Chapter 222: Fishman Station
"This is ......"
Handing over the girl in his arms to Aslan, looking at his anxious look, Watson couldn't help but ask. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"She's the second daughter of the Addams family in our Kandas, and the Adams family and the Brown family have a close relationship, so officers like us often see this young lady at balls, and though I don't know why she's on a pirate ship today, nothing happens to her. ”
Adams took a long breath as if he had put down a boulder on his chest, and Watson shrugged his shoulders and returned to the bow of the ship, the battle with the pirates just now had been delayed for a long time, and the watch showed that it was already afternoon, fortunately there was food stored on the warship, otherwise everyone would have to go hungry to expel the Darktide Fishmen.
"Lord Watson...... For Miss Elijah's safety, we may have to wait here for a while, as we will expel the Darktide Fishmen...... If Miss Ilya is there, it may be affected, and it may be okay for you to do so, but we can't afford to be responsible, so I'm sorry. ”
Aslan was very nervous about the girl named Elijah, and wanted to pause and let other ships come and bring her back before continuing to set off, but Watson couldn't refuse this, this ship belonged to someone else, and they didn't have anyone who could drive it, so he could only nod his head in agreement.
"Don't worry about me, you can go ahead and I'll hide in the cabin when the time comes. ”
It just so happened that Ilya, who was lying on the carpet made out of a few coats next to her, woke up and shouted out immediately after hearing Aslan's words.
Although Ilya said so, Aslan still wanted to persuade her to go back first, but in the end it didn't work, so she could only order to continue, hoping to expel the Darktide Fishman as soon as possible and send the eldest lady back.
The Wailing Strait, the closest strait to the port of Kandas, is not known when it was formed, and the cliffs on both sides of it are quite large, but it is only because it bears some resemblance to the real strait on the surface, and in fact it is not accessible to ships, or large ships.
Because between the two cliffs is not the ocean, but a large flat land connected together, which means that the two cliffs are actually connected, they should be called the mountains in the sea, because these flat lands will flood the sea at high tide, so many ships that first come here will mistakenly think that this is a passable place.
If you are lucky, the peak of the high tide will pass, but if you are lucky enough to catch the ebb tide after the high tide, you will be stranded there, and the lamentation of regret before the death of a large number of crew members on these sunken ships has become the origin of the name of this strait.
In the end, the government had to spend a lot of money to set up two large buoys in front of the strait to warn the passing ships, but the sunken ships remained there because the salvage costs were too high, not to mention unsafe, so few salvage companies were willing to take on the business.
As a result, the skeletons and some wooden materials left behind by these wrecked ships attracted the arrival of the Darktide Fishmen some time ago...... This terrain is not perfect for these fish-people, they go out to the ocean at high tide, they can swim directly down to destroy merchant ships, and at low tide there will be a lot of seafood left on the beach, and part of the day's food will be handed.
"We can't get forward here...... Based on our previous experiments, there is shallow water beyond that, which may not be visible now, but after an hour or two, the water will recede considerably, and a large ship with a deep draft like ours can easily crash into those reefs. ”
Large warships can't get close, Aslan has also made preparations in this regard, on the other side of the ship, hang five or six speedboats, these smaller ships are more flexible here, even if they are really grounded, the big deal is to push them back into the water, after all, the people present are professionals, and this strength is still not lacking.
The number of demon hunters on the side is about a dozen, a total of five speedboats, plus a dozen soldiers, it is completely sufficient, originally more than twenty soldiers can be fitted, but Aslan still left some soldiers to protect Ilya, so there are only a dozen left.
Watson didn't care, this time it was the Demon Hunter's mission, and he didn't expect the soldiers to help much, he just needed them to drive their own people to the Darktide Fishmen's side in a speedboat.
It's six o'clock in the evening, but the moon is quite bright tonight, and it hasn't been long since the speedboat has started, and Watson can see the land under the sea with the help of the moonlight, which proves that the terrain here is indeed a bit high, and once the sea tide recedes in a place like this, Aslan is right, those large ships can easily run aground.
"Stop!Watson, it's not yet time for the tide to fall, but through the perception of the water element, I can feel that the sea is about to start receding, instead of fighting those Dark Tide Fishmen in the water now, why don't you hide here first, and wait for the tide to recede and the land over there is almost exposed?"
