Roddy left this sentence and started to "run" and rushed to the captain's room, Melinthra followed closely behind, Sylvia was stunned for a moment, as a mage she knew that she was also a combatant, glanced back at Akasha and Nephi, nodded, and chased after her as well.

"What's the situation?"
"Enemy attack alarm, from under the sea."
Houdini, who was in the captain's room, looked at the circle in front of him with a serious face, this circle was a "radar" in Roddy's eyes, but he didn't judge the symbols and colors displayed on it. Houdini knew that it was necessary to explain at this time, so he said: "The circle has detected that an unknown object is approaching, the number is one, and the body is more than ten meters long..."
"How far is it?"
"Less than five hundred meters, it's approaching fast!"
Houdini realized that something was wrong, there were many creatures under the sea, but he didn't hear of anything rushing out of the deep sea and heading straight for the ships on the surface - he immediately activated the hull defenses, and activated all the floating towers at the same time!
For a while, the hum of the circle resounded throughout the hull, and Roddy knew that he couldn't help in the captain's room, so he ran directly to the room not far away, took the weapon, carried a pot of arrows, and pulled him to the deck with Melinse.
As soon as the two of them saw the sunlight outside, they felt the hull shield shake suddenly, and the surrounding sea suddenly splashed with a large white splash.
"The shield isn't broken, the thing is over there!"
Merinthera judged the position of the opponent from the elemental shock of the shield, and ran to the port side with her wand in hand, only to see that the floating towers that were floating around suddenly turned in unison, and the multiple ballistas on the tower's body aimed at the black shadow that had just appeared on the surface of the sea was a salvo!
Half of the fist-thick metal bolts missed, but the other half hit the target. The arrows were extremely powerful and had an explosive effect, creating a large blast of detonation on the spot - but Roddy heard a sound similar to the collision of metal during the attack. With his excellent eyesight, he saw in the chaotic splash of blood staining a large area of the sea, and the huge creature with a length of ten meters did not retreat, but turned its head and slammed into the shield of the hull, and was bounced away again with a "bang".
"Whoosh-"
The second round of salvo hit rate was much higher, and the monster with the black shadow exposed on the sea was suddenly exploded, and the speed of travel suddenly slowed down. But even so, it was still like a demon, constantly turning its body to stir up the waves, and hitting the shield again and again - but after the third and fourth volleys, the monster, which was almost pierced into a hedgehog, finally stopped attacking the flagship, but turned over on the spot and died...
Apparently not the first time the Poratini had encountered a similar situation, as the floating tower approached the monster's corpse after the battle, unhooked and dragged it several nautical miles before slowing down. The mages came to the deck to cast a spell, dragged the monster out of the sea, and after pulling out the crossbow arrows more than four meters long, the body was placed on the deck of the flagship.
Roddy, Mylensella, and Sylvia, who was standing behind, didn't make a move. As an individual, it was indeed very powerless in the face of such a huge creature - Roddy imagined that if he passed by here in a small transport ship No. 3, he probably would be sunk by this strange fish without any resistance.
Only a flagship with a large displacement and full armament, such as the "Poratini", can easily kill this water monster. This battle looked easy, but it really showed the strength of the current sea battle of the Rasiman Kingdom. It is said that the "century-old navy", if you want to build a fleet, you really have to spend a lot of money...
But looking at the bloody monster, Roddy had a strange expression, because he smelled a familiar smell in the air...
The huge fish was thrown on the deck with a crossbow bolt all over its body. After immobilizing, the sailors began to cut open the surface of the corpse with their knives, and it took three or four people to pull out the huge crossbow bolts that had exploded and left in each other's bodies. And when Houdini arrived with the ship's battle mage, his face was no longer solemn.
After all, this was the first time that the "Boratini" had been shown in front of Roddy, and Raciman's seafaring skills were clearly in place, and Roddy also praised it - but he was more interested in the big fish at the moment: "What is this?" Does it often attack ships? ”
Houdini was also full of question marks, and no one in the fleet was so short-sighted when it came from Rasiman to Karen. The creatures on the bottom of the sea would not attack a ship so much larger than him for no reason, so he took a closer look for a long time, touched the east and west, and even used a spell to measure it, and then hesitated a little: "It stands to reason... It's an ale shark. ”
When Nephie and Sylvia saw that the alarm was lifted, they also gathered around and watched curiously. Neither of them had ever been to the sea, and they both sighed when they saw the ten-meter-long El shark, and now when they heard Houdini's explanation, Nefi excitedly said, "Is this a big shark?" Brother Roddy said that sharks are very vicious, no wonder they even hit boats! ”
"Uh... In fact, the El Shark has a very gentle personality, and it should not be such an aggressive behavior. Houdini expressed his doubts to Roddy: "It stands to reason that it operates in the deep sea, and it rarely comes near the surface of the water on weekdays, and I know this thing because I wrote a paper on the positioning of the deep sea in prophecy more than ten years ago, and the El shark was a very typical deep-sea shark, and Rasiman has a department in charge of fish research that has a lot of information about it, and even specimens." ”
Roddy's knowledge of marine fish is limited to all kinds of popular science books, and the marine life of this world is basically blank. Because he had been operating inland, no one had set his sights on the ocean, so he had to rely on Houdini's judgment.
But looking at this shark with covered bones on the outside of its body, he always felt familiar. After approaching and reaching out and knocking, Roddy asked, "So this creature generally doesn't take the initiative to attack others?" So what does it do with all these bone armors? ”
"I'm also curious about the question, to be honest... The El shark I've studied before doesn't have this kind of bone armor, and it has a lot of strange things on it, which are not quite what I remember. Houdini went over and used the "mage's hand" to break open the shark's mouth, and pointed to the blade-like teeth on it: "Its teeth are only the length of my fingers, because it only eats all kinds of small fish and shrimp on weekdays, and it is not the kind of large predator, but this one... The shorter ones are longer than my forearms. (To be continued.) )
