Elder brother's garrison

Page 1384

Xiao Bai's original plan was to start conquering Chapter 8 immediately after the Empire's transformation was successful. Now that the Empire's transformation was complete, he even had an extra night to visit Veneto's family and get closer to Veneto once again. Xiao Bai felt that he should now set about meeting with Admiral Haoding in Chapter 8.

In the week leading up to it, Xiaobai had been quite busy; she and Lexington had already made all the necessary arrangements for the advance team's conquest of Chapter 8.

Back to the admiral's office.

After greeting Lexington, Xiaobai quickly arranged the list of personnel for the advance team.

At noon that day.

A group of ship girls, comprising a small portion of the naval base's top combat power, departed from the base and boarded vehicles arranged by Xiaobai. Amidst the beeping of the truck, the massive truck began to move, its wheels rolling and dust dissipating. The truck quietly left the bustling city, seemingly amidst the ordinary lives of the city's inhabitants, and embarked on a secluded road, heading towards the location of Chapter Eight.

The rookie garrison has embarked on a new journey.

—That sounds like something out of an epic story.

However, Xiaobai, who was inside the truck, didn't think so.

The journey to Chapter 8 is long and arduous, with treacherous waterways and rugged land routes. Most of the vehicles used by humans are abandoned. Even the truck carrying the entire crew of the newbie naval base can only take the ship girls to the edge of the road that is relatively close to the sea area of ​​Chapter 8, no matter how hard it tries. The ship girls and newbies have to make the rest of the journey on their own.

But even so.

Starting from the newbie naval base, even with tireless travel day and night, it would still take at least a week for the truck to reach the highway closest to Chapter 8.

and so.

To pass the time during this boring week.

The interior of the freight car has been transformed, under the instructions of the newbie naval base, into a more suitable living space for ship girls and newbies. The car has not only added many windows and skylights for light to pass through, but also doors that can be opened at any time. It has also been coated with a coating that provides warmth and protection from the cold. It is also equipped with a small but essential amount of furniture and cooking utensils, a refrigerator, Wi-Fi, a television, and even a generator. The interior decoration has also been decorated in a cute and girly bedroom style.

This treatment.

It's already comparable to the ship girl's bedroom in the newbie naval base.

In a sense, the ship girls who boarded the truck also gained the privilege of spending up to a week in a large room with the admiral.

So, the ship girls were quite excited.

"Huh? Nelson, Rodney, you're here too?" Washington looked at Nelson and Rodney, who were greeting him, with surprise in the carriage.

“Yes, I heard we’re going to be exploring an important chapter this time. We’ve been relatively free lately, so we proactively submitted our application to the Admiral.” Nelson walked over to Washington, looked him up and down, and smiled slightly. “Washington, aren’t you usually busy training those heavy cruiser girls? How come you have time to participate in this event?”

"Hahaha! I have nothing left to pass on to those kids! Didn't expect that, did you!" Washington laughed heartily. "Don't worry, they're already excellent heavy cruisers who won't embarrass our rookie naval base. Next time you have the chance, I'll let you see the results of their training!"

"I am looking forward."

"Haha, let's not talk about that now. I heard it's still more than a week until we reach Chapter 8, right? That's plenty of time. Come on, I brought a few bottles of wine, let's go over there and have a few drinks."

"..."

"Admiral, would you like some oranges? I'll peel them for you." In the middle of the carriage, Missouri and the other three Iowa ship girls surrounded Xiaobai, each holding a handful of freshly washed fruit, pinching the juicy flesh and offering it to Xiaobai's mouth. "Ah—"

"what--"

Before Xiaobai could even open her mouth, North Carolina, nestled in Xiaobai's arms, poked her head out, took the orange Missouri offered, and bit into it. Then, she puffed out her cheeks and chewed earnestly. As she chewed, she seemed quite pleased with herself, shifting from side to side in Xiaobai's arms, her legs rhythmically kicking up and down in the air.

"There's an opportunity!" Wisconsin, quick as a flash, seized the moment after North Carolina ate the Missouri fruit and swiftly stuffed a sliced ​​apple into Little White's mouth. "This is fruit I cut for you, Admiral! I wouldn't even let Sister Yi Ahua cut it for me, Admiral, you should be grateful and enjoy it!"

