Elder brother's garrison

Page 1451

The aircraft carrier girls happily approached and immediately surrounded Xiaobai. They took Xiaobai's hands and examined her body again and again, even taking advantage of Xiaobai's inattention to touch her waist and thighs several times.

Ok.

This is indeed the reaction a ship girl should have after her admiral has been missing for a night.

"Well... well..." Under the affection of the aircraft carrier girls, Xiaobai gave an awkward smile, "Yesterday, I yesterday..."

"After Xiaobai took me back to the naval base yesterday, she saw that I couldn't finish dealing with the backlog of documents by myself, so she stayed behind to help me." Lexington explained to the ship girls with a smile, "After we finished dealing with the documents, it was already late. Maybe because I felt too lonely, I begged Xiaobai to come home with me to rest for the night."

"Eh... I see..." The aircraft carrier girls looked at Lexington in surprise.

"It really was you..." Hood looked at Lexington helplessly. "No wonder the Commander didn't come back last night. When Akagi and I were discussing it last night, we felt that only you, Lexington, in the entire naval base had the guts to let her stay overnight..."

"Hehe." Lexington stuck out her tongue and smacked her forehead with her soft, white fist.

"Heh heh... what a joke." Hood pouted, gently tapping Lexington's ample chest with her finger, and complained to Lexington, "I thought you were a more rational person before, but I didn't expect you to find an opportunity to secretly hog the Commander, making Akagi and the others have to clean up your mess late at night."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lexington lowered her hand and said with a hint of apology, "I will reflect on my actions."

“…Sigh, never mind.” Hood sighed as she watched Lexington’s sincere apology. She pursed her lips and waved her hand. “Never mind, what can you do when you’re Mrs. Lexington…Fortunately, nothing happened last night. Let’s change the subject.”

Lexington smiled and exchanged glances with Little White, Tirpitz, and Super Big.

Shiro gave an awkward laugh, Tirpitz looked away and whistled, while Yamato lowered his head in shame, his head emitting wisps of white steam like a chimney.

"Um... speaking of which, why weren't you guys in the villa when we came back?" Xiaobai suppressed her embarrassment and asked Hu De.

"Oh, you mean this?" Hood nodded slightly after hearing what Xiaobai said, then pointed to the densely packed ship girls behind her. "Of course, they all came here to watch the show."

"Watching the fun?"

“Didn’t Elizabeth tell you about this yesterday, Commander?”

“Yesterday…uh…oh…” Xiaobai thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up as she realized, “Hude, are you saying that the supply team from Haoding Garrison is coming back today?”

“That’s right, exactly,” Hood said. “We just finished breakfast with Elizabeth, who came over for a visit, and then we received news from the Haoding Naval Base that their supply convoy is finally coming back. Commander, you know how important the supply convoy is to the soldiers fighting on the battlefield. As soon as they heard that the supply convoy was coming back, all the ship girls in the Haoding Naval Base couldn’t help but run over here to wait and welcome them back. Our ship girls here in the naval base had nothing to do anyway, so they just came over to join in the fun.”

"Oh, I see!" Xiaobai exclaimed in understanding. "I was wondering why Sister Yamato and Lord Su came together. They're here to watch the fun."

“There is no excitement in this world, but when a lot of people gather around something, it becomes excitement,” Tirpitz said quietly.

“What a philosophical statement.” Hood smiled at Tirpitz.

“In that case, I’ll go find Miss Elizabeth up ahead and say hello.” Xiaobai said, then turned to the other three, “Um… Lexington, Super Yamato, Tirpitz, would you like to come along?”

“I’m fine with anything,” Lexington nodded with a smile.

“I’m fine here… To be honest, since there’s nothing else going on, I’d even like to go back.” Tirpitz sighed. Her power bank was fully charged, and her handheld game console was ready to go. Going back to the villa to play games was her second only priority to going to war at sea.

"I...I'm going to Lord Yamato's side..." Super Yamato pointed in a direction weakly and said shyly.

"Alright then, Lexington and I will go." Xiaobai wasn't surprised by the decision of Chao Yamato and Tirpitz. She nodded, greeted Hood and the other carrier girls beside her, and then walked through the crowd with Lexington toward Elizabeth at the front.

At the very front of the crowd, Elizabeth was chatting animatedly with Akagi, who was also at the front.

"Sister Akagi, once our supply ships return, our naval base will finally have resources to replenish and be able to return to combat capability. At that time, under Admiral Lu Lin's leadership, we can also share the pressure and solve your problems," Elizabeth said happily to Akagi.

“That’s a good thing.” Akagi nodded with a smile.

"We have been relying on Sister Akagi and you for protection all these days, and now we can finally repay your kindness."

"Sister, we've already got this kind of relationship, isn't it a bit too formal to still be concerned about past favors?" Akagi smiled and patted Elizabeth's shoulder.

“Ah… I was being presumptuous… Sister Akagi is right.” Elizabeth lowered her head slightly, but still spoke earnestly, “However… even crows feed their parents, and lambs kneel to suckle. I don’t think it’s a sign of estrangement for people to want to repay kindness; in fact, it’s one of the conditions for feelings to grow stronger. At least… after spending this time together, I really want to do something for the sisters who have always protected us, even if it’s just some insignificant little thing…”

“Well said,” Lexington replied after hearing Elizabeth’s words, having caught up with the two.

