Golden Lighthouse (2)
To some, it was something to protect, but to others, it was just an object to harvest.
Barbossa’s crew was smiling brightly as they watched the dwarves floating on the sea.
To them, who did not see people as people, dwarves wandering around with no place to go were nothing more than shiny gold coins.
“Those aren’t all dwarves!”
“haha! “This is a bonanza!”
But maybe it was because I was excited about the unexpected harvest.
They did not recognize a single boat that was slowly breaking away from the group.
No, even if I had noticed, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to it.
Because the ship approaching them now seemed too small and insignificant to look threatening.
“……what?”
In an instant, a sparkling light began to shine on the excited sailors.
Even though it was midday, the light shined brightly, and although it was small, it had enough sparkle to be mistaken for a lighthouse standing in the harbor.
The twinkling light was getting closer and closer.
Aboard a small boat that I had ignored because it was unsightly.
The ship cutting through the sea was heading straight towards them.
※※※※
“Aaaah!”
“too! too fast!”
“Are the squid, squid, crazy!”
It feels like I’m riding on a silver ledge.
The sea was supposed to be blue, but the surface of the water that the Zemina was now stepping on was full of silver.
Even Barbossa’s ships in the distance looked perplexed by the light produced by the swarms of glowing squid.
“Off!”
A speed that would make even experienced sailors grit their teeth.
The swollen sail was already flapping as if it were going to tear, and the headwind was so strong that it was difficult to breathe.
“Everyone hold on tight!”
The Gemina was moving forward as if it was slipping on ice, but contrary to what it looked like on the outside, the impact the crew had to endure was violent.
Josef’s face had already turned pale due to the vibrations that were enough to upset even elves with a good sense of balance.
Quang! bang! bang!
“Attack on enemy ships! “It’s a cannonball!”
Black dots began to fly from Barbossa’s ships, which he noticed belatedly.
At the ominous explosion heard from afar, Haven’s eyes, hidden beneath the captain’s hat, began to shine sharply.
“Hmm!”
Nod-! Nod!
An ominous sound was heard from the steering wheel being forced to turn.
It was the scream of the Gemina, which was unable to overcome its speed.
pop! pop! slam!
Barbossa’s cannonballs narrowly missed despite all his might.
Even Varadis, who never lost his composure, swallowed his saliva as he watched the shells falling right next to him.
“under! haha!”
Everyone on the boat was contemplating, but Haven was smiling broadly.
When was the last time I jumped on my own two legs?
It felt like the memories of that time, which I couldn’t even remember anymore, were slowly waking up as the wind blew as if it were tearing me apart.
“everyone! “Prepare for impact!”
Squeak! Good!
There were ominous creaking sounds all over the ship.
It was the scream of Gemina, exhausted, broken, and tasked with a mission too great for her abilities.
However, Haven believed that the Red Rose would definitely do it until the end.
“It’s crashing!”
“Aaaah!”
The wind blown by Mystery and the waves generated by the spirits finally shot the Zemina like a cannonball.
Even Barbossa’s crew could not help but stare in fascination at the sudden acceleration.
Quang! Kwazijijijik-!
The two ships collided with a loud explosion-like sound and began to sway greatly.
The small but strong Lady managed to blow a large hole in the invader’s side.
“Everybody jump in!”
“Aaaah!”
“He’s not dead! “I’m not dead yet!”
Sailors began to jump forward on the sinking Gemina.
By riding on the bridge created by the frontmost hanging horn.
The sharp forward angle was adding strength to their charge.
[What did you tell them to do to suppress the momentum?]
And there was a view of their charge from the top of the collapsing watchtower.
It was a look from a man whose body was covered in traces of the collapsing Jemina.
“…Gorgeously!”
The pier reached the dock, but the tilted watchtower of the Gemina was sinking toward the enemy deck.
As it was slowly collapsing, a shiny golden thing fell down.

At the same time, the sword swings sharply.
The sword’s path was pointed precisely at the enemy captain who was holding the steering wheel.
“This is crazy!”
The captain’s eyes, which were looking up, were filled with light.
Two people who had become closer through looking at each other passed each other by.
Because there was only one path drawn by the sword, and only one person could stand on it.
Push shoo shoo!
The captain was slowly falling apart beneath the blood that had been cut vertically.
The moment that passed by was fleeting, and the light that arrived was a gorgeous golden color.
“…I am Vlad of Shoara.”
The mast of the Zemina, which fell down, landed on the deck with a crashing sound.
However, Vlad did not show any pity towards her as she collapsed.
“I will not listen to any excuses from you guys who invaded the North.”
What you need to bring is only the name, not the shabby form.
A chilling aura began to flow from Vlad, who was wearing the red rose banner.
※※※※
There are a total of 5 enemy ships.
Seeing the Jemina stuck in the flagship, they were so embarrassed that the ships quickly began to approach nearby.
“Hmph!”
Another sailor lost his head due to the heavy swing of the axe.
The dark-skinned man hiding in the dark was not something that could be recognized even if someone was watching.
“Haven!”
“…Don’t worry about me, just do what you have to do!”
Otar screamed as he looked at Haven, whose left leg was bleeding, but they had no time now.
“It’s now or never!” “Everyone, take your seats!”
Enemies and sailors mixed in confusion under the cramped dock.
The elves and Xayar were doing well, but no matter how good they were, they wouldn’t be able to block the artillery fire coming from afar.
“Ready shooter! “Lift up the wick!”
Haven had lost his staff and was rolling around helplessly, but he was still clutching the captain’s hat he was wearing.
Although the ship was lost, the captain’s duty was not yet over, and Haven was the one who had to somehow make a way for his passengers.
“launch!”
“Fire shells!”
