Struggle in the Steam Age

Because the fish eggs of the Loka murlocs were hidden far away from the coastline, the whole operation took them a lot of time. So when Lawrence and that stood on the coast and watched the group of Loca murlocs disappear after entering the sea, the sun had already jumped up from the sea level, turning the entire sea surface into a piece of gold.

"A new day has begun." Nora turned to Lawrence after looking at the sea. "To be honest, I didn't expect that the Loka murloc leader could choose to act in full accordance with our plan. Especially I believe he should have been able to see that our plan actually has a part to guard against him just now."

The escape plan that Lawrence and the others made to help the Loka murlocs just now is not only to help them escape, but also to guard against them. For example, the bay surrounded by a circle of cliffs is indeed as they said. The pursuit of the sahuayu people can also cause huge restrictions on those lokayu people who enter it.

You must know that the bay is surrounded by cliffs with very high relative heights and steep slopes that are difficult to climb. There is only one waterway in the entire bay that can lead to the open sea, and one channel can lead to the inland area. So Lawrence and the others can easily control the entire bay as long as they occupy that passage and deploy manpower on the cliff.

In any case, the Lokayu people are their captives, and they did join the sahuagin attack on land in this war.

Therefore, in order to prevent the group of roka murlocs from attacking the coastline under the pretext of fleeing, it is naturally impossible for Lawrence to let them go to the island so casually. Letting them temporarily stay in this bay that can be controlled by their own side can be said to be the best solution in this situation.

"Because those Lokayu murlocs have no better solution for the time being. At least from the current situation, if they want to withdraw from this war, they can only do as we said. Otherwise, they will directly Facing the crisis of genocide." Lawrence replied after hearing the emotion of the little doll.

The Loka murloc elder just now naturally saw this too, but he also knew that they had no other choice. Instead of being pushed to death on the front line of the war by the sahuagin as cannon fodder in the subsequent war, he felt that he could still gamble on the probability that these land people would keep their promises.

Not to mention that because of the extremely decentralized political system of the Loca fish people before, as a village elder, he himself could not figure out whether the Rock fish people who had expressed their willingness to follow him before really wanted to choose to withdraw from the war at any cost with him. Still following the orders of the sahuagin, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and use this opportunity to attack the land. So from his point of view, there was nothing wrong with Lawrence's cautious attitude.

After chatting with the villain for a few days, Lawrence went back to his camp to sleep. After all, he had been busy for a whole night last night, and even though he took the opportunity to sleep in the astral plane on the way back and forth, he could still feel that the lack of sleep made him feel a little groggy.

So this time he fell asleep until one or two o'clock before waking up, and then while eating the field meal and listening to it, Safiel, who had just woken up, read the morning to him from the side. The main city sent a message here telegraph.

Fortunately, the sahuayu people did not launch a large-scale attack during the day, so there were not many telegrams sent. After excluding some routine alarm telegrams, only two telegrams are more important to them.

One of them was a reply to Lawrence's previous report to the command about the loca murloc action plan, and the command expressed that it would fully support his plan. In addition, there will be an 800-strong light unit drawn from the reserve team on the command side and sent to Lawrence's side in the name of support.

Of course, this excuse is only used to confuse possible sahuagin spies. In fact, the real mission of this militia-based force will be to go to that bay and cooperate with Lawrence's side to guard the bay. In order to ensure that the planned more than 30,000 Locafish can really withdraw from this war.

The other telegram was sent from the general headquarters on the island after Lawrence informed the main position that Nora had the ability to enchant shells. The telegram stated that if Lawrence can meet his needs, if Some of the spare shells that have been strengthened can be given to them, and half of the meritorious deeds generated after the use of these shells will be given to Nora.

"I think this job can be taken." The little doll who was also eating his fourth meal today said. "Yesterday we obtained enough murloc corpses, and I can use them to cultivate enough special carnivorous fungi and enchant shells. If that's the case, why don't you take this kind of door-to-door benefits? Let alone do such things Work, besides gaining benefits for ourselves, can also help us win the war on our side."

"Have you got enough corpses?" Lawrence asked in surprise after hearing what Nora said. He knew from the communication with the doll before that enchanting itself is actually the easiest job in the whole process of making enchanted cannonballs. At least it is not a big problem to make three or four thousand rounds a day. But the problem is that enchanting materials are too difficult to get.

Because that kind of special carnivorous fungus can only be cultivated by the little puppet Nora for the time being, but the fresh flesh and blood needed to cultivate the most important raw material in this thing is really too difficult to find. After all, the productivity level of agriculture in this era is not only a bit low, but also the long-distance transportation capacity is also much worse. Therefore, it is not so easy to get enough fresh flesh and blood.

Not to mention that the blood medium required by Nora to cultivate this carnivorous fungus requires not only sufficient quantity, but also sufficient quality. If only discarded fish viscera were used as the medium as in the past, it may need to consume tons of this type of raw material to produce a little bit of carnivorous fungus, which is extremely inefficient.

That's why Lawrence had a happy expression after hearing Nora say that she had collected enough corpses, because these murlocs were intelligent creatures anyway, so their corpses were much better than those fish internal organs. So naturally enough carnivorous fungal strains can be cultivated to solve the biggest difficulty in this cannonball enchantment.

After eating, Lawrence and the others followed the dolls to inspect the large culture tank she built to cultivate carnivorous fungi. It is said that the cultivation pool is actually just a temporary large pit built with stones. Inside, there are many sahuagin corpses that have been peeled off and cut open. Some soldiers and The migrant workers kept throwing new corpses into the pit.

"Considering that the loka fish may be our allies now, we threw all the bodies of the loka murlocs into the sea and buried them at sea," Nora said. "In addition, the soldiers told me that the weapons we used this time were too lethal, so we didn't get many complete sahuagin skins. Fortunately, the amount of fish oil we got was not too small."

Because the sahuagin have the habit of eating other intelligent creatures, humans also regard them as beasts in some respects. For example, you can treat sahuagin corpses as you would other beasts.

The most valuable sahuagin corpses are their skin and fat, and their skin can be used as various waterproof leather goods or even soft leather armor after kneading.

And fat can play an important role in coordinating various potions after being boiled and refined into liquid. At the same time, in the eyes of some people in the steam power machinery industry, sahuagin fish oil is regarded as a top-grade Mechanical lubricants.

In fact, sahuagin meat is not poisonous and can be eaten, but because the meat is too thick and foreign, and the taste is not good. So basically no one eats them since entering the industrial age. At this time, Nora's use of these corpses to cultivate her own carnivorous fungus can be said to be an excellent use of waste.

"If all goes well, I think tomorrow morning we will be able to obtain carnivorous fungi that can strengthen 6,000 rounds of shells." Looking at Dakeng Nala, who was gradually filled with sahuagin flesh and blood, said, "In this way, We can definitely teach these rotten fish and rotten shrimp a profound lesson."
