Elder brother's garrison

"It's not hurt."

"Yeah, I'm super healthy," Little White said to Bismarck with a smile.

The black stain on Xiaobai's chest was Deep Sea's blood, not something that flowed out from her own injury. After all, although Xiaobai was very close to Deep Sea Dean in some ways, her blood was still bright red, so it should be.

The black stain on Xiaobai's chest was blood from Deep Sea Daihou. When Xiaobai was recovering Deep Sea Daihou's spiritual power, it got quite a bit of black stain on itself because it had to hug Deep Sea Daihou's broken body.

"Are you cold?" Bismarck asked.

"It's not cold," Xiaobai shook her head.

"Hmm." Bismarck looked at Tirpitz dressed in pajamas, thought for a moment, and then waved to him.

Tirpitz walked up to Bismarck, who reached out, took off Tirpitz's shoulder pads, and draped them over Bismarck's shoulders: "Make do with this."

"Thank you." Xiaobai retrieved her ship equipment and then smiled apologetically at Bismarck and Tirpitz.

After the ship girls saw that their admiral was truly unharmed, they turned their attention to the other protagonist in this sea area.

The ship girls gazed at the Deep Sea Dean, who was still floating on the water and whose body was charred black, and fell silent.

The constellation glanced at the charred Deep Sea Dean a few times, then looked down at Little White, who was smiling gently.

Xiaobai noticed the constellation's gaze. She shrank back, tugged at her shawl with her small hand that was only partially visible inside her sleeve, and then smiled at the constellation with a blush on her face.

The constellation couldn't bear it and turned its head away.

Even if their own admiral looks at them with the adorable expression of a primary school student who has built a sand sculpture on the beach and then brought his parents to see it, Constellation cannot ignore what kind of earth-shattering things their admiral has done.

This is a Deep Sea Dean! Although the constellation has never actually clashed with this Deep Sea Dean, no ordinary ship girl can possibly fight against him.

Even though Xingzuo (Constellation) has the advantage of being born with full soul power... oops, I mean, starting with full level power, she still doesn't think she has the ability to fight a Deep Sea Dean one-on-one.

This isn't cowardice; it's a rational understanding of one's own capabilities.

In fact, not to mention the constellations themselves, even the other ship girls present could not guarantee that they could reliably take on an Abyssal Lord in a one-on-one fight.

Besides, it seems that I, the admiral, am not injured yet.

As the zodiac sign looked at Xiaobai, it began to tremble slightly.

What's the point of fighting in the deep sea anymore? I wasn't even ready, and the admiral came down and tore me apart.

The admiral was supposed to protect me, but somehow it turns out he's more powerful than me. Doesn't that make my position awkward?

—Is my only use to help the admiral complete his encyclopedia?

The more I think about the zodiac signs, the more shocked I become, and the more I feel like I've discovered the truth of the world.

Xiaobai was completely unaware of the inner turmoil within the zodiac sign.

After Bismarck finished packing, he suggested that they go and take a look at the place where the Deep Sea Dean had been bombed.

Anyway, the ship girls are numerous and powerful now. Even if that charred ship girl is pretending to be dead and trying to blow up her corpse, with a bunch of fully trained super ship girls here, she can't cause any trouble.

The group walked past a large amount of ship wreckage, aircraft debris, and artillery shell wreckage, as if traversing a battlefield, until they reached the charred Deep Sea Dean.

"Is this the culprit behind this deep-sea anomaly?" Saratoga asked.

"Well, but it's one of the things I'm going to talk about," Xiaobai said.

"One of them?" The ship girls looked at Xiaobai in confusion.

"There's another Deep Sea Dean behind us, but that Dean is still in the gestation period and can't be moved yet. Let's go over there later," Xiaobai said to the ship girls.

The ship girls looked at Xiaobai, somewhat puzzled as to why Xiaobai knew so much about the situation at sea. However, out of their unconditional trust in Xiaobai, the ship girls did not ask any further questions.

Bismarck crouched down next to Dean Abyss and reached out to grab his arms.

The moment Bismarck made contact with the Deepsea Commander, all the ship girls prepared for battle.

However, the Deep Sea Dean did not come back to life. Bismarck simply pulled him over, flipping him over like flipping a fried egg.

