PS: It is estimated that everyone will have to spend the New Year with their families at night, and there will definitely be no time to read novels at that time, so I will wish you book friends a happy New Year in advance!

At the same time, I wish you all happiness and happiness in the new year, and spend every second of every day happily!

As far as the eye can see, almost all the riverbanks near Port Erna are occupied by the fishmen! Although these fishmen were all armed with weapons that were not very sharp, due to their numerical superiority, the defenders on the banks of the river were temporarily disadvantaged and had to retreat to the main city of Port Erna while covering the evacuation of the people.

"Cut! The manager of El Na Harbor is really an idiot, he has built walls on the other three sides, but he hasn't built a wall near the port, and it's lively now! These fish-people are probably going to drive straight into the future, right? ”

After listening to Sui Yu's words, Ai Xue, who came out with Sui Yu, shook her head and said to Sui Yu: "That's not the case, there are indeed many dangerous and landable aquatic monsters, but aquatic monsters also have the characteristic of not being able to leave the water for too long. ”

"In addition, Il Na Harbor is a seaport city dominated by commerce, and according to the Continental Convention, commercial cities can enjoy human war immunity due to the gathering of merchants from various countries under normal circumstances, so the walls of El Na Harbor are actually enough as long as they can block the beast plague. And if the demonic beasts on land dare to enter the Gray River, then those demonic beasts in the Gray River will become the most powerful city defense, so building a city wall near the port will become dispensable. The city wall has such a big gap in the port, which not only facilitates the activities of merchant ships, but also reduces the cost of city wall maintenance, so the city walls of many port commercial cities on the main road are designed in this way. Legend has it that only some seaports in the East near the sea would have walls built along the coastline, but since the book on foreign lands was two hundred years old, it is not known what the situation has become there. ”

Listened to Ai Xue's explanation. Sui Yu nodded abruptly and said to himself: "So that's the case, so these fishmen can't threaten Erna Harbor at all, because the fishmen can't leave the water source for a long time!" ”

"Yes!" Ai Xue pointed at the retreating city guards and said, "Although the combat effectiveness of those city guards is far inferior to the regular army of the Talaya Kingdom, in terms of experience in dealing with aquatic demonic beasts, the regular army is not comparable to the horse!" You see, they're backing away though. However, they are still trying to delay the progress of the fishmen, and it can be seen from their movements and responses that the city guards are very familiar with the fighting methods of these fishmen! ”

Sui Yu looked at it as Ai Xue said, although those city guards didn't seem to have good combat effectiveness, and even retreated under the attack of the fishmen, they retreated very rhythmically, and they cooperated with each other very well. Even though it seems that they are retreating, no one falls when they retreat, but the attacking fishmen keep dying at the hands of these city guards!

And at this time, Sui Yu also found that in the direction of the mercenary union, a large number of professionals wearing mercenary badges gathered in groups of three or five according to their respective teams, talking and laughing in this direction.

With excellent ear power. Sui Yu understood that at this time, the mercenary union of El Na Harbor had just released a large-scale unlimited mission: cleaning up the fishmen.

This quest does not need to go to the Mercenary Guild to register the task, and there is no mercenary level limit (of course, the Mercenary Guild still recommends mercenaries below level 3 to participate as appropriate), you only need to participate in killing the Fishman, and cut off the Merman's left ear (the thing that looks like a fish's fin) and then hand it over to the Mercenary Guild for registration after the war to get the corresponding reward.

At this time, the mood of these mercenaries was very relaxed, unlike those civilians who fled in a panic and rushed for their lives, none of these professionals who became mercenaries felt nervous.

But think about it, although the number of fishmen is huge, their combat effectiveness is always only at the level of ordinary people. This level of enemy mobilization tactics may be a bit troublesome for the professional to play alone, but when teammates are around. By working together, the mercenaries don't have to worry about being injured and dying because of these fishmen.

"These guys are so easy!"

Hearing Sui Yu's sigh, Ai Xue replied with a serious face: "Yes, because the fish people rely on the fish gills to breathe, after going ashore, the gills will stick together due to lack of water, and eventually cause the fish people to suffocate to death, so the fish people generally do not leave the water source too far." They must return to the water after a certain amount of time to avoid suffocation! ”

"Ai Xue. I can't tell you know a lot! Sui Yu was even more impressed with Ai Xue at this moment, he really didn't expect that Ai Xue would be erudite and even understand the physiological structure of fish people!

