Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

After watching Ying Jingtian leave with the orc army, Ning Yuan immediately rushed back to the naval base in Longgang without stopping, and began to prepare for the conquest of the mermaid clan.

According to the information provided by Xie Yu, the swan scouts quickly found the islands where the mermaid clan lived.

The islands in the waters near the Liaodong Peninsula are basically occupied by the Mermaid Clan. The three largest islands are Changxing Island, Xizhong Island and Fengming Island.

These three islands are the locations of the White Shark Tribe, the Blue Shark Tribe and the Black Shark Tribe, but now the Blue Shark Tribe and the Black Shark Tribe are gone, and all the mermaid tribes nearby have been annexed by the White Shark Tribe.

Although the mermaid family is an amphibious race and can breathe freely in the sea water, they still prefer to come to the shore when they rest, so their camps are scattered all over the land near the ocean on these three islands.

Because the mermaid clan has always been isolated from the world, their technological level is relatively backward. Most of the weapons used by mermaid warriors are made of marine life bones.

These bone weapons have different styles, but their power should not be underestimated, so Ning Yuan wanted to use the smallest cost to capture these islands, so he couldn't give them too many opportunities to fight individually.

Originally, with the current strength of the Condor Army, they could easily capture the three islands, but Ning Yuan's purpose is not just to capture the islands, what he really wants is the population of the Mermaid Clan.

Once the mermaids escape into the sea, the navy of the Condor Empire will have nothing to do with them, so the biggest problem in this expedition is how to trap the mermaids on the island and prevent them from going into the sea.

In order to overcome this problem, Ning Yuan and the generals of the navy held meetings every day, and every time they thought of a solution, they would go to Juhua Island for actual combat exercises.

As a result, half a month has passed, and there is no way to work.

In the end, in desperation, Ning Yuan had no choice but to adopt Xie Yu's suggestion, first capture the island, and then send all large warships to block the entire sea area.

Although the mermaids can breathe in sea water, they can't stay underwater forever. Every once in a while, they have to surface for a breath of fresh air.

The Condor Marines can use their long-range weapons to attack them when they surface to take a breath, and kill them all.

As long as you don't give them a chance to go ashore, and insist on chasing them in the sea,

Then when they can't hold on, they will take the initiative to choose to surrender.

When he heard Xie Yu's proposal, Ning Yuan couldn't help but look at him with admiration: It really is the most ruthless attack among the same clan.

Although Xie Yu is suspected of avenging private revenge, it is also human nature. After all, his tribe has just been destroyed by the other party, so Ning Yuan has no intention of blaming him.

It's just that what Ningyuan needs is the population of the mermaid clan, so he must control the scale of the killing, and try not to shoot the opponent if he can catch them alive.

Therefore, Ning Yuan made some improvements to Xie Yu's method. He dispersed Xie Yu's clansmen to each mana battleship, and transferred a large number of fishermen from the coastal and lake areas.

Ning Yuan's idea is very simple, that is to let the elf rangers use force to intimidate each other, try to shoot them as much as possible, and don't kill them directly.

Then let the mermaids on the battleship surrender them, and let the fishermen cast their nets to catch them.

After making a detailed plan, Ning Yuan personally led the battleship group of the Condor Navy towards the island where the White Shark Tribe is located.

In order to succeed in the first battle, Ning Yuan brought all the mana battleships and mana transport ships of the Condor Navy this time.

Fifty-seven searches for small mana battleships, and forty-six searches for small mana transport ships.

There are two hundred Condor Navy on each mana battleship, and it is also equipped with small catapults and bed crossbows.

Each mana transport ship is loaded with 500 Condor Guards and 500 Elf Rangers.

In addition, Ning Yuan also transferred 10,000 swan guerrillas from Shenying City, and at the same time deployed 200,000 elf cavalry on the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula.

He wants these mermaids to find no landing point, completely trap them in the ocean, and then obediently choose to surrender when they can't hold on anymore.

 …

When the magic warship of the Condor Navy sailed to the waters of Changxing Island, it was immediately discovered by the mermaids on the island.

