"Gunner Captain, throw the alchemy bombs again!" Gör's reaction was faster than Elvin's. The moment he sensed that something was wrong, he realized that the sea monster was still at the bottom of the ship.
"Bombardier, aim …"
Before the gunner captain could finish his order, the ship's hull shook violently.
Without waiting for the marines on the ship to react, the seawater violently churned. Countless deep blue sticky tentacles had already climbed up the deck from both sides of the seawater. A thick fishy smell spread out along with the tentacles, causing people to feel nauseous.
It was like the tentacles of the devil in the deep sea, wanting to drag the entire ship to the bottom of the sea. In the monster disaster movies in Elvin's previous life, if the crew on the ship did not scream and run around, it would be a waste of the production company's burning budget.
But here, it was a little unfair to the audience.
"Steady, stay at your posts!"
Other than the newbies who had just boarded the ship, no one panicked. Although the veterans were also a little nervous, they restrained the newbies and made everyone hold their posts firmly, waiting for the orders of their commanding officer.
Creak … Creak …
In a short period of time, the sea monster and the warship were entangled. It kept tightening its tentacles to firmly fix itself to the Silver Wing.
At this point, the sea monster could no longer be dealt with with alchemy bombs. Otherwise, the only result would be a "boom", and the warship and the sea monster would be blown into the sky together.
"Boatswain, lead your assault team to cut off the tentacles and stop it from wreaking havoc!"
Gör knew that for a small sea monster, it did not have the extraordinary strength to drag the Silver Wing, a Level Five warship, to the bottom of the sea. The only thing to worry about was that it would destroy the sails and rudder, causing the warship to lose its ability to move.
If it were to fall into such a situation, it would only be at the mercy of the sea monster. Even an official Knight level expert would have a worrying end.
Facing the tidal wave of tentacles on the deck, for the sailors, the real time to engage in close combat had finally arrived. Although this was a battle method that was more beneficial to their advantage in numbers, the power of the sea monster was clearly not something an ordinary sailor could contend against.
"Sea monster, scram back to the bottom of the sea!"
"Ah —!"
"Go to hell —!!"
As soon as the battle began, in just a few breaths, a few sailors had been carelessly dragged into the water by the tentacles. Then, there was blood floating in the sea. It was clearly a disaster.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The muskets in the hands of the marines unceasingly opened fire, but could only cause it to retract its tentacles in pain. Lead bullets weren't very effective against this creature whose body was covered in mucus and had tough skin.
Fortunately.
The alchemy bombs thrown down earlier were not completely useless. Many of the tentacles that climbed up were damaged, and even one of the two thickest tentacles was broken. The body that had not yet shown up should not be unharmed.
Elvin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the difficult battle on the deck. Although the previous battle between the ship's cannons and the sea monster was thrilling, he could only watch from the side, unable to do anything.
To be honest, this feeling of not being able to affect the situation of the battle and only being able to go with the flow was not good at all!
Hence, when Gör gave the order to attack freely, Elvin dashed forward like an arrow. The long sword in his hand was like a bolt of silver lightning, fighting against a tentacle that was as thick as an adult's waist.
Until now, he had not seen what the sea monster's body looked like, but even though this tentacle was as thick as an adult's waist, it could only be considered average amongst the twenty or so tentacles that climbed up.
After a few moves, Elvin discovered that the sea monster's intelligence was not very high. After the tentacle climbed up to the deck, it only wanted to drag down the sailors who were constantly attacking it, and did not take the initiative to destroy the sails.
Moreover, the tentacle's flailing was just a creature's instinctive reaction, randomly whipping and sweeping. It was far from being as dangerous as fighting with humans.
Even if its strength far exceeded that of a novice Knight or even an official Knight, Elvin felt that it was still within the scope of his ability to deal with it. He looked for an opportunity to ignore the tentacle's flailing and whipping, and found its roots at the edge of the deck.
"Ha — —! Chop — —!!! "
Holding his sword high above his head with both hands, he used the most powerful move of the "Military Swordsmanship", "Jumping Chop", and directly chopped off half of the tentacle.
Taking advantage of the moment when it was stiff from the pain, he quickly leaped up and used another "Jumping Chop" to completely chop off the tentacle.
