Banner of the Evil God

For most coastal residents, the invasion of the sea tribe is the most terrible disaster, even more terrible than the tsunami.

The so-called sea tribe refers to those marine residents who believe in the goddess of the sea, are hostile to land creatures, and aim to kill all land creatures and turn the continent into a sea of ​​blood. They come from various sources, and the two largest branches are fishmen and sirens.

There are many kinds of creatures in the sea, and they are generally divided into two camps. One group respects the long-dead goddess of life as their mother, is ruled by those powerful demigod creatures, and lives in the ocean and deep sea. They call themselves "people of the sea", and the most important pillar race is mermaids. There are many old predecessors in the tribe who have lived from ancient times to the present, and even witnessed the birth and fall of many gods. The predecessor of "Angry Tide" Heimsala and "Dark Tide" Timsal, the demigod strongman "Living Tsunami" Salament who failed to be deified and split, is one of them, and is one of the beings respected as "Sea King".

The other one is naturally the so-called "sea tribe".

In terms of relations with land creatures, the people of the sea generally hold a neutral or even friendly attitude. On the one hand, this is because their strong strength gives them sufficient confidence, and on the other hand, it is because their living environment is far away from the land, and there is no competition for living space.

The sea people are completely opposite. Most of them live in the near sea and shallow sea, competing with land creatures for living space, and there are great conflicts between them. In addition, their individual strength is mostly relatively weak, and they often suffer losses in small-scale conflicts, so the hatred accumulates more and more, and eventually all land creatures are regarded as mortal enemies.

The earliest sea goddess was originally a neutral natural god, but because she accepted the beliefs of the sea people, she was slowly eroded by hatred, her camp kept shifting, and finally became an evil god.

Every once in a while, the sea goddess will pass down an oracle, asking the sea people to gather at a certain coastline, and then attack the land and kill all the land creatures they see.

This is the invasion of the sea people.

In the invasion of the sea people, those scattered soldiers are not terrible, what is really terrible is the elite troops led by the strong men in the sea. They have no interest in the scattered civilians, but are keen on attacking towns and villages. Every time they capture a place, they will gather all the captives, dig a big pit in the ground, squeeze out all their blood, fill the pit, and then bathe in turn according to their military merits, using this brutal ritual to please the goddess of the sea.

Once they break through the town, they will either die in battle, escape, or become the material of the blood pool. There is no more possibility.

In the past years, the sea tribe has invaded the city of Gars more than once. Although they have never been able to truly break through this big city that the Riley family has worked hard to manage, they always bring deep suffering to the residents of Gars, so that many people are terrified by the sea tribe.

At this moment, a war is breaking out in the city. The city lord and his daughter who believe in the goddess of harvest and Master Sheen who somehow believes in the goddess of swamps each lead their men to fight fiercely. Even the various forces in the city are involved. Where is there any spare energy to help resist the invasion of the sea tribe?

Without them as the core of the defense force, and without the magic circle that was painstakingly built at a high price, can ordinary soldiers and some passionate adventurers really stop the invasion of the sea tribe?

Lei was not sure at all, but he felt that he had to stay and fight hard to buy more time for those who fled.

Liv originally wanted to stay and fight with him, but he persuaded her to leave.

"You still have to take care of little Nis." He said, "Your mother is strong, but she can't spare the energy to take care of little Nis. Steele is unreliable... so you can only rely on you."

The girl wanted to argue at that time, but Lei frowned, glared, and blocked her words with majesty.

"Liv, you are a knight, right? If you are a knight, follow the order!" He waved his hand and pointed at the messy refugee team, "As your teacher, I will give you a task, try to maintain the order of this team, so that they can retreat more efficiently."

"But... I..."

"There is no "but" in the dictionary of knights!" Lei shouted loudly, "Rank, Tig, Steele, you assist her, do you understand?"

Rank immediately obeyed the order and drew his sword to assist Liv in the battle; Mrs. Tig was slightly stunned, then bowed her head to accept the order; Steele frowned and seemed very reluctant, but in the end she did not say no.

So Liv's destination was determined. The girl's eyes were slightly red, but she tried to cheer up, shouting, scolding, punching and kicking, and slashing with the scabbard, trying her best to restore order to the crowd. She even drew her sword and killed a bandit who wanted to take advantage of the chaos on the spot. She waved her bloody sword like a shepherd driving a flock of sheep, trying to make the refugees obedient and not make a mess, and retreat in the direction of her sword.

"She did a good job." Lei folded his hands in front of his chest, watching this scene from a distance, and smiled with satisfaction, "I didn't expect that this little girl really has some command ability!"

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be right. Knight Parn is a talent valued by His Majesty, who is qualified to serve as a secular lord of the Holy Land. His daughter inherited his blood and has been taught by him since childhood. How could she be just a warrior? Maybe her real talent is not in swordsmanship, but in leadership..."