Facing these behemoths that can drive on the sea, the mermaids were stupefied at first, and then under the command of some little mermaid leaders, a large number of male mermaid fighters began to go into the sea one after another, while the female mermaids and children hid in the sea one after another. In the simple houses on the shore.

After the mermaid warriors entered the sea, they dived in one after another. After a while, Ning Yuan felt the battleship under his feet start to vibrate slightly, and heard a continuous thumping sound.

"No, the enemy wants to scuttle the ship."

Ning Yuan reacted quickly, and immediately ordered all the battleships to move forward at full speed. He wanted to use the speed to get rid of the murloc warriors at the bottom of the ship.

After receiving Ning Yuan's order, all the mana battleships started at full speed.

It's a pity that Ning Yuan really underestimated the mermaids. He saw that the mermaid warrior held the bottom of the ship tightly with two hands, and then used the other two hands to hold a bony weapon, attacking the bottom of the ship vigorously.

Although the mermaid warriors didn't know the mana battleships, they often used this method when hunting large whales and sharks in the sea, so they instinctively regarded the mana battleships of the Condor Navy as their prey.

Ning Yuan made all kinds of preparations before he came, but he never thought that the mermaid clan would be the first to attack them.

He put himself in the position of an absolute strongman, and the most he thought about was how to cause less damage and capture more mermaid people.

He never thought that the mermaid clan would be so powerful, but he just rushed over when he saw their battleship from a distance.

The only good thing is that the weapons used by the mermaids are really not very good, and the mana battleship is very strong, so in a short time, he doesn't have to worry about the mana battleship being scuttled by the opponent.

After using the magic crystal to increase the speed of the ship to the highest level, the sound of thumping thumping was still coming from the bottom of the ship. Ning Yuan's method did not work.

Hearing the annoying thumping sound, Ning Yuan immediately became angry, so he no longer cared about damaging the hull, and directly ordered the mana transport ship to forcibly charge to the beach, while the other mana battleships circled around the island. I don't believe that these mermaid warriors can still hold on to the bottom of the boat.

Originally, the Condor Navy's combat plan was to use the long-range firepower on the mana battleship to disperse the mermaid warriors on the beach, and then let the soldiers on the mana transport ship land on assault boats.

Unfortunately, he still knew too little about the mermaids, so that the entire beach landing plan was completely ruined.

However, Ning Yuan's response was very timely.

The mermaid warriors hid in the sea. Although they had nothing to do with those big warships, if the Condor Navy dared to force the assault boats to land forcibly, then a large number of assault boats would definitely be overturned by them directly. The ship can successfully dock.

The units Ning Yuan used to land on the beach this time were Condor Guards and Elf Rangers.

Although the Shenying Guards are relatively invincible on land, but in the sea, with the armor on their bodies, as long as they fall into the sea, they are basically dead.

Without the enemy actively attacking, they sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

Although the elf rangers are much stronger than the eagle guards, many of them are also landlubbers, so as long as they fall into the water, they basically give them all for nothing.

These two armies were temporarily recruited by Ning Yuan from other places, and he did not conduct targeted training for them, so he knew that they must be allowed to go ashore safely, otherwise the elite of the army might die The sea is gone.

Therefore, in order to successfully disembark the landing corps, Ning Yuan ignored the expensive mana transport ship, and directly ordered all the troop transport ships to rush to the beach at full speed, even the mana battleship he was riding on. .

Seeing these behemoths charging directly over, the mermaid warriors on the beach immediately backed away.

Just when they were about to see what the tiny dots on those huge monsters were, countless birdmen suddenly appeared in the sky. Those birdmen somehow made fishbone, and then let those fishbone stick towards them .

After the unfavorable start, Ning Yuan didn't care to kill some mermaids. In order to ensure that the landing army could go ashore successfully, he directly let the swan guerrillas launch a long-range attack on the mermaids on the shore.

As the dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, the mermaids on the coast were caught off guard.

Accompanied by various wailing sounds, they fled to the inner island one after another.

