Chapter 35: Rage

"The muzzle of the gun continues to be lowered by two degrees!" Camille looked at the white lines that flew from two hundred yards away, and said with a solemn face.

"Do you want to lower it?" Hong Jian looked at the bow cannon and was stunned for a while.

Placed at the bow of the Vasa was a 36-pounder curved cannon with a stubby barrel that could fire both at short ranges and from long distances. With enough projectile angles, it is possible to use a curved gun loaded with shotgun and chain shells to baptize the enemy deck like a storm.

However, due to the improvement of modern artillery tactics, most warships began to use broadside guns against enemy ships. Under this tactic, the long-barreled cannon replaced the position of the original curved cannon and became the main artillery in the artillery battle.

However, bow and stern guns are not the same, they are used as long-range pins and pursuits for enemy forces. The bow and stern guns of large warships such as the Vasa would not normally use long-barreled cannons.

The reason why Hong Jian and Mary are full of confidence in themselves is because Mary does have an irreplaceable role in the calculation of this projectile trajectory. Moreover, during the flight of the cannonball, Hong Jian's force field talent can also affect the flight attitude of the cannonball in the air. Therefore, the combination of the two of them will be full of confidence in themselves, and they don't think that Camille will beat him in this regard.

However, now looking at the downward muzzle of the cannon almost reaching a 45-degree angle, Hong Jian immediately found that Camille's thinking was completely different from theirs. The young navigator had no intention of giving the king squid a ride from a distance. The muzzle of the curved gun was pointed 30 yards in front of the bow of the ship, and at this distance, the tentacles of the King Squid could almost touch the bow of the Vasa.

"Are you sure you're going to shell the king squid at this distance?" Hong Jian glanced at Camille deeply, "If you can't kill with one hit, I'm afraid you'll be the first to be torn to pieces by the angry sea beast!" ”

"Haha, this way of dying is very suitable for seafarers who beg for a living on the sea!" Camille laughed brightly and patted Hong Jian on the shoulder, "Remember to leave the bow of the ship later, only one person is needed to fire the cannon!" ”

“…… Don't need my help? Hong Jian's eyes flashed and he asked with a smile.

"Help? Haha, do you want to give this big ugly dick an extra dish? Camille snapped twice, patted his cheeks fiercely, and slowly condensed a focused look in his nonchalant eyes, "Your name is Hong Jian...... If I die, remember to pour a bottle of rum into the sea later! That's the biggest help for me......"

"Admiral, why hasn't the cannon been fired yet, it's about to come up to the bow of the ship!" Wood on the watchtower wiped his sweat.

The lookout, who had just been promoted to the second order, only felt his heart beating violently, and the adrenal hormones in his body almost made him feel hot. In the past, only the life-and-death struggle between reincarnators could make him feel this way.

Xu Mo stared at the behemoth lurking beneath the sea, compared to Wood, the young admiral who had participated in many naval battles, could understand why Camille still didn't open fire.

There are many sea creatures such as squid in the earth world, and they are basically a delicacy on the table. The reincarnation of Y-space is unaware of this creature, the squid is an invertebrate mollusc whose lethality lies between the eyes of the head, where their neurons are assembled, the equivalent of the human brain.

However, although the squid has no bones, it does have a pure white plate. The larger the squid, the thicker the cuticle plate becomes, and the harder it is compared to steel. The vital organs of the squid are all under the protection of this cuticular plate.

Once the cannonball enters the water, its power is greatly reduced, and if you want to kill the king squid with a single blow, you can only wait for its head to emerge from the water. Then shoot it directly at close range, piercing its cuticular plates and smashing its neurons.

As everyone on the Vasa held their breath, the king squid finally approached the 30-yard area of the bow.

"Bang, bang~~~" The white line under the sea surface came to an abrupt end, and with the column of water rising into the sky, the king squid waved ten tentacles, and finally revealed its huge body on the sea.

Without the shelter of the sea, the sea beast on the bow of the ship looks even larger. The head of the king squid is half-exposed on the surface of the sea, and the whole is grayish-white, with faint red spots, and the surface of the body is smooth as satin. The eyeballs on both sides of the body were almost the size of the wheels of a truck, and the black pupils under the folds of flesh emitted a deep cold light.

The king squid stretched out its tentacles as thick as stone pillars and poked towards the Vasa, the suction cups on the tentacles were as big as basins, and there was a dense circle of serrations around them, which made every Viking sailor he saw it feel a chill in his heart.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, Camille finally opened fire, and a puff of white smoke rose from the bow of the Vasa.

"Woo~~~" The sea beast let out a mournful cry similar to a baby's cry, and Xu Mo and Wood, who were on the watchtower, only to see the body of the king squid fall backwards, causing a large splash.

"Hit, hit!" Wood exclaimed excitedly, and unlike the others on the deck who were obscured by the smoke of gunpowder, he and Xu Mo were condescending, and could clearly see that the cannonball had hit the sea beast in the head.

However, Xu Mo, who also saw this scene, was pale. Camille's performance was impeccable, the cannonball hit the eyes of the king squid with great accuracy, and in the midst of the flesh and blood, Xu Mo had even seen the white plate in the sea beast's body.

But...... The white cuticle had only cracked a huge gap, and had not been pierced by the shell. The 36-pound solid iron ball was accelerated by gunpowder, but it still failed to break through the last line of defense of the king squid......

However, the cannonball that was bounced off by the plate blew one of the sea beast's eyeballs out. The right eye of the king squid turned into a rotten pit, dripping with a white slimy liquid.

