Chapter 145: Attack on the Fishmen (2)
PS: Under revision
Not to mention Barrett, who knows this well, even the players who are following him can see that the situation is not good. , seems to sense the change of the players' feelings, leading the way in the front Waynes. Kent also felt a dull look on his face.
Good thing Waynes. Kent himself was not a member of the Cruze Kingdom. Otherwise, in this case, it is really a little impossible to raise your head. However, there was a rare trace of regret in his heart, and the garrison of Sigma Town made him feel like he was pushing people into the fire pit. However, since it was a task assigned by the church, he had to continue to carry it out.
Although they were outside, the atmosphere between the two sides still seemed solemn and eerie. Barrett, who was afraid that the two sides would be estranged, looked left and right, but his head was always looking for a suitable conversation.
Just when the small building of the two-story town office appeared in the eyes of everyone. Barrett suddenly grabbed something out of his mind: "Has Mr. Kent ever heard such a rumor...... There are some mutants among the Sawa Fishmen, and they are born with a very similar appearance to sea elves......"
"Mutants? Do you suspect that the sea elf we rescued before was actually a Sawa Fishman? "Waynes. Kent was stunned for a moment. Then he asked in bewilderment: "Isn't it easy to be discriminated against by the outliers of that ethnic group?" It should be difficult to live to adulthood! β
"If it's any other race, it's certainly the possibility you said, Mr. Kent. However, the Fishman believes in beneficial mutations, and if a mutant is born, it is likely to rank among the nobility and even the ruling class. Barrett deliberately gave a common example, as if to prove it: "It is said that the most common mutation among them is a four-armed fish-man with a pair of arms." It's a pity that I didn't meet the fish-man in a few battles before! β
Waynes. Kent asked rhetorically with some disbelief: "The four-armed fish-man is a mutation that enhances combat ability. But what's the use of looking like a sea elf? In this way, the Shahua fish people who pay attention to the law of the jungle can also become nobles? Could it be that by virtue of their physiognomy and physiognomy that is closer to the mainstream aesthetic? β
Barrett knew that the other party did not want to doubt the victims he had previously saved. But at this time, there is no time to pay attention to "truth, goodness and beauty": "Legend has it that there is a kind of Sawa Fishman who does not look like a shark but like a water spiritβthey are scarcely known as Maranti. These outliers have different appearances. But they uphold the bloodthirsty and cruel nature of their kind. It is documented that Maranti was often used as a spy or assassin for the rulers of the Sawa Fishmen. There are even rumors that some isolated tribes composed entirely of Maranti also exist in the depths of the sea.
"I think all the members of the Sect in the Sanjiangliu Temple should remember to identify each other's true identities through the GuΓ² Divine Technique!" Waynes who said this. Kent, the words were a little uncertain. And the players on the side also looked at Barrett and Waynes strangely at this time. Kent glanced back and forth.
At this time, Barrett kindly reminded: "Mr. Kent, you should try your best to find a way to contact the Sanjiangliu Temple!" Although the Sawa Fishmen are ferocious, their IQ is not low. There are even wisers among the tribe. After all, there is a limit to the magic of recognizing lies, and the other party may not be able to find ways to bypass it. β
"When I'm done arranging for you here, I'll go to the temple in Sigmar Town. I hope that there will be no mistakes in the previous examination work of the parishioners. "Waynes. Kent knew the problem at hand was important. If it is not done well, it may even lead to a major hole in the defense work along the Gros River.
At the same time, he was glad that the church had not taken all the information provided by the victim in the first place. Otherwise, if there is something wrong with the victim. That's a mistake and a loss.
Barrett scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "I have to take a little responsibility for this issue." Obviously, I had heard rumors about this before, but I didn't remember it in time at the time. β
"People are not machines, how can they think of anything they want. Moreover, the knowledge is very remote, and it is not easy to be noticed. "Waynes. Kent then unraveled Barrett. But his worried expression could hardly bring the slightest comfort.
Before they had even approached the town hall, they heard someone in the direction ask, "Is Mr. Kent ahead?" β
The crowd followed the prestige and saw the two-story brick and wood building in front of them. A teenager who looked like a half-grown child waved in his direction.
