(664) Manta rays
The bottom of the sea shows a huge shadow, constantly rising...... Rise......
Suddenly, a huge flattened creature rose from the sea, and a three-masted heavy cruiser could not escape being jacked up, and then slipped out of the slimy skin and fell heavily into the water.
Admiral Valero ordered the fleet to concentrate its fire on the giant creature,
However, this guy was so huge, the size of a tenth of Alpagis, that the 36-pounder naval cannon hit it as if it were popcorn on a person, and there was no effective response.
I don't know how it works, as if gravity is reversed, the wingless sea trolls rise higher and higher, leaving the elevation angle of the cannon's shot, and the naval gunners can only watch in a hurry.
Charlotte looked at what was happening below in amazement, it was magical, as if she was watching an absurd and hilarious Gothic fairy tale play:
"I've seen something like this in museums, and it looks ...... It is like a deep-sea manta ray, which is tens of thousands of times larger than its normal size. β
Count Neule had just shot down a bat monster with his rifle, and in just over ten minutes, he had miraculously completely overcome his fear of heights, and without fear poked his head out and looked down:
"It's like a manta ray, how can a sea creature fly into the sky? I really don't know the rules! We've got to take care of it! β
Charlotte covered her mouth and smiled: "You are so humorous, what are you going to do with this big guy?" β
Somele took off his winter jacket, put down his rifle, and carried only light equipment, a pistol, a saber and a cluster grenade, then turned to the group and said:
"Ladies, allow me to perform a waltz of death, Miss Medice, please tie the thick linen rope around my waist and tie the knots tightly, for I do not want to be thrown to death."
Colonel Charlotte withdrew his smile: "What are you going to do?" β
"Go down and slaughter that big guy."
"What nonsense! Untie the rope! β
"Not really!" Neulai stuck out his tongue: "I'm the generalissimo of the palace, the big celebrity next to Your Majesty, just you?" A little Air Force colonel, and still want to command me? No way! β
"Damn! I don't care about you! Concentrated fire shooting from the Navy is useless! We have to rely on the strength of the collective, put away your set of personal heroism of the macho mentality, you are going to ...... single-handedly"
Neule hugged Charlotte and kissed her lightly on the cheek:
"You want to say that I'm in a hurry to die, right?"
This kiss caught people off guard, Charlotte covered her face, shocked and speechless,
The female soldiers under her command all cast envious eyes, and a girl of this age is longing for a vigorous love.
"The best place for a warrior is to embrace death with honor, and if I am fortunate enough to return, I have much to say to you, Miss Charlotte."
Neule put on a gas mask, flipped out the hanging basket, looked at the center of the manta ray monster, and jumped without hesitation.
He embraced the sky with open arms, felt the cold air currents hit his body, his hat blown away, and his short blond hair was messy in the wind.
(The blue sky, the blue sea, and the people who fight to the death,
It couldn't get any better than this, and it's nice to have no fear of heights. οΌ
Getting closer and closer to the manta ray monster's dark brown back, with the strength of his waist and abdomen, Neulai got up and held the rope to slow the fall, and the leather gloves were all worn thin.
After successfully landing, he unloaded most of the momentum with a forward roll, but he was still smashed to the ground, and quickly came to his senses with his will.
The giant manta ray has a saddle on its back, and a high-ranking sorcerer rides on it to control the beast.
The back and forth of the monster made it difficult for Neulei to stand still, and he staggered towards the wizard, pulling out his pistol and pulling the trigger on his back, the bullet piercing his waist.
The wizard's face contorted in pain, he covered his wounds, and looked back to see the incoming enemyβ
A tall, sturdy middle-aged man, dressed in a silk shirt, leather waistcoat, trousers, and riding boots, with a blond beard and piercing blue-gray eyes, was staring at him.
The man threw away the smoking pistol and drew his saber and walked over.
