Elder brother's garrison

"Oh, Ringo-neechan, how old are you this year?"

"...Twenty-three."

She was only seven years older than me.

Didn't they say she was at most eighteen when she became an admiral? She had just come of age.

After learning that Xiaobai was Lu Yun's sister, Ringo's attitude towards her became inexplicably much better, and she answered all her questions.

The two of them asked and answered questions, and the air around them gradually filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Nia watched helplessly as Xiaobai and Linqin stood by.

She sighed inwardly and turned her gaze to the sea.

The exercise has begun, but the ship girls still haven't made a move.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

As for why Rome hasn't taken action yet, it's because it's Veneto's teaching.

This is called a battle of momentum.

When fighting the deep sea, because the deep sea has no rationality or intelligence, there is no such thing as "state". Therefore, the deep sea amphibious ships will neither perform exceptionally well when in good condition nor perform abnormally when in bad condition. Their combat power is always a steady line.

However, ship girls are different. Ship girls are creatures with rich emotions and extremely high intelligence. Their mood greatly affects their condition. When they are in good condition, they can even exert combat power far beyond what they normally can achieve. When they are in bad condition, they will exert below-average strength.

Therefore, adjusting one's status is a very important thing for ship girls.

At this moment, the Romans are not making a move, but are using the contest of momentum to raise their own level to the peak, while crushing the opponent's spirit.

However, on the other hand, the opposing side has lost its momentum.

From the moment Rome saw them on the beach, she could tell that the five ship girls opposite her had no desire to fight; they preferred the end of the battle to victory.

With this mindset, while they might not surrender outright, they also won't be able to unleash much of their true strength.

As expected, Ian's ship girls could no longer tolerate this long standoff.

Several destroyers standing in the front row, led by a light cruiser, rushed toward this place at high speed, their expressions filled with inexplicable fear, as if venting their frustration.

Cleveland and Helena Wichita's eyes sharpened, and they stomped their feet hard on the water, rushing forward through the splashing water.

Even if she wasn't in good shape, the opposing team consisted of ship girls with an average level of nearly 40. Apart from herself, Cleveland's other two front-line ship girls were only around level 20. Even if she could unleash combat power exceeding that of a typical level 20 ship girl thanks to her rich combat instincts, she would still be struggling against four genuine level 40 ship girls.

In the blink of an eye, cannons and torpedoes created fiery red splashes on the sea.

The last light carrier ship girl in Ian's back row also made her move.

After all, she was a light carrier, a high-level ship girl with anti-air capabilities. As she opened her ship rig, a large number of planes circled and soared into the sky, flying towards Cleveland and her group.

The reason why aircraft carrier ship girls are so precious is because they possess a level of firepower that other ship types often cannot match.

When facing two or three enemies, numbers are meaningless against aircraft carriers, because their sheer number of planes will accurately and swiftly take over the enemy's skies like a swarm of insects, relentlessly bombing the enemy's territory.

This is why the combat effectiveness of aircraft carrier ship girls often determines the outcome of a battle.

Ian's light carrier is like this. Except for her, all the other ship girls in the fleet are below level 40, but the average level of her fleet is level 40. This is because in the long battles, this ship girl has occupied almost all the MVPs in the battles, and her level has been raised to a very high level, pulling everyone else down a level, thereby raising the average level of the entire fleet.

This light carrier is also the only ship girl in Ian's fleet whose mental state has not approached a breakdown.

"Go." The light carrier pointed towards Cleveland, and planes began to circle overhead.

However, the next second, another rumbling sound came from behind Cleveland and the others.

The Empire opened its ship rig, and countless carrier-based aircraft poured out, covering the sky above Cleveland.

The admirals on the beach began to stir.

The Empire has never fought and doesn't have that kind of imposing presence, so most of the admirals on the beach believe that the Empire is not a powerful ship type. Otherwise, Xiaobai and Nia wouldn't have kept the Empire by their side all this time and not let her go on expeditions.

