"Ha!" Ray let out a light shout and brandished his sword, cutting three or four murlocs around him together with their crude weapons into two. His feet didn't stop, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into another group of murlocs. With a flash of sword light, the murlocs' light blue blood instantly flowed all over the ground, and the murlocs who were howling and aggressive just now immediately died on the ground.
There were several soldiers who were being besieged and were in imminent danger. Thanks to his help, they finally escaped. They wanted to thank this knight, but found that Ray had already left without any hesitation.
Looking in the direction where this knight, whose leather armor had been dyed blue with blood, came from, they saw countless dead murlocs lying on the ground in disorder. If someone looked down from the sky, he would see that there seemed to be one more line of blood in the army of murlocs, which separated the following troops from those who were fighting with the coastal defense army.
Ray ran fast on the battlefield, waving his sword like a gust of wind. Wherever he passed, there was a bloody storm. After a long time, Ray suddenly saw an open space in front of him. He had already killed his way through the entire battlefield.
Only then did he have time to catch his breath. When he turned around, he saw that the ferocious and violent mermen had already been intimidated by his divine might. Their ugly faces revealed a fearful expression.
When Ray rushed into the battlefield again with his long sword, the murlocs finally could not hold back their fear anymore, screaming and running away.
What was left was … a battlefield full of corpses.
"Well done!" The old officer, who was also covered in blood, wiped his beard, but his hands were full of blood. He wiped the blood on his clothes in disgust and gave a thumbs up to Xiang Lei, "You are indeed a hero who can catch the three-headed snake alive by yourself!"
Ray smiled, shook off the blood on his sword, wiped it, and put it back into the scabbard.
"This is just an appetizer, and the main course is yet to come!"
The old officer nodded and sighed slightly while looking at the murloc army in the distance.
"How come there are so many of these bloody murlocs!"
The soldiers and adventurers at the side all agreed with him. Looking at the countless dead murlocs on the ground, this would be considered a victorious massacre in other battlefields. However, in the battle against the invasion of the Sea Race, this could only be considered as the first wave of murlocs being repelled.
Even the bravest and most confident person would not feel optimistic when they saw the endless merfolk army in the distance.
The Murloc troops were always in chaos, because the ordinary Murlocs who occupied the majority of the troops did not know what order was. Chaos was their nature. Only the elite troops who were strong enough to resist their instincts could maintain a certain level of order. It was about the level of human children who played and pretended to be soldiers.
In terms of individual strength, the Fishmen were not strong. Even a "powerhouse" at the level of the Murloc Chief was only at the level of a fledgling adventurer. For experienced adventurers, it was not even worth mentioning.
However, the huge number of the Murlocs completely made up for the lack of individual strength. An adult female Murloc could lay eggs once a year, and each time, she could lay about a thousand fish eggs. If there was a priest who presided over the incubation ceremony, about 60% of the fish eggs would be hatched after 30 days. If there was enough food, half of these young Murlocs who looked like deformed fish could survive, and they would finish their metamorphosis after three months. After one year, they would be fully mature, and after three years, they could reproduce. In other words, if the conditions were good, a female Murloc would only need one year to produce three hundred offsprings. What was more terrifying was that after three years, out of the first three hundred offsprings, 150 of them might start to lay eggs …
This reproduction ability was so strong that it was absolutely the best among all the intelligent creatures. Moreover, it was so much better than the second place. It was like the gap between a landmark building and a low shack!
There was a well-known view that the main reason why the Sea Race often invaded the land was to reduce the surplus population and avoid wasting too much resources.
"Population" was an extremely precious resource for most intelligent creatures, but for the Murlocs, it was more of a burden.
Relying on their terrifying numbers, the favorite tactic of the Murlocs was to swarm like a swarm of bees. They never cared about losses, because their numbers were enough to ignore losses. There was once a legendary wizard who calculated the situation of the Sea Race's invasion. At that time, he was sure that there were more than three million Murlocs. Then he was forced to retreat by the strong Sea Race, and couldn't complete the whole calculation.
With such a large number, it was no longer a problem whether the individual strength was insufficient or the military discipline was lax. Especially when the Sea Race invaded, with the help of the strong Sea Race's magic, the Murlocs would fall into a state of fanaticism from time to time, and would fight to the death before the magic lost its effect.
Facing the enemies who were several times, tens, hundreds, or even thousands of times more than themselves, who dared to pat their chest and say "not afraid"?
Anyway, Ray didn't dare to.
Even though he was much more powerful than any Murlocs, and theoretically, with a sword in his hand, he could come and go freely even if there were thousands of soldiers and horses. But facing at least a million Murlocs army, even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't kill them all!
