Elder brother's garrison

Ella immediately raised her hand.

"She meant no harm, can we let her go?" Xiaobai turned around and explained to the two ship girls.

Saratoga put her hands on her hips and turned around.

It's clear that Saratoga was quite unhappy with Whitebeard's decision. In her opinion, even if she didn't hang her up and whip her seventy or eighty times, she should at least make Ella experience some physical pain to avenge tonight's humiliation.

Bismarck also gave Xiaobai a look of incomprehension.

Bismarck wasn't as extreme as Saratoga; he simply wanted to kill Ella, that little bitch.

However, considering Ella's powerful backers and the hundreds of sisters in the naval base, he knew that he couldn't do anything to Ella.

Ultimately, as Missouri said, Ella did not physically harm Whitey in the slightest, not even a single hair.

"Ah, then I'll be going." Having received permission, Ella shrank her neck, slid up from the ground, and called out to the ship girl in the shadows, "Richelieu."

"Snapped!"

Richelieu, who was tightly bound by Saratoga, suddenly snapped the ropes and stood up.

"I'm very sorry, my admiral has caused you trouble." Richelieu walked up to Xiaobai, bowed his head and apologized.

Xiao Bai waved his hand and nodded with a smile.

Richelieu bowed slightly to Bismarck and Saratoga, then picked up Ella and prepared to jump out of the studio.

“Missouri from your naval base is currently tied up on the beach. Send someone to retrieve her. Her ship equipment is badly damaged; she shouldn’t have the strength to struggle,” Bismarck suddenly reminded him.

"Huh?" Ella turned around and looked at Bismarck with a strange look in her eyes.

"what happened?"

“…Ah, is that so…” Ella lowered her head and smiled for some reason. “Okay, good.”

Richelieu, seeing that Ella had finished speaking, lightly jumped and left through the opening created by Saratoga's bombing.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the two had disappeared into the horizon.

She swayed a few times.

"Finally gone... Ah..."

She covered her head and collapsed to the ground.

A wave of fatigue washed over me.

My vision gradually darkened.

The shouts of Bismarck and Saratoga in his ears also grew weaker.

Xiaobai didn't think too much about letting Ella go.

Ella's backing and the safety of the naval base were not things that Xiaobai was just considering.

After activating the Admiral Network, if you cannot adapt to this power in a short period of time, your mind will become fatigued quickly due to the constant high-intensity pressure.

As expected, Richelieu had already regained his strength.

If Xiaobai faints again, without Xiaobai's protection, Ella can do whatever she wants again.

……

Miss Ella is really amazing.

Although she looked defeated, her battle plan had not failed tonight.

She succeeded in everything.

I guess I'm the one who failed again.

The last second before darkness fell. Little White couldn't help but think this in his head.

Zhongmiao: Originally, I was supposed to update once at 10 AM and once at 9 PM, but I'm afraid I can't get rid of my old habit of breaking chapters, so I'll just post them together.

P.S.: I pulled Jeanne Alter yesterday! Hehehehehehehe

Chapter 68 Idiot

The matter ended surprisingly simply.

Bismarck and Saratoga were relieved to learn that Little White had simply fallen asleep from exhaustion and took him back to the inn.

As for the brief admiral's party that left a bad impression, he naturally left without saying goodbye.

Ella never showed her face again after that, seemingly because she had already achieved her goal and there was no need for her to appear again.

Of course, the ship girls from Xiaobai wouldn't want to see Ella again either.

With the strength of the White Town Guard, they are not afraid of Ella's background.

It's best to stay as far away from dangerous people as possible.

The next day, when Xiaobai woke up from her sleep, it was already close to noon.

After learning that she had missed the party and that the ship back home was about to depart, Xiaobai packed her things with a wry smile and went to the port with Bismarck and the others.

The party seemed to be going well, as none of the other admirals had any intention of returning to the naval base anytime soon.

Although the vast port was teeming with people, there was only one admiral, Xiaobai.

Having survived a night without major incident, and even being forced to activate the Admiral's Network, Xiaobai wouldn't have much of a liking for this island. Staying here for a few more days is absolutely out of the question.

"woooooo"

The passenger ship approached the port with a roar.

Large numbers of tourists who had longed to visit Corola Island swarmed off the ship like bees.

