Even with all their attention, the second attack left Scurvy's fleet defenseless.
It only took a few seconds from the black shadow appearing on the bottom of the sea to breaking out of the water.
Another boat was broken open, located right next to the gunboat that had been shelling just now.
Still on the starboard side, the eyes of the three lords on the ship were all attracted by the scene on the right front. This time, the sea beast did not attack vertically from directly below, but from behind.
The bottom of the stern and the paddle wheel mounted on it were either scattered in the sea or disappeared.
The sea beast did not dive directly into the water this time. It swam along the blind spot of the fleet's fire. Dark blue hard armor covered its head, and the rest of the place was also covered by thick-looking gray-white scales.
The two eyes covered with film are moving constantly, perhaps observing.
Swimming its body, it had arrived at the port side of the attacked gunboat, turned suddenly, and rushed towards the gunboat again.
Another heavy impact, and it broke the keel of the ship again.
Perhaps he noticed that another gunboat was turning to take aim. After completing this attack, the sea beast sank underwater again.
The sea gradually calmed down again.
The setting sun continues to set, and the light on the sea becomes darker, just like the mood of the rat people.
Compared with the sadness of the death of their compatriots, if the rat people have this emotion, the fear of sea beasts will fill the battlefield even more intensely.
"We must kill it. Its speed is more than thirty-five knots, and we can't escape."
Beside Eski, the captain said through gritted teeth. Eski had already asked about the smell of fear that was obviously coming from the captain.
If the sea beasts are not killed here, the fleet will only be destroyed by the sea beasts that can travel at such high speed.
The white-haired engineer turned to the brown-haired man.
"Mirza, do you have an observer? I didn't have time to bring that thing."
This is an engineer-specific device with night vision and zoom capabilities.
Although the night vision mode of the observer did not allow him to see the dark shadows under the sea, the increasingly dim light made it increasingly difficult for him to see clearly what was happening on the sea.
Compared with other races, the eyesight of the rat people is not good, and the engineering warlocks who fight abroad need the assistance of this kind of equipment.
It's just that Eski didn't need this kind of equipment when he was originally hiding in the industrial area of the Skry clan. In addition, there were so many things to consider that he didn't bring it with him when he left the Skaven Demon City this time.
Originally, Eski planned to make one himself after arriving at the military port, but he didn't expect that a fight would break out halfway.
"Yes, two hundred."
Mirza ruthlessly increased the price, reaching four times the selling price in the Skrein Industrial Zone in the Skaven Demon City. Coupled with the already extremely high PCM of the Skrei clan, this increased the proportion of money he could earn. Even human health care product merchants have to call themselves experts.
"Two hundred is just two hundred, I'll let you earn it."
Eski didn't want to waste time haggling. Time was more valuable than money now.
"I'll give it to you after the fight."
"Whoever it is, go to my room and ask the slave rat to bring the observer."
After calling the slave rat, Mirza put the green lens instrument hanging on the waist of the power armor on his eyes to better observe the battle situation on the sea.
He didn't like to carry this thing, and most engineering warlocks didn't like this thing. Because it was fixed with a belt, it would give him a headache if he kept it for a long time.
But if you don't tighten it, it will fall to the ground when you move, and you can only make a choice on comfort.
Eski glanced at the ship on the port side. The captain said it was a net-laying ship, but they were already moving away from the battlefield.
"Did you put the fishing nets away? Or did you give up?"
The white-haired engineer warlock asked the captain.
"This sea beast has the ability to swim. A fishing net may not be effective. The clan does not have such a big net."
The black-haired captain explained, but his eyes were always alert to the surrounding sea.
Although this ship did not attack sea beasts, the shape of the elf ship was completely different from other ships. Perhaps it thought it was some special prey and launched an attack.
After taking the observer handed over by the slave rat who ran quickly, Esky was finally able to clearly see the situation in the distance.
The gunboat also broke at a glance like the previous ship, but this time, it broke from both sides downwards, perhaps because there was something heavy in the middle that had not been bitten off.
Another paddle steamer that had been noticed before approached. It was different from other ships. Only then did Eski see that in addition to the two paddle wheels at the tail, it had four paddle wheels installed on the belly.
This greatly enhances its maneuverability.
"What's that for?"
Esky saw the other party put a large ball of something into the water. That thing, if he saw it correctly, should be a slave rat.
"Use bleeding slave rats as bait, put the fishhook inside, and wait until it bites the hook, we will..."
Before the captain could finish speaking, the sea beast jumped out again, but instead of biting the bait put down by the assault ship, it once again bit off the keel of another gunboat.
But it wasn't as lucky as the last time it attacked.
The piercing bells echoed on the sea, making the engineering warlocks who were not the target of the spell shudder.
"Cartilage surgery?"
Eski saw that the movements of the sea beast began to be extremely slowed down. The bell just sounded was the spell released against the sea beast. Under the mage's second vision, he could clearly see that the chaotic energy spread in waves and converged on the sea beast.
Turning to the right and rear, I saw a transport ship.
But there was a big bell standing on the ship.
"The Gray Prophet has taken action."
Bang bang bang...
Blood stains began to explode on the sea beast's armor.
The gunboat that had not yet sunk miraculously did not flee. Instead, it seized the opportunity and launched a round of bombardment.
This ship, which was destined to sink, finally came to a shattered ending after this round of bombardment.
"The shelling worked, it was wounded."
The captain couldn't help shouting excitedly, and Eski could smell the fear he released began to fade, and the smell of battle gradually became stronger.
By the way, that's right. The bell just sounded also had a motivating effect on the rat people.
However, that mouth type was designed for land warfare. It is only more than three meters high. Is the effect really that good? The white-haired engineer warlock was skeptical.
"The cartilage technique cannot be maintained."
Mirza said. As soon as he took off the observer, he saw that the chaotic energy under the second vision began to weaken.
Not long after saying this, the sea beast disappeared on the sea again.
"It was injured, why is there no blood?"
A claw hit the head of the clan sailor who asked the question, and the captain continued to stare at the sea in silence.
Of course, it is impossible for blood to leave traces on the sea in reality. The ocean is flowing, and the traces will only dissipate immediately.
This inspired Eski. He seemed to be able to use the eight magical winds to trace blood traces, but that was the scope of the wind in the sky.
Before he could continue to struggle, the sea beast launched a third attack.
Just as the captain had always expected, it bit the slave rats that were whipped and bleeding. Of course, the huge fishhook pierced its mouth.
Just then, the clan rat on top of the mast screamed.
"Captain, the flagship ordered us to go to the battlefield and immobilize the sea beast with the chain arrows of the pointy-eared things."