“Captain, fire!”
Endless repetitions amidst chaotic screams.
The crew of the Zemina, who had captured the enemy’s cannons, began to scream as loud as they could at the approaching ships.
pop! Puff! pop!
A distance that cannot be avoided because it is so close.
Acrid smoke filled the sky with debris flying everywhere.
The enemy ships, who had never expected the dock to be captured in such a short time, helplessly gave up the flank.
“Don’t stop! “Keep firing!”
From now on, only quick hands will be able to save themselves.
The ships, realizing that the flagship had been captured, slowly began to open their guns.
The sparkling tips of the cannons were aimed at the sailors from both sides.
“Emergency rise!”
At the moment, one of the enemy ships that had finished aiming began to tilt sharply.
This is because it was mercilessly pushed up by something like a sunfish jumping up from under the sea.
pop! Boom boom! pop!
Enemy shells that had lost their angle began to soar into the sky in vain.
With Haven’s command echoing along with it, fire began to spew out from the dock.
One flying shell and one scream from someone.
Torn bodies were falling to the bottom of the sea.
-…….
Bubbles were rising above the slowly sinking bodies.
It was a bubble coming out of the darkness of the deep sea, where not a single ray of light shined through.
The hazy bubble containing someone’s breath was reaching out its hand toward the golden lighthouse shining on the surface of the water.
Although the color it had was different, it was like a resonance in a very old memory.
※※※※
“I can’t move forward because of the chains!”
“Take a detour.”
“Impossible! “There are reefs everywhere!”
Barbossa scratched his head as if troubled by the reports he heard.
It seems that the reason why he fought back desperately even though he was somehow no match for him was for the present.
“…You’re so bold.”
Barbossa looked at the ship in front of him and laughed as if it were absurd.
A ship equipped with a strange watermill constantly lured them here.
Although its current appearance was shabby due to shells, Nidavellir’s flagship eventually succeeded in completing its mission.
“They say there is no iron armor under the ship.”
“It’s a good thing to hear.”
His forehead was full of blood from being stabbed by a shrapnel.
However, Olmukar was just smiling as if he was pleased with the report he heard.
“Tell the submarines. “Drill a hole under their ship.”
“All right.”
Although these submarines were built for work, not combat, it would have been easier to drill a hole under the ship.
These were submarines originally built to extract ores from under the sea.
Coo! thud!
“Duke! “Under the boat now!”
“Oops. “Now I won’t be surprised if something pops up.”
The crew became anxious at the ominous sound coming from underneath the ship, but Barbossa the Golden Ball simply shrugged his shoulders.
A strange sunfish swimming under the sea on a boat that moves on its own without the wind.
In addition, there are chains that are persistently tied between the reefs.
Barbossa grew tired of the dwarves’ preparations as they struggled to survive.
“They say there’s nothing tougher than a dwarf’s beard… but just looking at the cancer, those guys are crazy.”
However, Barbossa’s obsession with gold is closer to madness.
He had cold gold coins flowing inside his body instead of red blood, and all the dwarves’ propaganda seemed like shining gold coins.
“oh my. Count. Now that the situation is like this, what should I do? “I feel so sad too.”
Barbossa, who acknowledged that there was nothing he could do, decided to use one of the preparedness measures he had brought with him.
It was originally prepared for the Dragon Blood Ball, but it was unavoidable in the current situation.
“……May a curse be upon you and the Barbossa family.”
“Is that Salvaraj’s last will?”
The middle-aged man who was tied up with rope was looking at him with murderous eyes, but the golden ball Barbossa just stared at the dagger he had drawn as if nothing had happened.
Any dog that was defeated was bound to bark like the man did now, and Barbossa had heard such empty threats many times.
“Now, saying things like that doesn’t really impress me. “Inspiration.”
“Oops!”
Barbossa lightly slit the man’s throat with a familiar hand gesture.
The last drops of Salvaraj’s blood were falling from the tip of the dagger he was holding.
Deeudeeudeeudeuk-!
Every time Count Salvaraj’s eyes lost their light, a violent vibration began to echo from the ship next to him.
It was a box that had been tightly sealed with silver chains.
“…Just like I heard, he’s starting to run amok.”
However, the chains that seemed to last forever were now rusting rapidly.
This was because they could no longer keep their noble oath because they had lost the oath that was passed down through blood.
The southern bloodline that had kept the oath from long ago until now was eventually cut off by a ruthless pirate.
Following the ominous sound of the box, the shadow under the sea was getting darker.
That shadow had been held by a being that had followed the dragon’s fragment from the south.
※※※※
There was an old man looking at the sea from the edge of a cliff on Lemnos Island.
Those who could not fight took refuge, and all the warriors who could fight left for the battlefield, leaving the island empty, but Rukhta was determined to protect this forge.
Even if you are an insignificant old person, you have a duty to keep until the end.
“What the hell is that…”
Rukhta remained with such a firm resolve, but the sight she was seeing now was difficult for her to accept.
The sea was crying.
Because something difficult to handle is rising from beneath oneself.
Nidavellir’s ships were shaking dangerously from that huge howl.
Like a pitiful leaf that seems ready to turn over at any time.
“…Oh my god.”
A hoarse voice came out of Rukhta’s mouth.
A gigantic sight that I could not believe was unfolding before my eyes.
It was a sight that even he, who had lived for a long time, could not dare to bear.
Geaaaaaa-!
There was a dragon that raised its head as it tore through the sea.
It was a being so huge that its extended head reached the sky.
It was so loud that even the sky covered itself with clouds.
“The biggest…dragon.”
The largest dragon, Leviathan.
The largest of the perfect dragon traces was now appearing in the waters off Lemnos Island.