Elizabeth and Akagi both turned around and saw Lexington and Little White rushing over.

"Admiral Lu Lin! And Senior Lexington! Good morning." Elizabeth looked at Xiaobai and Lexington with surprise and delight. She turned around and bowed to the two of them.

"Good morning, Miss Elizabeth." Xiaobai smiled and nodded.

"I was so touched after hearing what you said, Elizabeth. If you don't mind, you can call me 'older sister' from now on." Lexington walked to Elizabeth's side with a smile and gently patted her arm. "Friendship is not about size, but about depth. As long as you have the heart, even the smallest things can touch people's hearts. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you perform on the sea, Elizabeth."

"Thank you, Lexington!"

"Huh? Still calling me senior?"

"Uh... Lexington... Sister..."

"Good boy." Lexington withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and exchanged a glance with Akagi.

"..." Akagi looked helplessly at Lexington. After a few seconds of silent staring, it seemed as if they had exchanged their messages in that instant. Then Akagi sighed and rubbed her temples with her fingers. "Sigh... Lexington..."

“I’m reflecting on my actions,” Lexington said playfully to Akagi as she leaned closer.

"Okay, okay." Akagi lowered his hand.

"Miss Elizabeth, I heard your supply team is finally going back to Chapter 8, is that right?" Little White asked Elizabeth.

“Yes, Admiral Lu Lin!” Elizabeth nodded excitedly. “Today, the Admiral received news that the supply team is about to cross the jungle and reach the wilderness. According to what the supply team revealed before, this time they brought far more supplies than before, which can sustain us for a longer period of time!”

"Ah~ that's a good thing."

"Yes! I didn't expect the supply team to exceed its mission targets so unusually!" Elizabeth said earnestly, clasping her hands together. "Sure enough, everything has been going in a positive direction since Admiral Lu Lin arrived in Chapter Eight!"

"Uh..." Xiaobai blushed from the praise.

“If Admiral Lu Lin doesn’t mind, I’d like to introduce you to the members of our supply team,” Elizabeth said earnestly, then lowered her head somewhat shyly. “Well… after all, Admiral Lu Lin, you are now our acting admiral, and in a sense, your superior in the supply team. The supply team is unaware of the personnel changes here, so I feel it’s my responsibility to introduce you to them…”

“Oh, I understand, I understand.” Xiaobai indicated that she was completely okay. She looked at the wilderness and said slowly, “Since Miss Elizabeth has said so, I am also looking forward to seeing your family’s supply team.”

Yesterday, when the "supply team" from the newbie naval base arrived at Chapter 8, quite a few ship girls from the Haoding naval base also came. Since the supply team from Haoding naval base arrived at Chapter 8 this time, I should go up and greet them properly and offer my condolences as a gesture of goodwill...

After all, I'm practically their admiral, aren't I...?

"Our supply fleet mainly consists of destroyers and light cruisers, all of them are very cute. I will introduce you, Admiral Lu Lin, to them later."

"Oh? A destroyer?" Xiaobai asked warily.

Since they're all destroyers, it seems we should really get to know them properly...

Xiaobai loves destroyers the most.

Chapter 1931 Meeting an Old Friend Again

"Miss Elizabeth, how many people are in your family's supply team?" Xiaobai asked Elizabeth with great interest as he gazed at the distant horizon.

"Reporting to Admiral Lu Lin, our naval base's supply team consists of thirty-six people, twenty of whom are destroyers and sixteen are light cruisers," Elizabeth blurted out.

"Wow... there are quite a lot of people here."

"After all, they are all small and medium-sized ships. The space capacity of small ships is somewhat limited compared to large ships, so we can only make up for the quality with quantity," Elizabeth explained, bowing her head.

After all, not everyone in this world is as wealthy as the newbie naval base, so extravagant as to use precious large ships to transport resources. Using small and medium-sized ships for transporting supplies is the most common means of transportation in this world. There are more small ships than large ships, making it easier and faster to transport supplies. Compared to large ships, which are also responsible for being stationed on the front lines and participating in combat, small ships have more freedom of movement, and their impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the front lines is minimal.

"How much longer until your naval base's supply convoy arrives?"

“Soon.” Elizabeth thought for a moment and said, “According to the information they had previously communicated, they were still crossing the dry jungle. In another ten minutes or so, they will reach the wilderness, and we will be able to see them from here.”

"I'm really looking forward to seeing them," Little White said with a smile to Elizabeth.

“I believe they are also looking forward to meeting Admiral Lu Lin,” Elizabeth replied earnestly.

Xiaobai and the ship girls stood guard on the wilderness, chatting idly while gazing enthusiastically at the distant horizon.

A dozen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Elizabeth had just said, a dozen minutes later, Xiaobai and the ship girls, who were gazing into the distance, saw several figures slowly rising on the horizon.

"Ah! I've got it! It's over there!!"

