Chapter 258 Naval Battle (Part [-])

This is a huge sea monster that looks similar to the king squid in the previous life. Judging from the size, the body length of this sea monster is at least fifteen meters long, and its tentacles are about thirty meters long. Each of the suction cups on the giant tentacles is as big as Bigger than a washbasin.

And those huge eyes are much bigger than the millstones in the mill. At this moment, these giant eyes are several meters underwater, staring at the Lighthouse through the blue water.

Richard could easily feel the cruelty, coldness and bloodthirsty in the other person's eyes!

"It's a giant squid!!" Tino, who was on the side, gradually saw clearly the appearance of the sea monster hidden under the water, and immediately shouted.

"Captain Casper, prepare the giant ballistae!"

Tino was worthy of being an experienced wizard on board the ship. He actually immediately identified the type of sea monster and notified the captain immediately so that he could prepare for a targeted battle.

Looking at Tino's anxious expression, Richard couldn't help but asked curiously: "Sir Tino, is this giant squid difficult to deal with?"

"It's difficult to deal with! Sir Richard, although the giant tentacled squid has low intelligence, it is extremely ferocious. Its dozens of tentacles are slippery and tough, and it is hard to be harmed by swords. It is extremely difficult to deal with."

"You just saw that even the Evil Whip Naga is not willing to take the risk of killing it, but just drives it away."

"And the giant squid is extremely vindictive. Once it escapes during an encirclement and suppression, it will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge after its injuries heal." Tino explained quickly.

While the two were talking.

"Grumble!"

The sound of wooden wheels rolling across the deck was heard.

Richard looked sideways and saw four three-meter-long objects covered with black cloth being slowly pushed out of the cabin. When the sailors peeled off the black cloth, the full view of the giant ballista was revealed. It immediately appeared in front of everyone.

The sharp Mitsubishi-cone arrowheads, the size of an adult's head, flashed with a cold light. It was obvious at a glance that these ballistas had been well maintained on a daily basis.

It must be wiped with animal fat frequently and wrapped in oilcloth every day.

Otherwise, it would have rusted long ago in the humid sea air!

Each crossbow was surrounded by four strong men. They were loading huge three-meter-long crossbow arrows. This kind of crossbow arrows was different from those that Richard had seen before. In addition to the sharp arrows, the crossbow arrows also had steel arrows. There are many fine iron curved hooks similar to fishing hooks on both sides of the pole.

In addition, there is a long rope at the end of the crossbow.

Obviously, the hooks on both sides of the crossbow are to increase the lethality and dragging power.

Once it hits the body of an organism, it can be like a fishhook, hooking the opponent tightly.

At this time, Captain Caspe stood on the side of the ship holding a machete and shouted: "The target is currently two hundred meters away, crossbow gunners, prepare!"

The effective range of the giant ballista is one hundred meters. The captain's first order was more of a reminder.

The giant ballista was pushed to the side of the ship. The ballista, who was responsible for aiming and shooting, was squatting on the side of the crossbow, staring at the water through the crossbow.

"The target is currently one hundred and fifty meters away!"

As the giant squid approached quickly, the atmosphere on the deck became even more tense!
  "The target is currently one hundred meters away! Launch!!" Captain Caspe slashed forward with the scimitar in his hand and shouted at the same time.

The voice just fell!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The tails of the four crossbow arrows dragged long ropes and struck the huge black shadow under the water like lightning.

"Pfft!!"

Two huge crossbow arrows worked at the same time, directly hitting the giant squid's body, while the other two crossbow arrows missed slightly and did not hit the giant squid under the water.

"Whoa!"

A huge splash of water hit his face. Obviously, the damage from the crossbow arrow just made the giant squid feel both painful and angry.

How dare these "foods" resist!

Just as the sailors quickly loaded the second crossbow, they were preparing to attack again.

Suddenly, large swaths of black juice emerged from the originally blue water. The black juice was like a thick fog, covering a large area at once, making it difficult to find traces of the giant squid!

"The target of the ballista is [-] meters away, fire!!" Captain Casper shouted at the top of his lungs.

Although at this moment, the captain standing on the side of the ship could no longer see the specific location of the giant squid, but with years of experience, Captain Caspe immediately reported a distance he estimated and directed the sailors to shoot!

