The soldier who broke in didn't let the tavern owner close the door, he shouted loudly at the people in the tavern, Mo Yan didn't understand a few words in most words, but one of the words was mentioned repeatedly, Mo Yan remembered that the tavern owner also said that yesterday, referring to the monsters that attacked him.

With dark green skin, disgusting mucus and fish scales, fish-like fins on its back, gills on its face that breathe in the sea, and duck webpers on its hands and feet with only three fingers, it is a small fish-like humanoid monster.

The mercenaries in the tavern shouted around the soldiers for a while, not knowing whether they believed the soldiers' words or simply didn't want to go out into the wind and rain. But when the soldier brought out a piece of wet parchment, all dissatisfaction was suppressed. Seeing the contents of the parchment, the mercenaries still muttered and complained, but they all began to prepare their weapons. The storm was still raging outside, but it was much better than yesterday.

It didn't take much time for the mercenaries to brave the wind and rain with their weapons, and even the tavern owner went out with a sledgehammer and a leather armor. Only Mo Yan and the woman who was woken up by the noise downstairs were left in the room. The soldier looked at the two people in the room, didn't say anything, and left with the mercenaries.

Mo Yan is really not the kind of man who seems to be able to fight, rather than letting him go to the wall where to die and die easily, which hits the morale that is already low, it is better to let him stay here, not to mention that his strange appearance makes the soldiers not worry about him. An exotic man who knows if he's a spy or not, though the town has no secrets to steal.

The merchant Camos was not spared, his two mercenaries tried their best to save his employer from being drafted, but they could not convince the soldiers who were dutiful, the garrison captain's orders were quite clear, all the men in the town who could fight with swords must be gathered in the wall, Camos did not look thin and strange like Mo Yan, then he had no privileges to be spared.

Mo Yan watched everyone leave and probably understood what was going on. The heavily armed man followed the soldiers away, and the repeated mention of the word fish man, the setting of monster siege, which is only used in third-rate online games, jumped out of Mo Yan's mind.

"It can't be because of me, is it?"

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Mo Yan grinned a little embarrassedly and turned out all the things in his jeans pocket. Five or six gold coins of dull color, a lighter-looking lighter, a few notes of various colors, and a palm-sized dark red round gem.

Mo Yan, who fell into the sea inexplicably, was attacked by those dark green monsters in the sea, but the result was not what he and Camos described, and there were some things he needed to hide for the time being.

It only took him ten minutes to solve the twenty or thirty fish-men, and he didn't leave any alive with a fatal blow to his neck, and even found some belongings from these monsters by the way, and on one of the special fish-men, he found this beautiful-looking gem, and he felt that he could sell it for some money and kept it.

The fish-man appears to be a high-ranking figure of the fish-man, and it is protected by all the fish-people in the very center. Even in the end, there was a fish-man in front of it, so that it could stay as far away from danger as possible, but it was all in vain. The fish people could never have imagined that someone would swim faster than them in the sea.

Instantly ruled out the suspicion of those few gold coins, Mo Yan pinched the dark ruby between his fingers, even against the burning flames, he couldn't see what was hidden in the gem, this should be just a very ordinary gem, it would not provoke a large group of fishmen.

Ahem...... Either he killed some important person of the fish people, remembering that day when he fell into the icy water, the corpses of strange sea beasts floating around him were obviously deliberately arranged like that, a sacrificial ritual was broken by himself, and the priest was killed by himself, or other great hatred, perhaps the cause of this riot.

"Is there still a long sword?" Mo Yan looked at the somewhat worried woman, gesturing with his hand to cut, and said the words that Camos had taught him, if I am not mistaken, it should be the pronunciation of the long sword carried by the mercenary.

When the woman heard Mo Yan's words, although most of them didn't understand, the long sword did. She looked at Mo Yan for a moment, and finally shook her head vigorously. Someone as tall as her, even if she gets a weapon, what if she goes to the wall to die?

She knew the defense of Kalan, the so-called fence was nothing more than a wooden log fence, and the only better place than a camp was that there were a lot of stones piled up on this side of the town, forming a walkable path. The mayor plans to renovate the ugly wall into an all-masonry structure by next year, as the town's finances won't be able to afford it until this year.