"Ah..." The ship girls looked at the Deep Sea Dean's face and couldn't help but show a rather embarrassed expression.

The Dean of the Deep Sea Academy seems to have excellent defense, and since Xiao Bai probably didn't intend to kill him, he didn't die, but his injuries were not light.

This was a deep-sea dean with short white hair, a fully formed humanoid body with long limbs. Her green ship uniform was shredded beyond recognition from the bombing. Because of her contact with the water, there were fewer charred areas on her front, allowing a glimpse of her skin color. However, her skin was covered with various large and small wounds, from which blood trickled out in thin streams, a truly gruesome sight. Although none of her wounds were fatal, the sheer number of small cuts was enough to kill even ten humans.

—What a deep grudge this is.

The ship girls couldn't help but swallow hard as they looked at the Deep Sea Dean, who was practically tortured.

"Will she die?" Little White asked Bismarck.

"It's alright, his breathing is steady, and his heartbeat is still strong. There's no danger to his life." Bismarck placed his hand under the Deep Sea Dean's nose, felt for a while, then reached out and grabbed the Deep Sea Dean's conscience, closed his eyes and felt it for a moment before speaking to Little White.

"Ah...that's good." Xiaobai smiled.

"What did she do?" Bismarck asked Little White.

"Ah... Bismarck, what do you think we should do?"

"Execute by cannon fire."

"..." Xiaobai's expression was somewhat subtle.

To be honest, Xiaobai was a little angry with Dean Shenhai. But after she had vented her anger and even hit him, seeing Dean Shenhai in such a state, Xiaobai's anger subsided.

Even after all that, Xiaobai still felt a little uneasy about her being executed.

After spending more time with the Deans of the Deep Sea, Xiao Bai became increasingly soft-hearted towards them.

"Or we could take him back," Bismarck said, quickly changing her mind after seeing the white figure's expression.

"Ah, is it really okay?"

“One more won’t make a difference.” Bismarck nodded.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just pack your things and carry her back later," Bismarck said to Little White.

"Thank you, Bismarck," Little White said to Bismarck.

Bismarck shook her head, then looked underwater: "Where is her deep-sea metal?"

"Ah... I didn't notice." Xiaobai lowered her head guiltily.

During the battle just now, Xiaobai wasn't fighting on her own; she relinquished control of her ship equipment and let the Deep Sea Will take over.

The Will of the Deep Sea had no interest in the existence of Deep Sea Metal. To her, Deep Sea Metal was like gallstones—useless. She immediately bombarded the Dean of the Deep Sea with a single word, and after that, she returned to Xiaobai's mental world.

Bismarck shook his head, then put down the Deep Sea Dean and surveyed the surrounding wreckage.

The Deep Sea Dean's Deep Sea Metal is a very precious item. The Deep Sea Will doesn't find it rare, but that doesn't mean others don't want it. Even the novice naval base of the world's number one naval base can't ignore such a high-end item.

The ship girls present understood and dispersed, searching through the surrounding ship wreckage.

"Could it have fallen into the water?" Fubuki said to Changchun beside her as she rummaged through the ship's wreckage on the sea surface.

"What if you really fall into the water?"

"Go down and fish it out," Fubuki said to Changchun.

"Why, why am I the one who has to fish?"

"Because your breasts are big, it's easier for you to float to the surface," Fubuki said without blushing or panting.

Changchun, his face flushed, unleashed a torrent of words onto Chuixue's shoulder.

Xiao Bai looked awkwardly at Fubuki and Changchun not far away, then closed his eyes and tentatively released his Admiral Network.

Xiao Bai slightly expanded the scope of the admiral's network, and soon it covered this sea area.

Xiao Bai was hoping to use the Admiral Network to find out the general direction of the deep-sea metal, but after she opened the Admiral Network, she was surprised by its efficiency.

Just as Xiaobai deployed his admiral network, encompassing this sea area, he quickly sensed a peculiar fluctuation on the surface of the sea. The fluctuation was quite obvious; to Xiaobai, it was as if that area had been marked with a unique red color, making it quite conspicuous.

"Bismarck, can we go look for it there?" Little White asked Bismarck from afar.

Bismarck put down what she was holding and turned to look at Little White.

Xiao Bai was pointing to a ship's wreckage that was some distance away. Bismarck nodded, then walked over to the deep-sea wreckage and searched through it for a while.

