How exactly did Frederick escape?

"..."

In a corner of the mysterious sea, Xiaobai and the ship girls sat on a high platform made of seawater. The ship girls hugged their companions and watched the golden and black-red waters fighting fiercely in the distance. Pinghai, Ninghai, Ying Ruizhao and others were completely dumbfounded.

"Actually, the battle has only just begun. This level of skill is not even a warm-up for them."

Xiaobai sat in her seat drinking tea, with tea and snacks laid out in front of her. After putting down her teacup, she waved to the ship girls.

"The battle just now was really intense," Yi Xian said to Xiao Bai. "I thought Frederick the Great would be defeated in one fell swoop."

"The first time is just the beginning, the second time is the real attack..." Xiaobai replied with a smile, "One of Frederick the Great's abilities is that attacks of the same type are ineffective. The effect of a method to detect whether it can harm her can be seen from the second time."

"So how did she escape the second time?"

"I do know that. The reason Montana was able to support an entire sea area is because she deployed her nanotech legions over a vast area before the battle even began," Xiaobai explained to the ship girls. "While Montana's power is indeed formidable, the number of nanotech legions she can control is limited. After covering such a large area, she couldn't guarantee that all the barriers would possess high toughness and sturdiness. Therefore, before the barriers shrink and become more resilient, they can be easily destroyed by an enemy of Frederick the Great's caliber."

“So it’s that simple?”

"It's not exactly simple... Montana isn't stupid. She'll definitely reinforce some of the barriers, making sure they all look identical. If you just randomly destroy the barriers, you'll likely get caught when they retract—and once they're retracted, they're much harder to destroy; you'd need to take at least a salvo from Montana." Xiaobai said to the ship girls. "But judging from the battle just now, Frederick the Great can find the unreinforced barriers in an instant. This is an advantage given her passive ability to negate secondary damage. If she makes a mistake or is even a little too slow, she won't be able to escape."

"Oh……"

The ship girls nodded subconsciously as they listened to Xiaobai's explanation.

Boom!

On the battlefield before the ship girls, golden flames rose once more, followed by a black and red aura.

Xiao Bai silently observed the two colors on the battlefield, then silently raised his teacup and took another sip.

Ugh……

Montana used this tactic to capture Henry and it never failed... Even Xiaobai thought it was an unsolvable trick, but unexpectedly, it failed the second time it was used on Frederick the Great.

Henry still needs to practice.

Xiao Bai thought to himself.

Chapter 3817 Monster

Xiaobai drank Longjing tea brought by Yixian, and ate osmanthus cakes brought from Chongqing.

Watching the dark red and black air currents and the golden sea in the distance intertwine and fight like two giant sea beasts, the two lights flicker and rise and fall, and for a time it is difficult to determine the winner. The continuous booming and explosion sounds come from afar as they touch and fight. Xiao Bai adopts the mentality of watching the dispute, gently lifts the base of the teacup and takes a sip of tea.

This is the first time Xiaobai has drunk tea brewed by Yixian.

I don’t know if it’s because ship girls of that generation tend to have similar hobbies, but Xiaobai could clearly taste a bit of Lexington flavor in the tea brewed by Yixian.

After taking a sip of tea, Xiaobai's mouth was filled with the lingering aroma of tea. He glanced down at his teacup and saw that the tea leaves, green as jade, fragrant as orchids, and shaped like gemstones, were gathered in the cup, resembling a vibrant and lifelike green plant.

“This tea…” Xiaobai murmured.

"Is the Admiral dissatisfied?" Yi Xian asked, sitting down next to Xiao Bai.

"Ah, no, no, this tea tastes very good. It smells very fragrant, but the taste is very mellow... It's delicious." Xiaobai put down the teacup and looked at Yixian with a smile. "This is the first time I've drunk tea brewed by Yixian. Before, I always drank the tea brewed by Lexington and Missouri, so I can't help but feel a little sentimental."

“Madam Lie…” Yi Xian’s gaze flickered slightly after hearing Xiao Bai’s words, and then she showed understanding.

"Huh? What happened to Lexington?"

"It's nothing to worry about, it's just that I had a brief tea ceremony exchange with Mrs. Lie in the past," Yi Xian shook her head and answered casually.

"Oh..." Xiaobai looked at Yixian's profile, seemingly lost in thought.

"Admiral, Admiral." Just then, Chongqing gently tugged at Xiaobai's sleeve. Seeing Xiaobai turn his head to look over, Chongqing smiled and moved his palm to his mouth, as if whispering something to Xiaobai, "Few people know this, but actually, the tea ceremony in Lexington was taught by Yixian."

"Huh!? Is that so!" Xiaobai looked at Yixian.

“Oh, that’s how it is. That was before you joined the naval base, Admiral. Once, Lexington came to the prison to see Yixian and asked her if she had any good ways to calm down. So Yixian taught Lexington how to drink tea.” Chongqing said to Xiaobai with a smile. “So in a sense, Yixian was Lexington’s teacher.”

