Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

The prawns were all immersed in the joy of victory, but Shrimp Leader became more and more uneasy.    

There was nothing unusual about the battle, or it could be said that it was too normal. When they discovered the enemy, they attacked from afar, approached harvesting, and retreated. When the enemy troops came over to collect the corpses, everything was no different from the battle all this time.    

However, Shrimp Leader still felt that something was wrong.    

Even though they knew that a small portion of the troops would be eaten directly, the enemy still chose to split up. What was the enemy thinking?    

This was not normal...    

A new piece of news interrupted his train of thought. The person in charge of the fifth structure reported that they had discovered a small portion of the enemy's army.    

The shrimp people were confident enough to win against the powerful enemies without suffering any injuries. They couldn't wait to find a target that they could use their full strength against.    

Recently, they had found quite a few, and now they found another one.    

Shrimp Leader could see the light flashing in the eyes of these prawns.    

They wanted to fight.    

But...    

Forget it.    

"Fight!" Shrimp Leader gave the order, and the prawns left with their orders and returned to their posts.    

Shrimp Leader could tell that it was not a bad thing for the people to be excited about encountering enemies.    

Let the people of his family relax for the last time. After all, the path indicated by the oracle was too dangerous. Before this, they had to take care of the emotions of their clansmen, and then there would be less trouble.    

Shrimp Leader gazed into the distance at the waves rising on the horizon.    

The uneasiness grew stronger and stronger.    

I hope this is just an illusion...

In the distant tide, the young Deep One Priest also discovered the enemy's mobile fortress.    

After hiding for so long, he still bumped into it...    

The young Deep One Priest was not surprised by the enemy's fortress. The bait cooperated with the pressure from the main force and lured the enemy's fortress to change its trajectory step by step. That was to say, if the higher ups wanted to, they could totally let all the bait hit the enemy.    

What surprised the young Deep One was that the enemy's stronghold had swallowed four baits in a row, and the council of priests had no intention of withdrawing the baits.    

What were the higher-ups thinking? Must all these baits be killed?    

However, it was not entirely a bad thing. After losing four legions, things could no longer be covered up. The soldiers under him also gradually realized that something was wrong.    

A few days ago, a few soldiers found the young Deep One Priest.    

"Praise the God of Water," Deep One Warrior said, bowing. "Priest. Were we thrown out as bait?"    

It seemed that the soldiers were very concerned about this. It was one thing to sacrifice one's life for victory, and being thrown out to die was another.    

Their hearts could be used...    

"Of course not." The young Deep One Priest shook his head. He had once trained as a priest in Capital of God, and his bearing was perfect. "Dark Spawn will not abandon every single one of us. It was precisely because of this kind of unity that Dark Spawn was able to conquer Qi Hai. And maintaining this kind of unity, Dark Spawn will definitely conquer everything."    

"Warrior, do you have any other questions?" The young Deep One Priest had a resolute expression, like a fierce warrior charging into enemy lines.    

Deep One Warrior and the others left with satisfaction. The priests seemed to be very reliable, unlike the priests in the past, who had a stinky face and ignored everyone all day long. Especially the last expression on their faces. If it wasn't for the priests, he would have done the same. He was a very good warrior.    

The young Deep One Priest was also very satisfied. He had been exiled to the island where the fish couldn't even touch for such a long time. He thought that he had returned all the things he had learned in Capital of God, but now it seemed that he still had some foundation.    

That performance of Fraud Tian even made him believe it... but the effect wasn't bad.    

And now, the enemy's stronghold had appeared on the horizon.    

The young Deep One Priest could see that the soldiers were trembling in fear.    

The enemy was very strong, but this had nothing to do with the bravery that the soldiers had always advocated. The soldiers would not even have the chance to stab their spears at the enemy. They would either fall to the lightning or under the light.    

Without the protection of the Alliance Army, they could only face one outcome when facing the enemy's moving fortress, which was turning into a headless corpse.    

Very good, their hearts can be used...    

"Warriors." The young Deep One Priest's voice came from the depths of the wave.    

"We were discovered by the enemy's mobile fortress."    

"You know about the enemy's mobile fortress. Seventeen legions have been destroyed by it, and not a single one of them is left alive."    

"I'm sure you all know our current combat strength. As lone soldiers, we are only prey, and we have no power to fight back"    

Deep One Warrior and the others gradually became restless.    

"But Dark Spawn will not abandon his own kind. As long as we send a message, there will be an alliance army coming to support us." The young Deep One Priest's voice was slightly hoarse, but deep as a rock, "We are not fighting alone. We are the people of the sea. We are Dark Spawn!"    

Deep One Warrior and the others gradually calmed down, and then they burst into cheers.    

"Dark Spawn!"    

"Dark Spawn!"    

"The sea! The sea!"    

...    

"Then," the young Deep One Priest paused, "in order to not let the people of any sea sacrifice their lives for nothing, I will change the route of the army. We will avoid the enemy's fortress until the reinforcements arrive. I will bear all the responsibility, for the people of the sea!"    

Deep One Warrior and the others were stunned by this arrogant statement, and then they burst into even louder cheers.    

"People of the sea!"    

"People of the sea!"    

"The children of the sea!"    

... "The son of the sea!"    

...    

Very good, his heart can be used...    

Under the comforting of the young Deep One, Deep One Warrior and the others quickly calmed down and prepared to turn around.    

As for the young Deep One Priest himself, he hid deep within the waves, stroking his cane that was embedded with pebbles.    

Controlling the waves required one to concentrate, especially under the current circumstances.    

He had to put his life on the line...    

The young Deep One Priest gripped his cane tightly.    

Then let's see who's faster...    

————————    

In the distance, the Deep One alliance army.    

The priests of the Church were discussing the current situation.    

"Four baits have already been eaten, aren't we going to surround them?" Deep One Priest, who was holding the hook, was the first to speak.    

"Before the encirclement is completed, the baits are just baits." The priest who was holding the spear replied, "The enemy's moving fortress is very troublesome. If we can't stop them in one battle, it will be even harder to catch them next time."    

Deep One Warrior came closer and said something to the pike-wielding priest.    

The spear-wielding priest's fish face twisted into a smile.    

"Alright, the allied forces are in position." The spear-wielding priest waved his spear. "Now is the best time to deal with the enemy."    

"Don't worry about the God of the enemy. Dark Spawn has ways to fight back," the priest said.    

"Time is precious. Do not give the enemy a chance."    

The priest with the spear left, and the other priests followed closely behind.    

"Let's go."
