Captain Relf emerged from the sea, his wet, curly hair plastered to his forehead. He braced himself against the slippery wooden pillars at the edge of the dock, not bothering to wipe the seawater from his face, when he saw a purple signal flare light up above the Fish Market, then explode in the sky like fireworks.

Captain Relf muttered a curse under his breath: 'Damn it!'

Several Half-Elf carried a large Wooden Box filled with the catch past the platform overhead, and Captain Relf immediately sank into the sea to hide his whereabouts.

He only resurfaced after the Half-Elf had passed by.

The purple flare indicated that Yudora's whereabouts had been discovered by the port's elves, but she still had the ability to escape.

Captain Relf was not too keen on her going to buy food; there were plenty of fish in the sea, and she wouldn't go hungry.

As a magician, Yudora can cast the ' Water Gathering Spell ' spell, so there will be no shortage of fresh water on the ship.

Yudora wanted to visit the Fish Market, mainly so he could buy some fruit...

It's too late for me to get there and help.

At this point, Captain Relf knew he didn't need to wait any longer; instead of rushing to help, he might as well seize a ship and set sail.

About twenty meters away from him, a medium-sized seagoing vessel was moored, and several Half-Elf fishermen had just left carrying Wooden Box filled with fish.

He had been observing the sea for quite some time.

Not all the fishermen on the boat had left yet. He had planned to wait a little longer, until they had cleaned the boat and left, before stealing it...

But it's too late now; he can't worry about that anymore.

He patted the Square Hammer at his waist, climbed directly from the sea onto the wooden platform of the dock, his thick beard dripping water.

Captain Relf stared at the medium-sized ship and strode over.

His appearance alerted several Half-Elf who were cleaning a medium-sized ship. They all stood up from the fishing boat and saw Captain Relf holding Square Hammer. One of the Half-Elf was the first to jump off the ship.

The remaining Half-Elf quickly recovered from their initial shock, and the Half-Elf behind them picked up harpoons from the ship, staring warily at Captain Relf on the dock.

Captain Relf swung his warhammer fiercely, roared, and charged toward the Half-Elf on the medium-sized fishing boat.

The Half-Elf, who had just jumped off the ship, was not yet ready for battle when he saw the Dwarf Warrior charging towards him alone.

He only managed to shout one sentence, "What do you want to do?"

Captain Relf charged at the Half-Elf like a bull, his raised Square Hammer aimed at his chest. The Half-Elf had no time to dodge and charged at Captain Relf Captain Relf, trying to grab his wrists with both hands...

The Half-Elf used his strong arms to ram the chest of the Relf ship.

But he underestimated Captain Relf's strength. His hands were no match for Relf's right hand holding the warhammer, and the moment his shoulder struck Relf's chest, it was as if he had hit a hard rock.

Then I saw a Square Hammer fall from above, and everything went black...

Captain Relf smashed the Half-Elf's head with his hammer, shattering the skull. The Half-Elf -Half-Elf's corpse fell into his arms, which he tore apart and threw into the sea.

Captain Relf's offensive continued unabated. He took two more steps forward, opened his large hand, and grabbed the harpoon that was thrust at him. He then pulled the half- Half-Elf to his chest and dragged him in front of him. With his other hand, he used Square Hammer to smash the Half-Elf in the chest.

The Half-Elf was smashed so hard by Captain Relf that his sternum caved in, and he fell directly into the sea behind him.

In an instant, Captain Relf had already killed two Half-Elf and had one foot on the medium-sized ship.

The three remaining Half-Elf fishermen on the ship were terrified. They thrust their three harpoons at Captain Relf almost simultaneously, but Captain Relf dodged to the side and caught all the harpoons under his arm.

Captain Relf swung his Square Hammer at the three Half-Elf, forcing them to release their Half-Elf and fall from the fishing boat into the sea.

Many of the fishermen at the Shallow Water Pier are Half-Elf who participate in protests during the day but have to fish at night to supplement their income...

At this moment, everyone discovered that a dwarf madman had suddenly barged into the dock and was killing his fellow countrymen without saying a word. The Half-Elf on the other fishing boats immediately found weapons such as harpoons, Fishing Net, and long poles and jumped over from the other fishing boats.

Captain Relf jumped onto the medium-sized fishing boat and was about to reach out to untie the ropes binding him to the dock when he saw a group of Half-Elf emerge from the various fishing boats and rush toward him.

Perhaps due to their large numbers, some Half-Elf were shouting loudly:

"Murder! Murder! Don't let him get away!"

Having killed two elves, Captain Relf's Captain Relf Gray Dwarf completely ignited. He was in a killing frenzy. When he saw three Half-Elf emerging from the sea near the ship, he immediately jumped in front of them and swung his Square Hammer at the sea.

A huge splash erupted on the sea surface, and before the two Half-Elf fishermen could even catch their breath, Captain Relf struck them on the head, sending them crashing into the sea.

A patch of bright red churned in the seawater...

Behind Captain Relf appeared the phantom of a Gray Dwarf ancestor, his veins bulging, his muscles bulging, and his body growing as if inflated.

