in the name of the queen

Chapter 128 The Song of the Siren
  The siren's song grew quieter.

They have a strong appreciation for art, and when faced with songs that are obviously more melodious and beautiful, they cannot be stubborn and refuse to admit defeat.

A siren stopped singing.

The two sirens stopped singing.

Soon, more and more sirens stopped singing.

After Sif finished singing, she subconsciously held up the hem of her skirt and made a graceful exit.

Although the audience is not large, Roland's presence means the whole world.

As for Bridges
  Free tickets to the Queen's concert are a tribute to his loyalty.

However, as soon as she bent her knees, the siren's song sounded at an inappropriate time.

The sailor who had just calmed down became a little manic again.

Sif's face changed slightly, her lips moved slightly, but she made no sound.

Roland judged from the shape of his mouth that it should be a Chinese curse.

It was obvious that Sif was angry.

She bit her lip and stood in the center of the magic circle, holding her head high and continuing to sing.

This time the song is a bit more aggressive.

She sang a song composed for the famous Sussex dish Staring at the Stars, which simply sums up the whole process from catching fish to killing fish and eating them.

Sussex people may not be good at cooking, but they are definitely good at trolling.

They are professionals when it comes to being weird and disgusting.

Although Sif has not received formal education in this area, she has learned some things without a teacher, and the song she sings about looking up at the stars is also very good.

Sirens are intelligent beings who can understand simple human language.

Sussex is the most widely spoken language in the human world, and they understand it somewhat.

They were angry.

Using fish as an analogy to sirens is similar to using monkeys to refer to humans, which is very insulting.

This song is very offensive and even more insulting.

The siren couldn't bear the humiliation and not only sang in response, but also let out a sweet scream.

As expected of a tribe that is good at singing, even their screams are so melodious.
  Roland's face changed slightly, and he roared at Bridges who was listening to the song in a daze:
  "General, don't be stunned, set sail immediately, I mean immediately!"

Although Roland and Bridges were not subordinate to each other and had no authority to command at all, the rear admiral subconsciously saluted Roland and turned to leave.

After conveying the order to each ship, Bridges realized that he had just accepted Roland's order in a confused manner.

He was surprisingly not angry.

The reason why I looked down on Roland before was not because Roland was a pretty boy, but because the knight leader always liked to make irresponsible remarks across military branches.

Who can tolerate this kind of thing?
  But Roland's performance tonight impressed him with admiration.

Roland has always been on high alert since he went to sea.

He never felt that this was a peaceful journey and was always on guard.

He really got it right.

Bridges very much hoped that this was a coincidence and that he was being fooled, but he had a vague feeling that it was not a fool's errand.

Thinking of this, he sighed and put away his contempt for Roland.

He is a very capable, cautious, and very thick-skinned pretty boy.

The fleet surrounded the Queen's ship Sovereign, guided by Her Majesty's song, and set sail again under the night, aiming for Port Emre.

The sailors had no time to grieve for their companions who fell into the water and died. They had to work extra hard to fill the jobs left by their companions.

The duet between the Queen and the Sirens continues.

The Queen's voice clearly suppressed the Siren, but the Siren did not give up.

Roland looked at the dark sea with a solemn expression, and looked at Sif with some worry.

"Can you still hold on?"

Sif couldn't answer with her voice, so she could only nod solemnly.

There were still five hours before dawn, and Sif had been singing continuously for more than an hour.

This is no ordinary singing, it is singing that involves pouring your spirit into it and going all out. This kind of singing is much more tiring than usual singing.

Sif has persisted for so long, which is already very good.

No siren was her rival, but the siren gave up her pride as a singer and resorted to despicable wheel fighting.

A single siren won't work, and neither will multiple sirens, so take turns singing and constantly consume Sif.

Sif's song can overpower the Siren's charm, but if she stops, the Siren's song will take over again.

Faced with such shameless tactics, Bridges, well prepared, issued new orders.

"emission!"

The sail battleship has a larger space and retains some traditional weapons.

Such as harpoons, ballistas, and tridents.

Cannons have difficulty targeting underwater targets, harpoons and ballistae can.

Bridges was not in a hurry, but was coordinating the ships and preparing to take action at the same time.

He is a professional in naval battles.

After confirming that the ships were ready, Bridges roared angrily.

Dozens of harpoons flew into the sea through the launching device and pierced the target they had aimed at.

Screams continued to sound.

Blood dyed the sea red.

Although the sailors on the ship could not see the river of blood, the screams one after another made them extremely happy.

Following the harpoon is the ballista.

The ballista has a low hit rate, but is very lethal.

As long as he is hit, he will definitely die.

Seeing his companions falling down continuously, Siren also panicked.

They fled quickly, not daring to stay around at all.

Bridges breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly ran to the upper deck.

Just as I was standing on the upper deck, a sad song sounded.

Hearing Sif's singing, all the sailors consciously stopped, took off their hats, and paid tribute to the comrades who unfortunately fell into the water and observed a moment of silence.

Many sailors who lost their companions had red eyes and excitedly murmured to themselves: "Tom, did you hear it? Her Majesty the Queen is singing a requiem for you. You can rest in peace."

Bridges stood obediently and listened to Sif's complete requiem before starting to report.

According to preliminary statistics, a total of thirty-five people fell into the water and died, ten people were unfortunately injured, and two non-main ships were slightly injured.

"The loss is very small. It all depends on His Majesty's singing and Captain Roland's prediction."

Bridges is an honest man and will not deny Roland's contribution just because he hates him.

Listening to his report, Sif's face darkened, and she sighed softly: "Thirty-five brave warriors, this is not a cold number, but thirty-five crying families."

"Calculate the losses. They are not missing. They are all warriors who died heroically in the battle with the sea monster. Please pay the pension as soon as possible."

Bridges saluted quickly.

He did not expect that the almighty Queen would regret the death of thirty-five ordinary soldiers and provide specific guidance for the aftermath.

"Your Majesty is kind and their bereaved families will be grateful."

This is not flattery, Sif's approach is indeed benevolent, completely different from most monarchs of this era.

Sif did not look back at Roland, nor did she ask if she was doing well in front of outsiders.

She knew it would be a perfect score this time.

Even a strict instructor like Roland couldn't find any deduction points.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Bridges took the opportunity to suggest: "Your Majesty, it is very dangerous to sail at night. Those sea monsters dare not come again. It is better to anchor down and stay alert and wait until tomorrow to set off."

"No, we must set sail, now!"

Roland's voice was extremely cold, like the sea water in early winter.
