Elder brother's garrison

Page 1948

Even though both Richelieu and I are max-level ship girls, our combat performances differ so much. It's clear that combat experience is very important. And most importantly, these newbie battleship girls in the naval base are so powerful, yet they maintain such a humble and friendly attitude when faced with praise and admiration from others. They don't become arrogant or complacent about their strength at all, and this attitude is something I should learn from.

The ship girls in the newbie naval base are really amazing, in every sense of the word.

As expected, my journey as a battleship girl is still very long...

Just as Veneto was marveling at the praise, Richelieu, who was being complimented, couldn't help but turn his head to look at the person beside him.

Beside Richelieu, Jean Bart was carrying the main gun barrel that was emitting white smoke, sticking out his cute little tongue and smiling at Richelieu.

"Hehe, my shelling seems to be a little faster than yours, sister," Jean Bart said with a laugh. "Sister, sister, you haven't been in combat for two years, so your skills have gotten stiff, haven't they?"

“…” Richelieu looked helplessly at her younger sister’s smile, which was not malicious but full of a little smugness. She sighed and reached out to pat Jean Bart on the head. “Nothing of the sort.”

Of the two shots that just blasted away the deep-sea giant ship, only the second shot was fired by Richelieu.

The first shot should have been fired by this quirky little sister.

Richelieu's actions were indeed somewhat stiff just now because she hadn't had any real combat experience in a long time, which was absolutely true. However, Richelieu wasn't a ship girl who cared a lot about her reputation. Even though her younger sister temporarily surpassed her in terms of reaction time to artillery fire, she wouldn't make any excuses to save face.

On the contrary.

Seeing Jean Bart display such excellent artillery skills, Richelieu even felt a sense of relief.

Everyone says that Jean Bart's abilities are formidable, and her power is enough to manipulate the admirals and ship girls of the entire eighth chapter. But even if we disregard her abnormal stealth ability, Jean Bart's artillery firepower as a blank battleship girl is good enough to be on par with, or even slightly better than, this veteran of the battlefield.

She's clearly a new ship girl who was only created by Admiral Lu Lin a couple of days ago...

Is this the perk of being a special ship girl?

Jean Bart not only possesses such powerful skills, but she also arrives at max level with her character fully trained. Most importantly, besides her top-tier training, she naturally possesses top-notch combat abilities to match her maxed-out training. This can't be explained simply by calling her a ship girl genius; it's practically like a wish-fulfillment storyline from a ship girl master's account deletion and rebirth…

It's really touching.

Veneto still didn't understand...

With such an invisible younger sister by his side at all times, Richelieu felt that it was already quite remarkable that he didn't feel inferior, let alone complacent.

The ship girls from the newbie naval base and Nia's ship girls waited briefly on the sea. Soon, the flames on the sea slowly died down.

The hull of the Deepsea Abyss, which perished in the sea of ​​fire, was charred and fragile, like a cookie that would crumble at the slightest touch. With a gentle breeze from the sea, the remains of the Deepsea Abyss made a creaking sound as they crumbled.

Changchun and Anshan sped into the extinguished inferno area and quickly retrieved several pieces of deep-sea metal that shimmered with brilliant light.

"These deep-sea metals are of really good quality, they're so shiny!" Changchun held up the deep-sea metals to Veneto, presenting them with both hands. "Sister Veneto, here! This is for you!"

"Huh?! We didn't do anything, we can't take this!" Veneto was stunned. She quickly waved her hands and shook her head rapidly.

"But aren't we on a joint expedition? We're partners, so we should naturally share the spoils from the seas..."

“Even between sisters, accounts must be kept clear. We didn’t contribute, so we can’t take a share of this deep-sea metal!” Veneto’s attitude was exceptionally firm. “Although this deep-sea metal is big and round, if I accept it, I won’t be able to sleep at night!”

“Sister Veneto, you’re being too formal…” Changchun pouted. “My admiral and your admiral have such a good relationship, and my admiral likes you so much. We all treat the ship girls in your naval base as family now, but you still treat us like outsiders.”

"No, that's not what I meant..." When Veneto heard Changchun say that Xiaobai liked her, she blushed immediately, lowered her head and started to tug at the hem of her clothes, and her resistance weakened a little.

"If that's not what you mean, then accept it." Changchun smiled and pushed the deep-sea metal into Veneto's arms. "Don't worry, after we set off, all our actions will be protected by our respective admirals' networks. If they really disagree, they will notify us through the admiral network. Besides, if Sister Veneto feels bad, she can just share half of the deep-sea metal she gets with us later!"

“…” Veneto held the deep-sea metal in his arms, his expression complicated, and he was speechless for a moment.

Veneto really wanted to say, "With the capabilities of your opening bombardment, any deep-sea creature that appeared within your attack range was instantly killed by your bamboo shoots before we could even make a move. How are we supposed to possibly compete with you guys?"

However, seeing the friendly smiles of the new naval officers, Veneto opened her mouth but didn't say anything.

Just as Veneto was feeling deeply conflicted, she felt a gentle tapping behind her.

Veneto initially thought it was Rome and the Empire calling her, but when she turned around, she found that standing behind her was none other than her own Taihou.

