Elder brother's garrison

"Wow--"

A loud crash that shook the waves.

A deep-sea destroyer flipped over on the surface of the sea, slapping a fish that was cleaning its hull into the air. Then, the destroyer opened its massive mechanical maw and bit the fish, still splashing water, into its mouth, crunching and chewing for a few moments.

At last.

The deep-sea destroyer opened its massive jaws again, emitting a series of ecstatic, mechanical laughs.

"Gaga gaga gaga gaga—"

"Gaga gaga gaga gaga—"

The deep-sea destroyers basking in the sun around them seemed to be infected as well. They opened their massive mechanical mouths and let out a piercing, shrill mechanical laugh, slapping the water with their mechanical tails and splashing up bursts of water, as if this was one of the few pleasures in their lives.

"Gagagagagagagagaga—"

"Gagagagagagagagaga—"

"..."

Sunlight pierced through the thick black fog and shone on the hull of the deep-sea destroyer, casting golden patterns on the dark hull and radiating a golden glow.

"Whoosh—Bang!!"

Just then, a dazzling fireball crashed down from the direction of the sun, slamming the laughing deep-sea destroyer into the sea with a deafening roar, followed by a thunderous explosion.

The deep-sea destroyer was utterly powerless against the fireball.

Shattered pieces of golden metal splattered in all directions.

The creaking and cracking of the metal shell, along with the sound of an explosion, echoed around the water for a moment.

The deep-sea destroyers, who had been laughing loudly, were startled by the explosion and turned around. They turned their mechanical fish heads to look at the surface of the water where the explosion had just occurred. However, when they looked over, they only saw a large area of ​​deep-sea debris that had been shattered into pieces on the surface where their companions had been. The original shape was no longer there.

"Hiss—Awooo—"

It took the deep-sea destroyers a few seconds to grasp the fact that their comrades had been sunk in that instant. The thought that they might have suffered the same fate if they had been hit by the fireball made them roar angrily. Their mechanical tails slammed powerfully against the water beneath them, sending angry splashes into the sky before crashing back down and scaring away the fish and shrimp.

The deep-sea destroyers angrily surveyed their surroundings, roaring as their main guns emerged from their mouths, their slender barrels gleaming with a dark light as they eagerly searched for targets to fire upon.

at last.

Just now.

A slender and graceful figure appeared in the center of the deep-sea destroyers' field of vision.

It was a ship girl wearing a tight-fitting sailor uniform and with a head of beautiful short blue hair. She was carrying ship equipment on her back and was rushing towards this place at high speed.

"Ow!!"

"Ow!!"

……

The deep-sea destroyers shouted, and the destroyers they spat out were instantly flashed with fire of various sizes. Shells flew out with a bang, forming a small, dense barrage, bombarding the blue figure in the distance.

The blue-haired ship girl looked up and stared directly at the dense barrage of bullets. Without any sign of retreating, she charged forward, heading straight for the destroyers' barrage.

Boom——

Rumble rumble rumble —

Large and small shells rained down, turning the blue-haired ship girl and the sea area where she was located into a sea of ​​fire. Water splashed up and turned into a black curtain.

The deep-sea destroyers were stunned as they watched the blue-haired ship girl charge straight into their gunfire and ultimately perish in the flames. The blue figure that appeared showed no sign of retaliating; she hadn't even fired a single shot since she appeared, and was simply charging into their line of fire.

That didn't look like a fight.

It looks more like suicide.

The deep-sea destroyers stared in bewilderment at the distant sea of ​​fire. This was the first ship girl they had ever seen who cared less about her own life than the deep-sea amphibious ships.

"Awooo... Awooo? Awooo!!"

however.

Just as the deep-sea destroyers were gazing in bewilderment at the distant sea of ​​fire, a scene that shocked them unfolded.

In the sea of ​​fire.

A blue figure strode out from the boundless flames.

Ding ding dang dang...

A barrage of cannon bullets struck the blue figure, producing a series of crisp scraping sounds as they bounced and scattered across its body like popcorn.

The deep-sea destroyers stared in astonishment, as if they had seen a ghost, at the blue figure leaping out of the sea of ​​fire.

Chapter 1827 Deep Sea Appraiser Xiaobai

The figure who ran out of the sea of ​​fire was not unharmed, which means that the shelling that the deep-sea destroyers had just fired at her had indeed taken effect.

only.

The force with which this effect took hold truly left the deep-sea destroyers present somewhat bewildered.

Each shell that struck the blue figure could only splatter a small cluster of orange-yellow sparks on the ship's rigging, leaving behind a few dark spots that were indistinguishable as stains or damage. The surrounding flames surged and burned, and sparks kept teasing the blue figure's body, but could only scorch the blue figure's clothes until they appeared somewhat dry and charred.

That was a minor injury, not even a small one.

Realizing this, the deep-sea destroyers became agitated. They roared and howled, their voices filled with vigilance against the blue figure. At the same time, the mechanical tails of the deep-sea destroyers churned up waves, and main guns and torpedoes emerged one by one from their mechanical rigs, gleaming with a sinister light.

