This journey by train was not entirely smooth sailing. For example, the train stopped on average once a day along the way, and then there was loud sound of gunfire. Through the window, Lawrence could see some shit-yellow men with nothing more than sticks and stones in their hands.
The woods on both sides of the goblin railway swarmed out and tried to rob the train, but were defeated in pieces by the weapons equipped on the train.
Attacks like this were repeated several times during the five-day journey, but that does not mean that all attacks on trains were like farces. For example, on the morning of the last day, when the train reached the shores of Green Lake, the southernmost of the six Great Lakes.
, a large group of murlocs emerged from the lake. The water magic released by several of the shamans even had some impact on the train.
So at this time, the conductor contacted the extraordinary beings who had registered when they got on the train one by one. According to the system requirements, the extraordinary beings on the train need to lend a helping hand when they encounter attacks. Lawrence and Saifei naturally wore
Pack your equipment and go to the designated location to assemble.
Of course, this kind of assistance is limited to defense. So after gathering, Lawrence and other registered extraordinary beings, under the command of the security team on the train, cooperated with them to kill the murlocs that hindered the train's progress and the monsters they drove.
But soon, everyone discovered that more and more fish people were rushing out of the lake. Although the firepower on the train and the magical defense of the train carriages could ensure that the train was not damaged, the train would not be able to move forward.
"We must kill the leader of the murlocs, otherwise this battle will definitely be endless." Through observation during the battle, Lawrence discovered that this group of murlocs actually continued to charge against the attacks on the train. And
According to the information he had read before, the murlocs, like the goblins, were timid monsters that relied on numbers. Under normal circumstances, they would have retreated long ago after so many people died. Instead of charging forward one after another.
It was obvious that the captain of the on-board security team who often ran this route was also aware of this. Soon a member of the security team came to Lawrence and began to recruit volunteers who were willing to take the initiative among the extraordinary people in Lawrence.
"There are a total of seven fish-man shamans under command below." The security guard said, "The most powerful apprentice shaman among them and the other three shamans close to it will be taken care of by our captain.
The other three shamans hope that one of you can volunteer to help us."
"If no one is willing to help, then we can only defend where we are. Although this group of fishmen alone will definitely not be able to break the train's defense, the train will naturally not be able to continue moving forward. We can only wait for Huguang City.
Reinforcements have been sent to help us."
"How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?" Saphiel suddenly asked. Since we know that this group of fishmen cannot cause substantial damage to the train, it is not a bad thing to stand still and wait for reinforcements. The only thing I don't know is
How long will it take for the support troops to arrive?
"We just contacted Huguang City, which is the closest to here, but the situation is not particularly good." The security guard shook his head. "Autumn is coming soon, and the annual fish-man attack season has also begun. For example,
Today, a large number of fishmen organized to attack Huguang City, so most of the nearby mobile forces have been transferred to the urban area."
"Is there no problem in Huguang City?" Lawrence asked, looking a little worried. He had just solved the problem of infectious diseases introduced by cultists at Eagle Castle, and now he encountered the murloc siege in Huguang City. This forced him to
I wonder if I am like Conan, who gets into trouble wherever he goes.
"What problems can there be in Huguang City?" After hearing Lawrence's question, the security guard looked calm. "At this time every year, the fishmen will besiege various human settlements around the lake three or four times. The people here have already
We are familiar with it. Of course, the only disadvantage to us is that we have to wait until at least the battle over there at night is over before we can send out reinforcements."
"Besides this place, how many obstacles are there on the way to Huguang City?" A soldier standing on the other side, covered in muscle lumps, asked in a rough voice, and then he looked at the people around him.
Explained. "I am in a hurry to go to the city to marry my fiancée. I promised to arrive in the afternoon. If I wait until the early morning, she will definitely be angry."
