Elder brother's garrison

Page 515

Bismarck was currently calling out names in front of the ship girls in turn, holding a notebook. Emerald, Enterprise, Constellation, Des Moines, CV16, Warspite, Cleveland and Takao Atago from Nia's family, Missouri who was taking advantage of the chaos, and Saratoga who had been forcibly dragged over were all standing in the line and announcing their names.

After arriving, Tirpitz sat down in Shiro's seat, looking half-dead, while the Fubuki sisters and Nagaharu stayed by Shiro's side.

After Bismarck finished calling the roll, he gave Xiaobai an OK sign with a natural expression.

"Little White, do you already have a solution?" Nia asked.

"What can we do?"

“It’s that…” Nia started to say, but then stopped, unsure how to explain.

"Ah...that." Xiaobai laughed, looking at Nia with an innocent and naive expression. "Nia, don't be so nervous. We're not here for revenge."

"Eh?"

"We're here to level up the ship girls," Xiaobai said with a smile to Nia, "and maybe bully them a bit while we're at it."

Chapter 699 The Slacker

Just as Xiaobai and Nia were getting ready on the beach, the group of admirals that Nia had pointed to were also looking in the direction Xiaobai and Nia were from.

"That's Nia, right?" one of the admirals asked the others, pointing in the direction Nia was.

“It’s her.” One of the admirals nodded, a slightly unfriendly expression on his face. “Haven’t she been staying at the first node all this time?”

"Who knows, he suddenly came back."

"Good to be back." A gloomy admiral glanced at Nia a few times from afar, then took out his phone and said, "I'll contact the vice-captain."

After saying that, the admiral walked to the side and made a phone call.

The other admirals glanced at the admiral making the phone call, then turned their attention to Little White next to Nia.

"Who is the admiral beside Nia?"

"I don't know, but it looks familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before."

"The second chapter is so vast, we might just brush past each other somewhere," one admiral said. "Those who can be with Admiral Nia must be quite strong."

"Not bad in terms of strength..." This honest remark made those around him ponder for a moment. They looked up and exchanged glances with each other. "So, should we still go out to sea?"

The admiral frowned as he looked at the considerable number of ship girls surrounding Xiaobai, and remained silent for a short while.

"What are you afraid of? Just go out to sea as usual." Just then, the gloomy admiral who had just gone to make a phone call returned to the team. "The vice-captain said he's coming right away and will bring all the large ship girls in the team with him."

"Bring them all??" Upon hearing this, the admirals present were all stunned. "Our large ship girls can form a bombardment squad and an air raid squad, right? This expedition must have cost a lot. Nia is powerful, but is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Their team consisted of a dozen or so admirals who excelled in the second chapter. Among these admirals were those whose fleet strength was comparable to Nia's. Some joined voluntarily, while others, like Nia, were coerced into joining reluctantly. In short, any admiral who showed promise in the second chapter would be offered a position by this team.

Therefore, if we consider this team as a whole, their fleet strength is far greater than that of the other admirals in the second chapter, or even combined.

The admirals present looked at the admiral making the phone call with confusion, not understanding the decision made by the vice-captain on the other end of the line.

If the entire main force of the fleet were to come out together and be integrated into one team, the combat power would be self-evident. However, doing so would consume a great deal of ship girl resources. If they were to go on an expedition for a day, it would probably take the entire admiral of the fleet several weeks of hard work to make up for the losses.

If this is merely an attempt to coerce Nia, then this is an excessive move.

"Just listen to what the vice-captain says." The gloomy admiral frowned as he looked at the admiral in front of him. "The core of the problem now is no longer Nia."

"Not Nia?" The admirals looked at the admiral in front of them in confusion.

"This is a matter of our team's reputation," the somber admiral said, gesturing with his chin towards Nia's direction. "Do you know the person next to Nia?"

"I don't know him." The admiral present quickly shook his head.

"The vice-captain was taught a lesson by that admiral at the first point."

"Huh?" The admirals' eyes widened in surprise.

"Although the vice-captain didn't bring many powerful ship girls, a slap in the face is a slap in the face." The gloomy admiral said, his gaze no longer looking in Nia's direction, "We must get our revenge."

After hearing this, the admirals present all fell silent.

They all looked at Xiaobai with a degree of sympathy.

On the other side of the beach, Nia was also hugging her arm, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

It's quite uncomfortable to feel like you're being watched and plotted against.

"Admiral, we're ready." Just then, Bismarck finished calling out names, stuffed the little notebook back into her ship equipment space, and walked back to Xiaobai.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Bismarck." Little White nodded to Bismarck.

