Chapter 358: The Quantity That Crushes Everything
Not all of these fish-men were killed by the mermaid priests, and at the edge of the cold wave, some of the lighter fish-men affected by the freeze died on the spot, and after they broke free from the ice, they did not visit their companions who were being slaughtered by the lobster people, and they did not plan to merge into a group, so they scattered and left the place.
The fishmen are ugly and stupid, but they are a type of intelligent life, with their own civilization and tribe, able to think and communicate with other races.
They knew that at this stage of the battle, it was more important to bring the news of the merfolk on the edge of the battlefield back to the clan and prepare them than to continue to struggle with their lives here.
And those lobster people had no intention of chasing those fish that slipped through the net, they smashed all the frozen fishmen to pieces, and while collecting the corpses of their companions and cleaning the battlefield, they sent messengers to the ranks of the merfolk clan.
They thanked the merfolk for their help in killing them, and of course the merfolk sent messengers to communicate with them, hoping to get information about the battlefield ahead from them.
"Looks like you're allied with the Kraken. ”
From the window of the carriage, looking at the fishman who was happily communicating with the lobster man, Alice couldn't help but sigh.
No matter how neutral they are, at the moment when the two meet, the merfolk should not interfere in their battle with the fishmen, after all, those lobster people were invited by the Krakens to come here to fight against the Fishmen, and the merfolk are also the enemies of the Kraken.
So the only thing that can be explained is that the mermaid and the kraken, a pair of bitter enemies, are not far off in this fight against the fishmen, even if they do not form an alliance.
"It's just some fishmen, do you mermaids and krakens need to unite?"
That being said, there is still a need to sow discord, and it would be even better if more information about the Kraken and the Merfolk could be obtained from the mouth of the rather young-looking mermaid princess.
"There's no way, those guys are a little too much. ”
The mermaid princess knew that with her own strength and wisdom, she would definitely not be able to hide it from Alice, so she simply told the other party everything she knew.
"There are too many fish-people, and they are also very widely distributed, and the so-called fish-people in the Baltic Sea are not only the fish-people in the ocean, but also those who live in rivers and lakes on land. ”
Speaking of this, the mermaid princess's face couldn't help but show a slightly distressed expression, the strength of those large numbers of fish-man monomers is indeed not strong, but after the number reaches a certain level, there is no way to change the quantity qualitatively, but the total combat power is not much worse in essence.
Now in Alice's mermaid army, there are more than 500 adult mermaids who can cast spells, and there are even more sea beasts, after a cursory look, there should be more than 100,000 heads, they suppressed the bloodthirsty desire in their hearts under the appeasement of the mermaid, and reluctantly converged without fighting.
With such a team, there are too many fish people who can be evaluated by the mermaid princess, and how terrible the number will be, just a simple guess makes Alice frightened.
"In the Baltic Sea, the core group of the fish-people has only more than 10,000 fish-men, only more than 20 shamans and two legends, but in fact, if the entire Baltic Sea is included, the number of fish-man shamans alone will increase hundreds of times, not to mention the ordinary fish-people below. ”
According to the situation of a fish-man tribe with a shaman, there are as many fish-man shamans as there are tribes in the entire Baltic Sea, not to mention that there are some large tribes that have more than one shaman, and the so-called multiplicity of the mermaid princess is actually a conservative estimate.
Fish-man shamans are conservatively estimated to be hundreds of times, so the number of ordinary fish-people will also increase by hundreds of times, at least nine figures should be there, plus those fish-people from lakes and rivers on land, their number may break through to 100 million units.
Alice did not suspect that the mermaid princess would lie, because the mermaid princess did not need to lie on this issue, after all, the mermaids were their common enemy, and they knew it at a glance when they went to the battlefield.
But it was precisely because Alice knew that this sentence should be true, that she was surprised, after all, when she was in the final duel with the remnants of Brother Duolungo, there were not so many fishmen who rushed to the battlefield, and there were 100,000 people who participated in the battlefield that time.
"Then the last time I went to war with them, they didn't seem to have that many of them, or did you two start a war with them at that time?"
Unable to understand this question, Alice had no choice but to ask the mermaid princess.
"No, the previous kraken ruled over the fishmen, because the kraken consumed a lot of food every day, so the fishmen didn't have enough resources to develop, and if they couldn't find enough food to feed the krakin's appetite, the kraken would eat them as food. ”
"After you killed that sea monster, without the fish-men curbed by the sea monster, crazy childbearing, you didn't think at all, how much burden those guys' uncontrolled fertility can bring to the entire Baltic Sea, just a few years, some small races have been forced to leave by them, and the remaining ones can only barely survive, even we and those bastards feel the pressure. ”
The mermaid princess's answer made Alice feel a sudden realization, and at the same time felt a chill in her heart, if it weren't for this time she urged Semiramis to carry out the ocean expedition plan that had been formulated for a long time, and when those merfolk wiped out the Kraken and the mermaids, and spread their power from the sea to the land through the river, Jutland, which contained the throat of the Baltic Sea, would bear the brunt.
After all, the mermaid princess also said just now that this time the fish people gathered back to participate in this big battle, in addition to the fish people in the Baltic Sea, there are also fish people in the rivers and lakes on the land, that is to say, when Alice didn't notice, these fish people have established their own forces on the land, but they have not been discovered by others.
Now that she knows this information, of course Alice will not sit idly by, she decided to wait until the end of this war, she will go back and personally deal with the fish-people who live in the rivers and lakes, no way, the fish-people living in freshwater, only she, the lich, can deal with it personally.
