Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 114:
For most coastal residents, the marine invasion is the most terrible disaster, even more terrible than the tsunami.
The so-called sea clan refers to those sea dwellers who believe in the goddess of the sea, are hostile to land creatures, and aim to kill the land creatures and turn the continent into a sea of blood. They come from various sources, and the two largest branches are murlocs and krakens.
The creatures in the sea are diverse and generally divided into two camps. A goddess of life that has long since fallen is the mother, dominated by those powerful demigods, living in the ocean and the deep sea. They call themselves "people of the sea". The main pillar race is the mermaid. Many of the tribes have lived from ancient times to the present, and even witnessed the birth and fall of many gods. The predecessor of "The Rage Tide" Hemsala and the "Dark Tide" Timsal, the demigod powerhouse "Living Tsunami" Sarament, who failed to split the gods, is one of them, and is revered as "Living Tsunami". One of the existence of "Sea King".
The other one is naturally the so-called "Sea Race".
In terms of relations with terrestrial organisms, the people of the sea generally hold a neutral or even friendly attitude. This is because their strong strength gives them sufficient confidence, and the other is because their living environment is very close to the land. Far away, there is no competition with each other in living space.
The sea clan is the opposite. Most of them live in the offshore and shallow seas, and they compete with terrestrial creatures for living space, which are extremely contradictory to each other. In addition, most of their individual strengths are relatively weak, and they tend to suffer in small-scale conflicts, so the accumulating hatred gets bigger, and eventually all terrestrial creatures are regarded as deadly enemies.
The earliest ocean goddess was originally a neutral deity of nature, but because she accepted the faith of the sea clan, she was slowly eroded by hatred, and her alignment kept shifting, eventually becoming an evil deity.
Every period of time, the goddess of the ocean will pass on an oracle to let the sea people gather on a certain coastline, and then attack the land, killing all the terrestrial creatures they see.
This is the marine invasion.
In the sea clan invasion, the skirmishers are not terrible, what is really terrifying is the elite troops led by the strong men in the sea. They are not interested in the 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, and squeeze all their blood out and fill it up. This pit, and then go to bathe in sequence according to the merits of the battle, to please the goddess of the ocean with this cruel ritual.
Once they break through the town, they will either die in battle, escape, or become the material of the blood pool. There is no third possibility.
In the past years, the Sea Clan has invaded Gals City more than once. Although the Riley family has never been able to break through the big city painstakingly managed, but every time it will bring serious suffering to the residents of Gals, so that many people are disgusted by hearing about the Sea Clan.
At this moment, a war is erupting in the city. The father and daughter of the city master who believe in the goddess of harvest and the young master Xien who believe in the goddess of the swamp, respectively, led the fight. Even the various forces in the city were also involved. , Where is there to help resist the invasion of the sea clan?
They don’t exist as the core force of the defensive force in the past, and there is no magic circle that cost a lot of money to build, just those ordinary soldiers, plus some passionate adventurers, can really stop it. Does the invading sea clan invade?
Lei wasn't sure at all, but he felt that he had to stay and fight hard to get more time for those who fled.
Liv wanted to stay and fight with him, but he was persuaded to leave.
"You still have to take care of Niss." He said, "Your mother is good, but it is impossible to have enough energy to take care of Niss. The person stil is unreliable... so I can only rely on You are here."
The girl still wanted to argue at the time, Lei scowled and stared, blocking her words back with majesty.
"Liv, are you a knight? If you are a knight, follow the order!" He waved his hand and pointed at the messy refugee team, "As your teacher, I will give you a task to try to maintain this team. Order to allow them to retreat more efficiently."
"But...I..."
"There is no ‘but’ in the knight’s dictionary!" Lei shouted loudly, "Rank, Teague, Steer, you help her, do you understand?"
Rank immediately complied with his orders and drew his sword to prepare to assist Liv in battle; Mrs. Teague was taken aback for a moment, and then bowed her head to accept the order; Steer frowned, looking reluctant, but in the end she did not say anything. Come if you refuse.
So Liv's whereabouts were decided. The girl's eyes were reddish, but she tried her best to cheer her up, shouting, reprimanding, punching and kicking, and slamming her scabbard, trying her best to restore order to the crowd. She even drew her sword and killed a gangster who wanted to take advantage of the chaos on the spot, wielding a **** sword, like a shepherd driving a flock, trying to make the refugees obedient, not messy, and pointed her sword at her. Retreat in the direction pointed by Feng.
"She did a good job." Lei put his hands on his chest, watching this scene from a distance, showing a satisfied smile, "I didn't expect that this little girl really has some commanding ability!"
