Chapter 242: Sneak Attack, Frozen (2-in-1, Ask for Subscription!! )
The sudden appearance of whales disrupted Archbishop Brandon's plans, and even if the mermaid was under the boat, he lowered the special fishing net in his hand.
An eerie aura enveloped the fleet, the sea breeze suddenly became much more manic, the sea was no longer calm, there were waves in a stack, and as the whales approached, the dark clouds in the distance seemed to be closer.
Seeing the familiar group of whales, Ma Wei had a rough guess in his heart, the dead sea was the territory of the whale ancestor Saisida, and it was not strange to meet each other in this vicinity.
Oddly enough.
Why did the merfolk lure them to the Dead Sea?
Did the merfolk know that Cecida the whale would help them?
"Great Bishop! Whales have something on their backs! ”
The lookout shouted with binoculars, and everyone looked intently, and vaguely saw that the back of the whale group exposed to the sea seemed to have a white shadow, and it was too far away to see it really, so Archbishop Brandon simply took the binoculars and observed.
"Polar elves. It's a polar elf! ”
After a brief pause, Archbishop Brandon looked ecstatic, like a treasure hunter had discovered a golden treasure.
The Polar Elves are another name for the Hygmar tribe, and the Abyssal Beasts are their official name, because the Hygmar people mostly live in the depths of the Far North Sea and are worshiped as gods by the Inuit, so there is a saying that the Polar Elves are called.
The Hagmar have a docile temperament and never take the initiative to attack humans, in addition to being able to control marine creatures, their blood can nourish the soul and prolong their lifespan.
This time.
On the back of each whale, there were several snow-white Hagmar clans, led by the old Hagmar standing on the back of a blue whale, holding a huge trident in his hand, which was more gorgeous than the trident in the hand of the mermaid before.
Involving the ancient mysteries, Archbishop Brandon and others do not know the origin of the Trident of the Highgmar tribe, and Mavike knows that the sea lord Asis created three races, the Sea People, the Whale People and the Highgmar Race, among which the Sea People fell into civil strife because of the departure of Asis, causing the guardian Kraken to go completely crazy and want to find Asis for revenge.
The Hygmars, as the masters of Asis' weapons, have taken on the responsibility of maintaining order in the seas after Asis's disappearance, and they, like the whale ancestor Sesida, intend to kill Kraken and restore peace to the sea.
Where Kraken is now, whether he has been killed or not, Ma Wei does not know, but the trident in the hands of old Hegma is the artifact that belongs to Asis!
There were originally three gems on the trident, two of which were taken away by Asis and one left on the trident, and Mavi had seen the power of the trident two years ago.
It is no exaggeration to say that whoever controls the Trident will become the master of the sea!
Mavi had communicated with the whale Zu Secida, and knew that the other party was a sane transcendent creature who would not kill innocents like the Kraken, let alone the Hagmar, who rarely dealt with land creatures and did not want to meddle in land affairs, and their duty was to protect the sea and wait for the return of Asis.
In the face of such a powerful opponent, the best decision is to retreat immediately, even if you don't leave, you shouldn't be an enemy of it, but Archbishop Brandon completely lost himself after seeing Hagmar, for humans, the Hegmar are more precious than mermaids Extraordinary creatures, as long as there is enough Hagmar blood, plus the immortal realm of the goddess of health, Wild, theoretically.
Eternal life can be achieved!
Compared to the Hegmar, the merfolk are insignificant.
All the members of the Church who had learned about the supernatural creatures were breathless and could not hide their excitement, while Captain Joshua and the unknown sailors were only terrified by what they saw, they didn't know how precious Hygmar was, they only knew that danger was rapidly approaching.
"Nicholas, we're going to get rich!" Archbishop Brandon's voice trembled, "There are so many Hagmar, at least a few hundred, if they can be caught, no one will be able to fight against the Lady of Fate Church!" ”
Of course, Mavi knew how precious the Hagmar was, and asked himself, he also wanted the blood of the Hagmar to study, but he was not carried away by greed, thinking that Odin's Wuerd spring water had not been able to impress him, let alone the blood of the Hagmar tribe.
Perhaps it was precisely because he did not show greed towards the Whale Zu Sesida and the Hegmar Clan that the Whale Zu Secida would patiently answer his doubts, and the people who were carried away by greed were unreasonable, no matter what you said, they would not listen.
