Chapter 179: Murlocs attack
"The left helm must be fast," Sakura shouted loudly, and the helmsman immediately acted as he said. The flagship "Royal Knight" that Roger and others rode on immediately changed the direction of their progress.
As the flagship deflected, the other ships began to turn the rudder, and then rushed into the suddenly rising thick fog.
Sakura still closed her eyes tightly, and the ancient round mirror in her hand was constantly emitting a dark blue light, exuding a mysterious aura.
Sakura's guards, Ninja Sayuri and Onmyoji Koyaki were looking around nervously. After the "Royal Knight" plunged into the thick fog, their vision began to shrink sharply, and until now they could not even see the scene ten meters away.
However, the white fog continued to thicken, and countless black shadows quickly approached the fleet under the cover of the thick fog.
"It's just that everyone has the right rudder now." Sakurahi still closed her eyes tightly, but her words were directly transmitted to all the helmsmen's ears under the influence of her instantly expanded heroic halo. There was no room for hesitation at all. All the helmsmen were almost subconsciously obeying Sakurahi's instructions and hit the right all the helmsmen.
The fleet led by the "Royal Knight" immediately changed its course again, and directly crushed the black shadows who were constantly approaching in the thick fog.
Roger, who had just rushed out of the cabin, immediately felt a slight shock in the hull, as if something had hit the bottom of the ship. Although this feeling was not strong, Roger was sure that this was not his illusion.
"What's wrong?" Nodded at Melia, who had slid down the rope from the observation deck, and Roger asked Sakura nervously.
Sakura did not reply, but just put the mirror in her hand flattened, and immediately wave-like ripples appeared on the mirror. When the ripples slowly calmed down, a strange figure had already appeared in the mirror.
The figure was very ugly, and it looked like a giant monster fish with lumps growing long hands and feet. At this moment, the figure was opening its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and swam tightly with another figure that looked similar to a huge black shadow.
But when he got closer, the figure was stunned to find that the huge black shadow was actually rushing towards them in a direction.
"Bang"
With a muffled sound, a bloody flower suddenly spread rapidly in the sea.
After hesitating for a while, hesitating for a while, hesitating toward the tail of the huge black shadow that was moving away.
"Are they really a fishman?" Roger, who felt the hull tremble again, raised his eyebrows, staring at the mirror tightly, "How long will these guys crawl onto the boat?"
"Yes, although it is not clear that these fishmen are from which clan, these fishmen are obviously coming for us." Sakura still closed her eyes tightly, but she said slowly as if she could see the expression on Roger's face. "I have avoided a surprise attack from these fishmen, but they obviously do not intend to give up. At most, fishmen will climb onto the side of the boat in a quarter of an hour."
"Is it enough for a quarter of an hour?" Roger nodded, turned around and shouted at the top of the cabin: "Wandy cooperated with me to cast the spell and let us blow away the thick fog."
"Hmph, you don't need to help me alone, you can do it." Wendy's slightly sharp voice directly penetrated the thick fog, and kept echoing in Roger's ears.
"Squeak"
Just as Wendy answered Roger loudly, Alice, who had hurriedly brought the weapon, rushed out of the cabin door. Unfortunately, Alice stepped on a wet and smooth wooden board, and then slipped directly to Roger's side.
"I'm talking to you. Be careful that the deck is very slippery." He really held Alice, who was originally planning to rush to Roger but almost slipped. Roger smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Okay, please inform your subordinates quickly and prepare to fight."
"Wait a minute, I still don't know who the enemy is." Alice, who finally stabilized her body without slipping directly with the help of Roger's "one arm's strength", immediately protested, but when she saw the figures revealed in the mirror in Sakura's hand, she immediately gritted her teeth.
"It's a fishman"
Before Roger nodded, Alice also opened the heroic halo, and her voice suddenly rang on every ship: "Everything is there, kill all these smelly fish heads for me."
Seeing Alice, who was excited and motivated, holding the Demon-Breaking Sword in her hand, Roger raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The fishman race is closer to the wild beasts without wisdom than the sea elves and Nagas, who are intelligent creatures. These guys are like hyenas on the prairie, plundering around the ocean. Whether it is sea elves or Nagas, these brainless sea tribes dare to provoke them. And once they are extremely hungry or smell the smell of blood, this tribe will even run to the land to attack the coastal villages and towns. Because of the wet skin, the fishman is closer to amphibians than fish, allowing these fish people to move on land at will in a short time, which makes the fishman more harmful to the human towns than those of Nagas.
The small villages and towns near Shangdu Xikeld, which belongs to the coastal city, are often attacked by the fishmen, and each time they cause a lot of trouble to the small villages and towns. For this reason, the mercenary unions and adventurers unions in Shangdu Xikeld have always hung tasks such as "suppressing fishmen".
Such a race is a rare race that is wanted by both land and sea races. It is a kind of low-class person who absolutely does not love grandma.