"Um... thank you." Xiaobai said to Wisconsin with a wry smile.

"What a pity, we were just one step behind." Iowa sighed, looking at the grapes in his hand, but his expression wasn't particularly dejected.

"Hahaha! Even Iowa has things she can't do, right?" Wisconsin said with a smug grin, puffing out her chest as she laughed at Iowa.

"I still have so much to learn," Iowa said undeterred. She smiled at Wisconsin, then, taking advantage of Wisconsin's laughter, swiftly raised her hand and stuffed a grape into Wisconsin's mouth. "Watch out!"

"Huh?!" Wisconsin was taken aback.

"Since I can't feed the Admiral, I'll feed my lovely little sister instead." Iowa pointed her finger at Wisconsin's lips and smiled at her.

"Ugh... Ugh??! Ugh..." Wisconsin looked at Iowa's smiling face, her face quickly turned red and flushed, and steam rose from her head.

"Are you shy?"

"No, no, no, no!"

"So cute."

"I said no!!!"

Wisconsin waved his arms and shouted angrily at Iowa, who was covering her mouth and chuckling.

New Jersey held a bunch of grapes and ate them silently, looking at the three sisters in front of her with a calm expression.

Such lively scenes were everywhere in the carriage.

Tirpitz and Enterprise were playing video games in front of the TV in the corner. Yorktown, who had come to investigate, rolled up his sleeves and originally wanted to teach his sister a lesson for not giving in to her own depravity, but in the end, he was attracted by the video game and couldn't help but squat down and watch.

Veneto, holding a pointer, watched Rome's self-training, while Empire, holding a book, squatted to the side, calmly watching his two older sisters.

Bismarck, Akagi, and Kaga sat on the sofa, studying the materials for Chapter Eight intently. Bismarck mechanically nodded at every sentence Akagi spoke, as if he hadn't heard a word.

in the carriage.

It was almost entirely the lively and cheerful voices of the ship girls.

Chapter 1795 Preparation for Chapter Eight

Xiaobai takes the exploration mission in Chapter 8 very seriously.

Due to the limited resources available in Chapter 8, the Beginner Naval Base cannot immediately deploy a large fleet. Therefore, the number of ship girls that Shiro took from the Beginner Naval Base this time was only a small number, around twenty or thirty, but almost all of them were top-tier warships. It can be said that the combined combat power of the ship girls that Shiro took with her could, in a sense, represent almost half of the Beginner Naval Base.

and.

Xiaobai didn't just bring ship girls with him.

Surrounded by the Iowa ship girls, Xiaobai, holding North Carolina, leaned out and looked around.

The interior of the huge truck was bustling with activity, like a party.

The ship girls gathered in small groups in front of their favorite things. Some were playing drinking games with bottles in hand, some were playing games in front of the TV, and some were having afternoon tea at an elegant table. The lively sounds divided the ship girls in the cargo container into several areas, making it look like a brightly lit street, a dazzling array of colors.

Xiao Bai's eyes searched through the cargo box.

"Admiral, which senior are you looking for?" Missouri smiled slightly as she watched Xiaobai's actions and asked, "If it's urgent, would you like Missouri to help you look for him as well?"

"Ah, it's nothing urgent... I just suddenly remembered and wanted to take a look..." Xiaobai smiled shyly at Missouri, "Missouri, have you seen Yamato and the others? And Lord Missouri and the others too?"

“Yamato-senpai and Sukhbaatar-senpai.” Missouri nodded, raising her gaze slightly to look at the sunroof of the freight car. “If Missouri remembers correctly, after boarding, Yamato-senpai and the others went up to the upper part of the car with Sukhbaatar-senpai and the others.”

"Huh? Up in the carriage?"

"It seems they prefer the atmosphere up in the cargo box—would the Admiral like to go check it out? The ladder is right over there." Missouri said, pointing to the ladder under the skylight, and smiled at Xiaobai, "As for North Carolina, it's fine to leave her in Missouri's care for a while."