The deep-sea destroyers shouted alertly as they quickly formed a formation, ready to meet the blue figure emerging from the sea of ​​fire.

"Ow—"

"Hissing—"

"Ow—"

The deep-sea destroyers adopted a battle formation as if facing a formidable enemy, waiting for the blue figure to approach within torpedo attack range.

however.

Something happened that surprised the deep-sea destroyers.

The blue figure that burst out of the sea of ​​fire and was rapidly approaching them suddenly stopped a moment before reaching the torpedo's attack range.

The deep-sea destroyers, which were preparing to launch torpedoes with their mouths full, were startled by the blue figure and almost swallowed the torpedoes back into their stomachs. They remained in the position of having torpedoes in their mouths, looking at the blue figure that had suddenly stopped in the distance and would not approach again, and were somewhat bewildered for a moment.

This blue figure had been menacing from the moment it appeared. As it rushed toward them, it withstood countless artillery barrages and flames, giving the deep-sea destroyers an incredibly strong sense of pressure. But then, this blue figure suddenly stopped just a step away from attacking them.

what happened?

Wasn't she just about to attack us?

The deep-sea destroyer looked at the distant figure with puzzlement.

"Boom—" Just as the deep-sea destroyers' eyes were all focused on the blue figure in the distance, a loud cannon shot, as if coming from the clouds, rose from the sea behind the deep-sea destroyers.

"Boom - boom - boom -"

The shelling was incredibly rapid, tense, and continuous from the moment it began, and it rang out several times in the short time the deep-sea destroyers were stunned.

The deep-sea destroyers instinctively turned their heads to look behind them.

What greeted the eyes of the deep-sea destroyers was a dense barrage of fireballs raining down from the sky.

"Ouch————"

The deep-sea destroyers roared angrily, finally understanding what was happening the moment they saw the fireball descending from the sky.

They finally understood why that blue figure, despite its imposing and intimidating aura, had stopped advancing when it had drawn the attention of all their deep-sea destroyers and formed a line to counterattack.

because……

She's in charge of pulling the monsters!

The enemy's real damage dealer is behind them!

The deep-sea destroyers roared angrily as they jostled to avoid the fireball falling from the sky. But it was too late. In the short time it took to shout, the fireball, trailing a long flame, reached them.

Rumble rumble rumble —

In an instant, the fireball that fell from the sky mercilessly tore apart the bodies of the deep-sea destroyers and smashed their rigging. Then, with undiminished force, it slammed the already shattered wreckage of the deep-sea destroyers into the water, creating a huge wave on the surface of the sea.

Wow————

Waves rise and fall.

With each rise and fall, the sea surface, which was just moments before filled with numerous deep-sea destroyers, was now reduced to vast stretches of deep-sea wreckage, and the sea returned to silence.

Seeing that the battle was over, the blue figure in the distance finally skipped out and ran towards the sea surface littered with deep-sea debris, waving its slender arms.

On the sea where the fireball had just been fired, two figures emerged from the boundless black fog. They were Xiaobai and Missouri, who had summoned their ship equipment and whose main guns were shrouded in wisps of white smoke.

"Admiral!" Prince Eugen called out to Xiaobai and the other two.

"Eugen—" Xiaobai hurriedly stepped forward to greet Prinz Eugen. Her eyes widened as she observed Prinz Eugen's charred ship armor and body, and she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Eugen, are you alright...?"

"It's alright, Admiral. The enemy was just an Abyssal destroyer; these aren't even minor damage!" Prinz Eugen shook her head dismissively, hooking her arm in a strongman pose and flashing a happy smile. "I'm not as powerful as Bismarck, and I can't easily take on multiple opponents, but I have my strengths. I'm particularly good at taking a beating! Forget about Abyssal destroyers; even Abyssal heavy cruisers and battleships won't be able to hurt me!"

"Uh... I do believe that..." After hearing Prince Eugen's words, Xiaobai breathed a slight sigh of relief. His gaze lingered on Prince Eugen's seemingly disheveled, smoke-soaked but actually almost unharmed body for a few more moments, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Eugen, you really are amazing..."

“Senior Eugen is indeed brilliant. With Senior Eugen in charge of diverting the enemy's attention and pulling their formation together, our speed in eliminating these deep-sea destroyers has been greatly enhanced, and the efficiency of clearing out the enemy in this area has more than doubled.” Missouri said respectfully to Prince Eugen, revealing an admiring smile.

"It's not that exaggerated... Missouri, your artillery support was really effective..." Princess Eugen smiled sheepishly, pointed to the surface of the water behind her, which was full of deep-sea debris, and then stood on tiptoe and said excitedly to Little White, "Then, Admiral, I'll go collect the spoils of war first. You guys wait here for a moment!"

After saying that, Prince Eugen hurriedly turned around and sped towards the sea area behind him, which was full of deep-sea debris. He skillfully navigated through the debris, searching for and collecting the fallen deep-sea metal.

