in the name of the queen

Chapter 129 Why? How?

If Roland had dared to be so arbitrary half a day ago, Bridges would have scolded him and taught him a lesson for the young boy who doesn't know how deep the sea is.

But it's different now.

Bridges hesitated.

He did not refute directly, but patiently persuaded: "Captain Roland, thanks to His Majesty's blessing, not many sailors were tempted into the water by the sea monster. Most of the thirty-five sailors who died just now were caused by the collision."

"If other battleships collide with the Sovereign, the consequences will be serious."

He turned to Sif and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, if you are still able to protect everyone, I suggest that we anchor down and keep everyone awake, stay alert, and respond to risks at any time."

"Sirens are vengeful by nature and will probably come again, but as long as you are prepared, it is not difficult to deal with them."

Bridges' suggestion is certainly fine.

The dangers of setting sail at night are far greater than the Kraken.

After all, the Kraken's ability to fight head-on is average, and it relies more on sneak attacks and seduction with songs.

but.
  "Only Sirens?"

Roland asked calmly: "General Bridges, you have rich sailing experience and extensive knowledge. Have you ever heard that sirens appeared in the Strait of Dowall in the past?"

Bridges' face changed slightly.

He understood what Roland meant.

This is no ordinary siren seducing a sailor.

This was a premeditated and organized ambush.

If the ship is anchored in place and is surrounded by more and more powerful sea demons, the danger will be much higher than a collision with a ship.

Bridges said decisively: "I understand. Then let other ships keep a distance from the Sovereign and set sail immediately."

He was most afraid of other battleships hitting the Sovereign.

As long as nothing happens to the Queen, no matter how big the issue is, it will be a small matter.

If something happened to the queen, he would have no choice but to jump into the sea and die for his country.

Sif shook her head slowly, "Let other ships follow around, I will protect everyone."

Although her voice was low and hoarse, her attitude left no room for argument.

Bridges had no choice but to stand at attention, salute, and said loudly: "As you command, Your Majesty!"

He was no longer an indifferent machine carrying out orders, but was impressed by the Queen's magnanimity.

This is what the Sussex Emperor should be like.

Not abandoning any of the warriors who follow her.

This is everyone's emperor.

Although the task is difficult, Bridges is full of fighting spirit.

Isn't it just night sailing?

It must be completed, and it must be completed.

After watching Bridges leave, Sif took out the small medicine bottle from the small box she carried with her and was about to unscrew the cap and take a few sips, but the sharp-eyed Roland snatched it away.

"Drugs with serious side effects are not allowed to be used."

Roland grabbed the medicine bottle and threw it into the sea.

"You, you know what kind of medicine this is?"

"I don't know, but my eyes are full of stupid self-movement."

Roland refuted Sif mercilessly, "I know what you are thinking. You want to protect everyone, and you want to win everyone's support. I support you, but the price cannot be irreversible damage."

"But."

"There is no but, you can absolutely trust me." Roland said firmly.

Yes, she still has Roland.

Sif felt relieved, nodded and chuckled, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The fleet set sail again.

The sailors had no complaints.

They knew that the Queen was protecting everyone and that the fleet was led by General Bridges, who had experienced many battles. They were full of confidence.

Staring at the sea under the night sky, Roland had a solemn expression.

There was certainly a reason for his insistence on a quick departure.

Even without other sea monsters, male sirens can be troublesome.

There are records of sirens and sea monsters in the elves’ inherited memories.

The female siren is beautiful and good at singing.

The male siren is tall, muscular and extremely powerful in combat.

But they are much slower than the female sirens.

Parking in place gives the male siren time to catch up.

If he hadn't made the decision to set sail just now, the complete Kraken Legion would have come.

They must go.

The female siren is not very powerful in combat and can only be charmed from a distance, and does not dare to board a ship to attack.

Letting the male siren board the ship will definitely be a bloody battle.

The Sovereign cut through the waves and moved through the night at an astonishing high speed.

The other ships also spread all their sails and advanced rapidly.

This is the ultimate test of Fourth Fleet's sailing skills.

Sailing in formation at night was unthinkable in this day and age, but they did it.

Bridges stood high up, nervously observing the entire fleet, for fear of something going wrong.

All members of the Fourth Fleet were fully focused and maintained their formation very well.

Just when he thought there would be no more trouble on this journey, the damn singing started again.

The moment the siren's song sounded, the queen's melodious singing voice sounded at the same time.

Bridges' face changed slightly.

