Chapter 583 Servants of R'lyeh
It sounds strange to say that the Monastery of the Swollen Daughter, who was desecrated by the raven, came all the way to work for the raven.
Then it sounds even more outrageous that the Solomon Navy, together with Raven, summoned warships to go around the southern waters of the peninsula to sneak attack the monastery merchant ship.
God knows what the raven is up to.
At this time, a large area of searchlights lit up the sea.
Solomon's warships surrounded him from the south, and the solid shell that almost hit He Fang in the back of the head was projected from their warships.
…
“It’s easy to block, easy to block.”
Milo didn’t show the slightest surprise at He Fang’s feat of catching the shell from the back of his head, and said it very perfunctorily. After one sentence, he went to the southern coast.
You don’t need to guess to know that this He Fang must be some kind of high priest in the Swelling Daughter Monastery.
But Milo had no time to explore this now, because he noticed that there were familiar figures on the Solomon warships that suddenly occupied the southern sea.
…
As soon as He Fang turned her head, Milo's figure disappeared.
Next second.
On the deck of one of the Solomon battleships on the south coast.
Milo stepped out of the shadows and found Rebecca who had split up late yesterday.
Rebecca, who appeared here with the Solomon battleship, was pinched by Milo's neck as soon as she turned around.
Then he used his fingers to pull at Rebecca's face, making her eyes widen in reality, and then opened her mouth again, as if a veterinarian was examining a sick pet.
After confirming that it was correct, Milo moved his paws away from Rebecca's face, nodded and said:
"You're fine, well, the dark circles under your eyes are a bit heavy."
The stage Rebecca was in at this time was probably the stage Milo was in when the two of them went to Galede together last time. They were both tortured by nightmares, and their faces looked somewhat depressed. .
Of course, Milo's rude and overly intimate inspection just now was actually necessary, because he felt the fluctuations in Rebecca's sanity and also smelled the "big fat woman" on her. smell.
The good news is that as a visionary born from Milo, the fear devourer, Rebecca has endured it. No matter what she has encountered before, she has endured it with her own willpower. And it seemed that there was a not too fierce confrontation. She did not give in, so she was not eroded by the will from the Far East.
…
If it were Rebecca two years ago, she would have stuffed the barrel of the gun into Milo's mouth before Milo's claws touched her face.
But now she didn't say anything, she just gently pushed Milo's hand away.
Of course, another reason for not getting angry is that Rebecca has a lot of key information to tell Milo.
At least she thinks that is crucial.
"Listen to me, this is a game designed by Raven, he..."
"咻——————"
Before Rebecca could finish her words, the sound of shells breaking through the air from the dark sky in the distance was amplifying rapidly.
Both of them subconsciously looked up.
Then Milo bent down and put his arms around Rebecca's waist and legs to pick her up. Then he took a step back, and his whole figure retreated into the shadows along with Rebecca.
Next second.
Boom! ! !
The cannonball hit the deck where they were originally standing.
That was the artillery counterattack from He Fang's fleet.
This guy is so courageous. He went to war with the navy on Solomon's territory, as if he had never thought about how to leave this sea area.
He is now feeling like he is being attacked from both sides. On the shore, he has to guard the indigenous reservation to stop the dependents who work for Crow, and on the sea, he has to face the outflanking Solomon warships.
Despite this, Mr. He remained calm-faced.
Of course, asking is what Gu Mu meant.
…
…
Ashore.
As soon as Milo stood firm, Rebecca began to speak very fast again:
"That is the power of the 'Swollen Daughter Order'. Raven detained and tortured the believers of the monastery more than a month ago, forcing the Swollen Daughter to focus on this island. He must want to use the monastic order to do something What, I can touch very little, but I'm sure he made some kind of deal with the thing called the Swollen Daughter, I saw what that thing looked like, it...it..."
"Shh - I saw it too, don't panic."
Milo knew that once Rebecca spoke quickly like this, it meant that her mood was very unstable.
Milo knew what could scare Rebecca like this.
He put down Rebecca and turned to look at He Fang's position on the coastline:
"The thing you saw is at least the Old One level, but don't worry, it's not coming for us... and it's not the only Old One present tonight."
"What... "Rebecca was stunned for a second.
However, she didn't have time to say anything.
The dark sea water on the east side of the sea in the distance was once again lifted up by some kind of behemoth!
The terrible movement was as if the sea surface was being torn open. The liquid sea surface was knocked out of the water, making a sound that could only be made by the collapse of some kind of rigid object.
What was struck out from under the sea level seemed to be a ridge. Its huge outline and penetrating sharp thorns were rougher than the rocks on the shore. The firelight of the exploding shells in the distance shone over and was reflected on those rugged structures. It emits something close to the coldness and hardness unique to metal materials. The part above the water is a hundred meters long, and the highest spine is tens of meters long.
In addition, the surrounding waters are still in a state of constant trembling, and it seems that something is breathing at high frequency underwater...
…
Previously it was The Solomon battleship, which was about to fold and surround from the south to the east, was intercepted at once.
The artillery fire between the two sides suddenly stopped.
Whether it was the warships led by Sir Raffles in the distance or He Fang's fleet near the coast, they did not know what this "ridge" suddenly rose from the sea was about, but it was accompanied by the shaking of the sea water. With the sound, a deep sense of fear gripped the hearts of everyone on both sides at the same time.
......
On the shore, gunfire continued on the west side of the reservation.
Some of the Familia had already crossed the sea of fire and rushed into the formation of the "Swollen Daughter Monastery", but were quickly dismembered by dozens of sharp steel knives.
