A rapid sound of alarm bells spread throughout Papami Island, and the port town located in the north of the island suddenly became noisy. Many drowsy and exhausted militiamen were awakened by the alarm bells, gritting their teeth and dragging their legs and feet that were filled with lead, and wielding their spears.
Weapons such as harpoons were used to climb the walls.
Although I have become accustomed to the smell of dead fish, as the sea breeze blows up the city wall, the strong smell almost blinds people. The periphery of the city wall built along the port is piled with fish-man corpses, because Papa
Mi Island is in a tropical environment, and the hot and humid environment causes the body to decay quickly.
The mage advisor who was originally responsible for guarding this place planned to send people to clean up the corpses. It turned out that these fishmen did not know what they had eaten before they were alive. There was vicious magic hidden in the rotting corpses. During the transportation, the entire corpse exploded and was filled with negative energy.
The necromancy spells and corrosive acid blasted the ordinary militiamen together with several mysterious knights, causing death and injury all over the place.
After nearly a month of holding on, the morale of the town has dropped to the lowest point. If it weren't for the food stored in the warehouse, the island has enough fresh water, and there are no logistical concerns in the short term, plus the teleportation left here by the Pentagram Tower
Beacons, magic items such as wands and scrolls were brought in. Faced with the relentless attacks of the murlocs, this port town probably fell long ago.
Papami Island is located on the southern route of the New World and the Old World. It is an island more than 4,000 miles away from the Sail Province of the New World. It is one of the ports where ships replenish fresh water. It was a haven for the earliest navigators and adventurers in the northern part of the island.
Bay, built a temporary camp, and later gradually developed into a small town that began to take shape.
There are not many valuable resources in Papami Island and the surrounding waters. The island is dominated by tropical rain forests. The scenery is beautiful from a distance, but the climate is humid and hot. The town is not large, and the people who settled here are basically sailors and pirates who have not made it through.
They could barely make ends meet by doing business with the passing ships, or growing some tropical crops that didn't require too much care.
Later, the Pentagram Tower concentrated on building the southern route, and Papami Island also welcomed a resident mage advisor, and began to increase investment in construction here. A series of buildings such as breakwaters, brick piers, and port walls were erected.
Although the scale is much smaller than that of coastal towns on the mainland, it is still better than in the past.
But the most important thing is that there are more ships on the route. During the long voyage across the sea between the old and new continents, many ships still have to stop at Papami Island to replenish supplies and fresh water. This makes the originally isolated small island towns prosperous.
Nowadays, all kinds of rare treasures from the New and Old Worlds can be seen here. Some trades that are not visible in the Old and New Worlds are tacitly allowed in Papami Island.
Those sporadic pirate groups with few ships naturally do not dare to offend the Tower of Pentagram, but they occasionally do some dirty work for the mage consultants on Papamy Island, resell some contraband, and each earn some commission.
It's all tacitly understood.
If there is any threat to Papami Island, it is nothing more than the fishmen in the sea. Although these monsters have certain intelligence, know how to make weapons, and have very few spellcasters, they have difficulty communicating and are very hostile to humans.
It is the primary threat to navigation activities and the main enemy that small island towns everywhere guard against.
However, it is extremely rare for hundreds of murlocs to launch a desperate landing attack like this recently. The already small defensive force is stretched thin by the murlocs' continuous attacks.
In order to be able to hold on to this route node, the mage advisor in the city requires all adult males to take up arms and be temporarily recruited as militia to assist in city defense.
"Advisor, why can't you send a few more mages here?" The militia captain with his head bandaged and his breastplate still showing dents that had not been repaired stopped the mage advisor who was holding a staff.
The mage advisor opposite was wearing a gorgeous robe with sapphire blue and gold patterns. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you think I don't want to call more people? Those fishmen went crazy and launched an attack on all the islands and towns on the route!
Our place is small, and there are only a few hundred murlocs in one wave. Some large islands are not only attacked by thousands of murloc armies, but also have super giant hermit siege crabs!
These monsters can spray foam that dispels contamination of magic items. Their carapace has a force field shield effect. Their giant claws can pinch off the coastal sentry lighthouse! With six thick and long jointed limbs, they can easily climb over city walls! The sojourner on their backs
The conch shell is like a small fortress, and the fish-man wizard can hide in it and cast spells to attack. Do you want to fight with those monsters, or do you want to protect me from the smelly fish-man with green scales here?!"
