Elder brother's garrison

Page 1925

In an instant, the powerful cannonballs transformed into several meteors, the first of which hurtled toward Rome, while the rest perfectly blocked Rome's subsequent escape routes.

The initial artillery barrage came so quickly that Rome couldn't even react with its low-level ship equipment.

Rome could only watch helplessly as the shells rained down on her, desperately trying to deflect her ship's rigging to minimize the damage she suffered—it was the only thing she could do at the moment.

But the next second, something unexpected happened.

Just as the cannonball reached Rome, before the smile on the face of the ship girl who launched the attack from afar had faded, orange-red flames instantly rose from behind her.

boom! ! !

"Hey?"

Amidst a moment of astonishment, the ship girl was lifted into the sky by the massive explosion behind her.

Ship equipment fragments were scattered all over the ground.

Bang bang bang bang bang————

Only then did the cannonballs in front of Rome finally land.

Rome managed to barely withstand the cannonballs aimed directly at it using its ship's rigging. The remaining cannon fire was intended to block roads, so as long as Rome didn't move, it wouldn't harm her.

After enduring this round of bombardment, the ship's rigging emitted a faint white smoke, clearly indicating that it had suffered minor damage.

Although Rome's training level is low, the quality of her ship equipment is at the level of top-tier ship girls. Thanks to the sturdy quality of her ship equipment, she can withstand a few shelling attacks without falling into a predicament where she is unable to fight.

Look at the other person.

The figure of the ever-victorious general is no longer seen standing on the sea.

On the vast sea, where the ever-victorious general once stood, there was only a sudden burning orange flame and a ship girl lying motionless and unconscious on the water.

on the beach.

The admiral, holding the camera, stared wide-eyed at the sea.

The others also stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered.

"well??"

"Wait...wasn't she in the lead just now? Didn't she seize the initiative and launch the first attack, clearly sealing off the special ship girl's actions...how, how could this be..."

"The special ship girl didn't move at all!"

"They're sending artillery shells right in our faces!"

"How on earth did she launch that attack?!"

Chapter 2686 The Invisible Artillery Strike

On the beach, the admirals watching stared wide-eyed at the result on the sea, their faces filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

In the eyes of this group of people, the scene of the exercise just now was like this: After the exercise started, Rome stood on the water almost motionless, while the ship girl who challenged Rome launched a lightning-fast attack in an instant. Facing the opponent's sure-kill barrage, the slow-moving Rome had almost no room to dodge. She could only slowly drag her ship equipment in front of her to take the shells head-on... But before the opponent's shells reached Rome, the ship girl who attacked Rome did not know what happened. Suddenly, a huge explosion appeared on her body as if she had been attacked. Then, she was sent flying into the sky in a ball of sparks.

And then... the exercise ended.

The admirals on the sea stared blankly at the ship girl lying motionless on the water in the distance, her clothes tattered and her body charred black.

Is this a loss?

What... what's going on?

What...what happened?

"Eh? Eh?? Eh eh eh eh??" Nia covered her mouth, looking at the sea with an extremely shocked expression. She quickly turned her head, grabbing Xiaobai's sleeve in surprise and joy, and asked Xiaobai, "Xiaobai? This... does this mean Rome won? Eh? She actually won! What just happened? Rome actually defeated the other ship girl!"

Nia kept tugging at Xiaobai's sleeve, jumping up and down in excitement and jubilation.

As a vassal of Rome, Nia certainly knew one thing.

Even if Rome has amazing talent and top-tier ship equipment attributes, she is still just a level 1 newbie ship girl. Although training level doesn't determine everything in ship girl battles, the difference between level 1 and max level training is not as vast as heaven and earth, but it is at least as disparate as an adult fighting a child.

Logically speaking, Rome should have no chance of defeating the opposing ship girls.

The reason Rome was able to win this battle is most likely... no! 100% because Little White did something behind the scenes!

Faced with Nia's surprised gaze, Xiaobai simply smiled, took Nia's hand in return, and smiled back at her.

"Nia, you see, I told you, Rome wouldn't lose."

"Yes! Little White, you're right! I knew you were omnipotent, Little White!" Nia happily hugged Little White.

Perhaps due to excessive excitement, Nia unusually failed to control the degree and force of her contact with Xiaobai.

(This section contains censored text.)

