After saying that, Roddy activated "Sprint" and dashed to the captain's cabin, followed closely by Merlinsera. Sylvia was stunned for a moment. As a Mage, she knew that she was also a combatant. She looked back at Akasha and Naiffy, nodded, and also chased after them.
"What's going on?"
"Enemy attack alert, coming from under the sea."
In the captain's cabin, Houdini looked at the magic circle in front of him with a serious expression. In Roddy's eyes, this magic circle was a "radar", but he could not judge the symbols and colors displayed on it. Houdini knew that it was necessary to explain at this time, so he said, "The magic circle detected an unknown object approaching, number one, over ten meters long …"
"How far is it?"
"Less than 500 meters, approaching quickly!"
Houdini realized that something was wrong. There were many creatures under the sea, but he had never heard of anything that would rush out of the deep sea and head straight for the ship. He made a prompt decision and immediately activated the ship's defense measures. At the same time, he activated all the floating space towers!
For a moment, the magic circle buzzed all over the ship. Roddy knew that he could not be of much help in the captain's cabin, so he ran to a room not far away to grab a weapon, a quiver of arrows, and went to the deck with Merlinsera.
As soon as the two saw the sunlight outside, they felt the ship's shield shake violently, and a large splash of white water suddenly splashed on the surface of the sea.
"The shield is not broken, the thing is over there!"
Merlinsera determined the enemy's position from the elemental vibration of the shield. Holding her wand, she ran to the port side, only to see that the floating space towers around suddenly turned in unison, and the multiple ballistae on the towers aimed at the black shadow that had just appeared on the surface of the sea, and a round of volleys was fired!
Half of the metal ballistae that were as thick as a fist missed, but the other half hit the target. These ballistae were extremely powerful and had an explosive effect, creating a large shock wave on the spot. However, during this round of attack, Roddy heard a sound that sounded like metal colliding. With his "Environmental Acuity" activated, his eyesight was excellent, and he saw blood splattering in the midst of the chaotic splashes, dyeing a large area of the sea red. The huge creature that was ten meters long did not retreat, but instead turned around and rammed into the ship's shield, and with a bang, it was bounced off again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
The accuracy of the second volley was much higher. The monster's body that was exposed on the surface of the sea was immediately blown up, and its speed immediately slowed down. But even so, it was still as if it was possessed, constantly turning its body and stirring up waves, hitting the shield again and again. However, after the third and fourth round of attacks, the monster, which was almost like a hedgehog, finally stopped attacking the flagship. Instead, it flipped over on the spot and died …
It was obviously not the first time that the Boradini had encountered such a situation. After the battle, the floating space tower approached the monster's corpse, took off the hook, and dragged it for a few nautical miles before slowing down. The mages went to the deck to cast a spell and dragged the monster out of the sea. After plucking out the four-meter-long crossbow bolts, the corpse was placed on the deck of the flagship.
Luo Di, Merlinsera, and Sylvia, who was standing behind them, didn't do anything. As individuals, they were indeed powerless in the face of such a huge creature. Roddy imagined that if he were to pass by this place in a small transport ship, he would probably be sunk by this monster without any resistance.
Only a capital ship like the Boradini, which had a large displacement and was fully armed, could easily kill this kind of monster. Although this battle looked easy, it really showed the current strength of the Lacheman Kingdom in sea battles. It was said that it would take a lot of money to build a "century-old navy" …
However, looking at this bloody monster, Roddy had a strange expression on his face. He smelled something familiar from the fishy smell in the air …
The huge fish was thrown on the deck with its body full of crossbow bolts. After the sailors fixed it, they began to cut open the surface of the body. Three or four people had to work together to pull out the huge bolts that were left in the monster's body after the arrowhead exploded. When Houdini rushed over with the Battle Mages on the ship, his expression was no longer as grim as before.
After all, this was the first time the Boradini had been displayed in front of Roddy. Lacheman's navigation skills were obviously on point, and Roddy had to give it a thumbs up. However, he was more interested in the huge fish in front of him. "What is this? Does it attack ships often? "
Houdini's mind was full of question marks. When the fleet from Lacheman to Kallon, no one was so blind. Creatures at the bottom of the sea wouldn't attack a ship that was so much bigger than itself for no reason. Therefore, he approached and carefully examined it for a long time. He touched it here and there, and even used magic to examine it. After a while, he said hesitantly, "Logically speaking … this is an Ayrshire shark."
Seeing that the alarm was lifted, Naifei and Sylvia also gathered around and looked curiously. Neither of them had been to the sea before, so they couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the ten-meter long Ayrshire shark. Now that they heard Houdini's explanation, Naifei said excitedly, "Is this a big shark? Brother Roddy said sharks are very fierce. No wonder they even hit ships! "
"Err … In fact, Ayrshire sharks are very gentle. They shouldn't be so aggressive." Houdini told Roddy his doubts. "Logically speaking, they usually move in the deep sea and rarely come close to the surface. I know about this thing because I wrote a thesis on Divination and deep-sea positioning more than ten years ago. At that time, Ayrshire was a very typical deep-sea shark. Lacheman had a department in charge of fish research, and there was a lot of information about it, and even specimens."
Roddy's understanding of marine fishes was limited to various kinds of popular science books. As for the marine creatures in this world, he basically had no knowledge of them. Because he had been active inland, no one had looked at the sea, so he could only rely on Houdini's judgment.
However, looking at the shark covered with bones, he felt that it was somewhat familiar. After getting closer, he reached out and knocked on it. Then, Roddy asked, "So this kind of creature usually won't take the initiative to attack others? Then what did it grow these bone armors for? "