The militia captain's shoulders heaved and he did not dare to reply. The mage advisor waved his staff and asked the low-level mage and the mysterious knight behind him to go to the city first to fight. He raised his hand and patted the opponent's shoulder: "I know everyone is having a hard time these days, but now this kind of
Is it possible to take a boat out to sea and transfer to other islands? Once we lose the protection of land and city walls, we will not only face countless fishmen in the vast sea, but also all kinds of creatures controlled by them.
Sea monster!
Now the Pentagram Tower is still sending us a steady stream of magic items, and there is enough food and water in the city. I, who can use teleportation spells, haven't run away yet. What are you worried about? Don't worry, I have asked for help from above, and I will definitely let you know.
They send experts to help out, as long as you persist, there is hope!"
That being said, the mage consultant didn't have much confidence in his heart. He also learned about the earth-shattering battle in New Camelot City two months ago from the communication spell. For mages like them who were stationed on remote trading islands,
, those big shots who come and go, seem to have nothing to do with themselves, and they are roles that they will never be able to reach in their lifetime.
However, the aftermath of the Battle of New Camelot City was still transmitted to many islands on the southern route.
It seems that the pirates of Vanua have mastered the ghost fleet and the deep-sea squid, two powerful weapons, and have suddenly become the overlord of the sea. At present, they have recruited some murloc groups and drove them to attack the islands on the southern route in an attempt to dominate the sea.
Route benefits.
Originally, the Vanua pirates and the fish-man sea monster were both difficult opponents. Fortunately, both of them were bullies in the past. As long as there were powerful weapons and mages on the ship to help them, they would not dare to risk heavy losses to plunder and destroy.
.
However, when these two families joined forces and changed their past lack of organization and scattered troops to launch a mighty and powerful offensive, even the mages of the Pentagram Tower felt deeply pressured and had no choice but to concentrate their manpower and hold on to important resources.
and industrial trade islands. However, Papami Island’s status is not high, so naturally no one came to support it.
As the mage advisor sighed inwardly, he heard an exclamation from the distant city wall. He confirmed that he was wearing the "High Mage Armor", secretly clasped the ring of "Mirror Shadow", and rushed to the city wall in two or two steps.
, commanded sternly:
"Why are you nervous? What's so scary about fighting these days? Aren't they just a group of murlocs who only know how to bark randomly? The mage prepares the 'scorching ray' and waits until they rush close to release it. When he sees the four-armed elite, he will use '
"Spider Web", "Black Tentacle" to freeze, and then hit me with a powerful spell! Let me see what other monsters there are in this group of monsters, what... what is that thing?!"
When the mage consultant came to the city, he saw thousands of murlocs with mixed blue and green scales in the turbid waves, holding weapons such as spears and steel forks, but these were ordinary. At this time, among the crowd of murlocs, there was a rhinoceros-sized man.
A large blue-purple lobster slowly emerged from the queue. It had a pair of extremely large claws and a metallic color on its surface. The large lobster also carried a fish-man wizard holding a white conch shell on its back.
"Fuck! It's a hammerclaw shrimp!" The mage consultant immediately recognized this special lobster and ordered: "Everyone, get ready! These monsters are about to charge!"
Without further explanation, the mage advisor gave an order, and the mysterious knight urged more than 300 militiamen to guard their respective positions. These simply trained militiamen only needed to see the murlocs rushing up the city wall and stab them out with spears. There were only a few people in the city.
The more than 50 regular soldiers who survived were each issued with armor and shields. Even if they were not even high-quality products, they were already the backbone of the fighting force.
As for the mage consultant who only masters fifth-level arcana, together with his seven low-level mages and twelve arcane knights, he is the only spellcaster on Papami Island. This lineup is placed in the old and new continents, which is for small
The lord chief of the town looked after the house and the courtyard.
At this moment, these three to four hundred people were about to face the attack of thousands of fierce fishmen. The city wall they were holding on to was actually only higher than a floor. Facing the successive charges of the fishmen, they could barely resist.
I saw the murloc wizard riding on the back of a big purple and blue lobster, holding a white conch shell and blowing a whine. An indescribable weird wave spread around, making the murlocs shrug their shoulders and fins.
It expanded, revealing a big and vicious mouth like a shark, and uttered an unpleasant gibbering language.
As if the murlocs had collectively been hit by a "violent spell", they rushed towards the city wall one by one. The four-armed murlocs who acted as captains relied on their physical strength and long arms to throw spears.
The spearhead is forged from the unique pearl steel in the sea, with a sinister undercut. Once it pierces into the flesh and blood, it will inevitably drag out a large amount of flesh and blood when it is pulled out. Not to mention the spear that is stained with seawater, it is easy for ordinary people to kill it.
People are injured and infected to death.
