Elder brother's garrison

Page 1387

"Before?" Elizabeth was taken aback, seemingly having no recollection of it at all.

"That was when Admiral Haoding sailed into the deep-sea territory to directly confront the super giants..."

Little White gestured and spoke vividly to Elizabeth, but as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Elizabeth's still puzzled expression and suddenly realized something was wrong, so she quickly shut her mouth.

Oh.

Oops.

When I first met Elizabeth and Haoding, it seemed I was still under Loki's disguise... using the alias Pachina... No wonder I recognized Elizabeth, but Elizabeth didn't recognize me.

"Cough...cough cough cough..." Xiaobai coughed twice quickly, and then whispered to Elizabeth, "Well...so, after my Pachina came back from the last expedition, she told me that she had seen you, so I remembered you."

"Miss Pachina?!" Upon hearing the name Pachina, Elizabeth's expression lit up with surprise, and her attitude towards Xiaobai instantly became much warmer. "Admiral Lu Lin, are you referring to Miss Pachina, who helped us at sea before?"

"……Um."

"I never expected that a ship girl like me would be remembered by Miss Pachina... I am truly flattered..." Elizabeth murmured in surprise, then bowed to Shiro in front of everyone, "On behalf of the naval base, I would like to thank Miss Pachina again for her great help last time!"

"No...you're welcome, you're welcome..." Xiaobai replied, scratching his cheek.

Sure enough, after I brought out my alternate account, the other side's enthusiasm increased significantly...

It's a good thing, even though it's a good thing.

However, the feeling of being thanked by the other person but having to listen as if you were someone else is still quite subtle.

Elizabeth blinked, looked at Xiaobai in silence for a while, then looked up at the ship girls behind Xiaobai and asked Xiaobai with an expectant look.

"Admiral Lu Lin".

"I'm here."

"Excuse me... is Ms. Pachina still in your team? I'm a little embarrassed to say that we haven't had a proper chance to thank her in person since she helped us last time... If Ms. Pachina has some free time, I'd like to invite her to come over here..." Elizabeth's face flushed slightly, like a little fan girl timidly asking her idol for a chance to have dinner.

Thump, thump, boom.

Elizabeth's voice was clear and melodious.

But what Elizabeth said almost scared Xiaobai's little heart out.

They want to see Pachina again...

How can we call someone out separately like this...?

pachina is his own pseudonym.

There is indeed a person named Pachina in the naval base, but that person is not a ship girl. Instead, she is the pure-blooded and talented Dean of the Luji Deep Sea. Although she stays obediently by his side, the degree of her taming is still unknown. Xiaobai is not comfortable letting her be alone with the ship girls of Haoding Naval Base.

And at the end of the day.

What they really want to see isn't the real Pachina, but rather their alternate account...

Back in the deep-sea territory, he relied on the dim lighting, noise, and the critical situation to prevent the other side from observing him closely. He managed to fool them by using a disguised ship. But now, with the bright lighting here and a bunch of ship girls looking at him with adoring eyes, Xiaobai suspects that if he disguises himself again, he will most likely be recognized by these bored ship girls.

Loki's disguise is just a disguise, not mimicry or transformation.

"Uh." Xiaobai put down her hand, thought for several seconds, and still decided that she couldn't do anything reckless. She could only reply apologetically, "I'm sorry, she... she didn't come this time."

"Huh? They didn't come? They clearly have such a powerful fighting force..." Elizabeth was taken aback.

“…She…um…her energy expenditure…was too high, so…” Xiaobai stammered.

"I see." Elizabeth suddenly realized, and she apologized to Xiaobai with some disappointment, "It was my carelessness... After all, going to such a far place as Chapter 8 is indeed quite difficult for a strategic-level ship girl like Miss Pachina... I'm very sorry, even though I'm just a ship girl, I still asked Admiral Lu Lin for her decisions too much..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Xiaobai wanted to end the topic of her alternate account as soon as possible. "Well, now that my identity has been confirmed, may I ask if the ship girls behind me can follow me?"

"of course can!"

Chapter 1803 You reported it to the police, but was it all worth it?

At Xiaobai's waving signal, the ship girls from the newbie naval base stepped forward.

"Xiaobai, have you made contact with the ship girls at Haoding Naval Base?" As the face of this expeditionary fleet, Akagi was the first to approach Xiaobai. She first gave Elizabeth a polite smile, then looked at Xiaobai and asked her gently.

"It's all over now," Xiaobai nodded.

"Dear comrades, on behalf of all the ship girls of Haoding Naval Base, we welcome you all." Elizabeth bowed deeply to the ship girls of Xiaobai. "My name is Elizabeth, it's a pleasure to meet you all."

“It’s a new ship girl.” Akagi smiled slightly as she looked at Elizabeth, who was bowing with her head down.

"Huh?" Elizabeth looked up, puzzled, at Akagi.

