Chapter two hundred and eighty eight evil mermaid
Lin Han ran to the Magic Tower. During the period of monster tides, he had nothing to do, so he simply entered the Magic Tower to practice.
The city of the Holy Land is gone without Lin Han, but with its huge inertia, it is developing rapidly every minute and every second!
The city wall was pushed down due to the expansion of the urban area, and the planning process of the city wall was temporarily stopped.
Outside the city, the mercenaries on holiday were not idle. They were in groups of three or five, actively scattering in the wild to hunt monsters, collect herbs, and dig ore.
In the large quarry formed, with the influx of thousands of labor, the stones mined every hour are constantly rising, and they are almost reaching the mining limit of the quarry, and they must be upgraded urgently!
Enough engineers also accelerated the construction of large buildings in the city, and there were even several landmark buildings. Construction started at the same time. Just waiting for Lin Han to come back, he could surprise him!
In the market, looking at the commercial guild built in the distance, a middle-aged businessman in brocade clothes said with a complicated expression: "The rapid development speed can attract the sacred commercial guild in our businessmen to come here to build the guild base. Judging from the scale, I am afraid that it is at least an intermediate guild!"
"The intermediate guild can already provide auction houses and bulk strategic materials trade, but the guild actually likes the city of the Holy Land!" Next to the middle-aged merchant, a man with a ponytail, wrinkled his nose like an eagle, and was shocked.
"Yes, I'm quite interested..." The middle-aged businessman touched his chin, his eyes flashing with strange light: "It seems that the rumors that the Holy Land City has received strong support from the Moon Clan are not groundless!"
"We must report it to Lord Desperate!"
"At a chaotic world, we must not allow the Yue clan to have such strong support to stop the master's plan!" When the middle-aged businessman mentioned this, his sharp aura was almost overflowing.
But the green-haired man was a little dissatisfied: "I heard that their city lord is just an adventurer, an assassin who is less than 30 levels. Even if he is the best among adventurers, what is it for Lord Desperate?"
"Be careful, after all..." The middle-aged businessman looked a little strange: "In the chaotic times, order collapses and laws are chaotic, everything may happen. This is a good opportunity for our Lord to change the world, but it is also a rare opportunity for these adventurers to get away with!"
"By the way, you are in the Sky City, but I heard that this Holy Land City has a grudge against that Red Dragon?"
"Yes." The young man nodded. He often went to and from the Sky City. As an indigenous person, he was also a well-informed businessman. In addition, he had business dealings with the Red Dragon family, so he naturally knew some secrets: "The City of the Holy Land has brought two hundred people to break the heart of a castle of the Red Dragon family."
"And, I'm ready to wait for the monster tide to pass and break another one!"
"Oh?" When the middle-aged businessman heard the heart of the castle, he wanted to say that he was not shocked. It was fake. He only hated that the heart of the castle was prepared for adventurers, and he and others had no blessing to save him. What's more, the place where the heart of the castle was reported was a secret realm outside the sky, a mysterious place that legends could not even climb!
"Hmph, since that's the case, then contact the Red Dragon Family and tell the adventurers that you have some war weapons and architectural drawings for sale!"
"No need for honor or reputation, just sell it at the price in the black market!" The middle-aged businessman thought for a while and added.
"I understand." The young man nodded slightly, thinking about how to make a sum of money from the Black Red Dragon family. After dealing with those players, he found that these adventurers were simply stupid, with a lot of money, and quickly came to cheat the group. If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to sell special items to make more money, he felt that he was really calling the word "merchant"!
Outside the city of the Holy Land, beside the rolling river.
The simple port has been built by a group of civilians who have moved here. When Lin Han knows and orders to provide resources, this place can immediately become the original form of a real large port. By then, various caravans along the river will probably come to the Sanctuary City to open up this new market.
Water trade has always been twice as much as land trade. The inventory space of a transport ship is almost equivalent to 20 carriages! The maintenance cost is lower than that of carriages. It can be said that if there is water trade, some merchants and business associations from afar will also get up and come to this city of the holy land!
At this moment, Wang Ping, who was staying in the Holy Land City, hurried here with Tang Long and a few mercenaries.
Wang Ping could not communicate with the indigenous people, but the information flashed in the castle hall was still clear.
After learning from the flashing red message that a monster outside the city appeared to harass residents whom the group leader attached great importance to, Wang Ping immediately rushed to put out the fire without hesitation.
"Damn, these guys are mermaids!"
When he arrived at the riverside, Tang Long widened his eyes and looked at the monster playing next to the port.
Those monsters have fish tails, similar to ordinary people, and are divided into men and women. However, although their figures are slender and smooth, their appearance is... they are as nauseous as they are.
Several mercenaries were used to seeing the world, but seeing that these facial features in front of them were absolutely non-mainstream, with nostrils and eye sockets as big as skeletons, and their lips were opened to reveal black fangs, they all felt a swelling of discomfort in their stomachs.
