Глава 266.
264th threat from the ocean
С тех пор как Генри стал арканистом, он скрывался в башне магов, чтобы проводить различные эксперименты с заклинаниями. Особенно недавно освоенная магия девятого уровня требует большого контакта для увеличения скорости произнесения заклинаний. В конце концов, это вторая жизнь мага, и не стоит слишком полагаться на эти «матрицу заклинаний», «последовательность заклинаний» и прочую магию гладких волос.
Just when Henry was obsessed with exploring the profound knowledge of magic, a piece of information from Robert pulled him back to reality. Recently, the number of Shahua murlocs along the coast of Jianwan area has begun to increase sharply. Although the attack has not yet been launched, several important maritime trade routes have been threatened.
Seeing this piece of information, he hurriedly stopped the research in his hands, immediately sent someone to notify Corey and asked Hawke to prepare accordingly. Although Sahua murlocs are unlikely to invade the land, they are very fond of plundering ports. It is said that these guys are violent and bloodthirsty, and everything they pass will be in ruins.
More than an hour later, Hawke and Corey arrived at the Mage Tower at the same time. For people living by the sea, there is nothing worse than this. If Sahua murlocs attack the port, the only thing that can be done is to evacuate all people and materials near the port.
«Ваше превосходительство, эта информация точна? Я так много лет живу на Западном побережье и никогда не слышал о нападении мурлоков Сахуа на порт ». - поспешно спросил Хоук, как только он вошел в дверь.
Увидев рвение старика, Генри кивнул с кривой улыбкой. «Я тоже надеюсь, что это ложь, но это предупреждение от самого Роберта. Он столько лет руководит разведкой и ни разу не ошибся ».
“Damn! What are these robbers in the sea planning to do? They don’t really want to invade the land, do they?” Hawk cursed fiercely and continued to ask.
Henry thought about the information in the book and shook his head. Sahua murlocs cannot stay out of the water for too long, otherwise their skin will begin to dry out, become dehydrated, and eventually lead to death. They are not suitable for living on land at all, so large-scale invasions inland can basically be ruled out.
Corey took two steps forward and bowed solemnly and said: “Your Excellency. I advise you to plan early. Whether it is to evacuate the coastal residents or organize the army to resist, it will take a long time. According to intelligence. In the estimated number, they can attack almost any port along the coast. And many ships also need to be dragged ashore to hide, otherwise they will all be scuttled.”
“That’s right. I now grant you the right to mobilize all the troops of the entire Baldur Gate, and establish a line of defense on the coast for about one kilometer as soon as possible. In addition. I will also transfer 30 mages and 20 druids. It’s up to you to command, remember, you must protect the safety of these casters, each of them is hard-won.” Henry promptly issued the order.
Услышав, что будет заклинатель, Кори сразу же радостно салютовал военным. «Не волнуйтесь, сэр. Пока я еще там. Эти грабители в море никогда не прорвутся через линию обороны. Кроме того, можно ли мобилизовать ваш дирижабль? Мы можем бросить с неба взрывоопасные газовые баллоны. Из-за сильного огня нефти и копья мурлоки не смогли контратаковать, потому что находились на большой высоте ».
“Of course, you can mobilize it to fight at any time.” Henry readily agreed to this request. That airship was originally used in the military, and it happened to be able to use these murlocs to try out its power. You must know that he spent a lot of money on this, and only the materials and enchantments cost more than two hundred thousand gold coins. The outer shell of the airship airbag is very strong. Ordinary bows and arrows and javelins can’t be shot at all.
After Corey got what he wanted, he left the Mage Tower. He still has a lot to do, and he has no time to waste here. Seeing that the knight had left, Henry told Hawke: “You will start to organize the evacuation of residents along the coast now. In particular, all the port areas of the coastal cities will be evacuated for me. Don’t leave a board for these robbers. Yes, all maritime trade will be suspended from today, and all materials will be transported by airships.”
“Even the Angkor Islands must be prepared for war?” Hawke asked in a puzzled way. In his opinion, the Sahua murlocs are merely gathering in Jianwan, and should not threaten the city of Bluevent in the tropics.
Рассматривал какое-то время. Генри кивнул. «Да, проинформируйте все прибрежные города, чтобы они были готовы. Однако два города на острове пока не нуждаются в эвакуации, если они обеспечивают безопасность ».
After getting a clear answer, Hawke also hurriedly left. His task is heavier than Corey, after all, most of Baldur’s Gate warehouses are still alive in the port area. Moreover, the Shuihou Hall is also a huge hidden danger. God knows if Amboli (Goddess of the Offshore), the chaotic and evil goddess, will follow along with her.
