Elder brother's garrison

Page 1968

……

After assembling the ship girls, Xiaobai and his two companions led the ship girl team away from the temporary naval base and headed to the 8-1 sea area.

The accompanying ship girls that Xiaobai and Nia chose this time are the same ones they chose when they were clearing area 8-2 a couple of days ago.

The beach at 8-1 was packed with people as always.

When Xiaobai and her group arrived, she saw that the beach was full of admirals. These admirals were holding sheets of scientific research questions, racking their brains to solve the problems, with anxious and eager expressions on their faces.

“It’s always like this here, no matter when you come,” Xiaobai said to Nia beside her.

“After all, there are construction machines for research ship girls here…” Nia breathed in some fresh air along the way, and the aftereffects of staying up all night were significantly relieved. She covered her mouth and looked around, “Hmm… I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I feel like there are more people on the beach than before.”

"It's not an illusion, there are definitely many more," Xiaobai said.

"It must be because of the martial arts tournament a few days ago, and the news that we cleared out the 8-2 sea area in one day. The name of the special ship girls has also become well-known. Now, many admirals who originally didn't want to participate in the competition for special ship girls are starting to crave their existence." Luo Lian said calmly from the side, "This is a very normal phenomenon."

"Uh...that's it..."

Xiao Bai and the others turned around and looked at Rome in the group.

Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Rome clasped his hands nervously.

Seeing Rome's reaction, Xiaobai smiled.

"Let's go, Shanghai noodles."

"Ah."

The ship girls nodded in agreement with Xiaobai's words.

As owners of special ship girls, Xiaobai and her group did not cause much of a stir on the beach. Firstly, the admirals on the beach were mostly focused on their research questions and rarely looked around. Secondly, there were already a large number of admirals and ship girls on the beach, so when Xiaobai and her group moved among them, they were like drops of seawater into the ocean, invisible and undetectable.

The ship girls finally reached the edge of the sea peacefully. Just as they were about to summon their ship equipment, Richelieu suddenly looked thoughtfully towards the direction behind the beach.

"Hmm?" Richelieu looked behind him in confusion.

"Richelio, what's wrong?"

"Admiral, it seems there's been some kind of argument over there."

"dispute?"

“Yes, it’s on the other side of the beach, over there, it looks like some people have surrounded some other people.” Richelieu pointed in a direction. “I think they’re about to fight.”

"Fight? No way..." Xiaobai and the other ship girls turned their heads to look in the direction Richelieu was pointing, upon hearing Richelieu's words.

Sure enough, in the place Richelieu pointed out, there was indeed a group of people that looked exceptionally dense.

At first glance, the crowd seemed the same as elsewhere, but upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a human wall formed by the admirals, blocking the view from the outside.

"Wow... I really didn't notice that if Richelieu hadn't pointed it out." The ship girls exclaimed in amazement at Richelieu's superhuman observation skills. "Richard, how did you notice that?"

"Uh... because I used to do this kind of thing a lot, so I'm more subconscious about it..." Richelieu lowered his head and said embarrassedly.

"Good heavens." The ship girls suddenly realized.

"Let me check the situation inside." Taihou summoned her ship equipment and launched her carrier-based aircraft into the sky, circling over the area of ​​the human wall. "Oh... oh oh... I see, it does look like there's going to be a fight."

"What's going on inside?"

"It seems to be two male admirals who are being surrounded by a group of other admirals... Hmm? These two look familiar."

Chapter 2755 Encountering the Enemy!

"look familiar?"

Da Feng's words aroused curiosity among many people present, including Xiao Bai.

Although Xiaobai and Nia have been in Chapter 8 for some time, they have hardly interacted with the other admirals in Chapter 8. It is quite surprising that they could meet an admiral that Daihou said looked "familiar" under these circumstances—especially since he was a male admiral.

"Nia, are you familiar with any of the male admirals here?" Xiaobai asked Nia, turning her head to him.

