But if O'Brien wants to withdraw, that won't work. Shado can almost imagine the scene after O'Brien withdraws - the fishmen are crazy going south along the Wolfburg River, and they are really out of control!
He quickly stopped the other party, saluted, and begged: "Elder O'Brien, please hold on for a moment longer. There are so many murlocs that we can't kill them all. It's impossible without a reason. I'll cast a spell to search for one or two, and then I'll take over with the elder." , now it is better to trouble the elders to work harder, Xia Duo is very grateful!"
The etiquette used by Sha Duo was considered a great gift among elves in ancient times. Coupled with his identity as an arcanist, O'Brien was quite useful. Although he did not agree directly, he expressed everything with actions.
When Xia Duo saw this, the sense of urgency in his heart receded slightly, but the situation was still not optimistic. It was really a headache to see the fishmen constantly attacking the human defense line and fighting to the death.
"Niya, spiritual link, come and investigate. I'll find a way to clear out some of the murlocs here first!" Sha Duo looked at the surrounding scene and said to Niya.
Niya also knew that the situation was urgent, so she responded, and after Shado cast a spell to link each other, she retreated to where Bishop Ambril was.
It's not far from the building where the portal is located, and it's not far from the river bank, but it's actually the rear. The bishop is leading the priests of the temple here to heal the soldiers and restore their strength.
Seeing that Niya had retreated to a safe place, Chateau felt relieved and came to Ai Burke's side on the bank. At this time, Ai Boke had just cast a spell to freeze the river surface, giving the soldiers on the defense line some relief.
Under normal circumstances, without external interference, this kind of freezing could last for a long time, but now it can only be used as a delaying method.
The fishmen originally floating on the surface were frozen, but not underwater yet, and at the edge of the ice in the north, there were already fishmen climbing onto the ice.
On this layer of ice covered with fish heads, the murlocs were swaying towards humans. Seeing how they kept coming to die even though they didn't have any armor or weapons, Xia Duo felt overwhelmed. There was a chill.
It really means that you can be killed and chopped by you, and you will be exhausted even if you are tired!
In fact, the attack power of the murlocs is not necessarily that small. Their claws are natural weapons. Before, Xia Duo saw murlocs desperately rushing to the front of the human formation, regardless of any defense just to "touch" humans.
Most of the injured soldiers in the rear were scratched by fishmen, which were not serious, but their combat effectiveness was affected little by little. When it reached a certain level, the human side would definitely collapse.
Thinking of this, Sha Duo felt even more urgent. At this moment, the sensory information of Niya's detection spell was received by Sha Duo through the spiritual link.
Among the information, the first thing Shado noticed was the location where the fish crowd was blocked. O'Brien's spell was not a simple and crude block, but similar to a plane barrier!
No matter how hard the murlocs swam southward, from the perspective of a bystander, they failed to advance even a single step, and in fact, this also restrained a considerable number of murlocs.
In addition, this spell does not block the water flow, it just makes the fishman make empty strokes in the water and cannot move forward.
This is probably some kind of special barrier spell. If there is a chance to communicate with O'Brien, Shado thought, and commanded Niya to move the sensing field of the detection spell northward through the spiritual link.
At this time, Xia Duo finally discovered the direct reason why the fishman did not leave a body.
To the north of the bend where the Wolfburg River passes through the former site of the Tower of Time, there are some special beings among the densely packed murlocs in the river.
At first, Xia Duo didn't notice it. The further north he went, the more prominent these special existences became - they were monsters composed of fish-man corpses and aquatic plants!
It was even more exaggerated than the giant aquatic plant that Sha Duo had seen in Lake Macht before. It was simply a "stitch monster"!
It seems that humans not only have to deal with the fishmen, but also the corpses of the fishmen, killing one monster and two. If this is in a game and you can gain "experience points", that would be fine, but if this happens in reality, it will Very disgusting!
Fortunately, it has not been long since the fish crowd broke out, and there are not many "combined zombies" that have appeared, and it is not known how strong these "combined zombies" are.
But living fishmen are like that, and their corpses are unlikely to be stronger. At most, they have an advantage in size. What's more, they are connected through aquatic plants, so whether they can land ashore is a question!
Compared to the dense and terrifying number of fishmen almost all over the river, Xia Duo was not too worried about these corpses. As long as there was no numerical advantage, it was not an exaggeration to say that they could be destroyed with a backhand.
…
While Sha Duo was simultaneously sensing the results of Niya's detection, he did not forget what he had said before to get rid of some fishmen first.
However, just like Ai Burke who was struggling next to him, Sha Duo was now also struggling with how to get rid of these fishmen.
Especially when you see the "combined corpse" of a fishman, you must give priority to a method that can dispose of the corpse together.
There are no such methods, but they are not worth using to deal with the almost endless fish-men.
But no matter what, it’s always right to boost morale first.
Although the ice-covered river in Aberk has reduced the frequency of murloc attacks, this only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. The murlocs don't care at all and continue to attack the human defense line.
In other words, as long as the root cause of the nearly endless number of fishmen is not solved, any method will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Niya's detection will still take some time, and Xia Duo no longer cares about treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. With a finger, the magic flying sword hidden in the dark suddenly shot into the water and shuttled back and forth under the water.
The blood of murlocs is also red, but the river water was already muddy due to the large number of murlocs, and with the bloodstains on the previous battlefield, nothing new and strange appeared during Xia Duo's operation.
However, the murloc's offensive was met with a halt. After all those who had climbed onto the ice and reached the shore were killed, not a single murloc climbed onto the ice for quite some time.
Ai Boke on the side was immediately stunned. He looked at Xia Duo blankly and said subconsciously: "Xia Duo, what kind of magic is this?"
In fact, he was not sure if this was magic at all, because there was no magic aura, but if it could produce such a result, what could it be if it wasn't magic?
In response, Xia Duo just smiled and did not explain. He did not intend to let others know about the existence of the magic flying sword yet.
After all, the lethality of this thing is too great. Even he himself doesn't have any good precautions. How can he let others know so easily?
Don't make everyone feel at risk when the time comes. Then he, the instigator, may suffer!
Just use it yourself!
