Tenedos Island
Prince Ephobus, Prince Troilus, and Kliman couldn't care less about their differences. They all took out their weapons and aimed at the dark sea.
"Damn it, when did these harpies grow a brain?" Kliman knew that when the harpies saw that everyone had escaped to Tenedos Island, they adopted the tactic of attacking one by one. Every day, they would catch a few people and eat them. This not only weakened everyone's strength, but also led to differences.
When they were weakened to a certain extent, even resistance would be useless.
This was why Kliman insisted on fighting together. But to Prince Ephobus and Troilus, it was not a pity that these sailors, slaves, and merchants died. As long as the king sent reinforcements, they could live.
How could merchants and slaves be compared to the noble princes?
But at this time, although there were differences, they were united against the enemy. The sky was dark, and a storm was approaching. The wind was driving away the dark clouds, and from time to time, a twinkling star could be seen. In front of everyone's eyes, there was an endless, gloomy, and frightening sea. The turbid waves were turbulent, but they couldn't see anything further. Fear made them try their best to open their eyes and listen, wanting to know if the harpies were coming.
"I think I hear the sound of fighting?" After waiting for a long time, no harpies came over. Prince Troilos shuddered as the wind blew against him.
Boom! At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the turbulent sea. With the help of the lightning, everyone saw that there were three ships less than a nautical mile away.
"They are fighting!"
The people on the shore saw a man standing on the deck of one of the ships. He drew his bow and nocked an arrow. He shot an arrow at the approaching harpies, and the arrow disappeared into the darkness.
With a soft "poof", a harpy fell from the sky into the sea, and was quickly drowned by the rolling waves.
"Pu!" Another harpy fell to the ground. The people on the deck shot a few arrows, and with each arrow, a harpy was hit and fell to the ground.
With the continuous lightning, the people on the shore were dazzled. Kliman said, "This is the archery skills of Apollo."
There were many harpies, and Pei Zi Yun's arrows only killed a few. More harpies swooped down and pounced on the people on the ship.
"In the name of God, kill!" Pei Zi Yun raised his sword and lightly touched it to his forehead. As he spoke, he dashed forward. A harpy with the body of a female demon landed on the ground. With a 'pu' sound, a red line appeared on its body, and it was split into two halves.
"Kill!" Stimulated by this, the soldiers on the ship rushed forward. These soldiers had already applied the secret medicine on each other before the battle. At this moment, their bodies emitted a strange fragrance, and a cold light flashed in their bloodthirsty eyes.
The harpy's sharp claws swiped at the soldier's face. One of the soldier's movements were quick and nimble, dodging the attack in a flash. He jumped up and slashed at the harpy's body.
A blood-curdling scream rang out as the demoness fell to the ground. Following that, two soldiers thrust their swords towards the demoness. "Pu pu" sounds could be heard as the bronze swords pierced through the demoness' body.
But then, a soldier pulled out his sword, and a claw landed on his cheek. The soldier screamed, covered his eyes, and fell down into the waves.
The battle was intense. In just a few moments, corpses were lying everywhere. One of the harpies on the deck saw that the situation was not good, and suddenly screamed.
Following this scream, a huge object rushed towards them from the surface of the water. The wind and waves it stirred up gathered into a whistling sound, forming a straight line in the direction of the battleship.
As the battle continued, the battleship was nearing Tenedos Island. Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire surface of the sea.
At this point, the people on the shore could see clearly without the need for lightning. Prince Troilos saw the person standing on the deck, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's Paris. Father must have sent Paris to rescue us."
"I didn't expect Prince Paris to be so brave."
"His soldiers are all brave as well."
The merchant Kliman saw everything clearly. He looked at Ephobus and thought to himself, "They're both princes, but the difference is too great."
Ephobus felt Kliman's gaze on him, and was filled with hatred.
"Damn it, how dare you look at me with such contempt." Ephobus was filled with anger, and his hand was already on the hilt of his sword.
"Die!" Pei Zi Yun slashed down another harpy. With a flash, he avoided a large pool of blood. A soldier was drenched, but he didn't care. He shouted and stabbed with his spear.
"Why isn't there any reaction?" Pei Zi Yun's heart sank. According to the records of the Gods, they were the children of the Sea Lady Eraga and the Sea God Taurus. They were the descendants of the gods. They were also the daughters of the monster Typhon and the snake woman Makena. No matter what, they should have an extraordinary bloodline. Why was there no reaction from the system?
"I've killed all the demons and kept them in my storage space. Could it be that after so many generations, their bloodline has thinned, and they no longer have an extraordinary bloodline? "
Just as Pei Zi Yun was thinking about this, there was a loud boom, and the ship shook.
"It's a sea demon, it's a sea demon!"
The sea demon slammed into the ship. Even though it was a large ship, it was still shaking violently. Pei Zi Yun was swaying left and right. Luckily, he managed to grab hold of the ship's string in time, so he didn't get thrown off the ship. The sailors and soldiers weren't so lucky. They screamed and fell.