But to everyone's surprise, the Empire's first move startled everyone present.

The Empire is also a ship girl force with air superiority?!

The significance of aircraft carriers needs no further explanation. They are a crucial type of ship, and when it comes to high-altitude areas and conquering large deep-sea territories, aircraft carriers are an absolutely indispensable combat force.

The Empire, looking exhausted, sleepy, and wanting to go to bed, piloted its carrier-based aircraft toward the light carrier girl's fleet.

In an instant, the Empire suppressed the light carrier ship girl fleet.

After all, the Empire is an aircraft carrier ship girl, and its number of carrier-based aircraft is much higher than that of light carrier ship girls. So even though her training level has not improved much under Enterprise's training and is only a little over level 10, she is still able to go toe-to-toe with the light carrier ship girl in front of her due to her numerical advantage.

"Empire! Well done!" Rome looked at the carrier-based aircraft that were gradually being taken over by its sister's fleet in the sky and couldn't help but give Empire a thumbs up.

Aircraft carrier girls are aircraft carrier girls after all; sometimes you really have to admit they're amazing.

The Empire gave a soft yawn.

She was quite sleepy and wanted to go to bed.

"Sister, hurry up and finish this so I can go home and read." Empire looked at Rome with a look that said, "Sister, you won't let your little sister down, will you? Veneto's sister is watching."

Chapter 314 Shili Slope Ship Girls [Third Update]

Being looked at with such suspicion by the empire, which is like a sister empire, felt like a stab to the back of the head, even for someone as carefree as Rome.

"What can I do? I'm desperate too. My sister wanted me to win gracefully. If I didn't win smartly, I'd get beaten up again when I got back," Rome explained to the Empire in despair.

For the past three days, Veneto has been even more attentive to Rome than ever before, giving her almost no chance to catch her breath. After a short rest, he would drag Rome into the fourth node and go on a rampage, leaving Rome to fend for herself in the deep-sea fleet.

As Rome's training level and skills improved, the daily goal of 100 barrels gradually became impossible to achieve.

As the fighting progressed, those deep-sea amphibious ships became increasingly difficult to damage Rome.

However, Veneto just smiled coldly at this, and then made time to replenish the remaining one hundred barrels each day through a sisterly exercise.

The ship girls of Nia saw Rome's miserable treatment and felt heartbroken. They felt that Veneto and Rome were not sisters, but enemies.

But everything comes at a price. While the intensity of Rome's individual training was outrageously high, it also significantly improved her skills.

For example, after three days of horrific suffering, Rome's current skill level is close to level 90.

What does level 90 mean?

This is a level that can no longer be reached simply through training.

Talent, hard work, and opportunity are all indispensable.

This is the level of ship girls who can conquer the seas in the top-tier waters.

Rome may be the first ship girl in the world to reach level 90 without even leaving the first chapter's sea area.

"Oh." The Empire simply nodded in response to Rome's explanation.

You won in a cool way, didn't you?

The Empire stretched out its hand and waved to the vast number of carrier-based aircraft in the sky.

rumble rumble

The carrier-based aircraft in the sky received the instructions, and their flight paths suddenly changed, heading straight for the enemy's carrier-based aircraft.

The light carrier opposite felt the pressure on her suddenly increase. She watched as her carrier-based aircraft were being devoured as quickly as lambs caught in a wolf pack.

The aluminum blocks turned into scrap iron and slid helplessly from the sky onto the water's surface.

This is the method the company taught the Empire for controlling carrier-based aircraft.

Win by quantity.

This is the combat method that the company excels at. When it comes to winning by sheer numbers, the company is a master. Back in the day, it could take on a hundred people at once, and that was all thanks to this method of controlling carrier-based aircraft.

She is a special ship girl whose individual combat power increases exponentially, rather than linearly, as the number of carrier-based aircraft released increases.

In just three days, although the technology could not be fully transferred to the Empire, those who learned even a little bit benefited greatly. It was still easy to use it to crush a light carrier with fewer carrier-based aircraft than their own.

