"Report to the legion commander, urgent information."
Gray Crow reported the ghost attack he just saw to Ai Lan.
Just now, he was almost sucked into the sea of ghosts.
Fortunately, because of the harpy, he had been scouting the outside and did not enter Desert Town.
"One wave and everything is gone?"
"It's all gone. Now the town is empty."
Although I don't know what tricks the enemy used, the intensity is somewhat beyond the range of normal spells.
"It should be an air strike from the Pirate Council."
An organization with a mage group, with the assistance of the mage tower, can theoretically attack enemies from a very long distance.
This kind of blow is difficult to encounter in normal combat.
After all, how to lock the coordinates and how to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy is a big problem.
The situation of the Desert Pirates is somewhat special.
If it were to be an encounter, the Pirate Council would probably have to use divine weapons descending from the sky instead of ghost attacks.
"It's unlikely to be the wasteland pirates' own methods."
If there is such a method, it should be used a few hours ago.
Let people surround the city lord's mansion for several hours, and general energy is free.
The more Ai Lan thought about it, the more certain he became in his judgment.
"A large joint spell, no matter how fast it is, it will take several hours."
If it's slower, it won't be accurate.
"Our chances are good."
Through Gray Crow's reconnaissance, the situation in Huangyi Town has gradually become clearer.
If the situation doesn't change, Ai Lan will be done with this piece of meat.
"I'm just afraid that out of nowhere, someone will jump out of the darkness."
The water in the Old World is so deep that Ai Lan cannot grasp it at all.
The forces behind the sudden appearance of the black fleet have not yet been exposed.
With this secretive behavior, Ai Lan basically locked the Swamp Council.
If it were replaced by the Ocean Temple, it would probably be A in one wave.
However, the situation in the ocean department is a bit complicated now, and Ai Lan, an outsider, is really unsure.
The Pirate Council seems to be a supporter of the Ocean Temple on the surface, and has always strongly supported the orthodoxy of the Ocean Temple.
It's just a profession like piracy that everyone understands.
When the Ocean Temple is strong, it is naturally very well-behaved and doesn't even dare to fart.
Once it is weak, the first one to rush to bite it will definitely be the Pirate Council.
"Report to the commander of the corps, the situation found in the port area."
"The three leaders of the wasteland pirates left the battleship with a large number of soldiers and rushed towards the city gate."
"In addition, local indigenous forces rushed into the town again."
"The strength is probably around 2,000, and the level is unknown."
"Very good, continue reconnaissance."
Regardless of the large battleships, this wave of confrontation should be their last strength.
As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving by chance, but Ai Lan arrived at the right time.
"Speaking of which, there shouldn't be many troops on that large battleship now, right?"
"Full speed ahead."
Mangrove's underwater movement skills haven't been revealed yet.
At present, the research on Wrapping Root Level 2 and Bubble Resin Level 2 has been completed.
The mangrove collar's frontal combat effectiveness has been restored to half.
About half an hour later, the mangrove leader had reached the outside of the port area, and the alarm in the mage tower would be triggered if it went any further.
"This is it, get ready to start floating!"
"Arkiman, set up tactics and use entangled roots to drag the battleship into the water."
"If you are attacked too violently, give up immediately."
"The enemy's resistance was not strong, so he dragged this large warship into his territory."
"The power of the Longyan Tower is fully turned on. Once you find a danger that you cannot deal with, go into the water immediately."
"In short, self-preservation is the first priority."
"Yes, Master."
After Yalkiman received the order, the mangrove leader immediately began to take action.
Under the control of the city spirit, this strange half-city, half-plant creature, like a real underwater behemoth, quickly sneaked through the water.
As soon as they entered the territory of Wasteland Town, the Mage Tower immediately detected the presence of mangroves.
Looking at the huge red dot on the map, the stationed mage couldn't help but shed a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, "It's it again!"
With such a huge size, it must be the sea monster that attacked the fleet last time.
The wasteland pirates had long guessed that this big sea monster would come to attack again, so they secretly prepared many methods.
Unfortunately, before the sea monster arrived, a mysterious fleet arrived.
After a bloody battle, three of the four large warships sank directly.
And this sea monster suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea at this moment.
"No, the three leaders just left!"
The resident mage quickly spread the news about the appearance of the sea monster.
The moment he received the news, Samoyed felt helpless in his heart.
