897. Faced with passive merfolk
On December 23, at the mouth of the northern fjord of Brejak, a large group of mermaids formed a large circle next to a black and red conch, and the red magic pattern on the shell of the large conch kept the surrounding sea water at a relatively high temperature for more than ten meters.
In the center of the circle, a mermaid with a longer tail fin than other similar species holds a demonic trident in his hand, and this master of the Temple of Waves is mobilizing the magic of his whole body, constantly understanding the magic patterns on the surface of the trident.
Putting away his magic field, the master opened his eyes and asked a high-level warrior beside him, "Shinak, is this trident really a standard weapon that every high-level sea beast has?" ”
On the left chest of the high-ranking Naga warrior named Shinak, there was a row of three deep wounds that echoed the trident.
"Yes, Master Kiora, when I saw the sea lion man the next day, he had a new trident." Shinak said with a solemn face, "I have asked many compatriots who have retreated from the battlefield these days, and every high-level sea beast they encounter has a similar weapon in their hand, and these weapons seem to appear in their hands out of thin air from 7 days ago. ”
"Such a weapon, even the Terran Grand Magister can't be easily crafted," said the Guru named Kiora, "According to the information in the Wave Temple, only 7 workshops in the Terran Imperial Capital and 5 workshops along the coast can make it, but it is absolutely impossible to make it in such batches. ”
"Master, the recent battle of our clan has been extremely unsmooth, and the loss of high-level positions in a month has even exceeded that of the previous battle, and it is obvious that a very strong backup has been found on the other side, and the strength of this backup may exceed that of ordinary human nobles."
"It won't be the Empire, there are our eyeliners in the strongest coastal workshops."
"Beast ......" Shinak instinctively wanted to say orcs, but stopped when the words reached his mouth, it was impossible for those animals to create such a complex magic weapon, "But the elves are not good at such magic patterns, they can't be dwarves, right?" ”
"Let our Terran allies figure out where these weapons come from, and if they can make weapons of the same level, we'll be rewarded!"
"Yes!"
"Master, there's another thing, Fiat Galloping Horse of Mangrove Island, it seems that one of his family members is fighting against the orcs, and I heard that it has reached the eastern border of the orcs."
"Oh, I remember that there was a junior in their family named Jenny, right?" Kiora nodded, "It seems that this family is not useless, tell that Fiat, as long as their family can fully carry out with the orcs, from land to Breyak, I will let their family's maritime trade double their share!" ”
The merfolk are always lagging behind in the news of the Human Empire, and at this moment, the Guru does not know that the strategic allies they count on are the allies of their opponents.
After arranging the task at hand, Kiora swam to the top of the conch, and from here he looked around, there were at least dozens of smaller conch nearby, and around each conch, a small school of merfolk, octopus, mantis shrimp, or other sea monsters gathered.
"Your Majesty's Dependents!" Through low-frequency vibrations that are difficult to distinguish between the human ear, Kiora hears his voice to all mermaids.
"What does it mean that the brutes of Breyjak have amassed such strength that our warriors have suffered great losses in just a few years?
It shows that we can only do our best in one battle, so that this group of brutes who betrayed the sea and betrayed Your Majesty will disappear completely! ”
"Great power to Your Majesty!"
Countless beings sent similar vibrations at different frequencies, and at this moment all the mermaids were eager to rush into the fjord, plough the cave completely, and wipe out those damned sea beasts.
Of course, Kiora himself understands that the battle is not a simple group fight, even if their group of mermaids rush in, the battle situation will not improve immediately, the terrain in the fjord is complicated, now the opposite side is strong, the recent offensive troops have suffered many losses, many experienced high-level will never return, he must be fully prepared to lead the troops deeper.
Back at the high level, Kiora began to make a battle plan: "Shinak, let's go deep into the fjord again tonight to do a reconnaissance to see if Breyjak is real or not, I want to see if the so-called Breyak blockade is so powerful!" ”
"Guru? Do you want to go in person? "In the last 10 days, fewer and fewer fighters have been able to return from the shores of Brejak......
"Yes, it's because of the danger that we have to lead by example and go there ourselves, maybe this time, we can figure out where these animals got so many demonic weapons!"
At the insistence of Master Okira, the high-ranking Naga warrior Shinak organized a high-ranking team of 10 merfolk to go deep into the fjord against the current in the night.
When they entered the entrance to the fjord for about 1 kilometer, the wreckage of hundreds of demonic containers scattered under the water surprised Okira a little.
"We destroyed all of this?" The guru asked, in his opinion, if he could take away the usable part of it, maybe he would be able to reduce the casualties of his own clan.
"Yes, Master, there are a total of 4 dark ditches at the mouth of the fjord, which are not only the easiest places for sea beasts to ambush, but also the most suitable route for us to go to Breyak, these demonic containers are the wreckage left by our two sides for dozens of days."
"Can't we just recycle these containers?"
"We've tried, but unfortunately, these containers can only be repainted on the shore, and we can't fix them." Shinak also has some regrets,
"Master, some of my spies have heard that the Terrans now have a magic pattern container production alliance, and all the containers are produced by this alliance, but my eyeliner has asked several Container Alliance workshops, and they say that they have never sold containers that can produce oxygen in the deep sea."
"Don't worry, none of them can escape His Majesty's sanctions!" Okira was so happy that he led the reconnaissance team to continue to move against the current.
Although the current in the fjord is not turbulent, it always has a considerable speed, and the mermaids do not choose to swim in the diving area, but take advantage of the underwater terrain to constantly shuttle through the underwater ravines. With their high-level and strong bodies, they swam for a day and two nights, and finally arrived at a traditional and hidden cave before dawn on the 25th.
Located 40 meters below the water's surface, the cave is so deep and devoid of any air that many high-ranking mermaids take a break from before heading to the shores of Brejac.
"Do the Sea Beasts know about this?" As soon as he entered the underwater cavern, Okira asked.
"They know there is this place, but they rarely come here, because the sea beasts swim from the shallow waters, and they have to pass through several reefs, and if they enter this cave, they will have to float up for oxygen if they can't hold it for a while," Shinak said, after all, merfolk can breathe underwater, while sea beasts only hold their breath for a long time, and they always have to float up for breath.
"Master, once we get past here, even if we enter the waters of the sea beasts, in case of danger, the support we can get will be very limited," Shinak said solemnly, as if he was facing death, "You ...... now"
"Don't say any more, let's try it as soon as possible before dawn!"
