Path of light

Chapter 489 490. The first battle on the beach

On the coastline of Sun Island Bay, the white sandy beach is only a few dozen meters wide.

The beach far away from the coastline is covered with soft and fine glass grass. If you take a few steps towards the jungle, you will see that the grass is covered with a kind of thorn vines covering the sand. These thorn vines not only have tough branches, but also have strong It is covered with poisonous barbs. If you are pricked by these thorns, the wound will hurt for a long time.

After walking through this thorny vine area, you can reach the edge of the jungle next to the coastline.

The mine guard group was stationed in the dense jungle. Roy originally wanted to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment and understand the weaknesses of the murlocs on the beach...

As soon as the mixed-blood elf warriors of the mine guard group set up their tents in the jungle, the murlocs on the beach noticed their presence.

These fish-man monsters stepped across the green grass and screamed when they were pricked by the barbs of the thorn vines, but they still rushed over from the beach.

There were a lot of murlocs on the beach, crowded together and rushing towards the edge of the dense forest.

Their eyes have completely transparent eyelids, and their bodies are covered with a layer of silver scales. They have far more characteristics of fish than humans. Their feet have completely turned into flippers, and they are waving the long knives in their hands.

They seemed to have long been accustomed to fighting with mixed-blood elves, and their eyes were filled with an aura of greed and bloodlust.

…

On the outside of the camp near the beach, a group of mixed-blood elf warriors wearing standard light armor, holding a shield and an elf sword in the other hand, stood neatly into a human wall.

The silver armors worn by these mixed-blood elf warriors are all standard light armors provided by the Silver Pegasus Legion. They not only have shoulder armors, breastplates and trousers, but also greaves and combat boots. The boots are covered with a layer of steel. When walking on thorny grass, you don't have to worry about the thorns pricking you.

In addition, the wrist guards made by elven craftsmen fit perfectly on the arms, and the mixed elves also wore a pair of hard leather gloves on their hands.

Compared to these fully-armed mixed-blood elf warriors, the murlocs that rushed over from the beach were simply a group of refugee beggars. They didn’t even have a hair on their bodies, they were only covered with a layer of scales, and the weapons in their hands were just scrap copper. Rotten iron.

The two sides collided...

The fish-men and monsters rushed forward almost desperately, no matter how injured they were, as long as their weapons could touch the mixed-blood elf warriors, they tried their best to leave a wound on the elf warriors.

It's a pity that these mixed-blood elven warriors are not the mixed-blood elven villagers here in the Bay of Sun Island. They first received the baptism of war on the Pajisto Plateau, and then participated in the naval battle of the Queen Egwene Islands. The mixed-blood elves have experienced two wars in a row. We have mastered some survival rules on the battlefield.

They are well aware of their own advantages: in terms of martial arts, tactics, and armaments, they can almost perfectly crush these murlocs.

The mixed-blood elf warriors neatly raised their elf swords, took a step forward with their shields in hand, and swung their swords at the same time...

'Puff puff'

The sound of the sword cutting through the fish scales sounded almost continuously.

The mixed-blood elf warriors had fought against the murlocs on the Queen Egwene Islands, and also understood their weaknesses. The murlocs were extremely tenacious, and it would take a sword to pierce the back of their heads to kill them completely.

As the elf sword fell, the fish-man elf rushing at the front suffered disaster immediately.

The thin arm holding the long knife was cut off, and the fish-man spirit monster took the opportunity to throw himself on the shield...

These murloc spirits are shorter than dwarves. They desperately rush towards the mixed elf warriors, trying to use their bodies to slow down the progress of the elf warriors.

The mixed-blood elf warriors in the back row took the opportunity to hit these murloc monsters.

Almost at the same time as these murlocs fell, the mixed-blood elf warriors in the front row retreated half a step neatly, and the murlocs at the front fell to the forest floor one after another.

The mixed-blood elf warrior used his shield to block the blades cut by the fish-man elf while using his elf sword to harvest their lives...

The murlocs kept falling into a pool of blood. The morale of the mixed elf warriors was so high that they actually blocked the tidal wave of murlocs from the jungle.

Some mixed-blood elf warriors even took the opportunity to climb into the trees and shoot arrows, pinning the murlocs to the grass.

