498. Manta Tribe (3)

The fleet was thrown into great confusion by the appearance of the giant demon.

While some ships, such as the Judgement-Ho and the Wings of Glory, managed to build their own defenses, others panicked and had to disembark from their escape boats.

But such small boats often capsized before they could even reach the shore, unable to withstand the waves.

The biggest problem was that the command structure that controlled the fleet was of no help in this situation. It was no wonder that there was no proper countermeasure that the fleet could take against a demon that had never been imagined to exist before.

Although General Lysander hurriedly raised the blue flag, which meant "spreading," none of the captains were able to properly carry out the order. How could they move the ship when they didn't even have time to properly spread the sails?

In the end, the captains of each ship had no choice but to deploy their defensive shields as much as possible and do their best to keep their ships from sinking.

"Hey! It's Logan!"

In such a desperate situation, there was someone who was running around alone to protect the fleet, and Prince Logan was truly a ray of hope for them.

"Ah, the Lord's knight has finally boarded our ship!"

"We are saved!"

Sir Ellie, who had followed behind, gave a sharp warning to the sailors who were shedding tears of joy.

"Everyone, wake up! Everyone, brace yourself for shock!"

It was as she said. If Prince Logan was here, that meant the sea demons were heading straight for here.

Kwaaaaa-

The sailors, who had been cheering with their arms outstretched, soon found themselves blushing at the sight of the mighty sea monster speeding towards them, cutting through the sea.

"Lord, protect your children!"

Kwaaang!

Once again, the sacred barrier and the demonic beast collide violently. The impact causes the ship to rock wildly and sprays of water spray from all directions.

"Ugh... ... !"

"The ship, the ship didn't sink? How could... ...!"

"How? What? It's the grace of Logan! If you understand, then stop muttering and gather on deck! Are these all the Auror users?"

While the rear guard was checking the condition of the ship, Logan, who had put out the fire in a hurry, lifted the sacred barrier and looked around. Then, he noticed a strange phenomenon occurring on one side of the fleet and his eyes caught something.

"That's... ... ."

The Judgement Ship was anchored relatively close to the shore. An incredibly powerful sacred barrier started from that ship and spread out to the sides, enveloping the surrounding ships.

Its size was so great that it was enough to protect even those who fell into the sea and swam to land.

'... Sisley!'

Logan sensed a familiar divine power coming from the barrier, and a faint smile formed on his lips without him knowing it.

"Okay, throw all the available buoys into the sea!"

"You guys over there! Don't waste your energy swimming and get swept away by the waves. Hang on to the boat and save your energy!"

Not only that. The other knights of the punitive force gradually came to their senses and began to act independently. The Knights of St. Marsyas, led by Inquisitor Lumiere, were a prime example.
