Chapter 1087 Chapter 1085

"No, that place is much more dangerous than Shurima."

After thinking for a while, Drizzt shook his head.

"That is definitely not a place we can get involved in."

Drizzt emphasized the word "definitely", and Graves spat in his ears.

"You are afraid of this and that, so why not just do nothing, break up and go home to find a wife and have children."

Having said that, Graves did not mention going to the Twin Cities again. In his opinion, if even Drizzt was afraid of it, it must be a dangerous place where one would die. He liked excitement and challenges, but he didn't want to give up his life just like that.

Just when the two stopped talking, accompanied by the ancient and desolate horn of a sea beast, several groups of magic lights for lighting rose above the dark sea, and the shouting on the boat became harsh.

The waves surged in the depths of the sea, and changes suddenly occurred.

Graves and Drizzt's faces changed slightly, and they looked into the distance at the same time. They saw that the sea illuminated by the magic light was rolling with dark waves like a field plowed by an old cow. In the rolling waves, a hideous fish flashed by.

Each of the hideous triangular-headed fish was half a meter long, with a big head and a short tail like a mallet, teeth like barbed steel needles, and fish scales like dark golden armor, one pressed against another. Two bubbles appeared on both sides of the fish head like fish eyes, reflecting a strange light of light red.

Even Graves, who couldn't even tell the difference between freshwater fish and deepwater fish, could see that there was no way such an evil and terrifying creature could exist in the shallow sea area.

"It's deep-sea anglerfish! There are at least several thousand of them!!!"

"Fire!!! Fire!!!"

"Boom!!!"

Just like boiling water, the relatively quiet sea area suddenly rang with the dense rumble of heavy artillery like firecrackers.

The shells that were ejected from the barrel flashed a comb-like line of hot fire and plowed across the sea surface. Wherever they passed, the waves flew and splashed a large area of ​​blood and flesh. More deep-sea anglerfish dived into the sea and disappeared, leaving many shells in vain.

"Run away just like that?"

Finally coming to his senses, Graves's tense face was slightly relieved, but Drizzt shook his head and said coldly.

"No, they're probably going to eat the boat."

As if to confirm what Drizzt said, there were numbing collisions and scraping sounds from the bottom of the boat, and the creaking of the wood could be vaguely heard.

Grevos, who was chilled all over, concentrated on his fate and fired a shot directly at the not-so-calm sea surface under the boat.

This shot didn't hit anything, but it caused a deep-sea anglerfish to jump up directly, with its wide-open, smelly mouth facing Graves' head, and it was about to tear Graves' head off his neck.

"Fuck you!"

Frightened by the sudden attack, Graves, who was angry and embarrassed, cursed and turned the gun around and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The other barrel of fate spewed out hot flames, and the large-caliber shotgun shells flew out of the barrel and swept across the fish's mouth, directly smashing the whole fish into pieces, including the head and tail.

Splashed with the smelly fish blood, Graves took two steps back and left the dangerous edge of the boat, looking frightened.

"Sprinkle repellent powder! Don't let these monsters sink the ship!"

The [Crocodile] was just a steam-powered ship of the Guns and Roses Gang that was slightly stronger than an ordinary sailing ship. The hull and keel were not reinforced with anti-corrosion metal, so it could not withstand the attack of deep-sea anglerfish.

Except for the mercenaries nearby, few crew members who were doing their jobs noticed what happened on Graves' side. Most of the crew members were following the orders of the first mate to scoop bowls of smelly dry powder from the waterproof barrel and sprinkle them on the sea surface. The dry powder boiled and merged into the sea water as soon as it came into contact with the sea water.

As if affected by the dry powder, the deep-sea anglerfish swimming under the ship soon poked their heads out of the sea surface, looking crazy and unable to find their way around.

"Fire! Shoot these beasts!"

Following the first mate's attack order, the shooters who had already loaded their rifles stretched their heads out and pulled the triggers at the strange fish exposed on the sea surface.

Amid the crackling sound of firing, the deep-sea anglerfish that were churning the ocean sank under the sea one by one, and it was unknown whether they died or escaped.

