Elder brother's garrison

Mr. Barbatos was speechless for a moment.

The newbie naval base is actually the world's number one naval base; it's my strong support!

Did the tourists even manage to lure the governor down to the first sea area they visited?

Absolutely.

Without even knowing what the governor was planning, how could Mr. Barbatos dare to reveal Little White's whereabouts?

"What's wrong?" Ringo asked.

"Excuse me, may I ask what business you have with them?" Mr. Barbatos asked, bowing slightly.

"I want to see you," Ringo said quietly, lowering her head.

After she finished speaking those two words, she kept stroking the folding fan on her lap, as if she were caressing some precious treasure.

Goodness, what kind of grudges and entanglements are there in their relationship?

Mr. Barbatos looked at Ringo, who seemed to be lost in memories, and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they're not here for revenge or to fight, that's good.

Otherwise, Mr. Barbatos really wouldn't know whose side to take.

"The admiral of the rookie naval base is currently in the Fourth Sea Area," Barbatos said.

"Let's go."

"Commander Ringo, something has happened at the fourth node. Going there now would be too dangerous. Did you bring any ship girls with you this time? I suggest we wait for them to return..."

“Let’s go,” Ringo said, looking at Barbatos.

Once this person makes a decision, nothing can change it.

Under Ringo's calm yet firm gaze, Mr. Barbatos simply couldn't muster the courage to resist and finally agreed to send the governor to the fourth node.

Barbatos sent several men to escort the governor to a private car, which then headed towards the beach in the fourth node area.

Only after the governor's figure disappeared from his sight did Barbatos wipe his sweat and sit down in a chair.

Barbatos was shocked by the governor's sudden arrival, but not surprised.

After all, the world's number one admiral is here. People of that level have interconnected networks with the higher-ups. If someone were to come to the first chapter for sightseeing, it would be perfectly normal for Dandan to attract some people from above because of her presence.

Mr. Barbatos stared blankly at the table.

It was at this moment that Mr. Barbatos realized he seemed to be holding something in his hand.

He raised his hand and found that he was still holding the governor's badge.

Oh, I was so nervous that I forgot to return it.

Barbatos placed the governor's certificate before him.

It's not a big deal if the governor's certificate is left with me. The governor will stay in the First Sea Area anyway, so I can just return it later.

As Barbatos thought this, he looked at the governor's certificate.

I was too nervous beforehand, and when I saw the words "Governor" on the first page, I was too scared to continue reading.

Looking at the Governor's Certificate again, it was the same as the one I had seen before, with a photo of Ringo's stunning beauty on it.

There is another set of information below.

Name: Lin Qin; Position: Governor-General of the Inland Governor-General's Office; Gender: Male.

People from Kyoto, their birthday is...

kindness?

Mr. Barbatos was taken aback.

He squinted and shifted his gaze to the top two lines.

Gender: Male.

Man.

男！

Tian Li —

A penis?!

I just got off the train. I typed these two chapters on my phone on the train... I'm exhausted.

People who type on their phones are truly amazing...

Chapter 308 The Missing Girls

Regardless of how shocked Mr. Barbatos was, in short, Governor Ringo had already boarded the car heading to the fourth node.

To prevent any reckless individuals from stubbornly venturing into the Fourth Sea Area to seek their doom, there were many people guarding the road leading to the Fourth Node Sea Area. After showing their Admiral Guild passes, Ringo's car finally arrived at the beach of the Fourth Sea Area.

The car didn't drive very close to the fourth sea area, but stopped far away on the road, as if it were afraid that if it got too close, some strangely shaped whale would suddenly jump out of the sea and swallow it whole.

Ringo didn't make things difficult for the driver who was driving the private car, so he got out of the car.

"Sir, how long will you be staying?" the driver asked Ringo.

Ringo thought for a moment, then quietly looked into the driver's eyes.

The driver was an ordinary person, an ordinary person from a coastal city. Because they didn't have any ship girls to protect them, they lived very cautiously. When they saw Ringo determined to come to the beach of the fourth node, they didn't dare to stop her, but they also didn't dare to follow her into that already sealed-off area.

Ringo sensed the faint worry and tension in the driver's eyes.

"Thank you, go back now." Ringo said softly, then turned and walked towards the beach alone.

Ringo walked onto the beach alone, while the car behind her slowly drove away from the area.

As the Inland Governor, he was required to be informed of any changes in the Zhangjie Sea area.

Therefore, Ringo was also very clear about the changes in the Fourth Sea.

Ringo walked toward the center of the beach, feeling the soft, warm sand beneath her feet.

Sure enough, after taking only a couple of steps, I saw people.

Right in the middle of the beach, there was a parasol.

Two girls, one in white and one in red, sat under the umbrella. Several other ship girls sat scattered on the ground in the sunlight, looking very tired.

Ringo quickened her pace toward the parasol.

You can see it clearly when you get closer.

Two ship girls dressed in white sailor uniforms and with long, black hair standing on end were kneeling on the beach. Their fair skin, exposed to the elements, was covered in fine sweat and damp sand mixed with seawater.

"Ha...ha...ha..." The two ship girls were panting heavily, drenched in sweat, their soft skin flushed slightly, and their limbs were trembling slightly. They looked extremely tired.

Ringo could tell at a glance that this was the state of reaching its limit.