"Tirpitz will stay here with you, the rest of you come with me," Bismarck called out to the ship girls behind her.

The ship girls echoed each other. Takao and Atago glanced in Nia's direction with a hint of worry, then looked at Tirpitz, who was sitting in Shiro's seat and whose fate was unknown. Only then did the worry in their eyes dissipate slightly.

Nia waved to Atago Takao to indicate that she was alright, and Atago Takao turned around with relief and followed Cleveland.

After bidding farewell to the admiral, the ship girls, led by Bismarck, went out onto the sea and gradually disappeared from sight amidst the rolling waves.

"Bismarck brought a lot of rapid repair devices." After Bismarck's figure disappeared from sight, Xiaobai said to Nia with a smile, "So she probably won't be back until soon. She should be able to improve her training level quite a bit."

"Ah... um." Nia glanced out of the corner of her eye at the admirals who were still watching her with peace of mind, and nodded.

Xiao Bai glanced at Tirpitz sitting in his chair, then patted his bottom and sat down on the beach. Luo Lian quickly moved to Xiao Bai's side, and Nia, after thinking for a while, also quickly moved to Xiao Bai's other side.

The admirals who had been watching Xiaobai and Nia watched as Xiaobai's ship girl set sail, but they did not take any action.

They waited and waited, and after a while, another train stopped at the edge of the beach, and a man led a dozen or so ship girls off the train.

The male admiral got off the train, looked around the beach, and quickly found the direction where Nia and Xiaobai were. A flash of anger quickly crossed his calm eyes, but he pretended not to see anything and led the ship girls behind him to the group of admirals.

"Vice Captain!" The gloomy admiral's expression vanished instantly upon seeing the male admiral. He approached the vice captain with a hint of obsequiousness, "You've arrived?"

"Ah."

“The white-haired admiral that Nia mentioned to you is right there.”

"I saw them." The male admiral said coldly, "How long have those ship girls been gone?"

"Less than five minutes."

“Alright.” Upon hearing this, the male admiral’s thin lips curled into a vengeful smile. He turned around and looked at the ship girls behind him. “You all know Cleveland, right? Once you find her, proceed according to plan.”

The ship girls behind the male admiral nodded with slightly numb expressions. Following the male admiral's instructions, they split into two teams and then slowly released their ship equipment.

A flash of white light appeared, and six massive battleship rigging and six aircraft carrier light carrier rigging emerged one after another behind the ship girl. The large amount of steel combined together resembled a small fortress, causing the surrounding admirals to turn their gazes toward it.

The ship girls left the admirals present and went out to sea. Then, guided by the admirals, they sped straight towards the place where Bismarck and the others had disappeared.

"Because of what happened with the captain, I haven't had time to go find Nia and the others. I didn't expect them to run into the line of fire themselves." The male admiral snorted coldly.

"Vice Captain, how is the Captain?" the gloomy admiral asked with a forced smile.

The vice-captain glared coldly at the gloomy admiral, causing the admiral's expression to freeze for a moment before he laughed awkwardly, "I didn't ask anything, I didn't ask anything."

"Don't worry about things that aren't your concern," the vice-captain said, flicking his sleeves.

The words spoken by the admirals here were naturally overheard by some other admirals. This blatant targeting naturally aroused great dissatisfaction among some of the onlookers, and many admirals turned their indignant gazes toward this side.

However, a gaze is just a gaze, not an arrow, and cannot pierce the skin of these admirals. Moreover, under the cold gaze of the male admirals, these indignant admirals were afraid of getting into trouble and withdrew their gazes with a hint of helplessness.

On the high seas, the newly formed two squadrons of ship girls are searching for their Cleveland.

“Cleveland and the others have only been at sea for five minutes, they shouldn’t be too far away. At our speed, we should be able to catch up.” One of the ship girls in the two groups said to the ship girls behind her, “Let’s hurry up. If they’re here at the fourth node to do a mission, they shouldn’t be going to remote places. It should be easy to find them. In short, let’s search the places they go to most often first.”

The ship girls nodded in agreement, then quickened their pace and headed in one direction.

The ship girls had sailed through the safe waters and were heading towards a place they frequented where the number of deep-sea amphibious ships was moderate when a chattering sound reached their ears.

The ship girls instinctively turned their gazes over, and saw a white-haired ship girl dressed in black standing in front of a group of ship girls sitting on the sea near the edge of the safe waters, holding a small notebook and speaking seriously.

"cv16, your training level is very low. You need to stick close to Saratoga later. Remember, your task is to prioritize keeping yourself from getting injured. Only consider attacking if you are not injured."

"Constellation, although your skill level is high, your combat experience is still too poor. You will lead the charge later. If you get injured, come to me to get a quick repair device."

