Elder brother's garrison

"Ladies, you seem to be a bit pressed for time. In that case, let's get straight to the point." The young man looked at Pompeii and Xiaobai. "Our mercenary group, like yours, is a civilian organization that has taken in a considerable number of wandering ship girls, dedicated to rescuing villages affected by deep-sea disasters. I see you two here, so I assume you are also wandering ship girls who came here to protect the village. What I mean is, although you arrived earlier than us, resolving deep-sea disasters isn't about timing, but about strength. Our mercenary group is a highly skilled organization capable of independently and quickly resolving deep-sea disasters. With our help, this village should soon return to normal. As you can see, we have far more ship girl companions than you..."

really.

Just as Pompeii told Xiaobai, this mercenary leader's words really implied that "this village is under the jurisdiction of our mercenary group, and you can leave now."

Xiao Bai listened to the man's words, turned her head, and looked towards Pompeii.

Pompeii was also looking at Little White at this moment.

Not to mention in this setting, Pompeii could still laugh when she looked at Xiaobai. She squinted one eye, while her other bright, watery eye seemed to say, "See, I told you so."

Just as Little White and the great Pompeii were exchanging glances, they were communicating with each other.

"Two of you! I understand, I understand. After all, you arrived at this village first. Even disregarding strength, just considering the order of arrival, it's only fair that we side with you." The man paused noticeably, his gaze sweeping briefly over Little White and Pompeii. "Therefore, we propose that we cooperate. As the saying goes, a fence needs three posts, and a hero needs three helpers. Our mercenary group warmly welcomes new blood..."

really.

Pompeii was right again.

Even a rogue admiral in human society is still an admiral after all, and ultimately cannot escape the problem of being envious of ship girls.

Pompeii's previously relaxed expression noticeably darkened the moment the mercenary leader mentioned cooperation.

"What do you two ladies think?" The young man asked, raising his eyes to look at Xiaobai and Pompeii.

Of course.

Xiaobai is a perfectly legitimate human being. Even if she is mistaken for a ship girl, she would never join a civilian organization. Therefore, Xiaobai would definitely refuse this young man's invitation.

However, Xiaobai was not Pompeii's admiral after all. Even though Xiaobai knew very well that Pompeii would not accept this young man's invitation, Xiaobai could not make the decision for Pompeii.

So, Xiaobai looked at Pompeii beside her with a questioning gaze.

It is clear.

The young man mistook Xiaobai and Pompeii for companions. Xiaobai's questioning gaze toward Pompeii appeared to the young man as a hesitant and thoughtful expression.

The young man's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he quickly turned his gaze to Pompeii.

"Miss, what do you think? Our mercenary group has a harmonious and healthy atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and helps each other. If you're interested, you can try it out for a few days..."

The young man said excitedly.

The great Pompeii glanced at the little white dog beside him, then turned his gaze to the young man in front of him.

“Ha…” Pompeii sighed softly.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Xiaobai and the young man, he took a small step back.

Although Pompeii has a mature figure, she is not a very tall ship girl. Her small movements often give people a comfortable feeling as light as a feather.

Take, for example, this small step back.

Pompeii achieved a lightness and liveliness that other ship girls couldn't match.

then.

next second.

Xiao Bai suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.

Then a flash of white light appeared before my eyes.

Under Xiaobai's astonished gaze.

Pompeii, holding onto Xiaobai's shoulder, leaped into the air with a powerful leap. His long, slender legs moved like lightning, accompanied by a whooshing sound, like a snow-white club, and kicked the young man hard in the face from below.

The young man barely had time to react. Amidst a spray of blood from his nose that filled the sky, the mercenary leader was kicked backward by the great Pompeii.

can only say.

The Great Pompeii is now a fully-fledged ship girl.

She has her own ideas.

Chapter 1308 Pompeii Has Someone in Charge

The young man's body was kicked away by the great Pompeii, and under Xiaobai's gaze, it floated and spun in mid-air like a runaway top.

Finally, with a soft "smack".

