Elder brother's garrison

Rodney murmured this.

A hint of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes.

So interesting!

Although the ship's equipment was badly damaged, it did not affect Rodney's movement. Rodney sat up from the water with a whoosh, not even glancing at the ship's equipment fragments that were falling from his body. With a sweet smile, he ran energetically towards Rome.

"Roman Sister!" Rodney ran while laughing sweetly, "You're so amazing! You broke through my defenses with just one shot and defeated me! It's so much fun practicing with the Roman sister! Roman sister—"

Rodney showed no remorse for being defeated; her face was filled with a satisfied smile.

Rodney skipped and hopped into the area that had just been bombed by Big Seven.

Because this area of ​​seawater had just been ravaged by intense artillery fire, the seawater naturally emitted a scalding temperature. Wisps of visible white steam mixed with the smell of gunpowder rose and drifted from the surface of the water, and the surroundings were hazy. If it weren't for the sauna-like temperature all around, one might really mistake it for some kind of paradise on earth.

Rodney excitedly ran into the seawater area to look for Rome.

Rome was easy to spot; Rodney quickly found Rome lying on the water's surface amidst the layers of white steam.

"Rome, my little sister! Found you! That move you just made was amazing—" Rodney laughed, waving away the white steam in front of her eyes, and jogged towards Rome. She reached Rome, about to call out to her reflection in the water and recount her satisfaction and happiness from the exercise, when she suddenly froze. "Huh?"

The man standing before Rodney was a ragged Roman, his two full mounds of breasts swaying defiantly in the wind, almost bursting out of his tattered clothes. Roman lay sprawled on the water, his eyes swirling with dizzy eddies, muttering incoherently.

"Wow...that's fierce...I...I can't take it anymore..."

"Big Seven... that's too awesome..."

"There are little stars all around me..."

"Big...Big Sister..."

"..."

Rome lay in the bubbling water, mouth agape, muttering to itself.

Rodney blinked, then looked down at Rome.

really.

On the waters surrounding Rome, there were also a lot of fragments of Rome's ship equipment. Moreover, Rome seemed to be in a worse situation than Rodney. At least Rodney was still able to move relatively freely after being hit by Rome's cannon, and his clothes were in better condition. Rome, on the other hand, was thoroughly bombarded by Rodney's barrage of bullets and was knocked unconscious. Not only was his ship equipment in a terrible state, but his private parts were also exposed.

"Huh?" Rodney exclaimed in surprise. She squatted down next to Rome and poked Rome's cheek with her finger. "Rome, little sister?"

"Big...Big Sister Duck..." Rome was dizzy and seemed to have temporarily stopped responding to the outside world.

"..." Rodney withdrew her finger. She looked at Roma's face with some trouble in her mind for a while, then a flash of inspiration struck her, and she clapped her hands lightly, "Ah... could it be... that the current situation between me and Roma is the legendary mutual destruction?"

Rodney crossed his arms and smiled sweetly at Rome.

"Hmm... although I don't know the specifics, judging from this, it's highly likely that my sister in Rome and I have perished together!"

"As expected of Rome's sister... that last shot was truly beautiful!"

"Hmm...hmm...hmm...but in terms of casualties...it seems the Roman sister is in a worse state. She's lost the ability to resist, and according to the rules of the exercise, she's lying in front of me...I might...perhaps...I can try to secure the final victory?"

"..."

"..."

"Forget it!" Rodney thought for a long time, then finally smiled sweetly and shrugged. "I had a lot of fun with the exercise with Rome! I'm already very satisfied today! Anyway, everyone's ship equipment is badly damaged, so let's just go down together!"

“Anyway, it’s not good to leave her lying here. It’s getting dark soon, and the water will cool down quickly. We’ll have to carry Rome back…” Rodney knelt down next to Rome, bent down and took Rome’s arm, carrying the unconscious Rome behind him. Then he smiled gently, “Rome, let’s go back to the beach!”

"Big...big..." Rome's head turned around.

Rodney gently tugged at Roma's leg, then skipped and hopped back to the beach.

Rodney carried Rome back to the beach, full of energy.

Nelson and Veneto, protective of their sister, were the first to approach. Rodney first told everyone about the result of their exercise, in which both he and Roma suffered heavy losses, and then took Roma off his back and handed him to Veneto.

……

……

In the darkness, a buzzing sound seemed to constantly linger in my ears.