At this moment, Graves regained his composure and slowly changed the bullets for fate.

"It seems that these ugly fish will die without us taking any action."

"Graves, I asked you to come on board not to let you deal with these little guys."

Graves turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. It was the old captain of the Devil Crocodile, Boros, who was walking towards this side.

"You call these little guys? This guy's head is bigger than my gun barrel."

Graves pulled the corner of his mouth and shook his head in disapproval. Trist quietly walked away from Graves, who had been paid attention to by many people, with an expression of "I don't know him".

The old captain Boros took off his pipe and smiled, but there was no mockery.

"Of course they are little guys. At least compared with the ghosts in the deep sea, these triangular-headed anglerfish can only be regarded as giant salamanders.

I just hope that no big guys will really come out of the sea. I am still looking forward to returning to the bay to retire."

Most of the deep-sea anglerfish that attacked were destroyed by the armed fleet in the offshore waters. Only a very small number reached the port coast and were shot by the rifle shooters on the coast.

When most people breathed a sigh of relief, the Pirate Queen Sarah on the Guns and Roses flagship [Good Luck] did not show a good face.

Her flagship [Good Luck] was a secondary warship designed after the magic metal battleship [Meteor] of the Noxus Empire.

As an engagement gift given to her by the Holy Emperor of the Noxus Empire, [Good Luck] can be said to be a veritable battleship in the Western fantasy world. All the crew members on it are from the elite navy of the Noxus Empire.

[Good Luck] is equipped with radar detection (magic tracking and sensing function), anti-submarine (fragmentation type directional magic energy beam) and ultra-long-range heavy artillery bombardment (magic guided magic crystal heavy artillery) and other epoch-making military functions. When necessary, she can also return directly to the Starry Sky Gate through the long-distance teleportation array on the Good Luck.

It can be said that as long as she is on her flagship, she will not be in danger.

Just because she would not be in danger did not mean that her ship and Bilgewater would not be in danger.

If someone could look down at the sea battlefield outside the Silver Snake Pier from above, they would find that the Good Luck was located in the center of the battlefield, slightly behind the battlefield, and it could be said to be the real commander of the central army.

As long as casualties were not considered, the artillery fire of the magic warship could cover any position of the battlefield at any time. Similarly, the "radar" on the Good Luck could also detect the situation on the battlefield.

However, Sarah in the captain's command room was never worried about the anglerfish that did not even qualify to appear on the magic crystal projection, but about three hundred high-energy life forms that were the size of a fingernail and were rapidly approaching the front of the front line.

Based on the comprehensive assessment of the intensity of life energy and magic energy, the detection crystal would accurately mark life forms that exceeded a certain intensity limit on the simulated sea chart, with an error of no more than ten meters.

The Good Luck, which was equivalent to the Imperial Navy warship, was marked as a "valuable military target", which was naturally not comparable to ordinary deep-sea monsters, and she could not afford to be careless.

"Pass the order, let all ships prepare to meet the enemy, the real enemy is coming."

"Yes, sir."

The female adjutant saluted Sarah first, and then issued a combat order through the special communication crystal of the Guns and Roses Gang. The Guns and Roses Gang then transmitted combat information to other ships through the ship number and naval signal flag.

[There are so many large sea beasts here. I am afraid that the fierceness of the battle in the Abyss Trench is far beyond my imagination. I don't know if Brother Lester is injured...]

Looking up at the direction where the large sea beasts are attacking, Sarah's eyebrows are deeply worried. Although she trusts Lester's strength, she can't be worry-free. After all, Lester is facing an enemy that even the sea beast master Orloy finds difficult.

Even the expeditionary force sent by the empire to Icathia failed to kill the Void Queen. This fact can already explain a lot of things.

"Captain, the first batch of large sea beasts have reached the attack range of the magic cannon. Should we launch an attack?"

The serious voice of the adjutant made Sarah put her attention back to the command of the ship. After taking a deep breath, a pretty girl who was worried about her lover turned into a cold-looking pirate queen.

"Will it affect our ship's defense line?"

"No."

"Then hit me hard!"

