Elder brother's garrison

Page 256

I am, after all, the Dean of the Deep Sea Academy.

The most supreme creature that rules over the vast deep sea, a woman standing on the throne of the ocean!

These scumbags actually dared to show me their cannons?

A stunning blue light shone from Pachina's eyes.

Waves of cold air surged out from her body, instantly freezing the sea in front of her.

Just as the earth gained a spirit and knew how to directly mold buildings from clay, with a rumbling sound, a white and blue crystal ship, two stories high, broke through the sand from the ground beneath Patchina's feet.

The massive, dark turrets, the beast bones burning with blue flames, the airport runway expanding recklessly outwards, and the white-haired girl standing on the beast bones created a scene that every ship girl present would never forget.

"Are you ready to face my wrath?" Atop the beast bones, the white-haired girl raised her proud, delicate chin, her icy pupils filled with murderous intent and chilling coldness. "My people?"

Chapter 323 Yes, I'm sorry! Your cheat program subscription has not been renewed!

Ship girls can sense each other. High-level ship girls can easily sense the strength of low-level ship girls, but low-level ship girls have difficulty clearly sensing the status of high-level ship girls.

Cleveland had a vague idea that Veneto was strong, but didn't know exactly how strong he was, and that's why.

The situation with Pachina is different.

She's furious right now, so angry she could practically grill a fish on her head, and she has no time to hide her temper.

Moreover, she is from the Deep Sea, and the essence of the Deep Sea is arrogance. Although she won't get cocky for no reason, she will never hold back when it's time to show her skills.

That's why all the ship girls present looked at Pachina, who was standing in the middle of the beach, as if she were a monster, and didn't even dare to breathe.

The massive, mountain-like crystal ship rigging, with its rows of azure cannons and interconnected airport runways, stretched out in all directions like wings. The blue mist surrounding Pachina slowly connected with the ship rigging beneath it, exuding an aura of a primordial behemoth.

—Is this a ship girl?

All the ship girls present couldn't help but wonder the same thing.

Is this the kind of presence and demeanor a ship girl should have?

Even the largest ship equipment for a ship girl wouldn't be this big, right?

Fuck you, this isn't a ship girl, this is an alien!

The barrage of cannon fire gradually subsided, and the deep-sea amphibious ships that had been neatly navigating the sea before them slowly ceased their movements, gazing in this direction like pieces of floating scrap metal.

"Sister! Sister!" The four Fubuki sisters, who were hunting on the high seas, quickly sensed the presence of Pachina and the movements of the deep-sea amphibious ships. Shirayuki called out to Fubuki, "Look at the shore."

"Hmm?" Fubuki glanced at the shore out of the corner of her eye. "Oh! Isn't that... she has ship equipment again!"

That glance almost scared Fubuki out of her wits.

This thing is huge, but it's a land-based shipboard system.

Destroyers are most afraid of land-based infrastructure.

After all, destroyers can compete with any type of ship, but they can't compete with aircraft carriers or land-based vessels. They might have a chance of winning against an aircraft carrier, but they are really helpless against land-based vessels.

Land-based ships are immune to torpedoes, and destroyers have absolutely no way to deal with them.

More importantly, the ship is being operated by Pachina, the current head of the Deep Sea. If Pachina were to cause any minor damage to Fubuki and the others at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Sister, that's not Abyssal Ship Equipment, that's the Admiral's!" Bai Xue was still observant. She sensed it carefully and found that there was no Abyssal Resentment at all on the ship equipment under Pachina's feet before she spoke to Fubuki.

"Is it the Admiral's?" Fubuki felt a little relieved after hearing this.

"Anyway, let's go back first." Shirayuki looked at the Pachina on the beach, and even though she knew it was friendly force, she was still terrified. She suggested to Fubuki.

Fubuki nodded, and the four destroyers then left the area full of Abyssal Fleet ships, meandering towards the beach.

The ship girls on the beach were still staring blankly at Pachina.

When anyone encounters something they've never seen before, they instinctively try to understand its existence, and these ship girls are doing just that.

What exactly is this enormous thing?

Not only the ship girls on the beach, but also the deep-sea ships in the ocean are now in chaos.

The lower-level deep-sea amphibious ships are under the command of the higher-level deep-sea amphibious ships. These deep-sea amphibious ships approaching the coast are directly under the command of the only deep-sea dean in the first sea area, which is the super-sized mechanical whale. However, now, this strict command network has been broken.

The being standing on the beach atop the massive ship's rigging, though lacking the aura of its kind, possessed immense spiritual power at the level of a Deep Sea Dean, thus also having the authority to command Deep Sea Abominations.

