Elder brother's garrison

Page 1491

If I were to give up now, simply run away, and wait for my skills to activate before looking for her again, then who knows who she might tell her secrets to during that time… The consequences would be extremely serious. During the day, I was so vulnerable, I hardly seemed like a Deep Sea Dean. Exposing myself to areas where other Deep Sea Deans could find me would be incredibly dangerous.

Previously, to conceal the weaknesses in her skills, Savoy never interacted with others during the day. During the day, she remained hidden in her territory. If any deep-sea frigates strayed into her territory, she would use the most unreasonable and ferocious methods to sink them, all to make an example of them and leave the other deep-sea deans with the impression that they should never contact her during the day.

But now...

Savoy gritted his teeth, looking at the land-based ship equipment in the distance.

—We can't let her leave here.

—Absolutely not.

—Her carrier-based aircraft piloting skills are poor, and the troublesome battleship, the Deep Sea Commander, isn't with her anymore. As long as I'm careful with her secondary guns and don't get within their range, I can easily use my carrier-based aircraft to wear her down from a distance…

Savoy's gaze fell upon the secondary guns mounted on the land-based ship's rigging.

really.

Just as Savoy noticed the secondary guns, the secondary guns mounted on the land-based ship also turned around and aimed at him from afar.

"Keep your distance!"

Savoy swiftly sat on his black javelin rigging, which then spewed out a white wave, carrying Savoy away.

In the blink of an eye, Savoy had far outmaneuvered the land-based ship-mounted equipment and moved far out of its firing range.

"Huff..." Savoy caught his breath.

suddenly.

Savoy saw the muzzle of Little White's secondary gun suddenly light up, followed by a series of rapid fire as a barrage of shells erupted from the land-based ship's secondary guns, chasing after Savoy.

This monstrous secondary gun not only has high damage and a fast rate of fire, but its range is also incredibly long!

A moment of surprise flashed through Savoy's mind. She quickly controlled the black javelin beneath her and turned around to dodge, but in that instant, Savoy, who had focused all her attention on the land-based ship equipment, had no time to pay attention to what was beneath her. She suddenly felt a strong dragging sensation under her feet, and then this dragging sensation directly pulled her off the ship equipment.

Snapped!

Savoy was dragged to the surface of the water. She subconsciously looked down at herself and vaguely saw two dark hands emerging from the sea, tightly gripping her ankles.

In the instant Savoy was stunned...

Little White's secondary guns had already reached Savoy.

Savoy looked up and saw that the ammunition spewed from the secondary artillery had already gathered in mid-air into a dense network of fire, locking down all possible escape routes for him.

I have no way to escape.

Savoy sat on the water, watching the barrage of comments raining down from the sky.

Deep-sea creatures... are not protected by major disasters.

During the day, Savoy's defense and damage reduction are far less than at night. She had experienced the power of these secondary cannons before, and she was certain that if she were hit by the barrage of bullets in front of her, even just one, her body would be torn to pieces by the shelling, and her life would come to an end.

Savoy stared at the approaching shell, and for some reason, his chaotic emotions suddenly calmed down.

No matter how you try to escape... you can't escape.

Savoy resignedly closed his eyes.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom —

Numerous shells exploded around Savoy, creating sprays of water, and deafening roars echoed continuously around him.

Savoy didn't initially feel the pain of her body being torn apart. She thought it might be because the shelling was too powerful, causing her nerves to react a beat too late when she was being ripped apart. However, after a full salvo of secondary gun fire ended and the roar disappeared, Savoy found that the pain she expected did not occur.

Savoy opened his eyes and looked down at his body.

My own body...is completely unharmed.

"?"

Savoy stared blankly at the land-based ship equipment in the distance, and then she realized that the land-based ship equipment had disappeared into the distance.

"As expected... Miss Savoy has no defenses during the day." Xiaobai's voice sounded from behind Savoy.

Savoy turned his head.

She saw Xiaobai standing beside her, hands behind his back, smiling at her.

"Hehe, I won't really hurt you." Little White stuck out his tongue at Savoy. "Sorry, did I scare you?"

"..." Savoy.

Chapter 1997 Happy Cooperation

Savoy silently looked around. Ripples still lingered on the water around her, and even the buildings closer to her had been blasted to pieces by the powerful barrage of cannonballs.

