Struggle in the Steam Age

After half an hour, Lawrence and the others successfully wiped out all the murlocs and the monsters under their command. At the same time, the sound of gunfire and explosions in the direction of the main position gradually became less and less. It seems that the battle tonight should be over, and the murloc's night attack can be said to have been a complete failure.

Because Lawrence and the others only had single-digit wounded and none of them were seriously injured, after they healed their wounded in a short period of time, they sent a group of medical soldiers who had received simple medical training to take them with them. All kinds of healing potions and medical tools went to the main position, ready to help the port area, which seemed to be fighting fiercely just now.

"How is the battlefield cleaned up now?" Lawrence returned to the fortress at the top of the peninsula after seeing off the medical team, and saw Safir and a few soldiers walking in with a lot of miscellaneous things. In a fortress, he casually asked, "How about the harvest?"

"More than half of the battlefield has been cleaned up now, and we can be sure that basically all valuable targets have been cleaned up." Safiel said helplessly. "But what was seized was too little. Except for the four-armed sofas and nobles who led the team, and the occasional few priests in seaweed robes, there was nothing on them."

Think about it, too, don't think that the sahuagin can establish strict rule or even have a so-called country. But an important problem faced by intelligent creatures living in the ocean is that any metal is extremely expensive for them, and the direct consequence of this is that the production tools are seriously backward, which in turn makes the overall productivity extremely low.

"There's no way around that. After all, you shouldn't expect them to build smelting furnaces in the sea." Lawrence shrugged helplessly. "It's no wonder that there are basically not many people who take the initiative to clean up those sahuayu people who live on the shallow sea continental shelf. It seems that they obviously think that this approach is not worth the candle."

Lawrence looked at more than half of the booty that had been searched in the corner of the fortress. He had to say that these booty looked a bit shabby, and only some marine specialties found from priests and nobles could be worth some money. But even this is barely equal to what Lawrence had consumed before.

You must know that the ammunition that Lawrence consumed before was produced from his own military factory, so the internal price was used, and the overall price was much cheaper than the standard price on the market. In other words, if such a battle is properly placed on others, the only way to go is to lose money.

"Actually, it's not impossible for us to get this back." At this moment, Nora flew in through the gunhole, holding a bag woven from seaweed stuffed to the inside. "I checked some information before I came here. One of the important reasons why humans seldom attack this group of sahuagin is that it is difficult for us to move underwater at a depth of several hundred meters."

"As marine intelligent creatures, these sahuayu people often collect various underwater specialties, and those underwater specialties are very valuable to our terrestrial intelligent creatures. As for the wealth we have seized now is relatively small. Because this group of murlocs came out to fight, it is naturally impossible to bring all that money to themselves."

"If you say that, we can copy their lair after the war." Hearing what Nora said, Lawrence immediately thought of a good way. Compared with other people who need special magic props or invite someone to go underwater Casting spells, he can now summon a large group of phantoms of underwater creatures. If he cooperates with Nora, who can move freely on the seabed, it may be a bit troublesome to attack sahuagin big cities, but cleaning up other settlements should not be a problem. big.

"Good idea, and we can also find some allies to help." Safiel added after Lauren finished speaking, "For example, I think the Loka murloc is a very good candidate for cooperation. Because we were cleaning the field just now When we captured a group of loca murlocs in a depression, they surrendered voluntarily. And the murloc leader wanted to talk to us."

"Oh? Loka murloc captive?" Hearing what Safir said, Lawrence immediately became interested. Because the sahuagins attacked Lawrence tonight, there were too many locagins in the forwards on the flanks of their position. However, according to the tradition of the roca murlocs, they generally do not interfere with the land races.

So when Lawrence heard that there were prisoners, he wanted to talk to them to see what was going on, maybe he could find out the specific reason why these locathians appeared here and find a way to get them out of the war.

Perhaps because the soul comes from another world, Lawrence is not a great humanist. In his eyes, as long as he is willing to get along with each other, he can abide by the rules and assume the same obligations without discrimination. Then, whether it is human beings or anything else, they are all equal and can obtain the same rights.

Not to mention that war is an act of extreme labor, wealth and death, and it is far inferior to peaceful negotiations in terms of cost and efficiency. Therefore, when dealing with different races, he is more inclined to achieve win-win cooperation through peaceful negotiations. And slowly through economic integration, these alien races will be incorporated into their own system. That's why he managed to organize a multi-racial mixed army in such a short period of time.

It's just that this method of negotiation is ineffective for the sahuagin, because the sahuagin are as strongly exclusive as the goblins, and even crazier than the goblins. In their three views, only their own kind are the real "human beings", and all other creatures are just their food. The only difference is whether to eat it right away or eat it later.

And it is also an aquatic creature, as a kind of intelligent creature with a high IQ, it is impossible for the Rokayu to not know about the sahuagin. Therefore, it is very likely that they appeared in the attacking army this time because they were coerced by the sahuagin in some important aspects, so they had to participate in this aggressive action.

Therefore, after confirming that each position has completed the post-war battlefield arrangement and is ready for the next round of battle at any time, Lawrence took Safir and the two priests to a temporary prisoner-of-war camp at the root of the peninsula. They are going to interrogate the prisoners of this group of Loka murlocs.

The so-called temporary prisoner-of-war camp is actually a seawater pool temporarily built using depressions. After all, these loca fish are not suitable for leaving the water for too long, so after capturing them, the soldiers temporarily dug a ditch to put them in the water. Water is poured into this depression to create a saltwater pool the size of two standard swimming pools.

After arriving at a small fortification by the side of the depression, a wet locather was brought in by two fully armed tauren warriors. Then, under the effect of the magic spell released by the two priests, Lawrence and the others began to preside over the interrogation of the prisoner.

Unlike the tall and burly sahuagin, the locagin are just a group of little guys a little over 1.5 meters. Although they also have a human-like appearance, at first glance you think they are more fish than humans.

And from a human point of view, the locatha seem to look similar, the only difference that can be seen is that the female locatha has two more ocher markings that symbolize the ability to lay eggs.

Therefore, even if Lawrence took the initiative to observe the other party as soon as he entered the door, he knew nothing about him other than confirming that the locayu in front of him was male. Language, so with his active cooperation, Lawrence and the others finally figured out what was the hidden problem behind this matter.
