The Amber Sword

The Nagas in the flashing seas are quite famous. They often attack past merchant ships on the route from Ampelsel to Greywind Harbor and Rubik. However, the Naga fishmen in the deep sea are not united. They are divided into dozens of large and small ethnic groups. The most famous of them are Kou Taoyumen and Semper Naga. Kou Taoyumen are not only in the shining ocean. They are the most notorious robbers above the ocean, and they are more similar to the kingdom than the Sempornagar, which has its own culture, language and tradition.

Most of the nations in the deep sea are plundering for a living. Naga is still no exception. Dozens of ethnic groups are attacking each other, but they are puppets between robbers. I have never heard of one day because they are incapable of dealing with each other. Merchant ships on this route have not suffered.

As for the pirates, the sailors were not as awesome as the siren in the myth, Brando reminded everyone that everyone had reacted. "But it's really weird. Mermaids rarely come out with Naga to plunder merchant ships." Rao, Captain James still questioned suspiciously, pulled out the pipe, patted it and put it in a coat. In his purse, he took out the sword with his right hand, and turned back to order the sailors to stand up the shield on the side of the ship.

"Be careful with the javelin!" He added.

In the Sword of Amber, the mermaid group is attached to Naga, often participating in wars between them, using magical singing voices to win wars for their allies. To put it plainly, it is like a bard on the battlefield, but the battlefield here will be moved from land to the deep ocean. However, mermaids are typical good creatures. They usually refuse to ship with Nagar to rob humans or dwarves of merchant ships (1), but it is not surprising that one or two alien species appear in a large group.

At this time, the creatures in the sea surfaced. These creatures looked similar to humans, except that the skin was blue and blue. The shoulders, arms, and spine were covered with erect scale fins, from the neck to the neck. Xiong gave birth to cheeks before. They also have nasal cavities. They can use the lungs to breathe, and can also use the gills to filter the air. However, for Nagar, the air on the land is too dry. They are very unaccustomed to living off the water.

Naga had no hair, and a bunch of beautiful azure nerve bundles replaced the position of the hair. At first glance, it was weird, but I got used to it and felt very beautiful. Most of the naga that appeared on the surface were male xing, male xing naga had two pairs of arms, no obvious feeding organs, facial edges and corners, with special non-water immersion dye on the face covered with war lines, muscle knots , Looks like a fierce human male xing.

But Brando knew it was because their lower bodies were hidden under water. According to legend, Naga was the descendant of the sky snake, and was a half-human and half-snake monster. Naga's male xing has one less pair of arms than female xing, because in the mythology the **** of Naga wants female xing to be more dexterous than male xing, and male xing only needs to be on the battlefield, so they need to be more vigorous and powerful.

However, these are myths and legends. In reality, both Naga and Murloc are good at throwing spears. The male Xing Naga has two pairs of arms. One arm holds the trident they are good at, and the other pair uses a short sword and a shield. . Under the sea is rich in mineral resources. Iron and copper are not commonly used as weapons and armor metal. Nagas know how to use volcanoes under the sea to melt and forge weapons. There are also special methods to protect their weapons underwater. The combat equipment is not inferior to humans on land. However, the biggest difference between the Naga's weapons and armor and humans is the shuttle-shaped shield, which is a special product of the Naga, in order to reduce the resistance under water.

Seeing that the mermaid's youhuo's singing voice didn't work, as soon as the Naga surfaced, they used the most common tactics, like throwing a spear on the distant deck like the rain. Unfortunately, Captain James is experienced and has already ordered people to erect Start-up Wrigley-The ship's Wrigley is actually a double-layered tower shield commonly used on the Warnde battlefield. Usually it is hung upside down on the outboard of the ship. When it is needed, it is straightened up with a rope. It was raining on a thick shield like a raindrop. Unfortunately, the shields on the ship are specially used to deal with these common robbers at sea. The distant ship is a large ship and the preparation is more comprehensive. The spears of the Nagars are either Embed in a shield, or slide weakly into the water.

After a while, Saint Sword, Mephistian, Shire, Andrea, Akane, Medfis, Ropar, and the Silver Elf Princess also came to the deck and saw these people, James was finally relaxed. Breath. Although he doesn't know the full strength of the young lord around him, he also knows that at least Metissa and Shire have the golden rank strength, and there are two masters with golden rank strength, even if it is Eruin. So is the flagship in the fleet.

