163 Murloc Assault

The soldiers had no ill intentions in letting Lawrence and the others hide in the warehouse. It was also a very formal operation to keep medical personnel in a safe place when the war broke out.

However, unlike ordinary medical personnel, Lawrence and Saphire, as extraordinary beings, have the ability to protect themselves on this battlefield. So they first asked a medical soldier left behind to prepare to receive the wounded. Then they followed the other to the front line.

The medical soldiers and the soldiers ran towards the breakwater together.

"Mr. August, why are you here?" The mustachioed second lieutenant looked at Lawrence and Saphire running over. His face was startled at first, and then he made a prompt decision, "In this way, you will stay here now.

Be a reserve team with me and my squad."

The second lieutenant's arrangement can be said to be impeccable: a big man like Lawrence who is important to him cannot be placed on the front line, and it is not suitable for him to return to the rear now. In this case, it should be said that he is placed next to him.

The best choice.

At the same time, from a military perspective, it is very necessary to leave an elite reserve team in battle to prepare for various emergencies. As the extraordinary beings with the most powerful combat capabilities present, Lawrence and Saphire were incorporated into the

The reserve force is also very consistent with military doctrine, and it is impossible for anyone to find fault with it.

Lawrence came here mainly to observe what a large-scale military operation is like, and he didn't want to cause trouble to others. So he and Seifer happily accepted the second lieutenant's arrangement, and soon the group climbed to a port building.

From the control tower behind the breakwater, we began to observe the entire battlefield.

The weather today can be said to be very good for Huguang City. Although there is still some fog near the water surface, the visibility in the sky is very good. Standing on the high dispatching tower, Lawrence saw the first thing floating above the main battlefield lake.

Those two huge airships.

Those are airships belonging to the Federal Air Force. They carry high-power searchlights and a complete set of magical communication and reconnaissance equipment. Whenever they project light beams onto a lake to indicate, a large number of artillery shells will soon roar towards them.

All the murlocs within the light range were blown into parts and scattered everywhere. Looking at the flash of exploding shells and the continuous sound of artillery in the direction of the main battlefield, you can guess how intense the frontal battlefield is.

Outside the port where Lawrence and the others are now, there are only some scattered fishmen attacking. Because the lake area in the Great Lakes area is huge, there are also tidal phenomena here like the sea.

For some unknown reason, the attack by the murlocs this time was not a direct impact with the rising tide as usual, but a sneak attack on the harbor during low tide when humans subconsciously relaxed their vigilance. It must be said that the cunning group

The fish-men extraordinary people came up with a very good method, at least in theory it is true.

However, before the war broke out, the defenders had deployed some simple early warning systems consisting of wooden sticks, ropes and scrap metal pieces in various nearby shoals and shallow water areas where they might be landed. And the group of murlocs covered in mud

The attacker touched the ropes while traveling, and then pulled the metal pieces tied to the wooden sticks tied to the ropes.

The clanging metal pieces provided a very effective early warning for the guards. After discovering that something was wrong, the sentries quickly sounded the alarm and summoned manpower. So when Lawrence and the others came to the dispatch tower, the guards below

They had already entered their fighting positions and started shooting at the group of murlocs struggling on the shoal exposed by the low tide.

The core plan of this Murloc attack was to use the mud on the body and the layer of fog close to the ground as cover to cross the shoal and reach the bottom of the breakwater, and then suddenly attack and catch the humans by surprise. But what I didn't expect was that it would trigger on the road.

raised the alarm, making the attack self-defeating.

Since the main force is stationed on the island at the entrance of the harbor, there are not many murlocs who can infiltrate. Moreover, the terrain of the port and the contents of the warehouse area also determine that even if the murlocs succeed, they will not be able to leave here with their loot.

Therefore, based on these circumstances, the commander of this area, Second Lieutenant Mustache, judged that the only possibility for this group of fishmen to attack here is to create enough commotion to force the local defenders to ask for help, and then hold back as many active forces in the city as possible.

"Didn't it mean that the IQ of the fishmen is not as good as that of the goblins, just like wild beasts?" Saphiel stepped forward, stood up on tiptoes, and whispered to Lawrence's ear. "So is such a complicated plan really a fish?

Can anyone think of it?"

"The low IQ of the murlocs refers to the ordinary murlocs who account for the vast majority of the murlocs, but the extraordinary ones among them are not only not stupid, but also very smart. Humans and murlocs have suffered several tragic defeats in the history of war.

Basically, it has something to do with the plans of these cunning fish-men extraordinary people." Lawrence explained in a low voice, recalling the information he saw in the library of St. Gutenberg Cathedral.

Not all extraordinary people have mastered all kinds of knowledge about extraordinary monsters by reading a lot of books like Lawrence. In view of the preciousness of knowledge and the low speed of knowledge exchange in this world, most extraordinary people, especially non-spellcasters,

Extraordinaries' knowledge of monsters outside their scope of activity is limited to the most basic things.

In particular, extraordinary beings like Saphiel who are purely masters and apprentices have greater problems in acquiring knowledge and have more loopholes, so she doesn't know much about this kind of fish-men that are only common near the water.

It's completely normal.

"So that's it. It seems that I still have to learn a lot on the road to becoming a transcendent." After receiving Lawrence's answer, Saphiel nodded seriously and decided to keep this knowledge in mind.

While Lawrence and Saphiel were discussing the issue about the murlocs, the battle below the dispatch tower was still going on. Or to be precise, it was a massacre of the murlocs.

Since the local area is an artificial port, the water depth outside the channel dug by dredgers is not very deep. The special local topography has turned these shallow water areas into shoals with a water depth of only 20 to 30 centimeters.

It was extremely difficult for the murlocs to move in an area where they could neither swim nor walk, so they became targets after they were discovered. They could not withstand the shooting of the guards on the breakwater and were temporarily placed on the top of the five- to six-meter-high dike.

What damage does the defenders behind the fortifications do.

"Don't worry, these murlocs can't come up -" Looking at the murlocs who were knocked to the ground by bullets on the beach, Lieutenant Mustache looked proud, but at this moment, chaos suddenly broke out on the side of the breakwater.

What caused the chaos was a large ice crystal that spread out in a cone shape. Everyone within the area covered by this ice crystal was covered with a layer of frost, and the movements of their hands also stopped.

Taking advantage of this gap, three murlocs that were slightly larger than the other murlocs suddenly jumped out. They held maces embedded with various metal fragments in their hands, and they defeated several defenders in one fell swoop.

.

"This -" The second lieutenant who was slapped in the face as soon as he boasted about Haikou immediately turned black. However, he was definitely not the kind of person who would disregard the lives of his subordinates for the sake of his own face. After discovering that something was wrong, he immediately prepared to send an order to his subordinates to follow the instructions.

It was a pre-arranged plan to retreat to the warehouse area and continue to resist.

But when he was about to give the order, Lawrence stopped him directly.

"There is no need to retreat for the time being, otherwise this group of fishmen may climb up the embankment and create the illusion that the place has fallen to lure the main force in the city to come for rescue."

While talking, Lawrence took off his rifle from behind and started loading bullets, then aimed at a black figure hidden in the darkness on the side of the port testing area, and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang -" With a dull gunshot, an enchanted bullet flew over a distance of more than two hundred meters at high speed and penetrated into the eyes of a fish-man shaman holding a pearl-coral cane in his hand. After destroying the

Its brain then flew out from the back of his head, creating a rose made of flesh and bone on the back of his head.
