Broad World - Chapter 850
Chapter 847 Threat
Since Henry became an arcanist, he has been hiding in the mage tower to conduct various spell experiments. Especially those newly mastered ninth-level magic requires a lot of contact to increase the casting speed. After all, this is the second life of the mage, and it is not a good thing to rely too much on those “spell matrix”, “spell sequence” and other smooth hair magic.
When Henry was obsessed with exploring the profound knowledge of magic, a piece of information from Robert pulled him back to reality. Recently, the number of Shahua murlocs along the coast of Jianwan area has started to increase sharply. Although the attack has not yet been launched, several important maritime trade routes have been threatened.
Seeing this message, he hurriedly stopped the research in his hands, immediately sent someone to notify Corey and asked Hawke to prepare accordingly. Although the Sahua murlocs are unlikely to invade the land, they are very fond of plundering ports. It is said that these guys are violent and bloodthirsty, and everything they pass will be in ruins.
More than an hour later, Hawke and Corey arrived at the Mage Tower at the same time. For people living by the sea, there is nothing worse than this. If a Shahua murloc attacks the port, the only thing that can be done is to evacuate all people and materials near the port.
“Your Excellency, is this information accurate? I have lived on the West Coast for so many years, and I have never heard of the attack on the port by the Sahua murloc.” Hawke hurriedly asked as soon as he entered the door.
Seeing the old man’s eagerness, Henry nodded with a wry smile. “I also hope it is false, but this is a warning from Robert himself. He has been in charge of the intelligence agency for so many years and has never made a mistake.”
“Damn! What are these robbers in the sea planning to do? They don’t really want to invade the land?” Hawk cursed fiercely and continued to ask.
Henry thought about the information in the book and shook his head. Sahua murlocs cannot stay out of the water for too long, otherwise their skin will begin to dry out, become dehydrated and eventually lead to death. They are not suitable for living on land at all, so large-scale invasions inland can basically be ruled out.
Corey stepped forward two steps and bowed solemnly and said: “Your Excellency. I advise you to plan early. Whether it is to evacuate coastal residents or organize an army to resist, it will take a long time. According to intelligence. In the estimated number, they can attack almost any port along the coast. And many ships also need to be dragged ashore to hide, otherwise they will all be scuttled.”
“That’s right. I now give you the right to mobilize all the troops of the entire Baldur’s Gate, and establish a line of defense on the coast for about one kilometer as soon as possible. In addition. I will also transfer 30 mages and 20 druids. It’s up to you to command, remember, you must protect the safety of these casters, each of them is hard-won.” Henry promptly issued the order.
Hearing that there would be a caster, Corey happily gave a military salute immediately. “Don’t worry, sir. As long as I’m still there. These robbers in the sea will never break through the line of defense. In addition, can your airship be mobilized? We can throw explosive gas tanks from the sky, With fierce fire oil and javelin, the murlocs were unable to counterattack because they were at high altitude.”
“Of course, you can mobilize it to fight at any time.” Henry readily agreed to this request. That airship was originally used in the military, and it happened to be able to use these murlocs to try out its power. You must know that he has spent a lot of money on this, and the materials and enchantments alone cost more than 200,000 gold coins. The outer shell of the airship airbag is very strong. Ordinary bows and arrows and javelins can’t be shot at all.
After Corey got what he wanted, he left the mage tower. He still has a lot to do, and there is no time to waste here. Seeing that the knight had left, Henry told Hawke: “You start to organize the evacuation of the residents along the coast now. In particular, all the port areas of the coastal cities will be evacuated for me. Do not leave a board for these robbers. Also. Yes, all maritime trade will be suspended from today, and all materials will be transported by airships.”
“Even the Angkor Islands must be prepared for war?” Hawke asked somewhat puzzledly. In his opinion, the Sahua murlocs are merely gathering in Jianwan, and should not threaten the city of Bluevent in the tropics.
Considered for a while. Henry nodded. “Yes, inform all coastal cities to be prepared. However, the two cities on the island do not need to be evacuated for the time being, as long as they do security work.”
After getting a clear answer, Hawke also hurriedly left. His task is heavier than Corey, after all, most of Baldur’s Gate warehouses are still alive in the port area. Moreover, the Shuihou Temple is also a huge hidden danger. God knows if Amboli (the goddess of the sea), the chaotic and evil goddess, will follow along with her.
Henry sighed inwardly. Originally wanted to leave for Amn earlier, but now it seems to be a complete failure. While sending people to inform the Lords Council of Deepwater City to prepare, he personally went to the lighthouse near the sword coast to check the terrain. After all, around the city, this is the only place suitable for large-scale login.
