Elder brother's garrison

Page 1211

The ship girls all turned to look behind Xiaobai and saw Loki standing there calmly, dressed in a maid outfit.

Upon seeing Loki, the ship girls' expressions relaxed considerably.

"Miss Loki, did you bring our admiral back?"

"Exactly."

"Thank you so much! Thank you for bringing our admiral back!" The ship girls rushed to Loki, hugged his hands, and expressed their gratitude.

—Although Xiaobai felt that he could return safely without Loki.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

After briefly telling the ship girls that she was back and not to worry, Xiaobai rushed to the other top ten admirals in the center of the courtyard.

"Admiral Lian, Admiral Ling, turn to page 161 of the plan. If Admiral Haoding fails to obtain accurate information about the enemy, and the enemy approaches the island before the expedition even begins, then your naval bases will be needed. I previously had your naval base ship girls stationed on both sides of the island; now, please have them set sail immediately and use the tactics outlined on page 527 of the plan..."

"Admiral Nanxing, time is of the essence in this operation. We need to make extensive use of the combat power of your naval base's ship girls. Under the cover of Admirals Lian and Ling, your naval base only has three minutes to set up your formation. Hurry..."

"Admiral Li Hua, regarding the plan we discussed last time, there's now an opportunity to implement it..."

"..."

Center of the courtyard.

Admiral Zhao Kuo held the thick plan document, excitedly flipping through it while continuously speaking to the admirals around him. One after another, incredibly fast instructions came from his mouth and clearly entered the admirals' ears.

The usually lazy admirals became serious at this moment. They received Admiral Zhao Kuo's instructions, nodded quickly, and left in a hurry.

Admiral Zhao Kuo, sweat beading on his forehead, let out a small sigh of relief.

"Admiral Zhao Kuo!" Xiao Bai called out to Admiral Zhao Kuo.

"Ah! It's Admiral Lu Lin!" Admiral Zhao Kuo turned to look at Xiao Bai, a hint of surprise on his face. "Admiral Lu Lin, you're finally back!"

"Uh... um, sorry... I just..."

Xiao Bai looked at Admiral Zhao Kuo with an apologetic expression.

"Don't worry about it, Admiral Lu Lin. The enemy's appearance at this time is not due to our orders," Admiral Zhao Kuo said. "This isn't the first time I've encountered plans being disrupted. Right now, our most important task is to deal with the current situation, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Xiaobai nodded quickly, then looked curiously at the departing admirals, "I just saw your orders..."

"Ah, to my shame, the possibility of the enemy suddenly appearing in front of me is certainly within my preparations," Admiral Zhao Kuo said to Xiao Bai. "If we combine the preparations in the plan, the plan can be implemented smoothly. Admiral Lu Lin, there is no need to panic."

"Wow!" Little White clasped her hands together. "Really?"

"Yes, to prevent this from happening, I previously suggested that Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling station their ship girls on the outer edge of the island. To help conceal their ship girls' presence, I also hired two tour groups as cover. Now that the Abyssal Fleet has appeared on the sea, they can rush there immediately." Admiral Zhao Kuo said, turning a page in his book. "Admiral Nanxing's ship girls are highly organized and disciplined, and can arrive immediately, so I also prepared a second plan as a backup in case Admiral Lian and Admiral Ling mess things up. Of course, the backup plan's backup plan is Admiral Li Hua..."

Xiao Bai watched as Admiral Zhao Kuo kept talking, completely bewildered.

Although I don't understand.

But I always felt like it wasn't a big problem.

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see... Then, Commander Zhao Kuo, is there anything my garrison can do?" Xiao Bai asked Commander Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, paused for a moment, then nodded rapidly.

"Of course, although I have prepared for the possibility that Admiral Lu Lin might be absent... but if you were here, you would have something even more important to do."

"important things?"

"Yes, it is more important than the work of Admiral Lian, Admiral Ling, Admiral Li Hua, and Admiral Nan Xing," Admiral Zhao Kuo said earnestly.

As Zhao Kuo, the admiral, spoke, Xiao Bai began to feel nervous.

As we all know, the combat power of the newbie naval base is the strongest among the top ten naval bases. In other words, as Yi Shan from the chat group said, it is very likely that the missions encountered by the newbie naval base are the most difficult missions.

Considering what Admiral Zhao Kuo just said—that his own mission is the most important…

Who knows, the rookie naval base might soon become the main fleet, fighting against the Abyssal Fleet under the cover of other naval bases.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

This kind of task is understandable for beginners.

"No problem, leave it to me!" Xiaobai nodded, then asked curiously, "So what's my task?"

"Admiral Lu Lin, please wait a moment." Admiral Zhao Kuo turned around and fiddled with something behind his back for a while.

Xiao Bai waited silently for Zhao Kuo to become the admiral.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Kuo, the admiral, pulled out a large stack of colored printed papers from behind him and slapped them into Xiao Bai's hand.

"Eh? This is..."

Xiao Bai took the paper and looked at the printing on it with a puzzled expression.

These papers felt stiff to the touch and smelled strongly of fresh ink. They were covered with all sorts of strange pictures and slogans such as "XX Hotel Opening, XX Internet Cafe Opening, XX Vegetable Market Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony, All 30% Off".

