For most coastal residents, the invasion of the sea tribe is the most terrifying disaster, even more terrifying than the tsunami.
The so-called sea tribe refers to those among the ocean residents who believe in the goddess of the ocean, are hostile to land creatures, and aim to kill all land creatures and turn the continent into a sea of blood. They come from various sources, with the two largest branches being murlocs and krakens.
There are many kinds of creatures in the sea, generally divided into two camps. A group that honors the long-lost goddess of life as its mother, is controlled by those powerful demigod creatures, and lives in the oceans and deep seas. They call themselves the "people of the sea", and their main pillar race is the mermaid. There are many seniors in the race who have lived from ancient times to the present, and have even witnessed the birth and death of many gods. The predecessor of "Raging Tide" Heimsala and "Undertow" Timsar, the powerful demigod "Living Tsunami" Salament who failed to become a god and split, is one of them, and he is respected as " One of the existences of "Aquaman".
The other branch is naturally the so-called "Sea Clan".
In terms of their relationship with land creatures, the people of the sea generally hold a neutral or even friendly attitude. On the one hand, this is because their strong strength gives them sufficient confidence, and on the other hand, because their living environment is far away from the land, and they are far away from each other. There is no competition for living space.
The sea tribe is completely opposite. They mostly live in offshore and shallow seas, competing with land creatures for living space, and are extremely contradictory to each other. In addition, most of their individual strength is relatively weak, and they often suffer losses in small-scale conflicts. Therefore, the hatred accumulates, and eventually all land creatures are regarded as mortal enemies.
The earliest sea goddess was originally a neutral nature god, but because she accepted the beliefs of the sea people, she was slowly eroded by hatred, her alignment continued to shift, and eventually she became an evil god.
Every once in a while, the sea goddess will pass down an oracle, asking the sea people to gather on a certain section of coastline, and then attack the land, killing all land creatures in sight.
This is the Sea Tribe invasion.
In the sea invasion, the stragglers were not scary. What was truly scary were the elite troops led by the strong men of the sea. They have no interest in scattered civilians, but are keen to attack towns and villages. Every time they capture a place, they will gather all the prisoners, dig a big hole in the ground, squeeze out all their blood, and fill it up. This pit, and then go down to bathe in order of merit, using this cruel ritual to please the goddess of the sea.
Once a town is captured by them, they will either die in battle, escape, or become the material of a blood pool. There are no more possibilities.
In the past years, the Sea Tribe has invaded Gars City more than once. Although they have never really been able to break through this big city that the Riley family has worked so hard to manage, it has always brought serious suffering to the residents of Gars, so much so that many people have turned pale after hearing about the Hai Clan.
At this moment, a war is breaking out in the city. The city lord and his daughter, who believe in the Harvest Goddess, and Young Master Sheen, who somehow believes in the Swamp Goddess, each lead their men and fight fiercely. Even all the forces in the city are involved. Do you have enough energy left to help defend against the invasion of the Sea Clan
Without them, who had been the core force of the defense force in the past, and without the magic array that had been painstakingly built with a lot of money, just those ordinary soldiers, plus some passionate adventurers, could really stop the Sea Tribe. Invasion
Lei was not sure at all, but he felt that he had to stay and fight hard to buy more time for those who were fleeing.
Liv originally wanted to stay and fight with him, but he persuaded her to leave.
"You still have to take care of Little Nisi." He said, "Your mother is pretty good, but there is no way she can take care of Little Nisi. Steele is unreliable... so I can only rely on you."
The girl wanted to argue at that time, but Lei's face turned serious, his eyes widened, and he blocked her words with authority.
"Liv, are you a knight? If you are a knight, you must execute the order!" He waved his hand and pointed at the messy refugee team, "As your teacher, I give you a task to try to maintain the order of this team. Allowing them to retreat more efficiently."
"But... I..."
"There is no 'but' in the knight's dictionary!" Lei shouted loudly, "Rank, Teague, Steele, you help her, do you understand?"
Rank immediately obeyed the order and drew his sword to prepare to assist Liv in the battle; Mrs. Teague was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head to accept the order; Steele frowned, appearing reluctant, but in the end she did not refuse. .
So Liv's whereabouts were decided. The girl's eyes were slightly red, but she tried hard to cheer up. She shouted, scolded, punched and kicked, and lashed out with the scabbard, trying her best to restore order in the crowd. She even drew her sword and killed a gangster who wanted to take advantage of the chaos on the spot. She wielded the long sword dripping with blood like a shepherd driving her sheep, trying to make the refugees obey and not mess up, and pointed the sword at her. Retreat in the direction pointed by the front.
"She did a good job." Lei clasped his hands on his chest and looked at the scene from a distance with a satisfied smile. "I didn't expect that this little girl really has some commander-in-chief abilities!"