In this case, this is the best decision!

Regardless of whether the shot is successful or not, the sailors will forget their fear while executing the order!

"Pfft!!"

Multiple extremely sharp crossbow arrows were shot into the sea.

"Oh!"

The entire ship of the Lighthouse suddenly shook violently!
  The sailing speed suddenly dropped significantly, and there was a sound like some kind of drum beating coming from the bottom of the ship!

"Not good! I'm afraid the giant squid has been adsorbed to the bottom of our boat. The sound of the suction cup should have just happened." Tino reacted immediately.

After hearing Tino's words, Captain Casper's expression suddenly changed and he shouted:
  "Everyone in position, harpoon ready!"

"Notify the bilge to close all air holes!"

"Adjust the position of the ballista to face the deck!"

A series of orders came from Captain Casper's mouth.

"Whoa!"

"Ahhh!!"

A huge tentacle, as thick as a person's arms, suddenly appeared on the side of the ship. It swept across the deck violently, and immediately knocked away the two sailors holding harpoons on the deck.

One of them was unfortunate enough to be caught directly in mid-air by a huge greasy tentacle, and the sucker the size of a washbasin immediately started sucking.

"Silo! Silo!"

The originally strong and muscular man suddenly became as skinny as a skeleton!
  Before he even had time to scream, all the bodily fluids, brains, blood, etc. all over his body were sucked clean by the sucker on the giant touch like juice!

This terrifying scene immediately struck fear into the hearts of many sailors.

But this scene was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen greasy gray tentacles began to fly all over the sides of the ship, constantly scanning the many sailors on the deck.

The sailors began to wield long swords, battle axes and other weapons to fight back, but unfortunately, without the strength of a formal knight, a sword strike would not be able to cause much damage to the rubber-like tough tentacles.

An ordinary sailor would only cause a white scratch on the gray and slippery surface of the tentacles, leaving no damage to the skin.

This is the terrifying power of giant ocean extraordinary creatures!
  The huge size naturally creates super strong defense power.

And more tentacles from the giant tentacled squid began to penetrate into the cabin through the holes on both sides of the ship that had not yet been closed.

Soon, the screams and screams of women and children began to come from the cabin one after another!
  "Cang!!" Several sailors controlled giant ballistae and nailed a huge gray tentacle to the deck. The first mate, who had the strength of a knight, led many sailors to roar and chop up.

With the combined efforts of everyone, a giant tentacle was cut off directly!
  The light blue blood immediately wetted a large area of ​​the deck, and the severed tentacles continued to twist on the deck, like a giant python, which showed its tyrannical vitality.

But the short-lived victory seemed to further anger the giant tentacled squid. In an instant, four or five huge tentacles attacked here at the same time.

"boom!!"

A fireball the size of a human head struck one of the tentacles, blowing it almost to the waist, and a strong smell of burning instantly filled the deck.

It was Tino who took action!
  The other tentacles were instantly entangled by several thick iron chains. Just now, a behemoth suddenly appeared on the deck, and it actually began to wrestle head-on with these giant tentacles with astonishing power.

This kind of thing beyond human control was naturally the result of Richard's resentment.

"Snapped!"

The resentful spirit hated the giant iron ax in its hand, and cut off a giant ax that was fixed by an iron chain on the spot, but was knocked down by another giant ax that suddenly attacked.

The Wraith Abomination, who kept wielding giant iron axes and chain hammers, attracted the attention of at least four or five giant tentacles by himself.

This immediately greatly reduced the pressure on the human sailors defending on the deck.

The situation that was about to collapse immediately became quite stable after Richard joined, but if you want to win, the current battle is not the key.

The giant tentacled squid has dozens of giant tentacles. If you want to cut them off one by one, it currently takes less than half an hour to do it.

But in another half hour, all the passengers on the ship will probably be killed by the giant squid.

Moreover, after killing multiple giant squids, there is a high probability that this giant squid will abandon the ship and escape.

Its giant tentacles have a regenerative function. After they are re-stretched, they will inevitably seek revenge again. Not to mention, the heroic sacrifice of the Lighthouse sailors this time becomes meaningless!
  Therefore, Richard thought for a while and asked Tino beside him:

"It can't go on like this!"

