Elder brother's garrison

Page 779

Bombs were dropped from the sky of carrier-based aircraft as if they were free, mingling with the hail of bullets in mid-air, and hitting the sea surface where the Deep Sea Dean was located with unparalleled accuracy, along with burning shells.

An even more rapid and explosive explosion rose from the water's surface once more, the waves churned and shattered, and blue flames stained with black oil fell low, scattering under the pressure of the explosion.

At the very center of the storm, the greyish-white body of the Deep Sea Dean was exposed to Bai Ying's unrestrained and brutal bombardment. As countless shells and bombs rushed in, the flames gradually engulfed her figure, leaving only a blurry human shape.

A crisp sound, like popping popcorn, rang out from time to time in the flames. The ship equipment on the Deep Sea Dean's body shattered inch by inch, and pieces of it flew off from the raging flames.

"...seven, eight, nine...ten."

In front of Xiaobai, Bai Ying, inside the ship's rig, was controlling the rig while murmuring softly.

As soon as the ten seconds were up, the expanding and elongating runway and cannons behind Bai Ying came to an abrupt halt, as if a pause button had been pressed.

Bai Ying slightly raised her hand.

Then, the blue carrier-based aircraft that filled the sky swarmed in and orderly flowed back into Bai Ying's ship rigging. As the carrier-based aircraft were recovered, the raging blue flames on the ship rigging gradually diminished until they were extinguished.

Bai Ying breathed a sigh of relief and retrieved her ship equipment in front of Xiao Bai.

The enemy was annihilated in ten seconds.

It left behind a devastated ocean that was still burning in flames.

Bai Ying turned around and looked at Xiao Bai, a small bamboo skewer that had previously held a grilled sausage in her mouth.

"It's done."

"Uh……"

"What's wrong?"

Bai Ying, with a bamboo skewer in her mouth, asked Xiao Bai curiously.

"..." Xiao Bai stared at Bai Ying, stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. "Bai Ying...you..."

Xiao Bai stammered for a long time, and the word "you" never came out.

Although Bai Ying now has an expression that says "It's all okay, you can ask now," Xiao Bai's head is already crammed with so many questions that she doesn't know which one to ask for the time being.

"Uh, well... anyway... I'll go check on Dean Shenhai over there first..." Xiaobai thought for a long time and decided it was better to check the situation on the battlefield first.

Under Bai Ying's watchful gaze, Xiao Bai splashed through the water and hurried towards the direction of the former Dean of the Deep Sea.

The sea was a mess, especially the area bombed by Bai Ying. The temperature was extremely high at this time. If an ordinary person stepped in at this time, their body would be steamed inside and out in an instant. Fortunately, Xiao Bai had ship equipment, so the temperature was only slightly hot for Xiao Bai.

In the central area bombed by Bai Ying, Xiao Bai found the ship wreckage of the Deep Sea Dean who had previously fired upon him.

The Deep Sea Dean's humanoid form had vanished, and pools of black oil lay scattered around the ship's wreckage, with bright blue flames burning fiercely on the oil.

—That Dean of the Deep Sea Academy is probably gone.

Xiao Bai gently touched the outer shell of the ship's wreckage with her finger.

The intense heat made Xiaobai instinctively pull his hand away, followed by a series of cracking sounds from the wreckage. Patches of the ship's hull peeled away, and the entire hull collapsed and shattered in an instant.

"……"noob.

A newly minted Deepsea Dean, whose appearance had fully evolved and who at the very least possessed the strength to easily defeat any Deepsea frigate, was thus utterly crushed on the surface of the sea by an "aircraft battleship" in the simplest and most brutal way possible, spectacularly and brutally blasted back to the very bottom of the Deepsea food chain pyramid.

This kind of firepower, where one person is equivalent to an entire army, is something that no aircraft battleship could ever possess...

It really is a roadbed, right?

I didn't mistake it, right? That's definitely a roadbed, isn't it? What a coincidence, you're a roadbed too!

Xiao Bai silently recited to himself, and rummaged through the wreckage of the Deep Sea Dean's ship equipment, finding a small piece of grayish-white deep-sea metal.

Xiao Bai held the deep-sea metal in his hand, looked at it from all sides, and felt its quality and texture.

When it comes to selecting the Dean's metal for the Deep Sea Dean, Xiaobai is incredibly experienced. It's estimated that none of the other Deep Sea Deans around her know as much as Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai examined the piece of deep-sea metal for a short while.

