As their flesh (censored) sensed a strange and terrifying gaze, immense pressure was applied to them. York and Baltimore turned pale and almost collapsed to the ground at any moment.
dying.
Being targeted by this being means I'm going to die!
immediately!
immediately!
I'm going to die in the next second!
An extremely strong sense of danger arose in York and Baltimore's minds, prompting them to force their nearly collapsing bodies into a fighting stance. The two heavy cruisers groaned incessantly in the deep-sea atmosphere.
But when the next second actually arrived, the tall figure in the pillar of light in the deep sea did not move at all. It simply maintained its terrifying presence and coldly watched York's side.
then.
Behind the tall figure, a figure that appeared much smaller in comparison gently patted its back.
Then, within the blurry pillar of deep-sea energy, the petite figure raised her hand and handed something to the tall figure.
"%¥!%……"
“%¥……¥……”
Voices could be heard coming from within the deep-sea energy pillar, but the content of the conversation was drowned out by the howling aura of the deep sea all around.
boom----
But soon, as the figures inside the energy pillar began to move, the towering deep-sea energy pillar seemed to have its energy cut off, instantly dissipating. The surrounding deep-sea aura also vanished without a trace. The gale stopped, the oppressive force disappeared, and everything seemed to return to the time before the deep-sea energy pillar appeared.
York and Baltimore stared wide-eyed.
After the energy pillar disappeared, the appearance and figure of the person inside the pillar could finally be seen clearly.
The tallest and most terrifying being before was a white-haired, red-eyed stranger who exuded the aura of the deep sea.
York and Baltimore didn't know her, but they recognized the petite figure behind the stranger.
"Admiral?!"
York and Baltimore stammered for a while before exclaiming in surprise at the woman behind the red-eyed woman.
Appearing behind the red-eyed woman was Xiaobai, dressed in an admiral's uniform.
And it was only at this moment that York and Baltimore realized that half of the dozen or so Deepsea Deans whose figures they couldn't see clearly were actually familiar faces.
Deep Sea Yamato, Deep Sea Musashi, Deep Sea Bismarck, Deep Sea Tirpitz, and Loki...
These are the deep-sea maids that you often see in the naval base. At this moment, they are tightly gripping their wrists or fingers, looking embarrassed as if they have done something wrong.
"Oh dear... Oh no, I was having too much fun in the deep-sea city and completely forgot about the deep-sea aura shielding device..."
"That deep-sea energy pillar just now scared me to death, it was so powerful..."
"I guess it's because we both arrived here at the same time and weren't wearing any deep-sea aura shielding devices."
"This is terrible! Such a huge energy pillar, it'll be visible to all human cities... Lexington will skin me alive..."
"..."
Yamato Shinkai clutched the ring on his finger, trembling with fear.
The mere mention of Lexington caused these Deepsea Deans to lose all their world-destroying aura. They all wilted like frostbitten eggplants, showing signs of being brutally defeated by reality.
"It's my fault, it's my fault, it's my fault... I should have reminded everyone..." At this moment, Xiao Bai was providing the Deep Sea Aura Shielding Device to the Deep Sea Deans of Chapter Eight with a look of lingering fear, and kept apologizing, "I stayed in the Deep Sea City for too long, and I didn't even realize that I would need to wear the device when I returned here. This time it was my fault, and I'm really sorry everyone..."
After distributing the deep-sea aura shielding devices to the deep-sea deans of Chapter 8, Xiaobai then looked at York and Baltimore not far away.
Xiaobai exchanged a glance with the two heavy cruiser ship girls.
"Um, um... hello everyone..."
Xiao Bai gave them an apologetic, awkward smile.
“…Yes, it’s the Admiral…” York and Baltimore only realized the terrifying deep-sea energy pillar they had just witnessed was a blunder by the Admiral, and their beloved naval base hadn’t suffered any deep-sea invasion, when they saw White’s smile. Muttering White’s name, they felt their strength and stamina rapidly draining away. Leaning against each other, they slowly sat down on the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief. “That’s…that’s great…”
Little White quickly ran to Baltimore and York and reached out his hand to them.
"York, Baltimore, are you alright?"
"It's alright, it's alright... Admiral, we're a little tired... our legs are a little weak..." York and Baltimore collapsed on the ground, complaining to Little White, "Admiral... you... you've come back from Chapter Eight?"
“Yes, yes… I just finished with Chapter 8.” Xiaobai said apologetically to York and Baltimore, “I’m going back to the naval base to inform Lexington.”
"Then she, they are..."
"They're all new friends, we'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future."
"A new comrade..." The heavy cruiser girls glanced timidly at Frederick the Great, then quickly looked away, somewhat frightened. "Admiral, you guys were making quite a show of force just now... The entire naval base probably saw it..."
“I think so too…” Xiaobai scratched her cheek awkwardly and looked up at her surroundings.
Only about half a minute had passed since Xiaobai and the Deep Sea Deans returned to the Newbie Naval Base. The Newbie Naval Base ship girls who had noticed the strange phenomenon were gradually arriving, and the sound of carrier-based aircraft could be faintly heard in the sky.
"It'll probably be packed with people here soon..." York said to Little White, "Admiral, let's leave now..."
At the speed of the newbie naval garrison ship girls, this place will soon be surrounded by heavily armed ship girls in layers.
Once things turned out this way, Xiaobai felt that he probably wouldn't be able to get away for at least a few hours.
To save time, Xiaobai awkwardly said to York and Baltimore, "Thank you... Um, I'll take them to Lexington first... I'll come find you after I finish things here in Chapter Eight."
Done.
Before York and Baltimore could react, Xiaobai turned around and greeted the Deep Sea Deans beside him.
"Kamikaze, Savoy, quick, let's go before the others arrive!" Little White scurried back to the Deep Sea Deans.
