Elder brother's garrison

When the ship girls who went to search the ruins returned, they all looked at her with great awe, as if she were not looking at a rookie battleship, but a peerless master who had kept her achievements hidden.

……Um?

Why are they looking at me like that?

The battleship girl frowned, suddenly feeling something hard in her palm.

She raised her hand and found that she had somehow clenched several pieces of deep-sea dean metal that gleamed with a strange light in her palm.

The battleship girl paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked down at the sea.

The battleship ship girl's reflection was mirrored on the sea surface.

At this moment, a large sign had somehow appeared above the battleship girl's head, with three large, bold red characters written on it.

It was extremely dazzling.

Incredibly cool.

The sign says...

—I did it.

Chapter 1057 Superheroes

The admirals on the beach, being in a high-level sea area, have fundamentally different backgrounds from ordinary admirals, and therefore all have some experience in the activities.

Compared to the anxiety and unease that most admirals feel when an event is approaching, the admirals here are quite adept at reacting to events.

After all, events and such always come with various perks, so it's always better to act first.

After receiving the message from the Admiral Guild, most of the admirals on the shore chose to recall their ship girls as soon as possible. Once the ship girls were ashore, the admirals did not linger and quickly left the beach with their ship girls, rushing back towards the Admiral Guild that had issued the event mission.

As for the small number of admirals who remained, they naturally did not have negative thoughts about the event.

The reason they didn't recall their ship girls was mainly because when the Admiral's Guild sent out the event message, their deployed ship girls happened to form a reasonably strong "fish-slaying" team.

Since the node sea area where the ship girls are now is the event sea area, and based on past experience, the first stage of the event is not too difficult, and the fish-bombing team often clears it by just brute force, why not let those ship girls go in to explore now? We don't need to clear the stage, but at least exploring is very good. Consider it laying the first brick for the naval base strategy event.

Many of the admirals who remained were somewhat pleased, satisfied with their good luck and cleverness that day.

After all, even if these admirals only sent out a "fish-smashing" team, the level of training in that team was much higher than that of a regular admiral's main team, so they would definitely have no problem scouting the first stage of an event.

After all, you can't expect your ship girl to encounter twenty or thirty deep-sea deities lying in wait for her to walk into their trap as soon as she goes up to sea, can you?

However, it turns out.

Sometimes, relying solely on empiricism will inevitably backfire.

— Nearly half an hour has passed since the fire descended upon the outer edge of the sea.

On the beach, after most of the admirals had returned to the Admiral Guild, the originally dense crowd had dispersed considerably, and from a distance, the beach even had a rather deserted feel.

The remaining admirals stood in small groups at the back of the beach. Some frowned deeply, some clenched their arms tightly, and others kept their heads down and remained silent. Every now and then, they would glance at the other side of the sea. Even though they knew that human eyesight could not see very far, their eyes still shone with a desire to see through the sea.

Just half an hour ago, after these admirals' ship girls arrived and headed towards the depths of the sea, an extremely powerful explosion occurred on the ocean. The sea was engulfed in flames in an instant, and the entire ocean turned faintly red. The red light even faintly spread to the land and came into the view of these admirals.

Just after the sea of ​​fire rose from the surface, the ship girls, whose equipment was more or less damaged, carried their immobile companions back to the shore one after another, and informed their admirals of the situation in the first stage of this event.

Just as they approached the critical point of the operation and prepared to scout ahead, they were ambushed by at least twenty or thirty Deepsea Commanders who had been planning this attack. The ship girl force had almost no chance to resist and was completely routed under the first wave of devastating bombardment.

—Yes, Admiral, you heard right, there are twenty or thirty Deep Sea Deans.

—I wasn't stunned by the deep-sea amphibious ship, nor did I lose my sight.

—It's not a deep-sea frigate, nor a high-level deep-sea amphibious vessel, it's the Deep-Sea Dean. I can sense the Deep-Sea Dean's aura; I can vouch for it with the radar and antenna above my head.

It was unusual for the ship girls to spend so much time talking to their admirals during such a serious occasion as reporting on the battle situation.

Finally, bewildered, the admirals, whether they believed it or not, accepted reality and looked at each other, then quickly counted the number of ship girls who had returned to shore.

In the end, most of the ship girls in Chapter 6 were at least at a decent level. Under the bombardment of the supposedly terrifying Abyssal Commanders, all the ship girls suffered injuries of varying degrees. However, their high level of training and quick thinking allowed most of them to effectively avoid the worst-case scenario and escape back to the beach from the sea of ​​fire. Occasionally, some ship girls made mistakes in their dodging, resulting in severe damage to their ship equipment, but they were able to return to the Admiral's side with the help of their companions.

—Except for one, a new ship girl who just stepped into the sea today.

Upon learning that a new ship girl had remained in that sea of ​​fire and had not yet returned, the admirals on the beach all became serious.

The admirals in Chapter 1058, while not all of them were intimately familiar with each other, were still connected through social networks, making them essentially acquaintances within a large circle. Now, seeing that an admiral's ship girl was still missing in the inferno, these admirals quickly conspired. After comforting the admiral and the flagship kneeling on the beach, weeping, they immediately contacted their most capable ship girls, mobilizing a large number of top-tier ship girls to assemble a fleet and head towards the inferno for rescue.

Most admirals are like that.

Although it might seem like they enjoy arguing with each other, if something serious happens like a ship girl falling into the hands of the Abyssal Fleet, while they might not be able to call for help in times of crisis, at least the admirals who see it will generally be willing to lend a hand.