—The energy of this deep-sea metal is indeed a level higher than that of ordinary deep-sea metals that Xiaobai has seen before, reaching the level of the Dean's metal of the Deep Sea Dean.

However, even so, Xiaobai still felt that the deep-sea metal he had now, apart from being much smaller, seemed to be missing something compared to the real deep-sea dean metal.

Although Xiao Bai thought the piece of Deep-Sea Dean's Metal in his hand might be passable as a snack, compared to the dowries of the several high-level Deep-Sea Deans at home who possessed the most extraordinary talents in the world... this...

The quality is still not good.

Xiao Bai sighed helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Just as Xiaobai sighed, Bai Ying walked up to her. She turned to look at Xiaobai's worried expression. "...Are you mourning for that Dean of the Deep Sea? Sorry, I never hold back when I strike. I just saw her attack you..."

"No." Xiao Bai gave Bai Ying a wry smile. "I'm just curious why the Dean of the Deep Sea Academy was an exception when none of the Deep Sea Abominations attacked me before."

"..." Bai Ying looked at Xiao Bai, "The reason that Deep Sea Dean attacked you is probably because of the fragment of the military knife in your stomach. After all, the Deep Sea Deans are all quite sensitive."

"Ah, right... I see." Xiao Bai slapped his forehead helplessly, then handed the deep-sea metal in his hand to Bai Ying.

"Don't get too close to the Deepsea Ark, because of the saber, they'll treat you like an enemy." Bai Ying said, glancing sideways at the Deepsea metal Xiao Bai handed her. "By the way, this piece of Dean's metal isn't very high quality."

"Bai Ying, can you tell the difference too?"

“You can tell just by feeling.” Bai Ying rubbed her chin. “However, the Deep Sea Dean just now looked like a shell that suddenly took on a human form. Compared to your Deep Sea Yamato, it’s like the difference between a doll and a human. So it’s normal that the quality of Deep Sea metal is much lower than hers.”

"Oh... I see... no wonder." Xiao Bai waved the hand holding the deep-sea metal in front of Bai Ying. "Um, Bai Ying, this is yours..."

"I do not want."

"...This is very valuable."

"It's alright, you can have it."

"..."

Xiao Bai withdrew his hand, thought for a while, and then stuffed the deep-sea metal in his hand into his mouth and chewed it with a crunching sound.

From the first time Xiaobai salvaged a boat to now, salvaging Bai Ying is probably the most profitable thing Xiaobai has ever done in his life.

Others have their ship girls' salaries paid out of their own pockets by the admiral.

Bai Ying is doing well, though.

She pays the admiral's salary.

Chapter 1033 Look at those blossoms, the dean's flowers cover the mountain

Since Bai Ying doesn't want it anymore, then this piece of deep-sea metal can be mine.

Thinking this, Xiao Bai put the deep-sea metal he had just collected into his mouth right in front of Bai Ying.

A few crunching sounds came from Xiaobai's cheeks, and Xiaobai raised its head and swallowed the deep-sea metal with a gulp.

The deep-sea metal transformed into a warm current, soothing Xiaobai's stomach.

Xiao Bai touched his belly and tried to recall the taste.

Ok.

Just as Bai Ying said, that piece of Dean's Metal was indeed a soulless piece of Deep Sea Dean's Metal. Compared to the maids from the newbie garrison, it was not only smaller in size, but even its taste wasn't as amazing.

It's just the right amount of salty and mild, better than nothing, barely enough to maintain the flavor.

"You... just ate it like that?"

Bai Ying, standing beside Xiao Bai, watched as Xiao Bai expertly consumed the Deep Sea Dean's Metal, her expression somewhat complicated.

Because of the precedent of the military knife incident, Bai Ying didn't find it strange that Xiao Bai ate deep-sea metal; in fact, she even had a sense of understanding that it was no wonder he would do such a thing.

Bai Ying was simply puzzled by Xiao Bai's smooth and effortless eating movements, and somewhat surprised by Xiao Bai's proficiency in eating deep-sea metal.

Just how many times has this admiral ingested deep-sea metal...?

"Hmm?" Xiaobai noticed Bai Ying's gaze at her. She turned her head and blinked curiously at Bai Ying. "Um, is there something wrong with my face?"

