Elder brother's garrison

"Are you calling me?!"

Just then, Xiaobai suddenly popped out from behind Bai Ying, staring at her with bright, shining eyes.

"Wow!!!"

Bai Ying's tears were startled back by the sudden appearance of Xiao Bai. She jumped up from the ground, clutching her stomach in terror and taking several steps back, stammering, "You...you...you..."

"Hehehe... I felt really bad for staying in the same spot... After all, I'm the one who broke the military knife... Uh, so, so I was thinking of trying to keep up with you as little as possible without disturbing you..." Xiao Bai's body was hanging in mid-air next to where Bai Ying had just been. She smiled at Bai Ying as she scrambled up the steel plate from the other end. Xiao Bai patted her clothes, then looked at Bai Ying sitting not far away, clutching her stomach with red eyes, and her eyebrows twitched slightly. "Um... because Bai Ying, you seemed to have called for someone earlier. Did my coming out this time bother you?"

"Idiot! You idiot! Why did you follow me here..."

"Hahaha, it's alright, it's alright!" Xiao Bai waved gently at Bai Ying, walked up to her, squatted down, and reached out to touch her stomach. "Are you hurt? Is it serious?"

"You, you mustn't touch me!"

"Huh? But Bai Ying, you were crying from the pain just now. That must have hurt so much. I remember when I was little, I once pricked my foot with a nail, and I didn't cry as much as you. Come here, I remember my mom told me this: 'Let me see if it's bleeding. If it's not bleeding, I'll rub it for you, and it won't hurt anymore after that...'"

"Snapped!"

Bai Ying blushed and slapped down hard the hand that Xiao Bai had reached out to her stomach.

"I'm not crying!"

"Hey—but you clearly..."

"Shut up!"

"Hmm." Xiaobai covered her mouth, looking at Bai Ying with a helpless expression, like looking at a willful child throwing a tantrum, which made Bai Ying feel even worse.

"You! You're so annoying!!" Bai Ying, her face flushed red, bent over and shouted at Xiao Bai, "This isn't the time for this! Seriously! Why? The situation is clearly tense!! But whether it was just now or now, why don't you feel any tension at all! There are clearly enemies over there!!!"

After venting her anger, Bai Ying lowered her head and breathed heavily.

It's a bit strange to say.

I was feeling like my stomach was killing me just a moment ago.

But ever since Xiao Bai appeared, Bai Ying felt that her heart was beating nonstop, rather than her stomach aches.

"..." Xiaobai remained silent for a long time.

Bai Ying raised her head.

Xiao Bai was covering her mouth with both hands, with a peaceful smile on her face.

"...Why don't you speak?"

"Hmm?" Xiaobai removed her hands from her mouth. "Can I speak now?"

"..."

"Hehehe..." Xiao Bai grinned foolishly at Bai Ying, "That... what I just said was really too much, even I get nervous..."

In Bai Ying's field of vision.

Xiao Bai reached out and gently rubbed Bai Ying's head.

"it does not matter."

"You've done a great job."

"Leave the rest to me." Xiao Bai laughed, looking at Bai Ying's blank stare, and patted his perfectly flat biceps. "I'm super awesome!"

Chapter 1165 You Might Back Down After This Slap

Although Bai Ying had been somewhat aware that "Xiao Bai might be a little stronger than herself" ever since she learned Xiao Bai's identity, she still didn't think that Xiao Bai could be of any help to her.

Really.

Not even a tiny bit.

This isn't Bai Ying being stubborn.

It's not that Bai Ying has a prejudice against Xiao Bai.

This idea was actually just a normal conclusion that Bai Ying came to after spending some time with Xiao Bai.

After all, Xiaobai's daily life was indeed too normal, and he had no sense of self-awareness as a peerless master.

As an elderly person, Bai Ying would not make a judgment blinded by data. Although Xiao Bai may have artillery capabilities far superior to her own and defensive strength far exceeding her own, in battle, the factors that determine victory are far more numerous than just one's basic attributes.

Bai Ying has always maintained a distrustful attitude towards Xiao Bai's fighting ability.

That remains true even now.

Just as Bai Ying was being knocked back by the Black Deep Sea Yamato and was paralyzed by the pain in her lower abdomen next to the black whale's body.

Little White appeared.

Bai Ying was so frightened that she almost blurted out a curse.

In Bai Ying's view, Xiao Bai's appearance was not like a rescuer coming to the rescue, but rather more like a useless teammate who was eager to kill the enemy and sent them to their deaths.

Bai Ying really wanted to shout at Xiao Bai to tell her that the enemy she was facing was very powerful and that her military knife was broken.

Our assessment of the enemy's strength is seriously flawed, and we are currently at an informational disadvantage. Therefore, our primary strategy should be a strategic retreat, followed by a renewed investigation of the enemy's information before launching a counterattack. We must not rashly engage the enemy in a bloodbath while we are at an informational disadvantage.

Bai Ying felt both ashamed and angry at Xiao Bai.

I hate that iron cannot become steel.

It's almost as if they're about to shout, "Why aren't you supporting your cuteness from behind? What are you doing running to the front lines?"

However, just as Bai Ying was about to blurt out those words...

A pair of small, warm hands covered her head.

Xiao Bai was stroking Bai Ying's head, smiling, and gently rubbing her head.

do not know why.

