There was heavy fog on the sea surface, visibility was very low, and the speed of the three ships of the Dawn Group also slowed down.
Especially now that it was approaching evening and the temperature began to drop, the fog became thicker and thicker. The visibility gradually became only a few dozen meters, and even the three ships in front and behind could only see hazy shadows of each other.
With this kind of visibility, it is impossible for a sea-going ship to sail. Especially in unfamiliar waters, once it hits a rock or encounters some other special circumstances, the ship will be destroyed immediately and everyone will die.
Fortunately, the Dawn Group had Tani, a navigator who could "listen to the sounds of sea beasts." The fish told him that there were no rocks and shoals in this sea area, so they could move forward unhurriedly toward the depths of the mist.
The moonlight and starlight were obscured by thick fog, and the sea surface was almost pitch black. It was only thanks to the searchlights on the three warships to point out the direction that a corner of the dark sea could be illuminated.
The light-loving marine gods were attracted to swim around the ship, such as the glowing jellyfish and the shining silver fish.
Everyone on the ship was on full alert.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao stayed together.
Because he could read lips, he sealed his ears with red wax.
Although you can't hear it, it doesn't affect communication.
This way, if you are attacked, there will still be one person who can react.
Waiting for the siren to come to the door, the two of them chatted wordlessly.
"I'm afraid this thick fog is also the work of the Kraken. If we don't deal with them, we won't be able to catch up with the Bald Eagle at this speed."
"Yeah. Siren sea monsters like to be active at night. If they sense us, they will probably come to hunt tonight."
"This kind of banshee is afraid of light, and its body is very fragile. Ordinary alchemy bullets can cause fatal damage. But they can destroy the 'Silver Spear Group'. I'm afraid there are 'lord-level' monsters in the group. But the problem is not big, Qian
Sister Tiao, you should be able to kill them with one knife. But if you can, don't chop the neck, so as not to damage their vocal organs. It's best to get a few living ones."
"Okay. Leave it to me."
""
The "Song of the Siren" is said to be very evil in the sea, especially for fishermen. Because it is not easy to detect, the mortality rate is almost 100%.
But the atmosphere in the Liming group is not too solemn.
After all, if you already know what kind of monster it is and find a targeted response method, the degree of danger will be greatly reduced.
As night falls, the sea breeze becomes a little cooler.
Occasionally, the shadow of the moon can be seen in the sky, and the dense fog illuminated by the moon emits a strange white light.
Except for the sound of the waves, everything seemed peaceful.
At midnight, everyone on the ship should have been asleep.
Suddenly, Tani's voice came from the communicator: "Captain, they are here! The jellyfish passing by just now fed back some information. Special sound waves rang from the south, about five nautical miles away from us!"
Jellyfish are one of the marine organisms most sensitive to infrasound waves.
The [Hearing Enhancement] talent in the group hasn't heard the infrasound waves yet, but the jellyfish already know that the monster has come out to prey.
Senjo told Su Lun what she heard, and she sealed her ears with red wax.
At the same time, everyone on the boat took action and performed the same action of sealing their ears.
Su Lun also took out the black umbrella and observed the surroundings of the sea with concentration.
But nothing seemed to happen, and the surroundings were eerily calm.
But gradually, even with his ears plugged, Su Lun still felt faintly sick and sleepy.
He knew that the Kraken was approaching.
Because they had planned their tactics in advance, at this moment, almost everyone on the three ships seemed to be asleep, slumped on the deck and in the cabin.
Everyone held their breath and tried their best to suppress signs of life. It looked like there were a boat full of corpses.
Su Lun also held a black umbrella and leaned against the side of the boat.
Although he couldn't see or hear, suddenly, hundreds of soul fires appeared in his perception!
"Sure enough, it's here!"
Su Lun shouted sharply in his heart.
The thick fog obscured human vision, but it also restricted the siren sea monsters. They did not notice anything unusual and flew out of the thick fog without any precautions. Each monster probably thought they could come for a feast.
After a pause, he landed on the masts of three warships. On the side of the ship, he stared at the "corpse" with a dim light in his eyes.
Su Lun clearly sensed the positions of the sea monsters, and waited until he felt the slight vibrations from their landing on the ship.
He suddenly opened his eyes and fired the flare gun that had been prepared in his hand.