The air became cold, white mist came out of the breath, the temperature plummeted, and the sea began to form tiny ice crystals, as if a severe cold was coming.
"Archbishop Brandon, something is wrong." Captain Joshua said in a deep voice, "It's time for us to retreat." ”
"Withdraw? Are you kidding! Archbishop Brandon glared at Joshua and threw the binoculars at him: "You see clearly! That's the polar elf Hagmar! Throughout the history of the Church, no more than one Hyagmar has been discovered! Now there are hundreds! A gift from God! ”
"I don't care how precious Hagmar is."
Joshua put down his binoculars and said: "I only know that danger is coming, there are waves on the sea, the temperature is plummeting, these are the precursors of the coming storm, and there are whales, you should stay away as soon as you see whales at sea, their huge size will overturn any warship."
"Can't be withdrawn! Just a few whales, what's there to be afraid of! ”
Joshua shook his head, turned around and raised his arms, and ordered the sailors to turn the ship around and begin to return home.
On this ship, he was the captain and had supreme command, and the sailors received orders and immediately went into action, but at this moment.
Burst!
The fishing harpoon came out of his chest, Joshua slowly lowered his head, looked at the fishing fork piercing his body from behind, staggered two steps, pulled out his gun and turned around, aimed at Archbishop Brandon, the scar on the right side of his face was faintly beating, and his eyes were full of anger.
If it were a normal person, he would have fallen on the spot when he was pierced through his body by a harpoon, but Joshua made a move of resistance with amazing willpower, his fingers had already pulled the trigger, and with a little force, the bullet would hit Archbishop Brandon in front of him.
But a few seconds later, the gunshots did not sound, and Joshua slowly lowered his arms and fell to the ground clutching his chest.
"Captain!"
"Joshua!"
The sudden scene stunned everyone, Ma Wei rushed to Joshua's side, took a tentative snort, looked at the priest who was accompanying the ship on the side, and roared angrily: "Open the realm of immortality!" ”
The ship's priest looked at Archbishop Brandon, and with the latter's consent, he cast a spell that maintained Joshua's faint vital signs.
The sailors stared at Archbishop Brandon in horror and rage, not understanding why he had done this.
"Joshua is a good captain, but his judgment of the situation is clearly not accurate enough." Archbishop Brandon said slowly: "I didn't want to kill him, and he won't die, it's just that he won't be able to move normally for the next period of time, now I'm here to temporarily take over the captain's position, prepare artillery, and stop returning!" ”
"You're crazy!" Ma Wei frowned, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "You are joking with everyone's lives!" ”
"Nicholas, you're too careful!" Archbishop Brandon smiled: "I understand your thoughts, and I know that returning home is the safest way, but what can be done without risk?" If we want to get the greater good, we are worth the fight! Melissa, start chanting! Others are ready to fight! ”
Joshua was helped into the cabin by the sailors, and before the battle was over, Archbishop Brandon ordered that the harpoon not be pulled out of his body, so that he would remain in a state of unborn and undead at all times, so as not to cause trouble.
Ma Wei didn't expect Joshua not to shoot, you must know that Joshua has always had a hot temper and often can't control his emotions, but he calmed down just now, it seems that his temperament has been sharpened a lot in recent years, and he has become more calm.
After thinking about it, the whales had come to the vicinity of the fleet, but the other party did not attack, and old Hegmar jumped on the deck and said: "The forbidden land ahead, the ships are not allowed to enter, you should return home." ”
Seeing this scene, Ma Wei sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.
Despite their docile temperament, the Hegmar would never approach humans on their own initiative, let alone jump on the deck of a human ship unsuspectingly to inform them that they should return home.
It is not difficult to see from the merfolk's actions to lure them to the vicinity of the Dead Sea that the merfolk want to cause trouble and let the whale Zusidda and the Hagmar solve the threat posed by humans.
No one expected that the Hagmar clan not only did not attack, but kindly reminded them.
Why
I'm afraid it has something to do with myself.
As the god who created himself, of course Cecida and the Hagmar clan would not attack, especially the Mawei people, everyone had seen them and helped each other, how could they fight for no reason?
Mavi suspected that the Hagmar clan had mistaken these human warships for Mavi's ships, so he kindly reminded them.
