National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

[You have defeated a Lv7 Deep Sea Crab Mermaid and gained 160 Evolution Points]

Sheath the knife, reach out—

"break down."

Completed in one go, without stopping.

[Decomposition successful]

You have obtained: 30 Fresh Mermaid Meat (3 Days), 2 Tempered Claws

Quenched claws?

This sounds like good material!

Nathan swam gracefully to Captain Trigger and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner.

"Don't be nervous, friend. We are the Benevolent Society, and upholding justice is our mission."

"The Benevolent Society?"

never heard of that.

Captain Trigger clutched his chest, coughed violently a few times, and spat out a mouthful of bloody blister.

"Whoever you are, thank you for your help."

He said with relief, having survived the ordeal, "By the way, I am Sanpao, the third captain of the Silver Guard of the Deep Blue Kingdom."

...A good name.

In the middle of the market, the melee between the guards and the escaped prisoner, Yu, continued.

Ranzi swam past the corpse of the lavish crab, then glanced at Nathan, who instantly understood:

The boss is going to clear the area, so I'll try to get some information out of this Sanpao!

The bloodthirsty fugitives didn't notice that their leader had already become a victim of the "crab eight-piece" knife, and casually turned around to join the battle.

"Hurrah!"

Ivan, dragging the long handle of "Thoughts," swung it in a wide, sweeping semi-circle—

The two sea wolf mermaids, one on the left and one on the right, were cleaved into four pieces.

Klaus on the other side was quite restrained.

He didn't kill him, intending to save the final blow for Renyi.

Ever since the engineers inadvertently acquired extra evolution points for the mutated barracuda when they had nothing, they have paid extra attention to it.

Although he knew that Ren Yi wouldn't care now, for him, one thing was one thing.

[Newton] In his hands, it was parried and rammed.

Like an indestructible shield.

But the sneaky tentacles underneath were not behaving themselves.

Four were responsible for moving, three provided cover with bared teeth and claws, and the remaining one, carrying the newly acquired "Bob's Treasure" that hadn't even been warmed up yet, gently poked a hapless guy who was dazzled by the flashing lights.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

A tiny arc of electricity flashed by.

The unlucky guy convulsed, foamed at the mouth, rolled his eyes, and collapsed in mid-air.

Having more hands is definitely convenient...

Klaus nodded in satisfaction, then turned his attention to his next target—

Squid mermaid.

What class do you belong to? How come you have so many legs?

He quietly swam over and, with a swift motion, struck the creature's equally soft tentacle tip.

"Sizzle—!"

The squid that was hit by the lucky strike instantly straightened its legs and spat out ink.

Next!

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

"Sizzle—"

Klaus was having a great time when a silver-white blur swept past him, and a ghostly green blade flashed across the bandit's neck.

"Be careful, don't run out of power."

An arbitrary sound came from beside me.

Then a flash of blue light appeared, not an electric arc, but the light of decomposition, and the squid mermaid's body disappeared completely.

This thing paralyzes enemies if it hits them. If you accidentally miss, it triggers the [Bob's Baby] special ability 2: 100,000 Volts (all beings within a five-meter radius of the user are equal)...

Klaus's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the weapon.

"No way!"

The guards were already disoriented from the fighting, but the sudden appearance of several energetic reinforcements boosted their morale.

Who is this deity?!

Is it a case of the wicked eating the wicked?

According to the rules of the Deep Blue Kingdom, once someone surrenders or is captured and loses the ability to resist, the guards will only arrest and imprison them, and cannot execute them on their own.

Seeing that things were going badly, a mermaid with catfish whiskers immediately dropped his weapon and was about to raise his hands and kneel down to beg for mercy.

"I throw—whoosh!"

As a result... he had just opened his mouth when something slippery and bloody was shoved in, silencing him completely.

Lick it...

Is that a piece of fresh crab meat?!

The catfish fugitive's eyes widened like copper bells, emitting a desperate "woo woo woo" sound.

The next second, the cold blade sliced ​​across his neck.

"break down."

He drew his sword at will, turned around, and politely nodded to the guard who was fighting the catfish mermaid.

"You're welcome."

......

The wind swept away the remaining clouds.

The whole process took less than ten minutes.

After the last fugitive was cleaved in two by Ivan's axe, most of the remaining guards stared blankly at the empty battlefield.

...Where is the enemy?

This is not important.

But...where is the body?

Renzi stared at the pile of human-fish meat that had appeared in the system's warehouse and fell into deep thought.

He has a phobia of eating this meat.

But what if you fed it to cavemen...? They shouldn't be considered... one of us, right?

Apart from the scattered weapons and several pools of murky blood on the ground, the scene seemed as if the fierce battle just now was merely an illusion.

Only the lingering smell of blood in the air reminded the guards—

Everything is true.

"Is it... over?" a young guard murmured to himself.

The veteran next to him swallowed hard: "It seems... they completely devoured them..."

Meanwhile, Nathan's intelligence work on Sanpao's side was not neglected either.

"So, the eldest princess has now sealed off the inner palace with her men?"

He stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"That's right... Commander Hailong was sent to the sea to capture a fugitive and has not returned yet. The eldest princess has surrounded the palace completely, and not even a flying fish can get close to the sacrificial tower... The higher-ups said that the Golden Guard is enough to guard the area, and we are only responsible for the security of the lower city and the outer perimeter."

Just then.

Aurora, Carlos, and Sean, who were outside the battle zone, led the children over after the fight ended.

Captain Sanpao had just regained his footing with Nathan's help when he looked up—

"Pique! Rose!"

He recognized it at a glance as the treasure of his old friend Dirk's family!

The two masked men next to Piqué... wearing cloth bags, acting suspiciously, they didn't look like good fish at all.

Especially the one with the red tail, it was even holding a baby!

and many more......

Isn't that Dean?

"Shameless kidnappers!"

Sanpao roared, his heart leaping into his throat again. Ignoring his injuries, he grabbed the broken halberd and charged forward, yelling, "Let go of the child!"

This turn of events came unexpectedly.

Carlos instinctively retreated several meters, clutching his head with both hands.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Nathan quickly spread his arms to block him.

"Calm down, Captain Sanpao, we're on the same side!"

"One of our own?"

Who's a kind soul who wears a burlap sack when they go out?

Sanpao looked at him suspiciously. "Who are they? Why are they wearing masks?"

Nathan sighed dramatically, adopting a pained and regretful expression:

"Well, it's a long story. They were also members of our Benevolent Society. They suffered serious work injuries while protecting civilians, and their faces were so horrifying that they had to cover their faces so as not to frighten the flowers and plants in the city, especially the children."

"...Captain, you can't judge a fish by its appearance, don't you agree, Captain Three-Cannon?"

Yes, yes... but...

Captain Sanpao was skeptical.

But facing their savior who had just saved them, they were too unsure to question him, so they looked at Piqué, who was hiding behind Aurora.

"Pick, what are you doing here? Where are Mr. and Mrs. Dirk?"

(Thanks to the great sword that keeps me awake all night ٩(๑ᵒ̴̶̷͈᷄ᗨᵒ̴̶̷͈᷅)و)
