The Naga of the Shining Ocean are famous, and they often raid passing merchant ships on Ampesel's route to Greyhaven and Lubik. However, the Naga fishmen in the deep sea are not united, and are divided into more than a dozen ethnic groups, the most famous of which are the Kotao Fishmen and the Shining Scales Naga, the Koutao Fishmen are not only in the Glittering Ocean, they are all over the Seven Seas of Vaynd, and are the most notorious bandits on the ocean, and compared to the Shining Scales Naga have their own culture, language and traditions, which are more similar to the kingdom.

Most of the peoples of the deep sea live by plundering, and Naga is no exception, dozens of tribes fighting each other, but it is a filth among bandits, and I have never heard of a day when the merchant ships on this route have not suffered because they have fought so hard.

Sailors are not as reverent as the mythical sirens of pirates, and Brando's reminder is a reminder for everyone. "It's strange though, the merfolk rarely come out with Naga to plunder merchant ships." Captain James asked suspiciously, plucked his pipe, patted it and put it into his coat's purse, drew his sword in his right hand, and turned back to order the sailors to erect the shield on the side of the ship.

"Watch out for the javelins!" He added.

In Amber Sword, the merfolk are attached to the Naga and often participate in wars between them, using their magical singing voices to win wars for their allies. To put it bluntly, it's like a bard on the battlefield, but the battlefield here has to be moved from the land to the deep sea. But merfolk are typically benevolent creatures, and they usually refuse to raid human or dwarven merchant ships with the Naga Qiē, but it's not surprising that one or two outliers are present in a large group.

At this time, the creatures of the sea surfaced, these creatures looked similar to humans, except that the skin was blue, and the shoulders, arms, and back were covered with erect scale fins, from the lower part of the cheeks and neck to the gills before Xiong, they also had nasal cavities, which could not only breathe with their lungs, but also filter the air with their gills, but for Naga, the air on land was too dry, and they were very unaccustomed to living off the water.

Naga has no hair, and a beautiful bundle of sky-blue nerve bundles takes the place of the hair, which is a little weird at first glance, but it will feel beautiful when you get used to it. The Naga that surfaced was mostly male, the male Naga had two pairs of arms, no obvious mammalian organs, an angular face, and a special non-soaking dye that covered the face with war streaks, and knotted muscles, making him look like a fierce human male.

However, Brando knew that it was because their lower bodies were hidden underwater, and legend has it that Naga was a descendant of the Celestial Serpent, a half-human, half-snake monster. The men of the Naga have one less pair of arms than the women, because the gods of the mythical Naga want to make women more dexterous than men, and men only need to go into battle, so they need to be more strong.

However, these are myths and legends, and both the real-life Naga and the Fish-Man are good at throwing spears, with the male Naga having two pairs of arms, one holding their trident and the other wielding a short sword and shield. The Naga know how to use submarine volcanoes to smelt and forge weapons, and they also have special methods to protect their weapons underwater, so they are not much inferior to humans on land in terms of combat equipment. However, the biggest difference between the Naga clan's weapons and armor and that of humans is the shuttle-shaped shield, which is a specialty of the Naga clan in order to reduce resistance underwater.

Seeing that the mermaid's seductive singing voice did not work, as soon as the Nagars surfaced, they used the most common tactic, throwing their spears at the deck of the Far Land as if it were raining, but unfortunately Captain James was very experienced, and had already ordered someone to erect a shield - the ship shield was actually a common double-layer tower shield on the battlefield of Vaynd, which was usually hung upside down on the side of the ship, and when needed to be straightened with a rope - the steel spear fluttered like raindrops on the thick shield, but it was to no avail, The ship's shields were designed to deal with the common bandits of the sea, and the Far Ground was a large ship that was even more well prepared, and the spears of the Naga were either embedded in the shields or slipped feebly into the water.

After a while, Grey Sword Saint Mephistopheles, Charles, Andreg, Akane, Mordface, Ropar, and Princess Silver Elves also came to the deck, and James was finally relieved to see these people. Although he didn't know all the strength of the young lord around him, he also knew that at least Métisa and Charles had the strength of the Golden Rank among these people, and there were two masters of the Golden Rank strength, even the flagship of one of the fleets of Eruin.