In the face of the sudden kindness, Archbishop Brandon was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile, leaned over and said: "We were attracted by mermaids and accidentally strayed into the noble territory, please don't misunderstand, we will leave immediately." ”
Old Hegma looked Archbishop Brandon up and down, "Who are you?" ”
"I am."
Archbishop Brandon smiled slightly, suddenly stepped forward, hugged old Hagmar like lightning, and when the other party was stunned, a harpoon pierced through old Hagmar's tail and nailed it to the deck.
Old Hagmar let out a cry of pain, and before he could resist, a fishing net covered with blades fell from the sky and enveloped its body, and the blood of mercury smeared on the blade seeped down the wound, and soon it was silent.
When the rest of the Hagmars saw this, they jumped into the water and fled, and a huge blue whale slammed into the warship with all its strength, and with a loud bang, the warship was almost knocked off the verge by a few points, and Archbishop Brandon was not afraid at all, but shouted excitedly: "Don't let them go!" Fire! Fire! ”
Boom Boom!
The guns on both sides of the warship exploded, and one after another the shells hit the huge body of the whales, and the painful whales began to dive into the water, but the harpoons and fishing nets followed, and in less than half a minute, several Hygmar, who could not escape, were wrapped in fishing nets and dragged to the deck.
Seeing this, the merfolk, who had moved away from the warship as soon as Hagmar approached, swam swiftly, accelerated under the surface of the sea, burst out of the sea, leaped high, threw his trident in the air, and stabbed the sailors into the sea, grabbing their legs and dragging them into the depths, revealing their fangs and fierce faces.
The battle began in an instant, the battle at sea humans did not have an advantage, many magic could not be used, and Archbishop Brandon wanted to catch it alive, resulting in many witchers and ship priests tied their hands, coupled with the large number of mermaids, they could not gain an advantage for a while, but many sailors were dragged into the sea by mermaids.
"Mercury blood! Pour the blood of mercury into the sea! Fast! ”
Seeing that there were more and more mermaids gathered near the warship, Archbishop Brandon's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly commanded the sailors to open the wooden box and drip bottles of mercury blood into the seawater.
One by one, the merfolk who had lost their strength surfaced, were caught in the nets, and dragged onto the deck.
"Hahaha!"
Archbishop Brandon laughed loudly, they had managed to catch so many Hagmar and merfolk without even using the holy relics, and the harvest of this trip could no longer be described as rich.
It's a full load!
Click, click, click
"Ahem! Ahem, ahem! ”
Archbishop Brandon, who inhaled a cold breath, coughed violently, and he looked under the ship, and found that at some point, a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the sea, and the temperature was even colder, and the sky was full of dark clouds, and the wind began to sweep the sky and the earth with a sharp blade of ice ballast.
At the same time, everyone stopped what they were doing, pricked up their ears, and heard the heavy heartbeat from underwater.
Something is hurrying closer!
The ice crystals quickly formed and froze the sea, and then the ice in front of them burst into pieces, and a sperm whale as huge as a hill jumped high and flew over everyone's heads, and the sailors instantly froze in their passing.
The Holy Maiden Melissa had finished chanting, slowly closed her eyes, and an illusory door appeared above her head, and the door burst open, and a white jade foot stepped out and embraced Melissa below.
"Daddy!"
Yunia shook Ma Wei's palm like lightning, just at this time the cold spread, Archbishop Brandon, the second prince Shukri, and the witcher turned into icemen, Ma Wei shivered, feeling as if his body had fallen into the ice cave in the polar region, from the outside to the inside, a pressing cold air eroded wildly.
The power that Yunia fused into her body resisted the cold, and even so, Mavi's hair and eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost, and her face turned pale, looking at Levin and Daniel beside her.
Daniel had frozen into an ice sculpture, still maintaining a frightened expression of half a step back and looking up at the sky, and Levine had nothing to do, froze in place, staring around blankly, dazed.
Also resisting the cold was the saint Melissa, and in order not to be discovered by her, Mavi hurriedly pulled Levin and Yunia into the cabin and hid to observe the situation outside.
Melissa raised her indifferent eyes and looked at the whale Zu Sesida who fell to the bottom of the sea in the distance, ignoring Archbishop Brandon and the others who were frozen into ice sculptures, at this moment, her body was already occupied by the goddess of sin, Tilde.
"This coldness."
Tilde pinched a piece of ice crystal that fell from the sky, crushed it gently, narrowed his eyes, and said:
"What do you have to do with the Frost Giants?"