Anyway, how painful is this, the teacher taught how Ai Xueyu people breathe when they teach magic? Of course, Sui Yu won't say this to Ai Xue......

Then after sighing at Ai Xue's erudition, Sui Yu followed Ai Xue's words and said: "In this way, if the fish people can replenish water to prevent the gills from sticking, they can actually fight on land for a long time." At most, there is no underwater maneuverability! In other words, aren't there also magic-based fishmen among the fishmen? They're stupid enough to solve the problem that the fish-people can't fight on land for a long time with only magical rainfall, but they haven't found out! ”

As soon as the words fell, a drop of rain fell on Sui Yu's face, Sui Yu looked up at the sky a little strangely, and suddenly found that a large number of clouds in the sky were constantly gathering over Erna Harbor, and at the same time, more and more raindrops began to drip from the sky - it was raining!

Looking at the speechless faces of the war queens looking at them, Sui Yu touched the back of his head and said to everyone with some embarrassment: "Aha, I really didn't expect that I still have the talent of crow's mouth!" ”

"IMHO!" Hakya said to everyone seriously: "Master Yu's guess is really very correct, this rain is mixed with a large number of water magic elements, it is obvious that the rain is guided by magic, and from the current situation, the person who caused this rain must be the mage of the fish man!" ”

Not long after Hakeya finished speaking, the mercenaries who had just arrived near the port to participate in the support warned everyone: "This rain was caused by the fishmen, I'm afraid this trouble will definitely not be easy!" The fish-man mage who channeled the rain must be eliminated as soon as possible, or Port Alina will be finished! ”

Although these warnings were alarmist and even demoralized many of the city guards, they were also true. If the heavy rain keeps falling like this. Then with the number of those fishmen, I am afraid that they will really directly attack the depths of Erna Harbor, and maybe even directly occupy the entire city!

"It looks like something is wrong, why don't we go back and call Philomena to run away!" If the Fishmen do break through the city, we won't have to bother with covering up the killings we have done before, because there will definitely be more people dying later! ”

Well, in the face of the immediate crisis. Sui Yu's first thought was to run.

Sui Yu felt that he had a strong sense of alienation from the humans of this world before, so in the face of such a crisis, Sui Yu's first thought was to escape.

Although he had the confidence to use his own strength to help defend the city, but for these guys who didn't take cannibalism seriously, Sui Yu always felt that he was too much of a virgin!

So, when Ai Xue seemed to want to say something, Sui Yu waved his hand to stop Ai Xue's speech and was about to give the order to retreat.

However, just as Sui Yu gave the order to evacuate Erna Harbor, the fishmen attacking in the distance gradually began to call in order: "Princess...... Come back! Princess...... Come back! ”

The sound is choppy. And the tone was full of all kinds of strange noises, but Sui Yu still heard the words shouted by these fishmen.

"Princess? Fish-people?! Sui Yu's lips twitched a little and said to everyone: "I seem to have a bad premonition, if I'm not mistaken, we seem to have heard the word fish-man princess not long ago, right?!" ”

"I know! I know! Kanami seemed to notice that her opportunity to perform had arrived, so she replied to Sui Yu loudly with an excited face: "Yu-sama, have you forgotten?" We just ate a big fish that claims to be the Fish-Man Princess! Huh?! Eaten! ”

Well, this second cargo finally sensed a very serious problem......

"Feelings, this monster attacking the city, or did it happen because of us? I said that I was not some Grim Reaper schoolboy, so how could something happen anywhere! Sui Yugang sighed and suddenly found that although the monster siege was caused by them. It's fundamentally different from a schoolboy who doesn't do anything but always encounters dead people, but in terms of results. The bad luck index is all the same!

"Since it's our pot, it looks like we can't let it go!" As soon as Sui Yu's voice fell, a system menu popped up in front of him.

Random Mission: Is this a Monster Siege?

Description: As a strong man, you have compassion for the monsters that have plagued the city, so you decide to step up!

Objective: Save as many humans as you can and fight off the siege monsters!

Rewards: Calculated according to the number of humans saved and the number of monsters killed, in order to get more experience and gold. Go for it!

