Elder brother's garrison

"Hmm... let's not talk about this now." Jinan pouted, put away the timer, and her expression quickly brightened. "Hehe, but I was right, wasn't I? The Admiral completely defeated Frederick the Great!"

"...When did you say that?"

"I already said it, of course I said it!" Jinan jumped up and down, waving his hands in the air. "I have complete trust in the Admiral!"

The ship girls looked at Jinan, especially Yixian and Chongqing, their gazes filled with emotion and deep thoughts.

The ship girls recalled the gleaming saber that had appeared in Shiro's hand when she was fighting Frederick the Great.

Regarding that knife... actually, this wasn't the first time Yixian and the others had heard about it.

In the naval base story, which has been embellished and revised countless times by the maids of the Deep Sea Academy, Xiaobai, the admiral of the naval base, forged that sword on the sea in Chapter 8 using his own ship equipment as material. Only then was he able to turn the tide of the battle and defeat Frederick the Great with that indestructible and magical power.

But this was indeed the first time that Yixian and the others had witnessed the power of Xiaobai's Deep Sea Killer weapon firsthand.

Before this, the ship girls only thought of it as a knife that could cut through iron like mud.

Montana could replicate similar weapons using the power of the Nano Legion, but possessing these weapons did not give her a significant advantage in her battle against Frederick the Great; she merely gained the qualifications to compete with him.

That's why the ship girls were actually a little scared when they first heard that Jinan was going to instigate Xiaobai to fight Frederick the Great.

The ship girls were afraid that Frederick the Great might have developed a resistance to the razor-sharp melee weapons. Thanks to her so-called passive ability of "secondary nullification," she was no longer afraid of this type of attack...

The ship girls are afraid that even if Shiro were to wield that legendary sword now, he might not be able to defeat Frederick the Great in a short time, just like Montana...

The ship girls were even afraid that if their admiral actually fought, he might not perform as well as Montana...

But in reality, the situation is completely different.

Ultimately, the weapon that Montana copied was nothing more than a counterfeit.

The blade in the admiral's hand was by no means an ordinary knife capable of cutting through iron like mud.

As long as the admiral can get close enough, just one strike... just one strike is enough to deal tons of devastating damage to Frederick the Great, something Montana's counterfeit could never achieve.

The ship girls felt extremely conflicted when they thought about this.

As for Jinan, seeing the ship girls all wearing expressions of regret, as if saying "Oh no, I think I underestimated the admiral," she felt particularly refreshed and curled her lips into a victorious smile.

Jinan is different from Yixian, Chongqing, Ying Ruizhaohe, Ninghai and Pinghai.

Jinan is one of the very few ship girls in the entire naval base who had the privilege of facing Xiaobai's Deep Sea Killer from the perspective of an opponent... And Jinan still clearly remembers the fear that permeated her entire body and even touched her soul when she was just a research ship girl construction machine, and Xiaobai took out that Deep Sea Killer and threatened her with the murderous aura and cold light of the blade to obey her...

Only those who have been pointed at by that knife know how terrifying the deep-sea assassin in the Admiral's hands is!

Jinan knew, Montana certainly knew, and even Frederick the Great himself knew that the three of them were ship girls and deep-sea beings who had "had the good fortune" to experience the power of the deep-sea killer.

That's why the three of them clearly knew how far Montana's replica of the Deep Sea Killer was from the real thing... As the saying goes, there is still a gap as wide as a firefly and the bright moon between two equally impressive replicas, which cannot be crossed or even looked up to.

Jinan is never worried that Xiaobai will lose.

Jinan's reason for instigating Xiaobai to fight Frederick the Great was actually out of curiosity to see just how powerful this thing was—after all, in Jinan's view, the only opponent in the world who could make her admiral wield this sword and launch a full-scale attack without worrying about accidentally killing someone seemed to be Frederick the Great.

First of all, Montana is definitely not an option.

After all, Montana doesn't have Frederick the Great's superhuman regenerative abilities. If the Admiral really cut her in two, it wouldn't be a joke...

Jinan smiled contentedly.

Smiling alongside Jinan was Montana, standing opposite Frederick the Great.

