"What is that? A ghost ship?" Alustriel asked in an uncertain tone.
Because the glass bottle obviously had a dazzling arcane aura, she didn't know whether it was some kind of decoration or a container really used to seal something dangerous.
"This?"
Zuo Si picked up the bottle and shook it gently, then nodded with a smile and replied: "Well, yes, this is indeed a ghost ship, and there is also the soul of an old friend living in it.
He colluded with a murloc city in the deep sea and attempted to capture and plunder the ports and warehouses I established on the Nelanthel Islands.
You see these interesting activation and transformation parts and the ability to control water flow, which are the unique deep-sea technology of shark-turned-fishmen.
The churning water below the hull, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, is actually a kind of elemental life called a water monster, which is often summoned and driven by shark-turned-fishmen.
The algae at the bottom that is eroded and twisted by negative energy can entangle anything that enters its attack radius, whether it is another ship or a person.
The undead soft tissue in the giant barnacles protruding from the side can not only be used to eject undead creatures, but can also throw heavy stones two to three hundred meters away, which is equivalent to a biological catapult.
To be honest, I was amazed when I first saw it."
"The Nelanthel Islands were attacked by ghost ships and races from the deep sea? Is this the so-called little trouble you just mentioned?"
Verama Landas showed an expression of disbelief.
You must know that for most coastal cities, no matter which of the two appears in front of them, it often means disaster.
Especially the large-scale attacks by shark-turned-murlocs. Among the many historical records of Faerûn, even the smallest one caused the death of more than ten or two hundred thousand people, and several cities were looted or completely destroyed.
Ruins.
Moreover, these bandits from the deep sea have no interest in things like land at all. After burning, killing and looting, they will immediately retreat to the depths of the sea, leaving humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings and other races on the shore unable to do anything to them.
.
The Golden Dragon Queen could not imagine the vast and terrifying scene when a city of shark-turned-fishmen was deployed in full force, as well as the things summoned and raised by the shark-turned-fishmen, including giant sharks, deep-sea monsters, and siege crabs.
The devastating damage that can be caused to a certain city or an archipelago.
Even she would feel helpless in the face of so many enemies.
What's more, the shark-turned-murlocs are not soft persimmons. There are a considerable proportion of magical spellcasters in their tribe, who can heal the wounds of those strong warriors, provide protection and strengthen spells.
"Haha, madam, have you forgotten my identity?
Or have you forgotten how the orcs in the North disappeared?
For me, unless it is an elemental, undead or mechanical creature that is completely immune to disease and toxins, quantity has no meaning at all.
Unfortunately, these shark-turned-murlocs chose the wrong enemy, so now they have completely disappeared from this world, and not even a single egg can survive by chance.
Since you dare to provoke me, you must be mentally prepared for revenge.
I will never be soft-hearted when it comes to dealing with enemies.
By the way, I am quite satisfied with the amount of gold and silver treasures stored in that underwater city, especially the large number of magic items, precious materials, gems, and pearls."
Zuo Si said creepy words in the calmest tone.
Because in these few sentences, it means that a kingdom of shark-like fishmen with a population that may have reached tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands has completely disappeared.
Although similar things have happened to the orc race in the North before, I still can't help but feel numb when I hear it again.
However, since the murlocs themselves are an extremely evil race, and have been regarded by coastal residents as a scourge on the same level as demons since their birth, if a merchant ship unfortunately encounters them in the middle of the sea, there is basically no hope of surviving.
.
So even Aribes, a paladin, did not express any dissatisfaction with the massacre, but frowned subconsciously.
You don't need to ask to know that the ghost ship is none other than Hallett's soul that fell into the sea after his death and merged with the sunken ship.
Filled with strong unwillingness and resentment, he not only succeeded in transforming himself into a powerful undead creature similar to "Umibozu", but he also secretly attacked passing ships in the Moon Shadow Islands, killing all living people and transforming them into creatures under his control.
Undead.
After crazy devouring, evolution and transformation, the ghost ship controlled by Hallett has long been powerful enough to easily crush a fleet.
Later, after cooperating with the shark-turned-fishmen, we obtained a stable source of souls, corpses and bones.
Especially several "banshees" transformed from sirens, each of which can release terrifying group negative energy attacks similar to the nine-ring magic [Banshee's Wail].
Not to mention ordinary people, even elite adventurers with a professional level of LV10 or above will be killed in an instant without being fully prepared.
In addition, there are a large number of demonic corpses, rotten zombies, zombies, boda corpses, and giant skeletal creatures spliced ​​together with the bones of marine life, etc. that are twisted under negative energy.
