Elder brother's garrison

"Crow's mouth, bah bah bah!"

"Alright, alright, let's get back to base. We don't have much time left to fish."

"it is good--"

The ship girls quickly composed themselves and, pulling the fishing net, waded towards the shore.

As the ship girls moved, a thick fog suddenly rose from the calm sea.

The ship girls initially didn't care about the fog behind them, and simply carried their fishing nets back to port. As long as there was no deep-sea aura around them, there would be no enemies.

But little does he know.

Right behind the ship girls, in a place where the fog was thickest.

A colossal figure, almost obscuring the sky, appeared silently on the water's surface.

Chapter 2214 Ambush!

The midday sun in winter is particularly dazzling.

On the shore of Chapter 2215, the icy seawater splashed and pounded against the pebble beach, and several small man-made watchtowers stood along the shore, with figures appearing and disappearing on the towers.

On the pebble beach, several ship girls were patrolling along specific routes in small groups.

At this moment, the ship girls of Haoding Garrison were on routine patrol.

One of the red-haired ship girls stopped at the shore. She looked up at the sea several times, her face showing confusion.

"what happened?"

Beside the red-haired ship girl, another blue-haired ship girl who was patrolling with her asked a question.

"what time is it now?"

The red-haired ship girl frowned and asked her companion a question.

"Now? Hmm... let me see." The blue-haired ship girl raised her arm and glanced at the quartz watch on her wrist. "It's 10:42 AM now, and there are 18 minutes left before the shift change."

"Is it already 10:42?" the red-haired ship girl murmured, turning to the blue-haired ship girl and saying, "The team that went out to collect supplies today is back a little late."

"Hmm? Oh... now that you mention it, it does seem to be true."

"What time do they usually come back?"

"Ten thirty."

"So that means they're a full twelve minutes late... Could something have gone wrong? Should we notify the others?" the red-haired ship girl said worriedly to her companion.

"It's only a dozen minutes late, don't worry, right?" The blue-haired ship girl smiled reassuringly after hearing her companion's words. "There are no enemies in this coastal waters now, and they are all veterans from our naval base. They are not only powerful in combat, but also have rich experience. They know exactly where to go and where not to go. They probably just had a good haul today and couldn't resist fishing a little longer."

"That makes sense... Maybe... I'm being too sensitive." The red-haired ship girl seemed somewhat relieved after hearing the blue-haired ship girl's explanation. She rubbed her temples and said apologetically, "Sorry... I've been on edge like this lately..."

"It's alright. Hmm... but their late return is indeed a problem. Let's wait another ten minutes. If they're not back before the shift change, we'll notify the others," the blue-haired ship girl said.

"..." The red-haired ship girl nodded slightly, but her face was still clouded with worry.

"I understand how you feel, after all, our naval base has also experienced those things... The admiral's health... sigh! But! Fortunately, we had the support of our comrades from the rookie naval base! We were able to turn the tide! It will definitely be like this in the future!" The blue-haired ship girl quickly comforted her companion, seeing her expression. "The acting admiral is amazing, isn't she!"

"yes……"

The red-haired ship girl's expression softened slightly when the name of the admiral of the new naval base was mentioned, as if just mentioning the name could give the ship girls a great sense of security.

"So, all we need to do next is..."

The blue-haired ship girl was talking to her companions when suddenly, before she could finish speaking, a ship girl's shout came from a nearby watchtower.

"Attention! There's an emergency at Watchtower Number Three—"

The shout was quite urgent and brief.

The blue-haired and red-haired ship girls stopped talking upon hearing the sound, and the next moment, their ship equipment appeared, and their gazes were also turned to the sea.

really.

Just as the blue-haired and red-haired ship girls were looking out at the sea, they spotted several solitary, dark figures rising from the distant horizon.

The figures were too small, and although they were pitch black, they did not seem to be deep-sea creatures.

"Huh? What is that?"

The blue-haired ship girl squinted at the target, taking a few seconds to carefully identify it.

