Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

"Big Sister!" Although Ji Ling still didn't know how he had offended Veneto, he knew that admitting defeat was the right decision. Ji Ling, with no moral integrity at all, knelt down on the ground, resting his forehead on the ground, and prostrated himself: "I was wrong!"

"Kami..." Veneto pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a "gentle" smile: "It must be very hard to be my little sister. Surely it would be better to send you back to the S department?"

“!!!” A row of fine beads of sweat quickly oozed out of Jiling’s forehead, then gathered together and slowly slid down her forehead. She hugged Veneto’s calf and howled miserably: “Big sister! I am Cami! Camizia Nera, your most loyal sister! I have been loyal to you! I have sweated for you! How can you bear to abandon your most loyal sister!”

"Then tell me, in all the time you've been my little sister, have you accomplished anything?" Veneto sneered. "Just one thing, even one thing. Otherwise... I don't want to keep idle people under my wing! If you can't remember, move back to the S Department tomorrow."

"This..." Ji Ling was speechless for a moment. She hurriedly took out her cell phone. Every time she did something for Veneto, she would record it in her memo as a proud achievement. However, as she flipped through the memo, Ji Ling realized that after working under Veneto for so long, she had never accomplished a single thing.

"How could this happen?!" Ji Ling panicked. Although Veneto, who was always inexplicably angry, was a bit troublesome for her, it was still much better than the drunkards in the S department who drank strong liquor like water. She continued to search without giving up, and finally, a message caught her eye, bringing a glimmer of hope.

"Big Sister! I have important information for you!"

34. Reaching Consensus

Worse!

Looking at the comments in the garrison group and the private messages that kept flashing above the screen, even someone as calm as Hancock couldn't help but feel a huge pressure. It was obvious that as a wedding ship, everyone was very dissatisfied with Hancock's behavior of running away quietly. In addition, some people took the opportunity to fan the flames. Some people had already called their friends and prepared to rush to the admiral's residence together to bring her to justice.

Although the photo was taken maliciously by Tirpitz, Hancock's behavior of lurking around Xue Cheng tonight had bad intentions, so she had no intention of making excuses.

"You guys are not doing your best, so why are you blaming me? In a war called love, there shouldn't be any hesitation. Strike when the time is right; that's the way to win!" Hancock flipped through the private messages that contained threats, feeling quite disapproving.

In her opinion, if you really count it, Series C should be the ones who get the moon first tonight, but they did not seize the opportunity and gave her the chance to take advantage of the situation. This is a big taboo in the road of love.

However, although he thought so in his heart, Hancock obviously did not have the strength to suppress the whole situation. Once he aroused public anger and faced attacks from all sides, his situation would be somewhat bad.

"Why don't you talk to your sister about this?"

Thinking of this, Hancock didn't bother to settle the score with Tirpitz, and hurriedly looked for his sister Essex's phone number. Although his eldest sister was always a little dull, at this time, Essex was the most reliable person Hancock could think of.

However, before Hancock could find the number, an unfamiliar call came in.

"Hello? Hancock, this is Lexington." A voice came from the phone. Unlike the girl who was affectionately called "Madam" by the admiral, this voice was a little cold and seemed to have little emotional fluctuation.

Hancock was silent for a moment, then said, "Ticonderoga, stop pretending. I know it's you."

"Huh?" A surprised voice came from the other end of the line, and then the person's tone became much more cheerful: "How did you know it was me? I imitated Lexington's voice very well, how did you see through it?"

Hancock glanced at Xue Cheng and Tirpitz, who was smirking at him, then turned and left the room, saying, "Because Blue Phantom usually calls himself 'CV-16' to distinguish himself from that woman. Also, besides that big-foreheaded guy, you're the only one in the entire tutelary fort who likes to impersonate others to play pranks."

"Tsk," Ticonderoga smacked his lips. "I'm your sister! Is that how you talk to your sister?"

"I don't think you need excessive respect."

"Not cute at all..." Ticonderoga muttered, then straightened her tone and said, "Although you don't know how to respect your sister, as a sister, I will not stand by and watch you suffer. Where are you now? Are you still with the admiral?"

Hancock looked at the closed door behind him, hesitated for a moment, and said "hmm" softly.