"Ah...then I'll have to trouble Missouri." Little White stood up and pushed North Carolina's small body into Missouri's arms.

North Carolina was a companion that Washington had to worry about. She boarded the ship with Washington. After boarding, Washington, in order to find other ship girls to drink and play drinking games, handed over the task of taking care of North Carolina to Shiro, claiming that the girl was very shy and would only stay by the admiral's side except in his arms.

North Carolina lost her memories of the era in which the ship was built, and she also couldn't remember Missouri. However, as a ship girl who was built from the same initial construction machine as Missouri, North Carolina always had a vague affection for Missouri. Even when Shiro pushed North Carolina into Missouri's arms, North Carolina remained obedient and did not show any resistance.

The train carriage was noisy.

The ship girls, having just settled in, were still enjoying the novelty of a spring outing, and no one noticed that Xiaobai had secretly climbed the stairs leading to the skylight and nimbly reached the edge of the skylight, just wide enough for one person to pass through.

Xiao Bai first poked its head out of the sunroof.

The instant I peered out of the sunroof.

The noise from the ship girls in the carriage disappeared instantly, replaced by a whooshing gust of air. A strong wind rushed towards Xiaobai's face, making the hair at the back of her head flutter wildly.

Oh……

The truck driver was driving so smoothly that even Xiaobai almost forgot that they were speeding down the highway at full speed...

Xiao Bai raised his hand to shield his face, squinted his eyes, and waited for a while to adjust to the strong wind before climbing out of the skylight.

The space inside the carriage was as spacious as the roof. After Xiaobai climbed out of the sunroof and adjusted to the howling wind and the rushing air, she quickly noticed a group of people gathered on the roof not far from the sunroof.

Xiao Bai stared intently.

really.

Over there are the Abyssal Yamato and the supply ship girls.

Sukhbaatar, Odin, the deep-sea supply ship, and the goddess of the hearth who had recently joined the naval base, somehow set up a pot on the roof of the carriage. A blue fire rose under the pot, and boiling water was simmering inside. Several dried-out squid strips were placed next to the fire.

Under Xiaobai's watchful gaze, Sukhbaatar and the three supply ship crew members squatted in front of the campfire, each with a piece of squid in their mouths. Despite the howling wind all around, they chewed on the squid while squatting on the bench with a contented expression like old men.

Life's journey is long, like a beautiful dream.

In this mortal world, how many directions do I dream of wandering in?

"Leisurely duck~"

"..."

These four supply ships are having a pretty good time.

Surrounding the supply ship were several deep-sea deans dressed in maid outfits.

Deepsea Yamato, Deepsea Musashi, Pachina, Deepsea Bismarck, Deepsea Tirpitz, Deepsea Ryujo, Loki, Super Yamato, and even several Deepsea Taihou that look exactly alike are here. They are sitting next to the supply ship, basking in the sun, listening to the eloquent speech of the most outstanding Deepsea Yamato.

"Let me tell you! The reason Xiaobai took us out this time is because her mission is to explore the waters of Chapter Eight. As you know, the situation there is much more dangerous than ordinary waters. Many ship girls in the naval base are currently unable to go out immediately due to resource constraints. However, as Abyssal Fleet ships, we can obtain resources directly from the sea, achieving truly zero-cost combat! That's why Xiaobai took us along, thinking we might be useful!" Abyssal Yamato spoke earnestly to the other Abyssal Commanders, waving her hands in the air. "So, this is a great opportunity for us to win Xiaobai's favor! We mustn't cause her any trouble. I heard there are other naval bases in Chapter Eight, so you all need to keep the Abyssal Aura Shielding Devices that Xiaobai gave you safe. We Abyssal Commanders need a leader, so if none of you are interested, I'll take the lead. During the subsequent expeditions, you must listen carefully to my commands..."

"Yes! Lord Yamato!" Before Deep Sea Yamato could finish speaking, Super Yamato clenched his fist and nodded excitedly at Deep Sea Yamato, "I, Super Yamato, will go through fire and water for Lord Yamato!"

"Very good, Super Yamato!" Deep Sea Yamato gave Super Yamato a satisfied look, then looked curiously at the other Deep Sea Deans, "What about the others?"

