Chapter 51: Shark Tooth and Fierce Waves

While Hela and Glenn are feeling a little encouraged by the news of the Damned Lady, their hopeful helpers are still slow to go. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that for Peg and them, it is of course a matter of course to help their companions, but how to help is a big problem. Although Fioni offered to help several people find the location of the fortress, this was only a small detail in a big problem. The main problem that plagued the people aboard the Cursed Lady remained unresolved, and that was how they would get to the fortress and how they would fight and win the battle with the besieging Kraken when they arrived.

"We rushed over to bury them. Kiri and I couldn't fight off that many enemies. And you two can't go to the sea to fight, the truth is that we have no chance of winning. As the person in contact with Hela, Peg certainly understands how dire the situation the latter faces. But the more she learned, the less easily she could rush into the Kraken's encirclement with her companions. So when Fioni said he could lead the way, Peg was the first to stand up and stop the men from leaving immediately.

Lothar and the Networm looked at each other, they were not the main force of this rescue operation in the first place, and they originally expected the two witches to defeat the Kraken with magic, but since Peg had admitted that they did not have this ability, the two warriors also knew that their role in naval warfare was probably minimal. "Maybe we can get someone to help, don't you have an alliance with that Burning Tao tribe? Lothar thought of the other Siren clan that Fioni had mentioned earlier, and spoke.

"Remember when we tried to call the Kraken before we entered the Misty Seas? That was the code between the Witches and the Burning Waves. And if they didn't respond to us then, I'm afraid they won't be able to respond now. Peg shook her head, but she quickly remembered that there was another Siren present, and perhaps Fioni would know why the Siren of the Burning Waves hadn't fulfilled their covenant, so he turned to look at the latter, waiting for an answer.

Sure enough, Fioni tilted his head after hearing the witch's words, "I don't think it's because Lietao doesn't agree. As far as I know, they've been in a state of self-care lately, otherwise the shark teeth wouldn't have attacked human territory with such fanfare. After the Kraken finished speaking, seeing the unsubsided doubt in Lothar's eyes, the gill organs on his shoulders trembled slightly, "Well, I'm afraid that the travelers may not know what I'm going to say next, but it's not something that must be kept secret, it's just that humans have always been less curious about what is below the surface of the sea, since it's about your actions, I'll briefly explain it." ”

In Fioni's account, Blaze and Sharktooth are two tribes of Sirens who have long lived near Heartless Bay, and according to ancient ballads, they once descended from the same ancestor. But the difference in faith determines that the two will eventually go their separate ways. The Sharktooth Tribe believes in the father of the sharks, the most powerful hunters in the sea, and the ruthless predators, who believe that only by fighting with strength and agility like sharks can they win their survival in the sea. And as if to reward their faith, sharks have become the symbol of the Sharktooth tribe since then, and these fearsome sea hunters cruise around the sharktooth kraken like guards, but their relationship is different from that of hunters and hounds, but like equal partners. The people of the Sharktooth tribe also believe that as long as they keep hunting, when their lives are detached from their shells, their shark companions will take their souls to their destination, bringing them to the father of the sharks.

Contrary to the shark tooth, which considers itself a hunter, the Lady of the Waves, the Rising Waves tribe worships the waves and follows the natural path of survival, ebbing and falling with the weather. This reminded Lothar of the elves who lived in the forest, who had a similar attitude towards nature. However, this does not mean that the Lietao Clan is weak, just like a tsunami that can flood a city, the Lietao Clan has a force that does not belong to the shark teeth. And because they are more adept at raising schools of fish and moving in groups, the Burning Waves tribe has always been between two or three times the size of the shark's teeth. That's why the witches come to the Burning Waves when they sign a contract, and these krakens are seen by humans as more than their fellow civilizations with sharks.

And because of their faith, the biggest difference between Lietao and Sharktooth is not their way of life. For shark teeth, the individual and his shark can already be regarded as a group, and isolated hunters abound, and even when the tribe is waging war, it is necessary to call the hunters together to form an army through messengers. But the Lietao is completely different, the priests of the Wave Lady are the leaders of the Clan, and they will decide all the affairs of the Clan through the surging tide, which makes the Stormy more united, but also deprives many people of a voice. The gleam in Fioni's eyes darkened as he said this, and it was linked to his background in the Lietao, and perhaps it was this tribal structure that made the Kraken choose to break away from the clan.

"So you mean the Burning Tao Clan doesn't respond to our call because they're in danger themselves and their priests can't be manpowered?" Peg frowned, as far as she knew, it had never happened since the witch and the kraken had made a pact. But at the moment, she could only make such a guess, especially when she said this, she subconsciously remembered the three big eggs that collided with the hull of the ship in the tsunami before, maybe the inaction of the Lietao tribe had something to do with that thing.

"Reasonable inference. But I must point out that the waves have no external enemies in these seas, and the only possible threat to them is human ships and fleets. But you know, the bottom of the sea and the surface of the sea have not clashed for a long time, and they themselves should not be threatened. So I think, I'm afraid that's not the case. Personally, I believe that the Lietao Clan is preparing for some major religious ceremonies, so they are unable to fulfill their covenant. Fioni nodded, speculating.

"And one more question," Kiri suddenly interjected, staring at the Kraken with a dangerous spell of magic in her eyes, "You're suggesting that our Burning Waves have betrayed the Covenant, but what's in it good for you? You're also a Kraken, aren't you?

Fioni wasn't scared, at least he didn't, the Kraken put his hands behind his back and looked down at the witch, "Your suspicions are legitimate. But that's on the basis that I'm a human being. Perhaps it is an unforgivable evil for you to help a foreign creature harm your own people. But for us, every soul in the sea is the same, whether it is a kraken or a human, and ultimately it is a speck of dust on the beach. Therefore, I will not be biased in favor of the waves or deliberately discredit the shark teeth, and what I say is good advice. Of course, I don't deny that I personally have mixed opinions about the Lietao tribe, and as for the reasons, please forgive me for not being able to explain. ”

Kiri snorted coldly and stopped talking, her eyes telling her that the creature in front of her wasn't lying. But if Fioni hadn't lied, the problem that plagued everyone would have persisted. "Anyway, we still haven't been able to save Glenn and the others," Peg said with some frustration.

Just when everyone in the cabin was distressed in the face of reality, a violent tremor struck them. A large amount of sea water poured into the hole in the deck without warning, and the water quickly spread to ankle depth. "What's going on! Isn't the tsunami over!"
