Fortunately, even if the "Conch" is only a sixth-class ship, after all, it is also worthy of the name of a warship, and as a standard configuration, there is still a copper skin covering the bottom of the ship below the waterline.

The main purpose of this design is to avoid scratching the bottom of the ship and preventing maggots from gnawing on the wood, thereby extending the life of the warship and reducing maintenance costs after each voyage.

Of course, the copper skin covering the bottom of the ship is also a huge expense of the royal navy, which is impossible for most ordinary merchant ships and fishing boats. It's good that they can use pine gum and tar as a coating of "black material".

In this case, the copper skin and the warship reached a huge size of 38 meters, and it was no problem to resist the impact of the big fish for the time being.

But.

But we can't let them continue to attack like this all the time!

"Gary, bring me my alchemy musket!"

Ever since he was attacked by the small sea monster "Shock Conch" for the first time when he went to sea with a ship, Evan has been thinking about how a surface ship can defeat sea monsters and various sea creatures that can attack from any angle under the water.

Expecting them to be able to accommodate human beings and take the initiative to run to the water to fight, it is like many film and television works in the previous life, it is too much to look down on the audience's IQ.

If it weren't for the fact that the attack method of the "Impact Conch" itself was to slide and accelerate on the surface of the sea with less resistance, and to hide underwater and sneak attack, it would not be so easy to solve it.

However, in this era when the level of science and technology is still very backward, the conventional technology of the mundane world is simply not enough to solve this problem.

So try to use your brain.

When he was studying in the "Shadow Library" all day at the Naval Academy, Evan combined the knowledge of his previous life with Anthony, who was good at alchemy utensils and enchantment techniques, to make a gadget that could be used at this time.

Evan has high expectations for this "gadget". If it proves its value in actual combat this time, it may become another standard in the hands of battleship captains in addition to the "sea monster pointer" in the future!

The potential value is huge.

Even, at this time, Evan had in his pocket a "sea monster pointer" that normally only the captain of a fourth-tier battleship or above would be issued, which was also obtained from Anthony.

As a military material distribution, this kind of thing may be very scarce, but as one of the strongholds of the alchemy school, it is still easy for Anthony, who is rich and powerful, to get one from within the "Violet Eye".

For the sake of his own path as a naval captain, Evan can be regarded as painstaking.

"Poof!"

Keeping the crew on their guard, Evan stood alone in the bow of the ship and threw a small brass ball tethered to a tough steel wire into the water.

This alchemy prop, named "Song of the Siren" by Ai Wen, has a very simple function, that is, it emits a very strong infrasound wave after entering the water, which can drive away underwater creatures like the song of the Siren, but it will make them a little... Uncomfortable.

Infrasound generally refers to sound waves with a vibrational frequency between 0.01 and 20 Hz, and the internal organs of living organisms also have their own fixed frequency, which is precisely within this range. When these two frequencies converge at the same time, a resonance reaction will occur, dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, and severe direct death may occur.

The development of "Song of the Siren" is based on this principle.

It's just that the set infrasound frequency excludes the human band to the greatest extent possible, and is close to the unique frequencies of marine life, especially giant sea creatures.

Buzz –

Sound waves, which cannot be picked up by the human ear at all, are indiscriminately emitted from the copper ball. The speed of the sound waves in the water is extremely fast, and the "spear stinging toothfish" that are still slamming into the boat underwater quickly react.

Bang!bang!bang...

I can't even hold on for a few tens of seconds.

One by one, the hideous-looking fish jumped out of the water after moving away from the "Conch", trying to avoid the sonic attack that made them very uncomfortable. Among them, the three fish monsters with more serious symptoms were slightly smaller, and even their bodies were already a little crooked at this time.

"Good chance!"

Prepared, Evan standing in the bow of the boat with a gun decisively shot and shot in strong attack mode!

Bang –

A brilliant line of fire streaked across the sea, piercing a fish monster's head with unparalleled precision the moment it leaped out of the water. Shooting from one eye to the other while the other is unscathed.

The death of their companions/offspring made the remaining four fish monsters go crazy instantly, and their already murderous and bloodthirsty nature was directly detonated.

Although it is temporarily impossible to tell which culprit is based on the poor brain capacity of the fish monster, it does not prevent them from taking the most conspicuous "Conch" in their field of vision as the target of their anger.

Ignoring the invisible attack that made the fish unbearable underwater, the fish monsters rushed back to the battleship.

However, the closer they get to the Conch, the stronger the sonic attack from the Siren's Song becomes. In a state where he couldn't even maintain his sense of balance, he became a live target under Aven's gun.

Bang! Bang!

Less than half a minute later, three more spear-piercing splinterfish fell under Aven's muzzle.

Only the largest and best-kept boss Fish Monster was left charging alone.

At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he discovered the reason why his companions died one after another. After all, it is a real demonic creature, and the "Boss Fish Monster" relies on the body of a powerful real monster, diving underwater from time to time to the limit of its ability to withstand and then jumping to the surface, moving flexibly and trying to dodge Aivan's aiming.

But like a cold steel shaft in its head, the option of turning around and fleeing never came to its mind.