The fish-men and monsters shouted "wow, wah, wah, wah, wah!" and rushed into the battlefield desperately...

However, there are no sirens behind the fish-man spirits on the Sun Island Bay side, so their threat to the heavily armed mixed-blood elf warriors is minimized.

…

The mixed-blood elf warriors had an advantage on the battlefield, and Roy even felt that winning this battle would be easy.

But he didn't expect that there would be so many murlocs. These murlocs would be so unafraid of death. Even though the grassland was littered with corpses, there were still murlocs crawling out of the sea and running away wet. Go to the beach and rush towards the dense jungle by the sea like crazy.

This battle lasted from noon to dusk, and the entire beach was red with blood. The corpses of fish-man spirits were even piled on top of each other at the edge of the woods.

When the tide rises, waves wash over the silvery beach.

The corpse of the fish-man spirit was beaten by the waves and floated into the sea.

This silver beach was dyed dark red by the blood of the fish-man monsters, and a large amount of blood flowed into the sea.

The smell of blood attracted some sharks, and they kept swimming in the sea, biting the corpses of the murlocs that were swept into the sea by the waves.

The mixed-blood elf warriors thought that the battle with the fish-men and monsters would subside after dark.

Unexpectedly, as the sky gradually darkened, the fish-men and monsters did not stop charging.

The mixed-blood elf warriors in the front row have been rotated seventeen times. Almost every mixed-blood elf warrior holding a sword and shield has fought in the front row for two rounds. Even if the light armor on their bodies is armed to the fingers and toes, they are still in the front row. Many elf warriors were injured by the bites of these desperate murloc spirits.

After nightfall, under the moonlight, the beach is even more glittering...

Deputy Captain Tennyson, who was originally going to lead his team to sneak to the beach to attack the fish-man monsters, was stopped by Roy.

"Timothy, Tennyson, you two take the assassin team to the rear, and I will take them back into the jungle..."

Roy ordered the two Dark Moon Elf captains.

Then he gave an order to the mixed-blood elf warriors, asking them to retreat in steps and confiscate all the tents they had set up in the jungle.

Rows of mixed-blood elf warriors took turns to cover and retreated into the jungle.

The fish-man spirits on the beach are still rushing up reluctantly...

The mixed-blood elf warriors continued to retreat, and the battlefield gradually expanded in scope. As the fish-man spirits rushed into the dense forest, the assassin team soldiers hiding in the shadows of the trees finally began to show their ferocious fangs.

Those fish-man monsters that burrowed into the bushes with blades in hand would often lie quietly in the bushes.

When the murlocs behind them arrived, they discovered that these murlocs always had some puncture wounds on their back skulls, almost all of which had their brains pierced with bayonets...

The mixed-blood elf warriors retreated in an orderly manner, giving these murloc spirits a tasteless illusion. The murloc spirits had always wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from these mixed-blood elf warriors, but they were never able to do so in this battle. At this time, seeing that the mixed-blood elf warriors were beginning to retreat, the fish-man spirits sensed the dawn of victory and rushed forward even more desperately, refusing to let the mixed-blood elf warriors escape from the battlefield easily.

But these fish-men and monsters didn't realize that every time they went deeper into the jungle, the number of companions who fell in the forest would multiply...

It wasn't until the fish-man spirit who rushed at the front realized that his companions behind him could no longer keep up that he realized the seriousness of the matter.

They looked blankly at the mixed-blood elf warriors retreating into the darkness deep in the jungle. They turned around and wanted to withdraw from the jungle, but found daggers sticking out of the shadows of the big trees around them, and fish-men and monsters were constantly surrounding them. Fall down...

For these invisible and intangible enemies, the fish-men and monsters can only huddle together, and only in groups can casualties be reduced.

…

The mixed-blood elf warriors of the mine guard group withdrew deep into the jungle, but the fish-men and monsters finally failed to follow...

The mixed-blood elf warriors sat under the tree to rest and took the opportunity to eat some fruit.

"There are simply too many fish-men and monsters here..."

"In the Key West Islands, I have never thought that fish-man spirits are so difficult to kill!"

"That's because the Key West Islands are not the main battlefield. There are only a few small groups of murlocs running to the Key West Islands, so we can kill them more easily. I heard that on the main battlefield over Queen's Island, these murlocs are in the Kraken Under his command, Queen's Island was almost overturned..."

