Chapter XIII: Naval Battles I

【Northwest Sea Expedition Lulan Sea Area】

The sailing ships of the expedition were heading in a certain direction on the vast sea, and many people who had never been to sea often felt inexplicable fear when they saw the empty sea around them, and the emptiness of the sea level made it difficult for first-time sailors to get used to, but at this time they had no time to be afraid, because something more terrible was being held for them, such as Cruise.

In the cabin, more than a hundred people sat in the staircase-like conference hall, standing in front of them was Cruise, the newcomers did not know about Cruise, if it wasn't for some veterans to introduce, they would definitely feel that this was a prodigal son from a small city, this identity of them, the pampered magicians in the imperial capital are naturally looked down upon, however, mentioning that Cruise participated in two expeditions, and after serving as the captain in the last expedition, people began to be in awe, this experience, Even the current president of the Empire's Wizards' Guild, Thor, would give him a respectful greeting when he saw him.

"I won't say much nonsense, first of all, you join the expedition with the determination to die, but some of you are already experienced, my old fellows. Of course, there are some of you who are novices, and for novices, I have only one requirement - to obey my commands completely, remember, completely, without any room for negotiation, and if you want to disobey orders, then please, it is not my responsibility to lose my life. Cruise's words were short and powerful, and Gina and Donnie, who were sitting below, were well aware of this man's strength, and although they were elves and could hardly bow to him due to their noble status, they still chose to obey in order to survive.

"Alright, I'm going to divide the squad now, Deacon Mars, you take the people from the Burning Guild, they should all be magicians, okay, let them do the magic support in the back. By the way, Mars, come and introduce us to that beautiful young lady, she is really moving, come, introduce me. Cruise saw Narissa sitting next to Mars, and he saw something unusual in the woman.

"This ...... It's Narissa of the Ice Guild, well, a goddess ......" Before he could say the word "stick", he felt Nalisa's strong hostility, so he swallowed a stick word stiffly: "She is very powerful, I think it is better to put her in our team as the rear row firepower." ”

"Captain, I refuse to be on the same team as an idiot." Narissa's cold voice made Marston feel a chill in his back, and Cruise shook his head and said: "This young lady should go to the assault team, ice magic will work very well in the assault team, let me introduce the captain of the assault team - Dragon, he is good at using shields and spears, that's right, Mr. Dragon, come on, let everyone take a look at you, and say hello to everyone." At the beckoning of Cruise, a big man stood up, his body was extremely strong, with a shield and a spear behind him, he had lion-like eyes and hair, and Ike thought at first glance that this was a powerful guy, it should be the kind of magic that Mars said would act on the body.

"Hello everyone!" His voice was rough and powerful, and when he had finished speaking, he bowed slightly and then sat down where he had just been, and Cruise cleared his throat and said:

"Deacon Mars's fireteam, Mr. Dragon's assault team, friends of the East, you form a guard team to clean up monsters that may be dangerous to the team, and, Dr. House, of the medical team, well, I think you all know that he is a veteran of two expeditions like me. Also, a few juniors of the elf clan, although you are strong, but you are extremely inexperienced, follow me, it's best not to get separated, that kid ......" Cruise looked at Ike with a headache: "You go to logistics to help them take care of things, just do it, end the meeting." ”

Ike still maintained a state where his jaw was about to drop, and the people around him had already left their seats, Donny looked at Ike with a very hideous expression, and patted him on the shoulder happily, Gina also showed a very bright smile, and the happiest one who laughed was none other than Lord Lan, she was so happy to see Ike out of trouble, and she had been cursing this rotten person in her heart to die quickly.

"All I can say is that you're so bad here, boy, look at them all laughing at you haha." Ace looked at Ike, he turned his head to Ace like a robot, and said viciously, "Do you want Annie to accompany you?" Ace was silent in an instant.

"Quick! Gentlemen, something has come out of the sea! A crew member hurriedly shouted, Cruise and several captains hurriedly rushed to the deck, he took the telescope from the sailor's hand, and saw that about five hundred meters ahead, a huge head slowly rose, the smooth head reflected the oily light, a pair of empty eyes seemed to be ghosts in the abyss, those inexperienced newcomers saw its appearance and their legs were weak, Cruise hurriedly said:

"Dragon! Gather the assault team, protect the side of the ship, and the Orientals beware of tentacles that may emerge from the bottom of the sea at any time, Mars, hit hard! And artillery! Bombard with artillery! Hurry up, hurry up! "The Cruise schedule was very clear, and at that time, the teams were in place.

"What's that?" Someone asked, and Cruise replied very calmly: "The most likely guy to encounter in the offshore, the overlord squid, it has been rampant on the offshore side recently, and it often comes out of the bottom of the sea. ”

"Captain! Something is pouring up in the sea! One of the team members said, and the dragon glanced underneath the side of the ship, where several half-human, half-fish creatures were crawling towards the boat with harpoons.

