Frederick the Great remained silent, but slowly lowered his hand.
She reached down and pulled the knife out of her chest; with a splatter, black blood splattered onto Montana.
Frederick the Great expressionlessly tossed the blade to Montana.
Chapter 3821 Never
The blood gushing from Frederick the Great's wound instantly splattered all over Montana's body.
Before long, Montana's entire body was covered in a thick layer of black grease, making him look as if he had just crawled out of a cauldron of asphalt.
"Ugh... this much blood loss..." Montana didn't catch the saber Frederick the Great tossing him. The saber hovered in mid-air, automatically disintegrating into golden flames that dissipated in the wind. Montana himself reached up and smeared his face roughly, scraping away the grease smeared all over his cheeks, revealing an extremely disheveled face. He looked at Frederick with a rather helpless expression, "Frederick, you might as well have punched me in the face."
"..." Frederick the Great did not answer. She simply closed her eyes silently, and amidst a surge of dark red deep-sea currents, the penetrating wound on her towering chest finally healed, albeit belatedly.
The blood of the deep sea has properties remarkably similar to those of petroleum.
While this doesn't mean that deep-sea blood is a type of energy resource, it certainly makes it difficult to wash off once it gets on your body.
"Ugh... this is so troublesome, my clothes are all sticky... my hair is all over it too... oh dear, this is going to be a hassle to wash..." Montana turned around with a helpless expression. She first reached out and pulled at the black stockings on her thighs, which were covered in sticky stuff. Then she unbuttoned her collar and reached down to rub off a thick layer of oil from her arm. Finally, the oil fell into clumps on the sea surface and instantly dissolved into the water.
Frederick the Great opened his eyes and silently watched Montana clean the oil stains off her body. Her face was expressionless, and her gaze drifted to the side.
In the distance, Xiaobai and the ship girls had already come down from the high platform and were approaching this side.
"Frederick-Montana-!" Xiaobai waved her hand and called out to the two personnel who had finished the battle. The ship girls behind her followed closely behind.
"Ah, Admiral, you've arrived." Montana raised his dirty head and called out to Little White.
"Your battle is over, right?" Xiaobai smiled and lowered her hand. She first looked at Frederick the Great, who appeared unharmed, and then at Montana, who looked disheveled. "Montana, do you need me to clean you up?"
"Ah, no need, no need, it's nothing, I'll just find a body of water to rinse it off..." Montana shook his head and thanked Xiaobai for his suggestion.
“I see…” Xiaobai smiled at Montana, then looked away at Frederick the Great, her eyes sparkling with gentleness. “Frederick, you’ve had a good day too.”
"..." Frederick the Great did not respond. She simply stood silently in place, quietly watching Xiaobai and his group.
Frederick the Great has now removed the white veil from her face, revealing her cold expression and captivating blood-red eyes. Even without making any significant movements, the chilling aura emanating from her is even more piercing than when she was at the naval base. When her gaze swept over Xiaobai, Xiaobai did not react at all. However, when Frederick the Great's eyes fell upon the ship girls behind Xiaobai, those ship girls showed varying degrees of resistance and fear.
Pinghai, Ninghai, Yingrui, and Zhaohe were the least timid among those present... The four ship girls subconsciously shrank behind Xiaobai, only daring to cautiously clutch Xiaobai's clothes, huddled together and trembling, like a group of little girls who had accidentally fallen into the zoo and had to face the tiger with their bare hands. They dared not make any eye contact with Frederick the Great at this moment.
Although Chongqing's performance was relatively stable, she subconsciously looked away, blinked, and took a few steps toward Yixian.
Yi Xian stared at Frederick the Great, her expression unchanged, but when she saw Frederick the Great's free wrists and feet, a hint of wariness appeared in her eyes.
1913 watched the entire battle between Frederick the Great and Montana. Perhaps because she was the newest ship girl, 1913's impression of the Deep Sea Dean was not clear enough. At this time, she did not feel particularly resistant to Frederick the Great. Rather than fear and apprehension, she showed more contemplation and inquiry.
Among these ship girls, Jinan and Changchun were the most composed.
Jinan stared with wide, curious eyes, her finger pointing to her lips, her gaze fixed intently on Montana, her eyes flashing with emotions that others couldn't decipher. As for Changchun, she remained obediently close to Xiaobai as always, her hands alternately pressed against her chest, appearing well-behaved, sensible, and untroubled, seemingly indifferent to everything else.
Frederick the Great finally raised his eyes and met the gaze of the super-Kyrgyz.