"It seems right if you think about it carefully. Knight Parn is a talent valued by His Majesty, a person who is worthy of serving as a secular lord of the Holy Land. His daughter inherited his bloodline and received his teachings since childhood. How could she be just a warrior? Maybe she The real talent is not in swordsmanship, but in leadership..."
After sighing, he turned around and drew his sword.
"This is really not a battle with a chance of winning... but it is very exciting!"
In the distant port, as the tide approaches, countless fishmen are waving crude weapons and rushing towards them with strange screams. They are in a chaotic mess, with no order at all, but their huge number is enough to scare every warrior who tries to resist them.
Not to mention, there are also a large number of relatively powerful elites such as murloc priests, murloc warriors, and murloc chiefs, who play a controlling role among them. At first glance, the murloc team looks chaotic, but if you look closely, you will find that there are many relatively disciplined groups among them, slowly advancing among the chaotic army.
"Using miscellaneous fish to cover elites is a common tactic used by fish people." The old sergeant came over and said to him, "Thank you for joining. I really didn't expect that an adventurer who just came here not long ago would actually be willing to Risking your life to help us.”
"No one with a righteous mind can turn a blind eye to the massacre that is about to happen." Ray replied, "Especially... after I failed to prevent another massacre that happened not long ago."
The old sergeant was silent for a moment and asked: "What's going on over there in the square?"
"I can only tell you what I saw and what I guessed. I can't guarantee whether it's correct or not."
"Please speak."
"First of all, Master Sheen seems to be a believer of the Swamp God, and he has a very high status. He feels that he may be a chosen one." Ray said, "Although he doesn't seem to want to, his status makes him unable to refuse the Swamp God." God’s command.”
The old sergeant's eyes widened, his mouth widened, and his face looked dull.
Just this "first" calmed him down. He never dreamed that the future successor of the Riley family, which has believed in the Harvest Goddess for generations and most of its family members hold important positions in the Harvest Goddess Church, would be the chosen one of the Swamp God!
It's like the leader of the cat group turned into a dog, or the king of the daughter country turned out to be a man. It's so ridiculous!
"Then, during the ceremony, he got angry and summoned the clone of the Swamp God to come." Lei said, "Probably using the clone dropped by the god's envoy. That huge slime monster looked nothing like it. It’s a clone of a god, it’s too cheap.”
The old sergeant nodded blankly, completely unaware of the disrespect in Lei's tone.
"Then, He Li was eaten by a slime monster; the slime monster that ate her launched a large-scale attack, turning almost all the spectators in the square who had not had time to escape into slime; the city lord broke out, severely injuring Sheen; En was possessed by the swamp god, and the city lord who couldn't defeat the slime monster burned his life to summon the incarnation of the harvest goddess to come; He Li's soul turned into a divine creature and led the survivors to fight the slime monster." Lei said as briefly as possible. Describing what happened in the square, "Right now, there's still fighting over there."
The old sergeant was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.
"I didn't understand," he said.
Lei smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Even I, a person who has witnessed it personally, can't figure out what's going on, let alone you!"
"But I know what I should do now." The old sergeant shook his head, driving out the confused thoughts caused by hearing those inexplicable things, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what happens in the square, I am a Coast Guard. I have only one responsibility, which is to resist the invasion of the Sea Clan and protect Gars City!"
Lei smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "That's right... But do you have any good ideas? If we just fight like this, we have little chance of winning!"
"A way? It's weird if there is a way! To be honest, I'm not optimistic about this battle at all!" The old noncommissioned officer, whose hair was about one-third gray, muttered, "But I have to fight even if there is no other way! I have been fighting in Gal since I was a child. Having grown up in Sicheng, he can be considered a noble after all. You can't just turn around and run away at the critical moment, handing your back to the enemy... "
As he spoke, he suddenly bent his bow and nocked an arrow. The sharp arrow whizzed out and shot a gorgeously dressed young man to death on the side of the road.
The young man probably saw that he was talking to Lei just now and thought that he didn't notice him and wanted to sneak away.
"Article 1 of the Garth Coast Guard Military Regulations: Anyone who escapes from battle shall be killed!"
The old sergeant's voice suddenly turned cold, like the north wind in the cold winter, which made people tremble: "I know that many of you were sent by your elders to gild, and I also know that you usually idle around, are lazy, and deceive the superiors and subordinates... those are all It’s not important, but now is the time for the Sea Clan to invade. Why did you encounter this kind of thing during your tenure? It’s because this is your fate!”
"So don't complain to me, let alone have stupid thoughts like running away! All you can do is to hold your weapons and fight!"
"I don't want to hear any excuses from you, and I don't care about them. I am only responsible for two things - firstly, even if I risk my life, I cannot let the Sea Tribe rush over and start a massacre; secondly, if someone wants to escape , I will kill him!"
He looked around coldly. Although he was only a non-commissioned officer with a low military rank, he had a terrifying aura like a giant dragon at this moment.
"Now, prepare to fight!"
