Episode 87

The warship goes to the side of the tentacles while towing a sailing vessel. The reef needed to be a little closer as it was not visible due to the fog.

However, if the octopus had the intelligence to use the remains of a sailing boat for simulated bait, then he would soon be bored with the phantom ship.

This may be attacked this time.

The size of the reef was measured by mermaids. They can sing underwater and detect the surroundings by the echo of the sound. An excellent sonar hand.

"It's about this, Mr. Weid"

They form a circle and give a rough size.

"It's huge ..."

There are about two tennis courts.

"Rashiy, how many more illusions can you develop?"

"You can do ten or twenty just to get them out, but only one can be moved at a time.

Sorry Rashii answers sorry. It seems impossible to add more decoys.

"Okay, let's just leave the illusion of the ship. Prepare for the next."

"Yes"

As long as there are four tentacles here, the body is right there.

As expected, a reef was immediately visible in the fog. It was a place where the fog was extremely dense, so I could not see it until I was close.

This may have been aground without mermaids and mermaids.

But with this, I got the whole picture of this octopus guy.

The water part of the reef is about 6 tatami mats. The rest seem to dive underwater.

Imagine an octopus in your head and imagine a state below sea level based on the visible feet and reef.

If you saw an octopus at the previous aquarium and the fresh fish corner, you could manage the image.

Alright, that's wrong.

I order the Dragon Fire Corps to fire a catapult.

"Target, sea surface just before the reef! First shot!"

Immediately, the dragons repeat the command and operate the catapult with familiar hands.

"Target, the sea surface just before the reef! The first shot will be fired!"

Gash was scolding the frightened sailors, and when he saw it, he raised his hopes.

"Oh, that's the Demon King's secret weapon!"

"Well, yes."

The barrel loaded into the catapult is fired vigorously.

Drawing a parabola, the barrel landed on the sea surface as expected.

And it's floating.

That's it.

Gursh was looking at Pokan and it, but he rushed to eat me.

"Oh, hey! Nothing happened!"

"Please calm down. It's observation fire right now."

There is only one shot here. If you throw it in a strange place, it ends.

If this works best, the fight will be easier.

So you have to be careful.

"Load the next round! Prepare to launch" Rain-Salt Silver "!"

There is a slight sense of tension between the dragons.

However, Immediately after the re-reading by Technical Officer Kurtze.

"Okay, ready to launch" Rain Salt Silver! "

The catapult was loaded with barrels of the same size.

Gursh sees it and asks me in curiosity.

"Is that it?"

"Oh, this guy"

I'm also honestly uneasy because it's not a pretty thing.

Krutse brings the barrel and carefully sets it on the catapult.

The tentacles of the octopus have been rampant all over the place, but a catastrophe awaits if you rush here.

"Evacuate the mermaid and mermaid behind the mother ship! Use the hull as a shield!"

After confirming the evacuation of the friendly forces, I ordered.

"Launched" Rain-Salt Silver "!"

The catapult's arm roars and roars, throwing barrels.

The barrel then landed on the surface of the sea as intended and floated.

"Hey, it's the same as before!"

Gash shouts, but it's far from right now.

"Lacy!"

"understood!"

As trained, Lacy casts a genjutsu on the barrel.

Soon, the barrel turned into a human struggling on the sea surface.

In other words, it looks just like Lassi. She is struggling, much like her when she started swimming.

"Maybe you are?"

"Yes, because it was easy to imagine the movement ..."

That's good, but are you eaten by that island octopus?

The island octopus, who seemed tired of playing with the illusionary ship, did not miss the stupid little girl who fell in front of her.

Immediately, the fake Lacy is wound around the octopus tentacles and dragged into the sea.

Even if you know it's an illusion, it's a very shocking sight ...

"Hey, what's going on?"

Girsh is worried, but I'm actually worried, so it's hard to reply.

But here, you will be imposing as the head of the Demon King's army.

"As expected"

The next moment, a big explosion occurred in the sea.

A water column stands and the seawater falls like rain. In the sea, the yellow light flickered many times, and the sea surface boiled.

All undulating tentacles retract astonishingly. Remnants of Belousa's merchant ship were dumped into the sea.

"Good!"

It worked, so I screamed.

I keep accountability for Gash, who is nervous.

"That is a secret weapon of the Demon Army, which explodes when it comes in contact with water."

"What is that ...

"In addition, the water it touches becomes very poisonous and dissolves the creatures."

"Demon or Devil"

"The Demon King Army"

For the time being, it's the Heal Corps as a prerequisite.

What I fed to the island octopus was a barrel tightly packed with metallic sodium.

When I was in high school, a friend of a chemicals member showed me a video of the explosion of metallic sodium. A large explosion occurred when a large container of metallic sodium was dumped into water.

That explosive power and subsequent water pollution can cause severe damage to aquatic demons. I thought so.

However, I heard that it is usually stored in kerosene because it is chemically unstable and reacts to moisture in the air.

Of course, it doesn't exist naturally in this world.

It was the King and the teacher who made it.

He seems to have been experimenting to see if his scientific knowledge would work in this world. It was written in the King's notebook.

However, in this world, the constituents of the material seemed to be a little different, and the results often differed from expectations.

So I can't say for sure that it's really metallic sodium. The properties are almost the same, so it was probably metallic sodium.

I got what I expected, and that's what I want.

I'm glad it was, but Technical Officer Krze sighed next door.

"Use the former king's heritage for such things ... Why do you want to explode anything, yes?"

"I'm a soldier, so ..."

I'm worried about the technicians' glances, but this will give you an advantage in the battle, so let's tolerate them.

Tells Kruze as remembered.

"As a result, it seems to be effective as a weapon, but it is more difficult to make a yellow dragon for a while, so please understand that only."

"I understand. I'm sorry."

Fireworks yellow is made from sodium compounds.

When the salt is dropped on the stove, the color of the fire turns yellow.

"Kurze, can you substitute salt?"

"Salt absorbs moisture."

So I'm sorry.

Double check that the formula is correct.

Well, sodium is Na and water is H2O?

The thing that can be attached is strong alkaline sodium hydroxide, right? Means NaOH, and there is one more H ... Oh, or is the generated gas hydrogen?

Indeed, it explodes.

I didn't think so deeply about the principle of explosion, but now I understand it.

Chemistry is interesting.

The island octopus may now be in agony with the pain of burning his mouth.

All tentacles are swelling and beating the water surface. The mast broke off at the base of a tentacle from a wreck of a Belusa merchant ship.

It's more violent than expected.

"Get involved in the tentacles, do not approach carelessly! And the seawater around him is very poisonous!"

I want to fold it all at once, but keep it close until he's a little weaker.

The island octopus stops the surrounding wind and tide with its magical power. You are not consciously using magic, but your own abilities.

Therefore, they cannot escape in the tide, nor can the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution be washed away by the ocean current.

The surface should be melting more and more in a highly alkaline solution.
