"Tom, Sawyer, take your men to the turret, hold the steering wheel, pull the shield rope! thugs, hurry, run for me, you!"
With the bald captain's rap and shouting, the sailors showed a good plain - a dozen tower shields were raised on the side of the ship, and the place was armed into a simple battlement, and then a ballista immediately creaked open, and the huge spear and arrow that shot out slammed into the water, setting off a large splash of water, and a faint mournful scream was pressed into the bottom of the water by the sound of the water!
But casualties occurred on the human side almost immediately......
A hapless fellow too close to the side of the ship let out a short scream, and the sound of the sailors' torches had stopped abruptly by the time they shone in that direction—the shadow that pressed on him shone with gray phosphorescence in the light of the torches. biquge.info It completely suppressed the poor young man with its fat body, and its two strong arms twisted the poor man's neck at a terrible angle.
"Illumination!" Miss Lisa said a short prayer, and the few ropes hanging from the side of the ship began to glow. These ropes, which wrap around the side of the ship, illuminate the entire ship almost instantly.
The image of the black shadows climbing the side of the ship was exposed to the light - the monster was called a lizard, with gray-green scales and long jaws that made them look like standing crocodiles, but with much more developed limbs, and the combination of the yellow-brown teeth in front of their heads, and the gray-green fins erected at the back of their heads, constituted a strange sense of oppression.
Of course, this is seen in the spirit sucking monster. ** The architecture of the division and a series of other bizarre views of a certain hunter - in the eyes of ordinary people, it is synonymous with horror.
"Damn, isn't it a day's worth before they get to the mouth of the Kalin Beach? Bastards, stinky salted fish, let them dive so close......! Where did you get so much!"
The captain let out a series of curses, even the red fire around him could not hide the paleness of his face, the sailors who ran the ship were also used to seeing life and death, but in this situation. They couldn't calm down either—as far as the light of the Luminosa could reach, there were no less than fifty of the large gray-green dorsal fins!, and the river in the distance was churning loudly at the moment, and it was clear that there were more monsters gathering here!
There was a strange creaking cry in the night, followed by a whooshing sound breaking through the air. In the dim light, there were several screams at once!
What flew in was a few short javelins, throwing weapons that were particularly lethal in the hands of powerful monsters, though those javelins were crude. The accuracy was poor, but this round of throwing left at least four crew members incapacitated - one with an arm pierced, two with their legs and feet pinned, and the unluckiest one was nailed directly to the mast!
The wind pressed the river and the mist, mingling with the stench of decay. The smell of blood was also getting thicker, making it difficult to breathe reflexively, but the smell clearly aroused the ferocity of the lizardmen even more. Compared to their stupid appearances, their intelligence is obviously not low - as soon as they approached the side of the ship, several sailors were immediately pulled into the water by the sudden leaping black shadows, and they were dragged to the bottom before they even had a chance to struggle.
There were many more guys who hissed and roared. Climb up from the side of the ship. Soon they had the advantage, if it weren't for their innate extreme sensitivity to flames, and their concern for the lamp oil and blazing glue in the hands of the crew, the defense line composed of dozens of crew members would have been broken through!
But what's even more troublesome is that at that moment just now, the two ballistas, the biggest reliance of mankind, have been completely lost!
"Damn, damn it! How are these bastards so smart!"
"Hold the sails, you idiots!"
"Docking. Hurry up and get to the shore!"
"Damn, the steering wheel doesn't work. Those bastard monsters!"
"What should we do? Run? We still have a bucket of oil to pour into the water......
"Shut up idiot! The oil doesn't boil long in the water. When it comes to the hull of the ship, it's us who is finished! Do you want us to be turned into torches?"
In the midst of the noise, the captain cursed, and threw a throwing axe in his hand, and a monster that had just rushed in front of him suddenly screamed and withered.
But others don't have such good martial arts, both in terms of strength and speed. None of them could compare with this predator, the lizardmen's scale armor was tough and thick, and it was covered with slime, and the sailors could only make a shallow pit with a dozen short bows, even with the strength of the sailors, and this injury was only insignificant to the beasts, and it aroused their ferocity! Let the balance of power tilt in their favor - especially the lizardmen in the back are no longer just relying on claws and fangs, they also hold short knives or short swords in their hands, although they are covered in rust and cracked, but when held in the hands of these monsters, they are still very effective, slashing through the unprotected bodies of sailors, and immediately taking away a blur of flesh and blood.
