Broad World

Chapter 268: Closing the net

After the sahuagin blessed their magic, under the leadership of Buck Endis, they attacked the gate of the castle. Under the control of the priest, more than a dozen large skeletons ran at the forefront. Ordinary arrows and ballistas have no lethal effect on these guys full of bones. In the blink of an eye, they came to the city gate and waved the magic two-handed sword in an attempt to cut off the iron gate.

Henry knew that he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise, once the gate was breached, none of the ordinary soldiers inside would be able to leave alive. He fired the third ball of light into the sky, and the airship that had been waiting in mid-air immediately launched a bombardment. A large number of gas storage tanks, kerosene, alchemy explosives, and javelins tilted down like money, and the sahuagin were stunned at once.

Because a lot of kerosene was buried in the city in advance, it just happened to ignite it all before the explosion. Numerous wooden houses became the best fuel, and the fire spread to the whole city within ten minutes. The sharply rising temperature made these marine organisms very uncomfortable. They began to lose a lot of water in their bodies, and some of them with poorer physique had already fallen to the ground due to dehydration.

At the same time, Corey and Sandyr also led the Barbarian Guards and Golem Legion from the Duke's mansion, and went through the city center to outflank the enemy's rear. The sahuagin stormed the city wall against the flames for a few minutes, and then began to retreat quickly. Buck Endis yelled at the castle a few times unwillingly, and finally turned around and retreated towards the port area.

Under the leadership of the leader, the assassins hidden in every corner launched sneak attacks on the panicked enemies. Many low-level priests were pierced through the heart by daggers emerging from the shadows without paying attention. Robert had already quietly killed two high-ranking priests, and the triangular thorn pierced the back of the victim's head in an instant. The poison attached to the weapons didn't even make them make a sound.

Under the double blow of the air and the ground. The number of sahuagin is dwindling rapidly. After Henry gave the human soldiers an order to withdraw from the city. He also personally brought the temporarily recruited professionals to join the hunt. This group of adventure-experienced guys cooperated very well. Killing a single murloc was as easy as eating and drinking for them.

On the way from the castle to the pier, the enemy left more than 2,500 corpses, many of them priests. Henry kept bombing with the fireball staff in his hand, and countless unlucky people were killed by him. Although the number of sahuagin is still large, these dehydrated sea creatures don't have much fighting power anymore. He used the entire city as a trap to lure the enemy deep into the land in order to let the high temperature drain the enemy's physical strength. Once these guys start dehydrating, it means the fight is over.

When Buck Endis fled to the pier with the remaining sahuagin. I found the heavy barbarian warriors who had been waiting here and the tall golems lined up. Supreme Commander Corey drew his sword and shouted: "Monster! Are you ready to pay for your actions?"

"Damn humans, they actually want to kill us all! Aren't you afraid of attracting a larger scale of revenge? You must know that the entire Sword Coast is now my people, and they can easily destroy a coastal city." Buck Endis threatened loudly angrily. Due to staying in the high temperature environment for more than half an hour, he and his men didn't have much physical strength to fight.

Henry, who came from behind, sneered and mocked: "Ha! Scared? I'm scared just because you garbage that will die after leaving the water for more than ten hours?"

When Buck Endis heard the word "garbage", he was instantly irritated. "Ahh! Damn human, you dare to say that the great sahuagin are rubbish! I will tell all the same kind of words. Wait, all ships belonging to this city will be attacked by us in the future, and even one will not come back alive."

"I'm very sorry, I'm afraid it will be difficult to realize your idea. Because I have no intention of letting you leave alive today." Said Henry made an offensive gesture.

After receiving the order, Sandyr did not hesitate to release the "comet technique" at the place where the enemy was most densely populated, and followed by nearly a hundred golems and terminators to charge. All of a sudden, the sahuagin were scattered. Corey led the barbarian guards to follow behind, and all of a sudden, blood and flesh flew all over the place. Except for a few elite fighters and priests, the enemy is still resisting tenaciously. The other meeting was overturned to the ground.

Barbarian warriors are no ordinary human soldiers. They were comparable to the sahuagin in terms of physical fitness, but the latter had little physical strength due to dehydration, so they fell into a one-sided massacre. Seeing that countless enemies began to escape in all directions, Henry immediately flew to the sky and cast the seventh-level divine spell "Beauty of Nature".

Ordinary murlocs have absolutely no resistance to this powerful magic, and they have fallen into the desire for beautiful images and cannot extricate themselves. Some of them lost their eyes permanently because they couldn't look directly at the beauty of nature. Buck Endis yelled angrily when he saw the dementia of his subordinates, but there was nothing he could do. Because he was entangled by the Terminator, he couldn't protect himself now.