“Veneto… Did I hear that right? Admiral Lu Lin likes you?” Taihou held her black hair in one hand, covered her mouth with her other hand in surprise, and her eyes sparkled with a strange light. “No wonder I’ve been seeing you staying in Admiral Lu Lin’s dormitory until the morning lately. Is your ultimate goal not our commander, but Admiral Lu Lin?”

"No, it's not that kind of thing! What Changchun said about Admiral Lu Lin's liking for me isn't that kind of thing. I, I, I really respect Admiral Lu Lin!" Veneto blushed and quickly explained.

"I understand, I understand, I understand everything." However, Taihou seemed completely oblivious to Veneto's words. She patted Veneto's shoulder with a smile and said reassuringly, "Oh dear... it seems I don't have to treat you like a pest anymore, Veneto. Hehehe, it's so nice to have one less formidable rival vying for the Commander position~"

Chapter 2721 The Golden Female Admiral Twins

No matter how Veneto explained, Dafeng said she wouldn't listen.

"Admiral Lu Lin and I really don't have that kind of relationship!"

"Even if we're not in that kind of relationship now, does that mean we don't want to be in that kind of relationship?"

"No, it doesn't exist!"

"But don't you go to Admiral Lu Lin's dormitory every day?"

"Not every day. It's just that the Roman Empire women like to go to Admiral Lu Lin for heart-to-heart talks, so I accompany them... just occasionally..." (whispering)

"look."

"What are you looking at? There's no such thing!"

"Can you guarantee that you haven't had any intimate relations with Admiral Lu Lin?"

"I promise!"

"For example, let Admiral Lu Lin give your full breasts a good (censored) treatment?"

"...This...this is just normal playful banter between girls! The Empire often treats me like this too!"

"Did the commander touch it...?"

"..." Veneto was speechless.

Veneto is now genuinely feeling that the more he tries to explain, the worse it gets.

Ask yourself.

Veneto genuinely believes that although Admiral Lu Lin is kind, capable, gentle, and cute, she is considerate of everyone and everything, never causing trouble for others, meticulous, and thorough in her work. She is also like an all-powerful blue robot cat who can use magical means to fulfill other people's wishes. This kind of existence, which gives people a sense of security and novelty at the same time, is simply a perfect romantic partner. Veneto personally enjoys being with Xiaobai, but in the end, Veneto is not Xiaobai's ship girl. So for now, she really only regards Xiaobai as a very reliable and deeply trustworthy elder or friend.

Veneto did not harbor any rebellious thoughts towards Little White.

Including the question Taihou just asked Veneto about why Veneto only allows Shiro to have close contact with her... Actually, Veneto hadn't really paid much attention to this. To Veneto, Nia was not only a strong and reliable admiral, but also a family member she could trust enough. If Nia were to suggest wanting to snuggle up to Veneto for comfort or something like that, Veneto would feel incredibly shy, but naturally she wouldn't refuse. In this world, besides the lovable Empire, probably only Shiro and Nia would have this honor. Apart from these three, even if Littorio and Rome made such a request, Veneto would probably refuse on the grounds of being too shy.

However, Veneto also knew that her commander was obsessed with Admiral Lu Lin and treated everyone else with extreme restraint and politeness. When they were at the naval base, she would never run to a ship girl's arms to act cute. She would even apologize if she accidentally touched the hand of the ship girl sitting next to her while eating.

During the few days that Admiral Lu Lin stayed here, Veneto was quite surprised to see his commander sticking to Admiral Lu Lin's side every day, hugging and kissing her affectionately, and acting as if they were inseparable.

If it weren't for Admiral Lu Lin's timely appearance, Veneto would have really thought that her commander was a nun who never ate meat.

“The Commander’s situation… is beyond my control.” Veneto took a deep breath and said to Taihou with a helpless expression, “Forget it, stop teasing me, I really feel like I’m making things worse by explaining myself…”

“I think Veneto, you just haven’t realized what you’re thinking yet!” Dafeng said, pointing at Veneto.

"What ideas? I think you just want one less person competing with you for the commander position," Veneto retorted.

"Oops, I've been exposed?" Da Feng quickly withdrew her hand, blinking rapidly while gently poking her index finger.

“You… sigh…” Veneto sighed deeply.

That's it, that's it.

This isn't the right time to argue with Taiho...

Veneto turned his gaze back to the surrounding sea.

The reason why the Abyssal Gathering Point is called the Abyssal Gathering Point is because the Abyssal ships on the sea have a tendency and habit of gathering in this place. So even if the ship girls of the newbie naval base have already sent out a fleet of Abyssal ships in an instant, as long as they are still in the Abyssal Gathering Point, other Abyssal fleets will eventually appear here.

The area of ​​the deep-sea gathering point is quite large; if you want to cross this area, you'll encounter enemies at least a few times.

Veneto exchanged glances with the ship girls from the newbie naval base and nodded to each other.

After collecting their spoils, the two fleets sped off in one direction.

As the fleet moved forward, the second deep-sea fleet soon appeared in front of the newbie naval base and Veneto and the others.