He fell quite embarrassingly onto the ground some distance away.

There was no response.

quietly.

Pompey's kick not only left a delicate footprint on the young man's fairly pleasing face, but also sent him into a state of shock.

Little White stared blankly at the scene before him, mouth agape.

Pompeii... kicked someone.

She actually kicked someone!

And he kicked it so well... No, that's not the point. Pompeo's kick was too decisive and too powerful!

Little White turned his head blankly and looked at Pompeii beside him.

After unleashing a thunderous kick, Pompey pursed his lips in a satisfied and triumphant expression.

That expression was as smooth as someone rushing home in the rain, soaking wet, and changing into dry, fresh new underwear.

Seeing Pompeii's expression, Xiaobai finally understood the true meaning of Pompeii's words, "We've suffered a lot of losses in organizations like mercenary groups."

What kind of deep-seated hatred must there be...?

Behind the street, the mercenary ship girls who stood still and stared at the young man, along with the villagers, all wide-eyed and dumbfounded as the young man was reduced to a mere sliver of blood in the blink of an eye.

"Commander... Commander!!"

"Commander!!"

"Commander, what's wrong? Commander! Commander, are you alright?!"

"Commander, don't stop!!"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the ship girls finally came to their senses and rushed towards the young man on the ground, surrounding him in a tense atmosphere.

The villagers who were watching were terrified and screamed. They rarely saw such violence before.

The village streets were instantly thrown into chaos.

Just as Xiaobai was staring blankly at the chaotic street in front of her, and like the mercenary group's ship girls, she was in a state of prolonged understanding, to the point of being somewhat dazed, a soft little hand swiftly slid down Xiaobai's thigh to the back of her knee, grabbed Xiaobai's shoulder, and directly picked her up in a horizontal embrace.

"Whoa?" A dizzying sensation ran through her as Little White fell into a soft embrace. She looked up and saw the magnificent Pompeii winking at her. "Eh? Pompeii..."

"Hehe, let's run away while their attention isn't on us!" Pompeii said, turning around and lifting his leg, transforming into a small whirlwind as he hopped and skipped down the street, running back the way he came.

Between running and jumping.

As Little White and Pompeii left the street in the center of the village, the noise behind Little White gradually subsided, faded away, and finally disappeared into silence.

Lying in Pompeii's arms, Xiaobai stared blankly at the wind whistling past her ears, and secretly raised her head to glance at Pompeii's cheek.

Pompeii's cheeks were delicate and snow-white. When viewed from below, one could see Pompeii's entire delicate, fair, pointed chin and his full, pink lips that were slightly upturned due to pleasure.

how to say.

He had just finished beating someone up when someone grabbed him and ran away.

It did indeed have a slightly romantic feel to it.

"Hmm?" Seemingly sensing Xiaobai's gaze, Pompeii, who was running away, lowered his head, met Xiaobai's gaze, and laughed, "Admiral Xiaobai, how is it?"

"Huh? What do you mean, how is it..."

"I just beat that guy up pretty badly, did you enjoy it?"

“Uh…” Xiaobai pondered.

Although Xiaobai does not advocate violent behavior such as hitting people.

If you really want to ask Xiaobai whether he was happy or not, at least the leader of that mercenary group who maliciously raised prices and tried to drive him away did make Xiaobai quite uncomfortable. Pompeii's kick, however, made Xiaobai a little happy.

Otherwise, Xiaobai wouldn't have found the scene romantic.

"It seems you really dislike mercenaries, Pompeii..."

After thinking it over, Xiaobai, not knowing what to say, could only smile at Pompeii and say something to change the subject.

"A mercenary group..."

Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Pompeii slowed down its rapid running through the streets. Pompeii nodded slightly, cautiously looking back at the street behind it for a while. After confirming that no one was chasing it, it put Xiaobai back on the ground. "Come down first. Sure enough, no one noticed us just now."