"You're quite courageous, still here." Ticonderoga's voice was tinged with amusement. "Haven't you seen the news in the tutelage's group chat? The various faction leaders are gathering their forces, preparing to capture you and throw you into the sea as a target for tomorrow's exercises. Why don't you flee now?"

"Shouldn't it be...right?" Hancock's voice was a little hesitant. Under normal circumstances, they were all sisters from the same garrison, and they shouldn't be so cruel to her.

However, when the matter involved the admiral, the situation was a little different. His act of running away was obviously extremely bad in their eyes. If he was caught, although he would not be really sunk as a target ship, he would definitely suffer.

"Ticonderoga, you're not calling just to see me laugh, are you?" Hancock calmed down and said calmly, "What's your purpose?"

"That's too much! Your sister obviously cares about you!" Ticonderoga said indignantly on the other end of the phone, but her hard work was met with silence.

Seeing Hancock's indifference, Ticonderoga said helplessly, "Don't always think so badly of your sister. I've arranged for a little ghost to disguise yourself as you and lead away the first people who arrived. They won't come for a while, so you'd better run away quickly."

Hancock raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Why...why are you helping me for no reason?"

"Of course I'm afraid they'll really use you as a target!" Ticonderoga said angrily, "What nonsense! Why don't you just run away? The little Ghost won't hold out for much longer. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to escape!"

Hancock hesitated and softly responded. After receiving her response, Ticonderoga quickly said, "Don't go through the main gate. Take a detour down the mountain from the back. I've arranged for Revenge to pick you up. Also, don't go home directly. Go to my secret base first to hide out and make plans tomorrow."

"Okay." Hancock replied, then hung up the phone and walked back into the room. Looking at Xue Cheng, who looked surprised, and Tirpitz, who was trying to suppress his laughter, he said helplessly, "Admiral, I'm leaving."

"Ah, no need to explain, I know everything." Xue Cheng shook his cell phone. He had learned what had happened through the garrison group. Although he did not believe some of the terrible remarks about stuffing Hancock into an oil barrel and throwing him into the sea as a target, Hancock was indeed not suitable to stay here now.

"Admiral..." Hancock bit her lip. She thought she had the upper hand, but the sudden appearance of Tirpitz disrupted her plan. She was very upset, but no matter how angry she was, it was useless. All she could do now was to hide according to Ticonderoga's arrangements. After all, it was not easy to bear the criticism of thousands of people.

With Hancock's departure, the room returned to peace again. Not long after Hancock left, a large army arrived. Everyone tacitly did not go in to capture Hancock, but surrounded the house first, preventing anyone from sneaking away while waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops.

Finally, five minutes later, the wedding ships from various departments had almost all arrived. Those who hadn't come had probably gone to bed early. Lexington, who always considered herself the first wife, looked around, surrounded by her two sisters, nodded slightly, and said softly, "Looks like everyone is here?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ji Ling, who had finally achieved a meritorious service and was now able to hold his head high in front of the big sister, stood at the forefront of the Italian wedding ship with his hands on his hips and said arrogantly, "Lexington, Hancock is from your American faction. You need to give everyone an explanation for this matter!"

"Smart, are you itching for trouble again?" Xingzuo glared at the little girl, who was so frightened that she immediately ran back to Veneto and trembled.

Ji Ling always uses the name of Veneto to bully others, and it is common for him to be caught and taught a lesson. Xingzhi was one of these people.

"I've asked Essex about this, but she doesn't know either." Lexington looked at the expressionless white-haired girl behind him and said helplessly, "Maybe Hancock was just acting on a whim. Even if we're sisters, we can't be together all the time."

"Okay, let's put this aside for now." Bismarck, dressed in a neat military uniform, said calmly, "But Hancock must be taken away today. She can't stay with the Admiral."

"Needless to say!" A lively voice rang out, and the girl named Kongo shouted, "Although we are all the Admiral's wedding ships, I will absolutely not allow sneaking away! NO!"

"Miss King Kong has a point." Yixian had a gentle smile on her face, but her words were undeniable: "If it's fair competition, then so be it. But I absolutely do not approve of this kind of sneaky behavior!"

"Fair competition... Do we need to set up a ring and compete? Speaking of which, while Hancock's behavior was a bit egregious, it was also based on his true abilities. So, even Sister Yixian has this side when it comes to the Admiral." The elegant T-cruiser grumbled inwardly.

