Elder brother's garrison

Page 242

Xiao Bai is the admiral of the world's number one naval base. If he really wants to support someone, he will provide perfect support from all angles.

In order to create powerful ship girls, Shiro provided Nia with a considerable amount of funds, which was not small even in her own naval base. She also asked Lexington to use her connections to obtain various land, sea and air transportation to airlift the company from the naval base.

With the resources in place, and even the strongest Europeans airlifted over, there's bound to be plenty of equipment.

The ship's equipment compartment is where the equipment brought by the company is stored.

Aircraft carriers have a lot of equipment space, even larger than ordinary gunboats. However, because aircraft carriers are ship girls that operate a large number of carrier-based aircraft, the number of carrier-based aircraft directly affects a ship girl's combat power. Therefore, the equipment space of a ship girl is usually filled with carrier-based aircraft, leaving no room for anything else.

However, if the company is willing to leave all the aircraft at the naval base, it can still bring over a considerable amount of equipment.

For example, right now, a lot of equipment has sprung up in the ship's space.

Almost every piece of equipment gleamed with a faint golden light under the sunlight.

Standing to the side, Xie Yun looked at the various cannon barrels piled up on the ground like garbage, and trembled with envy.

These are all gold-quality equipment.

Even Nia's ship girl couldn't help but breathe rapidly upon seeing this equipment.

As a ship girl, her feelings for her equipment are like a soldier's feelings for his sidearm—she loves them dearly.

Although they had just come out of the construction facility, they were still aware of the equipment's value.

Gold-tier equipment is second only to colored equipment in terms of its superior quality; in some ways, it might even be considered the strongest equipment.

The construction just now consumed a lot of resources, didn't it? Enough to drive Mr. Barbatos crazy, right? Unfortunately, the value of the equipment behind the Enterprise far exceeds the resources consumed in the construction.

This is the biggest gift Xiaobai brought this time.

"By the way, what did 'King's Treasure' mean just now?" Xiaobai asked the company with a smile.

"Hehe, that's what Ti Zi taught me. He said it would look more imposing this way," the company replied, scratching its head.

—Tirpitz really teaches everything.

Enterprise, such an innocent ship girl, has been spending too much time with Tirpitz lately, and it seems like she's starting to lean more towards the world of anime.

"By the way, Admiral, this is the most I can carry in my ship's equipment space," Enterprise said to Shiro, pointing to the equipment behind her.

The ship's equipment space is limited, and even with all the equipment crammed in, the ship girls can only carry enough for three ship girls. This is completely different from the equipment depot in their own naval base; this amount is barely enough to set up a stall on the street.

"Oh, I see. Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Thank you for your hard work." Xiaobai nodded and smiled at Nia. "Nia, come and take a look at this equipment."

Nia obediently stepped forward.

"After all, only one person from the company can be airlifted at a time, so the equipment we brought can only be enough for three people at most. I'm sorry." Xiaobai repeated the company's words. "In short, all of this is for you."

Suddenly stuffed with a bunch of equipment, Nia was speechless.

This morning when I left home, Xiaobai told Nia that she would help her build ship girls, so Nia is already prepared.

The wealth of the world's number one admiral is beyond my imagination.

But Xiaobai didn't say he was bringing equipment for himself.

These top-tier equipment items are mostly the main equipment for ship girls, even in super-advanced sea areas like the seventh and sixth. Using them will definitely not be a loss, and you won't even have to worry about replacing them for the rest of your life.

Compared to the resources consumed in building the previous structures, this small pile of equipment in front of us is far more valuable.

But Nia wouldn't refuse.

Because she also knew that without these equipment, even if she had a sufficient number of ship girls, she would not be able to compare with Ian's ship girls who already had considerable training and equipment of a certain grade.

The admiral's exercise is ultimately a contest of experience and depth.

Whoever has more money and resources will have stronger and more powerful ship girls, and they will be able to easily defeat the ship girls on the other side.

Therefore, these equipment are necessary.

"Thank you, Xiaobai." Nia accepted Xiaobai's equipment.

"Okay." Xiaobai felt relieved to see that Nia accepted the equipment without much hesitation. "Nia, this equipment is redundant in my garrison. Even if I don't give it to you, no one will use it normally. Rather than letting it gather dust in the armory, I might as well give it to you."