"No, no!!" Nia quickly waved her hand. "Little White, you know me. Although I've been in Chapter 8 for almost half a month, I've been busy with expeditions and earning merits. I'm tired and sleepy all day long, and there's simply not enough time. So I have no energy or opportunity to participate in social activities among the admirals."

“That makes sense…” Xiaobai nodded in agreement, then turned her questioning gaze to Dafeng.

The Taihou that launched the carrier-based aircraft belongs to Nia's family.

In Xiao Bai's eyes, the mature woman wearing a red bathrobe with her shoulders exposed was gently pressing her temples, focusing all her attention on the carrier-based aircraft in the sky.

"Dafeng, what do the two male admirals in there look like?" Xiaobai asked.

"Hmm... one of them looks quite ordinary, and the other is rather pleasing to the eye..." Da Feng said with her eyes closed, "It's about the size of a nose below two eyes, a mouth below the nose, and two ears on the sides of the head."

"……"noob.

Well, I really have to thank Nia's Taifeng; this description is as good as saying nothing at all.

“Let me take a look.” Nia activated the Admiral Network and connected to her own Taihou. “At this distance, I can share vision information from the ship girl.”

As Nia spoke, she manipulated her admiral network to wrap around Taihou's body.

"Ah~ The feeling of being one with the Commander, the taste of the Commander, the happiness of being one with the Commander, it's here, it's this feeling, my body is warm and comfortable, so comfortable—" Nia's Taihou crossed her arms and twisted her body like a python walking in water. Her mouth opened and closed, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks. She kept making some onomatopoeic words like "ah ah" and "en en".

Next to Nia's Taihou, the other ship girls had black lines on their faces.

Dafeng from Xiaobai's family covered her face, shaking her head and muttering things like, "She's not me, she's not me, sisters, don't misunderstand, she's not me." Her two pink pigtails swung wildly like pebbles on a rattle drum, and the blush on her face even reached her snow-white ears.

As the admiral, Nia seemed to have long been accustomed to her Taihou's symptoms. She ignored Taihou's absurd reaction and closed her eyes to sense the visual data transmitted from Taihou.

"Hmm... Ah!" After a while, Nia opened her eyes in surprise, "It really is."

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked curiously, seeing Nia's surprised expression.

“Xiaobai, we do recognize two of the admirals who are surrounded there,” Nia said to Xiaobai. “I recognize one of the blond admirals, but I can’t quite place him. But I really remember the other admiral. He’s the same male admiral who spoke ill of you when I first brought you to Sea Area 8-1!”

"Oh? Admiral Fang Jie?" Xiao Bai suddenly realized what Nia was saying.

"Yes!"

"So it's Admiral Fang Jie, no wonder we know each other." Xiao Bai nodded knowingly and smiled at Nia.

"Hmm... but something's a little strange..." Nia said, then looked curiously at her Taihou, "When I brought Shiro to Sea Area 8-1 that time, Taihou, you weren't with you, were you? Why do you still recognize Admiral Fang Jie?"

"Uh... this." Nia's Taihou stopped wriggling abruptly, turning her head awkwardly, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. "Admiral... the Admiral and the ship girl are in sync... no, isn't that normal... I... I didn't secretly follow the Commander out to see if he was seeing other ship girls... no, no, no..."

"So it was a telepathic connection."

"That's...that's right..." Da Feng lowered her head and rubbed her little hands together.

Nia smiled as she looked at Taiho.

“It seems that Admiral Fang Jie has run into some trouble.” Luo Lian glanced in the direction of the human wall and said to Xiao Bai and Nia, “Judging from the situation over there, it seems that the other side’s blocking of Admiral Fang Jie is not just a simple matter of wanting to have a chat with him.”

"The Admirals' Guild probably wouldn't allow the admirals to fight amongst themselves..."

“Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. If you want to cause trouble for others within the bounds of the Admiral's Guild, I could come up with hundreds of ways on the spot,” Luo Lian said.

"Wow... what do we do now?" Nia looked at Xiaobai with concern. "Should we go help? Or pretend we don't see it?"

"Well—" Xiaobai drawled, gazing at the sea.

