Elder brother's garrison

"Your leader is being far too cautious," Xiaobai said to the approaching ship girls of the Li Huo Mercenary Group.

"..." The ship girls of the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group were silent for a while before speaking, "The leader's ideas are not open to questioning. You need to be punished."

After saying this, the ship girls all reached out and grabbed at Xiaobai.

Changchun and Chaoda didn't move; they quietly watched Xiaobai.

Hancock stared at Little White's retreating figure, remaining silent.

Xiao Bai looked at the dozen or so hands reaching towards his body, and his expression was one of helplessness.

"Oh well... I'm in a hurry anyway."

When the ship girls reached out to Shiro, a fierce blue flame erupted from Shiro's body with a loud bang.

The next moment, the massive land-based ship crashed down from the sky with a loud thud.

Amidst the shocked and almost dumbfounded gazes of the Fire Mercenary Group's ship girls, the main gun of the land-based ship equipment began to gather terrifying energy. The barrel of the main gun gradually glowed and heated up, and then the energy accumulated to a terrifying degree.

Chapter 3429 Bright as Day

Xiaobai held onto the land-based ship equipment with one hand, her white hair flying backward amidst the massive air blast.

"If you don't move aside, I'll have no choice but to... fight my way through myself."

Xiao Bai said softly.

Then, the land-based ship-mounted laser cannons slightly tilted upwards and instantly unleashed a massive and astonishing beam of light forward.

The beam of light was silent, but it had already passed through the factory area in an instant.

The night was as bright as day.

Every ship girl in the path of the laser cannon was killed.

They didn't even utter a scream before everyone lost consciousness. The sturdy ship armor instantly turned into molten iron, and the heavily damaged protection desperately operated amidst the laser beams.

The laser cannon lasted for less than ten seconds.

Laser convergence.

Little White looks ahead.

Before Xiaobai, a laser trail three or four meters thick stretched directly from the ground to the factory area. Wherever the laser passed, ship girls lay covered in molten iron. The stone slabs and grass on the ground had long since turned to dust. Even the distant factory area was pierced through from beginning to end, and the stars and moon could be seen at the other end of the factory.

The ship girls who had rushed up so aggressively were now completely terrified by Shiro's laser cannon.

None of the ship girls in the laser's path were spared.

But the most terrifying thing is that even ship girls who are not completely in the laser's path are still greatly affected.

Some ship girls were only half-covered by lasers, some only had one leg covered, some only had one arm covered, and some only had their right pinky finger accidentally touch the laser...

However, even these ship girls who were merely exposed to the laser were all severely damaged and knocked unconscious on the ground.

What a terrifying attack this was...

Isn't she...isn't she a small ship?

What exactly was that massive ship rigging we just saw...?

Is this... a ship girl or a demon...?

The surviving ship girls sat blankly on the ground, supporting themselves with their hands behind their backs, their knees trembling uncontrollably, staring at Xiaobai with shuddering expressions.

But no matter what, one thing has become a consensus among the ship girls present.

That is... I am absolutely, absolutely, absolutely... no match for this white-haired little girl in front of me!

They don't even deserve to be looked at by her!

Under the moonlight, Xiaobai's fair face was reflected in the ship girls' vision, but it suddenly reminded them of the most terrifying thing they had ever seen in their lives.

"Don't move."

Just then, Xiaobai smiled and spoke to the ship girls.

The ship girls immediately stopped what they were doing in fear, squeezed their knees together, and lowered their heads.

Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and looked towards the factory area in the distance.

Xiaobai took a step forward, leading the ship girls towards the factory area.

As Xiaobai approached the factory area, they gradually moved away from the place where they had just released their ship equipment, and more and more ship girls had not directly faced Xiaobai's laser cannon.

The ship girls who weren't shocked summoned their ship equipment and tried to fight against Xiaobai.

But before the ship girls could launch their artillery barrage at Xiaobai and her group, Xiaobai let out a soft sigh, and the next moment, a fierce wave of mental energy surged outwards in all directions.

