Chapter 179: The Fish-Man Strikes

"Left full rudder! Be quick! Sakurahime shouted loudly, and the helmsman immediately did as he said, and the flagship "Royal Knight" on which Roger and the others were riding immediately changed the direction of progress.

As the flagship deflected, the rest of the ships began to turn their rudders, and then rushed diagonally into the sudden rise of the fog.

Sakurahime's eyes were still closed, and the quaint round mirror in her hand was constantly emitting a faint blue light, revealing a mysterious aura.

Sakurahime's guard ninja Sayuri and Onmyoji Servant Xiao Ming were looking around nervously, and after the "Royal Knight" plunged headlong into the thick fog, their field of vision began to shrink sharply, until now they couldn't even see the scene ten meters away.

However, the white fog continued to thicken, and countless black shadows quickly approached the fleet under the cover of the thick fog.

"It's now! All of them! Right full rudder! Sakurahime's eyes were still closed, but her words were directly transmitted to the ears of all the helmsmen under the effect of her instantaneously expanding heroic aura. There was not much room for hesitation at all, and all the helmsmen almost subconsciously obeyed Sakurahime's instructions at the same time in their nervousness and uneasiness, and filled the rudder to the right in unison.

The fleet led by the "Royal Knight" immediately changed course again, and directly crushed the bodies of the black shadows that were approaching in the dense fog.

Roger, who had just rushed out of the cabin, immediately felt a slight shock to the hull of the ship, as if the bottom of the ship had hit something. Although the feeling was not strong, Roger was sure that it was not his delusion!

"What's going on?" Nodding at Melia, who had slipped down the rope from the lookout, Roger asked Sakurahime nervously.

Sakurahime didn't reply. Just flattened the mirror in his hand, and ripples like water waves immediately appeared on the mirror. And when the ripples slowly subsided. A strange figure had already appeared in the mirror.

The figure was very ugly, and it looked like a giant monster fish covered with pimples with long legs and legs. And now the figure was opening its mouth full of fangs. Closely following another similar-looking figure, he swam towards a large black shadow.

However, when they got closer, the figure was stunned to find that the huge black shadow was actually speeding in their direction!

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, and a puddle of blood suddenly spread rapidly in the sea.

The figure that escaped by a timely dive hesitated for a moment, and then quickly swam towards the tail of the huge black shadow that was moving away.

"Sure enough, it's a fishman." Feeling another slight shock to the hull of the ship, Roger, who was staring closely at the mirror, raised his eyebrows, "How long will it take for these guys to climb on board?" ”

"Yes, although it is not clear for the time that these fish-men belong to which clan, it is clear that these fish-men are coming for us." Sakurahime's eyes were still closed. But as if he could see the expression on Roger's face, he said slowly, "I have just dodged a surprise attack from these fishmen, but they obviously do not intend to give up, at most, a fishman will climb onto the side of the ship." ”

"A quarter of an hour, that's enough!" Roger nodded, turned to the top of the cabin and shouted, "Wendy! Cast spells with me! Let's blow away this fog together! ”

"Humph! I don't need your help! I can do it all by myself! Wendy's shrill voice pierced through the fog and echoed in Roger's ears.

"Squeak!"

Just as Wendy answered Roger in a loud voice, Alice, who had hurriedly grabbed her weapon, rushed out of the hatch. Unfortunately, Alice stepped on a wet and smooth plank, and then slipped directly to Roger's side.

"I said you, be careful! This deck is very slippery. I was really speechless and helped Alice, who was going to rush to Roger's side but almost slipped. Roger smiled wryly and shook his head, "Okay, hurry up and inform your subordinates." Get ready to take on the attack. ”

"Wait a minute! I don't even know who the enemy is. Alice, who had managed to stabilize her body with the help of Roger's "one hand" and did not slip directly, immediately protested, but when she saw the figures revealed in the mirror in Sakurahime's hand. Immediately gritted his teeth.

"It's a fishman?"

Without waiting for Roger's nod, Alice also opened her heroic aura. His voice suddenly rang out on every ship: "All of them, kill all these stinky fish heads for me!" ”

Looking at Alice, who was excited and imposing, holding the Demon Breaking Sword in his hand, Roger raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The fish-people race are closer to unintelligent beasts than sea elves and naga, who are intelligent creatures. These guys are like hyenas in the savannah, and whether it is a sea elf or a Naga, these brainless sea tribes dare to provoke. And if they are hungry or smell blood, they will even run to the land to attack the coastal villages and towns. Due to their moist skin, the fish-people are more amphibians than fish, allowing them to move freely on land for a short period of time, which makes the fish-people cause far more harm to Terran towns than warlike races like the Naga.

The small villages and towns near Sikerd, the commercial capital of the coastal city, are often attacked by the Fish-People, and each time they cause a lot of trouble for those small towns and villages. For this reason, the mercenary union and the adventurer union in the merchant capital Siquold have always hung tasks such as "killing the fishmen" on the task boards.

Such a race is a rare race that is wanted by both the land race and the sea race, and it belongs to the kind of low-class goods that absolute grandpa doesn't love grandma and doesn't love.

