"Okay, now we need to perform our respective tasks separately for the time being." After quickly exchanging their ideas with Nora, Lawrence began to assign tasks.
"Nala, just as you planned, you will find a way to sneak into the cave and kill the core sahuagin witch doctor. Saphiel will wait here with me. As soon as you succeed, the two of us will
Just go directly to the guards at the entrance of the cave and try to defend this place to buy you enough time."
"Okay." "No problem." After listening to Lawrence's words, Nora and Saphiel nodded at the same time. Then the little doll released an invisibility operation on himself and followed the water flow to leave the depression and head towards the entrance of the cave.
The direction drifted over, while Lawrence and Sephiel opened the astral plane, took out and cocked the underwater crossbows they had captured before.
This weapon is a unique high-tech long-range weapon owned by only some murlocs. It is different from the freshwater murlocs Lawrence and the others saw in Huguang City who could only throw stones and javelins. It is similar to sahuagin and loka.
Murlocs with higher intelligence levels, such as murlocs, can create more complex weapons.
For example, these underwater crossbow guns are made from the tendons of sea animals and some strong wood. Relying on the strong elasticity of the tendons treated with some special herbs, these crossbow guns can easily shoot 6-12 rounds underwater.
meters. And if placed on the shore, their range will be 3-4 times that of the original.
The difference in the range of this kind of crossbow is not due to the manufacturing level, but is determined by the physiological structure of different fishmen. For example, the big sahua fishmen are also strong, so they can naturally use these crossbows with ease.
A crossbow that is larger in size, more powerful and can shoot farther. But the smaller Loka fishmen can only use some crossbows that are much less powerful.
But no matter what, these are extremely deadly weapons. In the previous battle for the defense of the peninsula, several wounded on Lawrence's side were injured by such crossbows.
Fortunately, because the fish people lacked metal, the arrowheads could only be sharpened wood or sharpened stones, bones or shells. Lawrence also equipped the soldiers with helmets and breastplates, so except for the two soldiers who were shot in the face, they died on the spot.
The other people were not seriously injured and should be able to return to the battlefield quickly with treatment.
The crossbows that Lawrence and Saphire are preparing now are all high-quality products made by the sahuagin people selected from the pile of captured trophies. They should have belonged to the nobles of the sahuagin people. In addition to having a longer range, these things
The wooden structure of each crossbow is inlaid with patterns inlaid with pearl oysters, making it look as exquisite as a handicraft.
It is a pity that these things are all prepared for aquatic life, and they can be barely used if they are left in the water for a short time. But if they are left out of the water for a long time, they will be quickly destroyed by dehydration. Therefore, Lawrence simply reused the waste and put these underwater.
Crossbows were used in this operation.
After all, human beings' long-range weapons basically cannot be used underwater, and whether they use magic or melee combat, the murlocs will discover and prepare in advance. So at this time, these special underwater weapons created by people
Lowering the crossbow can produce some special effects.
Of course, Lawrence also made some temporary modifications to the crossbow at this time. For example, he used thick iron wire and thin iron plates to add a shoulder-resistant butt to the crossbow. Another example is to replace every crossbow here.
The arrowheads used by the gun have all been replaced with stainless steel arrowheads that have been specially treated and enchanted by Nora, instead of the messy metals in the past.
After all the preparations were completed, Lawrence and Saphire arranged the crossbows neatly to a place where they could easily grab them. Then one person held a crossbow and used the rocks on the edge of the depression as a cover to reach out.
Half of his head was observing the surrounding situation, preparing to attack as soon as he heard Nora's call.
At this time, Nana had cleverly used the chaotic sea currents caused by the nearby terrain to pass through the magic defense left by the sahuagin witch doctor in front of the cave entrance and a team of 12 people at the entrance of the cave without disturbing anyone.
The breastworks and sentry posts where the team was stationed successfully blended into the cave.
The terrain inside the cave is not very flat. There are large and small stones everywhere. There are even some huge stone pillars standing straight in the center of the cave, dividing the entire passage in half. If you put it
It would definitely take a lot of time to pass through this cave on land.
However, because this place is underwater, Nora can simply follow the current to avoid the obstacles and approach the large cave hall containing fish eggs step by step.
Maybe it was because there was only one entrance to the cave, so the sahuagins didn't put up many defenses inside the cave. It wasn't until Nora touched the door of the giant cave hall that she encountered a total of two people each on the road.
A patrol of six sahuagin.
"There are only a total of 12 ordinary sahuagin defending on the road, and they are too lax here." After floating to the ceiling and getting into the cave hall, Nora complained in her heart. But she could also understand why.
The Sahuaji people have only deployed extremely weak defenses in this important place.
After all, this place is far away from the coastline and is located more than 300 meters underwater. According to the experience of the sahuagin people, the land people do not have the ability to deploy large forces to this place. Let alone the land people in this situation.
High-level transcendent beings who can reach here will only defend themselves on land, instead of going deep into the depths of the ocean alone and running to deserted places like this cave far away from land, islands and the main forces of both sides.
Not to mention that these sahuagin people have a kind of mysterious confidence that their place is basically impossible to be known by humans on land. Therefore, they only need to avoid being raided by the Loka fish people. So there is naturally no place in the entire cave.
How much defense power there is, at least for Nora, she feels that the defense of this place is full of loopholes.
There are some unspoken rules popular among extraordinary beings in this world. For example, considering the existence of gods, under normal circumstances, the task of gold level and above extraordinary beings who have mastered certain mass-destructive abilities is to find peace in battle.
Attack with their own similar existence, and will not engage in large-scale killing of miscellaneous soldiers. Not to mention that in this type of war, they need to reserve enough energy to deal with the enemy's high-level extraordinary beings.
More importantly, for those high-level transcendental beings, only fighting with transcendental beings of the same level or even higher level will help them improve on the road to transcendence, and long-term battles with those weak ones will not only fail to obtain enough
Experience can even hinder your improvement on the path to transcendence.
It's just that Nora is different from normal extraordinary beings. Her three views are basically equivalent to a copy of Lawrence's three views, and her foundation is different from all the extraordinary ones in the world, especially in terms of the path to extraordinary.
This is even more true. So she naturally doesn't mind sneak attacks on some guys who are completely inferior to her from a supernatural perspective.
Therefore, after following the ceiling at the top of the cave hall and arriving at the door of a small cave on the side of the cave hall, Nora immediately checked the surrounding situation and prepared for the next step immediately. Because she felt that there was someone around her.
Some magic for reconnaissance existed, so the little puppet simply adopted a less efficient but more secretive passive reconnaissance method.
Just a few seconds later, Nora discovered that there were four extraordinary beings gathered in this small cave. The sahuagin witch doctor, who was the key figure, was sitting there as if he was preparing some medicine, and the other three sahuagin were sitting there.
The murloc warriors were scattered in other locations in the cave and seemed to be doing their own thing, but in fact, they carefully set up a tight defense line in this space.