This is why, when the deep-sea amphibious ships encountered two superiors of equal rank who could command them, they were momentarily at a loss as to whose orders to take.

The deep-sea amphibious ships were thus rendered inoperable.

So these deep-sea amphibious ships just floated on the surface of the sea without any reaction.

Standing atop the land-based ship's equipment, Pachina remained silent after uttering that incredibly chuunibyou-esque statement, watching the Abyssal Fleet in front of her and the four members of the Fubuki group who slipped away from it.

Pachina, as the director of the Deep Sea Command, naturally knew why the Deep Sea Fleet had stopped fighting. This was also why Pachina had always advocated the policy of "two tigers cannot share one mountain," since no one wanted their soldiers to suddenly desert when they were leading the troops into battle.

However, Pachina cannot keep the Abyssal Fleeters in place for too long. As time goes by, the Abyssal Fleeters, wavering between their two superiors, will gradually realize that the ship equipment Pachina wears is "ship girl ship equipment" rather than "Abyssal Dean ship equipment," thus breaking free from her control.

—At this point, some people might be wondering.

So why hasn't Pachina taken any action yet?

If this is just posing, isn't this taking a little too long?

That's very well said.

Not only the ship girls present, but also the admirals watching from afar shared this thought.

Pachina's reason for not taking action was naturally not because she was concerned about any deep-sea brotherhood—deep-sea ships don't have such a thing—nor was it because she was magnanimous enough to disregard the fact that these deep-sea ships had previously severely injured her.

In fact, just a second before deploying her ship's equipment, Ms. Pachina was thinking about how to crush the scrap metal in front of her one by one with her turrets, and then bomb the scrap metal into dust inch by inch with her aircraft.

As for why she didn't take action, it was for a rather practical reason.

This ship equipment, which Xiaobai just obtained, was snatched from the hands of a former dean who had died in an air-raid shelter in Yuxiu twenty years ago. After snatching it, it remained in Xiaobai's admiral network without being touched. It was only occasionally summoned for others to see when they wanted to, and then taken back.

After Pachina deployed its ship equipment, preparing for a brutal massacre, she clearly realized this.

—The ship's equipment contained no fuel or ammunition.

This situation is really awkward.

Pachina secretly clicked her tongue, then turned around and glared at the ship girls behind her several times: "What are you standing there for!"

The ship girl, who had been stared at by her, finally came to her senses and quickly aimed her turret at the deep-sea amphibious ship on the sea.

Because the deep-sea amphibious ship was out of service, it did not attempt to escape even when targeted.

The thunderous salvo was relentless, with every single shot hitting its mark and creating bursts of crimson fire on the surface of the deep-sea amphibious ships.

At least the Abyssal Fleet wouldn't attack anymore. Seeing that the battle situation had stabilized, the ship girls' expressions towards Pachina began to soften.

Could it be... that this ship girl is something like a totem? She has no offensive capabilities?

That makes sense.

If there were truly ship girls in the world who had no real fighting power and existed only as symbols, then this one in front of us might just be one of them.

On the road in the distance, Xiaobai and Sukhbaatar clung to the railing, gazing towards the beach and the sea.

"Little girl, you... forgot to refuel?" Sukhbaatar looked at Xiaobai with suspicion.

"Uh." Xiaobai covered her mouth, looking embarrassed.

She only just realized that replenishing ship equipment was something only ship girls did; Shiro was a human, after all, and didn't have that kind of habit.

“That’s true.” Sukhbaatar looked at Xiaobai awkwardly. “But it’s alright. At least your ship equipment provides Pachina with a considerable amount of energy, allowing her to control the deep-sea amphibious ship in the water.”

"I'm sorry... I'll resupply as soon as I get back to the naval base..."

Seeing that the situation on the beach had stabilized again, Xiaobai and Sukhbaatar both breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down on the ground.

Xiaobai released the Admiral Network and attempted to reconnect with Veneto.

With two crackling sounds in his mind, Xiaobai finally reconnected with Veneto.

The first link is for hearing.

"Boom!" The moment the connection was established with Veneto, Xiaobai heard two loud explosions right next to his ears.

The sudden, explosive sound made Xiaobai's eardrums ache.

"Admiral?" Veneto's concerned voice came through the phone. "Are you alright?"

"Well, it's okay."

"That's good. I was worried something had happened to you when the connection suddenly dropped," Veneto said with relief.