"The communication between the top ten naval bases isn't as infrequent as you might think. A few years ago... about three or four years ago, I even led a group of sisters to your naval base for a friendly exercise." Akagi smiled gently at Elizabeth. "—Ah. Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? My name is Akagi, and I'm an aircraft carrier ship girl. When I went to your naval base, I don't think I had seen you there before. Were you only recently created by your admiral?"

“Ah…yes…” Elizabeth stared blankly at Akagi’s smiling face, feeling a gentle, elder-like warmth wash over her. She involuntarily lowered her head, making a demure gesture like a junior. “I was built by the Admiral three years ago…”

"To reach the position of secretary ship in just three years, your future is limitless," Akagi said with a gentle smile, her eyes full of approval.

“…Thank you for the compliment.” Elizabeth smiled, as if she had been praised by an elder.

Xiaobai breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that Elizabeth and the other yellow-hatted ship girls had all turned their attention to Akagi.

The ship girls of Haoding Garrison are among the top ten in the world. They are all battle-hardened. At their level, they don't even need to sense the aura of the deep sea. They have already honed their sharp eyes through years of accumulated combat experience.

Abyssal Deans like Yamato and Loki, who have perfectly integrated into human society and whose demeanor and speech are no different from ordinary ship girls except for their fair skin, are fine. However, the other Abyssal Deans are relatively inexperienced in the ways of the world, and their unique Abyssal aura is sometimes present and sometimes absent. Even if they wear Abyssal aura shielding devices, they might still inadvertently give themselves away to the ship girls of Haoding Naval Base.

So after the ship girl stepped forward, Abyssal Yamato led the other Abyssal Deans to hide among the other ship girls, using them to conceal their bodies as much as possible. Xiaobai was also worried that these ship girls would stare at the Abyssal Deans in the crowd.

Fortunately, Akagi managed to attract Elizabeth and the others' attention with just a few words, and she also used her warm elder aura to keep them completely under her thumb, so she no longer had to worry about them noticing Abyssal Yamato and the others.

"Elizabeth, by the way, what are you doing on the beach?" Little White asked Elizabeth.

"Admiral Lu Lin, we are building a house," Elizabeth replied earnestly, turning to Xiaobai.

"...Yes, I know it's about building a house..." Little White covered her mouth and smiled sheepishly at Elizabeth, "But the reason for building the house is..."

"It's like this. The Admiral told us a few days ago that Admiral Lu Lin would soon be leading the naval base's forces to support us. Now that Chapter 8 is completely bare, we can't let Admiral Lu Lin, a delicate girl, suffer from the wind and rain in this place full of deep-sea atmosphere. So we have to take responsibility and prepare accommodations for everyone." Elizabeth said, smiling gently at everyone. "Then... since the houses prepared for Admiral Lu Lin have already started construction, our Admiral waved his hand and said that we should just build a house that can accommodate all the ship girls who are clearing Chapter 8, and at the same time build the Admiral's Guild and the warehouse for stockpiling resources. So the situation has become what you just saw, Admiral Lu Lin."

Elizabeth spoke very casually.

Xiao Bai stared blankly for a long time at the cluster of buildings in the distance behind Elizabeth.

"Uh...so you mean...those buildings took you more than a month to construct?"

"Exactly."

"..." Xiaobai looked at Elizabeth with complicated feelings, but still sincerely thanked Elizabeth, "...Thank you."

These ship girls managed to build a massive complex in just one month, a feat that would normally take human cities at least two or three years to develop... This achievement made Xiaobai wonder if these ship girls had misallocated their skill points...

Regardless, I'm truly grateful to have a place to stay in Chapter 8.

Xiao Bai was still very grateful to Admiral Hao Ding.

“It’s not convenient to talk here… How about I take you all to find our admiral first?” Elizabeth asked the group for their opinions.

"Okay, thank you for your help... I was just about to ask Admiral Haoding about the progress of the eighth chapter's walkthrough..." Xiaobai replied.

Upon hearing about the progress of Chapter 8, Elizabeth's face revealed a helpless and embarrassed expression that even a novice could understand. This expression was quickly concealed. Elizabeth then turned around and, instead of pointing to the beach behind her, pointed to the wilderness some distance away from the beach, and addressed the group.

"Please follow me. That's where our admiral is right now."

"Huh? Isn't it on the beach?"

“The beach is right by the sea, and the pollution from the deep-sea resentment is too severe. Even our admiral can’t stay there 24 hours a day…” Elizabeth paused slightly, looking at Xiaobai with some curiosity, “Even here, even though it’s some distance from the sea, the concentration of deep-sea resentment in the air is not small. We ship girls don’t care—admiral Lu Lin, don’t you feel a little short of breath?”

"Huh? Uh... I..." Xiaobai was startled. She quickly scratched her hair and smiled apologetically at Elizabeth. "Hmm... now that you mention it, it's true."

When the aura of the deep sea becomes too concentrated, it can indeed put a burden on the human body. However, Xiaobai is equipped with land-based ship equipment, and her physique is no different from that of a ship girl. So far, she has even consumed a lot of the deep-sea deity's metal. This kind of lowly thing called aura of the deep sea is no different from air to Xiaobai.

of course.

