Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1757 Octopus General
"Tremble! This is what happens when you anger General Octopus!!"

With a roar, the octopus monster, who called himself General Octopus, pounced at the Great Zhou Navy, which had already raised its Thunder Rifle in the distance, with astonishing speed.

During this process, the eight thick tentacles of the Octopus General unfolded simultaneously. Four of them were at the bottom, seemingly forming legs and feet to control the body's movement, while the other four acted as hands.

Even more outrageous is that each of the four tentacles that serve as hands is wrapped with a battle sword. Good heavens, this makes it a four-sword style.

During the attack, General Octopus was like a spinning top, wielding four swords and making a constant 'whooshing' sound, the four swords gleaming coldly.

Without a doubt, if you were to get caught in this, you would be sliced ​​into pieces instantly.

At this moment, the image of blood and gore flashed through General Octopus's mind, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, two battle swords suddenly appeared out of nowhere, followed by two crisp metallic clangs, forcefully blocking two of the Eight-Clawed General's battle swords and forcibly stopping his spinning top slash.

This situation left General Octopus momentarily stunned. He clearly hadn't expected this human to be able to force him to stop even after he had already begun his attack. However…

"Naive! I have four knives!!"

While scoffing, the Octopus General didn't stop moving for a moment. Its remaining two tentacles, wrapped around the battle blade, swiftly slashed at Kara.

In a flash, Kara relied solely on instinct to find the right angle, avoid the blade, and kick the blade of one of the battle knives. As she forcefully kicked it off course, she twisted her body, and the other battle knife swept past her body almost completely.

General Octopus's laughter abruptly stopped, his six-tenths human face filled with disbelief.

However, Kara had no time to think. Having neutralized the Octopus General's attack, she immediately switched from defense to offense. With a quick swing of her twin blades, she forcefully swept away the opponent's twin blades and, following that momentum, unleashed a series of consecutive slashes!
Kara was well aware of the immense advantage her opponent possessed, wielding four swords simultaneously. If she focused solely on defense, facing the continuous onslaught of four swords, defeat was only a matter of time.

To reverse the situation and avoid defeat, she must switch from defense to offense and overwhelm her opponent with a more swift and powerful offensive! Only through this offensive can she secure a sliver of hope!
With a flash of light and a splash of blue blood, a tentacle wrapped around the battle blade was instantly severed and sent flying!
The intense pain caused General Octopus's two bulging eyeballs to quickly become bloodshot, and a trace of panic involuntarily flashed through his mind.

However, their actions did not stop, and the remaining three swords quickly launched an attack on Kara.

If Kara was under immense pressure when her opponent used four swords, now that she only faces three swords, the pressure has been significantly reduced.

Kara, now feeling much more confident after successfully severing one of the Octopus General's tentacles, immediately repeated the same tactic.

Following her powerful instincts, Kara parried one of the knives with her knife, kicked away another, and then locked onto the third knife as her target, slashing at it.

During the brief exchange, Kara realized that the tentacles of the Octopus General in front of her were similar to those of an octopus. Although they had muscles, they lacked skeletal support, which made the Octopus General's attacks lack rigidity.

This is also the main reason why Kara, who is not known for her strength, was able to kick away the opponent's sword, break free from the two swords that were locked together, and launch an attack.

The tentacles of the Octopus General are relatively soft and boneless. Although they have muscles, they are still not strong enough to provide support.

This physical characteristic means that the Octopus General can only swing his sword at high speed like a whip, quickly killing enemies with the help of the sword's sharpness, but he basically lacks the ability to hold his own or fight in a contest of strength.

In the blink of an eye, another tentacle was severed by Kara's battle blade!

General Octopus is well aware of his own shortcomings.

But what he didn't expect was that this would be exposed so quickly. In the brief two rounds of fighting, the Octopus General, whose two tentacles had been severed, had all four tentacles on its body move at once and immediately retreat.

How could Kara let him off so easily?
He picked up his twin swords and prepared to give chase.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a large number of dark figures began to jump onto their ship from beneath the sea.

One of the dark figures, by sheer coincidence, leaped onto the ship and pounced directly at Kara, who had launched a pursuit.

Seeing this, Kara swung her sword and cut him in half at the waist on the spot!

The body was cut in two and fell onto the deck, splattering internal organs and blood everywhere.

Unlike the previous Octopus General, the figures that jumped onto the ship later were relatively short, about the same height as dwarfs.

They have fish-like heads, each with subtle differences in appearance, making it difficult for outsiders to distinguish them. Their bodies are covered with large areas of scales that resemble fish scales, but they also have humanoid hands and feet, wielding cold weapons that are very familiar to the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Let's call them fish-men for now.

Dozens of fishmen surrounded General Octopus, and as they charged forward, they occupied half of the deck.

Seeing this, Kara paused, stopped chasing, and even jumped back to join the ranks of the naval soldiers.

In that instant, without even needing an order, the naval soldiers, whose bullets were already loaded, simultaneously pulled the triggers.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Amidst the intense gunfire, the merman soldiers who had jumped onto the deck were quickly shot dead.

Similar incidents occurred on the decks of two other steam warships, clearly indicating that they were attacked by these fish-men simultaneously.

However, only Kara's ship was attacked by General Octopus.

Facing the human soldiers lined up and firing, General Octopus's face turned ugly. He wanted to rush forward and slice the human soldiers into pieces with his spinning top slash.

But seeing Kara standing at the back of the line with a knife, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.

Faced with those strange weapons, General Octopus quickly realized that the fishman soldiers simply couldn't break through.

Continuing to fight like this would only lead to certain death, so he roared and gave the order to retreat.

As he leaped into the sea, he didn't forget to try and save face.

"Despicable human! If you've got the guts, come fight me in the sea!"

Upon hearing this, Kara, who had caught up to the side of the boat, rolled her eyes and swiftly switched to the Thunder Rifle, emptying the magazine at the spot where General Octopus had jumped into.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Jump into the sea and fight a stinky octopus like you?"