Seeing that the woman didn't have any intention of looking for a weapon for herself, Mo Yan could only look for it by herself, wandering around the hall, he didn't find anything that could be used, and finally could only go to the back kitchen to find a chef's cleaver, the thick blade was sharpened, but it was quite short.

"Where are you going? Those monsters are not up to you. ”

When Mo Yan was about to open the door that had been reclosed, the woman stood in front of him and stopped him, which was tantamount to sending him to death. As the soldier had just said, the fish-men were behaving quite strangely, with countless fish-men gathering outside the town, and even more being landed from the sea.

The port that had been closed for a long time was now completely occupied by the fishmen, and some of the soldiers even saw that they were making ladders, and if these monsters rushed in, the whole town would cease to exist, and even if a thin man went, he would only be killed by the fishmen.

Karan's population is really not large, just two thousand people, and now it seems that most of them have gone to Kari, and it seems that they are understaffed. Now, with the soldiers who remained in the town, they could barely organize a guard force of four hundred, but compared to the number of fishmen, their strength was far from enough.

Mo Yan could understand the kindness of the woman in front of him, but he couldn't explain in words that he could help, the people here couldn't understand Chinese at all, and he had only learned a little local language, and it was of course impossible to say such a complex explanation, so Mo Yan could only prove himself in the simplest way......

"How can there be so many. ”

Wiping the rain from his face, on the wall near the port, Camos, who was simply equipped with a few pieces of leather armor, held the long sword in his hand to death. He had never seen anything like it, even though he had experienced some goblins and robbers on the way to Kalan, but the number of a dozen or so was remarkable, and now from the direction of the harbor on the wall, he could not count how many fishmen were wandering.

"Listening to the townspeople, the situation here is abnormal, and I have never heard of such a large-scale operation of the Fish-People. ”

The mercenaries who stayed by his employer's side at all times looked at the fishmen with sharp eyes.

He looked relaxed and didn't feel as tense as his employer, and as a veteran of the battlefield, he had seen more ferocious and intelligent humans than this, and he seemed at ease at this time. Defending on the city walls gave him the feeling of being on the battlefield again, and years of experience in the army taught him that if he wanted to survive the next battle, he had to seize all the time to rest, rather than straining his body and wasting his strength.

The town's entire defensive line was not too long, but it was not conducive to defense, and the four hundred men scattered on the three-hundred-meter wall were really not a thick defensive line. On a tower on the wall, the captain of the garrison in iron armor looked at the fishmen below and frowned.

Now he had at his disposal one hundred and fifty regularly trained warriors, as well as almost three hundred improvised mercenaries and men from the city. There are some guarantees of mercenary combat effectiveness, but ...... Looking at the men on the city wall who already had gray hair, the garrison captain rubbed his brows a little weakly, there had been no relaxation all night.

"The weapons have been distributed, and I will do as you tell us to break up and merge into the entire line of defense, which may be of some use. ”

A bearded man walked in against the wind and rain, such weather is really bad for them, people can't stay on the city wall all the time, the wind and rain will consume the heat in these people's bodies, but for the fish people this is nothing, their blood is cold. When the soldiers can't stand it and hide in the towers, the fishmen may seize the opportunity to storm the city.

"Has the messenger to Kari City departed?" Looking at his deputy, the captain of the garrison asked about the task he had arranged last night, if he could hold on until the arrival of the support troops, then maybe this defense could continue.

"We're on our way, sir. The six-man squad has already set off, and the horses of the barracks have been brought to them, and if they keep hurrying, they should be able to arrive at noon tomorrow. "The deputy only wears half of the iron armor, and the rest can only be replaced by leather armor, although there are a lot of resources produced here, but there are not many left.

Most of the taxes were handed over to the lords, but the equipment distributed was always insufficient, and the wear and tear of daily tasks and the erosion of humid air made most of the people here accustomed to using leather armor, although it was not particularly strong, but it was much better than no protection at all.

"Then we're going to have to keep watch for at least four days, let the guards come in batches to warm up, prepare some hot soup to restore their strength, and that's all we can do now. ”

Looking at the dark green swaying in front of him, the captain of the garrison took a deep breath and clenched his fists, everything that should be done has been done, and whether he can defend it or not can only depend on the arrangement of the god of fate. I don't know how many of these more than 400 people can still live to welcome the support troops.