However, what makes scholars very entangled is that although they want to position this fish-man clan as a sea beast rather than a sea tribe, there will be some individuals with high intelligence in the fish-man clan from time to time, and these fish-people with good brains are like ogres in ogres and kobold warlocks in kobolds, and they are born with the ability to call the tides. He is known to scholars as the "Tidal Warlock".

This makes the Fish-People eventually classified as a member of the Sea Clan.

Nine times out of ten, the fog was the work of the fish-heads who could call the tide, and the attack on the fog was one of the few simple tactics that the fish-man warlocks with long brains could come up with.

On Alice's orders. There was a noticeable noise from all the ships, including the flagship "Royal Knight". The alchemy soldiers spontaneously formed a small team and slowly walked to the side of the ship, waiting for the fish people to emerge.

"Hoo ......"

At this moment, the hurricane brought by Wendy just in time. The roaring hurricane soon completely blew away the not-so-heavy fog. Although there were still some clumps of fog on the sea in the distance, it no longer affected the crew's vision.

Seeing that the troublesome fog had finally lifted, cheers were heard from all the ships. But these cheers were only halfway through when they turned into shouts and sword clashes.

Fish-people have webbed hands and feet, which allows them to move quickly through the water. However, when the Fish-Folk attempt to cling to the hull of the ship, the open fingers and webbed membranes form a sucker-like structure. This makes it easy for the Fish-People to climb onto the hull of the ship and silently approach the side of the ship.

As the fog was blown away, the fish-man warriors who had successfully clinged to the hull were spotted by the soldiers guarding the side of the ship. The soldiers, who had already received Alice's orders, immediately launched an attack on the "fish heads", and the injured fish people screamed and fell to the surface of the sea one by one, dyeing the nearby sea red.

Some of the fishmen who avoided the attack jumped directly from the ship's hull and tried to jump onto the ship, but of course they were often cut into several pieces by the infantrymen's long swords. As a result, the peculiar fishy smell of the fish-people mixed with the smell of blood quickly spread across the ship.

However, the troubles of the Fish-People have only just been revealed!

Fish heads are constantly popping up on the surface of the sea, similar to lowly races such as goblins and kobolds. The Fish-People also have a terrifying ability to reproduce, and often a small tribe can easily have tens of thousands of Fish-People!

Of course, small tribes will definitely not be able to support so many fishmen, so these fishmen will go out to "hunt" under the leadership of the fish-man patriarch or the tideman.

Luckily. The strength of the fishmen is generally low, and they generally only hovering around the first and second orders. And those who can successfully advance to the third order or above will soon become the guardians of those important people in the clan, such as the Fishman patriarch or those Tidewarlocks.

And now. The fishmen who appeared in front of Roger and his party were all the lowest cannon fodder of the first and second order, and they were quite vulnerable in front of the legions of the human race and the elemental race who were also the lowest of the fourth order. But after seeing the blood. The fishmen also gradually became crazy, and began to throw the stone spears and bone spears in their hands directly at the soldiers on the side of the ship. The boat gang began to bang as well.

Of course, these fishmen, who were closer to the beasts, were not angry at the death of their companions, but because of the smell of blood, the remaining fishmen became more bloodthirsty and ...... Hunger!

The saliva fishmen began to charge frantically towards the fleet! From time to time, a fish-man jumps out of the sea and hits the boat headfirst! Under the frantic attack of the Fish-People, the soldiers' defensive lines began to show holes, and from time to time a stronger Fish-Man successfully climbed onto the side of the ship and launched an attack on the soldiers.

"Wow", "Wow", "Wow......

A steady stream of footsteps slowly came from the cabin, and Ke'er slowly walked out of the cabin with a cold face. The chill brought by her body made the nearby soldiers subconsciously get out of the way, and some sharp-eyed soldiers even felt very unbelievable to find that the originally slippery deck was actually frozen directly!

Coldly glanced around, and the corners of Kerr's mouth, who noticed the actions of these crazy fish-man warriors, slowly showed a sneer.

"Is that what you guys are making a fuss about?" Kerr's voice was not high, but it echoed in everyone's ears very clearly, and Roger, who didn't know why, suddenly looked at Kerr, who was at the hatch of the ship, in surprise.

It's the first time he's seen such an angry Kerr.

"O water elemental! Obey me! Gather in front of me......" Kerr began to chant loudly, and the heroic evidence on his body glowed with a dazzling blue glow.

The Water Elemental Ball [Water Indifference] slowly floated out of Roger's body, slowly emitting the same dark blue brilliance, echoing the water elemental fluctuations caused by Kerr. Roger's face was very strange to find that the elemental language that he didn't understand at all was now somewhat understandable.

To be precise, it is not to understand, but to understand the meaning inexplicably.

Because he was fascinated by listening to Kerr's elemental language, Roger didn't notice that Sakurahime, who had been closing her eyes tightly, suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the water elemental ball floating quietly beside Roger, her eyes were full of shock: the breath of the mother goddess!

“…… Show up! Sea Elementals! With Kerr's last drink, the sea around the "Royal Knight" suddenly boiled, and tall sea-blue water elements suddenly appeared.

It's the sea elemental! (To be continued.) )
