Elder brother's garrison

Page 2122

Jean Bart couldn't keep bothering her admiral, talking to him, and making him always watch her.

This is unrealistic.

She will eventually be forgotten by her admiral, ignored by her comrades in the naval base, and may not even receive the treatment and pay that ship girls deserve...

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jean Bart will likely live a life of perpetual solitude in this world because of her powerful abilities.

—This is truly a devastating and hopeless ending.

— Just thinking about this kind of thing makes my heart tremble.

Fortunately, the person who ultimately won Jean Bart was none other than Little White.

And thankfully, Jean Bart's ability is ineffective against Xiao Bai, as well as against those who have been injected with a large amount of mental energy by Xiao Bai in a short period of time.

Really lucky.

In a sense, Xiaobai is the only admiral in the world who can control Jean Bart.

"Hehe, Admiral, you called for me~" Jean Bart put his hands behind his back and hopped over to Little White, sticking out his pink little tongue at her. "Do you have something to tell me?"

"You've been secretly following me all day, haven't you?" Xiaobai said helplessly to Jean Bart.

"Ah, the Admiral has discovered it?"

"In fact, it's hard not to notice," Xiaobai said to Jeanbart. "Although others may not notice you, in my eyes, you've been swaggering right behind me the whole time."

"Heh heh." Jean Bart raised a fist and tapped his head.

"Don't you have anything else to do usually?" Xiaobai asked.

“This is all out of concern for the Admiral…” Jean Bart shook his head. “Besides… besides, even if I stay in the temporary naval base, not many people will even notice me, right?”

"Don't talk nonsense. Your sister Richelieu, Missouri, Abyssal Akagi, Changchun, Veneto, which one of them doesn't notice you?" Xiaobai stood on tiptoe, raised her hand and poked Jean Bart's forehead, and said to her, "Besides, I also selected many other people in the naval base and injected a lot of spiritual power into them. Although I can't do anything about Nia's ship girls, at least you are not invisible to our ship girls now."

"Hehe, I like following the Admiral." Jean Bart's escape route was exposed by Xiaobai, but he was not embarrassed at all. He just chuckled and continued to say to Xiaobai, "If the Admiral hates me following him, then I won't follow him anymore."

"Well, I hadn't thought of that either."

"The Admiral is the best!" Jean Bart gave Little White a thumbs up.

"Hmm... but I do have some questions for you." Xiaobai smiled helplessly, thought for a moment, and then asked Jean Bart, "You went to area 8-2 with me today and saw the ship girls being salvaged, right?"

"I saw him."

"So what do you think of her?" Xiaobai asked.

"Hmm... to put it simply, she's incredibly powerful, almost monstrous." Jean Bart glanced at the moon in the sky and said to Xiaobai, "Whether it's the attributes of her ship equipment or her own combat awareness, she far surpasses the limits of the concept of a ship girl. Compared to her, I'm practically from a completely different era."

"Such high praise?"

"I'm not saying I'm weaker than her." Jean Bart put his hands on his hips. "So what if her stats are stronger? You know, Admiral, my fighting style is never about head-on collisions, right?"

"Ah...that's true." Xiaobai smiled.

While Jean Bart's ship equipment attributes and combat awareness are indeed at the level of top-tier ship girls, by the standards of the top ten admirals, she is not actually considered an exceptionally outstanding individual—at least in the newbie naval base, there are plenty of ship girls with stronger ship equipment attributes or combat skills than Jean Bart.

However, Xiaobai also knew that Jean Bart's battles had never been related to her attributes.

Who told her to have the skill of doing things unpredictably?

No matter how strong a ship girl's attributes are, she is nothing more than a helpless sitting duck in front of Jean Bart.

This is probably a special case where the skill is too strong, resulting in a loss in the stats.

"So, Jean Bart, do you think that if you were to fight a salvaged ship girl, you would most likely be able to win?" Xiaobai asked Jean Bart with a smile.

