Chapter 395: Second island, intercept preparation
With the enemy's shadow gone, we are finally relieved of our tension. Then I told the command center that we were able to withdraw from the island.
Good work. Everyone is thanking you
I'm glad to hear it, but the situation is serious
I've been informed. That the enemy is impossible to defeat even with the sacred attribute. But I'm sure we'll be able to defeat it
Yes. There must be a way to defeat it. I just don't know what it is.
The boss is Davy Jones. I heard that he survived even though his body was dismembered
Is Davy Jones the guy with the squidgy face?
That's the movie. In this game, he is a demon with a fish tail
A demon with a fish tail? Like Lian? I began to feel sick, so I gave up my imagination. But the fish reminded me.
Ah...wasn't it originally a demon believed in among sailors?
You know it well. Davy Jones's prison is famous. They say that sunken ships and drowned people were sent to Davy Jones' prison
So is it the bottom of the ocean that is suspicious?
That would make sense. The pirate ships came out of the bottom of the sea, so we conclude that there is something there. It's just that...
I feel Ruin-san's bitter look.
Is the damage still considerable...
Yes...we lost at least four gun boats. The damage to other vessels is also extensive. The death toll is about 150...Mangetsus group, as well as Yoichis group are also dead
The damage was much greater than expected...no, it was a good thing that the damage was limited to that. We could have been wiped out.
The gun boats that survived will now be repaired by Yugs group. But we don't have enough wood, so we'll have to repair it over here
I calculate the time......good.
I have an idea, is that okay?
What is it?
The second island and the first island...why don't we take the plunge and throw them away?
Eeh!?nove(l)bi(n.)com
Even Ruin-san seemed surprised.
...What do you think they're trying to do?
As long as we can't use the gun boats, we are at a disadvantage. Then I think it would be a good idea to set a trap on the second island and find a way to attack. And on the first island, we are all gathered
That's a bold move...we'll discuss it
Please do
In the meantime, I ask Lily and the others if they have noticed anything. Lily tells me something important.
"Do you know what time they moved?"
"It was 13:00"
That would mean the earliest they could get here would be 15:00, the first island at 17:00 and the base island at 19:00. In reality, it would take longer because we would set a trap here. If that's the case, I have a pretty good idea of what the enemy is aiming for. I call Cosette and Felt who are scouting.
It's Takuto. How is the magic fog?
The pirate ships are proceeding through the magic fog
The magic fog seems to be fixed around the third island
"...I see. Thanks for your help. You want to log out, don't you? I'll send a replacement, please return"
Tyrol and Aroma took their place.
Now, let's start preparing for the trap with the assembled members.
First, we drew the topography of the cave on paper based on everyone's information. We actually went there to confirm any uncertain information. Now this map would be almost correct. And it turned out to be a fairly large limestone cave. It was very helpful.
"It's easier to understand if you write it down on paper~"
"If we want to set a trap, here and here is good"
"We can go here and here, too, degozaru"
We all came up with a plan for the trap and I explained the strategy I had decided on.
"As one would expect Takuto-dono...dont be merciful, degozaru"
"You use the wall training so...this is very cruel"
"But...it seems like fun"
"Alchemists have not been in the spotlight for a long time~"
Apparently, everyone agreed with me. Immediately, Hokage-sans group, Setia, Aranea, Iyuki and Mir went to set up the trap. We don't have much time.
After a while, information comes from Lara and a female summoner who changed scouting roles with Tyrol and Aroma. The enemy seems to have anchored and launched small boats.
The enemy ship has disappeared from sight!
Probably a small craft
As I thought...those small boats are used for landing as well as for surprise and night raids.
Thank you very much for your efforts. I'll take over as watchman. You two, take your posts
Understood!
I tell everyone.
It's our timing and our coordination that will decide the game. Let's show these pirates how scary we can be!
Oo~!!
Thus began the defense of the second island.
