Broad World

One week passed quickly. Under the command of Corey, an army of more than five thousand people has entered various designated dangerous positions. Temporarily recruited wizards, druids, warlocks and other spell-casting professionals are also gathered in the ducal mansion in the northern part of the city, and the entire Baldur's Gate reveals an urgent atmosphere of the imminent war.

Suddenly, the alarm bell in the wharf area was rang, and the sound of "clang clang clang" spread throughout the city in a few seconds. Henry sat quietly at the table, his eyes fixed on the scene in the crystal ball. I saw a group of monsters with shark heads and fins and webs walking out of the black sea. Most of their skin was green, with dark blue stripes on their backs and abdomen. Since it is night, it is not very clear.

Sahua murlocs are aquatic species that live in darkness. If they are suddenly exposed to strong light, they will instantly develop blindness, dizziness and other abnormal states. Henry had expected that these guys would launch an attack at night. As a result, the port and the coastal fortifications were lit up with strong lights that would not be extinguished. The Sahua murlocs were startled by the sudden light. They closed their eyes tightly and lowered their heads to try to avoid these dazzling lights. .

However, the soldiers guarding the coast obviously did not intend to give the monsters breathing time. They completed three volleys in a very short period of time. After the Sahua murloc screamed, they rushed towards the defenders on the shore like a frenzy. But with the help of the giant crossbow guarding the city, they were shot and killed before they rushed to the dirt wall.

Just when everyone thought the enemy was nothing but this, a large number of Sahua murlocs suddenly appeared in the depths of the sea. These guys swim unhurriedly. Flocked to the beach a little bit. Thousands of Sahua murlocs emerged on the coastline that was several kilometers long. As for the ones just killed. It's not enough for a fraction of the amount in front of you.

Looking at the scene in the crystal ball, Hawke stood up palely. A war of this scale has exceeded his imagination, and the boundless monsters make people completely unable to see the hope of victory. Henry is also a little worried now, because the number of Sahua murlocs far exceeds expectations. He glanced at Corey with an iron face and asked in a low voice: "My commander, how many days do you expect us to guard? Can we ensure that civilians and supplies are evacuated to a safe place?"

Corey immediately stood up and replied: "If we don't consider the cost, we can stay for up to five days to a week. Of course, it depends on the number of enemy priests. If it is small, relying on the air support of the airship, maybe it can be dragged for a long time. Some. But once the number of priests exceeds four hundred, I suggest to evacuate as soon as possible. You must know that most of the sahua murlocs are natural savage warriors. Once they are injured, they will enter a violent state, madly grabbing their opponents until they die. Human soldiers are very prone to despair when encountering this situation, and it may be inevitable that they will collapse across the board."

Hearing this answer, Henry couldn't help feeling a headache. Obviously, mankind is at an absolute disadvantage in this war. Shahua murlocs rely on the sea behind them, come whenever they want. Just leave if you want. They don't use any tactics at all, just rely on the number of advantages and continuous harassment, until the soldiers are exhausted to win.

Seeing the embarrassed look of his monarch, Corey immediately made a suggestion. "Duke, I know that you have placed a lot of traps in the city. It is better to guard for two days, and then pretend to be defeated and lead the Sahua murlocs to the city for street fighting. I can promise. Five thousand troops can definitely annihilate the same number of enemies. Of course, you have to be psychologically prepared, the entire city is likely to be turned into a mass of ruins."

After thinking for a while, Henry gritted his teeth and nodded. "Just do as you say. But there is one thing. We must ensure that all enemies are attracted. I don't want to see these guys burning and looting along the coast. You must know that the coastline of Deepwater City has completely collapsed, and many fishing villages have been destroyed. Destroyed. Countless civilians were killed in their own homes."

"Don't worry. I know what to do to lure Sahua murlocs into the bait. Although these guys are a bit clever, as long as Saikoura (the **** of Sahua murlocs) is involved, even if they know it is a trap, they will never hesitate to rush. Come up." After saying that, Corey bowed and turned to leave the Duke's mansion to set up the task.

Hawk wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Henry with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, I'm sorry. The first time I saw such a big scene, I was really scared. To tell you the truth, I'm sweating all over my body now. Soaked."

"Don't be too nervous. Even if the Sahua murlocs break through the city, we can safely pass through the portal and retreat back to Bluewent City." Henry patted the old man's shoulder comfortingly after speaking. He understands how Hawke feels now. If he hadn't experienced so many big scenes, he might be at a loss.

