Elder brother's garrison

Indeed, compared to men dressed properly, the president of the association, Er Gou, whose swimsuit was rather revealing and bizarre, attracted more attention on a different level.

President Er Gou smiled as he looked at the man, then turned on the loudspeaker and softly called out, "The second round begins."

The man took a deep breath.

Since it was a best-of-three series, he only needed to lose one more game to leave. Thinking of this, he felt a little more at ease. He turned around and looked at the ship girls behind him.

"You go first," the man said, pointing to a heavy cruiser ship girl behind him.

The chosen heavy cruiser girl turned pale, but she had no choice but to step onto the water.

The man looked at the ship girl behind Xiaobai. He no longer cared about the outcome of the battle; all he wanted to know was who the ship girl Xiaobai had sent out was.

—If it were that ship girl who slapped herself, her situation would be much better.

After all, according to the ship girl, that ship girl was a battleship. Battleships, being large ships with heavy firepower, have gunnery capabilities far superior to other ship types. It's normal for them to defeat a heavy cruiser ship girl. If I lose the second match, the admirals around me can accept it, and I can salvage some of my dignity.

The man kept his eyes glued to the ship girls behind Xiaobai as he thought this.

Bismarck walked up behind Little White and said a few words to him.

Xiaobai nodded to Bismarck, smiled, looked at the ship girls behind her, and said a few words to them.

Then, to the man's astonishment, the ship girls gathered together and started playing rock-paper-scissors with serious expressions.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

"rock-paper-scissors!"

"cloth!"

"Yay!" Changchun jumped up, brandishing his peace sign. "Changchun won!"

"Go Changchun!" Xiaobai encouraged Changchun.

Changchun blushed and nodded to Xiaobai, then released her ship equipment and headed towards the sea.

The ship girls in Changchun are much smaller than battleships, and even smaller than heavy cruisers.

The onlookers were momentarily stunned when they saw Changchun, carrying a backpack the size of a schoolbag, heading towards the sea.

With the admirals' keen eyesight, it's easy to see that this is the ship equipment of a destroyer.

This guy wants to use a destroyer to fight a heavy cruiser?

The admirals couldn't help but reveal a rather peculiar expression.

As we all know, heavy cruiser ship girls, as artillery ship girls, cannot compare to battleships or battlecruisers with larger caliber guns in terms of pure damage. However, heavy cruiser ship girls have an advantage that battleships or battlecruisers do not have: their guns have a higher hit rate against smaller ships like destroyers compared to battleships. And although a heavy cruiser ship girl's guns may not be able to seriously damage a heavily armored battleship ship girl in one shot, the moderate damage is enough to sink a destroyer.

In other words, heavy cruiser girls are essentially the natural counter to destroyers.

This admiral actually sent a destroyer to the front of a heavy cruiser? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

The man watched Changchun race towards the sea, and his thoughts sank.

—Is this a way of forcing myself to play all three games and subjecting myself to more scrutiny?

That's really stupid.

A sense of relief welled up in the man's heart.

Losing 0-2 is embarrassing, but losing 1-2 is not so embarrassing; it's a close defeat.

Don't forget, this battle isn't considered a loss unless the ship girls are severely damaged. Since you've given me this opportunity, how can I not cherish it? Anyway, I was the one who sent out the ship girls first, and you all volunteered to use ship girls that I counter.

Thinking of this, the man felt a surge of excitement. He gazed at his own ship girl on the sea and subconsciously straightened his back.

"The second contestant has arrived, the battle begins!"

"call out"

"boom!!!"

Chapter 743 Ascension

The battle began once again at the sound of Guild Master Er Gou's voice.

And then, it ended once again.

Under everyone's gaze, the white-haired destroyer walked to the opposite side of the heavy cruiser without any fear. When the battle began, she did not accelerate to approach her opponent like a normal destroyer, but retreated a considerable distance.

Two large, red missiles popped out of Changchun's hull with a click and got stuck in the launcher on Changchun's waist. Then, with a whoosh, the two missiles shot into the sky like rockets, leaving two trails of white smoke and drawing a perfect arc.

