"Tom, Sawyer, take your men to the turret! Hold the wheel and pull the shield rope! Villain! Come on, run away, you bitches!"
Following the bald captain's chatty shouts, the sailors showed good qualities - more than a dozen tower shields were raised on the side of the ship, and the area was armed into a simple crenel, and then a ballista opened with a creaking sound.
The giant spear and arrow shot out of his mouth hit the water heavily, causing a large splash of water. A faint scream of screams was suppressed by the sound of water and was pushed to the bottom of the water!
However, casualties appeared almost immediately on the human side...
An unlucky guy who got too close to the side of the ship let out a short scream. When the sailors' torches shone in that direction, the sound had stopped abruptly - in the light of the torches, the shadow pressed against him shone gray.
It used its fat body to completely suppress the poor young man, and its two strong arms twisted the poor man's neck at a terrible angle.
"Light spell!" Miss Lisa recited a short prayer, and several ropes hanging on the side of the ship began to shine. These ropes surrounding the side of the ship illuminated the entire ship almost instantly.
.
As a result, the images of the black figures climbing the side of the ship were exposed to the light - this kind of monster is called a lizard, which is actually a bit untrue. Their gray-green scales and long jaws make them look like lizards.
The standing crocodiles only have much more developed limbs, and this image, combined with the ragged yellow-brown teeth like knives in front of their heads, and the gray-green fins standing up behind their heads, creates a strange and strange look.
sense of oppression.
Of course, this is the opinion of a hunter who has seen a series of bizarre things such as illithid monsters, archeologists' buildings and so on - in the eyes of ordinary people, that is synonymous with terror.
"Damn it, isn't it still a day's journey to get to the entrance of Kalin Beach? Assholes, stinky salted fish, let them sneak so close! Where did these ***... come from so many!"
The captain let out a series of curses. Even the red firelight around him could not conceal the paleness on his face. The sailors who ran the ship were also experienced in life and death, but in this situation, they could not calm down - light
Wherever the light of the magic can reach, the large gray-green dorsal fin is no less than fifty! And the river in the distance is churning loudly at the moment, and it is obvious that more monsters are gathering.
!
There was a strange creaking sound in the night, followed by a whooshing sound through the air. In the dim light, there were several screams immediately!
What flew over were some short javelins. This kind of throwing weapon is particularly lethal in the hands of powerful monsters. Although those javelins were crudely made and had poor accuracy, this round of throwing caused at least four crew members to lose their combat effectiveness—
—One had his arm pierced, two had their legs and feet nailed, and the most unlucky one was nailed directly to the mast!
The mist splashed by the wind pressed by the river water was intertwined with the stench of decay. The smell of blood was getting thicker and thicker, making people reflexively unable to breathe, but this smell obviously inspired the lizard people to become more ferocious.
Compared with their stupid appearance, their IQs are obviously not low - as soon as they approached the side of the ship, several sailors were immediately pulled into the water by the black shadow that suddenly jumped up. They were dragged into the water without even a chance to struggle.
There were more guys roaring and hissing. They climbed up from the side of the ship and quickly gained the upper hand. If they were not born to be extremely sensitive to flames and were concerned about the lamp oil and fire glue in the hands of the crew, dozens of crew members would have been killed.
The defense line formed may have been breached long ago!
But what's even more troublesome is that at that moment, the two ballistas, humanity's greatest reliance, had been completely lost!
"Damn, damn! How can these bastards be so smart!"
"Someone hold the sail, you idiots!"
"Get to the shore. Get to the shore quickly!"
"Damn, the steering wheel isn't working. Those bastard monsters!"
"What should we do? Run away? We still have a bucket of kerosene, pour it into the water..."
"Shut up, you idiot! The kerosene won't burn long in the water. If it gets on the boat, we'll be the ones ruined! Do you want us to turn into torches?"
In the midst of the noise, the captain cursed and threw a throwing ax in his hand. A monster that had just rushed in front of him screamed and wilted.
However, others are not so good at martial arts, in terms of strength or speed. They cannot compare with this predator. The lizard people's scales are tough and thick, and covered with mucus. The sailors use more than a dozen short bows,
Even with the strength of the sailors, they can only make a shallow dent on it. This kind of injury can only be regarded as insignificant to the beasts, and it also aroused their ferocity.
Sex! They kept jumping out of the water and jumping onto the deck. Let the balance of combat power tip to their side - especially the lizardmen at the back no longer just relied on their claws and fangs, they also held in their hands
Although the dagger or dagger was covered with rust and chipped, it was still very effective when held by these monsters. If it scratched the unprotected bodies of the sailors, it would immediately take away a blur of flesh and blood.
