Chapter 15 Fatal Attack

Once they are unable to continue exerting force, clean up the approaching aberrant murlocs as quickly as possible.

They can trample on their companions' bodies, climb over the shield's defense, and jump in.

The butler Ralph saw this keenly, took a deep breath and shouted:

"Good job, guys, hang on. We were able to find at least three pieces of materials just now, and everyone can get 10 silver coins. Keep up the good work!"

Inexplicable inspirational power, as Ralph's voice spread, the soldiers who agreed with what he said felt new power emerging from their bodies.

Those pushcart drivers who were a little exhausted also felt that their strength was emerging again.

The wanderers holding bows and arrows stood on the safer roof of the car, drawing their bows and arrows and focusing their fire on some larger aberrant fish-men.

These aberrant fish-men, who were obviously more powerful and more dangerous, were squeezed in place by their surrounding companions and unable to move. Facing the dense fire of arrows, they were quickly eliminated one by one.

It was under the influence of multiple factors that the battle line gradually stabilized.

In just a few minutes, nearly 400/1 of the more than 3 aberrant murlocs were lost in the collision with the shield wall.

Blood dyed the mud red and flowed in from outside the defense line of shields and trucks. From the sky, it seemed as if a wave of blood had gradually penetrated and swallowed up the convoy!

Angela, who was directing the battle, watched with vigilance at the bodies piling up higher and higher.

They are about to accumulate into a gentle upward slope.

Once the corpses pile up and the aberrant murlocs can crawl over the wooden shields, they can directly attack the soldiers holding the shields!
"Do not hesitate!"

Suddenly, the Lord's familiar voice came to her ears. Angela turned to look, and Matthew nodded to her.

Under the silver-white metal mask, Matthew's smile became brighter.

"Directly ahead, everyone retreat and throw fuel cans!"

Crackling!

The dispersed and flowing fuel painted the bloody world ahead with a touch of black.

The red aberrant fish-man was also dyed pitch black while squeezing and crawling in the mud.

After hearing the order, the soldiers stabbed with their spears and cleared away the deformed murlocs in front of them. They neatly retracted the support rods and retreated backwards, dragging their shields.

At the same time, several flaming arrows landed on the dark alchemical oil.

Whoosh!

Roaring flames emerged from the ground and instantly engulfed most of the distorted fishmen in front.

A huge wall of fire rose from the ground in the swamp.

Although the aberrant murlocs had no sense of pain, they had the desire to survive. They fled frantically away from the wall of fire, spreading with burning fuel and flames, almost engulfing all the aberrant murlocs directly in front of them.

Before they could run too far, their thin and short bodies were engulfed and burned by the flames reaching thousands of degrees.

The retreating soldiers, under Angela's call, quickly checked the damage to their clothes and quickly organized a new line of defense.

Burning flames appeared in the dark green lenses, and smelling the stench of burning fat, Matthew could feel the faint heat through the mask.

In just one moment, at least more than 80 murlocs were burned to death, as well as nearly 200 deformed murlocs.

The situation should have gradually eased, but Matthew suddenly frowned. On the real-time marked information display, the remaining aberrant fish-men suddenly began to become even weirder.

"Deeply infected person, violent and deformed state, challenge level 2+! → 3+!"

The body shape became more distorted, the originally bloated fish-like body gradually became thinner, the limbs became slender and ferocious, and the bone-like spikes began to protrude.

The collective increase in challenge level gave Matthew a feeling that something was terribly wrong!

"what happened?"

"Is it some kind of temporary state? Or was it stimulated by the death of a companion?"

"No, even 20 years later, there are no such weird changes..."

at this time.Incomparably terrifying pressure emerged from the sky above.

Matthew raised his head, feeling an unspeakable sense of danger stimulating his mind.

The only thing that catches the eye is the seemingly eternal blood moon!
The terrifying pressure passed by in a flash, as if it had never appeared before.

"Ding, the will test is in progress, the will test passed!"

The clear and shining message prompts, and Yaya, who was awakened, told Matthew.

Something important must have happened!
Ordinary soldiers didn't notice, but these aberrant monsters had very obvious changes.

"There must be a change in the Scarlet Moon, and it is a crucial change."

"It is also very likely that due to this change, the influence of the Scarlet Moon will show an overall decline in the next 20 years..."

"This also means that for a long time after tonight, the danger brought by the Scarlet Moon will plummet..."

"But water from a distance can't quench our thirst..."

Matthew silently stared at the deformed fish-men in front of him who had greatly increased their strength, as if they had taken a mutation potion, and felt a very headache.

Click!

click!click!
The aberrant fish-man hit the wooden shield, and the impact began to become stronger and stronger.

Although they did not break through the wooden shield's defense immediately, it still put considerable pressure on the soldiers.

When those ferocious faces with bared teeth and claws, accompanied by roars that echoed in their ears, rushed straight in front of them, not every soldier could hold on.

In particular, the wooden shield gradually cracked open after being torn apart by the aberrant fish-men. Old John and Captain Sean quickly took action to kill the aberrant fish-men who tried to reach in through the gaps.

At the same time, reserve spearmen were mobilized to guard these gaps.

But soon, the rear of the carriage, which was slightly weaker than the shield, began to be broken open by these deformed fishmen.

Regardless of just a change in challenge level, the destructive power of these aberrant fishmen has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The sharp claws transformed from strange bone spurs can already cause considerable damage to the wooden shield. With continued attacks, it is very likely that the wooden shield will be destroyed.

The situation instantly became critical, and the originally solid defense line began to shake.

The spearmen and cart drivers, who had little fighting will, began to panic.

"The original battle plan is no longer applicable. These aberrant fish-men must be killed as quickly as possible!"

"The longer time passes, the more terrifying they are likely to become..."

As soon as his thoughts changed, Matthew naturally could no longer stand, and once again felt the strangeness brought about by the impending doom!

Matthew's divergent thoughts began to converge, and he tore open the scroll. The surging fireball condensed in front of him, and flew out with a roar amidst the surprised cheers of the soldiers.

The observant butler Ralph was pleasantly surprised to find that the fireball technique inspired by the scroll was significantly different in size and speed than the fireball technique that Matthew had just fired by himself.

The information hidden behind this made the old housekeeper very excited!

Boom!

The rotating fireball exploded among the distorted murlocs on the left. Although its power was not as powerful as that released by Matthew just now, because the current distorted murlocs were too dense, there were still more than 30 of them, and the distorted murlocs were horribly impacted by the fireball. The force directly shredded it, and the pressure on the left defense was greatly reduced.

The next second fireball technique flew and landed on the right. With a loud explosion, a large gap was suddenly opened among the densely packed distorted fish-men.

Seizing the opportunity, Angela mobilized the spearmen and shield soldiers in the front to support the rear, and rebuilt a new line of defense before the aberrant murlocs tore the shields apart.

The crumbling defense line became stable again. Angela immediately ordered the soldiers to replace new shields. At the same time, she personally went into battle and beheaded the fish-man owl who took the opportunity to rush in.

The soldiers who retreated felt that they had saved their lives on the verge of death. They were sweating coldly, checking their clothes carefully, replacing their shields, and casting admiring glances at the lord on the carriage.

At this moment, a scene happened that made everyone stunned!
Leon, who had just come down at last and pretended to be resting, suddenly jumped up, brandished his blood-stained sword, aimed at their beloved lord, and struck down hard!
This sudden attack left no one able to react!
