"Are you dizzy from being frightened?" The murlocs yelled and ran towards the hill. Roger also felt a little strange. [] But it's okay to say that some murlocs were so frightened that they didn't choose their way. There's nothing wrong with that.
Why do all the murlocs make the same mistake? This made Roger vaguely feel that there must be something very important to the murlocs on the hill, so he quickly decided to go to the mountain.
"Harris, we have to move forward!" Roger called to the fishermen hiding behind him, and then ordered the soldiers to advance up the mountain.
Harris was frightened half to death by the battle just now. Even now that the fish-men have retreated, he has not recovered. But this guy is indeed the kind of person who would risk his life for glory and wealth. Even in this situation, he is still
He gritted his teeth and stammered in reply: "Respect...respect, respect your life, my lord!"
"Haha, I love you, Harris!" he laughed at the fishermen, and Roger followed the soldiers who had already set off towards the mountain. However, while walking through the beach and heading deeper into the island, the two of them encountered
Got into some little trouble.
In the battle just now, Roger's soldiers killed at least nearly half of the murlocs. Hundreds of murloc corpses lay scattered on the beach, leaving almost no place to stand. The murlocs' blood dyed the entire body green.
On the beach, pools of dark green blood accumulated in many places. Although from time to time
There was a sea breeze blowing in the face, but the fishy smell on the beach was still nauseating. Even Roger, who was used to seeing killings, couldn't help but frown, and Harris's stomach would have been churning. If it weren't for the fear that he would be in the Lord's
If he was rude in front of adults, he would have run away and vomited.
Of course, everything has two sides. Although this killing seriously damaged the beach environment, it also brought huge benefits to Roger. The soul power of the sharp-toothed murlocs is generally strong, and the fish that performs magical arts
He gained a lot from people. If he continues to accumulate at this rate, Roger only needs to kill another one or two hundred fishmen to collect enough soul power to build a primary farm and solve the food problem of the territory.
After crossing the beach, Roger discovered that there was a road paved with stone slabs at the foot of the mountain. The road was wide enough for two carriages to drive side by side, and the neatly cut stone slabs formed several steps leading straight to the top of the mountain.
The surface of the stone steps is somewhat mottled, and there is a lot of moss growing in some places. It has obviously been built for a while.
It is impossible for a creature like a fishman to complete such a large construction project. This road must have been built by someone else. This reminded Roger of his discovery that there seemed to be the remains of some kind of building on the top of the mountain before going to the island. Now
There was indeed nothing wrong with coming here. Thinking of this, Roger asked Harris, who was following closely behind him: "Were there any buildings on this island before?"
"Sir, there is an abandoned altar on the top of the mountain." Harris is indeed an old fisherman here and knows the situation of the island very well: "This altar existed a long time ago. It is said that it was built by the followers of the Storm Goddess.
. Later, the island was occupied by fish people, and this altar probably became their nest, right?"
"There is actually an altar..." Roger also felt a little surprised as he walked towards the road leading to the top of the mountain. He quickly thought of the fish who could cast magic and the altar on the top of the mountain together, and felt that there might be something between the two.
Contact. This made Roger more determined to go to the top of the mountain to find out what happened, and immediately ordered the soldiers to advance to the top of the mountain.
The soldiers lined up in an attack formation and slowly marched towards the top of the mountain along the wide road. Roger walked among the groups and went up the mountain under the protection of the soldiers to find out.
Seeing that these humans were still going up the mountain, the defeated murlocs regrouped and hid in the bushes on both sides of the stone slab and screamed threateningly at Roger and others. Roger didn't take these guys seriously.
When the fishman pops up, let the soldiers launch a fatal attack on it.
The soldiers naturally carried out Roger's orders faithfully. Along the way, they either nailed the murlocs to the ground with iron spears or chopped off their heads with long swords. The murlocs further away from the road were guarded by crossbowmen.
Responsible for dealing with them, whenever they find traces of fish-men, they shoot them with an arrow. The soldiers kill them all the way without showing any mercy to these ferocious creatures.
Roger and others reached the halfway point of the mountain and wiped out another hundred or so murlocs, which was almost enough to build a primary farm. However, after arriving here, the resistance to progress also increased significantly. The scattered murlocs regrouped.
got up and began to systematically stop Roger from moving forward.
These murlocs formed a dense formation on the road, screaming and waving their crude weapons, preventing the humans in front of them from taking another step forward. Facing the approaching human soldiers, the murlocs rushed forward like a tide.
Come and launch a crazy attack with weapons and even teeth. Some fishmen have even been pierced by iron spears, but they still screamed loudly and waved their weapons to stop the soldiers from advancing, without taking their own life or death at all.
