Elder brother's garrison

Page 902

A tall woman dressed in purple armor sat on a huge construction device, her arms crossed, deep in thought.

"Ah, it's that sir!"

Emerging from the congested, dark, and mysterious sea.

Looking at the vast sea before me.

Yamato Fukami hugged his chest, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and felt the hard construction device under his buttocks, feeling very conflicted.

Yamato Sumida sighed.

Sometimes, when Yamato is deep in the sea contemplating a problem, he enjoys looking at such a vast landscape.

My thoughts drifted back with the sea breeze.

If you were to ask why Yamato would be sitting in this place contemplating life...

That story begins last night.

Since last night, when Xiaobai defeated the large, black "self" and extracted the incredibly rich deep-sea energy from the construction device to feed its purple whale.

For Yamato, the situation becomes particularly complicated.

First and foremost, Deep Sea Yamato discovered that ever since the purple whale consumed the black deep-sea aura thrown out by Shiro, the white deep-sea deans in this area have stopped attacking him.

Not only that.

These white-clad deans of the deep sea seemed to be particularly obedient to him; whatever he told them to do, they did.

They were practically... like a group of standard deep-sea frigates.

Deep Sea Yamato couldn't tell whether his current situation was a good thing or a bad thing. Judging from the fact that he had inexplicably gained control of this group of white deep sea deans, was this some kind of strange development like "there must be a Lich King"?

Whether or not he had become the new Lich King was something that Deepsea Yamato was currently unaware of.

Because at this moment, there is something even more troubling for Deepsea Yamato.

Yamato lowered his head and glanced at the construction device under his buttocks.

According to Xiaobai, this construction device most likely contains her ship girl sister from the Abyssal Yamato family. Abyssal Yamato can easily see the experience bar on the screen of the construction device under her by simply looking down.

Since last night, the construction device seems to have been stuck in an exceptionally slow processing state. A whole night and a morning have passed, and the long experience bar has only loaded a tiny bit.

Deep Sea Yamato remembered that when Xiaobai left last night, the experience bar of this construction device showed 20%, and now, the experience bar of the construction device under his butt is stuck at 25%.

As Shenhai Yamato watched his experience bar grow by only 5% since last night, he felt extremely conflicted.

Ok……

This progress is so subtle.

When will it finally load to 100%?

You spendthrift sister.

I wonder if Xiaobai is in a hurry right now?

Why are you acting like a diva?

Yamato was deep in thought, grappling with immense inner turmoil.

What makes this construction device different from ordinary construction devices is that it is actually a super construction device that can absorb combat experience. In other words, as long as you provide it with a large amount of combat experience, you can speed up the progress bar.

But here's the problem.

More than a week has passed since the event started. During this week, the group of freakish ship girls from the newbie naval base guarded the respawn point in the Mysterious Sea, repeatedly killing the White Abyssal Deans who were originally everywhere. Now, a week later, although the number of White Abyssal Deans remaining in the Mysterious Sea is still considerable, it is now many times less than its peak population.

in other words.

That is.

We don't have enough manpower right now.

The amount of experience provided for building the equipment is nowhere near what it used to be.

This is why the experience bar for building devices increases so slowly.

If we want to provide experience for this construction device... then we have to fight, but we don't have enough manpower right now. Just sending the White Deep Sea Dean out to be killed by the ship girls won't result in any high-quality battles. It's a waste of effort.

As Yamato stared at the experience bar on the construction device screen, he truly felt a sense of helplessness, like waiting for something he hadn't seen in a long time.

Ugh.

Isn't this the legendary infinite loop?

I can't go on living like this anymore.

Yamato Fukami crossed his arms and pondered, pondered, and pondered some more.

"Ah, it's that sir!"

Just then, a familiar voice called out from the other side of the sea.

Yamato raised its head.

A group of ship girls with long golden hair were waving at her as they approached.

The blonde ship girl in the lead was someone Abyssal Yamato recognized; her name seemed to be Glorious. She was quite unlucky, always encountering strange situations on the sea for various bizarre reasons, putting herself in strange and dangerous situations. However, thanks to her, Abyssal Yamato's lifeguard system had been quite busy this week, earning a considerable amount of money from Glorious. After this happened so many times, they naturally became somewhat familiar with each other.

"Your Excellency! What are you doing here?!" Glorious waved his hand, somewhat flustered, and approached Abyssal Yamato. "There are many high-ocean-range ship girls here, Your Excellency... Ah, no, I didn't mean to classify Your Excellency as the same kind of being as an Abyssal ship girl, it's just that Your Excellency is just too powerful, and your style is so dashing... It's easy... easy for the surrounding ship girls to misunderstand..."

Glorious stopped in front of Yamato Aqua, raising his hands up and down in a flustered attempt to explain to Yamato, his words implying that Yamato should hide.

—This ship girl is really interesting; she actually cares about me.

—They also claimed that they were different from ordinary deep-sea amphibious ships.

—I'm sorry, but there are very few deep-sea amphibious ships in the world now that are more politically reliable than ourselves.

As the deep sea calmly watched Glory, who was gesturing frantically in front of him, he thought to himself.

But... a high-altitude sea-dwelling ship girl?

Upon hearing this, Yamato's eyes flickered slightly. Her gaze passed over Glorious's shoulder and fell upon the destroyers behind him who were looking at him with concern. Then, her gaze shifted back to the sea behind Glorious.

really.