If those wounds make people feel unbearable pain, then the belonging of those flesh and blood is even more unbearable - every bit of flesh becomes a delicacy in the mouths of these monsters, they scream and lick from the blades, and several unlucky dead have been torn into a blurred skeleton in the next moment, and the terrible sound of cooing and chirping is accompanied by the excited howls of the monsters, almost making the sailors who claim to be playing their lives weak and disgusted with their legs!
Fortunately, humanity is not without room to fight back.
After a moment's hesitation, Edward struck a shot - a large stream of purple light erupted from the tip of the missile wand, slicing and smashing a lizardman into holes!
This effect made the caster himself stunned for a moment, these guys in the mage tower are too rich! This is not the magic missile staff that the ** master gave him, it already has such lethality. These two missile staffs are almost enough to double all the monsters in the river, and they are also clean!
...... But every time this thing is sent out, it looks like a shiny gold coin!
So if you can. The accustomed mercenaries really don't want to use such a one-time high-level weapon, but these guys in front of them are far from being as stupid as they seem...... No, or maybe it was just because they were too stupid for the effect of the psychic stab to be obvious to them!, and after comparing the lethality of the psionic energy at hand, Edward had no choice but to use money to solve the problem.
There was a burst of cheers among the sailors.
The role that a caster can play in battle may be limited, but it is still a great morale booster, not to mention that the caster still looks quite powerful - between the backhand, a large dazzling sheen bursts from the side of the ship. The blinding pain caused the monsters to stagger backwards, and then fall back into the water on an unsteady footing!
"Damn monsters!"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the little girl beside the caster let out a loud cry at this time, and a circle of luster burst out around her. Then the little body rushed forward...... The manifestation just now made Edward's spirit pause, and it couldn't stop her from such a dangerous move at all!
Well, it doesn't actually look that dangerous either.
This one broke out of the defensive circle. The seemingly tender food suddenly attracted a large number of lizardmen, who rushed to the scene, and the rusty swords and sharp teeth in their hands formed a jungle of sharp blades in an attempt to stop the shining little one. But the little girl raised her hand, and at some point she already held a black mace in her hand, and with a wave of her hand, more than a dozen weapons were swept away in a clang, causing these broken copper and iron to scatter in all directions. The lizards screamed wildly, and the monsters that had lost their weapons retreated in fright—and the girl didn't hesitate to round the mace with a crunch. A pair of beautiful wings of light stretched out behind her, and a dull pop sounded. The monsters that had just gathered around flew back upside down as if they had been hit by a bull!
"I'll go, this girl's god is too generous, isn't it?"
In the midst of an excess, Edward couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly!
Although Edward didn't want to become a priest, that didn't stop him from learning a little about priesthood recently - there was not much difference between magic and arcane, many of them were the same thing, but in terms of the channels of use, they took two different routes.
Mages learn to master their spells. Through the guò magic net as an intermediary, the spiritual power is extracted from the natural power to shape the arcane. Complex postures and movements are used to perform them, and the magic uses the power of the gods, and the spiritual power of the believers is gathered to the gods. The feedback of the gods shapes the energy through the magic web, so that many things are omitted...... For example, complex postures, movements, and spells, and a wide variety of spell casting materials......
In other words, the deities are like intermediaries in this regard, passing on the troublesome steps of the casters, and the reward they receive is the faith of the believers.
But it's always convenient to have an extra backstage boss...... In order to ensure the flexibility of their movements and avoid the interference of magic, the mages are not allowed to use any armor - it is unwise to wear a padded jacket. The priest doesn't care at all, the top armor is common sense, and the strength is far better than that of a mage, worthy of half a warrior. Armed with giant shields, war hammers and axes, they can charge into battle to protect their comrades and save the wounded. It is a very popular companion among mercenaries anywhere.
But those powerful pastors are hard to come by.
Although it is not agreed that you have to be a monk since you were a child, you have to practice anything, but after all, you still have to accumulate enough faith, and you are too pious, so that priests usually like to stay in a certain temple to benefit one party, and even simply plan to build a temple themselves. They rarely come out as mercenaries and adventurers, and among the few who wander outside, they are either preachers, or have other missions, or even simply minions of evil gods. For only in this way can they accumulate enough faith to please their gods.
Miss Lisa's age has such power...... It's rarer than dragons.
"That's enough, Lisa, come back to help the wounded!"
Frowning, Edward shouted, the magic used by that girl seems to be a divine ability, which can greatly increase her ability in a short period of time, but it can't last long. If a raid is surrounded, even the most favored priest will hang up.
"Oops...... It's scary, it's scary, you can only know it up close. These guys are so scary......"