"Huh? Aren't you the boss here? Why are you running away?" Kamikaze asked curiously.
"When there are too many people, explaining will become very troublesome... Anyway, listen to me first, let's leave here..."
"Oh...right, who is this Lexington you were talking about? The Deep Sea Lexington? Why do you all look so scared of her?"
"Well... you'll probably understand when you see her..."
"Oh? Hehe... I'm actually quite looking forward to it, Deep Sea Lexington, right?"
"Oh, by the way, Lexington isn't an Abyssal, she's a ship girl."
"What?"
"..."
Amidst the surprised exclamations of the unfamiliar Deep Sea Deans, Xiaobai and the large group of Deep Sea Deans who had appeared quickly retreated from the cafeteria entrance.
No sooner had Xiaobai and the Dean of the Deep Sea Academy left than a series of footsteps echoed around York and Baltimore.
The ship girls from the newbie naval base, all in their ship rigs and brimming with fighting spirit, rushed over from all directions. They had originally wanted to find the source of the deep-sea aura, but when they arrived, they saw that the area in front of the canteen was empty, with only the two sisters, York and Baltimore, standing close together, looking completely exhausted. So they immediately swarmed over.
"Huh? Isn't that York and Baltimore?"
What are you two doing here?
"We just sensed an unusually strong deep-sea aura. Did you discover anything?"
"..."
York and Baltimore's bodies were overwhelmed by the ship girls that appeared from all directions, and the street in front of the cafeteria was instantly packed with people.
……
As Shiro, who had swiftly retreated before the ship girls arrived, heard the commotion behind her and couldn't help but shrink back.
"Luckily I escaped quickly, otherwise the ship girls would have caught me and interrogated me..."
Xiao Bai muttered to himself, looking back at the Deep Sea Deans behind him with lingering fear.
"So who exactly is Lexington? Why are you Abyssal Commanders afraid of a ship girl like her..." Kamikaze asked Yamato, a member of the Abyssal Fleet, while retreating with the main force. "We are the noble Abyssal Commanders! We usually summon fleets with a wave of our hand on the high seas. Why are we being treated worse here? Hey, say something!"
Chapter 2196 Returning to Lexington's Side
In Kamikaze's understanding, an existence that could make the Dean of the Deep Sea fear must at least possess the terrifying combat power of Frederick the Great. However, even within the Dean of the Deep Sea's circle, Frederick the Great was considered an unprecedented and unparalleled super-standard existence. How could ship girls, beings that are much weaker than the Dean of the Deep Sea, possibly generate combat power at the level of Frederick the Great?
It's obviously impossible.
If that's the case, why would anyone fear someone weaker than themselves?
Kamikaze expressed his incomprehension.
"Hey, so what kind of ship girl is Lexington exactly?"
"Is Lexington really that scary-looking?"
"Is Lexington even more capable than her younger sister?"
"Lexington, she..."
Hey, hey, hey, say something!
Xiaobai led the group toward the office building, while Shenfeng in the group chattered and asked questions the whole way.
"Lexington is a very capable person; she is the secretary ship of our naval base."
"No, Lexington is very beautiful."
"Lexington is much better than me, but not in terms of combat ability."
"Lexington, she..."
Shiro showed great patience in the face of Kamikaze's questions.
After the Q&A session ended, Kamikaze, who had received an answer, looked even more puzzled.
According to Xiaobai's introduction, Lexington seems to be a very gentle and responsible ship girl. Although she has combat power, it is far from reaching the exaggerated level of Frederick the Great.
So what is there to be afraid of about these ship girls?
Kamikaze still looked confused.
Kamikaze wanted to ask more questions, but the next second, a cold finger unexpectedly pierced her ribs.
"Eek!" Kamikaze shuddered slightly and glared at Savoy beside him. "Savoy, what are you doing now!"
"I've never seen you talk so much before." Savoy raised her finger, blew lightly on her fingertip, and revealed a smug smile. "If you're really curious about that ship girl named Lexington, we're going to see her anyway, so why don't you go and experience it for yourself later?"
"I...of course I know..."
"You're not trying to hide your unease in this way, are you?" Savoy looked at Kamikaze with a subtle gaze.
"Hiss—Savoy, I think you're getting out of control and causing trouble..."
Kamikaze and Savoy look like they're about to start arguing again.
But just as Kamikaze was about to unleash his power, a chilling gaze was cast from the very back of the group, striking Kamikaze squarely on the neck.
Feeling that icy gaze, Kamikaze trembled like a rabbit being stared at by a wild beast, then shrank back and quieted down.
"Hmph... You're lucky today, we'll settle the score tomorrow..." Kamikaze muttered to Savoy.
The minor conflict between Kamikaze and Savoy was left unresolved.
Everyone looked thoughtfully towards the back of the line.
Frederick the Great walked quietly at the back of the procession, her face expressionless, but her red eyes still radiated an invisible pressure.
Xiaobai patted Shenfeng's arm to soothe him.
“Savoy is right. You’ll see Lexington soon. She can answer any questions you have, Kamikaze,” Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Hmph... Uh..." Kamikaze didn't say anything, he just nodded obediently.
The deep-sea team has returned to calm.
After calming down the divine wind, Xiaobai lowered her hand and looked up at the distant sky.
The weather at the newbie naval base is great today; the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.
Without the cover of white clouds, a few small, silvery dots can be faintly seen at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
—Those are Lexington's carrier-based aircraft.
This has been a long-standing practice in Lexington.
As long as Lexington remains within the Naval Base, her carrier-based aircraft are always operational, constantly patrolling the territory. This includes not only the Naval Base but also the entire surrounding sea area, day and night, 24/7.
Therefore, what happens inside the newbie naval base usually doesn't escape Lexington's notice.