With both feet firmly planted on solid ground, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mercenary groups and wandering ship girls like us are class enemies. Especially since there are some mercenary groups in this world with more radical methods, those are even more annoying." Pompeii said to Xiaobai, "You see, the reason why we wandering ship girls travel is ultimately because we like freedom, being unrestrained, and wanting to see the world, which is very big."

"Uh...that makes sense."

"Then look at the mercenary groups. They're just a bunch of unorganized, spontaneous civilian organizations, all driven by profit. They inflate prices, cheat and swindle. Sometimes, to get us traveling ship girls to join and improve their combat power, they'll even resort to dirty tricks and sabotage at the slightest disagreement." Pompeii patted his chest. "Putting aside the fact that our positions are completely different, Zara and I have suffered a lot of bullying from mercenary groups in the past ten years of traveling. That kick I gave you just now wasn't enough to vent our anger."

"Ah... I see." Xiaobai scratched her cheek and nodded thoughtfully. "I understand... So what should we do next?"

"What do you mean, what should we do?" Pompeii blinked.

“You just suddenly attacked someone in the street in front of the villagers. Those mercenaries should all remember us… In this village, no matter how you look at it, we're the bad guys who started it. Doesn't that put us in a very awkward position…”

“Ah.” Pompeii was taken aback.

"……"noob.

"..." Pompeii blushed, lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, and rubbed his hands shyly.

"Pompeii...you wouldn't be......"

"I'm sorry... I was so focused on having fun that I didn't think about what to do afterwards..." Pompeii shrank his neck, his voice low and full of embarrassment, "I... I feel like I've dragged you into this..."

"..." Xiaobai tilted her head and glanced at the sky.

--how to say.

—I feel that things have turned out this way, which is not something that Xiaobai could have predicted.

Even newbies might be slowly starting to accept the thought process of ship girls...

Xiao Bai shifted his gaze back to Pompeii, who looked embarrassed.

In short, although Pompeii beat up the mercenary leader in front of innocent villagers, it didn't really have much of an impact on Xiaobai.

Of course.

The meaning of "not much impact" by Xiaobai does not refer to whether Xiaobai has a way to quell the mercenary group's anger or improve the reputation of the mercenary group that Pompeii kicked into hostility.

The reason it doesn't affect Xiaobai much is mainly because Xiaobai is powerful enough. It's just a grassroots swindling and fraud organization. The entire group combined probably can't even beat the Wisconsin gang next to Xiaobai. Whether they are hostile to him or not is actually irrelevant to Xiaobai.

Moreover.

At worst, the newbie can just show his admiral's certificate.

With the world's number one naval base here, which fearless civilian organization would dare to settle scores with Xiaobai?

"Don't worry about my affairs for now... it shouldn't be anything serious." Xiaobai thought for a while and shook her head. "But Pompeii, you and Zara... might... be targeted as enemies."

"Uh." Pompeii didn't dare to look directly at Xiaobai.

From the perspective of a passerby.

The villagers were unaware of the mercenary group's fee traps and couldn't perceive the individual strengths of the ship girls. If they only considered who had more people, the mercenary group had a huge advantage.

If the mercenary group takes advantage of this, Pompeii will likely become known as a bully in the village and suffer the consequences.

"..." Xiaobai lowered his head and carefully examined Pompeii from bottom to top. After memorizing Pompeii's image, he reluctantly raised his head and looked at Pompeii. "So, Pompeii, are you and Zara going to run away from this village?"

Even for a newbie naval base, a novice shouldn't casually stand up for outsiders, as that would damage the base's good reputation.

If you say so.

Pompeii's only option left was to pack her things and leave the village before the mercenary group recovered.

Pompeii and Zara are both extremely powerful ship girls. If it comes down to strength alone, no mercenary group could really do anything to these two once they leave the village.

Leave the village.

Actually, this shouldn't be a difficult thing for Pompeii and Zara, since they had said before that they would protect this village without taking a penny.

Now that Mirror Flower has commissioned the Newbie Town Guardian at a high price, with the power of the Newbie Town Guardian, even if Pompeii and Zara leave this village, Whitey can protect the village well. Zara and Pompeii should have nothing to regret now.
