As an amphibious humanoid creature, the fish-man's iconic wah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhhhhhhhhhhh actually sounds quite cute and cute. The Q-version form of the fishman is even more adorable, and it is very popular around online games.
But when a living fishman appears in front of you, it's not such a beautiful thing. Yellow eyes, skin covered with mucus and seaweed, short and thick limbs, a huge mouth full of sharp hook teeth and sticky saliva dripping from the corners of the mouth. When you face a fishman alone, you must first pass a round of -1 mental will test, otherwise you will enter a state of panic.
When you are in the queue, wearing armor and holding a sword and shield, you will receive an additional +2 morale boost. Because the primitive social organization and living environment of the fishmen do not provide them with weapons and equipment, the most sophisticated weapons in the hands of these little monsters are rusty knives from sunken ships, and most of them only have wooden sticks or hard corals.
As the fish tide recedes, the food available to the fish-men who settled here also decreased, and the wise men among the fish-men also focused their attention on humans. In just five days, three incidents of murder by fishmen had occurred, and one person was missing. Carlos sent the best scouts in his army to search for the missing persons. In the end, only half of the corpses covered with tooth marks were recovered.
"Is the deception plan going well?" Carlos was angry in his heart. After living in this world for so many years, he could not regard the people under his rule as data or NPCs. But unreasonable anger can't change anything, so Carlos's voice was calm and calm, looking particularly cold-blooded.
"Sir Sir, murlocs are different from beasts. They have a certain amount of intelligence, but they are not smart enough. As long as they are seduced a few more times, we will definitely wait for the perfect ambush opportunity." Heni Mareb looked at the meeting room of the town hall. All the gentlemen were pretending to be dumb and had no choice but to stand up and answer Carlos's question.
"As a nobleman with good education, I understand your concerns. Even the old mayor can deal with one or two fishmen on the ground." After Carlos finished speaking, he paused deliberately. The other people laughed understandingly, and the old mayor also smiled and lowered his hand to signal everyone not to interrupt Carlos.
"But the murlocs in the water are really formidable opponents." After Carlos said this, everyone unanimously agreed. The murloc's combat effectiveness is at least five times greater in his hands.
"I have great confidence in this operation plan, and there are many things going on within the kingdom. Therefore, the good thing of dispatching regular troops to help you eliminate the fishmen cannot happen often. Therefore, I hope this operation will go well. The result. I hope everyone will not work together and wish the joint operation a complete success."
After speaking in an official tone, Carlos said something that he didn't even believe, and after everyone applauded, the meeting ended.
Many people may wonder why they attach so much importance to Carlos bringing more than 100 soldiers when there are more than 400 militiamen in Nanhai Town. The reasons are very simple. First, Nanhai Town has a permanent population of less than 4,000 people, and the militia organization of 400 people already exceeds 10% of the total population. This is rare in non-all-out wars. The second is: more than half of the Nanhai Town militia is responsible for maritime patrols and merchant ship escorts. The shore troops actually only have less than 150 people. Excluding the patrols guarding villages and towns, at least 100 people are needed. In previous years, the remaining 50 people were eliminated, plus the hired idle sailors and nearby hunters, the total number would not exceed 100 people. The third is: Carlos’s assistance this time is free! In addition to providing accommodation and meals, Nanhai Town residents do not need to pay additional fees. The fourth is: the soldiers brought by Carlos come with a full set of equipment and are well-trained, and their combat effectiveness is significantly higher than that of the Nanhai Town militia.
"Herni Mareb, tell me what you are thinking. Will this operation have a good result?" Carlos asked alone, leaving Herni Mareb behind.
"Sir Sir, with all due respect, we can never completely defeat the murlocs, so reducing their number is the best option. If I were the mayor of Nanhai Town, I would establish a murloc hunting team of 20 to 30 people. , hunting lone murlocs all year round, and purchasing murloc heads from hunters and insurance companies, which is much more useful than carrying out a large-scale purge at this time of year." Carlos was struck by Herni Mareb's knowledge. Liang, this guy has something in his stomach.
"How come no one has done this before?" Carlos asked.
"Who pays? Who is responsible?" Herni Mareb answered Carlos's question with two questions.
"That means it doesn't matter whether there are me or my soldiers?" Carlos asked deliberately making things difficult.
"That's not the case. Your Excellency Sir's support will at least prevent the fishmen from causing any major incidents in the next three years." After finishing the compliments, Henny Mareb finally said his plan, "Actually, my My suggestion is that after the joint operation, you can stay in Nanhai Town for one more month, so that your soldiers can take over the guard militia, and I can free up my manpower for long-term, uninterrupted patrols and hunting. I dare not let your Elite soldiers went to the beach to play in the mud.”
Carlos believed it. Henny Mareb is really the hidden boss of wow, a military god of a generation buried in the long river of history. Carlos's previous idea was to have a head-to-head relationship with the murlocs, but reality slapped him hard, because the murlocs would not build houses on the coast at all, they all lived in the water. And Herni Mareb's proposal was really valuable. The soldiers brought by Carlos didn't care about fighting the enemy, but they would never ambush a lone murloc in the muddy tidal flats for two months in a row. So let's change the tasks. Carlos's men patrol and perform drills in Nanhai Town, and the militiamen of Nanhai Town do the dirty work. Everyone is happy!
Fortunately, I am still a time traveler, and my brain is not as flexible as that of the local natives.
No, Heni Marreb was an intellectual who received a diploma from a Lordaeron scholar.
"It's a very good proposal. I'm impressed by you. Let's do this. When the time comes, I will allocate the 10 personal guards around me to you, so you can prepare some assault force." Carlos said with a smile on his face.
"Do you agree?" Herni Maleb couldn't believe that he had convinced a lord so easily. In his impression, nobles were selfish, miserly, and unprofitable guys.
"Complete the reservation plan first and then talk about other things. Don't let a boatload of spotted grouper be sacrificed in vain." Carlos joked.
"Yes, Your Excellency, then I will go out and arrange the arrangements first, and the results should be available within two days." The energetic Heni Mareb's appearance +2
After the militia captain of Nanhai Town left, the soldiers belonging to Keldalon were also secretly happy. Stationing and patrolling were much easier than fighting in the wild.
Except for the 10 rough guys who directly belonged to Carlos, who looked dissatisfied, everyone else was happy.