"Despicable heretics...... Sneak attack from behind! β
The wizard endured the severe pain, took a small clay pot from his backpack, and threw it with all his strength.
The manta ray monster's back skin was hard, the jar was shattered, and a thick green smoke came out, which looked like it was poisonous.
Wearing a gas mask, Neulai was unaffected at all, still approaching with his saber in his hand.
"How is that possible? This poison gas can even smoke an elephant to death! The wizard frantically flipped out another jar and threw it.
Neulai saw it clearly, and he quickly twisted his wrist, grabbed the incoming clay pot with the side of his saber, and then used the elasticity of steel to bounce back the same way with skill.
The jar shattered on the saddle under the wizard's ass, and a swarm of colorful beetles sprang out of it, and the horrible little creatures crawled down the gap in the trouser tube to the wizard's legs, and the sharp mouthparts began to gnaw on the flesh of the living.
"Oops!"
The wizard screamed in pain: "Despicable Valsta...... I used my sorcery to ...... Deal with me...... Why...... Will the poison fog fail? β
Neulai walked up to the wizard and tapped his gas mask: "Your witchcraft is outdated, poor devil! β
The saber pierced the wizard's heart, ending his suffering from the gnawing of beetles.
"You should thank me, cultist."
The giant manta ray monster writhed in the air, and Neule could barely stand on his feet, plunging the tip of his saber into the monster's skin before he could move on.
He came to the monster's head and exclaimed:
"It's such a big thing, but the eyes are only as small as a plate...... What a shameful and pathetic wretch, blame the bastards who summoned you! β
With a saber in his right hand and a dagger drawn from his boot in his left, Neulai crouched down and gouged out the monster's eyes.
As the blind monster began to writhe wildly in pain, Neulei lit a cluster grenade, shoved it into the monster's eye socket, and then rhythmically pulled the rope to signal.
Soon, the rope tightened, and he began to slowly rise.
"Boom!" The explosion of the new gunpowder was so powerful that it completely destroyed the skull tissue, and the manta ray monster smashed into the sea at an alarming speed like a kite with a hole, and sank.
"Fortunately, I didn't hit my brothers in the navy."
Neule took off his gas mask and took a big breath as he watched the view as the hot-air balloon troops and the small bat monsters fought each other, gradually gaining the upper hand with the range and accuracy of their rifles.
"This time, human technology has triumphed over witchcraft."
Neule looked up and saw the spinning pulley, being dragged into the pod by the Air Force soldiers.
Observer Medis excitedly shouted, "We've seen it all above!" You're amazing! My lord, I killed that big guy single-handedly! β
As soon as Neule wanted to speak, he was slapped in the face;
"Smack!"
He looked at Colonel Charlotte, the commander of the Air Force, who was looking at him with an angry face:
"Hey! Why are you hitting me? β
"Why don't you listen to me and insist on jumping? I just thought ...... Already...... Lost you. If the generalissimo of the palace is dead, how can I deal with Your Majesty? β
Neule smiled and scratched his head, looking like a stupid reckless man;
"I'm sorry, big sister, you're the boss in the air, I'm wrong!"
Two lines of hot tears ran down Charlotte's cheeks, and she threw herself into Neulai's broad chest, ignoring the watchful eyes of her men;
"You ...... Reckless and dull fool egg! I'm scared to death, and when the fight is over, I have to treat myself to apologize! β
Neulai gently patted the colonel's back, looking at the air force girls cast with admiring eyes:
"Apologies are necessary, ladies, I invite you to dine at the Golden Lake Palace, you can eat whatever you want, the palace chef can procure the best ingredients."
Second Lieutenant Scarlett, the captain of the shooter, smiled evilly: "Lord Earl, I want to drink green pepper manta fish stew." β
"You deliberately put? Other dishes are fine, but this one is not good! Neule said; Aren't manta rays just manta rays...... Oh, my God...... The smell of that slime just now...... What a ......
In a word...... I don't want to see manta rays again in my fucking life! β
