Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth the reaction of the sea clan
In the sea, the shallow sea less than a hundred miles away from Harbor City is where the royal court of the Sea Clan is located.
Although it is under the sea, the layout of the Royal Palace of the Sea Clan is even more luxurious and luxurious than the palace of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.
In the natural cave, various kinds of jewelry decorate the royal court with sparkle. Various kinds of jewelry and jade make the walls of the cave glow with various colors of light. The huge coral ornaments on both sides shine like Christmas trees during the holidays.
If you take any few decorations here, they can be sold for a good price in the human kingdom. If they were before the war started, the value would be even higher. However, they are just ordinary decorations in the Royal Court of the Sea Clan. The King of the Sea Clan
The location of the court looks like a crystal palace.
The King of the Sea was sitting on the main seat holding a trident that symbolized the power of the Sea Tribe. Below, the high-ranking priests and bloodline generals of the Sea Tribe lined up in two rows, standing respectfully. Since the high priest and his terrifying abyss whale
After his death, the King of the Sea gradually consolidated his power, and within a few months he captured all the members of the sea clan, big and small, back into his hands, becoming the true king of the sea.
However, since he took back his power, Neptune has become increasingly intolerant of the existence of Harbor City, not only because Harbor City is located in Bengchang, the South China Sea, a key place for the continuation of the Sea Clan, but also because Neptune believes in his heart that,
The city's existence was a defiance of his power.
Whenever he sits on the throne like now, looking at the obedient sea tribe generals and priests below, he will think of the human city not far away, and a strong sense of humiliation will instantly surge into his heart.
"Reporting to His Majesty the Sea King, the Abyssal Whale has appeared in the Western Sea again, threatening the survival of the four ethnic groups. At least more than 100,000 people have disappeared, but the blood warriors and priests have already evacuated."
"Um."
Neptune nodded, not taking it too seriously, as long as the bloodline warriors and priests evacuated.
"Let them retreat to the east. Let the ethnic groups in the east be generous and not block them. Just let them go back when the giant deep-sea whale retreats."
"Time, Your Majesty."
It’s not just Harbor City that poses a threat to the Sea Tribe. The giant deep-sea whales are the existence that has always given the Sea Tribe a headache. The number of Sea Tribes killed in the belly of giant whales every year is no less than hundreds of thousands. These behemoths are more powerful than giant dragons in the sea.
The tribe has almost no good way to deal with them, they can only hide away. Anyway, the sea kings with the large population of the sea tribe are actually few in number, and losing hundreds of thousands a year is not a big deal.
The Sea Tribe and the Deep Sea Giant Whales have coexisted for many years. The Sea Tribe has long been accustomed to the habits of the Deep Sea Giant Whales. Even avoiding them is a matter of course in the heart of the Sea King. There are several cases of Deep Sea Giant Whales devouring members of several tribes every year.
Things that Neptune is not used to, but humans are different. In the circle of the ocean, humans are forced to squeeze in. In comparison, there is less training for hundreds or thousands of years. From Neptune on down, the entire sea tribe is very repulsive.
"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the weapons traded with humans again."
"what happened?"
When he mentioned that more than 100,000 sea tribesmen were devoured by the giant whale in the deep sea, Neptune's expression was calm and almost unwavering. However, when the people below mentioned human beings, Neptune frowned. He always felt that mentioning
Nothing good comes to mankind.
"Human beings say that the source of their weapons has been restricted, the price of these weapons will increase, and it is uncertain whether future trade can continue."
“How much are they going to raise the price?”
"Well"
"ten times."
"boom!"
"I have never seen a race as greedy as humans!"
The angry Neptune slapped his own throne with his palm. This throne made of coral and crystal was not very strong, and a corner flew off when Neptune slapped it.
The weapons used by most sea warriors are primitive weapons made of sharp shells, sharp stones and seaweed. Weapons made of swordfish bones are considered high-end goods, and armor is simply made of hard shells and seaweed.
, as for the role of these equipment, it can only be said that it is better than empty-handed.
