Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants

Over the next few days, the information I needed began to come to me.

This is Bernheinen

Okay, let me read it already.

I hurriedly received the documents brought by Seiches of the Horse Corps.

There are various monsters and mysterious phenomenons in this world, but most of them remain unknown and have not been elucidated.

However, humans leave records. If there has been an attack even once, they will record it and try to pass it on to future generations.

There are a huge number of books in the ancient city of Bernheinen in the south. There should be information on the pioneering era in it.

With that in mind, I asked Senior Melene to look up the books in the Royal Library.

In my previous life, if you ask a question on SNS, someone will answer you immediately, but in this world it is not so.

Alright, its a hit

There was one monster that matches the search results.

There was a monster that a pioneer who aimed for Miraldia about 200 years ago encountered while crossing the South Shizukai.

A monster that is likely to attack both ships and mermaids. The wind that stopped, the tide that stopped, and the fog.

It perfectly matched the conditions of Parkers testimony.

Is it an island octopus?

Its literally a giant octopus, as big as an island. The name is somewhat humorous, but it seems to be the strongest and worst monster feared as the Devils Sea.

The papers mentioned other possibilities, but did not meet the criteria.

Flying monsters are easily spotted, and its easier to attack humans than to attack mermaids.

The rest are undead, such as the ghost ship, which is the story of a sailor, but then we should have noticed it when the necromancer Parker encountered it.

Besides, the undead that occur naturally in this world basically only attack their own kind.

The mermaids were afraid of human ghosts, but the reason they didnt hurt them was probably because they were of different races.

Also, human pirates do not sink ships except for the most vicious ones. Like the bandits on the trade route, killing their prey will be a problem later on.

It seems that Garshs ancestors were also pirates, but from that time there was a five-percent rule in the South Shizukai.

It is a self-imposed rule of the pirate industry that only five percent, that is, five percent of the cargo, should be stolen.

With only that much damage, you can make up for the loss by selling the remaining cargo at a higher price. This means that the route will not be interrupted because business will still be possible.

On the contrary, if you are too greedy, the merchant ships will be armed in earnest and the subjugation fleet will be organized to defeat them.

So it would be different from a human pirate.

After all, it seems that the only valid candidate is the island octopus.

When I went to the Taishous mansion in Beruza with the information on the island octopus, Garsh immediately held his head.

Hey, seriously. Is this kind of thing in our ocean?

The documents brought by Seiches are copies of the collection, so the only illustration is a picture of an octopus that seems to be handwritten by senior Melene. Perhaps it was the artists handiwork, but it looked vaguely cute.

However, the size of the island octopus was not so cute.

A sailing ship with three masts is caught by winding it around with tentacles.

The Devils Sea attacking the emigrant ship Kaiyan

At the bottom of the figure, it was written in the character of senior Melene.

Garsh and his minions are having a conversation like this with a moaning voice.

No, Ive heard that while the first voyage to Beruza, a ridiculous monster attacked and sank a fellow ship.

That wasnt the first big mullet

Hey, I wonder what my ancestors are.

Because even the boss will blow a big mullet soon.

(TN: Even we dont know what this random conversation is about lol)

Apparently it still remains in the folklore.

I dont know if its the same individual that Garshs ancestors encountered, but its almost certainly the culprit.

It seems that the master also looked up the Devils Sea in the library, and there were detailed descriptions about it.

It looks like an octopus so it is called an island octopus, but apparently, its also a member of the shellfish. The head, or rather the top of the body, is covered with a rock-like shell that seems to mimic a reef.

The reefs attract small fish, which in turn attract larger fish and beasts. It is believed that it preys on the fish.

It seems to be a very clever type of monster.

The reason why the wind and tide stop is not clear, but Master thinks that it may have such magical power. Just as a werewolf can transform instantly, demons have mysterious powers.

Master hypothesized that the fog might be the island octopus spraying seawater like a whale squirting.

By the way, mermaids also live on the reefs. Perhaps their former residence was also a reef. And they are a reasonable size for food for the Devils Sea.

However, attacking the ship is not written in Masters memo.

Even if you try to eat sailors as a staple food, the ships are large and rarely encountered. Considering the ecology of island octopus, it is more natural to think that it would usually eat large fish.