"It's a fishman! Quick, knock them down with a stick, this kind of thing is not easy to deal with with with a sword, it is covered in slippery scales! As the dragon spoke, a huge tentacle poked out from under the sea, and on top of the tentacles, dozens of hideous fishmen were crowded, and they jumped onto the boat and landed on the deck, causing a panic among the newcomers.

"Don't ...... Stay back! A newcomer drew his sword in fear and looked at the fish-man with a shudder, and its eyes were fixed on the man's body with a very hollow eye.

"Get out of the way!" A sound rang out like exploding gunpowder, and the flames in Mars's hands shot like arrows at the fish-men who had landed on the deck, and the flames fell on them, and the creatures let out a wail of pain.

"The body temperature of the fish people is very low, and their bodies are also very fragile, just hit them hard!" Cruise's words made them all pick up their weapons and shoot at the fallen fishmen.

The spear in the dragon's hand stabbed fiercely at the fishmen who tried to climb up, and his spear glowed with a misty white light - it was blessed magic that pierced the slippery skin of the fishmen: "Assault team! Defeat the climbing fish-men, and leave the fish-people on deck alone! ”

The huge tentacles were still sending the people to the deck, and at this time, the escort formed by the orientals fulfilled their duties, and the magic weapons in the hands of the three princes showed their magic powers, so that the fishmen could not get a foothold on the deck and died under the sword. Ran's job is to celebrate the victory with laughter.

"I'm sick of it! Why are they so happy out there and I'm peeling potatoes here! Ike crouched in the cabin, facing a mountain of potatoes, grumbling, and Ace floated leisurely in the air, ignoring Ike's complaints, for he was not interested in the petty fights.

"Hey, why don't we take advantage of the chaos to go out and have a look, no one will care about us anyway." Ike whispered to Ace, and Ace gave him a blank look: "You must no one care?" Don't you think we're too popular, the lord of the East, and the elven fellows, Mars, and the sadistic Anne who troubles me to the extreme? ”

"That's right...... But ......" Just as Ike retorted, a strange thing suddenly appeared in the potato pile, it seemed to be the withered bones of some creature, he hesitated and looked at it, but it didn't come to pass, it was a withered arm: "This...... What the hell is this! ”

As he shouted, Ace had already turned into a solid form, and he looked at the hatch and asked, "Who are you?" The hatch slowly opened, and a man in a sailor's suit entered, his face masked, wearing a white scarf, and his body smelled of decay, and giggles came from under his mask.

"Dream Apostle? Don't worry, I'm just here to get my arm back, we're not enemies now, oh, at least not yet. The man's voice was hoarse and disgusting, like the sound of a withered wood breaking.

"I don't believe a word of the undead, how did you get into this ship, or what are your intentions for this team?" The undead let out a chilling laugh when he heard Ace's words. "Don't worry, I'm just doing what I'm told, there's something on this ship that threatens our great master, I'm just here to check it out, no, no, or rather, scouting, humans always like to use more advanced words." Ike gouged his nose when he saw the guy, and it only had one hand, so he thought of a very interesting way to tease the so-called undead.

"The undead, I've never seen it, the angel is the dog leg of God, are you the dog leg of the god of death?" Ike asked, the undead was a little surprised, and looked at the human and let out a contemptuous laugh, Ike didn't like this kind of laughter, at this time, he released his murderous aura for the second time, which was much more stable than last time, not as violent as that night, he drew his long sword and gestured at the undead: "I'm curious, what can make this guy suddenly serious, last time it was Annie, this time, what kind of guy will you be." Ike said, the spirit bead on his left wrist emitted a faint light, like a vast North Star, glittering.

"Fire!" At Cruise's command, more than a dozen cannons on the deck shot huge cannonballs at the behemoth in the sea, and the magicians' fireballs also flew towards it, and suddenly, the monster squid's head was injured by the cannonball, and the luster became dim, but Cruise saw a figure standing behind the squid, he had gray-white hair, and his pupils, the same color as his hair, were also gray-white, a dragon scale armor attached to the surface of his body, and in his hand was an eerie white bone sword.

When Narissa saw the figure, the horror in her heart was indescribable, she didn't know what it was, but the terrifying aura he exuded really frightened her, and she could clearly feel that his gaze was directed towards hers.

"The hunt has begun." He spat out a word, and the squid's eyes turned blood-red, and hundreds of terrifying tentacles poured up from the bottom of the sea, and the surface of the sea became a forest of tentacles.

A smile appeared on Cruise's lips and he silently said his name: "Morgan." ”