Golden deep-sea behemoths emerged from the waves, roaring as they raised their massive cannons and approached.

Perhaps the ship girls of the newbie naval base considered that if they continued to launch a relentless opening bombardment, Veneto's side would not get any chance to fight. Therefore, when facing the second wave of the Abyssal Fleet, the ship girls of the newbie naval base did not launch the fierce opening attack as before. Instead, they suppressed their firepower as much as possible and maneuvered around the Abyssal Fleet.

Veneto was deeply moved; the sisters in the rookie naval base were truly... she cried her eyes out.

"Rome, the Empire, prepare for battle!"

Veneto, controlling the ship's equipment, called out to her sisters behind her.

The ship girls of Nia's family finally threw themselves into the exhilarating battle.

……

On the high seas, cannons roared.

Meanwhile, the beach was unusually quiet.

Xiao Bai sat in the tent, aimlessly drawing circles on the ground with her toes, then looked left and right at Luo Lian and Nia sitting on either side of her.

Luo Lian was looking down, holding a pencil, and seriously working out the questions for the second set of scientific research questions on the draft paper. She was extremely focused at the moment, as if she had simply put everything else out of her mind.

On the other side, Nia sat in a chair with her eyes closed.

Nia appeared calm and composed, her breathing even, but in Xiaobai's perception, Nia's admiral network was fluctuating at a rather rapid frequency.

Nia is probably using the Admiral's Network to monitor the status of her ship girls in real time. Right now, she's probably just like Luo Lian, too busy to care about her feelings in the real world.

Xiao Bai was left standing there by his two best friends, and for a while no one spoke or paid any attention to him.

Xiao Bai withdrew his leg, looked at Luo Lian's face for a while, then turned his head and gently touched Nia's cheek. Then he slowly slid his hand down, across Nia's full breasts and soft armpits, and stopped at her slender waist. Finally, he raised his fingers in vain and gently rubbed a strand of Nia's red hair.

so boring.

Little White hugged her legs and tilted her head to look at Nia.

Before Nia activated the Admiral Network, she could go on expeditions with Nia and chat on the beach. Now that Nia has activated the Admiral Network, she has to constantly use it to sense the status of the expeditionary ship girls and issue various commands. While this greatly improves her efficiency in commanding the ship girls, it also leaves Nia's real-world body with almost no time to attend to other matters.

"Is this how all admirals with admiral networks command ship girls...? Unlike me..." Xiaobai looked at Nia's cheek and muttered to himself with deep regret, "Sigh... even if I, a half-baked one, were to command ship girls, I really couldn't come up with anything good..."

“…” Nia.

"..." Luo Lian.

Xiaobai took out her phone and browsed the Admiral Forum again, but she had already read through most of the content that interested her, and she didn't want to click on anything that didn't interest her.

After scrolling through her phone for a while, Xiaobai sighed, turned off the screen, and stuffed it back into her clothes.

I can't take it anymore, it feels so empty.

In the past, when I went on expeditions, there were always people on the beach to talk to. Even if I didn't have my admiral friends around, at least I had ship girls...

Xiao Bai covered his head and sighed regretfully.

When I set off tomorrow... I should bring Missouri and Fubuki along too, that way at least they can keep me company and talk to me.

However, if they were around, they might disturb Nia and Lianlian's work... which would be another big problem.

Let's just bring Missouri over.

With Missouri around, as long as I can hold her hand, it won't be too boring. But if I only bring Missouri, Iowa and Fubuki will be unhappy, which is another problem... Hmm...

As Xiaobai pondered, her thoughts quickly fell into a vicious cycle. She then quickly shook her head to clear her mind.

Forget it, let's not think about this now. Today isn't over yet. We can think about tomorrow's problems tomorrow.

The most urgent thing right now is to find something to do...

Thinking of this, Xiaobai glanced at Luo Lian and Nia, then secretly put on her shoes, lifted the tent flap, and went out.

Outside the tent, the wide beach stretched as far as the eye could see. Xiaobai stretched lazily towards the sea in front of the beach, took a long breath, and exhaled deeply.

The dozen or so admirals who were originally nearby had long since disappeared. Xiaobai stood at the tent entrance, looking around, thinking that he and Lorenia were the only three living people on the entire beach...

Ok?

and many more.

No, strictly speaking, there seem to be two people...

Xiao Bai stood at the tent entrance, squinting as he looked towards a direction on the beach. In Xiao Bai's field of vision, at the end of the beach, two golden figures seemed to appear.

Those were two blonde female admirals. Because they were quite far away, and because Xiaobai hadn't activated the ship girl vision yet, their appearances weren't very clear. However, judging from their figures, the two female admirals were graceful and slender, and seemed to be very young. One of them had a high ponytail, while the other had long, straight blonde hair that fluttered in the sea breeze.

They have such similar figures... Are they twins?

The moment Xiaobai saw these two people, a faint sense of familiarity welled up in her heart.

Before Xiaobai could even activate her ship girl vision, the blonde female admirals in the distance all raised their hands and waved at her as soon as they saw her.

"Oh dear, we finally found it!"

"It really is you!"
