Struggle in the Steam Age

Just a dozen seconds after the specially enchanted shells hit the two monsters, the two giant hermit crabs first trembled all over, and then they couldn't support the weight of their bodies and fell down on their legs.

The last two monsters shook more and more on the spot, and their claws began to wave wildly in the air, so that the murlocs who kept rushing to the shore had to avoid the giant monsters that might have been used as cover for their activities. paw.

In fact, these murlocs wanted to hide behind the two monsters to resist the constant bullets from the shore, but those shells fed by the dolls directly drove the two monsters crazy, and they couldn't help it at all. Distinguish between friend and foe.

After their claws wiped out the surrounding murlocs, the other murlocs would rather eat bullets for a few more minutes in the shallow sea than get close to the two giant sea monsters.

Nice job. Lawrence shook his fist and turned to the artillerymen. Then let's shoot freely, and give priority to attacking the enemy's gathering place and the opposing officers. Now those heavy mortars can't maintain their normal firing speed for the time being to hide, so the heavy firepower depends on you.

After speaking, Lawrence and the others returned to the upper part of the fortress to observe the entire battlefield. As a result, he found that the sahuagin might be aware of the power of Lawrence's heavy firepower, so he made some simple adjustments before. Now the opponent's army rushed upwards scattered in a state of scattered soldiers.

But this still didn't lead to any breakthrough, because the plants hidden on the hillside were activated by the priests of the Church of Agriculture just as they entered the bushes.

. Although at that time, considering that the area to be defended was too large, these plants used some low-level plants. But whether it was slippery moss, tough grass vines or brambles with paralyzing or painful venom, they all greatly slowed down the murlocs' footsteps.

And this sudden reduction in speed on the battlefield is fatal to the murlocs, which greatly reduces the difficulty for the fighters on Lawrence's side to shoot. Following the sound of gunfire one after another, Lawrence standing on the fort could see many murlocs rolled down the slope after being shot, and even rolled all the way to the beach.

At the same time, all the allowed artillery fired at the murlocs on the beach at a rate of fire of three shots and one point. Although the rate of fire was not fast, it also forced the murlocs to abandon all plans to charge in groups to avoid becoming the target of the artillery. But in this way, the shooting window they left for Lawrence's side was greatly increased, and they had to suffer more casualties.

Therefore, half an hour after the war started, the murlocs had lost two behemoths and more than 3,000 warriors. If they insisted on gaining anything, they could only find out Lawrence's position on the entire mountain range through massive losses. Adequate defenses have been set up, and the places that looked weak before are all traps.

What should we do next? At this time, several sand lake murloc nobles gathered behind a rock in the sea and discussed with bitter faces. Although they were only a forward force, they wanted to scout the peninsula defense by sacrificing their lives. But the loss of more than half in just half an hour is also beyond the limit they can bear.

Did those two hermit crabs figure out how they died? said the sahuagin nobleman who had a long string of pinball-sized pearl necklaces around his neck during the meeting, If you don't figure this out, I think Everyone should be afraid to rush upwards.

Apparently, those murlocs were shocked by the shells enchanted by Nora before, that's why the superhumans among the murlocs didn't advance with the team but stayed behind. As a result, the murlocs who lost their command and rushed to the shore in a panic naturally suffered such a heavy loss.

It may be because the opponent used some undead magic to attach to the shell. A sahuagin nobleman said, Because I opened the shells of the two giant hermit crabs from the rear just now, and found that their bodies were completely Rotten, like dead for over a week or so. And it's kind of like a necromantic effect.

The effect is very similar? A murloc nobleman wearing a coral crown on his head said dissatisfiedly, Is there no way to determine this thing? I think undead spells should not be that difficult to identify. No. Why do you add so many uncertain words similar to possible in the report.

Because the test results are very strange. The murloc nobleman who was questioned said, Judging from the severely decomposed body structure in the giant hermit crab, it should be caused by undead magic, because only undead magic can have this effect. But After checking with several priests, we found no trace of undead magic.

Damn it. Then how should we fight? After hearing the report, the leading murloc looked angry, This shows that the enemy can either use some kind of unprecedented and extremely powerful undead magic, or possess some unknown power. If we are targeted, we may not escape death.

But I don't seem to have seen these magics appear for the second time. Said the sahuagin nobleman who went out to inquire about the situation before, So those people on the ground either only have a small number of such magic items, or the one who masters these magic items It is more troublesome for people with this kind of power to release this magic. Therefore, I think it should not be able to cause too much harm to us.

I think it should be— the sand lake murloc nobleman wearing a red coral crown sarcastically said, Hei Lin, can't you confirm a little bit, what kind of thing can you only use such words to guess? ? You must know that your conjecture is just a matter of talking, but we have to work hard to verify it.

Do you think I don't want to verify? After all, I'm going to charge soon. The murloc named Hei Lin broke out after being questioned, so he stood up and shouted. But now there are no other samples other than these two giant hermit crabs. You asked me to confirm this. Besides, when I was analyzing the samples one by one at the front line, you shrank back, and now you are plausible here, you still Do you have a conscience—

Okay, shut up. Hearing his subordinates arguing, the leader of the murloc noble with a pearl necklace around his neck stopped the noise below, and when everyone present shut their mouths and looked at him, he assigned Mission arrived. Red Head, Black Scale, each of you bring a group of elites to test and see how many cards the other party has. But remember that this is just a test, if you find something wrong, you can withdraw it. For us, information is far more important than killing a few The enemy is more important.

Understood. Understood. The lower third of the murloc nobles agreed, then stood up and divided into two groups to walk out of the space under the reef. Ten minutes later, these murloc nobles led several teams and began to approach the coast, preparing to launch an assault.

The opponent is really too cunning. At this time, Lawrence said in the fortress at the tip of the peninsula, because now the murlocs are attacking the shore continuously in a skirmish formation, and if they fire, they will hit at most. Killing a few murlocs is not worth it at all, but the overall number of the opponents is not small, and it is difficult to completely stop them simply by shooting with guns.

So after changing tactics, scattered murlocs had already approached Lawrence's position, and even successfully approached to a distance of more than ten meters from the trench. If it weren't for the shooting of the Ratman sharpshooters, they might have entered the trench and fought hand-to-hand with Lawrence's army.

The sahuagin are not the freshwater murlocs you've seen before, they're more like humans. Nora said at this time, Fortunately, our position was carefully built in accordance with the tactical rules, and at the same time, we did a good job in all aspects. Item preparation, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

That's good. Hearing what the little puppet said, Safiel let out a long sigh of relief, After all, we have the fewest veterans in the army. To be honest, I was a little worried at first.
