Elder brother's garrison

Page 1244

"Big!!! and!!!"

Before the shouts of the Deep Sea Yamato had even faded, the calls from the Super Yamato in the sky suddenly intensified. Then, hundreds and thousands of cannons were erected on the huge black and red ship's rigging, and the sounds of banging echoed continuously. A large number of shells gathered in the sky like a rainstorm, forming a fiery rain that fell towards the Deep Sea Yamato.

"OMG!!"

Deep Sea Yamato was startled by the fire rain spewed out by Super Yamato, but fortunately she was prepared and quickly sped off to the side.

Rumble rumble rumble —

next second.

Countless shells crashed into the sea, the sound of shells echoing continuously. Amidst the booming noise, the entire dark water surface was bombarded, sending up layer after layer of high-flying water splashes that shot into the sky, forming a torrential rain on the waist of the Dynamaxed Mega Yamato's ship equipment.

Deep Sea Yamato demonstrated the escape techniques she had honed during her 490 years as the director of the Deep Sea Academy. Even under the carpet bombing of the Super Yamato, she dodged and moved among the shells, managing to remain unharmed for a time.

"Holy crap, I could die if I'm not careful! Even I could die if I'm not careful! How come you're hitting me harder than you're hitting a ship girl?! Is there any truth to what you said about liking me, Shiro?! This kind of insane attack pattern doesn't seem like something a fangirl would do!"

The roar of the deep-sea Yamato resounded energetically through the shells.

"Big-and-!!!"

The calls of Super Yamato grew louder again, and it threw the half-bombed Haoding Naval Base onto the sea, focusing all its efforts on a love-hate relationship with Deep Sea Yamato.

……

Even with a considerable number of ship girls protecting Admiral Haoding, the iron ship he was on had been bombarded and riddled with holes by the full-scale counterattack of the Dynamaxed Mega Yamato. The hull was teetering on the brink of collapse and in a state of utter disrepair, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.

During the recent battle, Admiral Haoding was hit by fragments of iron from the hull of the super-Yamato's shells, sustaining some rather frightening injuries. Blood was flowing continuously from his forehead, and two ship girls carrying medical kits were frantically and quickly bandaging his wounds.

"Admiral, a piece of debris from the ship just hit your forehead. You're bleeding heavily and there's a risk of hemorrhagic shock!" The ship girl's movements were swift and precise as she bandaged Admiral Haoding's head, and she called out to him anxiously.

"Elizabeth, don't panic. The bleeding wound hasn't reached any vital arteries." Admiral Haoding stared intently at the distant Yamato and spoke to the ship girl beside him. "Comparatively, my command is needed more on the battlefield."

"But Admiral, even if the arteries weren't damaged, the amount of blood you've lost is..."

"Do you have spare blood bags in the first-aid kit? Insert them into my blood bag."

"Admiral, the correct use of blood bags is on a properly sterilized medical bed. If an infection occurs, the consequences will be extremely serious..."

"Don't worry, you won't die."

"..."

The ship girl beside Admiral Haoding gritted her teeth, took out a large amount of hemostatic medicine from the medical kit, and then took out two bags of blood. She knelt down on the ground and began to nervously handle the blood transfusion equipment.

Admiral Haoding finally breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the other ship girl beside him.

"How's the situation on the battlefield?"

"Admiral, the enemy's combat power is simply too strong after it has grown larger. Our fleet is running out of ammunition and resources after a day of fighting. Facing such a strong enemy, it is really difficult to cope." The ship girl said to Admiral Haoding, "30% of the fleet's ship girls have lost their combat effectiveness and are in a state of severe damage to their ship equipment."

"It's already 30% complete..." Admiral Haoding frowned.

"Yes...and as the number of combat troops lost increases, the rout will become more and more obvious," the ship girl said. "Admiral...I suggest a retreat."

"No. We can't leave the Deep Sea Dean, who possesses such combat power, alone." Admiral Haoding shook his head under immense pressure upon hearing this. He said seriously, "According to Admiral Zhao Kuo's information, this Deep Sea Dean possesses the unique power of spatial warp. If we leave the Deep Sea Dean in this form on the sea, and she uses her teleportation ability to land, it will be a disaster for our compatriots stationed on land."

"...But...the odds of winning..."

"...As for the chances of winning...don't worry, even I won't let you fight a battle you have no chance of winning." Admiral Haoding frowned, deep in thought. "Don't panic. Although the enemy's firepower is strong, judging from the fact that she didn't use such a powerful ability from the beginning, it must be a move with a limited duration and huge side effects. Abandon direct resistance and delay the enemy's offensive as much as possible. As long as we delay until the enemy is exhausted, that will be our victory."

"Yes!" The ship girl nodded, about to relay the orders to Admiral Haoding, but then she froze, "Ah... Admiral!"

"what happened?"

"Reinforcements have appeared on the sea! Enemy fire is being drawn away!"

"What? Reinforcements?" Admiral Haoding was stunned. He subconsciously looked around at the sea and confirmed that the surrounding area belonged to the deep sea territory.

