Elder brother's garrison

"Admiral Lu Lin, those are just ordinary humans. If the deep-sea amphibious ships' shells fall from the sky and land in the construction area, the damage will be extremely severe..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I can tell you with absolute certainty that as long as the construction team behaves themselves and doesn't sneak off into the deep sea, they will be absolutely safe," Xiaobai said confidently. "I guarantee it."

Mu Chenglin stared blankly at Xiaobai.

After a while.

Mu Chenglin returned to his senses, his eyes filled with admiration as he gazed at Xiaobai.

"...Admiral Lu Lin...then...may I ask if you have come up with any good way to resist the deep sea in Chapter Eight?"

"Uh... well... it's a secret for now." Xiaobai smiled at everyone and made a shushing gesture. "But don't worry, I do have a special method. During this period... well, at least during this period, the sea will be very calm and safe."

"...In that case, I'm relieved." Mu Chenglin lowered his head and said sincerely to Xiaobai.

"Support troops! Support troops! Support troops!"

Just then, a loud and energetic shout rang out from the road behind them, growing louder as it approached.

"Ah, it's Admiral Haoding, he's here." Xiaobai smiled at the crowd upon hearing the urgent voice.

"Is that Admiral Haoding?" Mu Chenglin was slightly taken aback. "According to what Admiral Lu Lin just said, Admiral Haoding seems to be seriously injured and unable to move around, but judging from this voice, he seems to have a strong and energetic voice..."

Mu Chenglin curiously turned his gaze to the narrow path behind him.

then.

Mu Chenglin was stunned.

In the distance, on the road in the woods, Elizabeth was seen jogging towards them.

Behind Elizabeth.

A lithe, humanoid figure, as black as coal and devoid of any facial features, was hopping and skipping along from afar.

Chapter 1936 The Admiral Who Can Be Sexually Interrupted

"Reinforcements! It's reinforcements! Hahahaha!! We've finally been waiting for you!!"

The black, humanoid object in the distance bounced on the ground like a black rubber band, making exaggerated noises, as it rushed towards the group.

"Ah...this..." Mu Chenglin, General Mu, and Mu Naihua stared blankly at the figure in the distance, dumbfounded for a moment.

"Chenglin," General Mu finally spoke first.

"Uncle, Cheng Lin is here."

"This Admiral Haoding... I didn't know much about him before, but... judging from the color of his skin... could he have originally been an African admiral?"

“Well… Although I have never spoken face-to-face with Admiral Haoding, I did systematically learn about his life before coming to Chapter 8. If the information is correct, Admiral Haoding should have the same background as us.”

"Hmm... I guessed so." General Mu looked at the dark figure in the distance with a puzzled expression. "But Admiral Haoding's skin color can't be a mutation that happened during the construction of the ship..."

"Little sister Lu Lin, what's going on?" Mu Naihua looked down and asked Xiaobai curiously.

"Well..." Xiaobai gave a wry smile, "The reason why Admiral Haoding has become like this is because when he was commanding the ship girls in battle some time ago, he forced himself to stay on the beach for too long, which caused a large amount of deep-sea energy to invade his body, resulting in physiological changes."

"Wu Yiqi (8) Baling Qi Liu Yi Deep Sea Qi? Invading the body?" Everyone was stunned.

"Yes... Admiral Haoding was really reckless back then," Xiaobai said with a sigh.

"This... it's truly remarkable that Admiral Haoding survived..." General Mu said with admiration, "He's a real man."

As everyone was chatting, Admiral Haoding rushed up to them like a gust of wind.

A gust of black wind swept in, and the all-black-clad Admiral Haoding stood before them, panting heavily, his long arms waving excitedly at everyone.

"Volunteers from the Admiral's Headquarters! On behalf of the entire Admiralty, I welcome you! I am Haoding, an ordinary admiral who lives a quiet life, and I am very happy to receive your support and help!"

"Admiral Haoding... I've heard so much about you." Mu Chenglin stepped forward, bowed to Admiral Haoding, and said, "I am Mu Chenglin, and I am..."

Snapped!

Before Mu Chenglin could finish speaking...

Admiral Haoding rushed forward, grabbed Mu Chenglin's hand, and excitedly shouted, "Admiral Mu! Admiral Mu! I've heard so much about you! Thank you so much for your support! Hahahaha! Chapter Eight needs your fresh blood! Thank you for the supplies you delivered!"

Looking at Admiral Haoding's bright and unrestrained smile, and his straightforward address of Admiral Mu, he was struck by his words.

Everyone present quickly realized that Admiral Haoding seemed completely unaware of Mu Chenglin's identity as the head of the Mu family, treating him only as an ordinary civil servant sent by the Admiral's headquarters.

But that’s fine.

Without that superior status, it's easier to get along with them.

Mu Chenglin didn't care about this. He respectfully greeted Admiral Haoding twice, then turned around and gestured to Mu Naihua and General Mu behind him.