Looking at the long coastline, Henry frowned. There is no dangerous place to defend around here. The only thing that can be used is the abandoned lighthouse. Along the beach, he walked a little further north, and suddenly found some blue-skinned humanoids running around on the beach. Judging from their bumpy figures, they should all be women.
Henry was very curious about these creatures, and quickly cast a “stealth technique” to quietly follow behind. When I saw the woman’s face clearly, I was taken aback. It turns out that these beauties with dark blue skin are all sea monsters. They are an evil sea creature that likes to seduce humans or elves to mate and kill the father of the child after pregnancy.
He followed the siren to a very hidden cave. The entrance is completely covered by seaweeds and other things. If you don’t observe it carefully, you can think of it as an ordinary rock. After the Siren walked into the cave, she communicated with her sisters with strange singing for a while, and then began to eat. Their food is very simple, just ordinary fish, shellfish and seaweed.
Henry waited patiently for more than an hour. It wasn’t until all the sea monsters gathered together that they secretly released the “Yabidaqi Withering Technique” in a corner, and the brown-white mist instantly filled the cave. The female siren found that the water in her body was rapidly decreasing. They screamed and wanted to escape, but the entrance of the cave had been sealed by magic and could not rush out at all.
In just ten seconds, most of the female siren was slaughtered. With regard to these monsters who kill humans for pleasure, Henry has always implemented the policy of killing if you can. He carefully explored the entire cave and found not only a large number of human bones, but also a huge iron box hidden in a crack in the stone.
Using “percussion” to open the lock above, Henry found a “Handbook of Physical Health”, a magic cloak, and finally more than 20,000 gold coins and some miscellaneous things. He suddenly remembered, isn’t this the treasure in the game. Both the location and the magic items inside are exactly the same. He unceremoniously used the “Physical Health Handbook” to add a bit of physique, and then used magic to identify the cloak.
Cloak of the Wolf: “Rilaire’s Mistake”
The process of creating this cloak can be said to be full of irony. Riley is a mage who overestimates his abilities. In the process of making this piece of clothing, he turned himself into a werewolf. The wearer of this item can change his body arbitrarily. But Riley was not so lucky.
special power:
Become a wolf at will
Looking at this magic cloak, Henry had a dumbfounding feeling. This thing has no use at all except to help those fledgling rookies escape. The fighting power of a wolf is very limited, and many veterans can easily kill one. After sweeping away the treasure, he returned directly to Baldur’s Gate and told Corey his plan to build a fortification at the lighthouse.
The next day, an army of 400 people set off from the city and rushed to the lighthouse to start building the earth wall. They must complete all construction within a week. According to the latest intelligence from Robert, the army of Sahua murlocs has begun to march towards the coastline. These robbers destroyed all the ships along the way and slaughtered the crew above.
Seeing that things had deteriorated to such an extent, Henry didn’t care if panic occurred, and immediately issued an evacuation warning to the whole city. At the speed of Sahua Murloc, it will take up to eight days to reach Baldur’s Gate. The civilians were in an uproar when they heard the news. They quickly packed up their valuables and went around to rush to relatives and friends to wait until this period of time passed. Even the Archmage Habassah immediately closed the mage tower and took a few apprentices to take refuge in the interior. Before leaving, give Henry some magic potions and scrolls.
It was a bit too late when Anta Silver Shield got the news. He hurried over to meet with Henry, saying that he had no extra power to guard the Baldur’s Gate, and completely surrendered the control of the other half of the city.
If it were in normal times, Henry would be very happy to accept but now the entire Jianwan is facing threats from the ocean, and his forces at hand are also very nervous. It is said that the dock area of Deepwater City has been breached by the Shahua murlocs, and all the houses and buildings have been destroyed. According to information from the Brown Bear Chamber of Commerce, the death toll was as high as 30,000.
Even legendary mages and voters like Kelben and Laila failed to block the attack of the Sahua Murloc, and Henry did not dare to expect that he would succeed. His goal is simple: try to ensure that there is no loss of population and goods. The army only needs to support it for a period of time to ensure the safe evacuation of everyone.
As the murlocs get closer, the nerves of the people staying here are highly nervous. Except for the army, there are no other people in the city now. Even ordinary people who don’t want to leave are forced to be sent inland. Henry has planted a large amount of fire oil and explosives near the Baldur’s Gate, intending to use this as a bait to attract all the Sahua murlocs. The biggest The effective force of killing and wounding the enemy to the limit.