"As long as my abilities are effective, she will never be able to defeat me!"

"So, does that mean I only need to send you to fight her?" Xiaobai asked with a smile, "You'll help me win the battle to salvage the ship girl, right?"

"Uh……"

Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Jean Bart's chest, which had been standing straight just a second ago, instantly shrank.

"Uh... Admiral, this... I'm afraid it's not feasible..."

"Hmm? What's wrong? Weren't you very confident you could beat Montana?"

"I may be confident, but if I can't do it, I just can't do it..." Jean Bart said with a distressed expression. "Admiral, you don't know this, but actually when you were on the beach in area 8-2 today, I was thinking of sneaking out to sea to ambush and salvage the ship girls."

"If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected has occurred."

“That’s what I mean…” Jean Bart pouted.

"Hmm... let me guess, is it possible that your ability is ineffective for salvaging ship girls?"

“How could that be? Only you, Admiral, can ignore my abilities!” Jean Bart said confidently.

"What other possibilities are there?" Xiaobai tilted her head curiously upon hearing this.

"Sigh... it's that kind of... inexplicable, um... how to say it, a very strange feeling, and I can't resist it." Jean Bart said, closing her eyes and drawing circles and lines in front of Xiaobai with her fingers as if searching for some kind of feeling. After a while, she opened her eyes and said to Xiaobai with a helpless expression, "In short, it seems that I can't do anything to the salvaged ship girls during the Holy Day."

Chapter 2983 A Comfortable Life

"what?"

Upon hearing Jean Bart's words, Xiao Bai's eyes widened in surprise.

"You can't attack the salvaged ship girls?"

"Yes."

Jeanbart nodded, pouting one cheek, and replied reluctantly.

"why?"

“I don’t know either. It’s like what I just said, it’s a kind of inexplicable feeling.” Jean Bart stretched out his hands and said to Xiaobai, “Just like birds know how to flap their wings to fly, fish know how to wag their tails to swim, and humans know how to walk, it’s something that seems to be engraved deep in my soul—I can’t attack other special ship girls, at least not until the Holy Construction Day is over.”

"Can't we just take forceful action?"

"Admiral, do you know that humans cannot commit suicide by holding their breath?"

"I've heard of it."

"I'm in a similar state right now."

“Hmm…” Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully, looking at Jean Bart.

"Admiral, you don't believe me..."

“No, I believe you.” Xiaobai shook her head and smiled at Jean Bart. “I just think this is very interesting.”

"What's interesting?"

"It's like some special entity is balancing the rules of the Holy Day," Xiaobai said with a smile. "It's said that special ship girls are much stronger than other ship girls, so to prevent the person who gets one of the special ship girls first from having a huge advantage against salvaged ship girls, for the sake of fairness, the supreme entity directly chooses to prohibit special ship girls from attacking salvaged ship girls."

"That's a very far-fetched explanation..."

"It may be far-fetched, but since this has happened, there's nothing we can do." Xiaobai nodded. "We can only accept these rules."

"Waaah..." Jean Bart clasped his hands together and said pitifully to Little White, "So... Admiral, I'm sorry, I can't help you get the salvaged ship girl."

"It's nothing," Xiaobai said with a smile, shaking her head. "It's alright."

"Admiral, you're so kind!"

Jean Bart opened his arms and hugged Little White, rubbing his face against Little White's body repeatedly.

Little White reached out and touched Jean Bart's magician's hat, then looked up at the sky.

If Jean Bart, who is responsible for building ship girls, cannot present anything to Montaigne... then even if research ship girls are born someday in the future, they probably won't be able to present anything to Montaigne either, right?

Ugh.

If special ship girls can't win, then ordinary ship girls must be even less likely to win.

After all, Montana is an opponent that even Little White doesn't know how to deal with without pulling out Deepsea Killer.

For a ship girl, she's ridiculously strong.

The last opponent this strong was Frederick the Great...

But he couldn't really let Frederick the Great go out and fight Montana.

