Elder brother's garrison

next second.

The hand on Frederick the Great's neck loosened.

Frederick the Great straightened up.

Lexington's warm and gentle smile reappeared in Frederick the Great's eyes.

"Of course, if Miss Frederick ultimately gains our trust, this agreement will be null and void~" Lexington patted Frederick the Great on the shoulder. "We'll both keep up the good work from now on, Miss Frederick."

"..."

Frederick the Great made no move; he remained silent.

“…Miss Frederick? Were you frightened?”

"……No."

"That's good."

"..."

"It seems Miss Frederick still has some questions."

"Ah."

"Why don't you tell me?"

"About my chains."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Why can you take out the chains at any time?"

"Hoo hoo, why..."

……

After leaving the office building, Xiaobai led the Deep Sea Deans to the daily necessities warehouse and brought out their temporary daily necessities, as well as several sets of maid outfits for changing.

After leaving the warehouse, everyone carried their bags and packages all the way back to their dormitory.

"Regarding daily necessities, these are all temporary. Once you've settled in, you can buy your favorite brands online, and our naval base will reimburse you. As for the uniforms, these maid outfits are also temporary, so they only come in small, medium, and large sizes. Normally, our naval base's uniforms are custom-made, but since you've only just arrived, we haven't had time to order them. So, we'll use the uniforms from the warehouse for now. Once you've settled in, she'll come and assess your reputation." Standing at the door, Xiaobai explained to the Deep Sea Deans behind her while inserting the key into the lock and opening the door to her residence. "And then..."

As Xiaobai spoke, she opened the door.

Then, a whooshing sound came from behind.

"I'm home! I came in first!!"

"Pachina! Pachina!"

"Hahaha, it has the air of an admiral, doesn't it?!"

"..."

The five deans of the Deep Sea Academy, one after another, passed by Xiaobai and rushed straight into the house.

Suddenly, the hallway of the house was filled with the sounds of chickens running and dogs barking.

Xiao Bai stood at the door, looking helplessly at the open door. He sighed and went inside.

This was the first time Kamikaze and the others had come to Shiro's house, or rather, the first time they had entered a human's house. But whether it was a sixth sense or something else, they found the living room with perfect accuracy, opened the door, and burst in.

Dong dong dong dong dong…

Thump thump thump thump...

Hiss hiss...

Hehehehe...

Damn it—Barbara

Footsteps, the sound of throwing things, the sound of tearing open packaging, hearty laughter, and the shouts of other people in the house could be heard all around.

"Speaking of which, Yamato and the others should be at home, right?" Shiro muttered to herself as she walked to the living room door, hearing the voices coming from inside. "Ah, I knew it."

There were quite a few people in the living room.

Having just finished their campaign in Chapter 8, Yamato and her friends from the Deep Sea are currently having a gathering in the living room, clinking glasses and holding bottles of liquid grenades.

"Yamato-sensei! You guys are here too!"

"You bastard, you... don't take your clothes off!"

"pachina, pachin——a!!"

"So many people, so much fun, hahaha!!"

"Stop! Stop!"

……

The five Deepsea Deans who had just entered were astonished. Kamikaze, upon entering the living room, immediately dropped her bags and excitedly tore her work clothes to shreds. She frantically pulled on her maid outfit, practically achieving a naked run through the living room in no time. Luckily, Deepsea Yamato held her back, preventing her from continuing her unrestrained behavior. On the other side of the living room, Savoy pinpointed Pachina's location. Pachina was asleep on the sofa, and Savoy sat directly on her stomach, repeatedly poking Pachina's cheek with her white fingers, causing Pachina to wince in her sleep. As for Deepsea Hindenburg, upon seeing so many people in the living room, she instantly took flight, becoming incredibly excited. She transformed into a frenzied hound, leaping rapidly from one Deepsea Dean to another, making it difficult for them to catch her.

Xiao Bai looked at the chaotic scene with a wry smile, but soon, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

"Huh? Lianlian, and President Sister, you're both here?" Xiaobai looked at Luo Lian and President Er Gou sitting at the dining table in surprise.