"Admiral Haoding, these two are my uncle and aunt..."

"Oh! They're your family members! You brought them to see the scenery? How filial!"

"No, they are..."

"Sigh, but we should always be careful. After all, the elders don't have ship girls around them, so we need to protect them more. Don't you think so?"

"...Thank you for reminding me."

“Chapter 8 is still quite dangerous. It’s best for unarmed people to stay at the innermost part of the valley. I’ll have the ship girls prepare a small villa for you. If you don’t mind, you can stay there,” Admiral Haoding said earnestly to Mu Chenglin.

"...Thank you, Admiral Haoding. However, we have brought our own tents and daily necessities, so we are self-sufficient in terms of accommodation. Please rest assured."

"I didn't expect the volunteers sent by the Admiral's Headquarters to be so reliable." Admiral Haoding lowered his hands, looking at everyone with a sigh, then pointed to the environment behind him and said seriously, "Would you like me to show you around a bit? Just walk around, and you can see what's going on on the other side of the sea..."

"Admiral." Just as Admiral Haoding could no longer contain his excitement, Elizabeth, who was behind him, quickly stepped forward and uttered a cold, detached sound.

Admiral Haoding was startled.

Elizabeth then walked forward quietly and said to Admiral Haoding, "Admiral... have you forgotten that Admiral Lu Lin instructed you to minimize the frequency of outdoor exercise?"

"Ah, this...this..." Admiral Haoding immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Admiral Lu Lin is right in front of you."

"What?!" Admiral Haoding's eyes widened, and he quickly looked around. Sure enough, he found Xiaobai next to Munaihua.

"..." Xiao Bai smiled slightly at Admiral Hao Ding and waved his hand.

The once incredibly generous Admiral Haoding became timid and submissive the moment he saw Xiaobai. He stood awkwardly in place, forcing a smile at Xiaobai.

"Admiral Lu Lin, you, you're here too..." Admiral Hao Ding, sweating profusely, smiled awkwardly at Xiao Bai, his expression as embarrassed as someone sneaking into a fried chicken shop and bumping into their fitness trainer.

"I've been here all along." Xiaobai smiled serenely, lowered her hand, and asked gently, "How has Admiral Haoding been feeling lately?"

"Uh... thank goodness. Thank goodness for Admiral Lu Lin..." Admiral Haoding coughed twice, then straightened his expression and looked at Mu Chenglin, saying in a firm voice, "Well... anyway... Admiral Mu, I live in the valley. If you need anything, just look for me..."

"So, I'll contact you through your ship girl?"

"No, what I mean is, if there's anything, you can contact Admiral Lu Lin and ask him to handle it for you," Admiral Haoding said seriously. "As for me... I'm recuperating in the valley right now. If there's anything, let's not talk about it for now. If there's nothing, you can come over and chat with me, play some chess, or relax and enjoy some health."

"?" Everyone looked at Xiaobai in surprise.

"In short, that's about it!" At this point, Admiral Haoding didn't continue. He gave everyone a thumbs up and said in a loud voice, "Logically speaking, since Admiral Mu and you have come from afar, I should treat you well. However, my health makes it really inconvenient for me to move around, so I have to apologize first! The rest will have to be left to Admiral Lu Lin. I'll take my leave now!"

Done.

Admiral Haoding grinned at everyone, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, and then vanished in a wisp of black smoke, returning to the same place he had come from.

"Admiral—take a rest!" Elizabeth didn't go back with Admiral Haoding. She called out to his back as a farewell.

Admiral Haoding disappeared from everyone's sight.

Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief and turned to smile slightly at everyone.

"This Admiral Haoding... is quite a straightforward and easygoing person..." General Mu stammered for a long time, looking at the shadow of Admiral Haoding, and said, "Just like the rumors said, he comes quickly and goes quickly."

"..."

"Is it just my imagination? Why does it seem like this Admiral Haoding is a little afraid of little sister Lu Lin?" Mu Naihua lowered her head and looked at Xiaobai in surprise.

"Well..." Xiaobai smiled shyly.

“It’s not fear, it’s respect,” Elizabeth replied with a smile to Muna. “After all, Admiral Lu Lin not only saved my admiral’s life and rescued our naval base from danger several times, but she has also become our naval base’s second admiral. What’s there to fear? It’s just that my admiral has great respect for Admiral Lu Lin.”

"Oh...I see, no wonder..."

Everyone nodded.

Then everyone was stunned.

"Ok?"

"What did you say?"

"Your admiral??"

"Admiral Lu Lin...she rescued you all too?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Elizabeth and Little White, their faces filled with shock.

Chapter 1937 The Legend of the White-Haired Demon

Since becoming the admiral of the rookie naval base, Xiaobai has caused quite a stir, creating many vivid and memorable legends.