However, what makes scholars very confused is that although they really want to position the fishman clan as a sea beast rather than a sea clan, some individuals with higher intelligence will appear in the fishman clan from time to time. These fishman with good brains are like ogres magicians among ogres and kogres magicians among kobolds. They are born with the ability to call tides and are called "tide warlocks" by scholars.
This made the fishman finally classified as a member of the sea tribe.
The current heavy fog is the work of the fish heads who can call for the sea tide. The sudden attack on the thick fog is one of the only simple tactics that those long-witted fish warlocks can come up with.
Under Alice's order, there was a clear noise from all ships, including the flagship "Royal Knight", and the alchemists spontaneously formed a small team and slowly walked to the side of the ship, waiting for the fish to emerge.
"call"
At this moment, the hurricane brought by Wendy also arrived at the right time. The roaring hurricane quickly completely blew away the not-so-thick layer of fog. Although there were some scattered fog on the sea in the distance, it no longer affected the crew's vision.
Seeing that the troublesome fog finally dissipated, cheers came from all the ships. However, the cheers were just halfway through, and they turned into shouts and swords.
The fisherman has webbed hands and feet, which allows the fisherman to move quickly in the water. However, when the fisherman tries to climb to the hull, the four open fingers and webbed membrane will form a structure similar to a suction cup, allowing the fisherman to easily climb on the hull and approach the ship's side quietly.
As the fog was blown away, the fishmen warriors who had successfully climbed to the hull were discovered by the soldiers guarding the side of the ship. The soldiers who had obtained Alice's order immediately launched an attack on these "fish heads". The injured fish kept screaming and falling on the sea one by one, dyeing the nearby sea surface red.
Some fishmen who avoided the attack jumped up from the boat and tried to jump onto the boat. Of course, their fate was often cut into several sections by the long swords of the infantry. So the unique fishy smell of the fishermen mixed with the smell of blood and quickly spread on the boat.
However, the troubles of the fishman race have just been revealed
Fish heads are constantly emerging on the sea, similar to low-powered races such as goblins and kowtowers. The fishman clan also has a terrible reproductive ability. Often a small tribe can easily have tens of thousands of fishman
Of course, small tribes will definitely not be able to support so many fishmen. So these fishmen will go out to "hun" under the leadership of the fishmen leader or tide warlocks.
Fortunately, the strength of the fishman is generally low, and they usually only hover around the first and second level. Those fishman elites who can successfully upgrade to above the third level will soon become the guards of important figures in the clan, such as the patriarch of the fishman clan or the tide warlocks, these elite fishmans are indispensable around them.
Now, the fishmen who appeared in front of Roger and his party were all the lowest cannon fodder of the first and second level, and they seemed quite vulnerable to the lowest and fourth level human race and the elemental race legion. However, after seeing the blood, the fishmen gradually became crazy. They began to throw the stone spear and bone spear in their hands directly at the soldiers on the side of the ship, and when they hit the boat gang, they began to thump.
These fishmen who are closer to the wild beasts are certainly not angry because of the death of their companions, but because of the stimulation of the bloody smell, the remaining fishmen become even more bloodthirsty and hungry.
The fish that were spitting saliva began to charge towards the fleet frantically. From time to time, fishmen jumped out of the sea and hit the boat head-on. Under the crazy offensive of the fishmen, the soldiers' defense began to appear loopholes. From time to time, stronger fishmen successfully climbed onto the side of the ship and launched an attack on the soldiers.
"Ding", "Ding", "Ding"
A sound of footsteps slowly came from the cabin, and Ke'er, who had a cold face, walked out of the cabin. The cold air brought by her body made the nearby soldiers subconsciously make a way out. Some sharp-eyed soldiers even felt incredible to find that the originally slippery deck actually freezes directly.
Ke'er glanced coldly around and noticed the actions of these crazy fishman warriors, and slowly showed a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
"Are you guys making noise?" Ke'er's voice was not high, but it echoed in everyone's ears very clearly. Roger, who was puzzled, suddenly looked at Ke'er at the hatch of the ship in surprise.
This is the first time he saw Keer who is so angry.
"The element of water, follow my orders and gather in front of me." Ke'er began to sing loudly. The heroic certificate on her body also emitted dazzling blue light.
The water elemental ball of water slowly floated out of Roger's body, slowly emitting the same dark blue light, echoing the water element fluctuations caused by Keer. Roger's face was very strange and found that the elemental language that he could not understand at all was now somewhat understandable.
To be precise, it’s not that I understand it, but that I understand the meaning of it for no reason.
Because he was fascinated by Ke's elemental speech, Roger did not notice it. Sakura, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the water elemental ball floating quietly beside Roger, her eyes full of shock: the breath of the mother god
"Show the sea element" With Keer's final slap, the sea surface around the "Royal Knight" suddenly boiled, and tall sea blue water elements suddenly emerged.
It is the sea element to be continued.