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the two missiles struck the heavy cruiser ship girl at an astonishing speed, before she could even begin her attack.

Then a small white mushroom cloud rose from the sea, accompanied by the screams of the heavy cruiser girl. She was blasted into heavy damage by Changchun and rolled several times on the sea before finally coming to a stop.

"Yay! Changchun won!" After shooting down the heavy cruiser ship girl in the first second of the match, Changchun raised both hands and ran back happily along the road.

The man stood frozen in place, staring at his ship girl lying on the sea once again, speechless for a long time.

Changchun is a destroyer, but it is not a destroyer.

She is a missile destroyer, and she has a completely different fighting style and burst time from other destroyers. While ordinary heavy cruiser ship girls may be able to counter ordinary destroyers, they may not be able to counter missile destroyers.

The admirals present stared blankly as Changchun happily ran back to the beach, hugging Xiaobai and nuzzling him all over, until Er Gou announced over the loudspeaker, "The second exercise is over," before they finally came to their senses.

"Holy crap, that ship girl is a destroyer? How come her torpedoes can fly?"

"I know, I know, that's a missile destroyer, a very rare type of ship!"

"My god, what kind of gods are these? How come they even have guided drives?"

The buzzing of the admirals echoed across the beach.

The man watched as his heavy cruiser ship girl was slowly carried off the sea by the medical team, her back, which had just straightened, bent over again.

I was just being delusional.

The man felt his face burning up. He angrily flicked his sleeves, turned around, and prepared to leave.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Just then, the voice of President Er Gou came from the side.

"I've already lost two matches," the man said to Chairman Er Gou, suppressing his anger. "I've already lost this exercise."

"Oh, right, you've already lost." President Er Gou nodded.

"Is there a problem with me leaving?"

"You lost the exercise, but it's not over yet." President Er Gou adjusted his sunglasses. "This is a performance exercise, and we have to play all three rounds, win or lose."

President Er Gou's voice naturally carried the elegance and composure of a mature woman.

The man stared at Chairman Er Gou, his eyes wide as if they were about to pop out: "What did you say?"

"The exercise isn't over yet, hero. You must finish what you started," Guild Master Er Gou said to the man.

"Leave room for maneuver in your actions, for future..."

"Fuck your mother." Chairman Er Gou interrupted the man, "How many merits do you think I'll have to compensate for this exercise? You're not going home until you've given me my satisfaction!"

The man trembled with rage: "How could you be so vicious!"

"Didn't your mother tell you that?" President Er Gou took off his sunglasses, revealing his delicate features, and smiled at the man. "The prettier the girl, the more vengeful she is."

After saying that, President Er Gou pointed to the four remaining ship girls behind the man: "Enough talk, they're all going to be on the field for the third match."

"What are you going to do!"

"Of course, I'm very fair. I can tell at a glance that your ship girls are super weak. To be fair, how about I let Little White only send one ship girl this time? This is a fantastic opportunity for you guys to gang up on her!" President Er Gou smiled at the man, then turned to Little White, "Little White, what do you think?"

"Ah, sure." Xiaobai nodded to President Ergou.

The man stared at Chairman Er Gou, his expression fluctuating wildly.

The man knew that Xiaobai's strongest Bismarck had not yet appeared on the field. If Bismarck were to appear this time, she could easily take on his four ship girls one-on-one, or even instantly kill them.

This is a load of rubbish! This is giving myself a whole new way of losing completely.

"Um... President Sister." Just then, Xiaobai reached out and called out to President Ergou.

"Hmm? Little White Sister, do you have something to say?" Guild Master Er Gou asked.

"Can I choose the ship girl who will be on stage later?"

"of course."

"Ah, thank you, Guild Master." Xiaobai smiled at Guild Master Ergou, then reached into the group of ship girls behind her and pulled out one. "Is she okay?"

Seeing the ship girl that Xiaobai pulled out, President Ergou and the man were both stunned for a moment. They looked at Xiaobai, as if trying to find a trace of a joke on her face.

"...Little White Sister, are you serious?" Guild Master Er Gou asked.

Xiaobai nodded.