Enterprise and Empire may look cute and have a free and gentle personality, but when they fight, they employ a complete and utterly mad dog-like tactic.

Large numbers of carrier-based aircraft surged toward the enemy's carrier-based aircraft as if they were free, and the pressure piled up like a tsunami, making it difficult for Ian's light aircraft carrier to breathe.

In the battle in the sky, the Empire's victory is only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, on the sea, Ian's four ship girls were also having a tough time.

They were nearly 160 ship girls combined, but facing the three ship girls in front of them who were only a little over 100 levels combined, they still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

too strong.

It's simply too strong.

Ian's four ship girls watched as Cleveland, leading two other ship girls, moved around them like ghosts, dodging the dense barrage of their cannon fire and then unleashing a barrage of fire from all sorts of tricky angles. They could only passively dodge and defend.

Who actually has more people?

Which of these ship girls is actually the highest-ranking?

Ian's ship girls didn't have much fighting spirit to begin with, and after facing off against Cleveland and her group, they felt the fighting spirit emanating from them and panicked even more.

They could see the turrets on the ship's rigging behind Cleveland Helena and Wichita, gleaming in the sunlight.

They might not recognize the cannon's shape, but they should at least recognize the color.

Those were three complete sets of gold-plated equipment; their firepower was far beyond what the four of them could withstand.

"Bang!" A failed dodge resulted in a blow to the ship's rigging by a Cleveland shell, and tiny metal fragments and thick black smoke exploded from her body.

A single shot from Cleveland's golden cannon severely damaged the destroyer.

"Ah!" The destroyer's equipment malfunctioned instantly after being hit, and it stumbled and fell into the water, separated from the main force.

On the beach, seeing the almost one-sided scene, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh.

Just a week ago, Ian's ship girls were among the top five in the first sea area.

At that time, Ian was full of vigor and ambition, and everyone envied him.

At that time, Nia was dismissed from her post and had a lot of debts. She was finally taken in by the Admiral's Guild, but she was ignored by others. No one was willing to team up with her, and she could only silently level up in the first stage. She was in a really bad situation.

However, a week later, Nia not only regained her position as admiral, but also acquired so many powerful ship girls and equipment. Ian's status plummeted, and he went from being the envy of thousands to being a rat kicked out of the admiral's guild, suffering a terrible fate.

All of this is because of one person.

It was all because of the white-haired girl standing next to Nia.

Sometimes, chance can be truly terrifying. The girl simply paused briefly, as if she had encountered something interesting during her leisure time, and playfully squatted down, making a few ripples on the water with her hand, thus changing the fate of two people.

Everyone turned to look at Ian.

Ian calmly watched his ship girls being overwhelmed on the sea, without showing any extra emotion.

He watched indifferently, as if watching a rather boring movie, as his own ship girls were slowly driven into a corner by Nia's ship girls.

"Do you think this is interesting?" Nia frowned as she looked at Ian's indifferent expression.

This is no longer a drill.

Ian's ship girls had absolutely no desire to fight; it would be more accurate to say they were just putting on a brave face rather than actually fighting.

He was merely trying to maintain his last shred of dignity in front of a thousand people so as not to be defeated.

Ian coldly turned his gaze away.

“Your ship girls have absolutely no desire to fight,” Nia said.

"and then?"

Why did you still request an exercise from me?

"Because I want to win."

"You can't win."

The most important thing Nia learned from Xiaobai was courage; at this point, she was able to face the man who had humiliated her.

Nia's words seemed to finally ignite Ian's anger, who had been calm all day.

His eyes instantly became bloodshot, and he stared angrily at Nia's face.

Nia could see the anger burning like a tangible flame on Ian's veiny face.

"Bitch, I'll say it one last time: I will win!"

Nia was startled by Ian's sudden outburst of emotion and took a step back.

She wasn't afraid; she just stared blankly at Ian's expression, which seemed to want to devour her whole.