It could be heard that the Queen was tired.

The penetrating power of her singing was obviously not as good as before, and her voice was also a little hoarse.

The song of the sirens blocking the road was much more beautiful than before.

The enemy's trump card is out.

On the top deck, outside the captain's room, Sif could barely finish a song, her voice even hoarse.

She could only ask Roland for help with her eyes.

It's your turn.

Roland nodded, took over from Sif and came to the amplification magic circle, cleared his throat, and stood up with his head held high.

The second act of the Siren's Song is sung.

The sad singing brought back endless past memories in the hearts of the sailors. Some couldn't help but run to the edge of the deck and wanted to jump into the sea. Fortunately, they were awakened by their companions with sticks prepared in advance.

The sailors discovered the usefulness of the sticks and started beating each other with them.

People will only be dominated by desires when they are in a full state.

Human beings dominated by huge pain have no desire and can only scream.

While the sailors were banging each other, Roland spoke.

He roared to silence the Siren Siren who was still singing loudly.

"There is a wide sea in front of my brother."

Sif almost lost her footing and fell from the upper deck.

Is this a song that humans can control?
  Although Sif didn't have high hopes for Roland's singing voice, Roland's solemn promise just now ignited her expectations.

Roland is an artist, maybe he can sing if he is pushed too hard?
  Now she understands.

When people are in a hurry, they are just in a hurry. Should it happen or not?

Such as mathematics and singing.

When Roland sings, the donkey weeps and the crow shuts up in shame.

His songs are all in tune, but they are just ugly.

Bridges, who was sweating profusely as he commanded the fleet, also fell silent.

He had to admit that this kid Roland had something.

Except for the singing, which is really ugly.

The Siren Siren also fell silent.

Roland's rough and heroic singing voice exceeded their understanding of music.

It is their consensus that the level of human singing varies from good to bad, but Roland easily broke through the lower limit of their cognition.

This guy's singing is not only ugly, but also has a loud voice. With the blessing of the super amplification magic array, the howling echoed over the sea area where the fleet was located.

Sif's singing shakes the eardrums and soothes the soul.

Roland's singing pierced the eardrums and tore apart the soul.

The sailors held their heads in pain. Now they feel that hitting their heads with a stick is not particularly painful.

Humans tolerate noise pollution just fine, but sirens don't.

A siren went crazy.

She couldn't allow music to be so tainted.

She rushed to the Sovereign.

The second siren went crazy, and she also rushed to the Sovereign, trying to kill the source of the noise with her own hands.

Awaiting her were harpoons, crossbows and muskets.

A mere sea monster is no match for a human soldier one on one, let alone a variety of weapons designed to attack fish.

The intelligence of Sirens is far higher than that of ordinary sea creatures, but there is a big gap compared with humans.

Enraged by Roland's singing, the furious sea monsters rushed forward one after another to send him off, and even the leader of the siren sea monsters could not stop him.

Soon, at least a dozen sea monsters were shot and killed, and more sea monsters who were lucky enough to get on the boat were beaten unconscious with sticks and tied up.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, the Siren Siren leader puffed up his chest and screamed at the Sovereign.

Even though she was screaming, her voice was still very pleasant.

"Human, shut up!"

Roland sang louder.

The Siren leader was very angry, but she knew that she would not be able to get her people back if she didn't take out something, so she gritted her teeth and said:
  "Human, I am willing to exchange myself for my people."

Roland's singing voice became louder and louder.

Seeing the female siren trying to seduce in a seductive pose, he suddenly thought of a famous joke.

The fisherman caught the mermaid and released it.

His companion asked him: "Why?"

The fisherman replied: "How?"

Although it is a joke, it also shows that the physiological structure of the Kraken is completely different from that of humans. It also has a strong smell of the sea. Except for the wild XP superheroes, normal people are really not interested.

Kissing and being stabbed in the cheek is not a wonderful experience.

The most important thing is that Sif is still looking at him.

Roland laughed loudly and said: "Do you think I am as fishy as you? Don't you just want to slow down the fleet's progress so that you can buy time for the male seafood to pursue it?"

His voice was high, but instead of answering the sirens, he addressed the fleet.

He wanted to tell Bridges and all the sailors why the ship couldn't be stopped.

The value of the Siren Leader is indeed much higher than that of ordinary Sirens, but the ship is huge, it takes a long time to stop and start the ship, and it is easy to cause accidents.

If it stops, something big could happen.

Roland gave the order loudly.

"Full speed ahead!"