"..." President Er Gou didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. "This is really interesting. Okay, I agree."

After saying this, President Er Gou turned to look at the man and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"

The man stared at the ship girl that Xiaobai had pulled out with complicated eyes. He thought for a long time, seemingly considering what the two of them wanted to do. However, he quickly remembered that he was also helpless at the moment, so he snorted coldly: "No going back on your word."

After saying that, the man gave the ship girl next to Xiaobai a cold glare, and then looked away again.

—The ship girl that was pulled out by Xiaobai is Royal Oak.

Royal Oak looked at Xiaobai with a bewildered expression, then at President Er Gou, and then at the ship girls behind her former admiral.

She stared with wide, round eyes, somewhat at a loss for words: "I...I...you..."

"Royal Oak, I'll be relying on you for a bit later," Little White said to the Royal Oak.

"Not...that..."

"Oh, speaking of which, you don't have any equipment or supplies yet, right? Constellation, can you lend her your equipment first?" Xiaobai asked Constellation behind him.

"Okay, no problem." Constellation summoned its ship equipment and began disassembling it with a series of clicks.

"No! No!" Royal Oak hurriedly waved her hand to stop Little White, looking at her with an expression that was more like crying. "Um... Admiral, why did you want me to go on stage?"

"Doesn't the Royal Oak want to play?" Little White asked the Royal Oak.

The Royal Oak nodded, then shook its head: "No, I... I'm not that good..."

"You're really amazing. Weren't you the former flagship of the fleet?"

"...Yes, yes, yes." Royal Oak looked at the ship girls behind Little White with a conflicted expression.

Royal Oak's combat strength is indeed not low in the second chapter. She is very talented in combat, and due to the allocation of resources, she also has a level of training and equipment that makes her stand out among the crowd in the second chapter.

However, these strengths that the Royal Oak once took pride in were crushed long ago when they encountered Shiro's ship girls.

In terms of training level, sorry, Royal Oak has no face to compare with the ship girls that Xiaobai can easily grab at max level. In terms of combat power, Bismarck has long since shown Royal Oak with her strength that as a ship girl, she is weak in both offense and defense, and none of her techniques are reliable. In terms of equipment... let's not even mention that Royal Oak's equipment has long been recycled. Now, which of Xiaobai's ship girls isn't covered in golden light mixed with colorful auspicious clouds?

In front of Shiro, Royal Oak is really embarrassed to call herself a powerful ship girl.

"Royal Oak, do you not want to fight your former companions?" Little White asked Royal Oak.

Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Royal Oak quickly waved her hand, "No, no, it's normal for ship girls to spar, it won't affect me..."

"Is it because you're upset about going against the former admiral?" Xiaobai asked again.

"..." Royal Oak paused, then shook its head resolutely. "No."

"That's fine then," Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Admiral, to be honest..." Royal Oak turned her head and looked at the four ship girls behind the man with some worry, "I might... be unable to defeat them..."

"Oh?"

“…If we take them down one by one, I’m confident I can win them all. I can even take on two at once…” Royal Oak said to Little White with some hesitation. “The battlecruiser girl over there is my partner. She’s very familiar with my usual fighting style. Plus, she’s not much weaker than me. So if there are a lot of people over there, she can easily restrain me and limit my performance… I might lose.”

"Oh." Xiaobai nodded.

This is normal. That's how ship girls are. Before the difference in strength becomes significant enough, it's impossible for one to fight a group.

"So, Admiral, you should change the person... CV16 is fine too, but I don't want to embarrass you... even though the first two battles were already..."

“Royal Oak.” Little White interrupted Royal Oak, reaching out to grasp her hand and smiling at her, “I want you to go.”

“…Why…ah.” The Royal Oak looked at Little White with a troubled expression.

"Because this proves you're one of my ship girls," Shiro said with a smile to Royal Oak.

Royal Oak was taken aback. She stared blankly at Little White, momentarily forgetting to reply.

"It's okay, you can win," Little White said with a smile to the Royal Oak. "If I say you can, then you can."

Standing on a chair, President Er Gou was speaking into the loudspeaker, randomly checking roll calls, when he suddenly fell silent.