The mage advisor hid behind the wall. Several militiamen were hit by spears. Seeing that their morale was unsustainable, they immediately took out the "Fireball" wand and loudly gave orders to everyone. The low-level mages and the secret knights also took out the remaining few rounds to charge.
With his wand, powerful fireballs shot out one after another sparsely from the top of the wall, and exploded in succession, trying to hit the densest areas of murlocs, causing damage.
The dust and mud were flying, and the fire was blinding, but it could not resist the enthusiasm of the fishmen at all. The fishmen who rushed to the city wall first threw a string of flying hooks, latched onto the wall stacks like fishhooks, and began to climb the wall to attack.
"'Grease Technique'! Cast the 'Grease Technique' on the outer wall!" The mage consultant made a prompt decision. For the fishmen who didn't even have a siege ladder, a few small "Grease Techniques" could turn the not-high city wall into a
Meat grinder!
As the spells of the lower mages undulated, the outer wall of the city wall was immediately covered with a layer of light butter, which was extremely slippery, making the fishmen unable to use their legs and feet. They grabbed the flying hook rope with both hands and watched helplessly as the human soldiers cut off the rope hook and fell down.
.
However, the mage advisor who heard the sound of the sound did not dare to relax at all. He carefully looked out and saw the fishman wizard riding a hammer-clawed prawn and approaching the city wall. When he played the shell, the invisible magic power created a blue light that flashed.
The spiritual trident struck at the mage advisor at the top of the city from a distance of a hundred feet.
This spiritual trident came with an astonishing force. The mage consultant activated the "Mirror Shadow Technique" and instinctively shrank his head away. Although he avoided the disaster of piercing his head, his head was still hit by broken bricks. The battlements made of hard bricks actually hit him directly.
Cut in half by the trident!
The mage consultant was shocked to realize that this spiritual trident was made of a force field. He thought that the "mage sword" requires a seventh-level arcane spell to be used. These monsters actually sent a high-level spellcaster to attack Papami.
island?!
But fortunately, the mage had a bright idea: "Impossible! If you are really an advanced spellcaster, would you still need to charge like a suicide squad? At most, the fishmen have some weird spells, and this aura effect is not like the energy level of advanced spells!"
Determined, the mage consultant chanted a spell and waved a "dispel magic" with his hand, smashing the spiritual trident in mid-air into magic light dust.
"Kill that fish-man wizard for me!" the mage advisor shouted. Immediately, a mysterious knight shot out "glitter dust", and the dazzling light exploded on the fish-man wizard. The remaining shiny dust immediately marked the crowd of fish people.
clear.
However, the dazzling bright light made the big purple-blue lobster become inexplicably angry. It threw away the fish-man wizard and made a dense sound from its complex mouthparts. It rushed towards the city gate and swung its giant claws to fly away the fish-man in front of it.
.
Boom!
The purple and blue lobster slammed into the city gate, but little did they know that the back was already piled with heavy stones, completely sealing it off.
"After all, they are just monsters swimming in the water. If you can fly over such a low wall, you will just hit the wall foolishly!" The mage consultant was pulling out the "Fire Wall Technique" scroll when he heard a loud noise coming from below.
boom!
The loud noise was accompanied by strong vibrations, and an astonishing sonic attack was emitted from the giant claws of the hammering shrimp, shaking the blocked city gate somewhat loosely. The zero-distance sound wave impact made the giant claws, which were harder than fine steel, seem like a
Another blow to the resonance impact hammer caused cracks to appear on the wall itself.
"Oops, this monster——"
With the third explosion, the city gate was blasted open. The remnants of the explosion echoed in the air, followed by the unpleasant screams of the murlocs.
The mage advisor was so shocked that he fell to the ground and broke out in cold sweat. The city gate was lost and thousands of murlocs were about to rush into the city. What followed was bound to be a brutal and bloody street fight! He had already raised his hand to touch his "teleportation" scroll.
Got it!
But at this moment, a sharp light was seen, shooting out from the town, breaking the wind and cracking the air, it was so sharp that it hit the hammer shrimp directly on the head. The heavy impact force hit hard, as if it was a heavy punch falling from the sky, and the hammer hit the shrimp hard.
The shrimps lay prone, and waves of dust rose everywhere.
In the smoke and dust, a black iron arrow that looked like a short spear penetrated the carapace of the hammer shrimp's head and penetrated deeply into its body.
"Hey, I'm not late, am I?"
Under the blazing sun, I saw a man with a waist like a bee and a long bow in his hand, standing on the rooftop in the distance, greeting the mage advisor as if he was free.