Then, there was the sound of chewing coming from the water. A flash of lightning lit up the surface of the sea. With the help of the lightning, the sea demon's mouth was wide open, revealing its sharp teeth. Half of a man's body had been bitten off, but he wasn't dead yet. He screamed in pain.
Then, the soldiers didn't panic. A few of them threw their spears down.
"Pu pu!" The spears fell, but they only pierced through the sturdy scales. They couldn't go any deeper, which angered the sea demon, and it slammed into the ship.
"Boom!" The ship shook violently again, and the sound of wooden planks breaking could be heard.
"In this world, even if a normal person has weapons and secret medicine, it's hard to resist." Pei Zi Yun thought. The sea demon in front of him fit the description of the royal family's secret knowledge. Its eyes were red, its muscles were as strong as stone, and its bones were as hard as iron!
"But, according to the records, there's a flaw." Another flash of lightning fell. Pei Zi Yun looked over and saw that when the sea demon slammed into the ship again, a white line had appeared on its belly.
With a splash, Pei Zi Yun grabbed the anchor and dove into the water.
The sailors on the ship saw that Pei Zi Yun had fallen into the water and thought that he had been thrown out by the violent shaking just now. "The prince has fallen into the water, and the master has fallen into the water."
The people on the shore couldn't see clearly. They only saw Prince Paris, who had just killed the harpy with his bow and arrow, fall into the sea. Almost everyone was panicking.
The sea demons were wreaking havoc in the sea. Prince Paris had fallen into the water, and it seemed that he was in danger. It wasn't easy for the king to send people to rescue him, but he had died in the belly of the sea demon before they even met. The hearts of these people sank.
Only Prince Ephobus, although he knew that he shouldn't have, couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
Paris had died in the sea, and the humiliation that Ephobus had suffered previously could be considered avenged. Most importantly, there would no longer be anyone who could threaten the position of the second prince.
Pei Zi Yun dove into the sea, drew a half circle with the anchor in his hand, and hit it heavily.
"Boom!" The moment the bronze anchor hit, there was even the sound of metal and stone colliding. Then, there was the first real scream of the sea demon.
The people on the ship saw that the bronze anchor had been broken in two, and the sea demon's head was a bloody mess. This was a great victory, but Prince Paris didn't retreat. He dove like a fish, and went close to the belly of the sea demon.
"Wind and Thunder Cut!" Although this world wasn't the Great Xu Dynasty, and there was no wind and thunder, the bronze sword still had a crescent sword. In an instant, a huge wound was torn open, and a thick mist of blood sprayed out.
"Arghhh —" A painful scream rang through the sea. The pained sea demon attacked angrily, and a dent appeared on the ship. A few people around it flew out. In the next flash of lightning, they saw a head with a look of despair, and an arm reaching towards the sky. Then, everything was swallowed up by the darkness.
But no one cared about those few pitiful people. Everyone was staring at the sea demon. The sea demon let out another loud scream, and the sea churned violently. Soon, the blood dyed the entire area red.
After a while, the churning sea gradually calmed down. The huge body of the sea demon floated on the surface, motionless. It was obviously dead.
"Yay!" Cheers came from both the ship and the shore. Seeing that the situation wasn't right, the remaining harpies lost their will to fight, and left.
At this point, the boat was already quite close to Tenedos Island. Strangely enough, Pei Zi Yun floated out of the water and stepped onto the soft sand of the beach as he stepped onto Tenedos Island. Coincidentally, the sky was clear after the rain, and the sun was rising from the east. A ray of sunlight shone down on Pei Zi Yun, making him look like a deity.
Almost everyone on the island had seen Prince Paris slay the sea demons and escape from disaster. They all felt a sense of awe and respect for him. Some people even knelt on the ground and said, "Great Prince Paris, you are as brave as the rising sun. The gods will protect you."
The merchant Kliman also came forward and knelt in front of Pei Zi Yun. "Prince Paris, thank you for your rescue. I will give you half of the goods. May the gods protect you."
Pei Zi Yun was panting heavily. He had used up all his energy in the fight just now. Hearing someone say that, he did not reject. In this era, it was natural for rescuers to donate half of their goods. This was also one of the main reasons why he went out to sea to kill the Sea Demons. It could help him solve his pressing financial situation.
Pei Zi Yun nodded and said, "The sea demon has been killed, and the harpies have retreated. Now, help me drag the sea demon's body up. I believe its skin will be very good."
As he said this, Pei Zi Yun looked at Ephobus and Troilus and said, "My two brothers, father is very worried about your safety. This time, he asked me to bring you home."
Ephobus snorted coldly and turned his head to the side, ignoring Pei Zi Yun's good intentions.
Troilus replied, "Brother Paris, thank you very much for your help. If you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid we would have been in great trouble."
Pei Zi Yun smiled and didn't say anything. He threw away the remaining half of the sword.
Bronze swords were like this. After a battle, they would be damaged. It was just that the damage was more serious.