Of course, despite thinking so, as a fellow marriage ship, she would never speak for Hancock, who stole the family.

"That's right, the sword in my hand will never allow such a despicable thing to happen!" The blonde knight Duke of York said righteously. In order to strengthen her belief, she put her hand on the hilt of the sword in her hand, and the words she said seemed to have a bit of metallic clang.

"It seems we need to launch some activities within the port area to clean up this negative atmosphere." The girl with short white hair was drunk, and she reeked strongly of alcohol. She mumbled, "Once we catch Hancock, let me take her back first. I think she needs some ideological reform."

Essex looked as if he was about to speak, but no one noticed. Richelieu, also wearing a sword and looking as serious as a knight, said softly, "Just as Miss Soviet said."

"Well, it seems everyone has reached a consensus on how to deal with Hancock," Lexington said softly. "Taking Hancock away won't be difficult, but what about what happens next? What do you all think?"

Veneto folded her arms. Despite her short stature and youthful appearance, she exuded a powerful aura. She shifted her gaze, scanning everyone's faces one by one, and said, "From today on, everyone will rely on their own abilities. But tonight, no one will be allowed to sneak away!"

"it is good!"

"agree!"

"Seconded!"

35. Attack of Tirpitz

"How disrespectful!" Tirpitz, who was staring at the screen with his hand on his chin, muttered angrily beside Xue Cheng. "They treat Hancock like a formidable enemy and ignore me. They simply don't take me seriously!"

The team to capture Hancock arrived as expected, but perhaps because there were too many people, in the end Xue Cheng and Tirpitz only saw Lexington and Yixian as representatives.

The two of them naturally knew the purpose of their trip. However, after meeting Tirpitz, not only Yixian but even Lexington did not express anything. They even ignored her when they left, leaving her and Xue Cheng alone in the room.

This is certainly not a trust in the quality of Tirpitz's ship. After all, in the naval base, the ship girl named Tirpitz has reached a level where even submarines will not trust her in terms of ship quality. She is immersed in games and books, and has long been unworthy of the title of "The Lonely Queen of the North".

However, Tirpitz, who had become a stay-at-home girl, was seen as a useless person by everyone. Even her sister Bismarck could not find any "feminine charm" in Tirpitz.

No one thought that anything would really happen between Tirpitz, who was obsessed with games and comics, and Xue Cheng.

Seeing Tirpitz mumbling non-stop, seemingly brooding over something, Xue Cheng consoled him, "Don't say that. Perhaps they were simply intimidated by Lord Tirpitz's powerful aura and didn't dare act rashly, so they wisely left."

Tirpitz rolled her eyes. She was quite clear-headed in terms of self-awareness and naturally knew that the admiral was just comforting her. She picked up her phone and looked at the message with implicit warning sent by her sister. Suddenly, she felt rebellious and a bad idea emerged in her mind. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a strange smile.

"Tirpitz? What are you laughing at?" Xue Cheng asked casually while playing games with Hancock's account.

"Nothing..." Tirpitz came back to her senses and shook her head. She snatched the mouse from Xue Cheng's hand, closed the game he was playing, and then, in his surprised eyes, opened a hidden folder.

"Admiral, you like reading comics too, right?" Tirpitz's originally lazy eyes now looked bright, his long eyelashes fluttering, and he looked at Xue Cheng intently.

"Uh, it's okay." Xue Cheng looked at the folder. When he just came here, he found some unfinished line drawings in the computer, but he didn't look at them carefully. After learning that this computer had been used by Tirpitz, he already had some guesses about the specific content of the line drawings.

"I have some questions about painting techniques and would like to discuss them with the Admiral," said Tirpitz.

Xue Cheng didn't know anything about painting, but he didn't refuse. Out of curiosity, he also wanted to see what Tirpitz had drawn. It was said that this otaku girl liked to draw books, especially her sister Bismarck's books, and he wanted to verify it himself.

As the folder was opened, Tirpitz's work came into Xue Cheng's sight.

It can be seen that the line drawings left in Xue Cheng's computer were drawn very casually, and there was no complete plot. It seemed that he just suddenly remembered a plot and hastily drew a rough outline. Some of them could not be connected to each other at all. However, as expected, the woman in the painting had the iconic cat-ear hairstyle, and she was undoubtedly Tirpitz's sister, the battleship Bismarck.

