Elder brother's garrison

Page 248

The so-called combat power is simply pure combat instinct.

Unlike training levels, which have fixed levels like one, two, ten, or even dozens of levels, this is something mysterious and unpredictable.

It is an experience that is closer to conditioned reflexes and technology.

The biggest benefit of Veneto's training for Helena and Wichita was not their skill level, but their combat ability.

For example, even after three days of rigorous training, their level was only around 20. Admittedly, a leveling speed of nearly 30 levels in three days is dizzying enough, but Veneto's training improved their combat instincts even more.

To put it simply, they can use a training level of around 20 to accurately unleash the strength of someone at nearly 40 levels.

So even though their training level wasn't particularly high, the sheer ferocity they exuded when they stood together was enough to shock those around them.

Seeing the ship girls in front of them, who looked like fierce gods, Ian's ship girls clearly backed down.

Ian's ship girls have an average level of nearly 40, so in a real fight, their strength is not inferior to Nia's ship girls, but they chickened out.

Upon their first meeting, the ship girls were overwhelmed by the fierce aura emanating from Cleveland and her comrades.

"Excuse me, we've kept you waiting. Are we late?" Xiaobai asked Ian.

“Let’s begin.” Ian didn’t answer Xiaobai, but looked at Nia calmly. “My team is the ship girls behind me. You should bring out your team too, whether it’s five or seven, it’s up to you.”

The admiral's training team is self-selected; he can field whatever he wants. As long as he can win, he doesn't need to care about the opponent's lineup at all.

As I've said before, exercises are all about resources and capabilities. If the admiral you're exercising with brings out a bunch of super ship girls with luxurious equipment and full numbers, you can't really say anything to him, since that's part of his strength. If you're not convinced, then bring out your full strength. If you can't, then you'll just have to bite the bullet and go for it.

Therefore, in the eyes of those around her, as long as Nia sends all seven of her ship girls into battle together, relying on the advantage of having two more kills than the opponent, the victory in this match will surely belong to Nia.

“My team also consists of five.” However, to everyone’s surprise, Nia shook her head and insisted that she would only send five ship girls as well.

Ian paused for a moment.

His lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

“Then let’s begin,” Nia said.

Ian nodded.

The five ship girls behind Ian gave Nia a deep look, then released their ship equipment and stepped onto the ocean.

Nia nodded to Xiaobai and winked at the ship girls behind them.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Nia's ship girl nodded, and then Cleveland, Helena, and Wichita stepped forward.

These three are also the most imposing among the ship girls behind Nia, especially Cleveland, whose aura is almost as fierce as Rome's three days ago.

The appearance of these three ship girls was within the expectations of the surrounding admirals.

Although I don't quite understand why Nia chose to select five ship girls instead of seven, at the very least, she should have chosen the strongest ones.

The first three are almost negligible, but the last two require some consideration.

The admirals looked at the two destroyers and two heavy cruisers behind Nia and pondered for a while.

These four ship girls seem to be of similar strength. Should we bring two destroyers to increase average speed and fleet flexibility? Or should we continue to bring two medium-sized ships to improve the fleet's artillery firepower? Or should we choose one destroyer and one heavy cruiser from each region?

No matter how you look at it, you can be right.

Just as everyone was deep in thought, reality once again slapped them in the face.

Then, Rome and the Empire, who were behind Xiaobai, walked out from behind her as if it were the most natural thing in the world and stood behind Helena and Wichita of Cleveland.

The scene suddenly became very awkward.

"Wait, wait, wait!!!" The surrounding admirals shouted in confusion, "These two ship girls aren't Nia's, are they?! What happened to the exercise between Nia and Ian? You're cheating!"

Rules seem to be quite important to the admiral.

At this point, many admirals began to protest.

"Huh? What are you talking about? The Empire and Rome are Nia's ship girls." At this moment, Veneto, who was standing next to Xiaobai, snorted coldly.

"What?" The onlookers stared at Veneto with wide eyes and astonished expressions.

They felt that this statement was meant to fool idiots.

“You can check if you don’t believe me. The Empire and Rome are indeed registered under Nia’s name,” Veneto said. “They’re just usually more attached to Admiral Lu Lin.”

"This—" The admirals around him looked extremely strange upon hearing this.

The Empire and Rome have always been associated with Veneto, and Veneto is Shiro's ship girl, so these people naturally assume that Rome and the Empire are also Shiro's ship girls.

Actually, that's not wrong either.

However, they forgot one thing: Rome and the Empire were ship girls that Xiaobai created after entering the first chapter.

—They haven't been incorporated into Shiro's garrison since they were built.

Transferring ship girls is very time-consuming and the process is quite complicated.

To protect the human rights of the ship girls, the transfer of a ship girl involves a week-long, unscheduled private phone call, during which designated personnel investigate whether the ship girl was coerced. Only after obtaining the ship girl's consent will the transfer permit be submitted to the corresponding governor's office.

As for when the busy Governor's Office will be able to process your message, it will probably take about half a year.

However, compared to the incredibly time-consuming process of transferring ship girls, the process of recruiting new ship girls is quite simple.

Even a simple signature and photo at the Admiral's Guild would suffice.

Therefore, the admiral assigned to Rome and the Empire was Nia.

The current Rome and Empire are nominally Nia's ship girls.

The two of them were sent out for the exercise, which was perfectly legitimate.

As for the fact that it would take about half a year for Rome and the Empire to relocate Xiaobai's garrison after the exercise, Xiaobai didn't care. Let the procedures be slow, as long as they went back with Xiaobai.

Seeing Veneto's expression that said, "I'm not afraid of your investigation at all," the surrounding admirals were at a loss for what to do with her.