"What's going on?" As soon as Mephistopheles stepped out of the cabin, he saw those monsters on the sea, and asked calmly, Captain James didn't know that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man was the biggest B in Brando's trip, but just this calm kung fu was enough to make him look twice.

The Gray Sword Saint's composure is not without reason, after all, this is still the beginning of the Year of the Sword, unlike the robbery of a robber on the road after the Slate War, which may have civilized the elements. At this time, not to mention in Eruin, even when Mephistopheles' principality was still subordinate to Cruz, he was also a high-ranking master in the empire. With a little care, it would be almost impossible to find the entire Vagond Existence that would have killed them.

And a few Naga, even more.

"It's Naga," replied Brando, who pressed his sword in his hand and didn't strike immediately. He looked at the Naga warriors on the sea, and felt a little familiar—although the Naga all looked similar to humans, there were still differences between the different tribes, such as the shining scales, which got their name because of their colorful scales. The tribe that Brando saw at the moment was a bit like the Grey Fin Naga, and when he saw the other party's slightly white scale fins, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking to himself that it wasn't such a coincidence, right?

"This is Naga?" The Grey Screw had heard of a monster like Naga. But he was born in the interior of the Empire, and has fought against the Empire all his life, never sailing on a boat, and has only heard of a monster like Naga. He looked at these monsters, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, turned around and said, "How can you run into trouble wherever you go?" ”

"I ......" Brando never dreamed that this serious guy would complain seriously, but only he would have such leisure at such a time. It's just that he didn't expect Otares to nod in agreement, "I think this guy is right, you can really get into trouble wherever you go." ”

"Martha, I'm innocent too, okay!" Brando's heart was silent, he used to be in the Amber Sword when he asked for a plot quest but couldn't, but after crossing into this world, it was really terrifying, and inexplicable things came to him one after another.

But Ottales is just joking, it's common to encounter pirates at sea. Not only pirates, but also robbers and bandits on land, the lords' management of their own territory is actually mostly limited to the core of the area, leaving the area of prosperous economic exchanges, the more remote it is, the more chaotic the law and order, in the open sea, which no one can control, it is a paradise for illegal forces.

At this time, the sailors began to fight back, and most of the ships sailing on this route were armed merchant ships, and there would be no shortage of weapons on board. The sailors responded with bows and crossbows, but their counterattacks were really inaccurate, not so much to destroy the opponent as to force the opponent away. On the contrary, in the chaos, James's sailors suffered a lot of losses, several spears shot through the gaps in the shields into the crowd, wounding several people, and two unlucky eggs were nailed to the deck, and the second mate of the ship's part-time doctor looked at it and said that he could not live.

However, Brando took out a few bottles of the lowest level of holy water from the dimensional cave and asked Medisa to pass it over. The amount of holy water of this level in the dimensional cave that he got from Amman was amazing, not to mention that the low-level holy water was not of much use to him, just to buy favors, Brando knew that dealing with these merchants of Ampesel was very beneficial to his future development, not to mention that James himself had a deep background.

Holy water is the most effective medicine in the world, and its greatest effect is to stop bleeding and repair body damage, and the external injuries in war are basically these two types. As long as you don't lose too much blood and die, the holy water can play the role of the living and the dead. However, this thing is really uncommon, and the temple can only be supplied to the most elite troops during the holy war.

As soon as the two sailors who were destined to die poured the holy water, the terrible wounds immediately healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. At that moment, not to mention the second mate who was responsible for healing the wounds, even James was stunned, although the sailors under him were not very important, who did not pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers to look down on life and death, but it was not a miracle that they could drag the dead people back from the hands of death.

Captain James was of noble birth and well-informed, and immediately realized what the potion given by Brando was. He was astonished not by Brando's ability, but by Brando's generosity, and that such a thing as holy water was used casually on a sailor whom he did not know, if not too merciful, or broad.

Seeing this scene, James hesitated for a moment, and for the first time began to consider whether to deepen his relationship with the emerging power of Fir Collar as a nobleman and a merchant. He glanced at Brando, thinking that maybe it was true, as the rumors said, that the other party was from a large family with a deep background, but why did the other party appear in Tonigel to oppose Count Jean Denel?

With the sensitivity of the aristocracy, he immediately thought of the civil war in the north, the royal party? Or the princess's sirry knight? Could it be that the Highland Knights of Karasu have begun to switch to the princess's faction? Several thoughts flashed through the young captain's mind like lightning for a moment.