"What's the matter?" As soon as Mephiste stepped out of the cabin, he saw the monsters on the sea and asked calmly. Captain James didn't know that the middle-aged man who seemed to be ordinary was brought by Brando during this trip. The biggest b, but just this calm effort is enough to make him look twice more.

The calmness of the Grey Sword Saint is not without reason. After all, this is the beginning of the year of the sword. Unlike the robber encounter on the road after the Slate War, it may be the element of civilization. At this time, don't say that in Eruin, even when the principality of Mephiste was under Cruz, he was also a top-ranked player in the empire. A master of the series like him, with only a little care, it is almost impossible for the entire Warnde to find them as dead as possible.

And a few heads of Naga, let alone.

"It's Naga," Brando replied, pressing his long sword with his hand and not immediately shooting. He looked at the Naga warriors on the sea and felt a little familiar—Although the Naga people looked similar to humans, there were still differences between the different tribes, such as the flash scales because of the colorful scales. Get the name. The tribe that Brando saw now was a bit like gray-finned naga. When he saw the other person's slightly white scale fins, he couldn't help but faint a little, thinking it wasn't so clever?

"This is Naga?" Grey Swordmaster heard of a monster like Naga. But he was born in the interior of the empire. He has been fighting the empire all his life. He has never sailed out of the sea. He has only heard and heard about monsters like Naga. He looked at these monsters and couldn't help but stunned for a moment, then turned back and said, "How can you run into trouble everywhere you go?"

"I ..." Brando never dreamed that this serious guy would utter a serious word, but only he would have such a leisurely feeling at this time. It just didn't occur that Otales couldn't help but nodded in agreement. "I think this guy is right. You can get in trouble everywhere you go."

"Martha is on, am I innocent, okay!" Brando was silent in his heart. When he used to be in the Amber Sword, he sought a story mission but couldn't help but walk through this world. Inexplicable things came to him one by one.

But Otales is just joking, it is very common to meet pirates at sea. Not only pirates, but also robbers and robbers on land. The lords ’management of their territories is mostly limited to the core. The more remote the area where economic exchanges flourish, the more remote the law and order will be. Areas that no one can control are paradise for illegal forces.

At this time, the sailors began to fight back. Most of the ships sailing on this route were armed merchant ships, and there would be no weapons on board. The sailors returned with a crossbow, but their counterattack was really not accurate. Instead of destroying each other, they could just drive them away. On the contrary, the sailors under James suffered a lot. Several spears shot into the crowd through the gap between the shields, hurting several people, and two unlucky eggs were nailed to the deck. The second officer of the part-time doctor on the boat said at a glance that he couldn't live.

However, Brando took out a few bottles of holy water from the dimension hole, and let Metysa pass. The level of holy water in the dimension hole he got from Amman is amazing, not to mention that the low-level holy water is not very useful to him. It is just used to buy personal relationships. Brando knows that he fights with these merchants of Ampelsel. Good communication is very beneficial to his future development, not to mention James himself has a deep background.

Holy water is the most efficacious medicine in the world. Its greatest function is to stop bleeding and repair physical damage. Trauma in war is basically these two types. As long as there is no excessive blood loss and death, holy water can play a role of life and death. However, this thing is really uncommon, and the temple could only supply the most elite troops during the jihad.

As soon as the two dead sailors drank holy water, the horrible wounds healed at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. At that moment, do n’t say it ’s the second officer in charge of healing. Even James was stunned. Although the sailors under his command are not that important, whoever lives and runs on the sea all year round does n’t stick his head on the ku belt. But being able to drag the dead back alive from the hand of death is not a miracle.

Captain James was a nobleman and was very knowledgeable. He immediately realized what the potion Brando had given him. What surprised him was not Brando's ability, but Brando's generosity. The holy water was used freely on a sailor who knew nothing. If it was not too kind, it would be broad.

Seeing this, James hesitated for the first time to consider as a nobleman and a merchant, whether to deepen his contacts with the emerging power of Fir collar. He glanced at Brando, thinking that, perhaps, as the rumor said, the other party was from a large family with a profound heritage, but why did the other party appear in Toniger and Count Jeandner?

