138. Waterdeep-2! (Coming! Coming!)

Although Zoro's memory is already very good now.

But once there are too many memories, it will take a while to find something familiar but not important.

Just when Sauron was thinking hard and digging into the memories deep in his memory.

The distance between the convoy and Waterdeep City is getting closer and closer.

The faces of the city defense soldiers and the mottled marks on the city wall became gradually clear.

The solemn faces looked at the travelers coming and going expressionlessly.

Whenever someone or a convoy is about to enter the city they are guarding behind, someone among them will go up to conduct an interrogation and search.

But even so.

The city behind them also experienced countless hardships from its initial establishment to collapse and reconstruction.

The city wall "covered with scars" is a witness to it.

It has witnessed the rise, fall, honor and disgrace of countless human beings in the city.

The murderous atmosphere of iron and blood has not dissipated even after hundreds of years of wind and rain, and has been lingering around the base of the wall.

On the several-meter-wide wall were currently placed a series of ferocious ballistae.

The crossbow arrows, which were as thick as a baby's arm, emitted a biting cold light in the sunlight.

They will deal a fatal blow to any incoming enemy.

This naturally includes humans themselves.

certainly.

These are not the only ones guarding the safety of this city.

There is also a spacious "big river" in front of this huge city wall that is difficult for ordinary people to overcome.

This "big river", which is about ten meters wide and bottomless, is like a pair of big hands embracing this medieval city.

It is the moat of Waterdeep.

in the sun.

The calm river surface shows a blue color.

The sparkling water was occasionally broken by the fin of a triangle fish.

These vertical fins that broke through the water surface first swam back and forth quickly on the water surface and then submerged into the water again and disappeared.

Bloodthirsty Thorn!

Also known as man-eating thorn.

It has a dorsal fin that resembles a shark.

The body is somewhat similar to the piranha.

The individual size is not very large compared to those large fish, and is only about the size of a medium-sized dog.

Although Man-Eating Thorn cannot use magic power, it is extremely bloodthirsty and highly adaptable.

They like to live in groups.

Very territorial.

Any creature that appears in their living area will be attacked by them without fear of death.

The excellent sensing organs can easily detect the movement of any living creature hundreds of meters away.

Their sharp teeth and bite force far exceeding their body size allow them to easily tear through the fur and scales of most ordinary monsters.

Fierce temperament.

Accurate capture.

They are strange fish creatures accidentally caught by the Edward family during an ocean expedition, and then kept in captivity in this moat.

No one knows how many of these bloodthirsty creatures live in this moat that connects to the endless sea.

The emergence of man-eating spines also allows Waterdeep to prevent attacks from inland and marine creatures to a certain extent. The only drawback may be that humans and animals cannot be distinguished.

Any human or beast that falls into their living waters will be bitten with merciless bloodthirsty.

But it is precisely this characteristic.

Some lawless elements who have lived in Waterdeep are quite fond of the creatures trapped in this moat.

This scene also attracted many travelers who came to Waterdeep City for the first time to stop and watch.

It’s just that the ignorant have nothing to fear.

No one knew how terrifying these creatures were, but they all pointed at the fish fins that were exposed on the water and swimming back and forth quickly.

Most people are quite curious about this underwater creature that has never been seen before.

Naturally, this includes the group of farm men among Sauron and his party.

Even if you live by the sea all year round.

These men have never seen such a marine creature.

"Arpad, look, what is that?"

The swarthy man accompanying the motorcade patted the shoulder of another swarthy man in front of him.

His calloused fingers crossed the suspension bridge without any guardrails on his side and pointed at the fish fins exposed in the air in the moat not far away.

As an ordinary serf in the Baron of Isis, Wilt was very lucky to be a member of Sauron's escort team this time.

"Wirt, I don't know."

Arpad shrugged and said he didn't know.

Like Wilt, he was also one of the serfs accompanying him this time.

"But Wilt, my intuition tells me that these things are not very friendly."

"I suggest we don't stop here."

"As you know, my intuition has always been very accurate."

"Arpad, I think so too."

Regarding Wilt's words, Arpad nodded in agreement.

certainly

Except for two people.

Others in Sauron's motorcade also noticed the fins exposed to the air in the river, and they all whispered to people they knew well.

The team's progress did not stop because of this, and was still moving forward slowly.

The suspension bridge of more than ten meters disappeared in a flash.

When the leading chocobos Alice and Peter stepped out of the rusty iron suspension bridge under their feet, the team's progress was stopped by someone without any surprise.

"Stop."

A middle-aged soldier came to the front of the convoy and stretched out his hand to block the movement of the convoy.

An iron standard long sword.

Tan Boar King Leather Armor.

This is the standard equipment for Waterdeep city defense troops.

"Where did it come from?"

Camilo's slightly sunken eyes looked a little sinister, and there was also a hint of impatience in his tone.

Waterdeep's city defense has always implemented a rotation system.

Each city gate leading to the outside world is assigned at least two city defense teams to guard in turns.

And according to the original arrangement.

As one of the three city defense teams at the north gate of Waterdeep, the Camillo team was supposed to have a day off today.

However, a series of things that happened in the city yesterday not only made the residents of the city panic, but also disrupted all the arrangements of the team leader Camilo for the next day.

First, violent explosions that frequently occurred in the city drew away a large number of city defense troops in Waterdeep City.

Then, after nightfall, a group of mysterious people dressed in white appeared, causing the city that had finally stabilized to "go wild" again.

Although the riot was quickly suppressed by the adults in the city.

But the impact will not dissipate in such a short time.

From yesterday to now, it can be said that Camilo has not even seen each other.

The red eyes were covered with a lot of red bloodshot eyes.

Long hours of high-intensity work made him extremely irritable at the moment.

"My lord, we are a convoy from the Barony of Isis."

"I came to Waterdeep City this time to process some special materials and exchange for some necessary supplies."

"The people in the car are Lord Isis and his maid..."