"Wow, that's amazing..." Xiaobai couldn't help but put down her teacup and applaud Yixian. "I was wondering why Yixian's tea tasted a bit like Lexington's. Turns out they were trained by the same family."

"I can't say we're one company. Strictly speaking, I only gave some basic guidance." Yi Xian glanced at Chongqing, then explained to Xiao Bai, "So it's not really teaching, it's more like an exchange."

"Yes, I understand." Xiaobai smiled and nodded at Yixian with a smile.

Just as Xiaobai nodded, in the distant golden ocean, the black and red air currents exploded once again.

boom! ! !

A huge, muffled roar rose from the ground, and a large amount of seawater surged into the sky, shaking as if the entire sky itself was about to be torn apart.

The platform where Xiaobai was located was in a safe area. Here, they were far away from the center of the battle between Montana and Frederick the Great. Although some aftershocks of the battle still reached them, they did not have a significant impact on them.

Xiao Bai put down her teacup, picked up the osmanthus cake, took a bite, and chewed while looking at the battlefield in the distance.

Ok……

The battle between Frederick the Great and Montana gradually intensified.

"Admiral."

Just then, a soft call came from behind Xiaobai.

Xiaobai stopped what she was doing and turned around to look behind her.

Behind Xiaobai, 1913 sat upright and composed on the sea platform.

1913 sat upright, her back straight, her shoulders relaxed, and her full, eye-catching, and exceptionally round breasts hung high in the air like autumn fruits. Her legs were together, her hands were folded and placed lightly on her knees, and her eyes gazed calmly at the distant battlefield before turning her gaze back to Xiaobai.

"1913, what's the matter?" Xiaobai asked.

"I want to ask... was that lady named Frederick the Great subdued and brought back to the naval base by the Admiral himself?" 1913 asked softly.

"Yes."

"So, Admiral, your power far surpasses that of that Frederick the Great?" 1913 confirmed.

"Well... I had a tough time fighting back then..." Xiaobai thought for a while when faced with the question raised by 1913, and smiled shyly at 1913, "Frederick the Great was too powerful, not an ordinary person could defeat her."

"..."

"Didn't Changchun tell you about Frederick the Great?" Xiaobai asked.

“Ah, Admiral, I’ve already mentioned it.” Changchun, who was sitting nearby, immediately spoke up, but she touched her head a little embarrassedly as she said this, “But… well… I haven’t personally witnessed the battle between Frederick the Great and the Admiral… so I don’t know exactly how powerful Frederick the Great was, so I didn’t tell Sister 1913 about it in detail.”

"Oh... I see. You don't know Jinan either?" Xiaobai nodded, smiled, and then asked about Jinan.

"I don't know about Jinan."

Jinan was munching on a piece of osmanthus cake when she sat on a cushion not far away, hugging her knees and nodding to Xiaobai.

Jinan and 1913 are both ship girls who recently joined the newbie naval base, so it's normal that they don't know Frederick the Great's specific strength.

"Since this is a rare opportunity, let me introduce her to you." Xiao Bai held up three fingers and said to Jinan and 1913, "Frederick the Great... is very strong mainly because, as an enemy, she has three particularly troublesome points."

"The first and most obvious point is that any attack Frederick the Great suffers will be perfectly neutralized by her the second time she is attacked." Xiaobai pressed down a finger and explained to the ship girls, "As for the way to neutralize it... it usually comes in the form of dodging, but occasionally other types of solutions will appear, just like when Frederick the Great overcame Montana's net."

"Is this the passive effect that the admiral mentioned before, the one that is invalid twice?" 1913 asked.

“Yes.” Xiaobai smiled and nodded to 1913. “This is Frederick the Great’s most obvious and also most unsolvable ability.”

"What are the other two abilities?"

"Frederick the Great's second ability is relatively concealed," Xiaobai continued to explain to the ship girls. "That is, once Frederick the Great's attack is dodged, the second attack of the same type will have a 100% hit rate."

"This ability is... a double hit?"

"Yes, the second absolute dodge and the second absolute hit," Xiaobai said with a smile to the ship girls.

"A 100% hit rate should be a terrifying ability, so why did the admiral say that this ability is rather hidden?" 1913 was puzzled.

“Well… we have to start with Frederick the Great’s opponents in these battles.” Xiaobai glanced at the battlefield. “Compared to a double absolute dodge, a double absolute hit is much easier to overcome. After all, while Frederick the Great’s absolute hit cannot be dodged, it can be blocked. You see, Montana never tried to dodge Frederick the Great’s attacks, right? She knew it was a pointless act, so her chosen method was to use a large number of nanotech legions as cover to intercept her attacks. In this way, although Frederick the Great’s attacks hit, the damage caused was zero.”

"Oh... the armor value needed to block Frederick the Great's attack..."