"Tino, is there any way to attack the giant squid's body?"

This made Tino, who was using the fireball technique, stunned. The giant tentacled octopus located at the bottom of the boat was currently difficult to attack directly. Could it be that he wanted to jump into the sea and fight with the giant tentacled octopus?
  The people on the boat were all humans and not sea people. Tino obviously had no good solution for this.

"Sir, several of the crossbow bolts just hit the giant squid's body. As long as someone turns the pulley, it can be dragged out of the sea. But at the moment, the boys can't gather together!"

Captain Casper saw Tino's frowning expression and immediately took the initiative to speak.

This made both Richard and Tino raise their brows. What a great idea. As expected of a captain, he has rich sailing experience!

"Very good, Captain Casper, let the sailors come over and pull the rope!" Richard agreed decisively.

"Leave the giant tentacles on the deck to me."

As the huge green inverse pentagram witch formation flashed, a three-meter-tall skeletal monster appeared again. The blood-and-bone puppet, covered with sharp bone blades, stepped forward with its legs after receiving Richard's instructions. , like a whirlwind, it went directly towards the giant tentacles raging on the deck.

These smooth and extremely tough giant tentacles are difficult to break through with ordinary swords, but for a blood-bone puppet with top-level strength, a sharp bone blade can cut down the giant tentacles in an instant. There is almost only a layer of skin hanging on the touch.

The entire giant tentacle was almost cut in half!

Moreover, compared to the slow-moving Wraith Abomination, the Blood and Bone Golem moves much faster.

Therefore, in just ten seconds, it cut off four or five giant contacts one after another.

This immediately greatly stimulated the giant tentacle octopus. The giant tentacles that were still raging in the cabin were all mobilized by it and began to besiege the blood and bone puppet.

But unfortunately, when faced with the extremely fast-moving Blood and Bone Puppet, these giant tentacles often break through and escape from the Blood and Bone Puppet as soon as they build an encirclement circle.

Taking this opportunity, dozens of strong sailors began to pull up a few ropes like a tug of war.

"Pull the rope!!" Captain Casper waved his arms rhythmically.

"Hey! Hey!"

The sailors worked together and started to drag the giant thing in the sea up through the rope step by step!
  The combined force of human beings and the labor-saving effect of the pulley block began to manifest at this moment.

The giant squid under the water also felt the direct damage to his body caused by the barbed crossbow arrows that penetrated deep into his body.

The extreme pain forced the giant squid to release its suction cup that was firmly attached to the bottom of the boat. Immediately, the giant squid's body was dragged by the rope and began to slowly emerge from the water.

This immediately made Tino very happy and said:
  "Sir Richard, the middle position of the giant squid's eyes is its fatal weakness! As long as it is penetrated, it can be killed directly. I hope you can take action in time."

"Of course!" Richard nodded.

"Boys, work harder and drag the sea monster up for me!!" Captain Casper continued to shout.

"Victory is at hand!"

However, the giant squid seemed to be aware of something bad at this moment. There was a hint of fear in its huge eyes, and it began to dive underwater with all its strength.

This made the sailors on the ship almost unable to grasp the ropes in their hands.

"How can something like tug-of-war be done without the hatred of the resentful spirit!" Richard immediately gave the order to the hatred of the resentful spirit.

Immediately, the resentful spirit narrowed its hateful little eyes, quickly came to the side of the ship, and threw all three thick iron chains on its body at the giant squid.

"Crash! Crash!"

The iron hook flashing with cold light penetrated deeply into the body of the giant squid!

Suddenly, the giant squid let out a miserable cry.

"Pfft!!"

A thick black ink sprayed directly from the tail of the giant squid, pouring on the slightly proud face and body of the Wraith Abomination.

This scene immediately made Stephana smile.

"What a good opportunity!" Richard secretly thought, he properly grasped the moment when the giant squid was pulled out of the water.

"Mental shock!"

"Death Ray!"

After a transparent energy wave hit the giant squid, a black beam of light followed directly through the center of the giant squid's eyebrows.

In an instant, the giant squid's entire body froze and stopped moving on the spot!

The two huge eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Oh!! I won!!"

"we won!!"

"We defeated the sea monster!!!"

On the deck, the sailors of the Lighthouse suddenly cheered!
