Time passed quickly, and the sun was already setting in the west. During this period, except for the occasional fish jumping up, there was no other movement on the sea.
After finishing the last honey roasted chicken leg he brought, Allen gradually lost his patience. Belia even took a rest in the carriage. More than four hours had passed since she arrived here at noon.
The rumored siren still hasn't appeared.
Impatient, Allen decided to return, and he had doubts about whether there were sea monsters in this sea area. He decided that it would be safer to go to the waters near the fishing area to catch sea monsters next time.
Just as Allen was about to give the order to return, as soon as he stood up, there was sudden movement on the sea.
"Lord Baron! Look!" A guard suddenly pointed at the sea and shouted excitedly.
After Allen heard it, his eyes looked in the direction.
Sure enough, there was movement near the second ship on the left on the sea, and some unknown objects were swimming beside the ship. Unfortunately, it was too far away to see clearly, and only a rough outline could be seen.
Those objects swam on the sea, following the wooden boat for a few turns, and then suddenly began to destroy. As a wave of waves flashed by, in just a few minutes, what Allen and others had just seen was a wooden boat as big as a washbasin.
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared before our eyes, and several objects that were floating on the water just a moment ago also sank to the bottom of the sea and never appeared again.
Allen didn't know what those were, but based on the vague appearance, it was unlikely that they were fish. Thinking about his target this time, Allen guessed that it was most likely a sea monster.
"Lord Baron! There's a response!" The soldiers squatting beside the boulder suddenly shouted.
At this time, the boulder with the iron rope tied to it was slowly moving towards the sea. If the soldiers hadn't held it down, the boulder would have been dragged into the sea.
"Bud! Hurry! Help!" After Allen found out, he quickly asked Bud to help.
Bud quickly ran over and held the boulder firmly.
After receiving Bard's help, several soldiers felt a little more relaxed.
Allen stood aside and ordered the soldiers to start pulling the iron rope toward the shore.
The power of the Kraken in the water is so huge that several warriors together can barely resist it. Only with Bard joining in can the iron rope shrink towards the shore in an orderly manner.
The iron rope that sank into the sea was pulled straight at this time, making bursts of "squeaking" sounds. You don't need to think about it to know that the sea monster in the sea is trying hard to break away from the iron hook. Unfortunately, Allen's specially made fishhook only
It can be described as extremely cruel. Once it is hung, there is basically no way to break free except for pulling out the flesh with a hook.
Under the pull of Bard and several soldiers, the iron rope was shortened and shortened, and when it was only about 20 meters long, the outline of the sea monster under the water was revealed again.
The shallow water on the shore could no longer hide the outline of the sea monster, and the sea monster started fighting directly from the sea.
With a fish face and a human body, this was the first impression that Siren gave Allen. The flat head resembled a fish head, and the two scarlet eyes stared straight. The body was similar to that of a human, with a long row of hair on the back.
It has light red fins, its body is covered with blue-black scales, and its hands are five long sharp claws with webbed flesh directly on them, which is very weird.
At this time, the sea monster had an iron rope hanging from its mouth, and the iron hook had penetrated its mouth, and it made a piercing cry.
After seeing Allen and others on the shore, he screamed, opened his scarlet eyes, and rushed towards this side through the sea water.
"defense!"
When the soldiers saw it, they all drew their swords from their waists and maintained a defensive posture.
Unfortunately, the speed of the Kraken was only average. As soon as it rushed near Allen, Bard, who had been waiting for a long time, slapped him on the left side of the head with a big sword. There was a sound of shaking iron ropes and a strange scream.
The sea monster was knocked straight away from the attack, and fell heavily into the shallow sea water, causing a large splash. At this time, the scales on the head of the sea monster lying on the water had been cracked, and water was flowing out from it.
There was blood, and his skull was probably cracked. His body no longer moved, and he could only make soft screams from time to time.
Allen helplessly discovered that Bard must have used all his strength just now. Seeing that the Kraken was on the verge of death, he no longer hesitated and directed several soldiers to carry the Kraken to the beach and began to observe it carefully.
At this time, only the eyes of the sea monster could move. Allen noticed that when the sea monster's eyes were opened, they were protected by a transparent film, which allowed the sea monster to open its eyes and see things underwater.
In addition to the webbing on the claws of its two forelimbs, its feet also have the same webbing, which allows the Kraken to move quickly under the sea surface.
Allen also noticed that the sea monster had a tail that was connected to the dorsal fin, and the tail had fins extending from the back.
The Siren's chest and back each have nine hexagonal fish scales the size of a human palm, which are much larger than the oval fish scales on other parts. The oval fish scales on other parts are only about the size of a bull's eye, and
The coins are similar in size.
After seeing the appearance of the sea monster, Allen's curiosity was satisfied, and he basically understood why the development of the human navy was difficult. These sea monsters were wreaking havoc in the sea, and their sharp claws could easily tear open the bottom of a wooden ship, and they were underwater.
The monster's speed is extremely fast and its strength increases dramatically. Humans are no match for the monster.
Unless humans can manufacture iron ships in large quantities, they can compete with the Kraken on the sea. However, it seems that no human country can manufacture iron ships yet.
However, it is not that there are no ships that can resist the invasion of sea monsters. Foreign fleets that trade with fish harvesters all year round can resist the sea monsters because the wooden boats used by these fleets are of the same material as the ordinary wooden boats used by civilians in the river.
There is a huge difference.
The wood used in the manufacture of these wooden boats is extremely precious wood. The hardness of the wood is comparable to steel. Only wooden boats of this level can withstand the attack of the underwater sea monster. However, this kind of boat is also extremely precious.
, not easy to obtain.
For hard wood like this, Allen learned that there are birch trees, iron trees, stone edge trees, etc., which are extremely hard tree species. Knights are basically used to cut down these trees. By using knights to cut down the wood,
You can now realize how precious these ships are.
Allen has never found these special trees in Musen Territory until now, but what is certain is that there must be many in the Black Dragon Mountains that run through half of the continent, and they may even grow in groups.
However, the terrain of the Black Dragon Mountains is complex and there are many monsters that appear there, making them extremely dangerous. It is very difficult to find these trees in the Black Dragon Mountains.
Not long after, the seriously injured Kraken stopped moving. After being checked by the soldiers, it was determined that he was dead.
"Sir! What should I do with this body?" Bud asked.
"Bring him back to Qinghuang Territory!"
"Yes! Lord Baron!" After receiving the reply, Bard immediately ordered two soldiers to lift the body of the sea monster.