Savoy looked down at his lower body again, and the dark hand that had just emerged from the water and grabbed his ankle when he wasn't looking had disappeared, as if it had all been just his imagination.

“…Miss Savoy?” Seeing that Savoy hadn’t spoken for a long time, Xiaobai reminded her again.

“…Hehehe.” Savoy came to her senses, withdrew her gaze, gently stretched her body, lay on her back on the water, and looked up at the sky. “Is my current situation…the so-called being at the mercy of others?”

"It's not that bad," Xiaobai replied with a smile.

"...Why didn't you kill me just now?" Savoy asked the little white dog directly after a moment of silence.

"Hmm? Why kill?" Xiaobai retorted to Savoy, "Is the relationship between Miss Savoy so bad that one of us has to be sunk?"

"...Let me make this clear first, if I had won the battle just now, I would not have hesitated to sink you with my carrier-based aircraft," Savoy said.

"Yes, I understand." Xiaobai nodded in agreement.

"...You have no objections?" Savoy looked at Little White with suspicion.

"Because from the moment I met Miss Savoy, I've been deliberately provoking you. Miss Savoy, you're not a saint. It's perfectly normal that after I angered you, you were single-mindedly focused on sinking me." Xiaobai said to Savoy with a smile, "So it's okay, I don't mind this outcome."

"...You're playing with fire. What if you lose..."

“Even Miss Savoy at night can’t beat me, let alone during the day?” Little White smiled at Savoy.

"..." Savoy was speechless for a moment.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?" Little White asked the silent Savoy.

“…If falling into the sea doesn’t count as an injury,” Savoy replied, glancing at Xiaobai’s profile and pausing for a moment. “…So, you were just provoking me to test your theory about my skills, which is why you forced me to fight you?”

"more or less."

"So you're satisfied now?" Savoy was in a "what's the use" state. Since her secret had been discovered by Xiaobai and she was in a defeated state where she could be at Xiaobai's mercy, she simply spread her hands and stopped hiding. "My ship equipment skills... as you can see, can provide almost invincible defense at night, but when the sun rises, as the price of being invincible at night, I have almost no defense during the day."

"Just as I thought." Little White nodded. "So that's why Miss Savoy was so extremely averse to other creatures coming into your territory during the day?"

"During the day, only my defense is weakened; my other attributes remain unaffected. So as long as I adopt a strong offensive stance and sink all the deep-sea frigates that have strayed into this area, the deep-sea deans outside won't doubt my strength during the day—heh, after all, a passive skill with such an extreme effect as mine is extremely rare outside... most people would never think of this."

“That’s true.” Xiaobai nodded.

If Pachina hadn't revealed the truth to Xiaobai, Xiaobai would never have realized that Savoy's nocturnal habits were actually due to the influence of his skill. After all, Savoy's skill, with its extremely extreme positive and negative effects, is unique even in the world, completely outside of Xiaobai's previous knowledge.

"So—what are you going to do now?" Savoy silently looked at Little White for a while, then closed her eyes, spread her hands, and said to Little White in a nonchalant manner, "Are you going to satisfy your curiosity and then spread this bad news about me? Or are you just going to leave me here like a noble victor?"

"Miss Savoy, it seems your emotions have suddenly calmed down again."

"I'm just tired."

"Why don't we do something fun?"

"Being interrogated about your weaknesses is utterly boring." Savoy opened his eyes and looked coldly at Little White.

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded.

Xiaobai looked down at Savoy, who was sitting on the water, calmly awaiting her judgment. Suddenly, her lips curled up slightly. Then, she squatted down in front of Savoy, cupped her face in her hands, and smiled sweetly at Savoy, saying, "Miss Savoy, actually... I roughly know how you feel right now. I'm sure you're feeling terrible, right?"

"..."

Savoy stared coldly at Little White, not saying a word, but his eyes conveyed the message, "Isn't that obvious?"

"Don't rush, don't rush. Actually... well... I came to see Miss Savoy on my way here because there's something I wanted to tell you," Xiaobai said with a smile to Savoy.

"...Is this a mockery of me?"

“Of course not.” As Xiaobai spoke, he reached out and touched Savoy’s wrist, then grabbed Savoy’s wrist and turned his palm to face his own eyes.

