Chapter 139: Spearmen and Shieldmen
Little Naga poured himself a big sip of acorn wine and immediately got drunk, Yang Yi was dumbfounded, and he could only wait for Little Naga to wake up.
Who knew that the little Naga slept for three days and three nights and didn't wake up, Yang Yi ran to the cave where the little Naga was held several times, and saw that the little Naga had been breathing steadily, so he was relieved.
Yang Yi has been training at the Level 3 Fish-Man Tidewalker Camp these days, and now the Fish-Man Tidewalker Camp is the highest-level building in Ratchet Tooth Village to train combat professionals. The buildings of these combat professionals in Ratchet Village are all architectural, but this is the only one that has no other branches, and Yang Yi wants to make full use of the architectural effect to improve the efficiency of training.
Shock wave!
The Sindra Trident in Yang Yi's hand slammed diagonally to the ground, and a substantial white impact burst rushed forward in a straight line, and the shock wave continued to advance eleven or twelve meters before slowing down and dissipating.
"Whew~" Yang Yi let out a sigh. "The progress is very fast, the shock wave sent out at the beginning looks like a mist, now it is much more visible, and the distance of the impact has increased a lot."
At present, Yang Yi's two major killer moves are the fish-man special skill Sonic Spear obtained by lottery and the special skill Sonic Spear from Bane. The shockwave that Bloodhoof learned from him, both of these skills are very powerful, especially suitable for use on large battlefields. The Sonic Spear fires a cone-shaped sound wave in the direction the longarm is pointing, while the shock wave sends a force field blast straight forward in front of it. In terms of range, the Sonic Spear has a wider range, while the Shockwave has a longer range. There is no restriction on the direction of the Sonic Spear, and the weapon can be fired in any direction. The shock wave can only be fired along the foot and in front of you.
"Sonic Spear and Shockwave are both ranged killing skills, and the effects of the two skills overlap a bit, but the two skills still have their own effects. You have to practice well. ”
Yang Yi rested for a while and then practiced the two skills a few more times, and then put the trident away. Today is the day of the maiden voyage of Ratchet Village No. 1, and he, the village chief, is going to the dock to preside over the maiden voyage ceremony.
Yang Yi rode a turtle mount, took the two small fishmen, Ben Boba and Mozamus, and hugged them in front of a group of fishmen, and they swaggered towards the dock.
Ratchet Village One is docked at the pier, and the two-masted sail has a sky-blue flag flying above it. On the banner is a milky white mussel shell shield and two crossed tridents, which is the flag that would later represent the identity of the Ratchet Fishman Village.
"The fishmen in the village are very good." Yang Yi was very satisfied with this flag.
The crafts of the Fish-People have always been good, and it is not a problem to make a flag. Recently, the village of Ratchet is preparing to build a large fishman handicraft workshop. The workshop will specialize in making fishman handicrafts for sale. In particular, there are a lot of pearls accumulated in the village, and if you make these pearls into jewelry and sell them for sale, the price is much higher than if you sell them directly.
"Village Chief, Ratchet Village No. 1 is ready, please give instructions." The fish-man Monetov reported to him in style. His sailing skills were learned from humans in Gilneth. He also learned a lot about human behavior.
Moketov is now the captain of Ratchet Village One, flanked by the troll Tarray and two undead gnolls, with thirty fishmen behind them. These thirty fish-men are the sailors of Ratchet Village No. 1, these fish-man sailors are mainly composed of beach-patrolling fishmen, and ten of them are combat professionals, who are responsible for the sailing of the ship in addition to the task of keeping the sailboat safe.
"Hmm." Yang Yi nodded, "Ready." ”
"Yes, village chief!" Moketov straightened up and shouted. At the same time, he also saluted.
Moketov and his crew went aboard the Ratchet Village No. 1, and the inaugural ceremony ended so simply.
In the cheers of the many fishmen on the shore. Ratchet Village No. 1 slowly, the two-masted galleon slowly sailed away from the dock.
