277. The decisive thing
My name is Cage, an orphan whose family was shattered by the war, but God, I didn't become a thief or a thief, spending my days with rats in the sewers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was the Light that saved me.
It was the Church of true righteousness, and I will never forget the sight of the Eye of Light, and since then I have been bathed in the embrace of the Light and listened to its teachings.
There, I got a glimpse of the human world as it really is, and one day we will liberate all human beings and let hypocrisy and lies disappear from our world.
Under the leadership of Her Majesty, we will fulfill this ambition, and our glorious victory in Stormwind foreshadows it.
Even if it costs my life, I will not hesitate to do so.
Now, as the son of a former fisherman, I have been called to join the fleet of the crusade against Kurtiras, and I have become a chaplain.
Goblins are cunning creatures that are the main members of the fleet, but it seems that our elven allies have conquered them, and the goblins have very powerful engineering weapons that give them a great advantage in naval battles, and Kurtilas was beaten behind closed doors, but the commander of the fleet and the captains of the ships tried to drag Kurtiras to death by delay, and I tried to stop them, but without success.
Most of the people of Kurtilas are innocent, and if they drag, those innocent people will be the first to die, while the cunning and depraved nobles will live their lives in their own granaries, so that even victory will be meaningless.
I reported this to the Church, but I was dismayed to hear that goblins were just hired mercenaries, and mercenaries had the right to choose the way to fight with the least loss, and that was the power of the Light to every life.
Please forgive me for being too selfish for my racist thoughts, I repent, but I know that although I confess on my lips, my heart will still put human lives above other races, this is an ungodly prayer, this is a deep sin, I feel that the gift of the Light has become significantly smaller, this is the punishment of the all-knowing and all-powerful Light, and I plan to return to the monastery to pay for my sins in order to do things for the people.
However, it seems that the Light has chosen another way for me to pay for my sins.
The Siren named Naga, the evil creature that lives in mythology, plans to upend the world of the Light, and the Light is a wake-up call for humanity through my eyes.
I need to stop Naga's plot by all means, but I don't know where to start, I'm so small, if it were Her Majesty, she would know what to do.
Just as I panicked, the voice of my instructor, Bishop Kane, echoed in my head.
'Be calm! As a qualified paladin, be calm at all times, don't be discouraged even if the difficulties ahead of you are as desperate as a mountain, if things are so difficult that you despair, then don't look forward, you just need to lower your head to solve the trouble in front of you, get rid of the difficulties under your feet little by little, and in the end you will find that even the mountains will be leveled by you, in addition, if you really encounter difficulties, try to seek the help of your companions, you are not alone. ’
Instructor Kane's words were like my guiding light, and it dawned on me.
Yes, I just need to solve the dilemma in front of me little by little, and one day, the dilemma will be overcome by me, and even if I fail, my companion will continue my path.
So I swam out of the cave and thanked the elders named shamans, who gave me the ability to breathe and fight under the sea, incredible, in this difficult seabed, not only did I not feel the pressure of the sea, but I did not even swing my sword in the slightest slowing down and obscure, according to the shaman, this is the blessing of the water element, and the blessed person is at the bottom of the sea like going home.
The blessings given to me by the shaman do not last long, and I have to look for a material that can give me blessings for a long time, and I have to look for a lot, because those who are in trouble with me also need this blessing.
It was a pearl, a pearl as bright as a lantern, and it was easy to find because they were the only source of light at the bottom of the sea.
However, it is also very dangerous, because the mussels that produce pearls are accompanied by large crabs that are not easy to bully.
Crabs that are more than a person tall, the bite force of their pincers can even cut off a person's waist, they will lurk around the sea mussels, prey on some creatures attracted by the light, and in return, they will also give a little bit of the food they prey.
But for me, it's just a double win, because of the crab meat.
Until we recover the supplies from the shipwreck, crab meat is our only source of food.
Fighting under the sea is really weird, all the combat skills I've been trained in are applied on land, where I'm used to seeing and listening to all directions, and now, my eyes are not only focused on the area in front of me, but also the upper and lower two large areas.
I once mistakenly thought that there would only be one sea crab waiting around a sea mussel, but I was caught in the foot by the pliers that suddenly stretched out in the sand, but fortunately I was wearing heavy armor, and although the pliers deformed the leg guards, they did not clip through.
