Elder brother's garrison

Page 1928

There is only one world's tenth admiral, while the position of world's eleventh admiral is constantly being fiercely contested by countless admirals, and the faces of the admirals in this position are naturally changing every day.

This is the absolute strength gap.

Therefore, in the circle of top admirals, the top ten admirals have always enjoyed the same hot treatment as celebrities, and even the admiral guild often has to give them some face.

"Admiral Li Hua! The eighth admiral in the world!"

"Admiral Li Hua, what brings you here!"

“我听说李华提督前几天刚刚打穿8-2海域，如今已经和其余的前十提督们抵达了8-3海域，正在角逐8-3海域的首杀呢！”

"So Admiral Li Hua is also interested in special ship girls after all!"

"I knew it! At least one of the top ten admirals had to show up today!"

"Admiral Li Hua..."

The admirals swarmed around Li Hua as if they had seen an idol, instantly crowding around him.

Chapter 2690 The Arrival of Admiral Li Hua

The moment the top ten admirals appeared in the 8-2 sea area, it naturally caused a large-scale reaction from the admirals present.

In an instant, a large number of admirals swarmed around Li Hua like fans of a celebrity, their faces beaming with excitement.

"Admiral Li Hua! Do you remember me? We met three years ago at the admirals' gathering you organized! I am..."

"Admiral Li Hua, the top ten admirals are conquering the seas so fast! I rushed to Sea Area 8-2 just so I could fight alongside you, but I didn't expect you to have already reached 8-3 by the time I got here! At this rate, it'll probably be just around the corner for you to conquer all the seas in Chapter 8!"

"Admiral Li Hua, you are my idol! You are my god—"

Are all the top ten admirals currently in the 8-3 area?

"Admiral Li Hua, did you also come here because you heard about the special ship girls?"

"Are the other admirals from the top ten also coming?"

"..."

As the admirals surrounded Admiral Li Hua, a flood of greetings and conversations overwhelmed them.

Despite being under the watchful eyes of all the admirals, Admiral Li Hua seemed to be used to such a scene. He remained calm and composed, and in response to their words, he simply smiled gently at the admirals in front of him.

"Good afternoon, colleagues. I'm just here to take a look around."

Thank you for your support.

"You don't need to treat me as someone special. I'm just an ordinary admiral like you."

"Nice to meet you."

"Yes, I heard that the special ship girls were holding a tournament in chapter 8-2, so I was a little curious and came to check it out."

"The other top ten admirals are still busy with the 8-3 sea area conquest. They can't spare the time for now, so they probably won't be coming. As for me... haha, it's a bit of a fluke. I was lucky. This morning I led a team across a three-star ditch, thus completing the 8-3 phase of exploration. So the progress of the 8-3 sea area conquest is slightly ahead of the others."

"To celebrate passing the Three Star Gorge, I gave the ship girls at the naval base a day off, so I'm all free now. You can see I don't have any ship girls with me."

"..."

Admiral Li Hua skillfully dealt with the admirals in front of him.

Admiral Li Hua was generous and humorous in his speech, and he gave others a very gentle and easy-going feeling.

After speaking with Admiral Li Hua, the surrounding admirals all showed expressions of satisfaction and honor.

No wonder he's one of the top ten admirals!

Despite holding a high position, he never acted superior to others, and was gentle without being overly friendly.

That's the style of a true master!

"Huh? Admiral Li Hua, so you're saying you didn't bring any ship girls with you today? Are you not planning to participate in the special ship girl tournament?" an admiral asked curiously.

"I'm just here to check things out." Admiral Li Hua chuckled and nodded. "The existence of special ship girls is quite rare. Now that one of the three has finally appeared, even we top ten admirals are very interested in her. The other top ten admirals are all busy conquering the 8-3 sea area and can't spare the time, so I came here on their behalf to see the legendary special ship girl."

"Even the top ten admirals are interested in special ship girls?!"

"Of course."

"Could it be... that even the top ten admirals feel that a naval base with special ship girls has the ability to threaten their position?" one admiral suddenly asked.

The question was so abrupt, it seemed to pierce Admiral Li Hua's spine, causing the other admirals around him to pause in surprise.

The atmosphere around them fell silent for a moment.