Just as Koei was frantically explaining to Abyssal Yamato and persuading her to go underwater to avoid the storm, Abyssal Yamato had already spotted several fleets of ship girls hurrying by on the distant sea.

And coincidentally...

It seemed that because of the gathering of Glory and others here, a group of ship girls at the far end had noticed this place and were urging their group to curiously approach.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Yamato Abyss.

Yamato didn't move, his gaze returning to Glorious's face.

The exit of the Mysterious Seas faces a place quite far from the beach. Normally, few ship girls would come here. This time, it's probably because the number of White Abyssal Commanders in the entire sea area has decreased sharply, and the combat pressure on the beach is too low. That's why some powerful ship girls have chosen to move closer to the depths of the sea to look for more opportunities.

"...Um, your name is Glory, right?" Yamato Akami suddenly spoke up.

"Huh?" The Glory, who had been speaking non-stop, paused. She didn't understand what Deepsea Yamato meant, but she still nodded. "Uh... it's me, it's me..."

"Hey, do you know who I am?" Yamato Akami pointed to himself.

“…Huh?” Glory thought for a moment, “Uh…the…respectable…lifeguard?”

"And then, well, I think there's a limit to what lifeguards can do. I've learned something from my long life... that is, the harder you try, the more you'll find that there's a limit to what lifeguards can do... After all, you only get 500 coins for working yourself to the bone to save a ship girl, and even then, quite a few ship girls don't recognize me and will attack me when they see me..." Abyssal Yamato murmured, pausing slightly, "Ah, I think you guys better stand back a bit."

"Hmm?" Glorious and the other ship girls looked at Deepsea Yamato with a puzzled expression.

Yamato Shinkai pointed his finger behind Glory.

Glory turned around and looked behind him, following the finger pointed by Yamato Akami.

It was in the direction that Yamato was pointing.

On the distant sea, a group of high-sea-range ship girls, exuding the aura of powerful warriors, emanated an aura as if they had their eyes on their prey. The sky was filled with buzzing bombers, and several huge main gun barrels were aimed at the Abyssal Yamato from a distance, rushing toward them at an aggressive speed.

Glory's face instantly paled.

"Huh? Those are..."

“Oh…”

"buzzing"

Before Glory could even react.

The carrier-based aircraft overhead swarmed over the group like locusts, closing in on them in an instant.

In an instant, bombs of all sizes rained down like a deluge, carrying a golden glow as they bombarded the sea where Glory was located.

Oops!

This senior's aura is so overwhelming that it might have overwhelmed the auras of us ship girls, causing other ship girls in the distance to mistake us for Abyssal Fleet ships?

Glory reacted instantly.

But by the time they realized it, it was too late. The next second, bombs rained down from the sky, landing right next to Glorious and his crew.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

White light exploded.

The flames pieced together to form fiery red flowers, which exploded around Glorious and the others.

The flames instantly engulfed the sea and the sound, and the intense heat scorched Glorious's skin, making it seem as if his body would burst into flames at any moment.

The flames raged for a long time.

It was still just burning hot.

The ship's equipment was not damaged.

"Huh?" Glorious, who had been waiting with his eyes closed for his ship's equipment to be severely damaged, opened his eyes and looked around with some confusion.

At first glance.

Glory was suddenly stunned.

Suddenly, a colossal whale, its body inlaid with dazzling black and purple crystals, appeared before them. With its simple, mountain-like body, it single-handedly blocked the enemy's most powerful initial attack.

"woo"

The dark purple crystal whale let out a domineering roar, its immense sound spreading in all directions in an instant, causing all the carrier-based aircraft floating in the sky to tremble and slowly fall.

"This...which whale is it again..." Glory stared, speechless.

Koei had seen both of this purple-clad veteran's whale-shaped ship armor sets before, due to previous business dealings.

After all, the price is based on skill; a purple whale costs 200 yuan, while a white whale costs 500 yuan.

However, the purple whale that appeared before him, its entire body inlaid with magnificent black and purple crystal armor, was something Glorious had never seen before.

Oops.

That aura, that physique, and that domineering roar.

It's worth at least five hundred yuan!

"Cough cough."

Just as Koei and the others were feeling somewhat confused, Yamato's voice came from above the head of the dark purple crystal whale.

Glory and the others looked up at the blackish-purple whale's forehead.

The Deep Sea Yamato, clad in a sleeping armor that shimmered like amethyst, now stood atop the black-purple whale's head, alongside the construction device that had previously been sitting beneath it.

"Let's get back to the topic we were just discussing."

"Glory, I've discovered something during my short week on the job... The harder you try, the more you realize that there are limits to what lifeguards can do, even making money... Unless you surpass what lifeguards can do!"

"Eh? Your Excellency... what are you saying..."

"I'm not a lifeguard anymore!!!" Yamato's shout came from above the dark purple whale's head. "Attention! Stand still! Inside and outside! It's a robbery! Hand over all your money!!"

Today's chapter is a long one of 6000 words.

It feels so good to have the number of chapters back to an even number.

Chapter 1181 The Evil of the Deep Sea Manifests

In the courtyard of the newbie garrison, just as Shiro was eagerly watching Akashi rushing to finish his work, a phone rang urgently.

"Ring ring ring ring—!!"
