Chapter 356: You can't be a wall grass
The death of the legendary dragon is just an insignificant episode in this battlefield, and for the Kraken tribe, although it is very regretful and distressing, it cannot reach the stage of breaking the muscles and bones.
And in the eyes of the Krakens, exchanging a not very powerful legendary dragon for the death of eleven shamans of the fish people is undoubtedly a good deal, because not considering the legendary powerhouses of the Kraken itself, there are more than a dozen legends among the sea beasts under his command alone, and only two of them were lost (one of which was captured by Semiramis and sent to Alice's capital of death as a sacrifice), which is still within the range of bearability.
In the entire Baltic Sea crowd, there are less than three casters who can cast magic, and in such a war that is related to the fate of the entire race, every one less spellcaster on the other side is a hope for oneself to be one step closer to victory.
There is no way, this is the mainstream of this world, it is not logistics or ordinary soldiers who can easily determine the direction of a war, but those who can fight a thousand armies alone, and those spellcasters who can change the terrain with magic and solve everything.
However, the appearance of the fish-man shaman army still made the Kraken's plan to defeat the fish-man army in a short period of time go to naught, and they had to fall into a long war like a meat grinder with the fishmen, exchanging countless lives for the slim possibility of victory.
And judging from the current situation, the most likely final result is that both the Kraken and the Fishman will lose, and then the mermaid who is on the sidelines will take advantage of the fisherman, which is completely contrary to the Fishman's plan.
However, in exchange for the slim possibility of victory, the fishmen still succumbed to the arrangement of fate, and had to rush to the shelves to press all their chips, and they began to gather the fish-man tribes scattered throughout the Baltic Sea, so that more fish-people gathered in this place and joined the meat grinder.
It's not surprising at all, compared to the mermaids and krakens who rely on the sea beasts and their own strength, the fish-man race is really too weak, whether it is the strength of the individual or the civilization level of the entire race, it is not as good as other races, even those weak seal people and the like, they are not comparable, the only thing that can be praised is their number, that is like the locusts in autumn, like a natural disaster, gnawing at everything, destroying everything.
If a hundred fishmen can defeat a sea beast that resembles a dragon, then send one hundred and one fishmen to fight.
If one of the opponent's magic can kill one hundred and fifty fish-men in one blow, then send two hundred fish-men to deal with it, using their lives to consume the opponent's physical strength and mana.
This is the simplest tactic to crush everything in front of you with 1+1 addition, which is why the fish-people are isolated by all the sea races, without any allies, and only rely on their own strength to win the favor of the gods and become a powerful race on the same level as the mermaid and the kraken.
The other tribes of fishmen, young and old, who had received orders from the chieftain of the fishmen, took up the weapons they could find, brought the food, and drove the turtles to swim towards the location of the battlefield.
They are like dewdrops on a rainy day, small dewdrops converge into big dewdrops, and large dewdrops converge into larger dewdrops, and finally form undulating waves like tides, countless fish-men are converging here, they join the chaotic no-nonsense formation, under the orders of the fish-man nobles, under the effect of bloodthirsty thaumaturgy, frantically pounce on the enemy in front of them.
Not afraid of death, not of pain, not of enemies
Obviously just a fish-man at the bottom of the food chain, but with the absolute superiority in numbers, he forcibly turned the situation on the battlefield to his advantage, under the attack of those primitive tools, under the sharp claws and teeth of the fish-man, those sea beasts with a length of more than ten meters and twenty meters were drowned in the tide of fish-people, and the waves set off quickly became dull.
If you look down from the whole sky, the turquoise waters are dyed black by the figures of the fishmen, and even the migratory birds that have returned from the sea have avoided this area and gone to other places to feed
In this battlefield, no one dared to approach except the Fish-Man and the Kraken's troops, because there was blood everywhere, and pieces of corpses flew up from the seabed below with the current, and then fell again.
When this war is over, it may take several years for this sea area to recover, and a large number of corpses and negative energy will also give birth to a group of powerful undead on the bottom of this sea area, at least until those undead and negative energy disappear, there will be no living creatures to live here.
Seeing that the army of the fish-men gathered the fish-men scattered all over the Baltic Sea and crushed their own armies with absolute numbers, those sea beasts that had spent a lot of time and food to cultivate were useless in such a wave of fish-men, and could only be reduced to food for the enemy.
The Kraken side only discovered at this time that if they didn't want to alarm the gods, the only way to reverse the decline was to learn from those fishmen and send messengers to various parts of the Baltic Sea.
However, unlike the fishmen, the Krakens are not scattered in the Baltic Sea, they need to contact other sea races under the three major powers, and they have reason to believe that the other races will not refuse to attack the fishmen in such a situation.
There is no way, because of the general characteristics of fish-people and locusts, they are very easy to offend all races except themselves, to put it simply, except for themselves, the entire Baltic races are actually their enemies,
Lobster people, seal people, whale people, and all the weak, powerful, large in number, small in number, after receiving the message of the Kraken, began to gather their armies, arrange their weapons, prepare food, and advance towards the battlefield of the two clans.
As a race that can survive in such a cruel sea, they certainly know what kind of bad situation will happen if the Krakens lose to the Fishmen in this battle, and at that time, the Fishmen who have digested the Kraken's power will be unstoppable to wipe out the Merfolk Clan, and then the entire Baltic Sea will become their territory.