With a response, the half-elf returned to the sailors' space in a few sliding steps, patting his small chest and panting slightly. I have to say, it's cute......
However, in a brief encounter so far, the "cute" girl had overturned seven or eight 'terrible' lizardmen—monsters swept away by the black mace-headed mace, 100 percent flesh and bones, even with the tenacity of a beast. It was also difficult to get up, and five or six of the more unlucky ones did get scary - their heads exploded into a mass of flesh and blood...... Sharp hiss came and went, even for the mercenaries who were accustomed to seeing the brutal battlefields. I can't help but have a cold war.
Beside the magician, there will naturally be strange women, uh-huh. The sailors hurriedly comforted themselves and concentrated on the monsters in front of them.
Regardless, the tide of the battle seems to have changed because of the addition of these two men.
The half-elf let out a long chant, and a faint light enveloped the entire battlefield. The sailors immediately felt as if the whole world had become lighter, their bodies were stronger, their weapons were no longer heavy, and they were wielding them faster than a third of the original. The scimitar, which could only tear a small hole, can now cut the limbs of the lizardmen in two! At the same time, the fear in their hearts disappeared without a trace, leaving only inexplicable excitement, so they shouted loudly. Fiercely began to attack those opponents who kept climbing onto the side of the ship, and connected a dozen lizard warriors who attacked the ship, they were all beaten down or cut down on the deck on the spot without hesitation. For a time, most of the positions were recaptured!
But monsters aren't idiots either.
The shrill hissing of the river suddenly became rapid, and then a green light gushed from the water, and the green light was on the side of the ship, and the wood there suddenly moved, and at once countless vines spread out, and in an instant several sailors were caught off guard. With another shrill cry of "Hiss!", a wave of javelins flew up. The sailors, who did not have the ability to dodge, suffered heavy casualties on the spot!
Edward's brow furrowed a little tighter as he swept over the monsters in the water, which were already less than fifty in his life. Dealing with these monsters, as long as they have done a certain amount of damage, they can retreat. There's no need to kill them all, and the lizardmen aren't the kind of monsters that are completely inintelligent, and if they are really in a hurry, a boat from under the water is enough to drive everyone to a dead end, and Edward can teleport and escape with the little girl, but then he is destined to go through another trouble.
And by this time, the guy who had cast the spell had already jumped out of the water like a cannonball, and smashed on the deck with a big splash!
This guy is apparently the leader of the lizardmen, with a larger body size than the average lizardman, and instead of a machete commonly used by the average lizardmen, he has a dark red spear. The slippery and thick carapace took on a strange black-red color, and as he jumped onto the deck, he could smell the strong smell of sulfur from afar, and the water vapor was constantly steaming up on his body.
"Human ...... , spare you, or...... Die!"
What was even more surprising was that he glanced at the people around him with his separated bubbling eyes, and after a pause, a muffled voice came out of his throat!
"***When will monsters be able to rob ships?"
The bald captain was stunned, then laughed and let out a disdainful curse......
Of course, this guy's cunning isn't just about hoarding...... While laughing, he flipped his hand and threw two throwing axes!
This was clearly his famous skill, and seven or eight of the twenty or thirty lizardmen the sailors had so far had died on this simple but powerful weapon—but this time it was doomed, and the tall lizardman hissed in disdain, and opened one with the short spear in his hand, while the other was flashed by him, and flew somewhere.
And he was followed by a real counterattack.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked for a moment - they had the impression that these aquatic humanoids were usually very averse to fire...... But this guy actually opened his mouth wide in the next moment, and a large burst of fire erupted from the ground!
This***...... Is it the Dragonborn?
Some of the stunned humans suddenly flashed such a slumber of exclamation in their heads!
But the power of the flame was terrible—though the bald captain had rolled backwards in an instant, the flame was sticking to him like sticky grease, and in an instant it set half the deck on fire!
At this terrifying time, there are only two casters of human beings who can react.
Edward frowned, and spewed two streamers of light at the lizardman leader in quick succession, as well as a green shadow - the magic missile hit the monster and failed somewhat, only to plow a few marks on his thick scales!
Edward, go!
The lizardman was so fast that he turned into a blur of shadows on a piece of wood! Lisa screamed, holding the hammer in front of Edward, ready to fight the monster.
Something wonderful happened in the next moment,
Just when there was only a dozen feet left between the two, the shadow paused suddenly!
I saw him open his mouth wide, as if he had seen something terrible, took two steps back, and then, violently jumped into the water!