"Frederick the Great's shelling is quite painful; it can take down a Deepsea Carrier Director with one shot... So, in terms of parrying, probably only Montana and I have that much armor." Xiaobai muttered for a while, rubbing his chin. "This skill doesn't affect Montana and me much, but if it's used against other people, it would probably be an instant kill without the protection of the Divine Shield skill."

"Admiral, you also have a nanotech army?"

"I don't have any..."

"So, Admiral, how did you deal with Frederick the Great's artillery barrage?"

"Just swat the incoming shells away."

"..."

Hearing Xiaobai speak so casually, as if it were a trivial matter, the ship girls present couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

This time, even Yi Xian, who was standing to the side, was included, and everyone fell silent.

"In short, the first two abilities are already quite troublesome, but unfortunately, in addition to these two abilities, Frederick the Great also has a most powerful passive ability." Xiaobai said to the ship girls, "That is an extremely terrifying regenerative ability... As long as there is enough deep-sea aura around, whether it is a broken arm or a broken leg, or even a huge wound that could be fatal, she can fully recover after consuming a certain amount of deep-sea aura."

"Two absolute dodges, two absolute hits, and a body that can almost be called immortal..."

After listening to Xiaobai's words, 1913 murmured softly, her eyes slightly furrowed, her delicate eyebrows coming together and then slowly relaxing.

Three abilities.

Three passives.

Any one of these passive abilities alone could create an almost invincible Deep Sea Dean, but these three terrifying abilities all appear in one person at the same time...

And most importantly, Frederick the Great's ship equipment base stats are also at the level of a monster on the panel.

After thinking for a while, she felt that Frederick the Great in this state was probably invincible.

1913 looked at Xiaobai with a slightly confused expression.

So... how exactly did our admiral manage to defeat such a monstrous dean...?

Chapter 3818 This face, you should beat it up!

"Admiral, so how exactly did you defeat Frederick the Great back then?" 1913 asked Xiaobai.

"Ah... well..." Xiaobai smiled at 1913 while biting into the remaining half of the osmanthus cake, "I guess I was lucky..."

"...Luck?" 1913 asked with a hint of doubt.

"Ah... Admiral, could it be..." Jinan looked at Xiaobai's smiling face, then suddenly seemed to remember something, her expression turning grim as she hugged her arms and trembled, "It's that..."

“Right, that’s the one.” Xiaobai reached out and tapped Jinan’s nose.

"Waaah, how scary! Admiral, please don't say it—" Jinan seemed to reflexively throw herself into 1913's arms.

1913 instinctively hugged Jinan. She watched as Jinan kept snuggling into her arms, while Xiaobai and Changchun opposite her wore enigmatic smiles. 1913 couldn't help but frown.

——Riddler.

……

On the golden-red sea, a series of shells fell from the sky, hurtling towards Montana's face.

Boom! !

A large number of shells finally bombarded the thick golden netting, breaking layer by layer. The shells, flying out of the netting, finally struck the hard golden armor without any power, creating bursts of brilliant fireworks.

As the fireworks faded, the uneven golden armor gradually melted, turning into tiny sparks that drifted into the air.

Behind the golden armor, Montana, enveloped in layers of golden flames, scratched her head. With a helpless look, she gazed at the strikingly black and red figure in the golden sea.

After a series of tense and exciting back-and-forth battles, with each side making and countering the other's moves, the black and red figure finally came to a slow stop.

Frederick the Great was surrounded by black and red energy, and her injuries were healing at an extremely fast pace. While the deep-sea energy was repairing her body, her expression remained unchanged as she coldly stared at Montana in mid-air.

"Really... I thought I would at least make some progress during this period of training." Montana spoke, addressing Frederick the Great, who had finally stopped, "I thought of so many ways to counter your ability to dodge twice, but you still managed to neutralize all those skills the second time I used them—to be honest, I'm a little discouraged after this."

"..." Frederick the Great looked at Montana coldly.

Montana extended his finger towards Frederick the Great and made a light stroke.

brush--

On the golden sea where Frederick the Great stood, chains, like nimble snakes, darted toward his body.

Frederick the Great's gaze never left Montana, but her body reacted automatically—just as the golden chains were about to reach her, Frederick the Great instantly shifted to the side, her limbs twitching slightly. The next instant, the numerous golden chains collided with a crackling sound, and just as they were about to change direction and attempt to wrap around Frederick the Great's torso, she extended her hand, enveloped in a dense black-red aura, and seized the point where the golden chains intersected.

Like hot water being poured into a pan of oil, a piercing sound followed immediately.

The golden chains were covered and contaminated by the black and red air currents, then broke apart piece by piece, turning into black and red flames that fell into the sea.

Frederick the Great stared coldly at Montana, then gently squeezed the last remaining chain in her palm until it shattered.

"Using deep-sea aura to contaminate my nanotech army, rendering some of it ineffective... What an interesting method." Montana looked at Frederick the Great, sighing, her voice filled with admiration and regret. "As expected, even this trick won't work on you the second time. Your ability is even more useful than my tactical goggles."

"...Is the stand-up comedy finished?"