Something happened.
Even Roger had to admit that compared to the battle on the beach, the behavior of these fishmen had changed a lot, becoming more violent, cruel and bloodthirsty. But the more the fishmen behaved like this, the more Roger wanted to
Knowing what is on the top of the mountain is actually worth their efforts to prevent them from going up the mountain.
Thinking of this, Roger also ordered the soldiers to advance to the top of the mountain at all costs. However, the murlocs defending from a high position had a geographical advantage, and their crazy fighting attitude also caused a lot of trouble for Roger's soldiers. Starting from the middle of the mountain, Luo
Every step forward cost Jay more than before, and his speed also slowed down.
Although the murlocs held the belief that they would die and prevented the soldiers from going up the mountain, their unorganized fighting methods and crude weapons greatly limited their ability to exert their strength. What's more, compared with the soldiers under Roger's command, the murlocs were already weak.
Quite a few, so they can't stop humans from slowly but surely advancing towards the top of the mountain.
As Roger led his men closer to the top of the mountain, the fishmen became more and more crazy, and their fighting methods became more bloody. From time to time, the fishmen screamed and rushed towards the soldiers, letting the sharp weapons in their square hands pierce their bodies,
Just to take a bite out of the soldiers, or even just to delay their steps, he was willing to do so.
Roger could not help but be moved by such a cruel battle. This was the first time he had seen creatures other than undead fight in such a lifeless way. However, these fish-men were not human beings after all, and in Roger's eyes they were still alive.
They are not as cute as the kittens and puppies on earth, and he has no psychological pressure at all to eliminate these guys.
Under Roger's order, the soldiers crushed forward mercilessly, marching on the blood of the fishmen to the top of the mountain. After fighting for a while, they finally reached the end of the stone path.
When he arrived at the top of the mountain, Roger discovered that there was a large open space with neat stone slabs on the ground. There were even stone railings protecting the edges of the open space. However, due to years of disrepair, the stone railings were seriously damaged and were damaged in many places.
It's been broken.
At the other end of the open space is an altar made of meerschaum. Although a large part of the altar has collapsed, the remaining parts can tell that it was still very majestic when it was first built, which shows that this altar was built in those days.
Believers are very devout to the Storm Goddess.
However, Roger also knew that with the passage of time, the goddess who was in charge of the sea had fallen, and she had not shown any miracles for at least hundreds of years. Although many gods are alive in the world of Toulonzo,
But if they do not perform miracles for a long time, they will soon be replaced by other gods, and believers will turn to other gods. This is the case with the Storm Goddess. No wonder even her altar is abandoned.
For a long time.
After a series of battles with Roger's soldiers, there were only a hundred or so fishmen left out of the thousands. Now these guys are all gathered in front of the altar, watching each other's every move with vigilance. This abandoned altar looks like
This is the place that the murlocs defend to the death.
"It's really strange. Could it be that the Storm Goddess reappeared and developed murlocs as her followers?" Looking at the murlocs' strange behavior, Roger couldn't help but muttered to himself: "So the murloc before could cast magical spells. In fact, it was
A gift from the Storm Goddess?”
Although Roger's test was reasonable, it was soon overturned by himself. Even if the Storm Goddess is at the end of her rope, as long as she can show a small miracle, there is still no problem in developing some human believers, and there is no need to fall.
To the extent that the murlocs are regarded as believers. These guys can't even tell the difference between left and right. They can count from one to ten, which is considered to be a highly intelligent person. They have no faith at all, and they will not be worshiped by any gods at all.
Just when Roger was secretly wondering, the fish-men gathered in front of the altar suddenly parted to both sides, and a figure twisted towards Roger. Seeing this figure, which was much taller than the fish-men, Roger couldn't help but murmur to himself
Said: "It's actually a Naga!"
Naga are a race that lives in the deep sea. Their upper bodies are very similar to human women in appearance. They also have plump chests and slender waists, but there is a fish tail in front of the waist. Moreover, this creature also has at least four arms and looks like
It is also very ugly and has a forked tongue similar to that of a snake. It is a completely different species from the mermaids singing in the ocean.
Nagas basically live in the deep sea, and occasionally appear on small islands deep in the ocean. However, this island is so close to the mainland, and there is actually a Naga living there, and this Naga is the leader of this group of murlocs.
It's a bit too unexpected.
"What on earth is going on?" As Naga twisted her waist and came closer to him, Roger was a little confused.
Just when Roger was confused, Naga actually spoke with a forked tongue: "Human... hiss, welcome to my holy land!"
