Facing the terrifying monster in front of them that surpassed their common knowledge, the Turkish fleet immediately fell into extreme panic.
It is worth mentioning that the navy is the most superstitious branch of the military. Faced with an unknown terrifying force and the assassination of the fleet commander, the only thought in the minds of the officers and crew members was to escape.
"You cowards! Charge and fight in the name of faith! It is the highest honor to die in battle against demons. All warriors who die fighting demons will ascend to a paradise flowing with milk and honey and be served by seventy-two virgins! On the contrary, those cowardly cowards will be thrown into hell and suffer eternal torment..."
These crazy statements were made by the current highest commander of the fleet, the mentally unstable Maulana sent by the Sultan as a supervisor.
But who would listen to him now?
To hell with the seventy-two virgins!
The current situation was that as long as they stayed near this monster, no one could survive!
The crew members began to look at the Maulana with ill intentions. Some soldiers even started to contemplate whether to throw the supervisor into the sea while chaos was brewing, in order to wash away their cowardice after escaping.
However, the monster showed no sign of letting them off.
Eight tentacles extended from its body and stirred up the surrounding seawater.
Before long, a huge whirlpool formed around the monster's body.
The whirlpool engulfed dozens of warships, making it impossible for the fleet to escape.
At this moment, the Turkish sailors truly found themselves in an inescapable situation.
"I am Kraken, the King of the North Sea," the octopus-like monster spoke again, "If you surrender and leave Rhode Island now, this king may consider giving you a way out."
"Don't believe its words! They are the devil's tricks! Warriors, fight against the devil with your weapons until the very end..."
The sailors heard the insane words of the supervisor again.
Whose words should they listen to?
Compared to the terrifying monster in front of them, the sailors chose to obey the insane orders of the supervisor.
After all, there was no way to escape now.
With this belief in mind, the sailors on several warships gritted their teeth and fired at the monster.
Seeing their actions, the remaining warships also followed suit and launched an attack on the monster.
The sailors also picked up any weapons they could find, using muskets, bows, and crossbows to shoot at the sea monster, even though these weapons could hardly reach the monster's body.
The sea monster showed no reaction to the Turkish attacks, allowing the barrage of gunfire from all directions to rain down on itself.
Projectiles hit the smooth skin of the sea monster, sparking small sparks, but not even the slightest harm could be done to the monster. Compared to the monster's massive body, the ripples caused by the bombardment were insignificant.
"It seems that you still refuse to accept my goodwill," the sea monster sighed, "It's really frustrating. This king is actually a peaceful sea monster, but if you don't appreciate it, there's nothing I can do."
After speaking, the gigantic sea monster extended all eight tentacles into the water.
In an instant, the terrifying tentacles extended rapidly in the water.
Between the blink of an eye, each giant tentacle firmly grabbed a warship!
The thick, long, and ferocious tentacles coiled around the bodies of the warships, attaching themselves securely with suction cups the size of wheels to the smooth wooden boards that had been cleansed by the seawater.
Then, the sea monster lifted the eight heavy warships high into the air, extending them to a height of over a hundred meters!
Crack.
A crisp sound came from the sky.
The eight massive warships, each measuring fifty to sixty meters long, were crushed into pieces by the tremendous force of the sea monster's tentacles!
The thick and ferocious tentacles continued to coil and crush the hull of the warships, smashing them into small fragments effortlessly, just like a four or five-year-old child crushing a cookie in their hand.
The Turkish sailors on the warships fell from the shattered hulls, screaming, praying, and begging for mercy as they fell from a hundred meters in the air into the deep sea.
Most of them would die instantly when they crashed into the sea. The lucky few who managed to escape would be sucked into the deep sea by the vortex created by the sea monster's abilities.The remaining crew members were shocked and speechless when they saw this scene. Their bodies were trembling, and they didn't even have the strength to steer the ship to escape or struggle for their lives. Many of them began to kneel on the deck and pray to the heavens. Only the devout officer still shouted at the monster, ignorant of his own fate.
"Seventy-two virgins?" The sea monster scoffed, "If it were seventy-two tons of salted fish, this king might consider it."
After speaking, the sea monster directly extended a tentacle and entangled the officer's ship, dragging it into the depths of the sea.
"Die!"
The sea monster suddenly exerted force with its tentacle, crushing the officer's ship that had sunk to the bottom of the sea into pieces.
"There are still many more, it's too troublesome to crush them one by one. Besides, it's not in line with the king's humanitarian approach."