"I'm still a long way from being omnipotent..." Xiaobai subconsciously hugged Nia's lower back, looked up at Nia and smiled.

As Xiaobai spoke, she seemed to remember something, a faint smile appearing on her face as she turned to look at the sea.

As expected... even Nia wasn't seen?

Xiao Bai squinted, gazing at the pink figure on the sea in the distance.

...Clearly, she was standing right there.

Right in Xiaobai's field of vision, on the sea surface where there should have only been Rome and the opposing ship girl, there was actually a third ship girl present. This ship girl neither dodged nor hid, standing openly under everyone's gaze, yet even so, none of the admirals who had been closely watching the battlefield, including Nia, noticed her presence.

Jean Bart, carrying battleship gear, stood not far behind the challenging ship girl.

At this moment, wisps of white smoke were still rising from the muzzles of the ship's main guns behind Jeanbart.

Jean Bart blinked at the ship girl lying on the sea surface, unable to fight. After thinking for a while, she reached into her pocket, pulled out a bag of red bean bread, tore open the packaging, and began to eat it in big bites.

When Jeanbart was halfway through his meal, he seemed to sense Little White's gaze.

She puffed out her cheeks and turned to look at Xiaobai, then jumped on the sea and waved excitedly at Xiaobai.

"..." Xiaobai smiled silently.

That kind of look is kind of cute.

While Xiaobai and Jeanbart were interacting remotely, Rome had already carried the ship girl, who had lost her ability to fight, onto the beach.

Rome walked up to the first admiral who was still dumbfounded. She bowed to the admiral in front of her, and then silently laid the charred and unconscious ship girl in front of him.

Rome withdrew.

The other admirals who were watching rushed forward.

"Come, come, someone who knows anything about this, take a look at the injury!"

"Hmm... The damage level of the ship's equipment has been confirmed as severe, and the severe damage protection function has been triggered."

"Judging from the location of the damage to the ship's equipment, the angle of the shelling was almost perfect..."

"A devastating blow... It seems the ever-victorious general truly did not anticipate this artillery barrage, and therefore did not take any defensive measures."

"It's also possible that this cannon shot happened to hit the moment when the ever-victorious general was momentarily stunned after his attack, thus affecting its range..."

"That was a really sharp shelling, or rather, a target practice-level shelling?"

"...So where did this shelling come from?"

Has anyone seen this?

"I've been keeping a close eye on the special ship girl's movements, but she doesn't seem to have taken any action..."

"That's too simplistic, too simplistic. She's a special ship girl. Do you think that just because she doesn't take action, she really doesn't? Have you ever wondered why she stood still the moment the exercise started? Maybe that's the condition for her to activate her ship equipment skill..."

"This……"

"..."

The admirals chatted amongst themselves around the unconscious ship girl, their gazes sweeping back and forth over her ragged clothes.

Finally, the first admiral to sign up couldn't hold back any longer.

"Stop looking! Stop looking! She's my marriage ship! How can you be so disrespectful?!" The first admiral to sign up knelt in front of the ship girl, took off his admiral's uniform and covered her with it, then picked her up in a princess carry. "Didn't someone record a video? Go watch the video! Go away, a bunch of grown men staring at someone else's wife, aren't you ashamed!"

After saying this, the admiral ignored the laughter of the people around him, carried the ship girl to Xiaobai and Nia, and bowed to them.

"Thank you very much for your guidance. I'll take my leave now." The admiral said, glancing at Roma, who was standing quietly behind Nia. He then pulled out a green basin from behind his back and handed it to Nia. "...I've witnessed the power of special ship girls. It's been an eye-opener. Consider this rapid repair device for treating your ship girl's ship equipment damage as my registration fee."

"Oh, I'm so sorry..." Nia quickly waved her hand when she saw that the other party was going to take charge of treating Rome.

"You still have hundreds of battles to fight today. We can't let you spend all that money." The admiral shook his head, resolutely stuffed the rapid repair device into Nia's arms, then bowed to everyone while holding his ship girl, and quickly left.

Nia blinked as she looked at the rapid repair device in her arms.

"Ah...this admiral is such a good person." Nia turned her head, activated the rapid repair device, and stood on tiptoe to place it on Rome's head. "Rome, thank you for your hard work."

"..." Rome didn't speak. She silently accepted the treatment from the rapid repair device, but her gaze shifted slightly towards Xiaobai's position.

