The situation on the battlefield is indeed developing as Lawrence imagined. Although both the entire peninsula and the core urban area further away are shrouded in smoke and flames, if you look carefully, you can see that the front is
After going deeper and lowering the distance a little, it was fixed there. No matter how hard the murlocs attacked, they could not take another step forward.
Although Lawrence and the others could not clearly see the entire battlefield because of the peninsula, they could still see clearly the situation on the sea, especially the giant sea beasts used on the frontal battlefield.
Therefore, they soon saw the spectacular sight of the sea beasts that were closer to the coastline. After only eating one or two cannonballs, they fell directly into the sea, splashed a lot of water, and then floated motionless on the water.
In particular, in order to achieve a sudden surprise, the opponent sent half of the War Crabs as soon as they launched the attack. As a result, when the land counterattack began, the group of spellcasters used magic scrolls and magic prop masters to display a large number of attacks.
Basically all the magic goes to these war giants.
After the magic defense on the war crab was peeled away by these attack magics, the sahuagin extraordinary people on the cancer's back quickly began to cast spells to block the next round of attacking magic. Unfortunately, they had not had time to release the defensive magic.
The enchanted cannonballs came out one after another, breaking the carapace of the giant crab and sinking into the giant crab's body.
The sahuagin transcendents on Cancer did not pay attention to these attacks, because they knew how strong the body and carapace of the biological weapon they were sitting on were.
Under normal circumstances, if a human's artillery fires an explosive bomb, it will explode when it touches the carapace, which will not cause much damage to the giant crabs. Even if the solid bullet can penetrate the carapace, the remaining kinetic energy will not be enough to cause them much damage.
Damage can be recovered quickly with the recovery ability of this biological weapon.
At the beginning, the situation was indeed what the extraordinary sahuagins thought: In just a few seconds, a new magical barrier was re-opened on these war crabs. At the same time, the muscles and carapace around the wounds on the crabs
It squirmed and rushed toward the wound, blocking all the wounds with sky-blue blood.
However, this state did not last long. Just a few minutes later, Lawrence and the others, who were standing on the cliff looking in the direction of the main battlefield, saw the bodies of the war giants suddenly froze, and then they all shot towards the sea. At the same time, the bodies of the war crabs were wrapped around them.
All those magic defenses flashed twice and then disappeared.
The sahuagin extraordinary people sitting on the backs of these giant beasts were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. Except for a few who quickly grabbed something to immobilize their bodies, the others were all thrown like gourds rolling to the ground.
The sudden changes at the feet caused them to stagger around, and some people even accidentally slipped directly along the tilted giant crab shell and fell into the sea.
Naturally, the guard troops on the shore could not let go of this good opportunity. The moment the war crabs stopped, they realized that the enemy was now in a fragile state, so they immediately deployed precious firepower and poured it towards those giant crabs.
Those sahuagin supers who lost their magical protection caused huge casualties.
This sudden situation even brought the entire legion's offensive to a halt. In the ensuing battle, the giant sea beasts, especially the war giant crabs, were consciously arranged by the sahuagin behind the front, far away from the coast.
As a result, the morale of the murlocs below suddenly dropped. Then the two sides fixed the battle line near the coastline and began to stalemate around this battle line.
"I think if this group of people is going to attack, then their attack will start soon." After discovering that the main battlefield, both front and side, had turned into a tug-of-war, Lawrence immediately lowered his voice and said to the officers behind him.
arrive.
"Because theoretically, both sides have already pressed forward with their reserves at this time. Therefore, whoever can launch an attack from a place unexpected by the enemy at this time will definitely win the war."
After hearing what Lawrence said, all the staff officers present nodded, and then returned to their respective posts for the last inspection before the war.
At the same time, the observation post set up behind a stone on the cliff discovered that the Loka fish people below broke the original silence and started to move: some of them swam towards the entrance of the port area, while all the rest began to move towards
The direction of the coastline is closer.
"Flowers, what are you doing?" After seeing this scene, Lawrence immediately picked up the communication fish scales that the Loka fishman left for him and shouted. "According to our previous agreement, you must move in advance.
Only after reporting to us and getting permission, why are you moving without any notice now?"
"Sorry, Your Excellency, this is because the time for the outbreak of the war is too tight." The voice of Flower Fin came from the scales. It was obvious that this group of murlocs had not yet launched, so Flower Fin was reluctant to act here.
To delay time. "So we hope to send some of them to block the entrance to the harbor, while allowing others to go ashore to escape——"
"I can understand your thinking, but rules are rules." Lawrence looked at the officers around him who were making final preparations and said angrily, "I have said before that we are enough to protect your safety, so
There is absolutely no need for you to break our agreement like this——"
Just before Lawrence finished speaking, an officer suddenly ran over and handed a note to Lawrence. Lawrence lowered his head and looked at the note, and found that there was a very brief message written on the note: "
The murlocs launched an attack to burn the grain warehouse and have been subdued. A small grain warehouse was burned down."
After reading the content on the note, Lawrence immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of the city in the distance. As a result, he saw wisps of strange yellow smoke starting to rise in the warehouse area on the edge of the city. It should be those
A special fuel used by sahuagin people to burn grain depots. In addition to supporting combustion, it can also be used as a signal.
"——Fire!" Lawrence immediately issued the order after confirming that the so-called group of fishmen who had turned into Loka were indeed spies. Looking at the two fingers he stretched out, the officer behind quickly took out two red and one green bullets.
Flare.
In an instant, several mortar shells were fired from the garrison camp at the mountain pass behind the resort, and then hit the group of fishmen who had just climbed to the beach, exploding into several balls of flesh and blood.
"We have been exposed." Hua Fin, who had been pretending to be the leader in front of Lawrence and the others, saw this and immediately dropped the scale in his hand, and then bent down in an extremely humble posture to face the person next to him.
The old lady who looked like a fishman from Loka said, "The group of light-skinned monkeys on land have launched an attack."
"It doesn't matter if it's exposed. Our previous plan has been successful." At this time, the yellow smoke from the fire in the direction of the grain depot has risen to a height that can be seen even in the bay. After looking at the smoke, that
The muscles on the old woman's body squirmed and she transformed into a sahuagin priest.
"The enemy has been completely held back, and it's time for us to charge." The sahuagin priest released a red ball of light that shot straight into the sky and made a loud noise. Then he used magic to expand his own
The voice said. "Come up, let us destroy these weak enemies and take everything from them."
Accompanied by a burst of messy and sharp shouts, the fishmen rushed towards the coastline with weapons raised. Even if the cannonballs fell around them and took away the lives of their companions, no one stopped the charge.