However, the admirals did not condemn the person who had just asked the question. Instead, they stared intently at Li Hua, their eyes revealing concern and inquiry.

It was obvious... that although the others remained silent, they also longed for Admiral Li Hua's response to this question.

"Haha, I don't deny it." Seeing the silent yet curious expressions on everyone's faces, Admiral Li Hua showed no embarrassment. Instead, he smiled at the admiral who had asked the question. "The top ten admiral positions are determined by the most capable. If there really is a naval base with abilities superior to mine, what does it matter if someone takes my place in the top ten? I welcome any challenge... However, of course, I myself will not obediently give in. The glory of being a top ten admiral is now in my hands. This is the professional recognition of many colleagues and the acknowledgment of many seniors. Since that's the case, I will naturally use everything to protect this glory. If others want to take it, they'll have to have the ability first."

As Admiral Li Hua finished speaking, his body trembled, exuding a comfortable and masterful aura.

"As expected of Admiral Li Hua!"

"That's the aura of a big shot!"

"Admiral Li Hua, well said!"

"This is how the top ten admirals should be! So dashing!"

The admirals smiled with admiration and applauded.

Admiral Li Hua basked in the respectful gazes of those around him, his face still bearing a calm and composed smile.

"Speaking of which, the special ship girls have been holding their tournament in the 8-2 area all morning, right? How's it going?" Admiral Li Hua asked, looking around. "You've all been watching for quite a while, haven't you? Just how strong are those special ship girls?"

"This..." Upon hearing Admiral Li Hua's words, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding admirals froze, and then they all revealed strange expressions.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Hua asked, puzzled.

“Admiral Li Hua… that special ship girl has indeed fought on the sea for a very long time… and defeated hundreds of challengers, but… this…” an admiral scratched his head awkwardly and said to Li Hua, “To be honest… although I have watched hundreds of battles of special ship girls, I still don’t quite understand special ship girls.”

"What do you mean?" Admiral Li Hua was even more puzzled.

"Admiral Li Hua, you may not know this, but this special ship girl seems to possess a magical ship equipment skill from birth," an admiral explained to Li Hua. "She can launch artillery fire on other ship girls without anyone noticing, achieving the miraculous effect of defeating them in one strike!"

"Oh?" Admiral Li Hua became interested. "But aren't there aircraft carrier ship girls in Chapter 8 who have an instinctive sense of danger and even outstanding target acquisition abilities? Even they couldn't dodge the special ship girls' shelling?"

"Yes... that special ship girl's shelling, besides being invisible, seems to have a guaranteed hit effect." Another admiral sighed. "My ship girl is quite battle-hardened, and she has developed an instinctive sense of danger from shelling. This morning, I sent her to fight a drill with the special ship girl, but she was still instantly killed by a single shot."

At this point, the other admirals echoed his sentiments.

For a time, there were different opinions.

Some say that special ship girls have mastered the power of rules and can block all of their opponents' escape routes with a single shot. As the saying goes, the greatest truths are the simplest, and one move can kill the enemy.

Some say that special ship girls' ship girl skills are substitute users, and in reality, they have a substitute that can perform Ora Ora attacks to help them attack enemies.

There are also claims that special ship girls can enchant their shells, thereby launching a guaranteed hit attack that hits all enemies and is a double-hit barrage.

...It's getting more and more mysterious.

Admiral Li Hua looked at the admirals in front of him who were having a heated discussion, his eyes gleaming.

"A stealthy and sure-hit artillery barrage, huh..." Admiral Li Hua nodded, raising his hand to touch his nose. "Hmm... if that's really the case, then I'm quite interested."

"Huh? Admiral Li Hua, what do you mean by that? Have you changed your mind and want to spar with the special ship girls too?" The admirals around them stared wide-eyed, like dogs that had caught a whiff of a scent, and looked over with surprise.

"Haha... My ship girls haven't returned yet. If you want to spar, you'll have to wait until I give them a call." Admiral Li Hua chuckled and spoke slowly, but he did not deny what the other admirals said.

"Holy crap! Admiral Li Hua is really going to sign up for the ship girl competition!"

"Top 10 admirals versus special ship girls! Wow! This is huge news!"

"If she can really defeat Admiral Li Hua in the exercise, wouldn't that mean she truly possesses the power of a top ten admiral?"