Montana looked at Frederick the Great, her face full of a refreshing smile. Although there was no hostility or ill will in that smile, it inexplicably had the effect of drawing attention.

Frederick the Great, his face covered with a white veil, "looked" at Montana. Seeing her incredibly irritating smile, Frederick the Great remained silent for a long while.

Frederick the Great seemed unwilling to pay attention to Montana.

But Montana, as if he had marked Frederick the Great, took the initiative to approach at this moment.

"Frederick, before you fought the Admiral, did you never think you would win?" Montana asked with a smile as he approached Frederick the Great.

"..." Frederick the Great was silent for a moment. She did not answer Montana, but spoke indifferently, "...Did you think I would win before?"

“Hmm? No.” Montana shook her head, gave a light snort, and said to Frederick the Great with one hand on her crotch, “I don’t think you can win at all… In fact, I think it would be a long time if you could last a minute against the admiral.”

"..." Frederick the Great.

“Well, after all, I once fought against an admiral wielding a sword…” Montana chuckled and spread her hands. Her smile briefly turned slightly troubled, but then brightened again. “I’ve experienced firsthand just how terrifying the admiral’s sword was. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to replicate it, right? Hmm… But judging from its appearance, it seems that the sword I painstakingly created is just an empty shell with a tiny bit of charm.”

"If that's the case, why are you making me fight her?"

“You’d have to ask me that,” Montana said. “I only spoke up for you because I could tell you wanted to fight the Admiral.”

"..."

"So, it's about time you answered my question," Montana asked with a smile. "You seemed to be having a lot of fun when you fought the Admiral. Did you ever think you could win? Even if there was only a slight possibility?"

"I never thought I could win."

Frederick the Great answered, reaching out to gently stroke the tip of her nose, her fingers finally tracing down her rosy lips, her snow-white chin, the center of her chest, and finally down to her navel.

The cuts that Xiaobai left on Frederick the Great have completely healed.

But Frederick the Great stroked the spot where the cutting line had once stood, his fingers tracing the skin, and he could almost feel the sharp, razor-sharp wound.

Chapter 3826 The Torture of Lexington

Frederick the Great stopped speaking after that.

Montana waited for a long time but did not receive a reply from Frederick the Great. She blinked thoughtfully and her gaze unconsciously drifted to the ship girls beside her.

"Oh I got it."

Montana seemed to understand something. She ran her fingers through her hair, raised her face to Frederick the Great, and smiled admiringly.

"Like something you could do."

"..."

Frederick the Great remained motionless as he listened to Montana's voice.

On the sea, only the ship girls from Chongqing looked on with puzzled expressions, as if they couldn't understand their conversation.

In the silence, the super-large teleportation vortex was summoned.

After packing their belongings, the group led Frederick the Great through the teleportation vortex and returned to the newbie garrison.

……

After crossing the whirlpool, Xiaobai and his group returned to the entrance of the canteen at the newbie garrison.

It was midday, and the ship girls were arriving at the cafeteria one after another for lunch. When Xiaobai and her group appeared through the whirlpool, the ship girls passing by all turned their surprised gazes toward them. Their expressions became particularly interesting when they saw Frederick the Great among them.

"Eh... Admiral?"

"Admiral... Good afternoon?"

"Frederick is here too..."

"..."

The ship girls tentatively greeted Xiaobai and his group.

Xiaobai smiled and raised her hand, waving to the ship girls.

"Oh no... Now Lexington has no choice but to know." Xiaobai looked at the ship girls passing by with curious expressions and felt a little emotional.

"Uh……"

Although Yixian stood expressionless behind Xiaobai, Chongqing, Yingrui, Zhaohe, Ninghai, and Pinghai all made strange, indescribable sounds, as if something was stuck in their throats, unable to be swallowed or spat out. Afterwards, their expressions turned extremely sullen and fearful.

It seems I can't escape being summoned to Lexington's office...

Xiaobai scratched her head, looked at the pale blue sky and sighed. Then, as if she remembered something, she reached out and gently took Frederick the Great's left wrist.

"..."

Frederick the Great looked at Xiaobai, her hands naturally relaxed, letting Xiaobai lift her wrists.

"Admiral, what are you doing?" the ship girls asked one after another.

