Chapter 480 Sea Snake People
During the next journey, Levi and the others kept meeting the North Carolina pirate troops of all sizes. These barbaric and brainless guys seemed to have no idea what fear was. Even though there was such a clear and huge gap between the warships between them, and even if Levi showed such fierce long-range firepower, these guys still rowed their small broken ships one by one, trying to rush over to start a fierce close-range battle.
But most of the time, they didn't get this opportunity.
Either their warship was blown up by various war machinery early on the way, and the whole ship of pirates fell into the sea of claws and fed the sea beasts together, or under the command of Sienna, the long-range troops killed them all halfway.
Losing the battle of various monster units such as wolf-skinned men and marsh demons on land, the combat power of the Nosca pirates is really not strong.
They do not have enough power and are surprisingly stupid. Although these Nosca pirates are also humans, they are not as cunning as the beastmen in nature, and they are no different from the brainless green skin. At least the beastmen also know how to ambush and attack human villages with weak defense. They rarely act like these Nosca pirates, even though they are very different from each other's strength, they still take the initiative to attack!
With the dwarf Jerek, Sienna finally didn't have to be distracted from commanding various war machinery. Now she can use all her energy to command the long-range troops, showing extraordinary enthusiasm. Moreover, because of Reiner's identity as a high elf and the skills of the militia master, her self-esteem seemed to be a little stimulated. She is currently working hard to train and command her subordinates, trying to improve their strength in the shortest time.
Levitra was happy to see it happen. His subordinates knew that they had worked harder, which was a great thing for him, so he ordered the others to cooperate with all their intentions.
Compared with the North Carolina pirates, the endless stream of sea beasts and marine races in the Claw Sea have caused more trouble to Levi and others.
These sea beasts not only look strange but also have various abilities, but they are not all brute force. Many sea beasts have their own unique talents, such as poisoning, discharge, ice cone, wind blades, etc. They are emerging one after another. Except for no sea beasts that use fire magic, all the magic of the other seven factions is complete, and there are also some very rare or side-spoken magics, which opens everyone's eyes.
However, the most threatening to Levitra and the others is currently the wise sea races, such as the sea snake people who are fighting with Levitra and the others, which is very difficult to deal with.
At first glance, the appearance of these sea snake people is somewhat similar to that of Naga. They are both humanoid in the upper body and snake tail in the lower body. However, compared to Naga, their body shape is slimmer and thinner, and their scales are much thinner. Of course, they are much ugly, but this does not mean that their threat is smaller.
The sea snake people not only start at level 3 per capita, but the most elite main forces are basically level 4, and there are also very clear occupational divisions. There are warriors responsible for absorbing damage in front, and mages who cast water and wind magic behind them. They also have a small number of beast tamers, which can drive a large number of sea beasts as cannon fodder and a very small number of assassin-type units. They are races with wisdom and social classes, and almost all sea snake people have the talent to spit out venom.
When they first encountered them, Levi and the others had just finished their battle with a group of Nosca pirates, cleaning up the spoils and salvaging the boxes. Unexpectedly, some uninvited guests were attracted by the blood scattered in the sea. They took advantage of the situation to launch a sudden attack. At least forty or fifty soldiers screamed in pain, and their bodies were dyed dark green in an instant. It was these sea snake people.
Although Levitra and the others immediately launched a rapid counterattack, they still lost a little of their troops when the opponent took the lead.
Then these sea snake men seemed to be holding revenge and kept launching attacks on them on the road ahead. They never attacked head-on, and always took advantage of the situation to rob and launch all kinds of despicable sneak attacks when Levitra and his friends were fighting with other enemies.
Of course, they have no ability and no courage to confront warships that are dozens of meters long and have a large number of artillery. They usually drive a large number of brainless sea beasts to attack first, and then they use their agility to get close to the warships, try to rush onto the ship, and have a hand-to-hand battle.
Although because Levitra and the others are strong enough, the plans of these Sea Snake men have ended in failure so far, and they have not caused many casualties to them in total. Instead, they have contributed a lot of experience and equipment, this behavior itself makes Levitra and the others a little annoyed!
Now, after another sneak attack failed, these sea snake people planned to use the old tactics again to let the sea beasts under their control act as cannon fodder, while they themselves wanted to escape.
This is their old trick. They did this before, but because everyone annoyed them, they were not stingy with all kinds of attacks. Every time they retreated, they ended up in failure, and they were all killed. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that they continued to attack again and again without any memory.
But this time Levitra decided to let them go and not kill them all.
Because he was always wondering why these sea snake people with obvious intelligence were not particularly low, had to bite themselves and wait for others? When encountering a powerful enemy who could not resist, wouldn’t the best choice be to escape?
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon, and there will be something strange about this matter!
So this time Levitra decided to let a few sea snake people escape from the battlefield, and then they followed from behind to see where the other party would run back, and maybe they could unlock the secret.
After receiving Levitra's instructions, the others also kept some hands. After killing all the sea beasts, they did not kill all the sea snake people this time, but let a few guys go away. After they escaped, Levitra immediately ordered the release of a wolf ship for tracking. If the Landuin was used directly, the noise would still be too loud.
It turns out that although these sea snake people looked very cunning in the previous battles, they were still much worse than real humans, so they were easily followed by the wolves and found their old nests. Then the giant ship Landuin and three wolves also arrived there together.
After seeing the situation there clearly, Levitra and others then understood why the Sea Snake people had been attacking them before.