With the help of the admirals on the beach and the enthusiastic admirals they called out along the way, the quickly assembled rescue fleet, along with the guiding ship girls, sped towards the depths of the sea.

— Half an hour has passed since the fire descended onto the sea.

The admirals leaning against the beach would occasionally glance at the sea, then turn their heads to look at a female admiral who was squatting on the ground, her hands clasped together in prayer.

“They’re back!”

At that moment, a commander who was gazing at the sea suddenly shouted loudly.

The female admiral, who was squatting on the ground, trembled and quickly stood up from the sand, looking anxiously toward the horizon.

Sure enough, a row of dark spots, barely visible to the naked eye, appeared on the horizon.

Under the admirals' watchful eyes, the row of black dots gradually grew larger and longer, and then, as they slowly approached the land, they began to reveal the figures of ship girls one by one.

The large fleet, prepared to fight multiple deep-sea deans head-on, returned unscathed. The ship girls in the fleet all had excited smiles on their faces. Among them, several tall ship girls in the middle each held one of the ship girls high up, supporting a ship girl in tattered clothes who was clutching her chest, looking bewildered and blushing.

The ship girl tried every possible way to escape from the hands of the other ship girls, but there were simply too many ship girls in the fleet, each one a powerful battleship or aircraft carrier. Even though she struggled, she could only helplessly be tossed into the air by the fleet's ship girls, letting out a series of extremely shameful screams.

"Let me down—"

"I didn't! I didn't! It was someone else!"

"Stop it now!!!"

The screams sounded quite healthy.

Nothing serious should have happened.

As the female admiral watched the ship girl, who had been lifted high, safely return to land accompanied by the ship girls of the fleet, she burst into tears.

"hero!"

"hero!"

"hero!"

"hero!"

……

The admirals on land watched with bewilderment as the fleet's ship girls carried the ragged contestant ashore.

"Admiral!"

"Admiral!!"

"Admiral!!!"

The ship girls excitedly raised their hands, pointed at the ragged ship girl, and shouted to their admiral.

"This child stayed in the inferno alone to fight those Deep Sea Deans single-handedly!!!"

"So many! So many Abyssal Deans! She chased them all away!! By the time we arrived, the sea of ​​fire had long been extinguished, and the surface was covered with the horrific wreckage of the Abyssal Deans' ship equipment! She was there alone, using the rapid repair device! She was still clutching several pieces of the Abyssal Deans' metal in her hand!! It was the Abyssal Deans' metal!!! I'm so envious!!!"

"We completely misunderstood her! She's incredibly amazing! So strong!!!"

The fleet's ship girls screamed loudly, as if witnessing a legendary ship girl, and their shouts rose like waves.

The admirals stared wide-eyed, each trying to decipher the ship girls' words, and for a moment, none of them dared to utter a sound.

On the entire beach, the rescued battleship girl, looking like she was about to cry but had no tears, raised her hands high, waving them away with extreme guilt and shouting, "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me."

However, the voices were powerlessly drowned out by the loud shouts of the ship girls, who had transformed into fervent fans.

All that remained was a gesture that seemed to be a wave, which was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the admirals.

The new ship girl, burdened with countless frustrations, was once again surrounded by people. One by one, the ship girls begged to pay her a visit. Before long, hundreds of small hands grabbed her and lifted her high into the air. Amidst a lively and boisterous atmosphere, the ship girl, whose eyes were already swirling with dizziness, was carried away from the beach by the admirals, who also felt they had witnessed a miracle. They headed towards the Admirals' Guild in the city.

As the crowd departed, the joyous shouts gradually faded, becoming softer and fainter.

The beach gradually quieted down.

The monotonous sound of waves crashing against the beach, accompanied by the sea breeze, once again became the only melody on the sand.

"Wow————"

"Wow————"

"Splash splash ...

Just as the beach finally quieted down, a wet white figure rolled ashore from a wave that had crashed on the shore.

The white figure climbed ashore.

A little petite.

Somewhat embarrassed.

This is in stark contrast to the new ship girl from before.

"Ouch cough cough cough cough cough————"

"Cough cough cough cough————"

The white figure wiped its mouth with its wet sleeve.

"Ha ha……"

"A chirp!"

"..."

"……well……"

"They're finally gone..."

Chapter 1059 Making a Fool

After climbing onto the beach, Xiaobai, while wringing her water-squeaking hair and sniffing her bright red nose, slipped into the ship girl canteen at the very back of the beach.

After finding a spacious spot in the deserted ship girl cafeteria, Xiaobai took off her clothes, which were soaked from head to toe, deactivated the color-changing function of Deep Sea Will, turning her black hair back to white, and then took out a towel from her ship equipment space to carefully wipe the seawater off her body.

Xiao Bai wiped the seawater off her arms.

As I wiped and wiped...

Xiao Bai sighed regretfully, feeling quite disappointed.

"...The chance to show off...was given to someone else..."

Standing in the ship girl cafeteria, Shiro looked down at her clothes, which were soaked to the bone, and murmured a little aggrievedly.

In many novels, authors often depict the scene of a hero's triumphant return, with an entire city covered in roses and wine. Then, amidst the crimson hue symbolizing life and victory, and under the reverent gaze of the crowd, the victorious hero, surrounded by his followers, returns home bathed in wine and rose petals.

The scene was absolutely magnificent.

That was magnificent.

However...

In reality, the triumphant return of heroes is rarely so idealistic.