Now I really have to rely on myself.

Xiao Bai stroked Jean Bart's head, then paused slightly.

Jeanbart.

"Well?"

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest with your sister," Xiaobai said to Jeanbart with a smile. "I'm going out for a bit."

"Is the Admiral going to go find a ship girl to salvage?"

"Well, there's something I want to ask her."

"Oh..." Jean Bart let go of her hand in a daze, took two steps back, and grinned at Little White. "Then I'll go first and head back!"

"Good night."

Little White waved to Jean Bart.

Jeanbart responded to Xiaobai, waving her hand before skipping and hopping towards the dormitory building.

However, just after Jean Bart left Xiaobai and took a few steps toward the dormitory, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiaobai.

"Oh...right, Admiral."

"Ok?"

"There's something else I want to tell you..." Jean Bart said mysteriously.

"what is the matter?"

"It's about salvaging ship girls," Jean Bart said to Xiaobai. "Although I can't do anything to salvaging ship girls... I still have a special feeling based on that inexplicable connection. I don't know if this feeling is right or wrong, but it should be useful to you, Admiral."

"Oh? Tell me."

"That salvaged ship girl..." Jean Bart pointed to the sea and said to Xiaobai, "Although she is already showing strong combat power, I still have a feeling that she is not using her full strength and is still holding back."

"...Something is hidden?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

"Hehe, that's how it is." Jean Bart stuck out his tongue and scratched his head. "It's purely a feeling, without any objectivity, all subjective! I don't even know if it's right or wrong, but anyway, consider it a reminder for you, Admiral!"

"Ah..." Xiaobai nodded and smiled at Jean Bart. "Yes, thank you. I'll be careful."

"I've said my piece. Now I really have to go back! Bye-bye, Admiral!"

After speaking to Xiaobai, Jeanbart skipped away, heading towards the dormitory building.

Xiaobai watched as Jean Bart's figure disappeared between the dormitory buildings. She let out a long sigh, turned around and looked at the gate of the temporary garrison, and lowered her head in thought.

Is Montana still hiding something...?

Ok……

In Xiaobai's memory, the information she gleaned about Montana during her last encounter and battle was roughly as follows: First, Montana was a battleship girl with exceptionally powerful ship equipment attributes. Her cannon fire was swift and powerful, and she could adjust the speed and power of her shots according to the situation. Besides this, and most importantly, she possessed a set of equipment that could be described as cheating. Through this incomprehensibly powerful equipment, she could perform many combat actions and tactical plans that ordinary ship girls could not. Furthermore, this equipment also had powerful combat support characteristics, such as automatic acceleration and deceleration, precise aiming of cannon fire, perfect evasion in movement, and even low-altitude flight like in an aerial combat game… These were all powerful effects of Montana's equipment.

All of Montana's characteristics, as summarized by Xiaobai, were demonstrated in today's battle.

Logically speaking...

The ship girls at Haoding Naval Base should have completely forced Montana to reveal her trump card.

Was she still hiding something?

Judging from her overwhelming power in combat, Montana's current fighting strength is already at the level of Frederick the Great. If she has other hidden abilities, just how powerful would the real Montana be...?

Little White stroked his chin, looked at the moon, and couldn't help but sigh.

This salvaged ship girl is truly extraordinary.

……

Under the cover of night, Xiaobai left the temporary garrison and headed towards the sea area where 8-2 was located.

As expected, the area around 8-2 at night was once again heavily guarded by the Admiral's Guild's employees.

Using the same old method, after getting rid of the invincible Deep Sea Will, Xiaobai easily passed through the Admiral Guild's tight security and arrived at the beach of 8-2.

During the day, 8-2 Beach is so crowded that you can barely fit one foot.

When Xiaobai arrived at the 8-2 sea area at night, looking at the deserted and quiet scene on the beach, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

"The 8-2 beach is so quiet and empty, I almost don't recognize it anymore."