After a few minutes.

Prince Eugen ran back to Little White with a pile of deep-sea metal he had plundered.

"Admiral, I've finished looting the spoils!"

Prince Eugen, holding the Deep Sea Metal, shouted to Little White.

Missouri, who was behind Xiaobai, stepped forward and deftly pulled out a large burlap sack, taller than a person and already half-filled, from her ship equipment space. She opened the sack and handed it to Prinz Eugen.

Looking through the open opening, you can see that the half-sack of Missouri is filled with large and small, shiny, dark-colored deep-sea metals.

Prince Eugen calmly tossed the deep-sea metal from his arms into the sack, then clapped his hands and spoke to Little White.

"Admiral, in that last wave, we destroyed a total of twenty-seven deep-sea destroyers and looted eleven pieces of deep-sea metal."

"Okay, got it." Xiaobai nodded, took out a notebook and pen from her ship equipment space, and started scribbling down notes.

Xiao Bai's notebook was filled with neatly arranged combat records, which clearly recorded the time, location, type and number of enemy deep-sea amphibious ships, combat process, and spoils obtained after the battle.

"Coordinates xxx, yyy, zzz... Encountered a deep-sea destroyer, number of enemies 27, overwhelming victory in combat, looted 11 pieces of deep-sea metal... Quality of the deep-sea metal..." Xiaobai scribbled in his notebook, then reached into the sack in Missouri, grabbed a piece of deep-sea metal he had just thrown in, examined it carefully for a moment, brought it to his lips and cautiously licked it, then threw it back into the sack as if he had eaten something disgusting. He then spat bitterly at the sea below, adding a sentence in his notebook, "...out of 10, I can only give it 3 points..."

"Admiral, these data are probably used to determine whether this sea area can be used as a leveling spot, right?" Missouri asked with a smile as she watched Xiaobai diligently recording the information.

“Well, the sea area in Chapter 8 is very large, so we need to collect a lot of information for comprehensive consideration…” Xiaobai rubbed his tongue and nodded to Missouri. “Hmm… Actually, there was no need to record it. I have all this data in my head. But this is not just for me to see. It will also be submitted to the Admiral’s Headquarters as data for evaluating leveling points. So I had to write it down sooner or later, so I just updated it on site.”

“I see…” Missouri moved closer to Xiaobai, looked at the information in Xiaobai’s notebook for a while, and smiled slightly. “The Admiral’s data is indeed recorded in great detail… However, regarding the quality of the deep-sea metal in the last item… Missouri remembers that the Admiral’s Guild did not seem to provide such detailed evaluation standards, right?”

"Ah, I added the quality myself." Xiaobai patted his chest confidently. "I'm quite knowledgeable about this."

"I see—but the quality ratings for the deep-sea metals in Chapter Eight seem somewhat unsatisfactory?"

"Hmm? Really? I think it's quite high."

“Admiral, the scores you gave to the deep-sea metals in Chapter 8 were generally below four points, which is out of ten.” Missouri pointed to the deep-sea metals that Xiaobai had just rated and said to Xiaobai, “For example, Admiral, you just gave the harvested deep-sea metals a three-point rating.”

"Ah, this... Actually, a three-point quality is considered high for deep-sea metals." Xiaobai blinked and said, "The deep-sea metals in Chapter 8 are already quite good. The reason why the score is so low is simply because my standard of ten points is based on the deep-sea dean metals... If this were applied to the deep-sea metals in Chapters 7 and 6, I probably wouldn't even get one point."

Chapter 1564: The Most Vulnerable Ship Type

Like a highly skilled connoisseur of deep-sea metals, Xiaobai held his notebook and earnestly explained to Missouri.

"So these three-point and four-point ratings are the scoring criteria set by the Admiral himself." Missouri smiled gently after hearing Xiaobai's words and said knowingly, "In that case... Missouri understands very well."

"Hmm... It's good that you understand..."

"Admiral, we've already taken down several waves of Abyssal Fleet ships. Based on the information we've gathered so far, what do you think of this area in Chapter 8? Does it have the potential to be used as a leveling spot?" Prince Eugen approached Xiaobai and asked curiously.

"Hmm... we have indeed collected quite a bit of information." Xiaobai nodded, flipping through a few pages of her notebook. Looking at the sea area information recorded earlier, she said to Prince Eugen, "Let me see... based on our search and exploration of this sea area, the drop rate of deep-sea metal from the deep-sea amphibious ships in Chapter 8 is quite encouraging... Judging from the sea area we've searched, most of the deep-sea amphibious ships here are relatively fragile, but at the same time, they all possess a certain level of strength, so they could be used as a somewhat makeshift leveling spot..."

"So we've finally found a leveling spot?" Prince Eugen's eyes lit up after hearing Xiaobai's words, and he asked with delight.

The characteristics of this sea area that Xiaobai just mentioned basically match the three characteristics of the ship girl's leveling spot!

Could it be that on their first voyage, they've already found the legendary leveling spot so easily?

That's incredibly lucky!