Henry sighed inwardly. I originally wanted to leave for Amn earlier, but now it seems to be a complete failure. While sending people to inform the Lords Council of Deepwater City to prepare, he personally came to the lighthouse near the sword coast to check the terrain. After all, around the city, this is the only place suitable for large-scale login.
Глядя на длинную береговую линию, Генри нахмурился. Здесь нет опасного места для защиты. Единственное, что можно использовать - это заброшенный маяк. Вдоль пляжа он прошел немного дальше на север и внезапно обнаружил несколько синекожих гуманоидов, бегающих по пляжу. Судя по их бугристым фигурам, все они должны быть женщинами.
Генри очень заинтересовали эти существа, и он быстро применил «технику скрытности», чтобы незаметно последовать за ними. Когда я отчетливо увидел лицо женщины, я был поражен. Оказывается, все эти красавицы с синей кожей - морские чудовища. Это злое морское существо, которое любит соблазнять людей или эльфов спариваться и убивать отца ребенка после беременности.
He followed the siren to a very hidden cave. The entrance is completely covered by seaweeds and other things. If you don’t observe it carefully, you will most likely think of it as an ordinary rock. After the siren entered the cave, she communicated with her sisters with a strange singing voice for a while, and then began to eat. Their food is very simple, just ordinary fish, shellfish and seaweed.
Henry waited patiently for more than an hour. It wasn’t until all the Krakens gathered together that they secretly released the “Yabidaqi Withering Technique” in a corner, and the brown-white mist instantly filled the cave. The female siren found that the water in her body was rapidly decreasing. They screamed and wanted to escape, but the entrance of the cave was sealed by magic and could not rush out.
In just ten seconds, most of the female siren was slaughtered. For these monsters who kill humans for pleasure, Henry has always implemented the policy of killing if you can. He carefully explored the entire cave and found not only a large number of human bones, but also a huge iron box hidden in a crack in the stone.
Using the “percussion technique” to open the lock above, Henry found a “Handbook of Physical Health”, a magic cloak, and finally more than 20,000 gold coins and some miscellaneous things. He suddenly remembered, isn’t this the treasure in the game. Both the location and the magic items inside are exactly the same. He unceremoniously used the “Physical Health Manual” to add a bit of physique, and then used magic to identify the cloak.
Плащ волка: «Ошибка Рилера»
Можно сказать, что процесс создания этого плаща полон иронии. Райли - маг, который переоценивает свои способности. В процессе изготовления этого предмета одежды он превратился в оборотня. Владелец этого предмета может произвольно менять свое тело. Но Райли повезло меньше.
особая сила:
Стать волком по желанию
Глядя на этот волшебный плащ, у Генри возникло ошеломляющее чувство. У этой штуки нет никакой пользы, кроме как помочь этим неоперившимся новичкам сбежать. Боевая сила волка очень ограничена, и многие ветераны могут легко убить одного. Сметая сокровище, он вернулся прямо к воротам Балдура и рассказал Кори о своем плане построить укрепление на маяке.
The next day, an army of four hundred people set off from the city and rushed to the lighthouse to start building the earth wall. They must complete all construction within a week. According to the latest intelligence from Robert, the army of Sahua murlocs has begun to march towards the coastline. These robbers destroyed all the ships along the way and slaughtered the crew above.
Seeing that things had deteriorated to such an extent, Henry didn’t care if panic occurred, and immediately issued an evacuation warning to the whole city. At the speed of the Sahua Murloc, it will take up to eight days to reach the Baldur’s Gate. The civilians were in an uproar when they heard the news. They quickly packed up their valuables, and went to their relatives and friends to wait for the time to come back. Even the Archmage Habassah immediately closed the mage tower and took a few apprentices to take refuge in the interior. Before leaving, give Henry some magic potions and scrolls.
It was a little too late when Anta Silver Shield got the news. He ran over to meet Henry in a hurry, saying that he had no extra power to guard the Baldur’s Gate, and completely gave up the control of the other half of the city.
If it was in normal times, Henry would be very happy to accept but now the entire Jianwan is facing threats from the ocean, and his forces at hand are also very tense. It is said that the dock area of Deepwater City has been breached by Shahua murlocs, and all houses and buildings have been destroyed. According to information from the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce, the death toll was as high as 30,000.
Even legendary mages and voters such as Kelben and Laila failed to block the attack of the Sahua murlocs, and Henry did not dare to expect that he would succeed. His goal is simple: try to ensure that no population and goods are lost. The army only needs to support for a period of time to ensure the safe evacuation of everyone.
As the murlocs get closer, the nerves of the people staying here are highly nervous. Except for the army, there are no other people in the city now. Even ordinary people who don’t want to leave are forced to be sent inland. Henry has buried a large amount of fire oil and explosives near the Baldur’s Gate, intending to use this as a bait to attract all the Sahua murlocs, the biggest The effective force of killing and wounding the enemy to the limit.
