Chapter 430: Battle of the Baltic Sea (3) Coral
"It seems that they are afraid of your prestige, and they can't even use it, and they don't look like mermaids and krakens who can completely kill the fishmen. ”
Semiramis stood on the walls of Les City under the sea, looking at the mermaid and kraken alliance that seemed to be preparing something, and smiled at the black girl beside him.
"This is not a good thing, fame is a trouble and a burden, the more famous you are, the more all kinds of troubles will come to you, like a magnet, you will become the focus wherever you go. ”
"So now you can't be like before, it's inconvenient to do anything, no matter where you are, it will attract the attention of others, and it will be considered and taken precautions by others in all aspects, and it is impossible to surprise them like before. ”
Alice sighed helplessly, although the increase in fame can allow her to gain more faith and accelerate her plan to become a god, but it will also turn into chains, restricting her freedom, making her unable to do whatever she wants like before, going wherever she wants, and even some things under the sun are not easy to do in person, which is very inconvenient in all senses.
"I don't know you yet, in the end, you are just afraid of trouble, whether it is big trouble or small trouble, as long as it is troublesome things, troublesome things, you don't want to touch it. ”
Semiramis immediately debunked Alice's thoughts, she has a deep understanding of the girl around her, this guy who is feared by many people, doesn't even dare to call her name, and only dares to use [The Girl Who Brings Calamity] to be called a lazy existence, if one day she will condense a trace of lazy divinity, Semiramis will definitely not be surprised.
As long as she can lie down, she will never stand, as long as she can fly, she will never choose to walk, she will never use magic, she will never do it herself, and if there is no series of pressures that force her to keep speeding forward, Semiramis guesses that now Alice may be nested in a corner and live like a rice worm as her housemaiden.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things, now is not the time to talk about these things, our soldiers are still killing the enemy on the front line, and we commanders can't desert at this time. ”
Semiramis shifted the conversation back to the war, and the fight in the coral came to an end for the time being, ending the first round, but this was only a precursor to a more intense battle, and the enemy spellcaster troops that appeared below were the existence that Alice and Semiramis needed to take seriously, and as in many previous battles, as long as the casters were victorious and defeated, then the normal battle lost its suspense.
"What kind of magic did you say they would use to open up the current situation, the coral defense you spawned with the [Coral Growth Technique], plus the tough fish clan I asked for from my mother, simple magic can't break it. ”
The corals made using the [Coral Growth Technique] were originally only used as pastures for stocking fish and shrimp, but soon Semiramis discovered the value of these things, if it is used as a city wall, the coral bush has great advantages in every sense, strong, can be repaired, the environment is complex, and it can hide the army.
As long as the [Coral Growth Technique] is fixed at the bottom of these corals with runes, then as long as there is sufficient nutrition, these corals can continue to grow, and even if they are blown up, they can be restored to their original state in a very short time.
"Simple magic can't be broken, and more complex magic is a lot of worries because of my existence, and we don't dare to choose at will, which is also the same as we expected. ”
Alice nodded, they knew a long time ago that the merfolk and the Kraken would definitely attack Les City under the sea, and the time to launch the attack must be after the fish-men were completely cleaned up.
Although Alice and Semiramis were unable to find reliable spies at the bottom of the sea who could infiltrate the mermaid Siren's forces due to the short period of time, it was not very difficult to simply listen to some information that the other party did not deliberately keep secret, or these mermaids and Krakens did not think that Alice would send someone to their territory to find out the news.
"It's like a plate of scattered sand, and it's too far from Attila's army, but does such an army still think that it can defeat us? Who gave them such confidence? Is it the many gods behind them?"
Semiramis looked at the mermaids and krakens who were still discussing in the distance, and there were no other movements, and a contemptuous smile appeared on her face, in her opinion, such an army that did not even have a unified command, their combat effectiveness was also extremely limited, and it was good to say that when they had an advantage in a downwind battle, if they were at a disadvantage and were pressed and beaten, they might collapse in a minute.
"This is the northernmost place of the entire main plane, and there is still a long way to go from the Mediterranean region, where civilization is most developed, and the war here has always been like this, after all, this kind of thing is united, isn't it such a thing, you can't trust each other, you can only compromise with each other, and in the end you make a deformed product, you have no choice but to do it. ”
Alice said disapprovingly, the spell book that was one of the clones was revolving around her, the pages kept turning, and there was a faint white light on it.
"I heard that you agreed to the request of the Jeats, and took them in, and put them on the island of Rais?"
Semiramis abruptly shifted the conversation to the Yaats.
"Well, that's right, the Yaats who are not completely extinct are a good pawn, and they can be used to play a role when it is critical, and if Siegel fails, we can completely use the name of the Yaats to unify the whole of Scandinavia. ”
"Dare to imagine such a distant future now, although I have not met and communicated with that Siegel, but judging from what happened during this time, it is not so easy to make him fail, and even if he fails, the gods of Aesir will not let us get involved in their interests in the main plane, and the so-called pact of the gods cannot really make it impossible for the gods to interfere in the main plane. ”
"The future is to talk about it later, even if there is only a 0.1 percent chance of it happening, it is better to prepare early and bury a nail in advance than to make a mess of things at the end. ”
Alice said seriously, for her own laziness, she hated trouble very much, so she had developed a habit a long time ago, one to strangle the trouble that might arise in the cradle or to prepare for it in advance.
