Chapter 43: Sticking the Wall
Quickly returning to the city wall area with the special items collected, the soldiers had already prepared the items to block the secret passage, which was a huge stone ball, polished according to the size of the secret passage, which could perfectly block all the gaps in the secret passage.
The secret passage excavated at the foundation of the city wall of Bay City is made up of hard rocks near the city wall, and these rocks are thicker than the city wall above, which is not at all corroded by the fishmen, and the existence of the secret passage is a loophole, but if it is blocked with a rough stone of this quality, then this defect will no longer exist.
Barry stepped forward to report: "Master Allen, the fish-man has moved, should we start blocking?"
Before leaving, Alan told them about the situation they were facing, and the soldiers were not very worried about it.
There is no one who can understand the thickness of the stone ball better than the people who participated in the polishing of the stone ball, let alone the water arrows of the fishmen, even the fireballs of the mages could not be shaken in the slightest.
Alan didn't give an immediate answer, but asked, "What about the mercenaries?"
Barry replied, "Those mercenaries have a nose better than a dog, and the slightest abnormality in the fish-men will all come back, and by the way, the remnants of the pirates under the western wall, we have taken them all captive." ”
Alan nodded and ordered, "Hold it for now, and I'll talk about it when I'm done dealing with this matter." ”
For those pirates who were abandoned by most of the pirates, Alan was not hostile, after all, they were already betrayed, and naturally it was impossible to be of the same mind with which pirates, and it was even possible to be hostile.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend, and Eren believes in that, so he plans to talk to the rest of the pirates when this is done.
I'm sure they'll be happy to help Eren find the pirates who are hiding.
As for now, Alan doesn't plan to let them go for the time being, even if they are outcasts, who can say whether there are any traitors in them.
Be careful, he's already made a mistake once, but he doesn't want to make a second one.
Walking briskly up the wall, Alan looked out of the wall.
He was on the west city wall at this time, and below the city wall was the original port area, compared to the previous port area, it was now more lively, countless fishmen crowded in this area, compared to their other two city walls, these fishmen were even more miserable.
Because of the presence of buildings, they appear more crowded.
But the crowd was being evacuated, and the fish-men, who had been rushing towards the city walls with red eyes and no reason, were now turning their heads as if they were attracted by something else, and some of the fish-men on the edge were already shrugging their noses and heading towards the right side of the wall, where the secret passage was!
However, it may be because of the sea breeze, the smell that spreads here is erratic, and the fish are hesitant and slow to move forward.
Seeing this, Alan breathed a sigh of relief, because at the current speed of these fishmen, they still have plenty of time.
So he no longer hesitated, immediately descended the city wall, and ordered the soldiers to take the special items they had collected and go to the end of the secret passage to cover up all the strangeness.
Allen personally led a pair of soldiers to hurry along the secret passage of the western city wall.
Although it seemed that he had plenty of time, he had a lot of dreams at night, so he decided to do it quickly!
There was silence in the secret passage, and the mercenaries had already returned to the city at this time, and they were a little overwhelmed, so naturally there was no obstacle to appear.
There were no surprises along the way, and when Eren and his party reached the end of the secret passage, they couldn't help but grit their teeth again for the sinister intentions of the pirates.
The section of the road near the end of the secret passage was completely covered with a translucent liquid, and the feet, the left and right walls, and even the top of the head were all covered with a layer of viscous liquid!
The translucent liquid is mixed with round "particles", and these soldiers, who have lived by the sea since childhood, can roughly look at it and find out what these viscous liquids are - fish eggs!
Fish eggs that cover a large area at the end of the secret passage!
"Damn pirates, are you going to kill us all!"
A veteran looked at the situation in front of him and cursed.
The others' faces were not very good, and they cursed the pirates who started them.
The smell of fish eggs is very special, it can adhere to the air for a long time, even if the fish and human eggs in the secret passage are cleaned, the smell will not dissipate for a while. It's also very transmissible, and if the smell is allowed to continue, the army of fishmen outside the city will have to be attracted to it!
In fact, if it weren't for the calm sea breeze today, the fish people wouldn't be so sluggish!
The cursing soldiers began to cover the viscous liquid with a strange pale green object with an inexplicable smell at Allen's orders, but most of them were pessimistic.
I only know that fish eggs are difficult to entangle, but I have never heard of anything that can restrain its smell.
"Can this thing work?"
This question is common in the minds of the soldiers. Due to the lack of experienced fishermen in the team, they didn't realize what the pasty object in their hands was, as its smell didn't smell very bad to humans.
Therefore, after busy work, a soldier actually stretched out his finger and dipped it in his nail and tasted it.
"Hmm... It seems to be rum mixed with wheat flour and a few other things. ”
Two soldiers also tasted this when they saw this, and Allen was speechless when he saw it.
However, he didn't make a sound to remind them of their thoughts, which was too "disappointing", and it was better to let them know nothing.
The viscous liquid around the rock wall of the secret passage was covered with a slimy object under the hard work of the soldiers, as if it was pasted with a layer of mud, and their original intention was not to cover, but to mix the smell, so the outer layer of mud was not rigorous.
With the efforts of the soldiers, Alan could clearly feel that the fishy smell that was originally filled around him was constantly being mixed and fused with another special smell at this time, and the fishy smell was constantly being reduced.
"It works!"
The soldiers were excited, and so was Alan, who even went to great lengths to use his magic and cast a mage's hand to speed up the coverage!
So under the stunned expressions of the soldiers, pieces of paste-like objects suddenly flew out of the barrels, and then as if they were being manipulated by an invisible hand, they continued to paste like the surrounding rock walls, and the speed was very fast!
Compared to other spells' instantaneous drain, the Mage's Hand is continuous, as its effect is also continuous.
The magic required to maintain the mage's hand was not very much, and it was still within the reach of Allen, who was no longer what it used to be, so in the next few minutes, it completely became his personal show.
The soldiers, despite his reminders, remained absent-minded, all curious about the mysterious phenomenon before them.
"Your lord is a legendary mage?"
This thought quietly appeared in their hearts, and an emotion that did not know whether it was excitement or fear appeared inexplicably.
So this task was completed in a silent atmosphere.
"Call it a day!"
Alan noticed something strange about the soldiers, but he didn't explain anything. Compared with the local mages, Alan has no intention of keeping a low profile, and the identity of the mage will be revealed sooner or later, and it is just an "appetizer" at the moment.
He had planned to cast magic in front of all the lords, but there were no particularly eye-catching spells in his current mastery, so this plan was put on hold for the time being.
Of course, the idea was not to sensationalize, but to create a sensation and spread his name.
