Chapter 40: The Newborn Calf
The manpower and material resources spent on the construction of the watchtower were enormous, and in Naga's memory, there had never been such a laborer except for the construction of the training ground. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Naga, who is part of the info, questioned that there is no need to build watchtowers on land, and that their battlefield belongs to the sea, so they should devote their main energy to training, and believe that improving the strength of the individual is the key. As long as everyone's strength increases, they will be able to effectively resist Niga. For them, glory is to be obtained from the sea, not to hide on land in fear of death.
This argument is supported by a section of Naga. Naga's way of fighting has a strong primitive hunting color, advocating strength and can understand some basic teamwork, but they only know offense and do not know defense, but their force is not as good as Niga, and they will lose miserably every encounter, so they are forced to retreat to Passa Island and Emerald Isle step by step. Only after the polar sun, when the thick ice melts, will the Emerald Isle return to the earth, and neither side can land for the time being. The Naga are now the only ones left to defend on the island of Pasa.
Of course, the Naga patriarch knew the worries of his people, but he couldn't help it. The tactics of the past were of no use to Niga, and new methods had to be found. The Naga patriarch once came up with a tactic of using a sea of people, one Naga can't beat Niga, then two, three, four, until Niga is brought down. But this tactic does not solve the problem fundamentally, because the total number of Naga is not large, and Niga's speed is very fast, which often makes him break out of the encirclement without a single hair.
It has to change. The Naga chief suppressed the dissent and organized the people to build the third layer of fortifications while strengthening the second layer of defense. There are many stones and trees on the island of Passa, so you don't have to worry about running out of raw materials. For a time, the construction of the watchtower was in full swing. The Naga had experience in building training grounds, and watchtowers were nothing more than miniature versions of circular training grounds, with stairs and covers added to them to leave holes for archery and ignition. The construction of the watchtower was not as difficult as expected, and after a week, a watchtower was almost completed.
Behind a hidden reef far from the island, ten Nigai quietly meet and exchange news.
"They're building a big pillar!" Nica Away.
"No, it's a few." Nica B said.
"Do you want to know what it's for?" Tu Niga asked, not believing that Naga would have built these pillars for no reason, that they would be of great use, and that they would be detrimental to Niga.
"Their guards are too tight to get close." Nica C shook his head, "But according to the guards, it seems to be used for archery." ”
Archery? The Nygai looked at each other, not knowing what it was. They used to fight in the water with bone spears and bone knives, which had a lot of resistance in the water and were not suitable for archery at all, so they didn't know what a bow was and what an arrow was. But then they realized the sheer lethality of the weapon.
Tu Niga stared at the huge pillar slowly rising under the vast night, and felt a sense of oppression that he had never felt before, he vaguely felt that something was going to happen, but he couldn't grasp its tail for a moment. It's like chasing a glowing lampfish when he was a kid, and he knows it's there, but as long as it doesn't flicker and is silent in the dark, he can't catch it.
The feeling irritated him, and Tu Niga spat out the seaweed in his mouth, frowning sadly. It's been three days since they left Lava Island, and if they don't go back after four days, it's not the hot springs that will await them but the lava fire pools.
"Hurry up and check!" Tu Niga shouted, his eyes retracted from the island to the heavily guarded offshore waters, and if he couldn't do it, he could only catch the ordinary Naga, although the potion made was inferior, but it was better than nothing.
The Naga patriarch led Ansu into the beast taming arena. The beast training ground is next to the training ground, and the beast here refers to a large marine fish with low intelligence, and other sea creatures with high intelligence will not be willing to be driven by aliens. In order to deal with the giant fish of Niga, the Naga also tried to tame the marine fish, but it seems to have little success.
Boom--
The waves rolled and the water splashed in the sky, and the Naga people standing on the shore were all drenched, and their faces were disappointed.
The sea bream Naga slapped the water in frustration, this is the first time he has slipped off the back of the fish? There are so many that he can't count them, obviously this time he has broken the previous record, but in the end he still failed, is it really only the Niga who can control the sea beast?
"Failed again." The Naga Patriarch sighed and glanced at An Su, "Since they came back, they have also brought all kinds of sea beasts, and they are simply unguardable. "Not only can they control the fish of the sea, but they can also control other sea creatures, just like they can drive chariots with different functions. There are two species of marine fish that Ansu has seen, one for reconnaissance and one for lurking, and Nica is no longer limited to harnessing them, but also adept at taking advantage of their characteristics. Niga, who controls the sea beast, has greatly improved his attack, defense, and speed, and is not an opponent at all if he is one-on-one.
Ansu looked at the giant fish swimming restlessly in the sea, this giant fish called stonefish has a wide back, which can allow Naga to stand longer, but Naga only has a tail, and it is difficult to fix his body on the back of the fish. Niga has two tails and a suction cup on the tail, so it can easily stand on the back of a fish. Seeing how well they work with the giant fish, I'm afraid they have a way to communicate with the sea beasts.
"Why don't you hold it in place with a rope?" Ansu asked.
"We tried." The Naga patriarch smiled helplessly, "No, after the rope is bolted, the giant fish will become more irritable, and the warriors will still be thrown down." ”
At this time, a shout suddenly sounded below: "Your Highness has come out!" The wooden fence slowly opened, and little Naga entered the beast arena with a rope through the dorsal fin of the giant fish in one hand and a bone spear in the other. He puffed up his chest and looked firm, already showing the momentum of a king. The bone spear slapped the fish, and the giant fish rushed out like an arrow off the string!
The heart of the Naga patriarch was in his throat: "This messy boy! "I don't know how important it is! Is the tremendous impact of water something his small body can withstand? What a curse! The Naga patriarch pinched his eyebrows in annoyance, could it be that the rebellious period had arrived early? What a worrying son!
The huge waves receded, and the Nagas wiped the water from their faces and looked intently into the field.
His Royal Highness is still on the back of the fish!
The crowd exclaimed. Ansu saw that although little Naga was washed away by the current, his left hand was still tightly holding the rope, his body was attached to the back of the fish, and the bone spear in his right hand was still there. The giant fish couldn't stand the restraint and wanted to throw the rider off its back, so it began to swim at high speed, and from time to time it made a 90-degree turn. It has dropped multiple riders before and is very skilled.
