"Ha!" Lei shouted softly, swung his long sword, and cut the three or four murlocs around him into two pieces together with their crude weapons. Without stopping, he broke into another group of murlocs in the blink of an eye, only to Seeing the flash of sword light, the bluish blood of the fishmen instantly flowed all over the ground. The menacing fishmen who were screaming and howling just now died immediately on the ground.

There were several soldiers there who were being besieged and were in danger. With his rescue, they finally escaped. They wanted to thank the knight, but found that Lei had already left without stopping at all.

Looking in the direction in which the knight, whose leather armor had been stained blue by blood, came, he could see the ground was littered with countless dead murlocs. And if someone looks down from the sky, they can see that there seems to be an extra blood line in the murloc army, separating the troops that are following up from the troops that are fighting with the coastal defense forces.

Lei ran quickly on the battlefield, swinging his sword like the wind, and everywhere he passed was a bloody mess. I don’t know how long I have been killing, but my eyes suddenly opened up, but I have already killed through the entire battlefield.

Only then did he have time to take a breath and turned around, only to see that the ferocious and violent murlocs had been frightened by his power, with a look of fear on their ugly faces.

When he once again brandished his sword and rushed into the battlefield, the fish people finally couldn't control the fear in their hearts and ran away screaming.

Only...a battlefield littered with corpses was left.

"Nice job!" The old sergeant, who was also covered in blood, wiped his beard, but felt his hands full of blood. He wiped the blood off his clothes with disgust, and raised his thumbs to Lei, "As expected. A hero who can capture a three-headed basilisk alive all by himself!"

Lei smiled, shook off the blood on the sword, wiped the sword, and put it back into its sheath.

"This is just an appetizer, the big head is still behind!"

The old sergeant nodded, looked at the murloc army forming on the shore of the port in the distance, and sighed softly.

"Why are there so many of these damn things!"

The soldiers and adventurers nearby all agreed heartily. Looking at the countless dead fishmen on the ground, if it were placed on other battlefields, it would already be called a victorious massacre, but if it were placed on the Sea Tribe In the invasion battle, this could only be considered as repelling the first wave of murloc vanguards at best.

Even the most confident and brave people cannot be optimistic at all when they see the endless murloc army in the distance.

The murloc team is always in chaos, because the ordinary murlocs who occupy the main body of the team cannot understand what order is. Chaos is their nature. Only those elite troops who are strong enough to resist instinct can maintain a certain order - roughly The level of human children pretending to be soldiers after playing.

In terms of individual strength, the fishmen are not strong. Even a "strong man" like the fishman chief is only at the level of a fledgling adventurer. For experienced adventurers, it is simply not worth mentioning.

However, the huge number of fishmen completely makes up for the lack of individual combat power. An adult female fishman can lay eggs once a year, and she can lay about a thousand fish eggs each time. If a priest presides over the hatching ceremony, about 60% of the fish eggs will hatch after thirty days. If enough food is available, these larval fish-men, who look like deformed fish, can often survive half of their lives, complete their metamorphosis after three months, become fully mature after one year, and can reproduce after three years - that is to say, Under good conditions, a fish-woman can reproduce three hundred offspring in just one year. What’s even more frightening is that after three years, 150 of the first batch of 300 offspring may start to lay eggs...

This reproductive ability is simply unbelievable. It is definitely the top among all intelligent creatures, and it is just a few blocks away from the second place. It is simply the gap between a landmark high-rise building and a low-rise shack!

There is a famous view that the main reason why the sea tribe often invades land is to consume excess population and avoid wasting too many resources.

"Population" is an extremely valuable resource for most intelligent races, but for fishmen, it is more of a burden.

Relying on terrifying numbers, the murlocs' favorite tactic is to swarm. They never care about losses because their numbers are enough to ignore them. A legendary mage once made statistics on a certain Sea Clan invasion. At that time, he determined that there were approximately more than three million fishmen. Then he was forced back by the strong men of the Sea Clan and failed to complete the entire statistical work.

With such a large number, it doesn't matter whether they have insufficient individual strength or lack of military discipline. Especially when the sea tribe invades, with the help of spells cast by strong men from other races, the murlocs will fall into a state of fanaticism from time to time and will fight to the death until the spells expire.

Faced with opponents whose numbers are several times, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times greater than their own, and they are not afraid of death and are extremely vicious, who dares to pat their chest and say "not afraid"

Lei didn’t dare anyway.

Even though his strength is much higher than that of any murloc, in theory, with a sword in his hand, even thousands of troops can come and go freely, but facing an army of at least a million murlocs, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't kill them at all. But come on!

