Using the light of the lighthouse, Kal'tsit looked towards the sea. In that dark and calm ocean, a huge terror seemed to be brewing.
Kanna jumped to Kal'tsit's side, stood on the fence, and looked out along Kal'tsit's gaze.
Compared to Kal'tsit, she could see more clearly. In the sea, a huge creature was slowly approaching Rock Bay Town, and countless Seaborn were distributed around it, protecting its huge body like escort ships on the side of an aircraft carrier.
"Ten kilometers away, about 500 meters below the ocean, there's a big guy coming! But it's swimming very slowly. At this speed, it will probably be at the seaside by tomorrow morning."
As a lookout, Kanna naturally reported the information she had obtained to Kal'tsit.
"Only one giant beast?" Kal'tsit narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, looking in the direction of the coast.
"Of course not just one, there are also Seaborn, many Seaborn." Kanna took over the conversation.
"Is there any way to stop them?" The Tower Keeper, who was on the side, hurried over after hearing the conversation between Kanna and Kal'tsit and asked, looking at the sea.
Kanna shook her head, "They are all in the sea, so I don't have any good way to deal with them."
Just when the Tower Keeper was disappointed, Kal'tsit understood Kanna's implication.
"How far from Rock Bay Town do you estimate that the giant beast will surface?" Kal'tsit asked.
Kanna raised her hand and made a three, "I took a look. Although Rock Bay Town is close to the sea, this coastline is not a good port location. The seabed at three kilometers will quickly rise to less than 100 meters above sea level. If that big guy doesn't want to scrape its belly, it will definitely choose to surface."
Hearing Kanna's words, Kal'tsit asked again, "Is there a way to control that big guy at sea?"
Kanna instantly understood Kal'tsit's meaning, "Are you talking about using that trick? It's possible, but I'm not very skilled and could easily pull Rock Bay Town in as well."
Kal'tsit nodded and shook her head again, "Rock Bay Town is a seaside city, and the sea has a strong absorption capacity, so you don't have to worry about the impact of rain. In that case, I will have Ilena immediately notify everyone along the coast to evacuate inland, and then we will set up a defense line here, under the lighthouse. The terrain here is high and the terrain is more suitable for defense. You block that giant beast and as many Seaborn as possible at sea, and we will solve the rest. Is there any problem?"
Kanna thought for a moment, "I don't have any problem, I'm just afraid that too many will slip through and you won't be able to stop them."
"I will find a way to solve those that slip through. You just need to block as many as you can!" Kal'tsit's tone was rarely firm.
"Wait... Ms. Kal'tsit, are you planning to let this child face the monster in the sea alone?"
At this time, the Tower Keeper on the side felt more and more that something was wrong and asked.
Kal'tsit patted Kanna's head and said to the Tower Keeper with a serious face,
"Don't worry, Tower Keeper, although Kanna looks rash, she is an indispensable part of me and Rhodes Island. I will not let Kanna do something that will lead to death. On the contrary, only Kanna can block the strongest point of the opponent overseas. As for the method, you will know when the time comes."
Unexpectedly, Kal'tsit would give herself such a high evaluation. Thinking that she had tricked her many times along the way, Kanna felt a little guilty.
"I don't agree!" Ilena's voice came from the headset.
"Although I don't know what you see, I want to tell you that the giant beasts in the sea are far more terrifying than you can imagine." As an Inquisitor, Ilena knows a lot about the sea. Some of this information comes from Iberia's notes after fighting the ocean, and some comes from the information passed down from generation to generation by the Aegir, but these messages reveal one thing: every giant beast is the overlord of the ocean, and it is an existence that land creatures cannot resist with their flesh and blood.
At this time, her only thought was to evacuate the entire city. While there was still a night, she wanted to evacuate everyone from Rock Bay Town.
Even if the Seaborn occupied this place, they would still be able to take it back after The Inquisition had assembled its troops.
After all, the giant beast would not be out of the ocean for too long. If only Seaborn were left, they could push the opponent back into the sea little by little.
"Impossible!" Kal'tsit opened her mouth to deny Ilena's proposal, because Rock Bay Town was not a small place, and they did not have enough manpower. It was simply unrealistic to evacuate the entire Rock Bay Town in one night. Moreover, under the circumstances that nothing had happened, the possibility of evacuating the entire town at night was almost zero. The only way left in front of them was to clear the coastline, and then use the lighthouse as a stronghold to block these guests from the deep sea at the seaside.
Finally, Ilena agreed after a long silence, because she also knew that her method was difficult to succeed. The only result of doing so would be to push the lives of most of the residents of Rock Bay Town to the monsters of the deep sea.
Since she had made a choice, Ilena was also a person of action and quickly arranged it.
The doors of the residents along the coast were knocked open one by one. Among the cursing of these people, Ilena notified the police to tell them that a tsunami would hit Rock Bay Town, and all coastal residents would evacuate to the inland direction of Rock Bay Town.
The residents who were still a little unhappy after hearing this reluctantly packed their luggage and then pulled their drowsy families to the inland direction.
Over there, Dona led people to clean up the Monastery again to receive those who were forced to leave.
Just as everyone was preparing for the upcoming battle, a static 'chatter' came through the headphones, followed by a clear, cold voice.
"Is that Kal'tsit? It's me, Skadi."
"It's me."
"Your current position is very dangerous. I recommend immediate retreat."
"I can't retreat. Behind me are the residents of an entire town."
After a moment of silence,
"Then wait. I'll be there in three hours at most."
With that, Skadi on the other end hung up the comms.
"It seems we have reinforcements." Kal'tsit shook the communicator in her hand.
"But is Skadi really okay?" Kanna hadn't forgotten Skadi's background.
"Of course. While Skadi is inland to avoid those monsters, don't forget she is an Abyssal Hunter from Aegir, an existence specifically designed to deal with these deep-sea monsters. When there's no way to avoid them, her sword isn't just for show."
Unexpectedly, there would be unexpected reinforcements. Kal'tsit's expression relaxed considerably. She sat on the ground nearby and waved to Kanna.
"You should rest first. Tomorrow morning, everything will depend on you."
