Elder brother's garrison

"Then... after a long, intense, and protracted battle, according to the descriptions of the high-ranking ship girls present, after what could be described as a hellish battle that seemed to drain them dry, those ship girls who were affected couldn't hold on and lost."

"...They...they lost?" Xiaobai immediately tensed up. "Uh...they...they didn't beat those White Deep Sea Deans?"

"We didn't fight them. The ship girls said that this time the white Abyssal leaders were like they were under the command of a real Abyssal leader. Their coordination was tight, their firepower was overwhelming, and their tactical combinations were comparable to those of human admirals. They were so much stronger. In addition, their numbers far outnumbered the ship girls, so it was no wonder that the ship girls were eventually exhausted and defeated."

"Huh?! So, they lost to the Abyssal Deans. Aren't those ship girls...aren't they in danger...?"

"Oh, no." Mu Yu replied immediately. "Although the ship girls were defeated, those white abyssal deans not only did not continue to harm them, but even cleaned up the ship girls who were battered, ragged, and unconscious, placing them neatly on rows of ship equipment plates, planting small white flags on each one, and then sending them back to the sea area near the beach."

???

Xiao Bai stared wide-eyed, looking puzzled.

Mu Yu's face was miserable, and he kept shaking his head and sighing.

"Uh... this... isn't this a good thing?" After confirming that Mu Yu wasn't joking, Xiao Bai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Great.

Although I don't know what happened to Yamato-neechan.

But at least Yamato is still the same Yamato that Shiro knows—the proud yet gentle Yamato.

"Of course it's not a good thing!" Mu Yu shook her head. "This is like killing someone's spirit! Most of the ship girls who were sent back have suffered extremely fatal blows to their hearts!"

"...??"

"Little White Sister, do you know that the Deep Sea Dean is proficient in the most advanced mental attack methods? After defeating the ship girls, she actually... attacked, robbed them!"

"..."

"After that Deep Sea Dean destroyed the ship girls' equipment, he stole everything valuable or worthless from their equipment storage space. Even some of the ship girls' precious jewelry wasn't spared. When I said the ship girls were completely wiped out... I meant they were completely robbed!" Mu Yu stamped her foot in anguish. "Little White, you be the judge! Imagine a powerful Deep Sea Dean toying with the ship girls like puppies, dragging out a battle that could have been resolved in minutes for an entire morning. After draining the ship girls of their energy during the battle, he heartlessly robbed them of all their valuables... If this gets out on the beach and the other ship girls find out... how serious will the consequences be!"

Mu Yu looked at Xiao Bai and kept waving her hands.

"Little White Sister...this time, the enemy is truly incredibly vicious!!"

Chapter 1182 First Stage of Power Accumulation Preparation

“…Uh.” Xiaobai lowered his head, staring at the documents in his hand.

The information in Xiaobai's hands describes the appearance of the event boss. The testimonies of the admirals who encountered the event boss all contain words such as "wearing purple armor, standing on black whales, with long white hair, and possessing extremely high intelligence and wisdom."

No matter how you look at it.

This is all because the bracelet that serves as the ship's aura shield broke, forcing them to stop at sea and wait for the Yamato sister they were rushing to finish.

This incident shocked Xiaobai.

Yamato-neechan... how did she suddenly end up cosplaying as the event boss on the sea...?

However, this style suits her quite well.

"Um, although the event boss didn't harm anyone this time, does that mean... it will severely damage the morale of the ship girls participating in the event?"

Xiao Bai put down the documents in her hand, looked up at Mu Yu, and asked.

"That's it."

Mu Yu nodded and sighed deeply, "Little Bai, you have to understand that for this kind of strange deep-sea dean who lurks on the sea surface, has not invaded the land since she appeared, is incredibly powerful, and whose danger is only directed at robbing ship girls, most of the ship girls in this sea area simply cannot find a reason to fight her."

"Uh... can't find it?"

"Let me put it this way," Mu Yu said, shrugging at Xiao Bai, "You see, the ship girls fought against the Abyssal Fleet to protect humanity, right?"

"Ah."

"Little White Sister, do you think that if the boss of this event is an evil and cruel Abyssal Dean who is extremely aggressive towards land, even if the admirals and ship girls in Chapters 6 and 7 can't defeat her, they would run away?"

"..." Xiaobai shook his head.

The job of the admiral and the ship girls is, in essence, to protect the land and humanity. This is both an obligation and a responsibility. Even if there is no way to retreat to the land behind them, no matter how terrifying the abyssal ships in front of them are, the ship girls and the admiral will not back down.

