Chapter 255: Lightning Raid
Not far from the port of Theramore, an old lighthouse stands on a small island. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The lighthouse has been abandoned for a long time, and for a long time it was left untouched on a small island.
Today, the island where the lighthouse is located is suddenly very lively.
Plenty of fish-people, pioneers and Aboriginal humans crowded the island's sandy beaches.
This is the most glorious moment of this old lighthouse in recent years, and it is also its last moment.
The Fish-Man planted a large amount of gunpowder around the lighthouse island, which was detonated when all the Fish-Man and Humans crowded onto the island.
The gunpowder exploded in succession, and the roar of continuous explosions resounded in the sky.
The resting or busy people in the city of Seramo clearly heard the continuous rumbling, and they looked out the window in amazement, and walked out of the door to the sea and the pier.
"Dear Sergeant Emilin, what happened? I just heard a series of explosions. A fisherman on the dock of Theramore cautiously asked an officer.
"Nothing, presumably a Navy ship is testing artillery." Sergeant Emilin was absent-minded and replied casually.
The fisherman did not dare to ask any more questions, and walked away, apparently not believing the naval officer's words.
Sergeant Emilin stood on the pier and looked out at the lighthouse island in the distance, his heart full of unease.
When the weather is fine and the realization is good, standing on the pier of Theramore, you can vaguely see the lighthouse outside the harbor.
Sergeant Emilin looked in the direction of the lighthouse, and a cloud of black smoke had risen high into the sky, but there was no shadow of the lighthouse on the sea beneath the black smoke.
"Something's wrong! Major Mills sailed with the boat to the island of the lighthouse, where an explosion had just occurred. ”
Sergeant Emilin hurried back to the city of Theramore, and he was to report the momentous news to Gianna Proudmoor, the leader of Theramore.
……
Yang Yi was also very surprised when he saw the fire on the island and the explosions everywhere.
He wasn't surprised that the Thief's Eye had blown up the lighthouse, but that the explosion had killed many of the members of the Dream Guild along with the soldiers of Theramore.
"This thief's eye, could it be that her original goal was not just to blow up the lighthouse, but to know that the soldiers of the Rumeng Guild and Theramore would be lured to the island from the beginning, so she had planned to blow them up with gunpowder."
The more Yang Yi thought about it, the more she felt that the thief's eye was premeditated, otherwise she would not have let the fish-man ambushers ambush under the sea around the island, and she would not have arranged the gunpowder on the entire island from the beginning.
"A resourceful fishman, this thief is unbelievable." Yang Yi became more and more surprised.
"Boss, there are quite a few blacktip fish people swimming towards us." Morumus reminded Yang Yi.
Yang Yi came back to his senses and took a look, the violent explosion of gunpowder blew up all the fish people and humans on the island, and those fish people who were originally in the water were not affected too much, but they were all frightened by the explosion.
The blacktip fishmen were terrified of trying to flee the island, too frightened to even turn back and kill the struggling humans.
Among them, a few fishmen panicked and came in the direction of Yang Yi and them.
It seems that the thief's eye did not tell his fishmen about blowing up the island with gunpowder in advance, which is why these blacktip fish are so panicked at this time.
"If these blacktip people come near us, they'll be caught alive. Look carefully and see if there are any thieves' eyes in the blacktip people who are fleeing in all directions. Yang Yi said.
Yang Yi believed that all this was premeditated by the thief's eyes, so she must have hid in the water before the explosion, and she was likely to be mixed with the fleeing fishmen at this time.
Yang Yi's guess was right, Mo Momus looked around the sea, and he had the expertise of "reconnaissance (A)" and found the thief's eye.
"Boss, the thief's eye is in the middle of that group of fishmen." Morumus shouted with his fingers.
Yang Yi looked in the direction that Mo Momus pointed, and there was a group of about a dozen fishmen over there, and the thief's eyes were hiding in the middle of the fish crowd.
"Keep staring and see which island the thief ends up on." Yang Yi said.
Yang Yi watched the thief's eye swim in a small group of fishmen, and felt that it was a pity, if Brak was here with the battle fishmen of Ratchet Town at this time, as long as he killed it, he would be able to intercept the thief's eye.
There was no way, Yang Yi could only stare dryly, waiting for Braque to arrive with the fishman.
……
Finally, in the middle of a starry night, Ratchet 2 cleaved the waves and made their way to the Shores of Dread, and Brac and his family came in a boat.
"Brak, feed the battle fishmen, and we'll have action right away."
"Yes, my lord."
Without further ado, Yang Yi didn't say much to Brak, he was going to take advantage of the dark night to raid the island where the thief's eye was.
The explosion of the lighthouse island not only caused heavy losses to humans, but also greatly reduced the strength of the blacktip fishmen, and now is a good time to raid.
Yang Yi and Brac took fifty fish-people and a group of lobster-man slaves, and they quietly approached an island of blacktip fishmen.
This island is where the gunpowder was stored before the thief's eye, and Yang Yi clearly knew the location of the fishman hut on the island, so he chose a place closest to the thief's residence to land.
There are a large number of blacktip fishmen on the island, and as soon as the fishmen in Ratchet Town come ashore, they are likely to be spotted immediately, and the fishmen in Ratchet Town are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, so they need to be dealt with quickly.
