"..."
In the rainy night, Ronald listened to the sound of the rain around him.
At this mont, looking toward the port in the direction of the western ocean, the sea surface was dim, and ordinary human eyesight couldn't detect any anomalies.
The pitch-dark night and heavy rain were enough to mask everything.
Moreover, the approaching enemies, sea creatures lurking beneath the water, added a significant challenge to early detection efforts.
And now, there were only ten minutes left until the half-hour Il ntioned.
"..."
Thinking of this, Ronald turned to look at the port of Carpen.
Since officials were also on the steamship at the ti, with the help of the Caster's power, they were quickly brought back to the city and organized the evacuation of residents closest to the shore at an unimaginable speed.
At this mont.
This work was being arranged urgently.
Coincidentally, due to the significant changes in the world, many major cities had established ergency plans for crises, and Carpen was one of them.
So, when faced with this situation.
The city's administrators activated a pre-established evacuation plan, and with the Casters' help, orders were issued, and residents were evacuated at an unimaginable speed.
Despite the rain interfering as an external factor.
But from Ronald's perspective of the evacuation scene, a considerable number of residents at the port could escape this attack, saving many valuable lives for this city.
The heavy rain continued to rage over the sea.
At this ti, Costate approached from behind and whispered to Ronald:
"Sir, Il, along with several investigators, has co ashore, saying he wants to help evacuate civilians."
Il, that guy... going to evacuate civilians?
Hearing Costate's words, Ronald raised an eyebrow.
He quickly focused on Il's direction, observing the psychological activities of the crowd around this guy — Il... really went to evacuate civilians!
Moreover, according to the crowd's specific reactions, Il seed to be doing a good job. Even a few young children had a very good impression of Il who helped them.
"..."
Faced with such a situation, Ronald didn't even know how to evaluate it.
After watching closely for a few more seconds and confirming that Il wasn't up to sothing covert, Ronald turned back to look at Costate:
"Costate, aren't you going to act with Il?"
"In recent days in Carpen, haven't you two been inseparable, engaging with human society together?"
Hearing Ronald's question, Costate replied seriously:
"Sir, I do wish to continue advancing on this path."
"But more importantly, your safety is paramount. At this critical mont of impending attack, I could never leave you to act alone for my own matters."
Costate, truly the ever-loyal maid.
Ronald couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Even when what she pursued was right in front of her and had developed significantly, when faced with her own progress and Ronald's danger, Costate still chose the latter without hesitation.
"Woo woo——"
Suddenly, a strange sound ca from the distant sea.
Ronald could confirm that it was the noise of so creature, but combing through his mories, nothing similar ca up.
— It must be the sea creatures Il sensed approaching.
Just as Ronald confird this, standing beside him, an investigator ant to assist him in the upcoming battle spoke up:
"Mr. Ronald, I think I heard so sounds coming from the sea?"
"You're not mistaken."
Looking back, Ronald noted that this investigator, evidently with body-enhancing spells, had hearing much sharper than others.
Although not to Ronald's exaggerated extent.
But compared to others, detecting the sound of approaching sea creatures was not a problem. After Ronald's confirmation, the investigator's expression turned extrely serious.
He began channeling Magic Power into the prepared spells, and even adjusted his posture to brace against the front rail and the deck beneath his feet, maintaining at least three points of contact to ensure the most stable position possible on the swaying sea.
As the investigators around prepped for battle, Ronald couldn't help but add:
"The enemies will probably be here in about six to seven minutes."
"In the upcoming battle, your main task is to protect yourselves and the ship, understood?"
The investigators around Ronald responded in unison:
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
"..."
Then, the deck fell silent again.
Everyone quietly awaited the mont of battle.
Regarding personnel allocation, the ship Ronald was on had the fewest Casters.
Due to Ronald's extraordinary combat abilities, other key combat forces in the fleet were placed on the other two steamships, the arrangent best eting practical needs...
Boom!
At that mont, there was an explosion-like sound from the distant sea.
With Ronald's exceptional sight, he could see a large monster leap out from beneath the sea, crash back into the water, and form massive waves spreading around.
Its sheer size made the sound of surfacing and landing feel like an explosion.
Rumble——
Then, an even more striking scene unfolded.
The massive sea monster was not alone, and more colossal sea beasts followed, repeating this action, showcasing their forms and power!
It was a rainy night.
But even the sound of the torrential rain couldn't mask the dramatic noise, and Ronald sensed many typically unperturbed residents of Carpen were suddenly awakened and rushed to join the inland-bound flow of people.
Faced with this, Ronald's expression darkened.
Judging from the sea creatures' trajectory.
Their target was not the fleet of Grid but Carpen, quietly situated on land within the rain.
Their target was this port city!
If these monsters aren't stopped in ti, who knows the extent of the casualties Carpen could suffer.
In this situation.
Ronald's gaze was steady as he watched the approaching sea monsters.
Then, the mark of the original text lit up in his hand, and an ancient, mysterious stone tablet appeared in his hand:
"The sky severs clear daylight,
The earth separates from edges,
The na of the Son of Man is yet to be established..."
