"Everyone, I believe you all know my current situation. Both David Hasson and Ironhand Burt are full of malice towards me..."

Regarding the gathering of people and the next step of arranging defenses, Li Jiu couldn't say that I was cheating. He used the simulator to know what would happen tomorrow, so he had to proceed step by step.

The conflict at the port of Smouth and David Hazen's ambition to replace the Falk family have long been made public.

Everyone who joins Li Jiu's fleet understands the risks and dangers they will face.

So they already had some idea of ​​what Li Jiu was going to say.

"It's like this. I just received a message. Burt the Iron Hand will lead a fleet to attack us tomorrow morning." Li Jiu did not say how the news came, which would only increase his mystery.

.

Especially Sophie, although she is still wearing the black robe and has not shown her face, she is exposed, and the hand holding the wine glass is already showing her inner shock, and her delicate fingers are moving around.

Go, you must be thinking about this, right?

The expressions of the others were also different. Old John was calm, Toller was more respectful, and the ship's doctor, Hughes, and the navigator, Mad, were a little in awe.

Lord Baron, you are really so powerful.

"I wonder how many ships they have, how many people they have, and what configuration they have?" Toller is a practical person, so he directly asked for the key information.

After Li Jiu roughly said that, he paused and said: "These are not the key. The key is that David Hasson sent a third-level sea monster to help Iron Hand Burt. This is the most difficult thing."

Everyone was silent when they heard about the third-order sea monster.

In the third level, even if most of the people present are extraordinary people, there was once a strong man who didn't know what stage he had reached, but now, the indisputable fact is that the highest among them is Thorle, the thug of the second level sailor.

If a level three sea monster really gets on board, it will definitely be a nightmare scene.

"I did hear that David Hazen has a connection with the sea monster near Innsmouth. I didn't expect it to be true. He can also command a third-level sea monster..." Toller was a little confused.

He pondered, although he was brave and wise, he was already thinking about how to outsmart the sea monster.

"Is there really a sea monster? Isn't it all a legend?" The person who spoke was the ship's doctor, Hughes, who was born and raised in Innsmaus. He was not very sensible about the rumors about sea monsters since he was a child, and his parents were

Use this to scare him.

In fact, this should be a scary rumor widely circulated in Innsmouth, saying that sea monsters would climb ashore late at night and eat children. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

In this way, Li Jiu also obtained the rumors of sea monsters from the memory of his predecessor. The source of the rumors of sea monsters seems to have something to do with the Fogg family, because it is rumored that the ancestors of the Fogg family originally arrived in Innsbruck.

When they were in Sri Lanka, they had a battle with sea monsters, and finally reached some kind of agreement. The sea monsters were not allowed to go ashore, and the Fogg family fed them some food.

Li Jiu originally thought that the sea monster was brought from outside by David Hasson, but he didn't expect that it was still local.

"Actually... as for sea monsters, they should be regarded as belonging to evil spirits. Wouldn't it be useful to use the magic trap array?" At this moment, Sophie, who may have finished her brainstorming work, suddenly said, not very

Said something with certainty.

"Is it the Demon Trap Array of the Glorious God Sect? If it is that, it is indeed possible, because sea monsters, no matter what type they are, belong to the category of demons. The Demon Trap Array has a powerful restriction and weakening effect on evil spirits. When I was young, I was still in Beihai

When I was wandering, I saw an old missionary who used a magic trap and a berserker to trap and kill a fourth-level serpentine sea monster." When Toller heard Sophie's words, he immediately looked surprised.

Then he asked, "Is Miss Sophie an orthodox inheritance of the Glorious Religion?"

"Yes, I come from the Kingdom of Ohm." When she said this, Sophie, who was usually very cute, also sounded a little arrogant, naturally showing a sense of pride.

This is also normal. Only the Kingdom of Ohm officially recognizes the Shining God Religion as the state religion. The Shining God Religion in other regions is not so strong. Moreover, indeed, the Shining God Religion in the Ohm Kingdom has inherited the most theological knowledge and theological secrets.

, is a recognized orthodoxy.

"That's great. I'd like to ask Miss Sophie to help set up the Demon Trap Array." Toller's tone became more and more polite. A lady priest who inherited the orthodox inheritance of the Glorious Religion deserves respect.

Of course, the main reason is that she can save lives now.

"No problem, I just have the materials." Sophie naturally would not refuse, mainly because the Lord had already sent an oracle to tell Mr. Ince, so of course she had to actively cooperate.

That's right, in her mind, Li Jiu's source of information must be the oracle of the God of Glory. The Lord has pointed out the direction. As a loyal believer of hers, what else can she do?

She also felt more and more that her drifting to Innsmouth and encountering Li Jiu were no accident. Everything was God's will!

Of course Li Jiu didn't know that in just such a short period of time, Sophie had already finished playing out a theological classic in her mind. He was just quite surprised that the little silly girl he picked up casually turned out to be quite useful.

As expected of me, I know people with my sharp eyes.

Anyway, he would never admit that what he originally liked was that he couldn't see his toes when he lowered his head.

Sophie followed Toller to set up the magic trap formation, and everyone else also went to prepare for the battle.

In a maritime encounter, it is necessary to fight not only people and weapons, but also materials, logistics and medical care.

This is also the reason why he called Hughes and Mader.

If we know earlier and prepare medicine earlier, fewer people may die tomorrow.

"Old John, you go..." Li Jiu thought of another person at this time, the mole Luo Bo. Although this guy is a rat turd, he can easily ruin a pot of porridge. At this time, he still has to control himself to avoid his hands.

Is there any props that can be used to inform the outside props and let Iron Hand Burt know the news of their preparedness in advance? As a result, the third-order sea monster did not come, which would be troublesome.

If he could kill the third-level sea monster without any damage, it would be a serious injury to David Hazen, and Li Jiu would begin to gain the upper hand.

Old John was purely his own man, and now he was smarter. After learning that Robo was the traitor, he said he knew exactly what to do and left.

Li Jiu could finally take a breath. Although the shadow of death was still hovering, at least he had the means to deal with the sea monster. Let's fight the battle at sea first.

He mentally reviewed all the information on the ship, whether it was weapons, staffing, or supplies, he thought about it over and over again.

After all, this was his real first battle at sea, so it would be impossible to say he wasn't nervous.

But, the final winner can only be me.

Burt the Iron Hand, you'll love tomorrow's surprise.
