According to this staff officer, the only reason why the warehouse was placed in this place that can be said to be extremely desolate in normal times is that there will be no enemies in this place and it is also very close to the coast and the city. Once a war breaks out, it can be very convenient for supplies.
The transfer station facilitates the troops on the coastline to replenish various supplies.
Choosing this place as the backup command center this time was just an accident. No one expected that the sahuagin would actually launch a raid in this place, which can be called the best place for aquatic life.
But since things have become like this, naturally this place will not be empty, so it was simply transformed into what it is now.
After passing through a passage more than ten meters long, the space in front of him suddenly opened up, and several large caverns connected together appeared in front of him. Then, under the guidance of another Saul Island staff officer, Lawrence
Bypassing the busy group of people in front of me, we came to a small house.
This small house should have been a temporary hospital used during the war. As soon as he entered the door, he saw many people surrounding it. In the center of the crowd was the little character Nora floating in the air.
Under the little doll, there were more than a dozen murloc corpses piled up in random directions, including sahuagin and loka murlocs.
"What's going on?" After seeing Lawrence walking in, the soldiers present immediately stood at attention and moved out of the way. At the same time, they raised their hands in a military salute to Lawrence, the supreme commander here.
Lawrence also raised his hand and returned a military salute to everyone, followed the soldiers present to get out of the way and walked to the edge of the pile of fish-man corpses, then raised his head slightly and said to the little puppet floating in the air.
."What's going on with this pile of corpses?"
Brother, I just set out to retrieve this from the battlefield." After seeing Lawrence coming, the little puppet proudly puffed up his chest and introduced it. "The time chosen by that group of murlocs just now was very coincidental, and it happened to be stuck in the night.
When the tide goes out, if I move a little slower, it will be difficult to retrieve these corpses if they float deep into the sea."
After saying that, the little doll shot out several threads from its hands, wrapped them around the corpses below, and hung up some of the corpses one by one. Then it floated to the side of the corpses and began to explain.
"Among these corpses, the corpses of the Loka fish people are relatively normal. Although most of these corpses belong to the old and the weak, considering that the old and the weak are often left behind during that kind of escape, their mortality rate is higher.
It can be said to be reasonable.”
"But the other batch of sahuagin corpses are obviously not so normal." At this point, Nana flicked her fingers and let the loka fish corpses fall to the ground, and then used these silk threads to hook up the other corpses.
Part of the body belonged to the sahuagin. "I think you can see by now that these sahuagin are not warriors, but just civilians."
"Are all the sahuagin corpses here the corpses of civilians?" Lawrence stepped forward to check the corpses of these sahuagin, and sure enough, he found that these sahuagin corpses were similar to those in muscles and patterns on their bodies.
Real sahuagin warriors are different.
Soon, he discovered one of the exceptions. "Wait a minute, there seems to be a corpse here that belongs to a sahuagin warrior."
"There is indeed a body here that belongs to a sahuagin warrior." Nora flew to the body of the sahuagin warrior and said. "But I found this body after flying over that ocean for a long time.
Yes, if I read correctly, only 1% of today's group of pursuers are sahuagin warriors."
As soon as the little puppet finished speaking, the group of officers on the side immediately started a serious discussion. Because everyone knew that the sahuagin guarding the servant army must be a small but very elite sahuagin.
Murloc warriors, this situation of mainly civilians is obviously abnormal.
If coupled with Hua Fin's behavior just now preventing Lawrence and the others from salvaging the corpse, everyone believed that a new round of sahuagin raids was imminent.
"But when will they make a surprise attack?" a staff officer said, "Although the extraordinary ones can hold on temporarily, ordinary soldiers will definitely not be able to persist in this tense atmosphere for too long. I am worried that if
If the enemy doesn't activate in a short time, we may collapse before the enemy."
"You don't have to worry about this, because the sahuagins are more anxious than us." After hearing what the staff officer said, Lawrence immediately said to the surrounding officers who also had worried faces, "Because the other party
There is a time limit for the phantom magic that can be used. If they don't activate it as soon as possible, the people sent here as internal agents will soon be exposed."
But the strange thing is that nothing unexpected happened that night, everything was quiet. Even after dawn, Hua Fin specially sent someone to ask Lawrence and others to lend a helping hand, hoping to borrow some food from them. Because they had previously bought food from Sha
The Huayu people were in such a hurry when they fled there that they didn't take anything with them.
Of course, the Loka fish people also know that borrowing food at this time is not a very timely request. After all, in addition to abundant fresh water, this island is not only small in area, but also has very poor soil. Even under the best circumstances, it can only be done
We produce some of our own fresh fruits, vegetables and fish, but basically we can only rely on external input for food.
Now the siege of the island by the surrounding sahuagin people has completely cut off the original waterway and cut off the food imported from the outside by sea.
Although the island officials, who were aware of the possibility of war before the group of sahuagins attacked, temporarily purchased a large amount of food from other places and transported it to the island, it was not clear how long the siege of the sahuagins would last.
Food should always be used sparingly.
For example, immediately after the sahuagin besieged the city, the island entered a full wartime state and implemented a rationing system to manage various daily necessities in order to reduce consumption as much as possible. Under such circumstances, tens of thousands more animals were added.
The Loka fishmen who come to eat for free are obviously a pressure that cannot be ignored on the island.
Providing rations for tens of thousands of people is naturally not something that ordinary staff can decide. So after reporting at all levels, the one who finally appeared in front of Hua Fin who came to ask for help was naturally Lawrence, the only person in this place who could make the decision. After seeing him, he stood
The flower fin at the forefront of this small group of Loka fishmen immediately bent down and saluted.
"I'm sorry to have caused so much trouble to you, but we really have no other choice." Hua Fin, who straightened up after saluting, said, "Of course, I swear we are just borrowing these grains. When the war is over
We will definitely return these grains at more than three times the price in the future."
"You have to understand that this is a war period, and we are somewhat short of food. And you now have more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 people. So when providing you with food, you don't just need to consider money -" Lawrence's face
He showed a troubled look. "Okay, tell me how much food you want. If it's too much -"
"We only need three days of food." Hua Fin said quickly after hearing what Lawrence said. "We found that the sahuagin people do not get too close to the coastline, so we can send some people to collect from a little further away.
Some food, I think it should last about a week if mixed with food."
"Of course, I also know that there are not enough manpower on the island now, and it is a bit remote." Hua Fin said proactively after finishing their request. "So we can send manpower to help carry food."
