Chapter 439: Baltic Empire (3)
The shark that was hit by Alia's attack did not die, but swung its body vigorously because of the sharp pain from the wound, swimming forward, the shark's face had a rare panicked expression, and the eyes that served as a window to the soul revealed fear that was difficult to hide.
The blood flowed out of the wound as the shark swam, and spread to the surface of the sea as the water flowed, and from the angle of Bambi standing on the side of the boat, the originally clear water was muddy by the shark's blood.
"What, Alia, we haven't seen each other for so long, and now you can't even kill a shark? ”
Although Bambi wondered why with Alia's strength, she couldn't even kill a shark, but this didn't prevent her from using this to laugh at the other party, at least the opportunity to make Alia feel bad, Bambi would never let it go easily.
"Look at it well, don't always be so stupid, don't know how to laugh all day long, we haven't known each other for a day or two, your fake smile, only an idiot will believe it. ”
Alia slammed back mercilessly, she stretched out her arm full of strong muscles, and there were some strange tattoos on the arm, pointing to the shark that was still fleeing in panic, and said with a look of disdain.
"The wonderful moment, it's only starting now, keep your eyes open, see clearly, see the gap between us. ”
With Alia's words, a new situation appeared on the entire sea surface, and the sea surface stained red with blood began to boil, and under the sunlight, countless schools of fish jumped rapidly.
Bambi looked at it, what kind of fish it was, it was a school of sharks at all, a two-sideburns shark with a strange hammer-like head, a thresher shark known as the all-powerful killer in the sea, a saw shark with a saw-like snout on its head, a Greenland shark that could hunt white bears, a Gablin shark that only haunted the deep sea, and all kinds of sharks that could and could not be named, came to the surface like crazy, and quickly chased the injured shark in the front of the escape.
"Sharks are creatures that, unlike other sea beasts, are also very different from most fish. ”
As Alia explained to Bambi, she aimed a small crossbow arrow at a huge Greenlandic shark in the middle of the shark school, and shot a triangular crossbow arrow into its back, and the blood immediately spread down the wound into the surrounding water.
"Don't look at the fact that they don't have fish scales or anything like that, there are more dinosaurs like dragons than fish, but they do belong to a type of fish. ”
"Their hunting method is similar to that of the winter wolves in Scandinavia, so in the Baltic Sea, other sea tribes also like to call sharks [wolves of the sea], the strength of the individual is not strong, but in the face of a group of sharks, no matter who will feel a headache. ”
"Speaking of which, I have to mention again, if you were not on the surface of the sea a few days ago, but in the bottom of the sea, maybe you would be like those Yaats, with strong individual strength, excellent equipment, and the hole cards that can carry out madness, you will still fall in the sand and lose in the face of wolf pack tactics. ”
As Alice's henchmen, Aria and the others also knew about the loss of the Yeat berserker to the gnolls in a frontal battlefield battle, and after analysis, they found that the tactics used by the jackals were strikingly similar to the tactics used by the wolves hunting, all of which gave up the frontal confrontation and adopted the way of swimming attacks, using the terrain and long-range attacks as much as possible to consume the enemy's physical strength, and then when the enemy was exhausted, they completed the killing blow.
"Of course I know that, and besides, I can't go into the water even if I want to, we vampires can't swim. ”
Bambi's face was slightly embarrassed, and Aria's words hit the pain in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that vampires instinctively couldn't swim, couldn't move in the water, and hated water in her heart, she might have really used magic to rush into the sea that day.
"Forget it, take a good look at the gap between the two of us. ”
Within a few minutes of the two of them talking, there was a new change in the sea, and one of the two injured sharks, the one in the group of sharks, was being attacked by the frenzied attacks of his companions around him.
In just a few moments, a large piece of flesh was torn off its body, revealing the bloodshot white bones below, and it seemed that before long the whole shark would be gnawed into a single bone, just like the unfortunate rhinoceros man before.
"This ...... What's going on? How can they even attack their companions? ”
"So, it's good to read a little more, uh, okay, okay, I'm not going to talk about it. ”
Alia wanted to say something, but seeing Bambi's fiery eyes and clenched fists, she wisely stopped her taunt, although there was a conflict between the two, but if it developed into a conflict, it would only make Alice disappointed in the two, which was something they definitely didn't want to see.
"Sharks are creatures that have the same sensitive sense of smell as wolves on land, and are particularly sensitive to smells in seawater, especially the rusty smell of blood. ”
"As soon as there is blood in the sea, it attracts sharks from the surrounding sea, and then attacks the creatures that shed blood, and goes on a hunting spree that belongs only to sharks. ”
For example, if a shark under normal circumstances has a human IQ of about fifteen years old, then the shark after being stimulated by blood will only be equivalent to a child of one or two years old, and the only desire to eat will be left in the brain. ”
"Well, of course, if it is the pressure of facing a strong opponent, they can also suppress the urge to eat and hunt in their hearts, just like in the battle where Lord Alice defeated the coalition army, the sharks only dared to swim far away from the battlefield, but did not dare to enter the battlefield to eat. ”
At the time of this, the besieged shark was already the breath of life, floating on the surface of the water with its belly facing up, but the surrounding sharks did not choose to enjoy their trophies.
