The name of the underwater city under the shores of Lake Vigema is unknown, but as an underwater city in an inland lake, it is not very large, it is not so much a city as an underwater town.

However, the residents of Vijema City could never have imagined that under this seemingly beautiful and peaceful lake, there was a terrifying evil god and hundreds of evil god minions.

As they develop their powers, they lurk quietly, waiting for the right moment, ready to unleash a great catastrophe at any moment.

Unbeknownst to them, Wayne had already embarked on a clandestine clean-up campaign with six of his fellow witches and three sorceresses who had assisted them in the battle.

The underwater town looks very dilapidated, with a large temple in the middle of the town, in addition to the small and collapsed Roman-style houses scattered around the town.

A large number of half-fishmen guards with rudimentary weapons have been patrolling around the town, and many skinny half-fishmen are doing their part to keep the population alive by catching schools of fish and seaweed that come into their sight.

Since the second half of last year, the fish bombing activity, which has lasted for several months, has caused serious damage to this group of half-fish people, who once dominated the shores of Lake Vigema, and also made these surviving half-fish people frightened birds, extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment.

Although the loss of a dozen or twenty per day does not seem to be much, but when added together, it has already caused this group of half-fish people to lose almost half of their warriors.

This has forced them to rarely go out to forage for food, and most of them just cower in their nests, wary of any stranger who dares to enter their territory.

Therefore, when Wayne and his party, supporting the underwater barrier separating the lake, set off from the bottom of the water, and just approached this underwater town, it immediately caused a violent reaction from the original inhabitants of the town.

In reality, it will not be like in the game, two or three enemies at a time, and then let you eat away at their power little by little like fighting monsters and upgrading, and finally a big boss will appear, fighting alone with you, allowing you to complete the feat of one person taking on one force alone.

As soon as Wayne and the others approached, the half-fish people immediately mobilized their strongest strength, and under the leadership of a dozen strong half-fish leaders wearing bone armor, almost two hundred half-fish people swam towards Wayne and them like a surging black tide.

Before they could get closer, a large number of bony harpoons were thrown out of their hands, like spears projected by the two armies during a battle, and they were densely shot towards the location of the underwater barrier.

However, these half-fish people, who have been living in a closed environment, do not know that there is a kind of spellcaster among humans called Warlocks.

In the face of the large number of harpoons projected, Kayla, dressed in a long white dress and wearing several magic items, held a small wand and chanted a quick incantation in her mouth.

As the spell ended, Kayla swung her wand forward, and an invisible wave surged in front of her, and after leaving the underwater barrier, it quickly formed a surging wave, directly throwing the harpoon in front of her, scattering it and losing the power to attack.

As a sorceress who is good at protective spells, her spells may not play a big role in the face of thousands of troops and large legions, but in the face of these individual combat strength is not as good as that of ordinary humans, in this kind of small-scale battle, her protective spells are a powerful force that can influence the tide of battle.

The half-fish people were also stunned for a moment, projecting harpoons can be said to be their best move, although near the shores of Lake Vijima, they have few enemies and little combat experience, but relying on this trick, they can always catch their own food in the lake.

I didn't expect that the invincible tricks in the past were useless this time, but soon, inspired by those strong half-fish leaders, this group of half-fish people re-boosted their morale, took the weapons in their hands, and rushed directly towards the underwater barrier, ready to win by numbers, close hand-to-hand combat, and personal sea tactics.

In the face of the surging half-fishmen, the seven witchers, including Wayne, consciously blocked the sorceress behind them and formed a simple semi-circular formation to prevent the half-fishmen who rushed into the enchantment and would hurt the fragile sorceresses in the rear.

Especially Yenafa, who has been channeling mana and maintaining the operation of the underwater barrier, if she is attacked, it is likely that the barrier will lose its effect, and when the time comes, millions of tons of lake water will be pressed down, and everyone may be seriously injured as a result.

