Elder brother's garrison

"I've never seen it." Xiaobai shook his head. "There's not even any record of such a wondrous ability as teleportation."

"As expected..." Akagi wasn't surprised. She sighed and said to Shiro, "That's all I can say. The rest are just minor details. I'll tell you more when I meet you, Shiro."

"Okay, thank you, Akagi."

"Oh, right, Xiaobai."

"Ok?"

"Although Yamato didn't get any advantage from that Deep Sea Dean... he still managed to make a profit."

"What did you earn?"

"She cut a deep-sea main cannon off the head of the deep-sea department. Although the cannon is severely damaged and unusable for the time being, it seems that if Akashi repairs it a little, it can still be used temporarily."

"A deep-sea main gun? Hmm... If we're talking about deep-sea main guns, I feel like Yamato's 460mm is probably more powerful, right?"

"No... this door is 510."

"Eh?!"

"Of course, it's hard to say whether the twin-hulled 510 or the triple-hulled 460 is better, but I heard from Yamato that the name of this deep-sea dean's ship is Super Yamato."

"……"noob.

Akagi was in a hurry and didn't have time to continue chatting with Shiro. After exchanging a few more words, Akagi hung up the phone.

Xiao Bai stared blankly at his phone, looking completely bewildered.

“Super Large and…510?” Xiao Bai frowned, muttered to himself, and walked back to the conference room with a somewhat confused look on his face.

In the conference room.

The admirals have already called their ship girls and confirmed the situation.

Judging from the expressions of the admirals, at least Admiral Li Hua and Admiral Zhao Kuo did not seem to have encountered any special circumstances.

Duan Shuiliu is even more out of the question; she doesn't have any ship girls at all right now.

"Admiral Lu Lin, you looked tense just now. Is there something wrong?" Admiral Zhao Kuo asked Xiao Bai with concern as he watched her walk back into the conference room.

"Ah... well, not really... but I guess you could call it that." Xiaobai shook her head, thought for a while, and then nodded. "I have a squad of ship girls who encountered the Deep Sea Dean."

"Even the rookie garrison commander encountered this?" Zhao Kuo asked in surprise. "What happened next?"

"Ah...it's not that serious. We exchanged blows briefly, and neither of us gained an advantage." Xiaobai organized his thoughts and repeated what Akagi had just said to the admirals present.

Of course, Xiaobai has hidden all the information about Deepsea Yamato and replaced it with one of her own ship girls.

Chapter 1481 Pre-Battle Preparations in the Deep Sea

After listening to Xiaobai's words, the admirals present couldn't help but lower their heads and ponder deeply.

"Uh... I've finished explaining things on my end. What's the situation on your end, Admiral Zhao Kuo and Admiral Li Hua?"

Xiao Bai asked.

"My ship girls haven't encountered any danger yet, but just in case, when I called them just now, I told them to take a longer route, away from the sea and onto the city route."

When Li Hua was asked a question by Xiao Bai, his shoulders trembled, and then he dared not look Xiao Bai in the eye as he spoke.

"I just called Admirals Ren and Ling, and they just sent me a message saying that their ship girls haven't encountered any problems and will arrive here this afternoon."

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, was not as afraid of Xiao Bai as Li Hua, and he spoke frankly to Xiao Bai.

"Ah... so only my naval base encountered a special situation..."

Xiao Bai nodded and said softly.

"To be precise, only the newbie naval base has encountered this special situation so far."

As Zhao Kuo spoke to Xiaobai, a look of lingering fear appeared on his face.

"As for whether any unexpected events will occur later, nobody knows... I suggest that from now on, we contact our ship girls every fifteen minutes to check on their status!"

"Uh... I've changed my ship girl's route to a city route. It'll be more conspicuous, but there shouldn't be any safety issues, right..."

Admiral Li Hua raised his hand.

"No! I think that while the route through human cities might avoid harsh and extreme situations, it could be even more dangerous in some ways! After all, ship girls are innocent beings, and when they encounter malicious human bandits, the situation might become even more dangerous than that of a powerful deep-sea fleet!"

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, stared intently at Li Hua, his face filled with worry and tension.

"Therefore, Admiral Li Hua, you should contact your ship girls even more frequently than I just mentioned! An unexpected incident has occurred on Admiral Nanxing's side. This is a critical period, in other words, a period of high alert! We absolutely cannot allow any further unexpected situations to occur—"

"Okay, I understand, I will..." Admiral Li Hua, defeated by Admiral Zhao Kuo, picked up his phone with a wry smile, "I... well, I'll contact my ship girls. They send a safety message every ten minutes..."