The fear of death cannot scare away all the ship girls.

This is why admirals and ship girls always enjoy the most abundant resources in the world.

Because they deserve it.

“Right, if the enemy is the Deep Sea Dean who truly poses a great threat to the land, the ship girls will not retreat no matter how dire the situation.” Mu Yu sighed. “But the problem is that this Deep Sea Dean has not harmed anyone’s life since she appeared. And until now, she has only been frantically searching for lone ship girl teams on the sea and then inhumanely killing them all.”

"..." Xiaobai gave a wry smile with a subtle feeling, "So, in the eyes of the ship girls, this deep-sea boss poses a very, very low threat to the land?"

"That's right. After all, this Deep Sea Dean is so strange that he doesn't take the cities in front of him seriously at all. Instead, he focuses on ganking the ship girls on the surface of the sea. For this kind of enemy with such inexplicable nature, 90% of the ship girls who are not top-notch in strength would rather avoid it than eliminate it, so they would completely give up going to war during the event."

"Uh, abandoning the expedition... is the problem that serious?"

"This is a huge problem!" Seeing that Xiaobai seemed to finally have a basic understanding of the current situation, Muyu's face immediately fell. "It's because of the sudden appearance of this deep-sea boss that most of the ship girls in the sixth chapter's sea area are afraid to go to sea! Damn it! The event isn't over yet, and the white deep-sea deans in the sea area haven't been cleared out. If everyone suddenly goes on strike, who can handle it? Leaving those white deep-sea deans unattended will cause a major disaster. And who knows when that deep-sea boss, who seems to only target ship girls, will suddenly have a change of heart and want to try something different? We really can't leave her alone. So, Xiaobai, you have to help us! We desperately need the help of your super ship girls in the naval base!"

At this point, Mu Yu seemed about to pounce on Xiao Bai's thigh again, which would be quite embarrassing.

However, Xiaobai noticed Mu Yu's actions and quickly grabbed the arm of the guild leader Er Gou and hid behind him.

"..." After hiding behind President Er Gou, Xiao Bai sighed softly.

makes sense.

After Mu Yu's explanation, Xiao Bai began to understand the thoughts of the ship girls who had been robbed.

In the centuries-long battle between ship girls and deep-sea ships, although ship girls have taken on the most dangerous battles for humanity, they are ultimately just a group of pure-hearted girls.

For a group of pure-hearted girls like this, shame is, in a sense, a matter of life and death. Although Yamato won't endanger the ship girls' lives, any ship girl who falls into Yamato's hands will ultimately suffer the consequence of being stripped naked and sent back to shore after being venerated by all the heroes on the shore, resulting in social death.

Admittedly, if Yamato is truly an evil deep-sea boss who has committed countless atrocities and caused immense harm to humanity, and must be eradicated immediately, then losing the battle is at least a free escape from death, which is actually acceptable for the ship girls.

However, the problem is that this time, the deep-sea boss, Yamato, is not a dangerous one that the ship girls are willing to risk so much to deal with, and is also an exceptionally powerful three-light deep-sea dean.

They are not even within the scope of duties that ship girls and admirals must handle.

Few ship girls would choose to cause trouble for the Deepsea Dean, whose defeat would mean certain death and social annihilation, unless they were absolutely certain of victory.

Honestly, if Xiaobai were one of those ship girls, she would also choose not to go into battle in this situation. She would let someone taller take the blame and shift the responsibility to others.

"Yes, I understand the logic. But speaking of which, why didn't you use the previous method of issuing guaranteed missions via text message to force the ship girls to continue their expeditions?" Xiaobai asked Muyu.

"Little White Sister, even we wouldn't actually order the ship girls to be sent to their deaths. We carefully calculated the previous guaranteed missions and concluded that our admirals' strength was more than enough to handle them before issuing the guaranteed missions... As for the event's final boss, it's actually like an extra EX stage... If we were to arbitrarily force admirals to go into battle, even we would find it difficult to do so..."

Mu Yu's face was contorted with embarrassment, indicating that she was feeling very uncomfortable.

Xiao Bai nodded and looked at the dozen or so white-bearded old men at the back of the hall, who were now red-faced and cursing each other.

Xiao Bai subtly began to understand why these old men had been discussing this for so long.

"Then, Little White, are you still going to help her or not..." Mu Yu looked at Little White with hopeful eyes, "You are our only hope!"

“…Ha.” Xiaobai sighed and handed the neatly folded documents back to Mu Yu. “Yes, I will go to war.”

"Little White Sister, are you telling the truth?!" Mu Yu's old face suddenly lit up like a blooming flower.

