Elder brother's garrison

It seems that Changchun is quite happy about being able to venture into the deep-sea area during the activity period.

"Is this Changchun's first time participating in the Deep Sea event?" Xiaobai asked.

"Yes." Changchun nodded shyly. "I've hardly ever left the garrison headquarters before. Luckily, the admiral chose me this time."

"Because Changchun is very powerful."

"Thank you, Admiral." Changchun was even happier to receive the praise, his whole face beaming with happiness.

At this moment, the four of them walked to the side of a particularly large courtyard.

"Admiral, this is it..."

"Admiral!!" Before Changchun could finish speaking, Chuixue's voice came from the courtyard wall.

Fubuki stood there with her hands on her hips and her legs braced against the wall, back to the sun, striking a pose like a big boss making his entrance.

"Admiral, you're here!" Fubuki jumped down from the high wall, ran to Shiro's side, and ran around her several times before standing in front of her.

"Yes, I'm here." Shiro greeted Fubuki in front of her. "Has Fubuki been behaving well these past two days?"

"Fubuki is super obedient." Fubuki said confidently to Shiro, then looked at Bismarck and the pursuers, her smile unreserved, "Good afternoon, Bismarck and Flower Sister!"

"Ah hello."

"Who is Sister Hua Q?!" The pursuer felt as if he had been hit in the knee again.

"Tirpitz told us that from now on, whenever we see Sister Chase, we should call her Sister Flower Q. She said we'll be very happy."

"Only an idiot would be happy!" The pursuer hated Tirpitz to the core. She gritted her teeth and stomped her foot hard, the slippers Bismarck had given her making a crisp clattering sound against the pursuer's heel. "Tirpitz!"

The pursuers could almost picture Tirpitz wearing headphones, looking completely serious as he spouted nonsense to Fubuki.

Seeing that the territory of his garrison was right in front of him, the pursuers greeted Xiaobai and said goodbye before rushing into the courtyard with murderous intent.

It's obvious they're heading straight for Tirpitz.

Xiaobai, Chuixue, and Changchun also entered the courtyard.

As for the First Naval Base, although it can't be said to have many more privileges than other naval bases on the surface, it can at least acquire more territory during the Deep Sea event.

"The Admiral is back." At this moment, the remaining three Fubuki-class destroyers in the courtyard also came out and surrounded Xiaobai.

The feeling of being welcomed by destroyers anytime, anywhere almost made Xiaobai feel like he was back at the naval base.

In the center of the courtyard, Richelieu, now dressed in normal clothes, listlessly swept the ground with a broom, looking utterly dejected.

Lexington was determined to keep Richelieu by her side, using the love and justice of the naval base to constantly influence the ship girl's heart, and not giving her any opportunity to communicate with Osmanthus.

Xiao Bai understood Lexington's actions, although he felt inexplicably sorry for Richelieu, but he couldn't say anything.

Bismarck left at this point to go find Tirpitz.

After greeting Richelieu, Xiaobai followed the destroyers' directions and arrived at the room where Lexington was.

There were three people in the room where Lexington was, which was also the temporary admiral's room.

Saratoga lay on the sofa, her two slender, shapely legs kicking in the air beneath her short skirt.

Lexington and Yamato were sitting at a table, pointing at a map.

"The official start of the deep-sea activities will probably be another three or four days. I also became the flagship of the deep-sea activities inexplicably. I remember when I was the flagship, I would be enjoying myself in one sea area, and then the next second I would be in the deep-sea home. I don't know what happened. Anyway, I was surrounded by a bunch of escort ships, and then I inexplicably followed an impulse and ran to the human society and got beaten up by you guys."

Fukami Yamato sat down with someone and pointed to a corner of the map on the table, saying, "Anyway, it's probably around here."

Lexington smiled and nodded, then quickly jotted down notes: "What kind of configuration does the first wave usually have?"

"The escort ships assigned to us each time are different. Ah, that's true. Actually, after being the flagship for a long time, you can figure out the pattern. I think the first wave of this quarter should be..." Abyssal Yamato said seriously.

They seem to be having a great time chatting.

Xiao Bai smiled and walked to the sofa, looking at Saratoga, who looked empty, lonely and cold.