Today's war is very similar to the last one.
Wave after wave of enemies came from outside, giving them no chance to breathe.
Although the Desert Pirates' only ally, or superior, provided a wave of support, there was no movement after that.
If Samoyed knew that it would take two days for the pirate council's fleet to arrive, he would probably feel even more desperate.
"What should I do? Are the Wasteland Pirates really going to be destroyed today?"
To be honest, with Samoyed's ability, he can do well wherever he goes.
The talent of soldier training can transform level 1 junk soldiers into level 3 soldiers.
If you join a small force, such as Ai Lan, a force that is just starting to grow, you can become a guest in minutes.
"How about I run away?"
The Wasteland Pirates are gone and there is still the Pirate Council, but it would be really cool if someone caught him and put him in a magic-forbidden prison.
Samoyed took out a scroll from his arms, hesitated for a moment, and then put it back.
It's not that he is very loyal to Wasteland Town. On weekdays, other pirate captains often suppress him overtly or covertly.
After all, Samoyed is a human being and is fundamentally different from other marine races.
"No, I have to go back."
He wanted to go back, but he couldn't bear to part with his large battleship.
You don't need to guess to know that the only large battleship that survived must be the Samoyed ship.
Samoyed spent too much effort on this battleship.
It can be said that after being a pirate for so many years, he spent almost half of his income on this ship.
"What is the origin of this big sea monster?"
One thing is certain about the Samoyed, it is definitely not an elite in the wild.
Not only is the behavior different, but the timing of its appearance is particularly precise every time.
If the wasteland pirates knew that this big sea monster was actually just a small lord who took a fancy to their wealth and came over desperately to take a bite, they would probably vomit blood collectively.
But they themselves are pirates, and they don't seem to have the right to be angry.
"Kids, hold on, I'm back!"
When Samoyed hurried back to the port area, his ship had already been entangled in the mangrove collar.
It's still the familiar scene, and it's still that extremely dangerous attack method.
"Use alchemical mines quickly!"
The wasteland pirates have really made serious preparations to deal with the threat of the sea monster.
Samoyed gave an order, and the pirates on the battleship immediately took out more than a dozen boxes of alchemical mines and threw them directly into the sea.
Boom boom boom!!
The moment the mine hit the water, most of the roots of the mangrove collar were blown off on the spot.
Even the bubble protective shield below was violently shaken by the explosion.
However, the new bubble shield has a total of 5 layers. Even if one layer is blown away, Ai Lan does not have to worry too much.
But this wave of counterattack by the desert pirates really surprised him.
"Using alchemy bombs to deal with the entanglement of mangroves is indeed a good way."
With a wave of counterattack, the entangled roots of the mangrove collar were directly knocked out.
But the port area is so big, where will they go next?
Soon, Ai Lan knew the answer.
"The Gate of Time and Space!"
Samoyed hurriedly returned to the battleship with his men, raised his hand and tore open a magic scroll.
Then, under a burst of magic power, the large battleship, together with Samoyed and all his men, disappeared in front of Ai Lan's eyes.
"He actually ran away."
This is actually a good choice. Instead of being destroyed here with other pirates, it is better to retreat strategically with your own family wealth.
"That's okay, it saves me some energy."
Samoyed's escape had completely exposed the weakness of Huangyi Town to Ai Lan's eyes.
"Treant Legion, prepare to attack!"
Without the entanglement of large warships, the mangrove leader quickly docked at the dock and released all the tree army.
Ai Lan's army is not large in number, but the average unit level is around level 4.
A stab at a critical moment will definitely make someone bleed.
"Gray Crow, what's going on with those natives now?"
"Report to the legion commander that they have rushed to the center of the town and are working hard to attack the city lord's mansion."
"What a quick move."
The natives of the Desert Islands must have chosen a temporary alliance leader, and it is even possible that they have already formally formed an alliance.
"Good fellow, this is about sharing a piece of land among thirteen lords."
When the time comes, they will probably fight each other's brains out.
After the mangrove leader put down a large number of soldiers, Ai Lan immediately let them dive back into the water.
"Come on, let's find a place to watch a show."
Their arrival added a bit of chaos to the already foggy battlefield.
The Mage Tower quickly reported the whereabouts of Ai Lan and his party to the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, the three pirate captains who were trapped in the city lord's mansion were already feeling a little paralyzed.