“Hmm… I was looking at Frederick the Great’s deep-sea aura shielding device…” Xiaobai looked at Frederick the Great’s wrist with some worry, “The deep-sea aura shielding device she had before broke before the battle started, and now we have to find a way to get a second one to replace it.”

"Ah, there should be plenty over in Akashi, Admiral."

“It’s not working out with Akashi anymore… I went to her place yesterday and took everything, I don’t know if she’s continued working on it today…” Xiaobai thought for a while, then shook her head.

"Oh..." the ship girls responded subconsciously. They looked at Frederick the Great for a while, then suddenly frowned. "Hmm? Wait a minute, Admiral... since Frederick the Great no longer has a deep-sea aura shielding device, why isn't her deep-sea aura emanating from her?"

"It's simple. She used all her deep-sea energy to heal her injuries, so she's currently in a state of depleted deep-sea energy," Xiaobai explained to the ship girls in detail. "But it's okay... As long as the ship equipment is intact, the Deep Sea Dean's body will generate deep-sea energy on its own. After a while, it should slowly return to its previous state."

"what……"

“I can go back to the prison first,” Frederick the Great said to Little White. “There are some spare deep-sea aura shielding devices in the prison, which Lexington gave me before.”

"Hey? In such a hurry? Why don't you grab a bite to eat before you go?" Xiaobai pointed to the cafeteria.

"..."

Frederick the Great stared expressionlessly at Xiaobai through the white gauze, and finally shook his head. He slowly extended his other hand toward Xiaobai, and faint black and red energy could be seen on his palm.

Frederick the Great's body has begun to slowly continue producing deep-sea energy.

Although the newbie naval girls are now used to the presence of the Deep Sea Dean, Frederick the Great is different from other Deep Sea Deans. If her Deep Sea aura is too obvious, it will eventually frighten the children.

"Alright." Xiaobai looked regretfully at Frederick the Great's hand, then looked up at him and said, "Then next time for sure?"

"it is good."

Frederick the Great nodded, gently lowered her hand, and then turned and silently walked toward the prison.

Crack... Crack...

The crisp sound of the iron chain scraping across the ground lingered.

As everyone watched Frederick the Great's figure disappear around the bend leading to the prison, Zhao He cautiously approached Chongqing after a while.

"Sister from Chongqing... Frederick the Great... she doesn't seem as scary as she looks when you get along with her."

“…Well…” Chongqing lowered her head, reaching out to rub Zhao He’s head, “Time will tell…well…”

"..." Yi Xian.

"Ugh... Pinghai is hungry..." Pinghai said softly, clutching his stomach.

"Didn't you just finish eating?" Ning Hai looked at Ping Hai.

"No, Pinghai only ate a little bit."

"Sigh... I eat so much, where did all the weight go..." Ning Hai sighed.

"Hmm, it's right at the cafeteria entrance, and it's about lunchtime. Why don't we go grab something to eat first?" Xiaobai asked the ship girls.

"Oh! Okay!"

"Shall we have lunch together, Admiral? Sure, sure!"

The ship girls reacted enthusiastically immediately.

"Okay, let's have lunch first!" Xiaobai smiled and raised her fist at the ship girls.

"Lunch!" Pinghai and Zhaohe excitedly raised their fists and responded to Xiaobai.

Opportunities to dine with the Admiral are rare indeed.

The ship girls felt as if they had received a timely rain from heaven, and were overjoyed.

……

Although being able to eat with the admiral is a good thing for the ship girls, unfortunately... in the end, Shiro and the other ship girls still didn't have the chance to go into the cafeteria.

Just as they were about to enter the canteen for lunch, several destroyers nimbly appeared in front of Xiaobai and her group, delivering a message to them precisely on time.

"Admiral, Admiral, Lexington wants to speak with you in his office!"

"Sister Lexington said that everyone around the Admiral should go, and no one should be left out!"

"Lexington also said that the admiral should go as soon as possible, within five minutes!"

"And there's more..."

The destroyers were gesticulating wildly as they spoke.

Looking at the smiling faces of the destroyers, Xiaobai and his group felt a sudden, painful expression, as if they were about to be beheaded in a marketplace.

As expected... in the end, they didn't even get a hot meal...
