Chapter 268: Closing the Net

After the Sawa Fishman blessed the divine arts, he attacked the gate of the castle under the leadership of Buck Endis. A dozen large skeletons ran at the front under the control of the priest. Ordinary arrows and ballistas were no damage to these bones, and in the blink of an eye they came to the city gates, brandishing their magic two-handed swords in an attempt to cut through the iron gates.

Henry knew that he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise once the gate was breached, none of the ordinary soldiers inside would want to leave alive. He fired a third ball of light into the sky, and the airship, which had been waiting in mid-air, immediately launched a bombardment. A large number of gas tanks, oil oil, alchemy explosives, and javelins tilted down like money, and all of a sudden stunned Shahua fishman.

Due to the large amount of fire oil buried in the city in advance, the explosion ignited it all. Countless wooden houses became the best fuel, and the fire spread to the whole city within a dozen minutes. The sudden increase in temperature made these sea creatures very uncomfortable, and they began to lose a lot of water in their bodies, and some of them were in slightly worse shape and fell to the ground due to dehydration.

At the same time, Corey and Shantil each led the Barbarian Guard and the Golem Legion from the Duke's Mansion through the city center to outflank the enemy's rear. The Sawa Fishman stormed the walls for a few minutes in the flames, and then began to retreat quickly. Buckendis yelled at the castle a few times with a reluctant expression, and finally turned and retreated towards the port area.

Hidden in all corners, the Assassins, led by their bosses, launched sneak attacks on the panicked enemy. Many low-level priests didn't pay attention, and they were pierced in the heart by daggers emerging from the shadows. Robert had already quietly killed the two high-ranking priests, and the triangular thorn instantly pierced the back of the victim's head. The toxins attached to the weapons didn't even make them make a sound.

Under a double blow both in the air and on the ground. The number of Sawa fish people is rapidly decreasing. After Henry gave the human soldiers the order to withdraw from the city. He also personally joined the hunt with the temporarily recruited professionals. This group of adventurous veterans worked together so well that killing a lone fishman was as easy for them as eating and drinking.

On the way from the castle to the docks, the enemy left behind more than 2,500 corpses, many of them priests. Henry kept bombarding with a fireball staff, killing countless unlucky people by him. Although the number of Sawa fish-people is still large, these dehydrated sea creatures are no longer much combative. He used the entire city as a trap to lure the enemy deep into the land in order to drain the enemy's body from the heat. As soon as these guys start to dehydrate, it means that the fight is over.

When Buckendis fled to the docks with the remnants of the Sawa Fishmen. Hoplite barbarian warriors and tall golems lined up were spotted here. Supreme Commander Corey drew his sword and shouted: "Monster! Are you ready to pay for your actions? ”

"Damn humans, they want to kill us all! Aren't you afraid of even greater retribution? You must know that now the entire Sword Bay is my people, and they can easily destroy people and a coastal city. Buck Endis threatened loudly and angrily. After spending more than half an hour in the heat, he and his men didn't have much body left to fight.

Henry, who came from the rear, sneered and mocked: "Ha! Afraid? Just because you garbage that will die after a dozen hours out of the water will scare me? ”

Buck Endis was instantly enraged when he heard the word "garbage". "Ahhh Damn human, how dare you say that the great Sawa Fishman is trash! I will tell all of my kind. Wait, all ships belonging to the city will be attacked by us, and none of them will come back alive. ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it's hard to implement your idea. Because I didn't even plan to let you out alive today. "Said Henry made an offensive gesture.

After receiving the order, Shantil did not hesitate to unleash the "Comet" at the most dense place of the enemy, followed by nearly a hundred golems and Terminators to launch a charge. All at once, the Shahua fish-people were scattered. Corey led the Barbarian Guard behind, and for a moment flesh and blood flew everywhere. The enemy, except for a few elite warriors and priests, is still resisting stubbornly. One of the others was flipped to the ground.

Barbarian warriors are no ordinary human soldiers. They were on par with the Sawa Fish People in terms of physical qualities, but the latter were caught up in a one-sided massacre because they were dehydrated. Seeing that countless enemies began to flee in all directions, Henry immediately flew into the air and performed the seventh-level divine technique "Natural Beauty".

Ordinary fishmen had no resistance to this powerful magic at all, and they fell into a longing for a beautiful image and couldn't extricate themselves. Some of them are unable to see the beauty of nature directly, and their eyes have lost their light permanently. Buckendis screamed angrily at the sight of his men's demented appearance, but there was nothing he could do. Because he was entangled by the Terminator, he can't protect himself now.

