Trinitas Mundus

June 1.

With cloudless sunny weather in the morning, it was the best day to face the Sea Serpent.

The Rays had breakfast early and headed to Cheslock Military Harbor.

Approaching the beach, many soldiers work to carry and secure large crossbows (baristas).

In addition, fisherman-like half-naked men arranged fish nets and ropes on the beach to connect them.

This is a measure Ray has in mind to keep Cesar Pent out of the way, similar to the hand he used a year ago in his battle with the Green Serpent.

This time, we plan to sink a fishnet reinforced with rope into the waters that will draw Cesar Pent in advance, pull it where Cesar Pent passes, tangle it in the body, seal the movement, and expose it to intensive barrista fire.

Being a big man over fifty m (melt), as many as two hundred inflexible fishermen and sailors were to hit the task.

Ray looked at the readiness and headed for the fort at the tip of the Cape.

The fort was awaited by the commander of the military port, Ijdoah Richards, and the commander of the galley ship, Harry Morton. Because we're both barely asleep, or I see tiredness in our expressions.

"We're good to go. The rework of the boat you ride is over," Morton explained, and Richards nodded,

"All you have to do is make the final adjustments with you. You look all right."

"Yes. Your health is fine. I just wanted to ask for one extra thing..." and cut out the story of the watch.

Richards said, "You do need it," after

"Then the beach watchtower and galley ship mast will be good, and the beach watchtower will be good on the boom of the crane of the breakwater for merchant ships at the end of the fishing port. We can see it from the three sides, so it's unlikely we'll overlook it."

After a brief meeting, head to the fort watchtower. One soldier looked at the brilliant sea level in the morning sun.

Noticed of Richards' appearance, the soldier takes his eyes off the sea level and greets him with salute.

"Where is he?" To Morton's inquiry, "the soldier says," to the usual place, "pointing to the end of the port's entrance and exit. The place is about five hundred melts away, but the fact that their opponents are large demons seems to tell the familiar soldiers apart.

"They rarely come in before that. It's not so narrow that I can't move, but I'm on guard for some reason."

Richards groans so abominably. Because if you pull it in, you can also shoot it with a barista.

Ray stood on the watchtower, gazing at the sparkling sea level, but could not find what Cesar Pent looked like.

"It's harder to see than I thought. Mr. Ocho, do you see Cesar Pent from here?

Speak to Ocho, one of the beastly slaves who held back. He was supposed to be in charge of the watch at this place.

Ocho bows his head small and stands on the watchtower, looking carefully at the sea level.

"Over there," he said, pointing his finger,

"I went about 300 melts southwest of the embankment for the merchant ship... and now I see a slight back"

Ocho's explanation managed to capture Cesar Pent's appearance on Ray as well.

"You're going to figure it out. Shall we head to the coast?"

That's what I'm going down the lookout.

After leaving the fort, he returns to the base part of the headland, looking at the connecting location of the galley ship. The fishermen had already put the fishnets into the sea to prepare them. This task is the same procedure as the trawl net fishing method.

However, the difference is that the fishing vessel is supposed to be released and netted, but the netting is widened by pulling it from the embankment for large fishing and merchant vessels opposite the embankment where the galley vessel is situated, taking into account the possibility that the fishing vessel put out will be attacked. After spreading the net, it was necessary to carry the rope from both embankments to the western beach.

As a result, many fishermen are hit by the work while multiplying their voices.

"This one doesn't look like a problem either. And then there's the barista installation."

Ray remembered the battle at Periclitle and was trying to appeal to good order in a bright tone.

(I don't think I should do this somehow, but I'm really not used to it... but if everyone thinks this is going to make it a little bit more successful, I feel like acting...)

The sound of the hammers of the shipbuilders was echoing, and baristas, as many as forty on the beach, were beginning to be installed towards the sea.

Originally installed at the base of the fort, instability remains on the sandy beach. For this reason, they use corner materials for military ships to create a temporary base of crucifixion.

Ray lays his hands on the finished foundation and nods satisfactorily.

"You have enough strength for this. I think I can move left, right, up and down to some extent."

The fort barista is placed on a thick pillar for support and is designed to allow it to swirl over the pillar. The elevation angle can also be changed to accommodate flying demons. However, since the foundation is unstable compared to the fort, it can fall if you swirl it large, but this time the aim is an operation to lure enemies, so if you can make minor modifications, it's fine.

"We're going to float something like a buoy offshore and make sure it goes through there. Then it's easy to aim in advance."

I was ready while I was talking about that.

"Now we're all set for this one. It's your turn from here."

That's what Richards says and laughs niggly. He acted sparingly to appeal to the likelihood of success as a commander.

Ray also understood the thought, so he replied with a smile, "You can always be mine," to fit his act.

"Then we start the operation in thirty minutes! All participants will be rewarded for the Serpent Crusade! Keep your temper up!

I said to that voice, "" Ooh! "" responds to the roar.

Fishermen, in particular, were motivated without a bounty because if this operation was not successful, the days would continue when they would not be able to go fishing again, but when they heard that they would be rewarded, their motivation would be even greater.

"All hands in position! Commanders everywhere send a signal as soon as the final confirmation is complete!

