Elder brother's garrison

Submarines are a special type of ship that is both "slow" and "fragile".

As long as anti-submarine ship girls are deployed, even the most powerful submarines will suffer defeat and regret.

This is also the understanding of submarines among most admirals and ship girls in the world.

However... it seems the world always likes to play tricks on common sense.

The submarine currently dealing with Xiaobai and the pursuers is clearly completely different from the characteristics represented by the image of a "submarine".

The submarine in front of the two was moving and dodging underwater with incredible speed and freedom. It was like a real fish in the sea, skillfully maneuvering within the blast radius of various deep-sea bombs, perfectly dodging all the attacks of its pursuers. To be honest, if this submarine hadn't seemed determined to do something to Xiaobai's land-based ship equipment and hadn't been circling around it for so long, if it had been willing to escape, the pursuers really wouldn't have been able to stop it at all.

Furthermore, its extremely high evasion capability seems to be more than just the only strange feature of this submarine...

In the recent anti-submarine battle, the pursuer, relying on its bomb swarm tactics, finally managed to land a hit, delivering a depth charge squarely onto the submarine.

Logically speaking, submarines in this world are so fragile. With their low defense and low health, even a single hit from a top-tier anti-submarine ship girl would be fatal or severely damaged. Yet this submarine seemed completely unaffected, casually shaking itself and continuing to move around beneath the surface. If I hadn't witnessed the explosion just now, I would have even suspected that the submarine had dodged the attack again...

High evasion, high defense...

Good grief, a destroyer and a battleship, huh?

This submarine enemy, don't be too outrageous!

How can there be ships in this world with evasion comparable to top-tier destroyers and defense comparable to top-tier battleships at the same time?

"Chaser, you've actually done quite well." Xiaobai glanced at the underwater area with a complicated look, then bent down and gently patted the shoulder of the kneeling Chaser beside her, saying comfortingly, "Before you, no anti-submarine ship girl in the entire Chapter 8 sea area could hit this submarine even once... Although it really didn't have much effect, you at least did something that hundreds of anti-submarine ship girls couldn't do."

"Admiral, why are you comforting me like this? I'm not happy at all..." The pursuer immediately wore a bitter expression.

Xiao Bai gave a wry smile to his pursuers.

However, Xiaobai quickly suppressed her smile and silently continued to look for the submarine tracks beneath the surface of the sea.

This enemy submarine was still circling the land-based ship's equipment, seemingly intent on waging a war of attrition against Xiaobai.

In Xiaobai's perception, she even sensed that after enduring an attack from a pursuer, the submarine was moving more actively underwater.

"...Hmm, rationally speaking, perhaps this submarine enemy's armor isn't that high, and it might be something like Veneto and Littorio's invincible shield." Xiaobai stroked his chin and thought for a while. "Or...maybe it's a skill similar to Savoy's, where he transforms into a superhuman at night?"

Thinking of this, Xiaobai gently raised her hand and manipulated the main gun of the land-based ship to aim at the sea.

In conclusion, the pursuers' methods seem to be ineffective against this submarine.

Since things have come to this point, although he doesn't know if he can do it, Xiaobai said that he can only do his part.

Sparks began to crackle and flash, and intense light began to converge on the main guns mounted on the land-based ship.

The submarine beneath the surface seemed to sense the power of the land-based ship's main gun; in that instant, the submarine's movement speed appeared to increase several notches.

Preparations for the main cannon on the land were completed quickly. Xiaobai pointed at the water's surface, and with a loud boom, the silent laser beam from the laser cannon pierced through the sea instantly. The intense heat continued to bake the water's surface, and the seawater churned with white light, with bubbles bubbling and billowing across the entire surface.

Land-based shipboard systems indeed lack anti-submarine weapons, and the current anti-submarine capabilities of the ship can only rely on existing conditions and imagination.

The laser cannon sliced ​​through everything, its blazing beams sweeping across the waves and smoothly blasting towards the surface, reaching the enemy submarine's location.

Xiaobai had no doubt about the power of the laser cannon. She felt that as long as it hit her, it should be able to penetrate most armor.

Unfortunately, the laser cannon's slightly sluggish attack mode was clearly ineffective against the submarine enemy's terrifyingly high evasion capabilities.

The enemy submarine accelerated with a single, extremely quick tail-spin, escaping the area where the laser cannon was located. Xiaobai immediately followed, using the laser cannon as a blade to chase after the submarine. In that instant, the submarine displayed unparalleled agility and evasiveness. It rapidly darted and weaved beneath the surface, turning every direction—up, down, left, right, forward, and backward—as its movement space. The enemy submarine dodged in a chaotic flurry of movements. Before long, Xiaobai's laser cannon churned haphazardly on the seabed, yet it failed to even graz the enemy submarine once.

