After half an hour, Lawrence and the others successfully eliminated all the murlocs and the monsters under their command. At the same time, the gunshots and explosions in the direction of the main position gradually became sparse. Look.
Tonight's battle should be over. The fishmen's night attack can be said to have been a complete failure.
Because Lawrence and the others only had single-digit wounded and none of them were serious, so after treating their wounded in a short time, they sent out a group of medical soldiers with simple medical training to take them with them.
Various healing potions and medical tools went to the main position, ready to help Minato, who seemed to be fighting fiercely just now.
"How is the battlefield being cleaned up now?" After bidding farewell to the medical team, Lawrence returned to the fortress at the top of the peninsula. As a result, he happened to see Saifei and a few soldiers walking into the place carrying a lot of miscellaneous things.
In a fortress, he asked casually, "What's the harvest?"
"More than half of the battlefield has been cleared now, and we can be sure that basically all valuable targets have been cleared." Saifei said with a look of helplessness. "But there are too few things captured, except for the team leader.
Apart from the four-armed sofas and the nobles and the occasional priests in seaweed robes, there was nothing else about them."
Think about it, even though the sahuagin can establish a strict rule and even have a so-called country. But as intelligent creatures living in the ocean, an important problem they face is that any metal is extremely expensive for them.
The direct consequence of this is that production tools are seriously backward, which in turn makes the overall productivity extremely low.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, you don't expect them to be able to build a smelting furnace in the sea." Lawrence shrugged helplessly. "It's no wonder that there are basically not many people who take the initiative to clean up those living on the shallow sea continental shelf.
The sahuagin people, it seems that they obviously feel that this approach is not worth the gain."
Lawrence looked at more than half of the trophies that had been found in the corner of the fortress. It had to be said that these trophies looked a bit shabby. Only some of the sea specialties collected from priests and nobles were worth some money. But even if
This is barely equal to the supplies Lawrence consumed before.
You must know that the ammunition that Lawrence consumed before was produced from his own military factory, so it was priced internally. The overall price was much cheaper than the standard price on the market. In other words, if such a battle were to be carried out,
The only way to make things work for others is to lose money.
"Actually, it's not impossible for us to get the book back." At this time, Nora flew in from the blast hole, holding a bulging seaweed bag in her hand. "I checked some information before coming here.
, a very important reason why humans rarely take the initiative to attack this group of sahuagin is that it is difficult for us to move underwater hundreds of meters deep."
"As intelligent marine creatures, these sahuagins often collect various underwater specialties, and those underwater specialties are very valuable to us intelligent terrestrial creatures. As for the wealth we have captured now, it is relatively small.
Because this group of fishmen came out to fight, it is naturally impossible for them to bring all that money to themselves."
"If that's the case, we can raid their lair after the war." After hearing what Nora said, Lawrence suddenly thought of a good method. Compared with others, entering the water requires special magic props or hiring people.
By casting a spell, he can now summon a phantom that summons a large group of underwater creatures. If combined with Nora, who can move freely on the seabed, it may be a little troublesome to attack the big sahuagin city, but clearing other settlements should not be a problem.
big.
"A good idea, and we can also find some allies to help." Saphiel added after Lauren finished speaking, "For example, I think the Loka fishman is a very good candidate for cooperation. Because I was cleaning the area just now.
We captured a group of Loka fishmen in a depression, and they surrendered voluntarily. And the leader of the fishmen wanted to talk to us."
"Oh? Prisoners of Loka fishmen?" Lawrence immediately became interested after hearing what Saphiel said. Because tonight the sahuagin attacked Lawrence and there were too many Loka fishmen in the forwards on the flanks of their position.
The traditions of the Kayu people are generally in harmony with those of the land races.
So when Lawrence heard that there were prisoners, he wanted to talk to them to see what was going on. Maybe he could find out the specific reason why these Loka fishmen appeared here and find a way to get them out of the war.
Perhaps because souls come from other worlds, Lawrence is not a great humanist. In his eyes, as long as he is willing to get along well with each other, can abide by the rules and assume the same obligations without discrimination, then everything, whether human or otherwise, is human.
are equal and have the same rights.
Not to mention that war is an extreme waste of money and life, and is far inferior to peace negotiation in terms of cost and efficiency. Therefore, when dealing with different races, he is more inclined to achieve win-win cooperation through peaceful negotiation.
.And slowly incorporated these different races into his own system through economic integration. This is why he successfully organized a multi-racial mixed army in such a short period of time.
It's just that this method of negotiation is ineffective for sahuagin, because sahuagin are as strongly xenophobic as goblins, and even crazier than goblins. In their three views, only their own kind are considered real.
"Human", and all other creatures are just their food. The only difference is whether to eat it now or after it is used up.
As an aquatic creature, as a kind of intelligent creature with a high IQ, it is impossible for the Loka fish not to know this about the sahuagin. Therefore, their appearance in the attacking army this time is very likely to be in some important situations.
They were forced to participate in this invasion because they were coerced by the Sahuagin people.
Therefore, after confirming that all positions had completed the post-war battlefield preparations and were ready for the next round of battle, Lawrence took Seifer, the others, and the two priests to a temporary prisoner of war camp at the root of the peninsula.
They are preparing to interrogate this group of Loka fishman prisoners.
The so-called temporary prisoner of war camp is actually a temporary seawater pool built using a depression. After all, these Loka fish people are not suitable for leaving the water for too long, so after capturing them, the soldiers dug a temporary ditch.
Water poured into the depression to create a saltwater pool the size of two standard swimming pools.
After arriving at a small fortification next to the depression, a wet Loka fishman was brought in by two heavily armed tauren warriors. Then under the effect of the magic released by the two priests, Lawrence and the others began
Presided over the interrogation of the prisoner.
Unlike the tall and burly sahuagin, the loka are just a group of little guys a little over 1.5 meters tall. Although they also have a human-like appearance, at first glance you will think that they are more like fish than humans.
.
And from a human perspective, the Loka fishmen all seem to look the same. The only difference that can be seen is that the female Loka fishmen have two more ocher stripes on their bodies, which symbolize their ability to lay eggs.
Therefore, even if Lawrence took the initiative to observe the other person as soon as he entered the door, he knew nothing about him other than confirming that the Loka Yu in front of him was a male. Fortunately, the leader of the Loka fishmen prisoners who came out on his own initiative could speak human beings.
Language, so with his active cooperation, Lawrence and the others finally figured out what the hidden problem behind this matter was.
