Master Of None

Chapter 1005: 1005. How To Sew The Seeds

The view that Walker saw when he climbed to the top of the makeshift walls was not one he wanted to see or even remember. There was a lot more damage than he could see when they were nearing the port town. Many ships that had once been the pride and joy of merchant groups were now half sunk or broken and floating about.

There was a heavier and heavier smell of herbs and spices for booking in the air. There was also a small layer of oils from some of the torches being transported. But the most gruesome were the parts of animals and foodstuffs floating in the water. ”This is not good.?” Walker could only imagine how much money was lost ad how many people had already lost their livelihood from this damage.

”This isnʼt even the least of it. We didnʼt even know what was going on until the merfolk pushed through and warned us. The first attack was enough to take out the small fishing vessels. But they struggled for weeks before they started to disappear.” The merchant guard standing at watch heard Walker mumble to himself and responded.

”How have the attacks gone? What do I need to know for later when we close off the bay. Alma should be able to trap them and we can exterminate and make a safe area.” Walker wanted the inside information. These merchants had been dealing with attacks and such for days now, if not longer.

”The small ones are really soft and weak. We can easily chop off tentacles and their siblings will eat them. Itʼs a disgusting thing. But what they really have at their disposal is ink and water. They shoot blinding inky mist that makes you unable to see the water and even the air sometimes. Then they use water to shoot in a line like a fire breath.

It can cut through the wood we use for the walls. Thatʼs why there are so many layers that have been patched.” The merchant guard was looking exhausted from all the attacks and the stress of watching.

”You have done well so far. Just give everyone time and we will start to get this problem under control.” The guard gave a nid before he started another lap around the walls.

Knowing that the younger krakens could send out water spray strong enough to cut through wood walls was very important. Su should be able to block it with her shield but if it came from the mother kraken then they would have to dodge no matter what. But hearing that they had more attacks to stop them from seeing made the situation much more dangerous.

The possibility that the mother kraken could completely blind the town without any issue.

”Walker!” Gil called out from one of the higher points on the makeshift wall. In just a few moments Walker was able to run over and take a look. ”There are a lot of them in here and they keep eating the food from the ships. If we drop in a little more we might be able to get a frenzy going. One of the guards said that when they sank the larger ship with fresh cattle in it they were ferocious.”

Since Gil had gained his own information and was able to make a lot of progress on the plan to attract more. ”If Alma can grow a lot of the razor whip weed then we will have some passive damage. The with the dragons joining we might be able to do a lot more. But the few dragonkin I have seen around are surveying the area.

They have not spoken much.” Walker had not seen the dragonkin warriors much but was surprised that Gil had made out what they were up to.

”Itʼs a good plan but she needs the roots and seeds for them first. Once she has them you can fire them on your arrows to get them to come over.” Walker knew that the wither spike arrows would be able to hold a lot of seeds if used right. Ten or fifteen of the arrows would be able to cover the distance.” It was sure that Gil would be able to cover the distance in quick succession.

But with the enforcerʼs help, it would be done in one wave of arrows.

” We can work really well together. I am jealous though. They have some arrows that were inspired by the water elemental arrows I made back in the forest. They gather water elemental mana from the air and create a long ice javelin while flying.

I want to know how itʼs made but they refused to give them to me until I traded some of mine with them.” There was a childish annoyance in Gilsʼ voice but it was lighthearted compared to the seriousness of their plan.

”It wonʼt be too important what arrows we use when things get messy. I have a feeling that the dragons and dragonkin will have some serious attacks that will start things off heavily. But we just need the path cleared so that we can head in to the water. I wonʼt lie, I am worried about benign able to swim and breathe.

But there are spells that the mages can use on us.” It was rare to be able to use underwater breathing skills and swimming skills but having said magic skills to cast on others was a massive boon for this battle.

”At least I know I can take out enemies in the water.” Gil demonstrated and shot one arrow in to the water causing a flurry of bubbles to rise. There were some tentacles that shot from the water proving the cannibalistic nature of the young kraken.

”Well, Letʼs see about gathering that food. I can use some from my storage but we might be able to take a lot more if it is offered.” The next step was to get the bait they needed from the village. Neither of them was sure how it would go since the merchants had already lost a lot.