"Alright, let's move on, but the rest of the journey won't be so smooth. ”
Those who escaped would report the news of the merfolk army and the route of the merfolk to the merfolk higher-ups, and at that point, a series of delayed attacks would be expected.
"Don't worry, I trust the power of your merfolk clan. ”
Speaking of this, Alice's face involuntarily showed a very faint smile.
"Of course, we merfolk will be victorious. ”
Speaking of this, the mermaid princess Ke Millie glanced at Alice meaningfully, although Ke Milley is not very old, but she has been cultivated as the next mermaid chief since she was a child, and her heart is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Tell Alice about the situation of the fish-people, and at the same time have a deeper level of consideration, only if Alice is jealous of the fish-people, she will use all her strength to fight those fish-people on the battlefield, after all, what she just said is true, but with the power of the mermaid and the kraken, even if you count the gods who support the back, they are still not 100% sure of winning against the fish-people.
In the chat between the two, a little time passed unconsciously, and they continued to move towards the sea in front of them, the more they advanced, the more they felt the smell of blood in the sea water became rich and pungent, and after moving forward for another day, the sea water here can no longer be called sea water, and the water is almost all the blood of various races.
Compared to Alice, who lives in the carriage of the mermaid princess, the people who stay outside are simply unlucky, those sea beasts, even the sacrifice of the mermaid has been doing its best to appease, but after such an environment, there are still scattered sea beasts who can't get used to such an environment, and they attack everywhere in a frenzy, and then they are torn to pieces by the sea beasts that still keep their freshness next to them.
Those lobster people have long parted ways with the mermaid troops, because with their numbers, it is already very difficult to intercept those fish people coming from all directions on the periphery, and there is no way to participate in the most central battle.
"Looks like we've arrived. ”
Alice, who let out such an exclamation, stood up from her seat, raised her hand slightly, arranged a [blood barrier] around her body to keep out the seawater, and then opened the door of the carriage and walked out.
What caught my eye was a dense crowd of small black dots, the sound of sharp fighting came into my ears, countless corpses fell to the bottom of the sea, and patches of gray souls were led to the underworld by the invisible passage.
"It's the fish-men who have the upper hand. ”
Although Alice had been prepared in her heart through the information provided by the mermaid princess, she still had difficulty controlling her emotions when she really saw the scene in front of her.
Whether it is sea beasts such as the dragon, the Norwegian sea monster, and the Leviathan whale, or the intelligent race such as the lobster people, whale people, and kraken, which already have their own civilization, they are slowly losing under the attack of the fishmen, the ugliest and most humble race in the sea.
The first thing that catches your eye is a lineup of the fish-man team that is shining, the fish-man shamans are lined up in an irregular cube, and they are constantly throwing magic into the battlefield under the leadership of an old shaman.
[Poison Explosion] [Corpse Explosion] [Death Cloud] [Poison Gas Mass] and the like are either negative energy or contain highly poisonous magic, and they are thrown into the enemy without stopping, not to kill the enemy directly, but to get as many enemies into trouble as possible.
After all, even a legendary dragon has been affected by poison and negative energy, and in such a large-scale battlefield, the role it can play is very limited, and it usually only needs to pay the lives of hundreds of fishmen to eat it all.
In the face of the fish people's way of exchanging quantity for quality, their opponents, the Kraken clan, had no way to come up with any good way to deal with it, except for constantly releasing [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy] on more slaves and activating the beast nature in their bodies, they only occasionally released some [Vortex Magic] [Ice Demon Ring] range magic.
Unfortunately, this did not have a decisive effect, and the number of fish-men was so large that even if the casters of the Kraken and other races combined together could destroy tens of thousands of fish-people with each spell, there was no way to change the whole situation.
"Your Highness Alice, please take action. ”
Kemiri also got out of the carriage and came outside, she quickly cast a spell, filtered the blood in the seawater, and then observed the battle in the distance for a while, and then spoke.
"Shall I make a move? Ke Millie, aren't your mermaid sacrifice groups going to make a move? With your strength, if you shoot directly now, you should be able to save a game. ”
It only takes twenty priests to join forces to wipe out thousands of fish-man troops, and if the mermaid sacrifices in the team now shoot together, even if they can't decide the victory in one go, plus the sea beasts in the army, they should be able to curb the attack of the fish-people.
"They've been prepared for a long time. ”
The mermaid princess did not answer Alice's question directly, but stretched out the index finger of her right hand and pointed at the fish-man shamans in the distance who could be called a formation in front of her.
At this time, Alice realized that with the entry of the mermaid team, the shamans had stopped casting spells, they turned their bodies to this side, and the black magic glow wrapped around the top of the totem pole, obviously as long as the merfolk had the intention of joining the battlefield, their magic would attack mercilessly.
"Okay, okay. ”
"So, what kind of spell should I use? How about a big spell to say hello?"
A blue light emerged from Alice's palm, and a mysterious spell quickly spat out of her mouth, and the scarlet blood around her seemed to be purified, turning back into the sea with a faint fishy smell.
For ten minutes, Alice was concentrating on the magic.
Around her, the merfolk priests had lined up in a neat line, constantly using magic to interfere with the attacks of the merfolk shamans.
Legendary spell - Maelstrom
The currents that had become chaotic because of the war began to be sorted out in an orderly manner, and the currents began to gently rotate around the fish people who were all over the sea, and the speed became faster and faster, and in a few breaths, a huge whirlpool covering most of the sea was about to be formed.
