Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 507: Fighting in the Gulf

Let's set the time back for about 20 minutes. At that time, the murlocs in the harbor were swiftly passing the resort and setting fire to try to create chaos. Lawrence, on the cliff at the entrance of the harbor, commanded the troops under him to stop those murloc commandos who wanted to climb up the mountain frantically.

Because of the terrain, Lawrence and the others can easily block the fish people who want to climb up. But it is difficult to eliminate the murloc squad at the entrance. When the stalemate between the two sides came to a stalemate, an accident happened suddenly.

The sentry who was looking toward the sea suddenly saw a dense cluster of fish heads suddenly appearing on the sea where there were only waves, and these fish heads were rushing toward the bay along the wind and waves.

"Enemy attack, murlocs are approaching us from the open sea." The sentry yelled loudly while shaking the alarm at hand. After hearing the sirens, Lawrence and Nora, who were still observing the fish people below, immediately ran to the edge of the cliff, and then looked at the Shahua murlocs rushing here at high speed.

Yes, the attackers here are not mixed. It is an elite team composed of pure Sahua murlocs. Considering that this time is a battle for the enemy to reveal his cards. So Lawrence can basically be sure that this elite should be true.

And those scrolls and props related to Phantom Magic purchased by the other party are not only to make some of the Sahua murlocs disguise as Lorka murlocs, but also some of them should be used to make Lorkayus disguise as Sahua murlocs on the front battlefield.

"This group of sahua fish people are crazy." After seeing the situation clearly, Nora exclaimed, "I have arranged a lot of magic defense systems around. In theory, it is impossible for the other party to be unaware of the situation. Running to a place so close to the coastline, and now this situation can only show one thing, that is, the other party has launched the magic of war through the great sacrifice."

"Great sacrifice? It seems that this group of fish people are indeed completely crazy." Lawrence also reacted to what the little doll said. As a person who grew up in the church, Lawrence was very concerned about those related to the gods. Knowledge is quite insightful. Among them is one of the core ceremonies of each church: the big sacrifice.

The so-called big sacrifice is understood in a literal sense to be a sacrifice that is more important than an ordinary sacrifice, and the actual situation is also the same. Such large-scale sacrificial rituals can often get the attention of the gods and give a series of benefits, similar to someone's extraordinary level promotion or some powerful divine props. But correspondingly, this kind of ceremony requires massive sacrifices.

Of course, the big sacrifices required by different gods are also different. Gods like those civilized races often just ask for items that condense the labor or wisdom of intelligent creatures. For example, spices, precious metals, various exquisite handicrafts or magic props. Of course, delicious food and wine are also essential.

But the large sacrifices of the evil gods worshipped by the wilderness races are more complicated than this. In addition to the above wealth, they also need to kill a lot of lives to please the gods.

Considering that the group of sahua fishes in front of them attacked the road very suddenly this time, they simply didn't have time to hunt enough sacrifices. So this time they are likely to use the group of Loka murlocs they are unwilling to cooperate with in the sacrificial ceremony.

For example, for the gods worshipped by the Sahua people, offering sacrifices to the hungry and crazy shark **** Sekra is not just some magical shelter, but also his cautious gaze. If the Sahua people do not satisfy him, he will definitely punish the Sahua people.

That is to say, once a great sacrifice is made to the gods, then for the Sahuayu people, there will be no retreat in the next attack. If they can't satisfy their bloodthirsty spirit, the prince won't get the throne even if he wins the first place among the three teams this time, and will be executed for blasphemy.

Theoretically, a prince of a Sahua murloc would not do things as marvelously as he does now. For these noble Sahua murlocs, they only need to keep the strength in their hands. Even the person who failed to become the king this time in the election for the king could not kill them. He can spend this life as a powerful nobleman.

Therefore, the seemingly ruined approach of the opponent now makes Lawrence suspicious, thinking that this group of enemies may have some power that can directly change the situation of the battle. But no matter what he thought, following the group of sahua fish people approached along the waves. The only tactics he can choose now are random responses, and he has to do things differently.

With the rapid approach of the Shahua murlocs in the outer sea, the soldiers who had been hiding on the mountain immediately started shooting. Although the distance between these Sahua murlocs is very dense and the reason for being out of the water makes everyone's hit rate very high.

However, because of the large number of people and the fast moving speed of the Sahua people who flocked to the coastline, they rushed to the entrance of the bay with only a few casualties.

However, when the first group of Sahua murlocs rushed to the entrance of the bay, their casualties suddenly increased. Because at this time, more than 30 mortars arranged on the cliffs on both sides all fired at this shallow sea area with a water depth of only more than one meter, and a death line was constructed with red hot metal fragments flying around.

The first group of Sahua murlocs who rushed over fell under the artillery fire, while the second group of Sahua murlocs who held various shields and even had magic attached to their bodies were able to rush through this line of fire. Seeing this, the commander of the group of Sahua murlocs immediately got together and prepared to adjust the attack method.

"We can't rush like this anymore." A Sahua murloc noble officer said, "All we brought this time are core strengths. If the loss is too great, then the next plan will inevitably be severely understaffed. In this way, I worry about the task of His Royal Highness—"

"I heard that there seems to be a problem with the mission now." Just as the officer was talking nervously, he suddenly found that the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

Then a Sahua murloc wearing a gorgeous gold crown in human style swam over. "Since the soldiers can't complete the task, let the priests think of a way. They brag about how powerful their divine arts are all day long. Now it's time for them to take action."

Soon ~lightnovelpub.net~ some priests who had been hiding behind the crowd of sahua fish rushed out. Because Sahuayu people think that magic is the real spell, and they hate and fear arcane magic, so there is no arcane spell caster in their society. The Sahua murloc priests are naturally the only spellcasters among them.

But the problem is that compared with arcane arts, divine arts lack direct attack spells, let alone those that can attack remotely. Therefore, these priests can be said to be helpless when facing the artillery positions on the cliffs. For them, unless they are willing to risk their lives to climb the cliffs, they will not be able to reach the human armies on the mountain at all.

But the current prince is obviously unable to accept this answer, and because of the large sacrifices held before, the war has been directly upgraded from the original battle for the throne of the Shahua Murloc to a holy war.

Under such circumstances, the prince also naturally obtained some commanding powers that he had never had before, such as being able to execute all people who were considered unstable, even the clergy of high status.

Therefore, the Sahua murloc priests who are good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages soon thought of a way that would not be considered as a way to be neither determined nor put themselves in danger: they chose to stay away. The cast of summoning magical spells summoned a large group of flying evil creatures to fly towards Lawrence and their location.