"It really feels like it started strong but ended weakly." While waiting for the tourists to disembark, Xiaobai muttered to herself, feeling inexplicably empty inside.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Bismarck asked from beside him.

After what happened last night, Bismarck's eyes never left Little White, and he was on edge, afraid that someone would suddenly appear and take Little White away.

"Hmm... I can't explain it..." Xiaobai didn't know why she said that.

There's always a feeling that things ended too quickly.

"Come to think of it, it seems there weren't many people at the party you were very familiar with," Bismarck asked. "These kinds of parties are all spread around, so if you received an invitation, someone must have written it specifically for you."

"Ah, that one. It must have been written by Ella." Xiaobai replied without much thought, "It's less of an invitation to the party and more of an opportunity to get closer to me. Ella happens to be one of the organizers of the party."

"..." Saratoga's face darkened as he stood next to Xiaobai.

Saratoga now has Ella OCD; her little face falls down whenever Ella is mentioned.

"Hahaha." Little White took Saratoga's hand and chuckled as he comforted her.

Saratoga's complexion improved slightly.

……

On Corola Island, atop a tall tower.

Ella, with her long black hair, gazed at the dock from afar.

The pier is quite far away; from here, it looks like a dark, dense mass.

But Ella still watched with great interest.

Richelieu stood cautiously beside her.

"Do you think she'll find out?" Ella suddenly asked herself.

Richelieu raised an eyebrow.

She knew this was her admiral talking to himself, and she didn't need to respond.

“Hmm…not smart enough…not smart enough…” Ella said.

She shook her head halfway through her sentence.

“No, no.” Ella overturned her own thought, turning to Richelieu. “What kind of person do you think she is?”

Richelieu knew that Ella was asking about Little White.

“Innocent, kind, and clever,” Richelieu replied.

Ella laughed for some reason.

She was already a beauty, but her smile was even more alluring.

“I thought she’d be a fool, but she’s surprisingly smart.” Ella smiled and nodded, then turned back around. “But I was wrong. She’s more than just smart.”

"She must have known that since I had put in so much effort, activating the Admiral Network was inevitable for her."

“Turning on the internet so early isn’t a good thing for her, so instead of turning it on herself, it’s better to have someone force her to turn it on. That way, we’ll have enough control. This control will help her maintain her humanity.”

"To be able to find her own ship girl, lock your ship equipment, and guide her ship girl to the hiding place in such a short time."

"To this day, I still don't know whether forcibly turning on her network was part of her plan or just a coincidence."

"Beneath that little girl's skin lies a soul more cunning than anyone else's."

"If you let your guard down just because of appearances, you'll be completely outmaneuvered," Ella said meaningfully.

"She's a monster in the truest sense of the word."

Richelieu remained silent.

"Shall we do an experiment?" Ella suddenly asked Richelieu, as if she had just remembered something.

What kind of experiment was it?

"Just a little reminder," Ella said, releasing her network.

"—If we don't realize it soon..."

"They're just so slow to react..."

……

At the port, Xiaobai seemed to feel something brush past his body.

She glanced at Bismarck and Saratoga beside her.

Bismarck and Saratoga didn't seem to feel this way and were still waiting for the people on the ship to come down.

As if drawn by something, Xiaobai looked towards a tall tower in the distance.

The network of admirals, who were still extremely inexperienced, spread out uncontrollably.

It spread in an instant.

Xiaobai's network of admirals, due to Xiaobai's powerful information capabilities, extends in scope that is no smaller than that of Ella.

Bismarck and Saratoga sensed the network being released by Little White and couldn't help but turn their attention to him.

Xiao Bai's eyesight is not good enough to see the people on that tall tower.

Suddenly, Saratoga, who was standing next to Xiaobai, felt her vision blur for a moment.

"Ah, I see it." Xiaobai suddenly realized that he could see the figures on the tower.

—It's Ella.

Ella and Richelieu were standing on the top of the tower.

—What are you doing in such a dangerous place?

Ella seemed to see Little White as well, and she smiled gently.

He opened his mouth and made a mouth shape.

"Fool."

After mouthing the words, Ella blew a kiss to Little White, then turned and jumped off the tower.

Richelieu followed Ella and jumped down as well.

……

"Idiot?" Xiaobai looked away, somewhat puzzled.

As expected, fatigue set in.

Xiao Bai quickly retrieved the Admiral Network.