If the pain of those wounds is unbearable, then the ownership of those flesh and blood is even more unbearable - every bit of flesh and blood becomes a delicacy in the mouths of these monsters, they scream and lick it from the blade, and several
The unlucky deceased had been bitten into a fuzzy skeleton in the next moment. The terrifying sound of gurgling was accompanied by the excited howls of the monsters, which almost made the sailors who pride themselves on their life-threatening profession feel weak in their legs and feel sick and weak!
,
Fortunately, humans are not without room to fight back.
After a moment of hesitation, Edward took action - a large stream of flowing purple light spurted out from the front of the missile wand, hitting a lizard man with holes all over his body!
This effect made the caster himself stunned for a moment. These guys in the mage tower are really too wealthy! This is not even the magic missile staff the magician gave him, but it already has such lethality. This
Two missile staffs are enough to almost double all the monsters in the river and clear them all!
...But every time this thing is sent out, it looks like shiny gold coins!
So if possible, mercenaries who are used to being poor really don't want to use such disposable high-level weapons, but these guys in front of them are far from as stupid as they seem... No, maybe they are just too stupid.
, the effect of mind stabbing was not very obvious on them! After comparing the lethality of the psychic energy at hand, Edward could only choose to use money to solve the problem.
A burst of cheers suddenly broke out among the sailors.
The role a spell caster can play in a battle may be limited, but it still has a great morale-boosting effect, not to mention that this spell caster looks quite powerful - with a backhand, a ship exploded on the side of the ship.
A large area of dazzling luster and dazzling pain immediately caused the monsters to stagger back, and then fell back into the water with an unsteady footing!
"Damn monster!"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the little girl next to the caster actually let out a loud scream at this time, and a circle of luster burst out around her. Then the little body rushed forward... just now
Obviously, Edward's spirit paused for a moment, and there was no way he could stop her from such a dangerous move!
Well, it actually doesn't look that dangerous.
The seemingly fresh food that broke out of the defensive circle immediately attracted a large number of lizardmen. They rushed forward one after another, forming a jungle of sharp blades with rusty swords and sharp teeth in their hands to try to stop this shining little guy. But the little guy
The girl raised her hand, and she didn't know when she was holding a black hammer in her hand. With just a wave of her hand, more than a dozen weapons were blown away in a burst of jingles, leaving all the broken copper and iron in the air.
They scattered in all directions with a crash. The lizardmen behind them screamed wildly, and the monsters who lost their weapons were so frightened that they backed away - and the girl swung the hammer round without hesitation, and at the same time let out a crisp scream.
A pair of beautiful wings composed of light stretched out behind her, and a dull popping sound was heard immediately. The monsters that had just gathered around flew back like they were hit by a bull!
"Let me go, this girl's gods are too generous, right?"
Amidst the gasps of amazement, Edward couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly!
Although Edward does not want to become a priest, this does not prevent him from gaining some understanding of priests recently - there is not much difference between divine magic and arcane magic. Many of them are the same thing, but they are different in the channels of use.
They are two different routes.
Mages control spells through learning. Through the magic network as an intermediary, they use mental power to extract natural power to shape arcane spells. When performing them, they need to coordinate complex postures and movements; while divine spells rely on the power of gods and the spiritual power of believers.
Gathered to the gods. The feedback from the gods shapes the energy through the magic network. In this way, many things are omitted...such as complex postures, movements and incantations, and a wide variety of casting materials...
In other words, the gods are like intermediaries at this point, saving spellcasters troublesome steps through transfer, and the reward they receive is the faith of believers.
But it is always convenient to have an extra backstage boss... In order to ensure flexible movements and avoid magic interference, mages cannot use any armor-it is unwise to wear cotton-padded jackets. Priests don't care at all, they wear helmets and crowns.
It is common sense, and the power is far better than that of a mage, and is as good as half a warrior. Armed with a giant shield, a hammer, and an axe, he can charge into battle, protect his comrades, and save lives and injuries. He is an extremely popular partner among mercenaries everywhere.
But those powerful priests are hard to see.
Although to become a priest, there is no stipulation that you must have become a monk since childhood, have practiced some kind of practice, etc., but after all, you still need to accumulate sufficient faith, and being too pious makes priests usually like to stay in a certain place.
Bringing blessings to one of the temples, and even doing it
They might as well plan to build a temple by themselves. They rarely come out as mercenaries and adventurers. Among the few wandering around, they are either preaching madmen, have other missions, or are even simply minions of the evil god. Because only in this way can they accumulate enough money to please them.
Belief in gods.
Someone as old as Miss Lisa, but possessing such power... is actually rarer than a giant dragon.
"That's enough, Lisa, come back and help the wounded!"
Frowning, Edward shouted. The magic used by that girl seemed to be divine power. It could greatly increase her abilities in a short period of time, but it would not last long. If she was surrounded by others during the raid, even if she was favored again,
The pastor will also die.
"Oh my... it's so scary, so scary, you can only see it if you look closely. These guys are really scary..."
