Act Twenty-Two: The North Sea Monster
On deck.
The stormy waves swept in, and the main deck of the Nautilus, which was originally open and neat, was now full of blood.
The huge tentacles tilted the giant ship directly, as if it was about to be dragged directly into the sea, and around it, countless hideous monsters roared, jumping onto the deck one after another, trying to invade the cabin.
"Hold the gate and don't let those monsters in!!"
Second mate Davey led the sailors, flintlock muskets in hand, and stood guard at the door of the cabin.
"Reload!"
Davey was originally a military man, but he was fired for committing an accident, and after a few turns, he became a sailor, and finally mixed up in the position of second officer on the Nautilus, his face was angular and showed a bit of fortitude.
Sailors loaded their ammunition into their muzzles, and these guns were the earliest front-loading smoothbore guns, which could only hit targets at a considerable distance, but were already among the best weapons for sailors who did not know magic and were not very strong.
"Steady!"
Davey did not let the sailors shoot freely, and at this distance, firing at random would only waste ammunition and leave a gap in his own garrison.
With a roar, from the mouth of the giant North Sea Monster, countless monsters erupted, mostly variants of sea creatures, with sharp teeth, thick skin, and many slippery tentacles.
The monsters fell into the water, and continued to climb up the outer wall of the Nautilus, and some landed directly on the deck, and after a moment of dizziness, they rushed to the smell of people.
"First team on standby!"
Davey divided the sailors into two teams, one to shoot and the other to load, a battle pattern he had learned in the army.
Countless monsters rushed in, and although they had no special abilities, they possessed extremely high combat power in their own right, and could rival the fiercest beasts on land, making them formidable.
Many sailors had never experienced such a big scene, and they couldn't stop shaking, and even the hand holding the gun was a little unsteady.
"Wait. ”
Davey knew that shooting now would not have any effect, and that he would have to wait until the monster got closer.
But how could sailors who had never seen the world understand this, in their opinion, the tide of monsters was about to swallow itself.
"Shoot!"
Finally, when someone couldn't hold it anymore and was about to fall to his knees, Davey roared.
Bang Bang -
Some haphazard gunshots rang out, followed by a wave of monsters.
The monster at the front broke the blood flow, and the body lost its strength, becoming the block of the monsters behind, and this round of salvo fire also eliminated at least more than ten monsters.
Davi did not let up and immediately waved his hand, the first team stepped back to reload ammunition, and the second team filled the vacant space.
"Second team, fire!"
There was another burst of gunfire, and the second wave of monsters fell.
At the same time, the first team also reloaded its ammunition and fired another volley.
After such an attack, a third of the monsters on the deck had been eliminated, but at the same time, these monsters were so close that they could no longer rely on muskets to fight back.
"All staff, draw your sword!"
Sailors did not use long swords, but a slightly shorter type of knives with thick blades that relied heavily enough to rely on their weight to cut through the hardest carapaces.
"Hold the Nautilus!"
Davey's blood was boiling, he hadn't been on the battlefield for many years, and the smell of blood that he hadn't seen for a long time made him feel excited, and this was where he wanted to belong.
But Davey did not notice that the sailors around him were all looking at him with extreme fear, and they all retreated, as if they were hiding from something terrible.
"Rush ...... Ugh!"
Before Dawei finished speaking, he was bound by several thick and viscous tentacles, and the whole person was thrown into the sky, only to hear a crisp sound of bones breaking, and Dawei's body in mid-air twisted in an absolutely impossible direction, and then fell into the sea.
The next moment, countless monsters collided with the defense line of the sailors.
......
Inside the bridge, Captain Moni was watching all of this with a serious expression.
"Captain, a flare has been fired, but in this fog of loss, it is unlikely to be seen. ”
First mate Asner said worriedly.
"It's been a few years since a monster of this level has appeared in the offshore waters, and I'm afraid that even if the Atlantean fleet comes, it may not be able to compete with it. ”
Captain Moni whispered, clenching his fists.
The North Sea Monster has the power to destroy ships in legends, but in the actual investigation, they found that this monster from the depths of the endless sea does not act alone, there are thousands of monster legions inhabiting the body of the North Sea Monster, this monster is more like a battleship full of soldiers.
Moreover, the North Sea Giant Demon is not only huge, but also has the strength of bronze or above, the magic wall is extremely strong, and ordinary attacks cannot be broken at all, even if there is a bronze level powerhouse, it is difficult to compete with the huge North Sea Giant Demon in this endless ocean.
Some of the passengers with martial arts had already taken the initiative to fight, but they could only hold the cabin, but they couldn't help the oversized monster in front of them.
Fina shuddered, she had never been in such a critical situation, and instinctively she curled up and watched the vast tide of monsters on the deck.
Bang –
Suddenly, something hit the window of the bridge, and when everyone looked at it, they realized that it was a human arm, with a blur of flesh and blood, and a short knife in its hand.
"What to do, Captain?"
The first officer, Asna, asked, even if he abandoned the ship now, it would be difficult to escape the doom of being eaten by the monsters, and the patrol fleet that was counting on the offshore was too far away, and the current situation was desperate.
"We ......"
Captain Moni was about to speak, only to hear a roar, the huge and thick tentacles came directly towards the bridge, and under that blow, let alone the bridge, the entire bridge tower of the Nautilus would be destroyed.
And everyone could only watch the tentacles fly in, powerless to stop it.
Bang –
A deafening sound erupted, shattering the glass of all windows, and Fina couldn't help but close her eyes, but the last sight made her stop closing her eyes.
The huge, powerful, tentacles that were about to destroy the bridge actually stopped.
And in front of the tentacle, there was a man standing there.
The man was shrouded in a gray coat, looking down on his appearance, and in his hand, he held a long knife that he had picked up from nowhere.
Fina immediately recognized that this was the same strong man who was the squire of Irandall, who had knocked the powerful mercenary Sartre away with just one blow.
"A little late. ”
That man, Lawson said lightly.