After all, these admirals had never seen any evidence that Rome and the Empire belonged to Xiaobai; they had only seen the two of them living and walking with Xiaobai.

—Maybe I really am wrong.

The number of admirals holding this view began to increase.

“Do you have any objections? If so, you can verify them at any time.” Veneto turned to Ian and said to him.

"Whatever." Ian said expressionlessly.

Veneto ignored Ian and nodded to the Empire and Rome: "Did you hear that? You two, good luck. Oh, and Rome, if you don't win convincingly, your training will be doubled tonight."

"Double it again?" Roma looked at Veneto with a sorrowful expression.

"Then I'll practice with you for an hour instead."

"No need, no need," Roma shook his head quickly.

Rome may be resilient, but she's not a masochist.

An hour of rehearsals with my older sister would be enough to fill two hundred buckets in Rome, and she wouldn't even complain about the fatigue or the pain.

The three Egyptian gods of the Nia family and the Nia family's empire went to sea with Rome.

Veneto watched as his two younger sisters grew smaller and smaller in his sight, finally coming to rest in the safe waters some distance away.

The reason for having the Empire and Rome participate in the exercise with Nia was mainly because Ian still had a light carrier ship girl under his command. Ship girls with air attack capabilities often have the ability to fight against a larger force. Therefore, without the suppression of the Empire, which also has air superiority capabilities, Nia's victory might not have been so simple.

Besides, it would be even more legitimate to fight five against five.

The idea of ​​having the Empire and Rome become Nia's nominal ship girls to participate in this exercise was Veneto's idea.

Veneto crossed his arms, looked at his two sisters on the sea, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

Furthermore, there are two more crucial reasons for involving these two individuals in the exercise.

That means Rome has been humiliated by itself for so long, it's time to get some revenge on other people's ship girls.

as well as.

Veneto simply wanted to show others how amazing his sisters were.

Chapter 313 Imperial Classmates Are Not Energetic

The exercise can begin once both sides' ship girls have entered safe waters.

The safe zone where the ship girls are located is not far from the beach, but it is also quite a distance from the deep-sea territory. Therefore, the admirals here can roughly see the ship girls' battle with the naked eye. If they are equipped with binoculars, it is as if they are sitting in VIP seats, and they can see even more clearly.

Little White looked around.

She searched for a while and found Ringo and Mr. Barbatos on one side of the crowd.

Xiaobai walked up to Ringo: "Ringo, hello Mr. Barbatos."

Mr. Barbatos and Ringo were standing in a rather secluded spot, but the people around them still made room for them, so Xiaobai easily spotted them.

Mr. Barbatos stood behind Ringo and bowed to Shiro with a beaming smile.

Ringo nodded at Shiro, "Hello."

"Are you my brother's friend?" Xiaobai asked.

"elder brother?"

“Yes, I’m Lu Yun’s sister.” Xiao Bai pointed to herself.

"..." Ringo blinked and looked at Shiro, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

It seems that Ringo is unaware that she is her brother's sister.

After a short while, Ringo nodded, a rare gentle smile appearing on her usually calm face.

Her fleeting smile was like a night-blooming cereus, a beauty that captivated all the admirals who looked over, leaving them stunned and speechless.

"Ringo, let's go over there." Even though Xiaobai was a girl, she couldn't help but feel more fond of her after seeing such a beautiful smile. She then pointed to Nia's side and asked Ringo.

"Mm." Ringo's smile only lasted a few seconds before she reverted to her previous indifferent expression.

Xiaobai reached out and slowly grabbed at Lin Qing's hand.

However, Ringo subconsciously withdrew her hand.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I held your hand without your permission..." Xiaobai thought Ringo was the kind of person who didn't like physical contact, so she quickly apologized.

“No.” Ringo shook her head, then murmured softly, “…It’s not proper for people to touch each other.”

Oh, she seems to be quite a shy person.

Xiao Bai smiled and nodded: "Then come with me."

Ringo and Mr. Barbatos followed Little White to Nia's side.

The other admirals here don't know Ringo, but they do know Mr. Barbatos.

Mr. Barbatos is an executive member of the Admiral's Guild. If even he is so humble and courteous to this beautiful woman in a red yukata, then this beautiful woman must be the so-called Admiral Takahashi who came to investigate the fourth node.

Judging from Barbatos's attitude, he might even be one of the world's top-ranked super admirals.

Based on the events of the past few days, these admirals have roughly deduced Ringo's identity.

After all, most of the admirals are intelligent people.

"Ringo, what's your relationship with your brother?" Xiaobai asked the person behind her as she walked up to Nia.

“Senior,” Ringo said, her slender, delicate hand emerging from her wide sleeve, “is reliable.”

She was also holding an antique folding fan in her hand.

"Eh————" Looking at Ringo's innocent and hopeful expression, Xiaobai's little mind started to stir.

Everyone my brother knows is a weirdo or pervert.

One is the rogue governor Mu Yu, who likes to curry favor with powerful figures at the drop of a hat; the other is Mu Xi, whose true nature remains unclear.

Although the reason for the perversion may be directly related to the fact that the two are siblings, and that the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked as well, Xiaobai also feels that the older brother bears some responsibility.

Just when Xiaobai was about to despair of her brother's social circle, she finally met a normal person who had a good relationship with her brother.

She's perfectly normal, and seems to have a strong liking for her brother. She's also quite elegant and very beautiful. Although she's quiet, she has a gentle personality and seems like the type that would be perfect as a sister-in-law.

As soon as she thought about it, Xiaobai's feelings for Ringo increased even more.

It's so good to be normal. Normal people are the best. If everyone around my brother were a pervert like Mu Yu and Mu Xi, wouldn't that mean my brother is a pervert?

When did Ringo meet her brother?

"five years ago."