"It seems right to think about it carefully. The Paen Knight is a talent that his majesty values, enough to be a figure of the secular lord of the holy land. His daughter inherited his blood and received his teachings from an early age, how could it be just a martial artist? Maybe her 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 to win... But it is very exciting!"
In the distant port, as the tide approaches, countless murlocs are brandishing simple weapons, screaming and rushing up. They are in a mess, there is no way to speak, but with a huge number, it is enough to make every warrior who tries to resist them frighten.
Not to mention, there are relatively powerful elites such as a large number of murloc priests, murloc warriors, and murloc chiefs who play a dominant role in them. At first glance, the team of murlocs is in a mess, but when you look closely, you find that many of them are relatively disciplined groups that are mixing in the messy army and slowly advancing.
"Using miscellaneous fish to cover the elite is a tactic used by fish people." The old sergeant walked over and said to him, "Thank you for joining. I really didn't expect an adventurer who came here not long ago. , Actually willing to risk his life to help us."
"Anyone with a righteous heart cannot turn a blind eye to the slaughter that is about to happen." Lei replied, "Especially...when I failed to prevent another slaughter that happened not long ago."
The old sergeant was silent for a while, and asked: "What's going on over the square...?"
"I can only tell what I saw and what I guessed. I can't guarantee whether it is right or not."
"Please speak."
"First of all, Master Sean seems to be a believer in the **** of the swamp, and his status is very high. It feels like he may be a voter or something." Lei said, "Although he doesn't seem to want to, his status makes him unable to Reject the order of the **** of the swamp."
The old sergeant's eyes widened, his mouth widened, his face dull.
Only this "first" suffocated him. He never dreamed that the Riley family, who has believed in the Goddess of Harvest for generations and most of the family members have held important positions in the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, the future successor will be the elect of the God of Swamp!
It's like the leader of the cat group has become a dog, or the king of the daughter kingdom is a man, it is ridiculous to the extreme!
"Then, during the ceremony, he broke into trouble and summoned the clone of the **** of the swamp to come." Lei said, "probably using the clone cast by the gods, that huge slime monster, what do you think? It's not like a clone of a god, it's too cheap."
The old sergeant nodded blankly, without noticing the disrespect in Lei's tone.
"Then, He Li was eaten by the slime monster; the slime monster that ate her made a large-scale attack, turning almost all the spectators in the square who hadn't had time to escape into slime; the city lord broke out and severely injured Xi En; Shinn was possessed by the **** of the swamp, and the city lord who could not defeat the slime monster burned his life and summoned the incarnation of the goddess of harvest to come; He Li's soul turned into a divine creature, bringing the survivors to fight against the slime monster." Lei exhausted It may be short to describe what happened on the square, "Now, there is 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 a person with my own eyes 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, and drove the confused thoughts out of his mind because of the inexplicable things, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what the square is, I am a The coastal defense army, I only have one duty, that is to resist the invasion of the sea clan and guard the city of Gals!"
Lei smiled and patted his shoulder: "That's right... But, do you have a good way? If you just fight like this, the chances of winning are not great!"
"How? There is a way to blame! To be honest, I'm not optimistic about this battle at all!" The veteran sergeant whose hair is about one-third of gray was muttered, "But there is no way to do it too! I grew up. He grew up in the city of Gals, and he is a nobleman at any rate. You can't turn your head and run at a critical moment and give your back to the enemy..."
Speaking, he suddenly bent his bow and set an arrow, and the sharp arrow screamed out, shooting a gorgeously dressed young man to death on the side of the road.
This young man probably saw that he was talking to Ray just now, thinking he didn't notice that he ~IndoMTL.com~ wanted to sneak away.
"The first military rule of the Gals Coast Defense Army, kill those who fled before the battle!"
The voice of the old sergeant became cold in an instant, like the north wind of winter, which made people tremble: "I know that many of you are sent to gilded by the elders, and I also know that you are usually idle and lazy. ...... Those are not important, but now is the time when the sea clan is invading. What is the reason for encountering this kind of thing during the tenure? It is because your destiny is like this!"
"So don't complain to me, and don't touch stupid thoughts such as running away! All you can do is take your own weapons and fight!"
"I don’t want to listen to you for any reason. I don’t care about these. I am only responsible for two things. First, I fight for my life, and I can’t let the sea clan rush over and carry out the massacre; second, if If someone wants to escape, I will kill him!"
He looked around coldly, although he was only a low-ranking non-commissioned officer, at this moment he had a trembling aura like a giant dragon.
"Now, get ready to fight!"