“Yes.” Nia nodded gratefully.

Nia felt that her relationship with Xiaobai was becoming less and less like friendship, and more like a relationship of being kept and being kept.

But that's okay.

Nia is now absolutely smitten with Xiaobai, and she's gradually stopped feeling awkward or uncomfortable receiving things from the person she likes.

The equipment setup for the ship girls is quite simple. Although each ship girl has her own preferred weapons, the equipment provided by Enterprise consists of general-purpose cruiser main guns. Cleveland and Helena can use these effectively.

After a period of research, Nia decided to equip Cleveland, Helena Wichita, and others with three sets of gold armor.

The company later went to the supply room and used the purple carrier-based aircraft that the Admiral's Guild had scavenged from the supplies that were being prepared to be sent to guilds in higher sea areas to replenish its ship equipment space.

The company representative emerged from the supply room looking uncomfortable, his brows furrowed.

What's wrong with the company?

"There are only torpedo bombers here..." the company said somewhat aggrievedly.

"Ah..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly, "After all, it's the First Sea Area, so you'll have to make do with that company a little."

The aircraft provided by the company in the naval base are top-of-the-line carrier-based aircraft, which are far superior to those currently scavenged in the First Sea Area. After being used to those top-of-the-line carrier-based aircraft, the company felt uncomfortable after being equipped with these purple torpedo bombers.

However, this is already quite good. Any aircraft-shaped equipment is extremely rare in the First Sea Area. Normally, you can't even find purple torpedo bombers here. It's incredibly lucky that Enterprise has filled all four slots with aircraft.

Xiao Bai then had Xie Yun take her to the Admiral's warehouse to select some equipment for Nia and the other four ship girls, almost emptying the Admiral's Guild's entire inventory from the past six months.

After everyone had prepared everything, they went downstairs satisfied.

Downstairs, the area inside and outside the circle was packed with people.

Today was supposed to be a day for everyone to relax and gossip, but the commotion that Xiaobai just caused spread throughout the city at an extremely fast pace.

The little princess took Nia to build ship girls, using all of the guild's savings.

This simple sentence, at this special time, attracted all the admirals who were still free.

The admirals had just been watching the stairwell blocked by a row of burly men in suits, listening to the faint sounds of construction coming from upstairs.

At first, the admirals on the first floor were quite excited by the construction noise.

After all, each failure is equivalent to losing a huge amount of money. These admirals find it quite novel and exciting to watch the rich build ships, even if they can only hear the sounds and think about how much money is being burned every minute.

—However, the sound unexpectedly lasted for a long time.

"Which shot is it?" the admirals asked each other as they listened to the sounds below.

"Seven or eight hundred shots?"

"It can't be that few, it feels like over a thousand rounds?"

"Who counted them?"

"Damn, who counts that for no reason?"

“…I counted, more than 1,080 shots.” One admiral raised his hand.

"Fuck."

"Fuck."

Praises rose and fell among the admirals.

"Over a thousand rounds were built?" Some admirals stamped their feet in envy. "How much did that cost?"

"Anyway, it's more than enough to pay a bounty on my life." Some admirals clicked their tongues in amazement.

"How many ship girls have been built?"

"I don't know, since you can't tell just by the sound," some admirals speculated. "But with over a thousand attempts, you should be able to build at least three or four ship girls."

"Oh……"

It's so good to be rich.

The admirals were all in tears.

At that moment, Barbatos's voice came through the other earpiece on the suit-wearing men's body. They turned their heads to listen, nodded, and then left in unison with their hands behind their backs.

It seems that the second floor of the guild is no longer blocked.

The construction of those two little ancestors is also finished.

The admirals breathed a sigh of relief, but none of them dared to go up.

They waited several more minutes before they finally heard footsteps coming from up the stairs.

It was very chaotic, a rattling sound, like the sound of more than ten people walking together.

Xiaobai and Nia appeared before everyone first.

Then, Enterprise, Veneto, Rome, Empire, the Fubuki sisters, Pagina, Sukhbaatar, and seventeen other ship girls followed behind them like a women's army.

