Brak patrolled with the Battle Fishmen, keeping an eye out for the centaurs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The nights in the barren land are cold, but the days are hot and dry. Whenever the wind blows in the grassland, the rolling sand and gravel hitting the face will make people feel unbearable pain.
As an amphibian race, fish-people are more inseparable from water than humans, and fish-people are not suitable for staying in the inland environment of barren land for a long time.
Braque stood on a small dirt slope, his blue-purple scales covered in green patches on his skin, and he looked a little funny.
Braque, however, didn't care about the color of his body, he straightened up the fishman with his spear, and watched the situation in the distance like a watchful mongoose.
On his belt was a string of skin bags, which were used to store water in addition to some food. In addition to these fur water bags, he also carried a linen bag for storage, a horn conch for trumpeting, and seashells, corals, and pearls for decoration.
Since the fish-people are not in the habit of wearing clothes, Brac hangs all the things he wants to use, decorate, and represent his status on his belt, and it looks like he is wearing a large flower dress that kills Matt.
There was a small patch of bushes growing under the small dirt slope where Braque stood, and several fishmen hid in the shade of the bushes to hide from the scorching sun, and the fishmen took turns going out to keep watch so as not to be all exposed to the scorching sun. Like Braque, they carry water bags for storing water, and their skin is covered in green patches.
The green color painted on the fish-men is not camouflage for concealment, but because they dig up grass roots in the bushes, mash them up, and apply them to their bodies. In dry land, grass roots are the organs that store water for plants, and this is also done to moisturize the skin of fish scales.
The consequences of not being in contact with water for a long time are chapped skin, severe pain, and even death. Therefore, the surface of the fish-man will secrete a layer of mucus to protect the body, and the slimy scales can keep the skin moist.
Under the windy sun of the Barren Lands, the fish-people's scale skin will quickly dry even if it is protected by mucus, and in order to prevent the skin from losing water, the fish-people must constantly douse themselves with water.
This time, Brak came out with a brigade of 100 battle fishmen, the barren land was too vast, and the 100 battle fishmen were divided into ten squads to patrol separately. Each squad is responsible for guarding an area, and each area has a simple beacon made of rubble, which each team has prepared to transmit signals.
On the top of the small dirt slope where Brak was located, there was also such a simple gravel pile, and the bushes, grass stems, and grass roots piled up in the rubble pile were prepared with the help of the Knights of the Holy Sword. Braque accepted these things as Yang Yi asked, but he didn't like these alien humans.
In fact, Brac doesn't like other races other than fishmen, especially those on land.
At this time, for example, Braque noticed several alien humans passing by not far away, and they saw the fish-man appear here and stayed like curious babies to see what the fish-man was doing.
Brak clenched his spear and wanted to rush forward to drive these people away, but before he set off, Yang Yi had specifically told him not to cause trouble, and he resisted the urge when he thought of Yang Yi's words.
The Fishman Lord is Brack's most admired Fishman, which can be seen from his attribute information, and his attitude towards the Fishman Lord is "fanatic".
Brac followed the Fish-Man Lord from the very beginning and watched as the Fish-Man Lord led the Fish-People to establish the Fish-Man Village on a ruined site. At the beginning, there were only a dozen fish-people, and a small fish-man village was built from nothing, and gradually there were more and more fish-man huts in the fish-man village, and various buildings were built one by one. The small Fish-Man Village continued to grow and became the current Fish-Man Town, and even began to expand its power by building the Backwater Fish-Man Village in the Backwater Oasis.
What touched Brak the most was the word "Ratchet", which originally had nothing to do with the Fishmen, but only represented Ratchet Bay and the Goblin Mall Ratchet City, which was built in the bay. But now the word "ratchet" represents the Ratchet Town of the Fish-People and the Ratchet Fish-People, which is the symbol of all the Fish-People who follow the Fish-Man Lord, including themselves.
Just like the white mussel shell and the crossed harpoon flag, although it is only the simplest pattern, it represents identity, represents belonging, and represents the way forward.
In Ratchet Town, under the banner of the Ratchet Fishmen, the Ratchet Tooth people can finally stop starving, as long as they follow the arrangement of the Wormtooth Lord to do things, they can get enough food to fill their stomachs, have a fish-man hut to sleep at night, and can even do many things that they couldn't do before, and think many things that they didn't dare to think about before.