This characteristic must not be known to Elizabeth.

So Xiaobai quickly coughed twice, pretending to be choked by the smoke, and gave Elizabeth an embarrassed smile.

Elizabeth believed Xiaobai and quickly called to her companions, leading Xiaobai and her ship girls towards the side of the wilderness.

"Admiral Lu Lin, are you feeling any better?" After walking for a while and getting a little further away from the sea, when the deep-sea atmosphere in the air was much weaker, Elizabeth turned around and asked Xiaobai with concern.

"Hmm, I feel much better..." Xiaobai smiled at Elizabeth, pretending to feel much better, and then asked curiously, "Um... Elizabeth, speaking of which, since it's not safe to live on the beach, why did you build structures there?"

"The buildings over there on the beach aren't for Admiral Lu Lin and your crew to live in; they're for the ship girls who are stationed on the beach at night," Elizabeth replied. "Of course, there are also some resource storage areas there."

"Huh? That building where people live is..."

“Of course it was built there,” Elizabeth said, pointing to the distant wilderness.

At the edge of the horizon, hidden by dry branches and soft earth, a secluded valley slowly emerges. Within the valley stand various villas, some European, some Chinese, some Japanese in style…

"There were more?!" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, it’s wonderful to have undivided land. This land is free. We can build all sorts of houses or cultivate fields at will without needing to ask permission from our superiors,” Elizabeth sighed. “For the past month, we’ve been like pioneers in history, leaving our mark on this land with our sweat and hands, hammering it with fire, and treading it with our feet. Hundreds of years from now, the people living on this land will be our children, and they will enjoy the shade we left behind… Whenever I think of this, the sense of accomplishment that wells up in my heart makes us very happy during this time.”

Really.

How could a farming/farming game not be fun...?

I understand the reason.

But your mission is to fight in the deep sea...

Xiao Bai wanted to speak to Elizabeth, but looking at Elizabeth's satisfied expression, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Xiaobai finally looked away and turned to look at her own ship girls behind her.

The ship girls at the naval base were chatting and laughing as they looked around. Especially when they gazed at the deep valley in the distance, their eyes lit up with surprise, as if they couldn't wait to rush in and take a look.

Akagi was following behind Shiro, responsible for attracting the attention of the ship girls from Haoding Garrison.

Xiaobai and Chicheng exchanged a glance.

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

"Speaking of which, Akagi," Shiro whispered to Akagi as he approached her.

"Ok?"

"You just mentioned that you used to go to the Haoding Admiral's garrison for exercises. Were you referring to the time when my brother was still an admiral?"

“Yes.” Akagi nodded.

"What's with you leading the exercise team? Akagi, wasn't your training level already maxed out a long time ago?"

“Ah…that time.” Akagi smiled slightly and said to Shiro, “That time when we went to Haoding Naval Base for exercises, we brought the B25 bomber squadron of six aircraft carriers.”

"..."

"..."

"The newspaper team?"

"Ah."

"..."

Chapter 1804 Ban Shan Jiu Mio (Part 7) Kick Dance in the Eight Nether Valley

Only after Chicheng reminded him did Xiaobai realize it.

When my brother became the world's number one admiral, he seemed to be a super sealer who loved to flaunt his achievements and take revenge on society by building high-intensity training teams when others hadn't gotten anything good yet...

In this world, military exercises between naval bases generally fall into two categories.

One of them is a practice exercise for improving the world rankings.

The application process for these ranked practice sessions is quite complicated, and they mostly occur in the upper-middle ranks of the world rankings. As for the top ten naval bases, since everyone's ranking is very stable and the tenth place is guarded by Master Sister Duan Shuiliu, the competition from below cannot be passed on. Therefore, the newbie naval bases have not conducted ranked practice sessions for a very, very long time.

Another type of exercise is a parade exercise.

This is also the most popular training method for newbie naval commanders.

Compared to formal ranking exercises, this type of exercise is more casual and free in its system. Often, a parade exercise can be held simply by the two admirals nodding to each other.

Moreover, it is different from regular qualifying drills.

There are no restrictions on the ranking of naval bases for parade exercises, and there are no punishments or rewards for the results of the exercises. For this reason, parade exercises are seen by most naval bases as being more of a social activity.

Generally speaking, the members of the patrol and exercise team are mostly rookie ship girls who have not yet been able to go into battle.

The main purpose of the parade exercises held by various naval bases is simply to use the guise of naval base exchanges to provide a stage for the new ship girls from each naval base to learn from each other, experience the atmosphere of the battlefield in advance, gain some combat experience, and incidentally strengthen the camaraderie between the naval bases.

From the starting point of view

Parade exercises are a good thing.

Ultimately, this is an unspoken rule of the environment. There is no hard and fast rule in the world that patrol exercises must involve rookie ship girls, so there are many naval bases in the world... and naturally there will be naval bases like the rookie naval bases that use all sorts of powerful exercise teams to participate in patrol exercises and find all sorts of ways to backstab other naval bases.