"Well, it's about time, we should head back to the naval base..." After a brief exchange of glances, Xiaobai finally smiled and spoke to Frederick the Great and the ship girls, about to command Chaodahe to activate the teleportation vortex to send them home.
However, at that moment, a small, fair hand suddenly rose up.
"Admiral! Admiral! Wait a moment! I have a problem!"
Accompanying this little hand was a clear and cheerful sound.
Everyone's attention was instinctively drawn to the sound, and they looked towards the center, where Jinan was raising her palms high, constantly tiptoeing on the sea, looking just like a lively little pink fox.
"Jinan? What happened?"
"Admiral, Admiral, I watched the whole battle between Frederick the Great and Sister Montana!" Jinan said, turning to Xiaobai.
"Mmm...very impressive..." Xiaobai reached out and rubbed Jinan's head.
"Admiral, I'm not asking for a reward..." Jinan pouted, raising her hands to grab Xiaobai's hands, then gently pressing Xiaobai's palms against her round cheeks. "Admiral, Admiral, this is the first time I've witnessed Frederick the Great's battle firsthand. Her fighting power is so formidable; even Montana struggled so much against her, and in the end, they could only manage a 50/50 fight... If you were the one fighting Frederick the Great, Admiral, how long would the battle take?"
"Ok?"
As soon as Jinan finished speaking, the ship girls present were all stunned.
"Jinan, what do you mean by suddenly saying that?"
"Wait, you don't mean..."
"Ah...could it be that you..."
The ship girls seemed to have anticipated something and covered their mouths.
Then, as expected, Jinan nodded quickly under everyone's gaze, and then spoke to Xiaobai with a look of excitement.
"Admiral! Could you show us how you defeated Frederick the Great back then?"
"Ahhh!"
"I knew it! You really said that!"
"Don't! Don't!"
"Jinan, that's a topic that can't be discussed—"
The ship girls reacted as if they had heard something incredibly terrifying. They immediately rushed forward, grabbed Jinan in a panic, and covered her mouth.
Xiao Bai was also stunned for a moment after hearing what Jinan said.
Xiaobai watched as Jinan was covered by the ship girls and pulled to the back of the line. She subconsciously blinked and turned her head to look at Frederick the Great and Montana.
Frederick the Great seemed to have also been drawn to Jinan's speech. At this moment, Frederick the Great was staring at Xiaobai with his blood-red eyes. His eyes were devoid of any color or emotion, but just by staring at her, a strange emptiness and pressure naturally emanated from the depths of his blood-red eyes, which were like a deep sea.
"Admiral, what Jinan said was just childish talk; you don't need to take it seriously," Yi Xian said, her brows slightly furrowed as she gently advised Xiao Bai.
"No way! I'm not a child anymore, I could marry the Admiral and be his wedding ship! I swear—" The voice from Jinan had just started when it was immediately covered by everyone.
Yi Xian rubbed his forehead, looking quite troubled.
—This is not good.
The ship girls in the newbie naval base don't really want to see a battle between Shiro and Frederick the Great, even if it's just a normal sparring match. If you ask why, it's because the ship girls in the newbie naval base more or less understand that Frederick the Great's existence is far too "unstable" for the newbie naval base.
Frederick the Great's instability did not lie in her outward attitude; in fact, ever since she was captured and taken to the naval base, she had maintained a law-abiding lifestyle.
However... Frederick the Great's instability lay in her power and status.
Frederick the Great's power is truly terrifying... so terrifying that if she were to harbor even the slightest thought of rebellion, the naval base, and even human society, could face the most horrific calamity in history. Furthermore, Frederick the Great is not yet fully subdued; her current status is merely that of a "prisoner" who lost a bet to Xiaobai, forced by Xiaobai to fulfill a verbal agreement of defeat, and then imprisoned in the naval base.
Yes……
Essentially, it was precisely because Xiaobai, as the admiral, defeated Frederick the Great that she was obediently captured and brought to the rookie garrison.
It was Little White who defeated Frederick the Great.
This is the premise of everything.
That's why the ship girls don't want to see Shiro fight Frederick the Great.
So what if Xiaobai didn't continue to defeat Frederick the Great in the rest of her life?
Even if Xiaobai were to continue defeating Frederick the Great, would she have to expend all her strength and win in a difficult and miserable manner, just like Montana?
This is not good.
This is very bad.
But if Frederick the Great were to realize this, it would become a highly threatening fact.
—Never let your enemy realize that she is stronger than you, or that you are not actually that much stronger than her.
Chapter 3822 Seconds!
The ship girls don't distrust Xiaobai.
As ship girls, they trust their admirals implicitly, just as their admirals always bring them unexpected security and surprises.