The blue-haired ship girl had excellent eyesight, and as her vision extended, she quickly recognized the shapes of several black targets rising from the horizon.

The blue-haired ship girl was stunned for a moment when she saw the black target, but quickly called out to the watchtower next to her.

"Don't panic—they're not the enemy—they're a team that's gone out to find supplies!"

"learn!"

Thanks to the blue-haired ship girl's reminder, the people on the watchtower refrained from making any louder noise.

After informing the watchtower, the blue-haired ship girl turned her gaze back to the sea, her eyes filled with confusion.

"strangeness……"

The dark target on the other side of the horizon slowly approached the shore.

As the target drew closer, the ship girls on the shore finally saw them clearly—four ship girls covered in oil and surrounded by a strong aura of the deep sea. Their physical strength seemed to have been completely drained, and they could only support each other as they staggered along.

They were members of the ship girl team that went out to fish for seafood this morning. However, out of the six ship girls who set off this morning, only four returned.

"Huh? How come they are—"

"They were attacked by the enemy??"

The red-haired ship girl and the blue-haired ship girl exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. They rushed to the sea and reached their companions before they collapsed from exhaustion.

Upon seeing their companions approaching, the group of ship girls, covered in oil, finally succumbed and collapsed on the sea.

"Are you the supply team? What happened? How did you get like this? Please answer!" The blue-haired and red-haired ship girls quickly helped their fallen comrades up, anxiously asking about their condition while vigilantly observing the surrounding water.

Today, apart from the dense water mist, the deep sea area is no different from usual.

"We...we...encountered...the enemy..." A ship girl covered in oil grabbed the blue-haired ship girl's hand, managing to squeeze out weak words, "Quickly, report...the powerful...Dean of the Deep Sea...is coming..."

"Dean of the Deep Sea??" The blue-haired ship girl was shocked.

"We... lost. Two of our comrades were left behind... they covered our retreat..."

"Quick, go back... The sea is... very dangerous right now..."

"..."

Before the several ship girls, covered in oil, could finish speaking, they closed their eyes in a fit of rapid breathing.

The blue-haired and red-haired ship girls stared blankly at their companions in their arms for a few seconds, mouths agape.

then.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The blue-haired and red-haired ship girls quickly carried their unconscious companion and shouted at the watchtower on the shore with all their might.

The ship girls on the watchtower moved swiftly, and the instant the shouts were heard, a deep horn sounded from the tower.

"buzz"

The deep, resonant sound of the horn instantly tore through the air and spread throughout the entire pebble beach.

Upon receiving the bugle call, the watchtower quickly sounded its own bugle.

"Om——"

"Om——"

"Om——"

The sounds of bugles rose and fell, spreading like smoke signals all the way towards the base.

The highest level of alert has been activated.

……

Upon receiving the bugle call, personnel at the fleet base in Chapter Eight stirred, and the sound of tense but orderly footsteps echoed through the valley.

Whether it was Haoding Garrison, Mengxin Garrison, or even the Mu family's temporary fleet, all of them completed the assembly of personnel in a very short time.

Admiral Haoding also arrived at the assembly point immediately.

Seeing the conspicuous pure black figure appear under the protection of the ship girls, Mu Chenglin, who had arrived earlier, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Admiral Haoding.

"Brother Hao."

Admiral Haoding stopped in front of Mu Chenglin, about to say something, but quickly noticed the four ship girls lying at Mu Chenglin's feet, covered in oil and shrouded in a strong aura of the deep sea. His expression instantly turned serious.

Admiral Haoding silently knelt on one knee beside the ship girls and gently wiped their oily faces.

"They belong to my family." Admiral Haoding withdrew his hand, looked directly at his own ship girls, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Mu, they..."

"Brother Hao, rest assured, I have just ordered my men to check on them. Although these ship girls look a bit miserable, they are all in good health," Mu Chenglin said.

"Thank you." Admiral Haoding's solemn expression eased slightly.

