Boom boom boom~~
The warships, which had been on alert for a long time, launched their attack the moment the Kraken made a move and the King gave the order!
Countless cannonballs immediately streaked across the night sky towards the monster.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The five Ship Cannons on the Oakenshield fired three rapid volleys at once. Before the first cannonball even reached the Kraken, the third one had already left the barrel.
Other warships acted similarly, even more swiftly and continuously.
At least several thousand cannonballs were fired at the Kraken!
Their power was enough to illuminate the Dark Night, shake the depths of the sea, stir the sea and sky, and scorch the Storm. Even if only a tenth of them hit, it would absolutely be enough to crush this Hill of flesh and bones!
Like Falia Flowers, no one believed they could capture the Kraken alive anymore. After it was over, it would be considered lucky to salvage a pile of fragments.
But the Kraken suddenly leaped high and let out a sharp roar.
Roar!
The invisible sound waves were imprinted with some spreading trajectories by the White Mist and clouds. It was rapidly spreading to an unknown distance behind the Fleet.
Like a boundless vortex, like a vast Storm.
Countless people became dizzy and intoxicated by it, abandoning all annoying thoughts, just standing there happily and simply, motionless, enjoying the simplest peace.
Hundreds of Warships quieted down one after another, beginning an untimely slumber.
Ding~~
Everyone favored by the Divine Grace Light Screen dreamed of the Seven Hells: burning by Fire, freezing by Ice, pricking by needles and slicing by knives, flaying skin and gouging bones, demonic sounds piercing the ears, shaking brains, drowning and suffocating...
Humans then woke up in sorrow and terror!
The first thing they saw was the sky full of blazing flames, and the continuous roar in their ears.
Countless cannonballs exploded in the sky!
Boom boom boom~~~
Not on or near the Kraken, but in the empty sky, even not far from the muzzles of the Ship Cannons!
The bombing became a fireworks show.
The Gods...
The sea breeze was not very strong, but Falia Flowers felt it difficult to breathe. She didn't know if it was because of the extreme perception the Light Screen brought her, or if she was deeply shocked by the various terrifying sights and ominous omens she saw.
"Continue firing!" Lord Beric Dondarrion ordered loudly.
The Oakenshield and other Warships successively recovered from their silence and began the next round of attack. Bang! Bang! Bang...
The Kraken "Roared" again.
A grand fireworks display bloomed again above the night sky, allowing the people on the ships and on shore to enjoy an artificial concert of "Light" and "Thunder".
Falia Flowers finally broke free from her trembling.
She immediately noticed:
A small number of solid shot hit the sea surface near the Kraken, splashing up white Water Columns.
Although the Kraken flexibly dodged these not-so-dense Stones, it was completely unharmed. But this at least meant that the Ship Cannons were still useful, and there was still hope!
She immediately prepared to report upwards, but then heard Lord Beric's order on the Light Screen.
"Switch to solid shot!" he said.
The Ship Cannons paused for a breath, and then eagerly roared and displayed their power again.
Inside the Cabin was another scene. Gray, helpless, weak, silent, people were sinking into fear of the Kraken and the strange perception created by the Light Screen.
Truly like weak Lambs.
Falia Flowers saw her father was one of them, and even Crow's Eye was still in a dazed state.
The scene outside the porthole was so intense. They were fighting an epic battle, and win or lose, history would remember this day forever.
She mustered her courage and walked towards the Deck. She had made her choice and had to see it through.
Stepping out of the Cabin.
It was so bright and warm outside.
The cannons on the Deck fired non-stop, and hot steaming White Mist lingered around the Warships, making every breath warm and humid, as if in a vibrant hot spring.
She looked around.
Everyone on the Deck was focused and acted efficiently, with only a few familiar faces.
Most of them were the King's Royal Guard.
Falia understood that the Oakenshield was being controlled by His Majesty's Royal Guard. Sorcerers were at the helm and controlling the Sails, while other Soldiers were guarding the doors and Cabins, operating the Ship Cannons, and assembling to wait for orders.
As for the original Sailors and crew.
At a time like this, what else could they do?
It was nothing more than hiding in the cabin with Your Lordship, unable to do anything, only praying for safety and victory over and over again, praying that the Kraken wouldn't target the insignificant Oakenshield.
Many people had already begun to doubt victory.
Falia refused to waver.
She walked to the bow of the ship, stopped beside Lord Beric, and then turned to the left.
The Oakenshield was facing the Kraken with its port side, its five Ship Cannons firing shells non-stop, causing the Warship to shake violently, as if it could capsize at any moment.
Beric Dondarrion merely glanced at her. The battle was tense, and now was not a good time for idle chat.
"Correct coordinates! The Kraken must not be allowed to catch up to the Divine Grace!" Beric Dondarrion closely tracked the Kraken's figure through his telescope.
Most Warships had switched to solid shot.
After several rounds of concentrated attack, most of the Kraken's body had submerged below the surface, with only a few Tentacles exposed, dodging shells and trying to reach the Divine Grace.
The attack wasn't going too smoothly.
Fortunately, the Kraken was getting further and further away from the Divine Grace. As soon as the Divine Grace crossed the "Fishing Net", the Kraken would no longer be able to pursue the King.
Fishing Net...
Beric Dondarrion's Eyes widened instantly, thinking of a terrifying image!
Roar~~~~~
The Kraken let out its seductive cry once again.
The fierce cannon fire paused for a moment.
Splash~
The Kraken retracted all its Tentacles and sank completely into the sea.
Roar!
A muffled monster roar came from the Seabed.
Immediately after.
Rumble rumble rumble~~~
The entire sea was shaking! Like a volcano erupting after accumulating for a thousand years!
In an instant.
The sea surface was like boiling hot water, powerful bubbles rolled up from the Seabed and rose, exploding on the surface of the sea, dense and numerous, like the countless pores on Human skin opening to dissipate heat.
The Warships drifted helplessly on the chaotic sea.
People hadn't reacted yet.
The corpses of fish and shrimp had already covered the sea surface, surging back and forth with the waves from all directions, lifted by Water Columns, pushed by the waves, impacting the Deck of the ships in waves.
The Warships could not stop the sea.
The foul-smelling corpses thus wantonly crashed against people's ankles, thighs, and even faces, making them truly feel the power of the turmoil in the sea.
Perhaps only nightmares would be like this.
The sea within sight turned into a death trap in an instant.
This Kraken is actually so powerful!?
The Light Screen issued urgent alerts, and those participating in the battle saw the truth because of this.
The orange-red light spots on the Battle Map had completely cleared, leaving a large blank area in which only the pitch-black Kraken still shone glaringly.
So it was Depth Charges!
The Kraken detonated the Depth Charges! Created this scene!
The terrifying speculation about the Kraken didn't come true.
But instead of feeling relieved, people became even more heavy and serious.
The "Fishing Net" was gone!