After sighing, he turned around and drew his sword.

"This is really not a battle with a chance of winning...but it is very exciting!"

In the distant port, as the tide approaches, countless fishmen are waving crude weapons and rushing towards them with strange screams. They are in a chaotic mess, with no order at all, but their huge number is enough to scare every warrior who tries to resist them.

Not to mention, there are also a large number of relatively powerful elites such as murloc priests, murloc warriors, and murloc chiefs, who play a controlling role among them. At first glance, the murloc team looks chaotic, but if you look closely, you will find that there are many relatively disciplined groups among them, slowly advancing among the chaotic army.

"Using miscellaneous fish to cover elites is a common tactic used by fish people." The old sergeant came over and said to him, "Thank you for joining. I really didn't expect that an adventurer who just came here not long ago would actually be willing to Risking your life to help us.”

"No one with a righteous mind can turn a blind eye to the massacre that is about to happen." Ray replied, "Especially...when I failed to prevent another massacre that happened not long ago."

The old sergeant was silent for a moment and asked: "What's going on over there in the square?"

"I can only tell you what I saw and what I guessed. I can't guarantee whether it's correct or not."

"Please speak."

"First of all, Master Sheen seems to be a believer of the Swamp God, and he has a very high status. He feels that he may be a chosen one." Ray said, "Although he doesn't seem to want to, his status makes it impossible for him to refuse the Swamp God." God's command."

The old sergeant's eyes widened, his mouth widened, and his face looked dull.

Just this "first" calmed him down. He never dreamed that the future successor of the Riley family, which has believed in the Harvest Goddess for generations and most of its family members hold important positions in the Harvest Goddess Church, would be the chosen one of the Swamp God!

It's like the leader of the cat group turned into a dog, or the king of the daughter country turned out to be a man. It's so ridiculous!

"Then, during the ceremony, he got angry and summoned the clone of the Swamp God to come." Lei said, "Probably using the clone dropped by the god's envoy. That huge slime monster looked nothing like it. It’s a clone of a god, it’s too cheap.”

The old sergeant nodded blankly, completely unaware of the disrespect in Lei's tone.

"Then, He Li was eaten by a slime monster; the slime monster that ate her launched a large-scale attack, turning almost all the spectators in the square who had not had time to escape into slime; the city lord broke out, severely injuring Sheen; En was possessed by the swamp god, and the city owner who couldn't defeat the slime monster also burned his life to summon the incarnation of the harvest goddess to come; He Li's soul turned into a divine creature and led the survivors to fight the slime monster. "Lei said as briefly as possible. Describing what happened in the square, "Right now, there's still fighting over there."

The old sergeant was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

"I didn't understand," he said.

Lei smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Even I, a person who has witnessed it personally, can't figure out what's going on, let alone you!"

"But I know what I should do now." The old sergeant shook his head, driving out the confused thoughts caused by hearing those inexplicable things, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what happens in the square, I am a Coast Guard. I have only one responsibility, which is to resist the invasion of the Sea Tribe and protect Gars City!"

Lei smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "That's right...but do you have any good ideas? If we just fight like this, we have little chance of winning!"

"A way? It's weird if there is a way! To be honest, I'm not optimistic about this battle at all!" The old noncommissioned officer, whose hair was about one-third gray, muttered, "But I have to fight even if there is no other way! I have been fighting in Gal since I was a child. Having grown up in Sicheng, he can be considered a noble after all. You can't just turn around and run away at the critical moment, handing your back to the enemy..."

As he spoke, he suddenly bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out a sharp arrow, shooting a gorgeously dressed young man to death on the side of the road.

The young man probably saw that he was talking to Lei just now and thought that he didn't notice him and wanted to sneak away.

"Article 1 of the Garth Coast Guard Military Regulations: Anyone who escapes from battle shall be killed!"

The old sergeant's voice suddenly turned cold, like the north wind in the cold winter, which made people tremble: "I know that many of you were sent by your elders to get gold plating, and I also know that you usually idle around, are lazy, and deceive the superiors and subordinates... those It doesn’t matter, but it’s time for the Sea Clan to invade. Why did you encounter this kind of thing during your tenure? It’s because this is your fate!”

"So don't complain to me, let alone have stupid thoughts like running away! All you can do is to hold your own weapons and fight!"

"I don't want to hear any excuses from you, and I don't care about these. I am only responsible for two things - first, even if I risk my life, I cannot let the Hai Clan rush over and start a massacre; second, if someone wants to Run away and I'll kill him!"

He looked around coldly. Although he was only a non-commissioned officer with a low military rank, he had a terrifying aura like a giant dragon at this moment.

"Now, prepare to fight!"

Tomorrow is the traditional "God of Wealth Day". I wish you all abundant wealth and prosperity in the new year in advance! Well, it’s best if you have a lot of money. When the time comes, I’ll take advantage of it and wear a thigh pendant or something...