Therefore, Wayne has always stood closest to the three sorceresses, almost close to protect them, and did not participate in the battle with the other witchers, which is his main task in this battle.

Soon, as the group of half-fish people continued to approach, when the first batch of half-fish people passed through the underwater barrier, were affected by the barrier, and fell from the lake water in mid-air to the ground, the six demon hunters standing on the front line immediately launched a precise and rapid kill.

The natural limb structure and rudimentary equipment protection make this group of half-fish people have no ability to resist under the blades of the demon hunters, coupled with the combat effectiveness of the half-fish people who are naturally slightly inferior to ordinary people, in the face of these full-state super soldiers who have drunk potions, smeared with sword oil, and cooperate with each other tacitly, the battle situation has been a one-sided scene from the beginning.

The weapons in the hands of the half-fishmen shattered under the touch of the witcher's steel sword, including their bodies, and were quickly cut into countless pieces, and the fishy-smelling blood spilled all over the bottom of the lake, and then covered in new half-fish-man flesh.

The black wave of these half-fishmen was like hitting the hardest reef, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, they were shattered into tiny splashes, and they were powerless to resist.

With a steel sword in his hand, Wayne was on high alert, guarding the three sorceresses while quietly watching his fellow witches slaughter the halffishers.

None of the half-fish people can support the three moves in the hands of the witcher, coupled with the tacit cooperation with each other, even if they can block the attack in front of them, they will often be directly pierced by the sharp sword that sneaks up behind them.

It's a pity that no one has been able to understand the language of the half-fish people so far, otherwise, maybe they can be negotiated to make them give up their belief in the evil gods, instead of killing them all like now.

Soon, as more and more Half-Fishmen poured into the underwater enchantment, Kayla and Triss joined the fray.

The two sorceresses, one using lightning magic and the other using fire magic, are equally lethal to these half-fishes, who have no armor to protect them.

Every lightning bolt, every fireball, leaves a terrifying wound on the body of these half-fish people, and even more serious than these wounds is psychological pressure.

After all, for these primitive and ignorant underwater fishmen, the hand-to-hand combat between each other was still within their comprehension, but those shining thunderbolts and scorching fireballs, which were terrifying things they had never seen before, such a spell attack also quickly broke down the defense line in their hearts.

With the cooperation of both the sorceress and the witcher, a small half of the more than two hundred half-fishmen were quickly annihilated.

Such a huge casualty in such a short period of time immediately aroused the alarm of the half-fish leaders.

Seeing this, one of the strongest half-fishmen, who was the most massive and should have a high status among the half-fishmen, immediately waved the weapon in his hand, let out a clattering sound, and then pulled out an ugly shell horn from his waist, put it to his mouth, and blew a loud sound.

When the half-fish people who had been charging forward heard the sound, they immediately abandoned their comrades who were still fighting and began to retreat towards the location of the huge temple in the town.

And because Geralt and the others couldn't break out of the underwater barrier, they could only watch those half-fish people escape, and there was nothing they could do.

In the end, I could only vent all the anger in my heart on those half-fish people who had not had time to evacuate, and the attack became more fierce for a while, and the half-fish people who had not had time to escape were cut into pieces one after another and fell to the bottom of the lake forever.

However, the results of the first battle were still quite huge, although the two sides fought for less than twenty minutes, but on Wayne's side, in addition to the consumption of physical strength and magic power, only Belengar suffered a slight abrasion on his arm because he couldn't dodge.

Other witchers, even if they were attacked by Half-Fishmen's weapons, would not be able to penetrate their armor and deal actual damage.

The half-fish people on the opposite side left nearly a hundred corpses in this confrontation, and finally they could only retreat to the huge palace in the center of the town under the leadership of the leader.

Unfortunately, the underwater barrier moved much slower than the half-fish people swam at a slower speed, and they could only move slowly towards the location of the temple step by step.

After entering the underwater city from the bottom of the lake, Triss exhaled slowly, then turned to Yennefer and said:

"Ye, replace me to maintain the barrier, it's your turn to rest."

