repair... cough cough, White Camel Mountain Bone Strengthening Powder, consider this my payment to you. In a sense, this is equivalent to the lives of a dozen or so Deep Sea Deans. To you, that should be slightly more important than the same number of Deep Sea Frigates, right?"

"..." Frederick the Great stepped forward, bent down to pick up a piece of the rapid repair device, held it in his palm, gently squeezed it, and said in agreement, "If what you say is true... for the development of the city, these dozen or so pieces of White Camel Mountain Bone Strengthening Powder are of extraordinary value."

"Isn't this much better than beating us up?" Little White asked Frederick with a smile, his hands behind his back.

"..." Frederick the Great remained silent, then looked up and faced Little White head-on with his head covered in gauze.

Xiao Bai could sense that Frederick the Great was watching him through the eyes behind the gauze.

After a while.

Frederick lowered his hands and nodded slightly.

"Outsiders."

"I'm here."

"Thank you for your contributions," Frederick the Great said calmly, "and thank you for your honesty and magnanimity."

"Frederick means... he's willing to forgive us?"

"Yes." Frederick the Great nodded.

"Friends! Friends!" Hindenburg raised his hands and jumped up and down happily.

Xiao Bai patted his chest and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

They managed to fool these ignorant deep-sea deans with just a few dozen quick repairs... Luckily, these deep-sea deans are inexperienced, otherwise it would have been really difficult to handle them...

Xiaobai glanced furtively at Shenfeng.

Frederick the Great's willingness to forgive his "crimes" meant that Kamikaze's demands had failed.

Xiaobai thought that Shenfeng would show some disappointment at this moment, but to her surprise, when Xiaobai looked at Shenfeng again, Shenfeng was still in high spirits and did not feel disappointed at all that her plan had failed.

Kamikaze bit his crimson lips at Shiro, opened his mouth, and licked his snow-white canine teeth with his pink tongue.

Xiao Bai shuddered.

Chapter 1961 Testing the Truth

"Friends! Friends!" Hindenburg's voice echoed in the empty conference hall.

After the transaction between Shiro and Frederick the Great was completed, Hindenburg excitedly raised his hands and ran over to Shiro and Super Yamato, circling around them and excitedly celebrating.

"welcome!"

"Thank you, Miss Deepsea Hindenburg..." Xiaobai smiled at Deepsea Hindenburg.

"It's a pity we can't fight! But being friends is great!" Hindenburg's face was full of innocent and carefree smiles. "The story we just heard was super interesting!"

"Thank you... um... I'm also very happy to get along peacefully with you Deep Sea Deans..." Xiaobai smiled at the Deep Sea Hindenburg who had come closer.

The Deepsea Hindenburg stopped in front of Little White.

She stepped forward, grabbed Xiaobai's hand, and jumped around excitedly as she spoke to Xiaobai, her expectant eyes seemingly piercing through the single eye patch onto Xiaobai's face: "Tell a story, continue, continue!"

"what?"

"The story that just happened!"

"Uh... are you referring to my relationship with Ms. Fukami Zuikaku? That's already been told..."

"I want to hear more!"

"...But there really is no follow-up..." Xiaobai forced a smile at Deepsea Hindenburg.

“Say it again!” Hindenburg of the Deep Sea took Little White’s hand in his, brought it close to Little White’s face, his snow-white face almost touching Little White’s face, “Because, there is plenty of time!”

“…Uh… well… if you don’t mind, Miss Hindenburg… that’s fine too.” Xiaobai gave Hindenburg a wry smile.

Deep Sea Hindenburg seems quite fascinated by the storytelling ability he just displayed... Storytelling... Human society has everything, but it has no shortage of stories. If Little White could, she could even tell Deep Sea Hindenburg a story for seven days and seven nights without repeating herself.

However... Xiaobai has just used his story to convince these deep-sea deans to be allies. If he were to reveal his amateur stand-up comedy skills now, it would be bad to arouse suspicion.

"Once I meet Miss Deep Sea Zuikaku, I'll make some time to find you and tell you stories, okay?" Xiaobai asked Deep Sea Hindenburg calmly.

"Okay!" Upon hearing Little White's promise, Deepsea Hindenburg grinned with joy and placed Little White's hand on his head.
