Struggle in the Steam Age

The temporary camp where the sahuagin are now stationed is very different from the human camp. One of the most obvious differences is that except for a very small number of high-level sahuagin where they barely use seaweed and branches above the space where I live, The so-called camps of most sahuagin are just a circle of messy things around a small piece of seabed, and there is no roof at all.

Although the sahuayu people are all a group of paranoid, unfortunately because of their intelligence, strength and numbers, they can be regarded as one of the most powerful races among marine intelligent creatures. They will build magnificent cities in the deep and dark trenches, and establish many forward fortresses and strongholds in the offshore area to support their large-scale plunder and killing of the land races on the coast.

These evil creatures have always hated land creatures with incredible fervor. Therefore, for them, plundering and aggression within a few kilometers from the coast can be said to be a daily behavior of them. So naturally, a set of norms for troops to attack was summed up.

Unlike the construction of various magnificent buildings in the seabed settlements, if you leave those strongholds to fight, the temporary buildings built by the sahuagin in the field camp are much more casual, except for some sahuagin nobles and The priest is willing to take the time to build some buildings that are similar to large shacks in the eyes of the dolls. The other sahuagin just use some sundries to surround their sleeping spaces in small groups.

In addition, the sahuagin basically do not build any fortifications. For example, there are no sentry towers, obstacles, trenches, or other things that humans often build. All defenses are maintained by the sahuagin patrols riding on the back of sharks, except for the magic of the altar.

Such a distinctive defense system is entirely caused by the special conditions of the seabed. The fortifications and obstacles used for plane defense similar to those used by land humans are of almost zero value here. To give the simplest example, marine organisms can easily bypass all obstacles as long as they leave the bottom of the sea and float up a little.

In addition, there is naturally no need to consider issues such as rain on land at the bottom of the sea. Therefore, the barracks of ordinary sahuayu people only need to use some things to surround and mark the space they need, and there is no need to spend a lot of energy building roofs, which they don't use at all.

But now, this habit of the sahuagin people has given Nora a good opportunity, as long as she floats up a little distance, she can easily and accurately detect the sahuayu people in the camp with ease. specific situation. After carefully walking around the core area of ​​the camp, Nora found a lot of valuable information.

"The main force of the sahuagin, at least the main force of the sahuagin fighters is here." The little puppet said through the connection in the soul, "and the whole camp should be in a kind of fanatical preparation, I saw quite a few sahuagin repairing their weapons and using the resources at hand to create some portable light defensive shelters."

While talking, Nora shared all the pictures she saw with Lawrence. In these shared pictures, the little puppets not only marked the specific identities of the sahuagin in the picture with various colored apertures, but also specially used some red circles to Circle the key points that you think are more important.

Some of the circled key points are temporary weapon workshops in the sahuagin warrior gathering area. You can see many sahuagin lining up at the entrance of the workshop to repair their tridents or underwater crossbows . The others are located in the civilian areas near the periphery. It can be seen that the sahuagin civilians collected various materials from the surroundings to make things similar to large shields and even wooden donkey siege vehicles.

In addition, those war sea beasts located on the periphery are also being further strengthened. Some spellcasters who look like sahuagin are ordering ordinary sahuagin civilians to collect some shelled molluscs, and then cast spells on those war behemoths, making these war behemoths They gain stronger defense capabilities.

"It seems that they are going to launch a large-scale attack." After reading the pile of information that Nora passed to him, Lawrence immediately made his own judgment. "However, there is a doubt here, that is why this group of sahuayu think they can win. You must know that the previous attack has proved that if they attack from the front by force, they will not actually have any advantage. Facing disastrous defeat on a battlefield not suited to them."

"I also find it a bit suspicious when you say that." After hearing what Lawrence said, Nora also showed a thoughtful look. After only a few seconds, she made a decision. "We can't see anything just by looking at the periphery like this, so if we want to get more accurate information, we must go to the core area of ​​the camp."

After finishing speaking, Nora manipulated the power of faith to hide all the aura on her body, and then swam directly to the core of the entire sahuagin camp. When he got close to the seabed at the core of the camp, he found that the surrounding patrols were much denser than before, and at the same time, there were sahuagin priests in several patrols. More importantly, there are many magic powers sweeping around in the entire sea area, as if they are looking for something.

"It seems that their vigilance has been strengthened a lot since we rescued the Roka murloc eggs last time." Lawrence, who observed the surrounding situation through shared vision, whispered. Obviously, the loca murlocs around must have prepared a lot of detection magic similar to [see through invisibility], just to prevent someone from raiding their camp.

"But they definitely can't see me." The little puppet said, and then easily floated past a sahuagin priest holding a crystal ball. Thanks to the strict internal hierarchy of the sahuagin, Nala immediately locked on to several giant shacks in the core area after a brief look and swam over.

Although Lawrence and the others scorned these buildings as shacks because of their shape, in fact these large buildings did not look much smaller than the small two-story buildings in the city, and they also had complex structures inside. Fortunately, the walls of these houses are not as tight as the buildings on the shore, so Nora can observe the specific conditions inside the rooms through the gaps in the walls without venturing into the buildings.

Fortunately, when the little puppet came to the outside of the building where the prince who should lead the team this time lived. I happened to see a dozen or so sahuagin gathered in the living room of that not-so-big room. From the dancing movements of the sahuagin inside and the intense cooing and croaking, it can be deduced what issues they should be discussing now.

Because of the previous gift package from the God of Knowledge, Lawrence could naturally understand what the sahuayu people were discussing. It's just that because they came a little late, they only heard the last few minutes of the discussion. Fortunately, even if they only heard the last bit of conversation, Lawrence and the others knew from it that this group of sahuagin had purchased a large number of things from the outside world.

"The wealth worth 15,000 standard pearls, who actually brought out such a large batch of goods?" After the discussion, the sahuayu people naturally went to have a little supper, and Nora simply found someone who could keep an eye on this building. A clump of water plants at the exit of the building was hidden inside and then said to Lawrence.

The sahuagin use round pearls the size of pinballs as their currency in circulation. A standard pearl costs about 100 yuan from the White Eagle Federation. And 15,000 standard pearls are almost all the liquidity for the current power of 1/5 of the Sahuagin Kingdom.

Therefore, Lawrence and the others were very curious about what this group of sahuayu people bought with all their money. Fortunately, an opportunity to find out all this soon appeared in front of them.