"Yes! The enemy's firepower has been completely drawn away, the pressure on our fleet has been relieved, and we are currently making preparations!" the ship girl said to Admiral Haoding.

Admiral Haoding was stunned for a few seconds, but his expression quickly became intense.

Although it's unclear how they encountered reinforcements in this desolate deep-sea territory... well, the appearance of reinforcements can't be a bad thing!

"How many reinforcements are there?" Admiral Haoding hurriedly asked the ship girl, "What is the combat strength of the reinforcement fleet? What is its equipment? Which naval base does it belong to? Who is the flagship leading it?"

"..." The ship girl looked at Admiral Haoding with a complicated expression and shook her head.

"what happened?"

"Admiral, the reinforcements... consist of only one person. Moreover, they have been maintaining a high level of evasion and show no intention of attacking the enemy."

"?"

Chapter 1587 I understand, I'm leaving now.

Admiral Haoding was a little confused.

"The reinforcements... there's only one person?" Admiral Haoding asked the ship girl as if he were confirming that he hadn't misheard.

"Yes!" The ship girl understood Admiral Haoding's question and nodded to him. "A rapid report has come from the battlefield: the reinforcement is a young woman with long white hair. Although she hasn't deployed her ship equipment yet, she appears to be a ship girl. Her combat strength is currently unknown, but at least her evasion and resilience are extremely strong. She perfectly drew tons of enemy fire for the main fleet! Please give the order, Admiral!"

After listening to the ship girl's report, Admiral Haoding was momentarily stunned with a sense of bewilderment.

What exactly is going on with these reinforcements...? Where did she come from... and how...?

wrong!

Now is not the time to think about this!

Snapped!

Admiral Haoding quickly slapped himself to dispel the doubts in his mind, then raised half of his slightly flushed face and spoke to the ship girl.

"All fleet, listen up! Ship girls with moderate or greater damage, withdraw from the battlefield and assemble in a safe area. Wait until after the battle to use the rapid repair devices. All other ship girls, provide full support to the reinforcements!" Admiral Haoding announced. "Although we don't know who those reinforcements are, anyone willing to lend a hand at this time deserves our complete trust! While the enemy is focusing their fire on the reinforcements, all fleet, prepare your firepower..."

"Ah, I think it would be better for Admiral Haoding not to get involved at this time."

Just as Admiral Haoding was about to issue the order, a soft, unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out from below the ship.

Admiral Haoding was taken aback.

The two ship girls standing next to Admiral Haoding also widened their eyes instantly, quickly dropped the items in their hands, and carried their ship equipment to protect Admiral Haoding.

"Who is coming!"

Two ship girls, carrying a cannon, pointed at the wrecked bow and shouted loudly at the voice coming from below.

Right under the watchful eyes of Admiral Haoding and the ship girls.

A pair of white hands slowly emerged from under the boat and grasped the railing in front of the three of them.

Then, a small figure grabbed the railing and climbed up the boat step by step with some difficulty, climbed over the railing, and landed on the bow.

She was a petite girl with waist-length black hair and a face as delicate as a rag doll.

After climbing over the railing to the bow of the boat, the girl didn't rush to speak. Instead, she first patted the dust off her clothes, smiled slightly at everyone present, and gave a gentle bow.

"Hello."

"..." The two ship girls stared at the black-haired girl who had appeared on the ship, their eyes full of doubt.

The black-haired girl didn't have any deep-sea aura, so she wasn't an enemy, but her strange way of appearing was rather odd.

"You are... a partner of that reinforcement?" Admiral Haoding on the ship was the first to react. He stared at Xiaobai's face and, for some reason, felt a strange sense of familiarity. Because of this sense of familiarity, Admiral Haoding asked Xiaobai in a somewhat strange way.

"Ah...that's right, that's right!" Xiaobai nodded quickly. After thinking for a moment, she said to Admiral Haoding, "Hello Admiral Haoding...we are the newbie naval base's...um...advance team!!"

"The newbie naval base!" Admiral Haoding's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Xiaobai's words. "So it's reinforcements from the newbie naval base!"

"Exactly!"

"Hahaha—as expected of a rookie naval base! I was just wondering what kind of monsters and demons could possibly appear in the deep-sea territory as reinforcements, but since it's a fleet from a rookie naval base, then there's definitely no problem, hahahahaha!" Admiral Haoding laughed heartily. He quickly stepped forward and extended his palm to Xiaobai, "Hello! Lovely lady! I am Admiral Haoding of Haoding Naval Base, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

“My name is Pachina… um… our admiral told me about you… so… hello.” Xiaobai scratched his cheek and reached out to shake hands with Admiral Haoding’s large hand, which was covered in dust and blood.

"What? So Admiral Lu Lin already introduced it to me! That saves a lot of trouble!" Admiral Hao Ding looked at Xiao Bai with great enthusiasm. "Miss Patina, I'm very happy to have the advance team from the rookie naval base as reinforcements. I'd love to have a good chat with you... but the battle situation is tense right now, so let's get straight to the point... Miss Patina, you just told us down below the ship not to let me interfere. What did you mean by that?"

