Chapter 1455 A Tough Battle

And those in the Control room gritted their teeth, hiding their anxiousness. 

[You have the go-ahead.]

”Copy that, your majesty. Deploying Omega 15 missiles!”

Receiving word from Landon on deck, the Captain wasted no time commanding his men. 

”Deploy the Omega 15s!”

Don’t think that an explosion from below wouldn’t hurt them above. 

Anything more, and they would risk damaging their ships.

The chemical reaction from the explosive, as well as the water pressure and forces, could create a hole in their already sturdy ships if they used anything too deadly. 

Of course, if their ships had been built with enhanced metal parts, that would be a different matter altogether. 

For now, their ships were still at risk. 

Even if they were to shoot a big one at an enemy, that said enemy had to be far out of their calculated damage range. 

Tick-Tock. Tick-!

Time seemed to freeze in place with burdening tension on everyone’s shudders. 

Their breathing became hoarse, and the abrupt war zone was even more terrifying than before.

And seated on one of the numbers seats was a Sinju, a newbie Double-S class mission taker.

Yes! Though he had taken other missions before, this was his first time on a Double-S-class mission.

He was both nervous and eager to make contributions.

Holding the joystick, his hands trembled, and his body quaked with worry. 

’Come on, Sinju. You’ve got this. Though you’ve never had an opportunity to test this out, you’ve had training on what to do… Come on… Come on….’

He moved his trembling joystick, locking position on the constantly swimming boggle.

And soon, it was time for him to show his mastery. 

”Fire!!!”

Click. 

Sinju pressed the red buttons at the tip of his joystick. 

[Missile deployed!]

The words popped out in red above his attack screen. And soon, he saw the green dot he targeted turn flash red.

Sinju’s body trembled in excitement.

It was a good solid hit!!

And though the missile launched was nowhere near enough to kill the boggle, this much made him happy. 

But according to their estimate, one boggle might need 5~7 shots to die. 

This couldn’t be blamed on the missiles being weak. 

No… The 2-Tail Boggle was born with a sturdy outer skin that was impossible to slice off with a few blade strikes. 

It was too tasking to do so. 

That’s why even when such boggles were successfully captured with a string of luck, the butchering method involved the bucket going into the boggles body to slice it off from within. 

The outer skin was very sturdy. And this was why its skin was regarded as a precious military item. 

After drying its skin and doing a few finishing touches, some combined this with leather to make an excellent worth sheath, while others wore it underneath their armor during battle. 

Tsk. 

To kill so many was truly unfortunate. 

But what could they do? Their survival was at stake here!

Nonetheless, his majesty had said if the creatures ran off, they were to let them go. But if they proved tough, then it was indeed their fate to die!!

.

Boom! 

The States blow turned orange, bubbling and bursting dangerously. 

And for a moment, it began to rain fish. 

Fish of all kinds flew into the air and onto their decks. 

The fish-salty smell in the air was pungent.

But no one cares about this. 

”Captain! More are entering the radar zone!”

Someone exclaimed. 

And sure enough, many quite a few more boggles from the deep dark depths below were swimming upwards. 

They didn’t dare to enter the flashes of heated orange chaos. 

But only swam at a safe distance as though waiting for an opportune moment to strike or eat the injured fishes. 

Provided they didn’t plan to harm the ships, those aboard would also let them go. 

”Some of you keep an eye out for them. The test of you to focus on the battle ahead.”

~Grrrrrawww!!!~

The injured 2-tail boggles cried out in hatred!

If they were humans, they would be described as a petty bunch that held grudges. 

You would think they would flee after such an attack. But that would be wrong. 

An eye for an eye!

Even if they couldn’t deal with those aboard, they still wanted to do some damage to the ships!

Bam!

The left bottom side of the ship jumped into the air as though almost overturning.

What????!

For a moment, Landon saw the famous titanic scene happen right before his eyes. 

Luckily they were all started onto the rails. Or else wouldn’t some fall off the ships?

De-De-De-De-De-De~

Those on the stationed weapons began shooting at the jumping boggles like crazy.

”Ahhhhhhhhh~”

They screamed while launching their attacks, moving their weapons from left, right, and around them. 

Doe you pieces of sh**!

De-De-De-De-De!~

They seemed to be going crazy in this moment of truth. 

However, one of them soon froze before unbuckling himself and jumping out. 

Bam!

A boggle’s tail smacked the stationed weaponry, completely uprooting it from the ground.

The massive weapon flew off the ship and into the waters on the other side. 

F***!

The one who jumped out had cold sweat, thanking his lucky stars for his quick thinking. 

If he had delayed for just a second longer, that could’ve been him sinking in the waters. 

Of course, with how heavy the machine was, it would definitely sink to the bottom. So no one worried about it getting found or fished out.

Maybe hundreds and thousands of years, it would be a lost historical treasure.

But for now, this was not their focus.

The big holes were angry. And those both below and above were engaging ruthlessly.

And once, Landon realized how significant metal enhancement was.

Dammit!

Landon began pulling, rolling up his sleeves while holding the rails.

What was he going to do?

Many who spotted him inwardly wanted to ask. 

But before they could say anything, his majesty left them with only 2 sentences. 

”Stop all missile attacks below the main ship and focus on those above the surface.”

Plop~

Everyone watched everything happen before their eyes in a faze. 

Did… Did their leader just jump into that hell hole?