Just like just now, he killed at least hundreds of fishmen, but so what? If he wanted to defeat the murloc army, he needed to repeat the battle just now tens of thousands of times!

After all, he is also a mortal body. After fighting for a long time, he will be tired, he will be hungry if he has no food, and he will be in pain if he is injured... The fish people's crude weapons can also launch fatal attacks. Once they are trapped in a tight siege due to exhaustion, let alone him, Even legendary strong men are likely to be eaten alive by an endless stream of enemies.

Even more dangerous than these fish-men are the powerful sea monsters. Although most of them cannot stay out of the water for a long time, their huge strength is like rolling boulders. If they are accidentally entangled by a sea monster, they will soon be entangled. You will be surrounded by murlocs, and the sea monsters will cooperate with the murlocs... Basically, if you encounter this situation, you can consider your last words.

However, the most dangerous thing is not these, but the strong men of the sea tribe who are hiding among the countless fish-men.

They don't have the reserve of strong men at all, and they always transform themselves into no different from ordinary fish-men. But when the strong men on land are fighting fiercely, they will suddenly come out from behind and deliver a fatal blow.

Throughout the ages, many powerful people on land have died in the invasion of the sea clan, and even many super masters in the legendary realm have died. Most of them died like this, and many of them never came back to their senses until they died.

What Lei is most worried about are those enemies.

He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the murloc army that was climbing up the dock one after another, arranging the team in a mess, trying to get into a formation, trying to find the hidden strong men among them.

In the previous battle, he did not encounter such a strong enemy. Maybe they haven't arrived in time, or maybe the wave of troops just now was just cannon fodder for testing, but there is no doubt that when the Sea Tribe invades, there will be strong aliens among the fish-men - this is what countless people use The lessons learned with blood are absolutely unmistakable!

But his efforts are destined to be in vain. There are too many fish-men and the order is too chaotic. It is simply impossible to find a few strong men who deliberately hide their strength in such a chaotic situation!

"Fire! Fire!"

When the murloc army approached a certain level again, the magic cannons arranged inside the dock made deafening roars one by one. The low-level mages who controlled the magic cannons were risking the explosion of the cannon barrels to increase the rate of fire as much as possible. They have been trained for a long time, and every shot can accurately hit the place where the murloc team is densely packed, and the bullets are perfect.

The shell fired by these magic cannons is a magic crystal wrapped in a metal shell. It is not stable and relies entirely on the magic circle inside the metal shell to suppress the tendency to explode. Once it is emitted, the magic circle on the metal shell will disintegrate in a short time, and then the magic crystal will explode and turn into a dazzling flame, which is as powerful as the famous intermediate spell "Fireball".

The magic cannon used in Gals City is a more classic model, with slightly less power but a fast rate of fire. In the hands of well-trained low-level mages, more than a dozen magic cannons roared one after another, like a group of giant dragons. Like a roar, bloody holes were exploded in the dense ranks of the fish-men army.

"Asshole! Go to hell!" Sui Xiong was roaring at this moment. He used his ice power to the fullest and froze a large area of space. Although the Shadow Demon King could still escape by breaking through the space for the time being, , but the space for maneuvering has become smaller and smaller.

If this continues, it won't be long before it completely loses the space to escape and dodge, and will have no choice but to fight to the death with Sui Xiong.

Sui Xiong is absolutely sure about such a battle!

But he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. This Shadow Demon King had come unexpectedly, and it was clearly in a very dangerous time, but it still refused to retreat. Why on earth was it

Could it be that... someone is directing it from behind, so that it doesn't dare to retreat

To be able to force this monster that has been ravaging the world for hundreds of years to fight for it, or to give it the confidence to fight for it, that guy must be much stronger than it is. Could it be some kind of god

Which god is launching an attack on his own church

On the other side, the battle between Heimsala and Timsal has also reached a fever pitch. Two indescribably huge giant creatures have become entangled together. The violent rage and the cold undercurrent collided without any fancy, at the bottom of the sea. Set off violent turbulence. Sui Xiong's clone was waving its tentacles at the side, blasting the power of ice towards the parts of Timsal's body that could sense the divine power, trying to speed up the defeat of this evil monster.

Now we need to buy time and solve the battle here as soon as possible. This clone of ours can be liberated as soon as possible. Whether it is to go to Lei's side to rescue or to join the battle on the main body's side, it can be of great help.

But at this time, Lei encountered an unexpected situation.

Rank, who was supposed to leave with Liv, actually came back!