"Oh, right, Admiral Li Hua, remember to rotate the ship girls who send messages. If the same ship girl keeps sending security messages, it's easy for blind spots to appear in the surrounding area. I personally suggest that you choose twelve ship girls distributed throughout the team. This way, each ship girl only needs to send a message once every two hours on average, greatly reducing the workload of the ship girls..."

Under the urging of Admiral Zhao Kuo, Admiral Li Hua hurriedly contacted his ship girls one last time before the meeting finally ended.

After contacting the ship girls and resolving the current urgent matters, everyone turned their attention back to Admiral Nanxing.

"As expected, the next problem is still Admiral Nanxing's ship girl issue..."

Everyone frowned, their expressions grave.

"I feel like there's such a lack of information right now, I don't know where to start looking."

When did Admiral Nanxing's ship girls disappear?

"Ultimately, it's still unclear whether Admiral Nanxing lost contact on the urban route or the sea route..."

"If it's the ocean..."

"Admiral Lu Lin's ship girls encountered a mysterious Abyssal Dean. Although it is common for ship girls to encounter Abyssal ships on the sea, it is actually very rare to suddenly encounter an Abyssal Dean who has many special abilities and leads an Abyssal army. Under normal circumstances, it can be regarded as bad luck, but now... could this be related to Admiral Nanxing's ship girls losing contact?"

The admirals were discussing it.

Suddenly, a voice came from the conference room door.

"The abyssal dean that Xiaobai's ship girl encountered should be the same dean who caused the abyssal disaster that is threatening this city. And if I'm not mistaken, the disappearance of Admiral Nanxing's ship girl is also related to this abyssal dean."

The voice outside the door was crisp and pleasant, filled with a matter-of-fact tone.

Everyone in the conference room was taken aback for a moment, then looked towards the conference room door.

"Ah! It's Lianlian!"

Xiao Bai stared in surprise at the conference room door, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

At the entrance to the conference room, Luo Lian was standing with one hand on the door, watching the people inside.

It was Luo Lian who had been hiding underground all this time, which is why Xiao Bai hadn't seen her for several days.

"noob."

Luo Lian waved slightly at Xiao Bai, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"Lianlian, when did you come up from down there?!" Xiaobai saw Luo Lian and happily ran to the gate, reaching out to shake Luo Lian's hand. "Have you finished learning your rune knowledge?"

"Not yet, just came out for some fresh air."

Luo Lian pursed her lips at Xiao Bai.

"I was looking for you, but no one was in your room. The maids said you seemed to have gone to the conference room with the ship girls, so I came to find you. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"No, no, um, Lianlian, when did you arrive at the conference room?"

"Probably when you finish your phone call and report your ship girls' situation to the admirals."

"Waaah... why didn't you make a sound for so long...?"

"...I don't want to bother you."

Luo Lian looked directly at Xiao Bai's face and said.

Luo Lian's explanation for this was quite simple and blunt.

Xiao Bai led Luo Lian to the assembled admirals.

"Admiral Lu Lin, may I ask who this is...?" Admiral Zhao Kuo did not recognize Luo Lian. He looked at Xiao Bai and Luo Lian as if they were very familiar with each other and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ah, her name is Luo Lian, she's my friend, and also the student of the guild leader... Admiral Munaigo." Xiao Bai proudly introduced her to Admiral Zhao Kuo, "She's amazing! In every sense of the word!"

"Oh, I see." Admiral Zhao Kuo nodded as he looked at Luo Lian's face. He cupped his hands in greeting to Luo Lian. "You are the last disciple of the world's second admiral... I heard some time ago that Admiral Munaoka mentioned that he had taken on a very remarkable disciple. It seems that it is you, Miss Luo Lian. I am very pleased to meet you. You can call me Zhao Kuo, or Miss Luo Lian."

"Hello." Luo Lian nodded to Admiral Zhao Kuo.

"Admiral Luo Lian, the situation is special right now, so let's get straight to the point." Admiral Zhao Kuo adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said to Luo Lian, "The deductions you made when you entered the conference room... can be described as quite bold ideas. If they are confirmed, they will be of great help to both the overall mission of our ten admirals and the ship girls of Admiral Nanxing. Do you have any specific evidence to support your claims?"

“I didn’t give any testimony,” Luo Lian shook her head. “It was just some subjective inferences.”

"Inference? No problem, I'd like to hear more details."