Ranko, who was sitting on the same speedboat with Watson, felt that it was not a good idea to use it now, and Watson thought about it, the weather was really a little cold now, and if he didn't fight in the water, he would first have to consume a lot of physical strength to maintain his body temperature, which was really bad for the battle.
So in the end, it was decided to wait for the low tide here, and several speedboats stopped on the sea, with the undulation of the waves, Watson looked at the land below by the moonlight in boredom, I don't know if it was because of the moonlight that made the sea water look a little pale blue, and the sea area as far as his eyes could see was a little inexplicably beautiful.
But on closer inspection, there was a lot of danger in this beauty, and in the sand and gravel under the sea, Watson noticed that there were a lot of corpses and bones, and there were some small fish and other things gathered around it pecking at the debris on it.
Wow!!
"Oops! Those Darktide Fishmen have spotted us, but the tide has already started, and we only need to hold on here for a few minutes, and the beach under the Darktide Fishmen in the middle of the channel in front of us will be exposed!"
With a loud eagle cry in the sky, Ranko, who received the will of his Warcraft partner, immediately stood up from the speedboat, and the demon hunters on the few speedboats docked closer next to him naturally knew about it, and pulled out their weapons one after another.
Watson stood up, looking at the blue-purple figures that seemed to be high-speed torpedoes rushing towards several speedboats in the distance, he knew what he had to do, if he let these Darktide fishmen get so close, maybe they would have to sink here before the tide receded.
"Ranko, how long is the time?"
"Hmm...... Five minutes! It only takes five minutes! The low tide has begun, and it is very fast, we just need to stay here for five minutes to make sure that the speedboat is not overturned by these dark tide fishmen, then we will start the speedboat and it won't be long before we see land!"
It would be unwise to start the speedboat now, with the current charging speed of those Darktide Fishmen and the water elemental energy they can mobilize, once the two collide, then the capsizing of the speedboat is almost inevitable, and those present will have to swim over!
Call!!
The huge dark energy condensation directly blew a whirlwind around the speedboat, and in the thick black gas, black eyes slowly appeared from it, half of the entire body was submerged in the sea, and two black long knives slowly emerged in its hands!
Abyssal Flame On!
The dark blue flames spread over the blades, and the next moment Black Rock made a move that surprised everyone except Watson, it actually plunged two long knives directly into the water!
The two long knives slashed to the side, and the sea water stirred up under Watson's control instantly appeared to spread to both sides with the black rock as the center, surrounding several speedboats in the center, and with the freezing effect of the abyssal flames, an ice wall was formed around the Yu speedboat in a short period of time that went straight to the bottom of the sea and was half a meter above the sea surface.
And at the moment when the ice wall was formed, there were bursts of crazy crashing sounds and terrible screams on the ice wall, and those dark tide fishmen collided directly with the hard ice wall at high speed!
"Ranko, I can't use up too much stamina here, I need your help!"
Feeling the continuous consumption of physical strength, Watson turned to Ranko next to him and said.
"Leave it to me! This is the sea! It's not just the home of the Darktide Fishmen, it's my home field!"
The water element in the air fluctuated violently under the mobilization of Ranke, and a few seconds later, the waves that rushed to the sky surged outside the ice wall, and then turned into a water barrier to wrap around Watson's ice wall, forcibly reinforcing it, and this directly saved a lot of physical strength that Watson used to mobilize the abyssal flames.
The cooperation of the two demon hunters made the other demon hunters present dazzled, and their emotions were also very high, and on the warship not far from the speedboat, Ilya also held a telescope and kept watching Watson's actions, and when Watson summoned the black rock and condensed the ice wall, her face was even more red, and her mouth was muttering something unconsciously.
"It's time!
The ice wall and the water elemental barrier shattered, and Watson saw that there were many corpses of Darktide fishmen floating on the sea, and the blue-purple blood had soaked the surrounding sea, but what was even more eye-catching was the more Darktide fishmen floating in the sea and looking at this side!
The sound of the speedboat when it started was like blowing the horn of the charge, and the Darktide fishmen who had stopped because of the ice wall started again, but it was impossible to get the same acceleration as before in such a short distance, and Ranko also mobilized the seawater to form several small whirlpools around the speedboat, forcibly slowing down the speed of these fishmen, so that the speedboat quickly broke through their encirclement.
The white sand beach in the distance under the moonlight, and the large and small houses above, have appeared in front of everyone's eyes! )
