Like the previous relay station, the current Southern Town Guard, the predecessor of the Northern Town Guard Mansion is also not called this name.

It is also one of the many town guards scattered around the continent of the Federation, and it is called the second town guard because it is numbered second from north to south.

It's just that after the appearance of the constructing war queen, the original second town guard was inevitably impacted.

One after another, the town guards either fell into the hands of the deep sea, or directly fell into the deliberate ignorance of friendly forces, and the town guards that originally needed to be distinguished by numbers also became "rare" existences, and unconsciously, this second town guard mansion also became the only town guard mansion in the north, so it was directly named "Northern Town Guard".

But in half a month, the meeting on the Zhiyuan Star ended in a dramatic ending, and after the Southern Town Guard Mansion directly skipped the will of all the town guards and ship girls and jumped to become the only officially recognized town guard mansion in the Federation, the existence of this northern town guard house is a little delicate.

If it weren't for the emergence of Rilan, the Federation that had recovered from the deep-sea invasion would not have let go of this unstable element who was close at hand, and within the Army-led Federation, whether it was out of a stable environment or the need for exclusive ship equipment, they would have been driven to raise their butcher's knives to their comrades in the previous moment, and living in the circle of the Federation and the deep sea, the fate of this northern town guard can be imagined......

However, the formulation and completion of the agreement on the Zhiyuan Star directly brought about a 180-degree reversal of this predetermined world line, and now, the only remaining town guards isolated in the north no longer need to worry about the "friendly forces" of the West, and correspondingly, they need to focus more attention on another town guard in the south - a town guard that has achieved something almost impossible to achieve even though it is in a desperate situation.

Nominally. It was their "only" town guard's house.

―――――― Split ――――――

"Troublesome ......" spat out a word from his mouth, and looked at the blue sea in front of him, and his brows furrowed.

After nearly two days of sailing, during which the "Sea Mist Fleet" was also tested three times, and it was quite pleasant to get the part of the data he wanted, but the closer he got to the sea area where the Northern Town Guard Mansion was located, this emotion slowly disappeared. Instead, there was a long-lost sense of hesitation.

Before arriving at the Northern Guard, Rilan had to make sure of one thing-

"Attitude ......"

"Lord Admiral, may I ask, is there anything that the dragon and phoenix can help with?"

The worried voice interrupted Li Lan's thoughts, and he subconsciously turned around to look: "It's the dragon and the phoenix......"

"Yes" After putting the teacup in her hand on the table, the girl said with a slightly red face: "Although many things are still unclear, Long Feng still hopes to be able to help Lord Admiral......

Even if it's just a little bit.

Without answering Long Feng's question, Li Lan picked up the steaming teacup and took a sip gently.

Raised eyebrows: "Unexpected deliciousness"

"That...... It's all Vajrayogini. The dragon and phoenix did not ......"

"No, no, no, it's all from the King Kong Sect, but what do you say about the tea brewed by the dragon and phoenix......" Looking at the girl whose face turned red quickly, Li Lan smiled narrowly: "It's very family-like?" ”

"Home, home, home - family or something......"

The girl couldn't help but cover her hot cheeks, but instead of stopping, Li Lan continued "to get worse": "There are also cooking and laundry. Many, many things ......."

Nodding, Li Lan concluded in an affirmative tone: "Dragon and Phoenix." I must be a good wife in the future."

“――――――！！！”

The temperature on his cheeks rose directly to the point where he could boil the water, and the dizzy dragon and phoenix in his head were left with only one thought: wife, wife, wife...... Is it - married?

"Okay, no kidding"

Ignoring the stunned and disappointed eyes of the dragon and phoenix, he turned his gaze to the sea in the north again. Li Lan hesitated and said: "Actually, this is not a big deal, the main thing is the attitude of the Admiral of the Northern Town Guard Mansion later."

After quickly sorting out his emotions, Long Feng asked in a low voice, "That, is Lord Admiral bothered about how to communicate with the Admiral of the Northern Town Guard Mansion?" ”

"If it's just communication, then it's better to say," he exhaled. As a result, the calendar of the far star was already officially winter on the day of the end of the deep-sea invasion war, and the difference felt in the south near the equator was not large, but as the distance from the northern town guard gradually decreased, the cold snap from the north could be clearly felt.

Glancing at the gray sky above his head, Li Lan said slowly: "The question is, do I directly set foot on the territory of the Northern Town Guard Mansion as the only Admiral of the Federation, or do I simply 'visit' the Admiral of the Southern Town Guard Mansion......."

"Huh?" Looking at Li Lan suspiciously, Long Feng tilted his head and asked, "Is there any difference between this?" ”

Unlike humans, ship wives don't need to worry about external temperature changes most of the time - unless it's a cold temperature that can freeze a battleship made of steel along with the sea, or a high temperature that melts steel directly, they don't need to care about these "trivialities", and it is because of this that they don't need to add clothes in winter or reduce clothes in summer.

In a way, this is also quite a handy ability.

Looking at the "loose" clothes on Long Feng's body, Li Lan thought so.

It would be nice if the thermostat spell worked......

Putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Li Lan explained to the confused Long Feng: "It's the same Admiral, but the difference between the two is big."

Organizing the wording, Li Lan said slowly: "If I set foot on the Northern Town Guard Mansion as the Federation's 'only Admiral', then including the territory of the entire Northern Town Guard Mansion, whether it is the resources above, the builders, or the ship mother, they all belong to me-"

“…… That ......" looked at Li Lan worriedly, and Long Feng said cautiously: "Lord Admiral, wouldn't it be bad to do this?" Just like ...... Just like ......"

"Just like a robber?"

“……”

Shaking his head helplessly, Lilan continued: "The reality is much more excessive than the bandits, even if I do this, not only will they not be able to resist in any form, but they will also have to honestly dissolve their original establishment and put it into my town guard mansion - according to the content of the federal agreement, this is also the most basic link."

And this is also the survival status of the vast majority of ship girls in the past 300 years, and all the persistence has come to naught under a single order. (To be continued......)