Just like just now, he had killed at least hundreds of Murlocs, but so what? If he wanted to defeat the Murlocs army, he needed to repeat the battle just now tens of thousands of times!
After all, he was also a mortal. After fighting for a long time, he would be tired, hungry if he didn't have food to eat, and hurt if he got hurt … The simple weapons of the Murlocs could also launch fatal attacks. Once he was surrounded by the Murlocs because of exhaustion, not to mention him, even the Legendary Masters were likely to be exhausted to death by the endless enemies.
What was even more dangerous than these murlocs were the powerful sea monsters. Although most of them couldn't leave the water for a long time, their huge strength was like a boulder rolling on the ground. If you were careless and got entangled by a sea monster, you would soon be surrounded by the murlocs. Then, the sea monsters would cooperate with the murlocs … Basically, if you encountered such a situation, you could consider your last words.
However, the most dangerous thing was not these, but the strong Sea Race Masters who were disguised as Murlocs, hiding among the countless Murlocs.
They didn't have the reservation of a strong Master at all, and always changed themselves to be no different from ordinary Murlocs. But when the strong people on the land were fighting fiercely, they would suddenly attack from the back and launch a fatal attack.
Since ancient times, there were many strong people on the land who died in the invasion of the Sea Race, and even many super masters of the Legendary Realm had died. Most of them died in this way, and many of them didn't even come to their senses until they died.
What Ray was most worried about were those enemies.
He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the Murlocs army that were climbing up the dock in a continuous stream. They were disorderly reorganizing their troops, trying to barely form a formation, and trying to find the hidden strong people among them.
In the battle just now, he didn't encounter such a strong enemy. Maybe they didn't have time to arrive, or maybe the wave of troops just now was purely used as cannon fodder. But there was no doubt that when the Sea Race invaded, there must be strong people of different races among the Murlocs — this was the lesson that countless people exchanged with blood, and it was absolutely not wrong!
But his efforts were doomed to be in vain. There were too many Murlocs, and the order was too chaotic. It was simply impossible to find some strong people who deliberately hid their strength in such a chaotic situation!
"Fire! Fire! "
When the Murlocs army once again got close to a certain degree, the magic cannons arranged inside the dock made deafening roars one by one. The low-level mages who operated the magic cannons were risking the explosion of the cannons to increase the firing speed as much as possible. They had been trained for a long time, and every shot could accurately hit the place where the Murlocs were relatively dense, without missing a shot.
The cannonball fired by these magic cannons was a magic crystal wrapped in a metal shell. It was not stable, and it depended on the magic formation inside the metal shell to suppress the tendency of the explosion. Once it was fired, the magic formation on the metal shell would disintegrate in a short time, and then the magic crystal would explode and turn into a dazzling flame, whose power was comparable to the famous middle-level magic "Fireball Magic".
The magic cannons used in Gars City were relatively classic models, slightly less powerful, but very fast. In the hands of the low-level mages who had been trained for a long time, more than a dozen magic cannons roared one after another, like a group of giant dragons roaring, and exploded in the dense Murlocs army, leaving a bloody gap.
"Bastard! Go to hell! " Sui Xiong was roaring at the moment. He exerted his ice power to the fullest, and a large area of space had been almost frozen. Although the Shadow Devil could temporarily escape by breaking through the space, the space it could move was getting smaller and smaller.
If it went on like this, it would completely lose the space to escape and dodge in a short time, and could only fight with Sui Xiong to the death.
For such a battle, Sui Xiong had absolute confidence!
But in his heart, he could not help but feel a little worried. The Shadow Devil came here in a strange way, and it was obviously in a very dangerous time, but it still refused to retreat. Why on earth?
Could it be that … there was someone behind the command, so that it did not dare to retreat?
To be able to force this monster that had ravaged the human world for hundreds of years to risk its life, or to make it have the confidence to risk its life, that guy's strength must be much stronger than it. Could it be a god?
Which god on earth was launching an attack on his own church?
On the other side, the battle between Heimsarah and Timsar had also reached the climax. The two indescribably huge giant creatures had been entangled together, and the raging tide and the cold undercurrent collided without any fancy moves, setting off violent turbulence at the bottom of the sea. And Sui Xiong's doppelganger was waving its tentacles on the side, constantly blasting the ice power into the parts of Timsar's body where the divine power could be sensed, trying to speed up the speed of this evil monster's death.
Now he needed to fight for time and solve the battle here as soon as possible, so that his doppelganger could be freed earlier. Whether it was to rescue Ray or to join the battle with his real body, it could be of great help.
But at this time, Ray encountered an unexpected situation.
Rank, who was supposed to leave with Liv, actually came back!