The order was issued, and the sixteen magic heavy cannons that had been ready for launch were aimed at the northwest at the same time under the guidance of the wizard, and the firepower coverage space positioning before the launch was completed through the detection crystal of the Good Luck.

"Ship gun salvo! Fire at full force!"

The extended rune magic heavy cannons with barrels as thick as an adult man's waist ejected highly compressed energy shells one after another. There was no momentum when the battleship shells were fired in the era of giant cannons, but the effect and shock level were far better than the battleship cannons.

In one salvo, thirty-two dark blue destructive meteors with a diameter of ten meters lined up in a row, flying up to a thousand meters in the sky.

The magic cannonballs with an initial speed of about two thousand meters crossed the battlefield and flew over the sky above the Devil Crocodile in an instant, and finally landed in different locations, covering the invasion path of large sea beasts as much as possible.

The magic energy shells were like small suns silently sinking into the water, and like small, pollution-free nuclear bombs, using terrible energy waves that annihilated everything to bury all living things within a hundred meters of the ocean.

The seawater in the core area evaporated completely, forming a short-term vacuum environment. No matter whether it was the giant squid with a body size of dozens of meters or the Yama bone whale as big as a small mountain, as long as they were affected by the energy wave, they would not be able to escape, and they died suddenly.

The unlucky people who were in the energy wave disappeared directly from the atomic level in this world like the annihilated seawater.

It was not clear what kind of horrible scene happened in the sea ten kilometers away. In the eyes of Graves and Trist, it was like a heart-pounding meteor shower suddenly appeared in the sky behind. When the meteor shower passed through the sky, the sharp explosion sound appeared in the ears belatedly, bringing a deep sense of fear to the brain.

"Gambler, flying in the sky, what are those things?"

Graves still had a fearless look, but unfortunately his trembling voice betrayed his true thoughts.

"I don't know what it is, I only know that if that thing hits near us, hundreds of people here will die."

"So exaggerated?"

Unlike the natural ‘magic idiot’ Graves, the card magician Drizzt, who is very sensitive to magic energy, was really scared.

“Graves, you also know that the most powerful card in my magic is the teleport card. It is not easy to get a teleport card at ordinary times.”

Drizzt, with weak legs, quietly lowered his body center of gravity, holding down the gambler’s hat, and stood elegantly on the edge of the boat - if he didn’t do this, he would definitely fall on his butt, which is not in line with his etiquette.

“Let me tell you this, if the magic energy contained in any light ball flying in the sky is left to me, I can directly make at least five sets of teleport cards.”

Hearing this, Graves lowered his head and thought for a while, bent five fingers, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"Only five teleportation cards, they don't seem that powerful. I thought it was a big deal that you could make them after working non-stop for three months..."

"Not five cards, but five decks."

Drizzt interrupted Graves and raised five fingers. There was no joking on his face, which was completely different from his usual aloofness.

"A deck of cards has 54 cards, and five decks of cards have 270 cards.

That ball of magic energy is enough for me to turn 270 ordinary playing cards into teleportation cards. I might even say it's too little."

Graves's face finally couldn't hold back. He counted his fingers stupidly, and he didn't even know that his fate had fallen on the deck.

"Two, two hundred and seventy?! Are they the stars that just flew past the sky?"

"The stars you're talking about are the magic heavy artillery shells fired by the Empress' flagship [Good Luck]. A rune magic heavy artillery can fire twice in a row when fully charged, and when the ship's guns fire in unison, it is enough to fire a destructive barrage like a meteor."

Graves and Drizzt turned their heads and looked at the old captain Boros who was looking at the night sky.

He was obviously just a sour old man with a pipe in his mouth, why did he look so awesome at this moment?

The old captain who was very awesome in the eyes of the two bandits had an unusually heavy face.

"We are in big trouble, guys, because we can make the Good Luck's ship's guns fire in unison."

"Old man, who are you? How do you know this?"

Not paying attention to Graves's rudeness, Boros glanced at Graves and spoke in a flat tone.

"Me? I'm just a retired veteran of the Imperial Navy."