Is it because the Sea Tribe doesn’t want to use metal weapons? Of course not. It’s just that the Sea Tribe, which mainly lives in the sea, has no alchemy skills. It has no ability to make metal weapons at all. Metal equipment stolen from humans generally cannot be used.
If it goes too long, the sea water will soon corrode the metal equipment they grabbed. It won't be long before these weapons that were originally extremely sharp on the shore will be broken and brittle by rust. They will not even be as sharp as a sharp stone axe, and will directly turn into
Sword of Tetanus.
However, there are exceptions to all things. Some of the fine weapons made by dwarves have a corrosive effect and can be used for a long time even in the humid environment of the sea. After the Sea Tribe inadvertently snatched several fine weapons made by dwarves,
After discovering this kind of weapon, after many twists and turns, he contacted the human nobles in the south and purchased this kind of corrosive weapon from the dwarves.
Although the kingdom had banned the trading of any metal weapons to the Sea Clan, especially the sophisticated equipment made by the dwarves, before Pare came, the trade profits were too high, so they bought them from the dwarves and resold them to the Sea Clan.
It can even generate twenty times huge profits, which is enough profit to make anyone crazy.
All this kind of weapons trade has been banned repeatedly, and the Sea Clan has also accumulated a small amount to purchase a batch of weapons that can be equipped with tens of thousands of royal court elites. The last time the Sea Clan ravaged the south on a large scale, Pare discovered the equipment of the Sea Clan.
The proportion of dwarven weapons is a bit high, which once again strengthens the crackdown on the weapons smuggling trade, but the Sea Clan cannot bear to raise the purchase price again, and there are still people who are willing to take risks and help the Sea Clan purchase weapons on their behalf.
But in this alliance, Pare directly cut off the source of this kind of weapon smuggling. From now on, all the weapons in Shiqiuyuan will be monopolized by him. The nobles in the south who want to buy have to look at Pare's face, no matter how big it is.
The risk of being discovered is greatly increased when buying and selling bulk goods to the Sea Clan. Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that the price of the only goods is increased tenfold. After all, scarcity is more valuable.
After Neptune smashed the handle of the chair, the higher-ups of the Sea Tribe below did not dare to speak. Since the death of the high priest, Neptune's majesty became more and more serious. After waiting for a long time, someone cautiously suggested:
"Your Majesty, these humans are really hateful. Otherwise, we can just kill them and seize the weapons during the transaction."
Because they are afraid of being discovered by Pare's men, usually the bold nobles send people to transport the weapons to the sea by ship, and then complete the transaction with the sea tribe from the sea to reduce the risk of being discovered.
This kind of transaction must be established under the condition that the Sea Clan abides by the contract. After all, the sea is always the home of the Sea Clan. If the Sea Clan has any evil intentions, it can make the weapons, ships and people disappear without a trace on the sea.
No shadow could be found.
However, although this proposal was very tempting, Neptune, who had calmed down a little, still rejected the suggestion:
"Don't you just want some stones? There are plenty of them in the sea. Just buy this batch of goods at the price they said. Don't make any other moves. Just trade normally."
Although the Sea King is angry, he is not mindless. Normally, it is a harmless trivial matter for the Sea Clan to rob the merchant ships coming and going, or even go ashore to rob them. Normally, he is too lazy to ask, but if he is willing to take risks to trade with the Sea Clan,
The nobles who brought the weapons were robbed, and then no one would dare to buy weapons for the Sea Clan anymore.
Although it is a bad idea to increase the price ten times, it is just an exchange for some rare treasures from the sea. These things are valuable to humans, but here in the sea tribe, they just waste their efforts to collect them. It is not unacceptable, but the other party said
The real trouble is that future transactions may not be able to continue.
We have finally found metal weapons that can be used in the sea. We have equipped a lot of blood warriors and patrol guards. If we don’t use them, we will be gone and we will have to go back to our previous state. No matter what, we must try our best to stabilize this situation.
Trade channels, where can you directly rob?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing that Neptune still decided to continue to use trading methods to obtain weapons, the faces of the people below also changed very quickly. They looked indignant just now, but now they regained their composure.
"If nothing happens, let's leave today."
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the clam farm."
Just as Neptune was about to leave, a patrol guard swam into the cave at an extremely fast speed, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"whats the matter?"