"The third child actually ran away!"
"The person behind the big sea monster also came out."
"What should we do now?"
The sea monster is an 8th-level legendary unit, although it hid underwater and did not come ashore.
But they are almost at the end of their fight. When all the soldiers in their hands are exhausted, what will they use to resist them?
"Brother, if that doesn't work, let's tear down the heart of the city and escape back to the Pirate Council!"
To tear down the heart of the city and then teleport to escape is a lord's last resort in a desperate situation.
Doing so would be tantamount to completely abandoning the city they have developed for many years.
However, it is better than letting the heart of the city fall into the hands of the enemy.
The snake man's proposal made Asgard fall into deep thought.
The fleet is gone, and most of the town has been demolished.
The wealth in the treasury has long been spent by them.
Now only the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion still contains a large amount of wealth.
If they abandon this town and return to the Pirate Council with the heart of the city, there seems to be a glimmer of hope for them to rise again.
However, in order to do this, Asgard must first ask the Pirate Council.
He can only do this if the Pirate Council agrees.
Because from the beginning, this heart of the city was an item of the Pirate Council.
They put it harshly, they are just a bunch of puppets.
If you really try to escape with a heart from the city, it will probably be confiscated in the blink of an eye.
Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try.
Even if it is given to the local indigenous people, Asgard does not want to give this heart of the city to his peers.
"Senna, General Hai, take everyone with you and prepare to challenge me!"
Asgard grinned, showing its fangs. It seemed that it was ready to fight to the end.
"Brother, fight with them!"
"Yes, let's fight them." The snake-man Sena responded equally loudly, but the Samoyeds ran away. Does it really still have the heart to fight to the death with people?
————————
On the other side, in the sky near the city lord's palace, a large group of harpies were releasing air spells under the leadership of a wizard.
At this moment, the leading banshee suddenly frowned.
"Someone is here again."
"It's the big sea monster from last time."
The appearance of the sea monster made everyone nervous.
"What does it want?"
"Send someone over to negotiate with it."
"If you just want wealth, then give it."
This is when several forces are at their weakest.
Ai Lan's appearance somewhat breaks the balance.
A harpy flapped its wings and quickly came to the front of the tree army.
"Outsiders, tell us your purpose."
"Our purpose?" Ai Lan walked out of the tree fortress, "I destroyed the wasteland pirate fleet."
"I must have a share of the spoils of this town."
"If you just want the loot, no problem."
They discussed this before launching the attack.
There are obviously many forces staring at Huangyi Town. If they want to eat it all in one go, their teeth may break.
In this case, why not share some of the loot and relieve the pressure.
"We can talk about it in detail when the war is over."
At this moment, Asgard had already led his soldiers to fight out of it.
Ai Lan took a look at their troop strength, which was less than 500, while the strength of the local indigenous troops was about 2,000.
"It seems you have a winning chance."
"No, no, no, this strange wood elf, please believe in our sincerity."
Now has reached the critical moment when the bayonet is bleeding, and no one can make mistakes at this time.
The harpy took out a contract and said very sincerely, "If you sign this contract, you will be our ally."
"You alone can take away 20% of the final spoils."
"Allies? Twenty percent?"
The sincerity of the local forces really surprised Ai Lan.
But his goal is the heart of the city, so getting a little loot is nothing.
"What if I say no?"
"We don't want to be your enemy, please put forward your conditions."
The harpy's face changed slightly. Seeing that Ai Lan had no intention of forcefully taking action, she calmed down and prepared to start negotiations.
"Very good, I like negotiating."
Ai Lan would naturally like to hear and see whether he can do it or not.
His attitude also made the Harpy secretly breathe a sigh of relief, just as the two sides were preparing for further negotiations.
"boom..."
The energy shield of the City Lord's Mansion shattered with a crisp sound.
Immediately afterwards, the entire city's buildings seemed to have lost their souls and all withered and became silent.
"No!!!" The fish-man Asgard let out a desperate roar.
This scene clearly shows that the heart of the city has been forcibly dug out.
"who is it!?"
Everyone's eyes were looking towards the depths of the City Lord's Mansion.
Without access permission, even heroic units cannot forcefully break through the blockade of the heart of the city.
Who can break through the protective shield, sneak into the depths of the city lord's palace, and dig out the heart of the city?
