At the same time that the fleet of Xiuge and the others was attacked by the deep-sea community, the port where the Dawn Society was located also ushered in riots.

The members of the Dawn Society, who had been waiting for a long time, were surprised to find that a large number of splashes suddenly exploded on the sea outside the harbor, as if a large number of hungry fish were approaching the harbor under the sea surface.

The soldiers, who had been notified in advance, entered the battle state as soon as possible.

Although they had no way of determining what the water ripples and waves were, they were ordered by Darswell and other commanders to resolutely begin to pour fire on the sea ahead.

A web of heavy machine guns and small crystalline cannons loomed over the sea in an instant, breaking the streaks of the rolling water and revealing the shadows that lurked beneath the water.

In the presence of seasoned fishermen, they would have discovered that the presence of the harbour was the same school of snapper fish they used to depend on.

Yes, sea bream.

The sea bream is the most common in seaside restaurants.

Even the Boult snapper that fishermen are most familiar with and love!

It's just that these snappers, which usually grow up to the length of an adult's forearm, are obviously not normal anymore.

In the bright light woven by the mass of crystalline spotlights, a deadly metal rain curtain swept through the waves, and then a large mass of huge figures covered in gray-blue scales rose to the surface of the sea in the surging blood water.

Just like the deformities that Shug and Vilin had found in the fishermen's homes, the bodies of these snappers had also undergone serious alterations.

They are the stitchers of the nightmare image, and have the most hideous appearance of coastal folklore.

An extraordinarily large mutant snapper churned violently under the stimulation of pain, its body was close to the size of an adult, several heads full of sharp teeth grew in front of its huge body, the fins on its back became like sails, and between the sprays of blood, there were many unrecognizable, like the shadows of limbs flickering......

After witnessing such a scene, the soldiers operating the weapons and the mages who were preparing for the magic ritual had no reservations, and with the command of the Dawn Society commanding one after another, the abundant firepower was completely released, and the sea outside the port dock was covered by a series of magical explosions, and the heavy crystalline naval guns on the Dawn Goddess had also been adjusted in place.

A crystalline cannonball burst just right in the water, and the terrible force of the impact tore a small group of sea monsters trying to raid the docks into pieces of various sizes, and with the splash of the waves, a distorted snapper with only a small half cut left soared and spun in the air, and smashed heavily on the deck of a frigate gunboat.

For a moment, the rich smell of sea fish, blood, and an indescribable strange aura mixed into the nostrils of a member of the Dawn Society, who was born inland and didn't like the ocean that much, so he let out a retching sound on the spot, and then immediately picked up his revolver rifle, shot the quivering half of the strange fish, and then flew up and kicked it into the corner.

"Ah, I hate fish! I swear I won't eat fish again for the next two years! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you don't eat fish in the first place."

Another Dawn Society soldier raised his gun while scolding, fired several shots at a shadow "lying down" on the edge of the deck, and after solving the hidden danger in front of him, he reached out to wipe a few drops of seawater from his face, and then turned his gaze to the sea in the distance.

These giant misshapen snappers seemed to be just tempters of attack, and on the surface of the sea behind them, some colorful lights and shadows could be faintly seen, and those strange colors rose and fell with the waves, and they just stayed there quietly, and did not make any more moves.

The soldier, who had stood guard near the lab before, remembered vividly that one night he had seen a similar glow through the crack in the lab's door.

"Is that why they're attacking us?"

The soldier had this doubt in his mind, but then a wave that exploded on the water not far away caught his attention, and out of instinct, he immediately turned his weapon and pulled the trigger in the direction of the wave.

He has a quick reflexes and is very accurate in his shooting.

However, to everyone's expectations, it was not any distorted fish that appeared in the huge waves that exploded, and with the adjustment of the two crystalline spotlights, the bright light shone on the surface of the sea, so people were surprised to find that in the light, an extremely burly and strange figure actually appeared from underwater.

It was as if it could stand directly in the water, and its upper body stood firmly in the midst of the raging water.

Almost immediately, members of the Order of Dawn discovered that this bizarre humanoid was unlike any other race of Vann they were familiar with, and while its upper body structure looked similar to that of a human, it appeared to be extremely burly, and its body appeared to be covered in some kind of hard, dark blue scale armor.

And its head, which is exposed to light, is even more bizarre.

The soldier who shot first before was completely dumbfounded.

On that flat face, he didn't see any facial features at all.

Eyes, nose, ears...... None of these organs existed, and the only thing he could see was a huge mouth in the middle of the skull, slightly protruding to look like the large mouth of some carnivorous marine fish.

"What the hell is this?"

The soldier glared and muttered to himself, and then he saw the strange figure raise his hand, which in fact looked more like a twisted limb with multiple tendrils of tough flesh, the end of which gently tugged twice on the figure's head.

It removed a deformed metal bullet that had been lightly embedded in the scale armor.

It pinched the tiny object between its tentacles.

These lost beings with ancient origins seem to be seriously identifying and understanding these weapons that exist in the new age.

……

The defense of the Dawn Society's port garrison was excellent.

With early warning, their response was timely enough and the response measures were strong enough.

Coupled with their backs to their stations, abundant supplies, and multi-angle fire support, those strange attackers beyond ordinary people's perception were not able to really impact and damage the Dawn Society's defenses.

