Struggle in the Steam Age

Bang, bang—just when Nora was about to release a spell to destroy those monsters directly, the heads of those monsters exploded. Then came the sound of gunfire from the cliff.

After hearing the gunshot, the little puppet subconsciously condensed its mental power into a line and swept towards the place where the gunshot came from behind. It turned out that Lawrence was waving a signal flag and commanding the Ratman precision shooters hiding in the cave to seize the opportunity Killed the monsters with enchanted bullets.

Theoretically speaking, the monsters summoned by [Oath from Another World] can be very powerful. For example, there is a mage in the New Island Republic who can use this magic to summon a large group of highly poisonous double-headed snakes. Although the effect of poisoning the highest-level transcendent is not great. But if used on the battlefield, it can completely cause a lot of casualties to the enemy.

However, the level of the sahuagin priests below is very average, and the level of the summoned monsters is naturally low. So they were quickly shot down from the sky like turkeys by precision marksmen using magic weapons, and not even a single monster could even approach the top of the cliff, let alone launch an attack.

After the air forces organized by the Sahuayu people lost their combat effectiveness, the artillerymen on the mountain also prepared their own mortars again and continued to shoot towards the entrance of the bay below the mountain.

Facing these shells falling from the sky again, the sahuagin who were passing through the shallows at the entrance of the bay in a dense formation were caught off guard, and batches of sahuagin fighters were killed on the beach in such a dense formation superior.

"Traitor! Incompetent!" The sahuagin prince, who was watching the battle on the wave behind, shouted angrily when he saw the armored sahuagin elite troops dying like this for nothing. "Those damned priests have been in the church for so long and haven't learned anything but snapper. I should sacrifice them all before this war."

"Your Highness, what you said is really unfair." After hearing what the prince said, a sahuagin high priest next to him said in a hasty tone. "I believe everyone has tried their best at this time, but those humans on the cliff are too powerful—"

"Shut up! Isn't it that those priests are cowardly and afraid of death, and lack the courage to dedicate themselves to the gods?" The prince interrupted the high priest's words with anger and pointed to the priests who were hiding in a safe place and releasing magic in the distance . "If they were willing to charge forward against the attacks of those damned humans like the soldiers, we would have taken down the cliffs on both sides long ago."

"Your Highness, you need to know that the priests who can serve the gods are all carefully selected, and they are completely different from those warriors. It is impossible for us to use them like warriors."

The high priest said nervously. "Without the fighters, we will be able to train the same number or even more fighters in ten years, but if the priests are gone, even if we win this time, it's impossible—uh——"

Before the high priest finished speaking, the sahuagin prince who was already in a state of rage next to him stabbed the high priest's chest with his spear, and then picked up the corpse with his arms And using magic to amplify his voice, he shouted at the surrounding murlocs.

"I have now executed the high priest who was cowering in the war." The prince's face showed a look of fanaticism, with veins bursting out on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot. "In the name of God, I will execute all those who are not determined in battle. Now that the Great Devourer is watching us, we will surely win the final victory of the war."

After speaking, he stared at the priests who had been hiding in a safe place before casting spells with blood red eyes. After being looked at by his bloody eyes. All the priests immediately left the rear, which seemed relatively safe before, and then bravely rushed over the cliffs on both sides of the entrance together with the sahuagin commandos.

But at this time, due to the chaos on the field, all the sahuayu people present did not realize that the extraordinary power and the essence of the flesh and blood contained in the high priest did not dissipate in the air like a normal extraordinary person died. Instead, it entered the prince's body along the spear in the hand of the sahuagin prince.

Before the war broke out, the sahuayu people did prepare a large number of magic scrolls similar to stone shaping to clear away possible obstacles on the road, but because they found that the area on the cliffs on both sides of the bay entrance was very small during the pre-war investigation, I feel that according to usual experience, it is impossible to have too many soldiers and weapons stationed on it.

So those scrolls were all strengthened to the commandos who went ashore, so that they could open up the road to the land as soon as possible.

But they didn't expect that the mortar, a brand new weapon, would be able to unleash as much firepower as the previous heavy artillery in just a few square meters of land, and they didn't expect that Nora could display the spell level of a group of mages by herself. Under such circumstances, the sahuayu people must suffer huge casualties if they want to continue to attack.

After the sahuagin prince directly stabbed the high priest to death and issued an order to attack at all costs, all the previously blocked murlocs flocked to the coast like crazy. certainly. These murlocs didn't rush to the entrance of the strait, which was more than 30 meters away, as if their brains were flooded, but launched a full-scale attack based on the large number of people.

For a time, all the people crawling densely on the cliffs near the coastline were sahuayu people. I have to say that this tactic is indeed very elite for the army as a whole, but Lawrence and the others, who are obviously insufficient in number, are very effective.

For a while, a large part of the mortars that originally blocked the shoal at the entrance of the bay had to turn their muzzles to attack the enemies who surrounded them from all directions.

Fortunately, because of the terrain, even if this group of sahuayu rushed up the mountain, they couldn't rush up in one breath like they did on the flat ground. Therefore, the human army guarding on the mountain was still able to wipe out all the sahuagin who climbed up the cliff scatteredly under the cover of artillery.

"Damn! Damn! It shouldn't be like this now." The sahuagin prince holding a spear inlaid with various pearls and gems shouted angrily, because he saw the group of sahuayu under his urging The murlocs launched an all-out attack regardless of casualties, but the advantage on the battlefield did not fall to several sides as quickly as he imagined.

The red-eyed, mad-faced sahuagin prince observed the battlefield with what little sense he had left, and found that the all-out attack had indeed successfully dispersed the firepower of the human guards, allowing many of his subordinates to follow along. The entrance to the harbor successfully rushed into the harbor, but the rate of casualties soared to three times that of the past.

If this situation continues, even if they successfully break through the Gulf defense line, they may not be able to mobilize enough troops to attack the urban area.

For the sahuayu people, the lack of troops is only a secondary problem. What is more deadly is that the current defense of humans has greatly reduced their marching speed. For the sahuagin, the most important thing about this raid is to be fast. It is necessary to rush to complete the entire assault process before the frontally defending troops have time to react.

But the defense of Lawrence and the others seriously hindered this plan. Even under the strict order of the sahuagin prince, the sahuagin army broke through the defense line regardless of the cost, but under the attack of human firepower, it was delayed for more than ten minutes. time, and now only 1/3 of the people can pass through the defense line built by humans. The rest of the people were all down on the road.

"I can't go on like this anymore, I really can't go on like this anymore, I have to take action, yes, I should do this—" the sahuagin prince muttered frantically after seeing the situation on the field, Then he took out a book from a shell that was clearly space equipment on his body. "Yes, yes, I should have done that long ago."