The ship girls immediately trembled and lay prostrate on the ground.

Xiaobai unleashed her laser cannon once again, targeting the path with the most ship girls and launching a laser attack.

A thick beam of laser light shot up from the ground, piercing through the ship girls along the road and through an abandoned factory building behind them.

Xiao Bai's steps never stopped from beginning to end while doing these things.

Xiao Bai moved through the crowd as if it were empty!

Behind Xiaobai, Changchun and Chaoda followed her with light steps. The two of them looked at the ship girls around them who were stunned, as if they were riding a sightseeing bus, their eyes full of comfort and smiles.

As for Hancock, she followed behind Changchun and Chao Yamato, her eyes constantly scanning the surrounding area. She looked at the heavily damaged ship girls covered in molten iron, at the group of ship girls who were frozen in fear, some even losing control of their bladders on the spot, and at the conspicuous and shocking wounds on the surrounding buildings... Even with her cold demeanor, Hancock was momentarily stunned...

……

the other side.

After delivering his speech on the platform, Li Yan, the leader of the Li Huo Mercenary Group, descended from the platform in high spirits and returned to the factory area.

The factory occupied by the Li Huo Mercenary Group has now been transformed into a fortress and palace by Li Yan at great expense.

The “palace” was located in the very center of the factory, in a large warehouse that was over a hundred square meters in size.

Back in the warehouse, the interior was lavishly decorated, with gold and red accents creating a magnificent scene. Rows of ship girls stood guard, each holding a feather fan taller than a person and carrying an exquisite fruit platter, as if welcoming the return of an emperor.

Li Yan casually took a bunch of grapes from the ship girl's arms, ate two, and walked to his seat.

Refreshed.

This was the first word that echoed in Li Yan's mind after he returned to his palace.

So refreshing!

The Pure White Wings Mercenary Group has finally bitten itself hard!

Li Yan sat in his seat, his eyes lowered, looking at the project plan on the table, a smile playing on his lips.

The leader of the Pure White Wings... how naive.

Does he really think that by offering up Hancock and those three ship girls, he will be let go?

Heh heh...

Today's gift is just a token of our greeting.

The really good things are yet to come.

Without Hancock, the prestige and strength of the Pure White Wings will decline significantly.

Starting today, my plan will be implemented further. The Pure White Wings Mercenary Group will be bitten a second, a third, and a fourth time, gradually being devoured by me!

The Fire Blaze Mercenary Group is the top-tier mercenary group, and it will not allow anyone to threaten its position!

Thinking of this, Li Yan leaned back comfortably in his chair, waiting for Hancock and the other three ship girls to be brought in, bound hand and foot.

Just then, a dull thud sounded.

Li Yan, who was immersed in the bright future, frowned unhappily and turned to look at the side.

A woman dressed in bright red was kneeling on the ground not far away, looking disheveled. Her once exquisite makeup was now smeared with sweat, and her exposed skin was covered with wounds. One of her hands was wrapped in cement bandages, and the rest of her body was tightly bound. Even her mouth was stuffed with a wad of white cloth and sealed tightly with several layers of tape. She knelt on the ground, almost pleading and begging, making muffled noises as she looked at Li Yan humbly.

Li Yan frowned and looked at the woman for a while. He raised his hand and waved, signaling the ship girl next to him to use scissors to cut the bandage on the woman's mouth.

The bandages were cut open by the ship girl, and the woman in red let out a loud groan as she spat out the white cloth and began to gag violently.

"Husband... I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

The woman coughed for a long time before finally catching her breath. She quickly raised her head and began to sob and complain to Li Yan.

"I was really wrong, honey, please forgive me... I shouldn't have ruined your plans..."

"Baby, how did you ruin my plans?" Li Yan looked at the woman kneeling on the ground crying and said with a smile, "Thanks to you, I was able to give the Pure White Wings Mercenary Group a good thrashing. I'm so grateful to you."

"Really...really...then I..." The woman cried, then looked at Li Yan and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared.