On that order, the soldiers ran out stiffly, and the fishermen said, "Okay, let's do it!," he said, heading to the beach, which is a holding area.

"Well, I'm going to take care of it, too," he says to Ashley, "Don't push it," and hugs him.

"Of course, and even if this operation fails, we can still do it."

As Ashley hugged him again, he took Seyce and headed to the beach watchtower, which was the holding area.

While Stella envies Ashley like that, she simply says "good luck" and heads to the fort's watchtower, which is her holding area.

"So shall we go too," Ray tells Uno, who says "thank you" and bows his head.

Ray and Uno boarded a boat that was attached to a breakwater for a galley ship.

The boat had been modified, thinking about Ray throwing out his body and using magic, with a plate for stomping with his feet and a stick for grabbing with his right hand.

In addition, a watchtower for the uno to stand on the tip side was also mounted, reducing the likelihood that it would be shaken off even in a sudden change of direction.

"This is good," Ray muttered, "we can focus on watching this one too," Uno had uncommonly replied. He also felt that Ray was being forced, and he was trying to lighten the burden on his mind a little by actively speaking. It's unthinkable if it was a previous uno, but now I even took that idea for granted.

Around 10 a.m., when a signal arrives that all preparations have been made, Ray takes off his upper body clothes as well as yesterday and gives them to the soldiers at the breakwater. When I receive more buoys for the landmarks, I tell Moran, who came to see how they were doing, that I was ready to smile.

"Now that we're ready, give the Lord Richards a signal."

"Roger. Give the signal," he ordered the soldier,

I'll take care of the beach.

"Yeah, good luck with that. I'm gonna pull Cesar Pent."

That's all I said, I put my left hand on the ocean and slowly ran the boat.

Feeling the coolness of the sea water, I repeat the acceleration and deceleration, reorientation, etc. several times in order to recall the feeling of manoeuvring I learned yesterday.

(That's easier to maneuver than yesterday. Since the body is fixed, I wonder if the water flow will stabilize......)

Continue within the harbour as you serpent, to the point of luring the sea serpent.

Within the military port is a rocky place with a water depth of nearly twenty melts, but as we head to the beach, the black rocks gradually decrease and the seabed turns into white sand.

In the light of the dazzling day of May, the sea is thin blue. It looks like a resort to watch on TV or something, which makes me feel unintentionally relaxed.

(You're in the mood for a relaxing vacation... No, I need to get my mind together. The target is a first-degree demon…)

He retightens his mind and slowly progresses as he checks the seabed. Occasionally, Uno communicates information from the watchtower, but Cesarpent is not interested in the rays on the beach side, apparently, and is not trying to come inside just by swimming urlow near the port entrance.

As Moran said yesterday, the western coast of Cheslock Bay was rapidly getting deeper. Even approaching about fifty melts from the coastline, the water depth was about five melts, and even a giant sea serpent had the depth to swim without problems.

"There are nets and ropes underneath this," Uno reports, Ray peeks into the bottom of the ocean.

"You're sinking well. This doesn't seem to hook you up before you pass by."

The key point of this operation is to lure Cesar Pent in and not let him get away with it. The trick to lure is for Ray to fall, but the trick not to let him escape is to wrap a fishnet and a sturdy rope around the Sarpent's body to stop the movement.

For this reason, three fish nets with a diameter of more than five cm (semel), which is stronger than the rope normally used, are used. The difficulty of cutting by distributing the load on the three ropes and the movement can be stopped with the other two even if one is cut.

In addition, ropes and fishnets are equipped with tricks for lifting. It's not a big deal, just lift it to sea level with a thin rope connected to a crane (crane) at the embankment of the military port and the embankment of the fishing port.

Due to its length, it will not rise completely to the surface of the water, but it will rise to some extent if pulled, so lifting it even slightly will have full effect. This rope was supposed to be disconnected immediately once the seether pent was hooked.

A little bit into the beach from the fishnet and rope trap, Ray said, "It's good around here".

Uno nods small at it, then throws a wooden buoy with a flag into the sea.

This buoy is a landmark for Ray to head for, as well as being used to gauge when soldiers and fishermen on the beach pull the rope. Of course, measure the timing of pulling the rope while visually checking the motion of the sea serpent, but in case you're afraid to untime it, that's what Ray suggested.

In response to that suggestion, Moran explains that "our soldiers are good at measuring distances from ships," but he has no problem with his ability to watch.

"Large goals may result in missightings. If you have a landmark, it's okay to deviate slightly, and the people who pull the rope can build up their minds."

"I'm sure it might be. Because I've never seen Cesar Pent or anything like it up close," he was convinced.

After throwing in the buoy, Ray brings the boat closer to the beach.

Even about twenty melts from the coastline the water depth is more than one melt and the boat confirms that it will proceed without any problems.

"If we can escape all the way around here, Cesar Pent will hook up to the bottom of the sea, too, so the speed should drop. After that, if you accelerate at once and get up to the beach, you'll be fine."

I tell Uno that, but I was actually telling myself. Uno knows that, too, and nods small.

"I'll take care of the needle directions. I will definitely lead you this far."

Ray just said "thank you" for that, after waving to Richards and the others on the beach, he pointed the boat at the entrance to the harbor where Cesarpent waited.