The girls, dressed in colorful clothes, chatted amongst themselves amidst the birdsong and fragrant flowers, like strolling through a temple fair.

The admirals instinctively made way for her, and Xiaobai, Nia, and the ship girls slowly walked out of the admiral's guild along this path.

The admirals stared as if they'd seen a ghost at the ever-growing number of ship girls behind Xiaobai.

When Shiro first came to the sea city, she was followed by only the Fubuki sisters and Veneto, along with five other ship girls.

In less than a week, the number has skyrocketed to seventeenth place.

Not counting Cleveland, eleven new ship girls have appeared around Shiro in the past few weeks.

Heavens above! If this rate of reproduction is left unchecked, this little princess might actually be able to create an army!

While the admirals all expressed their envy, they were genuinely envious.

The number of ship girls following Xiaobai and Nia is increasing. When they walk down the street, not only the admirals but even the vendors can't help but frequently turn their eyes to them.

Instead of returning to the Admiral's Guild, Xiaobai and her companions headed towards the fourth node sea area.

Chapter 305 I, V, am quite vengeful.

Because the fourth node is closed, buses to that area have stopped, so you can only get there on foot.

Due to the changes in the sea, the number of vendors that were originally densely packed in the direction of the fourth node in the city has decreased as Xiaobai and his group have moved forward.

Nia's new ship girls looked around with curious eyes.

They possess knowledge of human society while constructing devices, but what's in their minds is different from what their eyes see. The direct stimulation of color and light transmitted from their eyes to their brains is incomparable to mere memory.

"Admiral, is it just my imagination? There seem to be fewer and fewer vendors." Takao's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he spoke to Nia with a puzzled look.

“Yes, that’s how it is.” Nia nodded. “Because the fourth node is currently under sea closure…”

"Sea blockade?"

"Well, you should ask Xiaobai about that," Nia said, passing the question to Xiaobai.

The new ship girls all looked at Shiro, as if they were all curious little children.

“The fourth node is now occupied by the deep-sea amphibious fleet, so it’s too dangerous for others,” Xiaobai said.

She thought for a while before adding, "And there might be Dean Shenhai inside too."

"Dean of the Deep Sea?!" The new ship girls were startled.

It's no wonder they were startled. These new ship girls had only just stepped out of the construction facility, and each of them was almost completely untrained. Although Helena and Wichita had obtained powerful weapons, even the strongest weapons were useless if the user's skill level wasn't high enough.

The Dean of the Deep Sea is the strongest and most terrifying being in the Deep Sea. How could they possibly defeat him?

It's like playing a game where a hero fights a demon king. You just created an account, and with level 1 stats, the system gives you a dragon-slaying sword. Then you're teleported to the demon king thousands of miles away, told you've been enhanced and you should go and deliver yourself to him.

Then I went up and started hacking at the opponent, but every hit missed. The opponent then slapped me and killed me instantly.

This is absolutely trash, absolutely.

Seeing the group of ship girls whose expressions had changed, Xiaobai immediately realized what was going on.

She almost forgot that these ship girls had just come out of the construction facility and were still sensitive to the term "Dean of the Deep Sea".

"It's alright, it's just the Deep Sea Dean." Xiaobai waved her hand and said to the group of ship girls in front of her, "The strength of the Deep Sea Dean is related to the strength of the Deep Sea resentment, so even if there is a Deep Sea Dean in the first chapter, it won't be too strong."

Xiao Bai didn't really have any strong feelings about the term "Dean of the Deep Sea".

Aren't both Deepsea Yamato and Pachina Deepsea Depots? One is a century-old depot, and the other is a magnificent ship that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Deepsea Yamato. Yet, they both obediently stay by my side.

Moreover, it's not like Xiaobai hasn't fought against the Dean before. During the last few days of Yuxiu's time, Xiaobai fought against the Dean along with Hood and Saratoga. The Dean at that level was clearly much weaker than Abyssal Yamato and Pachina. Although the ship equipment was an aircraft carrier with extraordinary potential, it was obvious that the Abyssal Dean, whose wisdom and rationality had not been fully developed, was the type who preferred fists to brains.

Therefore, the Dean of the Deep Sea is not as terrifying as others think.