“Yes, baby, I’m so grateful to you.” Li Yan got up from his seat and came to the woman. He pinched her chin with one hand, smiling as he stared at her tear-streaked face, looking at her features mixed with sweat and oil. “So… baby, can you help me one last time?”

"What? What?"

“Those three ship girls who bullied you before are here.” Li Yan said with a smile and a doting expression, “You should bow your head to them, admit your mistake, lick their feet, bark like a dog a few times, or at the very least let them beat you up to vent your anger.”

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, the woman's eyes widened in horror.

"Honey... I can't... I'm human... If the ship girls hit me... I'll... I'll die! They broke my arm with just a casual grip!" the woman screamed in panic. "Honey, please let me go! I can't, I really can't! You loved me so much before, you gave me everything, you can't..."

The woman screamed as she climbed onto the man, the plaster cast on her arm particularly noticeable.

Li Yan's expression turned cold and stern in an instant. He turned sideways and kicked the woman away.

"You filthy thing! Who gave you permission to rub your face on my clothes?!" Li Yan patted his clothes as if disgusted by the unclean thing on them. He coldly looked at the woman on the ground, her figure graceful but her appearance disheveled. "You don't really think you can compare to a ship girl, do you? You vulgar and ugly thing, I only kept you by my side because of your shrewishness and cunning, and your innate aversion to ship girls. You're just my dog! I asked you to help me go out and cause trouble for Pure White Wings, but you went and provoked someone else. Now you can't even do this kind of thing right. What use are you to me! I asked you to use your last bit of strength, and you're still making excuses? You don't know what's good for you!"

Li Yan launched a barrage of insults.

The woman sat on the ground, her breathing almost stopped, staring blankly at Li Yan.

Li Yan moved closer again, smiling as he pinched the woman's chin once more.

"Honey, you'll help me, right?"

"..." The woman looked at Li Yan and silently shed tears.

Li Yan released his hand with satisfaction.

“When the three of them come in, you have to fawn over them like a dog and beg for forgiveness, especially the tallest one. If you serve her well, she might be willing to stay and join our mercenary group, and you can stay by my side.” Li Yan turned his back and returned to his seat, his cold voice echoing in the hall. “If she is even slightly unwilling… you should know that your life is not worth half of theirs.”

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, the woman's face instantly turned deathly pale.

Li Yan turned around and looked at the woman who was motionless, seemingly quite satisfied. He returned to his seat and was about to sit down.

boom! ! ! !

Suddenly, the warehouse collapsed.

A blazing, thick laser beam shot out from above Li Yan's head, piercing right through the beautifully decorated hall!

The hall began to collapse instantly.

Li Yan sat in his seat, looking blankly up at the sky.

For a few seconds at night, the starry sky is as bright as day.

Chapter 3430 Four people? No! One person!

Rumble rumble rumble...

After the ceiling was suddenly blasted through by a laser cannon, the entire hall began to sway precariously, as if a key piece had been removed during a game of building blocks.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread from the blasted-open ceiling to the four walls. Broken bricks and tiles fell everywhere with a rumble, and pieces of building debris mixed with steel bars crashed to the ground, sending up rings of white dust in all directions.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Protect the leader!"

The ship girls in the hall began to shout, and they all summoned their ship equipment and rushed to Li Yan's side, using their ship equipment and bodies to shield him from the falling building debris.

Li Yan could only hear a constant thumping sound coming from the ship girls protecting him.

The building's collapse lasted only a few seconds. After almost the entire ceiling had shattered into fragments of varying sizes and fallen into the hall, the hall, filled with white smoke and dust, gradually quieted down.

However, after what just happened, the once magnificent palace has once again turned into a pile of bricks and tiles, a dilapidated factory ruin.

"Commander, are you alright?"

Seeing that the surroundings had quieted down, the ship girls of the Li Huo Mercenary Group slowly dispersed and asked Li Yan a question.

Li Yan's face was as somber as a deep lake. He patted the dust off his clothes, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of displeasure.

Li Yan reached out and pushed aside the ship girls, then glanced around at the factory where he was located.