Its own "Umibozu" ability is like a natural disaster in the sea. Just the gaze cast by the shadow can cause people to have intense fear that cannot be described in words, and they will fall into a state of paralysis and become unable to move.
If you are stared at for the second time, the negative energy will erode the body and cause a negative level.
And when Hallett merges with the ghost ship, he will wrap it up with his huge black shadow-like body and completely dive thousands of meters deep underwater.
This is why he attacked so many ships but was never caught or had any witnesses.
But it is a pity that this guy's strong obsession with revenge made him decisively propose a plan to attack and plunder the Nelanthel Islands to his shark murloc allies after he believed that his power was strong enough.
I want to kill Eric, the bastard, and those traitors with my own hands, turn their bodies and souls into his subordinates again, and torture and enslave them for a thousand or ten thousand years.
Since the shark-turned-fishmen knew nothing about the information on land and were very keen on looting towns along the coast, they agreed without even thinking about it.
The two sides hit it off immediately and decisively gathered strength to launch an attack.
But before these guys had time to go ashore, the lich stationed in the mage tower on the island took the lead in discovering the enemy situation, and then promptly notified Zuo Si's clone who stayed in Faerûn.
As a result, a long-planned sneak attack turned into a one-sided massacre.
Although there are many guys with very high professional levels among the shark-turned-murlocs from the depths of the ocean, the two princes are out-and-out legendary warriors, and there are two or three priests who can cast divine spells of seven rings or above, but
The number of arcane spellcasters is almost zero.
As expected, they were easily defeated and killed by the lichs led by Zuo Si. At the same time, they began to release a terrifying magical plague targeting the group of shark-turned-murlocs. They used spells and rituals to summon elements, and alien aquatic creatures followed and killed them.
.
The number of water element elders alone exceeds twenty, and others like the Infernal Dire Shark, Infernal Giant Octopus, Dragon Turtle, and Dragon Eel are all in groups.
Within a short time, the corpses of thousands of shark-turned-fishmen were floating on the sea surface in pieces.
Even the ten-story siege crab lost its ability to resist under the touch of the shadow creature and was directly made into a card.
After killing all the invading enemies and capturing the ghost ship controlled by Hallett, Zuo Si was obviously not satisfied. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and entered the opponent's underwater city, killing the most powerful shark group entrenched in the depths of the Traceless Sea.
The Kingdom of the Huyuren came straight to the scene.
He couldn't remember exactly how many fishmen he killed in the end.
Anyway, blue mana has ushered in an unprecedented bumper harvest.
The corpses recovered after the war alone have piled up into a hill, and they are all ready to be taken back to the necromancer wizard Ludvi to be processed, dismembered and turned into various corpse-embedded creatures.
Since he and his fully-automated assembly line factory were established, the floating city has rarely used low-level undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies, instead using corpse-embedded creatures with certain intelligence and stronger combat effectiveness.p>
However, there are too many forces and gods watching over Faerun, so there are no plans to make large-scale replacements yet.
"Aren't you afraid of angering Sekora, the father of shark-turned-fishmen by doing this?"
Alustriel's expression was obviously a little complicated, and he asked in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si spread his hands with an indifferent expression: "What's there to be afraid of?
First of all, this god is just cold, ruthless and cruel, and he especially hates weakness.
So from the moment those shark-turned-fishmen were defeated and turned around to run away, they were abandoned by their gods.
What's more, the Nelanthel Islands are located in a shallow sea, and the shallow seas in the entire Faerûn continent are ruled by the ocean goddess Amberli.
Coupled with the unscrupulous expansion, conquest and killing of the shark-turned-fishmen, it has long threatened the living space of the sea elves. It has also angered the patron saint of the sea elves, the great dolphin prince-Sesila, and those behind him.
The elven pantheon and a series of animal lords and ocean god allies.
I guarantee you that if the father of the shark-turned-fishmen dares to come to the incarnation, what awaits him will be the same result as when the orc god comes.
As for driving other shark-turned-fish-man kingdoms in the deep sea to launch attacks on the areas I control...
If he is not afraid that the entire group of murlocs will be completely wiped out from the ocean world of Toril, then go ahead.
No matter how many millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, I will kill as many as they come, which will also help the intelligent creatures in the ocean learn to respect Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease."
There is no doubt that when he carried out the massacre of the undersea city, Zuo Si had already thought clearly about the consequences of offending Secora and the countermeasures he could use.
To be continued...