"This is the only place." The security personnel who were familiar with the local terrain raised their voices and explained to everyone present. "From here to Huguang City, only this section of railway is close to the lake, which is convenient for fishmen to attack. The railway ahead is
They are all laid out in inland areas, and the fishmen’s range of activities will never be too far from the water.”
"Then let's do it." The soldier from before shouted, "Just three apprentice-level fishman shamans will definitely not be the opponent of so many of us here. As long as we kill them, we can enter the city normally.
"
"Leave the one with magic missiles among the three murloc shamans to us." Lawrence and Saphiel discussed for a while and then took a step forward and said, "I am a formal spellcaster, kill it.
Absolutely no problem.”
In this era, due to the slow spread of all kinds of information, Lawrence was not recognized by others for his true identity. However, other extraordinary beings were also recognized after seeing that Lawrence and the others dared to take the initiative at such a young age.
It inspired the courage in my heart, so volunteers who were willing to take the initiative were soon gathered.
"The group of fish-man shamans are scattered and hiding on the lakeshore under the cliff about three meters high by the lake." The captain of the train security team is a mechanic. He just released his mechanical bird and obtained a large amount of
Information about the Murloc Shaman.
"Our artillery cannot hit there due to the placement and elevation issues, and the steam machine guns cannot hit targets under the cliff. Therefore, we must take the initiative to solve the problem."
"After a while, several artillery pieces at the front of the vehicle will conduct interdiction shots on the lake shore to block the fisherman and the extraordinary monsters they control. At the same time, the remaining personnel and steam machine guns will try their best to kill the enemies on the charge route for us.
When we hear the whistle blow, we rush out of the carriage, kill the shaman and then retreat."
"Understood." "Understood." "Got it." Everyone standing at the door responded in a hurry. After seeing everyone getting ready, the security captain shouted into the brass microphone next to him.
What sentence.
In an instant, a large number of explosive points appeared on the lake shore, tearing apart groups of fish and monsters rushing out of the lake, blasting them into the sky and completely tearing them apart.
At the same time, the steam machine gun that had been firing alternately with long and short bursts just now began to fire at the area where Lawrence and the others were going to attack. The extraordinary beings acting as cover also began to shoot at those guys among the fishmen who looked like commanders.
They. Soon, the path of impact was cleared.
"Woo--" Just at this moment, the train whistle sounded, and the captain waved his hand wearing a mechanical glove and shouted, "Now, rush--"
The car door was suddenly opened, Lawrence and Saifei rushed out of the car among the crowd, and then rushed towards the place they had previously detected.
The ground is now covered with a layer of murloc corpses. The fire suppression just now was very effective. Only a few murlocs escaped. However, the murlocs that were still able to move in Lawrence's path were all rushed forward.
Saphiel successfully stabbed him one by one and fell to the ground.
In just about ten seconds, Lawrence and the others successfully rushed to the target location. When they appeared on the edge of the cliff, the blue face of the fish-man shaman below was full of fear.
But even though he was scared, his hands were not idle. The crystal on the top of his cane flashed, and a [magic missile] went straight towards Saphiel who was rushing in front.
[Magic Missile] Just when the fish-man shaman raised his wand, Lawrence subconsciously launched a magic missile straight towards the fish-man's head. Because of his previous sparring experience, he knew that an attack like this would not hurt Sai.
Phil's.
Sure enough, Saphire directly raised her left hand and used a small arm shield fixed on her left arm to deflect the magic missile. However, when she was about to attack with her sword, she realized that the fishman shaman below had been killed by Lawrence
The magic missile ripped off the skull.
"Great job." Saphiel shouted and jumped off the three-meter-high cliff.
Seeing this scene, Lawrence immediately took a step forward, only to find Saphiel half-kneeling next to the body of the fish-man shaman, groping for something.
"Okay, let's retreat." Saphiel took out a black bag from the fish-man shaman's waistband, then grabbed the cane he used just now and jumped up directly. Then he and Lawrence followed the instructions
