Chapter 31 Defending the Homeland
"Porphyrine Village Chief, can you explain to us what the fish-man that accompanies the dawn is?" Avena asked respectfully, some kind of incense burned in the cave of the fish-man village chief, and the strange smell of smoke made Anvina unable to open her eyes.
Mo Qi snorted coldly when he heard this. He had no interest in the tales that were passed down among the fish-men, and he was more concerned with his own feet, which had been hit by at least a hundred clams in the morning. The Fishman Village Chief gave him a potion called "Cool Scale Water", which he said was very useful. Mochi estimated that this "toner" was equivalent to a human "toner", but the potion was really suspicious - it smelled of salted dried fish, and Moqi was hesitating whether to use it.
The old village chief trembled and hung the bone painting back on the wall of the cave in the middle of the cavern, where other things hung from itβa delicate necklace of shells (much like the one on Mochi's body), a dried algae clump, and the skull of a giant fish creature. Mochi was sure that this thing was not something that the fish-men here could hunt.
"That's a legend that has been circulating among the Evil Finned Fishmen for a long time......" The Fishman Village Chief sat down on the bed and lit a wooden pipe similar to "Dry Smoke", and when he saw Mo Qi's curious eyes, he handed the Dry Smoke over, "Do you want to taste it?" β
"Thanks, I don't usually smoke." Mochi shook his hand and refused.
"Don't you really smoke? This is my freshly dried lake algae silk, don't be so polite! In our village, all adult male fish-men love this ......" Seeing that Moqi resolutely refused, the old village chief took back his pipe and glanced at Moqi with slanted eyes, his eyes full of contempt for Moqi who could not smoke.
This is the sadness of non-smokers, even in the game world, Mochi will be despised in the circle of male creatures.
"Legend has it that the fish that come with dawn will bring great changes to the homes of the Evilfin Fishmen, giving them an impregnable fortress ......," said the old village chief, puffing out two green smoke rings through his nostrils with a look of enjoyment. When the smoke ring passed in front of Mo Qi, Mo Qi smelled a smell of roasted kelp.
"And when the day of the end comes, the legendary fish-men will blow their horns condensed by the power of the tides, and the evil-finned fishmen will follow their swords against the evil creators and the hordes of terror." When the old village chief said this, his cloudy eyes kept staring at Mo Qi.
For a moment, Mo Qi felt that he saw a desire to fight in the eyes of the old village chief.
But then Mo Qi vetoed his idea, and the old village chief's hand holding the pipe was shaking all the time, and he must have been smoked by the smoke of this roasted kelp to have such an idea.
"So, two fish-men who came with Dawn, are you here today to help us?" The old village chief asked.
What Mochi wanted to say was "No, we're just passing by, we're going to leave right away." You keep busy with your business, no need to send it. β
But before he could open his mouth, Anwena agreed again, "We may not be the legendary fish-people, but we are willing to do what we can for this village." β
"Then I'll be straight to the point......"
The old village chief was about to open his mouth, but his granddaughter Nilu rushed in.
"Grandpa is not good! The bad guys who rode bats are here again! Nilu said profusely sweating.
"Hurry up and inform everyone and let everyone hide!" The old village chief said with a pale face.
Mochi stood at the entrance of the cave, and the situation on the island was already in chaos.
The Fish-People Tidewalker in charge of the patrol was the first to spot the enemy and sounded the alarm to the other fishmen-
"Ahhh
Sirens echoed across Dawn Island, and the Devilfinmen fled in panic. Adult fish-men pick up fish-people and tadpoles and quickly jump into the water, while slow-moving older fish-people choose to hide behind rocks.
Mochi looked up and saw three huge bats flying over Dawn Island, and Mochi noticed that there were several undead sitting on the bat's back. The bat pilots chose to fly at low altitudes, so Mochi could barely hear their conversation.
"See there?"
"Is it there?"
"Yes, that's there, there's the densest concentration of fish-people under that tree."
"Bomb ready!"
"Launch!"
Before he could finish speaking, Moch saw a large green ball fall towards the pine forest, which was full of old and sick. After a loud bang, I saw a thick green smoke rising from the pine forest, and countless fish-people, women and children fell in this green poisonous mist.
Mochi finally remembered what was going on. Everything in front of me stems from the Royal Apothecary's plague bomb experiments.
The Forsaken have refused to sign the Plague Non-Proliferation Treaty on the grounds that they are weak developing countries, and have been experimenting with the plague despite the condemnation of tribal societies.
The Forsaken leader Sylvanas announced that the country already has a high-energy plague bomb and is ready to use the weapon to preserve the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. "The Forsaken has been able to become a plague power ready to ******** sovereignty and national dignity with its own developed plague bombs and high-energy plague bombs," Sylvanas said. β
During his reign of Garrosh-Hellroar, the Plague Investigation Team was dispatched several times to investigate, urging the Forsaken to shut down all plague-related experiments and stop any actions that would cause tension in the Eastern Kingdoms. However, Sylvanas and the Royal Apothecary Guild ignored this, and continued to experiment with plague bombs on Dawn Island.
"Cover your mouths!"
Mochi and Anvena hurriedly followed the village chief's example, covering their mouths and noses with a strip of damp cloth.
As a member of the Horde, Mochi had participated in this experiment in the past, but after changing his perspective, Moqi suddenly felt so aggrieved - a group of people suddenly rushed into his village, and then kept throwing plague bombs on his head, which was completely a banditry act!
Fortunately, I don't live in this village, otherwise I would have to die of anger. Mochi thought with relief.
"You see it too...... This is the current situation of our evil finned fish people. After the bombardment, the old village chief and a group of wounded fishmen stood in front of Moqi and Anvena and pleaded, "Will you help us with the dawn of the fishmen?" β
As soon as the village chief's voice fell, Mo Qi received a prompt from the system-
[Trigger the quest "Defend the Homeland", do you accept it?] γ
Mission Statement: We are already miserable in the face of the protracted bombardment of the Forsaken Air Force, and the plague is raging on our homeland, taking the lives of our young children. Fortunately, now that you have appeared, the fish-people who have come with the dawn, will you help us defend our homeland?
Rewards:
Experience 1200, 30 silver, 50 bronze.
When he saw that the experience points were 1,200, Mo Qi couldn't hold back any longer, "Help, you have to help!" If you don't help, you're not human! β
The Fishmen: "Huh? β
"Uh...... I meanβyou have to help, if you don't help, you're not a fishman! Don't worry, the village chief, this task will be handed over to us. Mo Qi put his arm around the old village chief's shoulders and patted his chest to reassure.
