Elder brother's garrison

They are strong, but not invincible.

Nia's new ship girls looked much better after hearing what Xiaobai said, but they were still somewhat apprehensive.

Even if they are natural-born warriors, they will still feel nervous if they are pushed onto the battlefield of the final boss before they have even had a hot meal.

"It's okay, Veneto and the others will protect you," Xiaobai comforted her.

The new ship girls looked at Veneto next to Shiro, their eyes still filled with confusion.

They then turned their attention to the company, and only after seeing its tall figure and confident eyes did the confusion in their eyes lessen a little.

Finally, the ship girls turned their attention to Roma, observing her naturally expressionless face after being beaten up by Veneto and her ample bosom. They all nodded, and the confusion in their eyes finally dissipated.

Look at those fearless eyes, look at that broad chest that symbolizes a battleship, look at that aura of power!

With such a powerful figure present, we should be safe, right?

The ship girls looked at Rome and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

And so our friend Veneto experienced the malice of the world.

-

The fourth node was quite far away, and the train was closed, so the group walked for a long time. When the sun was high in the sky and there was nothing around except for the closed shops, they finally saw the beach.

The fourth beach is now deserted. On the vast golden sand, only the faint sound of the wind, like a flute, and the constant lapping of the sea against the shore can be heard.

With the admiral gone, this place becomes the most dangerous spot in the entire First Sea Area. No merchant would want to come to such a place where they can neither make money nor save their lives.

The group went onto the beach and began to rest.

For ship girls, walking non-stop for a whole morning is not a burden, but for human girls, it is quite a burden.

Nia went from being full of energy at the beginning to now, her breathing gradually became somewhat disordered, and a faint blush began to appear on her face.

Nia breathed a sigh of relief, then quietly sat down, supporting herself on the sand.

"Kid? How are you feeling?" Cleveland walked over to Nia, took out a bottle of water from his ship's storage space, and handed it to her.

"Thank you, it's alright." Nia smiled, then opened the bottle of mineral water and gulped down several mouthfuls.

Nia is a very quiet girl, so for her to drink mineral water so generously shows that she must have been extremely thirsty.

Xiao Bai also came over.

Xiao Bai is perfectly fine; he's protected by ship equipment, so his stamina is practically beyond the realm of normal humans. A morning's walk is about as easy for him as taking a stroll after lunch.

"Little White is really amazing," Nia said to Little White with complete admiration.

"Ah... yeah, I guess I exercise often," Xiaobai explained, nodding.

"Admiral, don't force yourself..." Raffi said, tugging at Nia's clothes.

"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry."

Nia turned to look at the sea in front of her and took a gentle breath.

On the way, Nia also told her new ship girls about her situation, from her graduation to accepting Ian's exercise application yesterday.

"There are only three days left..." Nia said softly.

“Nia, that’s not right.” Xiaobai sat down next to Nia.

Nia was indeed exhausted. When Xiaobai leaned against Nia, he could feel the heat emanating from her body, the kind of body heat that only someone who had done strenuous exercise could emit. "It's not just three days left, it should be, three more days left."

“Yes, Xiaobai, you’re right.” Nia nodded.

Nia looked up at the seven ship girls standing beside her.

To be honest, I still feel like I'm living in a dream. In just half a day, I went from a weak admiral to someone with seven powerful ship girls.

That's an unbelievable range of strength.

“However, there’s never been a train service here. It would be such a waste of time to walk back and forth every day,” Wichita said.

Because there is no direct train route, it takes everyone a whole morning to walk from the city center, and it will take another whole morning to walk back, leaving virtually no time for fighting.

“Yes, you’re right.” Nia and Xiaobai exchanged a glance and said, “So we’ve decided not to go back.”

"what?"

“We’ve decided to stay here for the next three days,” Nia and Little White said to Wichita.

"Living on the beach?" Nia's new ship girls were all surprised.

"Yes, Lord Su has the keys to the shops that have already closed down, so it's no problem to borrow them for three days to stay," Xiao Bai said.

"As for supplies, three days should be enough, right?" Nia asked.

The ship girls nodded.

Ship girls possess powerful propulsion, but this propulsion comes at a price.

When a ship girl uses her power, she needs to burn the resources stored in her ship equipment. The ship equipment acts like an engine, burning these resources to give the ship girl powerful momentum. However, if there are no resources to burn, the ship equipment will go into hibernation, and the ship girl will lose her extraordinary power.

Therefore, the remaining resources in a ship's equipment are quite important to a ship girl.

A fully replenished ship rig can sustain a ship girl in continuous combat for five days. To be on the safe side, ship girls are accustomed to constantly replenishing their ship rig's resources, just in case. This is why even new ship girls need to replenish their supplies once a day.

Just then, Veneto also arranged the seats for Little White and Nia.

Veneto and Roma approached: "Admiral, let's save time and set off now."

Enterprise walked over, holding the back of her head, and looked at Empire, who was reading a book to the side, and reached out to pat her head.

The first thing Xiaobai prepared was to collect enough resources for construction. The second thing was to invite a European to build a ship. The third thing was to take out several sets of equipment to arm Nia's ship girls. The fourth thing was to have Enterprise and Veneto lead these ship girls to improve their training level.

After all, the fourth node deep-sea cluster is sometimes indiscriminate under fire, and even Veneto cannot guarantee the protection of every ship girl, so she needs a helper.

For example, a powerful aircraft carrier ship girl like Enterprise.

The arrival of the company also conveniently provides training for the restored Empire, making it a win-win situation.

Veneto looked at the new ship girls standing next to Xiaobai and Nia, and gave them a cold smile.

With Veneto's smile, all the ship girls present felt a slight chill.