"The captain is a fish-man, the first and second officers are undead gnolls, the navigator is a dark spear troll, and there are thirty fish-man sailors, and the crew combination of Ratchet Village No. 1 is strange enough." Yang Yi couldn't help but think as he looked at No. 1 Ratchet Village that was leaving the dock.
Ratchet Village No. 1 went smoothly and gradually moved away, Yang Yi let the fishmen gathered at the pier disperse, and then he returned to the village to continue training.
"The 8th Level 3 Beach Patrol Fishman Training Camp has been completed. Complete the task of building 8 level 3 beach patrol fishman training camps in 10 days, and reward: one chance to draw a lottery. ”
A quest completion prompt sounds, and a quest is completed.
"The construction task this time was completed quite quickly, upgrading to the level 3 beach patrol fishman training camp requires a senior builder, and there are now two senior fishman builders in Ratchet Village, and it is very easy to complete this construction task."
Yang Yi, who was training, put the trident on the weapon rack, and he entered the mysterious space of the lottery as soon as possible.
The task on the reels in the last lottery was to keep the two Minotaurs, and in the face of this unreliable task, Yang Yi could only choose to complete the hidden construction task, so this time he had no chance to choose the task reward.
"Start the draw."
The black hands on the large disc appear and begin to turn.
Yang Yi's eyes were staring at the black pointer that was constantly decelerating, he had seen a lot of lottery scenes like this, but he still couldn't help but be nervous and look forward to it every time he drew a lottery.
Finally, the black hand rests in Zone 1.
"Level 3 Fishman Beach Walker Camp Construction Blueprint! Not bad, not bad. What is the mission this time? Leave the little Naga behind! Yang Yi was overjoyed, whether it was the blueprints of the Level 3 Fish-Man Beach Walker Camp or the task of leaving the little Naga behind, it seemed to be tailor-made for Ratchet Village.
Yang Yi has always counted the training success rate of various training buildings in Ratchet Village. The training of the Fishman Hunter and the Beach Patrol Fishman Training Camp in these training buildings is undoubtedly the easiest for the Fishmen to succeed, and after that, the Fishman in the village has the greatest chance of advancing after training is the Fishman Beach Walker Camp, so now the most combat professional Fishman in the village is the Fishman Beach Walker.
The Fish-Man Beach Walker is a warrior class of the Fish-People, and this class does not require too much of the Fish-Man's natural expertise. As long as the strong fish-man has enough training, he will be able to advance. Unlike Fish-Man Tiderunner Camps, which are also small village buildings, Fish-People usually need to possess some animal-related specialties in order to successfully advance to Fish-Man Tiderunners, although such specializations are not uncommon. But it also greatly affected the number of fish-people in Ratchet Village.
There are also two buildings in Ratchet Village that train Fish-Man Tide Catchers and Fish-Man Nightcrawlers, which are used to train the Fish-Man Mage class and the Fish-Man Rogue class, respectively, but so far there are still only a handful of fishmen in the village who can advance to these two classes.
Yang Yi now understands that in the world of Azeroth, it is basically impossible for you to form a mage or a thief army to fight on the battlefield, and these two professions can only exist as small-scale special forces.
"Obviously, the main force of the battle in Ratchet Village so far is still the militia of the Fish-People, the Fish-Patrol Fishmen. However, in the future, the Fishman Beach Walker, a Fish-Man warrior class, will slowly replace the position of the Beach Patrol Fishman on the battlefield. So how to arrange the Fish-Man Tide Walker on the battlefield in the future, it can't still be mixed with the Fish-Man Beach Walker like now. Yang Yi thought about how to make reasonable use of the characteristics of each class and assign them different battlefield tasks.