Since then, I've been on my toes and adapted to this strange combat environment.
One day passed, and in the course of the day, the shamans rescued more of the victims, and it seemed that they could listen to the sound of the sea and know where to find someone every time, which was an incredible profession.
After I recovered some pearls and helped me and some of the shipwrecked people to get their blessings, they also started searching for pearls with me, and it is worth mentioning that we also found our shipwreck on the way to find the pearls.
Thankfully, the damage to our boat wasn't too bad, except for a hole that the Naga had cut out from underneath that could be used as long as it was patched up, provided we could clean up the water.
But it was also very unfortunate that a strange glin-like goblin took possession of our ship, and fortunately our goblin was able to communicate with them, and seeing his last loveless face, it was estimated that he had paid a great price to get his ship back.
Seeing his appearance, I still have some schadenfreude in my heart, Almighty Holy Light, please forgive me, I repent......
Of course, on the way to find pearls, we inevitably encountered Naga.
These Nagas seem to be the same Naga who attacked us, they seem to have calculated the time to come and pick up things, what a savage and evil race.
The shamans say that the Naga enslave a lot of the water elementals, which makes the water elements fear and make them hate the Nagas, and if we can help the water elements defeat these Nagas, the generous elements may help us to raise the boat to the water, so that we can go back to land and I can report this to the church.
There is no doubt that my church will put an end to the Naga's machinations and save the world, but the biggest obstacle before me is how to defeat these Nagas.
According to the shaman, the leader of the Naga is at least a heroic character.
Heroic ......
Such a distant powerhouse, even the church may not exceed three hundred people, and here there is no one.
The shamans say that there are quite a few heroic powerhouses in their organization, but they are all busy dealing with the more powerful Naga.
How to defeat a hero, that's a question.
"If we could know her profession, maybe we could develop a countermeasure based on her weaknesses." A clever goblin said.
"Mage!" The Minotaur Shaman of the Ring of the Earth affirmed, "Definitely a mage!" ”
"So...... Speaking of the mage's weakness......" the goblin mused.
"Body." I am very sure that as a member of the church, I once entered the mage zone during the attack on Stormwind City, and the strength of the mages is indeed extraordinary, but the law breakers take the lead, and basically as soon as they get close to the mages, the victory and defeat are already distinguished.
"If we can find a close opportunity, we might win."
"But a mage must have many guards around him, how do we break through those guards, by the way, even if we really get close, a flash from him is likely to make us fall short, so it seems to me that we can only sneak up and kill with one blow." The clever goblin said.
His statement was affirmed by all.
"There are spells to detect stealth in the mage's spells, and even spells to detect life, not to mention that we don't have a stalker here, and even if there is, there is no way to get close to a heroic mage if you are not a stealth master." These are the words of the Minotaur Elder.
Everyone was silent, people were thinking, but no one squeaked for a long time.
"Then it seems that only dead people like the undead stalker have the possibility of assassinating the archmage, hehe." A goblin is enlivening the mood, but the joke only makes us glare.
"Detective Life...... Only the dead ......" Just as we were drawn to the profane joke, the clever goblin test pondered, as if he had suddenly fallen into a daze.
"I thought of it!" Suddenly, all of us were startled, and the clever goblin danced and laughed happily.
"What did you think of?!" We couldn't wait to ask.
"I thought of a good baby who was not a life, but could threaten her life......"
………………
The Nagas were furious about the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea.
"My lady, those ships have been emptied, and this is not the work of the Haitian elves, unless they are tired of living, or they know that it will cause us to be angry." A Naga reported.
"Then find out who dares to steal from us!"
In fact, there are always some clues in the process of the survivors moving things, and people on land always like to step on the ground, especially those who can't swim, so the traces of the bottom of the sea gradually guide the Naga to that underwater cave......
"There it is! It must be the survivors of those ships! Give me offense! ”
………………
"Be sure to block it!" I shouted, and divine power emanated from my body, more or less increasing the strength of my comrades around me.
I roared like a beast of despair, or rather I wanted to act like a beast of struggle.