“As the noble Dean Luji, it’s not my style to take orders from others. Especially being ordered around by a Deep Sea Dean like you who has been completely domesticated by humans is something I can’t tolerate.” Pachina lay on her side on the cargo box, fiddling with a few strands of hair, looking sleepy. “...However, since it’s a rare opportunity for me to go out, I might as well stay under your command for a few days.”

"Pachina is really arrogant."

"Don't use human adjectives to describe me."

"So cute~" Yamato Fukami covered his mouth, teasingly looking at Pachina.

"..." A big 'well' character popped out on pachina's forehead.

"What do the others think?" Yamato asked, looking at the other deep-sea deans.

"Any way is acceptable as long as it serves my master." Loki bowed to Yamato Deep Sea expressionlessly.

“Then, I’ll go with you!” Deep Sea Dragon Rising quickly raised his hand.

“Alright! Next up is…” Deep Sea Yamato looked at the remaining Deep Sea Musashi, Deep Sea Bismarck, Deep Sea Taihou, and other Deep Sea Deans, and couldn’t help but remain silent for a few seconds before sighing, “The rest are people who can’t even speak properly for the time being… Seeing that you don’t seem to have any particular resistance, I’ll take that as your agreement.”

Looking around at the deep sea.

Looking at the deep-sea deans who were watching him.

As if finding its former days as the leader of the deep sea, Yamato proudly puffed out its chest, its heart filled with lofty ambitions.

"Then it's settled. When it comes to Chapter 8, when Xiaobai needs our Deep Sea Fleet to attack, we'll..." Deep Sea Yamato waved his hand, speaking loudly and proudly to the other Deep Sea Deans, when his gaze suddenly fell on Xiaobai climbing out of the skylight not far away.

For an instant.

One second she was full of ambition and heroic spirit, like the fierce and valiant Yamato, the next second she suddenly clasped her hands together in surprise, adopting the posture of a delicate and charming little woman, and showed a joyful smile from the inside out to the little white thing that climbed out of the skylight.

This change of expression is faster than turning the pages of a book.

Pachina was speechless.

"Shiro! You're out too!" Yamato Shinkai waved excitedly at Shiro.

"Hello, Yamato-neechan!" Shiro braved the strong wind and rushed over. She walked up to the Deep Sea Deans, smiled at them, and greeted them one by one. Then, she asked curiously, "What are you all doing here?"

"Ugh, it's one thing when we're working, but we're on paid leave now, right? There's a whole carriage full of ship girls downstairs. How can we, as the noble Dean of the Deep Sea, associate with them? It's really embarrassing." Deep Sea Yamato said seriously, hands on her hips.

“I don’t really care…” pachina said.

"Hey! You over there, where did your deep-sea integrity go?!" Deep Sea Yamato pointed at Pachina with a snap and said angrily.

"Hahaha... Okay, I got it." Shiro quickly stopped Yamato's hand and smiled at her, "Then, Yamato-neechan, you can stay in the upper carriage if you want, but remember to go back to the carriage when you eat and sleep later, and..."

"and?"

"Yamato-neechan, you haven't shown up for so long, I was worried about you..." Shiro gave Yamato a shy smile.

Deep Sea Yamato stared blankly at Shiro's face, then suddenly blushed, let out a soft hum, obediently lowered her head, and turned away shyly.

"Well... okay then... let's stay a little longer and then go back..." Deep Sea Yamato said obediently, holding Shiro's hands tightly.

Chapter 1796 The First Supply Ship Conference

Yamato's double standard of attacking the Deep Seas while acting coquettishly in front of Shiro naturally drew disdainful glances from Pachina, Deep Sea Ryujo, and other Deep Sea Deans. Fortunately, Yamato was focused on Shiro at the moment and didn't notice the state of her Deep Sea companions.

Xiaobai chatted with Shenhai Yamato for a few words on the roof of the carriage. Shenhai Yamato then pulled a group of Shenhai deans around him, waving to Xiaobai as they squeezed back into the carriage through the skylight.

Xiao Bai stood there watching the figures of the Deep Sea Deans disappear on the roof of the vehicle, then turned his gaze to the four supply ships.