"Damn, these mermaids are too weird!" Tang Long murmured: "The number seems to be more than one hundred. Captain Wang, are we going to drive out these disgusting guys now?"
"Wait for the time being!" Wang Ping stopped Tang Long and stared at the mermaids and said, "There is a big river behind them. Who knows if there are any reinforcements behind them?"
"Okay." Tang Long nodded silently. After pausing for a few seconds, he widened his eyes and shouted: "Look, those mermaids are building a house."
"Um?"
When Wang Ping heard this, he saw that there were already several strong mermaids on the riverside fiddling with triangular huts similar to wild tents, and the material seemed to be a kind of water plants.
"Caowu!"
A mermaid with a little loose skin, slid its tail, raised the dead wood staff in its hand, and shouted. All the mermaids who were playing stopped suddenly, surrounded the old mermaid, and began to whine rhythmically together.
Wang Ping was puzzled, but he felt the keen sense of the extremely strange aura gathering above the mermaids, and quickly ordered a mercenary to go back and summon the mercenaries to set aside.
Soon, before the mercenaries came, a group of cavalry arrived first.
Aberkeley, as an old cavalry in the Unicorn Town, also joined him with his men. As a battlefield veteran, after arriving in the City of the Holy Land, he was recruited by Lin Han because of the activation of his heroic attributes and became the first indigenous hero in the City of the Holy Land.
As a hero, he is only responsible for Lin Han. At the same time, as a hero, his commandership is able to command some soldiers as combat power without consuming Lin Han's commander.
Of course, at the cost of equality, the soldiers of commander Abbotkeley cannot rely on Lin Han's resources to upgrade, and even the skills and equipment are limited by the military profession, making it difficult to have a lot of room for growth.
But it has to be said that the arrival of the hero Abbotley helped Lin Han a great favor, which made Lin Han worry about the possible security problems that might arise as the town expands and was pressed to death in the cradle before he was born.
Abrekeley is a cavalry hero who has bonuses in command of cavalry. After Lin Han gave enough military expenditure, he led up to 300 cavalrymen who fought for the rest of his life, firmly controlling the security of the entire Sacred Land City within a good range.
When he heard that the mercenary was landing, Aberkeley came with 100 cavalrymen. He noticed the lurking mercenaries and glanced at Wang Ping a few more times, but because of their disagreement, Aberkeley did not say hello to Wang Ping.
"It's those cavalry!" Tang Long couldn't help but speak when he saw Abbotley.
"Well, I saw it, huh? They are... attacking formation." Wang Ping frowned slightly.
This is also the lack of common sense among the people on earth, which makes Wang Ping and others completely unclear about mermaids. If the other party is a werewolf or something, perhaps before Abrekeley came over, Wang Ping himself would become a diamond dragon warrior and then kill him.
Although Lin Han popularized some common sense, he forgot to submit common sense to aquatic monsters to Wang Ping and others because of his contempt for the riverside.
This makes Wang Ping, as the leader of the regiment, tend to be conservative in choosing whether to fight or not.
But Aberkeley is also an old man. This time he became a hero in the Holy Land City, and his status and power have increased greatly, making him particularly cherish this Holy Land City that gave him his precious origin. When he saw that the visitor was the notorious mermaid clan, he immediately set up a cone formation without saying a word and prepared to charge.
Mermaids are variants of the mermaid clan and they may be encountered both by the sea and near the river.
As aquatic monsters, mermaids’ favorite food is carnivorous, which makes many creatures, including humans, appear on their menus.
At the same time, the mermaid has a very bad reputation, that is, Yin Chao.
They are very interested in human-shaped females, both men and women, and often play with female prisoners to death. They are cruel and easy to kill by nature, making them ranked among the top 10 of the list of the most critical killing races in the human kingdom.
They climbed the riverside and prepared to set up camp, which was absolutely unforgivable for Abbotley.
If the mermaids discovered a large number of carnivorous and humanoid females nearby, Aberkeley would know that these mermaids would do this next.
They will gather more of their kind and launch a siege against the Sanctuary City during this monster tide!
But the mermaids are not weak races. Among them, there are a large number of mages, and many summoners can summon many water elements as thugs.
In the ancient history of the Shenxiang Continent, there are many examples of weak towns recorded by mermaids who were looted by the river and then declined from then on!
"Brothers, you should all be angry when you see the city of the Holy Land like me." Abrekeley raised the battle flag, and the inverted triangular cavalry battle flag with a red charge knight embroidered in the white middle of the main body fluttered in the wind, as if echoing Abrekeley's call: "We thanked the grace of Your Highness, so that we can survive in the town of Unicorns and have expectations for the future!"
"But now, there is a notorious mermaid in front of us. This is a bandit and villain among a group of monsters!"
"Brothers, please use your strength to give me and work with me to defend our homeland!"
"Long live the city of the Holy Land!"
"charge!"