"Yeah, we were talking about a victory celebration, and how could we leave out? So I invited Xiao Lianzi over too." President Er Gou, holding a half-empty bottle of green beer and with a flushed face, said to Xiao Bai, "Hahaha! Life is full of disappointments, but don't let your cup be empty before the moon. Everyone has their own talents! Xiao Bai, have a couple of drinks too!"

Judging from the drunken state of President Er Gou, who was shaking his head, he seemed to have drunk quite a bit.

Chapter 2208 Persuading with Reason

The atmosphere in the living room was lively and bustling.

President Er Gou mumbled some incoherent and nonsensical verses as he swayed and leaned forward, still holding a beer bottle.

"Hey Bai! Let's have a couple of drinks together!"

President Er Gou cheered and put his arm around Xiao Bai's shoulder.

As President Er Gou made his move, a strong smell of alcohol, mixed with heat, blew onto Xiao Bai's cheeks. At the same time, an opened beer bottle was handed to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai could even hear the hissing sound of the liquid inside the beer bottle as it was shaken, right from the bottle opening.

Xiao Bai quickly raised his hand to cover the mouth of President Er Gou, who was standing very close to him.

"I don't need it, President Sister... you guys drink it."

"Don't be shy, little sister. You're not young anymore, it's time to try some new things~"

"We'll talk about that another time... I still have things to do that Lexington arranged for me." To refuse President Er Gou's enthusiastic invitation, Xiao Bai even brought up Lexington.

Bringing up Lexington's name did indeed work.

Just a second ago, President Er Gou was still looking like a drunkard. But when Xiao Bai mentioned the name Lexington, she was jolted awake. Her drunkenness cleared up a bit. She froze on the spot and let out a burp. Then she obediently put away the beer bottle and chugged down several mouthfuls.

"Hmph, fine, I won't drink then. There's plenty of time later. I'll just chug it down..." President Er Gou muttered, tilting his head back and downing the entire bottle of beer in one gulp.

"Me too! I want some too!"

Just then, a delicate, childlike voice rang out beside President Er Gou. A petite white figure crawled out from the crowd, reeking of alcohol, and threw herself into President Er Gou's arms. It was Bai Ying, whom he hadn't seen for over a week.

Bai Ying threw herself into President Er Gou's arms, hugging his wine bottle tightly, her mind hazy as she writhed against his body.

"Oh, Miss Bai Ying is here too?" Xiao Bai asked in surprise as she looked at Bai Ying who had suddenly appeared.

"That's right, she's been clinging to me these past few days." President Er Gou said, shaking his head as he held up a bottle of liquor. "After you left last time, it took her two or three days to come to her senses. But every time she regained her senses, she would immediately run to the kitchen, grab the bottle, and drink wildly, then turn back into that little kid looking for her mother. It's a never-ending cycle."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Living a life of debauchery and decadence!"

"Next time Miss Bai Ying wakes up... President, please don't let her drink anymore..."

"OK~" President Er Gou gestured to Xiao Bai, indicating that he would hand it over to me.

Xiao Bai was slightly relieved when he saw the gesture from President Er Gou.

Xiao Bai looked at Luo Lian beside her.

Luo Lian sat next to Xiao Bai, holding a large beer mug in both hands, the mug filled to the brim, her expression quite clear, as if she hadn't drunk a drop.

In the chaotic living room, Luo Lian appeared to be blending in with the hustle and bustle, but she maintained her clear mind.

Seeing Xiaobai looking at her, Luo Lian smiled slightly at Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, you are back."

"Yes, I'm back." Xiao Bai scratched his head and smiled awkwardly at Luo Lian. "Um... Lianlian, I'm sorry you had to see this..."

"I just arrived too." Luo Lian put down her beer glass, smiled at Xiao Bai, and said, "It's very lively here, I like it very much."

"I'm glad you like it... Um, what about Warspite?"

“Missouri’s shipboard research is finished, and I’ve given her a break. She should be enjoying life in the city center right now.”