In the territory of the fishmen, all races except themselves can only be reduced to food, or spare food, even slaves.
At least as slaves, as the property of their masters, as long as they prove their worth, they are still able to obtain the right to live from their masters.
The other races, in the years of war with the fishmen, have understood the danger and exclusivity of the fish-man race, so in such a situation, no race will think about becoming a wall-to-wall grass, to wait for the moment when the kraken mermaid and the fish-man are both defeated.
If they could, they even wanted the merfolk and the kraken to put aside their prejudices and hatreds, and unite to defeat the fish-people in this battle, and even wipe out all the fish-people in the Baltic Sea.
Unfortunately, this is a very difficult thing to do, and it can even be called a miracle that a mermaid and the krakens do not fight each other.
In the long history, no one remembers the reason why the Kraken and the merfolk hate each other, the only thing that can be confirmed is that after years of fighting, the two have become undying enemies, and the reason why they have not yet had a life-and-death war between the two is also due to the constraints of the gods behind them and the existence of the fishmen.
They both knew that if they fought each other, the final victor would never be between the two, only the dirty, ugly, and stupid fishmen.
While the whole war was fought against the Kraken and other races against the entire Baltic Mermen, the merfolk in the East were in a state of immobility, and in addition to the fact that both sides of the battle were their own enemies, they also discovered the new city built by Southern Semiramis.
The Fish-Man Chieftain's strategy was not completely ineffective, and the lives of the five hundred Fishmen were still allowed to allow the merfolk to discover the new city under construction, plus the well-known Kraken cruising near the city.
The identity of the owner of the city also jumped out, and Alice Norregi, who killed the Baltic overlord Dorengo's family, is known as the [Calamity Girl] who will inevitably have disasters everywhere she goes, and that is a strong person who only has the ability and qualification to have a dialogue with the gods behind it.
After a little hesitation, the merfolk tribe decided to send an emissary to contact Semiramis, bringing a large number of gifts, kindness and temptation, to the city that would become the center of the entire Baltic Sea.
For these merfolk with kindness and temptation, Semiramis received them in the temple of the cavern that had completed its general structure.
There is no way, after all, this is a formal diplomacy, and the merfolk with the support of the gods are indeed worthy of Semiramis to receive them with such solemn etiquette, so that they can feel the goodwill of Jutland.
This is a real world, and Alice and Semiramis can't solve all their problems with violence, and their superb diplomatic skills can make them reap huge benefits at a small price.
Besides, the inhabitants of the Baltic Sea are only afraid of Alice's power that has killed the Torongo family, and if she really uses violence to break everything, she will only be greeted by continuous resistance.
The exchange did not last long, and after expressing the goodwill and willingness to exchange and trade between the two parties, the mermaid's messenger left the city under construction and returned to their tribe.
What they brought back was the goodwill of Jutland, and after clearing the customs and communication, they also discovered that the civilization of Jutland was different from the previous Dorengo and the sea monsters, not so brutal, not so barbaric, at least they could communicate with words.
At the same time, this time the mermaid's envoy also solved a question, that is, the relationship between Jutland and the merfolk is not the relationship between the allies in the merfolk's speculation, let alone the supporters behind the merfolk.
This is not surprising at all, because when they first learned that Jutland's forces had entered the Baltic Sea, the merfolk did suspect that the reason why the merfolk would launch a war in a frenzy regardless of this time was that someone was behind it, and the person who instructed it was Jutland's [Calamity].
After all, if the Baltic Sea falls into chaos and the three major powers are hit at the same time, the biggest beneficiaries will be the guys from Jutland.
"Semiramis, what do you think of what they say? ”
In this meeting, the doubts in my heart were solved, and it was not only the mermaids who obtained a lot of information, but Semiramis also obtained the information about the current situation in the Baltic Sea from the other party's mouth, and knew that the fishmen relied on one race to confront the entire Baltic Sea.
"Those merfolk are so bold that they intend to convince us to join the war with the merfolk people. ”
The communication with the merfolk was left to Semiramis, and because of the need to hide his identity, the Pale Book was disguised as Semiramis's spell book.
It wasn't until the merfolk had left that she began to discuss with Semiramis the information about the merfolk and their requests.
"We're coming, this fight, we're going to get in. ”
Semiramis turned her head and looked at the pale book with a piercing gaze, her eyes burning like the flames of the sun.
"Why, can't we just let the fishmen fight them? When the fight is final, those gods will definitely take action, and at that time, won't we be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen?"
"Alice, I'm thinking too much. ”
Semiramis understood what Alice meant by taking advantage of the fisherman, and the other party had explained to her the meaning of many idioms, including this sentence.
"When those gods actually make a move, the first target they attack will definitely not be the other party, but us wallgrass. ”
In the eyes of those gods, the Fourth Force that is now appearing in the Baltic Sea is not the wallgrass, and if you don't want to be taken advantage of by the wallgrass, it is the best choice to clean up these wallgrasses before the war.
To make matters worse, if that really happens, Semiramis and the others will really enter the eyes of the gods, which is something that Alice has been trying to avoid.
After all, a group of beautiful and individual girls is the best pastime for the gods to pass the time.