Rome felt as if she had been lying in warm spring water for a long time, then she rode a happy little wild horse and galloped for quite a distance on the refreshing grassland. After riding for a while, she got tired and her whole body ached as if she had been in a fight. Finally, she was carried to flat ground like a relay, where she nestled against a soft little hill and slept soundly and comfortably.

What a strange dream.

Rome's brow twitched, then he slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is the sky full of red clouds.

Then the second thing that caught his eye was his younger sister, the Empire, staring down at his face.

Empire's expression remained calm as always. She was unusually close to him, Empire's impressive chest almost completely obscuring his view above. What remained was a peculiar angle from which he could observe Empire's chin, lips, and the tip of her nose...

Ok?

Wait, this perspective...

"Huh?! I'm enjoying the Empire's lap pillow?!" Rome exclaimed in surprise, sitting up abruptly from the beach.

The moment Rome stood up, she felt a hard touch on the top of her head. She raised her hand to touch her head and quickly pulled a piece of the quick repair device that had split in two off her head.

"Huh? This is..."

Rome, you're awake!

Just as Rome was bewildered and trying to recall what he had just been doing, Xiaobai's voice rang out beside him. Rome turned around and saw Xiaobai, Lexington, and Veneto standing to the side watching him.

"Admiral? I..."

"Roma! I heard from Rodney! You did exceptionally well in the exercise this time! Rodney said she was very satisfied, she had a great time! Although we died together this time, she said she will definitely work harder and be more careful next time!" Little White smiled brightly at Roma.

"Uh..." Roma blinked. Xiaobai's words were like a keyword search, slowly bringing back Roma's memories after waking up. She remembered being forced to practice with Rodney on the sea, and then her face turned pale, and her shoulders trembled. "Ah... I remember! Rodney... Rodney and I practiced!"

"How does it feel to draw with Rodney?" Veneto asked Roma with a smile.

"Rodney...she's...so...terrifying..." Roma looked terrified, as if even recalling some of the recent events would have a huge impact on her young mind. She clutched her head and shook it repeatedly. "My god...Rodney is insanely strong...What kind of barrage was that at the end? I've never experienced such powerful barrage in my life. It felt like I was being hung up and hammered for three days and three nights...So scary, so scary...Who did I believe to practice with someone as terrifying as Rodney...?"

Rome looked like he was eating shit, full of regret but it was too late.

It seems that the exercise with Rodney has indeed left a rather serious psychological scar on Rome.

Xiao Bai smiled wryly.

"However... Rome, you did perform very well..." Xiaobai said with a smile to Rome, his gaze shifting to what was behind him.

Behind Xiaobai.

Rodney, with his rapid-repair device on his head, stood obediently in front of Nelson, his tongue lolling out.

"Sister Nelson, I'm sorry, I lost." Rodney playfully apologized to Nelson, his two fingers intertwined, but there was no regret on his face.

In a formal exercise, such an attitude towards winning and losing would warrant a lecture from Nelson.

However, this exercise was a friendly competition between our own people inside and outside the naval base, so there was no need to be so particular about who won or lost.

As for Rodney...

Go all out in battle.

But after the battle, one should take a detached view of victory and defeat.

This is probably just Rodney's style of doing things.

Faced with her younger sister's playful antics, Nelson sighed helplessly and reached out to touch the quick-repair device on Rodney's head.

"Rodney, you did a great job, keep it up."

"Yes! I'll try even harder next time!" Rodney nodded, his eyes sparkling with joy. "Roma is amazing! I won't lose to her next time!"

"……happy?"

"Yes! I'm so happy!"

"So, it seems you enjoyed the exercise with Rome."

"Yes! Although Rome is still very young, I am very happy and satisfied to work with her!"

“…That’s good.” Nelson smiled and turned to wave at Veneto. “Veneto!”

"Ok?"

Are you free in Rome tomorrow?

"what happened?"

Rodney said he enjoyed the exercise!

"...Hmm. I also think it's very beneficial, so how about we come again tomorrow?"

"Okay!"

"It's a word."

Veneto and Nelson reached an agreement.

Nelson looked at Rodney with satisfaction.

then.

Rome, who was shaking his head and trying to forget what had just happened, suddenly shuddered and stared in disbelief at Veneto, who had already sold him out.

"Big...Big Sister! No!!!"

A sudden, desperate cry from Rome erupted from the ground.