He first associated the civil war in the north with the keen peculiar aristocracy. Or the princess's knight? Could it be said that the highland knights of Karasu began to support the princess? The thoughts of the young captain flashed like lightning in a flash.

Compared to the captain's complicated mind, the two sailors rescued from the death are only grateful Dade. These sailors are actually just poor people. If not, who would be a seaman? Sailing in this era was a matter of great risk, and the death rate of sailors was quite high. According to Brando's understanding, it was slightly better than another great sailing era in the 15th and 16th centuries in history. He Saving these two sailors was basically equivalent to saving the lives of the other's family, but even so, Brando still did not accept the two sailors to kiss his boots to express thanks.

As a modern man, this is really awkward for him.

However, this fell into the eyes of other people, but it only set off the vast xiong of the young lord. Brando did not know that his subconscious behavior had won a high reputation among the sailors, because at this time the future White Lion Army Sergeants have taken out a number of heavy crossbows from under the cabin. These crossbows are not ordinary four-arm crossbow. After all, for the soldiers with black iron rank strength, the four-arm crossbow can no longer meet the requirements. Brando ordered Bai Master Lu specially created a batch of cross bows with enchantment for the non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Legion. These weapons are astonishingly expensive, and each one is almost equal to equal weight of gold. Fortunately, Brando only needs fifty It's just Zhang.

Brando intends to use magic bows instead of magic bows for future White Lion infantry. Magic bows need miniaturized magic guides. This is an area that Antitina is good at. Although the technology is complex, the price is cheaper. Several times more than that. Of course, that was still a distant dream. Before that, the White Lion infantry could only use ordinary whiteboard bows. Brando had not enough money to prepare a magic bow for each soldier. Besides, he thought he was really If you do that, little Roman will make him big.

As soon as the White Lions' officers joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed. In this world, and even in the entire Eruin, I am afraid that no lord has invested so much money in training soldiers like Brando. Brando ’s knowledge comes from modern times, understand that the army is raised, in In his training programs, he strictly required the proportion of daily training of soldiers and non-commissioned officers. In this regard, Buru and Antitti complained more than once that the territory spent an unbelievable amount of money on this- Adding arrows, repairing weapons and broken armor, this cost is dozens or more times than other Eruin lords.

In this regard, the court master once expressed angrily that if the money was saved to buy an army for the princess, at least he could recruit an army of the same size as Brando's men. But Brando went his own way, and this insistence finally achieved results today.

The White Lion Legionnaires are like veterans who have entered the battlefield countless times. Even the only flaw that has not seen blood has been made up during the wolf tide. The ingenuity they show at this moment is even the most elite of Eruin The Cavaliers should also be ashamed when they meet. Although they may be more sophisticated in battlefield experience, they are far worse than well-trained and cooperative.

The arrows of the White Lion Legionnaires are almost as accurate as eyes. This is accumulated through countless shooting trainings. Everyone is estimated to have tens of thousands of dollars by converting bad arrows into gold coins. Seoul. But these gold coins have now been recovered from Naga. Captain James can hardly believe his eyes. The White Lion Legionnaires' officers are shooting at a single shot, and more than a dozen Naga soldiers are shot dead. Sinking from the sea.

The same goes for the marksman in the navy.

The opposite Naga also felt great pressure. They never dreamed that a merchant ship would have such firepower. This clearly shows that it is a warship, and even the kingdom's third-tier battleship does not have this firepower density. The only difference is that there were no artillery or crossbow guns on this merchant ship, otherwise they really thought they were hitting a real warship of the kingdom.

There was a hand on both sides for a while. Only one non-commissioned officer in the White Lion Corps injured his hand by breaking the crossbow while twisting the string, and became the only wounded on Brando's side in this battle. More than a dozen bodies. The Naga soldiers at sea had changed from shock to fear in the beginning. They screamed and turned back.

"Is this retreating?"

The captain and Brando were stunned. In their impression, the Nagas were extremely brave and warlike. Even if they were frustrated for a short period of time, they would continue to fight fearlessly. . Is this still Naga? Wouldn't this be a fisherman disguise? Brando and James were at each other for a moment.