"Humans are expanding that city!"
boom
The palace, which had returned to silence, suddenly exploded.
The human city in Bengchang can be said to be the most sensitive point of the Sea Clan. Now that they heard that humans are planning to expand the city, everyone present can't sit still.
"Where is the general in charge of the patrol? What does Yunus do for food? Why didn't he stop him?"
"Master Yunus led people to stop him, but he was hacked to death by a human sword. The patrol guards on the Bengchang land were all driven down by humans!"
"Damn it! Humans are looking for death!"
Neptune, who had always wanted to pull out of Harbor City, could no longer bear it this time and made a decision almost in an instant.
"General Diwu!"
"His Majesty!"
"Immediately take 50,000 patrol guards to Benchang and have all the surrounding ethnic groups converge on Benchang."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Priest of Lorwyn!"
"His Majesty!"
"Let all the priests in the sacrificial hall be prepared and go to Benchang with the army immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After making the decision, Neptune was not polite and directly used the strongest power in his hand to attack Harbor City.
After a few orders, the ordinary sea warriors used as cannon fodder will gather at least one million. As for the patrol guards led by Di Wu, they are the essence of the royal court. These patrol guards are not those that ordinary people can kill.
They can kill several cannon fodder soldiers of the Sea Tribe. These patrol guards of the Royal Court are basically comparable to the weakest quasi-knights, and half of them are equipped with smuggled dwarf weapons. With the addition of a large number of priests accompanying them, it is impossible for the Sea King to
If we move, that's it. If we move, Harbor City will be completely bulldozed.
.....
Harbor City
Paul organized his men very quickly. Not long after he had just expelled the Hai tribe, civilians and workers were already working to expand the city. The soldiers who were maintaining order around them had a somewhat excited expression on their faces. After all, they had just
Just won the battle.
"Captain, these sea tribes are too inexperienced. Even those patrol guards who could fight were killed by a few powerful crossbows. We have been staying in that city for so long. We should have come out to drive them away long ago.
Already."
In the battle just now, Paul's troops obviously took a big advantage. First, they caught the Sea Clan off guard, and the Sea Clan responsible for monitoring Harbor City did not react at all. Second, the Sea Clan's combat effectiveness on land was indeed relatively weak.
Across the board, ordinary Sea Clan warriors are very powerless against fully armed human warriors. The inferior weapons in their hands cannot even break the armor of the soldiers. These well-trained soldiers on land can easily cut down seven or eight Sea Clan warriors.
.
Even a patrol guard whose strength is comparable to that of a quasi-knight is only equivalent to an elite soldier in actual combat. The difference between having armor and not having armor is still very big. In addition to strength and combat experience, a human quasi-knight has nothing but strength and combat experience.
At least they have to wear a heavy armor weighing hundreds of kilograms, which can withstand most ordinary arrows. Although the patrol guards of the sea tribe also wear protective gear, the defensive effect is not good, and they have not waited for the masters on the human side.
Take action and let the ordinary soldiers shoot into hedgehogs with powerful crossbows.
That is to say, the Sea Clan blood warriors who were responsible for the garrison were a little troublesome, but they were quickly killed when Paul took action himself. The victory came so easily that some of the new recruits actually became swollen.
"Hey, you kid, just cherish your good mood now. We are surrounded by the sea. When the sea tribe starts to counterattack..."
Before the captain finished speaking, a hint of fear appeared on his face. He thought of those densely packed sea warriors. His scalp was numb when he thought of that scene. They were endless and endless...
Similarly, Paul, who had won the victory, also looked worried. After driving away the Sea Clan's troops stationed in the bay where Harbor City was located, Paul would stand high and look out over the sea from time to time, without daring to be careless at all.
Gu Gu Gu Gu...
Gu Gu Gu Gu....
Just as Paul swept towards the sea again, dense bubbles appeared near the clam farm. Then, the sea warriors emerged from the sea one by one, occupying almost the entire beach in a few breaths.
"Sea Clan is coming!"
"Ready to fight!"
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
As the warning bell rang, the entire Harbor City entered a state of tension.
