Chapter 221: The Ten Priests
It didn't take long for the war to begin.
And just as Qin Huang said, when the tide hits, the center of gravity of the battle appears in the ice floe area.
This is the first time that the mages and the world have seen the true face of the tide, the endless stream of fishmen, fierce sharks, and octopuses dancing with huge tentacles, the complexity of the tide team is beyond everyone's imagination.
Most of these creatures come in chaos and without formation, their intelligence is limited, but they are not afraid of life and death. However, once this kind of creature that is usually not taken into the eyes of the mages at all, once it is in groups, the strength of the explosion is beyond imagination.
All kinds of spell brilliance spilled from the sky, and with the support of the battleship, the mages did not skimp on their mana. However, despite their full force, the number of enemies did not necessarily decrease in the slightest.
The ocean is a treasure trove of life far beyond the land, and there are so many creatures that can drive it.
Over time, the defenses of the ice floe area opened further and further, and the icy sea was filled with fish carcasses, and although the mages won an overwhelming battle advantage, they could not contain the pace of the tide.
"Your Excellency Qin Huang, do you think these sea clans don't look like pets driven by people?"
Morpheus looked thoughtfully at the one-sided battle below, "You see they didn't eat the corpses. ”
Qin Huang was slightly stunned, his mind quickly thought about it, and as soon as Morpheus mentioned it, he quickly understood the metaphor in his words. At this time, the fish creatures that came up did not have complete intelligence, and according to the instinct of the creatures, they should appear to compete for the dead fish.
However, not to mention the fight for food, this sea is almost red with blood. But none of the carnivorous fish stopped. These fish are only interested in rushing forward, and this idea is so powerful that they do not care about life and death, hunger and thirst, and it is clearly not right.
The only answer is that there are now people manipulating them behind their backs, just as humans drive sheepdogs and horses, and these fish are consumed as fighting pets.
"Lord Lord, mean you want to kill the merfolk who control them?" Qin Huang asked, he knew that it was the mermaid clan that set off the tide, this is the most intelligent and powerful species in the underwater world, and they are good at charm and control, no matter how you think about it, they are controlling it behind the scenes.
"No, I think it's better for us to catch some high-level mermaids alive." Morpheus nodded, "If only I could know how they control the fish." That will help with the present and future battles. ”
A profound mage. When encountering events, it is inevitable to think with a 'mage' mindset. Morpheus is a professional mage, and when he found a problem, he first thought of cracking it, catching the other party to force out a way to control the fish, and then using magic to imitate and crack it.
“……”
However, Qin Huang pondered for a moment. But he smiled wryly and shook his head: "You can try." But there is little hope. ”
Magic is known as omnipotent. However, it is not mature enough to change everything, and the Bloodlines are an example. The study of races and their respective characteristics has always been full of mysteries, and Qin Huang knows that mermaids are naturally capable of controlling many fish. This innate talent is hard for mages to crack.
But everything needs to be tested, and it doesn't hurt. Unfortunately, their plans were destined to fail, and there was no mermaid to be found behind the influx of enemies.
In the depths of the vast sea, a song came from the giant foam-covered mermaid capital—a song that sounded like a young girl crying, but it made the fish on the outskirts of the city fight restlessly.
"The six priests are so powerful, and singing such a sad song is full of morale." A playful fish-tailed girl looks out into the center of the city, a shell-shaped amphitheater from which the singing comes from.
"What's so powerful about this, the new Ten Priests are powerful!" Her companion, another mermaid maiden, said, "The six priests are much worse than the ten. ”
"Ten priests?"
The mermaid who was the first to speak showed a displeased expression: "Is that the guy who can't even compare to humans?" How could she compare to the six priests! ”
"That guy just knows a little more songs than we do, and he's lucky to be favored by the Queen."
As she spoke, the mermaid looked jealous. The merfolk are ruled by a queen and her ten priests, and since ancient times there has been a custom of determining the priesthood by singing, and the adult mermaids have different powers in their songs, such as the power of the six priests to boost morale, but now the ten priests are elected to sing without any amazing power.
This has led to the reluctance of many mermaids.
However, the mermaid girl who spoke for the Ten Priests obviously knew something inside, and she laughed: "Don't underestimate the Ten Priests, the force that melted the iceberg this time was formed by her and Her Majesty the Queen, do you see any characteristics of that team?" ”
Peculiarity?
The first girl recalled in astonishment, and when she said this, she really found something abnormal: "There is no one to command that team?" ”
As a prelude to the attack on land, the team that went to dissolve the iceberg did not have a priest to lead, which made the other mermaids full of doubts.
"Yes, there is no one to command, and no one needs to command." Another girl pinched her companion's nose and said with a smile: "This is the power of the six priests, she can manipulate the troops from a distance, and the queen has taken a fancy to her the most!" ”
"Huh? She's so powerful? The girl who was pinched her nose forgot the pain for a while, but a wave of doubt flashed in her heart—why would such a powerful priest lose to a human?
But then again, human singing is completely different from the singing of mermaids, no matter how well they sing, they can't turn into power, but mermaids really convert singing into power.
Mermaids have lived by singing for generations, and from protecting themselves, to building nations, to enslaving other lives, singing has become their weapon. This weapon now exists for the sake of war.
Many mermaids want to test their singing with war, a tradition they love, and the priests are the best of them, but the new Ten Priests are an unexpected figure.
The mermaid, who had spent a brief time with Xia Han, hated war, and she never imagined that she would one day become the leader of the war, but she got involved and was elected the youngest priest with her singing.
She knows very well that this war initiated by the sea god is unavoidable, and only by being in a high position can she have a chance to seize peace. She didn't have the slightest interest in the mainland, she just wanted to sing, and if only she could meet that kid again in this war, he would definitely make the people around her understand the charm of the song itself.
