​...

... At night - unknown waters - the destroyer "Tomura".

[Captain Toshi] "sent a telegram to the Admiralty, saying that this is the destroyer Toshi, and now the time is ten o'clock in the evening, and we are currently sailing in the xxx sea area of the "Naka-Hiroshi Sea", and reported to the Admiralty for the eighth time, so far we have not found any survivors of the "Golden Night" steamship, but on the way to search, we found some suspected wreckage of the "Golden Night" steamship floating on the sea

["Tomurasaki" correspondent] "received"

When the clock ticks and the scene changes to a destroyer hanging from the Hioka Kingdom, the destroyer Tomura has been searching for traces of the defunct Golden Night survivors for more than a day

[Captain Tomurasaki]"..."

When the captain conveyed the content of the report to the communication room, he silently came to the bridge deck to blow the wind with a slightly lost expression

[Deputy Captain of the "Tomurasaki"]"... You okay? ”

[Captain of the Tomura] "I... It's okay..."

The captain who was blowing the wind outside was just about to pull out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket and was about to reach out and take out one of the cigarettes inside

A co-captain of the destroyer Tomura, who was also wearing an officer's uniform and a white officer's cap, also walked from the bridge to the captain standing on the outer deck of the bridge

[Deputy Captain of the Toshi] "I know you've made international efforts to find survivors, but sometimes, it's not ideal to drain your own mental strength like this, and my brothers don't want to see you like this."

[Captain of the Tomura] "I... I just feel sorry that even though the list of more than 300 people on the "Golden Night" is all from the Kaijins Empire, they just disappeared for no reason...? It's shocking."

While they were chatting, the captain took out a cigarette and handed it to the co-captain, and then took out a cigarette for himself

[Vice Captain Toji] "I also feel sorry for the incident of the Golden Night, but I have heard that this incident now seems to be a powder keg for a war between the Imperial Kingdom of Kaizins and our country."

Then, after the captain put the cigarette case back in his coat pocket and took out the lighter, he set himself and the co-captain's cigarettes on fire

[Captain Tomurasaki] "Hmph... Don't listen to the nonsense of those extremists, if we want to fight, our Fourth Fleet headquarters received a call from the Admiralty yesterday."

[Deputy Captain of the "Toshi"] "Uh-huh, maybe you're right"

[Captain of the "Toshi" "So I bet these birdmen will be the first to hide if a war really breaks out"

Later, while the two of them were smoking and chatting, they would occasionally look up at the moonlit moon in the sky

[Captain "Toshi"] "Whew... Well? ”

Just as the captain was exhaling a puff of smoke, he stumbled upon the control tower of an unknown transport ship, which was about eight kilometers (eight thousand meters) away from his own ship, as if it were constantly turning searchlights back and forth at them

However, there seems to be a pattern to this, for example, the transport ship on the opposite side will sometimes pause for a few seconds when the lights are turned on and then turn off the lights, and sometimes it will turn the lights on and off immediately

["Tomurasaki" scout] "Captain! The ship on the other side is sending us a signal! ”

At this time, on the deck above the head of the bridge, a reconnaissance sailor also spotted the transport ship's movements

[Captain Tomurasaki] "What message are they sending us?" ”

["Tomura" scout] "They said... They are... The oil tanker "Yuanlan" of the country of Xioga... They pass through... Binoculars to come... View... Found us... Flying the flag of the motherland ... So here... To the Motherland's... The Guardian... Say hello."

Then, under the captain's question, the reconnaissance sailors looked at the switching and moving patterns of the searchlights of the opposing tanker through the telescope to accurately translate the light language for the captain

[Captain "Tomurasaki"] "Hmph~It turned out to be compatriots~"

["Toshi" scout] "Yes Captain ~ Do we need to reply to our compatriots ~"

When the captain of the ship learned the identity of the other party's compatriots, they immediately lifted any guard against the tanker, and they all showed a smile because of the friendship between their compatriots and their own ship

[Deputy Captain of the "Tomura" "Then it must be ~"

Then the vice-captain was so excited that he climbed up the stairs outside the deck to the deck above the bridge, and then came to the side of the scout sailor

[Deputy Captain of the "Tomurasaki]"In reply to them, he said, "The destroyer "Tomurasaki" and all its officers and men greeted the compatriots on the tanker."