They have no time to pay attention to the situation on the sea. Compared with the battle situation here, the sea is in a strange dead atmosphere at the moment.
…
Around the huge rising "ridge", some fragmented corpses of deep divers slowly floated up. The words "Big Fat Woman" are tattooed on the skin below their torsos.
He was the victor in the previous battle between the Deep Divers.
But these deep divers who belonged to the Order of the Swollen Daughters were all dead at this time, and people on land did not even notice what was happening underwater...
As for that huge ridge, I think it was responsible for the loud noise coming from the sea not long ago.
Others may not recognize what it is, but Rebecca recognized it at first sight.
She stared blankly at the huge thorns that towered tens of meters above the sea level. What quickly emerged in her mind was what she saw in the illusion she briefly fell into when she passed the deep diver territory on the way in. Arrived - desert, stone pillars, giant beasts...
The rugged and hard thorns are the back and dorsal fins of the giant beast holding the stone pillars in the desert.
However, the illusion was surrounded by a desert, and there was no reference object in Rebecca's field of vision. She had no way of judging the specific size of the stone pillars and the giant beast.
At this moment, there was no need for Rebecca to figure out how big the behemoth's silhouette was hidden underwater.
Because in the next second, a huge tail fin and terrifying long claws with webs and scales were knocked out from under the water.
Buzz! ! ! ! !
In an instant, huge tsunami-like waves shattered the formations of Solomon’s army and the Monastery of the Swollen Daughter. Some ships hit the coastal reefs and were directly cut off. On the sea Screams and horrifying wails came one after another.
The waves rose high into the air, and after a long time they fell back to the sea under the influence of gravity, forming a brief heavy rain.
Behind the dense curtain of pouring rain, pupils that were almost as big as a ship glowed with a vague and weird blue light.
This giant beast is watching and examining all the creatures on the sea and shore.
…
Milo, who had met him once, was not surprised by its appearance.
That is the apostle of God called Dagon by the followers of the "Dagon Secret Cult".
It is also the "la! Dagon!" mentioned in the oath sung by Captain Allen and his Marsh family brothers.
In fact, the object of faith that most deep divers, especially those bloodline heirs and believers who have never embraced the ocean, can come into contact with is Dagon, not the one in R'lyeh deeper under the sea. That one.
"Dagon" has also been mentioned in many ancient books.
But each classic has a slightly different definition of Dagon.
Some people think that it is a servant of Allah in Raliya Mansion, serving one of the most ancient ones.
Some also believe that Dagon himself already belongs to the sequence of the Old Ones.
Of course, there are also classics that regard it as an "immortal large-scale deep diver", which is the final evolutionary form of the undead deep diver.
......
Although there are different opinions, the fear it brings to ordinary creatures is indeed comparable to the old days.
A thin crack appeared on the mouth of Milo's poor wine bottle, because there were too many people present at this moment, and the amount of fear caused by the old "blocked door" was too great. .
If it were not for the presence of the special shadow of Milo, perhaps Pohnpei Island tonight would become a hell on earth, because these people on the coast will definitely fall into madness, and the artillery in their hands will most likely be thrown at the residents of the island. District, completely destroying the maritime trade center that Solomon worked so hard to build.
And just as the Scarlet Witch said, Milo's existence itself is enough to change many things.
After fear is taken away.
He allowed more and more visionaries to be born in Nanwei City.
It also allows all the people on the shore and sea who are facing the past to maintain a sense of reason at this moment, instead of completely falling into madness and being dominated by fear.
...
The desire to survive took over.
Thus, it is very likely that the first large-scale conflict between humans and rulers in this era broke out.
The Swollen Daughter Order ship and the Solomon warship, which were engaged in a passionate exchange of fire just a few minutes ago, now turned their guns in tacit agreement and aimed at the terrifying creature behind the rain curtain on the sea.
…
"Are they... crazy..."
Rebecca was stunned for a long time.
The sea water splashed down from high altitude wetted her red hair and clothes.
She frowned and stared at the tiny warships on the sea that were shrouded in the shadow of Dagon.
The extremely weird atmosphere, as well as the mottled light and shadow penetrating through the rain curtain, make people breathless.
Suddenly, Rebecca seemed to realize something, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Milo.
However, Milo just shook his head calmly and said to her:
"I did not control them, and of course, I did not completely swallow up their fear."
Milo pointed at the broken warships and merchant ships on the sea and said:
"This is a choice that instinct drives them to make."
"Maybe...maybe sometimes fear is also a good catalyst, who knows."
…
Bang! ! !
After the sea water that was swept up into the sky was completely splashed, it was freed from the rain curtain, and the cannonballs on the battleship got a relatively clear view.
Then the sound of artillery fire exploded resolutely.
…
Probably similar to the urge to jump down that arises in the mind when a person is at a high place.
This is a kind of awareness of breaking away from the discomfort of fear, which can be understood as a forced intentional psychology. The instinctive hope to get rid of this bad predicament, but chooses a wrong way that the subconscious knows.
Jumping down can indeed end the fear of heights.
Firing at the giant beast would probably have the same effect.
However, we can also understand the scene before us from another angle.
That is something called "courage" that was once praised in traditional culture, but is despised today.
......
The sound of explosions and the sound of breaking through the air were heard on the sea one by one.
The situation is changing rapidly.
He Fang's fleet and Sir Raffles's battleships inexplicably joined forces.
Although sober people knew what would happen if they opened fire, neither He Fang on the shore nor Raffles on the battleship in the southern sea stopped him.