"May I ask who you are?" Waynes. Kent apparently didn't know the boy in front of him.
"Mr. Kent, you're wondering why I knew you!" The boy smiled and said, "Didn't you already inform the mayor of your trip before?" In the past few days, my lord has arranged for me to wait here for your arrival. You must know that the Sun Paladin, who leads a large adventurer, is not common in our country. β
Seeing the young man in front of him deliberately flirting, Barrett couldn't help but feel tired in his heart: "It's not just that it's not common in your place. This is not the case anywhere on the continent. β
"I didn't expect Mayor Barnion to think so highly of us!" Claudia standing in the middle of the line. Auditore couldn't help but cry out.
Although the young man in front of him is quite excited, he has not had much wind and rain, and he does not have a cheeky skin that is invulnerable. Heard Claudia. After Auditore's words. Immediately, his face became a little hot.
Because the standing army in the territory is insufficient, even the lords have a group of elite personal guards. But the Cruze Kingdom is the protagonist of the battlefield battle. Or mercenary groups from various independent cities.
Therefore, in the Kingdom of Cruze, the status of mercenaries and even adventurers is slightly higher than that of ordinary cities. The reception from the government also appeared to be more welcoming than in other countries.
Of course, this situation is obviously not good to say! It's no wonder that the young man in front of him is panicking.
It seems that the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Cruze are not unaware of the problem! Why is it that it has never been changed with actions! Barrett added another question to his mind.
Waynes. Kent obviously couldn't bear the young man in front of him to continue to be embarrassed, and immediately woke up the other party: "Okay! Since you're sent by Mayor Barnion to meet us. So what is the arrangement of Mr. Mayor? β
"If the mayor asks me to see you, I'll lead you to his office at once." As he spoke, the young man in front of him turned and led the way. It's just the unnatural flush of his face. But it still hasn't been eliminated.
Step into the small building with a creeper hanging on it. Go up the spiral staircase around the walnut handrail. Waynes. Kent and Barrett soon entered an elegantly decorated room. The layout here is really different from the buildings outside.
When the protagonists of the day had all entered the house, the young man who led the way walked out of the house with a sense of humor, and at the same time closed them firmly.
Although a small place like Sigma Town should not have any shocking secrets. However, during this period of time, there were additional posts and the transfer of troops and horses, which also made this young man who had never seen much of the world feel a little uneasy.
Having heard many heroic stories in the tavern, he easily brought himself into something that was killed by someone because he knew something he shouldn't have known - who made him who he is now!
As soon as they met, Mayor Barnion said straight to the point, "Thank you very much, Mr. Kent, for bringing you to Sigmar Town. In the next few days, the safety of the town will probably depend on you. β
The other party said it so bluntly. It caught players off guard. Fortunately, Barrett was not as frightened as Rielie and the others: "The safety of the town is entrusted to us, please?" You're not kidding, Mr. Mayor! There are only 6 of us, and Sigma Town is not a small area. Even if we use one of us as two, we can't keep it! And don't you have a lot of guards? β
"It's not nice to mention, but what those ruffians look like, I think you already know something about it on the road." Mayor Barnion didn't mean anything about his family's ugliness to be publicized. Apparently used to this kind of thing.
Waynes. At this time, Kent directly pointed out the question that everyone was most concerned about: "Then when will Lord Sandy Lands be able to organize enough troops." β
"If there are no surprises, it will be 5-6 days at most. The Earl's manpower should be able to arrive. Mayor Barnion looked at the players and said, "So spend as many days as you can in the Tika Inn." That young man named Eagle is your liaison. β
"We'll do our best." Immediately, Barrett's voice changed: "But the ugly thing is ahead, if the fish-man is unstoppable, we can only escort you and the people you choose to the inland at most." β
"If you really can't resist, you will naturally do what you say. In fact, the Earl had written a few days earlier. I've been given that right to step back. Mayor Barnion, who knew that the players were not meant to be perfunctory, nodded. It was a relief, and it was confusing for many players.
