Chapter 411: V3 Ch 68. The conqueror of the Abyss

BANG BANG BANG

All guns opened fire.

The monster was not going to let itself be shot, and started diving again.

I ordered the destroyers to bomb it, while I launched the first salvo of torpedoes.

‘Splash’

Pom Pom

The depth charges could only force the monster to surface again. Luckily, the torpedoes were right where I needed them to be when the dragon surfaced.

However, they narrowly missed.

BANG BANG BANG

Using that little timeframe we had, the ships fired at the dragon, and we scored several hits.

I tried to repeat torpedo attack again.

I could’ve used the entire squadron’s torpedoes but then I wouldn’t get my points.

Greed kills, this time it can be the exact outcome.

‘Splash’

Pom Pom

The torpedoes flew into the water with grace. The traces headed right towards where the dragon is.

It surfaced, after being deafened by the depth charges’ explosions.

‘RAAAAAAAA!!!’

Then…

BOOM BOOM

‘RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!’

The dragon’s mighty body fell back into the water.

‘PING-Ping-Ping-PiNG’

Its movements became chaotic, as if it was struggling to stay afloat.

The torpedoes delivered a catastrophic hit.

Still, the beast was not dead yet.

Pom Pom

With every missed shot and charge, the dragon was approaching.

You are reading story I died and was reincarnated as Warship in a fantasy world at novel35.com

I couldn’t let ourselves turn away, since we would miss most of the guns and depth charge projectors.

“All pennants, fire depth charges.”

[“Orders confirmed.”]

Pom Pom

‘Splash’

The deafened sea dragon was forced to emerge but the timing was off. The torpedoes were still far away, and they had little to no chances of hitting.

BANG BANG BANG

I was firing all guns available. Just for the sake of stalling the dragon.

It already submerged, when the torpedoes were approaching it.

[Damn you! I’ll gut you like a fish!]

BOOM BOOM

Two pillars of water shot up.

The pinging of the sonar started fading, until all I could hear was the sound of the destroyers’ propellers.

“I… I guess it’s dead…?” I might be raising a flag but I had the reasons to consider it dead.

It soaked in four torpedoes. Not every battleship would survive this much.

In the end, fortune did not spare the sea monster.

Its huge body was left to sink into the abyss.

The squadron successfully finished off a dragon, and we headed back home.