Well, even the random quest has been triggered, and it seems that if you don't participate in this battle, you have to see it - looking at the fishmen all over the mountains, Sui Yu's eyes are almost green at this time, these are all chaos gold coins!

I don't have time to complain about the description of myself in the mission brief. Sui Yu hurriedly used message magic to contact Philomena and asked her to find a safe place to hide with her two children, and then Sui Yu waved his hand and led Zhan Ji to rush towards the port.

On the way, Sui Yu opened the system menu and began to check the changes in the system.

Yes, change!

In the past, although it could be used in this real world, the mission system that was rarely triggered was recently triggered in a row, which made Sui Yu detect the abnormality.

If random missions are so easy to trigger, then why didn't any of them be triggered in the past, but after coming to Erna Harbor, they encountered two random missions in a row.

It's a coincidence, but it's a bit too coincidental, right?

Sure enough, after Sui Yu checked it, he found an anomaly, that is, the power of faith that had been almost six or seven thousand or so had been accumulated before, and at this time, it had suddenly bottomed out, and only a few hundred points remained. So, where did the vanished power of faith go?

After thinking about it a little, Sui Yu finally understood, it seems that those power of faith should be used to improve the mission system!

This is also the fundamental reason why he has been suddenly able to take on random tasks recently!

Found the reason, although Sui Yu was a little eager to verify what the power of faith could do, but at this time, everyone had come to the forefront of the fight against the fishmen, and there was really no time for Sui Yu to conduct research.

After showing his mercenary badge to a city guard commander to indicate that he and the others were the Heavenly Spirit Mercenary Regiment, Sui Yu and the others were arranged by the commander to a fortification specially prepared for mercenaries and began to deal with the fishmen who attacked like a tide.

The so-called fortifications were nothing more than the ruins of a port warehouse, with the help of a ruined wall left behind by the collapse of the warehouse. Sui Yu: They were arranged in this position to block a steady stream of fishmen!

Yes, endlessly! And one by one, these fishmen didn't seem to know what death was, and they launched a suicidal charge towards Sui Yu's makeshift fortifications (Judy used the stone wall technique to set up a bunker in front of everyone)!

Of course, when charging, those fishmen kept saying "The princess is coming!" The roar, don't mention Sui Yu's creepiness.

"Is the princess of the fish-man so prestigious? Do you want to fight to the death even if the fishmen are wiped out? A wind blade slashed off the heads of two fishmen, and Millie took a bite of the chicken leg and complained to everyone vaguely (the food made by the war queens also has a lot of recovery attributes.) And the cost performance is much more cost-effective than using the medicine directly).

"Who knows! That fish didn't look like a princess before! And I read from the book that the princess of the fish-man should be the same as the fish-man, how can it be a fish? Even the erudite Ai Xue was a little confused at this time, and when she was talking, Ai Xue also raised the iron rod in her hand (that thing, Sui Yu is really embarrassed to call it a magic wand) and chanted loudly to the fishman: "The vast end of the world is my love!" Fireball! Put! ”

Yes, this chant is really a chant! Ai Xue, she just sang it! As for whether there is something strange mixed in with the spell? This can only be blamed on Ress and Ling Shiyin......

It is said that when Ai Xue joined the team, Sui Yu began to discuss the magic principles of this world with him from time to time, and Ai Xue's erudition naturally attracted the attention of a certain research maniac!

Use the shadow fiend that Angelina made as a bridge of communication. After Ress mastered the release principles of most of the magic that Ai Xue knew, she took the time to study the fusion of the magic of this world and the magic of the "Chaos World".

Of course, since Ai Xue specializes in fire magic, the information on Ress at hand is only the fire magic and light magic of this world (sponsored by a light mage in the Ergou Mercenary Group), but I believe that soon, the magic information of other departments will gradually be in place, and at that time, Ress will definitely make a lot of achievements through the magic principles of this world.

In fact, now in front of Sui Yu, Ai Xue, who uses "The Most Dazzling National Style" as a magic spell, is one of Ress's achievements, and of course, Ling Shiyin is also indispensable to it......

After understanding the basic principles of releasing magic in this world, Rees found that the magicians in this world mainly rely on the power of will to attract the magical elements between heaven and earth to perform magic.

Although the mages of this world also use some of their own stored magic when casting spells, most of the magical elements that form magic come from the surrounding heaven and earth.