"Boom!"
Bright light bombs exploded in the fog.
Even with their eyes closed, the needle-like bright light woke up everyone on the three battleships!
As soon as everyone opened their eyes, they immediately saw the faces of panicked monsters.
Legend has it that this siren sea monster looks delicate and beautiful.
But the reality is that it looks like a hammer!
Each one has a bird body and a human face, its mouth is full of jagged teeth, they are ugly and ferocious, and their feet have big claws like iron hooks!
Everyone in the Dawn Regiment was not polite at all to these monsters who were preparing to treat them as food, and they all showed off their guns.
For a moment, there was a crackling explosion and a continuous sound of gunfire.
The dark night was completely awakened.
Before these two hundred or two hundred sirens could realize what was happening, they were "bathed" by a hail of alchemical bullets.
Barrett had already arranged detailed encirclement and killing tactics. The crew members were in groups of thirty-five and had clear tasks. They shot all the monsters on the deck from all directions without blind spots.
The trajectory of the bullets weaved into a web of fire in the darkness, giving no chance for the Kraken to escape.
The sea monsters that landed on the deck flapped their wings in panic and tried to take off, but before they could take off, they were killed and fell into a pool of blood.
Even those elite monsters who want to use the cover of the ship's hull to stick to the sea surface and fly low back into the fog have dedicated snipers to take care of them.
As Su Lun expected, there was a fifth-level "lord" and several silver- and gold-level monsters in this group of sea monsters.
The bird bodies of those sea monsters can obviously resist too much. Even if the alchemy bullets hit their bodies and their feathers fly everywhere, they can still stagger and still fly.
But there is no shortage of masters in the Liming Group, so how can we allow those monsters to escape when they come?
After a round of artillery fire, thousands of professionals with the ability to leap into the air also drew their weapons and jumped into the air to catch up.
Su Lun was not polite, he twisted the black sickle and slashed several times, and several monsters fell into the sea.
Because of preparations in advance, although the battle was fierce, it was over within a few minutes.
After Senjou and the others chased him out, the other crew members began to clean up the battlefield.
Except for a few slightly injured ones who were knocked unconscious and used as research samples, the others were killed to collect materials.
This Siren Siren doesn't have many valuable materials on it. Except for the Puppet Master, other professions really can't use it.
Not long after, Senjou and the others also came back, bringing back the lord-level Siren Siren.
Karma helped Suellen remove the vocal organ from the Siren's corpse, and the other crew members began to clean the blood stains on the deck.
After the group of sea monsters were killed, the fog on the sea surface became visible to the naked eye.
The night became calm again.
The speed of the battleship also increased
On the deck, some of the crew members were left to deal with the battlefield, while others took turns to rest.
Everyone has entered into a normal sailing routine.
In the laboratory.
Su Lun is busy processing those fresh living organs.
This [Siren Siren's Singing Voice] is a very precious material. He has asked about it in the material markets in various places before, and only heard that there are occasionally a few ancient specimens in the collection rooms of some nobles. It is impossible to buy it outside, and it is impossible to buy it outside.
No one bought it.
But it is not easy to handle this kind of biological organ. It requires sufficient experience.
On the side, Karma was also helping to deal with the bloody Kraken organs.
She cleaned and arranged the materials and put them into a glass jar filled with green liquid.
While dealing with it, I asked if I didn’t understand something.
"Teacher, why don't we use 'Strong Silver Solution' to treat materials, but 'Hippolytus Solution'?"
"Well, the antiseptic effect of 'Strong Silver Solution' is indeed excellent. But what we are dealing with now are biological organs that are still active. If we want to ensure the original efficacy of the organs and extend their use time as much as possible, we must not only consider antisepsis, but also
Consider maintaining the active characteristics as much as possible. In this way, the puppets produced will have a longer service life and better effects."
"Oh. Teacher, how can this kind of biological material be used on puppets?"
"Then you need to engrave special life runes on the puppet."
""
Su Lun had an eight-armed spider spear and didn't need any assistants originally.
But now that he has two new disciples, he has given enough patience to teach.
And Kama seems to cherish this opportunity very much. She is diligent, focused, and hardworking. She feels that she has all the qualities to become an excellent alchemist.