Chapter 1778 I Want to Be a Guest

Rome's ability to fight Rodney to a draw this time was due not only to her own fighting skills, but also to her strategy, decisiveness, courage, and of course, luck played a significant role.

In the exercise just now.

Rome's final shot, which broke through BigSeven's barrage and destroyed Rodney's armored ship, was not a casual shot, but a trump card that Rome had carefully planned and laid out throughout the entire game after stepping onto the training ground.

From the very beginning, when Rodney accepted his challenge and chose to fight him head-on, to later when he was able to barely hold off Rodney's offensive and weaken Rodney's momentum until his counterattack, and finally, when Rodney's momentum was greatly reduced and she would suddenly unleash her skill and use a powerful counterattack, all of this was within Rome's operations and calculations.

Roma were planning to launch a surprise attack during Rodney's final, most powerful, and weakest defensive moment.

If there's anything Rome didn't expect... it's probably Rodney's final counterattack. Rome truly didn't anticipate that Rodney's firepower would be so exaggerated as to be equivalent to a map-wide attack.

It was precisely because of the miscalculation of Rodney's firepower that Rome was overwhelmed by Rodney's overwhelming firepower after firing its last cannonball, thus losing any chance of victory.

But it's okay.

In terms of the result, Roma's performance in this exercise was quite good, as they managed to achieve a draw with Rodney, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses.

The fearless and unwavering fighting spirit that Rome exuded from its very core moved Rodney, giving him an unprecedented training experience and leaving a deep impression on him.

At last.

The exercise between Roma and Rodney ended when Veneto and Nelson reached an agreement to have Rodney and Roma conduct seventeen or eighteen more exercises when they had time, and it concluded amidst Roma's screams of pain.

Rodney and Nelson left the training ground satisfied, waving goodbye to Rome before they left.

"Rome, I look forward to our next exercise together~" Rodney said with a sweet smile as she and Nelson disappeared outside the gates of the training ground.

Rome mechanically waved at Rodney and Nelson's retreating figures, and finally, after Rodney and Nelson disappeared on the other side of the horizon, he slapped his head.

"It's...it's over!! I've been targeted! No, I don't want to practice with Rodney anymore! Practicing with that kind of terrifying ship girl might ruin my entire ship girl career!" Roma screamed in agony, clutching her head, and clung to Veneto with a heart full of tragic despair, "Big sister, it's me, your puppy!"

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you do a great job in the exercise with Rodney just now?" Even as Roma clung to Veneto like a glutinous rice cake, Veneto's expression remained dignified and calm. "Just do what you did this time next time."

"That's why I'm worried about next time! I can't act like this again!" Roma said, shaking Veneto's leg with a wronged expression. "This time, I tricked Rodney, ambushed her when she wasn't paying attention, and only by sheer luck did I manage to hit her! With this experience, how could Rodney possibly fall for it again next time? In fact, she'll definitely start by bombarding my deck with those terrifying barrages right from the beginning!"

“That’s not my concern.” Veneto closed his eyes. “Anyway, with your talent, you’ll surely find other ways to win.”

"Big sister! I don't think I can do it!" Rome shook her face like a shaking electric fan.

“Don’t tell me what you think, tell me what I think.” Veneto slapped Roma’s cheek. “But don’t panic. Although I’ve taken on Rodney’s dozen or so training missions for you, it doesn’t mean you have to fulfill them right away. Our garrison is preparing for an expedition mission, so we’ll at least wait until the mission is over before considering having you do the training.”

"Huh? Isn't it tomorrow?"

"Just be quiet for a bit." With a howl from Roma, Veneto pushed Roma off him, then looked at Xiaobai apologetically and smiled slightly, "Admiral, I'm sorry, Roma is always like this, I hope you don't find it funny."

"Very lively, that's good." Xiaobai chuckled, then turned to look at the Empire, "Hmm... Empire, after watching the exercise between Rome and Rodney just now, did you get any inspiration about activating skills?"

Although Rome became the main character in the latter half of the exercise, Xiaobai still remembers that the initial purpose of this exercise was not to train Rome, but to give cloud player empire some inspiration and enlightenment on unlocking skills through the battle between Rodney and Rome.

Rome and Rodney have benefited greatly from this exercise; I wonder how things are going for the Empire.

Everyone immediately looked toward the Empire.

Empire had been standing behind everyone until now. Facing their concerned gazes, Empire blinked, raised his eyes slightly, glanced sideways at the sun that was about to sink into the sea, and then nodded.