Because according to their previous route, they would pass through an island in no time. On this deserted island, there are nearly a thousand sea snake people and a thousand sea beasts that can go ashore. They are working as miners here. On the outside of the island, there are thousands of sea beasts acting as guards. Although most of the sea beasts here are low-level cannon fodder, it is definitely not easy for sea snake people to gather so many.
Without further ado, Levitra immediately knew that these sea snake people were so mobilizing, they must have found some treasures on the island. The reason why they frequently attacked their own group was that they wanted to disrupt their routes so as not to delay their treasure digging operations!
But now Levitra and the others have discovered the secret here, so what else can I say? Just fight!
With Levitra's order, guns and cannons fired in an instant, and dozens of mortars and cannon shells fell into the sea beasts, instantly causing a large wave of blood. Their proud hard scales and heavy skin seemed so vulnerable in the face of these war machines born for killing.
The roaring cannons and the painful howls of the sea beasts were intertwined, which immediately shocked the sea snakes on the shore. They immediately put down their work in a little hurried manner, took up their weapons, turned around and attacked Levith and others.
But unlike the previous encounters, the sea snakes cannot fight guerrilla warfare this time with their relatively flexible bodies. Often, before they touch Levi's warship, they were killed halfway through the way. The originally clean and clear ocean was soon contaminated by their dark green blood and various dirty blood flowing out of the sea beasts. And I don't know whether it was their blood or the venom in their bodies, even if they were separated by 180 meters, Levi could smell the fishy smell.
However, the sea snake people refused to give up. With a few sharp whistles, some special sea beasts that had never appeared before appeared in everyone's sight.
First of all, there are some giant sea snakes with a diameter of nearly one meter and a length of more than ten or twenty meters. Look at their size and then look at the thick scales covered with their bodies. Levitra will know that their defense and vitality are not much weaker, but if nothing unexpected happens, they should also be flesh shield-type or cannon fodder-type troops.
There is no way, these snakes that don’t even have claws have attacks, such as biting their teeth, injecting venom, or using their bodies to tie up and strangling the enemy to death. At most, it’s awesome to use their tail to suck it. It’s just a few species that go over and over again, and nothing new at all.
Then there were some colorful giant jellyfish that looked like they knew they must be highly toxic, and some large seahorses with hard thorns all over their bodies and looked like porcupines, gathered together five or six hundred and six hundred and attacked them in a mighty manner. It seemed that the rare animal trainer unit among the sea snake people was dispatched on a large scale.
But the cannons that were roaring soon told the sea snakes with their powerful attack power that this level of resistance had no meaning at all!
Within ten minutes, the sea surface around this deserted island was covered with the corpses of various sea beasts and sea snakes. All the enemies who tried to resist were killed. Only some sea snake people who saw the opportunity quietly slipped away from the battlefield in advance.
Levitra was too lazy to chase these little clever ghosts. They only had four boats in total. It was not realistic to continue to divide the troops. The sea was so mysterious to them. The weak sea snake man did not mean that all other marine creatures were weak, so it would be better to be cautious.
The only regret is that they don’t know if they can’t speak at all or they don’t know how to negotiate. Until the moment when the entire army was wiped out, no Sea Snake people tried to communicate with Levi and the others, so Levi and the others had no idea what the Sea Snake people were digging on this deserted island. It seemed that they had to go down and see it in person.
"Hahaha, how about it, Levith, I said it's definitely okay to hand it over to me, right?"
Looking at the excited and happy look of the dwarf Jerrick, Levi was also a little funny. It was the first time that he had officially engaged in such a strong naval battle. The artillery troops showed all their strength for the first time. They had no need for everything to deal with the small broken ships of the North Carolina pirates, as well as scattered sea beasts, etc., and Jerrick probably had been holding back his energy.
However, the other party was right. His skills are indeed very obvious in the increase in artillery war machinery. Even the mortar, which has always been criticized for its low hit rate, can still perform a good hit rate under his command. It is indeed a professional profession.
So Levitra followed the other party's wishes and praised Jerek for a few words, which made Jerek laugh even happier. The dwarves are like this. If they are enemies, they will show their ruthless side, but if they are friends, they are actually very worthy of making friends.
Thanks to the small pier built by the Sea Snake people before, Levitra instead of swimming in the smelly blood and internal organs, they first stopped on the pier and then headed to the excavation site.
Considering that it may be necessary to use physical strength, Levith led most of the warrior professions that are good at brute force, mainly dwarves. After all, they are the best at mining, and then the bald troops led by Tianguxing. The crazy believers of the Sigma Church are also very brute force. Otherwise, they would not charge at the enemy with a big shield and a war hammer on the battlefield.
Then there was a small number of half-elves led by Sienna and her little friend Kelly. Of course, they were not here to mine. They were here to cooperate with the monk Chen Zhu and the dark elf female assassin Otilia for reconnaissance and alert work.
Although this island looks very deserted. Except for the paths barely opened up by the sea snakes before, the rest of the places are full of weeds that are more than half a person tall, and there are not many trees. However, this terrain is very suitable for hiding some small and medium-sized enemies, such as Beasts and Scarvens, etc. Levith didn't want to take the man here for a long time, but the fruit of victory was snatched away by others, so necessary vigilance is indispensable.
Finally, it was Ophine, which was mainly because Levitra considered that there might be magic-related things, so he took her as an insurance policy.