Given time, Su Lun also felt that she would be a very powerful puppet master.
As for Aberke, who is trapped in the [Puppet Core], he is even more talented.
[B-060-Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart] Talent is born to be a puppet master. Before, he just lacked teaching and systematic knowledge. Now with learning methods, he is like a sponge, able to perfectly absorb all the knowledge taught by Su Lun.
, and can often come up with some wonderful and unconstrained ideas.
Su Lun is also happy to carve this piece of jade
Passing through the waters infested by the Sirens, the Dawn Group's speed was much faster. At noon the next day, Dr. Banks had determined that the biological markers were at a very close distance.
Everyone in the Dawn Regiment has entered a state of combat readiness again.
But what Su Lun and the others didn't know was that somewhere on the sea, a mysterious and sacrificial operation had begun.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and there were several ships moored on the sea. They were the "Pulsatilla" and several pirate ships.
The people on the boat had no idea that someone was already chasing them.
On one of the ships, several mysterious men wearing cloaks were chanting some strange spells to the sea. The voice was low and penetrating, penetrating the water and reaching the end of the deep seabed.
If there were any outsiders here, they would definitely be able to see the beautiful women with blond hair and blue eyes under these cloaks, and they all have an aura of purity and saintliness about them.
These are the priestesses of the Temple of Agapathenon.
They held clay pots in their hands. One pot poured some luminous spirits into the sea water, another pot poured scarlet liquid, another pot poured silver powder, and another pot poured golden wheat ears.
These are very precious top-grade materials, but they poured them into the sea water without any regrets.
The sacrifice was carried out in an orderly manner.
On another inconspicuous boat, a charming woman with a sexy and hot figure, even wearing a large cloak, was lazily looking at everything in front of her.
This person is none other than Skadi Harris, the thirteenth princess of the Marfa Empire, "Princess Frost Moon".
No one would have thought that she came here quietly on the ship without any royal mechanical guards.
At this moment, there were several people dressed as guards standing beside her.
Looking at it, Princess Stika suddenly said: "The high priest Helvier has prophesied that this sacrifice may encounter some unexpected situations. Tell us to be careful. Everyone, where do you think the problem will arise?
?”
Her expression was charming, but her eyes shone with wisdom.
It's not like what others have said, this is a princess who only relies on her appearance.
Her wisdom is also unparalleled by few.
After hearing this, an aide on the side replied: "The secret spies sent by the Luying royal family, Grand Duke Raphael, and Grand Duke Lance should all have been destroyed by the Siren Sea Monster and the 'North Sea Monster' at this moment.
But the masters like Van Gogh are still restrained in the city. There are no forces that can threaten us in Beihai. I think there will be no problem."
Princess Stika also seemed to think it was reasonable, but the doubt in her eyebrows did not dissipate. She said: "The prophecy ability of the high priests of the Agapanaon Temple has always been accurate. You can't be careless."
The man added: "Your Highness, I have no intention of questioning your judgment. But the high priest of the temple succumbed to Oleg's power and power, and the majesty of the temple has long been reduced. Besides, you should have seen it.
Well, that woman’s faith no longer exists. Intelligence shows that she dotes on her son Onis Popov very much. With a selfish prophet, her ability will be greatly reduced.”
Princess Stika didn't say anything as she listened to Xiumei's remarks, but she obviously recognized her subordinate's words.
But thinking about it, she frowned again and changed the topic: "What do you think happened when there was turmoil in the Molossian city-state? Who do you think stole the Agapanaon?
[Golden Divine Spear]?”
"this"
Hearing this, several subordinates looked at each other, and no one could tell the reason.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Princess Stika said: "Obviously, there is a 'mysterious force' that our intelligence system has not grasped is active in Roman. My father once taught me that when facing any enemy, you must not
Take it lightly."
"What your Highness said is true."
After saying this, the subordinate lowered his head and did not speak again.
But at this moment, an untimely voice rang out, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about any threats."
It was a guy with scars on his face and sharp eyes like an eagle's eyes.
He said in a lazy tone: "Since I have been hired by your Marfa, I will definitely keep His Highness safe. In the North Sea, except for Oleg and the two deputy captains of the North Sea Fleet, no one can make me feel
There is a threat.”
Oleg and Marfa are now allies, and he is now in the employ of the Frost Moon Princess.