Like Braque himself, he was a naturally strong fish-man, as he knew when he was a little fish-man. So he survived the brutal competition of the sea, and became a fishman beach walker in adulthood.
But as a fish-man, he had to forage for food every day to fill his stomach, and he didn't have much extra time to spend on combat training, so his level of fish-man beach walker remained at the initial level until the village of Ratchet was established.
As long as Brak works hard to train his combat skills every day, he will be served with delicious and sufficient food by special fishmen, and countless female fishmen will automatically come to his door, which makes Braque feel that he is now living in what humans often call paradise.
"Especially the strong female fish-people." Brak thought of the strong female fish-men and couldn't help but stick out the scarlet fishman and lick the dry fish lips with his tongue.
Brac is one of the strongest fish-people in Ratchet Town, and naturally the most favored by female fishmen, but sometimes the female fish-people in Ratchet Town are too enthusiastic, and Braque feels that he can't resist it.
"There have recently been a few naturally strong little fishmen in the town's nursery pond, and the lord has seen them and said that they may be my descendants. The lord said that if you count the time, the seeds I sowed before should be as big as those strong little fishmen. ”
Brak never cared about the affairs of the heirs, every time he went to the sea with the female fish-man to chase him, he just wanted to be happy for a while, and he never thought about what would happen to the fish-man eggs that were fertilized by himself, because the fish-people have always lived like this.
However, Braque is a little different from the other fishmen, who are unrelated and unrelated, but he has at least one brother.
Slark is Brak's brother, but no one actually knows if they were born to the same parents. Brak only knew that when he was still a fish-man fry, he and Slark had already relied on each other for their lives, foraging together, defeating other fish-men who were competing for food, driving away the sea crabs and sea fish that preyed on them together, and growing up to become an adult fish-man together.
Brak doesn't really care about the meaning of the word "brother", he doesn't care if he and Slark are from the same parents, he just knows that whenever there is a problem, he and Slark will work together to face it, and that's enough.
It's nice to have a brother, Braque has always felt that way, but what is it like to have children?
For this reason, Brak has gone to the nursery pond several times to see the few little fishmen who are naturally very strong as the fishman lord said, he does not have the eyes of the fishman lord, and he can't see the attribute information of the little fishmen, so he has no way of knowing whether the expertise of these little fishmen is very similar to his own.
But Brak can see with his eyes that these little fishmen do have their own shadows, and these little fishmen are not only stronger than the other little fishmen, but also a head taller than the other little fishmen, which is very similar to Braque. And the skin of the scales of these little fishmen is mainly blue-purple, which is also the same as Braque, but the color of the scales of the little fishmen is not as pure as that of Braque, and the scales are mixed with a lot of variegation.
The scales of several small fishmen are variegated, including red, yellow, cyan, white, etc., and it seems that if their father is Braque, then their mother is not the same female fishman.
Braque thought about it, and indeed even he had forgotten that he had gone into the sea with a few female fishmen to play and chase, so he couldn't tell who the mother of these little fishmen was.
"If only I could confirm that these little fishmen are my Brack's 'sons' and 'daughters'?" Braque scratched his head, as if both orcs and humans were like this, "But the children of orcs and humans need to be taken care of from an early age, and it will take a lot of time, so won't I have less time to train?" ”
Braque remembered the father-daughter interaction he had seen between Van Cleeff and his daughter Vanessa, and that only one child of human Van Cleeff was already like a baby and wanted to take it with him every day, and if he gave birth to a lot of little fishmen, he would not have to carry them every day in the future.
Braque imagined for a moment that the ground was full of his own little fish-men huddled together, each with their mouths wide open and screaming, one by one waiting for him to be fed, while he himself could only throw the harpoon aside and hurriedly feed the little fish-men.
"That's not going to work." Brak shook his head in fright, thinking that it would be better to be a normal fishman.
Braque put an end to his fantastic fantasies, which he had never thought of before, and when he came back to his senses, he noticed a column of black smoke rising from the distant horizon.
Lack watched intently at the spot where the black smoke was rising, which was within the range of another fish-man patrol team, and the location of the black smoke was also the location of the makeshift beacon over there.
This is the alarm of the centaur team!
"All out! Light the fire now! Braak immediately gave a loud order to the fish-man hiding in the bushes.