Chapter 306 Ringo

After that, the sea area in the first chapter unexpectedly experienced two peaceful days.

After a series of events, even the most gossipy admirals here seem to have finally started to get tired of the constant barrage of big news.

The white-haired princess, accompanied by ship girls, wreaked havoc in the city, bringing a commoner admiral, who was destined to never rise again, back on track from the very beginning. Then, she beat up the admiral guild and kicked various admirals, ultimately establishing herself in the chapter's sea area alongside Nia, thanks to her massive fists and endless wealth.

Then, coincidentally, a strange event occurred at the fourth node. Although the little princess was willful, she showed her kind side and single-handedly turned the tide and saved all the ship girls trapped in the enemy camp, earning the respect and gratitude of all the admirals in the first node.

What followed was swift and intense; in the eyes of the admirals, the world seemed to have turned upside down completely in the time it takes to sleep.

The little princess took Nia to a gathering of admirals from the fourth node, and then, for some unknown reason, Nia and one of the admirals there applied for a drill.

That wasn't the scariest part. The scariest part was that from then on, the proud little princess seemed to have had a nerve touched, and she finally began to show her strength to the people around her.

In just one night, the little princess raised enough resources and money for Nia to build thousands of ships, and she also used some kind of secret technique to make the number of Nia's ship girls reach an astonishing 7 after construction.

Building ship girls isn't like growing vegetables, where prices can rise at will.

The six extra ship girls are all mid-level combatants.

Then the little princess, along with Nia and the ship girls, left the Admiral's Guild, leaving behind a group of admirals who were green with envy as they watched them leave.

Then, after that, the little princess, Nia, and the seventeen ship girls disappeared, and no one in the city ever saw them again.

As mentioned at the beginning, the sea area in Chapter One unexpectedly experienced two peaceful days after that.

Only after the little princess disappeared did the admirals' lives slowly return to normal. Some ate, some went on campaigns, and some rested. As life returned to its basics, it gradually became boring.

At this point, some people started asking, "Where did the little princess go?"

Nia, who was standing next to her, still needed to complete one more exercise.

Many admirals were muttering this in the admirals' guild's dining area.

Of course, the little princess and Nia will not run away.

Many people saw the little princess walking towards the fourth node on the day they disappeared.

The fourth node is still under lockdown, and no admiral who doesn't want to die wants to get close to it.

However, there were a few admirals who didn't believe in such things. Some of them were curious and wanted to sneak over and take a look. Unfortunately, there were many subordinates of the Admirals' Guild guarding the way, as if they were guarding a hunting ground for a little emperor, not allowing anyone to pass through.

That's enough for now. The fourth node isn't exactly an interesting place. Although they were a little curious, the admirals knew that curiosity killed the cat, so they didn't go any further.

Finally, this day arrived.

Captain Jiang Hu, who guards the coastal city, welcomed a new guest today.

Captain Jiang Hu nervously peered through the rearview mirror at the person sitting in the back of the car.

She was an extremely beautiful person.

She wore a fiery red dress and tight brown boots with interlaced laces that resembled stockings. The heavy fabric concealed her figure perfectly, but her slender shoulders revealed a delicate and graceful figure.

Her long, black hair was styled in a bun, her eyes held the light of a lake, but her expression was as calm as a neatly laid-out sheet of white Xuan paper.

It's so pretty.

This is a woman who could make any man's heart flutter.

Jiang Hu sat in the passenger seat, rubbing his hands together as he considered what to talk to his superior about.

Yes, to my shame, Jiang Hu is over forty years old this year, almost fifty, and his military rank is not even as high as that of the young woman behind him.

Although he looks incredibly frail, that person is actually the Governor-General of the Inland Region.

He is the governor-general who manages nearly 50 percent of the coastal admirals.

Jiang Hu felt that he had probably had a stroke of good luck recently.

A while ago, the world's number one admiral came over, which startled me. After finally managing to appease him, I managed to find a reason to hand over my business card.

Regardless of whether it's useful or not, it's always good to have given it away.

Then yesterday, Jiang Hu received an urgent document.

The sign read a very simple sentence: "Inland Governor-General Ringo will arrive at the First Sea Area at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

Absolutely.

Jiang Hu never dreamed that his superior, who managed this sea area, would have the leisure and time to come here.

He was so frightened that he prepared overnight, without sleeping or eating, to prepare for welcoming the governor today.

I really made a profit.

Jiang Hu blushed as he looked at the stunningly beautiful face reflected in the rearview mirror.

The world's number one admiral is also very beautiful, with a delicate and ethereal appearance, like an elf. However, she is, after all, a child, and Jiang Hu would not have any romantic feelings for a child.

But the governor in front of us is a real beauty.

She is a beauty so stunning that anyone who sees her would say, "It's a life well spent."

"Commander Ringo." After thinking for a long time, Jiang Hu still mustered up the courage to speak to the people behind him.

The governor, named Ringo, turned her dark, jade-like eyes and quietly looked at Jiang Hu.

"Sir, are you here to investigate the anomaly at the fourth node?" Jiang Hu asked.

Ringo wasn't angry at Jiang Hu for being talkative; instead, she surprisingly thought about it very carefully for a while.

In fact, Ringo wasn't there to deal with the fourth node.

The fourth node was originally to be handled by another admiral, but Ringo considered that there might be Lu Yun's juniors there, so she slammed her fist on the table and decided to take the spot herself.

Therefore, for Ringo, finding the right person is the most important thing. As for investigating the fourth node, she can do that as a side job.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that this is indeed what I'm here to do.

Ringo nodded.

"Then Governor, please be careful. Don't you have any ship girls with you?"

Ringo nodded.

"Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Ringo shook her head.