After the laser cannon's spray ended, Xiaobai looked at the smoking land-based main cannon and suddenly felt that this submarine enemy was harder to hit than a warship on the surface.

After a moment's thought, Xiaobai's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

—Yes, that seems to be true. Compared to surface warships, which can usually only dodge in a plane, submarines underwater have more room to dodge, even with vertical axes, making it a more three-dimensional area. Previously, submarines were easier to bully because they were relatively slow. Even with a lot of room to maneuver, they couldn't avoid attacks. But if submarine enemies were as agile and fast as this submarine, hitting it would be much more difficult than hitting a surface warship of the same level.

Thinking about it this way, the fact that the pursuers managed to hit the submarine by virtue of their numerical advantage wasn't entirely due to luck...

Xiao Bai glanced at the dejected pursuer and couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration in his eyes.

After the first shot was fired, the temperature on the surrounding sea surface rose significantly, and the air was filled with humid moisture.

Xiao Bai put away the ship's main gun and let out a soft breath.

The pursuers, seeing Xiaobai put down the main cannon, asked in disappointment.

"Admiral, are you also helpless against this submarine?"

"It's not that there's absolutely no way, it's just... sigh, I guess I'll have to resort to some tricks." Xiaobai sighed. After thinking for a moment, she said to the pursuer beside her, "Pursuer, whatever you see later, don't tell anyone else, okay?"

"?"

"Next, I might have to use some methods that are not typical of ship girls."

"……what?"

After speaking, Xiaobai slowly closed her eyes in front of her pursuers.

The pursuer looked at Xiaobai with a blank expression. She was about to ask Xiaobai what she meant when, a second later, before she could speak, she suddenly felt a cold wind blow up her back.

The pursuer instinctively shuddered and hugged his shoulders.

Alas!

It’s so cold!

...Hmm? Wait a minute, something's not right... Wasn't this sea area turned into a sauna by the Admiral's laser cannon?

Where does this cold air come from?

Thinking of this, the pursuer looked around curiously.

Then, the pursuers were astonished to see that the deep-sea aura that had been swirling around them suddenly began to rapidly condense, as if it had been controlled by something!

Chapter 3613 Missing?

Boom boom boom...

A scene that shocked the pursuers to their core unfolded before their eyes.

She saw the deep-sea energy churning and condensing wildly in the sea where she was located. The environment, which had been heated by the laser cannon, was rapidly cooling down under the convergence of the violent deep-sea energy, and the temperature plummeted to an ice cave.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to have been stirred into fragmented, disc-shaped pieces.

A large amount of deep-sea energy roared around, stirring up the seawater and creating a storm.

"What...what's going on, Admiral? Admiral..."

The pursuer looked back at Xiaobai, somewhat bewildered.

Then, just as the pursuers regained their attention on Shiro, she was shocked to discover that her admiral seemed to be at the center of this deep-sea aura storm.

Little White stood there, its once gentle and round eyes suddenly becoming narrow and cold, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Under the bewildered gaze of the pursuers, Little White slowly reached out and opened its palm towards the sea.

The moment Xiaobai made his move, the deep-sea aura storm in the sky raged once more, its howling sound becoming even sharper and more violent!

Xiao Bai's admiral's uniform fluttered violently in the storm, the fabric clinging to her body, clearly revealing her petite and slender figure. Her white hair also stood straight up to the sky amidst the churning of the storm, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring like the sea.

boom! ! !

A loud noise rang out!

The pursuer felt the land-based ship equipment beneath her feet begin to shake. She instinctively screamed and fell to the ground with a thud. She quickly grabbed onto the protrusion of the land-based ship equipment and nervously looked around.

"Huh? W-what's wrong?"

"Admiral? Admiral... Admiral??"

"Wow wow wow??"

The pursuers, in shock, gradually felt as if the land-based ship equipment beneath their feet was levitating.

And it seemed that, just as she had imagined, she did indeed take flight.

To be precise, it was a giant hand formed from seawater that lifted the land-based ship equipment up from the sea surface.

The pursuers stared in disbelief as the land-based ship equipment hovered in mid-air. Then, with a deafening roar, the entire body of water beneath the land-based ship equipment was lifted up!

In the raging sea, the enemy submarine seemed to sense the change in the ocean. It finally gave up on the land-based ship and fled swiftly to the other side of the sea.

However, by then it was clearly too late to escape.

