Let's go back about 20 minutes. At that time, the fishmen in the harbor were quickly passing through the resort and setting fires in an attempt to cause chaos. Lawrence was commanding his troops on the cliff at the entrance of the harbor to stop those who were crazy about going.
Murloc commando climbing the mountain wall.
Because of the terrain, although Lawrence and the others could easily block the murlocs who wanted to climb up, it was difficult to eliminate the murlocs at the entrance. Just when the battle between the two sides was in a stalemate, an accident suddenly happened.
The sentry who was looking towards the sea suddenly saw a dense mass of fish heads suddenly appearing on the sea where there were originally only waves, and these fish heads were swooping towards the bay along with the wind and waves.
"Enemy attack, the murlocs are approaching us from the open sea direction." The sentry shouted loudly while shaking the alarm at hand. After hearing the alarm, Lawrence, who was still observing the murlocs below,
He and Nora immediately ran to the edge of the cliff, and then looked at the sahuagins rushing towards them at high speed.
Yes, the attackers here are not a mixed group. They are an elite team composed of pure sahuagin. Considering that this is a battle where the enemy reveals his trump card, Lawrence can basically confirm that this elite team
It should be true.
The scrolls and props related to phantom magic purchased by the opponent were not only to allow some sahuagins to disguise themselves as loka fish, but some of them should also be used to allow the rest of the loka fish to disguise themselves as sahuagin on the frontal battlefield.
"These sahuagins are crazy." Nora exclaimed after seeing the situation clearly, "I have deployed a lot of magic defense systems around me. Theoretically, it is impossible for the other party to attack me without me noticing.
Running so close to the coastline, and the current situation can only mean one thing, and that is that the other party has activated the magic of war through the Great Sacrifice."
"Big sacrifice? It seems that these fish people are indeed completely crazy." Lawrence also reacted after hearing what the little doll said. As a person who grew up in the church, Lawrence had no idea about those things related to gods.
There is still quite a lot of knowledge. Among them is one of the core rituals of each church: the Great Sacrifice.
The so-called large sacrifice literally means a sacrifice that is more important than ordinary sacrifices, and this is also the case in reality. Such large-scale sacrificial rituals can often gain the attention of gods and grant a series of benefits, similar to someone's
Extraordinary level improvement or some powerful magical props. But correspondingly, this kind of ritual requires a large number of sacrifices.
Of course, different gods require different sacrifices. For example, the gods of civilized races often only require some items that condense the labor or wisdom of intelligent creatures. For example, spices, precious metals, and various exquisitely crafted items
crafts or magic props. Of course, delicious food and wine are also essential.
But the large sacrifices offered by the wilderness races to the evil gods are much more complicated than this. In addition to the above wealth, they also need to kill a large number of lives to please the gods.
Considering that the group of sahuagins in front of them launched an attack on the road very suddenly, they did not have time to hunt enough sacrifices. So this time they probably used the ones they had in the sacrifice ceremony.
Criticize the Loka fishmen who are unwilling to cooperate.
For example, for the gods worshiped by the sahuagin people, offering sacrifices to the hungry and crazy shark god Sekra will not only obtain some magical protection, but also his cautious eyes. If the sahuagin people next
If what you do cannot satisfy Him, He will definitely punish these sahuagins with divine punishment.
In other words, once a large sacrifice is made to the gods, the sahuagins will have no way to retreat in the next attack. If they cannot satisfy the bloodthirsty desires of their gods, then this prince will not be able to retreat even if they do this.
Even if you win the first place among three teams for the first time, you will not be able to get the throne, and you will be executed for blasphemy.
Theoretically, a sahuagin prince would not be able to do things as absolutely as he did now. For sahuagins like them with noble blood, as long as they maintain their strength, even if they are afraid of failing to run for king this time, they will become the king.
The king's man couldn't kill them either. He could have spent his life as a powerful nobleman.
Therefore, the opponent's seemingly desperate approach made Lawrence suspicious, thinking that this group of enemies might have some power to directly change the situation of the battle. But no matter what he thought, as the group of sahuagin below followed the waves,
Approaching. The only tactic he can choose now is to deal with it randomly and use it as it comes.
As the sahuagins from the outer sea approached quickly, the soldiers who had been hiding in the mountains immediately started shooting. Although the distance between these sahuagins was very close and they were out of the water, everyone's hit rate was very high.
high.
However, the sahuagins who quickly swarmed towards the coastline were able to reach the entrance of the bay with only a small number of casualties due to their large numbers and fast movement.
However, as the first batch of sahuagin rushed to the entrance of the bay, their casualty rate suddenly increased sharply. Because at this time, more than 30 mortars previously deployed on the cliffs on both sides were all targeted.
He started shooting at this shallow sea area with a water depth of only more than one meter, building a line of death defense with red-hot metal fragments flying everywhere.
The first batch of sahuagins who rushed over fell under the gunfire, and the second batch of sahuagins who were holding various shields and even possessed magic on their bodies were very few who could rush through the line of fire. See
After this situation, the commanders of the group of sahuagin immediately got together and prepared to adjust their attack methods.
"We can't rush like this anymore." A Sahuagin noble officer said, "What we brought this time is all core strength. If the losses are too great, there will inevitably be a serious shortage of manpower in the next plan.
In this case, I am worried about His Highness the Prince’s mission——”
"I heard that there seems to be a problem with the mission now." Just as the officer was speaking nervously, he suddenly noticed that the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Then a sahuagin wearing a gorgeous human-style gold crown swam over. "Since the warriors can't complete the task, let the priests think of a way. They brag about how powerful their magic is all day long.
It's time for them to take action."
Soon, some priests who had been hiding behind the sahuagin crowd rushed out. Because the sahuagin people believe that divine magic is the real magic, they hate and fear arcane magic, so there is no arcane magic in their society.
Spellcasters. Sahuagin priests are naturally the only spellcasters among them.
But the problem is that compared to arcane magic, divine magic itself lacks direct attack spells, let alone magic that can attack from a distance. Therefore, these priests can be said to be helpless when facing the artillery position on the cliff. They are helpless.
In other words, unless they are willing to risk their lives to climb the cliff, they will never be able to reach the human armies on the mountain.
But the current prince obviously cannot accept this answer, and because of the previous large sacrifice, this war has directly escalated from the original battle for the throne of the Sahuagin Kingdom to a holy war.
Under such circumstances, the prince naturally obtained certain command rights that he had never had before, such as being able to execute all those who were considered to be weak-willed, even clergy with high status.
Therefore, those sahuagin priests who were good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages quickly thought of a way that would not be considered weak-willed and would not put themselves in danger: they chose to stay away
The summoning magic spell summoned a large group of flying evil creatures to fly towards Lawrence and the others.
