Episode 264. The Sea God
Kuung-!
A huge ship appeared on the water.
The roof was covered with iron decking and was covered with sharp thorns.
It had a shape that looked very much like a shell.
There were a lot of gates there.
At first glance, it looked sturdy, but what really stood out was its head. The head, which looked like either a turtle or a dragon, was attached to the front of the ship.
“A ship… … one ship.”
There were more than 20 enemy ships approaching from afar.
However, Ethan summoned only one ship.
Of course, Ethan’s ship was quite large and looked strong, but the enemy was vastly outnumbered.
Besides, there was no one to operate this ship right away.
Fishermen don’t need boats, so they don’t have any idea how to sail a boat.
Moreover, there were no people who knew much about naval warfare.
“… … .”
The King of Waterpia was silent. His head was starting to hurt quite a bit. But this was not the time to just be worrying about it.
Kuguguguguguung-!
Dozens of enemy ships were followed by follow-up ships.
Followers of the approaching moon, raising high their flags bearing the emblem of the Dawn Society.
This was another plan of the five apostles.
If by any chance he failed to instigate a war between Tartarus and Waterpia, he planned to start a war here and secure souls.
The King of Waterpia wanted to kill the Five Apostles right away, but he couldn’t.
It was because Ethan intentionally kept him alive.
It was natural that Ethan would not forgive the five apostles who did this, but his anger would not subside.
In a situation that was becoming increasingly urgent, Ethan quickly jumped onto the turtle ship.
The Pope urgently caught Ethan.
“Ethan, you can’t do this alone!”
Even the Pope could now see how strong Ethan was.
But even for Ethan, this was too much. There were over twenty ships at once. Each ship would probably have about a hundred people on board.
Fighting thousands of men alone?
And that too with just one ship?
Even with Ethan’s monstrous strength, it was a fight with a significantly low odds of winning.
No, it was safe to say that there was no possibility of victory. How could one take on dozens of giant ships with just one ship?
Even if Ethan were to pilot that ship alone, it was clear that he wouldn’t be able to fight back properly.
Since the outcome was obvious, the Pope strongly advised Ethan not to do it.
But at the same time, the Pope was also at a loss as to how to deal with the situation.
There is no way they will come down to Waterpia and fight. They will take up positions far away and fire shells. In that case, the only option we have is defense.
The wizards will be able to counterattack occasionally, and the Pope will also attack from a distance, but that alone has its limits.
“It’s okay. I’ll take care of it. Please take good care of the Five Apostles. I didn’t kill them right away on purpose, so please make sure that others don’t kill them.”
“Are you trying to save me? At interest?”
“No way.”
Ethan smiled.
“I just don’t intend to kill you nicely.”
Ethan said that and went straight into the turtle ship.
“Ugh… … .”
The king of Waterpia let out a heavy sigh when he saw that sight.
One ship against dozens of enemy ships.
In fact, the future of Waterpia depended on Ethan.
I never thought that the complacency that came from being intoxicated with geographical advantage and not considering external enemies would come back to haunt us like this.
“I can’t just leave it like this….”
The situation was that the actions of the guy who opened a crack in Waterpia and made fun of all the people in Waterpia were left to outsiders from beginning to end.
The king trembled with humiliation and anger.
“Knights of Pia!”
Although there are no ships, the sea is a stage for fishermen.
At the king’s call, the Knights of Pia rallied their ranks.
Most of the Knights of Pia had suffered serious injuries from the Five Apostles, but they had recovered their strength thanks to the Pope’s treatment.
“We enlist the support of Ethan Wickers, our benefactor in Waterpia! The enemy has dozens of ships. The odds of winning are significantly slim! However… … .”
“I follow your orders!”
“I follow your orders-!”
It was a life that had already been saved once. The Knights of Pia jumped into the sea without any hesitation.
“after.”
The king squeezed his eyes shut against the headache and tapped his forehead with his index finger. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he snapped his fingers.
Then his armor, helmet, and trident came into being.
Soon, the king of Waterpia, armed, raised his trident high and shouted.
“I will take the lead.”
“Your Majesty! No!”
“It’s dangerous!”

Captain Pia, who was about to jump in after the knights, waved his hand. He also knew. He had no chance of winning this battle against dozens of ships.
Nevertheless, the king of Waterpia jumped into the sea.
“We decide our own destiny! We will do what we can!”
As the King of Waterpia stood at the forefront, the morale of the Knights of Pia rose.
The fishermen of Waterpia, impressed by the king’s shouts, jumped into the sea one by one.
Splash-! Splash-! Splash-!
A large number of fishermen, excluding those who were injured, jumped into the sea. In an instant, more than a thousand fishermen were floating in the sea.
“We will join forces here!”
The Aeolian wizards had already consumed all the potions they had.
Shaaaaah-!
“Let’s join forces and drive them out!”
The fishermen braced themselves with determination at the king’s shout.
And at the same time, Ethan’s turtle ship began to move.
Swaaaaaaahh …
The turtle ship’s speed as it advanced through the rough waters was much faster than that of a regular ship.
“uh?”
“… … ?”
The king of Waterpia, who was trying to follow the turtle ship moving forward alone, stopped in his tracks. It was not only because of the speed, but also because the turtle ship had no intention of keeping pace.