That was the content.

Rashi peeked at it and tilted her head.

Is this the culprit who attacked the ship after all?

Garshs ancestors seem to have been attacked by it, so it seems so.

Masters memo is described as a biological study, and the memo of Senior Melene is described as a historical record.

I thought a little and drew a conclusion.

Maybe ordinary island octopuses dont attack ships, but island octopuses in the South Shizuka now attack ships too. Given that, theres no contradiction.

It was around the time when pioneers arrived in the southern part of Miraldia. Suppose there is a ship that happens to get on the rock reef of an island octopus.

Its annoying for the island octopus, but its also a tanabota. Humans who fall into the sea are slower than fish and are easy to catch.

If it can eat dozens of people, it will be okay without eating anything for a while. Unlike homeothermic animals, metabolism should be low.

And I think the island octopus is full for now.

I wonder if it will come again

Of course, its all my imagination, but if thats the case, there seems to be no limit to what I can do.

Lets think about how to get rid of it all together.

Thats what i thought, but for some reason everyone on the spot was surrounded by a heavy atmosphere.

The Devils Sea Its a messy monster, isnt it?

When Garsh moans, Rashi murmured as if she was disappointed.

As expected, neither the Demon Kings Army nor the Miraldia Alliance Army can deal with this

The werewolves also have similar expressions.

This is not something you can handle with fangs and claws

This is a bit of a stretch, isnt it?

Gurney and Monza had difficult faces.

Everyones reaction was unexpectedly bearish.

It can not be helped. I told everyone, quickly putting together a subjugation plan in my head.

Its just a monster. Lets quickly get rid of the worries of the Mermaids and Beruza.

Everyone was silent and looked at me astonishingly.

No, Im sorry for not reading the air.

Parker asked curiously.

Somehow, youre not afraid of the Devils Sea. Your opponent is a monster that sinks a large ship, right?

Its still weaker than a hero

The strength of the hero Arches transcended the common sense of this world. Ive fought a lot of guys in my life, but hes the only one that made me feel like I was going to die.

Compared to that, this is just an octopus. You can chop it into ingredients for takoyaki. With Berusas naval power, the strength of the demon tribe, and magic, we can do anything.

The Demon Kings Army has defeated the hero, so I think this octopus guy is weaker than the hero. Then we can defeat this guy too. So lets get on with it.

Everyone had a dumb face on them, but after a while the werewolves nodded.

Oh, yeah if the captain says so, lets give it a try

He is the man who bit the hero to death

This is the reason why the werewolf team is so energetic.

On the other hand, Garsh was cautious only as the Viceroy.

Hey, is there a chance of winning?

Its not certain, but its possible. I also set up a strategy in case the opponent is an island octopus and in case it is not. But we dont have a ship. Lend me a Beruza ship.

Garsh folded his arms and groaned.

Is it a ship? Actually, I was building a new warship without permission from the Senate in preparation for the battle with the Demon Kings army.

Then well use that

The warships in this world are probably galleys. Its the kind you row with large numbers of people.

Then Garsh laughs as if in trouble.

I made it secretly to fight the Demon Kings army Well, I think I wont be using it for that purpose, so Ill lend it to you along with the old one. But return it properly.

I cant promise that, but Im sure itll be fine. Also lend me some merchant ships.

Youre a greedy guy. What use do you have for a merchant ship?

I may be able to load weapons developed by the Demon King Army, so Id like to borrow it for the time being.

Merchant ships are basically sailing ships, but this one can carry things better.

Garsh looked stunned for a while, but soon began to laugh.

Well, thats okay. Warships and merchant ships are cheap as long as the route is safe! You can use it as you like!

Oh, thats very generous. Warships are much more expensive than merchant and fishing vessels, so they should cost a lot.

If possible, Id be happy if the warship alone could be returned safely.

It seems that he still has a little bit of a craving.

Based on Masters memo, I made a plan to subdue the Devils Sea, but this requires additional personnel and special equipment.

Contact Tuburns arsenal and Luneheits Crossbow Corps. Ill also train Rashi.

You mean me!?

Your illusion is the key to victory. Ill train you until the day we set out.

Thats

This is to return the warship unharmed.

Good luck.
