Crimson Overlord-Chapter 360: Attack!

The following morning, Orpheus was true to his role as Luna’s butler. He stood outside her cabin door, his posture erect and his expression serious. He knocked softly, his voice calm and respectful.

"Good morning, My lady," he said. "Breakfast is served."

Luna emerged from her cabin, dressed in a simple gown. She thanked Orpheus for waking her and followed him to the dining hall. She was feeling uncomfortable because of his current image, different from what she knew but she could only sigh and chuckle. It was more challenging than she had initially anticipated.

After breakfast, Orpheus suggested that they explore the ship. Luna agreed, eager to see more of this magnificent vessel. They wandered through the ship’s corridors, marveling at the intricate carvings and the polished brass fittings. They visited the engine room, where they watched the engineers tend to the ship’s powerful engines.

As they explored the ship, Orpheus continued to play his role as Luna’s butler. He carried her belongings, opened doors for her, and anticipated her every need. Luna was grateful for his assistance, but she also found his constant attention a bit stifling.

Later in the day, they went up on deck to enjoy the fresh air. The sea was calm, and the sun was shining brightly. Orpheus stood behind Luna, his gaze fixed on the horizon. Luna leaned against the railing, lost in thought.

As Orpheus and Luna prepared to retire to their cabins, the ship was suddenly jolted by a series of violent impacts. A loud alarm blared, filling the air with a cacophony of noise.

Orpheus chuckled, his amusement undiminished. "Looks like we’re under attack," he said, his voice calm and collected.

Luna, however, was less amused. Her eyes widened in alarm as she looked out the window. She could see large, winged creatures circling the ship, their claws and beaks glinting in the moonlight.

"We should go and see what’s happening," she suggested, her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and fear.

Orpheus nodded in agreement. "Let’s go."

They made their way to the deck, where they found the crew scrambling to defend the ship. The flying creatures were attacking the ship’s hull, their claws tearing at the metal.

Orpheus and Luna watched as the crew fought back, their weapons flashing in the moonlight. The battle was fierce, but the crew was outnumbered.

Suddenly, a loud explosion rocked the ship. The creatures were repelled, and the attack was over. The crew cheered, their relief palpable.

Orpheus and Luna exchanged glances. They had witnessed a dangerous situation, but they had also witnessed the courage and bravery of the crew. It was a reminder of the dangers that lurked in the world, but it was also a testament to the human spirit.

The flying creatures that attacked the ship were indeed vicious harpies and gargoyles, creatures of myth and legend. The harpies, with their bird-like bodies and human faces, were known for their cruelty and their love of violence. The gargoyles, with their grotesque features and bat-like wings, were said to be guardians of evil.

The harpies and gargoyles descended upon the ship in a frenzied attack. Their claws raked at the hull, tearing at the metal. Their beaks pecked at the ship’s sides, leaving deep gouges. The crew fought back valiantly, using their weapons to ward off the creatures.

The battle was fierce and bloody. The harpies and gargoyles were relentless, their attacks relentless. The crew fought with courage and determination, but they were outnumbered and outmatched.

Suddenly, a loud explosion rocked the ship. A fireball erupted from the ship’s side, engulfing several harpies and gargoyles in flames. The creatures shrieked in pain, their wings flapping wildly.

The crew cheered, their relief palpable. The attack had been repelled, but the damage to the ship was severe. The hull was punctured in several places, and the sails were torn.

Orpheus and Luna watched the battle from a safe distance.

As the harpies and gargoyles retreated, a group of mercenaries stepped forward. These were hired by the ship’s commander, a band of hardened warriors known for their brutality and skill. freewebnøvel.coɱ

They were a fearsome sight, their bodies clad in heavy armor, their weapons glinting in the moonlight. They charged at the retreating harpies and gargoyles, their battle cries echoing through the night.

The battle that ensued was a brutal spectacle. The mercenaries fought with a ferocity that was unmatched. They slashed and hacked at the creatures, their swords and axes leaving a trail of blood.

The harpies and gargoyles fought back with equal ferocity. They swooped down from the sky, their claws raking at the mercenaries. Their beaks pecked at the warriors’ armor, trying to break through their defenses.

The battle raged for what seemed like hours. The deck of the ship was a bloody battlefield, littered with the bodies of fallen creatures and warriors.

Finally, the harpies and gargoyles retreated, their numbers greatly diminished. The mercenaries stood victorious, their swords and axes dripping with blood.

Orpheus and Luna watched the battle from a safe distance. They were amazed by the skill and bravery of the mercenaries.

The battle was over, and the ship was safe. The crew cheered, their relief palpable. Orpheus and Luna exchanged glances, their eyes filled with awe.

The mercenaries sheathed their weapons, their faces etched with the strain of battle. They stood in a circle, their eyes fixed on the horizon.

The ship’s commander approached the mercenaries, his face grim. "You have done well," he said. "Your bravery has saved this ship."

The mercenaries nodded, their expressions stoic. They had done their duty, and they were satisfied.

Orpheus and Luna watched the scene unfold. They had witnessed a terrible ordeal, but they had also witnessed the courage and bravery of the crew and the mercenaries. It was a reminder of the human spirit, and it filled them with hope.

As the sun began to rise, casting its first rays of light over the horizon, Orpheus and Luna made their way back to their cabins. They were exhausted, but they were also exhilarated. They had survived a terrifying ordeal, and they were grateful to be alive.

As they lay in bed, Orpheus and Luna could still hear the echoes of the battle.
