Tens of thousands of blue-black monsters flocked to the crusading army's naval fleet with the waves that came back, and those monsters moved extremely fast in the water, and when the blue-black waves got closer and closer, the people on the boat could clearly see that they were some humanoid creatures, swimming at high speed on the sea surface in a breaststroke style, and their posture and body shape were also very human-like. But one thing is for sure, they are definitely not humans, because humans can't swim that fast.

"Peel, peel the frog monster...... Karaken!" suddenly let out a shuddering cry from someone in the fleet, he was a senior alchemist from the Snowy Federation.

At this time, these blue-black monsters were already close to the distance of less than a hundred meters from the fleet.

"Attack! Kill them all!" Without waiting for the instructions of the fleet commander, the commanders of the warships did not wait to give their own battle orders. There was no need to identify them at all, just by looking at the location where they appeared and the suffocating murderous aura when they rushed over, those blue-black monsters must be extremely formidable enemies.

However, it was too late to give the order to attack, and the blue-black monster was advancing faster than everyone expected, and the heavy crossbow on the battleship had just been loaded, and before it could shoot the heavy arrow, the blue-black monster had already approached the edge of the battleship and entered the dead end of the heavy crossbow. The sailors and soldiers on the battleship hurriedly fired with crossbow bolts equipped with individual weapons.

A canopy of arrows shot at those blue-black monsters, but to the surprise of the attackers, most of the sharp arrows hit those monsters, and did not penetrate into the flesh, but slid over the surface of the skin; although a very small number of sharp arrows could successfully shoot into the monster's body, but did not seem to have any effect on the monsters who were hit by the arrows, they rushed out of the crimson blood, with the arrows on their bodies, together with other companions who were not hit by the arrows, used their limbs together, "sticking" to the shell of the battleship and crawling up.

That's right, it is "glued" to the battleship, without the use of any auxiliary tools, as if overcoming gravity, even if it is an anticline hull, it can be very firmly attached.

When the first blue-black monster climbed onto the deck, the fleet officers and soldiers finally saw the "true face of Lushan" of these monsters.

"Skinned frog monsters" - is the most intuitive adjective for these monsters. I saw that their bodies were like skinned human bodies, and their muscles were exposed one by one, but the difference was that the skinned human bodies were bright red, while these monsters seemed to have been exposed to the air for too long, and the muscles of their bodies were blue-black. Compared to normal humans, these monsters have unusually proportioned limbs and torsos, extremely long hands and feet, and the fingers and toes at the ends are webbed like frogs, allowing them to swim quickly in the water, and when they leave the water, the webs shrink into sucker-like shapes, which is why they can be firmly attached to the hull of the battleship.

Their skulls looked the same size as humans, but they were hideous, except that they looked like they had been stripped of their skin, and their mouths were exaggeratedly large, as if they had been cut from the corners of their mouths to the base of their ears with a knife. The eyes are protruding, with turquoise vertical pupils in the middle of the red whites, reminiscent of the eyes of frogs. Along the way, they were very quiet and did not make any sound as they swam in the sea, but when they landed on the deck of the battleship, the throat area kept bulging and retracting, and they made a regular "coo-coo" sound. This strange frog cry sounded everywhere on the large part of the sea where the fleet stayed, and it was clear that a considerable number of monsters had already landed on the deck.

In fact, "Skinned Frog Monster" is just another name for this strange creature, and their real scientific name, which the alchemist from the Snowy Federation had already said, is called "Karaken".

In fact, they are not naturally evolved magical beasts, but artificial creatures created in the laboratory by the alchemists of the Snowy Federation, based on the egg cells of human sperm and frog demonic beasts.

The Snowy Federation has long been hostile and threatened by the Pan-Holy Light Society, and the Central Church has also united with some secular powers to form a crusade alliance to attack the Snowy Federation several times in history, in an attempt to destroy this atheistic country that they don't like. Although the magical legions of the Snowy Federation have repeatedly repelled the Crusaders, the mages and alchemists who have participated in each war have suffered heavy losses. The Snowy Federation is originally a vast and sparsely populated country, and the cycle and resource investment for cultivating magicians and alchemists are far longer than those knights in the south, and the war puppets used as cannon fodder have many defects. Therefore, about 600 years ago, the Snowy Federation launched a plan to create Karaken, with the aim of using it as cannon fodder to replace war dolls on the battlefield, avoiding or reducing the casualties of valuable mages and alchemists.

Although Karaken's lifespan is not long, and the researchers have deliberately removed their ability to reproduce themselves, their cultivation cycle is extremely short, and they are very fierce and ferocious in combat. In actual tests, Karaken is often exhausted after a battle, and a large number can be produced in the laboratory the next day, and the combat effectiveness is also very outstanding. As long as the cultivation plant is not destroyed and there are enough raw materials, the Snowy Federation will continue to produce Karaken, and if they are given enough time, it will not be difficult for them to use the Karaken Legion to flood the Pan-Holy Light Cult in the south, and even rule the entire three continents of Olopa.

However, such a thing did not happen after all, because the researchers of the Federation soon discovered that Karaken had an insurmountable flaw: not following orders!

This was a problem that was discovered after the first finished products were cultivated in the Karaken project, and at first the researchers were able to control these Karaken with drugs, but as time went on and the Karaken generations evolved, the Karaken became more and more immune to the drugs, and the drugs controlled the Karaken for a shorter and shorter time, and the researchers tried to find other alternatives, but none of them succeeded.

In the end, this crazy experiment produced irreparable disasters. The last batch of Karaken products that were manufactured began to slaughter their makers as soon as they left the petri dish, and the control drugs injected into their bodies did not take effect at all, and more than 400 alchemists, magicians, and other support personnel in the laboratory and cultivation factory were all killed.

Out of control, Karaken also swept through the city where the labs and cultivation factories were located, turning the city into a hellish slaughterhouse. Although the Confederation later mobilized heavy troops to successfully suppress it, it also paid a heavy price for a city and more than 60% of the city's population.

After the tragedy, the core of power at that time made an emergency resolution, unanimously believing that the Karaken project was extremely dangerous, the benefits were not large, and the hostile relations between the Snowy Federation and the Central Church at that time were showing signs of easing, so the Karaken project, which had invested a lot of manpower and material resources and lasted for more than 40 years, was permanently frozen, killing all surviving Karaken products, dismantling all experimental and production equipment, and permanently sealing all research materials about Karaken.

Since then, the Karaken project has not been talked about. Although it was at the height of the previous Mephistopheles disaster, there was a proposal to restart the Karaken project, which had been mothballed for more than 500 years, but it was rejected without hesitation by the power core meeting, and there was no room to discuss feasibility.

And now, it is indeed surprising that Karaken, which has been permanently sealed by the Snowy Realm, will become the fighting power of the Truth Society. However, considering the precipitation of the Truth Society for more than 4,000 years, they have secretly infiltrated the high-level of the Olopa countries, and it is normal to say that the Snowy Federation has also been infiltrated by the Truth Society. If this is the case, and the secret agents hidden in the Snowy Federation steal the research materials about Karaken and bring them back to the Central Curia to continue their research and cultivate their Karaken monsters, then this situation makes perfect sense now.