Ye Naifa, whose face was a little pale, nodded, maintaining such an underwater barrier, the magic power consumed is quite huge, not a single sorcerer can support the whole process, which is why the sorceress just now did not use large-scale spells, they must keep enough mana until they return to the ground, they must maintain this enchantment.

After being replaced by Triss, Yennefer immediately took out a bottle of purple potion with a rather unpleasant smell and drank it, although the taste and smell of this potion were not very good, but as one of the most common potions taken by warlocks, it could effectively help spellcasters speed up the recovery of mana and lift their spirits.

Seeing that the goddess Yennefer covered her mouth and looked like she wanted to vomit, Geralt the licking dog immediately took out a white handkerchief from his arms and handed it to the sorceress, but unfortunately Yennefer just glanced at him, and then threw the handkerchief stained with half-fishy blood to the ground with some disgust, just wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and asked Wayne:

"What's next, Wayne."

"Do you want to destroy the half-fishmen near the town first, and then concentrate on entering that temple, or do you go straight to the temple?"

Wayne was actually thinking about this, but before he could make a decision, the old witcher Viselmir also proposed his idea.

"I think we should keep chasing them and catch them up as soon as possible, Wayne."

"In the face of our crushing combat power, these half-fish people did not choose to disperse in a hurry, but fled into that temple."

"Obviously, there should be a force in there that they can trust, think that power can help them, against us."

"At this time, the more time we give the enemy to prepare, the stronger the resistance we will encounter."

The old witcher's idea was immediately agreed by the other witchers, and George said as he wiped the sword in his hand:

"Yes, Wayne, I think so too."

"We should eradicate the evil god first, and then slowly deal with their minions, otherwise, maybe that evil god will see a bad opportunity and choose to escape."

"Let us not achieve the purpose of this battle."

After hearing their thoughts, Wayne agreed, and after a short break of a few minutes, some of them immediately chased straight towards the location of the temple gate.

The structure of the underwater temple, similar to the ancient Roman basilica of the gods.

However, compared to the golden temple of the gods, this underwater temple has been in the lake for an unknown amount of time, and the exterior has been covered in a large amount of algae and all kinds of dirt.

Not only did it not have the grandeur of a temple, but it looked quite eerie and terrifying, like a monster's open mouth, waiting for others to throw themselves into the net.

However, Wayne and his party were undaunted by this, and in the face of the swarthy entrance of the temple, Kayla immediately aimed in the direction of the gate and released a large light spell.

Illuminating the path in front of them and the interior of the hall, everyone remained vigilant and cautiously entered the temple.

Seven witchers, three sorceresses, not to mention dealing with two or three hundred half-fishmen, even in the face of a three-hundred, heavily armed human army, they are fearless.

After entering the temple, a smell that was more corrupt and foul than the smell of fish immediately permeated everyone's sense of smell, and Wayne and the others looked towards the hall and instantly understood what these half-fish people relied on.

I saw that in the huge underwater temple, the half-fish people who had fled into the temple had reformed an attack formation.

However, they are quite different from the previous battles.

Not only did each half-fish man have red eyes, fierce expressions, bulging muscles all over his body, and his body was enlarged, as if he was possessed by some force.

Behind this team, there were more than a dozen half-fish-man priests with metal staff in their hands, who were constantly waving their staffs, directing a blood-red power to enter the bodies of these half-fishmen.

And the dozen or so strong half-fish leaders before have been completely unrecognizable.

Their bodies swelled to about three meters, the skin of their whole bodies was pale blue like water ghosts, the fish heads were full of wriggling tentacles, and the muscles of their whole bodies swelled to a strange point, and they had quite powerful lethality at a glance.

And behind this group of half-fish people, there is also a figure of nearly five meters, with almost black skin all over the body, like a giant with an octopus head, staring at the people who entered the temple with a pair of huge blood and red eyes.