That's why she designed to kill Beowulf, and when the Goths rose, she blocked the southern route with Drake, and helped Sigourne contact those snow-capped druids, in order to make the big trouble become a small trouble at some point in the future, and let the small trouble disappear naturally.
"The truth about your design to kill Beowulf will be revealed one day, and then these Yeats will definitely rebel, and even then you have to leave these things that will explode at any time?"
"I know, and I know, that the person who detonated this bomb might be that guy from Loki, and he's going to choose to surprise me at the right time, just like he did at school, and make some romantic things when he was courting girls. ”
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but think of the appearance of a blue-haired young man, with a gentle smile, and underneath the darkness and trickery that no one could have predicted.
"So you put those Yeats on the Isle of Rice, and put Bambi, the best of our maids, in charge of them? That's a talent I've cultivated with great difficulty, and I'm counting on her to help me run Rice City in the future. ”
"Don't say that, whether it's at sea or under the sea, Les Island is your territory, and I asked Bambi to come here as a helper to help manage the Yaats and solve some small things, isn't it you who can really decide everything? ”
"Okay, okay, what you said is right, I agree, no opinion, it's okay, it's okay if you're satisfied, it's good if you're happy. ”
Hearing the familiar title of summer senior sister, Semiramis rubbed her temples and reluctantly admitted defeat, she had nothing to do with the coquettish Alice, and continued to grasp the topic, and it was she who suffered.
"Those guys have finally negotiated a charter, and it's really slow and verbose. ”
At this time, the mermaid and the kraken also had a new move.
These creatures, with their upper bodies as humans and fish on their lower bodies, with only a few differences in some places, gathered together and formed a formation of magic runes, and while making gestures with their hands that seemed extremely strange to others, they recited the incantations needed to use magic.
Transparent foams with colored light appeared in front of them, and slowly floated in the direction of the coral bushes, which at first glance looked like some kind of attack, but rather like bubbles made by the saliva of children playing with them.
"Alice, what kind of magic is this, I don't think I've ever seen it. ”
Semiramis pointed to the bubbles in surprise and said without any worry, there are hundreds of magic spells suitable for the sea in her mind, but none of them appear in the image of bubbles, it seems that there is no lethality and deterrence at all, but it is full of funny taste.
"It's a very unpopular magic, called [High Temperature Water Blister], the bubble is wrapped in high-temperature air, if it encounters a target, it will explode directly, in terms of power, it is not inferior to the fireball technique I often use, and if it is in the sea, it can also play a role in heating sea water. ”
Alice explained to Semiramis that there was a lot of knowledge stored in her head, which allowed Alice to find relevant information no matter what kind of situation she was facing.
"Is the fireball so powerful? but it's ...... amount."
Without giving Semiramis too much time to worry, the bubbles had already floated into the crevices and caves in the coral thickets, and then the dense explosion sound came from afar, and the tough fish that was enjoying the spoils and enjoying the food was directly blown up before they could react.
"It's good, it's effective, that's how to keep it, blast me out of the way. ”
The commander of the mermaid this time is also a mermaid princess, and when she saw the tough fish that were blown up to the ground, she quickly gave the order to continue the attack and continue to use the [High Temperature Blister].
The commander of the Kraken side had no intention of objecting, after all, she had no reason to object to the fact that she could open up a way to attack the city of Les under the sea and reduce the casualties of her own army.
But what made her feel a little strange was that the dull explosions kept coming, the water temperature around them began to rise slowly, the corals kept collapsing and dying, and the surrounding water was already stained dark red with blood, but their enemies had not yet rushed out of it.
The explosion lasted for about ten minutes, and the continuous casting of spells also made the casters of the mermaid and the kraken feel a little tired, and the attendants around them quickly handed over the energy-replenishing food potion, and used skillful massage skills to relax their sore muscles due to the long casting of spells.
However, soon they didn't have much to enjoy the slave's costumes, and as the smoke and dust caused by the explosion gradually dissipated, the situation of those coral bushes once again came into their eyes, and the imaginary situation of being messed up by the explosion did not appear, but the colorful corals were repairing themselves at a very fast speed, but during the time they rested, they almost returned to the state before the explosion.
"What's going on? How can this be?"
"It's [Coral Growth], but how can it grow so fast?"
"It must have been the Calamity Maiden who made a move. ”
The merfolk and the kraken casters exchanged words, and of course they recognized this magic that allowed corals to grow quickly and recover quickly, and it could be said that some of the casters were capable of casting such a spell, a magic that was only used to plant and give birth to corals that shepherd schools of fish.
The corpses of those sea beasts that died in the coral bushes before did not all become food for the tough fish, and they couldn't digest so much food in a short period of time, and more of them were used by the [Coral Growth Technique] to repair the coral torsos damaged in the battle, and became nutrients for coral growth.
"Even if she makes a move, it doesn't matter, if we continue to attack, sooner or later this coral bush will be destroyed, I don't believe that so many of us can't cast spells compared to her, I don't believe that she has so much magic to cast magic. ”
A mermaid said this, she was also one of the mermaids who had never seen Alice make a move, and she didn't know that Alice, as a lich, never had to worry about magic, all she needed to worry about was the amount of mana.