"I've been dreaming of this moment!"

"This is awesome! Hey!! Everyone in line, make way for Admiral Li Hua!!!"

"What? Admiral Li Hua is also applying? Admiral Li Hua, come quick! I'll give you this spot!"

"Wow! Li Hua!"

Come here, come here!

The admirals were overjoyed and shoved Li Hua all the way. When the admirals in front of them heard that the top ten admirals also had to queue, they were pleasantly surprised and greeted Li Hua, making way for him.

In no time, Admiral Li Hua moved through the ranks without hindrance and arrived directly at the registration area.

"Hahaha... Brothers, you're really enthusiastic." Admiral Li Hua laughed as he looked around, then his gaze fell on the registration area in front of him.

The so-called martial arts tournament registration area was actually just a set of tables and chairs set up next to the tent.

Sitting at the table was a fairly pretty black-haired female admiral. She wore red-rimmed glasses, had fair skin, and held a densely written registration book in her hands. Amid the bustling crowd, she seemed to possess an unusually quiet aura.

Although this black-haired girl's appearance is not as beautiful as some of the ship girls who are as beautiful as angels, if you look at her for a long time, she does have a unique kind of beauty.

Li Hua's admiral's gaze was drawn to the young female admiral.

"Hmm? This young lady looks unfamiliar." Admiral Li Hua asked the black-haired girl, "I don't think I've seen you in Chapter Seven or Chapter Six. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"Luo Lian," Luo Lian answered calmly, then tapped the registration form with the tip of her pen. "Name?"

"My name is Li Hua."

"The name of the garrison?"

"Li Hua Garrison Headquarters".

"Rankings of naval bases?"

"Eighth in the world." Li Hua puffed out his chest, head held high, looking confident.

"Mm." Luo Lian nodded calmly, her hands scribbling notes.

“…” Li Hua.

Chapter 2691 recalls being ruled by Xiaobai...

Admiral Li Hua stared blankly at Luo Lian.

After Admiral Li Hua stood in front of her, Luo Lian seemed not to have looked up at him even once, as if she had no interest in him whatsoever.

This scene left Li Hua with a somewhat uneasy feeling.

Normally, his status as a top ten admiral is particularly useful. When attending parties, whether flirting with girls or making friends, Admiral Li Hua only needs to stand in front of anyone who interests him and say, "Hello, beautiful lady, I am Li Hua." No matter how aloof a goddess or how spoiled a girl is, they will all look at him with admiration and surprise, wishing they could just give him their phone number and all sorts of social media accounts. This approach works very well for female admirals, and of course, it works even better for male admirals.

Of course.

Although Admiral Li Hua often uses this method for socializing, strictly speaking, he is not a playboy who manipulates other people's feelings.

For Admiral Li Hua, making friends was simply making friends.

Enter only your life, not your body.

This is Admiral Li Hua's motto regarding social conduct.

...We've gone a little off-topic.

In short, the reason why Admiral Li Hua had thought so much before was because the behavior of this Admiral named Luo Lian was really strange.

Why doesn't she even glance at me?

Although Admiral Li Hua maintained a calm and composed demeanor, he was inwardly starting to have doubts.

Normally, his title of eighth in the world is extremely useful. Even admirals who aren't particularly interested in him should at least give him a serious once they hear he's eighth in the world. But this little girl named Luo Lian not only didn't react to his title at all, she didn't even glance at him once from beginning to end!

Is she trying to do the opposite and get her attention in this way?

Admiral Li Hua stared at Luo Lian, thinking with a touch of narcissism.

But soon, Admiral Li Hua smiled helplessly and dismissed his thoughts.

...Impossible. Admiral Li Hua said that he had seen quite a few people, and there was a clear difference between someone who was genuinely uninterested in him and someone who was pretending to be uninterested.

The Luo Lian in front of me truly has no interest in me.

"Miss Luo Lian, won't you even look up at me?" Admiral Li Hua asked Luo Lian.

“…Hmm?” Upon hearing this, Luo Lian looked up at Li Hua. “…Oh, sorry, I’ve been registering all day, I’m a little tired.”

"...That's an answer that's hard to refuse."

"...?"

"I'm the world's eighth admiral, after all. Give me some respect." Admiral Li Hua smiled at Luo Lian.
