Struggle in the Steam Age

The unexpected opportunity appeared when Nora hid in the grass and waited for about half an hour. At this time, the little puppet was actually getting a little impatient. If Lawrence hadn't been comforting her, she might have rushed straight into it. That house took out all the leading sahuagin, and then sliced ​​the other murlocs into sashimi.

"Ha, those guys came out, they should be the guys who sold goods to the sahuagin here just now." Just when Lawrence and Nora were so bored to pass the time by chatting, there was finally a difference in the house. movement. Then a dozen murlocs came out, escorted by a sahuagin wearing a golden pearl crown and full body armor.

"That guy should be the leader of the murlocs who attacked this time, Prince Bloodfin." Because Lawrence had read the information before setting off, he immediately locked onto the important people present from Nora's sight. "Beside him should be the high priest of the sahuagin offshore area, as well as several nobles and generals."

"That is to say, if we kill these guys, it is equivalent to knocking out the leader of the sahuagin this time?" Hearing what Lawrence said, Nora immediately showed an expression eager to try. However, after carefully looking at the situation on the other side, she still gave up her inner thoughts.

Although Nora was occasionally a little reckless, she was definitely not that kind of brainless idiot. There are two silvers and several bronzes in the pile of guys in front of them, and they may also have some powerful magic props or even artifacts. In this case, even if Nora thinks that her average combat power is stronger than gold, she doesn't think she can completely wipe out the core members of this group of sahuagin in the first time. At the core, she can only run away.

"It's normal. You are just a high-level transcendent now, not a god. Not to mention that even gods, no one dares to guarantee that they are invincible. So it's normal that you can't defeat those enemies now." Lawrence said comfortingly. "However, for us, the plan has not failed. You can see that among the sahuagin who left, there is only one Bronze-level extraordinary person and one Black-iron-level extraordinary person. It is absolutely no problem for us to rob and kill them."

"You're right, it's true." After being told by Lawrence, Nora immediately recovered her excitement, and then left the grass where she was hiding before and quickly followed the group of a dozen sahuagin who were leaving. During this process, none of the sahuagin who were returning to their room found any trace of the doll.

"There's something wrong with these murlocs." Lawrence saw some clues after Nora swam out of the sahuagin camp with the group of sahuagin from a distance. "Their swimming posture feels a little strange and looks a little awkward. It seems that they have been injured before, and some parts of their limbs swing abnormally."

"No, it's not that they can't use their strength." After Nora focused on the murloc with the highest extraordinary level and zoomed in, Lawrence saw more things wrong. "This swimming posture should be a human swimming posture, not a sahuagin's. The identity of these sahuagins is questionable."

Different creatures naturally have different swimming styles. For example, human swimming is naturally based on legs and feet, and assists arms in paddling. And because the sahuagin have a long tail, they will naturally swing their tails when swimming to help them swim at high speed in the water. But now, in the group of murlocs that Lawrence and the others were following, all of them dragged their tails straight behind and swam in the water with their own hands and feet, which looked like humans swimming there.

"Maybe they might not be real sahuagin." After listening to Lawrence's analysis, Nora also realized why she felt that the group of sahuagin in front of her was not right. "You must know that there are many magics in this world that can be used to change your appearance, so these guys are likely to be transformed by humans."

With this in mind, Lawrence and the others looked more seriously at the group of sahuagin in front. Soon they found more irregularities. For example, when several sahuagin were swimming, they exposed part of the blades of the weapons at their waists, and all of those blades were shining with metal.

You must know that metal can be regarded as an absolutely precious wealth among the sahuagin. It is obviously not normal for an ordinary sahuagin to hold a metal dagger like this. Not to mention that those daggers did not have modified handles like the sahuagin limbs that Lawrence and the others had found before, making them easier to hold with the webbed hands of the sahuagin, and they were all of the kind that fit A grip used by humans on land.

"Damn it, there are traitors among humans at this time!" Lawrence clasped his palms together and cursed after realizing what this situation meant. "Although I don't know what those guys sold to the sahuagin, but making the sahuagin spend such a large amount of money at this time can definitely change the situation on the battlefield."

"There is no way, money is touching!" Nora said old-fashionedly, "Think about it, 15,000 standard pearls are enough to make many people sell everything they have. Not to mention that people who can pay this price are definitely not good Ordinary people. I believe there must be a huge conspiracy behind this."

While Lawrence and Nora were discussing the situation in front of them, the group of sahuayu in front passed through a large group of underwater reefs and began to float up. Seeing this, Nora also floated to the surface. When he emerged from the water, he was surprised to find a two-masted sailboat that looked like more than 300 tons floating on the sea not far away.

This boat is a standard military sailboat, but it seems a little behind the times in this era. However, many of the surrounding islands still use this ancient ship because of cost issues. But it is obvious that such a ship whose hull and sails are all painted black is absolutely impossible to be a real warship.

"It feels like the secret smuggling ship we encountered last time." Nora floated into the sky from the sea and said after observing, "Although the ship looks like an old-fashioned warship that was decommissioned and converted to civilian use, the deck There are only four common small cannons, but from the draft I can be sure that there is definitely enough firepower hidden in the cabin below the ship."

During this period of time, the few sahuagin swam to the side of the boat and climbed up the side of the boat with the rope ladder. And as they climb, their skin slowly fades and their tails begin to retract. The whole began to look like a murloc from a sahuagin. As Lawrence and the others guessed before, these guys are not real sahuagin at all.

"Just two bronze superhumans and two black irons, I promise to complete the task in five minutes." After finishing speaking, Nora swooped down to the deck of the ship. At the same time, she directly tore open a small bag that was about the size of her own body with both hands, and in an instant a ball of red powder covered the entire deck of the ship.

"What——a sneeze!" The little puppet not only appeared from the air as it swooped down, but also yelled in the process. As a result, most of the people on the deck raised their heads subconsciously, and then they were sprayed all over their faces by the red powder.

These crushed chili powder immediately made most of the people on the deck lose their combat effectiveness, and then they were easily cut by Nora with the silk thread thrown out. The few extraordinary people also panicked because of this sudden attack, and were successfully subdued by Nora.

Then Nora directly released Lawrence from the astral plane and asked him to help guard the prisoners, and then rushed directly down the stairs into the lower deck. Five or six minutes later, she flew up from below the deck with a relaxed face and told Lawrence that everything was settled and the ship was completely under control.
