Lord of Arcane

Chapter 918
Killing murlocs with a flying sword may be very efficient, but it can't handle the almost endless number of murlocs. Kill more, come more, kill endlessly.

And in terms of boosting morale, it may not be as good as Eberke's freezing spell!
After all, that is a large-scale magical effect that can be witnessed by the soldiers below. As for the flying sword, it is efficient and secretive enough to kill the enemy, but it is not obvious enough——

The kind that makes ordinary people feel exaggerated!
After thinking about it, Xia Duo took out a fireball wand from his portable space, and when the subsequent murlocs emerged from the water in the north and wanted to climb onto the ice, he shot it suddenly.

A blazing flame bead smaller than an ordinary person's eyeball appeared at the tip of the wand, and as soon as it appeared, it flew towards the big fish head with a low buzzing sound.

If it is used by a non-mage, it probably depends on each person's aiming skills, but the magic wand is used in the hands of a mage, especially in the hands of an arcanist like Shaduo, it is still possible to make minor corrections to the effective path of the spell .

No, the blazing flame ball hit the murloc's head accurately, and then a large group of nearly incandescent flames burst out, burning the murloc's head instantly.

And the influence of this spell is far more than that, the large group of incandescent flames continued to spread, spreading to the entire river channel more than ten meters wide.

Immediately afterwards, a large cloud of dense water vapor rose up, and even the ice surface created by Eberke on the river before was lost.

The other murlocs near the murloc directly hit by the fireball technique didn't feel any better either. Maybe their bodies could still remain intact, but the big head was all scorched black.

It stopped moving after seeing it, and was dragged into the water by the surviving murlocs further back.

A fireball shot only killed four or five murlocs. Xia Duo saw it and felt pain in his heart. Fortunately, this wand was not prepared by him himself, but the combat supplies distributed by the Seven Towers when he was in the green plane.

When he and Nya left the Green Field, although the resonance spell book was taken away, the wand, scroll and even the battle robe similar to the elf sword suit were also left to them.

Magic wands are disposable items, and their shelf life is far less than that of ordinary magic items. Xia Duo will not have too many opportunities to use the magic wand in the future. If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, he would even keep the wand until it expired.

The real value of the wand lies in the concentrated burst of a large number of spells to achieve a specific purpose.

For example, now, if Xia Duochao was rich and purchased a large number of magic wands, he could distribute them to soldiers who could use magic items and let them clean up the murlocs with magic wands.

But obviously, Xia Duo didn't have that much money, so he could use it for himself, and if he distributed it in large quantities, he would have more than enough money.

……

Next, Xia Duo fired more than a dozen fireballs one after another, each of which could attract the soldiers to cheer in unison, and the dense fireball explosion even vaporized the Wolfburg River for a while.

When the large expanse of water vapor meets the cold air above, a drizzle with a very small coverage area falls on this battlefield area.

As for the murlocs, during this period, it was naturally impossible to launch any effective attacks.

Xia Duo didn't stop until all the spells stored in the wand in his hand were used up. His morale was indeed boosted, but the money was also used up.

As for the actual battle results, it was almost negligible. It seemed that there were a lot of kills, but with the continuous replenishment of murlocs in the north, it was no different from killing one.

As Xia Duo said to O'Brien before, there must be a reason for these endless murlocs, and only by figuring out the reason can we really get in touch with the crisis of the murloc tide.

No matter what the reason is, if there are really many murlocs, then kill them until they are few. If something is continuously creating murlocs, then destroy the source.

Xia Duo still has some understanding of the situation in the Mecht River. Although it is the murloc farm of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to actually accommodate so many murlocs.

It is impossible for the ecology of the entire Wolfburg River to maintain such a large number of murlocs.

Therefore, Xia Duo guessed that there must be a source that is continuously producing murlocs, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain the phenomenon that murlocs are all over the river, densely packed like sardine cans.

Fortunately, although the murloc is an amphibious creature, it is more aquatic and cannot leave the water for a long time. If it can run around like a lizard, then this problem will be too big.

Perhaps another fish-shaped goblin.

Thinking of the manpower and financial resources that Savile Town spends on cleaning up goblins every year, Xia Duo has a headache. The territory guards in Savile Territory can almost be said to be born to clean up goblins.

As long as it is not cleaned up for a period of time, it is easy to flood, and even if it is cleaned up regularly like now, and adventurer tasks are issued at the same time for adventurers to clean up, the goblins are still not killed.

Xia Duo realized that even if the crisis of the murloc tide is resolved, there may be a kind of murloc mobs that cannot be cleaned up in the southern border and even the Nether territory connected by the Wolfburg River!
Just like a goblin, although it may not cause much damage, who will pay for the management cost!
Thinking about it this way, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce really committed crimes!
It's not good to raise fish people anywhere, you have to get the main plane, and you have to raise them in your own country.

Of course, the source of the fish farmers in the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce--the Arcanist Horn of the Zilan Tower must also bear certain responsibilities!

It's a pity that Xia Duo can't afford to offend either the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce or the Grand Arcanist Horn, let alone force them to pay compensation.

We can only regard them as common victims, and turn our finger on the common enemy, who is also the most direct culprit of this incident. Obviously, except for the elves, Xia Duo does not make other guesses.

The murlocs in Lake Mechter might be free from the control of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, but Xia Duo passed through Lake Mecht shortly after the snowmelt competition.

At that time, although the murlocs showed signs of getting out of control, they were quickly dealt with by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

It has been less than a year since that incident, how could those murlocs give birth to so many naturally for no reason, so that they filled the section of the river from Lake Mecht to Savile Territory!
There must be external forces interfering!

As for the external forces, the elves are almost the only ones. Besides the elves, who would dare to provoke a great arcanist from the Seven Towers in Netheril?
These murlocs were directly raised by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, but they were raised by Horn in the final analysis. Xia Duo couldn't believe that Horn really didn't have any emotions when this happened.

……

At this time, the perception field of Niya's detection spell finally arrived at Mecht Lake, and the perception information was also received by Xia Duo through the soul link.

He put his perception into Niya's perspective, and in an instant, he "seeed" the current appearance of Mecht Lake, no, more precisely, he couldn't see the current appearance of Mecht Lake.

Because, today's Mecht Lake is entirely shrouded in a strange green light!

This green light is not like normal colored light. Even if it interferes with the line of sight, it can still penetrate. This green light is more like glow and fog.

It can't help but interfere with normal sight, and even interfere with magical vision, making it difficult for people to discover its internal secrets.