["Tomurasaki" scout] "Yes~"

Under the orders of the co-captain, the reconnaissance sailor was also more than happy to operate the fixed rotatable searchlight beside him, and then pointed the light at the oil tanker in the distance and began to signal the other party in response

Whew——(Deep Sea Swimming)

But what the captain didn't know was that in the deep sea below their ship, a huge body was passing under them

[sonar equipment] "Whew-huh-hahaha-haha-"

["Toshi" sonar] "Hmm??? ”

At the same time, located in the sonar room

When the sonar man was constantly listening to the swimming movements of various marine animals in the deep sea and the sound of the sea through the sonar console and sound-isolating headphone equipment, he suddenly heard a hoarse laugh in the midst of this mixture

[sonar equipment] "Haha-ha-ha-"

[sonar officer of the "Tomurasaki"] "Captain! There's movement under our ship! ”

Then, after a few seconds of repeated confirmation, the sonar crew immediately reported the situation to the bridge side through the wired walkie-talkie on the operating table

[Captain Tomura] "Huh?!" ”

Perhaps because the captain had replaced the voice transmission mode on the command console with a louder amplification mode, the captain on the outer deck of the bridge quickly heard the sonar officer's report

[Captain Toshi] "What happened?" ”

Then the captain immediately opened the door and rushed into the bridge, and came to the command console, and picked up the wired walkie-talkie on the table to respond to the sonar officer

"There is laughter under our ship!" ”

[Captain Tomurasaki] "What??? ”

Faced with the sonarman's strange response, the captain didn't know what to say for a moment, because he didn't understand what the sonar officer meant by that laugh

"I understand it's ridiculous! But listen! ”

The sonar officer in the sonar room naturally understood that this report sounded ridiculous, so he directly took off the headphones he was wearing and unplugged the headphone cable connected to the sonar console

Then the sonar equipment immediately amplified the various chaotic sounds of the deep sea, and the sonar crew also placed the walkie-talkie on the announcer, so that the captain could hear the clear laughter in the chaos

"Whoa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-"

[Captain Tomura] "This...?! What the hell is this?? ”

After listening carefully to the hoarse laughter coming from the intercom and the sudden strange words, the captain was also frightened by this bizarre situation

[sonar officer of the Tomura] "But now that laughter is gradually moving away to the left of our ship!" ”

[Captain "Tomura" "Left direction? ”

Later, after listening to the sonar officer report the real-time whereabouts of the laughter to himself, the captain immediately subconsciously turned his head to the left

[Captain "Tomurasaki"]"... Yes...! ”

Then he began to look surprised—he saw through the glass of the bridge on the left that the tanker that had been sailing in the same direction as the destroyer not long ago

[Deputy Captain of the Tomura] "What happened—"

[Captain Toshi] "Send a danger signal to the tanker!" ”

And when the deputy captain climbed down the stairs with a stunned face and just stepped into the bridge, he was suddenly interrupted by the captain's loud shouts before he could finish his words

[Captain "Toshi"]"Send a deep-sea danger signal to the tanker immediately!" ”

Then, gradually sensing that something was wrong, the captain immediately ran to the outer deck of the bridge under the way of the quick reacting co-captain, and then he looked up and nervously shouted orders to the scouts on the overhead deck of the bridge

["Toshi" scout]"Ahhh Be! ”

The reconnaissance sailors who suddenly received the order also immediately subconsciously controlled the searchlight, and then pointed the light at the oil tanker in the distance and began to send a danger signal

[Captain of the tanker]"..."

At the same time, the tanker with the flag of the Hioka country, located in the distance to the left of the destroyer "Toshi", was also flying

The captain and several other crew members in black suits and uniforms on the bridge were watching through their binoculars as the Tomurasaki was sending them a new light signal

[tanker crew] "Be careful... There's something... At... Deep... Past... Your... Direction... Swim away."

