How Am I Still Alive?

Life is not easy, Maomao sighed.

"The alien creatures ahead are human-like, fish-like creatures, and there are so many of them!"

The moment the scout cat on the front line returns the message, the war has been started by the opponent.

The murlocs are very familiar with the "detection range" of humans. When the members of the Rebirth Merchant Group find the first one, they are often already surrounded by heavy siege.

But Lu Ping'an, who had gained experience from veterans, had already dispatched more than a dozen scattered "lurking scouts".

Among them, the cat floating at the front was unable to be noticed by the opponent because it was not in the material world. It ran into the opponent's encircling circle, but...

"Save the cat, save meow!"

The cat, who likes to eat fish, looked at the frantically surrounding murloc army and swam backwards, crawling with claws.

Fortunately, her torpedo boat did not lose its chain again at this time. After the high-speed burst mode was activated, it flew out before the school of fish surrounded it.

And her warning had already had an effect.

"puff."

The sound of water was the sound of a hand-held shuttle (called torpedo by everyone) speedboat falling into the water. Professionals borrowed the help of the machine to quickly complete deep dives and prepared combat responses according to tactical requirements.

On the water, Hua Xueyi and several air riders rose from the ground. Even if the battle was mainly water, they still had to guard against the pressure from the air and the water.

"There are no large water monsters, just small tribes."

Undoubtedly, this is good news.

On the bridge of the Redemption, Lu Ping'an, who was awakened urgently, was not in a hurry to end. He didn't even speak.

He made himself a cup of coffee and sat on the podium with the meat buns, just watching and waiting.

"Fight against, fight against"

Amid shouts and alarm bells, the Redemption stopped.

The defensive magic plants were activated, and pyromancers walked onto the deck one by one. The "Holy Fire Church" in the deck courtyard is the temple of the flame system. During the professional training of Lu Ping'an, pyromancers inevitably appeared.

The veterans jumped into the water one by one, while the "candidate officers" stepped onto the deck.

They are trainees from Lu Ping An's Rebirth Company. Some of them are senior students from Gu University and some are external trainees. Their average strength is less than the second level, and they should be able to make up for the situation.

"Buzz!"

With explosions, the underwater battle began.

The holy fire can also burn underwater, but its consumption and range are extremely uneconomical. The depth bombs thrown by the magic plant catapult detonated one by one, which also gave the local fishmen some small technological shocks.

The real main force is still the combatants of the Lu Ping An team, the backbones who have come all the way.

"die!"

The first one to rush into the enemy group was Senior Brother Guan who always smiled calmly.

Wearing thick protective clothing, he has always been among the top three in water combat adaptability, and now he landed directly in the middle of the fish like a depth bomb.

As long as it touches or even comes close to the opponent, it will instantly twist and turn into a piece of meat.

Xia Qin did not show the posture of the multi-armed sword master. Her "exoskeleton limbs" were twisted and deformed again, turning into a fish tail covering the lower half of her body. Two wings of fish fins appeared behind the mermaid sword master, and the high-speed assault sword master Cutting fish at high speed.

"Woo."

Amidst the screams of the fishmen, "hero units" entered the battlefield one by one.

The pure combat power of Lu Ping'an's men is not large, but every warrior who has come along the way is now as strong as the middle and high-level cadres of other forces.

There were many murlocs, extremely numerous. Driven by their masters, they had been hungry for a long time and pounced on all living things.

"My Lord."

A faint blood color covered these fragile fish-men, and the blessing from the "Lord of Greed" made them thirst for flesh and blood, and they became less fearful and painless.

Efficient killing occurs underwater, and blood flowers float on the surface of the water.

But too many fishmen still broke through the broken defense line of the hero unit.

"shooting!"

Simple "kinetic guns" are also standard equipment for recruits of the Rebirth Merchant Group. When the first group of fishmen successfully boarded the ship, they were greeted by a wave of flintlock guns.

The explosive musket of the quasi-contamination weapon exerted terrible power at close range, and sparks of flesh and blood exploded on the spot.

However, there are still too many fishmen.

Simple stone spears and wooden axes, they screamed and killed their mortal enemies. The two sides did not need to communicate or declare war. After the competition for survival continued for so many years, death or even coming to the dinner table was the best etiquette for treating opponents.

Facing the murlocs who were not afraid of death, the recruits inevitably panicked.

"Boom!"

The huge panda (cat) man jumped out. He stood in front of the recruits with the lowest water ability. After roaring, he expanded again and became a full three meters tall. That giant beast-like body was the guarantee of morale.

He could kick several murlocs away with every step he took, and a piece of them would die with every pounce.

When the high-level professionals devoted themselves to strangling the murlocs, the battle quickly became one-sided. The murlocs left underwater were no match for the new human professional recruits.

But even so, there were still casualties. The more recruits were shaken again, the defense line on the deck fluctuated.

"Knights, guards."

Lu Ping'an's "secretary" Catherine is gone, and the sealed knights from the Silent Mountain World enter the battle. Their presence is enough to stabilize the shaky battle situation.

But Lu Ping'an, as well as Eve and Feier, have been watching and waiting in the bridge.

"14 minutes and 20 seconds."

When Lu Ping'an reported this number, the general red light on the opponent's murlocs had begun to dissipate, the priest's "blessing" had expired, and the murlocs who had regained their sanity began to flee.

And this also means the end of this war.

Yes, it's a war, not a battle. I don't know where the conventional standard comes from. A battle with more than a thousand participants is directly regarded as a war.

This time, not counting humans, there were more than a thousand of these fish-men tribes from the outer space.

"More than 2,600 of them, about 900 of them died, and the rest are running away."

The numbers reported by Mayfair should be more stable. After all, the range and accuracy of the high-level life system's life perception far exceed that of normal "radar".

"Clean the battlefield, there shouldn't be any spoils. Combat bonuses are doubled. Also, we won't eat fish today. We will eat meat and vegetables. Everyone will add a radish and cabbage!"

Since the war started, Lu Ping'an's first words brought bursts of cheers. These days, radish and cabbage can boost morale.

And this is not the first battle that the Redemption and the Rebirth Merchant Group have experienced.

Lu Ping'an didn't take action. He needed to see more of the new team's feedback on the battlefield and find the team's shortcomings.

Overall, I'm still satisfied, but...

"Hey, I still have to take action."

Senior Brother Guan, who was the first to rush out, has probably rushed to the fish people's hometown. Although there should be no danger, he may not be willing to go back.

"You guys clean up the battlefield, and I'll go get him back." Lu Ping'an sighed and got into the water.