In response, the half-elf returned to the sailors' space with a few glide steps, patting his small chest and panting slightly. I have to say that that look was very cute...
However, this "cute" girl has already overthrown seven or eight "terrible" lizardmen in a brief confrontation so far - the monsters swept by the black mace are 100% skinned and flesh-to-bone.
Broken tendons, even with the toughness of beasts
. It was also difficult to get up, and there were five or six unlucky ones who became really scary - their heads exploded into a ball of flesh and blood... Sharp hissing sounds came one after another, even if they were used to seeing brutal things.
The mercenaries on the battlefield couldn't help but shudder.
Naturally, there will be strange women around the magician, hmm. The sailors quickly comforted themselves and concentrated on fighting the monsters in front of them.
In any case, the situation of the battle seems to have changed with the addition of these two people.
The half-elf uttered a long chant, and then a faint light enveloped the entire battlefield. Then the sailors immediately felt that the whole world seemed to have become lighter, their bodies were stronger, and the weapons in their hands were no longer heavy, and the weapons they wielded were no longer heavy.
The speed is more than one-third faster than before. The scimitar that could only tear open a small opening can now tear apart the lizard people's limbs.
Cut it in two! At the same time, the fear in their hearts disappeared without a trace, leaving only inexplicable excitement, so they shouted loudly and fiercely began to attack the opponents who kept climbing up the side of the ship, and more than a dozen of them attacked.
The lizard warriors on the ship were all shot down or chopped down on the deck by Hao without hesitation. He regained most of the position in a short time!
But monsters are not idiots either.
The harsh hissing sound on the river suddenly became more rapid, and then a green light spurted out from the water. The green light rested on the side of the boat, and the wood there suddenly moved, and countless vines immediately spread out.
In an instant, it entangled several sailors who were caught off guard. With another sharp cry of "His!", a wave of javelins flew up. The sailors who had no ability to dodge suffered heavy casualties on the spot!
His eyes swept over the less than fifty monsters in the water, and Edward's brows furrowed even more tightly - in his experience, when dealing with these monsters, as long as they cause a certain amount of damage, they can retreat. There is no need.
Completely kill them all, and the lizard people are not the kind of monsters with no intelligence at all. If they are really cornered, drilling the ship from the water will be enough to push everyone to a dead end. Edward can teleport and escape with the little girl.
But that would surely lead to another trouble.
But at this time, the guy who had cast the spell had jumped out of the water like a cannonball, and hit the deck with a huge splash! The entire battlefield came to a standstill for a moment!
This guy is obviously the leader of the lizardmen. He is larger than the average lizardmen. He does not hold the machete commonly used by the lizardmen in his hand, but a dark red short spear. It is smooth and thick.
His carapace showed a strange black-red color. As he jumped onto the deck, a strong smell of sulfur could be smelled from a distance, and water vapor was constantly evaporating from his body.
"Humans... get out of here, spare you, or... die!"
What was even more surprising was that he scanned the people around him with his separate bulging eyes, and after a pause, he uttered a vague voice from his throat!
"***When will monsters be able to steal ships?"
The bald captain was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed with disdain...
Of course, this guy's cunning is not just reflected in his hoarding... While laughing, he flipped his hand and threw two throwing axes!
This is obviously his famous stunt. Among the twenty or thirty lizardmen that the sailors have hit so far, seven or eight have died from this simple but powerful weapon - but this time it is doomed to fail.
, the tall lizard man hissed with the same disdain, and used the short spear in his hand to deflect one spear, while the other one was easily dodged by him and flew to an unknown place.
And what followed was his real counterattack.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised at that moment - in their impression, this kind of aquatic humanoid subspecies usually hates flames... But this guy actually opened his mouth wide at the next moment and spit out a burst of fire.
Big fire!
This ***...could he be the Dragonborn?
Some dumbfounded humans suddenly had such an exclamation in their heads!
But the power of the flames was indeed terrifying - even though the bald captain rolled backwards in an instant, the flames still stuck to his body like thick grease, and in an instant, half of the deck was ignited with flames.
!Seven or eight poor sailors were involved!
At this terrifying time, there are only two spellcasters left among humans who can react.
Edward frowned and sprayed two streaks of light and a green shadow at the lizard man leader - the magic missile was somewhat ineffective when it hit the monster, only plowing a few marks on his thick scales.
!And the other party had already rushed through the wall of flames in an instant, screaming and running towards him!
Edward, go quickly!
The lizard man was so fast that when he hit a piece of wood, he turned into a blur of shadow! So Lisa screamed, holding the warhammer in front of Edward, ready to fight the monster.
,
Something wonderful happened the next moment,
Just when there was only a dozen feet between the two, the shadow suddenly paused! It transformed back into the lizard man.
I saw his mouth wide open, as if he had seen something scary, he took two steps back, and then jumped into the water!