And just as rumored, Tirpitz is indeed a book artist. Look at these legs, look at these chests, wow, even if it is just a sketch, it is enough to show that Bei Zhai's painting skills are of a very high level.

But... who is this man who appears in the painting?

Xue Cheng looked at the back of the man who was pressing Bismarck under him in the picture, and suddenly felt like he was being NTreddled.

"You nerd girl! I've been so good to you! I've given you all the rings and accessories in the game, and this is how you repay me?" Xue Cheng was a little indignant and was about to ask for culpability, but he soon discovered that this man was none other than himself.

Because in the next sketch, the man whose back was only shown revealed his true face. Well, Xue Cheng didn't know whether this character could be considered a human being. After all, no human's head was shaped like a big letter "T". Moreover, as if to emphasize his identity, the character was wearing an admiral's hat, and two Chinese characters were written on the place where the eyes should have been - Xue Cheng.

Perhaps it was because he was too ordinary, with no distinctive features, that the cartooned image wasn't vivid enough, so Bei Zhai deliberately drew himself like this? Well, or was it just a way of expressing himself? Xue Cheng didn't know, but after confirming that the character in the picture was himself, his mood suddenly became relaxed. When he looked at the line drawing again, he even felt a little happy, feeling that his love for her when he was playing games was worth it.

Well, I don’t know what’s so good about being drawn into the book.

"Admiral, what do you think of my painting?" Tirpitz asked confidently.

"Amazing." Xue Cheng gave a thumbs up. He was also a veteran and had seen a lot, but Tirpitz's painting skills were still among the best among those he had ever met, so she deserved the compliment.

"Hehe..." Tirpitz laughed triumphantly, but before she could be happy for a moment, Xue Cheng's expression straightened and he said seriously, "Although your painting skills are impeccable, Tirpitz, you don't seem to know much about the human body structure. For example, here, and here..."

Xue Cheng reached out and pointed at the T-headed character on the screen a few times, pointing out the error.

When it came to her profession, Tirpitz also became interested. She turned around and took out a set of drawing equipment from under the bed and connected them to the computer. Then she moved her chair towards Xue Cheng and corrected the mistakes according to his instructions.

After both of them had finished revising the manuscripts in the computer, Tirpitz, feeling that she had gained a lot, leaned back in her chair contentedly and let out a long sigh. Just as she was sorting out the knowledge she had learned tonight in her mind, an idea emerged from her mind.

What was I about to do just now?

Tirpitz's expression froze, and her gaze towards Xue Cheng suddenly became a little subtle. She pursed her lips, and seeing that Xue Cheng's attention was not on her, she quietly unbuttoned two buttons on her pajamas and pulled the collar open a little. Then she cleared her throat and squeezed out a sweet and tender call from her throat: "Ti..."

Before Tirpitz could finish his words, a voice suddenly came from the direction of the window: "Tirpitz, what are you doing?"

Why was I interrupted again? Tirpitz was angry. He looked in the direction of the sound. A thin, translucent rope had been lowered from the window. A girl wearing a black tights, with her long blond hair tied into a ponytail and a mask covering her face was hanging upside down on the rope like Spider-Man, slowly sliding down.

36. Ticonderoga

After descending to a certain height, the girl exerted a little force and performed a clean backflip, landing steadily on the balcony. She pulled at some device tied to her arm, and the thin rope was immediately retracted.

"Who are you?" Xue Cheng's brain was working rapidly. She was wearing a mask, was good at using high-tech equipment, and was wearing a tight-fitting suit. Is there such a ship girl in the game?

The girl casually folded the hook at the end of the rope and buckled it into the device on her arm. After hesitating for a moment, she tilted her head and said, "I... I'm Hancock."

"..." Xue Cheng and Tirpitz fell silent. Hancock had just left more than ten minutes ago. The other party was very different from Hancock in both figure and voice. How dare he pretend to be Hancock?

Seeing that the two men were silent and only looking at her with strange expressions, the girl adjusted her bangs and said, "Okay, I knew I couldn't fool you. I'm not Hancock. I'm Blue Ghost, CV-16."

Xue Cheng rolled his eyes. If he hadn't seen CV-16 that morning, he might have actually believed it.