Ever since Xiaobai touched Bai Ying's head.

For a moment, it seemed as if all the surrounding noise had been dispelled.

Bai Ying couldn't utter a single word.

Her eyes were filled with Xiaobai's inexplicably reassuring smile.

The head patting ended.

Bai Ying sat on the iron plate, staring blankly as Xiao Bai withdrew her hand.

Xiao Bai turned around and stood in front of Bai Ying, looking at the enemy who hadn't made a move.

The wind is blowing wildly.

Body shape is all about comparison.

In Bai Ying's eyes, Xiao Bai's figure inexplicably began to appear majestic.

Bai Ying's consciousness was somewhat hazy.

Suddenly, a tremor came from above the black whale's head, and the ground began to tilt.

Bai Ying snapped out of her daze and quickly grabbed the iron plate beside her.

—That consciousness, which seemed to have been anesthetized, gradually became clearer.

what.

Suffered.

Is this person really going to take his place and fight the Deep Sea Yamato to the death?

Can not be done!

After regaining her senses, Bai Ying realized that she had just tacitly agreed to let Xiao Bai go out to face the enemy. She was so frightened that she quickly reached out her hand to Xiao Bai.

"No! Go back quickly..."

"call----"

The gale began to rage once more.

Bai Ying shouted, but her words were cut short.

Bai Ying's outstretched hand trembled slightly, then stopped in mid-air and subconsciously withdrew.

Just a moment after the wind picked up.

Xiao Bai, who had previously seemed as innocent and naive as a girl next door, suddenly exuded an aura of inexplicable coldness and sharpness.

Ship girls are always quite sensitive to the aura of living beings. The original Xiaobai had no aura at all. If we were to make an analogy, the previous Xiaobai was like a lump of kneaded, fermented white dough, flat and soft. But now, the aura of Xiaobai is like a series of cold and sharp steel needles that suddenly stand up from the white dough, piercing people's eyes.

Bai Ying stared blankly at Xiao Bai's back, which seemed to have suddenly become a different person, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

"Roar"

Just then, the gale began to rage for the third time.

The ground began to shake.

Bai Ying quickly reached out to steady herself, then peered down at the ground beneath her.

really.

The previous ground tremors were all caused by the black whale itself.

After the black whale openly ambushed the indecisive purple whale with its main cannon, blasting it away with a single shot, it managed to get rid of this troublesome enemy for a short time. It raised its head high and let out a joyful cry.

Without the purple whale pulling and disturbing it, the black whale focused its energy back on the uninvited guests on its forehead who were trying to harm its main body.

The black whale thrashed its head across the surface of the sea, slamming it against the water repeatedly, attempting to use the twisting force of its body to fling the person on its forehead back into the sea.

The waves rise and fall.

Suddenly, it felt as if an earthquake had struck the black whale's head, and the world began to spin.

Because Bai Ying was sitting on the ground and there was a steel plate nearby to grab onto, she managed to avoid being thrown off her head by the black whale while the world was spinning around her.

After struggling to steady herself, Bai Ying looked at Xiao Bai in front of her with some difficulty and concern.

Despite the black whale's struggles, Xiaobai stood firmly on its body with her knees slightly bent, undisturbed. Her long hair swung in the air like a silver ribbon amidst the whale's violent shaking.

It seemed to sense the gaze coming from behind.

Xiao Bai turned around and glanced at Bai Ying lightly.

When Xiaobai turned around, the gentle and tranquil look in her eyes was now filled with a sharpness that didn't match her fair complexion, as if she were a different person.

Seeing Bai Ying lying on the ground, gripping the iron plate with both hands to avoid falling off the mechanical whale's body, Xiao Bai's lips curled up slightly, and she gave a light smile to the somewhat disheveled Bai Ying.

Little White raised one hand.

"Okay."

Under Bai Ying's gaze, Xiao Bai gently snapped her fingers, producing a crisp and clear snap.

The crisp snap of fingers, with a slight echo, drowned out all other sounds on the sea.

For a fleeting moment, a snap of fingers was heard, and the black whale paused its churning motion. Its massive tail slowly slapped back onto the surface of the water as it looked around.

The waters of the mysterious waters are incredibly calm.

"boom"

In the next instant, several condensed, dark water whips roared out of the calm sea. The huge water whips were like the giant tentacles of an octopus, carrying strong force as they coiled towards the black whale on the surface of the water.

"Roar!!"

The black whale let out a startled cry, quite human-like. Then, it fiercely swung its tail, lashing out at the black water whips that were trying to entangle it.

The booming explosions splashed continuously across the water.

Whenever the black whale's massive tail touched the water whip, the tail would simply lash across the water as if it were hitting an ordinary stream, completely unable to stop the black water whip from wrapping around its ship's equipment.

Amidst the roar of the black whale.

Numerous black water whips coiled towards the black whale.

The tentacles of the black whale, which felt like normal water flow to the touch, were surprisingly tough and powerful when they restrained the black whale. At first, the black whale could resist a little under the restraint of a few water whips, but as the number of black water whips increased, they quickly covered the black whale's body one by one. No matter how hard it struggled, it could only let out a weak roar as it was lifted alive from the sea surface by the numerous water whip tentacles.

"Roar"

Even after being lifted high into the air, the black mechanical whale still twisted its body in defiance, its huge mouth agape as it roared incessantly.