Under the cover of the swan guerrillas, the Condor Guard and the elf rangers disembarked the mana transport ship top-heavy.

Fortunately, there are no enemies on the beach now. Otherwise, with their current state, only 20-30% of their combat power is left. If they really fight with the enemy, there may be many unnecessary casualties.

The seasickness and the shock caused by the forced landing made these fighters suffer a lot. They rested on the beach for about ten minutes before they recovered.

Looking at the mana transport ships that were seriously damaged, and looking at the soldiers who were safe and sound, Ning Yuan couldn't help but secretly feel lucky.

Fortunately, when he installed the seats, he asked people to install a safety belt on each seat, otherwise, with the impact force generated when the mana transport ship forcibly landed, it is estimated that many soldiers would be thrown out and hit alive die.

Although the soldiers are safe and sound, the dozens of mana transport ships are basically scrapped, and they must be returned to the factory for overhaul before they can continue to be used.

When he thought that he was forced into such a state by a group of mermaids who were still in the barbaric era, Ning Yuan felt an unknown fire in his heart.

After the eagle guard and the elf ranger recovered, he immediately asked them to form a battle formation and start attacking the island.

The Condor Army is no match for the Mermaid Clan in the sea, but after arriving on land, the Mermaid Clan who are completely behind can only let them eat.

No matter whether it is a four-armed, six-armed, or eight-armed mermaid warrior, none of them can break through the battle formation formed by the Condor Guards.

Although merfolk warriors have natural scale armor, it is difficult for elf rangers to hurt them if they don't want to take their lives.

But after the Eagle Guards used the battle formation to separate them, the elf rangers took advantage of their agility to play around with the mermaid warriors, and finally chopped off all their arms.

All of a sudden, the entire island was covered with blood and severed arms, as well as a group of armless mermaid warriors lying on the ground and howling constantly.

After seeing the bad situation, some vigilant mermaid fighters fled to the sea one after another. However, under the planned siege of the Condor Army, only a small number of mermaids managed to escape, and most of the mermaids were captured by the Condor Army. captured.

After learning that Sha Qiang, the patriarch of the White Shark Clan, had not been caught, Ning Yuan immediately had the armless mermaid warriors watched and suppressed alone, and then tied the women and children to large wooden stakes.

After all this was done, Ning Yuan ordered thirty or so mermaid warriors whose arms had not been severed to be escorted up.

After glancing at the angry-looking mermaid warriors, he pointed at the mermaid women and children tied to wooden posts, and said:

"I will let you go in a while, you go and inform those clansmen who are still in the sea, let them put down their weapons, and obediently go to the island to surrender.

Seeing that those women and children were gone, whoever was willing to surrender on the island, I released his family and gave them food and shelter.

If anyone wants to fight to the end, then let him be ready to collect the body for his family.

Tell them, don't take chances, I only give them three days, if after three days, there are still unclaimed women and children here, then I will kill them all immediately.

Come on, let them go. "

After the speech, Ning Yuan didn't care about the reaction of the mermaid warriors, and immediately ordered the eagle guards to drive them out of the camp.

Originally, Ning Yuan never thought of being so radical, after all, he came here to subdue these mermaids.

But when he learned that the bottoms of two mana battleships had been pierced, and they had to forcefully wash up on the beach, he knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted, otherwise he might be trapped here.

Although the mermaids are poorly equipped, their combat capabilities in the ocean are really terrifying, and the Condor Navy has nothing to do with them.

The plans that Ning Yuan made before were all based on the fact that the mana battleship can safely travel in the ocean.

Now under the attack of the mermaids, after only half a day, two mana battleships were pierced through the bottom of the ship, which made all his previous plans invalid.

That's why Ning Yuan made such a bad move. He really has nothing to do with these darlings in the sea.

Although the Condor Navy is all carefully selected elites, no matter how they train, it is impossible for them to match the innate racial talent of the mermaids.

Although on land, the mermaids are vulnerable, but in the ocean, they don't have any natural enemies, let alone one dozen, even one hundred, they have the absolute upper hand, there is no way , These are natural abilities, which cannot be envied.