Then, under the translation of the other professional crew members who could understand the language of the light, the news of the "Toshi" was successfully conveyed

[Captain of the tanker] "What the hell...?" What does it mean that something is in the deep ocean and then swimming towards us? ”

[Tanker crew]: "Are they talking about submarines? What are we going to do? ”

[Captain of the tanker] "I want to think-"

Boom ——! (Loud sound of sea surface breaking)

While the crew was still discussing with the captain how to deal with the danger that the Tomurasaki had warned them of

A huge body suddenly broke through the sea level on the right side of the tanker, and then exposed the entire upper body and appeared directly exposed to the sea

[Rotten - Sea Monster] "Toy hahaha! ”

And this monster with a hundred-meter-tall upper body is a rotten giant sea monster turned into by rotten energy

Bell Bell Bell Bell – (Alarm sound in the distance)

[Deputy Captain of the Toshi] "What the hell is this?!" ”

After watching a long large oil tanker suddenly completely obscured by a behemoth, the siren suddenly sounded from the oil tanker in the distance

And a large number of officers and men on all the destroyers of the "Toshi" who were present on the bridge were all instantly shocked by the hundred-meter-tall rotten troll that only exposed the upper half of its body

[Captain Tomura] "Sound the battle alarm!" ”

Bell bell bell bell ——! (Alarm sounds)

Then, under the captain's surprise and the feeling of oppression brought about by the monster's huge body, he immediately ordered the destroyer "Toshi" to enter combat mode

[Chef Tomura] "What's wrong?!" ”

The cooks, who were still arranging the dishes and tableware in the kitchen, immediately ran out of the kitchen to inquire about the situation after suddenly hearing a loud alarm erupting inside the ship

["Toshi" sailor] "I don't know! ”

However, the sailors who immediately responded to the emergency in the crew lounge of the ship, and the moment they suddenly ran around in the corridor of the ship, did not know what they were going to face at this time

[Deputy Captain of the "Tomurasaki"] "Report to the Admiralty immediately!" Send the code name "003"! A 100-meter-high sea monster was found at the xxx position of "Zhongqi Sea"! It is attacking the tanker "Yuanlan"! ”

[Captain of the "Toshi"] "All the main guns of the ship are aimed at the giant sea monster on the left!" ”

At this time, under the continuous loud sound of battle sirens, the inside of the bridge, which was the command brain of the battleship, also panicked instantly

Woo – (main turret turning)

Subsequently, under the command of the captain, the two twin-mounted fully enclosed turrets in the bow and one twin-mounted fully enclosed turret in the stern were all put into operation

Then all the black muzzles of the ship's main guns turned to the rotten trolls with their backs to the destroyer

The distance between the destroyer and the tanker and the rotten troll was still eight kilometers, but at this time the destroyer had begun to approach the tanker diagonally

As for the reason why the destroyer did this, it may be that it can keep the firepower of the ship's main guns in place while getting closer, and secondly, it can increase the hit rate of the main guns while getting closer in the battle with the rotten trolls

["Toshi" gunner] "Damn! What is it?! ”

The gunners, located inside the enclosed main cannon, were surprised to see the behemoth through the small detector mirror on top of the main cannon after the gun turned to the rotten troll

Bell bell bell bell ——! (Alarm sounds)

[Captain of the tanker]: "This is the oil tanker "Yuanlan"! We're under attack by monsters! ”

At the same time, the captain of the bridge on the tanker's aboard ship is holding a wired walkie-talkie and making desperate calls for help through the radio station amid the loud sirens and the screams of the panicked crew around him

As for why the other crew members were so panicked and even started to run away on their own, it was because the rotten troll's right hand grabbed the bow deck of the tanker directly, making the tanker unable to get out of danger at full speed, which made them immediately have the idea of abandoning ship...

[Rotten - Sea Monster] "Food ha-ha-ha——! ”

[Captain of the tanker] "We are located in the xxx position of "Zhongqi Sea"! Save ——?! ”

Just as the captain was still desperately calling for help, he saw the left palm of the monster that was looking at the bridge and laughing suddenly aimed at the bridge, and then the palm of his hand was instantly torn vertically

Phew——! (Instantaneous sound of flying)

Crackling——! (sound of glass breaking)

Immediately after that, several sharp and deadly tentacles suddenly flew out of the opening in the palm of his hand, and directly broke through the glass of the bridge

Then he mercilessly pierced the chest of the captain and all the crew members who had not escaped from the bridge, and killed him instantly

And the inside of the bridge was sprayed with a lot of blood at that moment...