"Most of the people in the village who have learned the throwing skills are fish-man tide walkers, so it is better to gather all these fish-man beach walkers together to form a fish-man spearman brigade. The Dark Spear Troll Spear Thrower Troop in the Horde Camp is famous. The spears they throw are the weapons that harvest life on the battlefield. ”
Yang Yi had long wanted to form a team of fishmen with long-range attack capabilities like centaurs, but at present, only a small number of fishmen in the village trained by the Hunters' Guild were good at using bows and crossbows, and the other fishmen did not know how to use bows and crossbows. However, throwing weapons is a combat method that the Fish-People are good at, so Yang Yi decided to follow the example of the Dark Spear Trolls to form a Fish-Man spear-throwing army.
Yang Yi thought of it and immediately started to act. He asked the old blind to gather all the fish-people and tidewalkers in the village. Fish-people who have already learned throwing skills start training in group spear throwing in teams of ten, while those who have not yet learned throwing skills will have special throwing training on the side.
The Fishman Spearman Troop began to be formed, and the construction of the Fishman Shield Soldier was about to be prepared, so Yang Yi asked the Fishman Beach Walker to be the Fishman Shield Soldier. There are not many shields and equipment in the Ratchet Village at the scene, except for some purchased in the early stage, the others are the shields of the Theramore soldiers captured from the Canyon Fish-Man Village, so at present, only some Fish-Man Beach walkers can temporarily use wooden planks or large clam shells as shields for training.
"Training soldiers is not a simple matter, and there are no fish-man talents in the village."
Yang Yi looked at the two teams of fishman spearthrowers and fishman shield soldiers that had been formed, and he began to worry about how to effectively train these two teams. After all, he didn't understand this himself.
Yang Yi and Old Blind were discussing how other races in the world of Azeroth could train soldiers, when three beach-patrolling fishmen came running from the direction of the beach.
"The village chief. Lobster people are spotted in Ratchet Bay. The beach-patrolling fishman hurriedly reported.
"The lobster people, the fish-people in the village, and did they fight? Were there any casualties? Yang Yi hurriedly asked.
"There was no fight, the lobster people were avoiding us." The beach patrol fishman returns.
"The lobster man took the initiative to avoid us fish people? How many lobster people are there? Yang Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect the lobster man to avoid the fish man.
The three beach-patrolling fishmen each gestured with their hands.
Yang Yi already knew these fishmen very well, and when he saw the comparison of the fishmen patrolling the beach, he probably guessed that there were less than a hundred lobster people entering the Ratchet Bay.
"Where are these lobster people in Ratchet Bay right now? What did they do when they came to the bay? Yang Yi asked again.
"The lobster man walked on the beach towards the shore and didn't do anything." The beach patrol fishman replied.
"Old Blind, gather the fighting fishmen in the village. Whatever the purpose of these lobster people coming to Ratchet Bay, it's going to kick them out anyway. Yang Yi ordered.
Ever since the Fishmen of Ratchet Village leveled the Canyon Fishmen Village, the waters of Ratchet Bay have basically become the territory of the Fishmen of Ratchet Village. Although Ratchet Village is not yet able to fully control Ratchet Bay, hostile races such as the Lobster People are not allowed to roam the area.
The team was assembled, and this time a total of 400 battle fishmen were gathered.
"Let's go!"
Yang Yi asked the old blind to stay and watch the house, and he set off with Brak and four hundred battle fishmen.
A quick march along the Caravan coast. Half a day later, Yang Yi saw the figure of the lobster people, which was a group of slippery shell lobster people.
"There are only fifty of them. Brak you rush over with the fishmen and try to keep a few alive. Yang Yi used the Eagle Eye Technique to observe the situation of the lobster man and handed over the battle to Brak.
"Yes, village chief!" Braque replied excitedly.
"Woo-la-wah!"
Braque picked up his three-edged fork and rushed first.
"Wow la-......"
Four hundred battle fishmen also rushed after Brak.
When the Slippery Lobster Man saw the large number of fishmen rushing towards him, they immediately fled into the sea in a panic.
Lobsters are large and affected by their weight they can't outrun fish people on land, but when they are in the water, their huge tails can be used when swimming.