Henry insidiously set fire to all the buildings of the docks, leaving only a living path to the main hall of the water queen. In order to flee for their lives, the Sawa Fishmen didn't care if they would offend a god, and they didn't even pay attention to Pastor Ambery's obstruction and rushed straight over. Quite a few guys who went berserk because of their injuries killed the priest in the temple and devoured the corpse, regardless of the consequences.

This blatant blasphemy instantly angered the goddess of the sea, who was already known for her furiousness. No god could tolerate a mortal doing such a thing in his own sanctuary, not to mention that these Sawa Fishmen had clearly crossed the line. I saw that the originally calm sea set off huge waves, and the guy who had just escaped through the temple into the sea was swept to the shore by the waves.

Seeing the spicy queen's anger, a smile appeared on Henry's face. He immediately sent a signal to the pterodactyls in the sky to drop their spears and kill all the enemies who were stunned by the waves. When the Fishman found out that the gods had intervened, he prayed desperately to his own gods, hoping that Sekora would save them, but unfortunately, there was no response.

After all, the offshore is Amberry's territory, and she's a member of the furious gods. It is impossible for the god Sekora to offend the god who has Taros, the Storm Master, for the sake of such a small number of believers. Seeing that Yiqiē's efforts were in vain, the Fishman stopped running away and launched a decisive counterattack. In just a few minutes, it caused a huge loss to Henry. Dozens of golems were destroyed, and at least a hundred barbarian warriors were killed in battle.

Henry didn't care about keeping his hole cards, and directly activated the ninth-level magic "Time Stop" once a day. The moment the spell took effect, he felt like he had entered a wonderful world. All the people and objects around them lost their colors and remained motionless. In this world there is only black and white, and they represent the flow of time.

Before he had time to think about it, Henry cast the last two eighth-level magic "Abidachi Death Technique" in a row, and then the time for magic came. Enemies covered in brownish-white mist began to quickly dehydrate and die in large numbers. Buckendis was also affected by this spell, and the Terminator took the opportunity to unleash the Legendary Warrior's unique skill, "Whirlwind Attack". A high-speed slash can turn a powerful warrior into a pulp in a matter of seconds.

Seeing the death of their own king, the remnants of the Sawa Fishmen seemed to have been drained of all their strength, and stood quietly waiting for death to come. Henry did not hesitate at all, and directly gave the order to kill them all. With the last enemy decapitated, all the battles are finally over.

Watching the originally extremely manic sea slowly calm down, Henry came to the destroyed water queen hall and bowed deeply. "Great Goddess, you are the master of the sea. Thank you very much for your help, otherwise we would not have been able to kill all these bandits. ”

"Mortal, you did a great job, especially the massacre that just now made me very happy. These damned blasphemers deserve to end up like this, otherwise how can they embody the majesty of the gods. The empty hall echoed Amberi's voice.

Hearing the goddess's words, Henry hurriedly bowed his head respectfully. He knew very well that this goddess was extremely fond of vanity and liked to listen to all kinds of sycophants. If you show a little disrespect, you are likely to be hated.

"The great goddess of beauty and strength, the Sawa Fishman is invading the entire Sword Bay. We lowly mortals simply couldn't resist, so we had to retreat inland. I am afraid that the temple will not be repaired in the short term, so I ask for your forgiveness. ”

Ambury burst into laughter at Henry's flattery. "Hahahaha! Mortal, you're good at talking. It doesn't matter, this temple has been desecrated anyway, and I don't plan to ask for it anymore at all. For your sake's sake, I'll tell you a piece of news for free. Flee for your life, the elite troops led by Jacques Houas will arrive in a few hours. ”

"Thank you very much for your kind reminder, and I will evacuate the coast with everyone." Saying that, Henry bowed again and hurriedly gave the order to retreat.

No one even had time to catch their breath. The wounded man simply treated him with divine magic, then packed up his things and quickly headed east. As soon as they left the city on their front feet, the army of Sawa fishmen arrived at the port area on their hind feet. Jacques Houas was speechless in shock when he saw the dense corpses. When he noticed the destroyed temple, a look of abruptness appeared on his face.

"Damn, this bastard of Buck Endis dares to attack the Temple! Well, now, not only have you lost so many men, but you have also offended a great god. Jacques Houas cursed fiercely.

A pastor next to him came over and whispered, "What should we do now?" Should I immediately retreat to the depths of the sea, or should I make a sacrifice and ask the goddess for forgiveness? ”

"Nonsense! Of course, it was a sacrifice, and our task was not accomplished. According to the plan, we will have at least another eight months. Go ahead and prepare, I guess you'll have to kill at least 200 people. So saying, Jacques Houas selected two hundred Sawa Fishmen from the procession and prepared to preside over the sacrifice himself.