"Jade, Ambition, you two are normal."

“Cleveland, stick with me.”

"Kaohsiung Atago, follow Cleveland closely."

“War-weariness.” Bismarck said, glancing at her notebook. She paused noticeably when she mentioned war-weariness.

Warspite, dressed in red, looked at Bismarck with a hint of excitement.

"Just play casually."

"Why am I always the one slacking off?!" Warspite slapped the seawater repeatedly, looking like she thought everyone was targeting her.

Chapter 700 Someone come here!!!

Faced with Warspite's helpless accusations, the emotionless Bismarck didn't even bother with Warspite anymore. She continued to issue orders to the other ship girls, assigning them all their duties.

The ship girls who came to snipe Cleveland stood blankly at the edge of the safe zone, staring at Bismarck and the ship girls sitting in front of her like a bunch of bratty kids.

“…Ah, Cleveland.” One of the ship girls pointed at Cleveland, who was sitting cross-legged on the water, and whispered to the other ship girls.

The tall ship girl nodded.

—I thought finding Cleveland would be quite troublesome, but they turned out to be surprisingly easy to find.

The tall ship girl looked at Bismarck's serious expression and felt a little strange.

The group of ship girls had gotten very close to Bismarck and her cubs, but even at this distance, Bismarck did not waver at all. She did not twitch her ears or look in their direction.

The feeling of being completely and utterly ignored is quite subtle.

It felt as if Cleveland's ship girl squad was deliberately waiting for her. The tall ship girl looked at the ship girls sitting on the sea and was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

After all, they weren't here to fight, but to steal monsters. Bismarck and the others stayed on the surface of the sea without moving or looking for prey, which left the tall ship girls who were focused on stealing monsters somewhat at a loss.

Just as the tall ship girl was thinking this, Bismarck finally finished reading what was in her little notebook. She stuffed the notebook into her clothes and then glanced in the direction of the tall ship girl.

Bismarck's eyes were bloodshot and cold. Suddenly being looked at by her, the tall ship girl felt as if she had been stabbed in the abdomen. She subconsciously took a step back and looked at Bismarck with some fear.

However, Bismarck had already averted her gaze, as if she had never looked in the direction of the tall ship girl.

"Do you all know your responsibilities?" Bismarck asked the bear cubs.

"We know," the ship girls drawled.

Bismarck then nodded.

The tall ship girl quickly calmed her racing heart and stared intently at Bismarck.

After Bismarck had said everything he needed to say, it seemed the next step was to go out to sea.

Bismarck reached out once again, touching her ship's equipment space.

The two squadrons of ship girls, led by the tall ship girl, immediately bowed down, as if guarding against some highly destructive weapon.

Then, under the gaze of all the ship girls, Bismarck took her hand out of her ship equipment space.

Bismarck was carrying a small bamboo basket filled with sandwiches, drinks, and a small inflatable cushion.

The ship girls in front of Bismarck raised their hands and shouted happily. Then they took Bismarck's bamboo basket, took out small air cushions and blew them up in a few breaths. As the air cushions expanded rapidly, the sandwiches in the bamboo basket were distributed. Before long, the ship girls happily held a tea party on the water.

The ship girls, led by the tall ship girl, stared blankly at Bismarck and her bear cubs.

Are they here for a camping trip?

"Nia-neechan's sandwich is so delicious!" Fubuki held up the sandwich in her hand, supporting herself on her slender legs as she knelt on the air cushion, smiling happily.

"Sister, don't talk while you're eating," Bai Xue said, wiping crumbs off Fubuki's face with a handkerchief.

"Sister, have some tea." Miyuki took out a thermos and handed it to Fubuki.

The tense sea was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The tall ship girl looked at the group of ship girls enjoying camping and couldn't help but be speechless.

Just then, Bismarck seemed to have "finally" noticed the group of ship girls. Bismarck looked over while chewing on a piece of toast and said, "Good morning."

After all, the tall ship girls were standing very close to Bismarck and the others, so what Bismarck said didn't even require the ship girl's level of hearing to reach the tall ship girls' ears.

The tall ship girl looked at Bismarck with a slightly embarrassed expression, but still nodded and said, "Hello."

"Please go ahead," Bismarck said, pointing to the sea and addressing the tall ship girls.

"...Don't you guys go hunting in the deep sea?" The tall ship girl thought for a long time, but still couldn't help asking this question.

"Take a break first," Bismarck said calmly, taking another bite of the toast in her hand.

The tall ship girl and her companions watched the ship girls having a great time behind Bismarck.

This goes beyond the definition of rest; this is clearly setting up camp.