—What is this?

"Admiral Zhao Kuo...this is..."

"This is your mission, Admiral Lu Lin!"

"What mission?"

"Distribute flyers."

"???"

PS1: Although it's steamed egg custard, the word count is 5000 words.

PS2: It's the end of the month.

Does anyone know if anyone still has that... you know, that extra thing that accounts have every month... each account has one or two shiny blades that authors are happy to submit... that free thing called "blade"?

Give me two slices!

Chapter 1548 The Most Suitable Task for Novices

On the island, the weather was fine and sunny.

At midday, the flags were raised, and the willows on the dam stood in a magnificent display.

Along the city streets, pedestrians, in twos and threes or in groups, crowd the streets, making them impassable.

In densely populated areas, the sounds of fireworks and the lively atmosphere are particularly strong, and the shouts of roadside vendors are especially energetic.

The island's pedestrians strolled slowly along the streets, inch by inch, passing through the food street amidst the shouts of vendors. They would occasionally turn their attention to one roadside shop after another, and if they encountered something interesting or intriguing, they would call out to their friends.

Today is Sunday.

A rare day off in a week.

Whether for hardworking office workers or students who have not yet entered the workforce, Sunday is always the most leisurely and pleasant day of the week. People who enjoy socializing and going out will never refuse an invitation from friends on a nice day off.

Aside from a small number of tourists, most of the pedestrians on the road are local residents. Life on the island moves at a slow pace, especially on Sundays.

Most of the pedestrians on the street were young people. Some of them were holding milk tea cups from high-end beverage shops, some were clutching freshly made movie tickets, and some were carrying bags, chatting with their friends with smiles that never got tired of them, sharing interesting stories, anecdotes, and joyful moments.

On the street, several young people with ruddy complexions walked out of a restaurant, chatting as they headed toward a nearby internet cafe.

"Did you hear that?"

The young man at the front turned around with a mysterious look on his face and asked his friends behind him.

"What have you heard, Yi Er San II Ling Ba?"

"Recently, the higher authorities have announced a sea closure. Now, in the direction facing the open sea, people are not allowed to go out to fish, and tourists are not allowed to experience boating."

"Oh...is that so?"

"Haha—we all live on the island, how come you're so out of the loop?"

"It's just that I've been busy with work lately... and there's no rule that says you have to go out to sea every day if you live on an island, right? We're not in the fishing business."

"makes sense!"

"But...it doesn't seem like the time for a fishing ban, does it? Why the sudden closure of the seas?"

"Who knows what's going on up there? But... I do have some inside information."

"what news?"

"I heard... the Deepsea Abyssal Fleet is going to attack this city," the young man said mysteriously to his friends behind him.

The young man's friends behind him were taken aback. They exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

Hahaha! You're so lame!

"Hahahaha... How old are you? Why are you still using this kind of scare tactics?"

"It's a traditional trick of our coastal cities! Every time something minor happens, someone tries to link it to deep-sea amphibious ships! Go to sleep! I'm sick of hearing it since I was a child. Even the boy who cried wolf wasn't this frequent!"

The young people burst into loud laughter.

The young man at the front also laughed heartily, seemingly admitting that he was just joking.

However, just as the young people on the street were laughing heartily...

A distant and muffled rumble suddenly came from the horizon.

"Boom"

The peaceful and tranquil sky, under the sudden and loud boom, began to tremble and darken, like a trembling blue ribbon.

The sound came from the other side of the sky, like a seagull spreading its wings and soaring towards the other side.

The booming sound echoed and lingered in the sky for a long time.

The noise from the street paused for a moment.

The young man, who had just been laughing heartily, subconsciously stopped talking, raised his head, and looked up at the sky.

The young people stopped and looked at each other.

They could both see the strange look on each other's faces, a look tinged with a hint of bewilderment.

"Well……"

"Probably...not right?"

"No way?"

"……Well……"

Just as the young people were looking at each other in bewilderment, another loud sound came rapidly from the other side of the sky.

"Boom————"

"Boom————"

The sound was like a advancing torrent, appearing closer and closer with each resounding gust.

On the wide street, pedestrians paused in their movements.

next second.

Under the wide-eyed gaze of the pedestrians on the street, a huge dragon boat draped in red silk appeared on the horizon at the end of the street.

—That was a huge dragon boat sailing down the street.

The dragon boat was as tall as a three- or four-story building. Brightly colored young women huddled around the boat, dressed in colorful clothes and holding up banners. The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, and colorful ribbons cascaded down the boat like waterfalls, creating a spectacular sight.

"Uh...this...this is..."

Before the people on the street could react, another sound came from the dragon boat.

"Boom!!!"

Several colorful cannons, mounted on the edge of the dragon boat, fired simultaneously, creating a magnificent display. A large amount of colorful brocade and gold paper shot into the sky with a boom, fluttering in the wind and creating a golden, multicolored rain on the street.

Ok?

what happened?

what is this?

The crowd on the street stared blankly at the inexplicably festive and lively dragon boat in the distance, slowly inching its massive body toward them.

"welcome!"