A vast expanse of seawater enveloped a small area of ​​water, lifting it entirely into the air. By the time the enemy submarine realized something was wrong and tried to leave, it had reached the edge of the sea and all it saw was itself rising higher and higher, getting further and further away from the surface of the sea.

The pursuer, clinging to the bulge of the land-based ship's hull, stared blankly at the seawater.

It was at this moment that, thanks to the massive amount of seawater lifted up by "Little White" in one go, the pursuers were finally able to clearly see the true face of this submarine enemy with their naked eyes at the edge of the sea.

Upon seeing the true appearance of this "submarine," the pursuers' eyes widened in surprise.

"Eh... a humanoid figure???"

As the pursuers observed, at the edge of the massive, raised seawater, a small, humanoid girl, seemingly only the size of a destroyer or light cruiser, wearing a strangely shaped, long, oval-shaped transparent helmet, a blackish-purple bodysuit, her chest bulging, and her buttocks, shoulders, and thighs completely exposed, was pressed against the edge of the water. Like an underage prisoner locked in a cell, she stared at them with wide, beautiful, amethyst-like eyes, her face filled with shock and anger.

The pursuers gaped in astonishment.

Wait a minute... this young lady is the mysterious submarine that just had an anti-submarine battle with me??

She's quite cute!

Wait, that's not the point...

The pursuer quickly shook his head.

If this young girl is the submarine that just fought against me and the admiral... then that's strange.

Because of her appearance... she doesn't seem like a deep-sea creature...

Are deep-sea submarines not typically located at the lowest point of the deep-sea pyramid, where intelligence is lowest, there is no awareness, and the level of evolution is lowest?

Let alone humanoid shapes, they aren't even fully formed like mechanical fish.

However, the deep-sea submarine in front of her had slender and complete limbs, a delicate figure, and human-like movements. Even the expression on her face, which was filled with shock and anger as she stared at her, proved that she was completely different from a normal deep-sea submarine. She was a superior deep-sea creature with personality and intelligence comparable to the Dean of the Deep Sea!

The pursuer watched, his brow furrowing and relaxing, then furrowing again...

Looking at the deep-sea submarine angrily tapping on the edge of the water, she suddenly realized a new problem...

—Wait a minute, that's not right.

Come to think of it, I don't think I noticed before that this submarine... doesn't seem to have any deep-sea aura?

The pursuer wanted to tell Xiaobai this news, so she quickly turned around to speak.

Upon seeing Xiaobai now, the pursuer instinctively felt a pang of fear and shut his mouth.

Just as the pursuers finally saw the true form of this deep-sea submarine, "Little White"... or rather, the deep-sea will that was temporarily in control of Little White's body, naturally also noticed her.

Upon seeing that this submarine, which was supposed to be the enemy of the entire eighth chapter, unexpectedly possessed a complete human form and even had vivid emotions, the Will of the Deep Sea gently beckoned to the submarine.

boom----

The seawater that had been lifted into the air crashed back onto the surface with a splash.

A deafening roar came from the sea below.

The submarine, which had just been imprisoned in the sea, was now encased in a bubble that enveloped its body, and slowly flew to the pursuers and the will of the deep sea.

The little submarine inside the seawater bubble angrily raised its fist and kept pounding the edge of the bubble. Its big purple eyes were filled with lively anger as it looked at the little white creature outside.

"How interesting, so you're not the deep sea after all."

The will of the deep sea controlled Xiaobai's body, making a gesture of resting her chin on her hand. She gently examined the submarine that was angrily thrashing in the bubble in front of her, her gaze constantly sweeping over her.

"Hmm... You don't have the aura of the deep sea or the aura of a ship girl, which is quite similar to her."

The will of the deep sea reaches out, its fingers touching the water bubble.

The seemingly unbreakable edge of the bubble in front of the submarine was easily pierced by the gentle touch on Xiaobai's body, which was controlled by the will of the deep sea.

Little White's palm entered the water bubble and reached towards the submarine's neck.

As soon as the submarine saw Xiaobai's hand reach in, she angrily tried to grab it.

However, before the submarine could grab Little White, the seawater in the bubbles gurgled and grabbed the submarine's limbs, pulling it apart.

The submarine could only grit its teeth, glaring with furious purple eyes as it watched Xiaobai's hand slowly reach out and grab its neck.

"Can you speak? In human language?"

The will of the deep sea asked the submarine.

"..." The submarine just stared at her with its big eyes, extremely angry, and even twisted its body trying to struggle.

“Communication will be more troublesome if you can’t speak,” the Deep Sea Will said coldly. “Since you’re in human form, she might be more interested in you. Consider it a greeting gift. I’ll teach you to speak.”