However, Barrett, who heard this, did not have time to pay attention to the change in Mayor Barnion's expression. His heart suddenly chuckled: "Even the lord was ready to give up in advance. It seems that the military equipment in Sigma Town is so tired that no one can look at it......
Barrett naturally couldn't tell what he was thinking, and he quickly said: "Then ask Mr. Mayor to prepare early!" In particular, the notification of certain important personnel. If it's okay, everyone is happy, but if something happens, the damage can be minimized. β
"Don't worry! I'm more experienced in this area than you think. Speaking of this, Mayor Barnion stretched out his hand to send the guests off, "Then please go and rest quickly!" Bad spirits can affect the ...... of work"
As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the town hall, Barrett turned and asked, "Mr. Kent!" Listen to the mayor of Barnion. You seem to have given up on your original mission to stay in Sigma with us, right? β
"Nope! I didn't give up on my original mission. It's just that the task has been put on hold for the time being. After all, there is a greater need for manpower here. When the matter is over, are you still afraid that I will not be able to find the ship to the north? "Speaking of which Waynes. Kent suddenly winked at Barrett, "Three days at most, I'll get up to the Tika Hotel to find you." Previous question. That's when the answer will be. β
Say it's three days. But early the next morning. Waynes. Kent hurriedly knocked on the door of the Tika Hotel: "Barrett! Barrett, you hurry up. β
Waynes. The chubby innkeeper behind Kent is a tangle on his face! Previously, it was hindered by Waynes. Kent's status as a Sun Paladin, he brought him up before the door opened. I didn't expect the movement of the law to be so big, and those customers had to scold themselves to death.
But before Barrett could respond, the tenants of the surrounding rooms cursed. Most of the people who stayed in the hotel were business trippers who traveled from south to north. Under the excitement of the crowd, everything came out. What's even more rare is that these guys have a lot of knowledge, and they don't even have the same thing when they scold people.
Barrett, who opened the door, immediately reached out and looked at Waynes. Kent pulled him into the room, and then quickly closed the door. He glared at the paladin angrily, "Is it necessary for you to disturb people's dreams so early?" There's nothing to say later! β
"The fire is already burning to the butt. How can I still sleep! "Waynes. Kent said resentfully.
Seeing the other party like this, Barrett naturally sobered up a lot: "The sea elf before must have a problem!" β
"The sea elf himself is fine, it's indeed a sea elf. However, her memories were clearly altered. "Speaking of which, Waynes. Kent was a little ashamed, "If it weren't for the fact that a certain priest carefully chose to hold the ceremony last night, with the help of my lord's power. Just those people in Sanjiang Liucheng couldn't find out about this at all. β
"Did you get a bad situation from the other person?" Barrett developed deep wrinkles on his forehead.
"Nope! In addition to the memory of being captured by the Sawa Fishman before, the other party has a memory. I don't know what the rest is. "Speaking of which Waynes. Kent's face became even more ugly, "According to the Church think tank, this situation is far worse than what you get out of her mouth." Memory weaving is a spell of the Nine Rings, and behind the scam that pays such a big price, it is indeed a little chilling. β
"It looks like those fish-people are not small!" Naturally, it is impossible for Barrett to tell his speculation directly to the current Waynes. Kent. And even if you sue sΓΉ, it's unknown what the other party will understand under the shield of the system!
But on the other hand, Barrett doesn't think that there will be no gap between the high gods and mansions in such a big thing as the diversion of ocean currents. Even the church hierarchy should know what happened, but Waynes. Kent's status is too low now. I just don't have access to that secret for the time being.
Waynes. Kent sighed, "Now the churches with temples along the Tergros River are in full operation. It's just that I don't know if it's too late! β
"If those fish-men are really making a big move, it's not just a problem along the Tergros River! Some time ago there were fish-man activities in coastal ports. I don't think it's safe! Barrett had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he blurted it out directly.
Waynes. Kent was stunned for a moment, and then prepared to rush out: "Damn! This immediately went to the temple to warn. β
"Wait a minute! You don't think I'm the only smart person in this world! What I can imagine, can't the churches think of? Barrett reminded him by grabbing him with one hand.