Rome had no idea what had happened during the exercise; she hadn't done anything, yet her powerful opponent had fallen.

click!

A few seconds later, the rapid repair device on Rome's head shattered in two.

Rome's injuries were minor to begin with, and the rapid repair device allowed for a fairly quick recovery.

Upon seeing Rome restored, the second admiral to sign up excitedly ran out from the crowd of admirals.

"It's my turn! It's my turn!" The admiral patted his chest, pulling an aircraft carrier ship girl up with him. The two of them stared excitedly at Rome, their fighting spirit blazing. "We saw what happened just now! The attack methods of special ship girls are indeed unpredictable! But even so, we will not back down!"

“Then please go to the sea,” Xiaobai said with a smile, then suddenly looked at Rome, “Rome, do you need to rest? If you want to rest, we can wait for you.”

"..." Rome shook his head.

In the battle just now, Rome did nothing but stand on the sea.

This level of physical activity is only equivalent to a stroll in the garden, so Rome didn't need any rest at all.

Rome and the aircraft carrier girl walked onto the surface of the sea under the watchful eyes of both admirals.

The second challenger saw his ship girl follow Rome to the surface of the sea, and he excitedly turned to Xiaobai and Nia and started talking non-stop.

"Don't worry, win or lose this battle, I'll cover your rapid repair costs! Also, I'm from the 177th ranked naval base in the world, and this ship girl I trained is the proudest ship girl in my naval base! She's been with me since I was an admiral in the first chapter, and now in the eighth chapter, she's still the best girl in my naval base! Her greatest strengths are target acquisition and opening bombardment. Her individual combat strength ranks at least among the top 50 ace ship girls in the world, so even invincible special ship girls can't be careless in front of her..."

"The world's 50th ranked ace ship girl... Why does this sound so familiar?"

"That's exactly what the previous admiral said."

"Oh ho, and then you got blown up, huh?"

"really."

The admirals watching from the sidelines began to murmur amongst themselves upon hearing this.

Chapter 2687 A Bet

"You guys don't know anything! I've practiced against a naval base ranked in the top 50 in the world! Although we lost the practice, my ship girl held her own against their ace ship girl!" The second admiral shouted back, his face flushed, upon hearing the discussion behind him.

"Yes, yes, yes, we're not at a disadvantage." The admirals behind him grinned, but didn't argue.

……

The incident on the beach naturally did not affect the two ship girls on the sea.

After Rome and the aircraft carrier girl arrived at their battle positions, before Rome could even catch her breath, the aircraft carrier girl on the other side started shouting across the sea.

"You're the special ship girl, right! Nice to meet you—" The aircraft carrier ship girl released her ship rigging, and in an instant, rows of carrier-based aircraft poured out from the rigging like a swarm of bees, circling rapidly in the sky. "I saw your battle just now! Your ability is to launch tricky attacks from strange angles, right? That move of yours is very good; it can be a devastating blow to an opponent who is also a battleship. But I'm sorry, I'm an aircraft carrier ship girl. Whether it's range or target acquisition ability, I far surpass battleships, and I'm especially confident in my target acquisition ability! No matter how tricky your attack angle is, you won't escape my sensory network..."

The aircraft carrier ship girl shouted incessantly.

In this respect, she does resemble her husband, the admiral.

As Rome listened to the aircraft carrier girl's words, her heart skipped a beat the moment she mentioned her exceptional skill in enemy detection. Although she wasn't entirely sure why, Rome vaguely sensed that Admiral Lu Lin's methods for dealing with enemies seemed to be countered by her enemy detection abilities.

How to do it……

Being bombed by so many carrier-based aircraft... that would be very troublesome.

Rome looked up at the densely packed carrier-based aircraft in the sky. Just as she was thinking this, the countdown to the exercise began on the sea.

The countdown ended in a flash.

The exercise has officially begun.

"First win!" The opposing carrier girl's eyes lit up, and a green light rapidly flashed behind her, instantly spreading to the surrounding sea. "My ship equipment's ability is ultra-long-range target acquisition! In terms of target acquisition alone, I'm confident I'm the top ship girl in the entire world! Within my target acquisition range, I can clearly sense even the falling dust! Your attack methods are completely ineffective against me..."

boom! ! !

Before the aircraft carrier girl could finish speaking...

The next second, the same intense flames appeared behind the aircraft carrier girl once again, just like before.