This means that there are no enemies in the huge North Sea.
This is very crazy and extremely conceited.
But when the people on the boat listened, no one showed even a trace of doubt on their expressions.
Because this person has a great background.
He is the "King of Thieves" Carlo Merdis, one of the "Top Ten Legendary Bounty Hunters"!
Hearing this man's statement, the arrogance in Mr. Stica's tone also restrained a lot. It was a sign of respect for the strong. "This trip will naturally require Mr. Meldisto to worry about."
Her delicate white fingers tapped on the side of the ship, making a rhythmic tapping sound.
After chatting for a while, Stika suddenly thought of something, and then smiled and asked casually: "Last time, I heard that Mr. Meldis encountered a little trouble in the Silent Forest, so where did Mr. Mirror come from? road?"
Her tone sounded like a joke, but it didn't make anyone feel disgusted at all.
Hearing this, a flash of embarrassment flashed across the cloaked man's face, as if he recalled some bad memories.
But a professional at his level would not shy away from the topic of defeat. He just responded with a solemn look: "That woman is very strong! She is a high-level vampire, so she should not be one of those demi-humans. Later I also investigated , it seems that no force is related to it now, it’s like it appeared out of thin air.”
Princess Stika said: "I agree with what Oleg said. The woman seemed to come from Archduke Raphael's mine. But at that time, she was not that strong. At least, she was far from being able to hurt Merdis. Sir. Later, there was news that she was closely related to "Blood Count" Antonio Harris and may be a blood ancestor who had been dormant for a long time."
The cloaked man fell into silence, and he asked: "Your Highness suspects her?"
Princess Stika shook her head and said: "No. There is intelligence that the major forces in Lu Ying are now paying attention to the 'Mr. Mirror'. She cannot be in Beihai now. I just asked casually."
The man in the cloak said: "When the temple priests contact the person in the 'Hai Ruins' and offer sacrifices, then Your Highness, Princess, will get that thing, and we will go directly to the Void Ruins."
Princess Stika said: "That's the best."
But at this time, very suddenly, the man on the watchtower on the mast noticed something and shouted.
"Attention everyone, at ten o'clock we found three ships of unknown origin! They didn't hoist their flags, they seem to be coming towards us!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, not only Princess Stika and the cloaked man, but also everyone was surprised.
This is not the route to Alcatraz Island, so appearing here must be for them.
Someone would actually chase you here?
Those sea monsters didn't kill them?
These three ships are naturally the three battleships of the Dawn Regiment!
Princess Stika's people discovered the Dawn Regiment's ship, and Suellen and the others naturally discovered them too.
"Everyone ready to fight!"
"The artillery is calibrated and ready to fire when ordered!"
""
Barrett issued a battle preparation order over the communicator.
There is no verbosity and no need to confirm anything at all.
The "Balad Eagle" and several ships appeared here and fired them with one shot. No innocents would be accidentally injured.
In the sky, the death bird was hovering there, and Su Lun had already had a panoramic view of the movements of those ships.
Seeing the priestly behavior of the cloaked men on the deck, Su Lun was even more certain that this conspiracy was definitely caused by the people from the Temple of Agapanaon.
The behavior of those priests looked very evil.
No matter who is on the other side's ship, fight first and then talk!
Moreover, the Dawn Regiment also has a huge advantage, that is, the range of the artillery is much farther than that of the opponent!
In order to hide their identity, those guys found a few ordinary pirate ships when they set sail. Although I don't know why they sailed so fast before, the ship-borne artillery and other things were very ordinary, just regular market goods.
The artillery on the three ships of the Dawn Regiment are confiscated Marfa military artillery. This is a hard product that cannot be bought on the market!
The maximum range is several times that of the market products!
This means that they can hit each other now, but the other party can't hit them at all.
Therefore, as soon as he got close to the shooting range, Barrett immediately ordered: "Fire!"
Nearly a hundred artillery pieces fired in volleys, and the sound was extremely exaggerated.
In the distance, Princess Stika and her group on the Bald Eagle were stunned.
They watched the cannonballs coming from the sky. They were shocked and stunned, but at the same time they felt that they could not die.
What kind of hatred or grievance is this, and a volley of artillery fire will be fired as soon as it comes?