Same Waynes. This bit of information brought by Kent broke up the last bit of luck that the players had. For the next few days, the players were in a state of waiting for the rest of the day. It is said that Mayor Barnion is already busy cleaning up.
However, to the surprise of the players, during the quiet fifth day, the team organized by Count Sandy Lands successfully settled in Sigma Town. The players who have unloaded their burdens, after breathing a sigh of relief, calmly waited for the next day to set off, completely breaking off this matter.
But just as midnight approached, waves suddenly set off on the otherwise calm sea, like boiling water in a boiling pot. A large number of Sawa fish people are constantly emerging from the water.
In just a few seconds, the alarm bell in Sigma Town rang, and the sound of "bell-bell-bell" was heard throughout the city in a matter of moments. At the same time, it will wake players from their sleep.
However, the fish-man in front of him doesn't seem to care if his actions are discovered or not. Among the surging schools of fish, a four-armed fishman with multiple colored shells hung from his body. He was held a harpoon in one arm and a huge conch in the other
The muffled sound of a horn echoed across the river near Sigma Town. Immediately after that, those Shahua fishman priests, holding up the shark bone in their hands, began to bless the warriors who were preparing to charge. All of a sudden, the river glows with colorful light, and it's a truly dazzling feeling......
With a loud roar from the charging fishmen, the ferocious sea creatures began to accelerate violently, and a few flutters rushed to the land. The defenders of Sigma Town acted as if they had no reaction and let them board the docks.
As they landed, the movements of the Sawa Fishmen slowed down. Immediately afterwards, the guards, who had been waiting behind the makeshift bunker, shot out of a quiver on their waists in a very short time.
Covered in a rain of arrows, the Sawa Fishman let out a scream, and the defenders in the frenzied bunker rushed over. Because of the magic of the Sava Fishman priest. Ordinary bows and arrows are difficult to have too much impact on those fish-man warriors who are blessed with divine arts, don't look at the other party's miserable scream, but they are really seriously injured and incurable, it can be said that it is a dime in nine years.
Seeing this, the defenders of Sigma Town had no choice but to set up a sword formation, ready to fight with these fishmen in front of them.
Players who are equipped are also on the front line of the war at this time, but the size of the Shahua Fishman in front of them has exceeded everyone's imagination, and the boundless monsters make people have no hope of victory at all.
And that's just a small place like Sigma Town. The same attack took place in several ports along the banks of the Tigros River. A big city like the Three Rivers has suddenly surfaced with a large number of Shahua fish people.
These guys swam fast in the water, surging like gravel to the docks. On the stone pier less than 1 kilometer away, nearly 10,000 shaved fishmen surging out. And those killed by the defenders were not less than a fraction of that number.
And in the port of Walter in the Kingdom of Ethasia, at this time, it is facing a fierce attack from the fish-man tribe in the depths of the ocean. The rising light of the fire lit up the entire night sky. The 'Golden Thorn Bird', which had already received the news, was ready to meet the enemy with the help of the largest business federation in the continent.
I saw that the whole pier lit up suddenly, followed by a loud "boom". Monsters within a radius of 30 feet were blown to shredded flesh in one fell swoop. And the fierce fire oil barrel that had been placed here in advance was also ignited instantly. The entire dock area, along with the nearby sea, was on fire.
The mountains of cloth and wood on the docks became the best fuel when fueled by the fire oil. The fire enveloped the dock area within a dozen minutes. The sudden rise in temperature made these savatars very uncomfortable, and they seemed to be a little sluggish due to the massive dehydration.
But before the defenders of Port Volta could shout a cheer, the attack from the Sawa Fishmen arrived. Accompanied by a cold wind, bursts of frost and mist continued to pour in towards the pier. The frost mist, which suppressed the flames, made the guards shiver one by one. It seemed that the entire front would crumble to pieces at any moment under the strong push of the cold wind and ice waves on this side.
And in the rich and mighty City of Rewater.
Lack of time to make up for the next ......
