Chapter 222: Defending The City
In Fabolus's world, the ocean is several times larger than the land, and the creatures in the ocean completely exceed the land creatures in both type and quantity.
Normally, races living on land would not have the chance to deal with such a variety of marine life.
But there is one special case: the ocean plague.
Marine plague refers to an outbreak in which organisms from the ocean enter the land for various reasons and cause serious damage to terrestrial organisms.
Outbreaks are irregular and may not occur for hundreds of years, but may occur within a year or less.
The causes of outbreaks include natural causes, such as food shortages and natural outbreaks, and subjective causes, such as those caused by humans.
The residents of Bailey City don’t know why these fishermen came ashore, but they know: Trouble! They are looking for trouble.
After the fishmen dispersed the coalition forces of the Lucas family and the Leo family, they swarmed towards Bailey City and surrounded this huge city.
A ten-meter-high city wall.
Rachel ran back and forth, directing preparations to defend the city.
Hurry! Gather all your strength and protect your home!
Guys! Take away the crossbows and replace them with cannons!
Put the arrows and cannonballs where you can reach them! Hurry!
Idiot! Don't put rocks on oil!
If there are not enough stones, keep walking.
Master, the rolling stones are all here.
Then take down the stones from the streets! Pick them up!
yes!
In Bailey City.
Soldiers holding spears maintained order, while the elderly, children, women and other vulnerable people held food and water bags and entered the interior of Dumbledore's house and castle in an orderly manner.
Seek asylum.
Adult men walked to one side of the clearing and picked out spare weapons from the warehouse, which would also become part of the troops defending Bailey Castle.
Somewhere in the dark basement of Dumbledore's Castle.
Earl Dumbledore placed the white scales on an elegant miniature altar and secretly called Lin Qiu's name.
After a while, the altar responded, and a wave of will descended on the statue of Lin Qiu on the altar.
Why did you call me?
There was a hint of confusion and displeasure at being disturbed in Lin Qiu's voice.
Mr. Lin Qiu, according to the treaty we signed, the Dumbledore family has been shipwrecked and is at a critical moment of life and death. We need your help.
After a moment of silence, Earl Dumbledore finally got the answer he wanted.
as you wish.
Earl Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. Under the guidance of Lin Qiu, the treaty signed between Bailey City and White Castle was just an ordinary contract with little binding force. If Lin Qiu was willing to pay some price, he could do it himself Break the contract.
Outside Bailey City, the number of fishermen surrounding the city became larger and larger, as far as the eye could see. They roared crazily from below and rushed towards the crowd on the tower.
Gallo: Old Jimmy, the eyes of those fishmen are actually red, and their mental state is very abnormal.
Old Jimmy looked down at the fishermen who were roaring like wild beasts with a bad expression. Yes, they were just ordinary fishermen. There were no professionals. Someone must be doing something behind the scenes.
Garu thought of the last remaining spell in the armor that was not closed. Old Jimmy, Hogg, don't stay too far away from me after the battle begins.
Old Jimmy and Hogg were stunned.
Thank you!X2
Toward the Rogue Heavyweight: What about me?
Gul: You are too heavy to carry.
The troll leader rubbed his nose in embarrassment when the ogre, who weighed at least 800 pounds, told him he was too heavy.
At this time, Earl Dumbledore returned to the city wall.
My father, is he a hidden number?
Your Excellency Lin Qiu is on his way here.
Very good.
Woohoo.
Suddenly, there was a desolate and low horn sound.
The fish-man tide heard the sound and rushed towards Baili City. The murlocs in front fell into the moat and filled the moat. The murlocs in the back stepped on their comrades in the moat and continued towards Bailey and the city wall.
attack!
From the city tower, the mages fired fireballs and threw them directly at the monsters, clearing an open space within the murloc army, but the gap was quickly filled by the murlocs behind.
Some of the soldiers turned the cannon heads and fired projectiles, and some pulled back the bow strings and fired strings of arrows.
The cannonballs and arrows never missed, but the number of fishmen was too many.
The fishermen rushed to the foot of the city wall, and gradually piled up until the top of the ten-meter-high city wall was getting closer and closer to the city tower.
Quick! Throw stones!
The soldiers of Bailey City and the monsters who helped defend picked up the stones piled behind the passage of the city wall and threw them down without even looking at them. The murlocs were so dense that there was no need to aim at all. Throwing a stone could kill several of them. .
Gradually, the bodies of fishermen continued to pile up under the wall, getting higher and higher.
Rachel was not in any danger and calmly looked at the height of the fishman's body until the fishman was only three meters away from the tower.
pour oil!
Soldiers dropped cans of kerosene or vegetable oil they had requisitioned from civilian homes, and the thick oily substance was poured over the distraught fishermen.
ignition!
As the torch fell, the flames became active and spread rapidly in both directions.
Seen from a distance, the city wall of Bailey Town, starting from where several torches fell, quickly formed a huge fire circle, like a lit wick, and the fishermen behind it flew to their death like moths to the flame.
The fire became more and more intense as the flames ignited the fat on the fishermen's bodies.
Ohh Ohh ohh
The horn sounded again.
The fishermen stopped their deadly act.
From which direction does the sound come?
It seems like the sea!
Gurgelul, Rachel, Gandalf and many others ran to the seaside wall and stared into the distance.
In the distance, densely packed fishermen stood on the ice floes in the sea. (from Zhao)
The magic of eagle eye!
Gurgelu noticed that these fishermen were obviously different from the crazy fishermen on the shore: they carried fish bone weapons and shells and tortoise shell shields.
Some of Bailey's nobles also had similar tools.
Damn it! They are the ones running these fishermen.
what to do?
They were too far away for cannons and crossbows to hit them.
Going down is seeking death.
We relied on the city wall to launch a defensive counterattack.
Everyone said in unison, after all, no one wanted to go down and die.
The flames were still burning, and the air was first filled with the alluring smell of barbecue, and then was replaced by the pungent smell of burnt meat.
The mountains of corpses of the fishermen gradually turned into a mass of charred bones.
The crowd on the city wall could clearly feel that the city wall was beginning to burn, and the rising temperature made the soldiers sweat profusely in the cold winter night, but none of them complained. .