“I’ve seen Xiaobai’s ship girls before. They are all very powerful, and the title of world’s best is well-deserved.” Luo Lian gave Zhao Kuo a thumbs up. “Even a small squadron has combat power that ordinary naval bases can hardly resist. In other words, an Abyssal Fleet that can fight Xiaobai’s ship girl squadron to a draw must at least have the combat power to defeat or capture other naval base ship girls.”

"...Uh, is that the reason?" Zhao Kuo was stunned.

"The ship girls of the world's fifth naval base wouldn't be so weak as to disappear without a word. At this stage, the only deep-sea fleet with such swift and powerful strength is the deep-sea dean that the Whitey Naval Base encountered."

“Hmm… analyzing it from the perspective of strength is quite a novel angle… but even so, Admiral Luo Lian, how exactly did you determine that the Deep Sea Dean is the enemy we will face in this emergency mission?” Zhao Kuo neither agreed nor refuted Luo Lian’s judgment, but continued to ask.

Luo Lian certainly didn't mind Admiral Zhao Kuo's question. She barely thought about it before raising her hand and shrugging at Admiral Zhao Kuo.

"Judging from the state of mind."

"state?"

"Yes, when Xiaobai was reporting on the battle situation just now, he described that amazing Dean of the Deep Sea Commander commanding a large number of Deep Sea Amphibious Ships, right?"

Deep-sea commanders who possess such a large number of deep-sea amphibious ships are usually in the recruitment phase and are planning to attack human cities.

Even the Dean of the Deep Sea needs to consume Deep Sea Aura to summon his own Deep Sea minions and transform them into Deep Sea Frigates.

Upgrading a large number of deep-sea miscellaneous fish will inevitably consume a large amount of deep-sea essence.

So based on this alone, I would assert that the deep-sea director's base must be a huge deep-sea disaster area with a very high degree of pollution - coincidentally, there is a newly formed deep-sea disaster area nearby, isn't there?

The primary threat to the disaster area was this city, which is why I believed that the Dean of the Deep Sea Institute was your main target for this mission.

"Admiral Luo Lian, you mean..."

"The common point between Admiral Nanxing's ship girl and Xiaobai's ship girl is that they are both garrison forces sent to this city. Therefore, the reason for the disappearance of Admiral Nanxing's ship girl and Xiaobai's encounter with the Abyssal Fleet is very likely that the Abyssal Director made some pre-battle preparations before attacking the human city, with the main purpose of weakening the city's resistance."

"Prepare?!"

Upon hearing Luo Lian's words, the admirals present all showed a look of shock in their eyes.

Will deep-sea amphibious ships make pre-war preparations?

Unheard of!

"So, Admiral Luo Lian, you mean that the newly appointed Dean of the Deep Sea not only possesses formidable combat power, but also mature wisdom and intellect, and ultimately, at least a certain level of tactical thinking?" Admiral Zhao Kuo asked with some surprise.

"Yes." Luo Lian nodded.

“This…” Admiral Zhao Kuo frowned deeply.

Luo Lian's answer was quite a shock to Zhao Kuo's worldview.

Chapter 1482 Little White Requests to Fight

The two incidents—the attack on Xiaobai's ship girls by the Abyssal Fleet and the disappearance of Admiral Nanxing's ship girls—were actually pre-battle preparations by the mysterious Abyssal Dean in the Abyssal Disaster Area.

Upon hearing Luo Lian's assessment, the admirals present couldn't help but become serious.

If this is true, then this is truly terrifying.

The Deepsea Fleet is known for its overwhelming numbers. Whenever the Deepsea Fleet attacks human cities under the leadership of various Deepsea Commanders, it is always a massive invasion with its large forces waving their banners. They do not consider any strategy or tactics at all, and can be said to be completely embodying the word "reckless".

This is the basic setup.

It is also the first impression that admirals have of the Abyssal Fleet, the kind that is deeply engraved in their DNA and will never be forgotten.

But Luo Lian's answer at this moment was like a slap in the face to each of these admirals, telling them that the sky is not blue, salt is not salty, and fish fly in the sky, severely impacting their values.

“Admiral Luo Lian, you need to understand that if your assumption is correct, then it basically means that the enemy we are facing this time is a Deep Sea Dean with intelligence that is no different from that of humans, or even at the level of being able to speak human language.”

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, said to Luo Lian.

"Ok, I know."

Luo Lian nodded naturally when she saw the worried look on Admiral Zhao Kuo's face.

—Although these admirals all looked like they had suffered a major blow to their values, Luo Lian didn't feel anything at the moment.

after all……