It's not the kind of limit state where you're about to break through and unleash new potential, but rather a state where your body has been completely drained after breakthroughs, and you can no longer squeeze out any potential in a short time, and your body is even about to collapse.

Even the ship girls' incredibly long breaths and physical strength could not conceal the fact that these two ship girls were already nearing their limits.

"I...I'm so sorry, Admiral...I..." One of the two ship girls, with a single ponytail, lowered her head and apologized to the girl under the umbrella with a guilty expression, "I'm really sorry for not being able to stick to the training..."

Compared to this ship girl who can still speak, the other ship girl beside her who can't even speak is in a much worse state.

As the embodiment of power, the ship girl's eyes were now glazed over, her soft, heavy breasts wrapped tightly in her sailor uniform, bobbing up and down with each breath she took, as if she were about to faint.

"Kaohsiung, Atago, why don't you come in and cool off for a bit?"

"It's alright... ship girls... aren't afraid of the heat..."

"Oh, then have some water..." The girls under the umbrella quickly handed over the bottled water in their hands. "Veneto's training is too heavy, it's normal that you can't keep up."

The ship girl gratefully accepted the water cups handed to her by the admirals and gulped them down.

After drinking the water, the ship girl's condition improved somewhat.

“But…” The ship girl who spoke first lowered her head in disappointment, looking quite dejected. “I’m sorry… Helena and Wichita both persevered.”

"They have better equipment, so they will definitely have less of a burden during combat. Takao and Atago, you are ship types that rely heavily on equipment. Sometimes it is very difficult for you if you don't have the equipment."

"...I'm so sorry..."

"In short, I will get stronger as soon as possible to equip Takao and Atago with new gear!"

The red-haired girl stood up and encouraged the two ship girls in front of her.

Ringo then walked over to the parasol.

The ship girls on the beach had actually noticed Ringo's approach long ago, but because Ringo didn't seem to have any ill intentions and because she was so beautiful that they couldn't bring themselves to feel any aversion to her, they let her approach.

"Admiral, someone's here." The ship girl kneeling in front of the girl took a deep breath, composed herself, and said to the girl in front of her.

"Someone's there?" The two girls under the parasol lowered their heads and stepped out of the parasol's reach.

The first one to come out was a red-haired girl.

This young woman appears to be the admiral of Takao and Atago.

Ringo shifted her gaze to the girl behind the young woman.

“It’s been two days since we’ve seen any outsiders. I almost thought we had the whole place to ourselves.” Another white-haired girl bent down and stepped out from under the parasol, then smiled gently at Ringo.

"Hello," the white-haired girl greeted Ringo.

Ringo bowed slightly to them.

"What are you doing?" Ringo asked.

"Ah, they're training." Xiaobai glanced at Atago and Takao, who were kneeling beside her and Nia, too tired to even stand up for a while. Afraid that the people in front of her would misunderstand, she quickly waved her hand and said, "It's a very safe training session. There's absolutely no coercion involved in the ship girls' training."

Ringo nodded.

"Excuse me, who are you? What are you doing here?" Xiaobai asked curiously when she saw that Ringo had no other questions.

Having spent two days on the beach at the fourth node, Xiaobai hadn't seen anyone else.

This was the first stranger she had ever met.

"Ringo," Ringo replied, looking at Shiro, "to explore the sea area."

"Huh? Are you an admiral sent down from headquarters, sister?" Xiaobai asked.

Ringo nodded.

Xiao Bai looked at the person in front of her with some surprise.

To be honest, I thought the person sent down from above would be a super-powerful admiral surrounded by ship girls, but I didn't expect him to be such a lonely person.

I was a little surprised.

Just then, Sukhbaatar, Rafijaw, and two others emerged from the shop behind the beach, each carrying a box of popsicles.

The three little girls, each with a small suitcase, walked excitedly towards this side.

"Little girl! The popsicles are frozen, and this time they're brand new!" Sukhbaatar slammed the popsicle box he was carrying onto the sand, then pulled out a chilly popsicle. "Here, have a taste."

Then Sukhbaatar's gaze met Ringo's.

Ringo's calm gaze turned to surprise upon seeing Sukhbaatar.

Ringo is not good at expressing emotions. Only after encountering something that surprises him or causes him great emotional fluctuations can one see a hint of emotion on his poker-faced expression.

Ringo saw Sukhbaatar, and Sukhbaatar naturally saw Ringo as well.

"Uh." Sukhbaatar stopped holding the popsicle and looked at Ringo with an embarrassed expression.

"Lord Su, do you know this lady?" Xiao Bai asked.

“Sister? Ah…” Sukhbaatar showed an indescribable expression. “Well, that makes sense. There’s nothing wrong with understanding it that way.”

Sukhbaatar finally nodded: "Yes, I know him."

"You know him?" Xiao Bai didn't expect that his casual question, given Sukhbaatar's puzzled expression, would lead to his correct guess.

“Yes, I know her,” Sukhbaatar repeated, looking up at Ringo with an expression as if she had been caught doing something secretly.

Ringo gave Sukhbaatar a questioning look.

"Okay, okay, I know. It was wrong of me to keep it from you." Sukhbaatar couldn't stand Ringo's gaze and quickly waved his hands apologetically, "I have an admiral now..."

Sukhbaatar's reaction was quite novel.