"Our supply team is back!!"

"Wow!!"

"I saw them!"

The ship girls of Haoding Garrison, who had been waiting anxiously in the wilderness, jumped up and down excitedly as if it were a festival before they even had time to take a closer look at the figure emerging from the horizon.

Waves of excitement washed over Xiaobai, causing her to unconsciously absorb some of the joyful emotions from the ship girls.

“They’re so punctual…” Xiaobai said to Elizabeth beside her with admiration.

"Yes!" Elizabeth's face was also full of undisguised joy.

Blurry figures gradually appeared on the horizon, heading towards Xiaobai.

Amidst the cheers of the ship girls, Xiaobai quietly activated her ship girl-level farsightedness, wanting to carefully observe the appearance and condition of this group of Haoding Naval Base supply team members.

But very quickly.

As Xiaobai observed, it suddenly frowned slightly, a look of doubt on its face as it gazed at the figures emerging from the horizon in the distance.

"Miss Elizabeth."

"Admiral Lu Lin, what is it?"

"Your supply team is definitely thirty-six people, right? There haven't been any personnel changes in between?"

“Uh…yes.” Elizabeth thought for a moment and answered Little White, “The number of supply team members usually doesn’t change…and even if it does change, we will be notified immediately.”

"Eh...that's strange." Xiaobai stared at the figures that were gradually appearing in the distance, a look of doubt on her face.

"Admiral Lu Lin, what's wrong?"

"Miss Elizabeth, didn't you tell me before that your supply team only had twenty destroyer ship girls and sixteen light cruiser ship girls?" Xiaobai pointed to the distant horizon and said to Elizabeth, "Generally speaking, aren't destroyers mostly small-sized girls... Even if there are a few with better figures, they are exceptions. But look, now among the figures appearing on the horizon, there are already more than thirty big sisters..."

"Huh?" Elizabeth was slightly taken aback after hearing Xiaobai's words, and subconsciously looked towards the distant horizon.

really.

Although the figures emerging from the horizon were all backlit by the sun and their faces were not yet clear due to the distance, judging solely from their figures and clothing, the vast majority of the people appearing from the horizon were tall, slender women; the petite and cute figures of the destroyers were extremely rare.

“It really is… eh…” Elizabeth stared blankly at the horizon, muttering to herself.

While Xiaobai and Elizabeth were talking, figures continued to emerge from the horizon. Soon, the number of figures far exceeded thirty-six, heading straight for three digits. Before long, a large, dark column of ship girls, no less than Xiaobai's group, formed on the other side of the wilderness.

Seeing the situation in the distance, even though they were slow to react, the ship girls of Haoding Garrison finally realized that something was wrong.

"Um... um... did you guys notice... there seem to be more figures appearing over there than we expected?"

"Holy crap, this isn't just a little bit more, it's a whole zero more! The number of people that have appeared is almost more than ours!"

"Isn't that our supply team?!"

"..."

The ship girls looked at the distant formation and couldn't help but lower their heads, whispering in surprise and doubt.

"Admiral Lu, should we..." Elizabeth asked Xiaobai nervously.

"No need. Since they're all ship girls, we can be sure they're not enemies. We don't need to react too strongly." Xiaobai raised her hand to soothe Elizabeth's thoughts.

“…Yes.” Elizabeth lowered her head.

Xiaobai smiled and glanced at Elizabeth, but was also full of doubt as she activated the ship girl's far-sightedness ability, scanning the hundreds of ship girls that appeared at the edge of the horizon.

Although the ship girls appearing in the distance aren't enemies, and there's no need for us to be too tense, but... isn't this area in Chapter 8 a forbidden zone for others? How come so many ship girls suddenly appeared here...?

Although Xiaobai wasn't frightened by the dark mass of ship girls in the distance, she was still full of doubts and murmured to herself.

As the dark mass of ship girls gradually approached, Xiaobai's farsighted eyes were able to make out their faces more clearly.

"Huh?" Elizabeth exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm? Miss Elizabeth, what's wrong?"

“Uh…Admiral Lu, Lu Lin…” Elizabeth looked at the ship girls in the distance, stammered and turned her head to speak to Xiaobai with a strange expression, “Now I can see the figures in the distance a little more clearly…and after I saw their appearance clearly, I found that in the ship girl group in the distance…it seems that there are members of our supply team.”

"what?"

"It seems like they're leading the way for the other ship girls."

"Huh??" Xiaobai's eyes widened.

"Could it be that the supply team found us reinforcements..." Elizabeth looked at the ship girl formation in the distance with a strange expression, stroking her chin and muttering to herself.

"Did the supply team mention this when they contacted you before?" Xiaobai asked.

“No…” Elizabeth shook her head, then stood there for a moment, before nodding again with a strange expression. “Uh… but… now that I think about it, it seems that during the previous contact, they left some clues… For example, even though the personnel of the supply team had never changed, the amount of resources transported this time far exceeded the previous times. We thought they had discovered a special resource transport technique, but now it seems that they simply increased the number of people…”

"……"noob.

Good guy.

Are the supply teams of Haoding Garrison really that powerful?