Admiral Haoding looked at Xiaobai intently.

Xiaobai nodded.

"Admiral Haoding, we, Yamato and I, have witnessed your valiant efforts against the Abyssal Fleet. However, given the current situation, the Abyssal Commander's combat power exceeds what a normal fleet can withstand. If your naval base continues to participate, it could very well harm your ship girls," Xiaobai said to Admiral Haoding. "For your sake, Admiral Haoding, I think it's best if you don't interfere."

"Huh?" Admiral Haoding was taken aback. "Then, Miss Patina, you mean..."

"What I mean is, Admiral Haoding, you'd better take your ship girls and retreat, leave the deep-sea territory," Xiaobai said to Admiral Haoding very seriously.

This sentence.

This is Xiaobai's most honest thought.

It contains no insulting words or meanings.

After all, as long as Admiral Haoding is here watching, the Deepsea Yamato cannot unleash its deep-sea ship equipment to attract attention, and he himself cannot use too exaggerated power. Only when Admiral Haoding leaves can the two of them deal with the Super Yamato with all their might.

of course.

as always.

This is because Xiaobai's communication skills are zero.

So when Xiaobai said those words, they probably didn't sound so good to Admiral Haoding and the two ship girls beside her.

"You...you're being insolent!" The ship girl next to Admiral Haoding, who was holding a blood bag, burst into tears upon hearing Xiaobai's words. "Our admiral risked his own safety for the sake of battle and protecting the peace of the city. We are the fourth largest naval base in the world, and you...you actually think we're a burden!"

"Huh?" Xiaobai.

"We are the fourth largest naval base in the world. The deep-sea fleet in this area was all dealt with by us under the leadership of our wise admiral! Miss Patina, are you doubting our combat capabilities and questioning our efforts?" Another ship girl frowned and asked Shiro, seemingly suppressing her anger.

"Huh??" Xiaobai was startled. She quickly raised her hand and said to the two ship girls in front of her, "No, no, no! I didn't mean that..."

"Shh." Just then, Admiral Haoding raised his index finger to the two ship girls beside him, "This is a battlefield. Don't clash with reinforcements. I believe Miss Patina didn't mean that."

The two ship girls, who were like powder kegs, were silenced by Admiral Haoding, and their fuses were cut. Only then did they lower their heads in grievance.

Admiral Haoding lowered his hand and looked at Xiaobai, who looked flustered.

“Miss Patina… I’m sorry to have startled you. Please forgive their offense.” Admiral Haoding said to Xiaobai, his gaze gradually becoming serious and earnest. “However… please also understand that there are some reasons in your request just now that we simply cannot understand.”

Speaking of it.

Admiral Haoding stepped forward slightly, looking directly into Xiaobai's eyes with sincerity and seriousness.

"If it's for the sake of victory, our naval base will naturally agree to any request. However... Miss Patina, according to the feedback from our ship girls, our combat strength should only consist of that white-haired reinforcement and you, Miss Patina, right?" Admiral Haoding asked seriously. "Why did you disperse our naval base, leaving only the two of you to deal with the Deep Sea Dean? Or rather... what kind of guarantee do you have to make to convince our naval base that you can handle the Deep Sea Dean on your own? This concerns the safety of our homeland, so please be sure to tell us."

"Huh? Uh..." Xiaobai stared blankly at the Admiral Haoding in front of her, blinked, and suddenly felt a little confused.

This Admiral Haoding... wasn't he supposed to be a reckless brute...? How come he's so meticulous in this situation...?

Xiao Bai had previously thought that as long as he told Admiral Hao Ding that he was a newbie garrison commander and hoped that he would retreat, Hao Ding would listen.

Oops.

This person is speaking very logically and persuasively.

The most distressed of all, Xiaobai, couldn't tell the truth.

Surprisingly, this is the type of person that Xiaobai is not good at dealing with.

A little troublesome.

Xiao Bai didn't dare to look directly into Admiral Hao Ding's sincere eyes, and stammered for a moment.

"Uh...I..." Xiaobai said somewhat awkwardly.

Just now.

"Ah! Be careful!"

The two ship girls beside Admiral Haoding panicked and hurriedly shouted to Xiaobai, whose back was facing the sea.

"?"

Xiao Bai subconsciously turned around to look behind him.

Behind Xiaobai, in the sea area, perhaps the Deepsea Yamato made a small mistake while dodging the Super Yamato, causing a wave of shells to be accidentally pulled into the waters in front of the ship and bombarded it directly.

Just as Xiaobai turned his head, a fiery shell came hurtling towards his face.

At the bow, the two ship girls beside Admiral Haoding turned pale. They didn't have time to care about Xiaobai, who was further away. They quickly grabbed Admiral Haoding's arm, spread out their ship equipment, and tackled Admiral Haoding to the ground. Then they could only stare in panic at Xiaobai, who was completely exposed to the super-large ship and cannon fire.

Oops.

The power of that shell... was several times greater than ordinary artillery fire... If this small person in front of me were hit by it, wouldn't he be instantly...

Right under the watchful eyes of the ship girl and Admiral Haoding.
