Twenty-five - Wavelet enemy attack
It's been about ten days since Ji Yuehua took the main ship of Kamiha's fleet.
That morning was just an ordinary day. The wind and the sun are beautiful, the sky is clear, the sun is shining, and so on, it's basically nonsense, but in short, it's sunny.
Then, the changes occur only in an instant.
When Ji Yuehua stepped onto the deck with cleaning tools in hand and was about to start cleaning as usual, the first thing that caught his attention was a small black dot on the horizon in the distance.
Originally, as a matter of common sense, it was just a common thing to see a small black dot on the deck while sailing at sea.
Islands, rocks, boats, sea creatures, etc., may be what Ji Yuehua saw.
It's just that, as a veteran fan of the military department, Ji Yuehua knows a little more things than ordinary people in the open sea, there are no marine creatures, and it should even be said that as far as the military department knows, there are no "calamity beasts" and creatures outside the Thirteenth Fleet in the open sea.
The reason for this is unknown. Is it a problem with water quality? Or is there some other reason that the so-called whales, sharks, and even other fish and other marine life can only survive in the inland sea at best?
Compared to this, the problem that makes Ji Yuehua feel more headache is that the black dot in the distance seems to be moving? Now it seems that the ship is approaching little by little?
"Ringing, ringing, ringing!"
Sure enough, just when Ji Yuehua wanted to be bad. The alarm bell that sounded from the ship's control room had been transmitted to every corner of the ship, and Ji Yuehua, who was standing on the deck, could hear it clearly.
The cruising fleet and the cruising fleet, even if they are in the same group, will maintain a certain distance from each other under normal conditions. If nothing unusual happened until the end of the tour, it would not be surprising that they had only met twice in four years.
Since it appears in the open sea, it is a moving creature, and it is not an ally, so there is only one remaining possibility.
Calamity feeds on people, all kinds of creatures, and even mythical crystals, and is born with extremely powerful** and amazing reproduction rates. At the same time, it is also the natural enemy of human beings since ancient times.
"Alas, I wonder how it seems to be so peaceful lately, and I still met it after all."
Except for Ji Yuehua, who was already standing here, after the alarm sounded, the first to come to the deck were Ling Chujing, who was the commander, and her secretary Long Tian, who had short purple hair.
Speaking of Ling Chujing's secretary Long Tian, although Ji Yuehua knew her, she was not familiar with her. Ten days have passed, and the only thing Ji Yuehua knows about the secretary of the Seventh Fleet is that in addition to the fact that this girl likes Ling Chujing very much, the smile that occasionally shows her inadvertently when she looks at him makes people shudder, and at a glance, she knows that she is a girl with a black belly and the potential to transform into a sick girl.
Ji Yuehua really doubted that this girl named Longtian would sneak into his room one night, tie him with a rope, and then throw him into the sea? But because this is just his own delusion of being killed after all, it is not the point for the time being
What made Ji Yuehua more concerned was that although Ling Chujing was still wearing the same old gray military uniform and admiral coat today, there was a slender blue-white blade with a sheath hanging from her waist.
Even just exposure to the air can bring a chill to the world around you. Coupled with the light blue hue and the snowflake pattern on the hilt, there is no doubt that the weapon on Ling Chujing's body is the same as the "white snow" she gave to Ji Yuehua at the beginning.
Sending a weapon identical to the sword to Ji Yuehua Whether there was any special meaning behind Ling Chujing's move, Ji Yuehua would not know for a moment.
At this moment, it occurred to him that the members of the Seventh Fleet had already misunderstood the relationship between him and Ling Chujing. If you let others know that he actually has a "Lovers' Sword" that is exactly the same as Ling Chujing's sword, I don't know how deep this misunderstanding will be?
When Ji Yuehua was distressed, immediately after Ling Chujing and Long Tian, as the alarm bell continued to sound, the rest of the members of the Seventh Fleet, including Kaga and Akagi, also boarded the deck one after another, and silently stood behind Ling Chujing.
It should be said that he really deserves to be a professional soldier.
Although there was no warning for the enemy to attack and the alarm sounded, it actually took less than two minutes from the time the alarm bell sounded to the time all the personnel were assembled.
Then, it is worth mentioning that although both Ruoxiwan at the beginning and Ling Chujing are wearing orthodox military uniforms, in fact, anyone who has a certain understanding of the military department knows that the military department itself does not require subordinates to wear uniform uniforms.
No matter how you want to wear it, as long as it is a special dress made by the Technology Development Bureau using Divine Metaphor Technology, it will be accepted and recognized. As a result, the costumes of different members of the military have always varied greatly. It's like Akagi and Kaga, they are wearing the undergarment-style sleeves and short skirt-type horse hakama in the kimono, and it's like the orange-haired girl Ai Weier holding a red sword blade next to them, she is wearing a blue and white military uniform on her upper body, and her lower body is directly changed to a short skirt.