Braque is a fast runner, and some time ago he went hunting on Thorn Ridge with the pioneers of the Knights of the Holy Sword. The pioneer of good deeds also gave him the title of "Rushing Braque".
Brak catches up with the fleeing lobster man, and a fish-man net is thrown out to accurately cover a lobster man, and the running lobster man is covered by the fish-man net and falls heavily to the ground.
Brac scurried right past the fallen lobster. He quickly caught up with a lobster man who was lagging behind, and with a wave of the three-edged fork in his hand, a tendon-breaking skill was used. Broken tendon is a skill of the warrior class, and the role of this skill is to cause the enemy's legs and feet to be injured. As a result, the lobster man with an injured leg and foot immediately slowed down.
Most of the lobster people fled into the sea. Braque left a total of four lobster people behind him. The battle fishmen behind them arrived, and they surrounded the lobster people.
The lobster man, who was trapped by the fishman net, quickly used his prawn claws on the ground to cut the aquatic grass net, and the four lobster people gathered together, knowing that there was no room for negotiation in the face of the fish man.
The lobster people have great strength, and a pair of prawn claws are a killing weapon, and the fishmen keep a distance from them.
"Cast the net!"
Braque commands the Fishmen.
More than a dozen fish-man nets covered the four lobster people, and immediately trapped all the lobster people.
"Throw a spear!"
Braque shouted again.
Whoosh ......
Thirty or forty spears were thrown at the trapped lobster man one after another.
Although the lobster people are trapped, the shrimp shells on their bodies are very hard. In particular, the shells of their backs and tails are thicker. At the critical moment, the four lobster people all curled up their bodies into a large shrimp ball, protecting their bodies with the back and the back shell of the shrimp tail.
Most of the spears thrown by the Fishmen hit the back and tail of the Lobstermen, leaving only a deep or shallow white mark on their shells. Occasionally, a few spears managed to pierce the lobsterman's shell, but they didn't penetrate much depth.
"Up!"
Brak knew that spear throwing would not be effective at such times, and he rushed over with the Battle Fishmen.
The four trapped lobstermen put up a stubborn resistance, and after injuring two of them, they were all beaten to death and taken prisoner.
Yang Yi saw the situation of the battle in his eyes, especially the injuries of the two fishmen made him think. "Fishmen are indeed inherently at a disadvantage when facing lobster people, especially when fighting in close quarters. The Lobster Man is a natural Hercules and an armored warrior, and the Fishman should find a way to reduce hand-to-hand combat with the Lobster Man, but the Lobster Man's shrimp shell is very restrained from long-range attacking crossbowmen and spearmen, which is really difficult to do. ”
The four captured lobster people were brought to Yang Yi, and although their shrimp shells were thick, they were now also four rotten shrimp shells under the ferocious attack of a large group of fishmen.
"Say! Where are you from? What are you doing here? Yang Yi questioned the lobster man closest to him.
"Hmph." The lobster man turned silent.
"Kill him." Yang Yi ordered.
Burst!
Brack's three-edged fork pierces the lobster man's head, causing the lobster man to fall to the ground and die.
"You, do you want to say it?" Yang Yi asked another lobster man.
The lobster man was frightened, and he hesitated.
"Killed." Yang Yi ordered again.
With a lift of his hand, Braque solved another lobster man.
"I say, I say."
The remaining two lobster people were heartbroken, and immediately told the truth.
It turns out that these lobster people are from a tribe of slippery lobster people not far from the bay of Ratchet Tooth, and they have come to Ratchet Bay this time to find a small Naga who has been taken away by the fishmen.
After listening to the words of the two lobster people, Yang Yi realized that their purpose was the little Naga, and it seemed that there was some secret hidden in this little Naga.
"Bring these two lobster people back, send some more fishmen to patrol the bay, and come back to report if you find the lobster people reappearing." Yang Yi finally gave an order. (To be continued......)
