Chapter 705 The Threesome
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The shouts echoed at the port, and the docked warships suddenly entered a state of combat. The soldiers who were already on standby on the ship immediately controlled the crossbow machine and aimed at the sea surface - but the dense fishmen made them sweat in an instant, because the number of enemies was far beyond imagination...
A warship can kill dozens of fishmen in one volley, but there are already more than 10,000 fishmen in the water. In this case, who dares to say that he is confident of living to the end?
No matter what humans think, they seemed to be driven by some kind of force, and ignored these ships and rushed straight to the shore - how could the port as a military restricted area allow the fishermen to land so easily? The originally set up defensive magic circles and various corner towers immediately opened fire, "Fireball", "ice cone technique" and rainy crossbow arrows poured down collectively, and the fishermen who were first to land on the spot were overturned!
There are mages with a considerable proportion of Lassiman's fortifications, which played a huge role at this time. The dense fishmen did not talk about formations or tactics at all, and they just climbed ashore in a swarm and started rushing forward. In this case, every fireball exploded and almost killed or destroyed more than ten fishmen.
However, the fortifications on both sides of the port were limited in firepower. After the three spells and crossbow arrows were tilted, the firepower interruption inevitably appeared. In just three or five seconds, a large number of fishmen stepped on the corpse of their companions in front of them and rushed up in full swing!
Normal fishman is more than one meter tall, and facing well-trained soldiers, they are basically equal to harvested wheat. But at present, these fishman have strong muscles, nearly two meters tall and sharp minions. Hundreds of port defense teams holding shields hit several passes for less than five minutes, and were killed because they were exhausted...
Because the gap in strength is too big!
"Ask for rescue quickly! Send a signal!"
The mage in charge of port defense was shattered. He didn't expect that he would face such an enemy. At the moment, the defense line was about to collapse, and there was a fishman on the sea behind him who could not see at first sight. He was sure that an enemy of this order of magnitude could fill the port by just squeezing!
The warship docked on the sea was also attacked. The fishman began to climb onto the warship, and the crew members who tried to resist were killed and tore up on the spot. Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain had to order everyone to return to the cabin and block the cabin doors and windows with all their might. Fortunately, most of the crew members used this to escape the fate of being surrounded and killed, because the fishman chose to turn his head and leave after discovering that there were no living creatures on the deck of the ship, and continued to rush towards the shore.
“Buzz…”
The red spell signal suddenly took off, and the mages who cast spells and defenses at full strength threw away all the potion bottles, and finally breathed a sigh of relief - because "red" represents the highest level of helping call, the Rassieman Council will immediately send the strongest troops to support.
However, as soon as this idea appeared, they found that three identical calls for help appeared one after another on the dark sky.
This represents the four coastal ports along the coast of Lassiman and was attacked at the same time.
*******
Inside Duriel City, five kilometers away, in the private room of the bar next to the hotel, three guys who had just gathered were whispering about their plans.
"The opponent's vigilance is stronger than expected. Those guys outside are not easy to mess with. According to the information, three of them won the prize in the "Crown of the Mid Autumn" competition, and their hand-to-hand combat ability is very strong."
The puppet master Shalda used his hand to point the hotel floor plan on the grass sandpaper and drew a circle on the third floor: "There is also a very powerful mage who swept all mages in today's game... So avoiding a head-on conflict with these people is the most labor-saving solution."
Ethan, the assassin next to him, was short and had a conspicuous scar on his eyebrows. He stroked the smoothly polished dagger handle and frowned and asked, "Where is the target person?"
"He is a completely ordinary person, so as long as you find an opportunity to avoid those troublesome people in this mission, the rest will be easy."
The one who answered the conversation was the mage Breton. He used to touch his beards and knocked on the floor with a rhythmic staff. He said with a headache: "That mage is too strong, I'm afraid she is a bodyguard who will never leave her. I took a look at her game record. The powerful players from major academies, who have been in contact with her at present, have been knocked down with one move. So I don't think I can hold her back..."
As a mature "task team", the three are very cautious and upright in their attitude towards the enemy. They are not affiliated with a certain academy, and they do not know who issued the task - "killer", as the oldest profession, naturally has a series of complete trading processes. These three people have never made any name public and have any nicknames. Similar to the swaggering killer stories in the minstrels, they do not exist in the real world. Because what they are best at is hiding, not creating a reputation.
The three of them had just received the task today. At this time, they had conducted preliminary investigations and plans for the "Karen Kingdom Messenger Team", and planned to start scouting the spots next. As killers, all they had to do was hide themselves, find opportunities and finally kill Roddy.
However, as they had just discussed several plans, a commotion came from the tavern. Shaldar felt something was wrong, so he stood up and went to the corridor and opened the window. The scene outside the window made the three of them a little stunned. The signals for help that appeared over and over again in his vision had already been connected in the sky. From a distance, even the night sky seemed to be burning with some strange force.
"What happened?"
Ethan's eyes kept squinting and tried to open his eyes wide. He was not a Lassiman, and he didn't know the alarm signal of Duriel City. Instead, Breton, as a mage, immediately stood up and whispered: "The red emergency call for help signal, and the whole city will enter a state of war."
He paused his staff and shook his eyes: "Which chaos represents opportunity."
*******
Taoris, who was tightly bound by magical energy, felt cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Although Roddy has not used any harsh interrogation methods on her, she has realized that... she must have "fallen" today.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
She instinctively didn't want to answer this question, but looking at Roddy, who suddenly became extremely strange in front of her, Taoreus couldn't help but tremble. She was obviously sexy, but the other party's eyes were indifferent as if she was looking at a corpse. The fear of facing death forced her to measure how she should respond.