Sssss — —
Blue blood spurted out, splattering a large part of the deck.
At the same time, Elvin saw a small team of ten cooperating with each other. At the cost of losing a comrade, they also managed to chop off a slightly smaller tentacle.
The marines clearly realized that as long as they could chop off the sea monster's tentacles one by one, even if they could not kill its main body, it would be powerless to continue tangling with them.
Only by allowing the Silver Wing to regain its ability to sail could they regain their initiative.
Therefore, everyone on the ship was fighting with their lives on the line!
After chopping off one of the tentacles, Elvin did not care about the stench of blood on his body. He quickly ran towards the other tentacle, freeing a few ordinary sailors who were struggling to hold on, and had them join the assault team.
Duo — —
Duo — —
Blades and axes chopped off tentacles one after another, but the casualties of the sailors slowly increased as their physical strength was depleted.
It was only now that Elvin truly understood how true the saying "sea monsters are the true rulers of the sea" was. Even if it was a half-crippled small species, the sailors would still have to pay a huge price to deal with it, not to mention the legendary large and giant species.
If this continued, although the navy could still repel the sea monster, the losses they would have to pay would not be small. As a crew member of a Fourth-tier battleship, Elvin believed that the seniors who had galloped through the open sea would not be so simple.
The situation was already somewhat critical. Elvin dealt with the gradually frenzied tentacles while scanning the ship, looking for the person who was most likely to change the situation.
"Over there!"
A tall and imposing figure stood at the highest point of the ship's bow. The ship rose and fell with the waves, but only he remained motionless, as if his feet were rooted to the ground.
The moment Elvin cast his gaze over, Gör seemed to have discovered something.
"All sailors pay attention, entangle the sea monster's tentacles and prevent it from escaping!"
After a loud shout, Gör raised a pure steel javelin covered with barbs high up in the air.
"Ha!!! Physical release 50%!!! "
Like a volcano that had been deeply suppressed for thousands of years suddenly erupting, a fierce and violent aura suddenly burst out from Gör's body, causing people to tremble involuntarily. If they did not see Gör's back with their own eyes, they would have thought that an ancient scourge had suddenly descended on the ship.
Gör's right arm that was holding the javelin swelled like a balloon, the muscles under his skin rolling and jumping, and in the blink of an eye, it became thicker than an adult's thigh, filled with a cold and hard golden color.
"Go!"
Whoosh —
The javelin turned into a bolt of lightning and shot into the water, but miraculously, there was no splash at all.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed like nothing had happened, but it also seemed like everything had ended …
But Elvin knew that this shot had definitely succeeded.
Because the moment the javelin entered the water, the tentacles that were still wreaking havoc on the deck stiffened, and then as if all their strength had been sucked out, they softly slid into the water.
The Silver Wing was freed, and with the help of the sails, it started to move again.
"Victory!"
"Ahhh! Long live the captain! "
"The sea monster is done for! Hahaha! "
The next moment, countless cheers drowned the entire battleship.
Gör, who was standing at the bow of the ship, did not move. His right arm had already returned to its original state, and he was holding another pure steel javelin in his hand. His sharp eyes were staring at the surface of the sea, and he did not relax at all.
A few minutes later, a huge black shadow slowly floated to the surface of the water, bobbing up and down with the waves. Only then did Gör let out a sigh of relief. He called First Mate Perry and asked him to bring some people to deal with the sea monster's corpse.
Elvin saw everything with his eyes.
Uncle Gör did not make a move at the beginning. Instead, he observed the situation of the battle between the sailors and the tentacles. Through the feedback speed of the tentacles, he used his rich experience to determine the location of the sea monster's main body, and finally released his strength to deliver an earth-shattering fatal blow, sealing the victory!
While he was secretly cheering, he was also amazed by the power of a peak-level Knight.
After embarking on the path of a Knight, other than Grandpa Leo, who was already severely injured, this was the first time he had seen a peak-level Knight attack with all his strength.
It was like a hero that walked out of ancient myths, powerful and mysterious with the majesty to turn the tide. Elvin's desire for the power of a Knight grew.
"This power, soon …!"