The Nagas are attacking fiercely, and those who can do magic are overwhelmed by the Nagas, and sacrifice is inevitable, and I want to pray for their souls, but there is no time for this now, and there is no need for this, because if the plan fails, I will also be one of them, and then I may be able to pray for them to go to the kingdom of Light.
And if it wins, then there will be more time, and the dead soul can exist for at least half a day.
Not to mention half a day, the key to the success of our plan is only ten minutes later.
Our line of defense slowly retreated, and in the cave alone, our numbers were several times lower than that of the Naga, so we retreated quickly, and they had no suspicions.
We quickly pushed to the place where the supplies were stacked, and here we had no choice but to hold on.
Fortunately, as planned, the Nagas were very interested in this batch of supplies, so those mages withdrew their hands to avoid unnecessary losses to the materials.
This is exactly what we want, if we have suffered a great reduction in casualties, and the Nagas will not be able to break through our defenses for a while.
"Needless resistance!" Suddenly, a deafening sound rang out, and the sound was clearly amplified by magic, very pretending to be X.
It was a very majestic female voice, she spoke the lingua franca of the mainland, and it was not fluent, so the words were clear.
"Your resistance will only increase your suffering, so give up, and I will order my men to give you a pain."
She said contemptuously, which caused us to revolt violently.
"Damn witch!"
"We won't die as you wish!"
"You deformed ridiculous monster!"
"Did you have a birth from your mom and a sea monster!?"
"You didn't beep when you gave birth to a baby~~Beep~~"
We're talking more and more ugly, O Light, forgive me, I didn't mean to swear.
"I want you dead!"
Sure enough, the female leader of Naga was enraged, and the Naga in front of her cowered and made way for her, and the female leader swaggered to the center of the cave.
"I'll kill you with my own hands!" She said sinisterly, but one of the goblins in our team smiled sinisterly.
'Kill your mother's stinking ......,' he said with his mouth and gently tugged at a thin thread.
"Buzz!" "Whoosh!"
The female leader who was performing magic didn't have time to think at all, and a dense stream of crossbow arrows swept in from all directions......
………………
She died, so horrible that even her parents would never recognize her.
Yes, the key to our success is those inanimate traps.
Later we began to fight back like mad dogs, and the shamans began to pray for the help of the water element.
The Nagas, who had lost their female leader, appeared to be devastated and retreated after the shamans worked together to summon several powerful water elementals.
This victory is easy to say, but there are actually a few key points, and if we fail at any point, we will definitely lose.
First of all, we bet that the Naga race is very arrogant and arrogant, and arrogant people will not act so inhibitively, they will think that they will win, so they will let their guard down, and they will not check carefully after entering the cave, of course, this is also related to our acting skills, and our appearance of panic or despair will greatly make Naga misjudge.
Secondly, we are betting that the Naga leader is a guy who likes to be high-profile and likes to be self-centered, and the shaman here is very familiar with the Naga, and knows that the Naga is an evil race of absolute command, and the orders of the superior and the subordinate cannot be violated, under the premise of this background, the leaders of the Naga must be spoiled, thinking that the whole world is their own, so they act in a high-profile manner, and even the position of the station must stand in the middle, and the middle is the position that our trap is aimed at.
In the end, we have to hold on until the Naga leader is impatient, we rely on supplies, the Naga attack the fleet is for the supplies inside, with the supplies by their side, they will definitely have scruples, and without the threat of magic, we can survive the siege of the male Naga without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Of course, we have also made backhand preparations, for example, we have set up some backhand traps according to the shape of the cave, if the Naga leader reacts and dodges the middle trap, the position where she flashes is likely to be the attack position of our backhand trap, so we also have the possibility of turning the tables, but fortunately this backhand is not used.
It's really a glorious victory, not that I say, this victory is enough for me to blow for the rest of my life, and I have already painted in my mind pictures of telling stories to my grandson, about this war.
I even think that if this war can be adapted into a drama, it will definitely be passed down through the ages.
I thought so, and then I watched as our wreck rose to the surface of the water under the tuk of a mysterious force, and the water inside flowed out of itself like a fountain of its own, and in the blink of an eye the repaired ship was restored to its ability to sail.
So we re-embarked on the shipwrecks and began to sail back to our respective territories.