The sea monster supported its head with a tentacle and muttered to itself. Its voice was still gentle and kind, but to the Turkish crew members, it sounded like the wailing of demons in hell.
"Alright, that's enough."
The sea monster seemed to have made up its mind.
[Sea of Fury]
Suddenly, a golden light appeared on the sea monster's body.
The next moment, towering waves surged up!
The waves, reaching thousands of meters high, engulfed the remaining dozens of Turkish warships.
The warships rolled in the raging sea and ultimately disintegrated, crushed into pieces of broken wood.
The sailors on the ships had no time to react and sank into the abyss of this furious sea with endless fear.
Just half an hour passed, and the massive Turkish fleet was completely annihilated.
"Since you've angered this king, be prepared to be severely punished."
The sea monster muttered to itself with some satisfaction.
"If you don't accept this king's benevolence, then none of you will be able to escape."
......
Five minutes later, the temporary port on the northern coast of Rhode Island, the Turkish military transport ship.
Some soldiers guarding the port were yawning out of boredom. They knew nothing about the tragedy that had happened at sea a while ago.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of the ocean roiling.
This was a sound that only occurred when a hurricane was approaching!
The Turks walked out of their tents and watchtowers and went to the seaside to see what was happening.
They were shocked by the scene before their eyes!
The calm sea surface had turned into a devastating hurricane!
What was even more terrifying was that a gigantic monster with multiple tentacles was charging toward the port at an incredible speed after the hurricane!
"Run!"
This was the common thought of all the Turks present.
They dropped their weapons and ran as fast as they could towards the highlands inland.
Before they could run too far, the hurricane arrived!
The huge tentacled monster, driven by the destructive hurricane, crashed into the ships moored at the port at an incredible speed!
These sturdy ships built to transport soldiers turned into debris almost instantly upon contact with the hurricane.
After crashing the fleet, the sea monster continued to move forward, crashing all the way onto the beach, pulverizing the Turkish soldiers' barracks!
As the hurricane raged, the wreckage of the ships was washed onto the land.
The Turkish soldiers trembled in fear, desperately avoiding the pieces of wood falling from the sky.
The fragments of the transport ships fell like rain, smashing onto the pebble-covered beach.
Eventually, it formed an extremely eerie and apocalyptic landscape.
"Hmph, now no one can escape. Surrender quietly! You should know that this king really doesn't like wars."
The sea monster patted the dust and debris off its tentacles, left the beach, and departed with a gust of wind.
......
Near Rodos Port, the ruins of Saint Nicholas' Castle.
The occupying Turkish forces had set up a makeshift artillery position on the ruins of the castle and stationed fifty soldiers there to block the port.
At this moment, the attention of all the soldiers on the artillery position was focused on the intense battle between the two armies across the sea.
They were completely unaware that the shadow of death was silently approaching.
"Turks, I am Kraken, the King of the North Sea."
A tremendous voice drew the soldiers' attention back to the direction of the cannon.A gigantic sea monster was reclining on the beach, supporting its head with one tentacle.
"Your fleet has been destroyed by me, the mighty king. Surrender if you want to live," said the sea monster lazily.
"Oh my God!"
Listening to the fearful cries of the Turkish soldiers, the sea monster yawned lazily.
Today, he had heard humans exclaim like this more than once.
"Do you shallow-minded humans really find it so surprising to see the mighty king?" he thought, touching his beak with a tentacle.
"Fire the cannons! Fire quickly!"
Perhaps due to excessive fear, the officer manning the cannons issued an irrational command.
"You insignificant creatures are useless against the mighty king..."
Boom!
The terrified Turkish soldiers launched cannonballs at the sea monster as quickly as possible.
The head-sized cannonballs bounced off the sea monster's smooth skin like small pebbles and fell into the sea, leaving no marks larger than a fingernail.
"I've already said that weapons of this level are useless against me..."
Bang!
Just as the sea monster was confidently repeating its demand for surrender, a cannonball coincidentally landed in its golden giant eye.
"Oh my god, that itches so much! Sand got into my eyes!" exclaimed the sea monster, rolling on the reef and rubbing its eyelids with its tentacles.
After a moment.
The enraged sea monster returned to normal, with red eyes.
"You despicable humans, you've really made me angry!" roared the sea monster, its voice no longer soft as before, "If my precious and only eye gets infected, can you all bear the responsibility?"
"I'm truly angry!"
The sea monster raised one of its tentacles and swept away the cannon base built on the ruins, reducing it to rubble.
"You won't die If you don't want to, why don't you understand?" the sea monster said, rubbing its eyes forcefully.