"..." Bai Ying shook her head. "Compared to that kind of thing, why did you come to the sea in the middle of the night?"

"Ah, right... well... actually, I came to investigate the sea because I was a bit curious..."

"one person?"

"Hmm." Xiaobai nodded. "Speaking of which, Bai Ying, how did you know I left the yard in the middle of the night?"

"When I got up in the middle of the night to grill sausages for myself, I saw you sneaking out of your room through the window. Out of curiosity, I followed you from a distance," Bai Ying said expressionlessly.

"Uh... I see... that's how it is." Xiao Bai slapped her forehead with a wry smile. "Oh, right... speaking of which, Bai Ying, your ship type is supposed to be..."

“It’s an aircraft battleship,” Bai Ying said seriously.

“…Um, Bai Ying, I think your ship equipment should be land-based.”

"It's an aircraft battleship."

"...But that looks like a land-based structure, because look, how come a regular airborne battleship..."

"It can launch airplanes and fire cannons, so it's an air battleship." Bai Ying's gaze was unwavering, as if protected by some kind of faith.

Xiao Bai stared at Bai Ying for a moment, then finally sighed helplessly.

—Fine, if you say you're an air battleship, then you're an air battleship.

Anyway, during the time when there was a generational gap, Xiaobai often impersonated an air battleship. When Pachina was hiding her identity, she also liked to say that she was an air battleship... Anyway, as for them, the land-based ones... aside from the fact that they are slow, they seem to be no different from air battleships with all their skills maxed out. They have a natural advantage when disguising themselves as air battleships.

—Roadbed… Ah, yet another roadbed.

Speaking of which, land-based ship girls are even rarer than aircraft battleships.

Looking at Bai Ying, Xiao Bai felt as if some clues were about to emerge in her mind, vaguely piecing together something.

However, after a few seconds of fruitless contemplation, Xiaobai temporarily put aside the thought. She shook her head, cleared her mind, and looked at Bai Ying.

"Bai Ying, anyway, because I have some clues about this sea area, I may need to continue to go further out to sea..." Xiao Bai said to Bai Ying.

"Okay." Bai Ying didn't stop Xiao Bai. She nodded simply and then asked, "Can I come with you?"

“…Um, that…” Xiaobai hesitated for a moment.

Although Bai Ying appeared to have protected Xiao Bai by blocking the cannonball that flew from Dean Shenhai's hand, in reality, even if that cannonball had hit Xiao Bai's body, Xiao Bai wouldn't have been seriously injured; at most, her clothes would have been torn.

Even though Xiaobai is protected by the Will of the Deep Sea and is afflicted with the Mysterious Saber debuff, as long as he doesn't get too close to the Deep Sea Deans, the Will of the Deep Sea still takes priority, and Xiaobai will not arouse the hostility of those Deep Sea Deans.

The place Xiaobai is going to next is likely to be frequented by groups of Deep Sea Deans. Bringing Bai Ying along, who is likely to attract fire, might affect Xiaobai's next move.

Xiao Bai pondered how to politely decline Bai Ying's offer.

There are no secrets between Shiro and the ship girls, but the existence of the Deep Sea Will is like a treasure that Shiro keeps to herself, and she doesn't really want to tell anyone else about it...

"Bai Ying".

"I'm here."

"Um, I want to walk alone..."

“That’s dangerous.” Bai Ying looked at Xiao Bai with doubt and seemed to disapprove of Xiao Bai going alone. “It would be much safer if the two of you looked after each other.”

"I will protect myself."

“No, you’re still too young and inexperienced,” Bai Ying said.

"I'm very lucky."

"Absolutely not, I'm responsible for your safety."

It seems that Bai Ying is firmly against Xiao Bai going to the depths of the sea alone.

"Ok."

Xiao Bai sighed as she looked at Bai Ying.

Xiao Bai reached out and rummaged through his ship equipment space for a while, finally pulling out a small bundle of bright red sausages from a corner of the space.

"!"

"Bai Ying, here are some sausages for you. Go grill them on the beach and eat them."

"Ok!"

Bai Ying shamelessly accepted the bribe and turned to leave.

As Bai Ying's figure gradually disappeared on the horizon, Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Ying, that child.

They're so easy to fool.

Thinking this, Xiaobai glanced one last time at the chaotic sea around him, and then headed towards the depths of the ocean.