Saratoga, who was kicking his leg at the air, saw the white figure and quickly sat up from the sofa.

"Small……"

"Shh." Little White smiled at Saratoga, then lowered his voice, "Lexington is still working."

Saratoga nodded like a hamster, then pulled Whitey's wrist and stood up.

"Let's go out." Xiaobai had originally wanted to see if Lexington needed to handle some documents, but it seemed that Lexington and Deepsea Yamato were discussing a crucial issue, and Xiaobai probably couldn't help.

Anyway, there's nothing much to do right now. I just heard from Yamato that the deep-sea activity won't officially start for another three or four days, so why don't you take advantage of this rare free time to go to the city and have some fun?

Upon hearing Xiaobai's voice, Saratoga's face lit up like a blooming flower. She hugged Xiaobai's arm and pressed her body tightly against him.

"Come back soon." Lexington, who was discussing the Deep Sea lineup with Yamato, the Deep Sea traitor, looked up at this moment, smiled at Little White and Saratoga, and said, "Gaga, protect Little White's safety."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Saratoga nodded like a pump, her long blonde hair turning into golden waves from her vigorous movements.

Autumn deep-sea activity season strategy: outside of temporary cities, on the edge of safe sea areas.

At this moment, a group of ship girls were constantly probing inwards from this safe edge.

The deep-sea activity period has not officially begun yet, but that does not mean that this sea area is safe.

The main force of the fish and shrimp has not yet approached this area, but quite a few small fish and shrimp are still drifting towards it with the wind.

"Boom boom boom!" The sound of the ship girls' cannon fire was like a series of drumbeats, which rang out rapidly. As a string of red shells crashed into the water, splashing water several meters high, the black silhouettes of one or two deep-sea destroyers were revealed.

"Found it!" The ship girls rushed over like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

Several red-hot shells instantly shattered the hull of the deep-sea destroyer.

A ship girl approached and picked out a piece of black metal from the wreckage of the deep-sea destroyer. Her eyes lit up immediately: "I've got it!"

"As expected of the deep-sea activity period, even such a weak destroyer can be scavenged for deep-sea metal." The ship girls put the deep-sea metal back into their ship equipment space with satisfaction. "The admiral should be very happy now."

"Yeah, probably, but we still need to be careful." Another ship girl said to the ship girl collecting deep-sea metal, "This isn't the Chapter Sea area; anything could happen."

"Okay." The ship girl holding the deep-sea metal smiled at her companion. "Look, we've been here for two days already. Do you think it's dangerous? Headquarters said the main force won't arrive for a long time. What we've encountered now are just some small fry who are outnumbered."

Even the cautious ship girl was rendered speechless by her companion's lecture.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained," the ship girl holding the deep-sea metal said to her companion with a smile.

Chapter 408 So Sweet

"Oh...that makes sense," the cautious ship girl murmured.

"Should we take another look inside?" the ship girl holding the deep-sea metal asked tentatively.

"No, no! It's too dangerous! We're already in danger enough standing on the edge of the safe zone!" the cautious ship girl quickly refused.

"Ahem." The ship girl holding the deep-sea metal cleared her throat, took something out of her ship equipment space, and tossed it to her companion in front of her.

The cautious ship girl instinctively reached out and took it.

It was a small piece of chocolate cake.

"Why are you giving me this?" the cautious ship girl asked curiously. "I won't be bribed by something like this. Anyway, I can't go."

"Do you know how many of these we can buy with what we've gained in the last two days?" the ship girl holding the deep-sea metal asked mysteriously.

"……How many?"

The ship girl holding the deep-sea metal extended her five fingers.

"Five hundred?"

"...50,000."

"Holy crap!" The cautious ship girl looked at her companion in shock.

"This is the income from just two days of catching small fry on the edge of the city. You know what I mean? Nothing ventured, nothing gained." The ship girl holding the deep-sea metal said, "Our admiral's strength isn't that great in this city. You know, lately it's been difficult to even keep our little sisters on their regular expeditions. As the two ship girls who were the first to accompany the admiral, shouldn't we think of something?"

"..." The cautious ship girl lowered her head, feeling conflicted.

"So, you know what I mean, right?" the ship girl holding the deep-sea metal said. "As long as we take just a little risk, just a little bit, we can get a lot of resources, right? And headquarters also said that there won't be swarms of deep-sea amphibious ships, just a few lone ones. We can handle them, and if we can't, we can run away."