Strictly speaking, Xiaobai has little interest in getting involved in the power struggles between other admirals.

But Admiral Fang Jie... does have some connection with Xiao Bai, and he left a deep impression on him.

Although Admiral Fang Jie and Xiao Bai had indeed had some minor grudges before, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, Admiral Fang Jie swiftly visited Xiao Bai to apologize, offering a particularly sincere and kneeling apology. This decisive action and straightforward attitude left Xiao Bai with nothing to criticize. Xiao Bai isn't the petty type, so the small grudge between Xiao Bai and Admiral Fang Jie was officially put behind them after the apology. Later, to express his remorse, Admiral Fang Jie unconditionally gifted Xiao Bai his research manuscript, which he had painstakingly studied for half a month. It was thanks to Admiral Fang Jie's manuscript that Luo Lian was able to solve all the questions in the first set of research questions in just one night, greatly accelerating his progress.

At least from this point of view, Admiral Fang Jie was someone who helped Xiao Bai.

Yes, it has been identified as a friendly target.

"Lianlian, what do you think?" Xiaobai asked Luo Lian for her opinion.

"I can do either. It's up to you."

“Let’s go take a look,” Luo Lian said to Nia.

"it is good!"

Xiaobai quickly reached an agreement with his two friends.

……

Meanwhile, on the beach at 8-1, within the dense wall of people, the scene was surprisingly empty.

Admiral Fang Jie stood there with a heavy expression, his brows furrowed tightly.

Admiral Fang Jie secretly observed the impenetrable wall of people surrounding him, then looked at the unfamiliar admiral standing not far away with a friendly smile on his face, and finally looked at the two familiar faces standing next to that unfamiliar admiral. Looking at those two former friends who looked very familiar but had very unfamiliar expressions, he felt particularly cold and heavy.

“Admiral Fang Jie, where have you been hiding all this time? Do you know how hard we’ve been looking for you?” The unfamiliar admiral standing in the center of the crowd said, clapping his hands. His voice was slow and deep, and his eyes held a kind smile. “If it weren’t for the fact that these two old friends of yours have such a deep relationship with you and were moved by my sincerity, we probably wouldn’t know where to look for you right now.”

Upon hearing these words from the unfamiliar admiral, the people standing on either side of him immediately lowered their heads in deep remorse.

Admiral Fang Jie gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and glared angrily at the people on either side of the unfamiliar admiral.

"Why! Why did you betray me! Why!" Admiral Fang Jie gritted his teeth, his fingers digging deep into his palms. "Weren't we friends?!"

"Fang Jie, you...you can't blame me!" The admiral on the left, who had been looking down, looked up at Fang Jie with innocent eyes and quickly said, "Admiral Ke Yuan is the thirteenth admiral in the world! We lowly admirals can't beat him, and...and you should blame yourself! You could have kept it hidden properly, why did you have to chat with us online! If I hadn't known, this wouldn't have been my problem! If the group chat logs hadn't been leaked, Admiral Ke Yuan wouldn't have sent anyone to find us! I wouldn't have betrayed you at all!"

The admiral on the left became more and more confident as he spoke, and by the end, he even widened his eyes and looked back at Fang Jie without any fear.

"Fang Jie, we're friends, I really don't want to betray you... but you have a problem too!" The admiral on the right, who had been looking down, also raised his head at this moment, shouting angrily at Fang Jie with red eyes, "I consider you a friend! But what about you! You clearly know the solutions to the research questions, but every time I ask you how to solve the last few questions, you just won't tell me!! And you use such an unbelievable excuse! Aren't we in the research question group friends who share questions with each other? Since you want to keep it all to yourself, then don't be afraid of my disloyalty, this is the end you deserve!"

"Admiral Ke Yuan is far more righteous than you! He didn't even force us! He treated us sincerely and supported our garrison! And look at you! What have you done!"

"Fang Jie, don't blame your brother, you were the one who was wrong."

"Give the answers to the research questions to Admiral Ke Yuan. Listen to your brother, you can't control this."

"..."

