More than a hundred kilometers north of Brejak, the biting cold wind from the north mixed with ice ballast flows southward into the mainland from between the mountains on both sides of the fjord.
The current ice sea has entered a state of polar night, and Di Yang cannot be seen all day long. Only the huge Laya is left, which can hang near the horizon for a few hours around noon every day.
At the entrance of the fjord, you can see mutilated limbs and corpses floating on the dark blue sea everywhere. Thousands of mermaids and sea monsters are guarding the water in a relatively warm current, ready to enter the cold water to fight the sea orcs at any time.
Less than 1 kilometer deep at the mouth of the fjord is the main battlefield of the mermaid tribe and the sea beast tribe:
Along an invisible boundary, 300 mermaid warriors were fighting with about 300 walrus, sea lion, and seal warriors at the same time, forming a combat surface about 1,000 meters wide and 10 meters deep. Soldiers from both sides were fighting here. Fighting in front of each other.
On such a combat surface, the warriors from both sides were almost completely fighting each other. The dragon beasts in the sky could not go deep into the water to capture the mermaids, and the mermaids and water elf mages supported by both sides could not use spells to cause group damage.
In terms of combat effectiveness alone, it is difficult for mid- to low-level mermaid warriors to gain an advantage over sea beast warriors of the same level. Although mermaid warriors are strong and strong, they lack a fat layer under their bodies. In this near-freezing sea water, Flapping the tail fin is already quite strenuous, let alone using a coral razor to fight the fat sea beasts hand-to-hand.
Compared with mermaids, all types of sea beastmen are thicker, especially those walrus warriors, which are simply a 3- to 4-meter-high cylinder. Even if the thick fat layer under their skin is scratched twice with a razor, It will also set quickly.
Intermediate mermaid warrior Sasan finally used his long tail to wrap around a walrus warrior. He ignored that most of his left shoulder had been torn off by the walrus's tusks, expelling all the air from the swim bladder in his abdomen, allowing the depth of the two of them. Continuously.
The light on the sea gradually became blurry and dim, and the pain on his body had been completely numbed by the cold water. Even the tail fin could no longer feel the touch.
As the surroundings gradually darkened, Sasan no longer fought against the walrus warriors. At this moment, he just looked up at the sea, hoping that he and his opponent could die together as soon as possible.
"Power belongs to Poseidon! The mermaid tribe will eventually rule the entire ocean!"
Just as Sasan was about to give out his final cry, he felt vibrations coming from deeper in the water.
"what happened?"
The mermaid warrior no longer had the physical strength or energy to take care of his surroundings. He only felt that his right arm suddenly became much lighter, and then he saw two arms floating upward with blood stains on them.
"This..." Sashan's last glance was to find that his head was separated from his body. Next to the walrus warrior he had just entangled, another sea lion warrior actually appeared. The saber in the sea lion warrior's right hand flashed with cold light. The blood stains are still there.
After the sea lion warrior "split" the mermaid, without any hesitation, he took the walrus warrior into the deep sea.
The two dived into a trench together. There was an inconspicuous cave on the rock wall. A magic pattern container was half embedded in the entrance of the cave. There was a 1 meter square opening below the magic pattern cabinet. After the two warriors took turns entering the opening to breathe, Go up again to find more sea beast warriors entangled by mermaids and assist them in fighting.
In the past, as long as 2 or 3 mermaids cooperated, one of the sea beasts could be completely submerged underwater. Although the mermaids exchanged one more for one, but now the population of the sea beasts is declining, as long as a considerable number of medium and low-level sea beasts are killed. level warriors, they can reduce their high level from the population base.
Under such a conspiracy, the mermaid and sea monster clan can completely suppress the development of the opponent's race without even having to use their own high-level ones.
However, in the past two days, the senior members of the mermaid tribe discovered that the sea beast tribe on the opposite side seemed to be suddenly "unkillable". Most of the sea beast tribe would only need to sink into the depths of the fjord, and it would not take long for them to resurface. During the battle, what was even worse was that several high-level sea beasts that they had seriously injured before briefly disappeared for a few days before returning to the battlefield.
The mermaid tribe was in a bitter battle on the front line, and Brejak, who was behind the sea beast tribe, had another look.
In a semi-shallow pond in the city, dozens of magic pattern containers are neatly stacked. Each translucent container contains a slightly injured sea beast warrior. These warriors are cultivating in cabinets rich in life magic patterns, and cooperate with Due to its own strong vitality, it would take 2 or 3 days to recover from a general knife wound and return to fighting in the fjord.
Near the temple in the city, there is a flooded side hall. Every half a day, the finless porpoise tribe will push 4 or 5 containers directly into the side hall from the waterway. From the portal in the side hall, they will be sent directly to Roseburg.
In Roseburg's dedicated operating room, Rosef Sivedno Galloping Horse was working with Guanna Dante to operate on a walrus mage with a ruptured internal organ. Next door to them, Yinghuo and Guleiya , is performing surgery on another high-level seal warrior.
Outside the operating room, Lant and the finless porpoise priest Osikaya were watching the situation in the operating room through the magic mirror.
"Duke Lant, thanks to you this time, the death rate of the sea beasts has dropped a lot compared to previous wars!" Osikaya said with a smile, "And Roseburg, the operating room here can Allowing seriously injured people to receive treatment was something that was unimaginable before.”
Looking at the seriously injured people in the two operating rooms, Lant asked: "Didn't you say that there are only middle and low-level people on the battle line? How come there are so many high-level people seriously injured?"
"That's just the first line. High-level leaders from both sides will cross the front and constantly test each other's weaknesses." Osikaya shook his head. "This is a life-and-death war. Maintaining a front is just for efficiency, not for kindness."
"Since the magic pattern cabinet is so useful to the sea beast clan, haven't the sea monsters discovered it?"
"I found out. They can destroy more than a dozen magic pattern containers every day, but Yeqi City's output is large enough and fast enough. In addition, the Sea Beast Clan will not stupidly put all the magic pattern containers in one place. Each container has a dedicated person responsible for guarding and guiding it, and they will change the layout every few hours."
"What a flexible tactic," Lant nodded. However, at this time, he thought of his fishing expert, "Where's Tierney? I don't think I saw him."
"He is in Brejak with Lord Harald. There is a sea map there. Tierney said he has some tactical suggestions to give to the Sea Orcs."
"Yeah, one of them ran over without me noticing," Lant muttered in a low voice, feeling very worried that his subordinates would be targeted by Poseidon.
"Don't worry. Brejak's temple is protected by the God of the Sky. The tentacles of sea monsters cannot reach in."
