Chapter 58: Sin and Death
"What's wrong?" The officers, who had already relaxed, came to the deck of the Vistellos.
The Hell God was much better than the Vestelos, but it was so badly damaged that Hedlam didn't plan to change the flagship until it was completely restored. At present, the Hell God is temporarily in charge of Manuel, so that the potential dangers of the ship's hull can be repaired in time while sailing.
"Look, Lord Admiral, those whales ......," the sailors pointed to the surface of the sea in astonishment.
Hedram was taken aback when he looked around the two warships, which were surrounded by hundreds of whales, and from time to time a small fan-shaped fountain five or six meters high would erupt on the surface of the sea.
"What's going on with these whales?" Gerhardt looked at these huge sea creatures in disbelief. These whales are large and small, the largest is more than 25 meters long, some are even more than 30 meters long, and the smallest is several meters long, and they surround the two warships in the center from all sides.
"Fire the cannon to scare them away, and if you can't scare them away, shoot them all." Hedram said a little annoyed.
"Wait a minute, Your Excellency Admiral, you can't do that!" Suddenly, a female voice came from behind the officers.
"Hmmm! Pastor Dinah? Hedram looked at Dinah from the crowd in surprise.
"This kind of whale is called the Greenland whale, and it is a rare group of whales among whales, each population is small from dozens to thousands, and this should be a small tribe of Greenland whales. These whales have a habit of protecting their juveniles, and once attacked in a pack, they will launch a powerful attack until the boat is overturned.
Moreover, the mature individual of this whale weighs more than 100 tons, is extremely powerful, and its wide back can break through half a meter of ice, although our two warships have hundreds of tons, but if they are attacked intensively, they will capsize. Dinah said solemnly.
"What?" Hedram looked at Dinah in shock, he was a naval admiral, although he had a lot of seafaring knowledge, but he really didn't study whales, a sea creature, "So what are we going to do?" ”
"Greenland whales are docile and don't usually besiege ships, so let's wait and see!" Dinah said with a frown.
"Dinah, you've studied this kind of whale before?" Xu Mo sent a message a little strangely.
"Hmmm! There was a time in the real world when the Greenland whale was thought to have gone extinct by humans before the 19th century. However, in 1979, an international research ship discovered them in the Chukotka Sea of the Arctic Ocean, which caused a sensation in the world at the time. At the beginning of the new millennium, I followed a research ship to the vicinity of Greenland as a journalist to observe them! Dinah said proudly.
"It doesn't look like a whale, what is it?" Suddenly, Gerhardt asked, pointing to a small figure behind the whale pack.
"That's ......" Gerhardt pointed in the direction, a small figure flashed away, although it was only a glimpse, but Xu Mo and Dinah had already recognized who the little figure was.
"It's the little Siren!" Xu Mo said with a gloomy face, "It seems that these whales were driven by it. ”
Later, everyone saw that every Greenland whale that wanted to swim away from the battleship around it, after swimming a little distance, the small figure would appear behind it, driving the Greenland whale back into the encircled whale group, and sometimes everyone could even hear a faint "Ahhhhhhhhhhh "Scream.
"It wants the whales to crash over the warship and leave us on Jan Mayen Island forever to avenge its parents!" Dinah said gloomily.
"Charlie, can you hit it with a cannon!" When Hedram learned why, he immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. If these whales were left undirected, they would disperse sooner or later, but now with one more Kraken, the situation will only get more and more dangerous.
"Every time it appears, it's next to those whales, and it's not very far, but those whales are sure to be injured by artillery fire, and if the ship is attacked by whales......," Charlie said with embarrassment
"Frieza, are the bodies of those two Krakens still on board?" Xu Mo turned his head to Frieza who had just been promoted to second lieutenant officer and asked.
"Captain, they're still there, do you want to ......" Frieza replied in surprise. Although he had been promoted to officer, he still had some restraints in the face of the other officers on the ship. Normally, he doesn't talk much, just stands quietly and listens.
"Lift to the deck!" A sharp glint flashed in Xu Mo's eyes. He could understand the little kraken's behavior, but he couldn't let it go.
"Charlie, since the cannon is too quiet, carry the captured harpoon gun to the stern bridge of Vestelos, and you will cooperate with Alfred to kill that little Kraken." Hedram's eyes flashed, he already understood what Xu Mo was going to do.
This harpoon cannon was a catch of the Hell God, and it was not actually the equipment of the Hell God, but the trophy obtained by Captain Brett when he was plundering the whaling ship, and belonged to a large 300-ton whaling ship. All that remained of the harpoon was a large rusty harpoon, and the handle was not yet cabled.
Xu Mo ordered a few strong sailors to carry the corpses of the Kraken to the stern bridge of the Vestelos, tie their fish tails with cables, put them into the sea, and drag them at the stern.
"Boss, this is cruel...... Is there no other way? Dinah said unbearably.
"Dinah, I beg your pardon!" Looking at the two corpses of the sea monster soaked in the sea water, Xu Mo said expressionlessly, "If this is a crime, I will bear it!" ”
"Yikes!" The little kraken's voice slowly grew from far to near, and his mournful cry was full of sadness and determination, and soon the little kraken appeared under the water at the stern of the ship.
Looking at the little thing in the stern of the boat, desperately tearing the cable that bound the Kraken with his teeth and claws, Charlie couldn't help but sigh and hesitate for a moment before firing the harpoon.
"Bang!" At such a close distance, it was impossible to miss with Charlie's gunnery, and the little kraken was pierced through the chest by a huge harpoon, and the sea water at the tail of the battleship was flooded with a cloud of green fluorescent blood.
"Yike...... Ahh......h
"Bang!" Xu Mo cut the cable that tied the kraken corpse with an axe, watched the two large and one small kraken corpse slowly sink into the deep sea, and said softly, "Go home!" ”
After the little kraken died, the whales began to disperse slowly, and finally at noon, the sea was calm again.
"Anchor and set sail!" Hedram commanded in a loud voice.
