(197) Chaotic situation
"Damn! What was he doing in a daze? How not to shoot! ”
Victor Strandhoard took an attacking stance, his hands raised in the air and half a sword, all the way above his head, and charged towards the Kraken.
This gesture is called "Heavenly Punishment", and his family swordsmanship is derived from the ancient medieval chivalric technique, which is completely different from modern swordsmanship, focusing more on strength than precision.
Seeing the boy rushing forward, Captain Peter hurriedly raised his arms and pressed the muzzles of the sailors beside him: "Stupid! Don't shoot! , will hurt the little lord by mistake! ”
I saw the kraken throw away the corpse of the sailor, her beautiful face splashed with blood, and she waved her sharp nails to tear the rushing boy to pieces.
"Stupid monster! You're a big opener! Defenseless! ”
Victor easily swung his sword to block his nails, fended off the Ling's blow with his metal bracers, and then severed one of the Kraken's arms, sending blue blood gushing out.
Then he quickly flipped his wrist and said, "Drink!" "The ground slammed, and it slashed violently,
He cut off the beautiful head and said softly, "Goodbye, lady of the sea." Then he kicked it back into the sea, causing a splash.
"Oops! Awesome! The crew raised their guns and cheered.
"Well done! Lord Victor! ”
"Oh no! More Krakens are coming! Get ready for battle! ”
The Kraken's head fell into the water, which apparently angered her sisters even more, and the shadows under the water gathered more and more, and they began to try to climb towards the ship.
"They're attacking! Fire! ”
The sound of gunfire and smoke from the dhows and the sound of knives unsheathed was incessant, and the sailors held their own area and fought to the death against those who climbed up.
Peter Orkonsky shot a kraken in the abdomen, then drew his knife and cut it in two, shouting at his companions: "Hold on! We're approaching the fleet! ”
"Oh! Oh, my God! Damn it! The observer on the mast shouted with a telescope, "I see it!" Our fleet is firing, firing in the direction of the exit from the fjord! It must have been the coalition fleet that attacked! ”
"! Everything came together! What a mess! Captain Peter scolded, "First the demons and monsters at the bottom of the sea, and then the naval battle!" It's a exciting day! ”
"There's more exciting, Captain," the observer pointed to the sky,
Inadvertently, the thick dark clouds have quietly covered the nearby sea, and some electric lights can be faintly seen jumping in it, and the nearby seabirds are flying low, indicating that a new storm is coming.
At this moment, the Sirens who were attacking the boat suddenly stopped, began to howl wildly, and then all jumped back into the sea and swam into the depths.
The deck was slippery and greasy, almost unsteady, red blood and blue blood pooled and flowed everywhere, and the corpses of the Kraken and the crew were stacked on top of each other, a tragic sight.
"How are we losing?" Peter asked.
"Report to the captain, 12 dead, 7 wounded, and a few more people who were dragged into the water and are missing! Act recklessly! ”
Peter looked at the water, where a sampan floated by the side of the boat, with a human leg and a pair of gnawed ribs, "The one who fell into the water must be dead!" He concluded.
Little Victor shook the blue blood from the blade of his sword, and then skillfully put his sword into the sheath, he looked at the sea, and said, "Even those monsters can't resist the power of nature!" ”
Someone said to him, "Yes, little sir, it was this storm that saved us!" ”
"What are we going to do now?" A crew member asked.
At this moment, the sound of artillery in the distance is getting denser and denser, and it is clear that the two fleets are already in full battle.
Everyone's eyes were less focused on Captain Peter, but more on the young guardian of the Holy Sepulchre, Baron Victor.
He had just single-handedly killed 4 ferocious Krakens and saved the lives of many crew members, while the others combined had killed 5 Krakens, and everyone was touched by the boy's bravery, he had replaced Captain Peter as the real leader of this ship.
One of the paddlers said in a thick steppe accent: "You give the order!" Little sir, you just saved my life! I'll listen to you! ”
Little Victor did not hesitate at all, he pointed in the direction of the fierce exchange of fire between the two fleets: "Although we only have this small boat left, although everyone is wounded, as Valstad soldiers, we must do our duty!" ”
The boy drew the knight's half-sword again, with a little blue blood still sticking to it, and pointed the tip of the sword in the direction from which the cannon sounded, and shouted in a slightly childish voice: "Varsta's sailors! Towards the battlefield, onward! ”
By this time, there was no need for the paddlers to exert themselves, a strong storm had already struck, the sails of the dhow were fully puffed up, and soon they were on the battlefield of a naval battle, and their own fleet was in front of them.
Sure enough, the FTA fleet was forced to go on the defensive, with all ships lined up in a straight line, with the guns on the side facing the direction of the fjord entrance, which was also the direction of the coalition fleet's attack.
Farther from here, at the entrance to the Kraken Fjord, the coalition fleet was formed into four columns, braving artillery fire, rushing straight ahead, the number of enemy ships was staggering, and the dense sails made people's scalps tingle.
Victor's small ship successfully approached his flagship, the Pelican, and with the help of sailors, successfully boarded the ship, Captain Peter immediately returned to his first mate post, and Victor went straight to the fleet command room in the stern.
After pushing the door open, I saw a busy scene inside, and the top brass of the fleet were gathering around the table to plan tactics.
Duke Langford Onassis glanced up, his face changed drastically: "Huh? You're finally back! Why is there so much blood on the body? Didn't get hurt, did you? ”
"I'm fine, it's all the blood of the sailors...... Adoptive father, only one of the three sloops of our reconnaissance team came back, and I and 29 crew members survived, and the others were killed by the Kraken. ”
Langford clenched his adopted son's hand tightly: "Hey! I said I should fear the gods! I really regret allowing you to investigate, and if something really happens to you, your adoptive mother, Your Majesty, will not be able to eat me alive? ”
"Oh my God! The legend of that Siren eating people...... It turned out to be true? Admiral Hammond, the commander of the fleet, exclaimed: "Little sir, those ghosts didn't catch up, did they?" ”
"If you haven't caught up, don't worry, as soon as the sky changes, those krakens and other ghosts under the water are all gone."
"It's okay...... OK! It would be too bad to be attacked by those things at this juncture! ”
Victor stepped forward and asked eagerly, "Adults! I hope to contribute to the fleet! Do you have any assignments for me? ”
The Duke of Langford waved his hand at him, "You keep me honest in the cabin!" I won't allow you to take any more risks! ”
The boy was obviously not convinced, stubbornly raised his head, did not speak, and did not want to leave, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand, and stood in place in disbelief.
Langford couldn't bear to leave him aside, and said, "All right! All right! Give you an errand to do! You go above deck and do the sailors a favor! Promise me that as soon as the enemy ships approach, you will immediately go back to the warehouse for refuge, is that okay? ”
"Yes! Adoptive father! The boy gave a military salute, pushed the door open and left.
Langford was still not at ease, so he ordered one of the naval officers beside him, "Hey, you! With a few powerful sailors, follow Lord Victor, his life, you are responsible! ”
