"Don't go near the sea, it's very dangerous!" Kanna waved her hands, loudly trying to stop the approaching security team members.
However, many members of the security team were experiencing such an exhilarating battle for the first time. Driven by adrenaline, they couldn't hear Kanna's shouts at all. Seeing them getting closer and closer to the range of the natural disaster, Kanna had no choice but to call out to Skadi, who was closest.
"Skadi, stop them! Don't let these people get near the coastline!"
Skadi was currently using a Seaborn corpse as a rag to wipe the fluid from her greatsword. Hearing Kanna's words, she casually threw the corpse in her hand at the security team member who was running the fastest.
The person didn't expect to be hit from behind and immediately fell to the ground. By the time he got up, much of his excitement had dissipated.
Seeing Skadi's actions, Kanna followed suit, grabbing a Seaborn corpse nearby and throwing it at the charging security team members.
With several "Bang! Bang! Bang..." sounds, these members were all stopped at the seashore.
At this moment, Ilena ran over. She raised her hand and delivered a powerful slap to those members, then pointed at the thunderclouds still lingering above and roared,
"Are you crazy, or have Seaborn gotten into your brains?! Didn't you see how terribly those monsters died by the water?! You still dare to go over, do you want to become charred corpses too?!"
Whether awakened by the slap or by Ilena's angry roar, the crowd finally calmed down from the atmosphere of victory.
At this time, a well-equipped team also entered Rock Bay Town. Upon seeing the reinforcements arrive, Dona, who had been in charge at the rear, took the lead, bringing this team towards the lighthouse.
Along the way, they also saw the terrifying lightning dragon in the thunderclouds. However, even though they didn't know it was an ally, not a single person in this team hesitated. No matter how terrifying the enemy ahead, they would only choose to continue wielding their longswords and lanterns until the very last moment before death.
This team was precisely the Inquisition, led by the Grand Inquisitor, who had rushed over first after receiving orders.
When they arrived at the lighthouse, they only saw the security team members lying haphazardly on the ground, and the lighthouse still emitting a dazzling light.
Kal'tsit walked out of the lighthouse and was surprised to see the person leading the team. It was an acquaintance, Dassault, whom Saint Carmen had previously intended to have guide him.
Dassault nodded solemnly to Kal'tsit, "Doctor Kal'tsit, you've worked hard. It seems we arrived a little late."
Kal'tsit dusted off her hands and looked at Dassault and the members of the Inquisition behind him.
"Grand Inquisitor Dassault, you are not late. Although it appears we repelled the attack from the deep sea, there are still many deep sea spies among the residents of Rock Bay Town. Furthermore, the future defense of Rock Bay Town and its reconstruction after this incident will require your assistance."
Although the deep sea attack was fended off thanks to the defensive fortifications prepared in advance around the lighthouse, most of the coastal buildings were destroyed in this battle. The post-war reconstruction task was very challenging, especially since it was unknown if the deep sea would attack again.
"What are the casualties like?" Even without personally participating in the previous battle, the extent of the destruction around them clearly indicated the ferocity of the fighting.
Kal'tsit sighed, "Nearly 30% of the security team were killed in action, and the remaining ones are all wounded. Among them, more than twenty seriously injured are concentrated in the lighthouse awaiting emergency treatment."
Hearing this data, Dassault couldn't help but gasp.
From what could be observed, at least three hundred security team members participated in the battle here, and a 30% casualty rate meant approximately one hundred people died.
For morale not to collapse under such losses sounded like something out of a fantasy novel.
"There was no choice. The opponents were not human. Behind everyone were their families, wives, and children in Rock Bay Town. Even if they wanted to surrender, there was no opportunity."
The captain of the security team, the middle-aged Liberi, walked over. However, his empty left arm and pale complexion indicated the severity of his injuries.
"Captain, didn't I tell you to rest in the tower? If we find your severed limb, there's still a chance to reattach it." Kal'tsit frowned, seeing the security team captain disregard medical advice and come out on his own.
"Forget it! What I learned is the 'Supreme Art,' and this swordsmanship requires a lot from the body. I imagine even if the arm could be reattached, it wouldn't move as freely as before. Without the 'Supreme Art,' I'm just an ordinary Iberia swordsman." There was regret in the security team captain's tone, but his face was full of smiles, showing that he did not regret his current situation.
"You are a great swordsman!" Skadi, who had walked over to Kal'tsit after the battle, rarely offered such praise to the one-armed security team captain. In her hand, she still held a dead Seaborn.
"In the previous battle, you saved at least twenty lives. If you hadn't blocked a surprise attack from a 'Seaborn' for a team member, you wouldn't have lost that arm. If I remember correctly, that arm should be inside this Seaborn."
After Skadi finished speaking, she even swung the corpse in her hand.
Hearing her words, a sword light slashed down from the air, instantly disemboweling the Seaborn.
Dassault had, at some unknown point, picked up a longsword; it was he who made the move.
Indeed, after being split in two, a severed arm dropped from inside it.
Kal'tsit picked up the severed arm and examined it, "It's not a big problem. After cleaning, it can still be reattached. Although it won't be as good as before, two hands are always better than one."
The security captain's eyes showed gratitude, but before he could speak, Dassault said,
"As the only surviving high-ranking official in Rock Bay Town, I will report your performance in this incident to the higher-ups in detail. You will receive the commendation you deserve. However, before that, Rock Bay Town's upcoming work still requires your assistance."
To this, the security captain nodded and agreed.
After their conversation, Dassault waved his hand, and the Inquisition took over the security team's work, beginning to clean up the aftermath. Kanna also walked over from behind.
"Hey, uncle! Tell your people not to go near the sea; it's extremely dangerous there!"
Seeing the new people approach, Kanna quickly spoke, lest someone unaware of the situation walk to the seashore and get struck by lightning, which would then be unfairly blamed on her.
Dassault had naturally noticed the anomaly at sea in Rock Bay Town, but he had a lot of work to start and hadn't had time to inquire about it yet.
He looked at Ilena, whose body was covered in blood and fluid that was almost congealed, wanting to know the specific situation.
