Lawrence and Saphire were the first group to complete the assigned task, so they deliberately slowed down when they retreated to the carriage to prepare to cover the others. After all, battles are like this, no matter how perfect the plan was before, they can't really do it.
If we start a fight, I will have accidents like this. And when extraordinary people act collectively, it is also essential to take the initiative to help each other.
Sure enough, it took the captain and his team members a little longer than planned to kill the four shamans, so that when they retreated, they were pursued by a large group of fishmen.
Although the cannons on the train were indeed firing with all their strength, when Lawrence and the others came into contact with the shaman, the cannons were naturally sparse in order to avoid hurting them. As a result, a large group of fishmen successfully washed up on the shore.
.
This group of murlocs indeed failed to save their shaman from the attackers on the train, but they successfully bit the escaping guard captain and the others.
[Missile Storm], seeing the members of the security team being chased by a group of murlocs, Lawrence immediately released his magic on the group of murlocs behind him, and at the same time pulled the trigger of his left hand pistol. Saphiel also pulled the trigger from his waist at the same time.
He took off a bottle of burning potion from the armor belt and threw it into the chasing murlocs.
In an instant, the dozen or so murlocs who were chasing the most forward fell down like meadows blown by the wind. At the same time, a ball of flames burning with yellow missions was ignited behind the murlocs to block them.
The pursuers were defeated. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone successfully retreated to the safe compartment of the armored train.
The beheading operation of the fish-man shaman went very smoothly. After counting, all the extraordinary beings who took the initiative just now successfully completed the task and returned to the carriage smoothly. The only unlucky one, the muscular warrior, was suddenly injured because of the fight.
Hot Blood rushed forward a little, and as a result, the fishman stabbed a hole in his calf with a bone fork in his hand.
"Don't worry, it's okay. It really doesn't have to be so troublesome to deal with wounds." Lawrence looked impatient when he used bandages and spirits from the car to disinfect and bandage him. After all, he had dozens of large and small wounds on his body.
There were several wounds, but this time the wounds were relatively minor.
"Don't be careless." Lawrence said while bandaging, "If you are really infected, you will be in trouble. Although extraordinary people are much stronger than ordinary people in this regard, it does not mean that they will not be harmed at all. If I remember not
If it’s wrong, there will always be a few extraordinary people in Eagle Castle every year who need to apply to pay a lot of money to ask priests to release high-level magic or who have no money and are forced to have their limbs amputated——”
At this moment, a whistle sounded from the direction of the front of the train. Then with a burst of vibration, the train slowly moved forward.
After losing all the shamans who commanded the front line, the fish people completely returned to their rabble-like nature. After a burst of fierce artillery fire and machine gun fire, the way forward for the train was completely opened. By the time Lawrence helped several injured people deal with their wounds
, the captain of the security team walked over from the direction of the front of the car.
"Thank you very much for your help." Looking at the extraordinary passengers who had just taken the initiative to participate in the assault, the captain smiled directly. "As a thank you, our Federal Railways will waive your ticket price this time. At the same time, we will provide you with
Everyone sends 35 yuan as a thank you."
Of course, these 35 yuan are only available to passengers who participated in the active assault. Those extraordinary people who only participated in defense only received free train tickets as a reward.
"Ha, we are really lucky." After returning to the box, Saphire said while taking off the simple half-body plate armor and the metal forehead protector tied to his head with the help of Lawrence. "It's so simple.
In just one hour, we basically made back all the money we had prepared for the trip.”
"This can only be said to be luck." Lawrence arrived after receiving the breastplate in a box and putting it into the space bag. "What's even better is that no one on the train was seriously injured by this attack."
The next journey was as far away from the lake shore as the captain just said, so the last journey was very smooth. More than three hours later, the slightly accelerated train successfully drove into a mountain in the fog according to the original scheduled timetable.
In the looming steel city.
"Didn't I say that half a century ago, Huguang City reached an agreement with the Emerald Dream, an organization of druids, to solve environmental problems in this area?" After walking out of the train station made of black steel and gray cement,
Saifei looked at the street in front of him with less than a hundred meters of visibility and complained, "Why is it still foggy here?"
"The Druids affiliated with the Agricultural Church have indeed cultivated a group of plants and fungi to purify the pollution caused by urban industry, but it is just fog and does not count as pollution. And there are so many running steam engines in urban industrial areas plus local
The special terrain causes the entire city to be shrouded in fog for at least half of the year." Lawrence shrugged.
"So the reason why Huguang City was named this is not only because when Huguang Town was the first town established here, you could see the beautiful lake light on the Green Lake in the town. There is also a very important reason.
When it was merged with several surrounding towns and converted into an industrial center, the people living here could not see the lake from the lake, so they chose the name of this somewhat historical town as the name of the city.
Express your expectations.”
"So that's it!" Saphiel nodded. "It feels like the factory owners here are much more enlightened than those at Eagle Castle, and they actually invite druids to help them reduce pollution."
"Enlightenment? This group of rich people will not have this kind of enlightenment." Lawrence curled his lips. "You must know that the Great Lakes area is not only conducive to the development of industry, but the surrounding environment also attracts many extraordinary people who practice the power of nature."
"According to the information I read in the Church of Knowledge, when this place was just industrialized, the factory owners were actually not willing to take various environmental protection measures because it would cost them more. But when two people nearby
After a demigod-level druid who was able to transform into a dragon brought a group of extraordinary magical beasts to talk to these factory owners, the factory owners immediately became staunch environmentalists."
"I should have thought before. It's more difficult for rich people to spend money to do some good things than to let a camel go through the eye of a needle." Saphire shook his head and sighed.
As the most important industrial city in the White Eagle Federation, Huguang City naturally has very convenient public transportation. In addition to the common tramcars and public carriages, the canals throughout the city also provide rental boats for everyone to travel.
The operation of a steam engine requires not only coal, but also enough water. Therefore, in this kind of old industrial city, there is often a well-designed canal network.
On the one hand, the canal network can provide sufficient water for steam engines. On the other hand, these canals can also help various factories transport raw materials and products.
However, with the further development and popularization of steam engines, the transportation of materials between factories will soon be completed by more efficient railways. At the same time, steam water pumps can also provide enough water to factories through pipelines. Therefore, emerging industries like Eagle Fort
There are basically not many canals like this in the city.
Since the murlocs' attack has not stopped until now, even in the city, Lawrence and the others can still hear bursts of cannons and the sound of various firearms firing. Sometimes they can even see powerful extraordinary beings releasing certain weapons.
The abnormality caused by the moves.
But just as the captain in the car said, this large-scale attack by fishmen every year has become a part of local people's life, so the local people in front of the train station are still doing themselves as usual.
things.
Soon, Lawrence negotiated a price with a boatman on the canal, and then he and Saphire took his boat along the river towards the city center.