"Oh! It's time to treat her properly."

"Before she left, she asked me to ask you when you would fulfill your promise to have afternoon tea with her."

"Yes, yes! I'll introduce her to Hu De and the others when they get back." Xiao Bai nodded quickly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Luo Lian paused for a moment, then asked as if she remembered something, "Speaking of which, now that you're back, what about Chapter Eight..."

“That’s right, the matter in Chapter 8 is also over!” Xiao Bai gave Luo Lian a peace sign and smiled. “I’ve already conquered all the deep-sea cities.”

"As expected of you." Luo Lian's face showed a hint of "I knew it," then she turned her gaze to the several Deep Sea Deans in the living room. "Which of these Deep Sea Deans is Frederick the Great?"

"neither."

"?"

"Frederick the Great is still in Lexington; she probably won't be living with us."

"Hmm... From what you're saying, it seems like there were some twists and turns in the process of subduing Frederick the Great?" Luo Lian asked curiously, listening to Xiao Bai's words.

“Yes…” Xiaobai nodded with deep feeling, “Frederick is probably the strongest Deep Sea Dean I have ever seen…”

At this point, Xiao Bai couldn't help but start talking, and began to tell Luo Lian about what happened after he left the garrison that day until he subdued Frederick the Great, excluding the part about the will of the deep sea.

Luo Lian listened attentively to Xiao Bai's story.

"So that's how it is. Frederick the Great's combat power actually comes from his own skills, not from that metal plate... This is my serious mistake, I'm very sorry." Luo Lian closed her eyes and bowed her head to apologize to Xiao Bai.

"It's alright, I didn't expect Friedrich to become so powerful on her own." Xiaobai quickly waved her hand. "And Lianlian, you helped me a lot too, not only assisting Missouri with the ship equipment modification, but also making me glasses that can analyze the power of ship equipment. You were a great contributor to this Chapter 8!"

"I will learn from this lesson and will not make the same mistake again," Luo Lian said earnestly, opening her eyes.

"Hmm... okay." Xiaobai scratched his head.

"What are you going to do about Chapter Eight?" Luo Lian continued to ask Xiao Bai.

"What do you mean?"

"Now that you've lured all the Deep Sea Deans of Chapter Eight to the Naval Base, haven't you?" Luo Lian said, spreading out one hand. "Without the leadership of the Deep Sea Deans, the waters of Chapter Eight shouldn't be able to stop your Naval Base's fleet."

“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded.

Although Xiaobai's undercover operation was full of twists and turns, it was a great success in terms of results. She not only abducted all the Deans of the Deep Sea, but also wiped out hundreds of Deep Sea Frigates in Chapter 8.

Without a leader and escort ships, even in Chapter 8, the difficulty of exploring the deep sea will drop several levels.

The current Chapter 8 is leaderless, lacking even a proper high-ranking deep-sea creature. It's not even worth mentioning for a newbie naval base; any of the top ten naval bases could probably be easily cleared in a day.

"What about Chapter Eight? How are you going to explain that?" Luo Lian asked Xiao Bai.

"How to explain... um... just take the fleet and push forward." Xiaobai answered matter-of-factly.

"So that's what you really think..." Luo Lian listened to Xiao Bai's words thoughtfully.

"Lianlian?" Xiaobai looked at Luo Lian strangely. "What's wrong? Is Chapter Eight still dangerous?"

"No, it's not a matter of danger. If it were a newbie garrison, with your strength, you could probably complete the exploration of Chapter 8 within half a day by now," Luo Lian replied.

"Then why do you look so uneasy?"

"I just feel that this might not be a good idea," Luo Lian replied seriously after thinking for a while.

"Hey? What's wrong with it?"

"It's hard to convince the public," Luo Lian said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Difficult to... convince the public?" Xiaobai looked puzzled.

"On the shore of Chapter Eight, besides the Haoding Garrison, there's also the Mu family's fleet there to aid you, right? Aunt Mu Naihua, the former head of the Mu family, is also there," Luo Lian said.