So the magicians of this world don't cast spells as fast as the war queens. However, it has the advantage of less magic consumption and greater power.

If it weren't for the fact that this world doesn't seem to have the potions in the game that can quickly restore mana. It is estimated that the magicians in this world will definitely become humanoid turrets, and when they fight, they can just set off fireworks at that station (with less magic consumption and magic recovery potions, they can become a perpetual motion machine on the battlefield)!

In her research, Rose also discovered that the part of this world's magic system that most affects the casting time is about the gathering of magic elements and the use of willpower to draw magic circles in the air.

The speed of drawing the magic circle is related to the complexity of the magic cast and the caster's own willpower, and there is no way to improve and improve this aspect for the time being, of course, Ress also proposed a solution for magic modeling, but the difficulty of modeling the magic circle is too high. For the time being, this technical difficulty has not been overcome, but Sui Yu believes that Ruisi will definitely have a way.

Magical modeling is not possible for the time being, so Ress starts with the speed of gathering magical elements and improves the magic of this world.

And the method of her improvement is also very simple, which is to speed up the casting of spells by increasing the efficiency of chanting (Ling Shiyin: Singing is powerful!). ）。

It was discovered after research by Rose and Ling Shiyin. Ai Xue's fireball magic spell wants to simplify and speed up, so after sifting through a large number of songs, only the frequency of the phrase "The vast end of the world is my love" is the most consistent magic spell with the fireball technique......

At this time, after seeing Ai Xue unleash a fireball technique in a few seconds to blow up the two fishmen who rushed up, Sui Yu couldn't bear to imagine what kind of scene the battle between mages would be like if Ress's improvement was promoted.

You threw out a fireball with "The end of the vast world is my love", and I released a wind blade with "How many dreams are flying freely", and I thought the two were singing to each other just by listening to it, but in fact, these two people are trying to beat each other's brains out......

Okay, Sui Yu admits that his mind was wrong when he was fighting (which is obviously suspicious of paddling), but who made the current battle so boring!

Yes, it's just boring!

Because the battle queens continued to shoot the approaching fishmen one by one, and at the same time, Fanny and Kanami guarded on both sides of him, causing Sui Yu to almost be unable to move, and now Sui Yu was only left with thoughts racing except for standing majestically in the middle of the battle queen with the spear of the hidden sword in his hand!

"The princess is here! The princess is back! The shouts of the fishmen were still ringing in his ears, and Sui Yu smiled bitterly and said to Hakeya, who had just gone out and arranged a few spaces to teleport back, "Do these guys regard this as a cry during battle?" There's no end to it! Is it because we ate one of their princesses? Do you want to drag the whole family to accompany the funeral? ”

"I'm afraid so!" Hakya nodded slightly in a concise and horrible manner, and with a flick of the scythe of the sky, another space slash was arranged not far in front of everyone, and then Sui Yu saw that many unlucky fishmen were directly torn apart by the shadowless and invisible space crack when they passed by the space slash called the space slash, which was actually a space crack, and even the corpses of many fishmen fell directly into another space!

Sui Yu had to sigh, no matter when he watched Hakoya perform spatial magic, it made people subconsciously feel chills all over his body - fortunately, Hakya was his own person!

"It's boring, what's the use of having more of these mobs?" Millie seemed to be tired of this near-slaughter battle, and complained to Sui Yu as she threw her wind blade out.

Sui Yu looked up at the sky, looking through a shield released by the war queens to keep out the rain, although the dark clouds in the sky were gloomy, the sunlight behind the dark clouds could still be seen in some places. So Sui Yu comforted Millie and said, "Yes! It's boring! But it's not bad to go on like this, there is always a limited amount of moisture in the sky around here, and when this rain is over, the fish-people will naturally retreat! We will be victorious then! Unless the fish-man can dispatch more powerful guys at this time, these weak chickens are doomed to failure! ”

As soon as Sui Yu's words fell, he heard a mercenary team stationed on the top of a house not far away shouting to everyone: "It's not good! Fishman Warriors! A lot of fish-man warriors have landed! Oh my! And the Fish-Man Spellcaster! This is in trouble! ”

Sensing that the battle concubines were focusing on themselves, Sui Yu touched the back of his head again and explained with a dry smile: "I said this is a coincidence, do you believe it or not?" (To be continued.) )