Soon, after the successive sacrifices of his companions attracted Aven's firepower.

The distance between it and the Conch had been reduced to less than fifty meters, and the fish monster could barely make eye contact with Evan with a pair of eyes that were a little muddy due to the continuous infrasonic attacks, but the ferocity was undiminished.

The throat, which has no vocal organs, makes a silent hiss.

The spear-like spikes behind the gills suddenly dislocated and tumbled forward, and the turbulent sea water gushed out of the parotid glands and turned into a violent vortex at the base of the spikes.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh...

Five on one side, a total of ten spikes behind the gills on both sides, under the combined action of muscle strength and water current, flew out with a piercing scream like a siege bed crossbow, and flew straight to Evan, who was standing at the bow of the ship.

"Get down!"

Throwing the "Golden Rose" into Gary's arms behind him, Aven had already drawn his sword out of its sheath and took the initiative to meet the "rain of arrows" that were accumulating.

Bell –

Bell –

A bright lightning bolt slashed through the air with a "Z", and after two deafening metal clashes, two frontal "crossbow arrows" were picked up from the side by Ai Wen with superb swordsmanship.

However, driven by the huge force, this majestic kinetic energy is not so easy to counteract, although he slashed the spear and stabbed Evan himself was knocked out of the bow of the ship, landed on the deck, and stepped back several steps before stopping castration.

Fortunately, the "Song of the Siren" is not without an impact on the toughest big fish, at least the accuracy of this wave of "Arrow Rain" is extremely poor.

Except for the two that hit head-on, the others either flew high into the sky, or were blocked by the bow tower, and failed to cause any casualties to the ship's crew at all.

Well, except for one that flew too high and broke through the sail.

It's just a minor problem that can be easily fixed.

Bang –

Evan leaped back to the bow of the ship.

Sure enough, the book is better than no book, and the introduction of the "Spear Piercing Tooth Fish" in the "Demonized Biological Genealogy" I saw did not have this spell-like ability that could fire "crossbow arrows" at all.

Unguarded, let it get too close and almost suffer.

I thought that having an alchemy musket in hand, no matter how big or small the fish monster was, was just a matter of one shot, even if I let it last for nothing.

"Captain, here you go!"

Retrieving the "Golden Rose" from Gary's hand, Evan prepares to finish it off in one go.

"Huh?"

Before Evan could shoot, in the scope, the leader of the "spear stinging toothfish" had already flipped up on its belly.

After emitting this kind of spell ability, it was already greatly damaged, and it was hard to carry the close attack of infrasound, even the demonized creatures with strong bodies could not resist at this time.

"Dismount!"

Without waiting for Aven's orders, after the battle, the sailors had already lowered the dinghy and scooped up the corpses of the five demonized fish monsters.

Seeing the hideous fish monster with an average length of more than ten meters, covering almost the entire deck of the "Conch", the crew looked at their new captain with more and more awe.

In this era, the sea was not the same as the army knights, and the dangers and high mortality rates made only those who really capable of being convinced by others.

Obviously, the new captain of the "Conch", Major Aven, is exactly such a person!

Maybe.

Today, even without Aiwen, the "Conch" could eventually escape with the strong hull and artillery deterrence of the warship, but the loss of personnel was absolutely inevitable.

That situation can't be compared with the results of the current annihilation of the five demonized fish monsters!

"Your Excellency, what are we going to do with these fish monsters?" asked the ship's first mate, Borg, who was in charge of logistics, cautiously walked over to Evan and bowed.

"Well, pick a small one for everyone to eat today. Clean up the rest and marinate it, and dispose of it when you return to Hong Kong. ”

Evan thought of the celebratory feast that had been held after the first capture of the Kraken on the Silverwing, and although the Demonized Fish Monster was a little lower, it was rare enough for the average sailor.

Although the overall idea of the upper ruling class is to limit the spread of the extraordinary, after all, they have served on the turbulent sea for a long time, and the soldiers still have some insight.

Realizing the value of the demonized fish monster, they cheered when they heard this!

"Long live Your Excellency Captain!"

The deck was immediately in full swing, and the sailors who were not on duty for the time being started to help clean up the fish monsters.

"Wait!"

The two sailors were holding the head of the leader of the "Spear Gill Splittooth" and were about to disembowel it down the jaw, when Evan suddenly stopped their movements in some excitement.

Ignoring the blood stains on the ground, he took two steps forward, broke open the big mouth of the fish monster full of sharp teeth and fangs, reached in and grabbed something, and broke it with force.

Click-

"Luckily, it really condensed!"

Facing the sun, a tooth with a slight blue glow in the blood-stained palm shone in the sunlight. To Aven, or even any knight, it was more glamorous than the finest jewels.

That's a transcendent trait that belongs to the "Spear Spike Toothfish"!

In terms of quality alone, this transcendent trait is only under the "Blue Flag Demon Shark" that Evan once used. Today I really hit a big luck! After an encounter, there is such an unexpected gain.

Well, maybe the lucky one is...

Turning his head to look behind him, Gary who is also following in the footsteps, positioning himself as a bodyguard.