After watching the ongoing battle on the coast for a while, Henry returned to the Mage Tower alone. Anyway, within two days, it was impossible for the Sahua murlocs to break through these fortifications reinforced with magic. As soon as he walked into the basement, he saw that Shandi was checking the bodies of the newly awakened vampire girls. They started to wake up one after another a few days ago, and now they are all learning how to control their new abilities.

As a vampire, not only has a long life span, but also has many special abilities. First of all, vampires can transform between humans, bats and wolves at will. Secondly, unless exposed to the sun or pierced by a wooden stake soaked in holy water, it will not be easily killed. Once they are fatally injured, their bodies will immediately turn into a gaseous state and float back to the coffin for recuperation. Finally, most vampires have several charm spells that can control most humanoids.

The moment he saw Henry, all the vampires stood up, bowed their heads and waited for orders. He didn't pay attention to the awe, confusion, and bewilderment in these young girls, and came directly to Shandi.

"I think you should know what's going on outside. Tell me how many golems there are in your demiplane. I desperately need an army of puppets that will urge you all the way."

The female warlock bowed with a smile and replied: "There are thirty steel golems, forty stone golems, and more than twenty clay golems in my demiplane. In addition, there are two more. A diamond golem and a shadow steel golem. These loyal guards have been guarding the magic tower, and if necessary, I can let them fight for you at any time."

Henry's eyes lit up when he heard such a huge army of golems. It seems that Shandi's wealth is beyond his imagination. It would cost millions of gold coins to make so many golems even with the worst materials. No wonder so many powerful spellcasters like to explore the outer planes. Although they have to take some risks, the gains are definitely more than ten times that of the main plane.

"Now connect to the portal of the Mage Tower and prepare for an interplanetary teleportation." As he said, Henry returned the coordinates of the demiplane to the Sorceress.

Shandi didn't dare to neglect, she immediately came to the portal and used spells to contact the mage tower on the half plane. When the two portals were connected, she leaned slightly and made a please gesture. "Master, we can pass by now. But it's better to hurry up. The energy of this mage tower is not enough to support it for long."

"Let's go, then, I also want to see what this demiplane looks like." Henry walked straight in after speaking, followed by the female warlock.

After entering the portal, Henry suddenly felt as if he was pinched by invisible power. Although only a few seconds, the feeling is still dizzying. When coming out of another portal, he almost fell to the ground. He leaned on the border of the portal and rubbed his forehead vigorously.

Shandi, who walked out of the portal, saw this situation, and hurriedly walked over and stroked Henry's chest with her hand and explained: "Master, this is how interplanetary travel is. The protection power of the main plane is too strong. We can travel through tiny cracks. So we have to twist our bodies, so some discomfort is inevitable."

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. Now take me to visit the mage tower, and take a look outside by the way." As Henry forced his stomach, he looked around at the surrounding decorations.

Shandi's half-plane mage tower is very well-equipped and covers a large area. The entire tower is divided into five floors above ground and two floors underground, and there are many special rooms. Since the main composition of this semi-plane is biased towards soil, the energy accumulated by the earth elements is very large, accounting for more than half of the reserves of the element pool.

Through the window, Henry even saw the dense woods and various animals outside. Most of them are magical beasts, it seems that the female warlock has turned this into a natural material warehouse. There is a mine not far from the mage tower, and there are about a hundred earth crystal people busy working there.

Because of the abundant earth elements, there are particularly many mineral veins here, and there are abundant reserves of various associated gems and crystals. The local crystal people and Shandi reached an agreement, as long as they wholeheartedly serve the mage tower, they can keep one-third of the total amount of crystals dug. Although these earth elemental beings are omnivorous creatures, they have a special preference for crystals.

After roughly looking around, Henry asked Shandi to return to the main plane with all the golems. After all, the energy of the mage tower is limited, once the energy is exhausted and the passage is closed, the trouble will be big. As soon as nearly a hundred giant golems passed through the portal, the basement, which was originally not very spacious, was full.

In order to save space, Henry had to drive all the vampire girls into the coffin to sleep. These golems are a hole card that can change the game at a critical moment, and he does not intend to show it too soon. After all, Corey currently has no use for airships, dragons, and a large number of spellcasters, which shows that the human armies stationed in several places still have room for power.