"I wouldn't joke around at a time like this..." Xiaobai muttered.

From a subjective point of view, Xiaobai really wants to find a reason to refuse Mu Yu, that traitor, and make him angry.

But there's really no other way. The ultimate boss of the deep sea this time is most likely to be Yamato, one of our own deep-sea creatures. So, Xiaobai really has to go to the surface of the sea to find Yamato.

From this perspective, Mu Yu's timely updates seem to have really helped him.

Of course.

It's impossible to express gratitude.

I'll never be able to thank them in this lifetime.

but.

Xiao Bai touched his phone through his clothes.

Let's remove Mu Yu's phone number from the phone's blacklist later.

"Oh, by the way, Little White, the military police and Governor Ringo are probably organizing discipline on the beach right now. You should be able to see them when you get there," Mu Yu said to Little White.

"Oh? Sister Ringo and Sister Duan?" Xiaobai was slightly surprised. "Yes, I see."

With Governor Lin Qin and Captain Duan Shuiliu of the Military Police present, they should be able to avoid a lot of trouble. In a sense, this is good news for Xiao Bai.

"So, Little White, when are you planning to set off?"

"...Well, speaking of which, quite a few people probably already know about this, right?"

"Is such that."

"So... how many ship girls were affected?"

"There are so many that if the ship girls who were sent back were laid out on the beach, it would look like they were visiting the filming set of an epic 18+ movie."

Xiao Bai quickly covered her mouth, remained silent, and her face flushed slightly.

Standing next to Xiaobai, President Ergou's forehead bulged with a vein, and she slapped Mu Yu hard on the head with a loud crack.

"You brat, what kind of dirty jokes are you telling to minors?!" President Er Gou roared in fury.

“No, it’s alright. Governor Ringo and Xiao Duan are there now, so the scene will definitely be complete and suitable for all ages. Little Bai, you can go there now without any problem!” Mu Yu quickly explained. “Then, Little Bai and Auntie… when are you planning to go…”

"Anyway, I want to go back to the courtyard first and bring a few ship girls..." Xiaobai murmured.

If the final boss of the Deep Sea is indeed Yamato, then in order to bring Yamato back, Shiro has no choice but to bring Akashi's ship-mounted shielding device with him.

Just as she was leaving, Akashi told Shiro that she would finish the work soon.

I don't know if I can make it back in time if I go back and wait a little while.

"Yeah, I get it, I get it. Sharpening your axe won't delay your work!" Mu Yu gave a thumbs up.

"..." Xiaobai nodded.

That makes sense. Mu Yu is right. Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting.

Now that you mention it, waiting a few hours at Akashi's place before going there seems like a good idea...

"Snapped!"

Just as Xiaobai was pondering this, from the back of the second-floor hall, a series of crashing sounds of tables being overturned and chairs being smashed came over, followed by the shouts and curses of a dozen or so old men who had started boxing.

"I already told you! That ship is definitely a Deep Sea Yamato!!!"

"Didn't you wipe your reading glasses before you left this morning?! How could a director of such a prestigious deep-sea institute as Deep Sea Yamato end up here?!"

"Go to hell with you, you Yun Admiral!"

"You're kidding me! I'll punch your head off!"

“...峮磷一qiIV捂咎司岜”

Surrounded by more than ten governors who raised their hands in cheers, the two white-bearded old men started punching each other.

Punch to the flesh.

Tiger and tiger make wind.

Every day, he faces his opponent directly.

The monkey steals peaches.

This posture doesn't look like that of an elderly person practicing Tai Chi at all.

It looked more like a street brawl between thugs.

"……"noob.

These old men are definitely not to be trifled with.

You guessed Yamato's ship name so quickly.

Xiao Bai felt that he should definitely speed things up a bit more.

Chapter 1183 I Like Yamato-neechan

Towards the afternoon.

When Xiaobai, along with Guild Master Ergou and several ship girls, hurriedly arrived at the beach from the courtyard, the beach was already crowded with a large number of admirals and ship girls.

Xiao Bai's gaze swept briefly across the crowded beach before finally settling on Duan Shuiliu, who was wearing a yellow helmet and solemnly waving a small flag, maintaining basic coastal order amidst the clamor of people.

"Sister Duan!" Xiaobai waved and greeted Duan Shuiliu from afar.

Duan Shuiliu paused in waving the small flag, turned her head to look at Xiaobai who was walking towards her, and her emotionless eyes softened slightly.

Duan Shuiliu had just opened his mouth to greet Xiaobai when his gaze unconsciously shifted to President Er Gou next to Xiaobai.