The story of Xiaobai, the new admiral of the naval base, is well-known among the higher-ups in the admiral community. Among the various fascinating rumors, the most widespread version is the legend that this new admiral is a domineering and ruthless ship-salvaging machine.

Legend has it that this newly appointed admiral of the naval base is a white-haired girl with an extreme obsession with collecting ship girls. Wherever she goes, if she encounters a ship girl she takes a fancy to, she will use all her resources to coerce, entice, and seize the ship girl she desires, regardless of whether the ship girl has an owner or not.

According to rumors, within a short year of this white-haired devil taking office as admiral, a total of several naval bases, large and small, suffered greatly. Under his violent and ruthless methods, the entire naval base, along with the ship girls and the admiral, was completely emptied out and brought back to the newbie naval base.

According to rumors, this admiral, known as the White-Haired Demon, has an insatiable appetite and is so arrogant that he doesn't even spare admirals from the top ten naval bases. To date, several top admirals from the top ten naval bases have been harmed by him, with all the ship girls in the bases being taken away, leaving the admirals with no one to command. In fact, after a gathering of the top ten admirals, not only did they not protest against the White-Haired Demon's domineering behavior, but they also succumbed to his tyranny and expressed a sincere sense of submission and respect.

Faced with the terrifying actions of this white-haired devil admiral—who would steal your ship girls, seize your territory, rob you of your sanity, and then walk away in a huff—the high-ranking admirals in the entire admiral community are all in a state of fear and trepidation. In fact, recently, the frequency of phrases like "The white-haired devil will be at your house tomorrow," "All your ship girls have disappeared," and "Newbie naval base is waiting for you" has shown a significant upward trend in the most popular insults among admirals.

Of course.

These are all just rumors spread by three people.

Rumors may contain some truth, but most of them have been exaggerated and artistically embellished, essentially transcending the truth of the event and becoming nothing more than legends.

The wise does not buy rumours.

There are still many wise people in this world.

The Mu family is an example of this.

Having thoroughly researched Xiaobai's deeds and even confronted her directly, the organization knew very well that this rookie admiral of the naval base was not the monster that the outside world had described. The ship girls in her naval base had not been forced or coerced; they were simply captivated by the admiral's somewhat exaggerated personal charm and voluntarily followed her.

Ok?

You mean Richelieu?

Who told her admiral to offend the rookie naval base?

Richelieu being forced into the naval base as a maid to atone for her sins is a natural consequence, and retribution is inevitable. Moreover, according to the Mu family's understanding, even after being imprisoned in the newbie naval base, Richelieu's treatment there was far better than that of most military ship girls in the admiral's circle. She did not show any signs of being bullied, and the newbie naval base did not even impose strict confinement on her. To this day, when Richelieu is on vacation, she can go to the city center of a nearby city without any hindrance to swipe her card and go shopping to relax and relieve stress.

Make sense.

The treatment of prisoners of war in the newbie naval base is arguably the best in the world.

Ahem, I'm off topic.

all in all.

The members of the Mu family firmly believe that, under Xiaobai's guidance, the newbie naval base is definitely not like the rumors suggest, where every ship girl who is with him is brought back to the naval base without exception, and he doesn't even give his colleagues any face.

But at this moment, when Elizabeth told everyone that Xiaobai had become the second admiral of Haoding Garrison, Mu Chenglin, General Mu, and Mu Naihua, looking at the unassuming Xiaobai, suddenly had their thoughts waver.

"No...no way, it's only been half a month..." General Mu looked at Xiaobai in surprise, "Admiral Lu Lin, you've already gotten these ship girls to willingly follow you?"

“Little sister Lu Lin, your relationship with the ship girls is ultimately your admiral’s private matter, and we have no right to interfere. However… we’re still in the early stages of Chapter 8, so little sister Lu Lin, you should hold back a bit… it’s not too late to wait until the early stages are over.” Muna Hana gently advised Shiro.

"..." Mu Chenglin didn't speak. He just turned around and glanced at the ship girls from the Mu family and the Admiral's Headquarters that he had brought with him. His eyes were filled with the vicissitudes and complex emotions of an old father looking at his married daughters for the last time.

"Um... Sister Nonoka, it seems like you've misunderstood something..." Xiaobai looked at the complicated gazes of the three members of the Mu family and gave an awkward smile. "I'm just temporarily acting as the admiral for Elizabeth and the others at the request of the physically disabled Admiral Haoding..."

"A temporary admiral?" The three members of the Mu family looked at Elizabeth in surprise.

“Yes,” Elizabeth nodded to the three of them.

"..." The three members of the Mu family looked at Xiaobai with complicated expressions. "So... Haoding Garrison has not yet been incorporated into the new garrison."

"How could that be..." Xiaobai quickly waved her hand and smiled at the three of them, "How could I possibly attack Admiral Haoding's ship girls..."

The three members of the Mu family exchanged glances.

Is it credible?

General Mu asked with his eyes.