Finally, Bismarck raised an eyebrow and pulled out a piece of pale green deep-sea metal from her ship's equipment.

Bismarck walked back to Little White with the deep-sea metal in her hand.

"Wow, Admiral, how did you find it?" Bismarck's act of finding the deep-sea metal under Shiro's guidance was also seen by the other ship girls. Fubuki looked at the deep-sea metal in Bismarck's hand with admiration and curiosity in her big eyes.

"Haha... I just opened the Admiral Network and tried it out and found it..." Shiro said to Fubuki apologetically, "Next time I'll be more careful not to lose the Deep Sea Metal."

"It'd better not happen again." Bismarck interrupted Little White, reaching out to pat its head as she slowly said, "Danger."

"kindness."

"Take this deep-sea metal." Bismarck handed the green deep-sea metal back to Little White.

Xiaobai accepted Bismarck's Deep Sea Metal and looked at the green patterns on it with some curiosity.

"Eat it if you want," Bismarck said to Little White.

"Huh? I didn't say I wanted to eat..." Little White immediately felt embarrassed upon hearing Bismarck's words, and she explained to Bismarck with a blush on her face.

“Lexington said you like this,” Bismarck said.

"..." While wondering what kind of impression she had left on others, Xiao Bai was indeed speechless.

After all this time, Xiaobai has gradually lost much of his resistance to consuming the Deepsea Dean's Deepsea Metal. And in fact, it was precisely because of this action that Xiaobai's ship equipment was able to be gradually strengthened into its current form, and it was thanks to this ship equipment, which has been strengthened and amplified several times, that Xiaobai overcame most of the hardships and dangers.

So Bismarck wasn't wrong after all.

"Uh... well, I'll take it then..." Little White said to Bismarck shyly, holding the deep-sea metal.

Bismarck nodded, then looked at the unresponsive Dean Abyss lying beneath her.

“Let me do it, Bismarck-senpai.” Missouri smiled and walked up to Bismarck, reaching out to lift the Deep Sea Dean onto his shoulders.

"sorry to bother you."

“It is Missouri’s honor,” Missouri said to Bismarck with a smile.

"Next, let's deal with the second Deep Sea Dean," Bismarck asked Shiro.

"Okay." Xiaobai nodded.

"where is it?"

"I know the direction, let's go that way." Xiaobai pointed in a direction and led Bismarck and the other ship girls in that direction.

The escape route for Taihou is quite long. At the ship girls' travel speed, it will take Shiro and the others about ten minutes to get there.

After Shiro left, all the ship girls followed her.

The journey was smooth sailing. Although they encountered a few passing deep-sea ships, the swift and humane destruction techniques that Bismarck had developed during his aluminum theft did not cause any major problems.

Constellation and Saratoga followed at the back of the group, watching the Bismarck flying unparalleled on the sea, their feelings complicated.

As a fellow artillery ship girl, Bismarck's actions deliver a shock that her sister cannot. In the eyes of the constellation, every move Bismarck makes is clean, energy-efficient, and precise, with each step containing extremely rich combat experience. She alone clears the way for everyone with remarkable efficiency.

—What a difference!

The constellation thought to itself that it was fortunate it hadn't asked Bismarck to rehearse with it, otherwise it probably wouldn't have even survived the opening scene.

I'm quite an impressive admiral myself.

Constellation thought to herself, then looked at Little White, who was being held in Tirpitz's arms.

"Crunch, crunch." Little White held the deep-sea metal, bared its silver teeth, and chewed on the metal with a blank expression.

"Admiral, Admiral, what's that smell?" Fubuki asked Shiro.

“Mint flavor,” Xiaobai replied.

Fubuki looked at the deep-sea metal in Shiro's hand with a curious expression.

Xiaobai understood immediately and used his front teeth to chip off a small piece of deep-sea metal, which he then handed to Fubuki.

Fubuki couldn't wait to put the deep-sea metal into her mouth. After a few crunching sounds, Fubuki's face changed, and she spat out a bunch of green dregs from her mouth.

"Admiral, it doesn't taste good," Fubuki said to Shiro with disappointment.

—No wonder it doesn't taste good.

The constellation looked at Xiaobai, who was eating with great relish, and revealed a rather tired expression.