Henry set fire to all the buildings on the pier very insidiously, leaving only a living path leading to the Queen's Palace. In order to escape for their lives, the sahuagin didn't care whether they would offend a god, and they rushed over regardless of Priest Umberley's obstruction. Many guys who went mad because of their injuries directly killed the priest in the temple and devoured the corpse regardless of the consequences.

This naked and blasphemous behavior instantly angered the coastal goddess who was already famous for her violence. No god can tolerate such a thing done by mortals in their sanctuary, let alone these sahuagin who have clearly crossed the line. I saw the originally calm sea set off huge waves, and the guy who had just escaped into the sea through the temple was blown ashore by the waves.

Seeing the pungent queen get angry, a smile appeared on Henry's face. He immediately sent a signal to order the pterosaurs in the air to drop their spears and kill all the enemies stunned by the huge waves. After the sahuagin priest discovered that the gods had intervened, he desperately prayed to his gods, hoping that Sekora could save them, but unfortunately, he didn't get any response.

After all, Offshore is Umberley's domain, and she's a member of the Raging Gods. It is impossible for the god Sekora to offend the gods who have the storm master Talos for the sake of such a small number of believers. Seeing that all efforts were in vain, the sahuagin stopped running and launched a desperate counterattack. In just a few minutes, Henry suffered a huge loss. Dozens of golems were destroyed, and at least more than a hundred barbarian warriors died in battle.

Henry didn't care about keeping his hole cards, and directly activated the ninth-level magic "Time Stop" once a day. When the spell took effect, he felt that he had entered a wonderful world. All the people and objects around them lost their color and stayed in place motionless. In this world there are only black and white, which represent the flow of time.

Before he had time to think about it, Henry cast the last two eighth-level magic "Abidacci Withering Technique" consecutively, and then the time for magic came. Enemies covered by the brown-white mist began to dehydrate rapidly, and died in large numbers. Buck Endis was also affected by this spell, and the Terminator took the opportunity to launch the legendary warrior's unique skill "Whirlwind Attack". The high-speed slashing turned a powerful warrior into a flesh within a few seconds.

Seeing the death of their own king with their own eyes, the remaining sahuagin seemed to be drained of all their strength, standing quietly waiting for death to come. Without any hesitation at all, Henry directly gave the order to kill them all. With the last enemy beheaded, all battles are finally over.

Watching the originally extremely manic sea slowly return to calm, Henry came to the destroyed Water Empress Hall and bowed deeply. "Great goddess, you are the master of the ocean. Thank you very much for your help just now, otherwise we would not be able to kill all these robbers."

"Mortal, you did a good job, especially the massacre just now made me very happy. These damned blasphemers deserved such an end, otherwise how could they reflect the majesty of the gods." The voice of Ambowry echoed in the empty hall.

Hearing the goddess' words, Henry hurriedly bowed his head respectfully. He knew very well that this goddess was extremely vain and liked to hear all kinds of flattery. If you show a little disrespect, you will probably be hated.

"The great goddess who is both beautiful and powerful, the sahuagin are invading the entire Sword Coast. We humble mortals can't resist at all, so we can only retreat inland. The temple may not be repaired in the short term, so I ask for your forgiveness."

Umberrie laughed wildly at Henry's flattery. "Hahahaha! Mortal, you are very good at talking. It doesn't matter, anyway, this temple has been desecrated, and I don't intend to take it anymore. For the sake of your respect, I will tell you a piece of news for free. Run for your life, the elite troops led by Jacques Houas will arrive within a few hours."

"Thank you very much for your kind reminder. I will take everyone to evacuate from the coast." Henry bowed again and hurriedly gave the order to evacuate.

Everyone didn't even have time to catch their breath. The wounded was healed with a simple magic spell, then he packed his things and headed east quickly. As soon as they left the city, the sahuagin army arrived at the port area. Jacques Houas was shocked and speechless when he saw the densely packed corpses. When he noticed the destroyed temple, his face showed an expression of enlightenment.

"Damn it, that bastard Buckendis dared to attack the temple! It's all right now, not only did he lose so many people, but he also offended a great god." Jacques Houas cursed fiercely.

A priest next to him came over and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now? Should we retreat to the deep sea immediately, or make a sacrifice and ask the goddess for forgiveness?"

"Nonsense! Of course it is a sacrifice. Our task has not been completed. According to the plan, we will need at least eight months. Hurry up and prepare. I estimate that at least two hundred people will be killed." Jacques Houas picked out two hundred sahuagin from the team and prepared to preside over the sacrifice himself.