"Everything's fine here, Veneto, how's it going on your end?" Little White closed his eyes, waiting for the visual connection to resume.

The darkness gradually dissipated, like a mist slowly clearing away.

First, Xiaobai saw a vast black sea, and then he saw a towering, insurmountable golden mountain in front of him.

"Roar—" The Deep Sea Dean's piercing howl was like a needle stabbing into Little White's ears.

However, this time Xiaobai was prepared and was not deterred by the unpleasant voice.

"Veneto, how much longer?"

“I’m sorry, it will probably take a long time. This Deep Sea Dean is also a Lugi type,” Veneto replied apologetically. “It will be difficult to get close to it without clearing out the small fry around it.”

As he spoke, Veneto looked around and showed Xiaobai the surroundings through visual sharing.

On a small stretch of sea, countless shattered Abyssal Fleet ships lay scattered about, black oil and mangled limbs floating on the surface. The surviving Abyssal Fleet ships trampled over the bodies of their fallen comrades, their black steel gleaming with a cold red light, relentlessly closing in on Veneto and Enterprise.

It was a living, breathing scene of hell.

This scene was a bit too stimulating for Xiaobai, but she still took a deep breath.

"Can you go faster?" Xiaobai asked.

Pachina's control is time-limited. With only a dozen or so ship girls remaining on the beach, it's impossible to deal with hundreds of Abyssal Fleet ships in a short time. If Veneto and the others can't resolve the situation before Pachina's control time ends, then Shiro and the admirals on the mainland will have no choice but to abandon the beach at the first node.

Chapter 324 Long time no see, you little bitches

"I will do my best." Veneto also roughly knew that the situation on the beach was not optimistic and that he urgently needed to end the battle here as soon as possible.

Veneto turned to look at his teammates.

Fighting hundreds of deep-sea amphibious ships right under the nose of the Deep Sea Dean was extremely tense and fierce. One's mind was on high alert almost every moment. Veneto and Enterprise were doing well, but Rome was already showing signs of running out of steam.

Even more serious are Cleveland and Glorious. These two ship girls have the lowest training level among the five. By now, the damage to their ship equipment has accumulated to a certain extent, making it difficult for them to engage in high-intensity combat.

The little white thing that Veneto saw also saw it.

Xiao Bai saw the state of Cleveland and Glory and understood that the battle with Dean Deepsea was not something that could be resolved in a short time.

Without cleaning up those deep-sea minions, Veneto and her team wouldn't even be able to get close, let alone sink the new director.

However, there are simply too many small fish in the deep sea, and it's not something a company can clean up in a short time.

The most difficult part of the battle against the Deep Sea Dean is often not the Deep Sea Dean himself, but the small fry he controls.

Xiaobai could only disconnect Veneto's link.

"How is it over there?" Sukhbaatar asked hurriedly as he saw Xiaobai open her eyes.

“Veneto said it will take a long time.” Xiaobai said as he stood up and looked out to sea. “I wonder how much longer we can hold out on the beach…”

The deep-sea ships on the sea surface have become like wooden stakes because of Pachina's presence, and they are being sunk one by one by the ship girls on the beach.

However, just like the problem Veneto encountered, there were too many deep-sea minions attacking the beach. With such overwhelming numbers, even if the deep-sea minions stood still and let the dozen or so ship girls on the beach attack them, it would be impossible to clear them out in a short time.

Pachina, standing on the ship's equipment, tensed up and looked out at the sea.

Some deep-sea amphibious ships have begun to slowly slip out of their control.

"Tsk." Pachina knew that this was the consequence of the deep-sea ships slowly realizing that she was not a "deep-sea" but a "ship girl".

Furthermore, by allowing the surrounding ship girls to attack the Abyssal Fleet, the Abyssal Fleet realized this point even faster.

Control is about to end.

The deep-sea amphibious ship's reaction was also seen by the ship girls on the beach and Sukhbaatar, and everyone's hearts sank.

As expected, even without offensive means, Pachina can only alleviate immediate problems and cannot solve the most fundamental issues.

"Waaaaah, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry!" Sukhbaatar covered his head and squatted on the ground, looking grief-stricken.

Without sufficient anger, Sukhbaatar couldn't unleash the same power he had previously used to utterly defeat Pachina. But anger is not something that can be easily controlled; Sukhbaatar simply couldn't muster that much rage right now.

Of course, if the deep sea were to come ashore and wreak havoc on the First Sea Area, Sukhbaatar might be able to transform, but by then it wouldn't make any sense.

Xiao Bai also covered his head and squatted down next to Sukhbaatar.