In fact, even Long Tian, who is a secretary, wears a military uniform and a short skirt. The only people who were required by the military department to wear regular military uniforms during their work were the thirteen admirals themselves. Because there are many people in the Seventh Fleet who use private clothes as formal clothes, thanks to this, even if Ji Yuehua is wearing ordinary civilian clothes, she has to wear a robe on top, which is not very conspicuous among everyone.
At this time, the face of the dark shadow in the distance was gradually visible.
It is not quite correct to say that it is a dark shadow. To be precise, the black shadow was a herd of countless alien creatures.
At the front of the herd, there are nearly half a hundred, like giant ants, but two of the six limbs are sickle-shaped, with a row of sharp teeth between the upper and lower jaws, and the antbeast is close to the height of an ordinary adult, acting as the vanguard of the team.
Like all calamities, the antbeast touches the water on all fours, but it does not sink, even on the water! These ant beasts also rushed towards the ship where Ji Yuehua and the others were located, and in the blink of an eye, they narrowed a large distance, and by the time the members of the ship were assembled, these ant beast vanguard troops were not far from the ship.
In the rear of the ant-beast, although the ant-beast was running too fast, the follow-up troops were gradually thrown away. However, in the middle of the vanguard of the "Calamity" and the follow-up troops, dozens of jumping insects did not slow down, and happened to keep up with the antbeast's movements, but they were slightly behind the antbeasts, and just became the middle team of the troops.
These jumping insects are nearly half the height of a normal adult. In addition to the legs, there are two pairs of sickle-like limbs, one at the position of the arms of an ordinary person, and the other on the top of the head. It has wings on its back, but it seems to have degraded to the point where it can't fly with its wings, and instead the legs can jump with incredible power! Bizarre scales covered the top of the head, with a tail extending out behind him. Compared to antbeasts, these creatures called jumping insects are more alienated, and no one can even say what their prototype is.
The antbeast is the vanguard, and the jumping insect is in the middle. As for the follow-up troops of the herd, they were much smaller than the first two in terms of numbers, and no more than eleven Calamity beasts were numbered anyway. However, a small number does not mean that the threat is low.
Antbeasts and jumping insects can only be classified as E-Rank and D-Rank calamities at best, in other words, creeps and cannon fodder.
Behind the jumping insects, two rows of eight-legged armored spiders are lined up on the left and right. These armored spiders have four pairs of eyes, arranged in four rows, and covered with a special metal that shines brightly on their heads, chests and abdomen, and although they don't have obvious fangs and scythes like the first two calamities, they are extremely agile in their movements, and their defense is even more amazing! Since the key points are covered by special armor, it is quite difficult to hit the key points head-on with the armor, and on the other hand, the armored spider can spit out spider silk with venom or directly spew venom, which is more than a step better than antbeasts and jumping insects that can only attack with a sharp tooth sickle, so it can rank high in the B-Rank.
It's just that the armored spider is certainly powerful, but if you want to compare it to the alien creature standing at the back of the herd, the armored spider can only be regarded as a foil for the high-level creep after all.
It was a calamity beast that looked like a tiger but not a tiger. Huge as two or three adults tall, with a tiger-like body, it has a pair of bright red wings on its back, bulging enigmatic metal on its four legs, a crimson mouth, two barbed fangs that stand out, and other than that, its body is covered in strange scales. Worthy of the name, both offensive and defensive, just as hard to mess with as its appearance, this tiger-like calamity beast named "Red Wing Fang" is a high ranking under the A-Rank in the records of the military department.
The military department has always regarded S-Rank as the highest level, in other words, this red-winged fangs are the second-strongest level!
At this moment, the Seventh Fleet where Ji Yuehua was located encountered, to put it bluntly, was actually just a small wave of calamity beasts. However, with high-level calamity beasts such as "Red Wing Fang" and "Armored Spider" mixed in, this small team of calamity beasts is really a bit ridiculously strong.
It must be known that even after the enhancement of the "Divine Stigma" and the new weapons under the Divine Metaphor technology, an ordinary member of the Thirteenth Fleet of the Military Department can generally only deal with two to three low-rank Calamity Beasts at the same time, and as for high-level Calamity Beasts such as "Red Wing Fangs", they are often even more existences that require the combined efforts of three to four people to kill.
Excluding Ji Yuehua and Feng Xiang, who were in charge of miscellaneous affairs, the total number of the Seventh Fleet was about forty-seven.
At this moment, he encountered nearly a hundred enemies composed of high-level and low-level calamity beasts in one breath, and for the Seventh Fleet, he didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky.
The unfortunate one, who had just left the safe area and encountered such a tricky enemy, could be considered unlucky to some extent.
However, fortunately, the origin of the Mythical Crystal is not so easy to find anyway, and if you don't kill more enemies, where will your resource points come from? Because of this, the eyes of the members of the Seventh Fleet at the calamity beasts in front of them were somewhat like the eyes of hunters looking at their prey
P.S.1: Regarding the types and introductions of illamber beasts, I will have a summary when I have time to do so, which is also a record of illamber beasts that have appeared.