Boom-!
And then something unbelievable happened.
* * *
“Finally, finally.”
“It’s time to show your abilities. With this incident, I will definitely impress the Five Apostles and be promoted to an executive position.”
“If you become an executive, you will be able to obtain more of the power that Mother Moon gives you.”
“I heard that the 12th and 11th apostles are missing.”
“We’re right there… … Hehe.”
There were three men leading this fleet. Two of them were renowned pirates in the nearby waters, and the other was the vice-governor who commanded the navy of the Holy Empire.
Of course, I was currently out of that place and operating the Dawn Meeting fleet in earnest.
Although they came from different origins, they clearly had something in common.
All three had almost never lost at sea.
The First Order’s three, who have tremendous authority when it comes to the seas, have come to lead the fleet themselves.
It would be safe to say that the situation was already over unless the god of the sea himself descended upon this place.
Even taking a seat was much faster on this side, so the initiative was also on this side.
These three were favored by the five apostles, and were now just one step away from becoming executives. They planned to achieve certain results through this and all become core members of the Dawn Society.
It was only natural that the three of them had bright expressions, as the opportunity for social advancement that they had long awaited was right before their eyes.
“Let’s handle this quickly and go get the Five Apostles.”
The fleet of the Five Apostles advanced. Waterpia was visible in the distance, rising above the water.
“check it.”
“yes.”
Shaaaaak-.
One of the believers used magic to check the status of Waterpia.
“There is no reaction whatsoever.”
“There’s no way there’s a ship. What kind of ship would there be in a city under the sea? This is like blowing your nose without even touching it.”
“Speed up!”
If the other side has no means of resistance, it is best to end it quickly.
“The Five Apostles are people who can easily dodge cannon fire. So, don’t worry about the Five Apostles’ safety!”
“yes!”
“Prepare to fire the cannons!”
“Prepare your magic shot!”
Operation Crash.
The main goal of this operation was to sink the Waterpia that had floated above the water back into the sea.
As the gate opened, the wizards on deck activated their artifacts.
Gooooosh-!
The entire fleet was enchanted. The fleet’s sailing speed was greatly increased, and the abilities of everyone on board were enhanced.
At the same time, flames gathered on the deck.
Aside from the cannons, the fireballs fired by the wizards were also the ship’s main weapon.
“Excuse me, First Order.”
At that time, a believer who was observing the situation at Waterpia said.
“Yes, no matter what, there will be resistance. Even if there are no ships, there will be wizards. Report.”
“A ship has appeared.”
“One? That’s funny. And it’s funny that only one came out.”
“But the shape is a little strange.”
“Since they are fishermen, they probably wouldn’t have made a proper ship. Since they are fishermen’s ships, they are interesting.”
And the reports continued.
“The fishermen are jumping into the sea. They seem to be trying to fight with their bare hands.”
“Huh, you’re going to attack us naked? Do you think you’re monsters? You guys are stupid.”
“There must be hundreds, if not thousands.”
“Does not matter.”
Rather, it’s good. After clearing out the cannons, you can take care of all the guys who resist.
Thanks to the speed increase by magic, the distance to Waterpia has become closer.
Then another report came in.
“The enemy ships are moving!”
“Enemy ships are advancing this way!”
“Who are they?”
“Those people… … .”
The believer who was reporting looked surprised.
“The enemy ship, a turtle-shaped ship, is rushing towards us! The fishermen are unable to keep up!”
“Wahahahaha-!”
“Like a moth to a flame!”
“Show me the hot taste!”
“yes!”
Squeak-.
The cannons were aimed directly at the enemy ships.
But at the same time as the aim was taken, the turtle-shaped enemy ship gained even more speed.
“huh?”
The enemy ships were so close that even the First Order could see them with their own eyes, showing how fast they were going.
“What is that… … .”
It wasn’t the speed the ship could handle.
Wheaaa …
Boom-!
The enemy ships quickly cut through the water and rammed the most advanced ship in the wide-open battle line.
The ship was completely torn apart when the ship hit the side.
Although the size of the Dawn Society’s ship was much larger, it was the friendly ship that was split in half and destroyed.
“… … !”
“What, that ship with a turtle-shaped head collided with our vanguard! The vanguard was completely destroyed!”
The enemy ship that had just destroyed the vanguard picked up speed once again. Then, in an instant, it came between the ships and stopped abruptly.
Kukugugu-!
At the same time, all the enemy ships’ ports were opened.
And immediately, cannons were fired in all directions.
Boom-! Boom-! Boom-!
“Intercept!”
“Fire the cannon!”
The ships of the Dawn Society also began to return fire in response to the enemy ships’ cannon fire.
Kuguguguguguung-!
The sea was filled with smoke with a loud noise.
“You idiot! You had good momentum, but you went into the middle of enemy territory alone?”
Perhaps the enemy ship would have turned into rags and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
The First Order waited for the smoke to clear, smiling confidently.
But at that moment, something began to glow in the smoke.
“… … What!?”
It was snow.
The turtle’s head’s eyes glowed red and its mouth opened wide.
Whoosh whoosh!
And then the flame cannons were fired.