Compared to the complicated mind of the captain, the two sailors who were rescued from the hands of death were left with gratitude to Dade. These sailors were actually only from poor families, and if they were not desperate, who would have become seafarers? Sailing in this era was a very risky thing, and the mortality rate of sailors was quite high, and according to Brando's understanding, it was slightly better than the other historical Age of Discovery in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and he saved the two sailors, which was basically equivalent to saving the lives of each other's family, but even so, Brando still did not accept the request of the two sailors to kiss his boots to express his gratitude.

As a modern person, this is really awkward for him.

However, this fell into the eyes of others, but it only set off the young lord's broadness, Brando did not know that his subconscious actions had won a high reputation among the sailors, because at this time, the future non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Legion had taken out a batch of heavy crossbows from under the cabin, these crossbows were not ordinary four-armed crossbows, after all, for the warriors of the black iron rank, the four-armed crossbow could no longer meet the requirements, Brando ordered Master Berlu to create a batch of crossbows that were enchanted to enhance their strength for the cadets of the White Lion Legion, and these weapons were incredibly expensive, each of which was almost equal to the weight of gold, but fortunately, Brando only needed fifty of them.

Brando's future White Lion infantry intended to use the magic guide bow instead of the magic bow, which required a miniaturized magic channeling device, which Antitina excelled at, and although the technology was complex, the price was several times cheaper. Of course, that was a distant dream, and until then, the White Lion infantry could only be filled with ordinary tabula rasa bows, and Brando didn't have the money enough to prepare a magic bow for each soldier, not to mention that he thought that if he did, little Roman would definitely make a big deal out of him.

As soon as the non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Legion joined the battle, the shape on the battlefield immediately changed. In this world, and indeed in the whole of Eruin, there is probably no lord who has invested so much money in the training of soldiers as Brando, who has come from modern times, understands that the army is raised, and in the training program he has formulated, the actual combat training of soldiers and non-commissioned officers is strictly required to account for the proportion of daily training - for this reason Berlu and Antitina have complained more than once that the territory spends unimaginably much money on this - replenishing arrows, repairing weapons and broken armor, This expenditure is dozens or even more than that of the other lords of Eruin.

In this regard, the master from the court was all angry that if this money was saved to buy an army for the princess, at least he could recruit an army of the same size as Brando's men. But Brando's insistence on doing so has finally paid off today.

The non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Legion are like seasoned soldiers who have been on the battlefield countless times, and even the only defect that has not seen blood has been made up for in the Wolf Tide, and even the most elite knights in Eruin are ashamed to see it. Although they may be more experienced in battle formations, they are far inferior to well-trained and tacit cooperation.

The arrows of the non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Legion are as accurate as having eyes, which are all accumulated by countless shooting trainings, and each of them is estimated to have tens of thousands of tors just by converting bad arrows into gold coins. But these gold coins have now been recovered from Naga, Captain James could not believe his eyes, the non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Legion killed one stone, and more than a dozen Naga soldiers were shot dead and sank from the sea in just a few breaths.

The same is true of sharpshooters in the navy.

Naga on the other side also felt a lot of pressure, they never dreamed that a merchant ship would have such firepower, which clearly showed that it was a warship, and even the kingdom's third-level capital ships did not have this firepower density. The only difference was that there were no guns or ballistas on this merchant ship, otherwise they would have thought they had hit a legitimate warship of the kingdom.

The two sides exchanged hands for a while, and only one non-commissioned officer on the White Lion Legion side was the only casualty on Brando's side in this battle because he broke his crossbow while twisting the string, and more than a dozen corpses had been left on Naga's side. The Naga warriors at sea had gone from shock to fear, and with a scream, they turned around and retreated.

"This is retreating?"

Both the captain and Brando were stunned, they had the impression that the Naga were extremely brave and good at fighting, and that they would continue to fight even if they were frustrated for a short time, and that they had never seen an attack blocked, and they would immediately turn around and run. Is this still Naga? This can't be a fish-man disguise, right? Brando and James both looked at each other a little for a while.

Generally speaking, only two races, humans and dwarves, are keen on commercial trade, and the most common merchant ships at sea are also the merchant ships of these two races. ro！。 @ws