"You—I!!!" Upon hearing this, Admiral Fang Jie trembled with rage and shouted fiercely, "You two bastards!!!"

Admiral Fang Jie was usually a very calm person, but this was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a situation, and he actually lost control of his emotions.

Fang Jie's furious roar, delivered with all his might, startled his two friends, who had been so self-righteous just a moment before, causing them to immediately lower their heads.

Just then, a soft clapping sound rang out.

The admiral, with a kind smile on his face, stepped forward and gently nudged the two admirals beside him back. Then, he clapped his hands and walked forward, looking at Fang Jie with a friendly expression.

"Hey, Admiral Fang Jie, calm down. You're the admiral of Chapter 8. For us top admirals, a calm mindset is the most important thing, isn't it? I know you're unhappy right now. Since you don't want to see your friends, I'll have them leave."

Chapter 2756 Clever Words and Flattering Appearance

The admiral with the friendly smile was none other than the "Admiral Ke Yuan," who was said by Admiral Fang Jie's friend to be the thirteenth in the world.

With a smile, Admiral Ke Yuan invited the two admirals beside him to leave the stage. As the two admirals disappeared into the crowd, he turned his head kindly and looked at Admiral Fang Jie, who was trembling all over.

"Admiral Fang Jie, now that you can't see your friends, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Admiral Ke Yuan's voice sounded sincere and kind, as if he were chatting with a close friend. "Since we've gone to so much trouble to get you out here, I'd really like to have a little—less impulsive—communication, wouldn't you agree?"

"You call that an invitation?" Admiral Fang Jie glared angrily at Ke Yuan.

"Hahaha, I admit that my method was a bit wrong." Admiral Ke Yuan shook his head with a smile and said to Admiral Fang Jie, "I sent people to find your friends, bribed them, and then had them tell you that they had found a safer place, tricking you into coming here. I don't deny that at all."

"Then do you think there's any room for communication between us?!" Admiral Fang Jie was so angry his neck was about to explode.

"Admiral Fang Jie, I understand your anger, but I also hope you can seriously consider this," Admiral Ke Yuan said, raising his hand. "During the process of bribing your friends, I didn't use any direct or indirect coercion or violence. I admit I did use my title as the thirteenth admiral in the world to offer them some temptations, but I simply sat down with them, had a heart-to-heart talk, and chatted. In the end, I did use less-than-honorable methods, but strictly speaking, it was your friends who voluntarily offered to assist me. Admiral Fang Jie, do you think you should hate me more, or hate those two who betrayed your friends for personal gain or other reasons?"

Admiral Ke Yuan's words startled the furious Admiral Fang Jie.

Admiral Fang Jie stared blankly at Ke Yuan, frozen in place for a moment.

"Admiral Fang Jie, that's right, calm down, calm down." Admiral Ke Yuan nodded with a smile. He put his hands behind his back and said to Admiral Fang Jie with satisfaction, "Calmness is the admiral's strongest weapon. We should be calm at all times and not let anger interfere with our thinking."

Hearing Admiral Ke Yuan's words, Admiral Fang Jie grabbed his other hand, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

As he exhaled a breath of stale air, Admiral Fang Jie's trembling subsided slightly. He raised his head and looked coldly at Admiral Ke Yuan.

"So what are you trying to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is that I also hate people who betray their friends for personal gain," Admiral Ke Yuan said with a smile. "Not only Admiral Fang Jie, but even I was a little angry when I heard their words of comfort just now."

"Hmm?" Admiral Fang Jie asked in confusion.

"Admiral Fang Jie, do you want to teach them a lesson?" Admiral Ke Yuan said.

"……What's the meaning?"

"They are just admirals ranked in the top three digits in the world. They may be considered prominent figures in the admiral circle, but in Chapter Eight, they are just ordinary people." Admiral Ke Yuan said confidently, "As long as Admiral Fang Jie says that you are unhappy and want them to suffer a bit, then I can totally help you with that."

"Heh, do you think I'd believe that?"

Why don't you believe it?

"You're the one who tricked me into coming here! Why are you helping me now!"