In the vicinity of the corpse, several sharks fell into the siege of other sharks, these sharks are from different races, but they have the only thing in common, that is, during the first round of siege, they all suffered some wounds caused by counterattacks.
"They chase blood just like we vampires, but this trait can also be the main cause of their death in many cases, and when stimulated by blood, they will attack regardless of whether the target is a companion or not. ”
"Wait, this chaos will continue for a long time, because of the previous battle, a large part of the sharks in the entire Baltic Sea are concentrated here, and it will not be so fast until they finish killing each other. ”
Alia turned away from the side of the ship, and she waved her hand with her back to Bambi as she walked in the direction of the captain's quarters, knowing that there must be a smug smile on it, even if she didn't see her face.
"Wait, Arya, are you making a mistake? We didn't discuss it like this before, and the ultimate goal was not to wipe out these sharks, but because they were affecting our work here, I came to you for help. ”
Bambi clasped her hands on her chest and said with a frowning and a dark face, originally she came here to ask Alia for help, and endured her taunts and tirades, in order to make the work of transporting supplies go smoothly and prevent Alice from being delayed.
But she didn't expect that Alia would actually use such a one-and-done way to solve the shark school cruising near Rice Island, well, if there is no accident, judging from Alia's confident appearance just now, the shark population in the Baltic Sea will be crazy and drastically reduced after this battle, and it will take many years to restore to today's scale.
However, the huge problem in front of Bambi and Alia now is that they are standing on the big boat, and they are indeed not affected by the crazy cannibalistic sharks in the sea, but there is no way for the small boat to be transported, and the small boat for transport, along with the goods and people transported on it, will fall into the sea.
In other words, Bambi came to find Alia's help, but instead of really solving the problem, it developed the problem to a point where it was difficult to solve, and neither of them had the ability to solve this crazy group of sharks.
Alia's footsteps in the air paused completely, and her bright smile froze on her face, what could have been done to hit Bambi was even worse under the smugness.
“………… Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault, is it okay?"
Alia blushed and screamed with her eyes closed, she felt ashamed to death, if there was a crack in the ground at this time, she would definitely get in and hide her body, at least avoid Bambi's angry and disdainful gaze.
"Now you're dwelling on my mistakes, and it's useless, the most important thing you should think about is how to deal with this problem. ”
Alika raised her hand, and before Bambi could start a tirade, she directly blocked her words, and now the two of them were grasshoppers on a rope, if there was no way to solve the problem in front of them, and they could not transport the materials to the island as soon as possible, delaying the mission of Alia's fleet, then the two of them would inevitably be punished by Semiramis.
Alice is a lazy person, a pragmatist and an energy-saver, and she believes in not crying over spilled milk, so even if her people make mistakes, she usually does not punish them, but sums up the experience and lessons learned, and finds a way to make the mistake not happen a second time.
But Semiramis is different, in her opinion, as long as you make a mistake, you must be punished, and only in this way can you make her people afraid of making mistakes, so that no matter what they do, they will be motivated by this fear.
Thinking of Semiramis's punishment, the two vampire girls whose strength was close to that of legends shuddered, if they could, they wouldn't want to go through those terrible things buried in the depths of their minds again.
"You must have weapons on your ship that can be used to attack, right? Wouldn't it be nice to take them all out and kill these sharks? and then with some extensive magic, you should be able to get rid of these sharks before dark...... Right?"
As he spoke, Bambi himself became less confident, and leaned out from the side of the ship to look out into the sea below, and all he saw were sharks fighting, hundreds, thousands, and even five-figure scales.
In this terrifying situation, the attack of the two people who have not even reached the legend is estimated to be unable to set off any storms, not to mention that the equipment on the ship cannot be used casually.
Otherwise, when they run out of ammunition, these ships will turn into wooden coffins floating on the surface of the sea if they encounter the enemy, especially the wyverns who like to hunt at night, and they will definitely not recommend tasting the taste of rhinoceros people.
"This can't be done, if there is really no way, the remaining materials on the ship will be transported next time, and the important things have been transported anyway, and the lack of these remaining things will not affect anything. ”
"Hehe, it's really nice to think about, these magic materials on the ship are to be provided to those children in training, without these things, it will delay their learning progress, and then affect the construction of Lord Brunhilde's temple, can you afford this responsibility, Alia?"
Of course, the situation wasn't as bad as Bambi said, and the materials stored on the island were enough for the three little ones to use for a long time, at least not until the next time Alia's fleet came here.
However, this does not prevent Bambi from using this as an excuse to exaggerate the problem and force Alia to work with her to solve the problems they are facing.
Seeing that the problem was implicated by Bambi to Lord Brünnhilde, Alia had no other way, after all, in terms of status, Brünnhilde's status was the same as that of Semiramis, and if there was a problem in Brünnhilde's temple because of herself, she would face not only the punishment of Semiramis, but also Alice's anger.