"Brother Hao, these ship girls are part of a supply team that routinely goes out to sea to harvest seafood," Mu Chenglin said. "According to the messenger, the supply team was attacked by a powerful Deep Sea Lord while harvesting seafood. Two of them stayed behind to cover the retreat of the other four, and now the two ship girls who remained are..."

"There are still twenty-three hours until the end of the major damage protection." Admiral Haoding took a deep breath and stood up.

"Hmm." Mu Chenglin nodded. Looking at Hao Ding's calm expression, he suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly said, "Brother Hao, you are still injured. The deep-sea atmosphere at sea is extremely harmful to you. In my opinion, you should not act rashly. The situation on the sea surface is still relatively stable. We have not found any ambush from the deep-sea fleet. Therefore, we should organize the intelligence before the major destruction ends and convey the message to Admiral Lu Lin."

Mu Chenglin spoke with a hint of nervousness.

But the next second, a pair of heavy, black hands landed on his shoulders.

"Don't worry, Brother Mu." Hao Ding forced a smile at Mu Chenglin. "I'm not that stupid."

"..." Mu Chenglin looked at Hao Ding's smile and his eyebrows twitched.

"Have we received any news about Admiral Lu Lin?"

"Not yet. But we've already notified the ship girls at the newbie naval base, and they'll contact Admiral Lu Lin."

"Okay." Hao Ding looked down at the four ship girls lying on the ground. "Do you have any intelligence on the enemy that attacked the supply team this time?"

"I'm sorry. The patrolling ship girls said that when they were found, there was no trace of the nearby deep-sea fleet. After these returning ship girls briefly explained their situation, they all fell into a coma. So we didn't get any intelligence about the enemy..." Mu Chenglin looked regretful.

However, Mu Chenglin had barely finished speaking.

A clear and melodious female voice rang out beside the two admirals.

"The enemy is huge and adept at concealing its presence. It is not very destructive, but it has some control over ship girls. However, it probably does not have any high-quality deep-sea frigates."

Chapter 2216 Audience Member Wu Qi VIII Ba VIIliu also took their seats

The sudden appearance of the voice startled both Mu Chenglin and Hao Ding.

The two turned their heads and looked toward the source of the sound.

A beautiful, gentle-looking adult woman stood not far from the two admirals, carefully examining the four unconscious ship girls on the ground.

This adult woman did not possess any aura of a ship girl; she was merely an ordinary human with the appearance of a ship girl.

"Auntie Nonoka?" Mu Chenglin looked at the adult woman in surprise. After a slight moment of surprise, Mu Chenglin quickly took two steps back and bowed respectfully to Nonoka. "When did you arrive?"

"Hi~ Xiaolinzi." Konohana, who was still observing the unconscious ship girl, heard Mu Chenglin's voice and smiled as she shifted her gaze to Mu Chenglin and Admiral Haoding. "Of course I arrived a long time ago, but when I came here, you two were having a lively discussion, so I didn't want to disturb your friendship."

After saying this, Muna Hana raised both hands and clenched them into fists, bending her two thumbs together.

"Master Mu, I was rude just now." Admiral Haoding also bowed to Mu Naihua.

"It's alright, it's alright. I didn't see it just now. Besides, I'm no longer the head of the Mu family. I'm just a female member of the household." Mu Naihua waved her hand, looking very friendly.

"Auntie Naihana, you just said that the enemy that attacked the supply corps was huge and good at concealing their presence, is that right?" Mu Chenglin walked to Mu Naihana's side and bowed respectfully to ask.

"Yes."

"This is very important information... How did you figure that out?"

"I didn't figure it out by looking at it, I guessed it."

"Uh, guess?"

"Yes." Muna Hana nodded her lips, narrowed her eyes, and looked at the ship girls on the ground. "Although they are not members of the Mu family's temporary fleet, I saw them when they were handing over supplies at the base, so I know a little about them—these girls are called a supply team, but their combat strength is actually quite high, right?"

Muna looked at Admiral Haoding.

Admiral Haoding nodded.