But as she was thinking, Roddy continued to speak:
"I know you want to use me, and at the same time you want to pull Misha away..."
"This disappoints me. If you change the way, I am actually happy to work with you - now if you think about it carefully, as an overseas country, do I really want to sell everything to Rassieman and give up the opportunity to trade with you in marginalized countries?"
"Uh, I..."
Although Roddy's tone was cold, Taoris felt relieved. It sounded like Roddy didn't plan to stay with Escar nation?
Taoris also heard the obvious hint in it: "The Kingdom of Karen does not want to see the Rassieman dominate." In other words, such an idea does not conflict with the Kingdom of Escar!
Since there is no conflict of interest between the two sides, why fight?
When Taoris realized this, he immediately realized that she seemed to have used the wrong method at the beginning. She was so regretful of her vision of Roddy at the time... If she was more sincere, it would have been another ending now, right?
Faced with the threat of life, she did not realize why she suddenly had such an idea. She just quickly explained according to Roddy's words: "It's true that we did something wrong! Lord Roddy, the Escar is willing to cooperate with the Kingdom of Karen, very willing! My previous behavior was my fault. The Escar is willing to make more trade concessions to pray for your forgiveness by Lord Roddy!"
"Oh, willing to cooperate, but I think...you may not be willing to say what you are really doing now, are you?"
Roddy's expression did not change, but in his words he was pitted one by one - he first weakened the other party's consciousness of resistance to "will rather die than surrender". When the other party felt that he was saved, he poured cold water hard: "I don't like allies without sincerity, and there is no trust between us at present. It doesn't matter, Master Malein Sera has a hundred ways to let you tell the truth."
Malinthella next to her rolled her eyes, and cooperated to condense more than a dozen sharp ice blades into her fingertips. The rotating blade cuts the air and makes a "buzzing" sound. The dragon mage stared at Taoris' cheek with great ecstasy and said softly: "You seem to be very confident in your beauty?"
"No, no...I said! I said everything!"
Taoris stared at the approaching ice blade, feeling his legs weak, and she didn't need Melinthra to say the second sentence, and she shouted and surrendered.
Because she knew that to be honest, the biggest risk was that Roddy turned around and sold the news to Rassieman Parliament - but the tide of the fishman attack was already on the string. What if Roddy said it now? Anyway, no one can stop this offensive.
So she told Esca's plan for Lasciman over the years as quickly as possible, and did not even have a lie to Roddy's inquiry, and told them all...
For Escar Country, Roddy has indeed examined the possibility of cooperation. Putting aside the behavior of these women in "beauty schemes", a country that has been stuck in the desert for so many years but has not been destroyed is actually a goal worthy of "strategic interactions".
The saying "Far-to-Far-to-Far-to-Far-to-Far-to-Far-to-Far-to-Far-to-Direction" has different explanations in different regions: for Everta, Rassieman on the other side of the sea is "far-to-Direction" and the Karen royal family next to it is "far-to-Direction"; but for the current continent, Rassieman is "far-to-Direction" and "Esca Country" is "far-to-Direction".
If you simply cooperate with Rassieman, it is actually equivalent to being monopolized in trade rights. Roddy doesn't want to fatten up Rassieman and wait for the other party to cause trouble for him. Therefore, maintaining contact with other countries is a step that must be taken in the strategy.
But is Esca really suitable?
He originally thought that these women of the Tuk tribe were just doing some small conspiracy against Rasimman, but when he heard Taoris finish all the plans, he cursed on the spot: "You group of big-breasted idiots!"
Malenethera looked down, took a breath, but she held back her rebuttal words and said, "They demonized the marine creatures and guided the fishman to the shore. Doesn't this mean we have to leave this immediately?"
She slapped her head: "Forget... If she ran away now, the Council will definitely regard us as the mastermind."
After all, this place is not Everta, and Melinthra has to consider the power of Rassieman's parliament. But she didn't know that Roddy was not angry with the fishman attack...
As a demon hunter who inherits Dukar, Roddy is probably the person who knows the most about "demons" in this continent. So he knows very well that the impact of these Tuk women on the ocean is definitely not as simple as they imagined!
Only control the fishman? Yes, because fishman has a certain amount of intelligence, they are more susceptible to mental spells such as "suggestion technique". But what about those with low intelligence?
In Dukar's "Demon Mastery" inheritance, there are also comments on marine creatures, and in one sentence, it is a saying: Never let the demon bloodline enter the ocean!
Because Dukal has witnessed the results of the demonization of marine creatures.
So Roddy almost broke out in a cold sweat, wishing to slap Taoreis a few times-"I really don't know how many lives I have, right? I've been working for so many years... You're really lucky!"
"I, I've only participated recently..."
Taoris didn't expect Roddy to react like this, because he obviously knew what the results of these plans of Escar Country would be, and it seemed... he knew more about the truth than he did!
"Recently? So you came as the last batch of executors?"
Roddy suddenly turned around, "Let me guess, you are all important people in the kingdom, and they all hold real power, right?"
"That's true..."
Taoris was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Roddy suddenly said that. But Roddy's questions came one by one, and he quickly asked: "What should you do if the fishman attacks here?"
"According to your Majesty's instructions, Miranda and I, as the spellcaster, can both intervene in spells so that they do not target us."
Roddy took a breath, turned his head helplessly, rubbed his face hard, as if he was talking to himself: "You are really digging your own grave... you are digging your own grave."