"Hit it!" Camille took a few steps forward in a spirited mood, wanting to climb onto the bow of the mermaid and see his results through the smoke of gunpowder.

However, at this moment, a thick tentacle swept out of the white smoke like a whip and rolled towards Camille.

"Is it going to end?" Camille's pupils dilated instantly, and Lilu's sweet smile slid through her mind like lightning.

"NO~~~" An angry cry sounded in the young man's ears, and a figure rushed quickly, spreading his arms wide and knocking Camille to the ground. The tentacles only brought up a cloud of blood light behind the figure, which could slide over the bodies of the two people. The two who escaped the catastrophe suddenly rolled into a ball on the deck.

"It's you!" Camille froze and looked at Hong Jian, who was grinning with his teeth.

"Hey, if you want to drink rum, you have to get it yourself, I don't have a habit of pouring wine for others!" Hong Jian smiled in a cold sweat, "Besides, how can there be a reason for a loader to leave the artillery during shelling!" ”

"Haha, I owe you my life!" Camille was stunned for a moment, and laughed heartily.

"Hey, aren't you too happy too early, if you don't help me down, someone else is going to pour rum into the sea for the two of us!" Hong Jian smiled bitterly and pointed to the tentacles of the sea beasts that were still raging on the bow of the ship.

"We're going to get out of the bow!" Camille looked back, his face changed, and he quickly helped Hong Jian up.

At this time, the young navigator found that the white sailor shirt on Hong Jian's back had been soaked with blood, and three bloody wounds appeared on his back. The deepest wound in it, the white vertebrae inside, could be faintly seen, this was a gift left by the serrated teeth on the sea beast's tentacles to Hong Jian.

"Ready~~ put!" Max waved his hand with a hideous face, "Bang, bang, bang......" The three rows of musketeer guards poured their bullets into the tentacles of the sea beast like a torrential rain. The other deck sailors also took harpoons and poked the tentacles of the sea beasts desperately.

"Woo~~~" The king squid on the sea let out an angry whining sound. Two thick tentacles firmly grasped the bow of the Vasa, leaning its huge body against the hull of the Vasa, and the other tentacles waved and swept across the deck.

"Ahh A Viking sailor was accidentally swept up by a tentacle sweeping from behind.

"Save ......" Before the sailor could utter a complete cry for help, his companion next to him watched in horror as the suction cups on the sea beast's tentacles swallowed him whole like a vacuum cleaner, leaving only the sailor's broken flesh foam and strips of undershirt cloth on the serrations around the suction cups.

The Viking sailors, who saw this scene, immediately retreated on the deck in fear, avoiding the flying tentacles.

"Squeak!" Without the harassment of the sailors, a tentacle wrapped around the forward mast of the Vaasa. The sea beast's strange power entwined, and the thick mast made a piercing cracking sound. The 2,000-ton Vasa was pulled into the sea by sea beasts and sank slightly.

Tie Lilie's judgment was very correct, and the sea beast was temporarily attached to the bow of the ship, which was already the result. If you let this king squid cling to the side side, then the Vasa will definitely be pulled by it to capsize and wreck.

"Admiral, let's get out of the watchtower, the mast will soon be overwhelmed!" Wood's face changed drastically, not to mention that the reincarnation of the space-time battlefield had weakened the offensive and defensive ability of the plot creatures, even if he was in his heyday, I am afraid it would not be enough for this king squid to stuff his teeth.

"Wood, hold the hat for me!" Xu Mo took a deep breath and calmly took off the triangular admiral hat and handed it to the lookout.

"Your Excellency, what do you want to do?" Wood looked at the young man in front of him a little confused.

"Wood, you're doing a great job, go down now!" Xu Mo grinned at him, revealing a row of white and shiny teeth.

Turning around again, Xu Mo, who had his back to Wood, the whites of his eyes were already covered with blood. The young man stepped on the guardrail of the lookout post with one foot, holding a sharp sailor's axe in each hand.

"What is Admiral Alfred doing?" A sharp-eyed sailor on the deck stared stunned at the fierce young man with his shirt scattered on the mast.

Under the watchful eyes of many of the sailors on deck, the young admiral slammed the guardrail, spread his arms wide, and jumped from the mast like a great bird, and pounced on the ferocious sea beast clinging to the bow of the ship.

The only remaining left eyeball of the king squid quickly observed the little ant in the air, and a tentacle was drawn towards Xu Mo like lightning.

"Aim, put!" From the deck rang out with Max's roar, "Bang, bang, bang!" The musket team, which had reloaded its bullets, accurately focused all its firepower on the tentacle that was pumping towards Xu Mo.

"Woo~~~" The tentacles of the king squid twitched, and the speed of recovery dropped sharply, but it was still aimed at Xu Mo and rolled down.

Xu Mo turned over with a harrier in the air, and the sailor axe in his right hand stopped in front of his chest, slashing fiercely at the tentacles rolling behind him. However, Xu Mo soon felt that the sailor's axe slipped, and the force was actually removed by the tentacles of the sea beast, only adding an insignificant scar to this tentacle.

Xu Mo's eyes swelled, and the sailor axe in his left hand was horizontal again, intertwined with the axe in his right hand into a pair of pincers, and finally set up the tentacle. The huge power attached to the tentacle caused the young man to fly like a meteorite towards the head of the king squid.

Looking at the gap between the eyes of the king squid that was cracked by a cannonball, Xu Mo showed a hideous smile on his face.

"Bang!" Xu Mo's body hit the sea beast like a cannonball, and the young man raised the sharp sailor axe in his hand and slashed at the head of the king squid.

"This is Lao Tzu's boat!" There was a violent roar from the sea.