"Their combat power is very weak. The only thing is that there are too many and they rush up endlessly. If our armors were not sophisticated enough and our swords were not sharp enough, we might not be able to deal with this kind of tide tactics."

A group of mixed-blood elf warriors were still reviewing the battle just now while they were resting.

After all, these murlocs drove them out of the half-built camp. If the casualties on both sides were not considered, these murlocs were obviously the side that had achieved a staged victory.

In fact, Kaka's gryphon regiment also participated in this battle. The gryphon cavalry rained down arrows in the sky, but the murlocs didn't care about the arrows falling from the sky at all, and almost rushed into the jungle with the arrows on their heads. battlefield.

Therefore, in this battle, the Griffin Regiment seemed to have no sense of existence...

After the mixed-blood elf warriors rested for a while, they began to set up a temporary camp in this forest.

…

Kaka also landed in this forest area with a group of griffin cavalry. He did not expect that the mine guard group had just arrived in the jungle of Sun Island Bay and fought a big battle with this group of murlocs.

Although this place is several kilometers away from the beach battlefield, the smell of blood coming from there is still very strong.

Seeing the mixed elf warriors slashing and killing the murlocs until their hands were soft, the village chief of Tiprado and Kaka realized that the reason why they had not defeated these murlocs was probably because they were not ruthless enough...

Now, as long as Kaka closes his eyes, the scene of a beach battlefield filled with blood will appear in front of him.

The blood flowed into the sea, dyeing the coastline within a kilometer red. However, Kaka and the others were flying in the sky on griffins. The panoramic view of the battlefield was unobstructed. The corpses of the fish-men and monsters were everywhere, and even the lions The eagles are having those fish-men monsters for dinner today...

At this time, Kaka discovered one thing, that is, these griffins seemed not to be picky about their food, and they would eat the same when faced with these ugly fishmen.

"Uncle Tiprado, if we continue to kill like this, can we kill all those fish-men and monsters?" Kaka took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress the restlessness in his heart...

"Of course, if the fight continues like this, the fish-man spirits in Sun Island Bay will soon disappear..." Chief Tiprado said from the side.

In fact, he was also shocked by this fighting scene.

He and Kaka originally made a request to Roy, asking him to help deal with the fish-man spirits in Sun Island Bay.

In fact, the village chief of Tiprado did not have such high demands. At that time, he only hoped that Roy would lead the mine guards to drive the murlocs back to the Sun Island in the center of the bay. It would be best to restrain the group of murlocs and let them Live honestly on the island.

What now……

After a battle, both sides are probably red-eyed, and the negotiation that has not yet started may also come to nothing.

Kaka walked to the center of the camp with a long sword, where Roy's tent was pitched, and he was sitting under a tree outside the camp. The light above his head was a faint holy light...

Roy was drawing a sketch on a piece of parchment. Kaka walked over and stretched his neck to look at it for a while:

"Roy, what are you drawing?"

"Tomorrow's battle plan, I'm going to set up a trap and deal with as many murlocs as possible before they react." Roy said without raising his head.

Kaka heard what Roy said, and moved forward curiously. After looking at it for a while, he still couldn't understand what Roy was drawing.

"Uncle Tiprado plans to call all the mixed elves living around here tomorrow and ask everyone to join the battle..." Kaka said to Roy.

"It's not necessary now. These murlocs probably haven't reacted yet. I want to take advantage of this moment to reduce the number of these murlocs." Roy put down the charcoal in his hand, patted Kaka on the shoulder and said to him :

"It doesn't matter, just pull the guard group off the plateau and conduct a practical training." Roy said optimistically.

There is a team of assassins ambushing the murlocs in the jungle. These murlocs have no chance of approaching the guard camp deep in the jungle at night.

But the next morning, Roy returned to the battlefield with a team of mixed-blood elf warriors, and found that all the fish-man elf corpses on the beach had disappeared. If the beach was still a dark red, it might not be possible to tell whether it was the same place as yesterday. A battlefield with mountains of corpses.

And now on the beach, in addition to a large number of murlocs, there are also some murlocs riding strange sea beasts. When Roy saw them at first glance, those unusually ugly sea beasts looked like toad fish... …