The cautious ship girl wavered.

“…Then, just one day, just one day. Tomorrow I will absolutely not agree to you going any further.” She said to her friend.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!" The ship girl holding the deep-sea metal smiled, then pulled her companion away from the safe zone.

After cautiously stepping out of the safe zone marker, the ship girl finally seemed to give up completely and obediently picked up speed.

The waters outside the safe zone are not much different from the safe zone, except that they are not subject to regulation. If something unexpected happens, there will be no immediate assistance. However, there are quite a few other ship girls competing with this group for jobs in the safe zone. In order to seek more profits, the two of them decided to risk their lives and go to the wider waters to find profits.

The search took half a day.

With a deafening roar, the steel armor of a deep-sea light cruiser was shattered by fierce artillery fire.

After carefully checking that the enemy in front of her had completely lost its life force, the ship girl holding the deep-sea metal slowly moved to its side and searched for the deep-sea metal.

"I got another one!" She happily held up the deep-sea metal in her hand and smiled at her companion.

As expected of the deep-sea area during the deep-sea activity period, the quality of the deep-sea amphibious ships is extremely high, with almost every one of them possessing deep-sea metal.

During the half-day of looting, the ship girls encountered almost no danger and obtained more deep-sea metal than in the previous two days combined without much effort.

As the ship girl happily tallied her loot with the deep-sea metal in hand, her companion glanced back in the direction they had come from with some concern.

After half a day of advance, they had completely moved away from the temporary sea city.

"Let's go back," the cautious ship girl said to her companion with some concern. "It's too far from home."

"What are you afraid of? It's okay, really..."

"Please, go back." The cautious ship girl pleaded with her companion, her voice trembling.

The ship girl who was counting the deep-sea metal paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's go back."

"Thank you... I was a bit too timid..."

"It's alright, being timid is a good thing, it means you'll live longer." The ship girl, who was counting the deep-sea metal, put it away and comforted her companion, "Let's go back quickly."

"Okay." The careful ship girl looked at her companion with gratitude.

Just as the two ship girls were preparing to return to the city in the sea, a black and red light appeared on the other side of the sea.

Ship girls have keen senses, and they quickly noticed the point of light.

They turned around and looked at the spot of light.

That was a lone deep-sea amphibious vessel.

"What kind of ship is that? I've never seen it before." The ship girl, who was counting the deep-sea metal, instinctively sensed something was wrong with the light spot. She nudged her companion, "Stop looking, let's go back."

"Okay." The cautious ship girl nodded as well.

However, sometimes things don't always go according to the wishes of the parties involved.

The black and red light spots seemed to have detected the presence of ship girls nearby and charged straight toward them.

"She's spotted us!" the cautious ship girl cried out to her friend in a panic.

"Don't panic! She's all alone. Even if we can't beat her, we can escape." Another ship girl comforted her companion, then quickly grabbed her hand and ran towards the sea city.

The black and red light spots realized that their targets didn't seem to want to fight them, so they suddenly accelerated and sped towards them.

The speed at which they were chasing each other far exceeded the speed at which the two ship girls were trying to escape.

The distance between them was shrinking at a very, very fast pace.

Gradually, the two ship girls who were fleeing for their lives finally saw the face of the Abyssal Fleet that was chasing them.

—She was a white-haired woman with huge black and red ship rigging.

He had two horns on his head, white hair that reached his waist, and fiery red eyes. His entire body was enveloped in a surging, pure fighting spirit.

The two ship girls' pupils constricted the moment they saw the white-haired woman.

"This is the Dean of the Deep Sea!" The cautious ship girl almost screamed as she said this.

"Run! Don't look back!" Another ship girl quickly closed her eyes, grabbed her companion, and ran back as fast as she could.

The headquarters' test results are correct; the main force of deep-sea troops will indeed take a long time to arrive.

Those that arrived early were just some lone deep-sea individuals.

—They are the ones who are wrong; they themselves have taken it upon themselves to imagine this isolated individual as a small fish or shrimp.

Who would have thought that the flagship of this event would abandon the main force of the deep sea and run straight towards human society like cannon fodder?