Bridges, who was commanding the fleet, groaned and accepted Roland's order.

Although he had no affiliation, he knew that Roland's words were equal to the Queen's words, and it was better to implement them immediately rather than wait for the Queen to repeat them again.

He didn't realize that Roland's cross-service command in emergencies had already been approved by him.

Seeing that Roland had no intention of stopping the ship, the Siren Siren leader's expression changed slightly.

To seduce Roland just now, her shoulders were completely exposed, and she even "accidentally" dropped the shell ornament that was used to hide her shame into the sea.

She is very confident in her appearance and figure, and firmly believes that no human male can resist the graceful and curious taste.

However, Roland gave her a loud slap in the face.

Not only the singing duel, but also the disregard for her feminine charms.

The damn human male could definitely see it, but he just didn't care.

The Siren Siren leader jumped out of the sea angrily and let out a sharp roar, as if to guide the direction.

Bridges quickly came to the bow of the ship, personally controlled the ballista, adjusted its direction, and fired violently.

The huge crossbow arrow flew out with the sound of wind and thunder.

The leader of the sea monster subconsciously dodged, and the crossbow arrow flew out of her body, causing a burning sensation on her chest.

She clutched the bruised part of her chest, and the scream became even louder.

The waves surged and the wind blew.

Sif, who was standing on the high platform, looked at the sea with some worry and asked softly: "Roland, is there a stronger enemy coming?"

"Don't be afraid. The male siren is very slow. Most elite warriors can't catch up. Only a handful of speed-specialized sirens can catch up."

"These sea monsters have very low defense. Crossbow arrows and harpoons are enough to deal with them, so don't worry."

Roland's judgment was very accurate. Ninety percent of the Kraken chasing the fleet were left behind.

Only the Swift-headed Siren, known as the Marine Light Cavalry, chased after him.

These sirens have swordfish-like heads that can cut through waves with ease, and their bodies are closer to fish than to humans.

They are extremely fast, but their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Deep Sea Nagas whose bodies are covered in scales.

The siren leader was already mad and she couldn't care less.

This is the sea, and no matter how weak the sea monster is, it is stronger than humans.

This is their stereotype.

But she ignored one thing.

Human beings are vulnerable when they fall into the sea, but when they board a ship, it means a land battle, which is also very disadvantageous.

Roland did not give any more orders. He did not like micro-management, but chose to trust Bridges.

He did not feel that his micro-manipulation level could surpass Bridges, who had thirty years of experience at sea.

All his orders are just to guide ideas, not to control details.

Bridges looked up at Roland on the high platform. After receiving Roland's affirmative gaze, he felt a little relieved.

Captain Roland knows military matters.

He never interfered when it was time to delegate power.

The Swifthead Siren's charge turned into a death charge.

The sailors, who had suppressed their anger and were tortured to the point of suffering, finally found a channel to vent their anger and started ruthlessly.

Their land warfare level is not as good as that of the professional army, but that doesn't mean that seafood can be used on ships.

The sailors were too lazy to make trouble with the seafood, so they directly raised their muskets and blasted them first as a sign of respect.

After three volleys, the sailors changed into long and short weapons. Tridents, scimitars and shields worked in perfect harmony, killing the seafood to pieces.

After throwing away hundreds of corpses, the leader of the female siren and the leader of the swift-headed siren finally realized the huge gap in combat power between them and the elite human warriors.

If they weren't playing dirty tricks, they would have no chance of winning.

Although they were unwilling, they still chose to give up.

The white fish belly appears in the east, and the sun is about to come out.

Sunlight is fatal to Kraken.

Their delicate skin gets burned and cracked under the scorching sun.

The seafood retreated.

Nearly two hundred corpses and dozens of prisoners were left behind.

Sun rise.

The ocean was dyed a golden red, as if blood had coated the golden vessel.

Bridges came to the deck below with murderous intent. He looked at the prisoners coldly and asked:

"You understand human language?"

The siren stubbornly turned his head away.

"boom!"

When the gunfire rang out, Bridges blew the gun smoke from the muzzle and said unhurriedly:
  "You are a piece of trash who can't understand human speech and doesn't deserve to live."

"Who else can't understand human speech?"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Gunfire rang out.

Any seafood that could not understand human language was taken to the bow of the ship by the angry sailors, beaten to death on the spot and thrown into the sea.

Bridges looked at the remaining dozen prisoners with a ferocious smile.

"Next, I want to show you the top cooking methods of humans in handling seafood."