Half-Elf fishermen had already arrived, but before they could even step onto the medium-sized fishing boat, Captain Relf had already rushed over from the ship.

The fisherman pierced Captain Relf's chainmail with his harpoon, and sparks flew.

Captain Relf swung his Square Hammer and smashed it into the elf fisherman's shoulder. The fisherman's left shoulder was smashed into a bloody mess, and he screamed as he fell into the sea.

Captain Relf is unstoppable in the midst of the chaos...

He was extremely anxious because angry Half-Elf kept charging at him, making it impossible for him to get away and set sail.

In fact, a dazzling purple firework exploded in the night sky, and the Academy Instructor and Captain Simpson waiting at the sentry post immediately took action.

Releasing Magic Signal Flare in the night sky at this time, regardless of who releases it, is sure to bring about something big.

Several instructors from the Elf Academy ran towards Castleton Harbour at almost the same time. Although the magician Scarlett was a step slower, she took out a Magic Broom from her pouch and instantly rode the Magic Broom into the night sky.

Captain Simpson quickly assembled the Elven Guard.

High Priest Reed and Jasper were a little slower, but they tried their best to keep up with the others.

The small square on the west side, near the Seaside Castle, was not far from the Castleton Harbour dock. Several Academy Instructor, all Warrior Class, quickly crossed the Deep Water Pier at full speed...

The Shallow Water Pier was in complete chaos.

When the instructors arrived at the edge of the Shallow Water Pier, they saw a dwarf wearing chainmail wielding a one-handed hammer, repeatedly smashing some Half-Elf fishermen into the sea.

"Relf!"

Captain Simpson rode up from behind on a white horse and shouted.

He charged ahead onto the long platform made of wooden planks, drew his longsword from his waist, and had already spotted Captain Relf standing on the medium-sized ship.

At this moment, the bodies of more than a dozen Half-Elf were floating on the sea, and the splashes of water in the darkness were stained with a blood-red hue.

The phantom of the Elf Sword Dancer appeared behind Captain Simpson...

Captain Simpson leaped from his horse and pounced on Captain Relf on the ship.

Relf straightened up and roared furiously at Captain Simpson, raising his Square Hammer to meet the longsword in Captain Simpson's hand.

At that moment, the ship beneath Relf's feet suddenly sank downwards...

The moment Captain Simpson lunged forward, his longsword flashed like a blur, bypassing Captain Relf's warhammer and slicing towards his neck.

A fierce glint appeared in Captain Relf's eyes as he forcefully raised his other hand.

A Dwarf Chain Shield appeared out of thin air on his arm, and the sharp Heavy Sword struck the edge of the Dwarf Chain Shield, instantly producing a burst of sparks.

The sound of metal rubbing together is particularly piercing...

Captain Simpson adjusted his body the instant he landed, landing steadily on the fishing boat.

Captain Relf charged at Captain Simpson with his Dwarf Chain Shield. Captain Simpson tried to block Captain Relf's charge with his Heavy Sword, but was forced back by the brute force.

At this moment, Instructor Virgil, wielding Dual Swords, also arrived at the battlefield. He rushed out from behind Captain Simpson and instantly appeared to Captain Relf's right side, his Dual Swords slashing at Captain Relf's arm like scissors.

Captain Relf dared not confront Instructor Virgil's strangulation head-on, so he turned and swung his shield at Instructor Virgil, followed by a smash with the Square Hammer in his other hand.

Instructor Virgil's Dual Swords were blocked by Relf's shield, and a one-handed hammer came crashing down.

Instructor Virgil's face, which had been full of confidence and ease, suddenly turned extremely ugly.

With his one-handed hammer and Dual Swords tangled together, Instructor Virgil was unable to break free and could only watch helplessly as Relf raised his shield and smashed it down on his face.

Instructor Gru held his battle longbow in one hand, crouching in the shadows at the edge of the dock, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow.

Three arrows flew from Instructor Gru's hands, the Wind Element arrows piercing the night sky as they hurtled towards Captain Relf.

Captain Relf turned his head as if sensing something...

The first arrow grazed Captain Relf's cheek, leaving a gash on his left side.

The other two arrows pierced his left shoulder and left rib, respectively.

Instructor Virgil took the opportunity to dodge Captain Relf's shield strike. At that moment, Captain Simpson also pounced from the side, his Heavy Sword slicing towards Relf's arm along the edge of his shield.

Seeing that more and more elven Warrior Class were arriving, Captain Relf knew he was outmatched and immediately planned to abandon ship and jump into the sea...

He pulled the warhammer closer to his chest, while pushing the shield outwards, causing Instructor Virgil to quickly step back.

Captain Simpson's Heavy Sword was also blocked by Captain Relf.

Captain Relf leaped into the sea like a cannonball.

Magician Scarlett had been waiting on a nearby ship for a long time, immediately lit up the Magic Rune Array in her hand as the incantation ended.

'freeze'

Captain Relf watched as the sea beneath his feet rapidly froze. He slammed his head into the ice, instantly cracking the ice that had formed on the surface.

Immediately, Captain Relf also fell dizzily onto the ice, his body covered in frost.

A net was cast, and Captain Relf in the sea had nowhere to escape, instantly being caught in it.