But the ship girls just wanted to avoid taking risks as much as possible...
After all, the sparring match between Xiaobai and Frederick the Great was, from any perspective, a thankless task—even if Xiaobai won against Frederick the Great, nothing in the world would change, but if Xiaobai lost, or didn't win decisively, then there would be big problems…
The ship girls standing nearby covered Jinan's mouth, raised their index fingers at Jinan, and booed her desperately.
Yi Xian was also holding her forehead, her brows slightly furrowed as she stared at Xiao Bai.
As expected... shouldn't we have brought Frederick the Great out on our own? We should have informed Lexington before we left...
If anything unexpected happens, it would be my fault as the prison gatekeeper...
Just as Yi Xian was pondering the future, a gentle voice suddenly entered her ears.
"Yixian."
"...Admiral?"
Yi Xian then realized that the person calling her was Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai smiled as she looked at Yi Xian, speaking softly to her in a light, airy voice, like a gentle breeze on a spring afternoon.
"It's okay."
Then, under Yi Xian's gaze, Xiao Bai turned around and looked at the ship girls, as well as Jinan, who was tied up and gagged. She suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, signaling the ship girls to untie Jinan.
"It's just a regular exercise, everyone, don't take it so seriously."
The ship girls stared blankly at Xiaobai, and only released Jinan after being prompted by Xiaobai's gaze.
Jinan broke free of her restraints and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she pouted and ran to Xiaobai's side, stretched out her slender arms, and hugged Xiaobai's arm tightly, sticking her tongue out at the group of ship girls.
"Admiral, Admiral, they don't want to see you fight Frederick." Jinan pouted at Xiaobai, her petite but curvaceous body softly pressing against Xiaobai's arm, rubbing against him incessantly. "But I want to see it!"
Xiaobai smiled and reached out to rub Jinan's head.
“Actually, I want to see it too.” At this moment, Montana raised his hand and said to everyone, “I need to wash off the asphalt on my body. Why don’t you and Frederick fight first, Admiral?”
"Hey! Montana, what's this about you too..."
The ship girls all looked at Montana. They never expected that Jinan would be so naive and ignorant, and even Montana would suddenly say such things.
Montana doesn't seem like someone who doesn't understand these intricacies...
However, when faced with the gazes of the ship girls, Montana only revealed a mysterious smile and an unusually expectant look.
The ship girls didn't understand.
At this moment, Xiaobai smiled and looked at Frederick the Great, meeting his gaze.
"Frederick, do you still have the energy? Do you want to rest for a bit?" Xiaobai asked.
"Admiral, are you really going to fight...?" The ship girls immediately fell silent.
"Let's train together in a friendly manner," Xiaobai said to the ship girls, then looked at Frederick the Great, "How about it, Frederick?"
"..."
Deep within Frederick the Great's eyes lay a bottomless crimson, which reflected Xiaobai's smiling face. After a while, Frederick the Great responded expressionlessly.
"……I can."
Frederick the Great agreed!
Upon seeing this, the ship girls clutched their chests. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, they seemed to foresee a future where Lexington, upon learning of this, would smile and invite them into the admiral's office for a detailed discussion.
"Shall we fight now?" Frederick the Great asked.
"Okay, let's do it now." Xiaobai nodded.
"..." Frederick the Great raised his red eyes and coldly swept them over the ship girls present.
The ship girls felt a chill run down their spines, and they quickly grabbed Jinan and retreated.
"..." After the ship girls had gone far away, Frederick the Great silently looked at Montana, who had not gone far away.
"Why are you looking at me?" Montana asked.
"...Stay away."
“What? I’m your previous opponent, I have the right to enjoy VIP spectator seats,” Montana said matter-of-factly. “Besides, if I hadn’t spoken up for you just now, you probably wouldn’t even be fighting the Admiral right now. You should be thanking me.”
"..." Frederick the Great looked at Xiaobai.
"Montana, stay away." Little White looked at Montana knowingly and said with a smile, "Go wash your clothes."
"Alright, alright." Montana whistled, clutching the back of his head as he slowly walked away.
Montana ran to a spot on the water, but not too far away. In front of Little White and Frederick the Great, she took off her clothes one by one, revealing a beautiful body with an exceptionally artistic flair and tall, full curves. Then she untied her pale yellow twin ponytails, letting them fall into her long, pale yellow hair. With a light leap, she jumped into the deep-sea water, covered in oil.
After a while, Montana emerged from the water, revealing her snow-white, iconic shoulders. She raised her hand in the water and waved to Little White with a smile.