Savoy was fully aware of being at the mercy of the knife; she offered no resistance to Little White.

“As expected, Miss Savoy is also an outsider.” Xiaobai looked at Savoy’s wrist and said to Savoy.

Sure enough, there was a golden spot of light on Savoy's snow-white wrist.

Ok.

The markings on the foreign abyssal dean in this ruined city, apart from the kamikaze, are all in fairly normal locations.

"...And then, why are you asking this?" Savoy frowned and withdrew his wrist when Xiaobai mentioned the outsider.

“I just suddenly realized that since Miss Savoy possesses such an extreme passive skill, you must not like living in this city and interacting with the people here, right? After all, it's quite dangerous during the day.” Xiaobai also withdrew her hand and said to Savoy, “When you brought me into this city before, Frederick seemed to have asked you why you never attended meetings with them.”

“Heh…who would want to live with someone who could threaten their life?” Savoy turned his head and replied with a light laugh.

"In that case, Miss Savoy, have you tried leaving here?"

"No."

"Huh? No?"

"What if Frederick catches up during the day..."

"Oh, oh, oh, I get it, I get it." Little White nodded quickly, and said to Savoy with some sympathy, "Suddenly I feel that you've had it pretty tough, Miss Savoy..."

As a deep-sea dean who yearns for freedom, hiding his secret every day and living in such a stressful environment with a group of deep-sea deans, even a mentally sound person would probably develop some kind of illness sooner or later.

Oh.

Wait a minute.

Miss Savoy seems to have become a lunatic who constantly mutters "interesting, interesting"...

It's okay now.

"So, Miss Savoy, although you really want to leave here, given Frederick and the others' presence, you really don't want to take any risks, so you'll just stay here as a good citizen for the time being?" Little White asked Savoy.

Savoy remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

“In that case, things will be easier.” Xiaobai smiled at Savoy, stood up, and said to Savoy, “Miss Savoy, let’s get straight to the point. I’ll take you away from here, how about it?”

"?!" As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, Savoy stood up abruptly. She stared at Xiaobai's face warily, her expression full of incomprehension and unfathomable meaning. "Do you... know what you're saying? All outsiders from the Deep Sea who come to this city will be marked with Frederick's mental energy. No matter how far they run, they can't escape Frederick's grasp."

"I know this."

"then you……"

“Since we can’t escape Frederick’s grasp, let’s just get rid of Frederick.” Little White smiled at Savoy.

"...?" Savoy frowned.

“Aren’t we all trapped in this city right now? Let me be honest, I also want to leave this city.” Xiaobai said to Savoy with a smile. “So, in order to avoid being tracked down by Frederick, I will find a way to get rid of Frederick… I will start the operation in the near future.”

"...Why are you telling me this?"

Savoy suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

“As you can see, there are six Deep Sea Deans in the ruined city. With just the strength of myself and Super Dahe, it's quite a struggle to face all six of them,” Little White said to Savoy with a smile. “So… I need help. Miss Savoy, are you free lately?”

"..." Savoy.

“Oh…right, before you answer, Miss Savoy, I think you’d better think about our relationship.” Little White pointed to himself and continued to Savoy, “I’m the only person in the whole city…who knows your weakness, Miss Savoy. Whether you want to reject me or inform Frederick, you’d better think twice.”

"...Are you...threatening me?"

“No, it’s a suggestion.” Little White reached out to Savoy, “…I just need you, Miss Savoy, not to be near Frederick when I’m doing this…and if it’s nighttime, just lend a hand. That shouldn’t be difficult for you, Miss Savoy, right?”

"...Even with me included, it's still three against five."

"Actually, I've secretly tried to win over other people... to be precise, it was four against four. Surprisingly, quite a few people in this city want to leave."

"..." Savoy.

"How is it, Miss Savoy?" Little White waved his outstretched hand in mid-air.

“…Hehehe.” Savoy chuckled. “So you didn’t kill me just now… just so you could have a living accomplice…”

"..."

“Alright, if you really do break with Frederick, then I won’t help her.” Savoy held out his hand to Little White and asked, “Is that alright?”

“Of course it’s feasible.” Little White grabbed Savoy’s hand and shook it up and down. “Happy to cooperate!”