But for those who are in the middle of the sea, and who have no place to stand except their own ships, what happens in this dark night is no different from the most terrible hell scene they can imagine.

The crew of the Windless were lucky.

They weren't on a warship in the real sense of the word, but it was one with a solid magical protection ritual and a true expert who could confront the unknown dangers directly.

What made everyone present feel extremely relieved was not only the powerful strength that Xiuge showed that could directly eliminate the danger, but also the arrangements and arrangements he made.

The more chaotic the moment, the more evident the sense of security that comes with stable, orderly, and reliable directives.

After the strange creatures managed to approach the Windless, the people were glad for the careful decisions they had made in advance, as they found that the emergency protection rituals that had been activated in advance on the Windless were very effective against the monsters that tried to approach the ship and take advantage of the onto deck and hull.

The soldiers saw with their own eyes that a huge figure twice the size of an adult shark was torn into pieces of various sizes by the shaking ritual field as it tried to get close to the Windless, and even the psychedelic blood that burst out from inside the flesh was invisibly destroyed by the violent magical turmoil.

On the other hand, the two sister armored ships, the Silver Shield and the Dark Sea Sand, were also lucky.

As an important symbol of the development of the navy in the Van En civilization, the armored ship has been able to provide its crew with the highest sense of security until now.

Even as the encirclement continued to shrink, the two armoured ships began to engage the enemy at close range, but the stable hull, solid armor, and fully equipped heavy weapons and protective rituals gave them a successful advantage in the confrontation, and the heavy naval guns continued to support the rest of the fleet under the orders of the commanders of the two armoured ships.

However, for the other three small escort gunboats, these bizarre attackers were quite deadly.

The will of the ocean community, which can communicate with each other, saw the three small ships as the first target of the attack at the beginning of the attack, and although the powerful weapons caused serious damage to the life of the community during the attack, the situation quickly changed after they successfully reached the gunboat's side and began to board the ship with their deformed bodies that they had catalyzed.

There is no doubt that the gunboat, which did not activate the emergency protection ceremony in the first place, paid a terrible price for this.

Under the cover of the rest of the mages and soldiers, Xiuge re-mounted another set up telescopic gun, and through the long-range sights above, he saw that the soldiers on the gunboat were constantly hunted down or driven out by those strange limbs, and Xiuge could even see people being thrown into the sea by tentacles, and the soldiers who fell into the water were swallowed up on the spot by the terrifying shadow that suddenly appeared in the turbulent waves.

With his own abilities, Shug once again began to shoot at key targets, but soon, after successfully smashing several dangerous "sarcomas", Shug discovered that many small shadows were boarding the gunboat through the broken sarcomas.

The shadows looked like some kind of insects, and they seemed to be heavily distorted sea fish, and with his magical vision, Hug saw their slender bodies like fish, and of course, some strange structures extending from them.

It appears that their bodies have deeply bonded with the tentacles of large shrimp crabs or some mollusks.

This reminds him directly of the horror work created by a cartoonist with a bad taste in another time and space.

For these intruders, Xiuge's brow furrowed directly, these deformed monsters boarding the ship were not too difficult to deal with, but their number was really exaggerated, and for those gunboat soldiers who had begun to be forced into the cabin to defend, these fragmentary intruders would cause great trouble.

At this moment, a violent tremor came from the metal disc, and the court hound, which had been lying in the thick shadow, suddenly took the initiative to convey a distinct emotion to his master.

"What, you're finally interested?"

Shuge whispered in the spirit world, and he received an immediate and unequivocal reply—a hoarse roar of desire to kill and hunt.

He immediately rolled down from his seat, a dark purple light flashed in his palm, and the Hound Fangs appeared.

Shooting at a target at such a distance with a "pistol" is a bit absurd.

However, as Shug pulled the trigger of the strange pistol, a terrifying roar of horror immediately sounded on the deck of the Windless, and the nearby soldiers and mages shivered at the roar.

The roar clearly possessed some terrifying power, and it could easily evoke the most primal fears in people's hearts—in this moment, they felt as if they were being dragged back to a distant time of instability, unarmed and sheltered, chased by ruthless hunters in the dark woodlands.

The terrifying impact of the Hound Fang's made Shoge's arm tingle, and he saw a very vivid dark purple light tear through the night, and rushed like a huge arrow towards the gunboat in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, the impact was already happening.

The barrel of a crystalline cannon was unfortunately rubbed by the dark purple light, and the sturdy barrel exploded on the spot, and the solid metal structure and magic crystals installed on its surface evaporated on the spot.

And next to this crystallized cannon, a mass of sarcoma that was pouring deformed fish into the deck of the gunboat suddenly exploded, but this time, no flesh fell down, and the thick abyss mist was like a giant mouth that could devour everything, and the moment the explosion occurred, it swept away those existences that might bring hidden dangers.

The raging mist seemed to become a gateway connecting reality and the abyss, and in the next moment, a huge chelicerae glittering with a dangerous luster violently broke the crack, and a huge hound's head with narrow and scarlet eyes poked out from it, and in the slightly open hideous mouth, the forked tentacles and long tongue were slightly curled.

After successfully devouring and digesting the Abyssal Spider, the Hound finally found a new hunting ground that would interest him enough.

It can't hold it anymore.