The operation will be a blitzkrieg of a quick raid.
Yang Yi called Brak to his side and said to him again, "Remember, our target is the Thief Eye, the patriarch of the Blacktip Fish People. Once you bring the fish-man ashore, you rush straight to the Thief's Eye's quarters, leaving nothing else at risk. ”
"It's better to catch the thief's eye alive." Yang Yi added.
"Yes, lord!" Braque replied.
Without too many tricks, Brac landed on the island with the fish-man from the sea.
There is only one goal, and the lobster-man slaves are driven by the fish-people to rush to the front of the team.
These are the strongest lobster-man slaves in Ratchet Town, and they rush straight to the Thief's dwelling, and along the way, whether it is the blacktip fishmen, dead wood and gravel, or fish-man huts in the way, they are all swatted away by the lobstermen with huge shrimp claws, and hit and overturned with their thick shrimp-shelled bodies.
The huge destructive power of the lobster man slaves broke the tranquility of the island in an instant, and the blacktip fish people who patrolled at night were shocked to see a group of lobster people running up to the island, and hurriedly shouted and raised the alarm.
The sleeping blacktip people were awakened by the noise, and they found that an enemy had come to the island, and they all began to panic in search of suitable weapons.
Fifty Fish-Man Tidewalkers followed behind the Lobster-Man slaves, and all the Blacktip Fish-Men who appeared in front of the Lobster-Man slaves were easily dealt with by the Lobster-Men.
The blacktip fishmen who appeared on both sides fell to the ground in a rain of short spears thrown by the fish-people tidewalkers, turning into rolling gourds.
Occasionally, the Blacktip Fishman was lucky enough to break through the projection of a dense short spear, and when he tried to get close to the Fishman Tidewalker, he was immediately caught by the wave crab crawling on the ground, and could no longer move forward half a step.
The little fishmen of Pemberba, Morumus, and the Gollum Sisters were not idle, and they were holding a small torch in one hand and constantly pulling out crystal bottles from their waist bags with the other.
The crystal bottle contains a brown alchemy potion, which is the [Flame Oil].
The torch ignited the flame oil at the mouth of the crystal bottle, and after the crystal bottle was thrown, it fell to the ground and shattered, and the flame oil inside splashed to the ground, and the flames spread instantly.
The scorching flame has always been an existence that frightens the fish-people and makes them dare not approach.
Especially those blacktip fish people who survived the explosion of the lighthouse island before, at this time, they saw the fire rising into the sky again, and they all ran in horror with their heads in shock, for fear that the island under their feet would explode again.
Thief's Eye sleeps tonight in a cave where gunpowder is kept, and a cave with strong walls gives her more security than a fish-man hut that is ventilated on all sides.
As a fish-man, Thief Eye has always been suspicious, and she likes to hide herself insecurely, rather than swaggering and standing in the most prominent place every time like the patriarchs of other fish-man clans to show her unique identity.
The Thief Eye was also on her toes as she slept, and as soon as the Lobster-Man slave rushed to the island, she was awakened by the call of the Night Watchman.
Thief Eye quickly got up and ran out of the cave.
The thief's reaction was fast enough, but when she first came to the entrance of the cave, she found that the lobster man had appeared a hundred meters ahead, and she was already surrounded.
The Lobster Man slave is on a rampage, but not invincible.
At a narrow junction leading to the Thief's Eye's quarters, they are blocked by a group of fishmen.
This group of fishmen was unusually tall, and their height was a full half that of the average adult fish-man, making them giants of the fish-people.
Yang Yi was sure that he had never seen such a tall fishman.
After the Lobster Man is blocked, the Blacktip Fishman Ambush sneaks up and begins to fight the Fishman Tidewalker in Ratchet Town, the Lobster Man slave.
Usually suspicious and insecure, the Thief's Eye chooses to live on a steep cliff or a high slope that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The same is true for the dwellings on this island, where the fish-people of Ratchet Town have only one way to attack the cave.
With this terrain, the Blacktip Men were able to defend themselves against the raid on Ratchet Town by relying on a hastily organized defensive front, but this also caused unexpected trouble for Thief Eye.
Thief Eye didn't expect the fishmen of Ratchet Town to raid at night, let alone the speed at which they would advance after landing on the island.
With no way out, she is trapped.
Fortunately, there are not many lobsters and fishmen who come to raid, so as long as you hold the narrow junction uphill and wait until the blacktip fishmen on the island have recovered from the panic of being attacked and reorganized into battle, you don't have to be afraid of them.
Moreover, the blacktip people on the nearby islands should have received the signal and will come to the rescue soon.
……
A team of tall fishmen suddenly appeared, disrupting Yang Yi's plan for a quick victory. The lobster-man slaves and the battle fish-man were blocked, and Yang Yi began to get anxious.
The originally envisaged blitzkrieg will turn into a tug-of-war if it continues like this, which is not what Yang Yi wants to see.
This is the old nest of the Blacktip Fishmen, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Fishmen of Ratchet Town.
What to do?
Yang Yi looked at the team that could no longer move forward half a step after being blocked in front, and then looked at the more and more blacktip fish people gathered around him, he was even more anxious.
